This isn’t just about one debate, either—it’s about the long road ahead to building real political power for nuestra gente. The pundits will focus on soundbites and poll numbers, but we’re here to get to the core of what’s at stake for us: exposing the abuses to immigrant communities, confronting economic inequality, demanding an end to the genocide in Palestine, and so much more.
