“
I wish I was there.” This is what Puerto Rican activist Charito Morales told WHYY when the publication asked her for her thoughts on the protests in Puerto Rico against Ricardo Rosselló. At the time, many Puerto Ricans in the city sat worried about the outcome of the island’s growing tensions. Rosselló was refusing to step down and demonizing the protesters. In reaction, many Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia — under the leadership of Morales, Ana Montañez of Voces del Barrio, Kimberly Lamberti of Latinos en Marcha and Rev. Jesse Alejandro (just to name a few) — organized in solidarity with their fellow brethren on the island. Morales organized the first protest on the morning of July 16, in front of where she works at the Providence Center in Fairhill. Much like in the streets of San Juan, attendees brought signs emblazoned with #RickyRenuncia and chanted for Puerto Rico’s freedom from Rosselló’s corruption.
ENGLISH ESPAÑOL The protests in Philly continued until Rosselló resigned, upon which, a celebration was organized on Friday, Aug. 2 in Fairhill Square Park by Montañez, Lamberti and Alejandro. It was a cathartic moment for all Puerto Ricans, and those in Philly celebrated the victory just as much as those on the island, deservedly so. For Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia and the diaspora as a whole, the fate of the island going forward is their struggle as well - and in the event the new administration doesn’t follow through with promises to curb corruption, they will surely rejoin their fellow Puerto Ricans in another show of the people’s power.z - THE EDITOR

"
Ojalá estuviera allí." Dijo la activista puertorriqueña Charito Morales a WHYY cuando la publicación le preguntó qué pensaba sobre las protestas en Puerto Rico, contra Ricardo Rosselló. En ese momento, muchos puertorriqueños en la ciudad estaban preocupados por el resultado de las crecientes tensiones en la isla. Rosselló se negaba a renunciar y demonizaba a los manifestantes. En respuesta, muchos puertorriqueños en Filadelfia -bajo el liderazgo de Morales, Ana Montañez de Voces del Barrio, Kimberly Lamberti de Latinos en Marcha y el reverendo Jesse Alejandro (solo por nombrar algunos)- se organizaron en solidaridad con sus hermanos en el isla.
La mañana del 16 de julio, Morales organizó la primera protesta frente a su trabajo en el Providence Center en Fairhill. Al igual que en las calles de San Juan, los asistentes trajeron carteles estampados con #RickyRenuncia y cantaron para que Puerto Rico se libere de la corrupción de Rosselló. Las protestas en Filadelfia continuaron hasta que Rosselló renunció, tras lo cual, el viernes 2 de agosto, Montañez, Lamberti y Alejandro organizaron una celebración en el parque Fairhill Square. Fue un momento catártico para todos los puertorriqueños, y aquellos en Filadelfia celebraron la victoria tanto como los de la isla, merecidamente. Para los puertorriqueños en Filadelfia y la diáspora en general, el destino de la isla en el futuro también es su lucha. En caso de que la nueva administración no cumpla con las promesas de frenar la corrupción, seguramente se unirán a sus compañeros Puertorriqueños en otra muestra del poder del pueblo.z - EL EDITOR

magine for a second that you’re in your home, watching TV and enjoying dinner when you get an unexpected knock at your door. You answer to find an unknown individual telling you to move out to make way for new development in your community. It’s a reality many in the Norris Square neighborhood have had to grapple with for the past couple of years. “How would you feel?” asked Jackie, a block captain in the neighborhood who spoke at a recent community protest of gentrification held on Aug. 8. The many construction sites, full of constant hammering and buzzing saws, that once dotted Northern Liberties and Fishtown have crept north on the Market-Frankford line to the predominantly Latino community.
or un momento imagine que está en su casa, viendo televisión y disfrutando de la cena cuando inesperadamente alguien toca en su puerta. Al abrir la puerta, se encuentra con un desconocido que le dice que debe mudarse porque habrá un nuevo proyecto en su comunidad. Es una realidad con la que muchos en Norris Square han tenido que pelear en los últimos dos años. “¿Cómo se sentiría usted?” preguntó Jackie, una capitana de cuadra de este vecindario que hizo una intervención en una reciente protesta de la comunidad contra la gentrificación el 8 de agosto. Las numerosas áreas de construcción, llenas de constante martilleo y del zumbido de las sierras, que alguna vez se esparcieron por todo Northern Liberties y Fishtown, se han arrastrado por Market-Frankford hasta la comunidad predominantemente latina. Para muchos que observan la situación desde afuera, este movimiento se ve como un símbolo de progreso al revitalizar partes de la ciudad que lo necesitan. Pero para aquellos residentes que han vivido en Norris Square durante la mayor parte de sus vidas, esto delata la gentrificación que ha caracterizado a la parte baja de noreste de Filadelfia en la última década. El jueves 8 de agosto, los residentes, liderados por la Red

For many looking from the outside in, this movement is seen as a sign of progress being made at revitalizing parts of the city in need. But for those residents who’ve lived in Norris Square for most of their lives, it is a telltale sign of the gentrification that has defined the past decade in the lower northeast of Philadelphia. On Thursday, Aug. 8, those residents — led by the Norris Square Community Action Network — held a demonstration at the corner of Norris and Howard streets to make their voices heard in the piecemeal development of their neighborhood. The target of the protest was Onion Flats, a nearby developer with plans to turn a deserted factory on the block into an 88-unit apartment building. Nilda Pimentel, one of the protest organizers stressed that residents are not stubborn to the idea of change and development, but the amount of units planned by Onion Flats is unsustainable. “This community and many other communities can not continue to absorb density,” said Pimentel. As a compromise to the 88unit plan, the community requested Onion Flats downsize the project to only 56 units. But density isn’t the only problem.
AUGUST 21 - 28, 2019
“This is not the first and it’s not going to be the last development.” “Este no es el primer proyecto de construcción ni será el último”. Nilda Pimentel
INCOME DISPARITY
In a community where the average income is approximately $23,400 a year, the asking price per month for a one-bedroom unit in the new apartments is $1,400. Cheri Honkala, a former Green Party candidate for Vice President and longtime activist for the homeless in Philly laid bare what this disparity looks like from a majority of the neighborhood’s perspective. “They’re preparing for the rich people in this community ,” said Honkala. “They’re preparing to take away the culture of this community.”
CALLING ON THE CITY
Beyond the Onion Flats, the demonstration on Aug. 8 was also a call to the city to reform its zoning laws and tax abatement legislation, which according to literature distributed by protest organizers, “tilt the scales to developers with deep pockets.” City Council put off reforming Philly’s 10-year tax abatement until it returns from its summer recess in September. Until their voices are heard, Norris Square will keep fighting. “This is not the first and it’s not going to be the last development,” said Pimentel. z
de Acción de la Comunidad de Norris Square, llevaron a cabo una manifestación en la esquina de las calles Norris y Howard para hacer sentir sus voces contra el desarrollo gradual de proyectos de construcción en su vecindario. La protesta se dirigía a Onion Flats, una constructora ubicada en el área que planea convertir una fábrica abandonada de la cuadra en un edificio de apartamentos de 88 unidades. Nilda Pimentel, una de las organizadoras de la protesta enfatizó que los residentes no totalmente en contra del cambio y el desarrollo, pero el número de unidades planeadas por Onion Flats es insostenible. “Esta comunidad y muchas otras no pueden seguir absorbiendo la densidad”, dijo Pimentel. Como señal de compromiso con el proyecto de 88 unidades, la comunidad solicitó que se redujera el número a solo 56 unidades. Sin embargo, la densidad no es el único problema.
DISPARIDAD EN LOS INGRESOS
En esta comunidad donde el ingreso promedio es de aproximadamente $23,400 al año, el precio mensual de una unidad con una habitación en los nuevos apartamentos es de $1.400 al mes. Cheri Honkala, un antiguo candidato de Green Party a la vicepresidencia y activista por mucho tiempo de las personas sin hogar en Filadelfia reveló como ve la mayoría de los vecinos desde su
perspectiva esta disparidad. “Saben que llegarán personas ricas a la comunidad” dijo Honkala. “Saben que se llevarán la cultura de la comunidad”.
LLAMADO A LA CIUDAD La manifestación del 8 de agosto va más allá. Fue también un llamado para que la ciudad reformara su legislación en cuanto a la zonificación y reducción de impuestos; que, de acuerdo con la información distribuida por los organizadores de la protesta, “inclinaba la balanza hacia los desarrolladores de proyectos con grandes bolsillos”. El Concejo de la Ciudad pospuso la reforma a la reducción de impuestos de 10 años de Filadelfia hasta que regresara de su receso de verano en septiembre. Norris Square seguirá luchando hasta que su voz sea escuchada. “Este no es el primer proyecto de construcción ni será el último” dijo Pimentel.z

ENGLISH
t’s no secret that cruelty is the centerpiece of Donald Trump’s immigration policy. Everybody knows it, although there are many – too many -- who shamefully either choose to ignore it or, worse, support it. What would be aberrant behavior at any other time, under Trump’s regime has become official policy: Children are the main target of this administration’s brutality which has gone as far as ripping babies from their mothers’ arms as a “deterrent” (Trump’s word) for migrants from Central America. Surprisingly only to someone as vulgar and ignorant as Trump and his minions, such inhumane measures have failed miserably. Thousands of people – men, women and children-- from Honduras, Guatemala and El
Salvador keep making the death-defying trek from their countries to the U.S. border and will keep doing so as long as runaway violence, abject poverty and entrenched corruption in their countries, much of it created, abetted or enabled by U.S. policies, force them to flee to save their lives. The lack of values, the disrespect for human lives, the perversion of morality of Trump and his administration is nowhere clearer than in the fact that, according to a Justice Department report made public by Representative Ted Deutch, (D-Fl) in February, and reported by the New York Times, there were 4,500 complaints in four years about the sexual harassment and abuse of immigrant children in U.S custody. Horrible, of course. But then again, what else can be expected when the person who occupies the White House is a self-confessed sexual harasser of women, whose blatant racism categorized refuge-seeking families as less than human? "These aren't people. These are animals," Trump said back in May. At the risk of insulting animals, I would say the only animal here, a particularly brutal and destructive one, lives in the White House. z

o es ningún secreto que la crueldad es la pieza central de la política de inmigración de Donald Trump. Todo el mundo lo sabe, aunque hay muchos, demasiados, que vergonzosamente eligen ignorarlo o, lo que es peor, apoyarlo. Lo que sería un comportamiento aberrante en cualquier otro momento, bajo el régimen de Trump, se ha convertido en política oficial: los niños son el objetivo principal de la brutalidad de esta administración, que ha llegado hasta a arrancar a los bebés de los brazos de sus madres como un "elemento disuasorio" (palabra de Trump) para migrantes de América Central. Sorprendente solo para gente tan vulgar e ignorante como Trump y sus secuaces, tales medidas inhumanas han fallado miserablemente. Miles de hombres, mujeres y niños de Honduras, Guatemala y El Salvador siguen haciendo una jornada que desafía a la muerte desde sus países hasta la frontera con los Estados Unidos. No importa qué medidas tome Trump, los refugiados continuarán viniendo mientras la violencia fuera de control, la pobreza extrema y la corrupción arraigada en sus países, en gran parte creadas, alentadas o habilitadas por las políticas estadounidenses, los obliguen a huir para salvar sus vidas. Nada hace más evidente la falta de valores y
de respeto por la vida humana, y la perversión de la moral de Trump y su administración, que el hecho de que, según un informe del Departamento de Justicia revelado por el representante Ted Deutch, (D-Fl) en febrero, y reportado por el New York Times, hubo 4.500 quejas en cuatro años sobre acoso sexual y abuso de niños inmigrantes bajo custodia de los Estados Unidos. Horrible, por supuesto. Pero ¿qué más se puede esperar cuando la persona que ocupa la Casa Blanca es un acosador sexual de mujeres confeso, cuyo racismo descarado ha categorizado a las familias que buscan refugio como menos que humanas? "Estas no son personas. Son animales", dijo Trump en mayo. A riesgo de insultar a los animales, yo diría que el único animal aquí, por cierto, uno particularmente brutal y destructivo, vive en la Casa Blanca. z

tion was: “Journeys… Past, Present & Future.” “When we were considering possible themes for this year’s convention, we wanted to focus on people feeling empowered by their personal stories, their own hero’s journey and to take action,” ALPFA CEO Damian Rivera, said in a statement. Each of the panels, sessions and speeches throughout the convention functioned as a way to pinpoint just that — empowerment and taking action. Adria Córdova, president of ALPFA Philadelphia, called the convention “remarkable.” “We heard from many inspiring leaders who encouraged us all to be loud and make our voices heard and be proud of who we are as a Latino community,” Adria Córdova, president of ALPFA Philadelphia, said in an email. “Given the current state of our country, it was encouraging to be with thousands of other Latinos empowering and supporting one another.” The featured speakers from the convention were: Sekou Andrews, CEO & Founder of SekouWorld Inc.; Claudia Romo Edelman, Founder of the We Are All Human Foundation; Joe Bru-

suelas, Chief Economist at RSM US, LLP; and Luis Visoso, VP Finance Worldwide Consumer Amazon. The ALPFA convention also provided an opportunity to recognize the 45 professional chapters and 160 student chapters working to connect and build the next generation of Latino professionals. The Philadelphia professional chapter was named the 2019 Chapter of the Year. “[This] is an accomplishment we are extremely proud of and would not have been possible without the support of our partners, sponsors, and dedicated members,” said Córdova. Women of ALPFA (WOA), an initiative dedicated to the professional success of Latina women, also played a significant role in the convention. The WOA program at the convention included several panels for all levels — early career, mid-career, and executive level. It also featured a luncheon panel where three esteemed Latina leaders were awarded for their trailblazing work. In addition, more than $100,000 total in scholarships were awarded to 30 deserving students across the country throughout the convention. The annual convention is just one small part of ALPFA’s mission, however. “The ALPFA Convention is just the start of empowering the Latino community,” said Rivera, noting that their objectives are centered on igniting inspiration and empowerment for Latinos to take action and use their voice to create change. The 2020 ALPFA Convention will take place in Las Vegas, NV. z
“Cuando estabamos pensando en posibles temas para la convención de este año, queríamos enfocarnos en que las personas se sintieran empoderadas por sus historias de vida, en el recorrido de su héroe interior, y en que emprendieran acción”, dijo el director de ALPFA, Damián Rivera. Cada uno de los paneles, sesiones y charlas de la convención se organizó de tal manera que apuntaran justamente a eso: empoderamiento y toma de acciones. Adria Córdova, presidente de ALPFA Filadelfia, calificó la convención de “sobresaliente”. “Escuchamos de boca de muchos líderes inspiradores cómo nos motivaron a todos a hablar fuerte y a que se escuchen nuestras voces, y a sentirnos orgullosos de ser nosotros
mismos como comunidad latina”, afirmó Adria Córdova, presidente de ALPFA Filadelfia, vía email. “Dado el estado actual de nuestro país, fue inspirador estar con miles de otros latinos empoderándose y apoyándose entre sí”. Los conferencistas de la convención fueron: Sekou Andrews, CEO y fundador de SekouWorld Inc.; Claudia Romo Edelman, fundadora de We Are All Human Foundation; Joe Brusuelas, economista en jefe de RSM US, LLP; y Luis Visoso, vicepresidente de Finanzas del Consumidor Global de Amazon. La convención de ALPFA también fue una oportunidad para reconocer las 45 organizaciones profesionales y las 160 organizaciones estudiantiles que trabajan para conectar y construir la próxima generación de profesionales latinos. La organización de profesionales de Filadelfia fue nombrada la Organización del Año de 2019. “[Este] es un logro del cual estamos extremadamente orgullosos y no hubiese sido posible sin el apoyo de nuestros socios, patrocinadores y miembros dedicados”, dijo Córdova. Las mujeres de ALPFA (WOA), en una iniciativa dedicada al éxito profesional de las mujeres latinas, también tuvieron un papel importante en la convención. El programa de WOA en la convención incluyó varios paneles para todos los niveles: inicio profesional, profesional con experiencia y nivel ejecutivo. También hubo un almuerzo con un panel de tres invitadas latinas de gran estima donde se les otorgó un reconocimiento por su trabajo innovador. Además, un total de $100.000 en becas fue entregado a 30 estudiantes meritorios en todo el país durante toda la convención. Sin embargo, la convención anual es solo una pequeña parte de la misión de ALPFA. “La convención ALPFA es solo el inicio de una comunidad latina empoderada”, dijo Rivera, anotando que sus objetivos están centrados en encender la chispa de la inspiración y empoderamiento, para que los latinos tomen acción y usen sus voces para crear cambios. La convención ALPFA 2020 tendrá lugar en Las Vegas, NV. z

OLITICAL HURRICANE SWEPT PUERTO RICO F
ENGLISH
or many Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico and living elsewhere, Governor Ricardo Rosselló was on thin ice even before the chain of events that began on July 9. The island was on the very slow road (and still is) to economic recovery after a decade of financial difficulties. What little progress was made washed away when Hurricane Maria swept across the island, taking at least 3,000 lives and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee to a mainland U.S. whose government hoped Puerto Rico sank like Atlantis as an alternative to dealing with the growing crisis.
PRIVATE CHATS SIMMER
But on Tuesday, July 9, a different kind of storm took shape over Puerto Rico. That morning, as Rosselló vacationed in France, a first series of leaked private messages exchanged between him and members of his inner circle made their rounds on social media. These first 11 messages were just the tip of the iceberg, but in them, Rosselló and his high-ranking friends, laid digital waste to some of their political opponents with a mix of memes and insults. Social media had a field day. Within the first 24 hours, both #Telegramgate (a reference to the messaging app used by the Rosselló and friends) and #RickyLeaks were trending topics on Twitter. And it would only get worse.

“A person who uses that language against a woman, whether a public figure or not, should not govern Puerto Rico.” “Una persona que usa ese lenguaje contra una mujer, sea o no una figura pública, no debe gobernar a Puerto Rico”. -Melissa Mark-Viverito
ara muchos puertorriqueños que viven en Puerto Rico y en otras partes, el gobernador Ricardo Rosselló ya caminaba sobre arena movediza antes de dar pie a la cadena de sucesos que inició el 9 de julio. La isla se encontraba (y aún se encuentra) sobre un camino muy lento hacia la recuperación económica después de una década de dificultades financieras. El poco progreso que se había logrado se detuvo cuando el Huracán María arrasó la isla, cobrando la vida de por lo menos 3,000 personas y obligando a cientos de miles a huir al continente estadounidense, cuyo gobierno esperaba que Puerto Rico se hundiera como Atlantis para no tener que lidiar con la crisis creciente.
LOS CHATS PRIVADOS COMIENZAN A HERVIR
Sin embargo, el martes, 9 de julio, otra clase de tormenta se empezó a formar sobre Puerto Rico. Esa mañana, cuando Rosselló se encontraba de vacaciones en Francia, una primera serie de mensajes privados intercambiados entre él y los miembros de su círculo íntimo se empezó a filtrar en los medios sociales. Estos primeros 11 mensajes eran apenas la punta del iceberg, pero en los mismos, Rosselló y sus amigos de alto rango, destrozaron digitalmente a algunos de sus opositores políticos con una mezcla de memes e insultos.

FBI PROBE STRIKES GOLD
A day later, on July 10, the FBI slammed its domino onto the table that was becoming Puerto Rican politics and arrested two former Rosselló officials for corruption. The arrests of former Secretary of the Department of Education Julia Keleher and former Director of the Health Insurance Administration Ángel Ávila Marrero, along with four other associates, came after an FBI investigation that was first reported on June 24 — when Ávila resigned from her post. Ávila and Keleher were charged with 32 counts each of conspiracy, wire fraud,money laundering, and theft of government funds, while the other four were indicted for conspiracy, money laundering, or both. The bombshell indictments ended Rosselló’s “first vacation in two and a half years” as he put it, but more importantly, confirmed the belief of many in Puerto Rico that his government operated outside the law. The first cracks exposed by the chats were now more pronounced. Further scandal was
12 •
sure to deepen the divide, and the island only had to wait another 24 hours.
#RICKYLEAKS ROUND TWO
On July 11, another set of private Telegram messages were released to the public from the same chat as before. This time, there were more targets and the attacks took a more discriminatory tone. In one particular message, Rosselló threatened former New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and called her a “puta,” or “whore” in English. Viverito initially drew Rosselló’s ire for criticizing Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez for supporting the notion of U.S. statehood for Puerto Rico. She responded to his threats with a statement released on Twitter denouncing Rosselló’s machismo and calling for his resignation as governor. “When a male chauvinist wants to belittle a woman, he uses words like “whore” to belittle, dehumanize and degrade her. A person who uses that language against a woman, whether a public figure or not, should not govern Puerto Rico,” wrote Viverito. Puerto Ricans took Viverito’s call for resignation to the streets of San Juan with the same message. In a press conference held on the night of July 11, Rosselló — still caught up for canceling his vacation — justified his messages in the chat as a way “to blow off steam,” but asked for forgiveness for their content. Rosselló also said he wouldn’t talk about the chats again. He had another thing coming.
LA SEGUNDA RONDA DE #RICKYLEAKS
Los medios sociales hicieron su agosto. En las primeras 24 horas, tanto #Telegramgate (una referencia al app de mensajes utilizado por Rosselló y sus amigos) y #RickyLeaks eran los temas más populares en Twitter. Y las cosas sólo se pondrían peor.
LA INVESTIGACIÓN DEL FBI TRIUNFA Un día más tarde, el 10 de julio, la FBI colocó su dominó sobre la mesa que se convertía en la política de Puerto Rico y arrestó a dos ex funcionarios de Rosselló por cargos de corrupción. Los arrestos de la ex Secretaria del Ministerio de Educación, Julia Keleher y el ex Director de Administración de Seguros médicos Ángel Ávila Marrero, junto con otros cuatro asociados, llegaron después de una investigación de la FBI sobre la que se informó por primera vez el 24 de julio, cuando Ávila renunció de su puesto. Ávila y Keleher fueron imputados, cada uno, con 32 cargos de conspiración, fraude electrónico, lavado de dinero y robo de fondos gubernamentales, mientras que los otros cuatro fueron acusados de conspiración, lavado de dinero, o ambos. Las acusaciones explosivas pusieron fin a lo que en palabras de Rosselló fueron “las primeras vacaciones en dos años y medio” que había tomado, pero sobre todo, confirmaron lo que muchos en Puerto Rico creían en cuanto a que su gobierno se manejaba al margen de la ley. Las primeras grietas expuestas por los chats ahora eran más pronunciadas. Los escándalos adicionales sin duda hacían más pronunciadas las diferencias, y la isla sólo tuvo que esperar 24 horas para que esto ocurriera.
El 11 de julio, otro conjunto de mensajes privados de Telegram, el mismo chat, se dio a conocer al público. Esta vez hubo más objetivos y los ataques asumieron un tono más discriminatorio. En un mensaje en particular, Rosselló amenazó a la ex Presidente del Consejo de la Ciudad de Nueva York, Melissa Mark-Viverito y la llamó puta. Viverito inicialmente incendió la ira de Rosselló al criticar al Presidente del Comité Nacional Demócrata Tom Perez por apoyar la noción de constitución de Puerto Rico como estado de los EE. UU. Ella respondió a sus amenazas con una declaración que publicó en Twitter denunciando el machismo de Rosselló y haciendo un llamado por su renuncia como gobernador. “Cuando un machista quiere menospreciar a una mujer, usa palabras como “puta” para menospreciar, deshumanizar y desprestigiarla. Una persona que usa ese lenguaje contra una mujer, sea o no una figura pública, no debe gobernar a Puerto Rico”, escribió Viverito. Los puertorri-

#RICKYLEAKS TO #RICKYRENUNCIA
By July 12, the protests in San Juan calling for Rosselló’s resignation were gaining steady momentum heading into the weekend as thousands of Puerto Ricans braved tear gas and occasional violence to gather outside the governor’s residence at La Fortaleza on Thursday and Friday nights. On Saturday, July 13, protesters took the driver’s seat as Puerto Rico’s Centro de Periodismo Investigativo released the motherload of leaks when it published all 889 pages of private chat messages between Rosselló and his inner circle. The leaks not only revealed how many of Rosselló’s inner circle were involved — adding three more high-ranking officials to the list — but also how this elite group felt about their work in Puerto Rico. And about Puerto Ricans in general. Overall themes, which had been revealed in snippets during
the week, were shown in full. The group disparaged and threatened their political enemies with offensive memes and violent messages, and discussed in detail public policy and how they were to manipulate public perception. They also pulled no punches when discussing Hurricane Maria. Christian Sobrino Vega, Puerto Rico’s Chief Fiscal Officer joked about the amount of bodies in the morgue after Maria and suggested their use “to feed our crows,” — a reference to their critics. On Sunday, July 21, Rosselló announced his departure as leader of his New Progressive Party and that he would not seek reelection come the next cycle in a Facebook Live stream. But he did not resign and doubled down on his intention to stay out his term, which only added fuel to the fire. Protesters had already been planning their biggest showing yet for the following Monday and the new leaks along with Rosselló’s stubborness made the day go down in Puerto Rico’s history.
queños llevaron el llamado de Viverito por la resignación de Rosselló a las calles de San Juan, con el mismo mensaje. En una conferencia de prensa celebrada el 11 de julio por la noche, Rosselló --aún pregonando que había cancelado sus vacaciones-- justificó sus mensajes en el chat como una manera de “desahogarse” pero pidió disculpas por el contenido de los mismos. Rosselló también dijo que no volvería a hablar sobre los chats. Sin embargo, lo que vendría sería todo lo opuesto.
DE #RICKYLEAKS A #RICKYRENUNCIA Para el 12 de julio, las protestas en San Juan que hacían un llamado por la renuncia de Rosselló aumentaban su ritmo y se dirigían hacia un fin de semana en el que miles de puertorriqueños hicieron frente a gases lacrimógenas y episodios ocasionales de violencia para reunirse frente a la residencia del gobernador en La Fortaleza, el jueves y viernes por la noche.
El sábado, 13 de julio, los manifestantes tomaron el volante cuando el Centro de Periodismo Investigativo de Puerto Rico publicó una enorme cantidad de filtraciones, haciendo públicas 889 páginas completas de mensajes de chat privado entre Rosselló y su círculo íntimo. Las filtraciones no sólo revelaron el involucramiento de muchos en el círculo íntimo de Rosselló --agregando a tres funcionarios de alto rango más a la lista-- sino cómo este grupo élite se sentía sobre sus labores en Puerto Rico. Y sobre los puertorriqueños en general. Los temos generales, que han sido revelados en fragmentos durante la semana, se mostraron a todas luces. El grupo despreció y amenazó a sus enemigos políticos con memes ofensivos y mensajes violentos, y conversó detalladamente sobre la política pública y cómo procedería a manipular la percepción del público. Tampoco anduvo con rodeos al hablar sobre el Huracán María. Christian Sobrino Vega, el Di-

La Marcha del Pueblo fue que unió a todos los puertorriqueños, sin importar su política o economía, bajo un solo lema que leía #RickyRenuncia. THE MARCH OF THE PEOPLE
Heeding the call of Puerto Rican superstars like Ricky Martin — who was subject to insults about his sexual orientation in the chats — Bad Bunny and Residente of Calle 13, hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans flooded the streets of San Juan in what was called “The March of the People” (Marcha del Pueblo). The protest, which was the largest in Puerto Rico’s history, lasted all day and caused the shutdown of all of the island’s major roadways. Many businesses also closed in preparation. What was unique about The March of the People was that it united all Puerto Ricans, no matter their politics or economics, under one banner that read #RickyRenuncia.

As the protest carried on over the day and into the night to the music of resistance, the world took note, and so did Rosselló. Two days after the march, Rosselló heeded the demands and announced his resignation from the governorship to become the first to do so in Puerto Rico’s history. The demonstrations after that were of celebration, but the disgraced leader still had to pick his successor.
THE REIGN OF PIERLUISI
The man chosen to succeed Rosselló and lead Puerto Rico into the future was Pedro Pierluisi. Before taking the helm, he spent eight years as the island’s non-voting member of U.S. Congress and was appointed acting Secretary of State on July 31, replacing Luis Rivera Marín, who was a participant of Rosselló’s private chat. Pierluisi came into power with a promise to stabilize country, but two days after being sworn in, his appointment was deemed unconstitutional by Puerto Rico’s Supreme Court. The court’s unanimous decision was based on the fact that Pierluisi was never sworn in to be Sec-
rector de la Fiscalía de Puerto Rico bromeó sobre la cantidad de cuerpos en la morgue después de María y sugirió que se fueran utilizados para “alimentar a nuestros cuervos”, refiriéndose a sus críticos. El domingo, 21 de julio, en una grabación por Facebook Live, Rosselló anunció su renuncia como líder de su Partido Nuevo Progresista y dijo que no volvería a presentar su candidatura de reelección para el siguiente período. Sin embargo, no renunció y duplicó su apuesta respecto a su intención de continuar ocupando su cargo hasta el final del período, echándole así más leña al fuego. Los manifestantes ya habían estado planificando la mayor manifestación hasta el momento para el lunes siguiente, y las nuevas filtraciones junto con la terquedad de Rosselló hicieron que el día fuera grabado en los libros de la historia de Puerto Rico.
LA MARCHA DEL PUEBLO
Atendiendo el llamado de las super estrellas puertorriqueñas como Ricky Martin --quien fue objeto de insultos sobre su orientación sexual en los chats --Bad Bunny y Residente of Calle 13, cientos de miles de puertorriqueños inundaron las calles de San Juan en lo que se denominó “La marcha del pueblo”. La manifestación, la más grande en la historia de Puerto Rico, duró todo el día y produjo el cierre de todas las carreteras principales de la isla. Muchos de los negocios también cerraron en preparación para la marcha. Lo singular de la Marcha del pueblo fue que unió a todos los puertorriqueños, sin importar su política o economía, bajo un solo lema que leía #RickyRenuncia. Conforme la manifestación siguió su curso a lo largo de todo el día y entrada la noche al ritmo de la resistencia, el mundo tomó nota… y Rosselló también.
Dos días después de la marcha, Rosselló atendió a las exigencias y anunció su renuncia como gobernador y se convirtió en el primero en la historia de Puerto Rico en hacerlo. Después de eso, las manifestaciones fueron de celebración, pero el líder caído en desgracia aún debía seleccionar a su sucesor.
EL REINO DE PIERLUISI
El hombre seleccionado para suceder a Rosselló y llevar a Puerto Rico hacia el futuro fue Pedro Pierluisi. Antes de tomar el mando, Pierluisi pasó ocho años fungiendo como el miembro del Congreso de EE. UU., sin derecho a voto, de la isla y fue nombrado como Secretario de estado en funciones el 31 de julio, ocupando el lugar de Luis Rivera Marín, quien participó en el chat privado de Rosselló. Pierluisi llegó al poder con la promesa de estabilizar el país, pero dos días después de su juramentación, su nombramiento fue considerado inconstitucional por la Corte Suprema de Puerto Rico. La decisión unánime de la corte se basó en el hecho que Pierluisi nunca fue juramentado como Secretario de estado por las dos cámaras del organismo del congreso de Puerto Rico. Al momento de la

retary of State by both chambers of Puerto Rico’s congressional body. At the time of the political crisis, both chambers were on recess. With that in mind, President of the Senate, Thomas Rivera Schatz, who was also vying for the governorship, brought the issue to the Supreme Court. Pierluisi’s fall meant the rise of Wanda Vázquez Garced, Puerto Rico’s Secretary of Justice.
WANDA VÁZQUEZ
On Aug. 7, just four days after Pierluisi was sworn in as Governor of Puerto Rico, Wanda Vázquez Garced went through the same process. Vázquez’s appointment comes with its fair share of speculation, considering when Rosselló resigned, she expressed on Twitter her desire not to be chosen as his successor. Vázquez has also been embroiled in her own political scandals. In 2018, she intervened on behalf of her daughter regarding a burglary and faced violations of the government’s ethics laws, but the charges were later dropped. While not facing backlash comparable to Rosselló, Vázquez also faced calls for her own resignation during the two weeks of protests. However, she took the title of governor with the promise of eradicating corruption in the government. It’s yet to be seen whether Vázquez can follow through on her promise, but one thing’s for sure, if she doesn’t the Puerto Rican people stand ready to hit the streets once more and inspire the whole world again.z

WANDA VÁZQUEZ
El 7 de agosto, tan solo cuatro días después de que Pierluisi fuera juramentado como Gobernador de Puerto Rico, Wanda Vázquez Garced pasó por el mismo proceso. El nombramiento de Vázquez se dio con su justa medida de especulación, considerando que cuando Rosselló renunció ella expresó en Twitter que no deseaba ser seleccionada como su sucesor. Vázquez también ha estado envuelta en sus propios escándalos políticos. En 2018 intervino en nombre de su hija sobre un robo y se enfrentó a violaciones a las leyes de ética del gobierno, pero los cargos fueron retirados. Aunque no enfrentó una reacción violenta comparable con la de Rosselló, Vázquez también enfrentó llamados por su propia renuncia durante las dos semanas de protestas. No obstante, ocupó el cargo de gobernadora prometiendo erradicar la corrupción en el gobierno. Aún queda por verse si Vázquez podrá cumplir su promesa, pero hay una cosa segura y es que si no lo hace, el pueblo puertorriqueña estará listo para tomar las calles de nuevo y volver a inspirar al mundo entero.z

AUGUST 21 - 28, 2019
PORTADA Thousands took to the streets in protest day after day demanding that the then Governor Ricardo Rosselló resign. Puerto Ricans forced out Rosselló and his band of corrupt merry men and brought about a dramatic shift in the way politics has been played on the island for decades. And, in doing so, changed its history forever. As if in a Tale of Two Colonies and their struggle for freedom, Hong Kong soon followed suit in the Summer of Protest. Massive demonstrations protests brought Hong Kong International Airport to a stand still, with the citizens of this quasi-Chinese colony calling for the resignation of Chief Executive Lam and independence from the mainland. What do Puerto Rico and Hong Kong have in common beyond a humiliating colonial status? A massive, unified mobilization of people from all walks of life with a searing clarity of purpose and demands for a new leadership. This leaves our Lady Freedom with just one question: When will America have the guts to do a Puerto Rico? Or maybe even a Hong Kong? Because up to now, even in the face of Trump daily giving the finger to Lady Liberty and all that she stands for, and his egregious personal conduct, the American people have cowered and acquiesced. The voices of Trump’s critics on the street have yet to reach the White House. Let’s bring in the Puerto Ricans, with their music, the chants - Somos más y no tenemos miedo (We are more and we are not afraid) - and the pots and pans. A cacerolazo limpio. Puerto Ricans know how to do it and they will - come election time. They will have Trump dancing to Bad Bunny and Residente - Afilando Cuchillos. Sharpening Knives. The power, as they say in San Juan and Hong Kong, is in the streets. America - what are you waiting for?z

Ellos forzaron a Rosselló y a su banda de corruptos a abandonar el poder y lograron un cambio dramático en la manera en la cual la política de la isla se ha jugado por décadas. Y, así, cambiaron la historia de la isla. Como en un Cuento de Dos Colonia y su lucha por la libertad, Hong Kong pronto tomó la batuta Puertorriqueña en este Verano de Protesta. Manifestaciones prodemocracia masivas llevaron al aeropuerto Internacional de Hong Kong a una paralización total, con los ciudadanos de esta antigua colonia británica a exigir la renuncia de la Ejecutiva en Jefa Lam y la independencia de China. Que tienen Puerto Rico y Hong Kong en común - más allá de la humillación de ser colonia? Un movimiento de gente de todos los

Porque hasta ahora, aun ante el hecho que a diario Trump le enseña el dedo a la Estatua de la Libertad y todo lo que ella representa, y su conducta poco presidencial, los Americanos se doblegado y aceptado su destino.

their community, the band devised a project to reach a new market. With José as first voice and guitarist, Felipe on bass, Andrés on drums, and Alejandro on guitar, Todos Santos was born. The name is a reference to the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico, held every November, and "seeks a connection with our culture that despite the distance is present in the heart of every Mexican who is far from their land,” according to the group's website. The band started playing covers of mainstream songs, but soon began to write their own lyrics. As Andrés puts it: “our genre, if you want to put it in those terms, is Latin rock but with a little bit of a social message.” This is heard in their many lyrics about corruption, poverty, and social injustices. For them it has been a challenge to stay relevant in a community with different tastes, but fortunately the public has responded positively to their music. Recently, the group had to overcome one of its biggest challenges. Three of the members were arrested by immigration on the way to Ruido Fest, a Latin Rock festival in Chicago. They had entered a contest to play at the festival, and after making it to the second round, were invited to perform in Chicago along with a host of other bands. However, the band was stopped by police for speeding on their way to the festival. The officers asked for their identification and proof of immigration status. As a result, immigration agents were called to the scene, and the three members were arrested and taken to a detention center.

"Just move. It doesn't have to be a perfect plan, and it can have no rhyme or reason at the beginning." "Solo muévase. No tiene que tener el plan perfecto, y es posible que no tenga sentido al principio".
Check out the Q&A here: What can you tell us about your background? I went to school at Temple University with a B.S. in Kinesiology. I did my internship at the Sporting Club at the Bellevue, where I met many great people and learned a lot about the personal training industry.
What and/or who inspired you to enter the health & fitness world? I love sports and helping people feel empowered. I thought I would continue on to Physical Therapy School, but really enjoyed the rapport I could build with clients, and see the progress they could achieve with my help.
What advice would you give to someone who, fitness, may not be a big part of their life? Why is fitness important? Just move. It doesn’t have to be the perfect plan, and it can have no rhyme or reason at the beginning.

Dele una mirada a las preguntas y respuestas aquí: ¿Qué nos puede decir sobre su educación? Asistí a la Universidad Temple donde recibí mi grado en Kinesiología. Hice mi internado en el Sporting Club de Bellevue, donde conocí muchas personas maravillosas y aprendí sobre la industria del entrenamiento personal.
¿Qué o quién lo inspira a entrar en el mundo de la salud y el entrenamiento físico? Me encantan los deportes y ayudar a las personas a sentirse empoderadas. Pensé en continuar en la Escuela de Terapia Física, pero realmente disfruté de la sintonía que tejimos con los clientes, y ver el progreso que pudieron lograr con mi ayuda.
¿Qué concejo le daría alguien para el cual el entrenamiento físico no es una gran parte de su vida? ¿Por qué es importante? Solo muévase. No tiene que tener el plan perfecto, y AUGUST 21 - 28, 2019
ENFOQUE Then it becomes part of your lifestyle, and it’s always good to get an expert’s advice, and make sure you’re not doing anything that could injure yourself. Fitness is important because we want to be self dependent as we age, and be able to move with confidence just to be able to do the activities of daily living. Strength is healthcare.
Can you talk a little bit about Elevate Health? Elevate Health & Performance started as a personal training studio, and has expanded into an integrated health facility where in addition to personal training, we do physical therapy, dietician services, and massage. We want to deliver health, and have a vision for a holistic practice where we rethink how health is delivered.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve encountered as a young entrepreneur? Trying to wear all the hats in business. It’s easy to do all of the minutiae of everyday tasks. It’s more important to set up processes, and be able to step aside to let other people grow. Work on the business, not just in the business.
If you were not in the wellness field, where do you see yourself? I would be in the restaurant and hospitality industry. I enjoy great food, people, and service. I actually don’t consider myself in the fitness industry, but in the hospitality industry. I like to treat people as the individual as they are.
Where do you hope to see Elevate Health five years down the line? Is expansion potentially on the horizon? I see elevate Health & Performance being a one stop shop for health. My next growth opportunity is to have an in-house doctor and psychologist to be a well-rounded holistic practice. Having a doctor will elevate us to truly be able to deliver health. We want to get as far from a gym as possible, be able to provide careers for people, and be of great service to our community.

s the nation’s birthplace, Philadelphia embodies the American Dream through its red-hot tenacity, towering white architecture, and blue-ribbon innovation. But beyond this, it’s Philadelphia’s international communities and world heritage that have established its reputation as a pioneer on the global stage. For everyone interested in celebrating this legacy, the City of Philadelphia and Global Philadelphia Association (GPA) will host the fourth annual World Heritage City Celebration Dinner on September 5, 2019 to honor the international work that has made Philadelphia a beacon of modern democracy. Held at the Wanamaker Building’s Crystal Tea Room, this year’s event is co-chaired by Visit Philly President & CEO Jeff Guaracino and Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce CEO & President Jennifer Rodríguez, and will feature international entertainment. In years past, these global acts have embodied the diversity of Philadelphia’s identity, featuring everything from tango and dragon dance troupes to live didgeridoo performances and Caribbean music. Most importantly, the Dinner will honor Vernon Odom, who became invaluably

ENGLISH ingrained in the fabric of Philadelphia through his 42year career as a WPVI-TV/6abc broadcast journalist. Reporting with his trademark booming voice, Odom’s extensive career has taken him around the world, covering everything from Nelson Mandela’s prison release to the Soviet Union’s fall. Odom will be joined on-stage at the Dinner by his long-time colleague, Jim Gardner, for a conversation about his career, including his work in Latin America, Europe and Africa. The World Heritage Celebration Dinner was created in 2016 and continues to honor the iconic heritage and international populations that have made Philadelphia the first World Heritage City in the United States. Spearheaded by GPA, Philadelphia achieved its World Heritage City status on November 6, 2015, in recognition of its exceptional universal value and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Independence Hall. Over the years, GPA and its members have used this momentum to galvanize the community around owning and celebrating how their own heritage has placed them on the map. This was most recently captured through the launch of the National Historic Landmark (NHL) Mapping Project in July. Highlighting Philadelphia’s 67 NHLs, the NHL Map is available as both an illustrated print and an online database that additionally showcases community-identified heritage sites. As the backbone of Philadelphia’s cultural legacy, the NHL Map serves as another vehicle to improve the community’s ability to access Philadelphia’s rich history. By adopting this international mindset, GPA and its members have helped to pioneer a new age of Philadelphia’s relations with the country and the world by expanding the city’s role on the global stage. As a World Heritage City and city of world heritages, join us at the World Heritage City Celebration Dinner in celebrating the diversity that has made this all possible.

iladelfia, lugar de nacimiento de la nación, encarna el Sueño Americano con una tenacidad fulgurante, su blanca arquitectura e innovación de primera. Pero por sobre todo, son su comunidad conformada por una mezcla internacional y tradiciones provenientes de todo el mundo lo que la ha dado su reputación como pionera dentro del actual escenario global. Para los interesados en celebrar este legado, la ciudad de Filadelfia y la Global Philadelphia Association (GPA) ofrecerá la cuarta Cena de Celebración de la Ciudad Patrimonio Cultural, que se celebra anualmente, este 5 de septiembre de 2019; para hacer honor al trabajo que ha realizado Filadelfia al convertirse en un faro de la democracia moderna. Tendrá lugar en la sala Crystal Tea Room del Wanamaker Building, este año el evento estará copresidido por el presidente y director general de Visit Philly, Jeff Guaracino, y la presidenta y directora de La Cámara de Comercio del Área Metropolitana de Filadelfia, Jennifer Rodríguez. Además, habrá entretenimiento por parte de varios países. En años pasados, estos eventos han dado forma al aspecto diverso de la identidad de Filadelfia, con presentaciones que abarcan desde grupos de tango y de danza del dragón hasta didyeridú y música caribeña interpretada en vivo. El momento más importante de esta cena será el tributo que se rendirá a Vernon Odom, periodista de WPVI-TV/6abc durante 40 años y, por lo cual, una parte invaluable de la vida y sociedad de Fialdelfia. Con su distintiva voz resonante, la extensa carrera de Odom lo ha llevado por todo el mundo, cubriendo desde la liberación de Nelson Mandela hasta la caída de la Unión Soviética. Odom estará acompañado en el escenario por
su viejo colega, Jim Gardner, en una conversación que tendrá como tema central su carrera, incluido su trabajo en Latinoamérica, Europa y África. La Cena de Celebración del Patrimonio Cultural se creó en 2016 y continúa rindiendo tributo a la herencia icónica y grupos de la población procedentes de todo el mundo que han hecho de Filadelfia la primera Ciudad Patrimonio Cultural en los Estados Unidos. Liderado por la GPA, Filadelfia logró su estatus de Ciudad de Patrimonio Mundial el 6 de noviembre de 2015 en reconocimiento de su excepcional valor universal y de, Independence Hall, Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO. Al pasar de los años, la GPA y sus miembros han aprovechado este hito para motivar a la comunidad a que se sienta dueña y celebre la herencia cultural que hace parte de su identidad. Recientemente esto quedó plasmado en el lanzamiento del Proyecto Mapas de Monumentos Históricos Nacionales (NHL) en julio. Allí quedaron resaltados los 67 NHL de Filadelfia. El mapa de los NHL está disponible en formato impreso y como una base de datos en línea que adicionalmente muestra sitios de herencia cultural identificados por la comunidad. Siendo la columna de la herencia cultural de Filadelfia, el mapa de los NHL sirve como otro vehículo para mejorar la conexión de la comunidad con la riqueza de la historia de Filadelfia. Con esta perspectiva internacional en mente, la GPA y sus miembros han contribuido al avance hacia una nueva era en las relaciones de Filadelfia con el país y con el mundo, al expandir el papel que juega la ciudad dentro de escenario mundial. En la Ciudad Patrimonio Cultural y la ciudad de culturas del mundo, únase a nosotros en la Cena de Celebración de la Ciudad Patrimonio Cultural para celebrar la diversidad que lo hizo posible.

Denmark couldn’t just go ahead and do that,” said Larsen.

L DÍA had the privilege of hosting a reception last weekend with the leaders of six organizations of Latino professionals in Philadelphia. They are the Latinos who have become Engineers, Medical Doctors, Lawyers, Nurses, and MBAs, and have been working in corporations and organizations across the region for years. And yet they are largely invisible to the general public. They are, however, a true crop of new leaders: Jazmin Reyes, the president of the Philadelphia chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, and program manager at Eaton Corporation. Moises P. Young, program manager at AECOM, and another engineer with two degrees from Drexel University. Elizabeth Oquendo, president of the Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania, and director of the Conflict of Interest program at the Temple University School of Medicine. Brunilda Sanchez, the President of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, Philadelphia chapter, and experienced professional nurse working for Bayada Home Health Care. Adria Córdova, President of the local chapter of the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA), and business executive at General Mills Corporation.

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL University Hospital, and president of the Society of Ibero Latin American Medical Professionals (SILAMP). We all agree that our story, the story of the growing ranks of Latino professionals in the region, is not documented enough. "We are literally “undocumented,” I said in jest. Not because of the absence of credentials, or documents, but because our stories, not documented anywhere, make us invisible. “Undocumented.” AL DÍA made a commitment to all of them to make their stories a priority in our news coverage. We will start this coming month of October with a special event and edition recognizing the Law Professionals. #ALDÍALawyersForumand Reception, with Guest of Honor Juan Sánchez, Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, will be hosted this coming October 1st at the Pyramid Club. Don’t miss it!z

L DIA tuvo el privilegio de ser anfitrión de una recepción con los líderes de las 6 organizaciones de profesionales latinos de Filadelfia. Ellos son los Latinos que se han convertido en Ingenieros, Doctores en Medicina, en Leyes, en Enfermeras, en MBA, y que han estado trabajando para corporaciones y organizaciones a lo largo de la región por años Por puro esfuerzo personal y sin que nadie se diera cuenta. Todos ellos son, sin embargo, una verdadera cosecha de nuevos líderes: Jazmin Reyes, la presidente del capítulo de Filadelfia de la “Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers,” y líder de programa en Eaton Corporation Moisés P. Young, líder de programa en AECOM, y otro ingeniero con 2 grados de ingeniería la Universidad Drexel. Elizabeth Oquendo, presidente de la “Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania,” y directora del Programa de Conflicto of Intereses de la Escuela de Medicina de Temple.
Brunilda Sanchez, la presidente de la Asociación Nacional de la Asociación de Enfermeras, capítulo de Filadelfia, y enfermera experimentada en “Bayada Home Health Care.” Adria Córdova, Presidente del capítulo local de la “Association of Latino Professionals for America,” ALPFA, y ejecutiva de negocios de la corporación General Mills. Natalia Ortiz, directora de medicina psiquiátrica del Hospital de Temple, y presidente de la “Society of Ibero Latin American Medical Professionals”, (SILAMP). Todos estuvimos de acuerdo de que nuestra historia, la historia de creciente generación de profesionales latinos de la región, no está documentada. Somos literalmente “indocumentados”, les dije en broma. No porque no poseamos las credenciales, o los documentos, sino porque nuestras historias, no documentadas en ninguna parte, nos hace invisibles. “Indocumentados”. AL DIA hizo un compromiso con ellos de hacer que sus actividades sean prioridad de nuestro cubrimiento noticioso Empezaremos este próximo mes de octubre con un evento y edición especial a los profesionales de la leyes El Foro y Recepción de #ALDIALawyers, con el Juez Juan Sánchez, Jefe de Corte Federal del Distrito del Este de Pensilvania, como invitado de honor, tendrá lugar el 1 de octubre en el

The story of the growing ranks of Latino professionals in the region is yet to be documented. La historia del creciente número de los profesionales latinos en la región está por documentarse.
