Today, People For the American Way (PFAW) launched a new Spanish-language ad as part of its new campaign, “Donald Trump’s Year of Hate.” Today marks the one year anniversary of Trump’s campaign launch.

“One year ago, Donald Trump went down that escalator to declare his candidacy and declare his war on Latinos,” said People For the American Way Director of Latinos Vote! and Manager of Political Campaigns Lizet Ocampo. “Our campaign highlights just some of the ways Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric and policies hurt Latino communities and all Americans, and it urges people to stop Donald Trump’s hate by registering to vote and casting their ballots against him in November.”

The Spanish-language ad announced today will run on TV in Nevada and Virginia, and on digital platforms in Nevada, Virginia, Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Watch the ad, in Spanish, here.
