GROUP HELPS OLDER AMERICANS ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Suzanne Potter California News Service
Surveys show that 3 in 4 Americans older than 50 want to age in place, but climate change can make that difficult - and expensive. Next Tuesday, AARP is holding an online community conversation about adapting to climate change.
David Azevedo, associate director with AARP California, said making homes more climate resilient may become more difficult for older adults on a limited income, who lack emergency savings or the means to relocate.
"For housing, the change in climate can force homeowners to make necessary and often costly upgrades, such as filtration systems for areas prone to wildfires and smoke, or replacing air conditioning units with efficient ones in areas that are prone to extreme heat," Azevedo said.
Climate change can affect older adults' fitness and social life. For example, excessive heat or smoke from wildfires can keep people indoors, limiting opportunities to exercise or connect with family and friends, which increases the risk of social isolation.
Azevedo added heat is the number one weather-related cause of death in the U.S. with a disproportionate number of victims among older adults.
GRUPO AYUDA A LOS ANCIANOS A ADAPTARSE AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO

"En el caso de las viviendas," dice Azevedo "el cambio climático puede obligar a los propietarios a realizar mejoras necesarias y a menudo costosas, como sistemas de filtración en zonas propensas a incendios forestales y humos, o sustituir los aparatos de aire acondicionado por otros eficientes en zonas propensas al calor extremo."
El cambio climático puede afectar a la forma física y la vida social de las personas mayores. Por ejemplo, el calor excesivo o el humo de los incendios forestales pueden mantener a la gente en casa, limitando las oportunidades de hacer ejercicio o de relacionarse con la familia y los amigos, lo que aumenta el riesgo de aislamiento social.
Azevedo añade que el calor es la primera causa de muerte relacionada con el clima en Estados Unidos, con un numero desproporcionado de víctimas entre los adultos mayores.
"Older people are more susceptible to heat-related illnesses due to weakened cardiovascular systems, pre-existing health conditions, and the fact that many prescription medications used by older people impact temperature regulation and hydration," he said.
In 2025, California will launch an extreme-heat advanced warning system to help protect the public. AARP partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency - FEMA - to create a disaster resilience toolkit, which is on their website at http://bit.ly/3YyUEwN.

Lasencuestas muestran que tres de cada cuatro estadounidenses mayores de 50 años quieren envejecer en su casa, pero el cambio climático puede hacer que esto sea difícil y costoso. El próximo martes, A-A-R-P celebrara un debate comunitario en línea sobre la adaptación al cambio climático.
David Azevedo, de AARP California, afirma que hacer que las viviendas sean más resistentes al cambio climático puede resultar más difícil para las personas mayores con ingresos limitados, que carecen de ahorros de emergencia o de medios para reubicarse.
"Las personas mayores son más susceptibles a las enfermedades relacionadas con el calor debido al debilitamiento de su sistema cardiovascular, a problemas de salud preexistentes y al hecho de que muchos de los medicamentos que toman afectan a la regulación de la temperatura y a la hidratación," asegura Acevedo.
En 2025, California pondrá en marcha un sistema avanzado de alerta de calor extremo para ayudar a proteger a la población. AARP se asoció con la Agencia Federal para la Gestión de Emergencias (FEMA por sus siglas en ingles) para crear un conjunto de herramientas de resiliencia para desastres, que está en su sitio web http://bit. ly/3YyUEwN.

NEWSOM’S BEGUN CUTTING CALIFORNIA’S TIES WITH WALGREENS OVER ABORTION PILL — HOW FAR WILL HE GO?
It’s not clear how the decision might affect those enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for low-income residents. Walgreens is a key provider of prescriptions for the program.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s surprise announcement via Twitter this week that California would not do business with pharmacy giant Walgreens caused widespread confusion in a state where more than one-third of the population pays for prescriptions with government-funded health insurance.
Walgreens confirmed last week it would not distribute abortion pills, which are also commonly used for miscarriages, in 20 states where it faces legal pushback. In some of these states, the abortion pill — mifepristone — remains legal. However, Republican governors in these states threatened Walgreens and a cadre of retail pharmacies with legal consequences if they sell the pills.
The first specifics surfaced by midweek: Newsom’s office announced that the state will not renew a $54 million contract with Walgreens for “specialty pharmacy prescription drugs,” primarily for state prisoners.
But his overall retaliatory declaration took health plans across the state by surprise and raised myriad questions about the ripple effects of his decision.
“I’ll be honest, you are the first person telling me about this,” said Penny Griego, spokesperson for the L.A. Care Health Plan, the state’s largest Medi-Cal plan, on Monday. Medi-Cal is the public insurance option for low-income Californians and people with disabilities.
It also raised questions about whether Walgreens would be excluded from distributing the state’s generic insulin.
In a statement, Brandon Richards, a spokesperson for Newsom’s office, said “California is reviewing all relationships between Walgreens and the state. We will not pursue business with companies that cave to right wing bullies pushing their extremist agenda or companies that put politics above the health of women and girls.”
No further details were provided.
“The first question we’ve encountered is: ‘What will this mean for patients on Medi-cal who have their prescriptions at a Walgreens store currently?’”
-SUSAN BONILLA, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AT THE CALIFORNIA PHARMACISTS’ ASSOCIATION
Walgreens operates nearly 600 stores in California, accounting for about 10% of the state’s pharmacy market. It’s a key prescription provider for Medi-Cal insurers. Walgreens locations are listed in the state’s pharmacy directory for Medi-Cal enrollees.
In a statement, a Walgreens spokesperson said “From the outset, we have made our intentions clear to become a certified pharmacy to distribute Mifepristone wherever legally possible to do so.”
Earlier this year, the FDA approved rules allowing retail pharmacies like Walgreens to apply for certification to distribute the drug, something which the company is still pursuing. However, mifepristone remains legal in four of the states where attorneys general threatened Walgreens, contradicting its statement.
Mifepristone is part of a two-drug regimen used in medication abortions, which are legal up to 10 weeks gestational age in California. It is also commonly used and part of the recommended treatment for earlypregnancy miscarriages, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The drug has become the latest flashpoint for abortion rights in the U.S., with a federal judge in Texas poised to overturn FDA approval of mifepristone for use in terminating pregnancies. Medication abortions account for more than half of all abortions in the U.S., according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice policy research group.
Planned Parenthood of California, the local policy arm of the national organization, commended Newsom’s move.
¿CÓMO AFECTARÍA A BENEFICIARIOS DE MEDI-CAL QUE NEWSOM CORTE LAZOS CON WALGREENS POR NO DAR ACCESO A PÍLDORAS ABORTIVAS?
No está claro cómo la decisión podría afectar a los inscritos en Medi-Cal, el programa de seguro médico del estado para residentes de bajos ingresos. Walgreens es un proveedor clave de recetas para el programa.

estados donde los fiscales generales amenazaron a Walgreens, contradiciendo su declaración.
La mifepristona es parte de un régimen de dos medicamentos que se usa en los abortos con medicamentos, que son legales hasta las 10 semanas de edad gestacional en California. También se usa comúnmente y es parte del tratamiento recomendado para los abortos espontáneos tempranos en el embarazo, según la Academia Estadounidense de Médicos de Familia y el Colegio Estadounidense de Obstetras y Ginecólogos.
El fármaco se ha convertido en el último punto crítico para el derecho al aborto en los EE.UU., con un juez federal en Texas a punto de revocar la aprobación de la FDA de la mifepristona para su uso en la interrupción de embarazos. Los abortos con medicamentos representan más de la mitad de todos los abortos en los EE.UU., según el Instituto Guttmacher, un grupo de investigación de políticas a favor del derecho a decidir. Planned Parenthood of California, el brazo de política local de la organización nacional, elogió el tuit de Newsom.
“Planned Parenthood thanks Governor Newsom for continuing to stand strong in his support of abortion access and push back against the antiabortion movement that will not stop until they ban and criminalize abortion nationwide,” spokesperson Jennifer Wonnacott told CalMatters.
It is unclear how far California can go in cutting ties with the nation’s second-largest pharmacy chain and how that will trickle down to consumers, but California is known to flex its market power and influence. With a population of nearly 40 million, California is the most populous state in the nation. Newsom’s threat to cease business with Walgreens could potentially influence how other pharmacies respond, but it also raises thorny access questions for the state.
Nearly 80% of the state’s population lives within 5 miles of a Walgreens, according to Blue Shield of California, which has a partnership with Walgreens to make its pharmaceutical and preventive health care benefits more accessible. Blue Shield did not respond to questions from CalMatters by the deadline.
Blue Shield of California is one of several major Medi-Cal providers that contracts with Walgreens in addition to other companies for pharmaceutical benefits, according to their websites. Blue Shield, as well as Anthem Blue Cross, just received multi-million dollar contracts from the Department of Health Care Services to provide Medi-Cal benefits to residents across the Central Valley, San Diego and far northern counties, areas where access to health care is already limited by geography.
The Health Care Services department did not respond to questions about whether Medi-Cal contracts would be impacted by this decision.
Patients with L.A. Care also rely on Walgreens for innetwork benefits.
“The first question we’ve encountered is: ‘What will this mean for patients on Medi-Cal who have their prescriptions at a Walgreens store currently?’ That’s a question where we’ll be seeking clarity,” said Susan Bonilla, the chief executive officer at the California Pharmacists’ Association, which represents pharmacists across the state.
Walgreens’ decision to not distribute the abortion pill in some Republican-led states, was a decision that does not put the patient first, Bonilla said. “That’s a real problem when you’re talking about health care.”
“We appreciate the governor standing strong on behalf of women and the access they need,” she said. “The fact that he is applying counter pressure is very important.”
Abortion rights have become a signature issue for Newsom and one that Democrats leaned on heavily in the last election. Last year, the state Legislature and the governor signed a package of a dozen bills that aim to expand access to abortion services and protect patients and providers. Voters also approved a measure that enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution.

Elanuncio sorpresa del gobernador Gavin Newsom a través de Twitter el lunes de que California no haría negocios con el gigante farmacéutico Walgreens causó una confusión generalizada en un estado donde más de un tercio de la población paga las recetas con un seguro de salud financiado por el gobierno.
Walgreens confirmó la semana pasada que no distribuiría píldoras abortivas, que también se usan comúnmente para abortos espontáneos, en 20 estados donde enfrenta un rechazo legal. En algunos de estos estados, la píldora abortiva, la mifepristona, sigue siendo legal. Sin embargo, los gobernadores republicanos de estos estados amenazaron a Walgreens y a un grupo de farmacias minoristas con consecuencias legales si venden las píldoras.
El tuit de represalia de Newsom tomó por sorpresa a los planes de salud de todo el estado y generó innumerables preguntas sobre el efecto dominó de su decisión.
“Seré honesto, usted es la primera persona que me habla de esto”, dijo Penny Griego, vocera de LA Care Health Plan, el plan de Medi-Cal más grande del estado. Medi-Cal es la opción de seguro público para los californianos de bajos ingresos y las personas con discapacidades.
También planteó dudas sobre si Walgreens sería excluido de distribuir la insulina genérica del estado.
En un comunicado, Brandon Richards, portavoz de la oficina de Newsom, dijo: “California está revisando todas las relaciones entre Walgreens y el estado. No buscaremos negocios con empresas que cedan ante los matones de derecha que impulsan su agenda extremista o empresas que pongan la política por encima de la salud de las mujeres y las niñas”. No se proporcionaron más detalles y se ignoraron las preguntas de seguimiento.
“La primera pregunta que nos encontramos es:
‘¿Qué significará esto para los pacientes con Medical que actualmente tienen sus recetas en una tienda Walgreens?’”
-SUSAN BONILLA, DIRECTORA EJECUTIVA DE LA ASOCIACIÓN DE FARMACÉUTICOS DE CALIFORNIA
Walgreens opera cerca de 600 tiendas en California, lo que representa alrededor del 10% del mercado de farmacias del estado. Es un proveedor de recetas clave para las aseguradoras de Medi-Cal. Las ubicaciones de Walgreens se enumeran en el directorio de farmacias del estado para los afiliados a Medi-Cal.
En un comunicado, un portavoz de Walgreens dijo: “Desde el principio, hemos dejado en claro nuestras intenciones de convertirnos en una farmacia certificada para distribuir mifepristona donde sea legalmente posible”.
A principios de este año, la FDA aprobó las reglas que permiten a las farmacias minoristas como Walgreens solicitar la certificación para distribuir el medicamento, algo que la compañía aún está buscando. Sin embargo, la mifepristona sigue siendo legal en cuatro de los
“Planned Parenthood agradece al gobernador Newsom por seguir firme en su apoyo al acceso al aborto y rechazar el movimiento contra el aborto que no se detendrá hasta que prohíban y penalicen el aborto en todo el país”, dijo a CalMatters la portavoz Jennifer Wonnacott.
No está claro hasta dónde puede llegar California al cortar los lazos con la segunda cadena de farmacias más grande del país y cómo eso se filtrará a los consumidores, pero se sabe que California flexiona su poder e influencia en el mercado. Con una población de casi 40 millones, California es el estado más poblado de la nación. La amenaza de Newsom de dejar de hacer negocios con Walgreens podría influir potencialmente en la respuesta de otras farmacias, pero también plantea cuestiones de acceso espinosas para el estado.
Casi el 80% de la población del estado vive dentro de las 5 millas de un Walgreens, según Blue Shield of California, que tiene una asociación con Walgreens para hacer que sus beneficios farmacéuticos y de atención médica preventiva sean más accesibles. Blue Shield no respondió a las preguntas de CalMatters antes de la fecha límite.
Blue Shield of California es uno de varios proveedores importantes de Medi-Cal que tiene contratos con Walgreens además de otras compañías para beneficios farmacéuticos, según sus sitios web. Blue Shield, así como Anthem Blue Cross, acaban de recibir contratos multimillonarios del Departamento de Servicios de Atención Médica para brindar beneficios de Medi-Cal a los residentes de los condados del Valle Central, San Diego y el extremo norte, áreas donde el acceso a la atención médica ya está limitado por la geografía.
El departamento de Servicios de Atención Médica no respondió a las preguntas sobre si los contratos de Medi-Cal se verían afectados por esta decisión.
Los pacientes con LA Care también confían en Walgreens para obtener beneficios dentro de la red.
“La primera pregunta que nos encontramos es: ‘¿Qué significará esto para los pacientes con Medi-Cal que actualmente tienen sus recetas en una tienda Walgreens?’ Esa es una pregunta en la que buscaremos claridad”, dijo Susan Bonilla, directora ejecutiva de la Asociación de Farmacéuticos de California, que representa a los farmacéuticos de todo el estado.
La decisión de Walgreens de no distribuir la píldora abortiva en algunos estados liderados por republicanos fue una decisión que no pone al paciente en primer lugar, dijo Bonilla. “Ese es un problema real cuando se habla de atención médica”.
“Apreciamos que el gobernador se mantenga firme en nombre de las mujeres y el acceso que necesitan”, dijo. “El hecho de que esté aplicando contrapresión es muy importante”.
El derecho al aborto se ha convertido en un tema característico para Newsom y en el que los demócratas se apoyaron fuertemente en las últimas elecciones. El año pasado, la Legislatura estatal y el gobernador firmaron un paquete de una docena de proyectos de ley que tienen como objetivo ampliar el acceso a los servicios de aborto y proteger a pacientes y proveedores. Los votantes también aprobaron una medida que consagró el derecho al aborto en la constitución estatal.

WORKER SAFETY LAWS DON’T PROTECT THESE CALIFORNIA WORKERS. A NEW BILL WOULD CHANGE THAT
Jeanne Kuang CalMatters
MarthaHerrera worked for four years as a nanny in San Francisco, helping to care for a little girl who has physical and developmental disabilities.
The job included helping the girl get home from school, and carrying her and bathing her. One day while carrying the child, who had just started to walk at age 8, Herrera slipped and injured her back.
The conversation with the child’s parents was awkward and brief. They gave Herrera $300 as compensation for medical expenses and never reached out again, she said. The injury kept her out of work for three months.
“They just said, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry; that’s too bad,’” Herrera said, 56, through a Spanish interpreter. “I felt not valued and disposable.”
In that employment arrangement there were few places for Herrera to turn. Domestic workers — those who are privately hired to provide services in a home — aren’t covered by the state’s or the nation’s occupational safety laws, which require most employers to meet standards to prevent injury and ensure a safe place to work.
That could change soon. A proposal in the state Senate sponsored by the California Domestic Workers Coalition would remove the exclusion, opening the door for the state’s Division of Occupational Health and Safety (CalOSHA) to issue workplace safety rules for any household employing a domestic worker.
More than 300,000 California workers, mostly immigrants and women of color, were employed in domestic work for about 2 million households, according to a 2020 UCLA Labor Center report. Typically they’re house cleaners, gardeners or nannies. Many take care of seniors or people with disabilities, a sector where demand is growing with an aging population.
They’re also the only workers left out of workplace safety protections — a decades-old exclusion with racist origins, advocates say.
Safety at home
The bill filed by state Sen. María Elena Durazo, a Los Angeles Democrat, comes on the heels of a January report by an advisory committee of workers — including Herrera — their advocates, employers of domestic workers and occupational safety experts. The state’s Department of Industrial Relations, which includes CalOSHA, convened the committee last year at the direction of the Legislature after Gov.
Gavin Newsom vetoed an earlier version of the workplace safety proposal.
The report contains more than a dozen policy recommendations and a set of guidelines for employers to maintain a safe worksite in their homes, covering everything from the usage of cleaning chemi-
cals to safe lifting practices to avoid injury.
The guidelines are optional. The workers coalition hopes they could soon be adopted into formal state regulations if Durazo’s proposal passes.

ers to its workplace safety laws. But no states have issued detailed guidelines for employers like California’s committee has, said Kimberly Alvarenga, director of the domestic workers coalition.
“The goal of this is really to prevent injuries and hazards from happening, as it would be with any other industry, and all the privileges that you and I have every day when we go to work,” Alvarenga said.
No guidelines
Domestic workers have been left out of labor protections since the New Deal in the 1930s, when Congress first established a federal minimum wage and a right to overtime pay.
In the state’s workplace safety law, under the definition of employees covered, four words remain: “except household domestic service.”
In what historians call a concession to Southern lawmakers, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 excluded domestic servants and farmworkers — two types of work largely performed by Black laborers post-Reconstruction. The same exclusions were part of federal occupational health and safety laws decades later; California modeled its original labor laws after the federal counterparts.
CalOSHA does cover farmworkers. And California has extended protections on wages and working hours to both farmworkers and domestic workers. Domestic workers also gained the right to overtime pay and meal and rest breaks with a 2013 law that became permanent in 2016.
But in the state’s workplace safety law, under the definition of employees covered, four words remain: “except household domestic service.”
‘Life and death’
This became a bigger concern for advocates in recent years when reports emerged during California wildfires that domestic workers were required to work in evacuation zones and to clean houses before the smoke and ash had subsided.
“That’s what really got my attention,” Durazo said. “That was life and death.”
The Legislature passed a bill Durazo authored in 2020 to remove the workers’ exclusion from CalOSHA regulation. There was no formal opposition group, but Newsom vetoed the bill over concerns that turning private households into worksites would be onerous for renters and homeowners.
“The places where people live cannot be treated in the exact same manner as a traditional workplace or worksite

Workers who clean houses or take care of children and the elderly are in a class by themselves; they are not covered by state or federal workplace safety regulations. The exclusion has racist origins, advocates say.

from a regulatory perspective,” Newsom wrote in his veto letter. “Many individuals to whom this law would apply … lack the expertise to comply with these regulations.”
Durazo and the workers coalition tried again in 2021 and compromised with the governor by agreeing to an advisory committee to study making private homes safer for workers. The committee met throughout 2022 and issued its report in January.
The first recommendation is to remove the workplace safety exclusion.
Durazo called concerns that state inspectors would visit every home that hires a housekeeper unfounded. She proposes a more gradual process, involving outreach to the homeowner.
“This is about fixing these homes, if they need it, so that it’s safer for everybody, and there’s a certain formality, because it would be a requirement,” Durazo said. “It’s not a typical workplace … but it is a workplace.”
Few exceptions
Currently if CalOSHA gets a workplace safety complaint from a cleaner, gardener or caretaker, the agency considers a variety of factors to decide whether the complaint falls under the exception for domestic service, before determining if it has jurisdiction to inspect, agency Deputy Chief Carl Paganelli told the advisory committee last year.
Household domestic service includes caring for people in a home, or maintaining the home, a Department of Industrial Relations spokesperson said, but does not include major construction projects on a house. At any rate, it’s unclear how many complaints the agency has received for domestic work. The Department of Industrial Relations said it does not track complaints from domestic workers and declined to give an interview.
The bill would give CalOSHA jurisdiction over domestic workers but exclude family daycares and in-home caregivers who are paid by the state and covered by their own bargaining agreements.
“The places where people live cannot be treated in the exact same manner as a traditional workplace or worksite.”
While no groups of homeowners or employers of domestic labor formally opposed the bill in 2020, efforts to extend labor protections have raised concerns among disability advocates. More than a decade ago, a proposal to extend overtime to domestic workers initially drew complaints that it would burden low-income people with disabilities who rely on caregivers.
This time Disability Rights CA lobbyist Gregory Cramer said stronger workplace protections might incentivize more work-
ers to stay in the caretaking field. The organization has not taken a position on this bill, but Cramer said the group is “generally in favor of” strong workplace safety standards.
Helping employers
Advisory committee members, some of whom employ caretakers or nannies in their homes, said they took employers’ concerns seriously. Included in their report are recommendations for the state to help employers comply with new regulations, including alternatives to on-site inspections, such as phone calls and mediation programs, to protect homeowners’ privacy.
The bill also includes a financial aid program to help low-income employers make improvements, such as installing lifts. That would be safer than having workers carry clients into bed, committee members said.
Nikki Brown-Booker, an advisory member, said the guidelines will help employers see potential hazards in their home they might not have noticed before.
Brown-Booker, 55, uses a wheelchair and employs six caretakers and personal attendants who help her bathe, cook meals, clean her house and get into bed. She said she long ago installed a lift so she and her workers feel safer.
Herrera, the nanny who injured her back and now sits on the committee, said it’s important to have the voluntary guidelines backed up by law. She now lives in Richmond and cleans houses.
“Having that law also would make it so that employers recognize that this is real work, that our work is valuable in their homes,” Herrera said.
Guidelines for avoiding some common domestic work hazards from the SB 321 Advisory Committee
• Chemicals: Label cleaning supplies, use safer alternatives and avoid mixing chemicals and products.
• Lifting, carrying, bending and repetitive motions: Provide tools with longer or cushioned handles, provide knee pads, ensure rests, lighten loads, install lifting devices.
• Infectious disease: Provide personal protective equipment, avoid needles if possible, isolate contaminated laundry.
• Slips and falls: Remove potential trip hazards, secure carpets and rugs, ensure enough time to complete tasks.
• Heat: Provide access to water and shade, use fans and ventilation, train workers to recognize heat stress.
• Wildfire smoke: Monitor air quality index, ensure workers have transportation away from a home if it’s in an evacuation zone.
LAS LEYES DE SEGURIDAD LABORAL NO PROTEGEN A TRABAJADORAS DOMÉSTICAS DE CALIFORNIA PERO UN NUEVO PROYECTO DE LEY CAMBIARÍA ESO
Los trabajadores que limpian casas o cuidan niños y ancianos son una clase aparte; no están cubiertos por las normas estatales o federales de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo. La exclusión tiene orígenes racistas, dicen los defensores.

MarthaHerrera trabajó durante cuatro años como niñera en San Francisco, ayudando a cuidar a una niña pequeña que tiene discapacidades físicas y del desarrollo.
El trabajo incluía ayudar a la niña a llegar a casa de la escuela, cargarla y bañarla. Un día, mientras cargaba a la niña, que acababa de empezar a caminar a los 8 años, Herrera resbaló y se lesionó la espalda.
La conversación con los padres del niño fue incómoda y breve. Le dieron a Herrera $300 como compensación por gastos médicos y nunca más se acercaron, dijo. La lesión la mantuvo sin trabajo durante tres meses.
“Simplemente dijeron, ‘Oh, lo siento mucho; eso es muy malo’”, dijo Herrera, de 56 años, a través de un intérprete de español. “Me sentí no valorado y desechable”.
En ese arreglo laboral, Herrera tenía pocos lugares a los que acudir. Los trabajadores domésticos, aquellos que son contratados de forma privada para brindar servicios en el hogar, no están cubiertos por las leyes de seguridad ocupacional del estado o de la nación, que requieren que la mayoría de los empleadores cumplan con los estándares para prevenir lesiones y garantizar un lugar seguro para trabajar.
Eso podría cambiar pronto. Una propuesta en el Senado estatal patrocinada por la Coalición de Trabajadores Domésticos de California eliminaría la exclusión, abriendo la puerta para que la División de Salud y Seguridad Ocupacional (CalOSHA) del estado emita reglas de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo para cualquier hogar que emplee a un trabajador doméstico.
Más de 300,000 trabajadores de California, en su mayoría inmigrantes y mujeres de color,
fueron empleados en el trabajo doméstico para aproximadamente 2 millones de hogares, según un informe del Centro Laboral de UCLA de 2020. Por lo general, son limpiadores de casas, jardineros o niñeras. Muchos cuidan a personas mayores o discapacitadas, un sector donde la demanda crece con el envejecimiento de la población.
También son los únicos trabajadores que quedan fuera de las protecciones de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo, una exclusión de décadas con orígenes racistas, dicen los defensores.
Seguridad en casa
El proyecto de ley presentado por la senadora estatal María Elena Durazo, demócrata de Los Ángeles, surge inmediatamente después de un informe de enero de un comité asesor de trabajadores, que incluye a Herrera, sus defensores, empleadores de trabajadores domésticos y expertos en seguridad ocupacional. El Departamento de Relaciones Industriales del estado, que incluye a CalOSHA, convocó al comité el año pasado bajo la dirección de la Legislatura después de que el gobernador Gavin Newsom vetara una versión anterior de la propuesta de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo.
El informe contiene más de una docena de recomendaciones de políticas y un conjunto de pautas para que los empleadores mantengan un lugar de trabajo seguro en sus hogares, que cubre todo, desde el uso de productos químicos de limpieza hasta prácticas seguras de levantamiento para evitar lesiones.
Las pautas son opcionales. La coalición de trabajadores espera que pronto puedan ser adoptados en regulaciones estatales formales si se aprueba la propuesta de Durazo.
En 2021, Virginia agregó a los trabajadores domésticos a sus leyes de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo. Pero ningún estado ha emitido pautas detalladas para los emplead-

ores como lo ha hecho el comité de California, dijo Kimberly Alvarenga, directora de la coalición de trabajadores domésticos.
“El objetivo de esto es realmente evitar que ocurran lesiones y peligros, como lo sería con cualquier otra industria, y todos los privilegios que usted y yo tenemos todos los días cuando vamos a trabajar”, dijo Alvarenga.
Sin pautas
Los trabajadores domésticos han quedado fuera de las protecciones laborales desde el New Deal en la década de 1930, cuando el Congreso estableció por primera vez un salario mínimo federal y el derecho al pago de horas extras.
En la ley de seguridad laboral del estado, bajo la definición de empleados cubiertos, quedan cinco palabras: “excepto servicio doméstico para hogares”.
En lo que los historiadores llaman una concesión a los legisladores sureños, la Ley de Normas Laborales Justas (Fair Labor Standards Act ) de 1938 excluyó a los trabajadores domésticos y agrícolas , dos tipos de trabajo realizados en gran medida por trabajadores de raza negra después de la Reconstrucción. Las mismas exclusiones fueron parte de las leyes federales de seguridad y salud ocupacional décadas después; California modeló sus leyes laborales originales a partir de sus contrapartes federales.
CalOSHA cubre a los trabajadores agrícolas. Y California ha extendido las protecciones sobre los salarios y las horas de trabajo tanto a los trabajadores agrícolas como a los trabajadores domésticos. Los trabajadores domésticos también obtuvieron el derecho al pago de horas extras y descansos para comer y descansar con una ley de 2013 que se convirtió en permanente en 2016.
Pero en la ley de seguridad laboral del estado, bajo la definición de empleados cubiertos, quedan cinco palabras: “excepto servicio doméstico para hogares”.
‘Vida y muerte’
Esto se convirtió en una preocupación mayor para los defensores en los últimos años cuando surgieron informes durante los incendios forestales de California de que los trabajadores domésticos debían trabajar en las zonas de evacuación y limpiar las casas antes de que el humo y las cenizas se calmaran.
“Eso es lo que realmente me llamó la atención”, dijo Durazo. “Eso era vida o muerte”.
La Legislatura aprobó un proyecto de ley escrito por Durazo en 2020 para eliminar la exclusión de los trabajadores de la regulación de CalOSHA. No hubo un grupo de oposición formal, pero Newsom vetó el proyecto de ley por la preocupación de que convertir hogares privados en lugares de trabajo sería oneroso para inquilinos y propietarios.
“Los lugares donde vive la gente no pueden tratarse exactamente de la misma manera que un lugar de trabajo o lugar de trabajo tradicional desde una perspectiva regulatoria”, escribió Newsom en su carta de veto.
“Muchas personas a quienes se aplicaría esta ley… carecen de la experiencia para cumplir con estas regulaciones”.
Durazo y la coalición de trabajadores lo intentaron nuevamente en 2021 y se comprometieron con el gobernador al aceptar un comité asesor para estudiar cómo hacer que los hogares privados sean más seguros para los trabajadores. El comité se reunió a lo largo de
2022 y emitió su informe en enero.
La primera recomendación es eliminar la exclusión de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo.
Durazo calificó de infundadas las preocupaciones de que los inspectores estatales visitarían cada hogar que contrata a un ama de llaves. Ella propone un proceso más gradual, que implica llegar al propietario.
“Se trata de arreglar estas casas, si lo necesitan, para que sea más seguro para todos, y hay cierta formalidad, porque sería un requisito”, dijo Durazo. “No es un lugar de trabajo típico… pero es un lugar de trabajo”.
Pocas excepciones
Actualmente, si CalOSHA recibe una queja de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo de un limpiador, jardinero o cuidador, la agencia considera una variedad de factores para decidir si la queja se incluye en la excepción del servicio doméstico, antes de determinar si tiene jurisdicción para inspeccionar, dijo el subdirector de la agencia, Carl Paganelli al comité asesor el año pasado.
El servicio doméstico incluye el cuidado de las personas en un hogar o el mantenimiento del hogar, dijo un portavoz del Departamento de Relaciones Industriales, pero no incluye proyectos importantes de construcción de una casa. De todos modos, no está claro cuántas denuncias ha recibido la agencia por trabajo doméstico. El Departamento de Re-
laciones Industriales dijo que no rastrea las quejas de los trabajadores domésticos y se negó a dar una entrevista.
El proyecto de ley otorgaría a CalOSHA jurisdicción sobre los trabajadores domésticos, pero excluiría a las guarderías familiares y a los cuidadores en el hogar que son pagados por el estado y están cubiertos por sus propios acuerdos de negociación.
“Los lugares donde vive la gente no pueden ser tratados exactamente de la misma manera que un lugar de trabajo o lugar de trabajo tradicional”.
-GOBERNADOR GAVIN NEWSOM
Si bien ningún grupo de propietarios de viviendas o empleadores de trabajo doméstico se opuso formalmente al proyecto de ley en 2020, los esfuerzos para extender las protecciones laborales han generado preocupación entre los defensores de las personas con discapacidad. Hace más de una década, una propuesta para extender las horas extras a los trabajadores domésticos generó inicialmente quejas de que sería una carga para las personas con discapacidades de bajos ingresos que dependen de los cuidadores.
Esta vez, el cabildero de Disability Rights CA, Gregory Cramer, dijo que protecciones más fuertes en el lugar de trabajo podrían incentivar a más trabajadores a permanecer en el campo del cuidado. La organización no ha

Ayudar a los empleadores
Los miembros del comité asesor, algunos de los cuales emplean cuidadores o niñeras en sus hogares, dijeron que se tomaban en serio las preocupaciones de los empleadores. En su informe se incluyen recomendaciones para que el estado ayude a los empleadores a cumplir con las nuevas regulaciones, incluidas alternativas a las inspecciones en el lugar, como llamadas telefónicas y programas de mediación, para proteger la privacidad de los propietarios.
El proyecto de ley también incluye un programa de ayuda financiera para ayudar a los empleadores de bajos ingresos a realizar mejoras, como la instalación de ascensores. Eso sería más seguro que hacer que los trabajadores lleven a los clientes a la cama, dijeron los miembros del comité.
Nikki Brown-Booker, miembro asesor, dijo que las pautas ayudarán a los empleadores a ver los peligros potenciales en su hogar que quizás no hayan notado antes.
Brown-Booker, de 55 años, usa una silla de ruedas y emplea a seis cuidadores y asistentes personales que la ayudan a bañarse, cocinar, limpiar su casa y acostarse. Ella dijo que hace mucho tiempo instaló un ascensor para que ella y sus trabajadores se sientan más seguros.
Herrera, la niñera que se lastimó la espalda y ahora forma parte del comité, dijo que es importante que las pautas voluntarias estén respaldadas por la ley. Ahora vive en Richmond y limpia casas.
“Tener esa ley también haría que los empleadores reconozcan que este es un trabajo real, que nuestro trabajo es valioso en sus hogares”, dijo Herrera.
Recomendaciones para evitar algunos riesgos laborales domésticos comunes del Comité Asesor SB 321
• Químicos: etiquete los productos de limpieza, use alternativas más seguras y evite mezclar productos químicos y productos.
• Levantamiento, transporte, flexión y movimientos repetitivos: Proporcione herramientas con sostenes más largos o acolchonados, proporcione rodilleras, asegure los descansos, aligere las cargas, instale dispositivos de elevación.
• Enfermedad infecciosa: Proporcione equipo de protección personal, evite las agujas si es posible, aísle la ropa contaminada.
• Resbalones y caídas: elimine los peligros potenciales de tropiezos, asegure alfombras y tapetes, asegure suficiente tiempo para completar las tareas.
• Calor: Proporcione acceso a agua y sombra, use ventiladores y ventilación, capacite a los trabajadores para que reconozcan el estrés por calor.
• Humo de incendios forestales: controle el índice de calidad del aire, asegúrese de que los trabajadores tengan transporte lejos de una casa si está en una zona de evacuación.

GAVIN NEWSOM MOVED TO CLOSE 4 CALIFORNIA PRISONS . HOW MANY MORE CAN HE SHUT?
Nigel Duara CalMatters California
used to need lots and lots of prisons. Big prisons, little prisons, prisons with special cells for gang leaders and prisons for those convicted of nonviolent financial chicanery. There were so many prisoners packed into so many prisons that federal courts intervened, mandating that the state find a way to alleviate the overcrowding.
At the inmate population’s peak in 2006, California incarcerated 165,000 people in state prisons.
Today — after a decade of sentencing reforms and a surge of releases tied to COVID-19 — California prisons house a little more than 95,000 people.
So how many prisons does California actually need?
“Difficult decisions have to be made, but if we don’t make those decisions, the alternative is paying hundreds of millions for prison beds we don’t need to be paying for,” said Caitlin O’Neil, an analyst at the Legislative Analyst’s Office.
O’Neil is the co-author of a new report that lays out how the state can close up to nine of its 33 prisons and eight yards within operating prisons while still complying with a federal court order that caps the system’s capacity.
The potential closures signal a seachange in California criminal justice, representing the wind-down of the toughon-crime policies that packed prisons in the 1990s and offering one of the few ways the state can cut costs in its $18 billion prison system.
“If we don’t make those decisions, the alternative is paying hundreds of millions for prison beds we don’t need to be paying for.”
closed Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy. The California Correctional Center in Susanville is scheduled to close in June, along with yards at six other prisons.
Two other prisons, in Blythe and in California City, are scheduled to close by March 2025.
Even after those shutdowns, according to the LAO analysis, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has the space to close five more entire prisons by 2027. Today, the corrections department operates 15,000 empty beds, according to the LAO. That number is expected to reach 20,000 empty beds by 2027.
“The state pays for empty beds, and that number hasn’t been justified at this point, “O’Neil said. “It’s really just math, simple arithmetic.”
Some of the communities are rallying to fight the closures. Susanville unsuccessfully sued the state to halt the shutdown of California Correctional Center. Officials in Blythe are making their own plan to lobby for local jobs.
“You’re going to lose prison families and their children,” said Blythe Vice Mayor Johnny Rodriguez. “If they do close this, all these families have to go somewhere else.”
Which California prisons should close?
The state is committed to reducing its inmate population, a process that began in earnest with new laws in 2011 that diverted more convicted people from prison to local jails. California now spends about $106,000 each year to keep a person incarcerated for a year,
according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office. Political support for those expenses has been dropping, particularly among Democrats.
The goal, O’Neil wrote in the LAO report, should be for the state to avoid spending on major capital improvement projects at a prison, then deciding to shut it down, like the audiovisual surveillance system installed at the prison in Blythe, or the $31 million health care facility built at the California City prison in 2021 – just months before the state announced its closure.
But deciding which facilities to close based on their infrastructure needs has proven to be a frustrating analysis for legisla-
tors.
Assembly Budget Committee chairman Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat, said the report is “significant,” but wonders how to implement the closures when he has had trouble parsing just how the prison system chooses which facilities it plans to mothball.
“We appreciate and we understand how difficult the job is that they are doing, but it has been difficult getting the most basic information,” Ting said. “Like for example, we asked for information on capital planning, so instead of actually giving us a plan, they just told us all the deferred maintenance for every single facility across all the prisons.
“Uh, well, that’s fine, but they didn’t tell us what’s the schedule, which ones are taken first, which ones they’re doing last. And then when they present the report to us, with their budget requests, they don’t really give us any sense of how they were prioritized.”
CDCR did not respond to calls and emails seeking comment. Neither did the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, the union representing prison guards.
Some advocates want fewer prisons
For prison abolitionists like Woods Ervin, co-director of the anti-prison activist group Critical Resistance, the LAO report’s conclusions were “super exciting” and come close to their group’s goals of closing ten prisons, and announcing the closures by 2025.
“This is big,” Ervin said. Once the prisons close, Ervin said, prison abolitionists are also watching what becomes of the facilities themselves.
“We clearly don’t want public facilities to become privatized and then reused for immigration detention,” Ervin said. ”Nor do we want it to be used for any kind of extractive industry.”
The closures, they said, should be followed by the state directing money to both the communities that lose a prison and to the home communities of the people who were incarcerated.
What happened in Susanville
The question of what becomes of a town that once relied on a prison played out in Susanville last year, where the 1,600-bed, minimum-security California Correctional Center was scheduled for closure before
the city sued in state court, claiming the shutdown violated environmental laws and failed to follow the prison system’s own rules for choosing which facilities to close.
A judge dismissed the case when the Legislature passed a bill that exempted all prison closures from environmental review.
City officials in Blythe watched what happened in Susanville and worried. Their facility, the Chuckawalla Valley State Prison, is scheduled to close by March 2025.
Blythe is a rural community dependent on its prison not just for jobs, but the ripple effects of a big employer, said Rodriguez, the city’s vice mayor. The prisoners who cannot be treated in prison come to the community hospital, which means more medical jobs in town. The schools will shrink, he said, and teachers will lose their jobs. The inmate program at Palo Verde College would disappear, costing the institution about 250 students each semester.
“It has been difficult getting the most basic information.”
-ASSEMBLYMEMBER PHIL TING, SAN FRANCISCO DEMOCRAT
Rodriguez, a former Riverside County sheriff’s deputy, said more prisons mean fewer people breaking the law.
“With all the crime in California, you see the benefits of not having criminals in the community,” Rodriguez said.
(While certain crimes have risen somewhat during the pandemic, crime and the homicide rate in California is far down from its peaks in the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
California prisons held about 120,000 inmates as recently as 2019. That year, newly elected Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a goal to close a single prison during his tenure.
“I would like to see, in my lifetime and hopefully my tenure, that we shut down a state prison,” he said that year in an interview with The Fresno Bee editorial board.
Since then, he has already effectively closed two and his administration has plans underway to shut at least two more.
In September 2021, the state
If anything, said Mallory Crecelius, Blythe’s interim city manager, a prison in a nearby community makes more sense to close – the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco, an older facility that’s closer to a population center which isn’t as economically reliant on the prison.
It’s apparently a sentiment with which Norco agrees: “The City of Norco’s official position is, if the state is going to close a prison, the right prison to close is the California Rehabilitation Center,” said Norco city spokesperson Kelli Newton. Rodriguez and Crecelius said they will be lobbying the state to ask for the change, trying to keep their facility open while public sentiment shifts away from them and the case for public dollars just took a big hit.

GAVIN NEWSOM SE MOVILIZA PARA CERRAR 4 PRISIONES DE CALIFORNIA . ¿CUÁNTOS MÁS PUEDE CLAUSURAR?
California gasta más de $15 mil millones al año en su sistema penitenciario. Ahora, con la caída estrepitosa de la cantidad de personas tras las rejas, la administración de Newsom se está moviendo para cerrar más instituciones.
Nigel Duara CalMatters
Californiasolía necesitar muchas, pero muchas prisiones. Prisiones grandes, prisiones pequeñas, prisiones con celdas especiales para líderes de pandillas y prisiones para condenados por artimañas financieras consideradas no violentas. Había tantos presos amontonados en tantas prisiones que los tribunales federales intervinieron y ordenaron que el estado encontrara una manera de aliviar el hacinamiento.
En el pico de la población de reclusos en 2006, California encarceló a 165,000 personas en prisiones estatales.
Hoy, después de una década de reformas de sentencias y una oleada de liberaciones relacionadas con COVID-19, las prisiones de California albergan a un poco más de 95,000 personas.
Entonces, ¿cuántas prisiones necesita California en realidad?
“Se deben tomar decisiones difíciles, pero si no las tomamos, la alternativa es pagar cientos de millones por camas en prisión que no necesitamos pagar”, dijo Caitlin O’Neil, analista de Legislative Oficina del analista.
O’Neil es coautor de un nuevo informe que explica cómo el estado puede cerrar hasta nueve de sus 33 prisiones y ocho patios dentro de las prisiones operativas mientras sigue cumpliendo con una orden judicial federal que limita la capacidad del sistema.
Los posibles cierres señalan un cambio radical en la justicia penal de California, lo que representa el fin de las políticas de mano dura contra el crimen que abarrotaron las prisiones en la década de 1990 y ofrece una de las pocas formas en que el estado puede reducir costos en su sistema penitenciario de $18 mil millones.
“Si no tomamos esas decisiones, la alternativa es pagar cientos de millones por camas en prisión que no necesitamos pagar”.
-CAITLIN O’NEIL, ANALISTA DE LA OFICINA DEL ANALISTA LEGISLATIVO
Las prisiones de California tenían alrededor de 120,000 reclusos en 2019. Ese año, el gobernador recién elegido Gavin Newsom anunció el objetivo de cerrar al menos una sola prisión durante su mandato.
“Me gustaría ver, durante mi vida y, con suerte, durante mi mandato, que cerremos una prisión estatal”, dijo ese año en una entrevista con la junta editorial de The Fresno Bee.
Desde entonces, ya ha cerrado efectivamente dos y su administración tiene planes en marcha para cerrar al menos dos más.
En septiembre de 2021, el estado cerró la Institución Vocacional Deuel en Tracy. Está previsto que el Centro Correccional de California en Susanville cierre en junio, junto con los patios de otras seis prisiones.
Está previsto que otras dos prisiones, en Blythe y en California City, cierren en marzo de 2025.
Incluso después de esos cierres, según el análisis de LAO, el Departamento de Correccionales y Rehabilitación de California tiene espacio para cerrar cinco prisiones completas más para 2027. Hoy, el departamento de correccionales opera 15,000 camas vacías, según LAO. Se espera que ese número alcance las 20,000 camas vacías para 2027.
“El estado paga por las camas vacías, y ese número no se ha justificado en este momento”, dijo O’Neil. “Es realmente solo matemáticas, aritmética simple”.
Algunas de las comunidades se están movilizando para luchar contra los cierres. Susanville demandó sin éxito al estado para detener el cierre del Centro Correccional de California. Los funcionarios de Blythe están elaborando su propio plan para cabildear por empleos locales.
“Vas a perder a las familias de la prisión ya sus hijos”, dijo el vicealcalde de Blythe, Johnny Rodríguez. “Si cierran esto, todas estas familias tienen que irse a
otro lado”.
¿Qué prisiones de California deberían cerrar?
El estado está comprometido a reducir su población de reclusos, un proceso que comenzó en serio con nuevas leyes en 2011 que desviaron a más personas condenadas de la prisión a las cárceles locales.
California ahora gasta alrededor de $106,000 cada año para mantener a una persona encarcelada durante un año, según la Oficina del Analista Legislativo. El apoyo político para esos gastos ha ido cayendo, particularmente entre los demócratas.
El objetivo, escribió O’Neil en el informe de LAO, debería ser que el estado evite gastar en importantes proyectos de mejora de capital en una prisión y luego decida cerrarla, como el sistema de vigilancia audiovisual instalado en la prisión de Blythe. o el centro de atención médica de $31 millones construido en la prisión de la ciudad de California en 2021, solo unos meses antes de que el estado anunciara su cierre.
Pero decidir qué instalaciones cerrar en función de sus necesidades de infraestructura ha resultado ser un análisis frustrante para los legisladores.
El presidente del Comité de Presupuesto de la Asamblea, Phil Ting, un demócrata de San Francisco, dijo que el informe es “significativo”, pero se pregunta cómo implementar los cierres cuando ha tenido problemas para analizar cómo el sistema penitenciario elige qué instalaciones planea suspender.
“Apreciamos y entendemos lo difícil que es el trabajo que están haciendo, pero ha sido difícil obtener la información más básica”, dijo Ting. “Como, por ejemplo, solicitamos información sobre planificación de capital, así que en lugar de darnos un plan, simplemente nos dijeron todo el mantenimiento diferido para cada instalación en todas las prisiones.

Para los abolicionistas de prisiones como Woods Ervin, codirector del grupo activista contra las prisiones Critical Resistance, las conclusiones del informe de LAO fueron “súper emocionantes” y se acercan a los objetivos de su grupo de cerrar diez prisiones y anunciar los cierres para 2025.
“Esto es grande”, dijo Ervin.
Una vez que las prisiones cierran, dijo Ervin, los abolicionistas de prisiones también están observando qué sucede con las instalaciones mismas.
“Claramente no queremos que las instalaciones públicas sean privatizadas y luego reutilizadas para la detención de inmigrantes”, dijo Ervin. “Tampoco queremos que se utilice para ningún tipo de industria extractiva”.
Los cierres, dijeron, deben ser seguidos por el estado dirigiendo dinero tanto a las comunidades que pierden una prisión como a las comunidades de origen de las personas que fueron encarceladas.
¿Qué pasó en Susanville?
La pregunta de qué pasa con una ciudad que una vez dependió de una prisión se desarrolló en Susanville el año pasado, donde se programó el cierre del Centro Correccional de California de seguridad mínima de 1,600 camas antes de que la ciudad presentara una demanda en la corte estatal, alegando que el cierre violaba las leyes de medio ambiente y no siguió las propias reglas del sistema penitenciario para elegir qué instalaciones cerrar.
Un juez desestimó el caso cuando la Legislatura aprobó un proyecto de ley que eximía a todos los cierres de prisiones de la revisión ambiental.
Los funcionarios de la ciudad de Blythe observaron lo que sucedió en Susanville y se preocuparon. Su instalación, la prisión estatal de Chuckawalla Valley, está programada para cerrar en marzo de 2025.
Blythe es una comunidad rural que depende de su prisión no solo por los trabajos, sino también por el efecto dominó de un gran empleador, dijo Rodríguez, vicealcalde de la ciudad. Los presos que no pueden ser tratados en la prisión vienen al hospital comunitario, lo que significa más trabajos médicos en la ciudad. Las escuelas se reducirán, dijo, y los maestros perderán sus trabajos. El programa de internos en Palo Verde College desaparecería, lo que le costaría a la institución alrededor de 250 estudiantes cada semestre.
“Ha sido difícil obtener la información más básica”.
-ASAMBLEÍSTA PHIL TING, DEMÓCRATA DE SAN FRANCISCO
Rodríguez, ex ayudante del alguacil del condado de Riverside, dijo que más prisiones significan menos personas que infringen la ley.
“Con todo el crimen en California, ves los beneficios de no tener criminales en la comunidad”, dijo Rodríguez.
(Si bien ciertos delitos han aumentado un poco durante la pandemia, la delincuencia y la tasa de homicidios en California están muy por debajo de sus picos a fines de la década de 1980 y principios de la de 1990).
En todo caso, dijo Mallory Crecelius, administrador municipal interino de Blythe, tiene más sentido cerrar una prisión en una comunidad cercana: el Centro de Rehabilitación de California en Norco, una instalación más antigua que está más cerca de un centro de población que no depende económicamente de la prisión.
Aparentemente es un sentimiento con el que Norco está de acuerdo: “La posición oficial de la ciudad de Norco es, si el estado va a cerrar una prisión, la prisión correcta para cerrar es el Centro de Rehabilitación de California”, dijo Kelli Newton, vocera de la ciudad de Norco.
Rodríguez y Crecelius dijeron que presionarán al estado para que solicite el cambio, tratando de mantener sus instalaciones abiertas mientras la opinión pública se aleja de ellos y el caso de los dólares públicos acaba de recibir un gran golpe.

The Scream film franchise started with one fateful phone call in 1996. Since the inventive first scene starring Drew Barrymore, the series has been a dynamic horror staple which became a genre in its own right. Started by filmmaker Wes Craven, each subsequent film continues to find ways to reinvent itself while keeping to its basic thriller roots.
Last year’s revival of the series, simply titled Scream, continued the story after 2011’s Scream 4 and brought in a fresh cast of characters alongside the return of the original survivors of the series, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
This, along with the introduction of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega as sister protagonists brought the dormant film series roaring back to life, and will continue the story with its newest release, Scream VI.
Set in the New York months after the events of 2022’s installment, the survivors of the new Woodsboro Ghostface attacks attempt to move on with their lives while dealing with the trauma and fallout of what a masked killer does to a person’s psychological state.
Melissa Barrera recently sat down to talk about the new movie, and what it was like to step into the role of Sam Carpenter once more, acting alongside the returning cast and legacy characters of the franchise, and what tunes Ghostface would be singing on a hypothetical Scream Broadway musical.
Q&A: MELISSA BARRERA & SCREAM VI HEAD TO NEW YORK
Scream VI is now in theaters.
Hi Melissa, could you begin by telling us what's been going on since the events of last year’s Scream V? How has your character of Sam has been dealing with it?
It hasn't been that long since the events of the fifth movie. I think it's been maybe six months, eight months at most. So it's pretty recent. The whole Sam, like, snap-
still a lot of healing that needs to be done and there's still, like, a battle within her that she's struggling with of the temptation of giving in to the dark side that's very much present in her. But she has, you know, her sister to worry about and she has the twins that she's now taking care of too, and they're all her family.
And she has a responsibility that's bigger than just herself, and that can be very scary for someone. And so we meet a
There's lots of moments within this sixth movie where you see her actively struggling and trying to restrain herself. There is something very alluring about a character that you don't trust fully because they're unpredictable. It's like an addiction, you know, like, they can choose for many, many days to be sober, but then one day, just the slightest thing can tip you over the edge and you fall off the wagon.
And I feel like that's the darkness for Sam. It's like an addiction that she's trying really hard to stay off of, and it's hard, it's an everyday battle and she's trying to front and she's trying to focus on others so that she doesn't have to deal with that. But it is present and we see in various moments in the movie, her looking at it in the face and choosing the light until it's time to protect her family, because when it comes to family, she'll do anything. And I actually think that there's something really cool about having a character that can go to that dark side because it is what needs to happen to survive, in a way.
ping and stabbing [the killer] Richie was not too long ago. And she's still dealing with the consequences or the effects of that kind of wall shattering that she had been fighting so hard to keep up. And so we meet her at the beginning of the 6th movie in therapy. But it's a very performative kind of therapy.
I think she's that person that knows that she should be in therapy and that it's good and that it will help her, but she's not fully opening up. And it's been many, many months. And so she's just kind of going and talking about her sister and not really about herself. And so I think there's
Sam that's more vulnerable, more paranoid and a little bit more open. There's a lot of fear there of what might happen because she knows that whatever happens to the people that she loves is because of her.
You mentioned the dark side, and especially with this movie, I got a real Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker kind of vibe, of wrestling with the darkness and all that. So being the “final girl” in these movies, how is that more explored in this movie where you're kind of wrestling with that notion of, “should I approach the darkness or not?”
I wanted to ask about the setting. Is New York City its own character? And how does the vastness of the city change things compared to the small town feeling of Woodsboro?
Yeah, I definitely think New York is a character. The city is a major character in this movie. It provides us with higher stakes and it provides us with, like, really cool set pieces where a lot of the major attacks take place that are so quintessentially New York City spots, like the subway, like a bodega, like the balcony of a skyscraper, all of these levels that the city provides and also the city itself.

Actress Melissa Barrera Talks About Returning to the Iconic Horror Franchise, New York City as a Character, and What Songs Would Need To Be in a Ghostface Broadway Musical

It's so fun to get to return. It feels like coming home to people you love and getting to explore more of these characters that were introduced in the fifth movie. It's really beautiful.
-Melissa Barrera
New York is the most magical place in the world. But it can also be the scariest because it can be hostile. And it's so full of people, but everyone is kind of just doing their own thing and no one wants - have you ever been in the subway and someone's, like, fighting and everyone's just kind of looking away? No one wants to be in the business of anybody else.
And we see it in this movie where attacks are taking place and no one wants to help. You know, everyone's going home or going to work or whatever. And so I feel like the energy of New York City is great for a Scream movie.
And the fact that these characters moved all the way across the country to get away from Ghostface speaks volumes of how far they're willing to go to be safe. And the fact that they still can't, even all the way across the country, that Ghostface still finds them is terrifying.
What it was like to come back and join your other fellow actors and work with legacy actors like
Courteney Cox and Hayden Panettiere?
It's so fun to get to return. It feels like coming home to people you love and getting to explore more of these characters that were introduced in the fifth movie. It's really beautiful. And having legacy characters come back like Courteney and Hayden that are such beloved characters and getting to play opposite them is very surreal and very cool.
I feel like it's so great that we get these iconic characters coming back. And you also have the new "core four" that are the heart of the movie and that you get to spend more time with them and get to know them, and hopefully the audience will get as invested in them now as they are in the legacy characters.
And last question, Melissa. Thank you so much again. Since it takes place in New York, let's imagine a world where Scream is on Broadway and it's like a musical. Do you have any ideas for what one of the songs might be? Like, for example, let’s say there's a song called “The Core Four”. Do you have another idea?
If there was a song called "The Core Four", it would definitely be, like, an upbeat, light moment, like a comedic moment in the show. And there could also be, I don't know, I feel like there would be a "Hello Sydney" song or, like a "Hello Samantha" song that Ghostface gets to sing in like, Phantom of the Opera vibes. Like a very baritone Ghostface I can picture.
Q&A: MELISSA BARRERA Y SCREAM VI VAN A NUEVA YORK
La actriz Melissa Barrera habla sobre el regreso a la icónica franquicia de terror, la ciudad de Nueva York como personaje y qué canciones deberían estar en un musical de Broadway de Ghostface
Arturo Hilario El Observador
Lafranquicia de la película Scream comenzó con una fatídica llamada telefónica en 1996. Desde la ingeniosa primera escena protagonizada por Drew Barrymore, la serie ha sido un elemento básico de terror dinámico que se convirtió en un género por derecho propio. Iniciada por el cineasta Wes Craven, cada película posterior continúa encontrando formas de reinventarse mientras mantiene sus raíces básicas de suspenso.
El reinicio de la serie del año pasado, titulado simplemente Scream, tuvo lugar después de Scream 4 de 2011 y trajo un nuevo elenco de personajes junto con el regreso de los sobrevivientes originales de la serie, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox y David Arquette.
Esto, junto con la presentación de Melissa Barrera y Jenna Ortega como protagonistas hermanas, devolvió la vida a la serie de películas inactivas y continuará la historia con su lanzamiento más reciente, Scream VI.
Ambientado en Nueva York meses
después de los eventos del reinicio de 2022, los sobrevivientes de los nuevos ataques de Woodsboro Ghostface intentan seguir adelante con sus vidas mientras lidian con el trauma y las consecuencias de lo que un asesino enmascarado le hace al estado psicológico de una persona.
Melissa Barrera se sentó recientemente para hablar sobre la nueva película y cómo fue asumir el papel de Sam Carpenter una vez más, actuando junto al elenco que regresa y los personajes heredados de la franquicia, y qué melodías cantaría Ghostface en un hipotético musical de Scream de Broadway.
Scream VI ya está en los cines.
Hola Melissa, ¿Podrías comenzar diciéndonos qué ha estado pasando desde los eventos del Scream V del año pasado? ¿Cómo ha estado lidiando con eso tu personaje de Sam?
No ha pasado tanto tiempo desde los eventos de la quinta película. Creo que han pasado unos seis meses, ocho meses como mucho. Así que es bastante re-

ciente. Toda Sam, como, romper y apuñalar [al asesino] Richie, no fue hace mucho tiempo. Y ella todavía está lidiando con las consecuencias o los efectos de una especie de derrumbe de muro que había estado luchando tanto para mantener de pie. Y así la vemos al comienzo de la sexta película en terapia. Pero es un tipo de terapia muy performativa.
Creo que es esa persona que sabe que debe estar en terapia y que es bueno y que la ayudará, pero no se está abriendo del todo. Y han pasado muchos, muchos meses. Entonces, ella solo va y habla sobre su hermana y no realmente sobre sí misma. Y creo que todavía hay mucho qué curar, mucho qué hacer y todavía hay una batalla dentro de ella con la que está luchando contra la tentación de ceder al lado oscuro que está muy presente en ella. Pero ella tiene, ya sabes, a su hermana de quien preocuparse y tiene a los gemelos que ahora también está cuidando y todos son su familia.
Ella tiene una responsabilidad que es más grande que ella misma, y eso puede ser muy aterrador para alguien. Y así nos encontramos con una Sam que es más vulnerable, más paranoica y un poco más abierta. Hay mucho miedo ahí de lo que pueda pasar porque sabe que lo que le pase a la gente que ama es por su culpa.
Mencionaste el lado oscuro, y especialmente con esta película, obtuve realmente una vibra de Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, de luchar con la oscuridad y todo eso. Entonces, siendo la "chica final" en estas películas, ¿Cómo se explora en esta película esa lucha con la dicotomía de "debería acercarme a la oscuridad o no?"
Hay muchos momentos dentro de esta sexta película en los que la ves luchando activamente e intentando contenerse. Hay algo muy atractivo en un personaje en el que no confías plenamente porque es impredecible. Es como una adicción, ya sabes, puedes optar por estar sobrio durante muchos días, pero un día, la cosa más pequeña puede llevarte al límite y te caes del vagón.
Y siento que esa es la oscuridad para Sam. Es como una adicción de la que se está esforzando mucho para mantenerse alejada, y es difícil, es una batalla diaria y ella está tratando de enfrentarla y está tratando de concentrarse en los demás para no tener que lidiar con eso. Pero está presente y la vemos en varios momentos de la película, ella mirándola a la cara y eligiendo la luz hasta que llega el momento de proteger a su familia, porque cuando se trata de la familia, ella hará cualquier cosa. Y, de hecho, creo que hay algo genial en tener un personaje que puede ir al lado oscuro porque es lo que tiene que pasar para que sobreviva, en cierto modo.
Quería preguntar sobre la ubicación. ¿Es la ciudad de Nueva York su propio personaje? ¿Y cómo la inmensidad de la ciudad cambia las cosas en comparación con la sensación del pueblo pequeño de Woodsboro?

Sí, definitivamente creo que Nueva York es un personaje. La ciudad es un personaje principal en esta película. Nos ofrece apuestas más altas y nos brinda escenarios realmente geniales donde tienen lugar muchos de los principales ataques que son lugares por excelencia de la ciudad de Nueva York, como el metro, como una bodega, como el balcón de un rascacielos , todos estos niveles que ofrece la ciudad y también la ciudad misma.
Nueva York es el lugar más mágico del mundo. Pero también puede ser el más aterrador porque puede ser hostil. Y está tan lleno de gente, pero cada uno está haciendo lo suyo y nadie quiere… ¿Alguna vez has estado en el metro y alguien está peleando y todo el mundo mira hacia otro lado? Nadie quiere estar en el asunto de nadie más.
Y lo vemos en esta película donde se producen ataques y nadie quiere ayudar. Ya sabes, todo el mundo se va a casa o al trabajo o lo que sea. Y siento que la energía de la ciudad de Nueva York es genial para una película de Scream
Y el hecho de que estos personajes se hayan mudado hasta el otro lado del país para alejarse de Ghostface dice mucho de lo lejos que están dispuestos a llegar para estar a salvo. Y el hecho de que todavía no puedan, incluso del otro lado del país, que Ghostface los encuentre es aterrador.
¿Cómo fue volver y unirte a tus otros compañeros y trabajar con actores de legado como Courteney Cox y Hayden Panettiere?
Es muy divertido volver. Se siente como volver a casa con las personas que amas y poder explorar más de estos personajes que se presentaron en la quinta película. Es realmente bonito. Y tener personajes de legado como Courteney y Hayden que son personajes tan queridos e interpretar un papel frente a ellos es muy surrealista y genial.
Siento que es genial que tengamos estos icónicos personajes de vuelta. Y también tienes los nuevos "cuatro principales" que son el corazón de la película y puedes pasar más tiempo con ellos y llegar a conocerlos y, con suerte, la audiencia se involucrará tanto en ellos ahora como en los personajes heredados.
Y última pregunta, Melissa. Muchas gracias de nuevo. Como tiene lugar en Nueva York, imaginemos un mundo donde Scream está en Broadway y es como un musical. ¿Tienes alguna idea de cuál podría ser una de las canciones? Como, por ejemplo, digamos que hay una canción llamada "The Core Four". ¿Tienes otra idea?
Si hubiera una canción llamada "The Core Four", definitivamente sería un momento optimista y ligero, como un momento cómico en el programa. Y también podría haber, no sé, siento que habría una canción de "Hello Sydney" o, como una canción de "Hello Samantha" en la que Ghostface canta, como Phantom of the Opera. Como un Ghostface muy barítono que puedo imaginar.

EARTHTALK Q&A: UPGRADING YOUR PHONE EVERY TWO YEARS
Dear EarthTalk: Is it really bad for the planet to upgrade my phone every two years? – A.J., Darien, CT
Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk
Smartphones have certainly become ubiquitous, with some 85 percent of Americans and 67 percent of adults worldwide possessing one. Manufacturers sell almost 1.5 billion of them per year. And every year these manufacturers come out with upgraded models to lure customers into trading in their old models to get the latest technology at their fingertips. According to the Consumer Electronic Association the average lifespan of a smartphone is 4.7 years, but the average American user replaces their smartphone within three years. This can be, in part, attributed to planned obsolescence by manufacturers. As new smartphones are manufactured, new software updates accompany them; these updates can lead to older phones becoming unusable if they do not have the capacity to accommodate the new software.
Regarding pollution created by the industry, 95 percent of emissions come from the production phase. A culture that requires constant replacements results in ongoing growth of manufacturing emissions. In addition, continuously replacing phones creates e-waste in the form of the phones themselves. In 2019, 50 million tons of waste came from smartphones which constitute about 10 percent of e-waste globally.
One way to combat e-waste is to recycle. However, according to the World Economic Forum, only about 20 percent of global e-waste is recycled. The Basel Action Network used radio tracking to verify where shipments of e-waste were sent. They found that nearly 40 percent of e-waste from the United States was exported illegally to developing nations where it was unsafely processed or even burned in the open air.
There are steps manufacturers can take to alleviate the environmental burden, one being to introduce “repairable” phones. Currently manufacturers hamper smartphone repair with very high repair prices and restricting third parties from having access to the needed parts. Europe is leading the charge on embracing a circular economy surrounding smartphones that encourages repairs, refurbishments and upgrades instead of replacement. Various European countries have instituted programs to address the problem. France maintains a publicly accessible phone repairability index to help consumers there make smart choices about their smartphone purchases. Meanwhile, Sweden and Austria both offer financial incentives for device repairs to encourage fixing instead of junking old smartphones and other electronics.
Whether or not such programs exist in your neck of the woods, you can be part of the solution by simply waiting longer to upgrade your phone, which will help reduce the demand on production while lowering your environmental footprint. While it may not seem like much at first glance, keeping your phone for an extra year can reduce your lifetime device usage by 25 percent. When it is finally time to get a new phone, an eco-conscious consumer can turn to companies like Fairphone and SHIFT that offer easily changeable parts and support software upgrades throughout the phone’s lifespan.

Losteléfonos inteligentes ciertamente se han vuelto ubicuos, con alrededor del 85 por ciento de los estadounidenses y el 67 por ciento de los adultos en todo el mundo que poseen uno. Los fabricantes venden casi 1.500 millones de ellos por año. Y cada año, estos fabricantes presentan modelos actualizados para atraer a los clientes a intercambiar sus modelos antiguos para tener la última tecnología al alcance de la mano. Según la Consumer Electronic Association, la vida útil promedio de un teléfono inteligente es de 4,7 años, pero el usuario estadounidense promedio reemplaza su teléfono inteligente dentro de los tres años. Esto puede atribuirse, en
parte, a la obsolescencia programada por parte de los fabricantes. A medida que se fabrican nuevos teléfonos inteligentes, los acompañan nuevas actualizaciones de software; estas actualizaciones pueden hacer que los teléfonos más antiguos queden inutilizables si no tienen la capacidad para adaptarse al nuevo software. En cuanto a la contaminación generada por la industria, el 95 por ciento de las emisiones provienen de la fase de producción. Una cultura que requiere reemplazos constantes da como resultado un crecimiento continuo de las emisiones de fabricación. Además, reemplazar continuamente los teléfonos genera desechos electrónicos en la forma de los propios teléfonos. En 2019, 50 millones de toneladas de desechos provinieron de teléfonos inteligentes, que constituyen alrededor del 10 por ciento de los desechos electrónicos a nivel mundial.
Una forma de combatir los desechos electrónicos es reciclar. Sin embargo, según el Foro Económico Mundial, solo alrededor del 20 por ciento de los desechos electrónicos globales se reciclan. La Red de Acción de Basilea utilizó el seguimiento por radio para verificar dónde se enviaron los envíos de desechos electrónicos. Descubrieron que casi el 40 por ciento de los desechos electrónicos de los Estados Unidos se exportaron ilegalmente a países en desarrollo donde se procesaron de manera insegura o incluso se quemaron al aire libre.
Hay pasos que los fabricantes pueden tomar para aliviar la carga ambiental, uno de los cuales es introducir teléfonos "reparables".

Actualmente, los fabricantes obstaculizan la reparación de teléfonos inteligentes con precios de reparación muy altos y restringen el acceso de terceros a las piezas necesarias. Europa está a la vanguardia en la adopción de una economía circular en torno a los teléfonos inteligentes que fomenta las reparaciones, las renovaciones y las actualizaciones en lugar del reemplazo. Varios países europeos han instituido programas para abordar el problema. Francia mantiene un índice de reparabilidad de teléfonos de acceso público para ayudar a los consumidores a tomar decisiones inteligentes sobre sus compras de teléfonos inteligentes. Mientras tanto, Suecia y Austria ofrecen incentivos financieros para la reparación de dispositivos para fomentar la reparación en lugar de desechar teléfonos inteligentes viejos y otros dispositivos electrónicos. Ya sea que tales programas existan o no en su región, puede ser parte de la solución simplemente esperando más tiempo para actualizar su teléfono, lo que ayudará a reducir la demanda de producción y reducirá su huella ambiental. Si bien puede no parecer mucho a primera vista, mantener su teléfono por un año adicional puede reducir el uso de su dispositivo de por vida en un 25 por ciento. Cuando finalmente llega el momento de comprar un nuevo teléfono, un consumidor con conciencia ecológica puede recurrir a empresas como Fairphone y SHIFT, que ofrecen piezas fácilmente reemplazables y admiten actualizaciones de software durante la vida útil del teléfono.

TheBay Area’s crown jewel, Outside Lands, returns to celebrate 15 years of world-class music, food, wine, beer, art and cannabis in Golden Gate Park on August 11 - 13. Over the last decade and a half, the festival has become a vital part of the Bay Area’s cultural fabric, bringing the best musical acts in the world right to San Francisco’s backyard. Outside Lands is still the largest, independently owned festival in the US, making this anniversary especially significant.
This week Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly and Starr Hill Presents announced the 2023 festival lineup. Headliners include 15-time GRAMMY award winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Foo Fighters, recent GRAMMY and Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick Lamar and electronic powerhouse ODESZA, who will be the first EDM act to headline the Lands End main stage.

The full lineup is listed below.
"When we started Outside Lands back in 2008, we had a vision to create a unique festival experience that had never been done before. 15 years later, Outside Lands continues to be a bright spot for the city
of San Francisco and pushes boundaries in music, food, drink, art and cannabis programming, as well as providing space for environmental and social initiatives,” said Allen Scott, Co-Founder of Outside Lands & President of Concerts & Festivals at Another Planet Entertainment. “The festival celebrates everything we love about the Bay Area's rich cultural history. We’re proud of the positive financial impact the festival has on San Francisco, injecting more than $1 billion into the SF economy since its inception."
New for 2023, Outside Lands is offering a GA+ level ticket. This elevated GA offering includes expedited entry, an exclusive GA+ lounge with access to flushable bathrooms, refillable water stations and complimentary soft drinks, plus a full-service bar and food for

The space not only provides unmatched views of the main stage, but also includes complimentary food from beloved Bay Area chefs Tyler Florence of Miller & Lux, Nancy Oakes & Dana Younkin of Boulevard and Ravi Kapur of Liholiho Yacht Club, as well as an assortment of wines from our sommelier and handcrafted cocktails throughout the weekend.

The three-day festival showcases world-class music programming, from legendary acts to emerging artists, plus features restaurants, wineries and breweries, nearly all of which are local to California. Delivering an elevated experience for attendees that includes unique and cultural programming such as Outsider Art, GastroMagic, Cocktail Magic and the return of Grass Lands, the first curated cannabis experience at a major American music festival, Outside Lands showcases the best the Bay Area has to offer.

El universo es una especie de red social de la cuál la Tierra forma parte. Todo es energía.
Los antiguos astrólogos observaron como coincidían ciertos sucesos que ocurrían en la Tierra, con el paso de un cometa, un eclipse o con el tránsito de los diferentes cuerpos celestes del sistema solar. En el estudio y análisis de la Astrología, la Tierra es considerada el centro del Universo. Por su parte la Luna y el Sol, son también considerados como planetas.
