This year, a group of reporters worked with The World to follow young, first-time Latino voters throughout the US. Their stories were included in our “Every 30 Seconds” project, based on the fact that about every 30 seconds, a Latino becomes eligible to vote in the US. In the last installment from Washington state, we hear from Michelle Aguilar Ramírez, an 18-year-old student who recently moved from Seattle to Spokane — a politically different part of the state that is challenging Ramirez. KUOW’s Esmy Jimenez has an update.
The story you just read is available for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
Make a gift today, and you’ll get us one step closer to our goal of raising $25,000 by June 14. We need your help now more than ever!
