Carson City, NV – Today, Nevada
Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced he has joined efforts with the Consul
of Mexico in Las Vegas, Julian Escutia, to send a message of support to the
Hispanic and immigrant community with four public service announcement (PSA) videos.
Over the next several weeks, the
Office of the Nevada Attorney General and the Mexican Consulate will share the
PSA videos (recorded in Spanish) that focus on domestic violence, human
trafficking, fraud prevention and notario fraud in an effort to reach the most
vulnerable in these communities.
“As Attorney
General, it is my job to ensure rights of every Nevadan are protected, said
AG Ford.“We will continue to work with the Mexican consulate to drive that
message home to the Hispanic and immigrant communities here in our state.”
The goal of the PSA campaign is
to reassure every Nevadan, regardless of their immigration status, they have
rights and make them aware that they may benefit from resources and programs
offered by the Attorney General’s Office, the Consulate of Mexico, and other
organizations.
The PSA’s will air on Telemundo
and Univision and shared on the social media accounts for both the Mexican
Consulate and the Nevada Attorney General’s Office. View the PSA’s online here.
