THOUGH SOME CEILINGS HAVE BEEN SHATTERED, BARRIERS TO LATINOS’ FULL PARTICIPATION IN POLITICS PERSIST.
Councilwoman María Quiñones-Sánchez speaks with some of her constituents in District 7. AL DÍA Archives: 2011

C
ouncilwoman María Quiñones-Sánchez is headed into her 13th year representing District 7 on Philadelphia’s City Council. She has become so much of a fixture in Philly politics that it is easy to forget that when Quiñones-Sánchez was first elected to City Council in Nov. 2007, she was breaking down a significant barrier. That victory signalled the first time that a Latina would serve on the City Council in a city in which over 12% of the residents are Latino/Hispanic. It also marked the first time that a Latino of any gender was elected to represent a Councilmanic District. Barriers were broken — up to a point. Since that first election and subsequent successful runs, Quiñones-Sánchez continues to be the first — and only — Latina to ever serve on City Council. It is not a new story, and the underrepresentation is not confined to the local political sphere. At the national level, Latinos continue to be left behind in U.S. politics — although that could be changing. The 2018 Congressional midterms resulted in the highest number of Latinos in both the House of Representatives and the Senate ever recorded (and the rise of one of the most prominent Latinas in politics, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). But the numbers continue to fall short in proportion to the number of Latinos in the U.S. Currently, there are 36 Latinos in the House, and four in the Senate. According to a report from NBC News, to adequately reflect the nearly 18% of the population that Latinos represent, there would be 77

Though the factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of Latinos in local and national politics are multifaceted, in the pg. 10 profile of Quiñones-Sánchez, the councilwoman highlights one personal obstacle that initially held her back. She didn’t know how to tell her own story. “Culturally, Latina women are not taught to tell their stories,” she told AL DÍA. It’s not a panacea, but it’s a starting point for Latinos — and, specifically, Latinas — entering into politics, both locally and nationally. Tell your story, and use your voice. There is work to be done. z

a concejal María Quiñones-Sánchez se dirige a su decimotercer año representando al Distrito 7 en el Ayuntamiento de Filadelfia. Durante este tiempo, se ha convertido en un elemento tan importante en la política de Filadelfia que es fácil olvidar que cuando Quiñones-Sánchez fue elegida por primera vez al Concejo Municipal en noviembre de 2007, estaba rompiendo una barrera significativa. Esa victoria marcó la primera vez que una latina serviría en el Concejo Municipal en una ciudad en la que más del 12% de los residentes son latinos/hispanos. También marcó la primera vez que un latino de cualquier género fue elegido para representar un Distrito Concejal. Si, las barreras se rompieron, pero hasta cierto punto.

Los latinos continúan quedando atrás en la política estadounidense.
guientes elecciones exitosas, Quiñones-Sánchez continúa siendo la primera y única latina en servir en el Concejo Municipal. No es nada nuevo, y la falta de representación no se limita a la esfera política local. A nivel nacional, los latinos continúan quedando atrás en la política estadounidense, aunque existan algunos gestos de cambio. Las elecciones de mitad de período del Congreso en 2018, por ejemplo, dieron como resultado el mayor número de latinos en la Cámara de Representantes y en el Senado que se haya registrado (y el surgimiento de una de las latinas más prominentes en política, la representante Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). Pero los números continúan siendo cortos en proporción al número de latinos en los EE.UU. Actualmente, hay 36 latinos en la Cámara y cuatro en el Senado. Según un informe de NBC News, para reflejar adecuadamente el casi 18% de la población que representan los latinos, tendrían que haber 77 latinos en la Cámara y 18 en el senado. ¿Qué puede cambiar? Aunque los factores que contribuyen a la poca representación de los latinos en la política local y nacional son multifacéticos, en la pág. 10 el perfil de Quiñones-Sánchez destaca un obstáculo personal que inicialmente la detuvo. Ella no sabía cómo contar su propia historia. "Culturalmente, a las mujeres latinas no se les enseña a contar sus historias", dijo a AL DÍA. No es una panacea, pero es un punto de partida para que los latinos, y específicamente las latinas, entren en política, tanto a nivel local como nacional. z - EL EDITOR

(Foto de Mario Tama/Getty Images)
According to the report, the Immigration and Customs Agency (ICE) pays around $120 per day for each person detained at the ICA center, and an extra $28 per person "when the total number of detainees exceeds 500.” The more detainees the government can provide, the more extra $28 the detention centers will have, especially if obstacles such as the Flores Agreement are removed from the road. It is a partnership between the private and public sectors of the government system that include federal agencies, local governments, and private contractors, all moving to the beat of the government's anti-immigrant agenda. "Private detention centers house about 73 percent of ICE detainees on a given day," the report explains. "Public facilities, usually local prisons, have a smaller part of a population largely detained for administrative, non-punitive reasons." But this is nothing new. “Over the last four decades, a series of emergency stopgaps and bipartisan deals have created a new multibillion-dollar industry built on the incarceration of immigrants. As Emily Kassie recounts in her article for The Guardian, OCTOBER 2 - 9, 2019
"The United States’ reliance on immigrant detention is not a new phenomenon, nor did it emerge with Donald Trump (though its growth under his administration is staggering).” Kassie recalls the country's last four decades of history where "a series of emergency stopgaps and bipartisan deals has created a new multibillion-dollar industry built on the incarceration of immigrants." Historical data have determined how the number of people detained by immigration agencies - both at the time of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and now with ICE - "has grown more than twentyfold." Especially after the implementation of the zero-tolerance policy by the government of Donald Trump, which resulted in the separation of thousands of families, the indefinite detention of minors, and the increase in reports of abuse in detention facilities. Worth Rises, a nonprofit defense organization, has documented step by step the way in which this mega-industry has taken off with the Trump Administration, detailing, in particular, the system of retribution through political lobbying. Two of ICE's largest contractors, for example, are The GEO Group and CoreCivic, two for-profit companies whose 40% revenue is due to federal contracts. As Worth Rises explains, "these companies invested heavily in the outspoken federal, state, and local candidates interested in advancing harsh immigration policies like ‘zero tolerance’ during the 2016 election cycle.” In the worst-case scenario, and if politicians don’t do well within the Capitol, they can always retire as former president's chief of staff, John Kelly, and join the boards of detention centers. z
observar “los pactos entre las empresas privadas de detención y los funcionarios del gobierno”. Según el reporte, la Agencia de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE) paga alrededor de 120 dólares por día por cada persona detenida en el centro de ICA, y 28 dólares extra por persona “cuando el número total de detenidos supera los 500”. Mientras más detenidos consiga proveer el gobierno, más 28 dólares extra tendrán los centros de detención, en especial si se eliminan obstáculos como el Acuerdo Flores del camino. Se trata de una asociación entre las ramas privadas y públicas del sistema de gobierno que incluyen agencias federales, gobiernos locales y contratistas privados, todos moviéndose al compás de la agenda anti-inmigrante del gobierno.
“Los centros de detención privados albergan alrededor del 73 por ciento de los detenidos de ICE en un día determinado”, explica el reporte. “Las instalaciones públicas, generalmente las cárceles locales, tienen una parte menor de una población en gran parte detenida por razones administrativas, no punitivas”. Pero esto no es nada reciente. Según recuenta Emily Kassie en su artículo para The Guardian, “la dependencia de Estados Unidos de la detención de inmigrantes no es un fenómeno nuevo, ni surgió con Donald Trump (aunque su crecimiento bajo su administración es asombroso).” Kassie hace memoria de las últimas cuatro décadas de historia del país donde “una serie de interrupciones de emergencia y acuerdos bipartidistas han creado una nueva industria multimillonaria basada en el encarcelamiento de inmigrantes”. Cifras históricas han determinado cómo el número de personas detenidas por las agencias de inmigración – tanto en la época del Servicio de Inmigración y Naturalización como ahora con ICE – “ha aumentado más de veinte veces”. En especial después de la implementación de la política de tolerancia cero por parte del gobierno de Donald Trump, que trajo como consecuencia la separación de miles de familias, la detención indefinida de menores de edad, y el aumento de denuncias de maltrato en las instalaciones de detención. La organización de defensa sin fines de lucro, Worth Rises, ha documentado paso a paso la manera en la que esta mega industria ha despegado con la Administración Trump, detallando en especial el sistema de retribución a través del cabildeo político. Dos de los contratistas más grandes de ICE, por ejemplo, son The GEO Group y CoreCivic, dos compañías con ánimos de lucro cuyos ingresos se deben a contratos federales en más de un 40%. Según explica Worth Rises, “estas compañías invirtieron fuertemente en los candidatos federales, estatales y locales interesados en avanzar en políticas de inmigración severas como la ‘tolerancia cero’ durante el ciclo electoral del 2016”. En el peor de los casos, y si a los políticos no les va bien dentro del Capitolio, siempre pueden retirarse como el ex jefe de personal del presidente, John Kelly, y sumarse a las juntas directivas de centros de detenciones. z

Greta controversy. Her uncompromising position in defense of the young activist brought her many virulent and unfair criticisms from both the right and the left, which, she said, was very disappointing. “The argument that Greta cannot feel empathy because she was born in the first world speaks very badly of those who make, in my opinion, a projection of their own inability to empathize with people outside their own circle. The argument that Greta has greeted people who represent institutions directly responsible for the exploitation of the planet for the enrichment of few and the misery of many is laughable, being that in all her speeches she clearly and up front mentions the real problem of the indiscriminate use of resources. “The argument that long before Greta, many others have fought, suffered and even died in the fight for environmental justice is also simplistic and gross. The fact that the world is now rising after Greta and not after the others, because they were mestizos, or indigenous people not coming from the first world does not speak badly of Greta, it speaks badly of the rest of the world that has needed a white, European, Nordic to get up when it is everyone's responsibility to protect our planet.” It’s high time for the self-appointed judges of everything and everyone to shut up and humbly dedicate themselves to thanking this brave girl for her struggle to save the planet. z

La posición intransigente de Aranguiz en defensa de la joven activista le trajo muchas críticas virulentas e injustas tanto de la derecha como de la izquierda, lo que, según afirmó, fue muy decepcionante. “El argumento de que Greta no puede sentir empatía porque nació en el primer mundo habla muy mal de quienes hacen, en mi opinión, una proyección de su propia incapacidad para empatizar con personas fuera de su propio círculo.

representan a las instituciones directamente responsables de la explotación del planeta para el enriquecimiento de unos pocos y la miseria de muchos es ridículo, ya que en todos sus discursos ella menciona clara y directamente el verdadero problema del uso indiscriminado de recursos. “El argumento de que mucho antes de Greta, muchos otros han luchado, sufrido e incluso muerto en la lucha por la justicia ambiental también es simplista y grosero. El hecho de que el mundo ahora se esté levantando por Greta y no lo haya hecho por los demás, porque eran mestizos o indígenas que no vinieron del primer mundo, no habla mal de Greta, habla mal del resto del mundo que ha necesitado una blanca, europea, nórdica para levantarse cuando es responsabilidad de todos proteger nuestro planeta ".

ARRIVAL TO THE UNITED STATES
Silvia Roldán’s story began in Ecuador’s capital city of Quito. After spending much of her life in Santo Domingo, Roldán moved to the city of Cuenca to study at Universidad Tecnológica América. When Roldán later moved to Philadelphia, she began searching online for a place she could go to to help improve her English speaking and comprehension skills. That’s how she first came across the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians. Roldán credits the Welcoming Center with helping her grasp a better command of the English language through its ESL classes, and providing support for her to develop her business idea through their Business Training Program. The 12-week training program helped Roldán with the planning, marketing, management and operations for her eventual business. In 2017, Roldán launched the online boutique, Yaku Wear,

where she sells traditional and custom-made Panama hats, and jewelry.
THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF PANAMA HATS
Despite the name, Panama hats originated in Ecuador — Roldán’s native country — and are a product of the handiwork done in artisan villages throughout the country. The craft tradition is often passed down from generations, and the weaving of the hats are, for the most part, done by hand. In 2012, the art of weaving a traditional Panama hat was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. When Roldán began brainstorming names for her business, she wanted to come up with a name that connected the hats with their origins. The name ‘yaku’ is Kichwa, the language of the indigenous population in Ecuador, for ‘water.’ Roldán continues to import the hats from Ecuadorian artisans, and through a new project she hopes to soon start, customers will soon be able to have decorations on their hats. In the coming years, Roldán hopes to see her business grow enough to have a brick and mortar store in Center City Philadelphia, where she can sell her craft and continue helping people learn more about Ecuador and the significance of Panama hats. You can visit the Yaku Wear vendor stall at Reading Terminal Market or Cherry Street Pier during the weekends. z

A pesar del nombre, los sombreros de Panamá se originaron en Ecuador, el país natal de Roldán, y son producto del trabajo hecho en aldeas artesanales en todo el país. La tradición artesanal a menudo se transmite de generación en generación, y el tejido de los sombreros se realiza, en su mayor parte, a mano. En 2012, el arte de tejer un sombrero tradicional de Panamá se agregó a la lista del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la UNESCO. Cuando Roldán comenzó a intercambiar ideas para los nombres de su negocio, quería idear un nombre que conectara los sombreros con la forma en que están hechos. El nombre 'yaku' es la palabra en Kichwa, el idioma de la población indígena en Ecuador, para 'agua'. Roldán continúa importando los sombreros de artesanos ecuatorianos, y a través de un nuevo proyecto que espera comenzar pronto, los clientes pronto podrán tener decoraciones en sus sombreros. En los próximos años, Roldán espera ver crecer su negocio lo suficiente como para tener una tienda física en Center City Filadelfia, donde pueda vender su artesanía y continuar ayudando a las personas a aprender más sobre Ecuador y la importancia de los sombreros de Panamá.

EXPOSICIÓN TEMPRANA
Empezó en Hunting Park, donde Quiñones-Sánchez recuerda haberle traducido a su madre puertorriqueña, quien entonces les ofrecía los servicios de su hija a sus vecinos y amigos.

my shade was down, please don’t come,” said Quiñones-Sánchez. It’s a policy she still uses to this day for people on her block in Norris Square, and an early experience that instilled a willingness in Quiñones-Sánchez to always try to resolve any problem. She says she often takes this skill for granted, but thinking back, it’s a rare quality to develop at such a young age and it’s shaped her career since then. “I always knew I wanted to help people and it was very gratifying to be able to do that,” said Quiñones-Sánchez.
MARIA THE ACTIVIST
With that early mission in mind, Quiñones-Sánchez jumped into a career as a community activist. In that role, she took part in many different political and social campaigns on behalf of her community and raised millions for many different causes. Politically, Quiñones-Sánchez remembered her first election, during which she registered people to vote and was a self-described “human bulletin board” for her candidate. “And I still wasn’t old enough to vote,” she recalled. Later on, when Quiñones-Sánchez was regional director for the Puerto Rico Federal OCTOBER 2 - 9, 2019
“Llegó al punto en que le dije a mis vecinos que les enviaría señales con mi cortina. Si mi cortina está cerrada, por favor no lleguen”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez. Esa es una política que aún usa hoy en día para las personas que viven en su cuadra en Norris Square, y una experiencia temprana que inculcó la voluntad en Quiñones-Sánchez de siempre resolver cualquier problema. Dice que con frecuencia deja de valorar esta destreza, pero al reflexionar sobre la misma, es una cualidad que pocas veces se desarrolla a una edad temprana y desde entonces ha perfilado su carrera. “Siempre supe que quería ayudar a las personas y era muy gratificante poderlo hacer”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez.
MARIA LA ACTIVISTA
Con esa misión en mente desde temprano, Qiñones-Sánchez se lanzó en una carrera como activista comunitaria. En ese papel, participó en muchas diferentes campañas políticas y sociales en nombre de su comunidad y recaudó millones para una gran cantidad de diferentes causas. En términos de la política, Quiñones-Sánchez recordó su primera elección, en la que inscribió a los votantes y se describía a sí misma como “un tablón de anuncios humano” para su candidato. • 11

While there, her efforts resulted in the creation of Pennsylvania’s first bilingual charter school — Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community Charter School — in her neighborhood of Hunting Park.
“Y aún no tenía aún edad para votar”, recordó. Más adelante, cuando Quiñones-Sánchez fungió como directora regional para la Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration, dirigió la campaña Get-Outthe-Vote (GOTV) de sus siete ciudades. Al final la GOTV registró 32,000 nuevos electores y aumentó la participación en áreas seleccionadas por hasta 35% En términos sociales, fungió como la primera, y más joven, directora ejecutiva en la historia de ASPIRA --una organización dedicada al desarrollo de oportunidades de educación y liderazgo para los jóvenes hispanos. Mientras ocupó dicho cargo, sus esfuerzos condujeron a la creación de la primera escuela Charter bilingüe de Pensilvania — Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community Charter School — en su vecindario de Hunting Park.
“HUNTING PARK MADE AND PROUD”
Al día de hoy, Quiñones-Sánchez atribuye la inspiración de muchas de sus acciones mientras estuvo en funciones a su vecindario. “Soy hecha en y orgullosa de ser de Hunting Park”, dijo, “porque el registro legislativo refleja las experiencias de la vida real de mis amigos mientras crecimos en Hunting Park”. Un ejemplo citado por Quiñones-Sánchez fue su amor por los espacios abiertos, que atribuye a su acceso a Hunting Park mientras crecía. “Teníamos una piscina y un gazebo”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez. También es uno de los lotes grandes de espacio de parque abierto en la ciudad. En 2009, durante su primer período como miembro del Concejo municipal, Quiñones-Sánchez fue contribuidora del proyecto de revitalización de Fairmount Park Conservancy para Hunting Park --a pesar de que no estaba, técnicamente, en su distrito. “El parque está, físicamente, en el distrito de Clarke, pero él decía ‘Es que todo lo que sucede allí tiene que ver con María’”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez. “Es personal y eso me enorgullece”. El proyecto también es continuo. Quiñones-Sánchez estuvo presente en la revelación de las nuevas canchas de balonmano, en junio de 2018. Con respecto a la influencia de su vecindario en ciertas políticas, Quiñones-Sánchez dijo que había consultado los datos personales en Hunting Park al poner en práctica los Owner-Occupied Payment
To this day, Quiñones-Sánchez credits her neighborhood with inspiring a lot of her actions while in office. “I’m Hunting Park made and proud,” she said, “because the legislative record reflects the real-life experiences of my friends growing up in Hunting Park.” One example Quiñones-Sánchez cited was her love of open spaces, crediting it to her access to Hunting Park growing up. “We had a pool and we had a gazebo,” said Quiñones-Sánchez. It is also one of the bigger plots of open park space in the city. In 2009, during her first term on City Council, Quiñones-Sánchez was a contributor to the Fairmount Park Conservancy’s revitalization project for Hunting Park — despite it not technically being in her district. “The park is physically in Clarke’s district, but he’s like: ‘Everything that goes on there is

Most recently, Quiñones-Sánchez appeared at the unveiling of new handball courts in June 2018. In regards to her neighborhood’s influence on certain policies, Quiñones-Sánchez said she looked at personal data in Hunting Park when implementing Owner-Occupied Payment Agreements (OOPA) for overdue property taxes and the Tiered Assistance Program (TAP) for water bills. She said both are arguably her most successful pieces of legislation and based on seeing the lives of her neighbors and friends in the neighborhood who often had to choose which bill to pay on a daily basis. “I read, and I know policy,” said Quiñones-Sánchez, “but the lived experience is really what has generated the best policy.”
ACTIVIST TO CANDIDATE
That being said, before she could be an effective legislator, Quiñones-Sánchez admits there

Agreements (OOPA) para los impuestos sobre bienes vencidos y el Tiered Assistance Program (TAP) para las facturas de agua. Dijo que ambos son, sin lugar a dudas, sus disposiciones legislativas más exitosas y que se basan en observar las vidas de sus vecinos y amigos en los vecindarios quienes con frecuencia tenían que elegir qué factura pagar, diariamente. “Leo, y conozco la política”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez, “pero creo que la experiencia vivida es en realidad lo que ha generado la mejor política”.
DE ACTIVISTA A CANDIDATA
Dicho esto, Quiñones-Sánchez admite que antes de poder ser una legisladora eficaz, pasó por una curva de aprendizaje pronunciada en su transición de activista a candidata política. Antes de su victoria en 2007, Quiñones-Sánchez dirigió una campaña poco exitosa para el Concejo municipal en 1999. “Quería ser la parte operativa y la persona que ayudaba a las personas, pero una campaña no es el momento para hacerlo”, dijo,
“es para narrar una historia y organizarse para ser electa”. Lo que se produjo después de su candidatura infructuosa fueron ocho años de decisiones difíciles. “Si vas a hacer esto, lo harás para ganar”, recuerda decirse a sí mismas. “La mejor forma de ayudar a la gente que uno quiere ayudar es ser el candidato más eficaz y luego el legislador más eficaz”. Eso significa que Quiñones-Sánchez necesitaba volver a lo fundamental y confrontar algunas de las cosas hacia las que se sentía reacia si quería alcanzar el éxito. “Hacer el compromiso que para poder ser eficaz y ofrecerle una voz a las personas, que quiero ser una voz significa que tengo que hacer las cosas con las que me siento menos cómoda”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez Empezó con tomar algunas clases sobre la recaudación de fondos para campañas --algo que ella llamaba “el mal necesario”. “Después de recaudar millones de dólares para causas y cosas en las que creo, aún me disgusta”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez.

was a steep learning curve going from activist to political candidate. Before her triumph in 2007, Quiñones-Sánchez led an unsuccessful campaign for City Council in 1999. “I wanted to be the operative and the person to help people, but a campaign is not the time,” she said. “It’s to tell a story and organize to get elected.” What followed the failed run was eight years of tough decisions. “If you’re going to do this, then you’re going to do this to win,” she remembered telling herself. “The best way to help the people you want to help is to be the most effective candidate and then the most effective legislator.” It meant Quiñones-Sánchez needed to go back to the basics and confront some of the things she was most averse to if she were to succeed.

“Making a commitment that in order to be effective and provide a voice to the people I want to provide voice means I have to do things I’m the most uncomfortable doing,” said Quiñones-Sánchez It started by taking a few classes around campaign fundraising — something she called a “necessary evil.” “After raising millions of dollars for causes and things I believe in, I still hate it,” said Quiñones-Sánchez. Message-wise, she had to learn to tell her story — a process that her upbringing held her back from at first. “Culturally, Latina women are not taught to tell their stories,” said Quiñones-Sánchez. In the end, after her eight-year hiatus, Quiñones-Sánchez won her second time around in November 2007. On Election Day, she won 80% of the vote to become the first Latina ever elected to represent a district on Philadelphia City Council.
THE FIRST LATINA
The responsibility of being the first Latina is something Quiñones-Sánchez takes very seriously. “You don’t want to be the last and you don’t want to be the only,” she said. To make sure that won’t become a reality,
En cuanto al mensaje, tuvo que aprender a narrar su historia --un proceso del que se encontró, al principio, refrenada debido a su crianza. “Culturalmente, a las mujeres latinas no se les enseña a narrar sus historias”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez. Al final, tras un receso de ocho años, Quiñones-Sánchez ganó por segunda vez en noviembre de 2007. El día de las elecciones, obtuvo el 80% de los votos para convertirse en la primera mujer Latina jamás electa para representar a un distrito en el Concejo municipal de Filadelfia.
LA PRIMERA LATINA
La responsabilidad de ser la primera Latina es algo que Quiñones-Sánchez toma con suma seriedad. “Uno no quiere ser la última ni la única”, dijo. Para asegurarse que eso no sea una realidad, Quiñones-Sánchez se enorgullece de su accesibilidad. Aunque dijo que a veces es difícil de lograr, la concejal intenta devolver todas sus llamadas, asistir a cuantos eventos le sea posible, y sostener pláticas semanales acompañadas de un café con las personas en su distrito. “Intento estar disponible tanto para un salón de clases como para un elector que quiere sostener una plática personal”, dijo ella.
En cuanto a ser mentora, Quiñones-Sánchez lo ha sido para muchas jóvenes --algunas de quienes dijo ahora son mucho más exitosas que ella. Su oficina ofrece pasantías para mujeres jóvenes cada año. Su consejo para todas ellas es que sigan su propio camino. Lo que ella hizo es algo de lo que se puede aprender, pero sucedió en otro momento, lo que significa que ahora hay nuevos obstáculos que superar y nuevas formas para solucionar viejos obstáculos. “Hay que hacerlo de forma propia, hay que crear el propio camino”, dijo Quiñones-Sánchez.

AN ARCHETYPE OF OUR HISTORY
Quiñones-Sánchez has prided herself on her accessibility. While she said it is sometimes hard to manage, the Councilwoman tries to return all her calls, attend as many events as possible, and holds weekly coffee talks with people in her district. “I try to make myself as available to a classroom as I do a constituent who just wants to talk one-on-one,” she said. In terms of mentoring, Quiñones-Sánchez has done it for many young women — some of whom she said are now much more successful than herself. Her office also offers internships for young women every year. Her advice to all of them is to follow their own path. What she did is something to learn from, but it happened in a different time, meaning there’s new obstacles to overcome and new ways to solve old ones. “You gotta do it your way, you gotta create your own path-

way,” said Quiñones-Sánchez.
A FOURTH TERM AND BEYOND
In many ways, Quiñones-Sánchez is still charting her own path in politics 12 years after first being elected. She’s done her best to be the champion and cheerleader of a district that’s long struggled with chronic poverty, crime and drug addiction as one of a 17-member legislative body. What she admits she has lost in energy and passion over the years, Quiñones-Sánchez has gained in wisdom and a respect for the democratic process as a means of causing real change. “I never thought I could adhere to those rules,” she said. Going into her fourth consecutive term on City Council, Quiñones-Sánchez is focused on many different things. For one, she wants to work towards
changing the approach to the opioid crisis, a primary concern for Kensington, from a short-term to a long-term vision. “How do we move away from the crisis mode and make institutional changes?” Said Quiñones-Sánchez. Another debate in which she hopes to play a central role is with land reform. Many years ago, she was an outlier when creating the Philadelphia Land Bank, but said some of her colleagues are finally ready to move forward on legislation that could make it more effective. Beyond the next four years, Quiñones-Sánchez said she believes it will be time for Philadelphia to elect its first female mayor. And while recognizing other very accomplished women who could vie for the spot, she’s confident pitting her record against any of them come 2023. “It’s our time,” said Quiñones-Sánchez. z
ser una defensora y animadora de un distrito que lucha hace mucho tiempo con la pobreza crónica, el crimen y la adicción a las drogas como un miembro entre los 17 del órgano legislativo. Lo que admite que ha perdido en cuanto a energía y pasión en el transcurso de los años, Quiñones-Sánchez dice que ha ganado en sabiduría y un respeto por el proceso democrático como un medio para producir el cambio verdadero. “Nunca pensé que podría cumplir con esas normas”, dijo. Al empezar su cuarto período consecutivo en el Concejo municipal, Quiñones-Sánchez está enfocada en muchas cosas diferentes. Por un lado, quiere trabajar para cambiar el enfoque sobre la crisis de opioides, una de las principales preocupaciones de Kinsington, para que la visión a corto plazo sea una a largo plazo. “¿Cómo nos alejamos de estado de crisis y realizamos cambios
instituciones?”, planteó Quiñones-Sánchez. Otro debate en el que espera desempeñar un papel central es el de la reforma agraria. Hace muchos años, ella estuvo aislada al crear el Philadelphia Land Bank, pero dijo que algunos de sus colegas finalmente están listos para avanzar con respecto a la legislación que podría volverlo más eficaz. En el tiempo que vendrá después de estos próximos cuatro años, Quiñones-Sánchez creo que será el momento para que Filadelfia elija su primera alcaldesa. Y aunque reconoce que hay otras mujeres muy con grandes logros que podrían competir por el cargo, ella se siente segura en cuanto a postularse contra ellas en el 2023. “Es nuestro momento,” dijo Quiñones-Sánchez. z

hile working in the Mexican Air Force decades ago, Edgar Ramírez was working at a job where he said there “wasn’t much to do,
except obey.” Often bored, he began to read, secretly, while on his shift standing watch. One day, he was reading Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez’s masterpiece, One Hundred Years of Solitude, when his boss caught him in the act. He asked Ramírez what he was doing, and though afraid he would be dismissed for being distracted while on the job, Ramirez admitted he was reading a novel. To his surprise, his boss responded to the confession with a smile, and asked his opinion of the novel and literature in general. After discovering

Tenía que vigilar una puerta — siempre estaba aburrido y frecuentemente se ponía a leer “a escondidas.” Un día estaba leyendo aquella obra maestra de Gabriel García Márquez, Cien Años de Soledad, cuando el jefe le sorprendió. Al preguntarle qué hacía, Ramírez sintió miedo de perder su trabajo por estar leyendo, pero decidió sencillamente admitir lo que hacía: leer. Para su sorpresa, el hombre le respondió con una sonrisa, y le pidió que compartiera su opinión sobre la novela. Al descubrir que Ramírez disfrutaba de la lectura y tenía facilidad con la escritura, OCTOBER 2 - 9, 2019

CULTURE that Ramírez enjoyed literature and had an inclination towards reading and writing, his boss began giving him more opportunities to do different jobs in his unit, like being an adviser and working on field investigations. “Thanks to this incident I always have had the opportunity to work in other things apart from manual work, doing things exactly because of my habit of reading,” said Ramírez, the founder and host of Philatinos Radio, a community and digital radio station in South Philadelphia. Ramírez is currently dedicated to his work at Philatinos Radio, but has always maintained this love of books. As a result, it’s rare to see him without a book in hand, which has won him the nickname: “Señor del Libro”. Out of this great love of literature was born the idea of having a Latin American Book Fair in Philadelphia: a dream that Ramírez, Ana Omana, Leity Rodriguez-Largo, and a group of organizations and lovers of literature — including City Councilmember David Oh and cultural organizations like Acción Colombia, Casa de Venezuela, and Taller Puertorriqueño — are now making a reality. On Oct. 4, the first Latin American Book Fair in Philadelphia will be held from 10:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. in the central patio of City Hall. More than 28 local authors will present their works in Spanish, and there will be workshops, music, and dance to celebrate literature in Spanish and lovers of Spanish books that live in the City of Brotherly Love. In an interview with AL DÍA News on Sept. 10, Ramírez affirmed that the goal of the festival is not only to highlight the works of local authors who write in Spanish; it’s also to “promote reading for Latinos,” and make literature accessible with the goal of building a community that is a “fusion between writers and readers." Ramírez believes that literature has a great power in forming community and preserving memory and identity. He credits his

The group is already in the process of planning next year’s Latin American Book Fair, with the hope of inviting authors well-known at the national and international level to participate and uplift literature in Spanish in the city. The Latin American Book Fair Organizing committee is also planning a workshop for sometime after the festival, and will have at least one activity per month that has to do with Spanish literature. The First Latin American Book Fair will be held Oct. 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit the group’s web page, or their accounts in Facebook and Instagram. z
el jefe empezó a darle más oportunidades para hacer trabajos diferentes en el ejército, como ser asesor y hacer investigaciones de campo. “Gracias a ese incidente siempre he tenido la oportunidad de trabajar en otras cosas que no sea un trabajo manual, haciendo cosas precisamente por mi hábito de leer”, dice Ramírez, fundador y locutor de Philatinos Radio, una emisora comunitaria y digital del sur de Filadelfia. Actualmente Ramírez se dedica a su trabajo en Philatinos Radio, pero siempre ha mantenido este amor por la lectura que le hace siempre llevar un libro en la mano, un hábito que le ha ganado el apodo,“Señor del libro”.
De este gran amor por la literatura nació la idea de tener una feria del libro latinoamericano en Philadelphia: un sueño que ahora Ramírez, Ana Omana, Leity Rodríguez-Largo, y un grupo entero de organizadores y amantes de literatura — incluyendo el Concejal David Oh y las organizaciones culturales como Acción Colombia y Taller Puertorriqueño — están haciendo realidad. El 4 de octubre se llevará a cabo la Primera Feria del Libro Latinoamericano en Philadelphia. Desde las 10:30 a.m. hasta las 5:30 p.m. en el patio principal de la alcaldía, contando con la presentación de más de 28 autores locales, tertulias, música, y baile para celebrar la literatura junto a los amantes del libro que viven en la ciudad de amor fraternal. En una entrevista con AL DÍA News el 10 de septiembre, Ramírez afirmó que el objetivo de la feria no es sólo la de resaltar las obras de los escritores locales que escriben en español, sino también “fomentar la lectura en los latinos”, y hacerla “accesible”, con el fin de crear un grupo que produzca una “fusión entre escritor y lector”. Ramírez cree que la literatura tiene un gran poder de formar comunidad y preservar memoria e identidad. Da crédito a su afición por leer por lo mucho que ha aprendido y cómo le ha ayudado a “abrir la mente”. El objetivo de una propuesta como la Feria es crear “una agrupación de escritores que pueda convivir con sus lectores, y saber que aunque esas historias son íntimas, pues pueden servir a muchos para entendernos... para poder ponernos en los zapatos de los demás”, dice Ramírez. El grupo ya está en el proceso de planear la siguiente edición de la feria del libro latinoamericano en Philly para el año que viene, con la esperanza de invitar a algunos autores conocidos al nivel nacional e internacional. El grupo también está planeando una tertulia para después de la feria, y una actividad cada mes después del evento que tenga que ver con la literatura y que asegure que las personas que asisten a la feria mantengan este contacto. La primera feria será el viernes 4 de octubre a partir de las 10 de la mañana hasta las 5:30 de la tarde.

Check out our Q&A here: Tell us about your background / your family. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and moved to the United States when in 1st grade with my parents, my two brothers and my sister. My dad was offered a job in New York for a two year period. Once he was in the position they asked him to stay, so we did. The economy in Argentina was not nearly as good as this one, and we slowly were getting used to living in the states. My dad was still very traditional when it came to family customs. We had to always eat dinner together as a family, and we were forced to speak Spanish at home among our siblings and with our parents, even when our friends who only spoke English were over at our house! I'll admit growing up I sometimes felt embarrassed talking in Spanish as a kid, but now I couldn't be more grateful.

¿Por qué decidió regresar a hacer “reportajes de mercado”? Why did you decide to go back to “market reporting”? It's really fun! The markets are always changing and something is always happening. Sometimes it feels a little bit like sports; reporting on the winners and laggards. I get to talk about what companies are doing, innovations, and strategies and how they influence the way we live.
You have covered many stories throughout your career, can you tell us about a particular story that impacted your life? I'll share a story that showed me that anything is possible. When I was at NBC 10 /Telemundo 62 in Philly last year in the consumer reporting unit, I got a call from a viewer who recently had his limb amputated following an untreated foot infection. He had been a landscaper, spoke very little English and had no health insurance. The only way he could get around was in a wheelchair, and he asked if I could somehow help him walk again. I figured there had to be a way to help here. I contacted Limbs for Life, a local podiatrist, and a prosthetic and orthotics clinic near Philly which worked on pro bono cases. A whole team of people came together to help him. Today, he's walking with a prosthetic limb.

Have you ever felt that being a Latina created challenges in your career? If so, what are some of those challenges? Sure, one of the main challenges has been letting go of the need to try to prove myself as valuable as everyone else. When you come from a different culture, naturally you want to assimilate. I've always felt the need to work a little harder, because I've tried to prove something to those around me, and ultimately myself. I've let go of a lot of that, as I've learned to value my own self, regardless of my background. Another challenge is something thinking in the right language! I can go back and forth between Spanish and English in the blink of an eye. There are times though when I'm reporting in English and a certain word will come to mind in Spanish, or vice versa. I have to translate the word in my head quickly!
On the other hand, what are some of the advantages of being a Latina journalist? I've come to feel like I'm a true hybrid. I feel both American and Latina. It's great, I'm really comfortable and it helps to be able to look at things from different viewpoints.
Do you have any role models or mentors? My greatest role model is my mom. She had four awesome brothers, but as the only woman among her siblings, she was never really encouraged to attend college. When my sister and I went to college she would tell us how much she would've loved to have had studied at a university. She may not have a college degree, but she's the smartest woman I know. She can talk to you about pretty much any topic! She's intelligent, cultured, open-minded and has a positive outlook on life. She's most proud of the family she and my dad created. z
¡Es muy entretenido! Los mercados siempre están cambiando y siempre está ocurriendo algo. Algunas veces, se siente como hacer reportaje de deportes; se habla de los ganadores y los que quedan rezagados. Tengo la oportunidad de hablar sobre lo que hacen las compañías, las innovaciones y las estrategias, y de cómo esto influye en nuestras vidas.
Ha cubierto muchas historias a lo largo de su carrera, ¿nos puede contar sobre alguna en particular que haya causado impacto en su vida? Voy a contarles una historia que me demostró que todo es posible. El año pasado, cuando estaba en NBC 10 /Telemundo 62 en Filadelfia, en la unidad de reportaje de consumidores, me llamó un espectador que había perdido una pierna por una infección en el pie que no se sometió a tratamiento. Había sido
paisajista, hablaba poco inglés y no tenía seguro médico. La única manera de desplazarse era por medio de una silla de ruedas, y me preguntó si podía ayudarlo a caminar de nuevo. Pensé que aquí tenía que existir una manera de ayudar. Entré en contacto con Limbs for Life, una clínica local de podiatría, prótesis y órtesis cerca de Fili que atendía casos pro bono. Todo un equipo se unió para ayudarlo, y hoy él puede caminar con una prótesis.
¿Alguna vez ha sentido que ha tenido obstáculos en su carrera por el hecho de ser latina?, ¿cuáles han sido esas barreras? Claro que sí, uno de los retos principales ha sido dejar de demostrar que soy tan valiosa como cualquier otra persona. Cuando provienes de una cultura diferente, es natural querer integrarse. Por eso siempre sentí la necesidad de trabajar más para demostrar que soy capaz, ante los demás y en especial ante mí. Pero ya dejé eso de lado porque he aprendido a valorarme, independientemente de mi procedencia. !Otro reto es pensar en el idioma correcto! Puedo pasar del inglés al español en un segundo, pero, algunas veces cuando estoy haciendo un reportaje en inglés y una palabra en español aparece en mi mente, o el caso contrario, ¡tengo que traducirla rápido en mi cabeza!
Miremos la otra cara de la moneda, ¿cuáles han sido las ventajas de ser una periodista latina? Me siento como un verdadero híbrido; me siento tan americana como latina. Es una cualidad fabulosa con la que me siento muy cómoda y hace que vea las cosas desde perspectivas diferentes.
¿Hay modelos o mentores en su vida? Mi modelo a seguir más importante es mi madre. Ella tuvo tres hermanos excelentes, pero como la única mujer entre sus hermanos, nunca se le motivó a asistir a la universidad. Cuando mi hermana y yo asistíamos a la universidad, nos dijo lo mucho que le hubiera gustado haber estudiado en una.Puede que ella no haya ido a la Universidad, pero es la mujer más inteligente que conozco. ¡Te puede hablar casi de cualquier tema! Es inteligente, culta, de mente abierta y tiene una visión positiva de la vida. Su mayor orgullo es la familia que crearon ella y mi padre. z

Afghanistan's latest presidential election was considered one of the most challenging for voters in the nation’s history. Voters reported deficiencies and problems with the fingerprint voting system nationwide. Many people were denied the right to vote due to problems with machines not showing their names in voter registries. La última elección presidencial de Afganistán fue considerada una de las más difíciles para los votantes en la historia de la nación. Los votantes informaron deficiencias y problemas con el sistema por huellas digitales. Muchas personas no tuvieron derecho a votar debido a problemas con las máquinas que no mostraron sus nombres en los registros de votantes. OCTOBER 2 - 9, 2019

• PUBLIC NOTICE • PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF PENNSYLVANIA This notice contains information about a question that will be on the ballot in the Municipal Election to be held on November 5, 2019. The ballot question proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Pennsylvania, based on a joint resolution of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania. If this ballot question is approved by a majority of the people voting on it, the amendment will become law. The General Assembly of Pennsylvania first proposed the amendment during the 2018 session and approved it for a second time during the 2019 session of the legislature, as required by Article XI, Section 1 of the Constitution. This public notice is part of the process of amending the Constitution of Pennsylvania. The Secretary of the Commonwealth is required to publish: • A copy of the joint resolution proposing the amendment. • The text of the question that will be on the ballot. • A “Plain English Statement” prepared by the Office of Attorney General explaining the purpose, limitations and effects of the ballot question upon the people of this Commonwealth. Text that appears in bold print are the changes to the words of the Constitution that are proposed by the General Assembly. If the amendment is approved, the words underlined would be added to the Constitution. If you need help reading this advertisement or need the text of the proposed amendment in an alternative format, call or write the Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Election Services and Notaries, Room 210 North Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717) 787-5280, ra-BCEL@pa.gov.

Assembly, which shall be protected in a manner no less vigorous than the rights afforded to the accused: to be treated with fairness and respect for the victim’s safety, dignity and privacy; to have the safety of the victim and the victim’s family considered in fixing the amount of bail and release conditions for the accused; to reasonable and timely notice of and to be present at all public proceedings involving the criminal or delinquent conduct; to be notified of any pretrial disposition of the case; with the exception of grand jury proceedings, to be heard in any proceeding where a right of the victim is implicated, including, but not limited to, release, plea, sentencing, disposition, parole and pardon; to be notified of all parole procedures, to participate in the parole process, to provide information to be considered before the parole of the offender, and to be notified of the parole of the offender; to reasonable protection from the accused or any person acting on behalf of the accused; to reasonable notice of any release or escape of the accused; to refuse an interview, deposition or other discovery request made by the accused or any person acting on behalf of the accused; full and timely restitution from the person or entity convicted for the unlawful conduct; full and timely restitution as determined by the court in a juvenile delinquency proceeding; to the prompt return of property when no longer needed as evidence; to proceedings free from unreasonable delay and a prompt and final conclusion of the case and any related postconviction proceedings; to confer with the attorney for the government; and to be informed of all rights enumerated in this section. (b) The victim or the attorney for the government upon request of the victim may assert in any trial or appellate court, or before any other authority, with jurisdiction over the case, and have enforced, the rights enumerated in this section and any other right afforded to the victim by law. This section does not grant the victim party status or create any cause of action for compensation or damages against the Commonwealth or any political subdivision, nor any officer, employee or agent of the Commonwealth or any political subdivision, or any officer or employee of the court. (c) As used in this section and as further defined by the General Assembly, the term “victim” includes any person against whom the criminal offense or delinquent act is committed or who is directly harmed by the commission of the offense or act. The term “victim” does not include the accused or a person whom the court finds would not act in the best interests of a deceased, incompetent, minor or incapacitated victim. Section 2. (a) Upon the first passage by the General Assembly of this proposed constitutional amendment, the Secretary of the Commonwealth shall proceed immediately to comply with the advertising requirements of section 1 of Article XI of the Constitution of Pennsylvania and shall transmit the required advertisements to two newspapers in every county in which such newspapers are published in sufficient time after passage of this proposed constitutional amendment. (b) Upon the second passage by the General Assembly of this proposed constitutional amendment, the Secretary of the Commonwealth shall proceed immediately to comply with the OCTOBER 2 - 9, 2019

The Secretary of the Commonwealth shall submit this proposed constitutional amendment to the ualified electors of this Common ealth at the first primary, general or municipal election which meets the requirements of and is in conformance with section 1 of Article XI of the Constitution of Pennsylvania and which occurs at least three months after the proposed constitutional amendment is passed by the General Assembly. PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CR

CT
R GHTS
Ballot Question Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution be amended to grant certain rights to crime victims, including to be treated with fairness, respect and dignity; considering their safety in bail proceedings; timely notice and opportunity to take part in public proceedings; reasonable protection from the accused; right to refuse discovery requests made by the accused; restitution and return of property; proceedings free from delay; and to be informed of these rights, so they can enforce them? Plain English Statement of the Office of Attorney General The proposed amendment, if approved by the electorate, will add a new section to Article I of the Pennsylvania Constitution. That amendment will provide victims of crimes with certain, new constitutional rights that must be protected in the same way as the rights afforded to individuals accused of committing a crime. The proposed amendment defines “victim” as both a person against whom the criminal act was committed and any person who was directly harmed by it. The accused or any person a court decides is not acting in the best interest of a victim cannot be a victim. Generally, the proposed amendment would grant victims the constitutional right to receive notice and be present and speak at public proceedings involving the alleged criminal conduct. It would also grant victims the constitutional right to receive notice of any escape or release of the accused and the right to have their safety and the safety of their family considered in setting the amount of bail and other release conditions. It would also create several other new constitutional rights, such as the right to timely restitution and return of property, the right to refuse to answer questions asked by the accused, and the right to speak with a government attorney. Specifically, the proposed amendment ould establish the follo ing new rights for victims: To be treated ith fairness and respect for the victim s safety, dignity and privacy
To have the safety of the victim and the victim s family considered in fixing the amount of bail and release conditions for the accused To reasonable and timely notice of and to be present at all public proceedings involving the criminal or delinquent conduct To be notified of any pretrial disposition of the case ith the exception of grand ury proceedings, to be heard in any proceeding where a right of the victim is implicated, including, but not limited to, release, plea, sentencing, disposition, parole and pardon To be notified of all parole procedures, to participate in the parole process, to provide information to be considered before the parole of the offender, and to be notified of the parole of the offender To reasonable protection from the accused or any person acting on behalf of the accused To reasonable notice of any release or escape of the accused To refuse an intervie , deposition or other discovery re uest made by the accused or any person acting on behalf of the accused ull and timely restitution from the person or entity convicted for the unlawful conduct ull and timely restitution as determined by the court in a juvenile delinquency proceeding To the prompt return of property hen no longer needed as evidence To proceedings free from unreasonable delay and a prompt and final conclusion of the case and any related postconviction proceedings To confer ith the attorney for the government To be informed of all rights enumerated in this section The proposed amendment would allow a victim or prosecutor to ask a court to enforce these constitutional rights but would not allow a victim to become a legal party to the criminal proceeding or sue the Commonwealth or any political subdivision, such as a county or municipality, for monetary damages. Once added to the Pennsylvania Constitution, these specific rights of victims cannot be eliminated, except by a udicial decision finding all or part of the amendment unconstitutional or the approval of a subsequent constitutional amendment. If approved, the General Assembly may pass a law to implement these new, constitutional rights, but it may not pass a law eliminating them. If approved, State and local governments will need to create new procedures to ensure that victims receive the rights provided for by the amendment.

La enmienda brindará a las víctimas de crímenes ciertos derechos constitucionales nuevos que deben ser protegidos de la misma manera que los derechos otorgados a las personas acusadas de cometer un crimen. La enmienda propuesta define como “v ctima” tanto a una persona contra la cual se cometió el acto criminal como la persona que resultó directamente dañada por dicho acto. El acusado, o cualquier persona que una corte decida que no actúa en el mejor interés de la víctima, no puede ser una víctima. Por lo general, la enmienda propuesta otorgará a las víctimas el derecho constitucional de recibir aviso y estar presentes y hablar en procedimientos p blicos ue involucren la supuesta conducta criminal. Tambi n otorgar a las víctimas el derecho constitucional de recibir aviso de cualquier escape o liberación del acusado y el derecho de que se considere su seguridad y la seguridad de su familia al considerar el monto de la fian a y otras condiciones de liberaci n.

Si se aprueba, la Asamblea General podrá pasar una ley para implementar estos derechos constitucionales nuevos, pero no podrá pasar una ley para eliminarlos. Si se aprueba, los gobiernos locales y estatales necesitarán crear nuevos procedimientos para asegura que las víctimas reciben los derechos provistos por la enmienda.
