Join the most important Latinx owned and operated outlet in Los Angeles.
Our community. Our narrative. Our history.
Due to a planned reduction in food benefits available from Los Angeles County to those most in need, many low-income Latinos and families will face what is being called a hunger cliff. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government temporarily increased its CalFresh food assistance program benefits. But these extra benefits ended on March 26, three years after the pandemic started.
The CalFresh program is designed for patients who struggle to pay grocery bills for food.
Latinx people are among the groups that are one and a half times more likely to contract the virus and twice as likely to die from COVID-19.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports the percentage of Latinx adults who receive treatment in the U.S is roughly 35%. Cost, cultural and language barriers, accessibility issues, and fears around legal concerns are just a few of the hurdles that keep us from accessing the services we desperately need.

Latinos make up 30 percent of the Los Angeles electorate, but the only Latino candidate running for mayor is polling behind. We need a mayor who truly understands our community and has demonstrated a commitment to fighting with and for us.
California is ahead of the nation in its plans to insure undocumented immigrants. Many of these workers also work in essential services, such as food, farm and factory labor, and risked their lives during the pandemic to support the California economy. Let’s protect our state’s health by covering everyone regardless of immigration status.
