America Ferrera and Eva Longoria are leading a group of more than 150 writers, artists and leaders who have written a public “letter of solidarity” to U.S. Latinos after the mass shooting in El Paso
President Trump calls Latinos “invaders.” Culture could offer a counter narrative—yet it does not.
The shootings and the raids come against a backdrop of racist episodes that include then-candidate Donald Trump referring to some Mexican immigrants as “rapists”; Trump, as president, referring to migrants coming to the U.S. as “an invasion”; and viral videos of white people chastising Latinos for speaking Spanish in public.
Longoria said the letter is not meant to take political sides but to reach out to Americans regardless of party to say Latinos are hurting. “We wanted to do something to let people know we aren’t growing to lie down and take it,” Ferrera said. “We are going to stand up and fight.”
