Voto Latino was quoted in the Washington Post in an article titled, “Reports find technical divide among foreign and U.S.-born Latinos“:

Maria Teresa Kumar, executive director of Voto Latino, a civic participation organization, said communication technology would be more likely to be passed from younger Latinos to their parents’ generation than vice versa.

“The young people have a unique level of influence in their family — they tell them what refrigerator to buy, what car to buy,” she said, adding that that also applies to digital communication technology.
