Hillary Clinton and Univision have joined together to work on a new initiative for Hispanic children, allowing the prospective 2016 Democratic candidate to partner with the massively popular Spanish-language network.
This week, Clinton introduced a new effort with Univision, called Pequeรฑos y Valiosos, a project of her โToo Small to Failโ initiative for early-childhood issues that will focus on helping Hispanic children five years and younger to develop language skills.
As the Washington Post notes, โthe agreement with Univision provides her with a bridge to the nationโs fast-growing and politically influential Hispanic community.โ Univision consistently ranks among the most-watched networks on American television, often beating English-language networks.
Clinton has a longstanding relationship with Univision chairman Haim Saban, who has given millions to the Democratic party over the years, and has been described by Bill Clinton as a โvery good friend and supporter.โ In 2008, Saban endorsed the former first lady and New York senator in the Democratic primary against Barack Obama.
Univision will be running public-service announcements in Spanish promote Clintonโs Too Small to Fail project.
โOur Spanish language partnership will help Hispanic parents, grandparents and caregivers help to get their own children ready for school,โ Clinton said at an event this week in New York with Mayor Bill de Blasio. โWhat we want to do is help bring that information to families so that while they are caring for the children they love . . . they are talking to them, singing to them, helping them succeed.โ
