While the government remains complicit in a massive human rights violation along U.S. borders, at least one person in Hollywood is trying to make life better for immigrants.
Gina Rodriguez, star of Jane the Virgin, convinced The CW to spend the funds for its Emmy campaign on a Latinx teen's college tuition.

Now that's perspective.
"It's taboo to talk about the money being spent, but it's the reality," Rodriguez told The Hollywood Reporter. "I think sharing this might inspire other people to do something similar. You can desire recognition and, at the same time, decide to not play in the confines of the game as it's set up."
Though she was hesitant to make the scholarship announcement public, Rodriguez's actions show Hollywood's power to make real change when many around the country feel powerless to help with current affairs.
"Our show has always jumped at any opportunity to help me do something for the Latinx community," said Rodriguez. "So I asked my showrunner, Jennie [Snyder Urman], if we could do something different with the money this year."
