Today at 7PM – FCC Live Streamed Panel
The National Hispanic Media Coalition encourages all Latinos to get informed and participate on how decisions made at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) can directly impact Latinos’ access to economic opportunities, as well as their health and well-being.
The NHMC is inviting all interested parties, whether you’re a filmmaker, an elementary school student, or a parent to join them tonight via live stream, for a community town hall event to learn more about what Latinos and other historically underserved communities have at stake in terms of how the FCC’s decisions could impact them.

Hosted by NHMC and its partners in the Voices for Internet Freedom Coalition, Oakland Voices: A Town Hall on Our Right to Communicate will give Oakland community members an opportunity to share their stories – and to tell FCC Chairman Wheeler about the impacts of an increasingly corporate media environment.
The event will be streamed live from 7-9 p.m Pacific Time at www.internetvoices.org, and you can join and follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #oaklandvoices.
This is a chance to tell Mr. Wheeler about the kind of media system that best meet our needs — and to advocate for the health and well-being of our families and our communities.
