Campaign calls on Hispanic Americans in Maryland to cast their votes: "We're not invisible"

BALTIMORE -- A new campaign by Maryland Latinos Unidos is letting Hispanic and Latino Americans know that their voice and vote matter in this upcoming election.

"We're not invisible," said Dr. Gabriela Lemus, the Executive Director of Maryland Latinos Unidos. "We're part of this beautiful fabric that is Maryland and we're going to participate and be a part of it."

The Hispanic and Latino populations in Maryland have grown significantly, now representing nearly 12% of the state's population. In Baltimore City, those populations have grown from 4% to 8% since the last census.
