Hispanic Federation, La Casa Norte, the Puerto Rican Cultural Center and the Illinois Latino Agenda (ILA) held a press conference to kick off part of the largest Latino GOTV campaign in Chicago’s history. Volunteers gathered outside of La Casa Norte in Humboldt Park before starting a day of door knocking to get out the Latino vote.

The GOTV campaign is being funded by Hispanic Federation, a nonpartisan Latino member organization, and will aim to knock on 10,000 doors, send 260,000 text messages with voting information, and make about 130,000 calls to voters. By partnering with La Casa Norte and the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, Hispanic Federation will mobilize bilingual volunteers to connect with community members and encourage voter participation and registration.
