Editor’s Note: At the start of 2020, palabra. posted a landmark essay by Michelle García that explored the state of play for Latinos in this important political year. We published a few weeks before the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that our lives would be severely altered by a new coronavirus. The year has since become a tragic mess. Yet here we are, already voting in record numbers ahead of election day.
To mark the run-up to November 3, palabra. will explore the Latino vote: who’s making waves in the community, and what it took to get us to the point where we’re likely to play a decisive role in selecting the next U.S. president.
