Latinxs are calling for a bigger future in the Media!!!

-

 The Free Press News Voices partnered up with individuals from the Latinx community to start a project about a bigger Latinx local news future. The main idea of this project was to build on a bigger news platform that Latinx could identify with. Diamond Hardiman wrote an article and spoke about this subject. Latinx have been dealing with severe racist media problems. There are many barriers between mass media and Latinx communities. This project was created in hopes of destroying these barriers and a call for better representation towards Latinxs. Hardiman states that powerful media outlets make it complicated for Latinxs to expand their horizons in the media industry. Many ideas were brainstormed to fix this issue. The state of Colorado proposed for more Latinx staff in newsrooms and investing in future Latinx media makers. I believe that this is important because, after the 2016 presidential elections, media outlets started to talk about Latinxs negatively. Donald Trump was publicly defaming Latinxs, Mexicans to be more specific. For a while, Mexicans were the talk of the day by many media outlets. I believe that we need younger Latinx media creators, journalists, news reporters, and other media staff. It’s essential for changes like Coloradans are making; I hope more states start speaking up for brighter Latinx media outlets.

  Immigrants from different countries have been trying to cross over to the United States. Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, bussed several immigrants from the Texas border to Washington D.C. Many people are not content with this. The real question here is, why did he do this first? Beto O’Rourke stated that this was just another political stunt done by Greg Abbott. Beto also mentions that Greg has not done a thing to improve the safety of Texas or, in fact, the security of the country. People have different opinions about this. Twitter is flooded with tweets about these buses arriving in Washington. Many people are happy that they are helping immigrants. On the other hand, some say negative things such as “send them back to where they came from .”Some people are also mad because they believe that Greg plays politics with people’s lives. Jokes are being made about this issue. Many people tweet the following “Keep bringing them, don’t worry, Biden won’t even notice,” and pictures ...

Latinx Street Vendors became viral on TikTok??!! Here is why.....

-
 A famous tiktoker named Juixxe became viral after creating a platform to help Latinx Street vendors in Los Angeles, California. There are tons of Latinx people selling different things in the streets of Los Angeles; some claim that this is how they survive, especially during this pandemic. Street vendors were being harassed and filmed for some time to be made fun of online. Many started a movement to protect and help these street vendors. Juixxe started recruiting funds from his videos to distribute them to random street vendors as an appreciation for their services. This became viral, and millions of people began contributing to the movement. Juixxe creates different accounts like Zelle, GoFund me, and Cashapp, where people deposit money for these vendors. Once the funds are collected, Juixxe goes on missions to look for street vendors and bless them with up to $1000. Juixxe approaches a street vendor and pretends as if he is going to buy something from them, and once the vendors...
