Utilizamos nuestra investigación para guiar a quienes trabajan directamente con las comunidades en la elaboración de narrativas, ejercicios de inoculación, talleres de despolarización, capacitación en alfabetización digital y mediática, u otras intervenciones. También conectamos lo que ha funcionado en un contexto con otros contextos.
DDIA está trabajando para mejorar la toma de decisiones institucionales anclando políticas a las necesidades de los latinos y centrando las voces de los latinos estadounidenses y latinoamericanos en discusiones que tradicionalmente han estado aisladas o dominadas por Estados Unidos y Europa.
