From September 15 to October 15, the United States celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, also marked by many in the community as Latinx Heritage Month.
This month serves as an opportunity to highlight the dedication of activists and citizens in Latin American and Caribbean countries like Guatemala, where Indigenous people led mass mobilizations to ensure the installation of a democratically elected president; and Venezuela, where citizens protested the manipulated July elections in the face of violence and intimidation. To mark the occasion, we interviewed Jacquie Marte, Program Manager on our Latin America and Caribbean programs team, to discuss her experiences working alongside leaders shaping the future of democracy in the region.

Key digital interference issues to watch out for include internet shutdowns, website blocks, and information manipulation.
