Using the hashtag #MovementMondays, the 31-year-old [_Jane the Virgin_ actress](http://time.com/3663194/golden-globes-2015-jane-the-virgin-gina-rodriguez-speech/) plans to highlight various Latino members of the television and film industry. [Rodriguez](http://motto.time.com/4196066/gina-rodriguez-body-image/) spoke about the [problems facing Latinos in Hollywood](http://time.com/3716648/why-cant-hollywood-tell-americas-stories/) in a [post on WhoSay](http://www.whosay.com/status/ginarodriguez/1183450?wsref=tw&code=asPbrHG) Monday, nodding to the backlash over the Oscar nominations’ lack of diversity. --- > “” --- **Read More:** [**See the Entire History of the Oscars Diversity Problem in One Chart**](http://time.com/4185071/oscars-diversity/) Rodriguez went on to say that the first person she had chosen to feature in the movement was Oscar Isaac and explained that she believed the Guatemalan American actor had an Oscar-worthy performance in _Ex Machina_. She then encouraged all Latinos to stay strong and keep supporting each other. “Each Monday I will highlight a Latino actor we can support,” she said. “Let us use our numbers and powerful voices to prove we support one another, to prove we can make a box office hit, to prove they need to support all the various Latino cultures in the media. That can be one part of the solution, so next year we have many movies that are worthy of Oscar contention!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4193254/gina-rodriguez-movement-mondays-latino-actors/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4193254/gina-rodriguez-movement-mondays-latino-actors/"},"headline":"Gina Rodriguez Launches a Diversity Movement for Latino Actors in Wake of Oscars Backlash","datePublished":"2016-01-25T22:46:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:13.722Z","description":"\"My solution is this, support is needed\"","url":"https://time.com/4193254/gina-rodriguez-movement-mondays-latino-actors/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Actors","Diversity","Oscar Isaac","Latinos","jane the virgin"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4c4b217068502d7c/69887a7e8e060113cf464465/gina-rodriguez-movement-mondays-latinos.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4c4b217068502d7c/69887a7e8e060113cf464465/gina-rodriguez-movement-mondays-latinos.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Gina Rodriguez Movement Mondays Latinos","caption":"Actress Gina Rodriguez attends the 67th Emmy Awards at Microsoft Theater on September 20, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.","creditText":"Alberto E.
