Conecta Arizona hasn't added a story.
¡Hola!
Te saludamos desde la frontera, ese lugar tan bello, lleno de contrastes, y que gracias a ti estamos transformando en un jardín de noticias en español. Para muchos, este desierto es muy difícil de entender, pero para quienes vivimos aquí tiene magia, historia y es un semillero de historias que aún nos faltan por contar.
Por eso Conecta Arizona es mucho más que un medio de comunicación; somos un puente humano que une comunidades, comparte verdades y amplifica las voces que a menudo quedan en silencio… y, bueno, con tu ayuda y confianza le devolvemos el diálogo al periodismo.
Pero para seguir adelante, necesitamos tu ayuda. Todo el periodismo que hacemos es gratuito para nuestra comunidad, pero no significa que sea gratis de producir. Además, queremos predicar con el ejemplo y ayudar a sanar a nuestra comunidad y el ecosistema de noticias con periodismo diferente, una narrativa positiva y una verificación de datos que no se había hecho en español en Arizona.
¿Nos echas la mano?
Nuestra Historia
Todo comenzó con un grupo de WhatsApp y una misión: combatir la desinformación durante la pandemia. Era el 2020, el virus de la información falsa, el coronavirus y una intensa elección presidencial nos desafiaba como nunca antes. Empezamos con un grupo de 12 personas que tenían ganas de acompañarse e informarse bien, pero cuatro años después somos miles los que nos “conectamos” de una manera u otra con noticias, historias, buen humor y una perspectiva bicultural que nos enorgullece mucho.
Nuestro Impacto
- Creamos espacios seguros para el diálogo comunitario en Whatsapp y en persona con La Hora del Cafecito.
- Producimos el galardonado podcast "Cruzando Líneas" (y te adelantamos que ya casi terminamos la segunda temporada)
- Verificamos información crucial para nuestra comunidad
- Capacitamos a periodistas y narradores comunitarios
- Les damos oportunidad a periodistas independientes de contar las historias que en otros lugares son censuradas
- Tenemos un buró en Sonora, México, y queremos seguir creciendo
El futuro que imaginamos contigo
- Expandirnos a comunidades rurales de Arizona
- Lanzar la segunda generación "Plumas Invitadas" para amplificar voces locales
- Producir más temporadas de "Cruzando Líneas"
-
Formar una redacción robusta de periodistas comunitarios desde
Phoenix hasta Sonora y más allá
¿Por qué tu donación importa?
Cada dólar que dones será duplicado por NewsMatch, duplicando tu impacto.
T u contribución nos ayudará a:
- Combatir la desinformación
- Fortalecer el periodismo local
- Narrar historias fronterizas auténticas

Nuestra Meta
$30,000 antes del 31 de diciembre.

Juntos, estamos escribiendo el futuro del periodismo fronterizo… como dicen: antes éramos semillas, pero con tu ayuda seremos flores,
Muchas gracias por tu apoyo. Te mando un apapacho (un abrazo con el alma)
Now in English:
¡Hola! Greetings from the border, that beautiful place full of contrasts, and which thanks to you, we are transforming into a garden of news in Spanish. For many, this desert is very difficult to understand. But for those of us who live here it has magic, history and many beautiful stories that we have yet to tell.
That's why Conecta Arizona is much more than a news organization; we are a human bridge that unites communities, shares truths and amplifies voices that are often silenced ... and, with your help and trust, we will bring dialogue back to journalism.
But to move forward, we need your support.
All the journalism we provide is free to our community, but that doesn't mean it's free to produce. In addition, we want to lead by example and help heal our community and news ecosystem with different journalism, positive storytelling and fact-checking that hasn't been done for Arizonans in Spanish.
Will you help us?
Our Story:
We started with a WhatsApp group and a mission: to
fight misinformation during the pandemic. It was 2020; the
disinformation, coronavirus and an intense presidential election
challenged us like never before. Conecta Arizona started with a
group of 12 people who were eager to accompany each other and be
well informed. Four years later there are thousands of us who
“connect” in one way or another with news, stories, good humor and a
bicultural perspective that makes us very proud.
Our Impact:
- Created safe spaces for community dialogue on Whatsapp and in person with La Hora del Cafecito.
- Produce the award-winning podcast “Cruzando Líneas” (and we're almost done with our second season).
- Verify crucial information for our community.
- Train journalists and community storytellers.
- Give independent journalists the opportunity to tell stories that are censored elsewhere.
- Have a second bureau in Sonora, Mexico, and we want to continue to grow.
The future we envision with you:
- Expand to rural Arizona communities.
- Launch the second generation of “Plumas Invitadas” to amplify local voices.
- Produce more seasons of “Cruzando Líneas”.
- Build a robust newsroom of community journalists from Phoenix to Sonora and beyond.
Why does your donation matter?
Every dollar you donate will be doubled by NewsMatch, increasing your impact.
Your contribution will help us to:
- Fight misinformation
- Strengthen local journalism
- Tell authentic border stories
-
Empower our community through journalism
Our Goal
$30,000 by December 31st
