“Before this pandemic, Latinx families were one of the least likely demographics to have internet access at home,” said Brenda V. Castillo, president and CEO of the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC). “As unemployment rises, our communities face a choice between making ends meet and staying connected. Access to communications isn’t a luxury — especially not amid a pandemic. NHMC, our allies and over 100,000 signatories urge Congress to act now to create a broadband subsidy through underutilized programs like Lifeline, and to connect millions of families today.” READ PRESS RELEASE HERE
The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) is a 35-year-old non-profit organization that builds bridges, creates opportunities, resources, and connects Latinx talent with the entertainment industry.
