Lopez, known for her powerful voice and advocacy, took the stage to emphasize the critical importance of voting and the implications of this upcoming election for the future of the nation. Her presence at the rally comes just days after she publicly endorsed Harris and Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for governor of Minnesota.

Joining Lopez at the event was the popular Mexican rock band Maná, who electrified the crowd with their music, adding a celebratory atmosphere to the rally.

As the crowd gathered, Lopez passionately addressed the audience, urging them to recognize the power of their votes. “We need to understand what’s at stake,” she said.

Lopez’s remarks were particularly poignant in light of a recent incident involving comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who made an offensive comment about Puerto Rico during a rally for former President Donald Trump.

In response, Lopez expressed her outrage and underscored the need for unity among all Latino communities. “I promised myself I wouldn’t get emotional, but you know what? We should be emotional. We should be upset and outraged,” she declared, reminding attendees that their voices and experiences matter.

As a proud Puerto Rican, Lopez affirmed her identity and the significance of representation in politics. “I am Puerto Rican, and yes, I was born here. I am an American. And, I am a mother, a sister, and an actress,” she said.

With heartfelt conviction, Jennifer Lopez proclaimed her intention to vote for Kamala Harris, framing her choice as not just a personal decision but a collective stand for progress and equality.

The singer drew parallels between her own journey in the entertainment industry and the broader experiences of many Americans. “When I started in TV and film, the roles offered to me were limited. I knew I had more to offer,” she reflected.

“We all want a chance to prove ourselves, and elections are about choosing leaders who support that,” she added.

Lopez concluded her speech with a rallying cry for solidarity and action. She urged attendees to embrace the power of their votes.
