EMPODERANDO A LAS LATINAS: UN MOMENTO HISTÓRICO HACIA LAS ELECCIONES DE 2024
EMPOWERING LATINAS: A HISTORIC MOMENT TOWARDS THE 2024 ELECTIONS
LasYadira Sánchez
La Red Hispana / Poder Latinx
elecciones de 2024 presentan una oportunidad única para las mujeres latinas en los Estados Unidos.
A medida que el mundo observa a México bajo la dirección de su primera presidenta a partir del primero de octubre, nos enfrentamos a la posibilidad real de hacer historia en nuestro propio país, eligiendo a la primera presidenta en los Estados Unidos.
Este es un momento crucial para el voto femenino, y especialmente para las latinas, quienes tenemos el poder de transformar el panorama político en este ciclo electoral.
El poder del voto latino no es un secreto, y en los últimos años, hemos visto un aumento en la participación política de nuestra comunidad.
Sin embargo, en esta elección, el papel de las mujeres latinas es más crítico que nunca. Más allá del importante rol que tenemos en nuestros hogares, somos las líderes de nuestras comunidades, y ahora, podemos ser las catalizadoras del cambio en nuestro país.
Me llena de orgullo ser parte de esta transformación. Comencé en el activismo comunitario porque el tema migratorio y de justicia social me tocaba de manera personal.
Soy hija de inmigrantes mexicanos que vinieron indocumentados, y conozco de primera mano cuán importante es contar con protecciones de salud, educación, oportunidades laborales y, sobre todo, garantías de parte de quienes nos gobiernan para vivir una vida digna y que nos conduzca al progreso individual y colectivo.
Ahora, como directora ejecutiva de Poder Latinx, una organización sin fines de lucro y no partidista que trabaja para generar poder político en la comunidad latina, tengo la responsabilidad de legar esa misma fuerza y visión a otras mujeres jóvenes, impulsándolas a ser agentes de cambio para sus comunidades y por la democracia.
Poder Latinx está profundamente comprometido con este empoderamiento de las latinas, y por eso nuestro programa Poderosas Fellowship se dedica al desarrollo de líderes y este mes de septiembre llevaremos a cabo la Cumbre Legislativa Poderosas en Washington, D.C. Este evento reunirá a líderes comunitarias, legisladoras, y activistas de todo el país para discutir cómo las latinas pueden seguir siendo catalizadoras de la participación política que beneficie a nuestras familias y comunidades.
En la Cumbre, abordaremos temas como inmigración, equidad económica, los derechos reproductivos y la justicia climática. Estos son temas que impactan directamente a nuestras comunidades, y es vital que las voces de las latinas sean escuchadas en estos debates.
Nuestra presencia y participación pueden cambiar el curso de estas discusiones y asegurar que nuestras necesidades sean una prioridad en la agenda legislativa.
Este es un momento de acción para las mujeres latinas, de alzar nuestras voces y de asegurar que nuestras hijas crez-
can en un país donde no solo tienen el derecho al voto, sino también el derecho a soñar y ser líderes, presidentas y agentes de cambio.
Nuestro poder como mujeres -y mujeres latinas- en este país es innegable, y en estas elecciones, demostraremos que estamos listas para liderar. Es momento de seguir haciendo historia, no solo en México, sino en Washington y en cada comunidad aquí en los Estados Unidos. El futuro de nuestro país está en nuestras manos, y juntas, podemos liderarlo.

Asthe world watches Mexico under the leadership of its first female president beginning October frist, we face the real possibility of making history in our own country by electing the first female president in the United States.
This is a crucial moment for the female vote, and especially for Latinas, who have the power to transform the political landscape in this electoral cycle.
The power of the Latino vote is no secret, and in recent years, we have seen an increase in political participation in our community.
However, in this election, the role of Latina women is more critical than ever. Beyond the important role we have in our homes, we are the leaders of our

Now, as executive director of Poder Latinx, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to build political power in the Latino community, I have a responsibility to bequeath that same strength and vision to other young women, galvanizing them to be agents of change. for their communities and for democracy.
Poder Latinx is deeply committed to this empowerment of Latinas, which is why our Poderosas Fellowship program is dedicated to the development of leaders and this September we will hold the Poderosas Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C. This event will bring together community leaders, legislators, and activists from across the country to discuss how Latinas can continue to be catalysts for political participation that benefits our families and communities.
At the Summit, we will address topics such as immigration, economic equity, reproductive rights and climate justice. These are issues that directly impact our communities, and it is vital that Latina voices are heard in these debates.
Our presence and participation can change the course of these discussions and ensure that our needs are a priority on the legislative agenda.
This is a moment of action for Latina women, to raise our voices and ensure that our daughters grow up in a country where they not only have the right to vote, but also the right to dream and be leaders, presidents and agents of change.
Our power as women – and Latina women – in this country is undeniable, and in these elections, we will show that we are ready to lead. It is time to continue making history, not only in Mexico, but in Washington and in every community here in the United States. The future of our country is in our hands, and together, we can lead it.

REPORT: NEW PRESCRIPTION DRUG CAP FOR MEDICARE MEANS BIG SAVINGS
Suzanne Potter California News Service
Hundredsof thousands of older Californians will see huge savings on prescription drugs starting in January, according to a new report from AARP.
The Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act caps prescription drug costs at $2,000 per year for people on Medicare, starting in 2025.
Nina Weiler-Harwell, associate director of advocacy and community engagement for AARP California, said an estimated 271,000 people in the Golden State will hit the out-of-pocket maximum next year.
"Medicare drug plan enrollees nationwide who reach the new out-of-pocket cap will see an average savings of roughly $1,500," said Weiler-Harwell, "or 56% in 2025 for new prescription drugs."
On average, 40% of people on Medicare who reach the cap will save at $1,000 a year. And 12% will see savings of more than $3,000.
Every year from 2025 to 2029, between 3 and 4 million Part D plan enrollees are
estimated to benefit from the new out-ofpocket cap.
Weiler-Harwell said the Inflation Reduction Act introduced a number of new policies to cut costs for Americans on Medicare.
"Copays for insulin capped at $35 a month," said Weiler-Harwell. "Vaccines such as shingles and pneumonia are free. The Inflation Reduction Act did allow Medicare to negotiate the price of highcost prescription drugs. But we won't really start to see that until 2026."
Also thanks to the IRA, drug companies will have to pay a penalty if they raise their prices higher than inflation.
INFORME: NUEVO LÍMITE DE RECETAS MÉDICAS PARA MEDICARE SUPONE GRAN AHORRO
Suzanne Potter California News Service
Según
un nuevo informe de AARP, cientos de miles de californianos de edad avanzada se ahorraran mucho en medicamentos a partir de enero.
La Ley de Reducción de la Inflación de la administración Biden limita los costos de los medicamentos recetados a $2,000 dólares anuales para los beneficiarios de Medicare a partir de 2025.
Nina Weiler-Harwell de AARP dice que aproximadamente 271 mil personas en el Estado Dorado alcanzaran el máximo de desembolso personal el próximo año.
"Los afiliados al plan de medicamentos de Medicare de todo el país que alcancen
el nuevo límite de desembolso personal obtendrán un ahorro promedio de unos $1,500 dólares o un 56% en 2025 para nuevos medicamentos," informa WeilerHarwell.
En promedio, el 40% de las personas que reciben Medicare y alcanzan el límite ahorraran $1,000 dólares al año, y el 12% ahorrara más de $3,000 dólares.
Se estima que, cada ano, entre 2025 y 2029, entre 3 y 4 millones de personas inscritas en el plan Parte D se beneficiaran del nuevo límite de desembolso personal.
Weiler-Harwell dice que la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación introdujo una serie de nuevas políticas para recortar los costos de los estadounidenses con Medicare.
"Los copagos de insulina tienen un tope de $35 dólares al mes," informa WeilerHarwell. "Las vacunas contra el herpes zoster y la neumonía son gratuitas. La Ley de Reducción de la Inflación permitió a Medicare negociar el precio de los medicamentos de alto costo. Pero no se verá hasta 2026."
Además, gracias al IRA, las compañías farmacéuticas tendrán que pagar una multa si aumentan sus precios por encima de la inflación.

MAKING THE GRADE WITH MEDICAID AND CHIP ASEGURANDO EL ÉXITO ACADÉMICO
Health Coverage is a Back-to-School Essential
BPT
Back-to-school season is in full swing, which means it's time to make sure your kids have the essentials they need for a successful school year. Health coverage should be at the top of that list - and being insured is important for students all year long. Academic success, long-term health outcomes, and health coverage all go hand-in-hand: Studies show that when children have health coverage, they are better equipped to participate in the classroom and during extracurricular activities, miss fewer days of school, and are more likely to complete high school and graduate college.
Finding free or low-cost health coverage for your family can be as easy as ABC. Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provide coverage for a broad range of health services for kids up to age 19. When enrolled, kids have access to preventive care, emergency services, dental visits, behavioral health care, immunizations, vision care, and more. For the millions of families who are currently covered, now is also a good time to ensure kids are caught up on routine vaccines and well-child visits needed to participate in school activities.
Get Insured with Medicaid and CHIP
The Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign wants families to experience the peace of mind and security that comes with knowing their child is covered no matter what the school year brings. Medicaid and CHIP cover more than 37 million children in the United States and have helped ensure that more than 94% of the nation's children have health coverage. Enrollment is open year-round, meaning your family doesn't have to wait for an open-enrollment period to see if you qualify. Coverage must be renewed each year, and it's important to make sure your address, email, and phone number
stay up to date with your state Medicaid office so your family can receive communications about important renewal information.
Medicaid and CHIP eligibility varies by state and depends on family income and how many people are in your household. In most states, children up to age 19 with family income up to $80,000 per year (for a family of four) may qualify. Families can apply online, over the phone, by mail, or in-person with their state's Medicaid office or visit the "Find Coverage for Your Family" section on InsureKidsNow.gov. For more information, call 1-877-KIDSNOW (1-877-543-7669).
With health coverage, children can get the services they need to make the grade this school year by staying healthy and thrive academically.

CON MEDICAID Y CHIP
La cobertura médica es esencial para el regreso a clases
Latemporada de regreso a clases está en pleno apogeo, lo que significa que es hora de asegurarse de que sus hijos tengan las cosas esenciales que necesitan para lograr un año escolar exitoso. La cobertura de salud debería estar en lo más alto de esa lista -y estar asegurado durante todo el año es importante para los estudiantes. El éxito académico, los resultados de la salud a largo plazo y la cobertura de salud van de la mano: Estudios muestran que cuando los niños tienen cobertura de salud, están mejor equipados para participar en el salón de clases y durante las actividades extracurriculares, pierden menos días de clases y tienen más probabilidades de completar la escuela secundaria y graduarse de la universidad.
Encontrar cobertura de salud gratuita o de bajo costo para su familia es facilísimo. Medicaid y el Programa de Seguro Médico para Niños (CHIP, por sus siglas en inglés) brindan cobertura para una amplia gama de servicios de salud para niños y adolescentes hasta los 19 años de edad. Al estar inscritos, los niños tienen acceso a atención preventiva, servicios de emergencia, visitas
al dentista, atención de salud conductual, vacunas, atención de la vista y más. Para millones de familias que actualmente están cubiertas, ahora también es un buen momento para asegurarse de que los niños estén al día con las vacunas de rutina y las visitas de niño sano necesarias para participar en las actividades escolares.
Obtenga seguro con Medicaid y CHIP
La campaña nacional Vincular a los Niños a una Cobertura (Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign) quiere que las familias experimenten la tranquilidad y la seguridad que brinda saber que sus hijos están cubiertos sin importar lo que traiga el año escolar. Medicaid y CHIP cubren a más de 37 millones de niños en los Estados Unidos y han ayudado a asegurar que más del 94% de los niños del país tengan cobertura de salud. La inscripción está abierta durante todo el año, lo que significa que su familia no tiene que esperar un período de inscripción abierta para ver si califica. La cobertura se debe renovar cada año y es importante asegurarse de que su dirección, correo electrónico y número de teléfono estén siempre actualizados en la oficina de Medicaid de su estado, para que su familia pueda recibir información importante sobre la renovación.
La elegibilidad para Medicaid y CHIP varía según el estado y depende del ingreso familiar y la cantidad de personas en su hogar. En la mayoría de los estados, podrían calificar los niños hasta 19 años de edad que viven en hogares con ingresos familiares de hasta $80,000 al año (para una familia de cuatro personas). Las familias pueden presentar su solicitud en línea, por teléfono, por correo postal o en persona en la oficina de Medicaid de su estado, o bien, pueden visitar la sección "Busque cobertura para su familia" en InsureKidsNow.gov. Para obtener más información, llame al 1-877-KIDSNOW (1-877-543-7669).
Con cobertura de salud, los niños y adolescentes pueden acceder a los servicios esenciales que necesitan para mantenerse saludables, progresar académicamente y lograr así un año escolar exitoso.

NEWSOM URGED TO SIGN BILL TO REQUIRE SPEEDING ALERT SYSTEMS ON CARS
on how likely someone actually lives or dies."
Groups fighting for safer roads are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign a bill requiring new vehicles to have a speed-monitoring system to warn drivers when they go more than 10 miles per hour over the speed limit.
Senate Bill 961 has already passed both houses of the state Legislature.
Marc Vukcevich, director of state policy for the advocacy organization Streets for All, said pedestrian deaths are epidemic.
"Pedestrian deaths have increased 68% since 2011," Vukcevich pointed out. "With traffic violence as a whole being the number one cause of death for all people from the age of five to 44 in the state of California."
Several big car manufacturers have come out in opposition to the bill, arguing the warnings could annoy and distract drivers. The change would only apply to new cars sold after 2030 and would add an estimated $60 to $100 to the cost of a car.
Vukcevich noted if drivers slow down even a few miles per hour, it would greatly reduce both the number of accidents and the suffering and death that result.
"The actual physical effect of getting hit by a car at that speed is substantially different from, let's say, 23 to 30 miles per hour," Vukcevich pointed out. "It's really a substantial difference

monitoreo de velocidad para advertir a los conductores cuando exceden el límite de velocidad en más de 10 millas por hora.
El proyecto de ley 961 del Senado ya ha sido aprobado por ambas cámaras de la Legislatura estatal.
Marc Vukcevich, de la organización sin fines de lucro Streets for All, dice que las muertes de peatones son una epidemia.
"Las muertes de peatones han aumentado un 68% desde 2011," informa Vukcevich, "siendo la violencia de tránsito en su conjunto la primera causa de muerte para todas las personas de entre 5 y 44 años en el estado de California."
Varios fabricantes de automóviles y la Asociación Nacional de Automovilistas se han manifestado en contra del proyecto de ley, argumentando que las advertencias podrían molestar y distraer a los conductores. El cambio solo se aplicaría a los coches nuevos vendidos después de 2030 y añadiría entre $60 y $100 dólares al costo de un coche.
Vuckevich dice que, si los conductores redujeran la velocidad incluso unas pocas millas por hora, se reduciría enormemente tanto el número de accidentes como el sufrimiento y las muertes que resultan de ello.
"El efecto físico real de ser atropellado por un coche a esa velocidad es sustancialmente diferente al de, digamos, 23 a 30 millas por hora," asegura Vukcevich. "Es realmente una diferencia sustancial en la probabilidad de que alguien viva o muera."
La Unión Europea ya ha aprobado una medida similar, pero California sería el primer estado de Estados Unidos en exigir sistemas de advertencia de velocidad.

LOS DEMÓCRATAS DE CALIFORNIA CONTRAATACAN LAS
REBELIONES DE
ALGUNAS
CIUDADES CONSERVADORAS SOBRE LOS DERECHOS LGBTQ Y EL ABORTO
Algunas comunidades de California se resisten a las políticas progresistas de Sacramento. Los demócratas en la Legislatura dicen que están yendo demasiado lejos y están respondiendo con proyectos de ley para cerrarlas.
Alexei Koseff CalMatters
Aligual que muchos candidatos políticos nuevos en ese momento, Rebecca Bauer-Kahan se postuló por primera vez para la Asamblea estatal en 2018 porque estaba preocupada por la elección del entonces presidente Donald Trump y quería que California luchara contra su administración.
Seis años después, esa dinámica ha dado un vuelco. En la sesión legislativa regular que acaba de concluir, la demócrata de San Ramón y sus colegas lucharon contra una creciente rebelión de las comunidades conservadoras de California contra el gobierno liberal del estado.
En temas que incluyen el acceso al aborto, las reglas electorales y los derechos LGBTQ, los demócratas en Sacramento aprobaron este año una legislación para sofocar las políticas locales emergentes que, según ellos, socavan el compromiso del estado con la diversidad, los derechos civiles y otros valores progresistas.
“En cierto sentido, tenemos el derecho de defender nuestra posición en favor de nuestros electores”, dijo Bauer-Kahan, quien comparó la relación entre la Legislatura y los gobiernos locales con un sistema de pesos y contrapesos. “Y creo que eso es lo que estamos haciendo ahora: los estamos controlando”.
Las tensiones por el control local no son nada nuevo en la política de California, como puede atestiguar cualquiera que haya seguido décadas de debates sobre el uso de la tierra y el desarrollo inmobiliario. Pero los últimos años han abierto un nuevo frente de conflicto en torno a agravios culturales más típicos de los estados republicanos.
Con el poder republicano menguando en California (el partido no ha elegido un candidato para un cargo estatal desde 2006 y trabaja bajo una superminoría en la Legislatura), los conservadores están utilizando cada vez más la relativa autonomía de los ayuntamientos, las juntas de supervisores de los condados y las juntas escolares para protestar contra las políticas estatales liberales y afirmar una visión competitiva para sus comunidades.
“Hay mucha frustración acumulada y esa es una válvula de escape que se está utilizando”, dijo el asambleísta Bill Essayli, un republicano de Corona que a menudo se opone abiertamente a los proyectos de ley que buscan acabar con la rebeldía conservadora. “Estamos en una era en la política en la que se necesita un adversario”.
El resultado ha sido leyes locales que exigen la identificación de los votantes en las urnas, impiden la apertura de clínicas de aborto, revisan los libros de las bibliotecas infantiles en busca de contenido sexual y exigen la notificación a los padres cuando los estudiantes cambian su identidad de género en la escuela, lo que llevó a los demócratas legislativos a responder con medidas que prohibirían esas políticas.
“No quieren que la gente libre tome sus pro-
pias decisiones”, dijo el supervisor del condado de Fresno, Steve Brandau, quien creó un comité de revisión de material de biblioteca para su condado porque le molestaban los libros infantiles incluidos en una exhibición del Mes del Orgullo en una biblioteca local. “Estamos luchando por nuestras vidas, estamos luchando por nuestros medios de vida, estamos luchando por nuestras creencias”.
El enfrentamiento comenzó a intensificarse el año pasado, con un enfrentamiento por un libro de texto de estudios sociales de la escuela primaria. Cuando una junta escolar del condado de Riverside se negó a adoptar el plan de estudios aprobado por el estado porque hacía referencia al activista de los derechos LGBTQ asesinado Harvey Milk, el gobernador Gavin Newsom amenazó con enviar el libro de texto directamente a los estudiantes y facturarle al distrito, que luego cambió de postura. Posteriormente, los legisladores aprobaron una ley para penalizar a las juntas escolares que prohíban libros porque incluyan la historia o la cultura de las personas LGBTQ y otros grupos diversos.
La Legislatura también aprobó, y Newsom firmó, una medida para limitar cuándo los gobiernos locales pueden contar las papeletas a mano, después de que el condado de Shasta cancelara su contrato con una empresa de máquinas de votación debido a acusaciones infundadas de fraude electoral impulsadas por Trump y sus aliados.
Este año se han producido una serie de leyes, la más controvertida fue el proyecto de ley 1955 de la Asamblea, del asambleísta Chris Ward, demócrata de San Diego, que impide a los distritos escolares alertar a los padres cuando un estudiante comienza a identificarse con otro género. Estas políticas de notificación a los padres comenzaron a surgir en toda California después de las elecciones de 2022, cuando los republicanos se centraron en ganar el control de las juntas escolares, pero los críticos argumentan que equivalen a una revelación forzada. Essayli y el asambleísta demócrata Corey Jackson casi llegaron a las manos en el pleno de la Asamblea por el AB 1955, que Newsom firmó en julio. Varias otras medidas están en camino a la
“Considero que es nuestra responsabilidad que la Legislatura establezca protecciones para todos los niños independientemente de dónde vivan”, dijo Muratsuchi, demócrata de Torrance.
Los legisladores demócratas sugirieron que la creciente confrontación podría ser un síntoma de la política divisiva de la era Trump. Dijeron que muchos conservadores tomaron como ejemplo la negativa de Trump a aceptar su derrota en las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 y, al igual que los estados liberales durante la administración Trump, están asumiendo el mando para liderar una resistencia política que, en muchos casos, creen que ha ido demasiado lejos.
“Hemos visto a mucha gente que se burla del estado de derecho”, dijo Min. “Están tratando de evitarlo mediante pequeñas tácticas furtivas”.
mesa del gobernador después de recibir la aprobación final de la Legislatura la semana pasada, incluida la AB 2085 de Bauer-Kahan para agilizar el proceso de permisos para las clínicas de salud reproductiva. Aunque California se ha posicionado como un “santuario del aborto” desde que la Corte Suprema de los EE. UU. anuló el derecho constitucional al aborto (incluso incluyó los derechos reproductivos en la constitución estatal), la oposición local ha impedido que se abran clínicas en ciudades como Beverly Hills y Fontana.
“Vimos que los votantes dijeron que apoyan abrumadoramente el derecho al aborto, por lo que es importante que nosotros, como estado, intervengamos para garantizar este acceso que dijeron que querían”, dijo BauerKahan.
El Proyecto de Ley Senatorial 1174 del Senador estatal Dave Min, demócrata de Irvine, prohibiría a los gobiernos locales exigir la identificación de los votantes en las elecciones municipales, que Huntington Beach adoptó la pasada primavera como medida de seguridad a pesar de las críticas de que crearía obstáculos innecesarios para los votantes pobres y minoritarios.
Y la AB 1825 del asambleísta Al Muratsuchi prohibiría el tipo de paneles de revisión ciudadana que Huntington Beach y el condado de Fresno crearon recientemente para restringir el acceso a libros de la biblioteca con “referencias sexuales” y “contenido de identidad de género”. Los partidarios argumentan que los comités pueden mantener el material inapropiado fuera del alcance de los niños, mientras que los opositores sostienen que tienen como objetivo censurar libros con temas LGBTQ.
Los legisladores que respaldan estos proyectos de ley dicen que apoyan el control local en algunas cuestiones, pero que esto puede llegar demasiado lejos cuando las comunidades utilizan su poder para desafiar los derechos de las personas o los valores que los californianos han afirmado ampliamente. En ese caso, creen que el estado debería intervenir.
Los políticos conservadores responden que simplemente están reaccionando a un gobierno estatal que se ha inclinado mucho más a la izquierda que sus electores al escuchar al movimiento de derechos LGBTQ y a otros activistas en lugar de a las personas que los eligieron. Essayli dijo que la supermayoría demócrata en la Legislatura es sobrerrepresentativa de una ideología progresista en comparación con los votantes de California, de los cuales solo el 46% están registrados como demócratas.
“Hay un bando que cambia lo que es normal”, dijo. “Entonces se nos considera los instigadores, los agitadores, los provocadores por decir, esperen, eso no ha sido siempre así”.
Un portavoz de Newsom se negó a hacer comentarios sobre la legislación que tiene pendiente ante él o sobre cuándo cree el gobernador que es necesaria la intervención estatal para anular las políticas locales. Pero incluso si firma los proyectos de ley que tiene en su escritorio, es casi seguro que no será el final de esta lucha, ya que comunidades como Huntington Beach, que se ha posicionado en los últimos dos años como un baluarte en la guerra conservadora contra el “wokeism”, están considerando demandas y otras formas de protesta.
La alcaldesa de Huntington Beach, Gracey Van Der Mark, ya presentó una ordenanza sobre el “derecho de los padres a saber” como desafío directo a la AB 1955, la ley que prohíbe a las escuelas informar cuando los estudiantes cambian su identidad de género. Ella dijo que su ciudad está ahora más en desacuerdo con Sacramento porque los políticos estatales están tratando de acabar con la diversidad ideológica en California y obligar a todos los padres a criar a sus hijos de una determinada manera.
“Eso no es asunto del estado”, dijo. “Estamos hartos de esto. Tenemos que contraatacar”.
“Sería fantástico si Sacramento pudiera centrarse en las personas sin hogar y en la delincuencia”, añadió, “y dejar la crianza de los hijos en manos de los padres”.

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS STRIKE BACK AGAINST LOCAL CONSERVATIVE REBELLIONS ON LGBTQ RIGHTS, ABORTION
Alexei Koseff CalMatters
Likemany new political candidates at the time, Rebecca Bauer-Kahan first ran for the state Assembly in 2018 because she was troubled by the election of then-President Donald Trump and wanted California to fight back against his administration.
Six years later, that dynamic has flipped on its head. In the just-concluded regular legislative session, the San Ramon Democrat and her colleagues instead battled a surging rebellion from conservative California communities against the state’s liberal governance.
On issues including abortion access, election rules and LGBTQ rights, Democrats in Sacramento passed legislation this year to stifle emerging local policies that they argued undermine the state’s commitment to diversity, civil rights and other progressive values.
“In certain ways, we have the right to hold the line for our constituencies,” said Bauer-Kahan, who compared the relationship between the Legislature and local governments to a system of checks and balances. “And I think that’s what we’re doing right now — we’re checking them.”
Tensions over local control are nothing new in California politics, as anyone who has followed decades of debate about land use and housing development can attest. But the last few years have opened a new front of conflict around cultural grievances more typical of red states.
With Republican power waning in California — the party hasn’t elected a candidate to statewide office since 2006 and labors under a superminority in the Legislature — conservatives are increasingly using the relative autonomy of city councils, county boards of supervisors and school boards to protest liberal state policymaking and assert a competing vision for their communities.
“There’s just a lot of built-up frustration and that’s one valve that’s being used,” said Assemblymember Bill Essayli, a Corona Republican who is often an outspoken opponent of bills to shut down conservative defiance. “We’re in an era in politics where you need an adversary.”
The result has been local laws to require voter identification at the polls, block abortion clinics from opening, review children’s library books for sexual content and mandate parental notification when students change their gender identity at school — prompting legislative Democrats to respond with measures that would ban those policies.
“They don’t want free people to make up their own minds,” said Fresno County Supervisor Steve Brandau, who developed a library material review committee for his county because he was disturbed by the children’s books included in a Pride Month display at a local library. “We’re fighting for our lives, we’re fighting for our livelihoods, we’re fighting for our beliefs.”
The clash began intensifying last year, with a showdown over an elementary school social studies textbook. When a Riverside County school board refused to adopt the state-approved curriculum because it referenced assassinated LGBTQ rights activist Harvey Milk, Gov. Gavin Newsom threatened to send the textbook directly to students and bill the district, which then reversed course. Legislators subsequently passed a law to penalize school boards that ban books because they include the history or culture of LGBTQ people and other diverse groups.
The Legislature also approved, and Newsom signed, a measure to limit when local governments can count ballots by hand, after Shasta County canceled its contract with a voting machine company because of unfounded election fraud claims pushed by Trump and his allies.
A spate of legislation has followed this year, most
Some California communities are resisting progressive policies from Sacramento. Democrats in the Legislature say they are going too far and are responding with bills to shut them down.
controversially Assembly Bill 1955 by Assemblymember Chris Ward, a San Diego Democrat, which prevents school districts from alerting parents when a student starts identifying as another gender. Such parental notification policies began sprouting up across California after the 2022 election, when Republicans focused on winning control of school boards, but critics argue they amount to forced outing. Essayli and Democratic Assemblymember Corey Jackson nearly came to blows on the Assembly
Several other measures are headed to the governor’s desk after receiving final approval from the Legislature last week, including Bauer-Kahan’s AB 2085 to streamline the permitting process for reproductive health clinics. Though California has positioned itself as an “abortion sanctuary” since the U.S Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion — even putting reproductive rights into the state constitution — local opposition
has prevented clinics from opening in cities such as Beverly Hills and Fontana.
“We saw the voters say they overwhelmingly support abortion rights, so it’s important that we as a state step in to ensure this access that they said they want,” Bauer-Kahan said.
Senate Bill 1174 by state Sen. Dave Min, an Irvine Democrat, would prohibit local governments from requiring voter identification in municipal elections, which Huntington Beach adopted this past spring as a security measure despite criticisms that it would create unnecessary hurdles for poor and minority voters.
And AB 1825 by Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, would outlaw the sort of citizen review panels that Huntington Beach and Fresno County recently created to restrict access to library books with “sexual references” and “gender-identity content.” Supporters argue the committees can keep inappropriate material out of children’s hands, while opponents contend that they target books with LGBTQ themes for censorship.
The legislators behind these bills say they support local control on some issues, but it can go too far when communities use their power to challenge people’s rights or the values that Californians have broadly affirmed. That’s when they believe the state should step in.
“I see it as our responsibility for the Legislature to establish protections for all kids regardless of where they live,” said Muratsuchi, a Torrance Democrat.
Democratic lawmakers suggested the growing confrontation could be a symptom of the divisive politics of the Trump era. They said many conservatives took a signal from Trump’s refusal to accept his loss in the 2020 presidential election and, like liberal states during the Trump administration, are picking up the mantle to lead a political resistance — which they believe, in many cases, has gone too far.
“You’ve seen a lot of these people really thumb their nose at the rule of law,” Min said. “They’re trying to get around that through sneaky little tactics.”
Conservative politicians counter that they are simply reacting to a state government that has pushed much further left than their constituents by listening to the LGBTQ rights movement and other activists rather than the people who elected them. Essayli said the Democratic supermajority in the Legislature is over-representative of a progressive ideology compared to California voters, only 46% of whom are registered Democrats.
“There’s one side changing what the norm is,” he said. “Then we’re considered the instigators, the agitators, the provocateurs for saying, wait, that’s not the way it’s always been.”
A spokesperson for Newsom declined to comment on the legislation pending before him or when the governor thinks state intervention is necessary to override local policies. But even if he signs the bills on his desk, is it almost certainly not the end of this fight, as communities such as Huntington Beach — which has positioned itself over the past two years as a bulwark in the conservative war against “wokeism” — consider lawsuits and other forms of protest.
Huntington Beach Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark has already introduced a “parents’ right to know” ordinance as a direct challenge to AB 1955, the law prohibiting schools from reporting when students change their gender identity.
She said her city is more at odds now with Sacramento because state politicians are trying to stamp out ideological diversity in California and force all parents to raise their children in a certain way.
“That’s none of the state’s business,” she said. “We’re sick and tired of it. We need to push back.”
“It would be great if Sacramento could focus on homelessness, crime,” she added, “and leave the parenting to the parents.”

COMMIT A HATE CRIME: SERVE
NO TIME?
Racial animus is extremely difficult to prove, say prosecutors. Last year, 1970 hate crimes were identified by law enforcement in California, but just 5 went to trial.
Sunita Sohrabji Ethnic Media Services
AyoungThai American bartender, who was pepper-sprayed as suspects yelled “Go back to your country,” believes she was victimized twice: once during the attack, and then again at the San Francisco District Attorney’s office, which refused to charge the incident as a hate crime.
Kunni, the victim, has a video of the incident, which occurred during a late night shift at the bar she works in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. She has presented prosecutors with the video, along with witness statements which indicate a racially-motivated attack.
But, she said, prosecutors ignored both, saying there was insufficient evidence to charge a hate crime. Kunni requested a jury trial, but, she said, the District Attorney’s office discouraged her from that as well. Her attacker was arrested, but bailed out and is now free without charges. She lives in the neighborhood in which Kunni lives with her daughter, but no restraining order has been granted.
“I still have PTSD and panic attacks. I go to the psychiatrist every Wednesday to manage my symptoms. This feels very unfair to me. The prosecutor did not want to hear my story,” said Kunni.
Grandpa Vicha
At an Aug. 23 Ethnic Media Services news briefing focusing on the difficulty of prosecuting hate crimes, Monthanus Ratanapakdee shared a similar story about her late father Vicha. On Jan. 30, 2021, the 84-year old grandfather was taking a daily walk around his San Francisco neighborhood. He was fatally pushed to the ground by suspect Antoine Watson, who then left the scene. Watson was arrested two days later, and remains in jail without bail. He has been charged with attempted murder, but no hate crime charges have been added, despite video evidence of the violent attack.
Three and a half years later, no trial date has been set.
Justice Delayed Ratanapakdee has founded Justice for Vicha to honor her father, and to advocate for other victims of suspected hate crimes. The delay in justice for her father, and an inherent distrust of law enforcement, results in many people not reporting hate crimes or incidents, she says.
“Both the victim and the defendant have the right to a fair and speedy trial. That has not happened in my father’s case,” said Ratanapakdee.
The Bias Factor
Last year, law enforcement agencies from around the state of California reported 1,970 hate crimes. Of those, just 5 went to trial, according to data from the California Attorney General’s office. In 2021, the state was experiencing a wave of violent attacks against Asian Americans: just one hate case went to trial that year. Moreover, judges in California are increasingly using diversionary sentencing — behavior modification classes, counseling, or restitution to victims — which may result in no jail or prison time.
Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Erin West, a 26-year veteran prosecutor, said when a case comes to her office which has potential elements of a hate crime, or if the victim believes it is a hate crime, two prosecutors review the case to determine whether hate crime charges can be added. “We take these cases very seriously, and we evaluate them very seriously,” she said.
Marsy’s Law
Bias must be a significant factor for a hate crime to be charged, said West, noting that with many such cases, bias is not the motivating factor for the crime.
Referring to the delay in Ratanapakdee’s case, West noted that Marsy’s Law requires prosecutors to keep victims notified of what is happening in their case. The law further requires victims to be informed of plea deals or bail hearings.
Data on the number of hate crimes prosecuted in any year is inaccurate, said West, noting that it takes some time for evidence to be collected and for cases to be brought
COMETER UN DELITO DE ODIO: ¿SIN CUMPLIR CONDENA?
La animadversión racial es extremadamente difícil de probar, dicen los fiscales. El año pasado, las fuerzas del orden identificaron 1970 delitos motivados por el odio en California, pero solo 5 llegaron a juicio.
to trial. Hate crime cases will not necessarily be tried in the year they were reported, said West, which reflects in low data counts.
The Need for Better Data
“I would suggest that we shake the trees at the California Department of Justice and see about getting a form that better reflects the number of hate crimes prosecuted,” she said.
“Victims and survivors feel like they are not always getting the justice they seek and that they deserve,” said Manjusha Kulkarni, co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate and executive director of the AAPI Equity Alliance. She noted a recent California state auditor’s report which found that law enforcement often fails to properly identify crimes as hate crimes, and fails to report them to the Justice Department. Officers are improperly trained to identify hate crimes, she said.
“Law enforcement officers have a reluctance to see things as hate crimes because they don’t want to believe that their city or their region is a hateful one,” said Kulkarni. She noted also that hate relating to Asian Americans and Pacific Islander victims is not necessarily universally accepted as hate in the same way as a cross burning or swastika graffiti.
The Path to Healing
Healing can happen outside of the courtroom, she said, noting that the California vs. Hate initiative can provide victims with numerous resources fostering healing, including mental health services.
“It’s not simply enough to prosecute cases when hate happens. We have to actually prevent it from happening in one of the most diverse states.”
"We really need to put the kibosh on hate against all marginalized communities,” said Kulkarni.

Unajoven mesera tailandesa-estadounidense, que fue rociada con gas pimienta mientras los sospechosos le gritaban «Vuelve a tu país», cree que fue víctima dos veces: una durante el ataque y otra ante la fiscalía de San Francisco, que se negó a imputar el incidente como delito de odio.
Kunni, la víctima, tiene un vídeo del incidente, que ocurrió durante un turno de noche en el bar en el que trabaja en el distrito Tenderloin de San Francisco. Ha presentado a los fiscales el vídeo, junto con declaraciones de testigos que indican un ataque por motivos raciales.
Pero, según ella, los fiscales hicieron caso omiso de ambas alegando que no había pruebas suficientes para imputar un delito de odio. Kunni solicitó un juicio con jurado, pero, según dijo, la fiscalía también la desaconsejó. Su agresor fue detenido, pero salió bajo fianza y ahora está en libertad sin cargos. Vive en el barrio en el que Kunni vive con su hija, pero no se le ha concedido ninguna orden de alejamiento.
«Sigo teniendo TEPT y ataques de pánico. Voy al psiquiatra todos los miércoles para controlar mis síntomas. Esto me parece muy injusto. El fiscal no quiso escuchar mi historia», dijo Kunni.
Abuelo Vicha
El 23 de agosto, en una sesión informativa de Ethnic Media Services sobre la dificultad de perseguir los delitos de odio, Monthanus Ratanapakdee contó una historia similar sobre su difunto padre, Vicha. El 30 de enero de 2021, el abuelo, de 84 años, daba un paseo diario por su barrio de San Francisco. El sospechoso Antoine Watson lo empujó fatalmente al suelo, quien luego abandonó la escena. Watson fue arrestado dos días después y permanece en prisión sin derecho a fianza. Ha sido acusado de intento de asesinato, pero no se le han añadido cargos por delitos de odio, a pesar de las pruebas en vídeo del violento
factor motivador del delito.
Refiriéndose al retraso en el caso de Ratanapakdee, West señaló que la Ley Marsy exige que los fiscales mantengan a las víctimas informadas de lo que está sucediendo en su caso. La ley exige además que las víctimas sean informadas sobre los acuerdos de declaración de culpabilidad o las audiencias de libertad bajo fianza.
ataque.
Tres años y medio después, aún no se ha fijado una fecha para el juicio.
Justicia retrasada
Ratanapakdee fundó Justice for Vicha para honrar a su padre y defender a otras víctimas de presuntos delitos de odio. La demora en la justicia para su padre y la desconfianza inherente en las autoridades hacen que muchas personas no denuncien incidentes o crímenes de odio, dice.
«Tanto la víctima como el acusado tienen derecho a un juicio justo y rápido. Eso no ha pasado en el caso de mi padre», afirmó Ratanapakdee.
El factor de sesgo
El año pasado, las fuerzas del orden de todo el estado de California denunciaron 1.970 delitos motivados por el odio.
De ellos, solo 5 llegaron a juicio, según datos de la oficina del fiscal general de California. En 2021, el estado experimentaba una oleada de ataques violentos contra los asiático-americanos: sólo un caso de odio llegó a juicio ese año. Además, los jueces de California están recurriendo cada vez más a sentencias de desvío -clases de modificación de conducta, asesoramiento o restitución a las víctimas- que pueden no conllevar penas de cárcel o prisión.
La fiscal adjunta del condado de Santa Clara, Erin West, una fiscal veterana con 26 años de experiencia, dijo que cuando llega a su oficina un caso que tiene elementos potenciales de un crimen de odio, o si la víctima cree que se trata de un crimen de odio, dos fiscales revisan el caso para determinar si se pueden añadir cargos de crimen de odio. «Nos tomamos estos casos muy en serio, y los evaluamos muy seriamente», dijo.
Ley Marsy
El prejuicio debe ser un factor significativo para que se acuse de un delito de odio, dijo West, señalando que en muchos de estos casos, el prejuicio no es el
Los datos sobre el número de delitos motivados por el odio perseguidos cada año son inexactos, dijo West, señalando que se tarda algún tiempo en reunir pruebas y en llevar los casos a juicio. Los casos de delitos motivados por el odio no se juzgan necesariamente en el año en que se denuncian, dijo West, lo que se refleja en los bajos recuentos de datos.
La necesidad de mejores datos
“Yo sugeriría que sacudiéramos los árboles en el Departamento de Justicia de California y consideráramos la posibilidad de obtener un formulario que refleje mejor el número de delitos de odio procesados”, dijo.
“Las víctimas y los sobrevivientes sienten que no siempre reciben la justicia que buscan y merecen”, dijo Manjusha Kulkarni, cofundadora de Stop AAPI Hate y directora ejecutiva de AAPI Equity Alliance. Señaló un informe reciente del auditor del estado de California que encontró que las fuerzas del orden a menudo no identifican adecuadamente los delitos como crímenes de odio y no los reportan al Departamento de Justicia. Los agentes no están debidamente capacitados para identificar delitos de odio, afirmó.
"Los agentes encargados de hacer cumplir la ley se muestran reacios a ver las cosas como crímenes de odio porque no quieren creer que su ciudad o su región sean odiosas", dijo Kulkarni. Señaló también que el odio relacionado con las víctimas asiático-estadounidenses y de las islas del Pacífico no es necesariamente aceptado universalmente como odio de la misma manera que la quema de una cruz o el grafiti con la esvástica. El camino hacia la sanación La curación puede ocurrir fuera de la sala del tribunal, dijo, y señaló que la iniciativa California vs. Odio puede proporcionar a las víctimas numerosos recursos que fomenten la curación, incluidos servicios de salud mental.
“No basta con procesar los casos cuando surge el odio. De hecho, tenemos que evitar que esto suceda en uno de los estados más diversos”.
"Realmente necesitamos acabar con el odio contra todas las comunidades marginadas", afirmó Kulkarni.

SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY SEEKS APPRENTICES TO MEET THE RISING NEED FOR WORKERS
Through conferences, grants, and other mechanisms, the SEMI Foundation has been trying to fill the increasing number of semiconductor jobs in California.
Alisha Green CalMatters
Freshoff earning a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, Abigail Nguyen noticed a plethora of Bay Area job openings at semiconductor companies.
The recent UC Berkeley grad didn’t feel confident applying for roles at those companies, though. She figured she had a knowledge gap that would be a barrier to landing a job in the industry.
But then a friend convinced her to attend the SEMICON West conference in San Francisco, which was free for students.
Nguyen met people in the industry from a chemical engineering background, and she realized she could plausibly get a job in semiconductors.
“It changed my perception of the industry and what it takes to be successful in the industry,” Nguyen said. “There are just so many things you can do, and if you’re confident and learn and try new things, then it’s the place for you.” She’s now applying for industry jobs as a process engineer.
It is a success story semiconductor companies, academic institutions, and public agencies in California hope to replicate thousands of times through recruiting events, increased outreach, and new apprenticeships to fill the sector’s booming demand for workers.
The uptick in demand is driven in part by a federal law passed in 2022, meant to boost research, development, and production of semiconductors in the United States. The nation only produces about 10% of the global supply of semiconductors today, even though California is the birthplace of the technology.
The opportunities will be especially abundant in California, where the semiconductor industry employs more than 63,000 people. California has the highest total number of semiconductor factories, approximately 627, along with some $10.2 billion in annual semiconductor exports.
“The semiconductor was born in California, and California has continued to lead the nation in all things semiconductor related over the last several decades,” said Derek Kirk, senior advisor for economic policy in the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development. “We are bullish on the semiconductor industry.”
The SEMI Foundation, the nonprofit arm of semiconductor and microelectronics industry association SEMI, launched several efforts — like the Workforce Pavilion at SEMICON West — in recent years aimed at creating new pipelines into the workforce. One of the first hurdles, though, is awareness of the industry and the career opportunities it presents.
“We’re kind of invisible,” said Shari Liss, executive director of the SEMI Foundation, even though semiconductors are central to much of our everyday technology. She often finds herself explaining this to students who have never thought about chip design but are glued to their phones.
The SEMI Foundation leads workforce development programs and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives with more than 3,000 semiconductor companies globally. It currently has several grants for workforce development efforts in California, supporting customized trainings, registered apprenticeships, and other “earn and learn” models.
The SEMI Foundation launched the SEMI Career and Apprenticeship Network last fall with several partners nationwide. In California, the James Irvine Foundation provided a $1.7 million grant over three years to support the SEMI Foundation in becoming an intermediary for registered apprenticeships, with an emphasis on working with community-based organizations for outreach and awareness.
When Foothill College received a grant from the statefunded California Apprenticeship Initiative, it tapped the SEMI Foundation to do outreach to employers along with curriculum development and project management. Through the grant, the SEMI Foundation and partners supported the launch of the first registered apprenticeship program for the semiconductor industry in California, meaning it meets U.S. Department of Labor standards for the amount of time apprentices spend on classroom learning and on-the-job training.
LA INDUSTRIA DE SEMICONDUCTORES BUSCA APRENDICES PARA SATISFACER LA CRECIENTE NECESIDAD DE TRABAJADORES EN ESTE RUBRO
A través de conferencias, subvenciones y otros mecanismos, la Fundación SEMI ha estado tratando de cubrir el creciente número de puestos de trabajo en el sector de semiconductores en California.
Alisha Green CalMatters
Recién
salida de una licenciatura en ingeniería química, Abigail Nguyen notó una gran cantidad de vacantes de trabajo en el Área de la Bahía en empresas de semiconductores.
Sin embargo, la reciente graduada de la Universidad de California en Berkeley no se sentía segura de postularse para puestos en esas empresas. Pensó que tenía una brecha de conocimiento que sería un obstáculo para conseguir un trabajo en la industria.
Pero luego un amigo la convenció de asistir a la conferencia SEMICON West en San Francisco, que era gratuita para los estudiantes.
Nguyen conoció a gente de la industria que tenía experiencia en ingeniería química y se dio cuenta de que posiblemente podría conseguir un trabajo en semiconductores.
The program offers customized training through community colleges that teach the specialized skills workers need to succeed in high-demand microelectronics jobs. The first group of 11 apprentices in the program last fall was about half women.
A grant for $4.6 million over two years through the state-funded High Road Training Partnerships initiative will support even more custom training. The SEMI Foundation is working with companies such as Applied Materials and Western Digital to understand the technical and soft skills workers need to succeed in entering the industry, along with the upskilling needed to keep moving up in their careers.
“The semiconductor was born in California, and California has continued to lead the nation in all things semiconductor related over the last several decades.”
Derek Kirk, senior advisor for economic policy, Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development Apprenticeships are a relatively novel concept to the semiconductor industry in the U.S., Liss said. As more semiconductor manufacturing moved overseas years ago, entry-level roles went with them. Training new technicians was not a focus here.
Today, the semiconductor workforce in the U.S. is mostly white and around 75% male, with one-third of the workforce age 55 or older.
“What’s shifting now is, as we’re investing back in manufacturing, there are pathways from community colleges, there are pathways through apprenticeships, there are pathways into these entry-level roles that are new,” Liss said. “We’ll hopefully diversify that talent pipeline.”
Apprenticeships are also important because apprentices are paid as soon as they start the program.
“That’s what allows it to be a really beautiful equity pathway for people,” Liss said.
Infinera Corporation, a San Jose-based manufacturer of optical semiconductors used in telecommunications, was a charter member of registered apprenticeships with the foundation. Infinera helped inform a joint curriculum used by multiple companies and community colleges in training apprentices. Five apprentices are training at Infinera so far.
“Had we tried to do that ourselves, it would have taken us a lot longer to go make all those connections needed to make it work,” said Kim Elise Chrissan, vice president of government affairs operations at Infinera Corporation. “It is really important for us to help address that gap of having the right available workforce here.”
The groundswell of investments in semiconductors and pathways into the industry is part of what gives Nguyen confidence as she looks for a job.
“It is a bit more stable, especially looking at other industries like tech and how much more volatile they are and how they’re doing mass layoffs,” Nguyen said. That the semiconductor industry is growing and companies are planning to manufacture in the U.S., “is all great for me and my comfort in pursuing a job in this industry and hopefully staying.”
Financial support for
“Cambió mi percepción de la industria y de lo que se necesita para tener éxito en ella”, dijo Nguyen. “Hay tantas cosas que puedes hacer, y si tienes confianza y aprendes y pruebas cosas nuevas, entonces este es el lugar para ti”. Ahora está solicitando empleos en la industria como ingeniera de procesos.
Es una historia de éxito que las empresas de semiconductores, las instituciones académicas y las agencias públicas de California esperan replicar miles de veces a través de eventos de reclutamiento, mayor alcance y nuevos aprendizajes para cubrir la creciente demanda de trabajadores del sector.
El aumento de la demanda se debe en parte a una ley federal aprobada en 2022, destinada a impulsar la investigación, el desarrollo y la producción de semiconductores en Estados Unidos. El país solo produce alrededor del 10% del suministro mundial de semiconductores en la actualidad, a pesar de que California es la cuna de la tecnología.
Las oportunidades serán especialmente abundantes en California, donde la industria de semiconductores emplea a más de 63,000 personas. California tiene el mayor número total de fábricas de semiconductores, aproximadamente 627, junto con unos 10,200 millones de dólares en exportaciones anuales de semiconductores.
“Los semiconductores nacieron en California, y California ha seguido liderando el país en todo lo relacionado con los semiconductores durante las últimas décadas”, afirmó Derek Kirk, asesor principal de política económica en la Oficina de Desarrollo Económico y Empresarial del Gobernador de California. “Somos optimistas respecto de la industria de los semiconductores”.
La Fundación SEMI, la rama sin fines de lucro de la asociación de la industria de semiconductores y microelectrónica SEMI, lanzó varias iniciativas, como SEMICON West, en los últimos años destinadas a crear nuevas vías de acceso a la fuerza laboral. Sin embargo, uno de los primeros obstáculos es el conocimiento de la industria y las oportunidades profesionales que presenta.

MY VOTE IS MY HEALTH: EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES THROUGH CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Civic Health Month is not just a time to reflect on the state of our democracy; it is a call to action.
J. Silva,
Ethnic Media Services
Aswe observe National Civic Health Month every August, we are reminded that the power of voting extends far beyond the ballot box. It is the foundation of a healthier and more equitable society. Civic Health Month is not just a time to reflect on the state of our democracy; it is a call to action—a time to connect the dots between civic engagement and the health of our communities.
Created to encourage healthcare professionals and organizations to actively promote voter participation, Civic Health Month underscores a fundamental truth: our health outcomes are intricately tied to our civic participation. When we vote, we shape policies that determine access to safe neighborhoods, quality education, economic opportunities, and the availability of healthy food and clean water. These are the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)—non-medical factors that profoundly influence our well-being.
For too long, historically disenfranchised communities have faced the dual challenge of lower voter turnout and poorer health outcomes. A study by the UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute revealed that Latinos participated in the 2020 general election at lower rates than other groups. Yet, when registered, Latino voters cast their ballots.
Voting is not merely a civic duty; it is a vital tool for health advocacy. Take, for example, the pervasive health issues within the Latino community, such as diabetes and hypertension. These conditions are not just medical; they are social and deeply connected to factors like the availability of safe public spaces, nutritious food, and clean drinking water. These conditions are shaped by policies enacted by elected officials. By voting, we can elect leaders who prioritize the essential aspects of our lives, thereby directly influencing our health.
Research consistently shows that those who are more civically engaged enjoy better health outcomes. Conversely, marginalized
communities, who often face barriers to voting, suffer from poorer health. This is where the My Vote. My Health. (MVMH™) or Mi Voto. Mi Salud. ™ campaign comes into play.
This initiative seeks to bridge the gap between civic engagement and health by empowering underrepresented communities to participate in the electoral process.
The California Secretary of State’s Office is deeply committed to facilitating civic engagement. Through voter outreach and education efforts like the Promote the Vote, Voters’ Choice Act Ambassadors Program, and/or the Students Vote Project (SVP), which amplifies the voices of college students, we aim to foster a culture of voting and civic responsibility. The MVMH™ campaign builds on this foundation, focusing on increasing voter participation by emphasizing the connection between civic engagement and health.
Funded by The California Endowment, MVMH™ is a comprehensive and non-partisan movement designed to increase electoral participation, particularly among lowpropensity Latino voters. In collaboration with AltaMed Health Services and the California Primary Care Association (CPCA), MVMH™ is expanding statewide and engaging communities across Orange, Santa
This campaign is about more than just voting; it is about empowering individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to exercise their rights and shape their destinies. The relationship between voting and health is clear: healthier communities are those where people are civically engaged. In March alone, the MVMH™ campaign reached over 220,000 health center patients, 10,000 staff members, and 140,000 voters through a network of trusted messengers and community health centers.
As we approach the November 5th General Election, there is still time to make a difference. Encourage your friends and family to check their voter status at voterstatus.sos.ca.gov.
Remember, your vote is your voice— and your health. Use it to build the future you want to see.

MI VOTO ES MI SALUD: EMPODERANDO COMUNIDADES A TRAVÉS DEL COMPROMISO CÍVICO
El Mes de la Salud Cívica no es sólo un momento para reflexionar sobre el estado de nuestra democracia; es un llamado a la acción.
Media Services
Cadaagosto, durante el Mes Nacional de la Salud Cívica, nos recordamos que el voto es más que ir a las casillas electorales. La votación es la clave fundamental para una sociedad más saludable y justa. Este mes es una oportunidad para conectar el compromiso cívico con la salud de nuestras comunidades.
El Mes de la Salud Cívica anima a profesionales y organizaciones de salud a promover la participación electoral, ya que nuestra salud está conectada a nuestra participación cívica. Al votar, influimos en políticas que afectan el acceso a vecindarios seguros, buena educación, oportunidades económicas y alimentos saludables. Estos factores, llamados Determinantes Sociales de la Salud (SDoH por sus siglas en ingles), afectan profundamente nuestro bienestar.
Históricamente, las comunidades marginadas enfrentan bajos niveles de participación electoral y peores resultados de salud. Un estudio del
Instituto de Políticas y Política Latina de UCLA reveló que, en las elecciones de 2020, los latinos participaron con menos frecuencia a comparación de otros grupos. Sin embargo, cuando están registrados para votar, los votantes Latinos participan en las elecciones.
Votar es más que un deber; es una herramienta importante para abogar y mejorar la salud. Por ejemplo, problemas comunes en la comunidad Latina, como la diabetes e hipertensión, están conectados con factores sociales, como el acceso a espacios seguros y alimentos saludables. La realidad es que estos factores son influenciados por las decisiones y las políticas de los funcionarios electos. Al votar, podemos elegir líderes con prioridades que se aliñen con nuestras necesidades, influyendo así directamente en nuestra salud.
Los estudios muestran que quienes están más comprometidos cívicamente tienen mejores resultados de salud. Las comunidades marginadas, que enfrentan barreras para votar, suelen tener peor salud. Aquí entra la campaña Mi Voto. Mi Salud.™ (MVMH™ por sus siglas en ingles), que busca conectar el compromiso cívico con la salud, animando a comunidades subrepresentadas a participar en las elec-
La Oficina del Secretario de Estado de California está profundamente comprometida a facilitar la participación cívica por medio de programas educativos para los votantes. Algunos de estos esfuerzos incluyen el Programa de Embajadores de la Ley de Elección de los Votantes (VCA por sus siglas en ingles) y el Proyecto los Estudiantes Votan (SVP por sus siglas en ingles), que ayudan a fomentar una cultura de votación. La campaña MVMH™ se basa en estos esfuerzos y trabaja para aumentar la participación electoral, enfatizando la conexión entre el compromiso cívico y la salud.
Financiada por La Fundación de California (TCE por sus siglas en ingles), Mi Voto. Mi Salud.™ busca aumentar la participación electoral en todo el estado, trabajando en colaboración con AltaMed Health Services y la Asociación de Atención Primaria de California (CPCA por sus siglas en ingles). La campaña se está expandiendo en todo el estado e involucrando a comunidades en los condados de Orange, Santa Clara, Sonoma, San Diego, Fresno y Los Ángeles.
La campaña Mi Voto. Mi Salud.™ es más que votar; es dar a las personas el conocimiento y los recursos para ejercer sus derechos y construir el futuro que desean. La relación entre la votación y la salud es clara: las comunidades más saludables son aquellas en las que la gente participa cívicamente. En marzo, MVMH™ alcanzo a más de 220,000 pacientes de centros de salud, 10,000 miembros del personal y 140,000 votantes.
A medida que se acercan las elecciones generales del 5 de noviembre, todavía hay tiempo para hacer la diferencia. Anime a amigos y familiares a verificar su estado de votante visitando la página voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/es
Recuerde, su voto es su voz y su salud. Úselo para crear el futuro que desea.

CA TRIBES ASK NEWSOM TO SIGN BILL ON CO-MANAGEMENT OF LANDS, WATERS
Indigenous leaders are asking California Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign a bill that would allow federally recognized tribes to sign agreements with the state to comanage and co-govern ancestral lands and waters. Assembly Bill 1284 unanimously passed both houses of the state Legislature this week.
Scott Sullivan is vice chairman of the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation.
"This is going to allow us to deepen our relationship on a government-to-government level, it'll give us better access to our traditional ancestral territories to improve the environment and to reconnect our people to the land," he said.
Tribes hope the bill will strengthen shared decision-making around the new YurokTolowa Dee-ni' Indigenous Marine Stewardship Area - which covers the coastline three miles out - from the mouth of the Little River in Humboldt County up to the California-Oregon border.
Fawn Murphy, chair of the Pulikla Tribe of Yurok People, said the tribes want to promote biodiversity and reverse erosion and environmental degradation.
"As these devastating climate impacts are coming and things are changing so rapidly, we need to bring it back to what works. California tribal people have been practicing traditional ecological knowledge since time immemorial," Murphy explained.
The tribes also seek input into future offshore wind projects in the area. The bill is also intended to help California meet its goal of preserving 30 percent of the state's land and waters by 2030.
TRIBUS DE CALIFORNIA PIDEN A NEWSOM QUE FIRME UN PROYECTO DE LEY SOBRE COGESTIÓN DE TIERRAS Y AGUAS
Líderes
indígenas están pidiendo al gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, que firme un proyecto de ley que permitiría a las tribus reconocidas a nivel federal firmar acuerdos con el estado para coadministrar y cogobernar tierras y aguas ancestrales. El Proyecto de Ley 1284 de la Asamblea fue aprobado por unanimidad por ambas cámaras de la Legislatura estatal esta semana.
Scott Sullivan es vicepresidente de Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation.
"Esto nos permitirá profundizar nuestra relación a nivel de gobierno-gobierno, nos dará un mejor acceso a nuestros territorios ancestrales tradicionales para mejorar el medio ambiente y reconectar a nuestra gente con la tierra", dijo.
Las tribus esperan que el proyecto de ley fortalezca la toma de decisiones compartida en torno a la nueva Área de Administración Marina Indígena Yurok-Tolowa Dee-ni', que cubre la costa a tres millas de distancia, desde la desembocadura del Little River en el condado de Humboldt hasta la frontera entre California y Oregon.
Fawn Murphy, presidenta de la tribu Pulikla del pueblo Yurok, dijo que las tribus quieren promover la biodiversidad y revertir la erosión y la degradación ambiental.
"A medida que se avecinan estos impactos climáticos devastadores y las cosas cambian tan rápidamente, debemos volver a lo que funciona. Los pueblos tribales de California han estado practicando conocimientos ecológicos tradicionales desde tiempos inmemoriales", explicó Murphy.
Las tribus también buscan aportaciones para futuros proyectos de energía eólica marina en la zona. El proyecto de ley también tiene como objetivo ayudar a California a cumplir su objetivo de preservar el 30 por ciento de la tierra y las aguas del estado para 2030.

Una California sin la Industria del Tabaco ya comenzó.
Hace 30 años era normal fumar en todas partes. Desde restaurantes y bares, hasta playas y parques.
¿Quién hubiera imaginado que eliminar el humo del tabaco de estos lugares sería posible?
¿O que hoy podríamos vivir en edificios libres de humo y vapes?
Cada vez que respiramos aire libre de humo de tabaco los californianos probamos que podemos derrotar a la Industria del Tabaco.
De hecho, ya hay dos ciudades en California que acabaron con su venta.
Una California sin el daño del tabaco no solo es posible… ya comenzó.
