Iowa Berners, could someone head down to West Liberty to convince an unreached Latino community?

-snip-
I was listening to NPR Morning Edition, and this story about four minutes in is about the growing Latino population in Iowa and one speaker, Jackie Gusman(sp?), said no one has come to tell them how or why to caucus. Quote:

Nobody says anything and nobody talks about it and [if] we see no nothing, then we're not gonna be nothing. And do nothing.

We need a majority of districts to go for Bernie, not just a plurality of supporters in major hubs. This community - and others like them - could be what helps tip the scales. Based on the comments in the report, I'm guessing a phone call isn't going to cut it. They'll likely need someone to go talk to them in person, and I'm unfortunately hundreds of miles away.

Good discussion on Reddit.

If they can't go themselves, they may be able to rustle up someone who can.
