Combined OUR Indigenous, Hispanic and African community is 33% of the United States. Elections are won or lost by just a few percentage points. We can win this.

Latin

Latin culture is originally Greek. Romans absorbed it from Greeks in southern Italy and spread the culture around the Mediterranean. When Rome fell, the culture survived among Christians, Jews and Muslims in Spain. The Renaissance made it a pan-European culture.

There were other great civilizations in Africa, Asia and the Americas.  Spices and silk, then sugar and slavery brought us together. In the Americas we mixed into our Latin thing and New York City is our capital. ¡Azúcar!
