The Latino Representation in Gaming Coalition was announced by a coalition of Latino organizations and US Rep. Joaquin Castro.

The coalition was announced Thursday the National Press Club in Washington, DC, to an audience of Latino leaders, Capitol Hill staff, video game industry representatives and media. “I loved classics like ‘The Breakfast Club’ or ‘Family Ties,’ even though the faces and names I saw on screen rarely matched the world around me on the west side of San Antonio. Castillo continued, “The coalition is dedicated to fighting for positive representation in all entertainment mediums — from the movie screen to the video game monitor — and we will work to ensure the industry sees us, hears us and respects our power.”
