Dear Colleagues/Colegas (Espaņol abajo),
Please consider taking a few minutes to send an e-mail and voice your
concern over the recent firing of Latino USA Executive Producer Maria
Martin. Martin was a founding member of Latino USA, the only National
Public Radio program focused on art, culture, politics, and social
issues involving Latinos and Latin America. She worked with the program
for about 12 years and has been dismissed because for raising grant
money, which has been interpreted as a conflict of interest.
Please write to the following people asking them to search for a
resolution of this issue in a way that will retain this key individual
who is responsible for many of the gains of Latinos in the
non-commercial radio field.

Thanks, Rob
Estimados Colegas,
Favor de tomar un par de minutos para mandar un correo electronico para
protestar la perdida de Maria Martin, editor ejecutivo de "Latino USA",
un programa importante en la radio no lucrativo en los Estados Unidos.
El director de la emisora KUT-FM en Austin, Tejas le quito el trabajo
por haber conseguido una beca para la produccion de una serie de
programas. Segun el, la beca representaba un logro que pondria a Maria
en competencia con la propia emisora donde trabajaba.
Por favor, escriben a las personas indicadas para pedirles que
repensaran este caso y que busquen la forma de resolver cualquier
conflicto en una forma que deje que Maria mantega ambos la beca y su
fuente de trabajo.
