Latinos For America Endorses Dean for DNC Chair |
|
www.latinosforamerica.com January 20, 2005 Governor Howard Dean for Chair of the Democratic National Committee Since its founding almost one year ago, Latinos for America has taken a stand for Latinos/Hispanics of all backgrounds. Our main focus has been to provide trainings, materials, and educational announcements to thousands of activists and first-time voters around the country. Our message to Latinos and Friends of the Community is simple: by speaking up and standing up for your values, and by organizing with like-minded people, you can make a difference.
We trained campaign managers, as well as new activists, in how to get involved in their communities and their country. We created radio and television public service announcements in Spanish and English to help get out the vote. In the Tucson, Arizona area alone, two of our Latino training graduates gained elected office.
Yet none of these things would have been possible without the active support and encouragement from Governor Howard Dean, and his grassroots organization, Democracy for America. Democracy for America provided LFA with valuable funds and support to make our acclaimed trainings available to people around the country. Thanks to Dr. Dean, LFA organized the first-ever high-level campaign management training entirely in Spanish, tailored to active members of a janitor’s union.
