TelevisaUnivision and We Are All Human Foundation Partner with Brazilian Fashion Designer Anne Fontaine on Custom Gown Inspired by the Power of the Hispanic Community
Miami, Fl. July 26, 2024 — TelevisaUnivision, the world’s leading Spanish-language media company, partnered with We Are All Human Foundation’s Hispanic Star and famed Brazilian fashion designer Anne Fontaine to create a one-of-a-kind dress inspired by the power of the Hispanic electorate in this historic 2024 Election. As part of TelevisaUnivision’s Vota Conmigo Campaign, its non-partisan multi-platform campaign aimed to motivate U.S. Hispanics to participate in the electoral process, Univision news anchor Carolina Peguero debuted the custom gown at Premios Juventud in San Juan, Puerto Rico on July 25.
“We are bullish in advancing the mission of Vota Conmigo and this collaboration celebrates and amplifies the major influence Hispanics will have in determining the outcomes of the election cycle – at the national, state and local level,” said Teri Arvesu, SVP of Social Impact and Sustainability at TelevisaUnivision. “Anne Fontaine’s custom design radiates the vibrance of the Hispanic community and we couldn’t think of a better moment than Premios Juventud to unite with our partners at We Are All Human Foundation and ensure young Hispanics recognize their importance.”
"Our mission is to unify and elevate the Hispanic community,” said Claudia Romo Edelman, Founder and CEO of the We Are All Human Foundation. “This partnership with Anne Fontaine and TelevisaUnivision is a powerful statement of our collective strength and influence. By encouraging voter participation, we empower Latinos to make a lasting impact on the future of our country. For Latinos and with Latinos, everything is possible."
"This dress and collaboration symbolize not only our femininity but also the strength of our community,” said Anne Fontaine. “ing to vote and being part of the decisions that impact Hispanics in the United States is crucial. This initiative exemplifies a united Latino community, and I'm proud of its success."
The Hispanic vote will be the Majority Maker vote in the 2024 Presidential elections, as the number of Hispanic ed voters far outweighs the margin of victory of the 2020 Presidential election in all key swing states. An estimated 36.2 million Hispanics are eligible to vote this year, up from 32.3 million in 2020, according to the Pew Research Center, and latest research from L2 shows Hispanic voter turnout is projected to increase by 25% vs. 2020, far over-indexing the projected increase in voter turnout of non-Hispanics.
