summary

Co-founded Vote Latino in 2004 and acted as a Bernie surrogate and delegate, arguing celebrity reach converts to civic leverage but also to legal risk; social platforms become a direct tool to name abusers (used against Weinstein) and to mobilize voters. Cites a personal footprint of 9 million followers, engagement tradeoffs like 400k vs 50k (selfies vs political posts), careful timing, legal vetting, and the reality that visibility can both force accountability and provoke defamation, exile or audience loss.
