HERMISTON — Early in the pandemic, Jose Garcia said most of the stories told about COVID-19 on Radio La Ley’s “La Voz Del Pueblo” (The Voice of the People) were of fear and misconception. Slowly, more residents tuned in each Sunday, sharing stories of COVID-19 on a weekly hourlong section of the radio show called “Acción Rural Hispana,” which Garcia hosts. It became clear to Garcia how the show would be a valuable resource bringing answers to the Spanish and Mam dialect-speaking community — how to stay safe, what common symptoms of COVID-19 are and where to get help. “We were trying to figure out how this was going to affect the Latino community,” Garcia, chair of the Hispanic Advisory Committee in Hermiston, said. “But we didn’t know to what extent it would.”
