ARIZONA — As we approach the pivotal 2024 general election, it’s clear that every voice and every vote will matter more than ever. That's why we at Mi Familia Vota, alongside our coalition partners, are excited to share the launch of the “Together We Will” campaign. This campaign, spearheaded by Activate 48, represents a collective effort to drive meaningful change in Arizona and ensure that our communities are actively engaged in the electoral process.

A Unified Push for Progress

On September 5th, 2024, Activate 48 hosted a dynamic media roundtable to unveil their ambitious campaign. This coalition, which includes LUCHA, Mi Familia Vota, Chispa Arizona, and Our Voice, Our Vote, is mobilizing a multifaceted approach to energize voters and tackle critical issues head-on.

The “Together We Will” campaign is set to make waves with several key initiatives:

1. Massive Voter Outreach: Over the coming weeks, our coalition aims to knock on an impressive 3,250,000 doors. This grassroots effort is designed to encourage Arizonans to participate actively in the electoral process and make their voices heard.
2. Empowering Organizers: We are proud to have hired and trained nearly 400 organizers. These dedicated individuals will play a crucial role in building a strong pipeline of engaged community members committed to advocating for a fair economy, a free democracy, and equal opportunities for all.
3. Historic Political Impact: Our coalition is working towards a historic milestone—a Democratic trifecta in state government. By expanding and energizing the electorate, we hope to make this a reality and push for progressive policies that benefit all Arizonans.
