The Latin American Information Agency (ALAI) is a Latin American and Caribbean communications organization committed to peace, human rights, democratization of communication, gender equality, social justice, care for the Common Home and regional integration. It was founded in Montreal, Canada, in 1977. It currently has an office in Quito, Ecuador, and another recently created office in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

ALAI has been dedicated for 45 years to the production, edition and dissemination of systematized information, in-depth analysis and informed opinions, as well as to the promotion of the democratization of communication and digital technologies. The agency pays particular attention to the socio-political dynamics of the Latin American and Caribbean region, highlighting the perspective of people’s movements, and offering a situated and contextualized reading of events.

The alai.info website receives hundreds of thousands of visits monthly, and its newsletters are regularly distributed to tens of thousands of subscribers via email and messaging channels. ALAI’s content is republished daily by dozens of media outlets in the region and beyond.

To carry out this work, ALAI relies on the collaboration of prominent analysts, thinkers, journalists, research centers, agencies and alternative media, as well as social organizations and leaders, among others.
