SB4. NO ENTRA EN VIGOR POR AHORA NEW

José López Zamorano

La Red Hispana

Elcaos y la confusión alrededor de la entrada en vigor de la polémica legislación anti migrante de Texas, la ley S B4, creció la noche del martes cuando una corte federal bloqueó la puesta en marcha de la legislación luego de que la Suprema Corte de Justicia había allanado el camino para implementarla.

Un panel de la Corte de Apelaciones del Quinto Circuito emitido antes de la medianoche del martes puso en suspenso nuevamente la ley de manera temporal.

Su decisión coronó 48 horas de decisiones judiciales contradictorias que podrían resolverse en los próximos días, conforme el caso es escuchado este miércoles por la mañana por el tribunal de apelaciones.

El lunes, el magistrado de la suprema corte de justicia, Samuel la Alito, puso en suspenso la entrada en vigor por tiempo indefinido la entrada en vigor de la legislación, que permite a las autoridades de Texas detener y deportar a inmigrantes que hayan ingresado ilegalmente a Texas o que tengan la apariencia de ser indocumentados.

Pero menos de 24 horas después, la mayoría conservadora de la corte determinó que la legislación podría entrar en vigor, en tanto procediera el trámite legal sobre si es o no constitucional, en la corte de apelaciones. Las tres magistradas liberales Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan y Ketanji Brown Jackson se opusieron a la decisión de la mayoría de la corte.

La administración del presidente Biden condenó la posible entrada en vigor de la ley y reiteró que tiene el derecho exclusivo a definir la política migratoria de los Estados Unidos.

Al mismo tiempo, el gobierno mexicano, a través de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, dejó en claro que si la legislación entra en vigor, “bajo ninguna circunstancia” aceptará la repatriación de migrantes a su territorio si son enviados desde Texas.

TION LAWS MEANS IT DOES NOT COME INTO EFFECT - FOR NOW.

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

The

chaos and confusion surrounding the hastily introduced and controversial anti-immigrant legislation in Texas, SB4, grew Tuesday night when a federal court blocked the implementation of the legislation after the Supreme Court of Justice had paved the way to enforce it.

A Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals

408-938-1700

Sin embargo, unas horas después de la decisión de la Suprema Corte, el tribunal de apelaciones del quinto circuito con sede en Nueva Orleans, una de las judicaturas más conservadores de Estados Unidos, decidió bloquear temporalmente la entrada en vigor de la SB4 para escuchar este miércoles los argumentos del caso.

panel issued before midnight Tuesday again to temporarily put the law on hold.

They’re decision capped 48 hours of conflicting court decisions that could be resolved in the coming days.

On Monday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito put on hold indefinitely the legislation, which allows Texas authorities to indiscriminately detain and deport both immigrants who have entered illegally to Texas or those who appear to be undocumented.

But less than 24 hours later, the court's conservative majority determined that the legislation could go into effect, pending legal proceedings on whether or not it is constitutional, in the appeals court. The three liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson opposed the court's majority decision.

However, a few hours after the Supreme Court's decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals based in New Orleans, one of the most conservative judiciaries in the United States, decided to temporarily block start of SB4 to hear further arguments of the case.

President Biden's administration condemned the possible enforcement of the law and reiterated that it has the exclusive right to define US immigration policy.

At the same time, the Mexican government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made it clear that if the legislation comes into law, “under no circumstances” will it accept the repatriation of migrants to its territory if they are sent from Texas.

ASPIRING BILINGUAL TEACHERS CROSS THE BORDER TO GAIN INSIGHT

cation Department at San Diego State University, who helps organize the trips.

ASPIRANTES A PROFESORES BILINGÜES CRUZAN LA FRONTERA PARA ADQUIRIR CONOCIMIENTOS

Immigration is a hot-button issue these days, but people studying to become bilingual teachers at one California university are making an effort to lower the temperature.

San Diego State University's bilingual credential program sends prospective teachers on a four-day trip to impoverished schools in Tijuana, to help them understand the conditions many of their future students experience.

Erika Sandoval from Santa Clarita is a teacher-in-training in her first year of the program. She migrated to the U.S. herself from Mexico at age nine.

"Going back and hearing their stories," said Sandoval, "some of them having families in the United States, some of them attempting to cross the bordertook me back to when my parents had made the decision to come to this country as well. It was very emotional, to be honest."

The teachers visit a school in a migrant shelter, one that has a program for students who are blind, and a third that is in one of the city's lowest-income neighborhoods.

Sandoval said kids may be at school in Tijuana one week, and in California the next. So, the empathy gained from a cross-border trip can improve teacher effectiveness going forward.

"When you're able to connect with them and build that trust with them," said Sandoval, "there's community with you, and they're able to engage them in what you're teaching them."

Sarah Maharonnaghsh is a lecturer in the Dual Language and English Learner Edu-

She said the teachers in training are often impressed with the Tijuana kids' behavior - even though they lack adults taking on yard duties, and school supplies are scarce.

"There's nobody supervising them on the playground, and they all seem to self-regulate," said Maharonnaghsh. "Or if there's a box of crayons, the kids are sharing with each other. So, they just see that that collectivist component of Mexican culture."

She said the program emphasizes respect for the students' culture, and helps teachers focus on kids' assets rather than their deficits.

Support for this reporting was provided by Lumina Foundation.

Lamigración es un tema candente estos días, pero las personas que estudian para convertirse en profesores bilingües en una universidad de California están haciendo un esfuerzo para bajar la temperatura.

El programa de credenciales bilingües de la Universidad Estatal de San Diego envía a los futuros profesores en un viaje de cuatro días a escuelas empobrecidas en Tijuana, para ayudarles a entender las condiciones que muchos de sus futuros estudiantes experimentan.

Erika Sandoval, de Santa Clarita, cursa su primer año en el programa. Ella misma migro a los Estados Unidos desde México a los nueve años.

"Volver atrás y escuchar sus historias," dice Sandoval, "-algunos de ellos tenían familia en Estados Unidos, otros intenta-

ban cruzar la frontera- eso me recordó a cuando mis padres también habían tomado la decisión de venir a este país. Fue muy emotivo, la verdad."

Los maestros visitan una escuela en un albergue para migrantes, también otra que tiene un programa para estudiantes ciegos y una tercera que está en uno de los barrios de menores ingresos de la ciudad.

Sandoval dice que los niños pueden estar en la escuela en Tijuana una semana y en California la siguiente. Por lo tanto, la empatía obtenida en un viaje transfronterizo puede mejorar la eficacia docente en el futuro.

"Cuando eres capaz de conectar con ellos y generar esa confianza, hay una comunidad contigo," agrega Sandoval, "y son capaces de involucrarse en lo que les estas ensenando."

Sarah Maharonnaghsh es profesora en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego y ayuda a organizar los viajes. Dice que los maestros en formación suelen quedar impresionados con el comportamiento de los niños de Tijuana, a pesar de que no tienen tareas en el jardín y los útiles escolares son escasos.

"No hay nadie supervisándolos en el patio de recreo y todos parecen portarse bien," Maharonnaghsh. "O si hay una caja de crayones, los niños la comparten entre ellos. Entonces, simplemente ven ese componente colectivo de la cultura mexicana."

Afirma que el programa hace hincapié en el respeto a la cultura de los alumnos y ayuda a los profesores a centrarse en las virtudes de los niños y no en sus carencias.

DISCOVER 5 AFFORDABLE WAYS TO MAKE THE MOST OF SUMMER DESCUBRE 5 FORMAS ECONÓMICAS DE APROVECHAR AL MÁXIMO EL VERANO

BPT

Summer

is just around the corner! With the kids out of school, it's the perfect time to plan a trip or two and spend quality time together as a family. However, family vacations can get pretty pricey. With booking hotel rooms, flights and more, a summer trip can put a strain on your wallet.

This summer, you can make the most of the sunny season while sticking to your budget using these five tips.

1. Book early

Don't wait! One of the best ways to make the most of your summer and save is to plan ahead and book early. This is especially true when planning air travel.

According to the CheapAir.com Annual Airfare Study, a fare will change 49 times on average from the day the trip first goes on sale. If you want affordable, flexible flights, aim to book your trip 2.5 to 7.5 months in advance.

In addition to flights, accommodations, concerts and activities like summer camp can sell out months in advance. To make sure your family doesn't miss out on the fun, book ahead. Booking early not only secures your spot, but you can also get some discounts.

2. Look for deals

Watch for promotions and special offers on activities, attractions and events. Check an organization or company's websites and social media accounts to make your summer outings more budget-friendly.

Another way to save is to see if any of your existing accounts or services have member perks. Some phone plans offer one-of-a-kind deals and experiences across nationally loved brands.

3. Explore the great outdoors

Nature offers endless entertainment for free or on the cheap. It's no wonder that 26% of Americans plan to take an outdoor trip this year, according to Forbes.

For day trips, head to a nearby regional or state park for a hike and picnic or catch some waves at the beach. If you're seeking longer excursions, plan a family camping trip. If you don't have the right gear, don't feel pressured to spend a ton of money. Ask family and friends to borrow tents, sleeping bags, coolers, lanterns and camp cookware.

As long as you pack your snacks, sunscreen and sense of adventure, you can make lasting memories in nature without draining your bank account.

4. Hit the road

Pack the car and get ready for a good old-fashioned road trip! A family road trip can be an exciting and budget-friendly vacation where the journey there can be just as fun as the destination.

Plan a weeklong trip to a historic site, a natural wonder or a city you've never visited. No matter where you choose to go, preparation is key. Load up the car with snacks, games, movies and all your device charging cords. Don't forget to stop along the way. You may be surprised at the hidden gems you discover on the way to your destination.

If you'd like to keep the miles off your car, don't stress! Renting a car with extra amenities is an affordable way to make a road trip comfortable and convenient.

5. Plan a staycation

Sometimes, the best summer memories are made right at home. Staycations surged in popularity during the pandemic, and an international study found that the travel trend is unlikely to flag anytime soon. A trip where you stick close to home with loved ones can't be beat for affordability and convenience.

Need some staycation ideas? Turn your living room into a day spa, host a game night, camp in your backyard or plan a scavenger hunt. The only limit is your imagination. If you want to look a little farther afield, use your staycation to explore your town! During the summer, your town or city may host celebrations and festivals your family can enjoy. Find out if local museums, theme parks and community centers offer discounts to children, students and families. Make a list of upcoming summer blockbusters and hit the theaters. With a little creativity, planning and a willingness to think outside the box, you can make the most of summer without putting a strain on your finances. BPT

ovechar al máximo el verano y ahorrar, es planificar y reservar con anticipación. Una realidad especialmente cierta cuando planificamos un viaje en avión. Según el Estudio Anual de Tarifas Aéreas de CheapAir. com, como promedio, una tarifa cambiará 49 veces desde el día en que el viaje sale a la venta por primera vez. Si quieres vuelos económicos y flexibles, trata de reservar tu viaje con una antelación de entre dos meses y medio y siete meses y medio.

Además de los vuelos, el alojamiento, así como los conciertos y actividades como los campamentos de verano pueden agotarse con meses de antelación. Para asegurarte de que tu familia no se pierda la diversión, reserva con anticipación. Al hacerlo, no solo aseguras tu lugar, sino que también puedes beneficiarte con algunos descuentos.

2. Busca ofertas

Mantente alerta con respecto a las promociones y ofertas especiales en actividades, atracciones y eventos. Consulta los sitios web y las cuentas de redes sociales de una organización o empresa para que tus proyectos de salidas veraniegas sean más económicos. Otra forma de ahorrar es averiguar si alguna de tus cuentas o servicios existentes tiene beneficios para miembros. Algunas cuentas de celular ofrecen ofertas y experiencias premium únicas en todo el país.

3. Explora el aire libre

La Naturaleza ofrece un sinfín de entretenimiento gratuito o barato. No es de extrañar entonces que el 26% de los estadounidenses tienen en proyecto hacer un viaje al aire libre este año, según Forbes.

Para excursiones de un día, visita un parque regional o estatal cercano para hacer una caminata y un picnic, o disfrutar las olas en la playa. Si estás buscando excursiones más prolongadas, planifica un viaje para acampar en familia. Si no tienes el equipo adecuado, no te sientas presionado a gastar una enorme suma de dinero. Pídeles a familiares y amigos que te presten tiendas de campaña, sacos de dormir, hieleras, linternas y utensilios de cocina para acampar.

Siempre y cuando empaques tus bocadillos, protector solar y el sentido de aventura, puedes crear recuerdos duraderos en la Naturaleza sin afectar negativamente tu cuenta bancaria.

4. Viajes por carretera

¡Empaca tus cosas en el auto y prepárate para un buen viaje por carretera, "a la antigua"! Un viaje familiar por carretera puede llegar a convertirse en unas vacaciones emocionantes y económicas en las que el recorrido hacia el sitio elegido puede ser tan divertido como el destino final.

Planifica un viaje de una semana a un sitio histórico, una maravilla natural o una ciudad que nunca hayas visitado. Independientemente de a dónde elijas ir, la preparación es clave. Carga en el automóvil bocadillos, juegos, películas y todos los cables de carga de tu dispositivo. No olvides hacer un alto en el camino. Es posible que te sorprendas con las joyas ocultas que descubrirás en camino a tu destino.

Si deseas ahorrarle las millas a tu automóvil, ¡no te preocupes! Rentar un auto con comodidades adicionales es una forma económica de hacer que un viaje por carretera sea cómodo y conveniente.

5. Planifica unas vacaciones en casa

A veces, los mejores recuerdos del verano se crean en casa. Durante la pandemia, las vacaciones en casa aumentaron en popularidad, y un estudio internacional reveló la poca probabilidad de que esa tendencia disminuya en breve. Por su asequibilidad y comodidad, un viaje en el que te quedas en casa y sus cercanías con tus seres queridos no tiene comparación.

¿Necesitas algunas ideas para unas vacaciones en casa? Convierte tu sala de estar en un spa de día, organiza una noche de juegos, acampa en tu patio trasero o planifica una búsqueda del tesoro escondido. El único límite es tu imaginación. Si quieres ir un poco más lejos, ¡aprovecha tus vacaciones para descubrir tu ciudad! Durante el verano, tu pueblo o ciudad puede ser sede de celebraciones y festivales que tu familia puede disfrutar. Averigua si los museos, parques temáticos y centros comunitarios locales ofrecen descuentos para niños, estudiantes y familias. Haz una lista de los próximos éxitos de taquilla del verano y vayan al cine. Con un poco de creatividad, planificación y la voluntad de pensar con creatividad, podrás aprovechar al máximo el verano sin afectar tus finanzas.

CALIFORNIA OFFERS HEALTH INSURANCE FOR AS LITTLE AS $10 A MONTH. SOME PAY MORE IN TAX PENALTIES

California is one of four states that levies a tax penalty on uninsured households. Many people paying the fines are eligible for heavily subsidized health insurance through Covered California.

Californians

EVITA MULTAS FISCALES DE HASTA $850 POR NO TENER SEGURO MÉDICO: CALIFORNIA OFRECE OPCIONES POR TAN SOLO $10 AL MES

California es uno de los cuatro estados que impone una multa fiscal a los hogares sin seguro médico. Muchas personas que pagan las multas son elegibles para un seguro fuertemente subsidiado a través de Covered California.

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL

Ana B. Ibarra CalMatters

without health insurance are again facing tax penalties this year, and some may pay more in fines than they’d spend buying coverage, state officials say.

That’s because some of them may qualify for heavily subsidized insurance and not know it. California’s insurance marketplace, Covered California, offers health insurance for as little as $10 a month, with rates depending on household income and size, as well as location and age.

“There are a lot of people who are paying more for the penalty by a large margin, in some cases, than they would pay to have the peace of mind of coverage. We should all take that to heart as a call to action because that should not be happening,” said Jessica Altman, executive director of Covered California, the state’s insurance marketplace, during her board’s February meeting.

During the 2022 tax season, the latest year for which data is available, more than 271,000 households paid fines for lacking health insurance the year prior, according to the Franchise Tax Board. All together those Californians paid the state about $312 million.

The average penalty per household that year? $1,149.

California is one of four states, plus the District of Columbia, that penalizes residents for not having health insurance. This tax season, Californians are seeing health insurance penalties of up to $850 per adult and $425 per child.

Who pays the California health insurance penalty?

Lower-income households bear the brunt of the state’s insurance penalty. About 60% of those who paid the fines earned $50,000 or less.

About 600,000 uninsured Californians are eligible for subsidized insurance through Covered California, according to estimates by the UCLA Health Policy Research Center cited by the agency.

Of those, 260,000 could sign up for a health plan for less than $10 a month or snag a highdeductible plan with free monthly premiums, Covered California spokesperson Jagdip Dhillon said in an email.

For example, a family of four in Los Angeles earning $50,000 could qualify for a standard plan for $28 a month or a high deductible plan with no monthly premiums, according to Covered California’s quote tool. Meanwhile a single person making the same amount in the same city would have to pay about $295 a month for a standard plan.

People may be going without insurance because it is still unaffordable for them, or because they’re unaware of the generous subsidies, said Alicia Emanuel, a staff attorney and advocate with the National Health Law Program.

“Californians continue to really struggle between having to pay for health care and think about basic needs,” Emanuel said.

“As good a job as Covered California does in all of their marketing and outreach efforts, I think that health care continues to be a scary topic for people. It’s complicated. I think that means we have to work harder collectively to get the word out.”

Privacy law limits direct outreach

While the state may have an idea of who is going without insurance and who may qualify for a low-cost plan, targeting those individuals is not as easy as having an insurance agent call them.

Covered California officials said that by state law, the agency cannot proactively share information about consumers with enrollment counselors. The

agency instead sends information to individuals so that they then can seek help on their own.

Not all Californians who lack insurance are penalized. There are exemptions for reasons such as living only part of the year in California, reporting a hardship or going without coverage less than three months. People can also seek an exemption if health coverage is considered unaffordable, if that coverage would cost more than 8.17% of their household income.

Undocumented immigrants are also exempt from the insurance mandate because the federal Affordable Care Act bars them from buying health coverage on states’ insurance marketplaces. California allows low-income undocumented people into the Medi-Cal program, but they are not penalized if they don’t sign up.

The open enrollment period to buy a plan through Covered California is now closed, but people can still sign up if they have a life-changing event, such as having a child, getting married or if they lose a job.

California’s subsidized health care coverage

Insurance plans bought through the marketplace are heavily subsidized for thousands of Californians because of federal aid provided first by the American Rescue Plan in 2021 and continued by the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. Extra federal funding means Californians can receive enhanced subsidies for health insurance through 2025.

Experts say the extra help makes a difference.

Last month, Covered California announced that a record number of people — close to 1.8 million— had selected a plan through the marketplace for 2024, that includes about 300,000 new enrollees. Emanuel said she would expect this to translate into fewer households paying penalties next year.

In 2019, Congress and the Trump administration eliminated a provision in the 2010 Affordable Care Act that required people to buy insurance or pay a tax penalty. Soon after, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law requiring Californians to buy insurance and instituting a penalty for those who go uninsured..

The health mandate has been regarded as unpopular but effective in nudging people to get covered.

In 2022, California reached an uninsured rate of 6.2% in people under 65 — a historic low. Experts and state officials say that as California reduces its number of uninsured people, those remaining will simply be the toughest to reach.

Loscalifornianos sin seguro médico se enfrentan nuevamente a sanciones fiscales este año, y algunos pueden pagar más en multas de lo que gastarían en comprar cobertura, dicen funcionarios estatales.

Esto se debe a que algunos de ellos pueden calificar para un seguro fuertemente subsidiado y no lo saben. El mercado de seguros de California, Covered California, ofrece seguro médico por tan solo $10 al mes, con tarifas que dependen del ingreso y el tamaño del hogar, así como de la ubicación y la edad.

“Hay muchas personas que pagan más por la multa, en algunos casos, por un amplio margen, de lo que pagarían por tener la tranquilidad de tener una cobertura. Todos deberíamos tomar esto en serio como un llamado a la acción porque eso no debería estar sucediendo”, dijo Jessica Altman, directora ejecutiva de Covered California, el mercado de seguros del estado, durante la reunión de su junta directiva en febrero. Durante la temporada de impuestos de 2022, el último año del que hay datos disponibles, más de 271,000 hogares pagaron multas por falta de seguro médico el año anterior, según la Franchise Tax Board. En total, estos californianos pagaron al estado alrededor de $312 millones.

¿La pena promedio por hogar ese año? $1,149. California es uno de los cuatro estados, más el Distrito de Columbia, que penaliza a los residentes por no tener seguro médico. Esta temporada de impuestos, los californianos están viendo multas por seguro médico de hasta $850 por adulto y $425 por niño.

¿Quién paga la multa del seguro médico de California?

Los hogares de bajos ingresos son los más afectados por la multa del seguro estatal. Alrededor del 60% de los que pagaron las multas ganaron 50,000 dólares o menos.

Alrededor de 600,000 californianos sin seguro son elegibles para un seguro subsidiado a través de Covered California, según estimaciones del Centro de Investigación de Políticas de Salud de UCLA citadas por la agencia.

De ellos, 260,000 podrían inscribirse en un plan de salud por menos de 10 dólares al mes o contratar un plan con deducible alto con primas mensuales gratuitas, dijo el portavoz de Covered California, Jagdip Dhillon, en un correo electrónico.

Por ejemplo, una familia de cuatro personas en Los Ángeles que gane $50,000 podría calificar para un plan estándar por $28 al mes o un plan con deducible alto sin primas mensuales, según la herramienta de cotización de Covered California. Mientras tanto, una sola persona que gane la misma cantidad en la misma ciudad tendría que pagar alrededor de 295 dólares al mes por un plan estándar.

Es posible que las personas se queden sin seguro

porque todavía les resulta inasequible o porque desconocen los generosos subsidios, dijo Alicia Emanuel, abogada y defensora del Programa Nacional de Leyes de Salud.

“Los californianos siguen luchando entre tener que pagar la atención médica y pensar en las necesidades básicas”, dijo Emanuel.

“A pesar del buen trabajo que hace Covered California en todos sus esfuerzos de marketing y divulgación, creo que la atención médica sigue siendo un tema aterrador para la gente. Es complicado. Creo que eso significa que tenemos que trabajar más duro colectivamente para hacer correr la voz”.

La ley de privacidad limita el alcance directo Si bien el estado puede tener una idea de quién se queda sin seguro y quién puede calificar para un plan de bajo costo, dirigirse a esas personas no es tan fácil como que un agente de seguros los llame. Los funcionarios de Covered California dijeron que, según la ley estatal, la agencia no puede compartir de manera proactiva información sobre los consumidores con los asesores de inscripción. En cambio, la agencia envía información a las personas para que luego puedan buscar ayuda por sí mismas.

No todos los californianos que carecen de seguro son penalizados. Hay exenciones por motivos tales como vivir sólo una parte del año en California, informar una dificultad o estar sin cobertura menos de tres meses. Las personas también pueden solicitar una exención si la cobertura médica se considera inasequible, si esa cobertura costaría más del 8.17% de los ingresos de su hogar.

Los inmigrantes indocumentados también están exentos del mandato de seguro porque la Ley federal de Atención Médica Asequible les prohíbe comprar cobertura médica en los mercados de seguros estatales. California permite que personas indocumentadas de bajos ingresos sean parte del programa MediCal, pero no son penalizadas si no se inscriben. El período de inscripción abierta para comprar un plan a través de Covered California ya está cerrado, pero las personas aún pueden inscribirse si tienen un evento que les cambia la vida, como tener un hijo, casarse o si pierden el trabajo.

Cobertura de atención médica subsidiada de California

Los planes de seguro adquiridos a través del mercado están fuertemente subsidiados para miles de californianos debido a la ayuda federal proporcionada primero por el Plan de Rescate Estadounidense en 2021 y continuada por la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación en 2022. La financiación federal adicional significa que los californianos pueden recibir subsidios mejorados para el seguro médico hasta 2025.

Los expertos dicen que la ayuda adicional marca la diferencia. El mes pasado, Covered California anunció que un número récord de personas (cerca de 1.8 millones) había seleccionado un plan a través del mercado para 2024, que incluye alrededor de 300,000 nuevos afiliados. Emanuel dijo que esperaría que esto se traduzca en que menos hogares paguen multas el próximo año.

En 2019, el Congreso y la administración Trump eliminaron una disposición de la Ley de Atención Médica Asequible de 2010 que exigía que las personas compraran un seguro o pagaran una multa fiscal. Poco después, el gobernador Gavin Newsom firmó una ley que exige que los californianos compren un seguro e instituye una sanción para quienes no tengan seguro. El mandato de salud ha sido considerado impopular pero eficaz para impulsar a las personas a obtener cobertura.

En 2022, California alcanzó una tasa de personas sin seguro médico del 6.2 % entre personas menores de 65 años, un mínimo histórico. Los expertos y funcionarios estatales dicen que a medida que California reduzca el número de personas sin seguro, los que queden serán simplemente los más difíciles de alcanzar.

Esta nota fue realizada con el respaldo de la California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), que trabaja para garantizar que las personas tengan acceso a la atención que necesitan, cuando la necesitan y a un precio que puedan pagar. Visite www.chcf.org para obtener más información.

SURVEY: CA WOMEN AGE 40-PLUS HIGHLY LIKELY TO VOTE

ENCUESTA: MUJERES EN CA MAYORES DE 40 AÑOS, MUY PROPENSAS A VOTAR

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL

Suzanne Potter California News Service

Nearly80% of California women age 40 and older say they are highly motivated to vote, according to a new survey from AARP.

Researchers for the new "She's the Difference" California survey polled 1,600 women and found many are highly concerned about political divisions.

Kate Bridges, senior research adviser for AARP, said older women are an influential voting bloc.

"Not only are they sizable in number, but they consistently vote," Bridges pointed out. "In the 2022 election, they cast a third of the ballots, while only making up about a quarter of the full electorate."

Survey respondents' top issues, in order, are threats to democracy, voting rights, jobs, education, political division, and inflation. Also of high importance are gun violence, election security, crime, housing costs, abortion, racism, immigration and climate change.

Lucia Del Puppo, senior vice president of Los Angeles-based FM3 Research, reported almost half of women said they are less financially secure than they expected to be at this age and they want elected officials to focus on protecting Medicare and lowering the

"The things that were most helpful were lowering the cost of food, protecting Social Security, lowering the cost of utilities, decreasing taxes, and lowering the cost of health care."

The survey found if the election were held now, 53% of respondents would favor Dem ocrats, 29% prefer Republicans, 4% would go with another party and 13% are unde cided. Among those surveyed, 92% said a candidate's values are the most important

"No solo son numerosas, sino que votan consistentemente," asegura Bridges. "En las elecciones de 2022, emitieron un tercio de los votos, aunque solo representaban una cuarta parte del electorado."

Los principales problemas de las encuestadas son, por orden, las amenazas a la democracia, el derecho al voto, el empleo, la educación, la división política e inflación. También son muy importantes la violencia armada, la seguridad en las elecciones, la delincuencia, el costo de la vivienda, el aborto, el racismo, la migración y el cambio climático.

Lucia Del Puppo, de la firma encuestadora FM3 Research con sede en Los Angeles, dijo que casi la mitad de las mujeres dicen tener menos seguridad financiera de lo que esperaban a esta edad y quieren que los funcionarios electos se centren en proteger Medicare y reducir el costo de vida.

"El 85% o más dijo que los aspectos más útiles eran la reducción del costo de los alimentos, proteger el Seguro Social, reducir el costo de los servicios públicos, disminuir los impuestos y reducir el costo de la atención médica," dice Del Puppo.

CÓMO ALGUNOS VOTANTES DE CALIFORNIA INTENTARON ENVIAR A BIDEN UN MENSAJE SOBRE EL ALTO EL FUEGO EN GAZA

En otros estados, los demócratas partidarios de un alto el fuego votaron “no comprometidos” en sus primarias presidenciales. Eso no fue posible en California, pero los votos de protesta aparecieron en algunos rincones, incluido Los Ángeles.

Entodo Estados Unidos, el esfuerzo por retener votos del presidente Biden hasta que exija un alto el fuego permanente en Gaza ha hecho cierto ruido.

Siguiendo a Michigan, en el que el 13% de los demócratas votaron “no comprometidos”, el 29% lo hizo en Hawaii, el 19% en Minnesota y el 13% en Carolina del Norte.

En California, más de seis de cada diez votantes probables apoyan un alto el fuego inmediato, y algunas protestas han pedido a la administración Biden que corte la ayuda militar a Israel.

Pero eso no se tradujo plenamente en las urnas. Según algunos organizadores comunitarios, los esfuerzos en California, donde no había ninguna opción “no comprometida” en la boleta electoral, fueron menos cohesivos que en otros estados.

Los líderes de California del comité de acción política del Consejo de Relaciones Estadounidenses-Islámicas pidieron a los votantes demócratas que dejen la carrera presidencial en blanco y se aseguren de votar en otras contiendas. Se alentó a otros votantes a votar por la demócrata Marianne Williamson, y a algunos se les dijo que votaran por el candidato del partido Paz y Libertad, Cornel West, quienes apoyan un alto el fuego.

“Siempre es más fácil no votar por nadie que votar por alguien como protesta”, señaló Christian Grose, profesor de ciencias políticas y políticas públicas de la Universidad del Sur de California.

En todo el estado, con más del 80% de los votos proyectados contados hasta el miércoles, Biden obtuvo el 89% de los votos en las primarias presidenciales demócratas. Eso se compara con casi el 100% en 2012, cuando Barack Obama se postuló contra sólo tres candidatos inscritos para un segundo mandato.

El voto de protesta típico en pasadas primarias presidenciales no competitivas en Estados Unidos ha sido de alrededor del 7%, según el New York Times. Biden aseguró la nominación del partido el martes después de las primarias en otros estados.

Pero el equivalente al voto “no comprometido” en California es más difícil de rastrear.

Los condados informan los resultados de manera diferente. Por ejemplo, no todos los condados publican “ votos insuficientes ”: boletas con la contienda en blanco, y algunos no publican el número total de votos por escrito de inmediato. Eso incluye condados con grandes poblaciones árabes, del sur de Asia o musulmanas en general, como el condado de San Diego. Y no todos los votos en blanco, o votos a

favor de Williamson, fueron a favor de un alto el fuego.

Arbazz Mohammed, cofundador de Muslim Visionaries, un grupo organizador comunitario con sede en Inland Empire, dijo que las reglas electorales de los partidos pueden dificultar que los votantes opten por opciones menos convencionales.

Lo que se puede deducir de las cifras hasta ahora: en 39 condados para los que había datos disponibles, más de 160.000 votantes dejaron la contienda en blanco de más de 3,1 millones de votos en las primarias demócratas. Otros 100.000 votaron por Williamson o un candidato por escrito.

Un camino cuesta arriba para los votos de protesta

Que los votantes tengan o no una opción “no comprometida” depende de los partidos políticos de cada estado. California es uno de los 25 estados en los que los demócratas no tienen esa opción.

Pero hay otros factores que hacen que un voto de protesta sea un desafío. Sin recursos significativos, es difícil tener éxito en un estado del tamaño de California, dijo Grose.

“Es realmente difícil cubrir las ondas de radio, participar en las redes sociales, realmente hacer que la idea del voto de protesta llegue a la atención de la gran mayoría del electorado, porque es un estado tan grande”, dijo.

También lleva tiempo difundir ese mensaje, pero las primarias presidenciales de marzo, en lugar de las habituales primarias de junio, lo hicieron difícil.

“California no tuvo tanto tiempo para hacer llegar esta campaña a la mayor cantidad de gente posible”, dijo Hena Zuberi, miembro de la junta directiva de United

carrera presidencial en California, planean centrarse en carreras distritales competitivas en las elecciones generales.

Eso incluye la carrera por el Distrito 41 del Congreso entre el representante republicano Ken Calvert y el demócrata Will Rollins, una de las carreras que podría ser clave para determinar qué partido controla la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos .

Path America, un grupo que ahora está trabajando para promover el voto no comprometido en Maryland en sus primarias de mayo. . “Así que eso es algo de lo que estamos tratando de aprender… y comenzar temprano aquí”.

Pero el factor más importante podría ser la diversidad de California: ningún grupo racial o étnico constituye la mayoría de la población. Y si bien tiene un mayor número de árabes estadounidenses que Michigan, representan una proporción menor de la población total del estado.

Además de la demografía, también hay cierta diversidad política.

Si bien California se percibe como extremadamente izquierdista y progresista, salvo algunas excepciones (incluido Bernie Sanders en 2020 ), el estado casi siempre ha apoyado al candidato demócrata convencional en sus primarias, señaló Grose.

Y aunque una mayoría de votantes probables apoya un alto el fuego, la encuesta del Instituto de Políticas Públicas de California señala que los californianos están más divididos sobre la ayuda militar estadounidense a Israel y la ayuda humanitaria a Gaza.

Parpadeos de impacto

Hubo algunos focos donde más votantes expresaron su descontento.

En el condado de Los Ángeles, alrededor del 15% de los demócratas no votaron por Biden, según el análisis de CalMatters de los votos contados hasta ahora. En los condados de Sacramento y San Bernardino, el total fue más del 11%. En los tres condados, casi el 100% de los demócratas votaron por Obama en 2012.

Mohammed, el organizador comunitario, dijo que si bien los votantes sabían que sería difícil cambiar significativamente la

Rollins está a unos 22.000 votos detrás de Calvert en las primarias. Si los demócratas quieren lograr avances en las elecciones generales, Mohammad dice que el partido necesitará negociar con los votantes del distrito, donde hay una creciente comunidad musulmana, que no son todos árabes estadounidenses, pero que comparten una preocupación por la política estadounidense en materia de derechos humanos. la guerra de Gaza . Es difícil encontrar cifras exactas, ya que el Censo tiene prohibido preguntar sobre religión . Pero la Sociedad Islámica de Corona Norco, ubicada en el distrito, atiende al menos a 6.000 feligreses.

“Si vamos a votar por Will o no, y eso está sucediendo en muchas otras contiendas, desde el nivel del Congreso hasta el nivel estatal, y también en las contiendas locales”, dijo Mohammed. “Si hay una población decente de musulmanes… y salen a votar, podría perjudicar o ayudar”.

En general, alrededor de seis de cada diez adultos en distritos electorales competitivos apoyan un alto el fuego, según PPIC.

El sábado, el presidente Biden pidió un alto el fuego de seis semanas durante el Ramadán y un intercambio de rehenes y prisioneros, tras su discurso sobre el Estado de la Unión la semana pasada, cuando anunció un nuevo esfuerzo para llevar ayuda humanitaria por mar.

Mientras tanto, para los californianos con familia en Gaza, la organización política continúa con el espectro constante de la crisis humanitaria.

“Uno se siente culpable porque, ya sabe, el dinero de mis contribuyentes y las bombas estadounidenses están matando a mi gente”, dijo Basim Elkarra, director ejecutivo del capítulo de Sacramento y el Valle Central del Consejo de Relaciones Islámicas Estadounidenses. “Es una situación muy, muy difícil, especialmente en Ramadán. El Ramadán acaba de comenzar. Y no puedo ni imaginar lo que está pasando mi familia y mi gente en este momento donde se mueren de hambre, los niños mueren de desnutrición.

“Es como una pesadilla que no termina”. La reportera de datos de CalMatters, Jeremia Kimelman, contribuyó a esta historia.

HOW SOME CALIFORNIA VOTERS TRIED TO SEND BIDEN A MESSAGE ON GAZA CEASEFIRE

In other states, pro-ceasefire Democrats voted “uncommitted” in their presidential primary. That wasn’t possible in California, but protest votes showed up in a few pockets, including Los Angeles.

Sameea Kamal CalMatters

Around the U.S., the effort to withhold votes from President Biden until he demands a permanent ceasefire in Gaza has made some noise.

Following Michigan, in which 13% of Democrats voted “uncommitted,” 29% did so in Hawaii, 19% in Minnesota and 13% in North Carolina.

In California, more than six in ten likely voters support an immediate ceasefire, and some protests have called for the Biden administration to cut off military aid to Israel.

But that didn’t fully translate at the ballot box. Efforts in California — where there was no “uncommitted” option on the ballot — were less cohesive than in other states, according to some community organizers.

California leaders with the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations political action committee called for Democratic voters to leave the presidential race blank and make sure to vote in other contests. Other voters were encouraged to vote for Democrat Marianne Williamson, and some were told to vote for Peace and Freedom party candidate Cornel West, both of whom support a ceasefire.

“It’s always easier to vote for no one than it is to vote for somebody as a protest,” noted Christian Grose, professor of political science and public policy at the University of Southern California.

Statewide, with more than 80% of the projected vote counted as of Wednesday, Biden won 89% of votes in the Democratic presidential primary. That’s compared to nearly 100% in 2012, when Barack Obama ran against only three write-in candidates for a second term.

The typical protest vote in past non-competitive presidential primaries in the U.S. has been about 7%, according to the New York Times. Biden secured the party’s nomination Tuesday after primaries in other states.

But the equivalent of the “uncommitted” vote in California is harder to track.

Counties report results differently. For example, not every county publishes “undervotes” — ballots with the race left blank, and some don’t publish the total number of write-in ballots immediately. That includes counties with large Arab, South Asian or general Muslim populations, such as San Diego County. And not every blank vote, or vote for Williamson, was for a ceasefire.

Arbazz Mohammed, co-founder of Muslim Visionaries, a community organizing group based in the Inland Empire, said the parties’ election rules can make it difficult for voters to opt for less mainstream choices.

What can be gleaned from the numbers so far: In 39 counties for which the data was available, more than 160,000 voters left the race blank out of more than 3.1 million ballots in the Democratic primary. Another 100,000 voted for Williamson or a writein candidate.

An uphill climb for protest votes

Whether or not voters have an “uncommitted” option is up to each state’s political parties. California is one of about 25 states in which Democrats don’t have that choice.

But there are other factors that make a protest vote challenging. Without significant resources, it’s hard to pull off in a state of California’s size, Grose said.

“It’s really hard to blanket the airwaves, engage in social media, really get the idea of the protest vote to the attention of the vast majority of the elector-

ate, because it’s just so it’s such a big state,” he said.

It also takes time to get that messaging out, but a March presidential primary, instead of the usual June primary, made that difficult.

“California didn’t have as much time to get this campaign out to as many people as possible,” said Hena Zuberi, a board member of United Path America, a group that’s now working to promote the uncommitted vote in Maryland in its May primary. “So that’s something we’re trying to learn from … and start early here.”

But the biggest factor might be California’s diversity: No racial or ethnic group constitutes a majority of the population. And while it has a higher num-

ber of Arab Americans than Michigan, they make up a smaller share of the state’s total population.

In addition to demographics, there’s some political diversity, too.

While California is perceived as extremely leftleaning and progressive, apart from a few exceptions (including Bernie Sanders in 2020), the state has pretty much always supported the mainstream Democratic candidate in its primary, Grose noted.

And while a majority of likely voters supports a ceasefire, the Public Policy Institute of California poll notes that Californians are more divided on U.S. military aid to Israel, and on humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Flickers of impact

There were some pockets where more voters lodged their discontent.

In Los Angeles County, about 15% of Democrats didn’t vote for Biden, according to the CalMatters analysis of votes counted so far. In Sacramento and San Bernardino counties, the total was more than 11%. In all three counties, nearly 100% of Democrats voted for Obama in 2012.

Mohammed, the community organizer, said while voters knew it would be difficult to significantly shift the presidential race in California, they do plan to focus on competitive district races in the general election.

That includes the 41st Congressional District race between Republican Rep. Ken Calvert and Democrat Will Rollins — one of the races that could be key in determining which party controls the U.S. House.

Rollins is running about 22,000 votes behind Calvert in the primary. If Democrats want to make gains in the general election, Mohammad says the party will need to negotiate with voters in the district, where there is a growing Muslim community — who aren’t all Arab Americans, but who share a concern about U.S. policy on the Gaza war. Exact numbers are hard to find, since the Census is prohibited from asking about religion. But the Islamic Society of Corona Norco, located in the district, serves at least 6,000 congregants.

“Whether we’re going to vote for Will or not — and that’s playing out in many other races, from the congressional level all the way to the state level, and also local races,” Mohammed said. “If there’s a decent population of Muslims … and they do come out to vote, it could hurt or help.”

In general, about six in ten adults in competitive congressional districts support a ceasefire, according to PPIC.

On Saturday, President Biden called for a six-week ceasefire during Ramadan and a hostage-prisoner exchange, following his State of the Union address last week when he announced a new effort to bring in humanitarian aid by sea.

Meanwhile, for Californians with family in Gaza, political organizing continues with the constant specter of the humanitarian crisis.

“You feel this guilt that, you know, my taxpayer dollars and U.S. bombs are killing my people,” said Basim Elkarra, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations’ Sacramento and Central Valley chapter. “It’s just a very, very difficult situation, especially in Ramadan. Ramadan just started. And I can’t even imagine what my family and my people are going through at this moment where they’re starving, children are dying of malnutrition.

“It’s like a nightmare that’s not ending.”

CA REFERENDUM WOULD LIFT BAN ON NEW OIL WELLS NEAR HOMES

Suzanne Potter California News Service

Areferendum

on the ballot this fall gives California voters the chance to either uphold or reject a law which would require oil and gas wells to be set back 3,200 feet from sensitive areas such as schools and homes.

Senate Bill 1137 never went into effect. It is on hold until the vote in November.

Meghan Sahli-Wells, former mayor of Culver City and a board member of Elected Officials to Protect America, noted the referendum is funded by the fossil-fuel industry.

"Basically, they're asking to continue to poison California communities, when California communities have fought so hard for these protections," Sahli-Wells contended. Oil and gas interests argued the changes could phase out thousands of wells as permits are not renewed and raise gas prices. However, a 2022 study from Harvard University found elderly people living near drilling or fracking wells are at higher risk of early death from diseases related to air pollution.

A "Yes" vote on the referendum would keep the restrictions in place. A "no" vote

would repeal them.

Alex Walker-Griffin, mayor of Hercules, said poor air quality near oil and gas wells disproportionately affects neighborhoods of color.

"This is an issue that will plague lowincome communities, places like Kern County," Walker-Griffin explained. "Those households that are nearby, those are farmworkers, those are people who are already at a disadvantage. I think about the folks in Compton or Watts, they're going to have one more reason why their kids are more likely to have asthma."

The California Independent Petroleum Association said the law would prevent planned, new, in-state production, which could increase reliance on foreign oil and hurt oil-industry workers.

ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES CHEER NEW EPA CLEAN-CAR RULES

Clean-air

groups are calling the Biden administration's new rules on vehicle pollution the single biggest action the Environmental Protection Agency has ever taken to fight climate change.

The EPA's new policy requires auto companies to reduce the pollution from cars starting in model year 2027.

Laura Deehan, state director of Environment California, said it will push the industry to produce more hybrids and allelectric vehicles.

"The rule includes cars and light trucks, like SUVs," Deehan explained. "They need

to make sure that they reduce the average amount of pollution being released from vehicles by 95% by the year 2032."

The American Petroleum Institute opposes the rule, calling it a de facto ban on gas-powered vehicles, restricting consumer choice. The EPA said the rules will prevent more than 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and cleaner air will save $13 billion in health spending.

Bill Magavern, policy director at the Coalition for Clean Air, said the new rules are a big improvement on existing law but added he is disappointed they are weaker than what was originally proposed due to objections from the auto industry.

"Before the emission standards were lower sooner, so they essentially have extended the timeline," Magavern pointed out. "There's an urgency to cleaning up our air. So any delay has a cost."

The rules will bring the rest of the country in line with California, which already has strict emissions standards in place. Many large automakers have pledged to produce more electric and hybrid vehicles.

LOOKING AT CALIFORNIA’S HATE REPORTING HOTLINE ONE YEAR IN

One year after the multilingual CA vs Hate reporting hotline was launched, how has it answered hate?

ASelen Ozturk Ethnic Media Services

t a Friday, March 15 Ethnic Media Services briefing, CA vs Hate staff, civil rights state organizers and community organizations on the ground discussed hate crime trends throughout California, and how the hotline connects those experiencing hate with local resources including mental health support, legal aid and financial help.

The hotline

Since the CA vs Hate line was launched in May 2023, “we have received 823 reports of hate across 79% of the counties in California,” said Chantel Bermudez, senior manager of the hotline.

The protected status reported most often is race, ethnicity, country of origin; then religion; sexual orientation; and gender identity. “66% of those who reported hate accepted care services,” she added, the top five kinds being legal aid, general counseling; consumer complaint assistance; community action and social advocacy; and landlord tenant assistance.

The resource is open between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday by phone at 833-8-NO-HATE or 833-8664283, or anytime online at cavshate.org, for California residents to privately report and get support in over 200 languages for non-emergency hate crimes and incidents for free, regardless of immigration status, and anonymously if they choose.

Community organizations partnered with the hotline provide hate response services statewide through weekly case conferences with state civil rights agents, said CA Civil Rights Department Community-Based Organization Manager James Williams, Jr.

“This is one of the largest efforts of its kind by the sheer size of our state, and many states are looking at how we implement it by working together to help those in need of support,” he added. “As California goes, so goes much of the nation.”

Stopping hate on the ground

The CA vs Hate network includes 13 call centers and five direct victim support organizations statewide.

“When someone calls the line, we provide an interpreter in their preferred language, and referrals to the type of resources they want. Someone trained to take reports writes a description of what bias motivations and words or actions the hate act included,” said Yolie Anguiano, CA vs Hate director for 211LA, the state hotline’s lead agency, which has provided

a similar 24-hour LA vs Hate service for a third of Californians since 2019.

“You don’t have to be the targeted person— you can also report as an advocate or a witness,” she added.

“How can we ensure that we’re not only responding to hate, but preventing it?

Hate is on the rise statewide, and comes in many forms,” said Cynthia Choi, cofounder of hotline partner Stop AAPI Hate

1,300 of these reports were of suspected racial, ethnic or national origin bias, while half of these targeted Black Californians — 27.1% more than the prior year.

Furthermore, Black students in about 6% of California public schools report experiencing hate.

“The highest-reported situations our units statewide get are school violence

How can we ensure that we’re not only responding to hate , but preventing it? Hate is on the rise statewide, and comes in many forms.

-Cynthia Choi, co-founder of hotline partner Stop AAPI Hate and co-executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action

and co-executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action. “To only treat criminal incidents as serious is a disservice to our community that furthers a sense of distrust and hopelessness that nothing can be done.”

“We learned very quickly from those who called us that even the fact that somebody on the other end is believing, listening to and caring about what they share with us — that there is, who cares to listen — has a healing effect,” Choi added.

Even among criminal incidents, hate is skyrocketing.

The latest available FBI data, from 2022, shows that reported hate crimes soared statewide for nearly every demographic group in California. There were a total of 2,120 reported crimes — a 20.2% jump from the previous year.

LGBT+ hate crimes are also on the rise, with 391 motivated by sexual orientation bias in California in 2022 — 29% more than the previous year.

Furthermore, these are only reported crimes; the U.S. National Crime Victimization Survey estimates that at least 40% to 50% of all hate crimes are unreported to law enforcement.

Overall, LGBT+ people are nine times more likely to be victims of a hate crime than non-LGBT individuals.

“Since the CA vs Hate line kicked off, we’ve definitely seen an increase in people seeking services against discrimination, especially legal housing and mental health support,” said Ariel Bustamante, senior manager of capacity building at hotline partner LA LGBT Center.

“From a small business owner being gunned down for visible support of the community, to a terrified parent calling us about their elementary school child who was assaulted on campus by another student after being targeted for their sexual orientation, to a transgender woman struggling to remain housed due to a violent neighbor and negligent landlord, to even Senator Weiner being targeted, these incidents highlight the urgent need to not only respond to hate, but ensure it doesn’t happen,” she continued.

situations specifically targeted at Black students,” said Connie Alexander-Boaitey, president of hotline partner NAACP Santa Barbara. “Unfortunately, most of this hate towards black students is being perpetrated by Latinx students … and we’re struggling in the communication between these communities. How do you focus on school when you’re being traumatized every day?”

To address this school hate, NAACP Santa Barbara and the California Civil Rights Department kicked off an ongoing series of intercommunity dialogues between the Latino and Black communities on February 26.

“You can report and report hate, but if we don’t encourage communities to talk to each other, we can’t get to the source and help our students thrive at school,” said Alexander-Boaitey.

“These acts of hate are interconnected — when we see increases in one area, we often see increases across the board, and understandably, people sometimes feel reluctance or distrust in reporting it,” said Becky Monroe, deputy director of strategic initiatives for the California Civil Rights Department.

“This is why it’s so important to encourage people to report or get help through their community organization if they don’t feel safe coming directly to us,” she added. “When it comes to stopping hate, there should be no wrong door.”

This resource is supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library in partnership with the California Department of Social Services and the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs as part of the Stop the Hate program.

UNA VISTAZO A LA LÍNEA DIRECTA DE DENUNCIAS DE ODIO DE CALIFORNIA UN AÑO DESPUÉS

Un año después del lanzamiento de la línea directa multilingüe de denuncias CA vs Hate, ¿cómo ha respondido al odio?

EnSelen Ozturk Ethnic Media Services

una sesión informativa del viernes 15 de marzo de Ethnic Media Services, el personal de CA vs Hate, los organizadores estatales de derechos civiles y las organizaciones comunitarias sobre el terreno discutieron las tendencias de los delitos de odio en todo California, y cómo la línea directa conecta a quienes sufren odio con recursos locales, incluido apoyo de salud mental, asistencia legal y ayuda financiera.

La línea directa

Desde que se lanzó la línea CA vs Hate en mayo de 2023, “hemos recibido 823 informes de odio en el 79% de los condados de California”, dijo Chantel Bermúdez, gerente senior de la línea directa.

El estado de protección reportado con mayor frecuencia es raza, etnia y país de origen; luego religión; orientación sexual; e identidad de género. “El 66% de quienes denunciaron odio aceptaron servicios de atención”, añadió, siendo los cinco tipos principales asistencia jurídica, asesoramiento general; asistencia para quejas del consumidor; acción comunitaria y promoción social; y asistencia entre propietarios e inquilinos.

El recurso está abierto entre las 9 a. m. y las 6 p. m. De lunes a viernes por teléfono al 833-8-NO-HATE o 833-866-4283, o en cualquier momento en línea en cavshate.org, para que los residentes de California informen de forma privada y obtengan apoyo en más de 200 idiomas sobre incidentes y delitos de odio que no sean de emergencia, de forma gratuita, independientemente de su estatus migratorio, y de forma anónima si así lo desean.

Las organizaciones comunitarias asociadas con la línea directa brindan servicios de respuesta al odio en todo el estado a través de conferencias semanales de casos con agentes estatales de derechos civiles, dijo el gerente de organizaciones comunitarias del Departa-

mento de Derechos Civiles de California, James Williams, Jr.

"Este es uno de los esfuerzos más grandes de su tipo por el tamaño de nuestro estado, y muchos estados están analizando cómo implementarlo trabajando juntos para ayudar a quienes necesitan apoyo", agregó.

“A medida que avanza California, también avanza gran parte de la nación”.

Detener el odio en el terreno

La red CA vs Hate incluye 13 centros de llamadas y cinco organizaciones de apoyo directo a las víctimas en todo el estado.

“Cuando alguien llama a la línea, le brindamos un intérprete en su idioma preferido y referencias al tipo de recursos que desea. Alguien capacitado para tomar informes escribe una descripción de las motivaciones parciales y las palabras o acciones que incluyó el acto de odio”, dijo Yolie Anguiano, directora de CA vs Hate para 211LA, la agencia principal de la línea directa estatal, que ha proporcionado un informe similar de 24 horas sobre el servicio LA vs Hate para un tercio de los californianos desde 2019.

“No es necesario que sea la persona objetivo; también puede denunciar como defensor o testigo”, añadió.

“¿Cómo podemos asegurarnos de que no sólo respondamos al odio, sino que lo prevengamos? El odio está aumentando en

todo el estado y se presenta en muchas formas”, dijo Cynthia Choi, cofundadora de la línea directa Stop AAPI Hate y codirectora ejecutiva de Chinese for Affirmative Action. . "Tratar los incidentes criminales únicamente como serios es un deservicio a nuestra comunidad y fomenta una sensación de desconfianza y desesperanza de que no se puede hacer nada".

“Aprendimos muy rápidamente de quienes nos llamaron que incluso el hecho de que alguien al otro lado de la línea crea, escuche y se preocupe por lo que comparte con nosotros - que exista alguién, a quién le importa escuchar - tiene un efecto curativo”, Agregó Choi

Incluso entre los incidentes criminales, el odio se está disparando.

Los últimos datos disponibles del FBI, de 2022, muestran que los delitos de odio denunciados se dispararon en todo el estado

para casi todos los grupos demográficos de California. Hubo un total de 2.120 delitos denunciados, un aumento del 20,2% respecto al año anterior.

1.300 de estos informes se basaban en presuntos prejuicios raciales, étnicos o de origen nacional, mientras que la mitad de ellos estaban dirigidos a californianos negros: un 27,1% más que el año anterior.

Además, los estudiantes negros en aproximadamente el 6% de las escuelas públicas de California informan que experimentan odio.

“Las situaciones más reportadas que reciben nuestras unidades en todo el estado son situaciones de violencia escolar dirigidas específicamente a estudiantes negros”, dijo Connie Alexander-Boaitey, presidenta de la línea directa NAACP Santa Barbara. “Desafortunadamente, la mayor parte de este odio hacia los estudiantes negros lo per-

petran estudiantes latinos... y estamos teniendo dificultades en la comunicación entre estas comunidades. ¿Cómo te concentras en la escuela cuando estás traumatizado todos los días?

Para abordar este odio escolar, la NAACP Santa Bárbara y el Departamento de Derechos Civiles de California iniciaron una serie de diálogos intercomunitarios entre las comunidades latina y negra el 26 de febrero.

"Se puede denunciar y denunciar el odio, pero si no animamos a las comunidades a hablar entre sí, no podremos llegar a la fuente y ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a prosperar en la escuela", dijo AlexanderBoaitey.

Los crímenes de odio LGBT+ también están aumentando, con 391 motivados por prejuicios de orientación sexual en California en 2022, - un 29% más que el año anterior.

Además, estos son sólo delitos denunciados; La Encuesta Nacional de Victimización por Delitos de Estados Unidos estima que al menos entre el 40% y el 50% de todos los delitos de odio no se denuncian a las autoridades.

En general, las personas LGBT+ tienen nueve veces más probabilidades de ser víctimas de un delito de odio que las personas no LGBT.

“Desde que comenzó la línea CA vs Hate, definitivamente hemos visto un aumento en las personas

que buscan servicios contra la discriminación, especialmente vivienda legal y apoyo de salud mental”, dijo Ariel Bustamante, gerente senior de desarrollo de capacidades en LA LGBT Center, socio de la línea directa.

“Desde el propietario de una pequeña empresa que fue asesinado a tiros por apoyar visiblemente a la comunidad, hasta un padre aterrorizado que nos llamó acerca de su hijo de escuela primaria que fue agredido en el campus por otro estudiante después de haber sido atacado por su orientación sexual, hasta una mujer transgénero que lucha por permanecer en su vivienda debido a un vecino violento y un propietario negligente, e incluso el senador Weiner fue atacado, estos incidentes resaltan la necesidad urgente no sólo de responder al odio, sino también de garantizar que no suceda”, continuó.

"Estos actos de odio están interconectados: cuando vemos aumentos en un área, a menudo vemos aumentos en todos los ámbitos y, comprensiblemente, la gente a veces se siente renuente o desconfiada a la hora de denunciarlo", dijo Becky Monroe, subdirectora de iniciativas estratégicas de California. Departamento de Derechos Civiles.

"Por eso es tan importante alentar a las personas a que denuncien u obtengan ayuda a través de su organización comunitaria si no se sienten seguras acudiendo directamente a nosotros", añadió. "Cuando se trata de detener el odio, no debería haber ninguna puerta equivocada".

WITH PROP. 1 PASSAGE, GAVIN NEWSOM AGAIN CHANGES HOW CALIFORNIANS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS GET HELP

Jocelyn Wiener CalMatters

Afterdays of uncertainty, the results are finally in: Californians, by a slim majority, have voted to throw their support behind Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest effort to overhaul how the state cares for people with serious mental illness.

The Associated Press on Wednesday declared that Proposition 1 passed by the narrowest of margins, 50.2% to 49.8%.

The passage of the two-pronged ballot measure will give Newsom funds to fulfill promises he has made while rolling out a series of other mental health policies in recent years – more housing, more treatment beds and a concerted focus on unhoused people with serious mental illnesses.

But it leaves the governor’s critics — including disability rights advocates and individuals living with mental illness — worried about cuts to other mental health programs and fearful it will result in the state placing more people in involuntary treatment.

The governor championed Prop. 1, which he has said “will help California make good on promises made decades ago.”

The initiative includes a $6.4 billion bond to pay for treatment beds and permanent supportive housing. It also requires that counties spend more of the mental health funds they receive from a special tax on income over $1 million on services for people who are chronically homeless.

While the ballot measure initially seemed a shoo-in, public support wavered in recent months. In part, that’s because the state’s ballooning deficit came into stark focus — with the Legislative Analyst’s Office projecting last month that it might be as big as $73 billion. Opponents of the ballot measure had also raised concerns that it could siphon money from community mental health organizations, possibly causing some to close.

Public concern about homelessness and a multi-million dollar advertising campaign eventually carried the measure to victory —but just barely.

“It’s still not a huge vote of confidence,” said

Thad Kousser, a UC San Diego professor of political science. He says Newsom failed to convince voters of just how effective other billion-dollar investments in helping unhoused people have been.

“To me, given the strong message, the money behind the message, the lack of organized opposition, I would have guessed at the beginning of this campaign it was headed for a 6040 win,” Kousser said.

Nevertheless, it did squeak by. And under the just-approved ballot measure, counties are now required to invest 30% of the money they receive from the state’s “millionaire’s tax” into housing programs, including rental subsidies and navigation services. Half of that will be used to target individuals who are chronically unhoused or living in encampments. Up to a quarter of the money could be used to build or purchase housing units.

The second part of the measure, the bond, is divided into two parts. About $4.4 billion will go toward inpatient and residential treatment beds. The rest is earmarked for permanent supportive housing, half of which would be set aside for veterans.

Darrell Steinberg, the mayor of Sacramento who co-authored the 2004 law that created the millionaire’s tax, said that, back then, he could “only dream that there would someday be a governor that would make mental illness and fixing the broken system a cornerstone of his governorship.”

“Gavin Newsom has done that,” he said.

Gavin Newsom’s mental health plans

Mental health has been one of Newsom’s priorities since before he took office. He campaigned for the governorship with big ideas about how California’s mental health system might be fixed and, specifically, about how funds from the “millionaire’s tax” for mental health could be better used.

In a 2018 post on Medium months before he was elected, Newsom decried the state’s lack of commitment to improving mental health care.

“We fall short because we lack the bold leadership and strategic vision necessary to bring the most advanced forms of care to scale across the state,” he wrote. “We lack the political will

necessary to elevate brain illness as a top-tier priority. We lack the unity and fervor needed to rally the medical and research communities around an unyielding search for ever-better diagnosis and treatment. We’re all living with the fallout.”

The need for mental health treatment continued to skyrocket since he took office. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically worsened the problem. The public experienced escalating trauma and anxiety, while mental health providers became increasingly burnt out.

Meanwhile, the number of unhoused people in the state continued to explode– growing 40% since 2018, the year Newsom was elected to a current estimate of 181,000.

In response, Newsom has championed a stream of major mental health initiatives. These include:

• A $4.7 billion package of programs for children and youth mental health.

• The creation of new court systems to address the needs of people with serious mental illness. They’re called Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Courts.

• A new law that makes it easier to force certain people with serious mental illnesses into involuntary treatment. It amended the definition of “grave disability” originally laid out in the landmark 1967 Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, which limited involuntary confinement in the interest of protecting the civil rights of people with mental illnesses.

• In addition, his administration is also overseeing the implementation of a statewide effort that promises to expand and streamline access to mental health care for people insured by Medi-Cal, the public insurance program for low-income Californians. It’s called California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM).

Expecting better outcomes

Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman, a Stockton Democrat who has carried legislation to enact Newsom’s mental health programs, said the stream of recent policy changes will eventually lead to changing outcomes – but not yet.

“Policywise, the landscape is shifting dramatically,” she said. “It will take a few years for practice to catch up.”

She emphasizes that Prop. 1 has a lot of transparency and accountability measures attached, to ensure that the measure leads to concrete change.

But Newsom’s critics worry that many of his big initiatives – including Prop. 1, CARE Court and the broadened definition of grave disability – reflect an effort to move the state toward more forced treatment.

“It’s all in preparation of hiding the homeless instead of helping them,” said Paul Simmons, executive director of Californians Against Prop. 1. “It will still be a bridge to nowhere, pushing people into a system that can’t even handle what we have now.”

Questions about Prop. 1

Alex Barnard, a New York University professor who has written extensively about California’s mental health system, called fears of returning to mass reinstitutionalization “a little bit overstated.” But, he said the state is indeed moving toward a more paternalistic and institutional approach toward treating the most seriously mentally ill.

The passage of Prop. 1 will help the administration to fully implement both CARE Court and the recent law expanding the definition of grave disability. But it also raises some thorny issues, he said.

One of these: What type of treatment beds will the state purchase with the bond money and where?

Another: How will county systems deal with the money they stand to lose for mental health services?

A state facing a massive deficit is not coming to the rescue, he said.

And then, there’s the question of just how transformative this latest influx of money will prove to be for actual Californians.

“The status quo has been remarkably enduring even in the face of a lot of attempts at reform,” he said. “The system has had an incredible amount of inertia.”

CalMatters reporter Jeanne Kuang contributed to this story.

Gov. Gavin Newsom made mental health a priority since he took office five years ago. The ballot initiative voters approved this week will provide billions of dollars to fund housing and treatment facilities for mentally ill Californians.

California voters in the March 2024 election narrowly passed Proposition 1, a proposal to fund new construction of housing and treatment facilities for people with serious mental health illnesses. Gov. Gavin Newsom championed the measure and called it critical in addressing the state's homelessness crisis.

HISTORIC AGREEMENT TO RETURN REDWOODS LAND TO YUROK TRIBE

Plans to open a new gateway to Redwoods State and National Parks got a big boost Tuesday March 19, paving the way for a key parcel of land to be returned to the Yurok Tribe.

The place is called 'O Rew in the Yurok language, on Highway 101, about 40 miles north of Eureka, at a former lumber mill site in Orick.

Joseph James, chairman of the Yurok Tribe, said this is a model for the "land-back" movement.

"We are able to share our culture, our knowledge as Indigenous people, first people, keepers of the land," James explained. "It's not driven by western society providing interpretation. It's being driven by Yuroks."

The nonprofit Save the Redwoods League bought the 125-acre property 13 years ago and has been restoring the mill site and nearby Prairie Creek alongside the tribe and the nonprofit California Trout. The area is closed for construction now, but will reopen in 2026 as the 'O Rew Redwoods Gateway with new trails, cultural signage and visitor facilities.

Steve Mietz, superintendent of Redwoods National and State Parks for the National Park Service, said it is the first-ever co-management agreement for tribally-owned land with the National Park Service and California State Parks.

"This is just a recognition of their sovereignty," Mietz pointed out. "Their need to regain land that was taken from them years ago and turning it back, and creating greater understanding about the original people in this area."

In future years, the Yurok Tribe plans to build a full visitor center, including re-creating a tribal village with plank houses and a sweat lodge.

ACUERDO HISTÓRICO PARA DEVOLVER LA TIERRA DE REDWOODS A LA TRIBU YUROK

Los planes para abrir una nueva entrada a los parques estatales y nacionales de Redwoods recibieron un gran impulso el martes 19 de marzo, allanando el camino para que una parcela de tierra clave sea devuelta a la tribu Yurok.

El lugar se llama 'O Rew en el idioma Yurok, en la autopista 101, a unas 40 millas al norte de Eureka, en un antiguo aserradero en Orick.

Joseph James, presidente de la tribu Yurok, dijo que este es un modelo para el movimiento de "devolución de tierras".

La organización sin fines de lucro Save the Redwoods League compró la propiedad de 125 acres hace 13 años y ha estado restaurando el sitio del molino y el cercano Prairie Creek junto con la tribu y la organización sin fines de lucro California Trout. El área está cerrada por construcción ahora, pero reabrirá en 2026 como 'O Rew Redwoods Gateway con nuevos senderos, señalización cultural e instalaciones para visitantes.

Steve Mietz, superintendente de los Parques Nacionales y Estatales de Redwoods para el Servicio de Parques Nacionales, dijo que es el primer acuerdo de cogestión de tierras de propiedad tribal con el Servicio de Parques Nacionales y los Parques Estatales de California.

"Esto es sólo un reconocimiento de su soberanía", señaló Mietz. "Su necesidad de recuperar la tierra que les fue arrebatada hace años y devolverla, y crear una mayor comprensión sobre los pueblos originales de esta zona".

En los próximos años, la tribu Yurok planea construir un centro de visitantes completo, incluida la recreación de una aldea tribal con casas de tablones y una cabaña para sudar.

FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT TEMPORARILY BLOCKS NEW TEXAS BILL WHICH WOULD ARREST MIGRANTS AT THE BORDER

The ACLU has said that SB 4 is “one of the most extreme anti-immigrant laws ever passed by any state legislature.”

Ethnic Media Services

Hours after the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to allow Texas border patrol to immediately deport migrants and asylum seekers arriving on the border, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals March 19 issued an order blocking the law’s immediate implementation.

The Fifth Circuit is expected to hear arguments March 20 challenging the constitutionality of SB 4. The bill allows police to question and arrest anyone they believe entered Texas through Mexico illegally and is currently without legal immigration status. The White House says SB 4 is unconstitutional, and encroaches on the federal government’s sole authority over immigration.

Critics say the bill could also lead to racial profiling, and — in the extreme — possible deportations of legal migrants who don’t have their immigration papers with them when detained. SB 4 has been dubbed by critics as the “show me your papers” bill.

‘Xenophobic’

“This is an appallingly cruel and clearly unconstitutional law,” tweeted Rep. Pramila Jayapal. “This legislation will not only create chaos, confusion, and disorder in the immigration system — it will lead to racial profiling of immigrant and minority communities, stoking fear in communities across Texas,” she said.

“SB4 turns immigration enforcement on its head, requiring local police to carry out federal immigration functions. It undercuts the trust local police need to help ensure safer communities,” tweeted Jayapal, calling the bill “xenophobic.” She noted that the bill has been opposed by several Texas law enforcement agencies and mayors.

Anti-Immigrant

David Donatti, Senior Attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, told CBS News in Austin, Texas that the law now has some people of color asking themselves, “do I look like an American? I feel I belong here, but do I look like I belong here to other people?”

The ACLU has said that SB 4 is “one of the most extreme anti-immigrant laws ever passed by any state legislature.”

TRIBUNAL DEL QUINTO CIRCUITO BLOQUEA TEMPORALMENTE NUEVO PROYECTO DE LEY DE TEXAS QUE ARRESTARÍA INMIGRANTES EN LA FRONTERA

La ACLU ha dicho que la SB 4 es “una de las leyes antiinmigrantes más extremas jamás aprobada por una legislatura estatal”.

Immigrant advocates have urged Texas residents who are detained or arrested on suspicion of being undocumented to refuse a search. They should also refuse to identify themselves unless they are the driver, and ask for an attorney. Immigration groups have suggested that all people of color in Texas carry proof of their legal residency with them at all times.

Horas

después de que la Corte Suprema votara 6-3 para permitir que la patrulla fronteriza de Texas deportara inmediatamente a los migrantes y solicitantes de asilo que llegaran a la frontera, el Tribunal de Apelaciones del Quinto Circuito emitió el 19 de marzo una orden bloqueando la implementación inmediata de la ley.

Se espera que el Quinto Circuito escuche los argumentos el 20 de marzo que cuestionan la constitucionalidad de la SB 4. El proyecto de ley permite a la policía interrogar y arrestar a cualquier persona que crean que ingresó ilegalmente a Texas a través de México y que actualmente no tiene estatus migratorio legal. La Casa Blanca dice que la SB 4 es inconstitucional e invade la autoridad exclusiva del gobierno federal en materia de inmigración.

Los críticos dicen que el proyecto de ley también podría conducir a la discriminación racial y, en casos extremos, a posibles deportaciones de inmigrantes legales que no traen consigo sus documentos de inmigración cuando son detenidos. La SB 4 ha sido apodada por los críticos como el proyecto de ley “muéstrame tus papeles”.

‘Xenófobo’

"Esta es una ley terriblemente cruel y claramente inconstitucional", tuiteó la representante Pramila Jayapal. “Esta legislación no sólo creará caos, confusión y desorden en el sistema de inmigración, sino que conducirá a la discriminación racial de las comunidades de inmigrantes y minorías, avivando el miedo en las comunidades de todo Texas”, dijo.

“La SB4 pone patas arriba la aplicación de la ley de inmigración, exigiendo que la policía local lleve a cabo funciones federales de inmigración. Socava la confianza que la policía local necesita para ayudar a garantizar comunidades más seguras”, tuiteó Jayapal, calificando el proyecto de ley de “xenófobo”. Señaló que varias agencias policiales y alcaldes de Texas se han opuesto al proyecto de ley.

Antiinmigrantes

David Donatti, abogado principal de la American Civil Liberties Union, dijo a CBS News en Austin, Texas, que la ley ahora hace que algunas personas de color se pregunten: “¿Parezco estadounidense? Siento que pertenezco aquí, pero ¿acaso les parezco local a los demás?

La ACLU ha dicho que la SB 4 es “una de las leyes antiinmigrantes más extremas jamás aprobada por una legislatura estatal”.

Immigrant advocates have urged Texas residents who are detained or arrested on suspicion of being undocumented to refuse a search. They should also refuse to identify themselves unless they are the driver, and ask for an attorney. Immigration groups have suggested that all people of color in Texas carry proof of their legal residency with them at all times.

Los defensores de los inmigrantes han instado a los residentes de Texas que son detenidos o arrestados bajo sospecha de ser indocumentados a negarse a ser registrados. También deben negarse a identificarse a menos que estén conduciendo y solicitar un abogado. Los grupos de inmigración han sugerido que todas las personas de color en Texas lleven consigo prueba de su residencia legal en todo momento.
