According to the sources, the meeting, which was attended by representatives of associations such as Mi Familia Vota, Unidos US, Mana, A National Latina Organization and Hispanic Federation, among others, gave "follow-up to the impulse that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is giving to the protection of our fellow countrymen and women abroad".
