SEIU/iAmerica Action invests millions in national TV ad reaching Spanish-language voters, who have the

For more than a year, Latino families have heard Donald Trump promise to build a wall. Their response: no, #SomosElMuro – we are the wall that will keep you out of the White House.

A powerful new ad from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)/iAmerica Action, standing with working families, ends with a signature visual: dozens of Latinos linking arms in front of the White House, sending a message: we have the power to defeat you.

The Spanish-language ads begin airing today, hours before the final presidential debate in Las Vegas is likely to focus on immigration. They are running on broadcast television in Miami, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando and Fort Myers in Florida and Las Vegas and Reno in Nevada as well as on Univision, Telemundo, Estrella and MundoMax on national cable. They are part of a continuing $3 million investment by SEIU/iAmerica Action, in partnership with Priorities USA that began earlier this month.

“Tenemos 27 miliones de votos. Y juntos somos el muro entre tu y la presidencia,” the ad concludes. “We have 27 million votes. And together, we are the wall between you and the presidency.”

“No, Donald Trump, you won’t build your wall,” said SEIU International Executive Vice President Rocio Sáenz, “because we are the wall between your hate, your disrespect, your insults and the presidency.”
