SUPPORTING LATINO STORIES MATTERS — MORE THAN YOU THINK


Luna is one of those stories.

Meet Luna — an animated, high-energy project about a fearless young Latina who races Formula 1 cars. But this isn't just a racing movie. It's a powerful story of resilience, family, and breaking barriers. The 20-second trailer offers just a glimpse. With your support, we can help bring the full feature to life.

Latinos are the backbone of the U.S. economy and a driving force in culture — yet Hollywood continues to sideline our stories. The few Latino-led films that have made it to the big screen? They've proven themselves at the box office, showing that these stories aren’t just important — they’re lucrative.

Luna, created by Jeff Valdez of New Cadence Productions, is more than a movie. It’s a bold statement: Latino stories deserve the spotlight.

📽️ Watch the trailer. Share it. Help push Luna forward.

What we choose to support doesn’t just reflect culture — it shapes it.

The 5% Remittance Tax: What It Is—and Why It Must Be Stopped

The proposed 5% remittance tax is a policy that would place a 5% fee on money sent from the United States to family members and loved ones abroad. Remittances are a critical financial lifeline for millions of families, funding essential needs like housing, education, medicine, and food.

Under this proposal, individuals sending money internationally would be required to pay a 5% surcharge at the point of transfer.

Far from strengthening the U.S. economy, the 5% remittance tax could do real harm:

  • This tax doesn't stop families from sending money home, it just makes it more expensive. When families have to spend more to send money abroad, they won’t stop supporting their families. They’ll just have less to spend.

  • The remittance tax disproportionately affects immigrants and Latino communities. And Latino communities, in particular, drive a significant share of U.S. consumer spending. When their disposable income shrinks, the ripple effects hit local businesses and weakens the broader economy.

A real understanding of the Latino cohort is essential to shaping smart policy, one that supports economic growth and respects the contributions of this hard-working population.
