Spanish Language Organizing

With a presence of 44 million and a buying power approaching $1 trillion, Latinos are the fastest growing group of consumers in the nation. Corporations understand the role of Latinos in the national economy and there has been tremendous growth in Spanish language media. But while the growth of the Spanish language market should bring new work opportunities for SAG actors, most productions choose to go non-union.
