¡Sí se puede! The power of Latino voters in shaping WeGo’s direction

Casa Michoacán is a welcoming center for immigrants of all backgrounds. They register voters through the New American Democracy Project, empowering residents to participate in the democratic process. They provide referrals to basic social services by partnering with DuPage County, WeGo Together for Kids, and other groups. While Casa Michoacán doesn’t tell people who to vote for, they played a pivotal role in getting out the vote for the Latino community in April’s municipal election. “Locally, we are creating the conditions for bigger things [to happen]. I’m excited. Let’s get things done, because it’s important for our community and the future and the new generations. We need to do this because they deserve better.” - Jose Luis Pepe GutierrezConnect with Casa Michoacán: 900 E. Roosevelt at the intersection of IL-59.
