For years, our communities have been bombarded by false information and political conspiracy theories. Voters have been subjected to higher levels of disinformation than ever before, with campaigns consistently targeting communities of color and Spanish-speaking audiences.
Now, Americano Media, a new media company founded by a former Trump campaign surrogate, is looking to create a right-wing media juggernaut with stations across the country directed at Latino voters. So far, the company has announced plans to spend $20 million on drawing in new viewers.
Americano Media's goal is to create a version of "Fox News in Spanish" that will allow them to spread far-right ideas and disinformation to our communities year-round. If we don't respond, their plan just might work.
Voto Latino is working to combat this kind of cynical strategy in communities across the country so that voters can be as informed as possible, no matter what language they speak. Will you pitch in now to support our voter outreach work?
