To start a new collaboration between Latino Rebels and La Madre Tierra, we first look to the future with voices that give us hope. Xiuhtezcatl Roske-Martínez is a world-renowned 14-year-old (yes, 14) indigenous climate activist and the very embodiment of this hopeful leadership. La Madre Tierra spoke with Xiuhtezcatl in Colorado over the summer. Here […]

In case you missed it, since there was little to no coverage at all in mainstream U.S. media, here is a video of a November 15 solidarity protest in downtown San Francisco for #Ayotzinapa: One of our own Rebeldes was on the ground in San Francisco taking pictures from the scene: Another one from @minsd […]

Created as a tribute to Mexico’s #YaMeCansé global movement, a #USTired2 mobilization calling for peace in Mexico launched this morning, campaign organizers told Latino Rebels. The group has identified December 3, 2014 as the day of demonstrations and rallies in at least 43 US cities to represent the 43 Ayotzinapa students. Organizers said that their focus will be […]

So just a few days after it was all about “anchor babies,” CNN’s “New Day” had actress Diane Guerrero (“Orange Is the New Black’) on to discuss her very personal story about her family and the open letter she wrote this weekend. “It is so difficult for some people to get documented and to get […]

UPDATE: Mediaite has now posted clips of Cuomo’s words after we shared the transcript and wrote our story. Seeing it on the air is even worse. Let’s just say this: If Cuomo thinks that he gave an apology, we have a bridge to sell to him. Before you continue reading this, let’s get one thing […]

Here is what Democracy Now! covered earlier today: This is the one angle the U.S. media should be exploring more. Kudos to our friends at Democracy Now! for shedding a light on it.

As the news spreads about #Ayotzinapa all over the world though social media, here are three videos you need to check out. From last night’s Netherlands-Mexico friendly in Amsterdam, Mexican sportswriter Iván Cañada recorded a Vine of Mexican fans shouting “¡Justicia!” (“Justice!”) during the match. So far, the Vine has gotten over 500,000 loops. There […]

To paraphrase that wonderful Al Pacino overacting moment by a tired Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III, just when I thought I could walk away from Google’s .SOY initiative, they pull me back in. You see, after people in our social circles (G+!) let Latino Rebels know about “the place for Latinos online” and […]

Last week was a big one in our industry. Oregon, Alaska and Washington DC all voted to legalize marijuana. Among all the other political news that occurred this past Tuesday —whether it was Democratic or Republican— the fact that these two states and our nation’s capital made this plant legal signals some very big changes. 2016 will […]

This weekend, while we were all finding out more about what is happening now in Mexico, Rebel Report’s R.J. Aguiar shares his take in our latest episode on Flama. Connect the dots, people. Mexico matters, and R.J. explains why: Post by Flama.

The following video is in Spanish. It provides a history of state violence and corruption in Mexico. As the video channel says in English: The straw that broke the camel’s back. We do not fear. Tlatelolco, June 10, Aguas Blancas, Acteal, Atenco, Nursery ABC Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa: A cumulative violence of murders and disappearances have raised […]

After trending globally last night on Twitter, videos are starting to appear on Vine and YouTube showing scenes from last night’s demonstrations in Mexico City as well as calls by Mexicans expressing how they are already “tired” of the country’s situation. The #YaMeCansé hashtag was created after Jesús Murillo Karam, Mexico’s attorney general, was finishing […]

Looks like that little story from Colorado about an “Illegal Pete’s” restaurant opening in Fort Collins has turned into a big deal for restaurant chain owner Pete Turner and the local group that asked him to change the name. Seriously, the story made Fox News today. Here’s what happened. This past Wednesday, Turner wrote one very […]

In 2013 when Luis Rivera received deferred action, he was ecstatic. Life was going to be totally different now, he thought, he wouldn’t have to lie anymore and it would be easier for him to get a better job. As it turned out, that wasn’t necessarily the case and the Riverside, California resident continued struggling […]

It was a rough week for Democrats… Let me rephrase that: It’s been a rough week for progressives. The thing they’ve been saying could happen this year actually happened, and after what will have been eight long, impotent years, the Republicans are set to regain control of Congress. Not your father’s Republican Party, mind you. […]

We were sent a public YouTube link of the following video the day before Election Day, and we wanted to share. It shows two unidentified individuals filming San Diego Police after they discover the patrol car right in the middle of Chicano Park in Barrio Logan. Chicano Park has a rich history in the city, […]

Remember all those suggestions from you all asking, “When are you guys doing your own TV show?” or “Why don’t you guys start producing your own show?” Well, believe us, we have been trying to do a show for a while now, it was just a matter of time and creating the right format. After […]
