LaRed Latina, (Latin Network) was established in the
Spring of 1996, as a
World Wide
Web Forum, for the purpose of disseminating socio-political, cultural,
educational, and economic information about Latinos in the
Albuquerque/Santa Fe Metro area
and the Intermountain
Region which includes Metropolitan Areas such as the
Salt Lake City
/Ogden region,
Denver,
Phoenix,
Tucson ,
El Paso, Texas,
and
Las Vegas ,
The Latino
community in this geographic region numbers well over 5 million.
The Internet/WWW, provides an "exciting
new high-tech frontier for Latinos in the Intermountain Region to
communicate with each other on important social and political issues."
By
increasing this flow of communication and interaction, we contend that
these communities will be able to identify issues, share ideas, and
provide support and assist each other in addressing and resolving
socio-economic and educational related problems and concerns which may be
affecting each others respective community.
LaRed Latina's primary goal is to improve and facilitate
communication, cooperation, and sharing of cultural, educational, social,
and economic information between these geographically remote and diverse
Hispanic communities.
Through a series of directories which identify key leaders and
organizations within each community, and the effective use of
Listserv Networks
, and other internet interactive electronic forums,
LaRed Latina, will
seek to develop and mobilize networks within networks in the Intermountain
Region to assist in generating economic and social self-help programs and
projects that will help to improve the overall quality of life of the
inhabitants of these communities.
Ultimately, it is
LaRed Latina's Mission to harness the power of the
Internet/WWW as an instrument of social change, and socio-economic,
and educational empowerment.
It is our contention that when communities are
networked, their socio-political, and economic power will in turn increase
exponentially. Hence, it is through the Internet/WWW, that "LaRed
Latina" will seek to accomplish this goal in the Intermountain
(Urban) Southwest.
