NDN Congratulates Univision on Decision Not to Run Advertisements from Latinos for Reform
Today I released the following statement:
We congratulate Univision for their smart decision not to run any advertisements from Latinos for Reform that advocate for Latinos not to vote in the 2010 election. Few companies in America have done more to encourage civic participation than Univision, and running these advertisements would have undermined their brand and undercut their commitment to good citizenship. This was the right decision.
En Español:
Felicitamos a la cadena Univisión por su inteligente decisión de no pautar anuncios auspiciados por el grupo “Latinos for Reform”, que aboga por que los latinos no salgan a votar en las elecciones del 2010. Son pocas las compañías en los Estados Unidos que han hecho tanto para fomentar la participación cívica como Univisón, y la pauta de dichos anuncios hubiese socavado su imagen y debilitidado su compromiso con el ejercicio de la buena ciudadanía. Fue la decisión correcta.
