ENGLISH

he United States of America may have officially booted monarchy from its shores in 1783, but the Democracy that’s taken shape over the past 238 years has shown a tendency to also rely on certain families to lead on all matters political.

At the national level throughout history, there have been the Adams, the Roosevelts, the Kennedys, the Bushes, and Clintons, to name a few.

At the state and municipal levels, there are even more that form dominant dynasties that can last for decades for either party.

In Nashville, Tennessee, that dynasty is known as the Cooper family. Currently, Coopers occupy both the Mayor’s office of Nashville and Tennessee’s 4th U.S. Congressional District seat with brothers John and Jim Cooper.

Before them, their father, Prentice Cooper, was Governor of Tennessee and his father, William Prentice Cooper, was the Mayor of Shelbyville, Tennessee and the Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Rep. Jim Cooper has been in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2003. He has long been a moderate Democrat, and a member of the Party’s Blue Dog Coalition.

The subject of this week’s AL DÍA cover story is set to give a run for his money in 2022.

Odessa Kelly comes from a completely different Democratic Party than Cooper, but it’s one that builds more and more political clout with each passing election.

Whether it be the squad of Reps. AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, 2020 newcomers like Reps. Mondaire Jones, Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush, or those that failed but came close like Charles Booker, the growth of the progressive bloc of the Democratic Party is inevitable.

Built on the backs of predominantly young voters of color, it looks a lot like the campaign Kelly is running and the Nashville she represents. It’s not one Cooper or his dynasty represent or arguably ever get the chance to after 2022. z

P

uede que los Estados Unidos expulsaran oficialmente a la monarquía del continente en 1783, pero la democracia que ha reinado en los últimos 238 años ha mostrado también una tendencia a depender de ciertas familias a la hora de liderar el poder político.

A nivel nacional, están los Adams, los Roosevelt, los Kennedy, los Bush y los Clinton, por nombrar algunas.

A nivel estatal y municipal hay incluso más, formando dinastías dominantes que pueden permanecer en el poder durante décadas.

En Nashville, Tennessee, esta dinastía está representada por la familia Cooper. En la actualidad, los Cooper -representados por los hermanos John y Jim Cooper ocupan la alcaldía de Nashville y el escaño del distrito 4 del Congreso de los Estados Unidos de Tennessee.

Antes que ellos, su padre, Prentice Cooper, fue gobernador de Tennessee y su abuelo, William Prentice Cooper, fue alcalde de Shelbyville, Tennessee y presidente de la Cámara de Representantes de Tennessee.

El congresista Jim Cooper ha ocupado su escaño en la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos desde 2003. Ha sido durante mucho tiempo un demócrata moderado y miembro de la llamada Coalición Perro Azul, un caucus de tendencia conservadora.

El tema de portada de esta semana en AL DÍA ha sido concebido para demostrar que las cosas pueden cambiar en 2022.

Odessa Kelly proviene de una sección del partido Demócrata completamente diferente a la de Cooper, una sección que precisamente ha ido ganando más y más influencia política en las elecciones de los últimos años.

Desde el escuadrón formado por los representantes AOC, Ilhan Omar y Rashida Tlaib, los representantes que se incorporaron en 2020, como Mondaire Jones, Jamaal Bowman y Cori Bush, o los que fracasaron pero se unieron, como Charles Booker, el crecimiento del bloque progresista del partido Demócrata es inevitable.

Construido sobre las espaldas de votantes predominantemente jóvenes y de color, guarda un gran parecido con la campaña política de Kelly y el Nashville que representa. Y no es precisamente el Nashville que Cooper o su dinastía representan ni posiblemente tengan posibilidad de representar a partir de 2022. z

DR. JASON WINGARD IN CHARGE ON JUNE 7, DR. WINGARD MADE HISTORY WHEN HE WAS ANNOUNCED AS TEMPLE UNIVERSITY’S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT. EL PASADO 7 DE JUNIO, EL DR. WINGARD HIZO HISTORIA AL CONVERTIRSE EN EL PRIMER PRESIDENTE NEGRO DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE TEMPLE. By | Por: NIGEL THOMPSON | AL DÍA Deputy Editor

ENGLISH

une 7, 2021 will go down in the history books for Temple University. In its 137year history, the North Philadelphia university has never had a Black president until now.

In an announcement, the university named Dr. Jason Wingard as its next president after a unanimous vote from its board of trustees. It also comes after a 10-month nationwide search that involved a 18-person presidential search committee.

Wingard comes to North Philadelphia from Columbia University, where he was dean and dean emeritus of its School of Professional Studies. He was also a professor of human capital management at the school.

AN EXPERIENCED LEADER

Before Columbia, Wingard held a post at Goldman Sachs as a managing director and chief learning officer. In that role, he led both the Pine Street Leadership Development Group and Goldman Sachs University.

He is also a past vice dean of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and executive director of his alma mater, Stanford University’s Educational Leadership Institute.

As an academic, Wingard is a seasoned lecturer and writer on topics ranging from overall organizational strategy, learning and leadership.

“Like many of Temple’s faculty, Dr. Wingard combines academic accomplishments with real-world experience. That’s been a hallmark of Temple’s education for generations,” Mitchell L. Morgan, the chair of Temple’s board of trustees, said in a press release about Wingard’s appointment.

The West Chester native will officially take the post from Dr. Richard Englert on July 1, who leaves Temple after 45 years at the university, five of those coming as its president.

For the outgoing president, he promised a smooth transition over the next couple weeks as Wingard prepares to take over.

l 7 de junio de 2021 quedará marcado en los libros de historia de la universidad de Temple. A lo largo de sus 137 años de vida, la universidad del norte de Filadelfia nunca había tenido un presidente negro.

El nombramiento del Dr. Jason Wingard como su próximo presidente se produjo tras lograr el voto unánime del consejo de administración y de haber superado un proceso de selección a nivel nacional que duró 10 meses e involucró a un comité de búsqueda presidencial de 18 personas.

Wingard aterriza en el norte de Filadelfia procedente de la Universidad de Columbia, donde fue decano y decano emérito de su Escuela de Estudios Profesionales. También fue profesor de gestión de capital humano en este centro.

UN LÍDER EXPERIMENTADO

Antes de llegar a Columbia, Wingard fue gerente y director de formación en Goldman Sachs. En ese cargo, dirigió tanto el Grupo de Desarrollo de Liderazgo de Pine Street como la Universidad Goldman Sachs.

También fue vicedecano de la Wharton School of Business (Universidad de Pensilvania) y director ejecutivo de su alma mater, el Instituto de Liderazgo Educativo de la Universidad de Stanford.

Como académico, Wingard es un conferencista y escritor experimentado sobre temas que van desde la estrategia organizacional general al aprendizaje y el liderazgo.

“Como muchos de los profesores de Temple, el Dr. Wingard combina los logros académicos con la experiencia en el mundo real. Ese ha sido un sello distintivo de la educación de Temple durante generaciones”, dijo Mitchell L. Morgan, presidente de la junta de fideicomisarios de Temple, en un comunicado de prensa sobre el nombramiento de Wingard.

Originario de West Chester, el Dr. Wingard tomará posesión de su cargo oficialmente el 1 de julio, tomando el relevo del Dr. Richard Englert, que abandona Temple después de 45 años en la universidad, cinco de los cuales como presidente.

El presidente saliente prometió una transición sin problemas durante las próximas dos semanas, mientras Wingard se prepara para asumir el cargo.

ICE GIVES A BAD REPUTATION A PUSH LED BY MIJENTE IS GROWING FOR THOMSON REUTERS TO CUT ITS CONTRACTS WITH ICE.

Por otro lado, la conocida empresa de medios también tiene contratos con el ICE desde 2015.

Thomson Reuters proporcionó a la agencia de migración estadounidense el software “Clear” que ayuda a los agentes a localizar a los objetivos de deportación. El software no contiene datos sobre el estado legal y laboral de la persona afectada, pero monitorea bases de datos de vehículos y arrestos.

TRABAJANDO SIN CONTRATO

Si bien el contrato con el ICE expiró en febrero de 2021, y la agencia de migración no ha firmado ningún contrato de suscripción de “Clear” desde abril de 2021, los accionistas de Thomson Reuters votarán próximamente sobre si debería revisar el impacto de sus contratos de software en los derechos humanos, incluido el contrato vencido con el ICE. Thomson Reuters sigue colaborando con el ICE, a pesar de que ya no está atada JUNE 16 - 23, 2021

POLÍTICA ENGLISH Thomson Reuters is still working with ICE, even though it no longer has this specific contract, continuing to provide the agency with software to monitor immigrants, monitor activists and facilitate deporations with the information.

These contracts, according to Jacinta Gonzalez, a senior campaign organizer for the human advocacy group Mijente, bring up “huge” human rights implications, but it also opens a crucial conversation on data selling — and how quickly it can get into the hands of agencies known for being rogue and violent.

“They’re supposed to be dedicated to exposing the truth, to making sure that we’re well informed, making sure that information is helping us have healthier and more informed conversations about the world around us,” Gonzalez said.

What’s happening is because the data business is so new and lucrative, companies like Thomson Reuters have realized that the business of selling and sharing information with police departments is fiscally worth the shift in practice.

Mijente is now calling on everyone to demand that Thomson Reuters cancel its contracts with ICE, which has given them millions and has in turn “turbocharged” deportations and created fear in immigrant communities.

Shareholders are calling on Thomson Reuters to investigate whether its contracts violate human rights, and the kicker is that ISS and Glass Lewis, two of the biggest shareholders, initially agreed to investigate, leaving room for other investors to also vote in favor.

It led to a realization for human rights groups like Mijente: This indicates that more companies are beginning to understand that having a business relationship and contracts with ICE is risky business and bad for their reputation.

“What we’re doing is sending a really concrete message to the company that continuing to function as a data broker for ICE, is actually bad for business and is something that they should really take a second look at,” Gonzalez said.

There are human rights implications to working with ICE — Mijente and other organizations already know this as a fact. The question is whether or not its

por un contrato específico, proporcionando a la agencia de migración un software para monitorear a los inmigrantes y activistas, y facilitar las deportaciones con dicha información.

Para Jacinta González, organizadora de campañas senior de Mijente, un grupo de defensa de los derechos humanos, estos contratos plantean implicaciones “enormes” para los derechos humanos, y también abren un debate crucial sobre la venta de datos y la rapidez con la que pueden llegar a manos de la agencia, conocida por su picardía y violencia.

“Se supone que deben estar dedicados a exponer la verdad, a asegurarse de que estemos bien informados, a asegurarse de que la información nos ayude a tener conversaciones más sanas y mejor documentadas sobre el mundo que nos rodea”, dijo González.

Lo que ocurre es que debido a que el negocio de los datos es tan nuevo y tan lucrativo, las empresas como Thomson Reuters se han dado cuenta de que el negocio de vender y compartir información con los departamentos de policía vale la pena desde el punto de vista fiscal.

Mijente está ahora pidiendo a todo el mundo que exijan a Thomson Reuters cancelar sus contratos con el ICE, que les ha dado millones, y, a su vez, ha “acelerado” las deportaciones y ha creado miedo en las comunidades de inmigrantes.

EL ICE DA MALA REPUTACIÓN

Los accionistas piden a Thomson Reuters que investigue si sus contratos violan los derechos humanos, y el truco está en que ISS y Glass Lewis, dos de los mayores accionistas, inicialmente acordaron investigar, dejando espacio para que otros inversores también voten a favor.

Esto llevó a que grupos de derechos humanos como Mijente se dieran cuenta de que las empresas están comenzando a comprender que tener una relación comercial y contratos con el ICE es un negocio arriesgado y malo para su reputación.

“Lo que estamos haciendo es enviar a la empresa un mensaje realmente concreto: que continuar funcionando como intermediario de datos para el ICE es malo para los negocios y es algo que realmente deberían reconsiderar”, dijo González.

Trabajar con el ICE tiene implicaciones para los derechos humanos: Mijente y otras organizaciones ya se han dado cuenta de este hecho. La pregunta es si su negocio lo considerará o no.

SHUTTING DOWN BERKS FOR GOOD

BERKS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CRACKED A DEAL WITH ICE WITHOUT PUBLIC INPUT. ACTIVISTS ARE SUING TO CHANGE THAT. LOS COMISIONADOS DEL CONDADO DE BERKS LLEGARON A UN ACUERDO CON EL ICE SIN LA PARTICIPACIÓN DEL PÚBLICO. LOS ACTIVISTAS ESTÁN DEMANDANDO PARA CAMBIAR ESO.

ENGLISH

n Thursday, Feb. 25, Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey announced that the Berks County Residential Center (BCRC) had shut down and all the families had been released.

However, it was reported shortly after this small victory that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Berks County had plans to convert the space into a prison for adult immigrant women.

On Friday, March 26, Make the Road PA and seven individual community members sued the Berks County Commissioners for violating the Sunshine Act by engaging in secret deliberations concerning an ICE proposal for future use of the Berks family prison.

The plaintiffs, Julia Minotto; Tonya Wenger; Celine Elizabeth Schrier; Jesse D. Royer; Dean Kendall; Eric Gjertsen; and Alex Crawford were represented by Sheller Center for Social Justice, Syrena Law, Free Migration Project, Aldea – the People’s Justice Center, and Al Otro Lado.

SECRET DELIBERATIONS

“The Commissioners provided no information about the letter or proposal, prevented the public from having a reasonable opportunity to comment, and engaged in private deliberations. The Sunshine Act condemns precisely this kind of ‘secrecy’ because it ‘undermines the faith of the public in government,’” the lawsuit reads.

On Monday, June 7, a Berks County judge ruled that the Berks residents who sued the County Commissioners for voting to support ICE’s plan for the BCRC without public permission can move forward with their claim.

The Shut Down Berks Coalition along with Berks community members gathered at the Berks County Courthouse to show support and oppose the expansion and repurposing of the BCRC. The demonstration was live streamed on Facebook.

l jueves 25 de febrero, el senador de Pensilvania Bob Casey anunció que el Centro Residencial del Condado de Berks (BCRC) había cerrado y que todas las familias habían sido liberadas.

Sin embargo, poco después de esta pequeña victoria se informó que el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) y el condado de Berks tenían planes de convertir el espacio en una prisión para mujeres inmigrantes adultas.

El viernes 26 de marzo, Make the Road PA y siete miembros individuales de la comunidad demandaron a los comisionados del condado de Berks por violar la Ley Sunshine al participar en deliberaciones secretas sobre una propuesta del ICE para el uso futuro de la prisión familiar de Berks.

Los demandantes, Julia Minotto; Tonya Wenger; Celine Elizabeth Schrier; Jesse D. Royer; Dean Kendall; Eric Gjertsen; y Alex Crawford estuvieron representados por el Sheller Center for Social Justice, Syrena Law, Free Migration Project, Aldea - the People’s Justice Center y Al Otro Lado.

DELIBERACIONES SECRETAS

“Los comisionados no proporcionaron información sobre la carta o propuesta, impidieron que la población tuviera una oportunidad razonable para comentarla, y participaron en deliberaciones privadas.

La Ley Sunshine condena precisamente este tipo de ‘secreto’ porque ‘socava la fe del público en el gobierno’”, se lee en la demanda.

El lunes 7 de junio, un juez del condado de Berks dictaminó que los residentes de Berks que demandaron a los comisionados del condado por votar a favor del plan del ICE para el BCRC sin permiso público pueden seguir adelante con su reclamación.

La Coalición Shut Down Berks, junto con los miembros individuales de la comunidad de Berks, se reunieron en el Palacio de Justicia del Condado de Berks para mostrar su apoyo y oponerse a la expansión y reutilización del BCRC. La manifestación se transmitió en directo por Facebook.

W

ith the next phase of COVID-19 vaccines rolling out for adolescents, parental consent continues to be a dividing issue when it comes to parents not being ready to vaccinate their kids.

Since the FDA announcement on May 10, the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for use in adolescents, ages 12-15.

However, parental consent is in effect in 41 states across the U.S., causing many teens to come together to raise awareness on the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

“The FDA’s expansion of the emergency use authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to include adolescents 12 through 15 years of age is a

PHILLY ISN’T LIKE MOST PLACES

In Philadelphia, adolescents can consent to their own COVID-19 vaccination, according to a longstanding city policy that allows children ages 11 and above to do so without approval or consent of a parent or guardian.

Philly Teen Vaxx is a growing group of teens spreading awareness about vaccinations through social media, and it also uses community events to motivate members of their age group to get the jab.

n la próxima fase de la implementación de las vacunas COVID-19 para los adolescentes, el consentimiento parental va a seguir siendo un tema conflictivo, teniendo en cuenta todos aquellos padres que no se sienten preparados para vacunar a sus hijos.

El pasado 10 de mayo, la FDA anunció la aprobación de la vacuna Pfizer para su uso en adolescentes de 12 a 15 años. Sin embargo, el requisito del consentimiento parental está vigente en 41 estados de EE.UU, lo que hace que muchos adolescentes se hayan unido en todo el país para crear conciencia sobre la importancia de recibir la vacuna COVID-19.

“La decisión de la FDA de incluir en la autorización para el uso de emergencia de la

vacuna Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 a adolescentes de 12 a 15 años de edad es un paso significativo en la lucha contra la pandemia de COVID-19”, dijo la comisionada interina de la FDA, Janet Woodcock, M.D.

FILADELFIA, UN CASO ATÍPICO

En Filadelfia, los adolescentes pueden dar su propio consentimiento para recibir la vacuna COVID-19, de acuerdo con una antigua política municipal que permite que los niños de 11 años o más lo hagan sin la aprobación o el consentimiento de un padre o tutor.

POLÍTICA ENGLISH

Their most recent drive was a collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Youth Engagement to provide both vaccinations and an opportunity to learn about jobs.

However, Philly is an outlier when it comes to vaccine consent, even within its own state.

Most do not allow adolescents to consent to their own vaccinations. Beyond Rhode Island, South Carolina, the District of Columbia, Alabama and Oregon, every other state has some form of required parental consent with the procedure.

Only an additional five allow consent to be waived by an insurance provider.

The CDC states that as of June 6, only 2.1% out of 5% of the U.S. population of adolescents, ages 12-15 have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

However, a Pew Research Survey states 69% of adults have said they intend to get the vaccine or already have, there are some marginalized communities who still have a distrust with the healthcare system and do not trust the vaccine for themselves or their children.

Su campaña más reciente fue una colaboración con la Oficina de Participación Juvenil de la Alcaldía para proporcionar vacunas y formación sobre futuros empleos.

Sin embargo, Filadelfia es un caso atípico en lo que respecta al consentimiento de la vacuna, incluso dentro de su propio estado.

La mayoría no permite que los adolescentes consientan sus propias vacunas. Más allá de Rhode Island, Carolina del Sur, el Distrito de Columbia, Alabama y Oregón, todos los demás estados requieren algún tipo de consentimiento de los padres para la inoculación.

Sólo otros cinco estados permiten que la compañía de seguros prescinda del consentimiento.

La CDC afirma que, a 6 de junio, solo el 2,1% del 5% de la población de adolescentes de EE.UU. entre 12 y 15 años ha recibido al menos una dosis de la vacuna.

A pesar de que una encuesta llevada a cabo por Pew Research indica que el 69% de los adultos han dicho que tienen la intención de vacunarse o ya lo han hecho, hay algunas comunidades marginadas que aún desconfían del sistema de salud y tienen miedo de la vacuna, tanto para ellos como para sus hijos.

AFFECTING LATINO YOUTH

LOS JÓVENES LATINOS, ENTRE LOS MÁS AFECTADOS

The Latino community is just one that has a history of mistrust in the healthcare system stemming from discrimination, cultural incompetency and inequality in care and access.

That distrust is slowly reducing among the demographic, with Kaiser Family Foundation data showing major progress between April and May 2021, but it’s still prevalent. Most of that distrust still stems from lack of information about where to get the vaccine and its process.

As was true from the start of the pandemic, with COVID-19 disproportionately devastating the Latino and Black communities, distrust could mean more lives lost, especially if children need permission from parents to get vaccinated.

In response, many are stepping up to demand vaccination and get access to it. Governments need to play catch up. z

La comunidad latina es una más entre las que muestran un historial de desconfianza en el sistema de salud, debido a la discriminación, la incompetencia cultural y la desigualdad en la atención y el acceso.

Esta desconfianza se está reduciendo lentamente entre la población (según cifras de la Kaiser Family Foundation, ha habido un progreso importante entre abril y mayo de 2021) pero aún prevalece. La mayor parte de esa desconfianza todavía se debe a la falta de información sobre dónde y cómo obtener la vacuna.

Como sucedió desde el comienzo de la pandemia, con el COVID-19 cebándose desproporcionadamente con las comunidades latinas y negras, la desconfianza podría significar más vidas perdidas, especialmente si los niños necesitan el permiso de los padres para vacunarse.

En respuesta, muchos están dando un paso al frente para exigir la vacunación y tener acceso a ella. Y los gobiernos deben ponerse al día. z

Philly is an outlier when it comes to vaccine consent, even within its wown state.

dessa Kelly, a community organizer from Nashville, Tennessee, recently announced her bid for a seat in the U.S House of Representatives. If elected, Kelly would become the first openly gay, Black woman in Congress.

Kelly is supported by Justice Democrats, the same group that helped current Reps. Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush to land their spots in Congress last year.

Kelly will be challenging a Democratic dynasty with her run against longtime Representative Jim Cooper, whose brother John, is currently serving as Mayor of Nashville within the same district.

But Kelly remains dauntless in her venture towards securing a seat in Congress, defeating the local political dynasty, and becoming a voice for the people of Nashville whose needs have been drowned out.

Kelly is the co-founder and executive director of the nonprofit organization, Stand Up Nashville, where she mobilizes the community to fight systemic racism, gentrification, and political disenfranchisement through petitions, lobbying, letters, rallies, and more.

In a conversation with AL DÍA, Kelly delved into her past, her reasons for launching her campaign, and the issues facing her fellow community members in Nashville.

A NATURAL LEADER

She didn’t always dream of running for office, nor did she even envision herself falling into leadership roles, though the qualities came naturally to her.

In her school years, Kelly was a talented athlete and was always the captain of the basketball teams she played on. At first, she admitted, the prospect of playing professionally for the WNBA seemed more appealing to her than being a politician or even a community leader.

But beyond sports, Kelly was student council president a few times during her time in school, and among her social circle, often took on the responsibility of being the “mom friend.”

In other words, if her friends were caught doing something wrong — even if she wasn’t involved — she would “take the brunt of it.”

Kelly has lived in Nashville her whole life, and has seen the way

dessa Kelly, una organizadora comunitaria de Nashville, Tennessee, anunció recientemente su candidatura para un escaño en la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos. De ser elegida, Kelly se convertiría en la primera mujer negra abiertamente gay en el Congreso.

Kelly cuenta con el apoyo de Justice Democrats, la misma organización que ayudó a los representantes Jamaal Bowman y Cori Bush a lograr sus escaños en el Congreso el año pasado.

La candidatura de Kelly supone un desafío para la dinastía demócrata local, dominada por el representante Jim Cooper, cuyo hermano John sirve actualmente como alcalde de Nashville en el mismo distrito.

Kelly permanece firme en su carrera por asegurar un escaño en el Congreso, derrotar a la dinastía política local y convertirse en la voz de todos aquellos ciudadanos de Nashville cuyas necesidades fueron ahogadas.

Kelly es cofundadora y directora ejecutiva de Stand Up Nashville, organización sin fines de lucro dirigida a movilizar a la comunidad para luchar contra el racismo sistémico, la gentrificación y la privación de derechos políticos mediante peticiones, lobbying, cartas, manifestaciones y más.

En una entrevista con AL DÍA, Kelly profundizó en su pasado, sus razones para lanzar su campaña y los problemas que afectan a su comunidad en Nashville.

LÍDER POR NATURALEZA

Kelly no siempre soñó con postularse para un cargo público, ni siquiera se imaginó a sí misma asumiendo roles de liderazgo, pero tenía las habilidades naturales para hacerlo.

En sus años escolares, llegó a ser una atleta talentosa y era siempre la capitana de los equipos de baloncesto en los que jugaba. Por eso, explicó a AL DÍA, inicialmente la perspectiva de jugar profesionalmente para la WNBA le parecía más atractiva que convertirse en política o líder comunitaria.

Pero, más allá de los deportes, Kelly llegó a ser presidenta del consejo estudiantil en varias ocasiones y entre su círculo social a menudo asumía la responsabilidad de ser la “mamá amiga”.

her city’s neighborhoods have drastically changed over the years as a result of the quiet violence of gentrification and displacement.

She watched as public tax dollars were being used to beautify the city at the expense of longtime residents who could no longer afford to live in their own hometown.

A CAREER CENTERED ON NASHVILLE

The congressional hopeful began her career working for the city with Nashville’s department of parks and recreation, where her athletic spirit and love of children thrived. She worked in the department for 14 years before veering into the nonprofit world.

As much as this work was a positive and rewarding experience for Kelly, it was also disheartening for her to constantly see people that were desperately in need of help — help that the city could be providing but wasn’t.

From there, Kelly started work advocating on pressing housing issues with local religious leaders through an interfaith coalition known as Nashville Organized for Action and Hope.

Through the work, Kelly continued to watch how new developments reshaped her city, which is one of the fastest growing in the country.

She explained that the ongoing gentrification issue in Nashville is “deplorable.” Historically, the city has always had a population dominated by African-Americans, but that is not the case today. Her and her neighbors are now the only two Black families that reside in her neighborhood.

Just recently, Stand Up Nashville fought “tooth and nail” against tech giant Oracle and their new redevelopment plans in the city.

“They’re going to pay $175 million in infrastructure and they’re bringing 8,500 jobs to pay over six figures. Right now, of course they say they’re going to hire people here in Nashville… but that never happens,” Kelly said.

The Oracle standoff is one of the many reasons she’s currently running for Congress.

“If I get elected to Congress, I want to get on the Judiciary Committee, you know, I want to get on the Monopoly Antitrust Committee. And I have personal

It was also issues like displacement and other social justice causes that led Kelly to become a community organizer, and eventually establish Stand Up Nashville. She knew that there were so many stories of everyday people that needed to be broadcast, so that real change could be enacted.

PORTADA to recruit her as a candidate, she had to turn them down a few times because she was very much still in “survival mode,” as she recalled.

The timing just wasn’t right for her to even entertain the idea of launching a campaign. She had obligations to the community she loves and diligently serves, and had to take care of her own health and financial needs.

“We made promises to people here in Nashville. And when I started this work, I was fighting for my own life. I wasn’t really thinking about [this work] on a congressional level. I was thinking about survival mode, what’s in front of me today and how do I get this pressure off my neck?” Kelly said.

But when the stars finally aligned in 2021, Kelly was more than happy to have the support of Justice Democrats, as well as the opportunity to represent Nashville on a bigger scale.

“It’s been an amazing feeling to just have these people wrap your arms around you and increasingly ingratiate themselves into, like, my own communi-

As a candidate for the House of Representatives, Kelly’s priorities include universal healthcare, climate justice, LGBTQ equality, gun violence prevention, immigrant rights and more. If elected, she told AL DÍA that she is ready, will-

ing and able to deliver tangible results to those who need it most.

Kelly also supports the Green New Deal, Medicaid for All, eviction prevention, affordable housing, and fair wages.

She also believes that a $15 an hour minimum wage should be “the floor, not the ceiling.”

Her many years of experience in community organizing has set the stage for a seat in the House. Kelly knows firsthand the urgency of taking action on issues such as housing, healthcare, racial justice and economic recovery from the pandemic.

“We have to slow it down and get all the different dominoes in place. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do. And then on top of it, we’re not going to mold or change our language to be palatable to what people want to hear,” Kelly said.

“We’re going to tell them how it is.

We’re going to put it out there and take a leap of faith that people understand and see the authenticity in the work that we’re trying to do, and believe us when we say that we can do this together.” z

led to many successes, including a negotiation over a landmark community benefits agreement securing affordable housing and other services at the site of a new soccer stadium.

And when city officials decided to give the wealthiest man in Nashville $275 million to construct a brand new soccer stadium, Kelly fought for a legally-binding agreement that would return this large investment to the communities most-heavily impacted by the stadium, ensuring housing, jobs and child care.

prendidos haciendo algo mal, ella asumía la peor parte, incluso cuando no había tenido nada que ver.

Kelly ha vivido en Nashville toda su vida y ha visto cómo los vecindarios de su ciudad han cambiado drásticamente a lo largo de los años como resultado de la violencia silenciosa que suponen la gentrificación y los desplazamientos.

También ha tenido la ocasión de observar cómo los dólares de los impuestos públicos se utilizaban para embellecer la ciudad a expensas de los antiguos residentes, que ya no pueden permitirse vivir en su ciudad natal.

UNA CARRERA CENTRADA EN NASHVILLE

La aspirante al Congreso empezó su carrera trabajando en el Departamento de Parques y Recreación de Nashville, donde prosperaron su espíritu atlético y su amor por los niños. Trabajó en el departamento durante catorce años antes de ingresar en el mundo de las organizaciones sin fines de lucro.

Aunque este trabajo fue una experiencia positiva y gratificante, Kelly reconoció que también le resultaba desalentador tener que ver de forma constante a personas que necesitaban ayuda desesperadamente, ayuda que la ciudad podía brindar, pero no lo hacía.

A partir de ahí, Kelly se puso a trabajar para acabar con los problemas urgentes de vivienda en su ciudad, y lo hizo en colaboración con líderes religiosos locales a través de la coalición interreligiosa Nashville Organized for Action and Hope (Nashville Organizada para la Acción y la Esperanza).

En el trabajo, Kelly continuaba observando cómo los nuevos proyectos urbanísticos iban transformando Nashville, una de las ciudades con crecimiento más rápido de todo el país.

Kelly calificó el problema de la gentrificación actual en Nashville de “deplorable”. Históricamente, la ciudad siempre ha tenido una población de mayoría afroamericana, pero actualmente no es así. Kelly y sus vecinos son hoy en día las únicas dos familias negras que residen en su vecindario.

Hace poco, Stand Up Nashville se enzarzó en una batalla con uñas y dientes contra el gigante tecnológico Oracle y sus nuevos planes de redesarrollo urbanístico en la ciudad.

de trabajo para mover cantidades de más de seis cifras. En este momento, por supuesto, dicen que van a contratar gente de aquí, Nashville ... pero eso nunca sucede “, dijo Kelly.

El pulso con Oracle es una de las muchas razones por las que actualmente se postula para el Congreso.

“Si me eligen al Congreso, quiero formar parte del Comité Judicial, ya saben, quiero formar parte del Comité Antimonopolio. Y tengo experiencia personal ”, dijo Kelly. “Sé lo que se ve y se siente al estar en el lado opuesto de las corporaciones que se mudan aquí sin ningún tipo de regulación o control”, dijo Kelly.

Fueron también los desplazamientos y otras causas de justicia social las que llevaron a Kelly a convertirse en organizadora comunitaria y, finalmente, a establecer Stand Up Nashville. Sabía que para poder cambiar las cosas de verdad, hacía falta difundir las historias que afectaban a mucha gente común.

Kelly cofundó Stand Up Nashville en 2016, y el movimiento colaborativo condujo enseguida a muchos éxitos, incluida una negociación sobre un acuerdo histórico de beneficios para la comunidad que aseguraba viviendas asequibles y otros servicios en las inmediaciones de un nuevo estadio de fútbol.

Cuando las estrellas finalmente se alinearon, en 2021, Kelly estaba más que feliz de tener el apoyo de Justice Democrats, así como la oportunidad de representar a Nashville a escala mayor.

“Fue una sensación increíble contar con todas esas personas a mi alrededor y congraciarse cada vez más con ellas, con mi propia comunidad, aquí, en Nashville y, ya saben, sentir que hacen todo lo posible para ayudarnos a alcanzar nuestras metas”, dijo.

Como candidata a la Cámara de Representantes, las prioridades de Kelly incluyen la atención médica universal, la justicia climática, la igualdad LGBTQ, la prevención de la violencia armada, los derechos de los inmigrantes y más. En caso de ser elegida, aseguró a AL DÍA que está preparada, dispuesta y capacitada para conseguir resultados tangibles para quienes más lo necesitan.

Kelly ha vivido en Nashville toda su vida y visto cómo los vecindarios de su ciudad han cambiado drásticamente a lo largo de los años.

Kelly también defiende causas como el Green New Deal, Medicaid for All, la prevención de desalojos, viviendas asequibles y salarios justos. Además, cree que un salario mínimo de $15 la hora debería ser un primer paso, no el límite.

Sus muchos años de experiencia en la organización comunitaria han sido el escenario previo a ocupar un escaño en la Cámara. Kelly conoce de primera mano la urgencia de cuestiones como la vivienda, la atención médica, la justicia racial y la recuperación económica de la pandemia.

“Tenemos que reducir la velocidad y colocar en su sitio todas las piezas del dominó. Y eso es exactamente lo que vamos a hacer. Además, no vamos a modificar o cambiar nuestro lenguaje para amoldarnos a lo que la gente quiere escuchar “, dijo Kelly. Y añadió: “Vamos a hablar sin tapujos. Vamos a difundir las cosas como son y confiar en que la gente entienda y se de cuenta de la autenticidad de nuestro trabajo, y nos crea cuando decimos que podemos lograrlo juntos”. z

LA APUESTA FINAL: EL CONGRESO

Incluso durante sus muchos años de activismo comunitario y trabajo de liderazgo, a Kelly, anunciar una candidatura al Congreso le parecía todavía fuera de su alcance. Al principio, cuando los jueces demócratas se acercaron a Kelly para reclutarla como candidata, tuvo que rechazarlos varias veces porque sentía que estaba en “modo de supervivencia”.

Pero no era el momento adecuado, ni siquiera para considerar la idea de lanzar una campaña. Tenía obligaciones con su comunidad, a la que ama y sirve con diligencia, y tuvo que ocuparse de su propia salud y necesidades financieras.

“Hicimos promesas a la gente de aquí, de Nashville. Cuando comencé con este trabajo lo hice luchando por mi propia vida. No lo concebí a nivel de Congreso.

Lo concebí en modo supervivencia: ¿Qué tengo hoy frente a mí y cómo me quito esta presión de encima?, explicó Kelly.

icci Nostra, the Argentine indie musician adopted by Barcelona, recently released “Fugaces,” the first single from his second studio album, La maldición del amarre, set to be released on June 18 through Party Town Records/Hidden Track.

“Fugaces” is a kick of carefree rebellion against all things establishment, and encourages listeners to explore and reflect on the new normal of the world. Above all, it pushes us to take risks, laugh, cry, kiss, dance, sing, love and fly, because that’s what life is all about.

“Fugaces” is rock because it is rebellion with substance.

“Rock in the global scene right now is something complex to define,” said Nostra. “Undoubtedly, you have to think about it from where you are standing. It is not the same to ask yourself this question when you are English and living in London than when you are Latin American and living in Europe.”

The song, like his whole album, was recorded and produced at La Masia

“Fugaces” es un golpe de rebeldía desenfadada ante todo lo establecido, que nos incita a explorar y reflexionar ante la recién llegada nueva normalidad. Pero, sobretodo, nos empuja a arriesgar, reír, llorar, besar, bailar, cantar, amar y volar, porque de eso va la vida. “Fugaces” es

“El rock en el escenario global ahora mismo es algo complejo de definir. Sin dudas, hay que pensarlo desde donde está uno parado. No es lo mismo hacerse esta pregunta siendo inglés y viviendo en Londres que siendo latinoamericano y viviendo en Europa. El rock ahora mismo es lo que inicialmente fue: ir a contradirección de la masa. Tal vez puede ser más soft en su sonido pero más interesante en su lírica”.

La canción, como todo el disco, ha sido grabada y producida en el estudio La Masia Music Lab por Josep Vilagut y Scarlett, mezclada por Daniel Pernas y masterizada por Yvess Rousell. Y, por si fuera poco, cuenta con los bajos únicos de Miquel Sospedra y las baterías inconfundibles de Xavi Molero.

El segundo adelanto de su álbum, publicado la semana anterior, es “Sóltemonos” donde en clave de un indiepop fresco y amable, el autor plantea un cambio de paradigma. Fundamentalmente los vínculos del amor, comenzando por el propio, y rompiendo con el amor romántico.

NOSTRA’S HISTORY

Ricci didn’t embark on his own musical dream until after the death of his father and his move to Barcelona.

“As a child I was very shy to confess my love for music but I remember as if it were today seeing someone playing or singing and dreaming of being that someone. I imagined myself there,” said Nostra. “I would lock myself in my room to sing. I also remember standing for hours in front of the music store looking at the instruments and wondering how I could get one. Deep down I have to confess that I did imagine myself making songs like that.”

He released his first studio LP titled Jinete de Conejos in 2018. It’s a completely introspective and melancholic lyric album.

‘LA MALDICIÓN DEL AMARRE’

Now, Nostra is preparing to give the world a new album, La Maldición del Amarre. It’s a work with a fresh and different sound than expected — full of synthesizers and electric guitars.

It’s all indie rock with nods to pop.

Asked about its creation, Nostra said it was difficult to describe.

“It took time. Time to live experiences, to learn, to cry, to fall, to be so deep in the worst of the worst that only a temptation of laughter saves you, time to love and unlove,” he said. “No doubt it takes time to mature all that inside to slowly sew it into lyrics and melodies. I see my growth between albums and the truth makes me want to love myself.” z

ESPAÑOL amar no porque el otro represente una parte incompleta de uno mismo, sino precisamente por ser el otro.

“La inspiración me la da la calle. Conocer gente, escucharla (sea quien sea), aprender de ellas y ellos, todas las personas tienen cosas interesantes que decir y recomendar. Me inspiran otros músicos.

También me inspiro en mi mundo interior.

Suelo vivir muy hacia dentro y cuando estoy allí me permito entender el viaje que he hecho, me escucho bastante a mí mismo”.

LA HISTORIA DE NOSTRA

Ricci Nostra empezó como banda hasta terminar convirtiéndose en 2015 en el alter ego de Santiago Cayrol. Ricci no se animó a lanzarse con su sueño musical hasta después de la muerte de su padre y su emigración a Barcelona: “De niño me daba mucha vergüenza confesar mi amor por la música pero me acuerdo como si fuera hoy el ver a alguien tocar o cantar y soñar con ser ese alguien. Me imaginaba ahí y luego me encerraba en mi cuarto a cantar. También recuerdo quedarme horas frente a la tienda de música, viendo los instrumentos y divagando sobre qué podía hacer para obtener uno. En el fondo he de confesar que sí me imaginaba haciendo canciones”.

Su primer LP de estudio, titulado “Jinete de Conejos” (2018) fue un disco completamente introspectivo y de letras melancólicas. Ahora Ricci Nostra se prepara para mostrar al mundo un nuevo disco titulado La Maldición del Amarre. Un trabajo con una sonoridad totalmente fresca y distinta a la esperada, repleto de sintetizadores y guitarras eléctricas, un álbum completamente indie rock con guiños al pop.

‘LA MALDICIÓN DEL AMARRE’

Preguntado sobre la preparación del disco, responde: “Sería difícil para mí explicar la preparación previa al disco. Siento que el disco, como expresión artística, ha nacido cuando tenía que hacerlo. Se necesita tiempo. Tiempo para vivir experiencias, aprendizajes, llantos, caídas, estar tan hundido en lo peor de lo peor que solo una tentación de reír te salve, tiempo para amar y desamar. Sin duda se necesita tiempo (y tal vez algunos necesitamos más que otros) para madurar todo eso dentro hasta coserlo lentamente en letras y melodías. Veo mi crecimiento entre discos y la verdad me dan ganas de quererme”. z

PROFESSIONAL

Following precepts of Erich Fromm or Julio Cortázar, Ricci advocates loving not because the other represents an incomplete part of oneself, but for being the other.

“I get my inspiration from the street.

Meeting people, listening to them [whoever they are], learning from them. Everyone has interesting things to say and to recommend. I get inspiration from other musicians,” said Nostra. “I also get inspiration from my inner world. I tend to live very much on the inside and when I’m there I allow myself to understand the journey, I listen to myself a lot.”

FIRED FOR INDEPENDENCE FAMED LA VANGUARDIA COLUMNIST PILAR RAHOLA WAS FIRED FOR HER SUPPORTIVE VIEWS OF THE CATALAN INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT. PILAR RAHOLA FUE DESPEDIDA COMO COLUMNISTA DE LA VANGUARDIA COINCIDIENDO CON UNA NUEVA FASE DEL INDEPENDENTISMO CATALÁN .

She sees large doses of public exposure not only in the newspaper, but also on the Catalan public television.

“Yes. La Vanguardia will not publish any more articles of mine.

The decision comes from above and beyond,” she wrote The newspaper also dispensed with one of its most famous signatures just as the government changed hands to Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC).

l famoso periódico catalán La Vanguardia ha tenido hasta ahora que parar mucho cuidado en mantenerse en la fina línea de profesionalidad que bordeaba ambas fronteras del conflicto independentista catalán.

Este fin de semana, sin embargo, despedía a la periodista Pilar Rahola, quien firmaba su última columna con un artículo sobre las obligaciones secesionistas de todos los catalanes.

YA NO ES NEUTRAL

Pilar Rahola es una de las columnistas más destacadas alineadas a favor del independentismo catalán, una figura tertuliana y mediática que se posicionó a favor del Procés colocándose muy cerca de las figuras más influyentes y con grandes dosis de exposición pública no solo en el periódico, sino también especialmente en la televisión pública catalana.

“Sí. La Vanguardia no publicará más artículos míos. Sí. Es por motivos ideológicos y políticos. No. No he aceptado las peticiones de cambiar mis planteamientos, ni suavizarlos. No. No es el primer intento de echarme. Sí. La decisión viene de arriba de todo y más allá”.

La decisión del periódico de prescindir de una de sus firmas más famosas coincide con el acuerdo de gobierno entre Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) y Junts per Catalunya (partido liderado por el expresidente Carles Puigdemont, fugado en Bélgica, del que Rahola era evidente defensora), aunque el rotativo no se ha pronunciado sobre las causas del JUNE 16 - 23, 2021

CULTURA ENGLISH Martin, Xavier Antich, Jordi Graupera or Salvador Cardús.

The debate on social media began when the journalist made her firing public, which prompted messages of support from a number of pro-independence supporters.

The most important came from the political party, Junts per Catalunya, a political sphere for which the journalist has served as spokesperson, and the party that started the Procés years ago.

The former president of Junts per Catalunya, Carles Puigdemont, a fugitive in Waterloo, was recently interviewed by the journalist, and also defended Rahola on Twitter.

“Dear Pilar, thank you for writing as a free woman until the last day.

Some, in Madrid and also nearby, love you in silence or with mute. Keep writing, keep talking. With agreements and disagreements, we cannot be if we are not free,” he wrote.

The last former president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, president of his parliamentary group, Albert Batet, and his spokeswoman Laura Borràs, also spoke out.

However, Rahola has not received the support of ERC, which just appointed a new president of the Generalitat in agreement with Junts, but nevertheless, has started a new stage of government looking for other ways to face the nationalist conflict.

movement, which has seen its exposure diminished after the pandemic. In the new scenario, the Spanish central government is looking for a solution as soon as possible and seeks an agreement before re-entering an electoral race, after losing the Socialists in Madrid.

One of the apparent solutions is to pardon the secessionist politicians who are currently in prison. It seems to some that such pardons could smooth the conflict, but the Supreme Court in charge of the matter has come out against such a move, citing a lack of repentance.

It leaves the independence movement looking for new support at a time when institutions that were flying over the Procés must also adapt to a population divided between the desire to overcome the conflict and the political will to continue. z

ESPAÑOL despido. La periodista, no obstante, ha afrontado el despido como un gesto simbólico más amplio en el que el periódico se deshace de notables independentistas como Albert Sánchez Piñol, Xavier Sala i Martin, Xavier Antich, Jordi Graupera o Salvador Cardús.

El debate en redes sociales empezó cuando la propia periodista hizo público su despido, que motivó mensajes de apoyo de multitud de independentistas. Los mensajes más importantes llegaron del partido político Junts per Catalunya, la esfera política de la que ha servido de portavoz la periodista, el partido político que con otros rostros y nombres empezó hace años el Procés.

El expresidente de Junts per Catalunya, Carles Puigdemont, fugado en Waterloo, desde donde fue entrevistado recientemente por la periodistas, defendía en redes su criterio: “Estimada Pilar, gracias por escribir como mujer libre hasta el último día. Algunos, en Madrid y además cerca también, te quieren en silencio o con sordina. Sigue

escribiendo, continúa hablando. Con acuerdos y desacuerdos, no podemos ser si no somos libres”.

También se ha manifestado el último ex presidente de la Generalitat, Quim Torra; el presidente de Junts per Catalunya, Albert Batet, o su portavoz Laura Borràs que situaba el escándalo en el ámbito de la censura.

Rahola no ha recibido en cambio los apoyos de ERC, que acaba de nombrar nuevo presidente de la Generalitat con un acuerdo de gobierno con Junts, pero que sin embargo acaba de empezar una nueva etapa con un gobierno que ahora, después de la crisis pandémica, busca otras vías de encarar el conflicto nacionalista.

UN FUTURO INCIERTO

Todo esto sucede en un momento complejo para el independentismo catalán, que se ha visto mermado en su exposición tras la crisis planetaria. En el nuevo escenario, el gobierno central español busca una solución urgente y llegar a un acuerdo antes de volver a entrar en carrera electoral tras perder los socialistas en Madrid.

Así pues, una de las aparentes soluciones parece pasar por indultar a los políticos secesionistas que por el momento se encuentran en prisión. A algunos les parece que podría lubricar el conflicto dichos indultos, pero el Tribunal Supremo encargado de la cuestión se ha mostrado profundamente en contra al no haber símbolos de arrepentimiento.

De esta forma, el independentismo busca de nuevos apoyos en un momento en que las instituciones que sobrevolaban el Procés deben también adaptarse a una población dividida entre el ansia de superar el conflicto y la voluntad política de continuarlo. z

CULTURA ENGLISH with Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, from June 9 to Aug. 14 of this year.

A CELEBRATION OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY

In The Heights originated as a musical in celebration of New York’s Latino community.

Miranda said that after his experience directing West Side Story during his senior year of high school, it became clear there was no production where Latinos were at the center of the story.

“In The Heights was my way of including myself in that narrative,” he said.

The play shows the values of the Latino community such as family unity, respect for elders, the joy with which they live day-to-day, and how the community supports each other in all circumstances.

It also reflects social problems suffered by Latinos in the United States, such as gentrification, and the pressure felt by the new generations of Latinos to obtain college degrees for which their parents have sacrificed a good part of their lives.

“There is so little representation of the mainstream Latino in film... If you look at any study, any chart, you’ll see that we make up a quarter of the movie-going public, and yet we are only 4% of those who appear on screen,” Miranda said.

For lead actress Melissa Barrera, the film is a vindication of Latinos before Hollywood.

“The most important thing for me is to see us Latinos in a positive way because for many years we have been punished by Hollywood. They always put us in roles with connotations that are not positive and violent,” she said.z

UNA CELEBRACIÓN DE LA COMUNIDAD LATINA

“In The Heights se originó como un musical para celebrar la comunidad latina de Nueva York. Lin-Manuel cuenta que tras su experiencia dirigiendo West Side Story en su último año de instituto, le quedó claro que no había ninguna otra producción en la que los latinos fueran los protagonistas de la historia. “In The Heights fue mi manera de incluirme en ese relato”, afirmó Miranda.

La obra muestra los valores de la comunidad latina, como la unidad familiar, el respeto por los mayores, la alegría con la que se vive el día a día o el apoyo que se brindan entre ellos bajo cualquier circunstancia. Refleja además los problemas sociales que sufren los latinos en Estados Unidos, como la gentrificación, o la presión que sienten las nuevas generaciones de latinos por hacerse con títulos universitarios por los que sus padres sacrificaron buena parte de sus vidas.

“El latino convencional está tan poco representado en el cine… Si miran cualquier estudio, cualquier gráfica, verán que suponemos una cuarta parte del público que va al cine, y sin embargo solo representamos un 4% de los que aparecen en pantalla”, explicó Miranda.

Para la actriz protagonista, Melissa Barrera, la cinta es una reivindicación de los latinos frente a Hollywood: “Lo más importante para mí es que nosotros, los latinos, nos veamos de una manera positiva, porque durante muchos años hemos sido castigados por Hollywood. Siempre nos ponen en papeles con connotaciones que no son positivas y violenta”. z

“I am honored by the board’s selection and excited to lead one of the nation’s premier urban research universities,” said Wingard in the release.

“Temple will continue to provide its di-

verse and talented community of learners an unparalleled, accessible opportunity to leverage a best-in-class network of faculty and academic resources in support of dynamic and lifelong professional goals.”

He also pinpointed the uncertainty of the world amid ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, especially for the 37,000-plus students he will become the dean of at Temple, and offered a vision of hope and advancement for the future.

“Temple will lead the progression of a career readiness agenda, built on a foundation of innovation and adaptability, to advance knowledge for relevant impact,” said Wingard. z`

ESPAÑOL | Viene pág 6 creer que el Dr. Wingard encontrará a la facultad, el personal y los estudiantes ilusionados por el futuro y listos para hacer avanzar la universidad”, dijo Englert.

UN IMPULSO ADELANTE PARA TEMPLE

Este fue el único mensaje que Wingard comunicó a los estudiantes y profesores de Temple el día de su nombramiento: “Me siento honrado por la selección de la junta e ilusionado de liderar una de las principales universidades urbanas de investigación del país”, dijo Wingard en el comunicado. “Temple continuará brindando a su diversa y talentosa comunidad de estudiantes una oportunidad incompa-

rable y accesible para que aprovechen la mejor red de recursos académicos y docentes con el fin de apoyar unos objetivos profesionales dinámicos y de por vida”.

También remarcó la incertidumbre mundial que ha generado la actual pandemia de COVID-19, que afectará especialmente a los más de 37.000 estudiantes de Temple que tendrá bajo su tutela, pero ofreció una visión de esperanza y avance para el futuro: “Temple liderará la progresión de una agenda de preparación profesional, basada en los fundamentos de innovación y adaptabilidad, para avanzar en la generación de conocimientos con un impacto relevante”, aseguró. z

ICE GIVES A BAD REPUTATION From pag. 9 | ENGLISH

business is going to consider it.

The broader point, according to Gonzalez, is that not only are these companies selling information to ICE, they’re also selling information to local police, moving farther away from how they function as a media company.

The upcoming shareholder meeting is an opportunity to look inward. The issue is the lack of monitoring in the data

industry, and the human implications that come as a result of greed.

“These companies are creating ways for ICE agents to target our community without having the basic constitutional protections that they should be able to offer. So if ICE agents can’t get your address in a way that’s constitutional, they don’t have to worry about it,” Gonzales said. z

ESPAÑOL | Viene pág 9 El punto más complicado, según González, es que estas empresas no solo venden información al ICE, sino que también venden información a la policía local, alejándose aún más de su funcionamiento como empresa de medios.

La próxima reunión de accionistas será una oportunidad para mirar hacia adentro.

El problema está en la falta de monitoreo en la industria de datos y las implicaciones huma-

nas que surgen como resultado de la codicia.

“Estas empresas están creando formas para que los agentes del ICE se dirijan a nuestra comunidad sin ofrecerles las protecciones constitucionales básicas. Por ejemplo, si los agentes del ICE no pueden obtener su dirección de una manera constitucional, no tienen que preocuparse por eso ”, dijo Gonzales. “Pueden comprarlo a Thomson Reuters”, añadió. z

the community—the imprisonment of asylum-seekers at a County facility.” said Jennifer Lee, from the Sheller Center at Temple Law School, and counsel for the community members.

The Pennsylvania Sunshine Act requires that all public agency decisions be made open to the public for comment.

Despite this law, Berks County Commissioners Christian Leinbach and Michael Rivera privately voted to support ICE’s conversion and expansion plan.

“This prison will only impoverish

our community and will take away our peace. As a woman, I cannot allow immigrant women who come escaping from violence and poverty and who come here to improve their quality of life, to be incarcerated in my backyard,” said Mora.

Rather than continue the destructive legacy of detaining immigrants, both the advocacy groups and Berks residents would like to see the space transformed into social programming that would stem from transparency and direct collaboration with the community. z

ESPAÑOL | Viene pág 11 una instalación del condado”. dijo Jennifer Lee, representante del Sheller Center, vinculado a la facultad de derecho de Temple, y asesora de los miembros de la comunidad.

La Ley Sunshine de Pensilvania requiere que todas las decisiones de las agencias públicas estén abiertas al público para comentarios. A pesar de esta ley, los comisionados del condado de Berks, Christian Leinbach y Michael Rivera, votaron de forma privada para apoyar el plan de conversión y expansión del ICE.

“Esta prisión solo empobrecerá a nuestra comunidad y nos quitará la paz. Como mujer, no puedo permitir que las mujeres inmigrantes que vienen escapando de la violencia y la pobreza y llegan aquí para mejorar su calidad de vida, sean encarceladas en mi patio trasero ”, dijo Mora.

En lugar de continuar con el legado destructivo de detener inmigrantes, tanto los grupos de defensa como los residentes de Berks quisieran que el espacio tuviera un programa social basado en la transparencia y la colaboración directa con la comunidad. z

lease allow me to introduce to you, dear reader, the City’s resident of Latino descent “more famously unknown.”

In 1823, he was buried in Old City, his coffin moving slowly along with his few true friends, the most prominent residents of Philadelphia at the time. The most prominent among them was the famous publisher of the Philadelphia Aurora newspaper, Mr. William Duane.

Along with Duane, hundreds of residents in the city and surrounding areas attended the funeral of the one who was the first ambassador of Latino America before the government of the United States. In reality, he was just a city dweller who lived among us for more than 30 years, and who perhaps only aspired to be called “just another American.”

However, if you discover his name one of these days, you will be easily confused

Philadelphia, however, ignores Ambassador Manuel Torres today 100%.

If in 1928 “the descendants of his friends from 100 years earlier” decided to rescue his memory and place a plaque in front of the St. Mary’s Church, on 2nd Street, where his remains rest in total serenity today, when the descendants of Torres’s friends are also dead and forgotten.

It was there where I first bumped into his memory, during yet another boring Sunday afternoon walk. A man of Latino descent whose name is inscribed on a historic wall in the most historic section of this historic city?

Where the American Revolution was conceived and was carried out?

¿TIENE DUDAS SOBRE LA VACUNA?

Jennifer Rodríguez La Cámara de Comercio Hispana de Philadelphia

Los latinos tienen 3 veces más probabilidades de ser hospitalizados por COVID-19.

Las vacunas pueden ayudarnos a volver a nuestras vidas. Vacunándonos, podemos proteger a nuestras familias, comunidades y a los más vulnerables contra el COVID-19. Esto es lo que necesita saber: Ingredientes de confianza. Los ingredientes de las vacunas contra el COVID-19 son seguros.

No contienen virus vivos y no pueden causar COVID-19.

Efectos secundarios leves. Al igual que con muchas otras vacunas, pueden ocurrir efectos secundarios como dolor muscular, fatiga o fiebre leve, pero generalmente, solo duran uno o dos días, y a menudo son una señal de que la vacuna está funcionando. Muchas personas no tienen ningún efecto secundario.

Pruebas rigurosas. Los ensayos clínicos incluyeron diversos grupos de personas de diferentes sexos, edades, razas y afecciones médicas subyacentes.
