Latino Political Participation is a Two Way Street
Show Notes

Our guest, Dr. Stephen Nuño-Perez talks about the demographic change that is happening with 60 million Latinos in the United States and the chasm between the priorities of white older voters and younger Latino voters.   Dr. Nuño-Perez says: “The current political system alienates Latinos; we need to stop portraying them as apathetic and blaming them for not showing up to vote, but rather find ways to diminish that sense of alienation and facilitate their participation"
