CAFe Accion Civic Engagement Program for the 2022 Midterm Elections

CAFe Accion (and our sister 501c3 NM CAFe) kicked off a robust civic engagement program over a period of 3 months in partnership with Equis.

CAFe Accion knocked on 177,833 doors, had 8,697 conversations, and phone banked 20,534 people in Doña Ana County.

This resulted in 3,123 new Hispanic voters in Doña Ana County – who voted early. 

In addition to the civic engagement program, CAFe Accion also put on a celebratory event: ‘¡Gentefest! 2022 Las Cruces’. Which celebrated and emphasized Latino community political influence and cultural power. Emphasizing the right to vote and urging people to vote before or on election day was crucial to the 2022 midterm election cycle. Bands such as Conjunto 4 Norte and La Conquistadora Banda performed for a crowd of over 1,000 people in the Las Cruces Downtown Plaza.
