Your Voice, Your Vote, Your Future

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Do you want to go first?
  • 0:02 - 0:03
    Who starts?
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    Why do you vote, mama?
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    I vote because it's really important
    my voice is heard.
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    It is a great privilege that
    my great grand mother
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    and her mother
    and her mother
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    did not have
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    If I'm not voting, then no one's
    thinking about my issues
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    Access to healthcare,
  • 0:22 - 0:23
    police violence,
  • 0:23 - 0:24
    immigration reforms,
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    environmental issues,
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    access to affordable housing
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    gender violence against women, queer,
    trans and non-binary people of colour
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    All these policies personally affect me
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    I am so inspired by this young
    beautiful lady sitting next to me
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    because she is informed.
  • 0:39 - 0:44
    I look at women like her and they were the
    ones who taught me to speak up for myself
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    We're beginning to see that
    we do make a difference
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    Voting is the way to do it
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    Every woman - please vote for
    yourself and for your sisters
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    YWCA is on a mission to eliminate
    racism and empower women
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    Tu voz, tu voto, tu futuro
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    Your voice, your vote, your future
