Voting in 2024: A Modern and Authentic Way to Honor Our Heritage
Día de los Muertos is more than a celebration—it's a time to honor the lives and legacies of those who came before us. We believe that exercising our voices and collective power on election day is a profound and modern expression of our heritage.
Voting as a Modern Ritual
Voting is more than a civic duty; it continues the work our ancestors started, ensuring their sacrifices, their values, and their dreams continue to shape our future. By casting your ballot, you embody the aspirations of those who came before—our parents, grandparents, and community leaders—who fought for the rights we enjoy today. Similarly, voting is a powerful act that expresses our own values and hopes for the future. It’s an opportunity to stand for the issues that matter most to our families and communities.
Building a Future Worthy of Our Past
The 2024 election is a pivotal moment for the Latino community. By voting, we have the power to shape policies that will affect us and future generations. It’s not just about checking a box; it’s about claiming our place in the fabric of this nation. It’s a chance to build a future that is inclusive, equitable, and just—a future that honors the sacrifices and contributions of our ancestors.
Make Your Vote an Ofrenda
