Description : UNO professor Dr. Johnathan Benjamin Alvarado partnered with UNO adjunct professor and South High Magnet School faculty Mr. Gutierrez to assist the Heartland Worker’s Center in their “I Vote for My Family” campaign that worked to increase voter turnout of South Omaha residents for the midterm election. Students learned about issues that affect Latino voters and barriers the Latino population face in America’s political system while they worked alongside the staff at the Heartland Worker’s Center (HWC) canvassing, phone banking, and knocking doors. The students, faculty, HWC staff, and community members celebrated their diligence at the Heartland Worker’s Center while sharing pupusas and pan dulce.
