Getting to Know the Opposition
Getting to Know the Opposition April 2007 by Judith Golub, Executive Director Getting to Know the Opposition -- Nativists and the Immigration Debate Judith Golub, Executive Director, Immigrant Legal Resource Center Immigration matters. Immigration has been and will continue to be central to who we are as a nation and key to our economic, social and cultural vigor and well-being. Immigration matters because of its dramatic impacts on people’s lives. Immigration laws and policies determine if loved ones can stay together, refugees and asylees are granted the protection they deserve, and American business has the workers it needs. Security experts also emphasize that a well-running immigration system enhances our security. Certainly, our current system has taught us that enforcing dysfunctional laws leads to more dysfunction, not more enforcement. Immigration also is a high profile issue, not only because Congress is debating how best to reform our laws, but also because immigration incites deep passions. And anti-immigrant groups have manipulated these passions, especially after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Well organized and with deep pockets, these groups operate at the federal, state and local levels. They are determined to reduce, if not end, immigration to this country, notwithstanding the fact that immigrants contribute to our educational, cultural and social well-being. Fearful of our nation’s changing demographics and diversity, some of these groups position themselves as mainstream and “pro-immigrant while anti-immigration,” and caution their members to not appear racist. Others openly flaunt their white nationalist and anti-immigrant, anti-Jewish, anti-Latino, anti-black, and anti-gay agenda. -

Testimony of Michael Scurato, Vice President, Policy National Hispanic Media Coalition
Testimony of Michael Scurato, Vice President, Policy National Hispanic Media Coalition Before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Broadcast Ownership in the 21st Century September 25, 2015 Chairman Walden, Ranking Member Eshoo, and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to testify this morning. I represent the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC), a media advocacy and civil rights organization working towards a media that is fair, inclusive, and accessible to all people. A little over a year ago, my colleague, Jessica González, testified before this Subcommittee at a hearing similar to this one, entitled “Media Ownership in the 21st Century.”1 I am glad that the Subcommittee is continuing to examine this issue and I am thankful for the desire to explore ways to promote ownership diversity. Broadcasting remains incredibly important in today’s media landscape. Broadcast content reaches nearly everybody in this country on a regular basis and facilitates local and national discourse on important issues. Yet, despite an increasingly diverse population and near-universal recognition of the importance of broadcast ownership diversity, women and people of color continue to be shut out of this industry. 1 NHMC’s previous testimony, delivered to this Subcommittee on June 11, 2014, can be found at App. A. NHMC recommends that Congress urge the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) to tighten its current media ownership rules to create opportunities for new entrants. The FCC’s recent action to make Joint Sales Agreements (JSAs) attributable ownership interests closed a loophole that limited the efficacy of the FCC’s existing rules and it has already paid dividends by allowing a number of diverse owners to purchase stations. -

Testimony of Jessica J. González Executive Vice President & General
Testimony of Jessica J. González Executive Vice President & General Counsel National Hispanic Media Coalition Before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Regarding Media Ownership in the 21st Century June 11, 2014 Summary For centuries, we have recognized that vibrant and diverse media and communications systems promote democracy and ensure that the American populace is an informed electorate capable of carrying out the duties of citizenship. Our communications infrastructure, particularly broadcasting, makes use of a precious and finite public resource – electromagnetic spectrum. The FCC has an obligation to make sure that this valuable resource is used to serve the public interest by ensuring that it promotes diversity, localism, and competition in the distribution of licenses. Under the FCC’s watch, excessive consolidation has caused a significant decline in ownership of broadcast stations by women and people of color. Many diverse owners have attributed this decline to a relaxation of media ownership rules following the signing of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and the loss of the “minority tax certificate” program. In spite of this consolidation, broadcasting remains the dominant way for our communities to access news and information. It continues to outpace the Internet in terms of both reach and impact, particularly in communities of color that often lag others in home broadband adoption. Unfortunately, due to waning diversity and a rise of non-local, conglomerate-owned media outlets, people of color often face negative stereotypes and vicious attacks at the hands of the broadcasters that serve their communities. The FCC should be encouraged to ramp up efforts to pursue its goals of localism, diversity, and competition. -
