The Latino/a Education Network Service (LENS) believes that media is a powerful tool for documenting the stories of Latino/a communities and encouraging progressive social change. LENS supports educational media projects that advance knowledge about the Puerto Ricans and Latino/a experience in the United States. Through community events, workshops and media projects, LENS promotes awareness and social justice.

www.us-PuertoRicans.org is a multimedia web-based community devoted to the Puerto Rican Diaspora with sections on history, arts and culture, community and politics. It provides news, articles, petitions, announcements, and video clips that promote participation and dialogue across geographic and generational lines.

LENS also distributes !Palante, Siempre Palante! the Young Lords, a documentary about the organization and its activities. The Young Lords captured the public imagination in the late 1960s.They represented a new awakening of Puerto Rican radicalism organizing community campaigns for economic, racial, and gender equality. Their actions put Puerto Rican and Latino/a concerns on the social justice agenda in the United States and internationally.
