Are students being ignored, unsupported, discriminated against, or left behind?

We want to hear about the issues affecting students and families in local schools. This may include a lack of communication with parents, language barriers, unfair discipline, bullying, racism, discrimination, lack of support for immigrant students, lack of mental health resources, or students feeling like their voices do not matter.

High school students and young voters deserve to understand that change is possible now.

Are language barriers keeping you or your family out of important conversations?

Public meetings, school communication, forms, services, town halls, and government information should be understandable and accessible. Families should not be excluded from decisions because interpretation was unavailable, translation was unclear, or information was only shared in English.

If you have struggled to get help, attend a meeting, understand a form, speak with an office, or participate in a public process because of language barriers, we want to hear about it.

Are public meetings hard to attend, understand, or participate in?

Many important decisions happen in meetings that working families, students, parents, and community members cannot realistically attend. Meeting times may conflict with work, childcare, school, transportation, or family responsibilities.

If local meetings feel inaccessible, confusing, or disconnected from the people most affected by the decisions being made, we want to hear about it.

Do you feel like local leaders are listening to the Hispanic community?

We want to know when elected officials, city leaders, county leaders, school boards, agencies, or public offices are not communicating clearly, not responding to community concerns, or not considering the needs of Hispanic families, workers, students, and immigrants.

Are housing costs, rent increases, unsafe conditions, or lack of affordable options affecting your family?

Housing is one of the biggest issues facing working families across Central Washington. We want to hear about the challenges people are experiencing, including rent increases, overcrowding, unsafe housing, fear of retaliation, difficulty finding affordable rentals, lack of tenant information, or being pushed out of the communities they call home.

Are workplace issues affecting your safety, income, dignity, or ability to support your family?

Workers are the backbone of our communities. We want to hear about concerns related to wages, scheduling, unsafe working conditions, discrimination, retaliation, lack of breaks, harassment, language barriers at work, or workers not knowing their rights.

Are immigration concerns, fear, or lack of trusted information affecting your family?

We know that many families carry stress around immigration, documentation, public systems, legal resources, and safety. People deserve clear information, trusted referrals, and community support without fear or shame.

Vote Win / Votamos Ganamos is not a legal office, but we want to understand where families are struggling, what resources are missing, and where misinformation or fear is keeping people from getting help.

Is transportation making it harder to work, attend school, get to appointments, vote, or participate in public meetings?

Transportation affects almost everything: jobs, school, healthcare, childcare, groceries, public meetings, and community events. If bus routes, schedules, costs, distance, road safety, or lack of reliable transportation are creating barriers for your family or neighborhood, we want to hear about it.

Are healthcare costs, access issues, language barriers, or lack of mental health support affecting your family?

We want to hear about the barriers people face when trying to get care. This can include cost, insurance issues, lack of providers, long wait times, lack of Spanish-speaking services, transportation challenges, fear of using services, or not knowing where to go.

Are people in your community being treated unfairly, targeted, ignored, or made unsafe?

We want to hear about discrimination, racism, harassment, profiling, fear of reporting problems, lack of trust in public systems, or situations where people feel unsafe asking for help.

Are there barriers making it harder for people to register, vote, understand ballots, or participate in elections?

Voting should be accessible, understandable, and available to every eligible voter. We want to hear if people are confused about registration, ballot language, deadlines, where to get help, candidate information, or how local elections affect their lives.

Our goal is not to tell people what to think. Our goal is to make sure voters have the information they need to make decisions based on what matters most to them and their families.

Are young people being left out of conversations about their future?

Young voters, students, and first-time voters deserve more than a last-minute reminder to register.

If you are a student, a young voter, or someone who works with youth, we want to hear what would make civic participation feel more accessible, meaningful, and possible.

Is there another issue affecting your family or community that does not fit into one of these categories?

Tell us anyway.

Sometimes the most important issues are the ones that do not fit neatly into a box. If something is making people feel unheard, unsafe, unsupported, excluded, confused, or ignored, we want to know.
