A Meaningful Conversation
Last night, while I was phone banking, I had a brief but fascinating conversation with a Puerto Rican gentleman. The calls we make are random, so I didn’t know he was Puerto Rican at first; I just noticed his Hispanic name. Our discussion went something like this:
Understanding Identity
Him: You know I am Puerto Rican, right?
Me: No, I didn’t.
H: You know what that means, right?
Me: Yes — if I were you, I would probably be a little upset right now!
Passion for Change
H: I am! And trust me, I am voting for Harris!
Me: That’s fantastic! I hope you vote for Democrats all the way down the ballot!
Spreading the Word
H: I will! And I will get the word out!
Me: That is awesome! Thank you for your vote and your time! Have a great evening!
H: Will do — you too!
Stirring the Pot
I think we’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest! And that’s a good thing! Trump, you’ve messed up BIG TIME!
The Power of Every Vote
It’s important to remember that this voter was in Florida, where his vote can truly make a big difference! Every voice matters, and every vote counts. Let’s keep the momentum going and inspire others to join us in making a change!
