HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA — On Saturday afternoon, Yareliz Mendez-Zamora, the daughter of Nicaraguan immigrants, had a clear message for her neighbors. With less than two days of early voting left in her home state, she enthusiastically told a crowd of immigrants in a heavily-Latino Miami suburb that they should vote, and vote early.

Standing in front of a paper Statue of Liberty at a community get-out-the-vote event, Mendez Zamora said that she will be voting on behalf of her undocumented parents.

“If my mom wasn’t scared to cross the border, how can I be scared to talk and to fight for my mom,” she told the crowd in Spanish. “So, for those who can vote, I want to tell you to remember your roots, remember where you come from, and don’t be scared.” https://thinkprogress.org/florida-latinos-set-records-in-early-vote-numbers-they-could-swing-the-election-401f359a8f6c#.n6fsdnytj
