. The piece was written by actors America Ferrera, Eva Longoria, Olga Segura, and Diane Guerrero, as well as writer Alex Martinez Kondracke and activist Mónica Ramírez and signed by nearly 200 supporters, including Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

“We have been smeared by political rhetoric and murdered in violent hate crimes,” the letter reads. “We have been separated from our families and watched our children caged. We have been targeted with mass shootings and mass ICE raids meant to terrify us, squash our hopes, and break our spirits.”The letter goes on to offer support from the undersigned to any Latinx people: “We will not be silenced,” the letter reads.

In its closing remarks, the supporters of the letter call for action, and ask for allies to speak up, expressing, “We need you. We cannot make change without your voices and action. We call on you to speak out loudly against hate, to contribute your resources to organizations that support our community, and to hold our leaders accountable.”

In a public statement, Longoria explained that a “moral crisis in our country” had spurred the letter’s creation. “Integrity starts with looking in the mirror and this letter calls on everyone, not just our community, to choose humanity and decency over hate and violence,” she explained.
