Noticias con consciencia. Voice for the people.
Informativo Pacifica delivers fearless Spanish-language news and analysis from Los Angeles to Latin America and beyond. Hosted by journalist and activist Norma Martinez Velazquez, the show centers stories and struggles too often ignored by mainstream media.
Each episode tackles urgent headlines — from Palestine and Gaza, to U.S. immigration policies, to labor movements across Argentina and Brazil — always through a lens of social justice, human rights, and collective power.
Since its launch in the mid-2000s, Informativo Pacifica has served as a critical Spanish-language news source for Los Angeles and beyond. Under the leadership of Norma Martinez Velazquez, the show amplifies stories from immigrant communities, Latin American social movements, labor struggles, and global human rights campaigns. It has covered historic moments like massive immigrant rights marches in LA, uprisings in Latin America, and ongoing fights against state repression worldwide. Informativo Pacifica remains a steadfast platform for truth, dignity, and collective power.
A journalist and activist dedicated to immigrant rights and human rights advocacy. Norma leads every episode with sharp analysis, compassion, and an unyielding commitment to truth.
