It’s been a long and tough road over the past 3 years fighting to get into events that are important to our readers and to be able to provide you with coverage of the topics that mainstream media ignores. From the Latin Grammies to presidential debates, VL has been there covering it all live and in person. But the biggest event for us and perhaps even for our nation this year is the Democratic National Convention, which will take place in August in Denver. We’ve been credentialed for the event and are ready to cover it for you, but there is still an obstacle. As a non-traditional, independent media outlet, the costs associated with the event are less than accessible for us. We are still in the process of looking for a sponsor for our ongoing DNC coverage, as expenses will be high. If you are an advertiser and interested in becoming a presenting sponsor of VivirLatino’s exclusive Latino coverage of the Democratic National Convention, please contact us at info@vivirlatino.com.
And to our readers, any little bit will help us make this happen. As you might already know, we will also be taking a student correspondent to the event to help cover the issues across generations and ensure that the DNC is reported on from multiple points of view. If you would like to contribute to making this dream a reality, consider donating whatever you can to our DNC fundraiser by clicking on the ChipIn button on the right side of the homepage.
As always, thanks for reading and we look forward to covering one of history’s most important conventions this year just for you.
Sincerely,
The VL Team

It is going to be quite a summer. Last night I got word that yours truely on behalf of VivirLatino will be headed in August to the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado as a credentialed blogger. I am excited for this opportunity. Not that getting here has been controversy free.
When bloggers were chosen for the state blogger pool, many amazing, grassroots, independent bloggers of color were given the shaft. Looking at the list of bloggers credentialed, there are some bloggers there that I know and love. We’ll see how this all pans out. Stay tuned for more information.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
