The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) is a 35-year old civil rights organization dedicated to increasing Latinx representation in media and entertainment, and protecting and
expanding the digital rights of the Latinx community and other marginalized communities. The depiction of Latinx in the media affects the context in which we are viewed in society. It shapes our interactions and our empowerment to seek opportunities. Thus, curtailing the spread of disinformation and hate speech is critical to ensuring that Latinx are given the best possible chance to progress. It has become a safety issue for our Latinx community as we are under-resourced when it comes to digital and media literacy. NHMC is dedicated to eliminating hate online and holding social media companies accountable for their role in the rise of white supremacy.
