Eva Longoria, Zoe Saldana and America Ferrera get political
Eva Longoria, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Saldana, America Ferrera and Gina Rodriguez took to the streets of Miami, leading hundreds of people while chanting “Si se puede” or “Yes we can” in attempt to rally people to vote ahead of Election Day.
While the actresses were looking to improve voter turnout overall, they were specifically targeting the Latino community on Sunday as they marched down in Little Havana.
“This cause of getting people out to vote is one of the most important things we can do as citizens,” Longoria said in an interview earlier in the day. “It’s our job.”
“We’re not out here as celebrities or actors or our professions,” said Ferrera. “I’m the daughter of immigrants, I am a true blue American, I bleed red white and blue.”
While the actresses are known for their Democratic leanings, they insisted the purpose was to get everyone engaged.
