New on “Ya Tu Sabes”: Reproductive Rights are on the ballot November 8th


The latest "Ya Tu Sabes" episode highlights how women and communities of color are impacted by Republican efforts to strip reproductive rights and to spread disinformation on abortion



Washington, D.C. - Today CHC BOLD PAC – the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus – announced the release of its latest two-segment video for its YouTube Channel “Ya Tu Sabes,” focused on the Republican efforts to pass anti-choice legislation across the country and disinformation on abortion targeting Latino community.

 

In this new episode of Ya Tu Sabes, our host Gaby Fresquez  interviews Gen-Z for Change activist Olivia Julianna, who raised over $2 million for abortion rights this past summer, after being publicly shamed by Republican Matt Gaetz. Olivia discusses the importance of fighting to protect the right to choose.

 

The videos also combat two key pieces of misinformation targeting Latinas: 

 

“While House Democrats have passed the Women’s Health Protection Act which would codify Roe, Republicans continue to push efforts to control a woman's choice about her body. The GOP’s strategy to ban abortion nationwide highlights the need to elect more Democrats to protect a woman’s right to choose and other fundamental liberties that are now in jeopardy,” said BOLD PAC Chairman Rep. Ruben Gallego. “Combating disinformation on abortion targeting Latinas and electing more pro-choice members of Congress is now a patriotic duty, and we will redouble our efforts so that we can have the votes to codify Roe. Democrats will not let this stand.”

 

The new episodes can be found here in English part 1,  part 2 and Spanish. 

 

The Ya Tu Sabes YouTube channel launched earlier this summer and is already being called a game changer. BOLD PAC will continue to release videos from now until election day that entertain, empower and inform nuestra comunidad. 


YA TU SABES


The release of Ya tu Sabes is part of an initiative called “Our Lucha” which is a multi-scope initiative meant to engage Latinos voters across the country ahead of the midterm elections. The launch of Ya Tu Sabes builds on previous digital work by BOLD PAC to combat misinformation targeting Latinos through digital ads holding Republicans accountable for their role in promoting the Big Lie and inciting the January 6th insurrection.   


Ya Tu Sabes (Now You Know) is a new YouTube channel that seeks to educate and inform Latinos with humor and in a culturally competent way. Episodes are in English with shorter summaries in Spanish. Each episode also includes a way for viewers to share the video directly with their networks through WhatsApp. The channel focuses on other important issues including education and guns and will include ads in New Mexico’s 2nd District and Texas’ 15th District.

Nuevo “Ya Tu Sabes”: Los derechos reproductivos están en la boleta electoral este Noviembre 8


El último episodio de "Ya Tu Sabes" destaca cómo las mujeres y las comunidades de color se ven afectadas por los esfuerzos republicanos por despojarles de sus derechos reproductivos y difundir desinformación sobre el aborto.



Washington, D.C. – Hoy, CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso, anunció el lanzamiento de su último video de dos segmentos, para su canal de YouTube "Ya Tu Sabes", el cual se centró en los esfuerzos republicanos por aprobar una legislación contra el derecho a decidir en todo el país y la desinformación sobre el aborto dirigida a la comunidad latina.

 

En este nuevo episodio de Ya Tu Sabes, nuestra presentadora Gaby Fresquez entrevista a la activista Gen-Z for Change, Olivia Julianna, quien recaudó más de $2 millones por el derecho al aborto el verano pasado, luego de ser avergonzada públicamente por el republicano Matt Gaetz. Olivia habla sobre la importancia de luchar para proteger el derecho a elegir.

 

Los videos también combaten dos piezas clave de desinformación dirigidas a las latinas:

 

“Si bien los demócratas de la Cámara de Representantes aprobaron la Ley de Protección de la Salud de la Mujer que codificaría Roe, los republicanos continúan impulsando esfuerzos para controlar las decisiones de la mujer sobre su cuerpo. La estrategia del Partido Republicano para prohibir el aborto en todo el país resalta la necesidad de elegir más demócratas para proteger el derecho de la mujer a elegir y otras libertades fundamentales que ahora están en peligro”, dijo el presidente de BOLD PAC, el representante Rubén Gallego. “Combatir la desinformación sobre el aborto dirigida a las latinas y elegir más miembros del Congreso a favor del aborto es ahora un deber patriótico y redoblaremos nuestros esfuerzos para que podamos tener los votos para codificar Roe. Los demócratas no permitirán que esto se mantenga”.

 

Los nuevos episodios se pueden encontrar aquí en inglés parte 1, parte 2 y en español.

 

YA TU SABES


Ya Tu Sabes es parte de Our Lucha (Nuestra Lucha), una iniciativa de múltiples alcances destinada a motivar a los votantes latinos en todo el país, antes de las elecciones de medio término. El lanzamiento de Ya Tu Sabes también le da seguimiento a la estrategia digital que ha realizado BOLD PAC para combatir la desinformación dirigida a los latinos a través de anuncios digitales, que responsabilizan a los republicanos por su papel en la promoción de la Gran Mentira y por incitar a la insurrección del 6 de enero de 2021. 

 

Ya Tu Sabes, un coloquialismo que significa “Now you know” en inglés, es un nuevo canal de YouTube que educará e informará a los latinos con humor y de una manera culturalmente competente. Los episodios se transmitirán en inglés con resúmenes en español. Cada episodio también incluirá un enlace donde el público puede compartir el video directamente en sus redes sociales y en WhatsApp.  El canal también se enfocará en otros asuntos importantes, como la educación, armas, entre otros temas e incluirá anuncios en el Distrito 2 de Nuevo México y el Distrito 15 de Texas.

Trump doesn’t understand what it’s like to worry about putting food on the table, affording a doctor’s visit, or keeping the lights on. But millions of working families do and they’re the ones feeling the pain of his disastrous agenda. Republicans have made it clear that they stand with Trump’s extreme agenda over our communities. In 2026, voters will hold them accountable." ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

A Marine Corps veteran, single mother, and the daughter of farmworkers, Mendoza embodies the grit and resilience of working families across Arizona. In just 60 days, she raised over $810,000—an impressive display of grassroots strength and undeniable momentum. Mendoza is the candidate to flip this seat and defeat Juan Ciscomani. “JoAnna Mendoza is exactly the kind of leader Washington needs right now – tough, tested, and rooted in community,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “She has served our country with honor, and now she’s answering the call to serve again. Juan Ciscomani has spent his time in Congress pushing a dangerous far-right agenda, siding with MAGA extremists, and putting party loyalty over the needs of Arizonans. JoAnna is a battle-tested Marine and a proven leader who knows what true service means. She has what it takes to flip this seat and fight for Arizona’s working families.” "I’m honored to have the support of BOLD PAC — a powerful voice for Latino representation and working families,” said JoAnna Mendoza . “As a proud Latina, Marine veteran, and native Arizonan, I know what it means to fight for opportunity and equity. In Congress, I'm looking forward to standing with BOLD to deliver for our communities and ensure every family gets a fair shot.” ABOUT JOANNA MENDOZA JoAnna Mendoza is a Marine veteran, dedicated public servant, and single mother who has spent her life fighting for her country and her community. Raised in a rural Arizona farming community, she learned the values of hard work and resilience from an early age. Her family often struggled to make ends meet, relying on safety-net programs, shaping her deep commitment to public service. At 17, JoAnna joined the Marines, where she served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. She became a Drill Instructor, training the next generation of service members. After 20 years of honorable service, she continued her public service as a congressional staffer, a school board member, and a veteran advocate. JoAnna will be a relentless advocate for working families, rural communities, veterans, education, health care, and Arizona’s natural environment.

BOLD PAC Shatters Q1 Fundraising Record, Raises Over $3.2 Million in Push to Take Back the House and Senate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 3, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com BOLD PAC Shatters Q1 Fundraising Record, Raises Over $3.2 Million in Push to Take Back the House and Senate Washington, D.C. - BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, announced today that it raised over $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, marking its strongest Q1 fundraising total ever in an off-year. This record-breaking momentum underscores what Senator Cory Booker and Democrats across the country are saying: the fight to take back the House and Senate is on–and we are fired up. The $3.2 million raised this quarter significantly outpaces BOLD PAC’s Q1 totals in previous off-years. This includes the $2.01 million raised in the first quarter of 2017 when a sea of Democratic energy led the party to flip 43 seats in the House during Donald Trump’s first term. The record-breaking haul underscores how energized and mobilized Democrats are early in the midterm cycle. “Donald Trump is back in the White House, and our communities are already paying the price. He’s damaging our economy, rolling back our rights, threatening our Social Security and Medicare, and doubling down on the same extremist playbook that hurts working families,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “But we’re not backing down. This historic fundraising total shows how fired up the Democratic base is to hold him accountable. BOLD PAC is channeling that energy into action to protect our communities and take back the House and Senate next year.” ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS

By Bold . • March 6, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 05, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS WASHINGTON, D.C. – As President Trump delivered his first speech to a Joint Session of Congress, one fact is clear: his first month in office has done nothing to bring down costs for working families — in fact, he’s hurting their pocketbooks. Instead of fighting to lower prices at the grocery store, reduce the cost of prescription drugs, or lower the costs of housing, Trump has spent his time: Ignoring the spike in egg prices, with the national average hitting $5 in his first month back. Eggs shouldn’t be a luxury. Pressuring Republicans to pass a budget resolution that would cut $2 billion in federal Medicaid funds from each congressional district, gutting health care for 15.9 million Americans . Rolling back an executive order from the Biden administration to lower prescription drug prices to $2. Admitting—twice —that lowering costs and making life more affordable is not his top priority . “Donald Trump promised to help working Americans, but his first month back in the White House has been a disaster for their wallets,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “He’s proving once again that he’s only looking out for himself while Latino families foot the bill. BOLD PAC remains committed to electing leaders who will put working families first. We won’t let Trump’s disastrous policies go unchecked.” CHC BOLD PAC CHC BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by helping more Latinos get elected.
