San Francisco, CA. Radio Bilingüe launches this week a new website in Spanish for immigrants and immigrant-rights supporters.

The website, part of Radio Bilingüe’s online site, www.radiobilingue.org, highlights news on immigration policy, practical tools for immigrants, and links to advocacy organizations and other public resources available for immigrants in need.

The website also gives access to audio archives of the interactive radio series Edición de Inmigración de Línea Abierta, where visitors can hear lively policy discussions as well as practical advice on visa procedures.

An important contributor to the informational content of the website is Chicago attorney Rosalba Piña, host of the regular immigration edition Edición de Inmigración de Línea Abierta, a call-in show on immigrants and for immigrants. Born and raised in Chicago of Mexican immigrant parents, Piña is an expert on immigration and citizenship law.

Attorney Carlos Spector-Calderón from El Paso, Texas, is another major contributor. He is an expert on immigration and citizenship law, a long-time community advocate, and a regular commentator for Radio Bilingüe.

The new website seeks to help educate and mobilize immigrants around pressing issues impacting their lives. The website will provide timely information to increase immigrants participation in civic life and engage in the democratic process by using new technologies to gather information, communicate and conduct outreach work.

This website is made possible thanks to partial funding by the Community Technology Foundation of California, the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, and the Nathan Cummings Foundation.
