Support The Latino Newsletter

The Latino Newsletter is an independent nonprofit journalism outlet founded by Julio Ricardo Varela, award-winning journalist and founder of the breakthrough digital news site Latino Rebels. It is a daily offering that will publish stories, commentary and audio podcasts through a clear Latino lens. Access to the site and its stories are free, and besides sharing work through its growing subscriber list, The Latino Newsletter also distributes across several social media channels.

Latino power in the United States is still elusive. It does not exist at the level we perceive it to be. It’s time to face reality. Growing demographics have not equaled real respect.

In January of 2024, Pew Research published new data about eligible Latino voters in the United States. In 2022, it also published a comprehensive data analysis of Latinos, political parties and the issues the community cares most about. The findings show a population that is still evolving and trying to figure itself out. They challenged several assumptions about party identification and partisanship.

The lesson from the data is clear—generalizations about the U.S. Latino community and their leanings are shifting. We are currently in a time of flux and new possibilities. With an information void clearly happening, there is opportunity.

The community must own and drive the narrative. We cannot let non-Latino outlets and voices be the sole “experts” of how the U.S. views us. That is already happening and will only continue. The latest 2024 election coverage shows that. We need to create more lanes for our community.

All reporting, commentary, and audio must be of the highest quality. It needs to be premium. We must connect local communities with each other There must be diversity of voice and opinion.

This is your newsroom.

We would be honored to have you support us.
