This free virtual event is happening Thursday!

Join the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) and Cal State LA Alumni Association for an exclusive discussion featuring Brenda Victoria Castillo, President and CEO of NHMC, and CSU alum Felicia Mora, Cruz Castillo, and Leila Rezvani. This industry chat will be facilitated by Dr. Kristiina Hackel, Chair of the Cal State LA Television, Film, & Media Studies Department. The Latinx Visibility Panel has been amplified to the 23 CSU campuses throughout California - we are excited to share the opportunities with the CSU students and alum!

Don't miss this special opportunity to learn firsthand how NHMC educates and increases Latinx visibility through their policy work in Washington, D.C. and their media advocacy work in Hollywood, helping to shape society's attitudes, values, and beliefs toward Latinx communities.

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.
