Migrant Youth and their Families - A Reel Grrls Production

Reel Grrls partnered with La Venture, Middle School in Mt. Vernon to coordinate a home stay program for five migrant youth to participate in our Spring Break Documentary Arts program. The five girls stayed at a community member’s house and worked together to produce their first film, Who We Are. Their strong short documentary shows their perspectives and experiences as young migrant girls living in America. The girls and their families attended our Spring Showcase, and over 140 people viewed the film.

Latina Voter Internet and New Media Usage

Los Angeles, CA - Latina voters with access to the internet are more likely to be informed about new state laws and the legislative process in general than non-connected Latina voters, according to a report released today by HOPE (Hispanas Organized for Political Equality). The poll was conducted by Bendixen & Associates and highlights the importance of bridging the digital divide to engage the Latina voting bloc for civic participation. The poll, Public Opinion Study Of California Latina Electorate, is the first of its kind to gage Latina voters’ awareness and comfort level using social media.
