Conversation with a Puerto Rican Gentleman I Spoke to While Phone Banking Last Night

This will be a short diary.

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!
