\n\tHollywood\u2019s rising stars Melissa Barrera<\/a> and Tonatiuh are joining forces with Latin music heavyweights Los Tigres Del Norte<\/a> and Chiquis for an American Friends Service Committee-led PSA campaign to champion the contributions of Latino immigrants in the United States.<\/p>\n

\n\tRolling Stone<\/em> can exclusively reveal the PSA campaign, titled \u201cImmigrants Make Our Communities Stronger,\u201d which aims to amplify the voices of Latinos<\/a> and celebrate the immigrant community as drivers in the American economy. Also joining the campaign, which is led by activist Dolores Huerta<\/a>, are stars such as actress Mishel Prada,<\/a> Ozomatli\u2019s Wil-Dog Abers, Marisela, and radio personality Don Cheto.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cImmigrants aren\u2019t just part of America\u2019s story; they are central to its success,\u201d said Huerta, the co-founder of the United Farm Workers. \u201cThe people that are being targeted are not just immigrants; they\u00a0are the indigenous people of these continents\u2026\u00a0People are being harassed because of the color of their skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTonatiuh, who\u2019s set to star alongside Jennifer Lopez in Kiss of the Spider-Woman<\/a>,<\/em> highlighted his mom\u2019s immigrant story and how she persevered in America \u201cwithout a roadmap,\u201d leading to his success in Hollywood. \u201cBecause of her determination, I went from a public school to leading a Hollywood film,\u201d Tonatiuh said. \u201cOur story isn\u2019t unique; it\u2019s the story of countless Americans before us. Immigrants are not a problem to fix; we are the living embodiment of America\u2019s values. I\u2019m joining AFSC\u2019s historic campaign to remind the country: Immigrants are America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe PSA highlights how immigrants paid $579 billion in U.S. taxes in 2022, including nearly $97 billion from undocumented immigrants alone. More than 500,000 immigrant workers are part of the agriculture business, with Latinos comprising a fourth of jobs in food manufacturing and service industries.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNearly half of the foreign-born workforce is Latino, and together our community is driving America\u2019s future,\u201d said Barrera. \u201cThis campaign serves as a reminder of the power we, as immigrants, hold. We are not outsiders; we are an integral part of the fabric of the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bilingual PSA and campaign will be distributed across traditional and digital media, and through allied networks in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
