WITHOUT COMMUNICATION OF A ‘VISIONARY FUTURE’ THE PEOPLE WILL LANGUISH Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

omeone shared with me a quote by Simon Sinek, “Leadership is a way of thinking, a way of acting and, most importantly, a way of communicating.” The King James Bible states that, “Without (leaders communicating) a vison (of their future) the people will perish.” The featured speakers of last Friday’s La Raza Roundtable monthly meeting were Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (Democrat; Congressional District 19) and San Jose City Council member Raul Peralez (SJ-District 3). After 26 years of service as an elected official, I projected that at this meeting Congress member Zoe Lofgren was going to endorse Raul Peralez as an appropriate 'replacement elected official' for Congressional District 19. Not so! Zoe is campaigning to be Congressional District 19's continuing re-elected official (first elected 1992). The D-19 constituents need to seriously consider the selection of her successor. Zoe Lofgren was able to communicate many actions undertaken which served D-19's constituency and the nation. The most important Congressional legislation needed by the Latinx community did not occur. While many individuals who were undocumented were assisted, the reality remains that the very essential “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act 2019” was not debated nor enacted. Zoe's previous profession involved working in immigration law.

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

The Congressional District 19 constituents, especially its Latinx cohort, needs to understand that too many American employers are benefitting from the 11.5 million undocumented (of which an estimated 5.5 million are Latinx) will never be given some form of legal status. That will never be enacted because that skilled labor pool can be employed at substandard wage levels which provides low labor costs for those who employ (and exploit) those undocumented individuals. Keep in mind that undocumented skilled labor has no legal status anywhere in America. Their skills may be exploited at salary/wage levels which do not conform with the usual and customary wage/ salary levels. Nor does this undocumented cohort have any way to benefit from union collective bargaining authority and powers. This cohort does not possess that union authority at all. Those who benefit are in a position to continue to fund Congressional lobbyists at just the right levels to thwart any U.S. Congressional enactment of legislation which, at the minimum, would establish some level of legal status. That will not happen during the current Republican Trump Administration. Is this an opportunity for someone, preferably, a Latinx to challenge the re-election of Zoe Lofgren? Yes, it does exist. And understand that every elected member of the U.S. Congress somehow becomes a millionaire as an outcome of the lobbyists who represent their special interests. Meanwhile, this Latinx community continues to be 'kept in its place, on its knees'. It was Emiliano Zapata who declared that It is better

to die standing on one's feet and putting up a righteous struggle for equity and prosperity, than to live a life groveling on one's knees compliantly and subserviently. The times call for change because the Latinx millennial youth's future best interests are not being promoted by the current status quo. And, understand that the Latinx registered voters exist in sufficient numbers to support this 'change in leadership'. First, they must decide to register to vote, learn about public policy issues which impact their lives; and then vote in their own best interests. Furthermore, understand that several qualified Latinx elected officials already exist. The collective vote of local Latinx individuals coupled with supportive Anglo-liberals would suffice to elect a new replacement member of the U.S. Congress representing District 19. I project that individual will become the next millionaire member of the U.S. Congress within his/her first 2 years of service as an elected official. It would be good to have this new U.S. Congress person come from the local Latinx community. One behavioral habit of Latinx individuals must be set to one side, that is to not focus on the deficiencies of nominated Latinx’s; but rather focus on the many points of supportive agreements, values, and principals. Just think of the advantages of being represented by 'one of our own' rather than a liberal progressive Anglo-Saxon. Check out the demographics by going to the data base available at the Registrar of Voters, County of Santa Clara, phone 408-82803003. A prepared candidate is probably already a youthful millennial Latinx. Your

thoughtfully

considered

vote may change the current status quo which has existed unchanged during the past 33 years I have monitored local political issues. I project that the youthful Latinx registered voter is more likely to vote in his/her best interests and not be swayed by local unions and established stakeholders. But this transition of authority, power, and influence will not happen without some effort (which will not require a huge political budget because of available capability to communicate using Facebook, YouTube, and other social media networks. The Democratic process (one person: one vote) permits peaceful transition of power, authority and influence. To be successful, grassroots efforts are required and are best organized now. Phone the Registrar of Voters office for consultation regarding schedules and deadlines (first examine the Registrar of Voters, County of Sana Clara website). Count on EO's supportive actions but be willing to ask your supporters to donate $20 per person to El Observador Foundation, Inc. (used to train reporters, investigative reporters, writers, and journalists). All funds received since 1986 have been re-invested in our community in a variety of ways and for a variety of purposes. Raul Peralez, San Jose City Council member, District 3, reported that he had watched the City of San Jose annual budget process now for two cycles and realized that the Mayor and City Manager negotiated the majority of adjustments. The City Council only dealt with a 'few million dollars' of budgetary decisions while the entire budget of the City of San Jose totaled some $6.7 billion per year. Peralez is concerned about equity.

RACISMO ECOLÓGICO

a crisis del cambio climático se perfila a convertirse en uno de los ejes matrices de la campaña presidencial del 2020 en los Estados Unidos. Es uno de los grandes temas nacionales que exhibe la más clara diferenciación entre la veintena de aspirantes presidenciales demócratas y el presidente Donald Trump. No sólo el presidente estadounidense se enorgulleció con su decisión de abandonar el Acuerdo de Paris de Cambio Climático, y de promover el regreso a la economía del carbón, sino que ha ignorado de manera consistente a la comunidad científica global en sus evaluaciones del impacto de la actividad humana en el calentamiento global. En contraste, los aspirantes demócratas abordaron, durante un reciente debate, un aspecto de la crisis climática al que no se le ha dedicado suficiente atención: el desproporcional impacto de la contaminación sobre las comunidades latina y afroamericana, en especial.

Por comparación, los blancos no-hispanos están expuestos a 17% menos aire contaminado

The community will benefit and become involved when more meetings such as this one held last August 26th happen. A needed feature is to include discussion panels and establish a topic of interest system which most effectively informs the Latinx community to enable it to speak up in its own best interests. That may be a challenge for those who are used to determining the agenda for all of us to consider. Our local democratic process must become totally transparent and accessible. For too long a self-selected oligarchy has assumed leadership authority without having developed electorate support. Our local Democratic process requires that the truthful facts pertaining to all issues be available and accessible to all stakeholders, not just those who are members of existing oligarchies.

que el que producen. Todo lo cual lleva a la pregunta sobre si la crisis climática refleja una especie de racismo ecológico.

Es una evaluación compartida por su rival por la nominación, Pete Buttigieg: “No es coincidencia que los niños negros padezcan más asma que los blancos. Algunas comunidades fueron empujadas intencionalmente a barrios cercanos a fuentes de contaminación”. Es decir que Estados Unidos tiene una deuda histórica con las comunidades vulnerables que debe reparar. Se trata de una injusticia ecológica que no debe perderse de vista en el gran debate nacional del cambio climático. Su solución implica generar conciencia pública del problema y los recursos para ofrecer alivio a los afectados.

being distributed in a manner that is fair and equitable? This will become evident when Peralez and his elected colleagues effectively help each other with the efforts needed to reveal if City taxes (which fund all budget projects) are being fairly and equitably allocated (used and distributed). Peralez is the first Latino to ask this kind of question, and he will need the involved support of his colleagues and the entire Latinx community. EO asked Raul Peralez to keep this publication and its op-ed columnist informed.

Estados Unidos, el mayor contaminador del planeta, es ahora un paria ecológico, pero tiene la oportunidad de reparar esa injusticia histórica hacia las minorías y ser el líder global en el combate al cambio climático… aunque para ello se requiera una elección presidencial.

have to prove that contract workers are not doing work central to the business.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. – Uber and Lyft drivers and their allies in the labor movement are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign a bill – AB 5 – passed Wednesday September 11, that reclassifies tens of thousands of contract workers as employees. The measure could give the employees access to minimum wage guarantees, unemployment insurance and worker's compensation. Edan Alva, a Lyft driver and activist with the group Gig Workers Rising, says right now the multi-billion dollar companies' business model depends on the constant availability of drivers, but workers make nothing while they're waiting for a gig. "That is just Lyft and Uber directly benefiting from non-paid labor of drivers,” he stresses. “In order to resolve it, they need to pay for the time when people are waiting for the rides." The law sets up a test whereby companies will

Uber's CEO said Wednesday he will press that claim and refuses to reclassify contract workers as employees. Companies also are planning a ballot measure next year that would gut AB 5. Alva says the next step would be to form a driver's union to argue for things such as better coverage in case of a traffic accident on the job. "I suspect that Lyft and Uber will do everything they can to prevent fair conditions from drivers still,” he states. “And therefore, we are adamant in our pursuit of the ability to organize to negotiate with Lyft and Uber and prevent them continuing to step all over us." Right now gig workers are still considered contractors under federal employment rules. So in order to have the right to form a union, the California State Legislature would need to pass a bill next year giving the workers explicit permission to do so.

ACRAMENTO, California Los conductores de Uber y Lyft y sus aliados en el movimiento laboral están instando al gobernador Gavin Newsom a firmar un proyecto de ley, AB 5, aprobado el miércoles 11 de septiembre, que reclasifica a decenas de miles de trabajadores contratados como empleados. La medida podría dar a los empleados acceso a garantías de salario mínimo, seguro de desempleo y compensación laboral. Edan Alva, conductor de Lyft y activista del grupo Gig Workers Rising, dice que en este momento el modelo comercial de las compañías multimillonarias depende de la disponibilidad constante de conductores, pero los trabajadores no ganan nada mientras esperan un concierto. "Eso es solo que Lyft y Uber se benefician directamente del trabajo no remunerado de los conductores", enfatiza. "Para resolverlo, deben pagar el momento en que las personas esperan los viajes". La ley establece una prueba por la cual las empresas tendrán que demostrar que los trabajadores por contrato no están haciendo un

trabajo central para el negocio. El CEO de Uber dijo el miércoles que presionará ese reclamo y se niega a reclasificar a los trabajadores contratados como empleados. Las compañías también están planeando una medida de votación el próximo año que destriparía a AB 5. Alva dice que el siguiente paso sería formar un sindicato de conductores para discutir cosas como una mejor cobertura en caso de un accidente de tráfico en el trabajo. "Sospecho que Lyft y Uber harán todo lo posible para evitar condiciones justas para los conductores", afirma. "Y, por lo tanto, estamos firmes en nuestra búsqueda de la capacidad de organizarnos para negociar con Lyft y Uber y evitar que continúen pásate por encima de nosotros ". En este momento, los trabajadores de conciertos todavía se consideran contratistas según las normas federales de empleo. Entonces, para tener el derecho de formar un sindicato, la Legislatura del Estado de California necesitaría aprobar un proyecto de ley el próximo año que les da a los trabajadores permiso explícito para hacerlo.

SAN JOSE SHARKS ANNOUNCE NEW TEAM CAPTAIN AND ALTERNATE CAPTAINS San Jose Sharks / sjsharks.com

Burns, 34, led the Sharks in scoring last season with 83 points (16 goals, 67 assists), marking the first time a Sharks defenseman has reached the 80-point threshold and the most points by a defenseman since Brian Leetch's 85-point season in 1995-96. He led NHL defensemen in assists and points last year and ranked sixth in goals. Burns achieved his 1,000th career NHL game on Dec. 27, 2018 vs. Anaheim and set a franchise-best nine-game point streak by a blueliner. Burns is entering his 16th NHL season and ninth with the Sharks.

AN JOSE, CA - San Jose Sharks Head Coach Peter DeBoer announced September 12 that Logan Couture has been named the tenth captain in Sharks franchise history. Along with Couture, Brent Burns, Tomas Hertl, Erik Karlsson and Joe Thornton will each serve as alternate captains. "Since I arrived in San Jose four seasons ago, we have been blessed with a tremendous amount of leadership on our roster," said DeBoer. "Logan has grown up within that environment and evolved into someone who not only plays his best hockey when it matters the most, but who also leads by example off the ice. He knows what it takes to win and his performance in our recent playoff runs reflects that. Most importantly, Logan has the respect of his teammates and we're extremely proud to name him as the tenth captain of the San Jose Sharks." Couture, 30, enters his 11th season as a member of the Sharks after being selected in the first round (9th overall) by San Jose in the 2007 NHL Draft. The centerman registered a career-best 70 points (27 goals, 43 assists) last season, finishing second on the team in assists and third in points. In the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Couture led all skaters in goals with 14, despite playing six fewer games than the second and third place finishers. He also completed the playoff run with 20 points, compiling 101 career playoff points over the first ten years of his career, which ranks fourth among skaters since the 2010 postseason. His 48 goals in that span are second-most among NHL skaters, two behind Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.

FARM â&#x20AC;&#x2122; T E K E R S MA R Couture has skated in 663 career games for San Jose, compiling 507 points (240 goals, 267 assists) and ranks fourth in goals and points, fifth in assists, and sixth in games played on the franchise's all-time list. Over the course of his career, the six-foot-one, 200-pound center was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 2010-11 after scoring 32 goals and finished second in the Calder Trophy ballot. He also represented San Jose in the 2012 All-Star game and is a two-time Sharks Player of the Year (2011-12; 2017-18). Couture served as captain of the Ottawa 67's in his final season in the Ontario Hockey League (2008-09). "We have a great blend of talent and experience among these four players who will support Logan as alternate captains," said DeBoer. "Two of these players are previous captains themselves and we feel this group is a reflection of our team's identity and their leadership will be counted on both on the ice and in the community."

Hertl, 25, set career highs in goals (35), assists (39) and points (74) in 2018-19 and finished second among Sharks skaters in goals and points. Hertl reached the 30goal threshold for the first time in his career, being one of four Sharks to register at least 30 goals last season. He also became the second Shark in franchise history to collect two hat-tricks in a single calendar month, scoring three goals on Jan. 15, 2019 vs. Pittsburgh and Jan. 22, 2019 against the Washington Capitals in a come-frombehind 7-6 overtime win.

Karlsson, 29, enters his second season with San Jose. He appeared in 53 games, recording 45 points (three goals, 45 assists) and ranked second among Sharks skaters in assists and was ninth (tied) in assists among NHL blueliners. Karlsson became the fifth defenseman in NHL history to record at least one assist in 14 consecutive appearances and his eight-game assist streak from Dec. 7-22, 2018 was one shy of the Sharks franchise record. Thornton, 40, enters his 22nd season in the National Hockey League and 15th as a member of the Sharks. After missing nine of the first 11 games in 2018-19, Thornton skated in the final 71 contests and compiled 51 points (16 goals, 35 assists) with a pluseight rating. Thornton climbed the NHL record books through the campaign, and completed the season eighth on the NHL's all-time assist list, 12th on the all-time games played list and 14th on the all-time points list, passing several Hall-of-Famers including Nicklas Lidstrom, Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman, Marcel Dionne, Teemu Selanne and Stan Mikita. Thornton also became the seventh player in NHL history to score 400 goals, collect 1,000 assists and skate in 1,500 NHL games after scoring the game-winning goal on Nov. 13, 2018 vs. Nashville. Previous Sharks captains include: Doug Wilson (1991-1993), Bob Errey (1995-1995), Jeff Odgers (1995-1996), Todd Gill (19961998), Owen Nolan (1998-2003), Patrick Marleau (2004-2009), Rob Blake (2019-10), Joe Thornton (2010-2014), Joe Pavelski (2015-2019).

BPT

oxicodona, la hidrocodona y la morfina. Los médicos recetan opioides después de una cirugía o para lesiones. Sin embargo, estos medicamentos pueden tener graves riesgos si se usan de manera indebida sea de forma accidental o a propósito.

ome things in your medicine cabinet are more dangerous than others. When it comes to prescription drugs, opioid pain medicines can be addictive and even deadly. Do you have unused prescription opioids in your home? Keeping unused prescription opioids is risky and can result in overdose and death in children, teens, and even pets.

¿Por qué es importante para usted y su familia deshacerse de los opioides?

More than 100 Americans die every day from overdoses involving opioids, and millions are addicted to opioids. The Remove the Risk campaign from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides easy-to-follow steps that any adult can take to immediately remove unused prescription opioids from their homes and help save lives. What is a prescription opioid? Prescription opioids are powerful pain-reducing medicines; they include oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, and others. Doctors prescribe opioids after surgeries and for injuries; however, these medicines can have serious risks if they are accidentally or intentionally misused. Why is opioid disposal important for you and your family? Many people who misuse prescription opioids say that they got them from a friend or relative. Your friends or casual visitors may seek opioids and find your unused medicines in your cabinets or drawers. Curious kids and teens may explore medicines in your home and accidentally or intentionally take them. Research shows that even child-resistant containers cannot prevent a child from taking medicines not meant for them. Prevent potential misuse by removing unused opioids from your home, especially if children or teens live with or visit you.

Photo Credit: BPT plastic bag; * Throw away the container in your trash at home; and * Remove all personal information on the prescription label of empty medicine bottles or medicine packaging, then trash or recycle the empty bottle or packaging. To find out more about these disposal methods and which one is right for you, visit www.FDA.gov/ DrugDisposal. Tips to keep your family safe. 1: Don't share your opioid prescription with others. 2: Store opioids out of sight and out of reach of kids and teens in your home. 3: Dispose of unused opioids safely when there is no longer a medical need for them.

What can you do right now? You can protect your family and be part of the solution to the opioid crisis. Go through your medicine cabinets and drawers - anywhere you keep unused opioid pills, patches, or syrups. Dispose of them safely by visiting www.FDA.gov/ DrugDisposal to find answers to these questions: 1. Is a medicine take-back option readily available? Medicine take-back options are the preferred way to dispose of most types of unneeded medicines safely, including opioids. Authorized locations may be in retail pharmacies, hospital or clinic pharmacies, and law enforcement facilities. Some authorized collection sites may also offer mail-back programs or "drop-boxes" to help people safely dispose of their unused medicines. 2. If not, is the medicine on the FDA "flush list"? The FDA flush list tells you which medicines you should flush when they are no longer needed. Medicines on this flush list may be especially harmful and, in some cases, fatal with just one dose if they are used by someone other than the person for whom they were prescribed. 3. Can you throw it away in household trash? If no medicine take-back option is available, and the medication is not on the FDA flush list, you can: * Mix medicines with an unappealing substance such as dirt, cat litter, or used coffee grounds; * Place the mixture in a container such as a sealed

Muchas personas que usan indebidamente los opioides recetados aseguran que los obtuvieron de un amigo o familiar. Sus amigos o algún visitante ocasional en su hogar podrían estar en busca de opioides y podrían encontrar los que le sobraron en sus botiquines y cajones.

EARTHTALK Q&A: GREENER SCHOOL BUSES? Dear EarthTalk: I’ve heard that school buses cause a lot of pollution, especially for the kids riding inside. Is anyone making greener school buses yet? -- Jake McConnell, Philadelphia, PA

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss Earth Talk

would be replacing old buses with new, more efficient all-electric models. But few school districts can justify the $300,000 price tag to replace perfectly functional older diesel buses. That didn’t stop the school district in White Plains, New York, though, which purchased five electric buses last year with financial help from the local utility, Consolidated Edison, and a grant from the state.

ow that school is back in session, those big yellow diesel-fueled school buses are all over the roads again. While they’re relatively safe—and definitely old school—they’re also big polluters, chugging along at 4-6 miles to the gallon while creating a cloud of harmful airborne pollutants. According to the non-profit Clean Air Trust (CAT), some 25 million American kids travelling on half a million school buses every day are exposed to five to 15 times more air toxins than the rest of us. “Those buses travel more than four billion miles each year and these kids spend three billion hours on [them],” reports the group. “About 90 percent of these buses run on diesel fuel, annually emitting 3,000 tons of cancer-causing soot and 95,000 tons of smog-causing compounds.” If you don’t think all that pollution is having a negative effect, think again. A March 2019 study from researchers at Georgia State University found that students did significantly better on standardized English tests and marginally better in math when they spent their commutes riding in school buses retrofitted to reduce emissions by 95 percent as compared to students riding in non-upgraded buses. The

researchers conclude that “engine retrofits can have meaningful and cost-effective impacts on health and cognitive functioning.” Luckily the retrofits are easy to come by and relatively inexpensive, especially when you factor in the costs of health care to treat sick kids, not to mention the price tag for raising kids’ test scores in other ways. Retrofitting 10 percent of the average school district’s bus fleet in Georgia, for instance, would cost less than $100,000, a drop in the bucket of the state’s

$10.6 billion K-12 public schools budget. And beginning in October 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set aside $9 million to help pay for upgrading older diesel school buses nationwide. School districts and other public agencies charged with transporting school kids can apply for rebates of up to $20,000 per bus to help cover the retrofits on up to 10 individual buses. Retrofitting is a great start, but even better

These outside contributions helped bring the final cost to the school district down to something along the lines of buying new diesel buses. While ConEd gets the benefit of good public relations and good karma, it also gets to use the buses during the summer as excess electricity storage that can be moved around to where it’s needed most (when the air conditioners are blazing). White Plains is hoping other school districts across the country will follow a similar model to clean up their acts.

EXLEGISLADOR DEMÓCRATA PREDICE QUE JÓVENES LATINOS DESBANCARÁN A TRUMP ESPAÑOL

ENGLISH

EFE

cized several presidents, including Democrat Barack Obama, for not doing enough in the way of immigration reform.

hicago - El exlegislador demócrata Luis Gutiérrez predice que una revolución pacífica de jóvenes votantes hispanos, con el apoyo de otros votantes cansados de los comentarios y medidas racistas del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump, evitará que el magnate republicano sea reelegido en 2020.

The former congressman currently travels around the United States campaigning for Los Nuevos Americanos (The New Americans) movement, which seeks to add a million new voters to the Hispanic electorate by the time the next election rolls around in November 2020.

"Mientras más habla Trump contra los inmigrantes y las medidas más crueles e inhumanas que adopta todos los días, más votantes unirán fuerzas contra él", dijo Gutiérrez a EFE en una entrevista telefónica desde Puerto Rico, donde se estableció después de retirarse del Congreso de Estados Unidos.

The main problem facing Hispanics in becoming naturalized is economic, he said, "because they are large families that often can't meet the costs." "But we are going to obtain that million," he said about the number that will be added by 2020 to the at least three million young voters already qualified, "if we count the 800,000 young people who turn 18 every year and wish to become part of the nation's political life," Gutierrez said.

Gutiérrez y su esposa se mudaron en abril pasado de Chicago al municipio puertorriqueño de Vega Alta, donde participan en trabajos de reconstrucción en la isla y participan activamente en la política local. Durante los 26 años que representó al 4to distrito del Congreso de Illinois, Gutiérrez fue uno de los principales defensores de los inmigrantes y criticó duramente a varios presidentes, incluido el demócrata Barack Obama, por no hacer lo suficiente en el camino de la reforma migratoria. El excongresista actualmente viaja por los Estados Unidos haciendo campaña para el movimiento Los Nuevos Americanos, que busca agregar un millón de nuevos votantes al electorado hispano para cuando llegue la próxima elección en noviembre de 2020. El principal problema que enfrentan los hispanos para naturalizarse es económico, dijo, "porque son familias numerosas que a menudo no pueden cubrir los costos". "Pero vamos a obtener ese millón", dijo sobre el número que se agregará para 2020 a los al menos tres millones de votantes jóvenes ya calificados, "si contamos a los 800,000 jóvenes que cumplen 18 años cada año y desean convertirse en parte de la Fair El Obs - PRINT.pdf vida políticaClassified de la naciónJob ", dijo Gutiérrez. Con esos jóvenes adultos, el movimiento espera

Los mensajes entre Rosello y los miembros de su círculo íntimo incluyeron al menos un comentario en broma sobre las víctimas del huracán María que devastó a Puerto Rico en 2017 y cobró más de 3.000 vidas. "Participé en esas marchas y fui una excepción, porque los que me rodeaban que encabezaban las protestas eran jóvenes de menos de 25 años que nunca antes habían hablado así", dijo Gutiérrez. El actual comentarista político en la red de noticias CNN dijo que comparar a Rosello con Trump es váli1 do 8/7/19 11:19 porque son dos AM políticos cuya actitud y comentarios "causan reacciones tan negativas que movilizan a las personas contra ellos".

hicago - Former Democratic lawmaker Luis Gutierrez predicts that a peaceful revolution of young Hispanic voters, supported by other voters tired of the racist comments and measures of US President Donald Trump, will keep the Republican magnate from being reelected in 2020. "The more Trump talks against immigrants and the more cruel, inhuman measures he enacts every day, the more voters will join forces against him," Gutierrez told EFE in a telephone interview from Puerto Rico, where he settled after retiring from the US Congress. Gutierrez and his wife moved last April from Chicago to the Puerto Rican municipality of Vega Alta, where they take part in works of reconstruction on the island and are active in local politics. During the 26 years that he represented the 4th congressional district of Illinois, Gutierrez was one of the main defenders of immigrants and harshly criti-

With those young adults, the movement hopes to spark a "peaceful revolution" in the same way it forced the recent resignation of Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rosello, assailed by a wave of protests after a chat came to light in which he made homophobic, misogynist and insulting remarks against political rivals, singers and journalists. The messages between Rosello and members of his inner circle included at least one joking remark about the victims of Hurricane Maria that devastated Puerto Rico in 2017 and took more than 3,000 lives. "I took part in those marches and I was an exception, because the ones around me who were leading the protests were young people less than 25 years old who had never before spoken out like that," Gutierrez said. The current political commentator on the CNN news network said that comparing Rosello with Trump is valid because they are two politicians whose attitude and remarks "cause such negative reactions that they mobilize people against them."

NEW UCLA STUDY – STATE MAKES PROGRESS ON GOAL TO GUARANTEE WATER AS A HUMAN RIGHT

Mark Hedin Ethnic Media Services

2012, California became the first state in the country to declare that “Every human being has the right to safe, clean, affordable and accessible water” when the state legislature inserted that statement into its state water code. Now, a new UCLA study (https://tinyuri.com/UCLAProp1study) finds, the state may be making progress on turning that goal into a reality. “From the start, the challenge was to meet the needs of some one million Californians who lacked access to clean, safe, reliable drinking water,” says Jon Christensen, the author of the study. “Their tap water was -- and largely remains -- contaminated by nitrates from agricultural pollution, perchlorate from industrial pollution and other toxics such as arsenic. “Small, rural community water systems reliant on groundwater and lacking a connection to a water treatment plant are particularly at risk,” he adds. But then came Prop. 1 in 2014. As drought conditions ravaged the state, voters surpassed the required two-thirds majority threshold to approve a $7.1 billion water bond measure, which included special provisions to earmark funds for the

most water-challenged communities. The measure did not arrive without criticisms, such as that it was fiscally irresponsible and favored interests such as corporate farmers over communities that most needed help. But in August of 2014, when the state legislature voted to include Prop. 1 on the Nov. 4 ballot, only two members of the state Assembly opposed it, and it was unanimously approved by the state Senate. A new study by the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability on Prop. 1 concludes the state “is meeting or exceeding the explicit goals for funding improvements in disadvantaged communities.” Those are defined as ones where the annual median household income is less than $49,181, which is 80% of the statewide median household income of $61,488. Forty-two percent of California families fit that description, and a third of the state’s population lives in communities where more than half of the households are in that lower economic bracket. “When you prioritize equity, funding does go to the disadvantaged communities that most need it,” Christensen says. Many of these areas, he added,

Residents of East Porterville (Tulare County), lived with severe drinking water problems for years until a connection to the city of Porterville was finally made in 2016 with $25 million in funding provided by the state's Prop. 1, enacted in 2014.

that funding lacks specific guidelines about who it is intended to help.

By way of example, the study notes, 31% of the $2.5 billion allocated assigned to projects so far -- $793 million – has gone to projects serving disadvantaged communities.

The state needs to be more cognizant of the fact that not all communities are the same in their ability to access state funding procedures, the report states.

Where the mandate of prioritizing the most waterchallenged communities was not included in the state’s spending choices, it is often unclear how much disadvantaged communities and households benefited, the study found. Of $395 million for flood management, for example, less than 1% was addressed to communities in need. Nor have they benefited from the allocation of $2.7 billion for water storage projects. But those projects do serve some 23 million Californians, including many disadvantaged households, and 750,000 acres of agriculture. The report recommends better clarity in the future about whom any state project is intended to benefit. And it encourages more emphasis on “technical assistance” – training, guidance and hands-on help in preparing plans and grant applications. Larger cities and communities can support staff specifically skilled in environmental planning, compiling grant proposals and the like, and thus can arrive sooner and better prepared when spending decisions are being made. By the time a less affluent community can make its needs and proposals heard, the money may already be spoken for, particularly if

By late 2018, the state’s Department of Water Resources had approved 515 technical assistance requests, including 415 for drinking water projects, but it had already spent most of its funding in that category. This shows the importance of ongoing funding so that those projects can be implemented in the future. Polling shows strong support in California for future bond measures to support water supply and quality, along with wildfire protection and natural resources restoration. The UCLA study aims to inform future planning for such projects. “Prop. 1 represents a watershed in funding for infrastructure and environmental projects in California,” Christensen said. “This commitment to funding projects in disadvantaged communities that have not historically gotten these investments needs to continue. “Together with the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund, approved by the state this summer, it represents a large step forward. But we will need ongoing funding to ensure that all Californians have access to clean, safe drinking water, along with the other environmental benefits that water provides.”

NUEVO ESTUDIO DE UCLA: EL ESTADO AVANZA HACIA SU META DE GARANTIZAR EL AGUA COMO UN DERECHO HUMANO

Mark Hedin Ethnic Media Services

vorecidos, y 750,000 acres de agricultura. El informe recomienda una mayor claridad en el futuro sobre quiénes serán los beneficiarios de cualquier proyecto estatal. Y fomenta un mayor énfasis en la "asistencia técnica": formación, orientación y ayuda práctica en la preparación de planes y solicitudes de subvenciones.

n 2012, California se convirtió en el primer estado del país en declarar que "todo ser humano tiene derecho a tener agua segura, limpia, asequible y accesible" cuando la legislatura estatal incluyó esa declaración en su código estatal de aguas.

Las ciudades y comunidades más grandes pueden solventar personal específicamente capacitado en planificación ambiental, recopilación de propuestas de subvenciones, etc., y así pueden decidir antes y estar mejor preparadas al momento de tomar decisiones sobre gastos. En el caso de una comunidad menos afluente, para el momento en que pueda hacer que sus necesidades y propuestas sean escuchadas, es posible que ya se haya destinado el dinero para otros gastos, particularmente si ese financiamiento carece de directrices específicas sobre a quién se pretende ayudar.

Ahora, según un nuevo estudio de UCLA (https:// tinyuri.com/UCLAProp1study), es posible que el estado esté progresando para convertir esa meta en una realidad. "Desde el principio, el desafío ha sido satisfacer las necesidades de un millón de californianos que no tienen acceso a agua potable limpia, segura y confiable", dice Jon Christensen, autor del estudio. "El agua que sale del grifo estaba (y en gran parte aún continúa estando) contaminada por nitratos que resultan de la polución agrícola, el perclorato producido por la contaminación industrial y otros tóxicos, tales como el arsénico”. "Los sistemas de agua de pequeñas comunidades rurales que dependen de las aguas subterráneas y que carecen de conexión a una planta de tratamiento de agua están particularmente en peligro", añade. Pero luego vino la Proposición 1, en 2014. Cuando las condiciones de sequía devastaron el estado, los votantes superaron los dos tercios de votos que eran requeridos para aprobar una medida de bonos de agua por valor de $7,100 millones de dólares, que incluyen disposiciones especiales para destinar fondos a las comunidades más afectadas por la escasez de agua. Pero la medida también fue criticada, diciendo, por ejemplo, que fue fiscalmente irresponsable y favoreció los intereses de los agricultores corporativos sobre las comunidades que más necesitaban ayuda.

Los residentes de East Porterville, vivieron con graves problemas de agua potable durante años hasta que finalmente se estableció una conexión con la ciudad de Porterville en 2016 con 25 millones de dólares en fondos proporcionados por la Proposición 1 del estado, promulgada en 2014.

El Estado debe ser más consciente del hecho de que no todas las comunidades son iguales en su capacidad de acceder a los procedimientos de financiación estatal, según afirma el informe.

Pero en agosto de 2014, cuando la legislatura estatal votó para incluir la Proposición 1 en la boleta del 4 de noviembre, sólo dos miembros de la Asamblea estatal se opusieron a ella, y fue aprobada unánimemente por el Senado estatal.

El 42% de las familias de California encajan en esta descripción, y un tercio de la población del estado vive en comunidades donde más de la mitad de los hogares se encuentran en esa categoría económica inferior.

Un nuevo estudio del Instituto del Medio Ambiente y Sostenibilidad de UCLA sobre la Proposición 1 concluye que el estado "está cumpliendo o excediendo los objetivos explícitos para financiar mejoras en comunidades desfavorecidas".

"Cuando se da prioridad a la equidad, los fondos se destinan a las comunidades desfavorecidas que más los necesitan", dice Christensen. Muchas de estas áreas, agregó, están en el Valle Central, particularmente en el Valle de San Joaquín.

Tales comunidades se definen como aquellas en las que el ingreso familiar promedio anual es menor de $49,181, lo cual es el 80% del ingreso familiar promedio de $61,488 a nivel estatal.

A modo de ejemplo, el estudio señala que el 31% de los $2,500 millones de dólares asignados a proyectos hasta la fecha (es decir, $793 millones de dólares) se han destinado a proyectos que sirven a comunidades desfavorecidas.

Las encuestas muestran un fuerte apoyo, en California, a las futuras medidas de bonos para apoyar el suministro y la calidad del agua, junto con la protección contra incendios forestales y la restauración de los recursos naturales. El estudio de UCLA tiene como objetivo informar la planificación futura de tales proyectos.

Según lo que encontró el estudio, en los casos en que el mandato de dar prioridad a las comunidades con mayor escasez de agua no se incluyó en las opciones de gasto del estado, muchas veces no queda claro cuánto se beneficiaron las comunidades y los hogares desfavorecidos. Por ejemplo, de los $395 millones de dólares destinados a la prevención en caso de inundaciones, menos del 1% se destinó a las comunidades necesitadas. Tampoco se han beneficiado de la asignación de $2,700 millones de dólares para proyectos de almacenamiento de agua. Pero esos proyectos sirven a unos 23 millones de californianos, incluyendo muchos hogares desfa-

"Junto con el Fondo de Agua Potable Segura y Asequible, aprobado por el estado este verano, representa un gran paso adelante. Pero necesitaremos fondos continuos para asegurar que todos los californianos tengan acceso a agua potable limpia y segura, junto con otros beneficios ambientales que brinda el agua".

A finales de 2018, el Departamento de Recursos Hídricos del estado había aprobado 515 solicitudes de asistencia técnica, incluidas 415 para proyectos de agua potable, pero ya había gastado la mayor parte de sus fondos en esa categoría. Esto demuestra la importancia de la financiación continua para que esos proyectos puedan ser implementados en el futuro.

"La Proposición 1 representa un hito en el financiamiento de proyectos de infraestructura y ambientales en California", dijo Christensen. "Este compromiso de financiar proyectos en comunidades desfavorecidas que históricamente no han conseguido estas inversiones debe continuar”.
