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, which includes seniors, youth, and other historically excluded groups.
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.
Yesterday evening, National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) staff attended a rally outside of Staples Center to celebrate the National Basketball Association's decision to ban Clipper-owner Donald Sterling for life and to fine him $2.5 million. At the rally, NHMC urged the NBA's Board of Governor's to vote to permanently remove Sterling as the Clipper's owner.
NHMC attended the rally in solidarity with the African American community, the main targets in Sterling's latest rants. Sterling also has a history of discrimination against Latinos.
The NHMC is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 in Los Angeles, CA, dedicated to a fair media system that is inclusive of Latinos, and to open, affordable and universal communications. For many years NHMC has fought hate speech in media, and it has published numerous studies and opinion polls on the matter.
