your voice, Tuvoto. I'm Gadi de Lorbe, how we're bringing some great voices from the Latinx community. We want to give special thanks to Sankofa.org and the Latino Community Foundation, y'all.

But before we start, we have to give thanks to our ancestors. Oh yeah. By your heads, let's pray. Then our indigenous ancestors, our native, especially the Africans, thank you for being here with us today so we can have a phenomenal show. Ah, she. Do you know that so.

Hi, I'm Allo Black, and I'm proud to join you for Tumusik, Tuvost, Tuvoto. As a first-generation American, whose parents are from Panama, I represent a very unique part of the spectrum of Afro-Latinidad here in the United States. And I believe that we all need to use our voice to speak. truth to power. We have to come together and vote, educate ourselves, and understand that our voice matters and that we can make a difference if we use our voice. So the song I want to sing for you is called Lift Every Voice. It is known as the Black National Anthem, but in solidarity with all peoples who've suffered indignities and oppression here on this land, this is a perfect song to sing

about how we can lift our voice. Lift every vote. and sing till earth and heaven ring ring with the harmonies of liberty

let our rejoicings rise high as the least sky let it be down loud is the moon

sea now I'm going to sing now I'm going to sing a song all of the faith that the dark that has taught us I'm going to sing

a song full of the hope that the present has brought us I'm going to sing a song. Yeah, I'm going to lift my voice and I'm going to sing a song. I'm going to sing a song. Yeah, I'm going to lift my voice and I'm going to sing a song full of the faith that the dark cat is

taught us I'm going to sing a song full of the holes that the present has brought us facing the rising sign of our new day

begun let us march on to be able to be Victory is one. Thank you. watch parties, because this is a party, y'all. That's right. That's a party.

Yes. Okay. For some mereng, but not suavement, okay? This election is about using your voice to stand up for what you believe in, to show up and vote for all of those who can't. That's right. So we want to thank all of the organizations who are supporting us. MoveOn.org, Women's March Foundation, Color of Change,

We have a big responsibility this November 3rd, and we need to make sure our voices are heard. I wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for all those farm workers and people making sure we had food on our tables during this pandemic, especially all the Latinos risking their lives and only making $15,000 to $17,000 on average. thousand dollars on average annually. Learn about the candidates and who wants to improve working

conditions for farm workers, protect the environment, fund food assistance programs, and strengthen the climate protection. The Latinx community could be the largest, most influential in the electorate. Latinx Juventud! You'll the swing the outcome of this election, but only if we all do our part and come out and vote! What's up guys? As you know, it is a super important time of year, it is important time in history, especially for people like me and you who are part of the Latinx community, or for everybody, actually. I wanted to invite you guys to be a part of this moment that really matters to not just us, but people across the country and globally. Latinas people have to deal with a lot of different issues in this country and all over

the world, and we can be a part of the change so that not only can people in our community have better lives, but people all around us and people in the future. We're not only doing it for us. We're doing it for our community. We're doing it for the people that are coming after us. I encourage you to get out there and vote. I encourage you to go out there and let your voice be heard. It is an amazing thing to be able to be part of the country that you are in. It doesn't matter if people say, oh, but my vote doesn't count and whatever. Like, who cares? How many other things do you do that you're not sure of. You're not sure if you get out, if you walk into the street, that something's going to happen to you. Like, you just don't know. So why do you have to lose?

You have nothing to lose except for a few moments of your time to just go out and vote and make a difference. I promise you, we are a huge voice. We can do something. We can be of great value. We are of great value. And we can be a part of a really big change. I am excited to see what we can do. I'm excited to see the future. And I hope you are too. Let's do this. y'all we got this in general i never saw myself playing any essential role at alone working out a grocery store however i felt it was part of my duty to be here for my community especially for my co-workers who are elderly if you're not ready to come out yet just know that there are people are not only fighting for themselves because when i fight i fight for my whole community we can

move mountains together. To know who you are, you gotta know who you were. Because to know where you're going, you gotta know where you're at. It's all connected. We're gonna go back 400 years, then fly to the present so we can think about tomorrow. This song is called the Zapatiado. Oh, ha! Oh, ha!

And when I spit rhymes on my ancestors come, we sing songs about the past, about the present, about our pain.

I just wanted to say that when I was younger, I remember my dad not being able to vote for a very long time because he only had his green card. He was born in Guadalajara. So when the 2008 elections came around, it was the very first time I was able to vote, and I was so excited to participate. I'm not here to tell you who to vote for or what party to participate in. I'm just here to remind you that you and only you are.

responsible for your voice and your vote. During quarantine this year, we've had to spend a lot of time with ourselves, and I just hope that that's reminded everyone that we have to take care of ourselves, speak up for ourselves, because our voices and our votes really do matter. So please vote on or by November 3rd. Peace. You're going to do with You're going through it lately Feeling the pressure down You want to stop being lazy

it's very important for those that who can't. So I think we need to show up. Yeah. And I mean, I'm the child of an undocumented person who got deported three times and people say, well, he's not here and he can't vote. Well, we can change the laws. Maybe he can't come here

The way to do it, register and vote. It's very easy to find out how to do it, just go online. The Latinx community is one of the largest communities in this country. So if we will go and vote, we can swing the results of this election to whoever we want. So please, register and vote. Hey everyone, it is Julia Mejia at large city councilor in the city of Boston, and I'm here to tell you that because of one vote, yes, one vote, I won my elections, which means if you think your vote doesn't matter, you need to think again.

And who we elect into office both, nationally and locally can have major impacts on our lives.

That's why it's important to, excuse me, it is critical that we vote this year for ourselves, for our families, and for our community. The Latinx community can be the largest and most influential group in the electorate. And the Latinx youth, whew! That's all of you all out there watching us right now on your cell phones, man, at home or chilling or whatever you're doing.

You are the ones that can change, the outcome of this election, but only if you show up and vote. It's your time now. Future's in your hands. Vote. If you If you're that my heart just can't

and not be happy if I'm if I Hello, you know I see I know

I've I'm my and I'm my my life for your pleasure

I Hello Hello. Karen. If someone had a problem with your voting record, you'd want me to tell you, right? Is this about the time I requested a provisional ballot? What's a provisional ballot again?

Last time I went to vote, the poll workers couldn't find my name in the voter roll, but I knew I had registered to vote because I voted in the last presidential election. So they purged your name on a voter rolls? Sort of like voter suppression? Exactly. So I had to ask for a professional ballot. Thinking about potentially losing my DACA status during COVID is extremely scary knowing that I'm one of the main people providing for my family.

Hello, I'm Alan with Marcha for Our Lives. You may know us as a national youth-led movement to end gun violence, or the kids who called BS on politicians who refuse to stand up to the gun lobby. This election is very critical for our movement. We've lost more 40,000 people to violence of arms in this country. With their votes, you can't help to avoid that number still augmenting. One election won't change everything, but we can't create a world free from violence when we We have leaders who constantly make excuses and perpetuate violence.

We have the power to re-chazzar to leaders and electors that interpon in the camino of the creation of a nation more just and pacifica and that not protect our lives. It's our power, use it. Make a plan and vote. Two out of every three Latinx eligible voters live in just five states. So what does that mean? California alone holds roughly a quarter of the nation's Latinx eligible voters. Texas is second, with 5.6 million, followed by Florida with 3.1 million, New York with 2 million,

and here in Arizona, 1.2 million. The Latinx community could be the largest and most influential group in the electorate, and the Latinx youth could swing the outcome of the election, but only if you come out and vote. So, here we are music, your voice, your voto, and I am about to have a conversation with that man who, when he hits the notes, we all shiver. El Senor Don Carlos Santana. Encanado. I'm an honor. I'm an honor.

How are you? I'm grateful and happy. Good. I love that. You know, one of the things that I love about you is that the energy that you generate because I'm a metaphysical child. So I believe in the principles of the universe and our subconscious minds. and so you've been able to generate so much love through your art.

What does it mean to you to know that you are that to us? It means that the prayers for my mom and dad are working. Yeah, beautiful. You know, I think that when we start talking about politics in the current day, we've kind of lost our way. And I think it's very important to stay on message into what's important is the people. And I wanted to ask you, what is your vision, your ideal vision for what the world should be and what the world should look like? Higher consciousness, getting over, graduating over the religion, flags, patriotism, nationalistic,

All the things that when you go to heaven, they don't mean shit. Because in heaven, there's no borders or flags or patriotism and all that kind of stuff that people make up in their minds to promote fear in division and separation. When the Berlin Wall came down, we all celebrated Mandela was free. People need to remember that the same day the Berlin Wall came down, Mandela was free. Look it up. And we felt really, really happy that all things happened. So for me, I'm pretty much aware that I was born in Outland, Calisco, close to about a few hours from Guadalajara.

And but my consciousness is like, I'm a multidimensional Mexican multidimensional spirit. that it's not a tourist anywhere in Africa or Puerto Rico or anywhere. When I play or when I show up, I'm part of the family. I mean, because everybody grew up with me, the grandparents, parents, teenagers, and little children in the living room, you know. So I have a different perception of what I would love to see heaven on earth be. But for that to happen, we have to, like, upgrade the Bible in the Constitution and any religious books that have very little to do with spirituality, but a lot with

making people mental slavery like Bob Marley calls it. Hey, there are Paloma. You know who they call me for? Amara la Negra. My amor Does that make me insecure Me amor My amor

Amor Does that make me insecure At night when you're falling asleep Hold your cell phones tighter than me You think that I can see What's happening You're woman like ABC Why you creep like TOC

I'll give you to one, two, three till I up and leave. You say I'm loca crazy Said I've been tripping late I want to know, baby Does that make me insecure Me Amo My Amo

Does that make me insecure Me, I'm more Me, I'm gonna Because that makes me insecure You say I've been doing too much Never too much when it's about love Would you rather I just give up

On us, on us Yesterday it was all about us Now I don't know who I can trust Is my love not enough I've had enough You say I'm like crazy, said I've been tripping lately, I want to know, baby. Does that make me insecure, my amor, me amour. My amor.

Does that make me insecure, my amor? Intuition usually right when you're not next to me at night Make me feel I'm losing my mind but I'm on to something this I can't put my finger on it But I know you're not being on this I'm just giving you a warning Does that make me insecure me I'm born Does that make me insidore? My amor. My amor.

My amor. Don't that be in the door. Hello. It's so important for you to vote. I'm speaking to you in Spanish. That's because I'm coming to you from New Yorko. Come

with me. Come to me if you know you know we're going to let's get us back. You'll see

the little, the good, the good, what I go first, after I get to the people.

The Bruege Down, the bendecida of the underground, brillando like a star in the sky,

inspiring my people, that are first. Rhythm is my music, poetry, my lyrica, the

Brouah is the mystica, I'm going to be politica. And if I'm doing, I'm going, and I go, can't, inventing, style since when? Come with me to vote

to change these States Units. Come with me. If you know who I'm so I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Modelo, poet salsaa,

rapera, maestra, a cheeser, the reina New Yorkiegeenia. Ben with me. And vote. I used to think that I didn't know enough about the election or the candidates to make sure that I made the best choices on Election Day.

I was wrong and also I took my time to do my research and get that information that I needed and you can do the same thing. This is the election in which we need to show up. You may not be prepared, but you know more than you realize and you already know the issues that affect you. the issues that affect your family, our communities, our people, issues that affect justice. So I needed to take time to realize that the Latinx vote, specifically the Latinx youth, we have the power to swing the outcome of this election. Only if you come out to vote. So, put on to peria and vote and vote, puttapar and vote.

Hello, beautiful and amazing people, Bambi Salcedo with the Trans-Latinao Coalition. I am so glad that your music, to voice, to vote, is doing this amazing event. But I want to obviously invite you and remind you of the importance of voting in this election. As we know, this election is going to mark the election the lives of many of our peoples and your participation your right to vote you need to exercise it please go votes please register if you have not and please make sure that you make your votes count thank you For all the mothers fighting for better days to come on.

And all my women's in here trying to come home before us. The 19th Amendment of the Constitution, also known as Women's Right to both states the right of citizens of the united states to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the united states or by any state on account of sex my vote matters your vote matters her vote matters our votes because i am a super woman yes i am yes she is I still put on a list Well, then that's on my chest Oh yes, I'm a superwoman

Yes, she is Okay, okay, okay To pick you back, it's begin 1920 Progress is made minus color and inclusive A journey like equality amongst all women It took many more years to give us all permission to Sleep of the silence and hand in hand we united We're fighting for the day

When it's equal, let's divide it with the power. with the power that's been giving. We have duty. It's our mission that we make our voice count to follow the decisions, yeah. Because I am a superwoman. And I am. Sing it out of love.

Yes, she is. See, the win of my best is the pride on the best with the nest on my chest. Oh, yes, I'm a superwoman. Yes, she. I am. Hi, I'm calling you. Hi, I'm Carlos Santana, wishing you the highest blessings, peace and light.

Did you know that voting is one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard? Of all the issues that matter, I think the main one is consciousness. We invite you to utilize your consciousness and your courage. Go and vote and know that your voice can make a difference to change destiny, not only for your family, your community, this nation, but the whole world. For those who have equality, fairness, and justice, go out and vote. If you listen to that song from Santana, time for you to all get down. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. Vote. You are an icon and still in the midst of being an icon still creating amazing art. And I believe that people tell artists don't talk about politics, just stick to art.

And I think that sometimes the greatest voices about the things that have happened in the world, from John Lennon to you say Bob Marley, our artists, Rita Kahlo, have always had voices in what happens to the world. What do you say to the people that tell us artists not to talk about the issues of the world? Well, first of all, only up and there who tells me what to do and who to do.

God doesn't. That's right. That gave me freedom of, this is the planet of free will. So people who say that to me is usually because they're insecure and they want me to fit in their own cubicles. That's right. Oh, Santana, you know what? I'm not going to buy your albums more unless you just, just play music.

Like, oh, you want me to just play piñata music? That's right. I can go anywhere in Africa. And I know everyone pretty much by name and their music. And they all are, you know, the greatest compliment I got him from an African musician, he just passed, Mr. Mori Kante. And we did a whole wave of presentation with African musicians in Montreau Jazz Festival. And at the end of it, Mordecaante brought his interpreter, because he does his speak English, and he says, Hi, Mr. Mordicante would like to talk to you.

And I said, oh, you know, I stood up and said, you know, I love Mori Kante. Thank you for being here and thank you for joining with us. How can that be a service to you? He says, he wants to tell you this, so I'm going to be an interpreter. I said, okay, he says to tell you, your belly's full, but you're hungry to feed the people. Wow.

And I was like, whoa, you know? So I take the compliments from Mordecaante, or when someone says, you've always been a hardinger of collective, consciousness commonality. I'll take that compliment, you know. That, you know, so after, I'm 73, and now I take more clarity than when somebody tells me,

you know, you should just play this and just shut up. I go, well, you need to get in line with a lot of pendezos because they've been telling me that for a long, long time. And I don't listen to this, you know. I don't know, but move on. Well, you know, the funny thing is that, As an artist, you pay taxes. It's not like you just go around doing art for free.

So when they say that to us, it's really ironic because we're tax-paying citizens. And we have a right to tell these politicians, you work for me, I pay your salary, I pay taxes. I want one of those shirts. So in conclusion, because I know that you are a very busy human being, I agree with you. that we've gotten very nationalistic and we've gotten very the patriotism has become a mask for some ugliness and there is room for us to make an there's an opportunity for us in this moment to uh have a paradigm shift and make a real big difference how do you say how do you move people to look towards that shift and look pat look back not look back and say let's move forward

We say, may the heavens open up, and the angels bless each and everyone with the deep awareness of your own light. Grace is my GPS, and my light is my guide. You know, I understand that a lot of people are still wearing a helmet, because it is a helmet. You know, and in this helmet, it's like, it's the Constitution and the Constitution and the Bible, and they quote scripture left and right when they want to make a point. And I go, well, you know, the only thing that God quotes to me is like, why don't you offer joy, peace, and unconditional love, and everything else they can keep? You honor and respected. But see, this is why they killed Jesus in the cross, because he was saying the same thing. The more commandments they make,

the more laws they break. I only give you one commandment. Love each other the way I love, unconditionally. You know? So when you start dealing with unconditional love, there's no need for a flag anymore. There's no need for a voter. There's no need for patriotism.

You know, who's more Mexican? Who's more Latino? Who's more, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know? How about it? Who's more luminous? Who's more kind? Who's more compassionate?

who's more charismatic, you know? Absolutely. Have a beautiful day. Thank you so much for your time. And I am better for knowing you. I'm going to keep laughing. Que you'll te v. V.M. D.M. D.G.

Yes, family. Bye. Hey, Al. Rosario Dawson here, wondering if you are ready to VOTE, if you're physically going to the polls, make sure you know the correct location and what time it opens. and closes. Did you know that if you were online at the time the polls closed, you can still vote? Make sure you have a voting plan ready with all the ID, hand sanitizer, and face masks,

you need to be safe. And to be extra safe, maybe even bring some comida because it might be a long wait. If you were voting by mail, have you requested a ballot yet? If not, go to usa.gov slash absentee-dash voting, and it will come in the mail right to you if there is still time. Otherwise, maybe you're in one of the 21 states or district of Columbia where you can do same-day voter registration. Because if you are eligible to vote, vote. Vote for those who can't but need leaders who care about them. Latinos could be the largest minority group in the electorate and young Latinos could swing the outcome, but only if you come out and vote. I'm the healercaresia, the neblinna denser

Kallez Thank you. Much Thank you Be well Hey guys, how you doing? My name is Shulamadeuwenya. I wanted to make this video to you talking about voting. Now, I know there may be a lot of you who are in a similar situation I am, where you've just become of age to start voting, you know, start registered for voting. And I think that it's very important that if you are registered, that you should vote in this next election.

Now, I'm not going to tell you who you should vote for or who you shouldn't vote for, just that you should vote. You know, you're going to miss 100% of the opportunities that you don't go out and take. So by voting as youth, at the very least, we can have people in office who we feel reflect our communities, our backgrounds, our culture. And I think that voting is the number one way to do that. La Morinita ma bella, Amara La Negra. Hey guys, what's up? What's up? What's going on to girl Amara La Negra? And I am asking, I am begging you guys. go out there and vote by or on November 3rd, especially all of you guys in Florida.

You know, where is that Miami like me? Or if you are in Pennsylvania or Ohio, what are you doing that you haven't gone out there and vote? My mom, get with it. And just so you know, every 30 seconds, a young Latino in the U.S. turns 18. Your vote matters more than ever. And honestly, if we come together and vote as, like, Latinos, we could be the largest minority group to be impactful in this year's election.

And this truly means a lot. Listen, young Latinos can swing the outcome of the elections. My Amor, what are you waiting for? Go out there and vote. And for si las mosques, I want you to tell your Tia, your Tio, your abuela, your mom, your friends, your neighbors, everybody that you know to go out there and vote. And honestly, make sure that you guys. go out there and vote, or if you're having voted already, vote by November 3rd, your boat matters, and we are counting on you.

We need you. Every single boat counts is your girl, Mara La Negra, and I'm telling you to go out there and vote now. Hey, guys, just trying to bring some happiness, some joy to your homes. Thank you guys so much for all the love and support. This is DJ, Breezy Tofly, and your girl, Marla de la Negra. You already know how we do. D'ale!

because these political, they're doing for us. Exactly. And for that they're for us. We have to go to vote. And we're going to do this. And I hope that this inspired to someone, someone that's going to vote, but now they're going to because not just we're going to go for us, but also for the

other who can't vote. As I said my abuelita, that God, Mamma, Diosa me let's have in the glory. Vota for that you respect. Exactly. I'm Ida Rodriguez. And Gadiel Delorpe.

Okay. And we are out. Yes. Okay, what is that? Regina said you don't know squat about voting and you don't really have ESPN. She said that? Regina's the one who didn't even know

you needed to bring your ID the first time you vote. I mean, voter ID law is very low. by state, but still, everyone who's voting for the first time has to provide proof of ID. And I heard, as of this year, 34 states are enforcing voter identification requirements. Blame, stop trying to make voter suppression happen. So.

to use your voice and cast your vote because we need you like never before. You, that is my and alidia this of this and I'll live this and I don't live in peace and
