ZeroDivide 2008 Chair Arturo Vargas in the News
"We are experiencing an unprecedented era of mobilization among immigrant voters," said Arturo Vargas, the executive director of the Los Angeles-based National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.
Momentum has been building since massive immigrant marches in 2006, when 1 million people - at least 400,000 in Chicago alone - took to the streets to tout immigrant rights, stoking heated debates over immigration reform and lending an urgency to involving immigrants in elections.
Immigrants have been courted by activists in mosques, churches, at naturalization ceremonies and through door-to-door campaigns in an effort to get them to the polls for the 2008 presidential election - part of a nationwide effort particularly reflected in states with rapidly changing demographics.
Prior to Super Tuesday, activists reached out to immigrant voters in 'unprecedented' ways. To read a few excerpts from Super Tuesday's results, please visit the following links:
