The cavalry begins to arrive for Hillary: National SEIU tries to drive turnout in Nevada

SEIU is going up Monday with Spanish-language radio and television ads in Nevada to support Hillary Clinton just days before Saturday's Democratic caucus.

The union has been on the ground already in the state, claiming to have knocked on over 36,000 doors, identified more than 9,000 Clinton caucus goers and mobilized 55 precinct captains who are first-time caucusgoers.

The ads, which you can see below, will air in Las Vegas, along with print ads in Spanish-language publications. One of the TV spots features perhaps the country's best-known DREAMer, Astrid Silva.

Clinton hopes her union support -- she held a rally with labor organizations this past weekend -- and her organizational strength will blunt Bernie Sanders' momentum from New Hampshire.

They call her names

She doesn't quit

 

They call us names

We don't quit

 

She doesn't quit

And we don't quit

Because some things are more important

 

And until we have a fair minimum wage and access to care for our children and our parents

 

She will never stop fighting

 

Our fighter, our defender, our champion

 

Our president

 

Hillary Clinton

Taimi to camera: The Nevada caucus is this Saturday, February 20th and a large number of Latino voters are expected to take part. It’s easier than you think.  Simply look for the caucus location in your neighborhood, go there, and participate!

 

Astrid to camera: I’m a DREAMer.  I don’t have the right to vote, and that’s why it’s so important that those who are U.S. citizens participate in the Caucus, to help improve the lives of ALL our families.

 

Taimi to camera: Here are the 5 things you need to know to be able to caucus: 

1.  It’s easy.

2. You have to be a U.S. Citizen

3. You don’t have to be registered to vote before the day of the Caucus; you can do that when you get there.

4.  Caucusing starts at noon but you have to show up before 11:00 to participate. You can go online to find your caucus location atnvdems.com/caucus/ locations.  (website will also be shown on the screen)

5.  Once you arrive at your caucus location and sign in, all you have to do is go stand with people who think like you do. It’s that easy.

 

Astrid to camera: If I could caucus this Saturday, I would stand with Hillary Clinton, because she’s ready to win the fights for our families.  Hillary has always fought alongside us–she’s our champion.  So go make your voice heardthis Saturday. And Caucus for Hillary!
