Vota Vato 2020 – U.S. Presidential Primaries – March 3, 2020

If you’re like me, you’re feeling exhausted. The climate in this country feels so tense – like it did walking the streets of South Central in the 90’s – and tastes like a trip to the dentist. This is the most important election of our lifetime! Getting Donald Trump out of office is first our…

We’ve prepared our own list of questions that we recommend asking the candidates vying for LAUSD Superintendent.

You’d think they were giving away free tamales in the House Of Representatives the way that so many of my gentes jumped in this race.
