The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) is a women-led non-profit civil and human rights organization that was founded to eliminate hate, discrimination, and racism toward the Latino/a/x/e communities.
We educate and increase Latine visibility from our policy work in Washington D.C. to our media advocacy work in Hollywood, where we collaborate, create, and connect Latine talent with the entertainment industry. At NHMC, we focus on all forms of media because it is one of the most influential and powerful institutions that shape society’s attitudes, values, and beliefs.
Our workforce development programs, the 20-year old Series Scriptwriters Program, and 10-year Latinx Stream Showcase have launched the careers of 300+ Latine creators, creating opportunities for authentic Latine storytelling.These programs prepare Latine for a career in content creation through access to an intensive seven-week writers’ labs and short film opportunities.
The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) will be using the awarded $50,000 annually for our Education Workforce Development Program: Series Scriptwriters Program & Latine Stream Showcase operating in Los Angeles County, where Latinos are more than 50% of the population.
