SPOTLIGHT
Our organizations have met with Facebook several times, we have flagged content through emails, and we have publicly shared our concerns with Facebook about the rampant spread of U.S. Spanish-language disinformation and hateful activities on the platform. We remain deeply disappointed that concerns are continuously ignored. It is time for Facebook to meaningfully act and commit to protecting its Spanish-speaking users.

82% of showrunners are white. They are the people who hire writers, crew, and have final story decisions. All POC COMBINED make up only 18%. That's a stupid statistic. Still, it's reality. And, POC writers are the ones who suffer because of very real statistics like this one.
