La Jefa Radio, News Report, Posted: Nov 08, 2011

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Rivera Communications and La Jefa Radio – the largest Spanish language radio station in Alabama – has launched “14 Cities, 14 Days, One Family, One Alabama,” an unprecedented effort to get Alabamans of all backgrounds and from all walks of life talking to one another about Alabama’s new immigration law.

José Antonio Castro, program director for La Jefa Radio station and radio personality Orlando Rosa, will walk along “Route 56” for six hours each day through 14 cities over 14 days to conduct interviews and to broadcast a three-hour live program which will be heard by listeners in up to 85 cities throughout Alabama and the United States, as well as listeners in Mexico, Colombia, and Puerto Rico.

“I want to encourage dialogue between my Spanish-speaking listeners and Alabamans from different backgrounds," Castro said. "We need to speak to each other instead of speaking past each other – I hope that our walk and our conversations will help bring Alabamans together.”

The walk began on Monday, Nov. 07, in Athens, Ala. and will end on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2011 at the state capitol in Montgomery, Ala.
