Thanks to your generous donations, HOLA will be able to ramp up its outreach efforts across the nation to increase its membership and expand its vital programming. In addition, your donations will also allow us to create a greater number of advocacy campaigns, year round, that will speak out forcefully on behalf of a more accurate and non-stereotyped portrayal of Latinos in this nation. HOLA will also be able to expand its network of industry contacts and training for Latino actors in order to create greater employment opportunities for the community and, as such, help bring about the day when the number of Latinos on screens accurately reflects their demographic presence in the nation.
