Of a total of 599,636 infections with accurate racial or ethnic information, 33% of those infected were Latinos or Latinos of any racial origin, despite representing 18% of the United States population.

as nuevas cifras dadas a conocer por los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) sobre el avance de la epidemia del COVID-19 deben ser una llamada de alerta a nivel nacional sobre la crisis de salud que está golpeando en estos momentos a las comunidades latinas, afroamericanas y nativas dentro de los Estados Unidos. Aunque ya sabíamos que las comunidades minoritarias estabamos siendo impactadas desproporcionalmente por los contagios, los nuevos datos sugieren que el impacto no sólo es más profundo, sino que amenaza con empeorar la crisis sanitaria y convertirse en un problema crónico de salud pública para las comunidades de color del país. De un total de 599,636 contagios con información racial o étnica precisa, un 33% de los contagiados eran latinas o latinos de cualquier origen racial, a pesar de que representamos el 18% de la población de Estados Unidos. El caso de los afroamericanos, la proporción fue del 22%, aún cuando constituyen el 13% de la población. Aunque los CDC reconocieron que la proporción de datos faltantes sobre raza y etnicidad limitan las conclusiones, las cifras son consistentes con un análisis de la Red de Vigilancia de Hospitalizaciones Asociadas (COVID-Net), la cual encontró más altas proporciones de afroamericanos e hispanos entre los pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19 en relación con la población completa Los hispanos somos hospitalizados en proporción de cuatro a uno en comparación con los blancos no hispanos, los afroamericanos en proporción de 4.5 y los nativos en proporción de cinco a uno.

T
he new figures released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the advance of the COVID-19 epidemic should be a wake-up call at the national level about the health crisis that is currently hitting Latino, African American, and Native communities within the United States. Although we already knew that minority communities were being disproportionately impacted by the infections, the new data suggests that the impact is not only deeper, but threatens to worsen the health crisis and become a chronic public health problem for communities of color in this country.
Although the CDC recognized that the proportion of missing data on race and ethnicity limits the conclusions, the figures are consistent with an analysis by the Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-Net), which found higher proportions of AfricanAmericans and Hispanics among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 relative to the entire population Hispanics are hospitalized at a ratio of four to one compared to non-Hispanic whites, African Americans at a ratio of 4.5, and natives at a ratio of five to one. The racial and ethnic photography of COVID-19 infections in the United States is completed by 36% among the nonHispanic white population, 4% among the Asian population and 1.3% among the Native Americans and Alaska Natives, the latter also even more so disproportionately since they represent 0.7% of the US population. Although the incidence of COVID-19 was practically similar between men and women, the most serious cases were reported among men. Similarly, people over 70 years of age, regardless of the underlying conditions, had the highest level of hospitalizations, admissions to intensive care units and fatal outcomes.
La fotografía racial y étnica de los contagios del COVID-19 los Estados Unidos la completan un 36% entre la población blanca no-hispana, 4% entre la asiática y de 1.3% entre los nativos americanos y de Alaska, éstos últimos también aceptados desproporcional mente toda vez que representan el 0.7% de la población estadounidense.
Revealing statistics from the CDC show that people with serious underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease or chronic lung disease, liver or kidney disease, or compromised immune systems, were hospitalized at a rate six times higher than healthy people, and that the probability of death was 12 times higher than in people without such conditions.
Aunque la incidencia del COVID-19 fue prácticamente similar entre hombres y mujeres, los casos más graves fueron reportados entre varones. De la misma forma las personas mayores de 70 años de edad, independientemente de los padecimientos subyacentes, tuvieron el más alto nivel de hospitalizaciones, admisiones a unidades de cuidados intensivos y desenlaces fatales
The lack of medical access, the income gap, the type of employment, transportation and even the postal area of their home have been and continue to be social determinants of health that have aggravated the medical condition of racial and ethnic minorities plagued by chronic diseases such as obesity, asthma and hypertension.
Las reveladoras estadísticas de los CDC muestran que las personas con condiciones médicas subyacentes serias, tal como diabetes, enfermedad cardiaca o enfermedad pulmonar crónica, enfermedad hepática o renal, o sistemas inmunológicos comprometidos, fueron hospitalizados en proporción seis veces más alta que personas sanas, y que la probabilidad de muerte fue 12 veces más alta que en personas sin tales padecimientos.
It is true that no segment of the population has remained or is safe from a possible contagion by COVID-19. But for Hispanic, African American, and Native communities this is a perfect storm that requires urgent intervention, from a health and public communication perspective on access to health options and resources, and timely and culturally relevant information on how to stay healthy and safe.

MPERIAL BEACH, Calif. -- The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way families, educators and students can experience state parks -- through expanded online programs. The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, on the U.S.-Mexican border south of San Diego, showcases the salt marsh where the Tijuana River meets the Pacific Ocean. Education coordinator Anne Marie Tipton says the reserve's virtual field trips teach classrooms around the state about the estuary's role in the environment.

os Ángeles - Si bien los parques temáticos más populares de los Estados Unidos, incluido Disneyland, han anunciado su reapertura, uno de los festivales de música más grandes del mundo, Coachella, ha cancelado su edición 2020 debido a los temores de contagio en medio de la epidemia de coronavirus.
"At this time, there will also be a temporary pause on new ticket sales and Annual Passport sales and renewals," it added. Experiences that attract large crowds – including parades and nighttime spectaculars – will also be resumed at a later date, according to the company.
El parque Disneyland original y el nuevo Disney California Adventure abrirán el 17 de julio después de estar cerrados durante casi cuatro meses debido a la epidemia de coronavirus, anunció la compañía el miércoles. Este es el cierre más largo en la historia del primer parque Disney en Anaheim, California, que desde su apertura solo había suspendido sus operaciones tres veces: durante los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2011, la mañana en que el presidente John F. Kennedy fue asesinado en 1963, y durante el terremoto de Northridge en 1994. "Sesenta y cinco años después de la histórica apertura del parque Disneyland, estamos planeando abrir nuestras puertas del parque temático una vez más el 17 de julio de 2020, dando la bienvenida a los huéspedes al Disneyland Resort", dijo la compañía en su sitio web. Según el comunicado, la fecha propuesta aún está pendiente de aprobación por parte de los gobiernos locales y estatales. Disney planea abrir los hoteles un poco más tarde, a partir del 23 de julio. El anuncio se produce después de que se revelara que los parques de Disney en Florida también abrirían en julio, más tarde que su principal competidor, Universal Studios, que abrió la semana pasada a pesar de que las infecciones por COVID-19 continúan aumentando en el estado. Los casos de COVID-19 también han ido en aumento en California, donde las autoridades comenzaron a levantar las medidas de bloqueo para reiniciar la economía. Disney dijo que el parque se volverá a abrir "con mejores medidas de salud y seguridad", sin especificar cuáles serían, pero dejó en claro que la capacidad del parque temático será "significativamente limitada" y requerirá que los huéspedes hagan reservas con anticipación. "En este momento, también habrá una pausa temporal en la venta de boletos nuevos y en las ventas y renovaciones de pasaportes anuales", agregó. Las experiencias que atraen a grandes multitudes, incluidos desfiles y espectáculos nocturnos, también se reanudarán en una fecha posterior, según la compañía.

En los parques temáticos de Universal en Orlando, Florida, los visitantes deben someterse a controles de temperatura y obligados a mantener un distanciamiento social seguro. A pesar de las medidas de seguridad, Universal advierte que no puede garantizar que los visitantes no estén expuestos al virus y recomienda que la población en riesgo, incluidos los ancianos y las personas con afecciones médicas subyacentes graves ", evalúen su riesgo para determinar si asistirán ". Mientras tanto, Coachella, uno de los festivales de música más grandes del mundo, ha sido cancelado. Coachella estaba originalmente programada para abril, pero se pospuso hasta octubre debido a la pandemia. Las autoridades del condado de Riverside de California anun-
ciaron la cancelación del festival el miércoles, argumentando que la crisis del coronavirus hizo que la celebración de tales eventos que reunió a miles de personas sea imposible por el momento. "Me preocupa que crezcan las indicaciones de que COVID-19 podría empeorar en el otoño", dijo el Dr. Cameron Kaiser, funcionario de salud pública del condado de Riverside. Las autoridades también confirmaron que el festival de música country Stagecoach, que se realiza en el mismo sitio que Coachella una semana después, tampoco se llevará a cabo este año. Coachella, que celebró su vigésimo aniversario en 2019, encabezará este año Rage Against the Machine, Frank Ocean y Travis Scott. También se presentó a Calvin Harris, Run the Jewels, Brockhampton, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Charli XCX, Flume, Thom Yorke, Disclosure, 21 Savage, Caribou, Carly Rae Jepsen, Hot Chip, Floating Points, Lana del Rey, FKA Twigs, Fatboy Slim y Lil Nas X.

os Angeles - While United States’ most popular theme parks, including Disneyland, have announced their reopenings, one of the world’s largest music festivals, Coachella, has called off its 2020 edition due to fears of contagion amid the coronavirus epidemic. The original Disneyland Park and the new Disney California Adventure will open on July 17 after being closed for nearly four months due to the coronavirus epidemic, the company announced on Wednesday. This is the longest closure in the history of the first Disney park in Anaheim, California, which since its opening had only suspended its operations three times – during the Sep. 11, 2011 terror attacks, the morning President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and during the Northridge earthquake in 1994.
"Sixty-five years to the date after the historic opening of Disneyland Park, we are planning to open our theme park gates once again on July 17, 2020, welcoming guests back to the Disneyland Resort," the company said on its website. According to the statement, the proposed date is still pending approval by local and state governments. Disney plans to open the hotels a little later, starting July 23. The announcement comes after it was revealed that Disney parks in Florida would also open in July, later than its main competitor, Universal Studios, which opened last week despite COVID-19 infections continuing to rise in the state. COVID-19 cases have also been on the rise in California, where authorities began lifting lockdown measures in order to restart the economy. Disney said the park will be reopened "with enhanced health
At the Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida, visitors are required to undergo temperature checks and forced to maintain a safe social distancing. Despite the safety measures, Universal warns that it cannot guarantee that visitors will not be exposed to the virus and recommends that the at-risk population, including the elderly and people with serious underlying medical conditions, "should evaluate their risk in determining whether to attend." Meanwhile, Coachella, one of the largest music festivals in the world, has been canceled. Coachella was originally scheduled for April but was postponed to October due to the pandemic. The authorities of California's Riverside County announced the cancellation of the festival on Wednesday, arguing that the coronavirus crisis made the holding of such events that brought together thousands of people impossible for the time being. "I am concerned as indications grow that COVID-19 could worsen in the fall,” Riverside County public health officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser said. The authorities also confirmed that the Stagecoach country music festival, which takes place at the same site as Coachella a week later, will also not be held this year. Coachella, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019, was set to be headlined by Rage Against the Machine, Frank Ocean, and Travis Scott this year. Also set to feature were Calvin Harris, Run the Jewels, Brockhampton, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Charli XCX, Flume, Thom Yorke, Disclosure, 21 Savage, Caribou, Carly Rae Jepsen, Hot Chip, Floating Points, Lana del Rey, FKA Twigs, Fatboy Slim and Lil Nas X.

LA HISTORIA DE JOSÉ Y LOS SUEÑOS DEL FARAÓN

Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador
no de los relatos más antiguos en el que se tiene en referencia a los sueños, lo encontramos en la Biblia, en el capítulo 40 del Génesis, en el que se relata la historia de José descendiente de Isaac, quien fue traicionado, vendido y abandonado por sus hermanos en Egipto. Y después de trances, dificultades y constantes peligros, terminó preso debido a una calumnia. Durante su estancia en aquel calabozo, José se había bien ganado la reputación de ser un interprete de sueños. Sucedió una mañana en la que dos prisioneros se le acercaron y comenzaron a relatarle lo que habían visto en sus sueños la noche anterior; ambos estaban en la cárcel debido a una ordenanza del mismo Faraón. Uno de ellos soñó con tres ramitas que brotaban flores, frondosas uvas, una copa y que nuevamente servía la mesa del faraón, entonces José descifró el sueño como una buena nueva que presagiaba su pronta liberación y restauración a su antiguo puesto en el lapso de tres días. El segundo había soñado con tres canastas repletas de panes, frutos y exquisiteces de las cuales degustaba el Faraón, de pronto observó unas aves que comían de aquel festín sobre su misma cabeza y de aquella escena solamente el Faraón, era testigo. El mensaje onírico para el panadero no era tan benévolo como lo fue para el servidor de copas, en realidad fue funesto porque José le pronosticó que en tres días sería colgado. Después de las interpretaciones de José, a ambos reclusos solamente les quedaba esperar. Sucedió pues que al tercer día se celebraba el onomástico del Faraón y justo como José lo había pronosticado, así fue el destino del servidor de copas y del panadero. Dos años más tarde José, continuaba descifrando visiones nocturnas y repartiendo buenas nuevas en el calabozo, hasta que un buen día retornó el servidor de copas, le sacó de la prisión por orden explícita del Faraón, y lo presentó ante su majestad como << el profeta de los sueños>> En aquellas fechas el faraón había tenido sue-
ños que le inquietaban en demasía, los interpretes del saber onírico y magos de su séquito, no tenían respuestas ni podían descifrar los sueños de su amo, el servidor de copas por su parte había presentado a José ante el Faraón, como un interprete de sueños, favorecido por el poder del Dios de los hebreos. Al presentarse José ante el Faraón, éste le miró fijamente a los ojos y comenzó a relatarle dos sueños. En el primero de los sueños, el Faraón, observó siete vacas robustas y hermosas que ascendían en la rivera del Río Nilo, de pronto aparecían otras siete vacas de aspecto deplorable; flacas y enfermas, y sucedió que las vacas flacas comenzaron a devorar a las vacas gordas, pero aun así conservaron su lóbrega apariencia. En el segundo sueño había contemplado siete espigas frondosas y doradas por el resplandor del sol, de pronto observó otras siete espigas muy secas que comenzaban a crecer y devoraban a las espigas frondosas. Al concluir el Faraón su relato, casi de inmediato José, se dispuso a descifrar el mensaje de los sueños. “Vienen en camino siete años de gran abundancia, riqueza como en sus tiempos más gloriosos han de cubrir a todo Egipto, pero inmediatamente llegarán siete años de gran escasez y hambruna, la riqueza que un día ha de conocer la región será borrada por aquella tremenda carestía que ha de sufrir todo tu pueblo". José era muy joven en aquel entonces, aun así se mostró dispuesto a dar consejos al Faraón. Le recomendó que durante esos siete años maravillosos, se guardara la quinta parte de todos los granos, cereales y víveres, que se nombrara a un hombre discreto y de gran sapiencia para que se encargara de aquella magistral obra. De modo pues que el Faraón, decidió nombrarlo a él mismo como el hombre en quien se depositaban los destinos de los habitantes de Egipto. “El pueblo te obedecerá José y tú gobernarás en Egipto, solamente en el trono estaré yo más arriba que tú". Palabras textuales del Faraón. José realizó un trabajo extraordinario durante los siete años de abundancia, justo cuando éstos acabaron, una gran carestía y miseria se hizo presente no solamente en Egipto, sino en toda la región del Mar Mediterráneo.

SENTENCIA DE LA CORTE SUPREMA ES UNA GRAN VICTORIA DE LOS DERECHOS LGBT

Andrea Sears Public News Service
Los jueces disidentes, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito y Brett Kavanaugh, sostuvieron que el Título 7 solo se aplica a la discriminación basada en el género, no en la orientación sexual o la identidad de género.
EW YORK -- The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers are protected from employment discrimination by federal law. Monday's 6-3 ruling found that firing an employee for being gay or transgender violates Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. According to Omar Gonzalez-Pagan, senior attorney with Lambda Legal, the decision, written by conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, illustrates how the plain meaning of the law which bans discrimination based on sex clearly includes discrimination based on sexual orientation or transgender status. "It is really one that is faithful to the text, a roadmap that we laid out for the courts over the years, and we're ecstatic at this decision," Gonzalez-Pagan said. The dissenting justices, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh, held that Title 7 only applies to discrimination based on gender, not sexual orientation or gender identity. Gonzalez-Pagan said the ruling will have implications for how other laws are interpreted. That includes last Friday's announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services that it will reverse a rule prohibiting discrimination against transgender people in health care. "We have the backup of the Supreme Court for our argument that that rule is not rooted in the law," he said. "And now it will be that much easier for us to get that rule overturned."
González-Pagán dijo que el fallo tendrá implicaciones sobre cómo se interpretan otras leyes. Eso incluye el anuncio del viernes pasado del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de que revertirá una regla que prohíbe la discriminación contra las personas transgénero en la atención médica. The Supreme Court ruled that firing a person for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender is discrimination based on sex. Photo Credit: Unsplash/Steve Johnson Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union have announced they will be challenging the new HHS rule in court as soon as it is published, which is scheduled for this Friday. Gonzalez-Pagan noted two of the plaintiffs in the lawsuits covered by the Supreme Court ruling - Donald Zarda, a gay man fired from a skydiving school, and Aimee Stephens, a transgender woman fired from a funeral home - died before Monday's ruling was handed down. "Justice delayed is justice denied," he said. "But at least today their sacrifice will help protect many, many, many, many people from discrimination moving forward." The Trump administration had sided with the employers in the court cases.

UEVA YORK - La Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos dictaminó que las leyes federales protegen a las trabajadoras lesbianas, gais, bisexuales y transgénero de la discriminación laboral. El fallo del lunes 6-3 determinó que despedir a un empleado por ser gay o transgénero viola el Título 7 de la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1964. Según Omar González-Pagán, abogado principal de Lambda Legal, la decisión, escrita por el juez conservador Neil Gorsuch, ilustra cómo el significado claro de la ley que prohíbe la discriminación basada en el sexo incluye claramente la discriminación basada en la orientación sexual o el estado transgénero. "Realmente es fiel al texto, una hoja de ruta que presentamos a los tribunales a lo largo de los años, y estamos encantados con esta decisión", dijo González-Pagán.
"Tenemos el respaldo de la Corte Suprema para nuestro argumento de que esa regla no está arraigada en la ley", dijo. "Y ahora será mucho más fácil para nosotros anular esa regla". Lambda Legal y la Unión Estadounidense de Libertades Civiles han anunciado que desafiarán la nueva regla del HHS en la corte tan pronto como se publique, que está programada para este viernes. González-Pagán señaló que dos de los demandantes en las demandas cubiertas por el fallo de la Corte Suprema: Donald Zarda, un hombre gay despedido de una escuela de paracaidismo, y Aimee Stephens, una mujer transgénero despedida de una funeraria, murieron antes de que se dictara la decisión del lunes. "La justicia retrasada es justicia denegada", dijo. "Pero al menos hoy su sacrificio ayudará a proteger a muchas, muchas, muchas, muchas personas de la discriminación en el futuro". La administración Trump se había puesto del lado de los empleadores en los casos judiciales.

AN FRANCISCO -- LGBTQ+ groups are celebrating, as the decades-long struggle for equal rights in the workplace won a huge victory at the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court justices ruled 6-3 Monday that people cannot be fired on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Samuel Garrett-Pate, communications director with Equality California, said the Golden State already has strong protections - but this decision will benefit millions in dozens of other states. "In more than half of states, there are no state-level protections," Garrett-Pate said. "So what this says is, indeed federal law protects those employees from discrimination based on the fact that they are LGBTQ+, regardless of what the state law says." Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, argued that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does apply to LGBTQ people. Justice Samuel Alito, in his dissent, accused the court of legislating from the bench and argued that the original intent of the law was to cover bias against women or men, not to curb discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Garrett-Pate said the ruling is a stunning rebuke to the Trump administration, which just on Friday declared anti-discrimination rules in the Affordable Care Act do not apply to LGBTQ+ patients. "So just a few days after the Trump administration tries to say that no, discrimination on the basis of sex is not the same as discrimination on the basis of the sexual orientation or gender identity, the Supreme Court says actually it is," Garrett-Pate said. Advocates are calling for passage of the Equality Act, which would make it illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people in all areas of life, including housing, educa-
tion and public accommodations. The bill passed the House of Representatives more than a year ago but is opposed by President Donald Trump and remains stalled in the Senate.

AN FRANCISCO - Los grupos LGBTQ + están celebrando, ya que la lucha de décadas por la igualdad de derechos
en el lugar de trabajo obtuvo una gran victoria en la Corte Suprema de los EE. UU. Los jueces de los tribunales superiores dictaminaron 6-3 el lunes que las personas no pueden ser despedidas por su orientación sexual o identidad de género. Samuel Garrett-Pate, director de comunicaciones de Equality California, dijo que Golden State ya tiene fuertes protecciones, pero esta decisión beneficiará a millones en docenas de otros estados. "En más de la mitad de los estados, no hay protecciones a nivel estatal", dijo Garrett-Pate. "Entonces, lo que esto dice es que, de hecho, la ley federal protege a esos empleados de la discriminación basada en el hecho de que son LGBTQ +, independientemente de lo que diga la ley estatal". El juez Neil Gorsuch, escribiendo para la mayoría, argumentó que la Ley de Derechos Civiles de 1964 se aplica a las personas LGBTQ. El juez Samuel Alito, en su disidencia, acusó al tribunal de legislar desde la banca y argumentó que la intención original de la ley era cubrir los prejuicios contra mujeres u hombres, no frenar la discriminación por motivos de orientación sexual o identidad de género. Garrett-Pate dijo que el fallo es una sorprendente reprimenda a la administración Trump, que el viernes declaró que las reglas contra la discriminación en la Ley del Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio no se aplican a los pacientes LGBTQ +. "Tan solo unos días después de que la administración Trump trata de decir que no, la discriminación basada en el sexo no es lo mismo que la discriminación basada en la orientación sexual o la identidad de género, la Corte Suprema dice que sí", Garrett- Dijo Paté. Los defensores piden la aprobación de la Ley de Igualdad, que haría ilegal discriminar a las personas LGBTQ + en todas las áreas de la vida, incluidas la vivienda, la educación y el alojamiento público. El proyecto de ley fue aprobado por la Cámara de Representantes hace más de un año, pero el presidente Donald Trump se opone y sigue estancado en el Senado.

OISE, Idaho -- Far-right militia groups in the Northwest are exploiting fears about COVID-19 and civil unrest to recruit members.
El fin de semana pasado, políticos y grupos realizaron una concentración en Coeur d'Alene, con miembros de la milicia haciendo guardia. Los oradores dijeron que el gobierno había sobrepasado sus límites con el cierre para frenar la propagación del coronavirus.
Amy Herzfeld-Copple is deputy director of programs and strategic initiatives with the Western States Center, a civil rights group that follows farright organizations. She said conspiracy theorists and anti-government and white-nationalist figures see the coronavirus as an opportunity to mobilize their supporters. "These are dangerous conditions, and it plays into far-right ideology and fears, which tend to center on perceived government overreach, infiltration by outsiders and a constant threat of societal collapse and the need to stockpile supplies," Herzfeld-Copple said. Last weekend, politicians and groups held a rally in Coeur d'Alene, with militia members standing guard. Speakers said the government had overstepped its bounds with the shutdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Idaho militias such as The Real 3%ers (Three Percenters) have aided in potato drives during the pandemic and joined adopt-a-highway programs in the past few years. Herzfeld-Copple said this is a tactic to gain mainstream support for groups that have historical roots in racist movements. "They see COVID and the government's response as an organizing opportunity," she said. "They're doing their best to leverage fear and uncertainty in many communities to broaden their political power

During protests over police brutality and racism over the past few weeks, armed militia members have stood outside of businesses across the Northwest, saying they are offering protection. HerzfeldCopple said like the pandemic, the groups have used the protests to recruit more members. "We're especially concerned by the presence of armed vigilantes in communities across the region and the chilling effect that has on democratic participation," she said. With their history of attracting white nationalists and xenophobic members, Herzfeld-Copple said these groups' armed presence in towns threatens the goal of an inclusive democracy.

A veces debemos hacer más. Esta vez, mucho más. La urgencia por un futuro mejor a veces nos obliga a actuar. Vivimos un momento en el que una pandemia global, un clamor por justicia racial y un sentimiento de desesperación desafían a cada comunidad. Ante esta situación, Bank of America se ha comprometido a invertir $1 mil millones durante los próximos cuatro años para seguir adelante con nuestra larga trayectoria de impulsar la oportunidad económica y la igualdad en comunidades minoritarias. Estos fondos servirán para activar las pequeñas empresas, ayudar a conectar a los empleados con nuevas habilidades y oportunidades de trabajo, mejorar la capacidad de respuesta médica y el acceso a cuidados de salud, así como apoyar la vivienda a costo razonable. Esto reafirma nuestro compromiso reciente de destinar $100 millones adicionales para apoyar a socios de organizaciones sin fines de lucro y $250 millones para apoyar a instituciones financieras de desarrollo comunitario e instituciones de depósitos para minorías, haciendo frente al impacto del coronavirus que ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las comunidades afroamericanas y latinas. Mis compañeros y yo aquí en el Área de la Bahía, nos comprometemos con la importante labor que todos afrontamos.

EARTHTALK Q&A: AVOCADO HABITS & CARBON FOOTPRINT
EARTHTALK Q&A: AGUACATES Y HUELLA DE CARBONO
Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that my avocado habit is bad for the environment and my carbon footprint? -- J. Pilsen, Olathe, KS
Querido EarthTalk: ¿Es cierto que mi hábito de aguacate es malo para el medio ambiente y mi huella de carbono? - J. Pilsen, Olathe, KS

ompared to other fruits and vegetables that are grown closer to home, eating avocados—most of which are flown in from Central America—can be a drag on your carbon footprint. Furthermore, they require a lot of water, fertilizers and pesticides to grow, further complicating this seemingly “green” superfood. Avocado’s environmental impacts come from the “energy, water, fertilizer and pesticides required to grow them, the resources used for packaging materials and the energy used in processing, transporting and keeping them cool to preserve their freshness,” Tom Cumberlege of Carbon Trust tells Vice.com, also pointing out that some of the biggest markets for avocados are in the UK, northern Europe and Canada.” Despite that avocados can now be grown around the world, the majority of them (upwards of two metric tons annually) come from Mexico. “A Mexican avocado would have to travel 5,555 miles to reach the UK,” reports Honor May Eldridge of the nonprofit Sustainable Food Trust. “Given the distances, fruit is picked before it’s ripe and shipped in temperature-controlled storage, which is energy intensive.” Avocados also require an astonishing amount of water to grow, some 320 liters per fruit. “The UK’s imports of avocados contain over 25 million cubic meters annually of virtual water—equivalent to 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools,” reports Eldridge. “With global temperatures rising and water becoming scarce, this has serious impacts on local communities who do not have access to drinking water.” Furthermore, the global popularity of avocados in recent years has led to “monoculture” farms that grow only one crop over and over, degrading soil quickly and requir-
ing increasingly more chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Surging demand has also led to rampant deforestation, especially in areas like Mexico’s mountainous Michoacán. A researcher from Mexico’s National Institute for Forestry found that avocado production there tripled there from 20012010—causing the loss of some 1,700 acres of forest annually. Compared to meat, avocados are still a much better deal for the environment—and much less of a drag on your carbon footprint. Indeed, the Evening Standard reports that eating a kilo of lamb generates some 46 times the carbon emissions as the average pack of avocados. Enjoying a piece of farmed salmon will also increase your carbon footprint more than having some guacamole or avocado toast every now and again. As a consumer, the best thing you can do with an avocado is to “make sure that it doesn't go to waste,” says Cumberlege. “… avocados will not last days in the fridge after they have been prepared, so [they] should be enjoyed sooner rather than later.” CONTACTS: “Green Gold: Global Avocado Boom Destroying Mexico’s Forests,” https://sputniknews.com/ latam/201608121044220909-avocadomexico-destroy-forests; “This Is How Bad Your Avocado Obsession Is for the World,” https://www.vice.com/en_uk/ article/7xm8ab/this-is-how-bad-your-avocado-obsession-is-for-the-world; “How Much Water Does It Take To Grow An Avocado,” old.danwatch.dk/en/undersogelseskapitel/how-much-water-does-it-take-togrow-an-avocado.

n comparación con otras frutas y verduras que se cultivan más cerca de casa, comer aguacates, la mayoría de los cuales llegan desde América Central, puede ser un lastre para su huella de carbono. Además, requieren mucha agua, fertilizantes y pesticidas para crecer, lo que complica aún más este súper alimento aparentemente "verde".
Los impactos ambientales del aguacate provienen de la "energía, agua, fertilizantes y pesticidas necesarios para cultivarlos, los recursos utilizados para los materiales de embalaje y la energía utilizada en el procesamiento, transporte y mantenimiento de los mismos para preservar su frescura", dice Tom Cumberlege de Carbon Trust a Vice .com, también señala que algunos de los mercados más grandes para los aguacates se encuentran en el Reino Unido, el norte de Europa y Canadá ". A pesar de que los aguacates ahora se pueden cultivar en todo el mundo, la mayoría de ellos (más de dos toneladas métricas anuales) provienen de México. "Un aguacate mexicano tendría que viajar 5,555 millas para llegar al Reino Unido", informa Honor May Eldridge de la organización sin fines de lucro Sustainable Food Trust. "Dadas las distancias, la fruta se recolecta antes de madurar y se envía en un almacenamiento a temperatura controlada, que consume mucha energía". Los aguacates también requieren una cantidad asombrosa de agua para crecer, unos 320 litros por fruta. "Las importaciones de aguacate del Reino Unido contienen más de 25 millones de metros cúbicos anuales de agua virtual, lo que equivale a 10,000 piscinas olímpicas", informa Eldridge. "Con el aumento de las temperaturas globales y la escasez de agua, esto tiene serios impactos en las comunidades locales que no tienen acceso al agua potable". Además, la popularidad mundial de los
aguacates en los últimos años ha llevado a granjas de "monocultivo" que producen solo un cultivo una y otra vez, degradando el suelo rápidamente y requiriendo cada vez más fertilizantes y pesticidas químicos. La creciente demanda también ha provocado una deforestación desenfrenada, especialmente en áreas como el montañoso Michoacán de México. Un investigador del Instituto Nacional de Silvicultura de México descubrió que la producción de aguacate allí se triplicó desde 2001-2010, causando la pérdida de unos 1,700 acres de bosque anualmente. En comparación con la carne, los aguacates siguen siendo un trato mucho mejor para el medio ambiente, y mucho menos para su huella de carbono. De hecho, el Evening Standard informa que comer un kilo de cordero genera unas 46 veces las emisiones de carbono que el paquete promedio de aguacates. Disfrutar de un trozo de salmón de cultivo también aumentará su huella de carbono más que comer tostadas de guacamole o aguacate de vez en cuando. Como consumidor, lo mejor que puede hacer con un aguacate es "asegurarse de que no se desperdicie", dice Cumberlege. "... los aguacates no durarán días en el refrigerador después de que se hayan preparado, por lo que [deberían] disfrutarse más temprano que tarde".

ales Honeycomb. "A lo largo de su historia, Honeycomb ha sido un campeón de los pequeños pero grandes momentos para los niños. Esta donación hará realidad el sueño de tener una bicicleta para estos niños".
ara los niños, andar en bicicleta es una de las puertas de entrada para crecer. Películas populares y éxitos televisivos como "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" y "Stranger Things" resaltan la alegría que puede brindar una bicicleta como una forma divertida de explorar o pasar el tiempo paseando por el vecindario. Sin embargo, según un estudio de la Asociación de la Industria al aire libre, andar en bicicleta entre los niños disminuyó 19% entre 2007 y 2019.
Consejos de seguridad Los niños que salen en bicicleta deben seguir pautas básicas para proteger su salud y seguridad. Recuerde a su hijo o adolescente que: * Siempre use un casco, incluso para un viaje corto.
Con el clima cada vez más cálido, hay muchas buenas razones para que cualquiera salga a andar en bicicleta. Especialmente durante este tiempo de distanciamiento social, montar en bicicleta ofrece la oportunidad perfecta para sacudirse la fiebre de la cabina y disfrutar del aire fresco de manera segura. Beneficios de andar en bicicleta Para los preadolescentes y adolescentes en particular, hay muchos beneficios de poseer y andar en bicicleta, que incluyen: * Hace que los niños se alejen de las pantallas para disfrutar del aire fresco y la luz solar que brinda vitamina D. * Promueve la salud cardiovascular. * Fortalece los músculos, al tiempo que mejora el equilibrio y la coordinación. * Mejora la salud mental al ayudar a reducir la ansiedad o el estrés. * Es bueno para el medio ambiente, ya que ofrece un modo de transporte libre de emisiones. * Ayuda a desarrollar la autoconfianza y las relaciones con otras personas a quienes también les gusta andar en bicicleta.
* Sea visible usando ropa brillante y usando reflectores o luces para asegurarse de que otros puedan verlo, especialmente temprano en la mañana o al anochecer. * Use siempre protector solar para proteger la piel expuesta de los rayos UV. * Manténgase hidratado bebiendo muchos líquidos.

perimentar los muchos beneficios físicos y emocionales que trae una bicicleta.
Desafortunadamente, no todos los niños tienen la oportunidad de disfrutar los muchos aspectos positivos de andar en bicicleta. Los niños en cuidado de crianza, preadolescentes y adolescentes en particular, no siempre tienen acceso a una bicicleta, por lo que no pueden experimentar este importante hito del crecimiento.
Las bicicletas han sido parte de la historia de Honeycomb desde la década de 1970, incluidas en sus anuncios y promociones. Los niños que crecieron en los años 70 y 80 recuerdan con cariño que coleccionaban placas de matrícula estatales del tamaño de una bicicleta Honeycomb, que se entregaban gratis dentro de las cajas de cereales cada año. El último spot de "Honey Be Big" de Honeycomb presenta una bicicleta con un guiño nostálgico al pasado.
Para ayudar a abordar este problema, el cereal Honeycomb está donando $ 50,000 a Together We Rise, una organización nacional sin fines de lucro dedicada a ayudar a mejorar las vidas de los jóvenes en hogares de guarda. La donación proporcionará 600 bicicletas a preadolescentes y adolescentes en hogares de guarda en todo el país, ayudándoles a desarrollar su confianza y ex-

* Adhiérase a los senderos para bicicletas, si es posible, en lugar de andar en la calle. * Obedecer todas las leyes de tránsito. * Manténgase alerta mientras conduce. * No use auriculares ni auriculares que puedan impedirle oír el tráfico u otros peligros. * No use su teléfono o mensaje de texto mientras conduce: deténgase y salga del camino para usar cualquier dispositivo. Ahora es el momento perfecto para que sus hijos anden en bicicleta y consideren ayudar a los niños de crianza temporal a hacer lo mismo.

El Distrito de Aguas del Valle de Santa Clara (Valley Water) esta trabajando para ampliar el reservorio Pacheco, ubicado a 60 millas al sureste de San Jose. Este proyecto, uno de los más importantes de las últimas décadas, aumentaría la capacidad de Pacheco para proveer agua suficiente a 1.4 millones de personas durante un año. El proyecto reduciría la frecuencia y la gravedad de la escasez de agua durante las sequías, protegería nuestro suministro e infraestructura de agua potable y mejoraría el hábitat de los peces. Valley Water esta estudiando la posibilidad de incluir este importante proyecto bajo una potencial renovación del Programa de Agua Segura y Limpia, y Protección contra Inundaciones Naturales.

2020 CENSUS UPDATE: THE CENSUS IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR COMMUNITY "If we don't count, we lose"

ESPAÑOL so 2020?
Arturo Hilario El Observador
Sí, debido al COVID-19 el Censo suspendió todas sus operaciones, pero éstas se han reanudado el 1° de Junio – con la operación que ya había mencionado, dejando material informativo en las áreas rurales dónde no llegan los correos; Cabe aclarar que ésta operación es sin contacto.
he 2020 Census has been extended, and if you have not yet completed it, it is very important that you do so. The results will not only be used to help allocate funding to educational and community programs, but it is important that you count toward the next decade in this country.
En respuesta al COVID-19 se extendió el plazo oficial de la participación y se modificaron las fechas. En el plan original por ejemplo, las auto-respuestas hubieran sido aceptadas hasta el 31 de julio. Ahora la fecha límite fue extendida hasta el 31 de octubre, lo anterior incluye a los censistas que visitarán las casas de las cuales no se ha recibido respuesta.
Recently, Census spokeswoman for the U.S. Census Bureau Angelica Vásquez briefed us on the 2020 Census, who gave us promising figures on census responses in the Bay Area. Within Santa Clara County, 70% of the population has responded so far. In San José specifically, it is a little less than 70%. While still a fair amount of response from the population, more can be done. Everyone is encouraged to answer for a more accurate picture of communities and what they need in federal aid, from school lunch programs to health care and community aid for the elderly. Vasquez is still waiting and asking those who have not responded to do so, especially in the Hispanic community. For starters, could you give me a general update from when the 2020 Census began until now? Well, I tell you that the percentage of people who to date have completed the census in the country is 61%. In California, the response rate has been 62.5%. In the Bay Area there is more participation, for example, in San Mateo County, with 72%, and in Santa Clara County, it is 70%. However, in San Francisco County it is 59%. We are trying to get more responses, especially in areas [where] there is not much response, such as Pleasanton, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco. Why do you think that in places like those you mentioned there is not as strong of a response rate to the census? Well, right now the census is doing [an] operation where census staff are going to rural areas or no physical correspondence is coming in and they are leaving packages with census information for those people to fill out. Why? Because initially in March we were doing this operation, [and] we had to suspend it and those homes have not had the opportunity to fill it out or to know census information. So that's also a reason many counties in rural areas haven't reached or are in the same percentage as the San Mateo or Santa Clara area. So, one can still participate in the 2020 Census? Yes, due to COVID-19 the census suspended all its operations - but as of June 1 it began, with the operation that I mentioned leaving material in rural areas and that no physical correspondence arrives; Furthermore, this operation is contactless. Also due to COVID-19 it has been extended and dates have been modified. For example, in the original plan it was that self-response would be going on until July 31, but now it has been extended until October 31, along with censors [who] are going those homes to those homes that have received no response. Why is it so important for the Hispanic community to specifically respond to the 2020 Census? Well, it is definitely very important that the Hispanic community participate in the census. Why? Because there are many programs that we participate in each community and by answering the census it will determine the amount of federal funds that will go or will reach that community. If we as Hispanics do not complete the census, we do not complete how many people live in our homes, from the smallest to the oldest person who

¿Por qué es tan importante que la comunidad hispana participe en el Censo 2020? Definitivamente es muy importante que la comunidad hispana participe en el Censo. ¿Por qué? Porque hay muchos programas en los que participamos en cada comunidad, y los datos del Censo determinarán la cantidad de fondos federales que se otorgarán a esa comunidad.
Photo Credit: 2020census.gov lives with us. So those programs, for example, food in schools, those programs for older people in different institutions are not going to come. The [funding] is not going to arrive, or its going to be less than what it really is. So that's why it's so important that we all count them, because those activities, those programs that we normally participate in, are going to benefit from those federal funds and we all benefit. If we don't count, we lose, in other words. A note I have here is that in the 2010 Census, there was a sub-count of children under 5, and wanted to know what could be done to prevent the same situation in this year's census? Yes, unfortunately that was not taken into account and the children were not put on. So that's why we are encouraging and incentivizing the entire population to count everyone. All babies born until or before April 1, those children have to make sure to count them. And to young children. People have to count children where they live and sleep most of the time, even if their parents don't live there. If children spend their time in more than one place, count them where they stay most often. If their time, for example, is divided equally or it isn’t known where they stay more often, then people counting should put where they stayed on April 1, 2020. That is the benchmark to guide us regarding the population count. Also, by responding to the census you can definitely help shape the resources for children and their communities for the next decade. This, as I mentioned earlier, may include support for food programs, health insurance programs, hospitals, daycare centers, schools, and early childhood development programs. For all that, the census was counted and to distribute those federal resources or funds to each institution, each area that these programs organize. Finally, is there anything else you would like to add about the 2020 Census? Well, I just want to encourage all people to respond to the census. We have the website 2020census. gov, and you can also call 844-330-2020 to answer the questionnaire by phone. Or you can also fill out the printed form and send it by mail, as is traditional, as it has always been done. Currently in the San José area the response is deficient 69.5% in total, it is a good sign. From August 11 to October 31, all the households that have not responded can answer it; but also on these dates the census takers will be going in those cases that have not received their questionnaires. Then they will knock on your door and help you complete the census form.

l plazo oficial para participar en El Censo 2020 ha sido extendido. Si aún no lo ha completado, es muy importante que se tome el tiempo para hacerlo. Los resultados no sólo se utilizarán para ayudar a asignar fondos para programas educativos y comunitarios, también es importante que usted cuente para la próxima década en este país. Recientemente, la portavoz de la oficina del Censo, Angélica Vásquez, nos informó que la tasa de participación en el Censo en el Área de la Bahía es prometedora. Hasta ahora, el 70% de la población del condado de Santa Clara ha respondido. Específicamente en San José, la tasa de participación es un poco menos del 70%. Aunque la mayor parte de la población ha respondido, podrían ser todavía más. Queremos alentar a todos a que participen en el Censo con el fin de obtener una imagen más clara de las comunidades y sus necesidades respecto a la ayuda federal, desde programas de almuerzos escolares hasta atención médica y ayuda comunitaria para ancianos. Vásquez pide a todos los que no han respondido que lo hagan, especialmente en la comunidad hispana. Para empezar, ¿Me podría brindar una actualización general desde que el Censo 2020 comenzó? Bueno, te cuento que el porcentaje de la gente que ha completado El Censo en el país es del 61%. En California, la tasa de respuesta es del 62.5%. En el Área de la Bahía hay más participación, como por ejemplo en el condado de San Mateo con el 72% y en el condado de Santa Clara con el 70%. Sin embargo, la tasa de participación en San Francisco es del 59%. Intentamos obtener más respuestas, especialmente en las áreas dónde no ha habido mucha participación, como por ejemplo en Pleasanton, Alameda, Contra Costa y San Francisco. ¿Por qué cree que en los lugares que menciona hay tan poca participación en el Censo? Bueno, actualmente está en marcha una operación en la cual los censistas visitan las áreas rurales que no han participado. Les dejan paquetes que contienen toda la información del Censo para que lo llenen. ¿Por qué? Ésta operación que se había iniciado en marzo, se tuvo que suspender y ésa gente no ha tenido la oportunidad de llenarlo o de obtener información acerca del Censo. Esa es una de las razones por las que muchos condados en áreas rurales no han llegado a una tasa de participación tan alta como en el área de San Mateo o Santa Clara. Entonces ¿Todavía se puede participar en el Cen-
Si nosotros como hispanos no completamos el censo, no sabremos cuantas personas viven en nuestros hogares, del más pequeño hasta la persona de mayor edad. Entonces esos programas – como por ejemplo alimentos en la escuela o aquellos dirigidos a la gente mayor en diferentes instituciones – nunca nos llegarán. No se nos otorgarán fondos federales o por lo menos no la cantidad necesaria. Por eso es tan importante que todos nos contemos. Todas las actividades y programas en las que participamos se beneficiarán de los fondos federales y así todos nosotros también nos beneficiaremos. O en otras palabras: Si no nos contamos, perdemos. Una nota que tengo aquí es que en el Censo 2010, hubo un sub-conteo de niños menores de 5 años, y quería saber ¿Qué se podría hacer para prevenir esa misma situación en el Censo de este año? Sí, desafortunadamente, eso no se tomó en cuenta y los niños no fueron incluidos en el conteo. Por lo tanto, queremos alentar e incentivar a toda la población a que nos cuenten a todos. Debemos asegurarnos de contar también a los bebés que nacieron hasta el 1° de abril o antes y también a los niños pequeños. La gente tiene que contar a sus hijos e indicar dónde viven y duermen la mayor parte del tiempo, incluso si sus papas no viven con ellos. Si los niños pasan su tiempo en más de un hogar, cuéntenlos dónde se quedan más seguido. Si su tiempo por ejemplo, se divide por igual o si se desconoce dónde se quedan más tiempo, entonces cuéntenlos en el hogar dónde estaban el primero de abril del 2020. Esta es la marca para orientarnos con respecto al conteo de la población. Responder el Censo también ayuda a darle forma a los recursos destinados para los niños y sus comunidades en la próxima década. Esto, como ya había mencionado antes, podría incluir apoyos para programas alimenticios, programas de seguros médicos, hospitales, guarderías, escuelas, programas de desarrollo para niños de temprana edad. Para todo eso se contó el censo y para distribuir esos recursos o fondos federales a cada institución, cada área que organiza estos programas. Para terminar, ¿Hay otra cosa que quisiera agregar sobre el Censo 2020? Bueno, simplemente quiero alentar a toda la gente a que participe en el Censo 2020. Tenemos la página web 2020census.gov/es, y también pueden llamar a la línea en español al teléfono: 844 468 2020. También pueden llenar el formulario impreso y mandarlo por correo, como siempre se ha hecho de manera tradicional. Hasta el momento, la tasa de respuesta en el área de San José es del 69.5% en total, lo que es una buena señal. A partir del 11 de agosto y hasta el 31 de octubre, todas las personas que no han respondido, todavía lo pueden hacer. Además por esas fechas, los censistas operadores van a ir a las casas de las que no han recibido los cuestionarios. Van a tocar a su puerta para ayudarle a llenar los formularios del Censo.

SUSCRÍBETE. DONA. ANUNCIA. En épocas de crisis, la información esencial acerca de tu comunidad proviene de periodistas locales. El acceso a información de alta calidad es fundamental. Especialmente información local. Y más ahora. ¿Qué está ocurriendo en nuestras comunidades? ¿Cuál es el impacto? ¿Cómo están respondiendo nuestros líderes locales? Para las respuestas a estas preguntas, dependemos del trabajo de nuestros periodistas locales. Como resultado, el número de lectores de noticias locales ha alcanzado niveles nunca antes vistos.
Este mensaje está respaldado
Pero a causa de COVID-19, la mayoría de las publicaciones de noticias locales están perdiendo dinero rápidamente. La publicidad se ha desplomado durante la crisis y no hay suficientes suscripciones nuevas para llenar ese vacío. Esto ha ocasionado el despido de miles de periodistas locales, justo cuando nuestra sociedad enfrenta numerosos retos de carácter urgente. Millones de personas corren peligro de perder acceso a la información local
confiable que necesitan para mantenerse informados. Por eso, la Asociación de Medios Locales (Local Media Association) y el Consorcio de Medios Locales (Local Media Consortium) están colaborando con nuestros miembros con vistas a un mejor futuro para el periodismo local. Es por eso que Google, nuestro asociado de mucho tiempo, está comprando anuncios publicitarios en publicaciones locales de todo el país, además de proveer un Fondo de Asistencia para ayudar a los medios de noticias locales que se encuentran en apuros. Pero esto no es suficiente.
Las publicaciones en las cuales confías necesitan tu apoyo. Suscríbete. Haz una donación. Y, si eres dueño de un negocio que puede hacerlo, coloca anuncios en ellas. Tu apoyo es vital para sostener a los dedicados periodistas que sirven a tus comunidades. Nuestras publicaciones noticiosas locales nos ayudan a mantenernos seguros. Ayudemos a que se mantengan abiertas.
