Power to the People with Ranked Choice Voting, Plus DACA Attorney Shares Her Story

Today on the pod we have two incredibly accomplished, immigrant Latinas whose work is having a lasting impact on the future of our elections and on welcoming new Americans. First up, you’ll hear from Marcela Miranda-Caballero, the Executive Director of Cal RCV (California Ranked Choice Voting Coalition), where she leads efforts to bring fairer, more representative elections to California. A Dreamer/DACAmented, first-generation college graduate, and proud daughter of a working-class immigrant mother, she built her career in political strategy and coalition-building before turning her focus to reforming the rules of our elections so that every Californian has a true voice at the ballot box. To learn more about Cal RCV, contact Marcela: [email protected] After that, you’ll hear from Maria Fernanda Madrigal Delgado, a DACAmented immigration attorney, mom of three, and content creator sharing honest conversations about what it’s actually like to live undocumented in the United States, all while working to naturalize immigrants who have a pathway that she does not.
