WASHINGTON -- A campaign to get more Latino voters to the polls and combat anti-immigrant political rhetoric is getting help from a famous face: actress Diane Guerrero, a star of TV shows "Orange Is The New Black" and "Jane The Virgin."

In the video, Guerrero, who was born to undocumented immigrant parents , says Latino voters need to fight back against politicians who issue "insults and threats."

"Candidates say they need our votes to win the White House, and then we hear insults and threats, like a plan to deny citizenship to U.S. born children if their parents are immigrants. Theyre talking about people like me," she says in the video, which will be officially released and promoted on Tuesday.

"Lets build our legacy by registering and voting," she adds.
