Basta Trump
Juan Gonzalez says "Now is the Time for Latino Millennia's to Vote". As the time is growing closer and closer to November Donald Trump is starting to seem like the Republican candidate for President. A lot of his campaign has been attacking Mexicans and stating he wants to build a wall against the southern border in order to keep them from coming to the United States. To add to his personal attacks young white students have been saying, "Build a wall," and "Trump, Trump" in support of Donald Trump mocking Latino students. As a result Univision has stated they are going to use all of their television stations and their networks to promote a 3 million Latino vote turn out. The movement is using Political opportunity theory to time their movement. With Trump making bold statements to build a wall and kick out immigrant's Latino have gathered and gotten media attention for his proposed plans and do not want him in office.

Somali Refuge
In Salt Lake City Utah a 17 year old, Abdi Mohamed, a Somali Refuge, was shot and killed after police claimed he an another suspect were beating someone. The victim however, did not need medical attention and suffered no serious injuries. Hundreds took to the streets in protest demanding answers as to why he was shot so abruptly. Abdi was shot twice in the torso and as a result has died from his wounds. Police have so far refused to release footage of the officer's body camera. The Protestors are using Resource Mobilization Theory in order to achieve justice for Abdi. They have gathered in large numbers and are demanding answers from their local police department. Unfortunately, the local police department has made no answers yet.
