About the Show

Nuestra Voz is a roundtable for dialogue, communication, and analysis, connecting local events to global affairs and the ways they shape one another. From a Latin American perspective, rooted in Los Angeles, the show reports on the most significant aspects of social life in our Latino communities and the world.

For more than 20 years, Nuestra Voz has given voice to immigrant communities and civil society organizations through direct interviews and the participation of artists, teachers, organizers, students, and activists from across Los Angeles. It is unique in California — the only Spanish-language program of its kind.

History & Legacy

Nuestra Voz is a cornerstone of the Pacifica Foundation, which pioneered listener-supported radio in 1949. The program has long served as a pillar for amplifying critical community voices and advancing social justice within the migrant and Latin American civil society of Los Angeles. In the 1980s, it was a hub for solidarity with the insurgencies and exile communities of Central America. Through the first decade of the 2000s, it became a communications platform for California's migrant movement. Today, it is the only Spanish-language outlet in the state providing critical coverage of the war in the Middle East through the perspectives of its key players, analysts, and journalists.
