I sat last night reading all the wonderful entries to the Pantech Matrix Pro telefono giveaway that asked you how Latinos could best use smartphone technology to raise their political game. Really there were so many great and thoughtful responses that talked about art, activism, and the example of the Obama campaign. I wish I had phones for each of you.
Pero unfortunately, I only have one phone and that will be going to………
Oscar Flores.
What was it about Oscar’s email? I think the way his answer integrated the personal with the political got me. Without getting all up in his business Oscar wrote about moving from a place with nearly zero technology to the U.S. and how smartphone technology could have helped him as he navigated organizing within the racial justice paradigm and other intersections.
A sincere gracias to all who took the time to write thoughtful answers, and a sincere thanks to AT&T, Pantech and BuzzCorps for providing the prize. Stay tuned. VL will have more contests and giveaways.

If you’re in the NYC area, check out the 10th Havana Film Festival
Tax day came and went with a little racism for good measure
Sean Bell will get a street named after him, and the assholes are just further Brutalizing the dead man (as in don’t read the comments).
How did Goldman Sachs manage to do so well? Conspiracy? Yeah, well probably. (P.S. I used to work for GS, still feel dirty)

We warned you. Today through April 21, you can enter to win one AT&T Pantech Matrix Pro Smartphone. For me this phone was the perfect intro to smartphones and it had me tweeting, texting, sending fotos, and emailing up and down the 7 line and in the Mala/Mami’hood.
Want one?
Email us at info@vivirlatino.com, telling us how smartphone technology can help Latinos access and share information to further their political power (and you know I’m not just talking about electoral power). The most interesting (in my humble opinion) answer wins! Not only do you win the phone pero also a $100 credit for AT&T’s web site.
As much as I’m about promoting the Americas, the contest is only open to residents of the U.S.A. Sorry.
