Washington, D.C. — October 9, 2024 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Leading up to the November 5th elections, HCN Global/La Red Hispana has launched Mano a Mano, a weekly political debate program that encourages US Latinos to participate in the political process during these crucial and historic presidential elections.

Mano a Mano is hosted in Spanish by veteran Mexican journalist José López Zamorano, who has over 30 years of experience on the issues of greatest importance to the Latino community in the United States. Every Thursday, Mano a Mano will gather prominent figures with opposing views, to discuss all the issues at stake for the Latino community in these elections, such as employment, health, immigration, reproductive rights, voter registration, and more.

“This could be the most important election in our lifetime. We have the responsibility to rise to the occasion and actively participate in this historic moment. Through VOTEMOS, we make it easier for Latinos to access all the resources they need to vote in this presidential election- be it finding accurate information on the issues at hand this election, registering to vote, or how to get involved in mobilizing their communities,” said Patricia Frausto-Rodríguez, campaign coordinator and Executive Director of World Voices Media.
