However, this is why elections, voting, and staying informed is immensely valuable right now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">As a DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] recipient, I do not get this privilege. And it\u2019s quite unfortunate that many who do have this ability don\u2019t care for it or take advantage of improving what is being challenged in our growing minority groups. It\u2019s time we change that with this election. I don\u2019t want to continue to see people struggling to get healthcare. I don\u2019t want to continue to watch families and children in cages. I don\u2019t want to continue to see Black communities being looked down upon just because of the color of their skin. I don\u2019t want to continue to see the LGBTQA+ community struggling to gain approval for something as simple as using the restroom that personally feels most comfortable to them. I don\u2019t want to see any of that anymore. And in order for that to happen, we need to vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">If you are unsure where you might be able to do so voting in Idaho, it can be done in person, by mail, online and frequently promoted on apps like Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram, so there is no excuse. Vote for someone who will fight for us and the people in our communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">D<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">espu\u00e9s de ver el primer debate presidencial muy, muy desordenado el 28 de septiembre, la pregunta m\u00e1s popular de b\u00fasqueda en Google para muchos estados como Michigan fue, \u201c\u00bfc\u00f3mo obtener una ciudadan\u00eda en Canad\u00e1?\u201d No culpo a nadie por querer salir de este pa\u00eds en este momento. Sin embargo, esta es la raz\u00f3n por la que las elecciones, el voto y mantenerse informados son inmensamente valiosos en este momento.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Como destinatario de DACA, no obtengo este privilegio. Y es bastante desafortunado que muchos que tienen esta habilidad, no la cuidan o se aprovechan de lo que se est\u00e1 desafiando en nuestros crecientes grupos minoritarios. Es hora de que cambiemos eso con estas elecciones. No quiero seguir viendo a la gente luchando por recibir atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. No quiero seguir vigilando a familias y ni\u00f1os en jaulas. No quiero seguir viendo comunidades negras siendo despreciadas s\u00f3lo por el color de su piel. No quiero seguir viendo a la comunidad LGBTQA+ luchando por obtener la aprobaci\u00f3n de algo tan simple como usar el ba\u00f1o que personalmente se siente m\u00e1s c\u00f3modo para ellos. No quiero ver m\u00e1s nada de eso. Y para que eso suceda, tenemos que votar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Si no est\u00e1s seguro de d\u00f3nde podr\u00edas votar en Idaho, puedes hacerlo en persona, por correo, en l\u00ednea y promocionado frecuentemente en aplicaciones como Snapchat, Facebook e Instagram as\u00ed que no hay excusa. Vota por alguien que luchar\u00e1 por nosotros y por la gente en nuestras comunidades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OUR VOICE COUNTS After watching the very, very messy first presidential debate on Sept. 28, the most popular searched question on Google for many states like Michigan was, \u201chow to get a citizenship in Canada?\u201d Now, I don\u2019t blame anyone for wanting to leave this country in this moment in time.
