The Youth Vote in 2024.

Millions of Young Latino Voters May Vote for the First Time in the November Election. In 2020, Latino youth turned out in record numbers to vote in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Virginia, and they were the largest bloc of Latino voters in Georgia, Colorado, and Arizona. Will they show up to vote this time? What excites them and what discourages them from voting? What’s their potential impact on the election? How are they getting involved in the election? Where can they make a difference? What do they want? Analysts share the findings of a youth poll on the issues young voters care about and the answers they want from election leaders.

Guests: Juana García, Social Media Coordinator, Power California, Fresno, CA; José Flores, Arizona State Program Coordinator, PoderLatinx, Phoenix, AZ; Esaú Torres, Promoter from the San Joaquin Valley, “Grita. Canta. Vota.” Campaign, San Francisco, CA.
