Through Building Bridges, Not Walls, Californians will be able to reach out to immigrant voters in swing states and encourage them to participate in the November election. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Building Bridges, Not Walls is about Californians rising to the occasion and fighting for candidates and policies that will move America forward,&#8221; Villaraigosa said. &#8220;Californians want to step up and respond in every way possible to protect our families, friends and neighbors from the threat of <span class=\"xn-person\">Donald Trump&#8217;s<\/span> scapegoating anti-immigrant politics. I am proud that the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> are so generous in their giving to campaigns and causes, but we have more to offer than just our pocket books. We have the power of passionate people who will engage on a person-to-person level to mobilize and turnout people to vote.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Building Bridges, Not Walls was founded by Villaraigosa, and will be run by a veteran campaign team. The campaign will begin by targeting voters in <span class=\"xn-location\">Arizona<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Nevada<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Colorado<\/span>, but will direct its efforts towards wherever it is needed to stop Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Villaraigosa added, &#8220;Building Bridges, Not Walls is about standing up and saying, &#8216;Enough!&#8217; We will help mobilize the passion we see in Californians who say &#8216;No!&#8217; to Trump and direct it \u2013 through calls, texts and emails \u2013 towards swing states where it matters most.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildingbridgesnotwalls.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.BuildingBridgesNotWalls.com<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><b>Contact: <span class=\"xn-person\">Roger Salazar<\/span> <br \/>415.548.1256\/ <\/b><a href=\"mailto:RSalazar@alzamedia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><b>RSalazar@alzamedia.com<\/b><\/a> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><b>Voter Activation Effort Will Empower Californians to Engage in Electoral Process Around the Nation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">LOS ANGELES<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">June 1, 2016<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; Former <span class=\"xn-location\">Los Angeles<\/span> Mayor and Speaker of the California State Assembly Antonio Villaraigosa today announced the launch of a new voter activation committee designed to empower Californians to engage in the national political process in advance of the <span class=\"xn-chron\">November 2016<\/span>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gobierno-y-politica"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45930\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
