The Hispanic Caucus and DA Belgium join forces to host a fun happy hour to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month. Join us to learn about Hispanic Culture and to play Lotería (Mexican bingo) – one of the best ways of learning about a culture is through games!

No prior knowledge of the game required, but if you are curious, here is a short tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKNSIDfyeBk

We won’t be playing for money, but there might be prizes!

Date & Time: Wednesday 29 September, 2:15 pm EST, 8:15 pm CET, 1:15 pm MX City

RSVP to receive the link to join

This Hispanic Heritage month DA Belgium and the Hispanic Caucus come together to host a discussion on the movie “The Wasp Network/La red avispa.” Based on a true story, the movie presents the lives of five Cuban spies in the 1990s who infiltrate exile groups to stop terrorism against the island.

Watch the movie and join us to share your views, observations and to celebrate and reflect on the Hispanic Heritage, in particular Cuban heritage. It will also be an occasion for the FL State Team to join us and remind all of our FL 20^th district (Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach) voters that there is a special election taking place on Nov 2 (primary) and Jan 11th (general election).

Date & time: October 5, 2021 at 1:00pm EST (7:00 pm CET, 12:00 Mexico City)

Las Vidas Negras Importan 

Nosotros, el Comité Directivo del Caucus Hispano de los Demócratas en el Extranjero, reconocemos la tristeza y la desesperación de nuestras queridas comunidades y aliados negros como resultado del racismo institucionalizado, las acciones horribles y opresivas infligidas por un sistema de justicia injusto, la represión generalizada de votantes en toda nuestra república y un desalmado Presidente de los Estados Unidos. Es suficiente. No podemos permanecer en silencio mientras esta administración continúa avivando las llamas del racismo con llamados a la violencia letal contra nuestras comunidades. Condenamos la violencia sin sentido contra afroamericanos y defendemos la solidaridad y la paz por el derecho a protestar por los derechos humanos y la dignidad básica. ¡La deshumanización de nuestros hermanos y hermanas negros debe DETENERSE! 

More Than 1.2M Voters Turn Out
In Illinois Democratic Primary

Democratic Hermanos y Hermanas—

Thanks to you, Illinois Democrats turned out in higher numbers in more than a decade for a mid-term election. Remember, outside of Chicago and upper northwest, the rest of “downstate” Illinois has Republican representation in the House. And like what we recently saw Texas, it’s clear that Illinois Republicans are barely hanging on by a thread for the time being, and it’s up to us as voters to boot EVERY. SINGLE. REPUBLICAN. OUT.

For a list of IL election results, see here.

If you vote in Illinois, here are your Democratic candidates who we should be electing in November:

Governor
J.B. Pritzker (challenger to incumbent GOP governor Bruce Rauner, the most vulnerable governor in the country)

U.S. House of Representatives
IL-1
Bobby Rush (INCUMBENT)

IL-2
Robin Kelly (INCUMBENT)

IL-3
Dan Lipinski (INCUMBENT)

IL-4
Jesús “Chuy” García (challenger to open seat)

IL-5
Mike Quigley (INCUMBENT)

IL-6
Sean Casten (challenger to GOP incumbent Rep. Peter “I-never-met-a-tax-scam-I-didn’t-like” Roskam)

IL-7
Danny Davis (INCUMBENT)

Democrats Abroad [Los demócratas en el extranjero] apoya firmemente la legislación razonable de armas. Deploramos la la renuencia del Congreso para promulgar leyes que protegerían a los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos Americanos

Julia Bryan, Presidenta Internacional de Democrats Abroad dice: "Legislación sensible de armas es la norma en casi todos los demás países desarrollados, donde los líderes no son deudos con organizaciones como la NRA para financiar su próxima campaña política. En Japón, muerte por arma de fuego es tan infrecuente como la muerte por relámpago. En los Estados Unidos, arma de fuego mata a nuestros amigos y familiares tan frecuentemente como un accidente de coche. Aceptar esta realidad como las consecuencias inevitables de proteger la segunda enmienda es negar los derechos en que nuestro país fue fundada - que todas las personas son iguales y están dotadas de ciertos derechos inalienables: vida, libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad. "

Nuestros miembros marcharán en eventos en el mes de marzo - para más información sobre un evento cerca de usted, visite la página de su Comité local.
