Statement on Behalf of Brenda Victoria Castillo, President and CEO, National Hispanic Media Coalition, on Saturday’s National Protests During No King’s Day

Humans deserve to be treated with respect and dignity - period! 

The generations before us worked hard and made sacrifices for us. Now it is our turn to show up, make sacrifices, and work hard in honor of our ancestors and out of respect for the generations to come.

On Saturday, June 14, join millions in the United States and globally for No Kings Day, a day of action that pushes back against harmful policies being implemented by the current administration. This is a moment to show up for each other - in the streets, online, and in every space where power is being challenged. 

Let’s rise together, mobilize, speak out, and take action. If you plan to participate in a No Kings Day protest, please visit the links below.

Yours in the Movement, 

Brenda Victoria Castillo

President & CEO

National Hispanic Media Coalition

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.
