They launched a platform that seeks to publicize the coalition candidate's project “Let's Keep Making History” and connect all those who are outside the country and are in favor of her proposals.
“One person can only help, but a network of people can transform. Near you there are hundreds of people who want to be part of the transformation and help our Mexico, but they don't know about you, nor do you know about them. That's why we created Claudialízate", to unite communities that want to be part of the history of Mexico, regardless of their place of residence?" says an informative video about the platform.
The initiative under the name ?Claudialízate? It is an action network of Mexicans around the world, which seeks to connect them in order to organize them to support Claudia Sheinbaum.
The platform allows anyone to access the groups and actions that other people organize, and even create their own groups and actions in support of the candidate.
"Claudialize yourself?" It was promoted by a group in the United States called "Red Migrante", who, among other actions, seeks to promote the vote of Mexicans abroad, informs them how to do it and why it is important.
According to the description disseminated on the official website of the initiative, Claudialízate is:
Behind ?Claudialízate? There are citizens, students, artists, businessmen, indigenous leaders, pro-migrant activists, human rights defenders, dreamers, among others.
