OUR ROLE
Latino Presidential Poll
LCF partnered again with Latino Decisions to release a statewide poll for the 2020 Presidential Election. LCF and Latino Decisions also released a statewide poll of Latino registered voters for the 2020 California Presidential Primary in November 2019 and March 2020. The path to victory is through the Latino community and all campaigns must speak to Latinos directly!
Presidential Questionnaire
For the California Primary, LCF engaged the Democratic presidential candidates to respond to the issues on the minds of all Latinos in the state. With over 7.9M eligible Latino voters in California, we wanted to hear directly from the candidates. View the questionnaire here.
Latino Digital Activations
LCF is working to bring together Latino nonprofits, advocates, and youth to understand the importance of the 2020 elections through digital activations. LCF has planned a series of virtual events designed to mobilize the Latino vote! LCF has already partnered with institutions like UC Merced and Univision to ensure that our community is heard, especially among Latino students who make up the largest portion of the Latino electorate.
Speaking Up for Latino Voter Participation
Throughout the 2020 election LCF elevated the stories of everyday Latinos who are closely watching the presidential race and other important ballot initiatives, races, etc. It’s time for our community to be heard!
