Abstract
The Latina/o community is in the midst of a major demographic shift upwards. Along with this population growth, there has been an explosion of Latina/os across the spectrum of popular culture. However, lack of access to mass-media outlets and social constructions in mainstream society pose obstacles to Latina/ofreedom of expression. Meanwhile, the internet is evolving into a powerful platform for communication and freedom of speech. By developing a stronger Latina/o presence on-line, it may be possible to channel the power of the internet as a vehicle for empowerment, expression and freedom of speech.
