Each December, we stop for a day to raise awareness about the AIDS pandemic, to commemorate those who have died and advocate for increased access to prevention and treatment services for those who are living with the disease. And while December has become a time to reflect on the battle against HIV, we all know […]

Republican Presidential Hopefuls to Skip Hispanic Forum
A gathering of the big names in national conservative politics early next year was to provide a forum for 2012 hopefuls to address the largest minority group in the country–Hispanics. However, fresh off of leading the way for the defeat of immigration reform in Congress, most Republicans are declining the opportunity. The Hispanic Leadership Network […]
Census Data Reveals Southwestern States with Large Hispanic Populations Saw the Most Growth
The first set of data from the 2010 Census released yesterday showed that states in the Southwest, home to the majority of Hispanics in the country, experienced some of the highest population growth and gained congressional seats.

Guest Blogger Series: Arturo Vargas “New Census Numbers Portend Significant Latino Role”
This Op-Ed orginally appeared in The Huffington Post. For the Latino community in particular, Tuesday December 21 is a very big day, and it has nothing really to do with the holidays but rather with numbers and more numbers.

Guest Blogger Series: Matt Barreto “Senators Who Opposed DREAM Act May Face Latino Roadblocks in 2012”

This Op-Ed originally appeared in POLITICO.

There was unanimous agreement. I said a strong, […]
Guest Blogger Series: Jessica Arons “Hyde Amendment Detrimental to Latina Reproductive Health”
Latinovations thanks Jessica Arons for her contribution to La Plaza, which is an exclusive adaptation of an article that was originally published in Spanish on the Center for American Progress website. Abortion funding policies in this country are discriminatory and put abortion care out of reach for the women who need it the most: low-income […]

Bartash Media Group is responsible for the new venture and has been in operation for 58 years, printing hundreds of catalogs, magazines, newspapers and niche publications for hundreds of companies from Maine to Alabama “I […]
Last Ditch Effort for DREAM Act
Don’t count the DREAM Act dead yet. Supporters of the law aren’t giving up and have focused their efforts on 10 members of the Senate that could push the legislation through. The Senators make up a “most wanted” list that was released Tuesday by the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda (NHLA) and includes three Democrats and […]
