As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

That’s why one of the questions was picked from an online poll — no, it wasn’t scientific — done by KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio. First, we asked for questions that you wanted us to ask. Three topics emerged as the most popular: the Affordable Care Act, foreign policy and the environment. Then we let you vote online.

(If you didn’t know, KPBS is based on the SDSU campus.) We want to get these millennials engaged in the election, given that turnout among voters under 24 in the June 2014 primary was abysmal — \u003ca href=\"http://explore.regionalchange.ucdavis.edu/ourwork/projects/ccep/ucdavisyouthvotebrief8\">3.7 percent in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s this Facebook Live pre-debate show?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is our way of getting the debate fun started early. Before the show, KPBS — with help from our partners at KPCC and KQED — will host a Facebook live stream starting around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. KPBS anchor Maya Trabulsi will take Facebook viewers around the station and into the studio to catch some of the action before the candidates arrive on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, she’ll talk to some of the SDSU students and give them a pop quiz on politics.

The environment won, so the candidates can expect a climate change question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another question will come from the studio audience, which will largely be made up of students from \u003ca href=\"http://www.sdsu.edu\">San Diego State University\u003c/a>. (If you didn’t know, KPBS is based on the SDSU campus.) We want to get these millennials engaged in the election, given that turnout among voters under 24 in the June 2014 primary was abysmal — \u003ca href=\"http://explore.regionalchange.ucdavis.edu/ourwork/projects/ccep/ucdavisyouthvotebrief8\">3.7 percent in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s this Facebook Live pre-debate show?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is our way of getting the debate fun started early. Before the show, KPBS — with help from our partners at KPCC and KQED — will host a Facebook live stream starting around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. KPBS anchor Maya Trabulsi will take Facebook viewers around the station and into the studio to catch some of the action before the candidates arrive on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, she’ll talk to some of the SDSU students and give them a pop quiz on politics. (She needs to go easy on them. This is finals week on campus, after all.)

"content": "\u003cp>WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, only one candidate has any experience in Congress, and that’s Democratic Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez. But in a recent Senate debate, Sanchez denied she’s the insider. She said she’s not the status quo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In fact,” she says, “Washington hasn’t changed me. I've been changing Congress for 20 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might say Loretta Sanchez began training for her current role early in life. Her sister, Linda, also a California congresswoman, says the younger kids in the family called her “the warden.” She says when they got chore assignments, “Loretta was sort of the supervisor that went around to make sure that we were doing them correctly and reported back to our parents if we were not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/262622181\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Loretta Sanchez \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8_8oBWOR7Y\">oversees defense spending and policy\u003c/a> on the House Armed Services Committee. Despite the serious issues she deals with, the media seem fascinated by her annual Christmas cards -- playful pictures of her posing with cat Gretzky atop a fireplace mantle or astride a motorcycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez complains that the media rarely seem to show up at six-hour meetings that “we have on trying to figure out how much we’re going to spend and whether we’re going to redo our nuclear arsenal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"EnffKvBlDmo2Bl6z2Sv1j9Z91ioLPrzj\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the recent Senate debate in Stockton, Duf Sundheim, one of her Republican opponents, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article74093782.html\">accused Sanchez of skipping a lot of committee meetings\u003c/a>. Sanchez countered that she -- like the rest of Congress -- serves on multiple committees and can’t be in two places at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republicans back her up on that. The recently retired GOP chairman of Armed Services, Rep. Buck McKeon, says everyone is on two or three subcommittees and on several full committees, all with hearings, bill markups and votes. “It’s not easy to get there for everything,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Critics Difficult to Find in D.C.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding Sanchez critics of either party is difficult on Capitol Hill. Among Democrats in the California delegation, 17 have endorsed Sanchez -- most of them from Southern California. Eight House Democrats from California have endorsed state Attorney General Kamala Harris, most of them from the Bay Area. Democrats who haven’t endorsed Sanchez declined to speak on tape. House Republicans were similarly silent on Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not Rep. Mike Turner. The Ohio Republican chairs Tactical Air and Land Forces, the subcommittee that oversees procurement of everything except ships. Sanchez is the top Democrat on that subcommittee. Turner calls Sanchez’ work “highly substantive.” He says Sanchez works to get “the right answer.” He says even if they come to different conclusions about testimony, he benefits from “her research, her inquisitiveness, her oversight” of the Defense Department. The two work so well together across the aisle that when Turner switched subcommittees, Democratic leaders asked Sanchez to switch, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10946241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10946241\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/SanchezOdierno-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"Loretta Sanchez talks with Army Chief of Staff Gen.

Raymond Odierno before a hearing about the FY2016 National Defense Authorization Budget Request on Capitol Hill on March 17, 2015. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite serving on Armed Services since she first came to Congress -- back when it was called “the Committee on National Security” -- Sanchez voted against authorizing the war in Iraq in 2002. She pushed the Pentagon to allow women to participate in combat. When you ask Sanchez which bills she can claim as her own, she talks about getting funding for a water reclamation plant in her district and oversight of the Pentagon. Most of all, she speaks about collaboration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t worry about the credit, you get a lot more done,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to collaborate when you’re not in charge. Marc Sandalow, associate academic director of the UC Washington Center, says there was a short window when Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act and Dodd/Frank banking reforms -- the four years when Nancy Pelosi was speaker and Democrats controlled the House. Virtually the entire time Loretta Sanchez has been in the House, she’s been in the minority. “Minority members do not get a chance to bring bills to the floor,” he says. “Republicans won’t let them do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting Over the ‘Appearance Hump’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why the perception of Sanchez being somewhat flaky? Sandalow says to blame D.C. because Washington remains a very buttoned-down, uptight place. “The kind of place where if you head to certain restaurants, and you’re not wearing a tie,” he says, “they hand you a tie to put on to make sure it’s appropriate. Loretta Sanchez is not part of that culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How buttoned up? Sister Linda Sanchez remembers the day she was wearing a pair of what she described as “cool shoes” -- strappy stilettos decorated with studs. The buzzer rang for votes, and one of her staff stopped her as she was running out the door. “She said, ‘You’re going to the floor in those shoes?’ And I looked at her and I said, ‘Yeah, I’m from California, damn straight I am.’ And she was just shocked. And down I went to the floor to vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Sanchez says that with a Congress that’s just 20 percent female, to be taken seriously, you have to get over the “appearance hump.” She says if a woman came to the floor with hair askew -- like, say, Sen. Bernie Sanders -- no one would listen to what she had to say. The only thing they’d remember was what she looked like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says there’s another layer of misperception for Latina members of Congress, based on old stereotypes that Latinas are “spicy or hot. And it’s really hard to overcome those preconceived ideas or those perceptions that get perpetuated that begin on a false note.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loretta Sanchez doesn’t always help herself. Her comments after the San Bernardino terrorist attack \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pc-loretta-sanchez-comment-muslims-20151211-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">upset many Muslim-Americans\u003c/a>. She also \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article21200154.html\" target=\"_blank\">offended Native Americans\u003c/a> during an incident that went viral on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez describes herself as substantive, but with a sense of humor. “Sometimes people see that and they say, 'Oh, my gosh, can I take her seriously?' And the answer is, ask my colleagues. They’ll tell you I’m extremely serious about my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez will find out how seriously voters take her on June 7. Under the state’s primary rules, the top two finishers face off in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

Barbara Boxer, only one candidate has any experience in Congress, and that’s Democratic Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez. But in a recent Senate debate, Sanchez denied she’s the insider. She said she’s not the status quo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In fact,” she says, “Washington hasn’t changed me. I've been changing Congress for 20 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might say Loretta Sanchez began training for her current role early in life. Her sister, Linda, also a California congresswoman, says the younger kids in the family called her “the warden.” She says when they got chore assignments, “Loretta was sort of the supervisor that went around to make sure that we were doing them correctly and reported back to our parents if we were not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/262622181&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/262622181'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Loretta Sanchez \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8_8oBWOR7Y\">oversees defense spending and policy\u003c/a> on the House Armed Services Committee.

Sanchez countered that she -- like the rest of Congress -- serves on multiple committees and can’t be in two places at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republicans back her up on that. The recently retired GOP chairman of Armed Services, Rep. Buck McKeon, says everyone is on two or three subcommittees and on several full committees, all with hearings, bill markups and votes. “It’s not easy to get there for everything,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Critics Difficult to Find in D.C.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding Sanchez critics of either party is difficult on Capitol Hill. Among Democrats in the California delegation, 17 have endorsed Sanchez -- most of them from Southern California. Eight House Democrats from California have endorsed state Attorney General Kamala Harris, most of them from the Bay Area. Democrats who haven’t endorsed Sanchez declined to speak on tape. House Republicans were similarly silent on Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not Rep. Mike Turner. The Ohio Republican chairs Tactical Air and Land Forces, the subcommittee that oversees procurement of everything except ships. Sanchez is the top Democrat on that subcommittee. Turner calls Sanchez’ work “highly substantive.” He says Sanchez works to get “the right answer.” He says even if they come to different conclusions about testimony, he benefits from “her research, her inquisitiveness, her oversight” of the Defense Department. The two work so well together across the aisle that when Turner switched subcommittees, Democratic leaders asked Sanchez to switch, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10946241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10946241\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/SanchezOdierno-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"Loretta Sanchez talks with Army Chief of Staff Gen.

Raymond Odierno before a hearing about the FY2016 National Defense Authorization Budget Request on Capitol Hill on March 17, 2015. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite serving on Armed Services since she first came to Congress -- back when it was called “the Committee on National Security” -- Sanchez voted against authorizing the war in Iraq in 2002. She pushed the Pentagon to allow women to participate in combat. When you ask Sanchez which bills she can claim as her own, she talks about getting funding for a water reclamation plant in her district and oversight of the Pentagon. Most of all, she speaks about collaboration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t worry about the credit, you get a lot more done,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to collaborate when you’re not in charge. Marc Sandalow, associate academic director of the UC Washington Center, says there was a short window when Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act and Dodd/Frank banking reforms -- the four years when Nancy Pelosi was speaker and Democrats controlled the House. Virtually the entire time Loretta Sanchez has been in the House, she’s been in the minority. “Minority members do not get a chance to bring bills to the floor,” he says. “Republicans won’t let them do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting Over the ‘Appearance Hump’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why the perception of Sanchez being somewhat flaky? Sandalow says to blame D.C. because Washington remains a very buttoned-down, uptight place. “The kind of place where if you head to certain restaurants, and you’re not wearing a tie,” he says, “they hand you a tie to put on to make sure it’s appropriate. Loretta Sanchez is not part of that culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How buttoned up? Sister Linda Sanchez remembers the day she was wearing a pair of what she described as “cool shoes” -- strappy stilettos decorated with studs. The buzzer rang for votes, and one of her staff stopped her as she was running out the door. “She said, ‘You’re going to the floor in those shoes?’ And I looked at her and I said, ‘Yeah, I’m from California, damn straight I am.’ And she was just shocked. And down I went to the floor to vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Sanchez says that with a Congress that’s just 20 percent female, to be taken seriously, you have to get over the “appearance hump.” She says if a woman came to the floor with hair askew -- like, say, Sen. Bernie Sanders -- no one would listen to what she had to say. The only thing they’d remember was what she looked like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says there’s another layer of misperception for Latina members of Congress, based on old stereotypes that Latinas are “spicy or hot. And it’s really hard to overcome those preconceived ideas or those perceptions that get perpetuated that begin on a false note.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loretta Sanchez doesn’t always help herself. Her comments after the San Bernardino terrorist attack \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pc-loretta-sanchez-comment-muslims-20151211-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">upset many Muslim-Americans\u003c/a>. She also \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article21200154.html\" target=\"_blank\">offended Native Americans\u003c/a> during an incident that went viral on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez describes herself as substantive, but with a sense of humor. “Sometimes people see that and they say, 'Oh, my gosh, can I take her seriously?' And the answer is, ask my colleagues. They’ll tell you I’m extremely serious about my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez will find out how seriously voters take her on June 7. Under the state’s primary rules, the top two finishers face off in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

"content": "\u003cp>A fledgling voter project aims to bring two groups together for the November election. The idea is to pair nonvoters who can't cast ballots with people who can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to match up a U.S. citizen with someone who is, unfortunately, not able to go on Election Day and participate,\" said Francisco Medina, 30, a Huntington Park resident and one of the organizers of a project called \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/voteallies/\">Vote Allies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/261334170\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina’s name may ring a bell. He made headlines last summer as one of two men without legal resident status who were \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/08/17/53827/as-huntington-park-goes-does-southern-california/\">appointed to city commissions in Huntington Park\u003c/a> in Southern California. The appointments drew mixed reaction -- criticism, support and the observation that the appointments amounted to another sign of how immigrants without legal status are integrating into California society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vote Allies is taking shape as the U.S. Supreme Court on April 4 upheld the long-standing practice of drawing up legislative districts based on total population rather than on just those who are eligible to vote as citizens. Blue states like California, with large numbers of residents illegally in the country, could have seen a political shift favoring Republicans had the decision gone the other way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina and fellow activist Brett Shears held their first public meeting in March to sign up participants in Vote Allies. Among those they're enlisting are U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote, in one group, and in the other, people who can't vote: noncitizen legal residents, immigrants without legal status or citizens precluded from voting because of a past felony offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/161555298\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those who signed up to participate is 40-year-old Gabriel Zamora. He's active in his janitors union and has volunteered in campaigns for state and local candidates, canvassing neighborhoods and knocking on doors to urge people to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora himself can’t vote. While he has helped others fill out naturalization forms and apply for U.S. citizenship, he's not eligible to fill out his own application because he does not live in the country legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora said in Spanish that he'd like to become a legal resident but he doesn't qualify for any programs that would help him gain citizenship. Nonetheless, he remains civic-minded and active in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that fulfills me,\" said Zamora, who lives in South Los Angeles. He remembers he was similarly engaged in his native Mexico. \"It makes me feel useful to society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few blocks from Zamora’s house down Arlington Avenue, 34-year-old artist Jack Bangerter lives in his studio. He’s a U.S. citizen, raised in Idaho, and can vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter said his voting has been largely consistent; he has cast ballots in most major elections. But \"sometimes I haven’t voted,\" he admits. \"I’m out of the country or something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter has never met Zamora, but they might soon. Organizers of Vote Allies said they'd like to pair up people who live near one another, people who know one another in some other way, or willing relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are going to participate in this voting process together. We're going to have them educate each other about their issues. We're going to have them educate each other about the process,\" said Shears, a recent University of Southern California public policy graduate who teamed up with Medina to reach immigrants who might participate in the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, there’s nothing illegal about U.S. citizens who can vote and immigrants who can't sharing their political thoughts ahead of the election. If they find common ground on candidates and issues, they could \"share\" a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for some, the idea of people without legal status getting involved in any part of the political process just doesn’t sit right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It matters greatly, if we take the notion of citizenship and sovereignty seriously, that those who are citizens are the ones informing their government, and those who are not citizens -- that are here as visitors -- don’t have any more say about how to run the household than a guest you might have overnight at your house,” said John Eastman, who teaches constitutional law at Chapman University in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where people like Francisco Medina beg to differ. Medina has lived in the U.S. since he was 16. He's been volunteering in his community since he was in his 20s, and he doesn’t see himself as a guest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my country, this is my community, this is where I live,\" Medina said. \"I’m not going anywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same goes for Stephanie Martinez, who has also signed up for the voting project. The 23-year-old college student from Huntington Park can live and work in the U.S. legally through \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\">\"deferred action,\"\u003c/a> the federal program that shields some young immigrants from deportation. But she still can’t vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To work with someone and say, 'You know what? Let’s work together, learn together, and on my behalf, if you don’t want to vote for yourself, do it for me.' I feel like that is something really motivating,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Medina, Martinez also volunteers in her community. She's studying early childhood education, and spends time without pay helping in local elementary school classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I guess, being able to know what it was like to struggle in a new language, I like to help other students who are in the same situation,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civic involvement among immigrants who don't have legal status isn't new, said Manuel Pastor, a sociologist who co-directs USC's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration. Immigrants participate in their children's schools and on neighborhood councils, which don't require members to be citizens or legal residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastor sees the voting project as a natural outgrowth of this, allowing people who are otherwise engaged to find a way to \"vote\" symbolically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It allows people with a lot of skin in the game in this country a way to get a voice by essentially relying on somebody else to be their voice,\" Pastor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also likes the notion of building ties between noncitizens and citizens. \"Those one-on-one ties are incredibly important, because when you humanize the situation of undocumented people, empathies turn into political change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter, the South L.A. artist, isn't sure yet who he'll be paired up with and he isn't sure they'll agree on everything, but he's game to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've got tons of people who vote without knowledge, and tons of people who don't vote at all. So if people are active, I think it's great,\" Bangerter said. \"And it seems like fun to get to know people like that, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for those who can vote but don't, Zamora has a few words for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to vote,\" Zamora said in his native language. \"It’s not only a right, it’s an obligation. We have the advantage of living in a democratic country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does voting mean to you?

Among those they're enlisting are U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote, in one group, and in the other, people who can't vote: noncitizen legal residents, immigrants without legal status or citizens precluded from voting because of a past felony offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/161555298\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those who signed up to participate is 40-year-old Gabriel Zamora. He's active in his janitors union and has volunteered in campaigns for state and local candidates, canvassing neighborhoods and knocking on doors to urge people to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora himself can’t vote. While he has helped others fill out naturalization forms and apply for U.S. citizenship, he's not eligible to fill out his own application because he does not live in the country legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zamora said in Spanish that he'd like to become a legal resident but he doesn't qualify for any programs that would help him gain citizenship. Nonetheless, he remains civic-minded and active in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that fulfills me,\" said Zamora, who lives in South Los Angeles. He remembers he was similarly engaged in his native Mexico. \"It makes me feel useful to society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few blocks from Zamora’s house down Arlington Avenue, 34-year-old artist Jack Bangerter lives in his studio. He’s a U.S. citizen, raised in Idaho, and can vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter said his voting has been largely consistent; he has cast ballots in most major elections. But \"sometimes I haven’t voted,\" he admits. \"I’m out of the country or something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter has never met Zamora, but they might soon. Organizers of Vote Allies said they'd like to pair up people who live near one another, people who know one another in some other way, or willing relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are going to participate in this voting process together. We're going to have them educate each other about their issues. We're going to have them educate each other about the process,\" said Shears, a recent University of Southern California public policy graduate who teamed up with Medina to reach immigrants who might participate in the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, there’s nothing illegal about U.S. citizens who can vote and immigrants who can't sharing their political thoughts ahead of the election. If they find common ground on candidates and issues, they could \"share\" a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for some, the idea of people without legal status getting involved in any part of the political process just doesn’t sit right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It matters greatly, if we take the notion of citizenship and sovereignty seriously, that those who are citizens are the ones informing their government, and those who are not citizens -- that are here as visitors -- don’t have any more say about how to run the household than a guest you might have overnight at your house,” said John Eastman, who teaches constitutional law at Chapman University in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where people like Francisco Medina beg to differ. Medina has lived in the U.S. since he was 16. He's been volunteering in his community since he was in his 20s, and he doesn’t see himself as a guest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my country, this is my community, this is where I live,\" Medina said. \"I’m not going anywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same goes for Stephanie Martinez, who has also signed up for the voting project. The 23-year-old college student from Huntington Park can live and work in the U.S. legally through \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\">\"deferred action,\"\u003c/a> the federal program that shields some young immigrants from deportation. But she still can’t vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To work with someone and say, 'You know what? Let’s work together, learn together, and on my behalf, if you don’t want to vote for yourself, do it for me.' I feel like that is something really motivating,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Medina, Martinez also volunteers in her community. She's studying early childhood education, and spends time without pay helping in local elementary school classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I guess, being able to know what it was like to struggle in a new language, I like to help other students who are in the same situation,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civic involvement among immigrants who don't have legal status isn't new, said Manuel Pastor, a sociologist who co-directs USC's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration. Immigrants participate in their children's schools and on neighborhood councils, which don't require members to be citizens or legal residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastor sees the voting project as a natural outgrowth of this, allowing people who are otherwise engaged to find a way to \"vote\" symbolically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It allows people with a lot of skin in the game in this country a way to get a voice by essentially relying on somebody else to be their voice,\" Pastor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also likes the notion of building ties between noncitizens and citizens. \"Those one-on-one ties are incredibly important, because when you humanize the situation of undocumented people, empathies turn into political change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bangerter, the South L.A. artist, isn't sure yet who he'll be paired up with and he isn't sure they'll agree on everything, but he's game to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've got tons of people who vote without knowledge, and tons of people who don't vote at all. So if people are active, I think it's great,\" Bangerter said. \"And it seems like fun to get to know people like that, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for those who can vote but don't, Zamora has a few words for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to vote,\" Zamora said in his native language. \"It’s not only a right, it’s an obligation. We have the advantage of living in a democratic country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does voting mean to you?

The mayor says she can tell by Cassandra’s body language that she might be interested in registering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a surprise to me, because all the times I’ve talked to Cassandra over the last few months, she didn’t seem like voting was even on her radar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she tells me that after our interview, she started paying closer attention to the presidential race.

You have Ted Cruz, a Latino,” Amy says. “Then you have Donald Trump and Bernie. So now you have a different combination. Now it caught my attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What if I voted for Hillary, what would she do for me, as a woman? What if I elect Ted Cruz? What would he do for Latinos? It’s just more the presidential election having all this different variety now.

And a statewide public radio audience waiting to find out if you’ll cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Amy says she’s made up her mind on her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I will vote this time. Not only for me, not only for my family, but you know, for the community of Lindsay, for those who don’t vote,” says Amy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can count on me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so happy to hear that, and you just make my heart swell,” says Padilla, who gives Amy a high-five and then takes a round of selfies with all the girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramona Padilla says she hopes that she can work herself out of a job and open up a space for young Latinas like Amy and Cassandra on the City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope you could become Latina mayors someday, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the first step is to make sure these young voters make it to Lindsay’s one polling place in June, or remember to send their ballot in by mail, on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

The mayor says she can tell by Cassandra’s body language that she might be interested in registering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a surprise to me, because all the times I’ve talked to Cassandra over the last few months, she didn’t seem like voting was even on her radar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she tells me that after our interview, she started paying closer attention to the presidential race.

You have Ted Cruz, a Latino,” Amy says. “Then you have Donald Trump and Bernie. So now you have a different combination. Now it caught my attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What if I voted for Hillary, what would she do for me, as a woman? What if I elect Ted Cruz? What would he do for Latinos? It’s just more the presidential election having all this different variety now.

And a statewide public radio audience waiting to find out if you’ll cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Amy says she’s made up her mind on her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I will vote this time.
