WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.

Today The World brings you a special episode on the political power of Latino youth, one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in the United States. Approximately every 30 seconds, a Latino in the US turns 18 and becomes eligible to vote. The World has been talking to Latino voters all year. In this episode, hear how Trump has alienated many Latinos with his anti-immigrant rhetoric — but a sizable bloc still supports him. And, Latinos have been disproportionately affected by climate change. Plus, hear how three young Latinos are getting ready to vote.
