The people of McAllen, Tx are challenging expectations about what can be achieved by a majority-Latino community. This is our American story.

The news has made our home into a headline. The people of #McAllen know there’s another side to the story;a story about what life is really like on a TX-Mexico border. Our streets are safe, our economy is strong & our tables will always have an open place for you.#anothersideofus

.@universal_punk: One big misconception about the RGV is that it is always missing something, or is less than. The creation of a music festival that helps talented artists level up and provides easy access for community members challenges that. https://t.co/gx8IBw6Xc9

[Texas Monthly @TexasMonthly]

.@MXLANfestival is the biggest festival of its kind to center around a narrative of Mexican culture and its influence, and the fact that performances were free and accessible went a long way toward supporting the local community. https://t.co/gx8IBw6Xc9

"We should listen because for them, the border is not a photo op or a make-good on a partisan promise. It is home." Juan Castillo's column is a powerful reminder of why our story is just getting started. #anothersideofus

This is the start of a community project to show the world what life is really like in a border city like McAllen.
There’s never been a more important time to tell the world your story. #anothersideofus

@45for8 @larsrjs44 @gmwlyo @RepEscobar Based on most recent FBI violent crime to population statistics McAllen (85.6% hispanic) is more than 2.79x safer the San Jose (32.1% hispanic). Have you ever been to McAllen, TX? https://t.co/CYk5G6aAyB
