The Latino Representation in Publishing Coalition (LRPC), a collaboration of seven Latino-led organizations spearheaded by NHMC, is a fresh force in the industry committed to the expansion of Latino representation in the field of publishing, from its published materials to executive leadership. Latinos make up nearly 20% of the US population, but only account for 8% of employees in publishing. Dignidad Literaria, Latino Corporate Directors Association, Latinx in Publishing, The Latinx House, Hispanic Heritage Foundation, National Association of Latino Independent Producers, and the National Hispanic Media Coalition organize to hold publishing companies accountable by strategizing tangible solutions that amplify the work of Latino creatives and promote Latino organizational staff throughout the industry. LRPC is also supported by Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX 20), a champion in advancing Latino representation in the media.
