CALÓ News and the Latino Media Collaborative are thrilled to invite you to the next event in our Diálogo Series—a crucial conversation about a growing concern this election cycle: how misinformation and election lies are impacting Latinos and immigrant communities.

In partnership with Free Press and Democracy Is, we’ll shine a light on how hate and disinformation in both social and mainstream media are specifically targeting immigrants, Black people, and Latinos. More importantly, we’ll discuss how our organizations are working to combat these efforts—and how you can take action to protect and empower our communities.

When: September 26, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Pacific
Where: Register Here

Join us for this impactful discussion, and learn how we can stand together to stop the spread of lies and hate. We look forward to seeing you there!

As our divided nation wrestles for the heart and soul of its future, Latinos hold the key to determining whether it is one guided by equity, diversity and inclusivity or one divided by hate and grievance. 30 years ago, California Latinos rebelled after the passage of anti-immigrant Proposition 187, directly resulting in the transformation of politics in the Golden State. The mass demonstrations, naturalization campaigns, and voter mobilization efforts led to incredible change in California's power structure and priorities, creating the environment where Democrats command overwhelming control. 30 years later, we find ourselves in a similar moment, but at a national level. 

Research points to a younger Latino voter block that shows up less at the ballot box, not seeing tangible solutions on the pressing issues that impact their families, and feeling disconnected from the political class. On the other hand, scapegoating immigrants is once again a central wedge issue dividing our nation. They promise "mass deportations" and look to enact draconian measures to curb immigration, but mostly they are using these tactics to divide national BIPOC coalitions in order to take control of the White House, Congress, and the Courts. Even with these dire predictions, enthusiasm within the Latino community has not matched the energy from the other side.  

So the question at the next Diálogo is, “How do we (re)ignite the Latino Vote and bridge the divide?”

Join us for a conversation around transforming the Latino voter from disillusioned to a power bloc for change. Our panel will include a cadre of top tier speakers from media, GOTV and messaging experts on the 2024 Presidential Election.

Encara al Racismo: A Dialogue on Overcoming Hate and Building Solidarity

Join us at our next Diálogo where experts will come together to tackle the pressing issue of hate within historically marginalized communities, with a special focus on the Latino experience. Dive deep into the tapestry of Latino identity in the United States, encompassing a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, countries of origin, and races.

This vital conversation will explore how various aspects of identity—such as country of origin, skin color, indigeneity and unique life experiences—shape attitudes toward racism. We'll discuss strategies for addressing racism, fostering meaningful community conversations and identifying the best facilitators for these crucial dialogues. Additionally, we'll examine the influential role media can play in this process.

Be a part of this critical dialogue and discover how we can build cross-racial and cross-cultural solidarity to create a more inclusive and just society.

Reception to follow 6-7pm.
Light refreshments will be served

The Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) region is often unfairly labeled as the "corridor of corruption," with a population of under a million Latinos living in the region, a new group of leaders are finding ways to collaborate, speak with a unified voice and co-create new initiatives as the community re-envisions the region addressing challenging economic and social conditions and a challenged past.

SELA's approach goes beyond rhetoric; they are actively involved in catalyzing tangible change. Through their efforts, they are uplifting the region, nurturing emerging leaders and pioneering a model for regional cooperation that places community voices at the forefront. As part of this growing movement, CALÓ News, in partnership with the SELA Collaborative will be reporting on the region as part of a new initiative.

Join us in May as our next Diálogo will focus on the social, economic, environmental, and political challenges facing Southeast Los Angeles and the promise of rebirth.

Reception to follow 6-8pm.
Light refreshments will be served.

Perspectives from Frontline Latino News Media Leaders and their Vision for Community Anchored L.A. Journalism

Join us for the first conversation in our Diálogo Series focused on the growing crisis impacting journalism in our region and its effects on the Latino communities of Greater Los Angeles. Recently, some newsrooms have been making headlines instead of writing them. Shutdowns and layoffs have become the norm as news operations struggle to find a business model that works. This is all having a disproportionate impact on Latino communities in the Los Angeles metro region. Join us on March 7th at 4pm at the City Club LA, where leading Latino voices in journalism will shed light to the growing crisis and the solutions needed to change the tide.
