Univision unveils Unidos por los Nuestros COVID-19

Univision Communications Inc. is launching Unidos Por Los Nuestros (United for Each Other) COVID-19 campaign to help Hispanic America grapple with the impact of the pandemic based on consultation with community partners and audience needs. Focusing on Home and Family, Health and Wellness, and Financial Stability, the new initiative will offer details on how to access critical health and economic-related resources while aiming to close the in-language information gap that Hispanic Americans are experiencing during this heightened time of need.

Unidos Por Los Nuestros COVID-19 campaign doubles down on the company’s mission of informing and empowering the Hispanic community by focusing on helping them navigate new hurdles in their daily lives caused by the pandemic. Since the onset of COVID-19, Univision is leveraging its network, local broadcast, radio and digital channels to provide daily information about proper measures and precautions to help stop the spread of the virus.

“Univision’s commitment to our community is long-standing and unwavering in times of crisis. Our Unidos Por Los Nuestros (United for Each Other) campaign focuses on recommended measures to take and highlights resources for our community so they can make the decisions necessary to hasten the recovery for themselves and their families,” said Ron Estrada, Senior Vice President, Head of Government Affairs and Corporate Social Responsibility.

As part of this Unidos Por Los Nuestros COVID-19 campaign, Univision is partnering with more than a dozen advocacy organizations such as UnidosUS, LULAC, Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Mi Familia Vota, and Too Small To Fail, among others, to provide information to the community regarding financial stability, home and family challenges, and health and wellness with a special emphasis on mental health. Through a coordinated deployment of PSAs, virtual townhalls, Facebook Lives, text message campaigns, and other means, the company is donating thousands of hours in airtime and millions of dollars in air and digital inventory to ensure our audience is informed and empowered.
