@futuromedia wins two @thewebbyawards!

This recognition is a reminder of why independent journalism matters and what it means to center communities that are often overlooked. From compelling accounts of children growing up in the shadow of ICE to an intimate portrayal of a refuge supporting families of detained immigrants, these stories reflect the issues that matter most and the power of thoughtful, responsible reporting.

Congratulations to our collaborators at @marshallproj for bringing “48 Hours at El Refugio” to life, to the @latinousa team for spotlighting the children in “A Summer Break That Wasn’t.”

Te traemos un episodio especial desde Puerto Rico de nuestros amigos de @radioambulante.

En marzo de 1975, el pueblo de Moca, en Puerto Rico, vio cómo se perturbaba su tranquilidad con la aparición de decenas de animales muertos. Para esta comunidad esa escena siniestra despertaría todo tipo de dudas y preguntas.

What does it mean to be Puerto Rican in the diaspora?

In 1969, Iris Morales became a leading member of the Young Lords in New York, a movement of young Boricuas determined to reclaim their history, culture, and political power.

At a time when many Puerto Ricans in the U.S. were taught to feel ashamed of their identity, the Young Lords pushed back. They organized, educated their communities, and built programs for families, centering Puerto Rican pride.

Their motto said it all: “Tengo a Puerto Rico en mi corazón.” I have Puerto Rico in my heart.

In this episode, Iris reflects on the search for identity in the diaspora, the tensions of reconnecting with the island, and what solidarity looks like today.

We’re a Gracie Award winner!

We won in the Documentary (Radio) category for “48 Hours at El Refugio: A Haven for Families of ICE Detainees.”

In rural south Georgia, El Refugio, a small white house, has been a lifeline for families visiting loved ones detained just two miles away at Stewart Detention Center, one of the largest immigration detention centers in the U.S.

We spent 48 hours inside, meeting families, sitting with volunteers, and witnessing the quiet acts of care that happen there every day.

This is a collaboration between @latinousa, @futuroinvestigates, and @marshallproj.
