NHMC Joins NGO Roundtable to Highlight Work with YouTube Creators

On March 5, 2019, Daiquiri Ryan, Policy Counsel for the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC), joined creators and policy advocates at YouTube’s Pop Up event in Washington, DC. Daiquiri participated in an NGO Roundtable to talk about how NHMC has partnered with online creators to drive change and raise awareness in an innovative way. During Hispanic Heritage Month in 2018, NHMC teamed up with YouTubers Eddie Garcia and Jorge Narvaezs to talk about how technology and access to the internet has affected their careers, success, and every day lives. This collaboration is a perfect example of how NGOs and nonprofits can partner with YouTubers and other creatives to repackage policy initiatives through storytelling. YouTube’s Pop Up DC event held events from Monday March 4 - Thursday March 7, 2019 at Union Market to discuss the importance of diverse representation online and in policy. NHMC is proud to work with Latinx storytellers and other creators of color to make meaningful change in Washington, DC.

National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) is a 40+ year old 501(c)(3) non-profit, nonpartisan, civil and human rights organization that was founded to eliminate hate, discrimination, and racism toward Latino and marginalized communities.

We advance Latino visibility and influence from the halls of Washington, D.C., to the studios of Hollywood. Through our media advocacy and workforce development initiatives, NHMC creates spaces where diverse creators can connect, collaborate, and thrive. Our Series Scriptwriters Program, Latinx Stream Showcase, Creators Networking Program, Careers in Entertainment Youth Program, and Media Advocacy Fellowships serve as both incubators and pipelines, preparing the next generation of storytellers, advocates, and industry leaders. Through mentorship, education, networking opportunities, and direct access to entertainment executives, these programs help transform emerging talent into lasting industry voices while expanding authentic representation across media.

We lead the work to eliminate online hate and disinformation across media platforms. We advocate in the space of Artificial Intelligence when it intersects with civil & human rights, including making sure Latino-Interest and children’s protections are included in AI initiatives and implementations. We advocate for the Affordable Connectivity Program, Lifeline Program, Net Neutrality protections, and closing the digital divide for Latino and other marginalized communities. NHMC works in partnership with other social justice organizations to safeguard democracy in the United States of America.

NHMC is a not-for-profit, and provides equal opportunities to all individuals without regard to race, religion, national origin, disability, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by law.
