I’m Carlos Berríos Polanco, San Juan Bureau Deputy Editor at The Latino Newsletter, and I wanted to personally share how much your donations and support have meant inside our newsroom this year.
Because of donors like you, The Latino Newsletter has been able to grow, take on bigger stories, and deliver the kind of journalism our communities deserve — one rooted in accuracy, representation, and lived experience.
Break stories that shaped local and national conversations, including investigations, cultural features, and political context that Latino communities rarely get from mainstream outlets.
Expand our Puerto Rico newsroom, strengthening our capacity to report directly from the island.
Grow our team of reporters and editors, giving us more eyes, more voices, and more bandwidth to pursue stories that matter.
As we roll through Giving Season, we’re working to keep this momentum going. We’ve set a supporter goal of $50,000 by December 31, and every contribution — large or small — gets us closer. All donations are tax-deductible.
Thank you for believing in the work we do. Independent Latino journalism is stronger because of you.
Carlos Berríos Polanco
San Juan Bureau Deputy Editor
P.S. Consider becoming a monthly donor — even a small recurring gift fuels our work all year.
