The Latino Newsletter

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. 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 us.

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.
