Llerena, the state director of Make the Road Action in Pennsylvania part of the nation’s largest progressive grassroots immigrant-led organization, told NBC News she is doing everything in her power to get young Latinos out to vote.

A victory for Trump or Biden could hinge on winning two crucial battleground states—Florida and Pennsylvania—and young Latino voters could play a decisive role in a toss-up presidential race.

One million Latinos are expected to turn 18 every year for the next two decades, meaning it's almost impossible to engage Latino voters without understanding their connection to the nation’s youth vote.

Llerena said Make the Road Action has made 1.25 million calls and sent over a million text messages to Latino voters in Pennsylvania, while the Miami Young Republicans have registered many new voters, sometimes between 300 and 400 people in one day, and recruited hundreds of new Latinos for Trump volunteers.

Over 42.2 million people have voted early in part due to fears over Covid-19 exposure on Election Day and voters under the age of 30 represent 9.2 percent of all ballots cast, according to data analyzed by TargetSmart, a Democratic polling firm.

Nearly 500,000 are young Latino voters under the age of 30; about 65 percent (311,633 voters) of them voted for the first time, according to TargetSmart data as of Thursday evening.

Yumaira Saavedra of Allentown, Pennsylvania, will join the hundreds of thousands of first-time young Latinos who've already voted.

She’s planning on mailing her ballot soon to vote for Biden, though she had voted for Sen.

“But when he dropped out of the race, I decided to vote for Biden because I definitely want to vote Trump out,” said Saavedra, who's 18.

The trans military ban and Trump’s response to the Charlottesville, Virginia, protests in 2017 when white nationalists and counterprotesters clashed, killing one person and injuring 19 others, are also among the reasons why Saavedra decided early on to vote against Trump and organize other young Latino voters like herself.

Over 8 in 10 Latino registered voters (85 percent) said they are more likely to vote if it means addressing inequities and systemic barriers, a recent poll from BuzzFeed and Telemundo (NBC's sister network) found.

Forty-four percent of young voters ages 18 to 39 registered as Democrats or independents in 10 battleground states, including Florida and Pennsylvania, said they would be more likely to vote for Biden if the Trump nominee is confirmed to the Supreme Court, according to a new survey conducted by Civiqs, a polling and data analytics company, on behalf of Alliance for Youth Action, a national network of groups building political power among young people.
