Presente.org
Presente.org is an American advocacy group that exists to "amplify the political voice of Latin@s" in the United States.[1] It was co-founded in 2009 by journalist Roberto Lovato and artist and activist Favianna Rodriguez.[2]
In 2015, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders hired the Executive Director of Presente.org, Arturo Carmona, as Latino Outreach director and Southwest political director for his presidential campaign.[3]
Campaigns
In 2009 the group coordinated "BastaDobbs.com, a Latino-led coalition" critical of TV anchor Lou Dobbs' xenophobic commentary; Dobbs resigned from CNN under public pressure.[4][5][6] Also in 2009, during the confirmation of chief justice Sonia Sotomayor, the group disseminated a positive visual portrait of Sotomayor[7][8] In 2011 the group has campaigned against the U.S. government's deportation program "Secure Communities."[9][10]
