FOREWORD

After years of being overlooked, the 2020
presidential election is at a turning point, when
Latino voters are outsiders no more, and its
young constituents ages 18 to 34 emerge as the
real story of change that will reshape the nation.

The new research presented in this report
suggests that young Latino voters intend
to come to the polls this November at
unprecedented levels. They are frustrated and
concerned about the harm caused by COVID-19,
which has magnified long-standing inequities
in Latino communities. They are provoked
by racism, discrimination and nativism that
damages their sense of identity, tolerance and
pride. In response, they are coming on the scene
more confident, vocal and engaged than the
generations that preceded them. Candidates
Mónica Gil
Executive Vice President should pay serious attention and recognize
Chief Administrative and young Latinos because every year over the next
Marketing Officer decade, about one million more will become
eligible to vote.

Telemundo created “Decisión 2020” to be a multi-layered effort to
help young Latinos make more informed decisions through reliable and
trustworthy news, information and resources on the key issues that
matter most to them. This multiplatform initiative will feature online
voter registration events, virtual town halls, and community events with
important national and local partner organizations to prepare Latinos for
their amplified role in U.S. politics. These events will highlight pressing
issues in Hispanic communities, encourage serious discussion and press
for frank conversations with civic and political personalities of many
perspectives.

At Telemundo, we are committed to supporting this young Latino
generation of change, to facilitate resources that speak to their priorities,
to call out the issues that affect the stressed communities they live in
and most importantly, to be there for them as we witness their rise in
American society. This ambitious, hardworking, energized population is
ready to stand up and show the difference they can make in the world.
