July 7, 2008
Fundacion Azteca America, the non-profit arm of the Azteca America Network, is teaming up with Voto Latino, an organization dedicated to promoting political awareness, in a national informational and fundraising campaign through its Movimiento Azteca America program.
Azteca America Network will run calls to action on its screen during the week of Aug. 4 -Aug. 10 inviting viewers to visit www.votolatino.org, as well as sending viewers of its web portal www.aztecaamerica.com to www.votolatino.org to encourage voter participation and funding for the non-profit organization Voto Latino.
Movimiento Azteca is one of the most powerful fundraising tools of Fundación Azteca America. Through Fundación Azteca, the foundation’s Mexico-based sister organization, over US$40 million have been raised to assist non-profit organizations that focus on an array of social and environmental causes.
“We’re excited to be able to expand our voter engagement activities in conjunction with Fundación Azteca America’s Movimiento Azteca at this important moment of our nation’s history,” said Maria Teresa Petersen, founding executive director of Voto Latino.
“With three months to go to the Nov. 4 elections, now is the time to mobilize our community toward political participation,” said Luis J. Echarte, Chairman of Fundación Azteca America and Azteca America Network.
