Featured Campaign:

Dreamers' Campaign for INE Credential

Registration
Are you an immigrant of Mexican-origin currently living in the
United States? Did you know that you can get an INE Voting I.D.
for FREE?

The CMSC and the California-Mexico Dreamers' Network (CMDNet)

launched the Dreamers' Campaign for INE Voting I.D. Registration, in
an effort to help Mexican-born Dreamers and their families obtain an
INE Voting I.D. (Credencial de Elector) as a civic education and
engagement project, and to promote voting rights of all Mexicans living
in the U.S. to increase their participation in Mexico's 2018 Presidential
and Mexico City's Jefe de Gobierno.

Help us spread the word by sharing our campaign flyers and the
following instructions manual so that more Mexican citizens living in the
U.S. can register for an INE I.D. card and vote in the upcoming
presidential elections in Mexico.
