SEIU/iAmerica Action’s $3 million buy delivers key message in Spanish to voters in Florida, Nevada: Hillary Clinton respects us
To an aspiring teacher, and to a mom and dad reading to their toddler, Donald Trump’s words hurt.
“Donald Trump está trayendo odio, división... y una falta de respeto dentro de nuestros hogares.” “Donald Trump is bringing hate, divisiveness and disrespect into our homes.” That’s the sentiment underscored by two new television ads that contrast the love and optimism of Latino families with what Trump has said about them during his racist campaign.
The Spanish-language ads, which begin running today in Miami, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando and Fort Myers in Florida and Las Vegas and Reno in Nevada, hold Trump accountable for the words he has used. They are the first multi-state television ads this fall from SEIU/iAmerica Action, in partnership with Priorities USA. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), standing with Latino workers and families, says the spots are part of a $3 million television campaign that will continue as October unfolds. The spots will eventually run on nationwide Spanish-language television.
“Hillary Clinton respects us, and as the young man Uriel says in the ad, Donald Trump doesn’t know us,” said Rocio Sáenz, an international executive vice president at SEIU. “These ads remind all of us that so much is at stake for Latino families and for our dreams – and that we have the power to make the difference and stop Trump in Florida and Nevada.”
The spot that will air in Florida is called “Homes.” It shows a peaceful home, happy parents and a beautiful child — and projects onto the walls some of the harmful things Trump has said. “Juntos, podemos detener a Donald Trump. Y apoyar a Hillary Clinton porque ella nos entiende y nos respeta,” the ad concludes. “Together, we can stand up to Donald Trump. And stand with Hillary Clinton, because she understands and respects us.” Click here to watch the ad.
The ad that will air in Nevada is called “Uriel” and features a young Henderson, Nev., man, Uriel Garcia-Escudero, whose father was assassinated in Juarez, Mexico and who came to America with his mother for a better life. “Solamente me falta un año para obtener mi licencia de maestro, que era mi sueño más grande.” “I just have one year to go to get my teaching license, which was my greatest dream,” he says, adding, “(Trump) no nos conoce. No sabe quiénes somos. Nuestra comunidad nunca había sido tan amenazada.” “(Trump) doesn’t know us. He doesn’t know who we are. Our community has never been so threatened.” Click here to watch the ad. Find transcripts and translations below.
