MOMENT IN TIME

Katz Multicultural has been growing by leaps and bounds.  Back in 2017 our focus was primarily dedicated to one broadcaster.  Now, in 2024, the KRG represents over 70 broadcasters who own 242 Hispanic targeted stations. An increase of 77%, the stations we represent cover more than 90% of the Hispanic marketplace.

 

TRAILBLAZER

Olivia Julianna is a political activist and strategist from Texas known for fighting for reproductive rights and her work with the NGO Gen-Z for Change. The activist — who identifies as Latina, disabled, and queer — recently gave a speech on the third night of the DNC, in which she called on her generation to vote. “As the saying goes: if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu. So Gen Z, let’s take our seat in our democracy and cast our ballots this November. “ Julianna also spoke about how people’s voting rights were hampered in different ways in Texas, and highlighted the importance of fighting for the right to vote.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

According to Pew Research, Latinos have grown at the second-fastest rate of any major racial and ethnic group in the U.S. electorate since the last presidential election. An estimated 36.2 million are eligible to vote this year, up from 32.3 million in 2020. This represents 50% of the total growth in eligible voters during this time.  Check out more facts about Latino voters on the Multicultural page of Katz's The Local Vote interactive guide.
