  • 932 - The Tenant Association

    This week, Latino USA brings you the first episode of The Tenant Association, produced by Los Angeles Public Press.  The series follows a group of tenants who came together and fought back against their landlord. It’s a story about neighbors—elderly, young, immigrant, working class renters. Many of them are Latine and Asian and had lived for decades in an apartment complex in LA’s Chinatown. Until they got a rent increase that was basically an eviction notice… and decided to fight to stay in their homes. They’ve become a political force to be reckoned with, and changed what we think is possible for renters in Los Angeles. The tenants of Hillside Villa have been fighting for six years, and they’re not done. You can follow and subscribe to the series here.

  • 930 - Going Viral: How Influencers Are Impacting the Battle Over Young Latino Voters

    Since 1986, there has been an enduring 26-point gap in youth voter turnout in presidential elections. And as the Latine population continues to grow in the US, they are making up a large portion of new young eligible voters. So, in this election, both parties aggressively courted young Latinos for their votes. We follow two young Latinos who have been hand-picked by the parties to get out the youth vote, on the ground– in battleground states and all over social media.  This story is part of our special election coverage: The Latino Factor: How We Vote.

  • 928 - The Misinformation Web

    The 2024 presidential election has seen a rise in Spanish-language misinformation and in the content creators making a living by pushing out false content. For months, Futuro Investigates in collaboration with Latino USA, tracked how lies and conspiracies about the election and the candidates that originated in English soon found their way to Spanish-speaking audiences, amid the expanded monetization of tech platforms and the rise of technologies like AI. We meet face to face with social media influencers pushing out misinformation in Spanish, and with the experts combating it.
