MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Ismael Luna’s campaign for Wisconsin State Assembly announced today its endorsement from Voces de la Frontera Action, Wisconsin’s leading immigrant and worker rights organization, adding a powerful voice to a growing coalition behind the candidate who has been the race’s strongest advocate for Milwaukee’s immigrant community.
“I’m deeply honored to have the endorsement of Voces de la Frontera Action. This organization shaped who I am. As a student at Riverside High School, I was a member of the Youth Empowered in the Struggle chapter and fought for justice for immigrant communities,” said Luna.
“Right now, our community is under attack. Families are afraid to leave their homes, and children are living in fear. I’m the only candidate in this race calling for ICE out of Milwaukee. Our neighbors deserve leaders who will stand with them without hesitation, not make excuses for the agents tearing our families apart.”
“As the son of an immigrant family, I will never stop fighting for the dignity, safety, and freedom of our immigrant community. That means standing with our mixed-status families, protecting DACA recipients, and making sure every neighbor, regardless of status, can live and thrive without fear. Together, we keep each other safe.”
According to its website, Voces de la Frontera Action is Wisconsin’s most expansive statewide immigrant, worker, and BIPOC political engagement network, advancing immigrant and workers’ rights through grassroots organizing and civic action. The organization proudly endorses candidates who are fiercely committed to defending the rights of immigrants and workers, standing shoulder to shoulder with communities in the fight for Driver’s Licenses for All, the elimination of 287(g) programs across Wisconsin, an end to local law enforcement collaboration with ICE, and stronger protections through judicial oversight for immigration actions.
Voces de la Frontera Action joins a broad coalition backing Ismael Luna, including Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council (LiUNA), SEIU Wisconsin, UFCW Local 1473, Citizen Action of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Progress, Wisconsin Conservation Voters, Wisconsin Working Families Party, Fair Wisconsin, LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, and Run for Something. His endorsements also include Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, Milwaukee Alderperson and former State Representative JoCasta Zamarripa, State Representative Priscilla Prado, and Milwaukee public safety leader Aaron Lipski.
