On October 10th, 2024, the Latino community in Cleveland will have the opportunity to participate in an event that promises to mark a turning point in the local electoral landscape: “Candidates Night.” This free event will take place at La Sagrada Familia Church, located at 7719 Detroit Avenue, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, and is designed to highlight the importance of the Latino vote in the upcoming elections.
Organized with the goal of bringing candidates closer to Hispanic voters, “Candidates Night” will be a unique occasion to hear directly from political hopefuls as they present their platforms. Through speeches, the candidates will address crucial issues for the community, such as education, safety, healthcare access, and immigrant rights—key elements that affect the day-to-day lives of Latinos in Cleveland and surrounding areas.
In addition to the opportunity to interact and ask questions to the candidates, attendees will enjoy an immersive experience with a distinctly Hispanic flair. There will be free coffee, pastries, and flan, along with lively music to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The event will not only serve as a platform for candidates to introduce themselves but also as a space where Latinos can unite and discuss the issues that affect them the most. With a growing and increasingly influential population, the Latino vote has proven to be crucial in recent elections, and events like this highlight the importance of staying informed and active in local politics.
A significant turnout from the Hispanic community is expected, as these types of gatherings allow attendees not only to get to know future political leaders but also to strengthen bonds within the community. In an era where every vote counts, “Candidates Night” offers the opportunity to make more informed decisions at the polls.
Don’t miss the chance to be part of this event, which promises to be a meeting point for local politics and the Latino community. We look forward to seeing you on October 10th to make your voice heard!
