Event: Mexican Independence Day at the Plaza FiestaDate: Sunday September 12th, 2010Objective: To get the word out of Orale! and encourage voter participation.
Mexican Independence Day
Over 80,000 people showed up to this outside Free Festival. Bronco who is a very famous Mexican Band played at the event. Mayor Kasim Reed was on Stage for a special announcement of support. Ivan and Rudy passed out a heavy amount of the Orale campaign flyers and we spoke to anyone that would listen. Great Event but we learned it was not easy finding a person who was documented and that could vote….so we encouraged many to visit the website and to spread the word of supporting our community.
