announcement #33 - People's Press

While we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes reviewing submissions and drumming up donations, world news has thrust just about every hot button issue we can think of into the forefront of the conversation

But don’t you ever want to hear what a regular person has to say? A resident just like you—not some elitist news anchor or mainstream sellout

With ICE at our doorstep and birthright citizenship on the chopping block, what it means to be Mexican-American is up for debate this year more than most.

Check out our latest story by first time Citizen Journalist Dario Felix-Moreno to see what this third generation Mexican-American has to say about why young people like him might not visit Mexico, how the “compa system” perpetuates nepotism in local government, and how trying to avoid stereotypes inadvertently creates new ones
