I don’t want to live in an America in which corporate execs make record profits but mothers don’t have enough baby formula.

Mil gracias @Nicolemarie_A for excellent reporting! More must be done to engage Latinos on issues closest to their heart and pocketbooks. It’s time to rebuild trust in our democracy! And it needs to start with Latinos.
NEW: @LatinoCommFdn’s newest @bspresearch poll shows Latinos have rising cost of living, the economy, and housing top of mind as they head to the polls this November. Read more from @Nicolemarie_A in our @NBCLatino exclusive: https://t.co/4kHFsjeKun

Thank you @DoloresHuertaFD @PowerCANow @99_Rootz @SIRENImmiRights @TODEC1 & 100+ Latino-led grassroot orgs who led the charge for #2020Census! Amidst crisis & heartache these leaders never let up fight to get Latinos counted in #CA! @LatinoCommFdn proud to be supporting them!
Today, @uscensusbureau releases information on how many U.S. House members each state gets. But it's a good time to also applaud people who went door-to-door amid a pandemic and those who worked at home to make sure as many Census forms as possible were completed.
