Award-winning actress Salma Hayek announced her support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and helped launch the campaign, “Latinos For Hillary.” In a campaign email for Clinton, Hayek did not mask her distaste for current Republican front-runner Donald Trump, writing, “Es increíble that the leading candidate of the Republican Party has been irresponsibly campaigning, using unfounded and insulting accusations against the Latino community to win votes.”

Clinton’s campaign announced last Thursday that it planned to launch “Latinos For Hillary” with several events that were scheduled to roll out over the next several weeks, during Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs Sept. 15-Oct. 15, NBC News reported. Although Clinton's poll numbers have been sliding, she remains the Democratic front-runner, and a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found 53 percent of Latinos view Clinton positively, with only 21 percent having a negative view of the politician, Latina.com reported

We are one of the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing groups in the United States of America,” Hayek wrote. “We deserve a candidate who respects the contributions we have made to this country and understands how important it is that our community continues to thrive, all while treating us con dignidad y respeto.”
