** Back in mid-2019 we included Oregon representative Diego Hernandez as part of the first edition of our Latinx Leaders: Hidden Power zine because of his extensive service to our communities. In May 2020, allegations surfaced against Hernandez that Portland Through a Latinx Lens takes very seriously. Although the investigation is ongoing, we feel the need to remove him from our Latinx Leaders zine, as we strongly oppose the actions of which he has been accused. We ask for justice and healing for those who may have been harmed as a result of these alleged actions. 

We have been actively reflecting on how to utilize the remaining physical copies that include representative Hernandez, and decided on exhausting our remaining zines. Future physical copies will reflect this change, as well as our digital copy.
