políticos republica nos les encanta presumir ser miembros prominentes del Partido de los Valores Familiares, así con mayúsculas.

Es el mismo partido que en la pasa da administración puso en marcha la cruel e inhumana separación de familias migrantes, la misma que in staló alambres de púas y desplegó guardias nacionales en la frontera con México para bloquear el pedido de auxilio madres, padres y menores de edad huyendo del hambre, la violen cia o de gobiernos totalitarios.

Su más reciente artimaña política fue estelarizada por el gobernador del Partido Republicano, Ron DeSan tis, de Florida, quien en su afán por competir en el concurso de carencia de humanismo, envió con engaños y promesas falsas, a medio centenar de migrantes venezolanos desde Texas, no Florida, a la isla de Martha’s Vineyards, para “castigar” a los políti cos de estados demócratas.

No es la primera vez que la clase política explota a los inmigrantes --es pecialmente los migrantes color café con leche procedentes de América Latina. Los demócratas también lo han hecho con promesas falsas de reforma migratoria y se han acercado a nuestra comunidad tardíamente o cuando la necesitan para ganar elec ciones.

Pero las acciones de Ron DeSan tis y de su compadre texano Gregg Abbott, alcanzan un nuevo nivel de insensibilidad y falta de vergüenza. “Nuestros clientes fueron inducidos a abordar aviones y cruzar fronteras estatales con pretextos falsos. Var ias personas, en colaboración con el gobernador de Florida, hicieron nu merosas promesas falsas a nuestros clientes, incluidas oportunidades de trabajo, educación para sus hijos y asistencia de inmigración, para in ducirlos a viajar”, denunciaron los abogados de los venezolanos Law yers for Human Rights (LHR).

De hecho, los migrantes pensaban que se dirigían a un empleo en Bos ton y sólo se enteraron de que eran trasladados a Martha’s Vineyard, la exclusiva zona veraniega de políticos y personalidades, hasta que estaban en vuelo. Los abogados pidieron a la procuradora de Massachussets ini ciar una investigación criminal contra DeSantis. Pero ya se le adelantó el Sheriff de Bexar County en Texas, Ja vier Salazar, quien lo calificó como un abuso a los derechos humanos.

Cuando los migrantes llegaron a Mar tha’s Vineyard fueron recibidos con los brazos abiertos. Aunque sólo es tuvieron allí unas 44 horas, su caso fue un claro recordatorio que en algunos estados son bienvenidos y necesita dos. Varios de ellos sensibilizaron a los residentes de la isla, y a todo el país a través de la prensa, de la odisea per

sonal que representa huir de un país como Venezuela.

Ojalá que la artimaña de DeSantis tenga un costo político claro, o legal si violó la ley. Lo mismo que para Abbott, que ha gastado 12 millones enviando a migrantes a Washington, Nueva York o Chicago.

Hay una razón por la cual el número de venezolanos, cubanos y nica ragüenses aumentó 175%. Huyen de la pobreza y el totalitarismo. Ahora los votantes estadounidenses saben con claridad cómo los reciben los candi datos del partido de los valores famili ares, como peones explotables con fines políticos.

ManyRepublican politicians love to brag about being prominent members of the Family Values Party, capitalized like that.

It is the same party that in the last administration launched the cruel and inhumane separation of migrant families, the same one that installed barbed wire and deployed national guards on the border with Mexico to block mothers, fathers and minors from asking for help, those fleeing hunger, violence or totalitarian gov

His most recent political ruse was started by the governor of the Re publican Party, Ron DeSantis, from Florida, who in his eagerness to compete in the contest of lack of hu manism, sent with deceit and false promises, fifty Venezuelan migrants from Texas, not Florida, to the island of Martha's Vineyards, to “punish” politicians from Democratic states.

This is not the first time that the po litical class has exploited immigrants -- especially café-au-lait migrants from Latin America. The Democrats have also done it with false prom ises of immigration reform and have reached out to our community late or when they need it to win elections.

But the actions of Ron DeSantis and his Texan compadre Gregg Abbott reach a new level of callousness and shamelessness. “Our clients were lured into boarding planes and crossing state lines under false pre tenses. Several people, in collabo ration with the Governor of Florida, made numerous false promises to our clients, including job opportuni ties, education for their children and immigration assistance, to induce them to travel,” denounced the law yers of the Venezuelan Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR).

In fact, the migrants thought they were headed for a job in Boston and only found out they were being flown to Martha's Vineyard, the exclusive summer resort for politicians and personalities, until they were in flight. The attorneys asked the Massachu setts attorney general to launch a criminal investigation against DeSan tis. But the Sheriff of Bexar County in Texas, Javier Salazar, was already ahead of him, who described it as an abuse of human rights.

When the migrants arrived on Mar tha's Vineyard they were welcomed with open arms. Although they were only there for about 44 hours, their case was a stark reminder that in some states they are welcome and needed. Several of them sensitized the residents of the island, and later the entire country through the press, of the personal odyssey that fleeing from a country like Venezuela repre sents.

Hopefully DeSantis' ruse has a clear political cost, or a legal one if he broke the law. The same as for Ab bott, who has spent 12 million send ing migrants to Washington, New York and Chicago.

There is a reason why the number of Venezuelans, Cubans and Nica raguans increased 175%. They flee poverty and totalitarianism. It is now clear to American voters how the ‘Family Values Party’ candidates greet them as exploitable pawns for political gain.

Catsis one of the most recognizable musicals in Broadway history. Even if you have not watched the show, its music, or even its logo has crossed your eyes. Count less references to the show are found in pop culture, and its dis tinctive style is unmistakable.

Composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the record-setting show has played in over 30 countries and 15 languages.

The basic outline is that Cats is a musical about a group of special street felines, known as Jellicles, on a special night in their com munity. The show is essentially a cat revue, with the most iconic cats showing their talents and skills as they tell their stories and move along the narrative with their songs and dances.

José Raúl Mangual is an ac tor and dancer who is in his first touring production with the famed Broadway production. Mangual recently talked to us about his experience in working on the stage to the different cats he brings to life as a swing on the musical. Read along to hear about the different cats he plays, what it takes to put on the cat makeup and get on that stage, and his personal connections to the themes and songs of the show.

Cats is at San Jose Center for the Performing Arts from now until Sunday September 25th.

Hi Jose Raul, thanks for your time. First off, how did you get started in the performing arts and what was the thing that kind of inspired you to go into that field?

So I have been singing since I could make noise. There's a home video of me as a baby in the bathtub after I learned how to stand. I'm holding a tooth brush, I'm using it as a micro phone, and I'm singing some song that made sense to my ears at the time. And the first example of any sort of perfor mance in general was through church.

I was raised in the church. I grew up actually in a Pentacos tal Christian background, and it was a Puerto Rican Pentacostal Christian background. So that completes the characterization there. And I sang in church from a young age, and so it's natural that I would start studying choir in middle school.

But, yeah, I've always had an af finity for vocal instrumentation if you will. And I started my first [show] in 8th grade. A fellow choir member told me about this Christmas show that was happening at a theater in our hometown, which is Lancaster, Pennsylvania. And I auditioned for this show that what is called the American Music Theater.

And I was up there as one of those child vocal soloists, there were three of us.

So that was my first tiptoe into the world of professional vocal performance. And then my first organized musical was 13, the musical, and from there, fell in love with musical theater and actually Cats was the second musical that I ever did at the age of 14. And that was before I knew how to dance.

So now you're back to Cats

Yeah, back to Cats. And it's fun ny…I went to school for Musical Theater at Temple University, and after five years there, I was feeling like I needed something else to nourish my spirit besides musical theater. So I decided to focus on recording artistry and film, and television specifically. But the opportunity to audi tion for the show for this North American tour came into my lap out of the blue, and I wasn't go ing to do it, but my friend helped me open my eyes and was like, "you know, this is of all the musi cals, this is like the perfect musi cal for you."

So it was great that [my friend] encouraged me, because here I am, on my second leg of the tour!

You are a swing for the show. Can you tell me what you do and what roles you swing for?

Every swing has different tracks that they cover, some of them overlap, but the job of a swing in general is to be prepared to drop into any role at any time. So that could be you get, "hey, this person unfortunately has to at tend a funeral in three days, so you'll be covering until they re turn," so that is kind of the more advanced notice side of things. But then it could be mid show, someone, you know, feels nau seous, or has an injury and you have to get into makeup, in the costume and get on stage as quickly as you can and as seam lessly as possible. No one knows the difference.

So I currently cover five roles, and three of them are principals, two of them are the ensemble roles. But the amazing thing about Cats is almost all of the cats are on stage for the major ity of the show.

The Cats that I cover are the Rum Tum Tugger, who is rec ognizable for having leather and chains and the big lion mane, and then you have Munkustrap, who is the narrator character, and he's next in line to lead the Jellicle tribe. And then the third principle that I cover is Old Deu teronomy and Old Deuteronomy is the current leader of the tribe.

He has lived many lives in suc cession. So you hear about cats with nine lives. He's one who has lived at least nine, if not maybe more, it's unclear, but he's been around longer than any of the other Jellicles.

I also cover Plato/Macavity, who on one side, you have a cat with a charming personality who falls in love with Victoria the White Cat, and they awaken to the sensuality of being a full adult cat. But then on the other side of Plato is, and this is technically still the same cat, is Macavity, who is an evil cat. He is the nemesis of the tribe.

Most people believe that he was once a Jellicle himself, but he has since resorted to stealing cats, mostly women cats, and sometimes they don't return. So he's traumatized several mem bers of the tribe, including Griza bella, who is one of the most memorable cats in the show.

Then my fifth cat I cover is Co ricopat. He is a telepathic twin cat. So he is ageless in a way. He's just a tad bit younger than Old Deuteronomy and both do a lot of lifts in the show, so press ing women above our heads, or teaming up with another cat to throw them in the air or things like that.

You guys wear the costumes, accessories, all that stuff. Can you tell me a little bit about that side of it?

The costumes were originally designed by John Napier, from the original Broadway produc tion. And each cat has a bit of a different configuration of differ ent costume items, but generally there is a unitard. And then we all do our own makeup except for some kind of quick changes, they will receive assistance in that. And then we have wigs which are designed geniously to look like cat ears, but also maintain some familiarity as far as like human hair goes. So it's actually yak hair, which is a com mon wig for human beings in their everyday life. And then we will have some type of shoe and then usually leg warmers or arm warmers or both. And then, of course, a tail.

What would you say is the reason that you would rec ommend the show to people that have not seen it yet? Why should they see Cats?

Cats really does transcend mu sical theater, like the idea of what musical theater is, because es pecially this production, this is a revival of the original Broadway production. So this revival was done in 2016 by Andy Blan kenbuehler, who was fresh off the success of Hamilton, which broke records in terms of Tony nominations and Tony wins and changed musical theater for ever, literally.

Andy Blankenbuehler for this production, he's working with Gillian Lynne's original choreog raphy, and he's repurposing it for modern audiences. Like, we still have the felinity that people love. Not only is it admirable because it's an animal, there are certain things that you won't see on stage or on TV, but you will see in your living room with a pet and with cats specifically. But this is something that you get to see, that you get to see humans interpreting that. So that alone makes it unique.

Then you also have the fact that this production is almost like a light show in itself, the projec tions are amazing. There are so

many intricate lighting designs and moments of different colors that evoke emotion in you. And it's really an art form of the light ing itself. So that's another thing. You get like a light show.

So if you're someone who doesn't like musical theater, this is not just musical theater because you get these amaz ing designs. Then you have the dancing. The dancing is insane. First of all, the fact that we hardly leave the stage for 2 hours is nearly unheard of. And then you have these dancers who have been training their whole lives, our dance captain has been to the International Ballroom Dance Championships multiple times. You're getting top tier dancers executing this choreography, which is beautiful, stunning, breathtaking, and intimidating.

So then not only is it beautiful to watch, but then where else are you going to go to see a show where the characters don't want you to be there?

The cats at the beginning are like, “humans are not supposed to be here!” And then you don't even know what a Jellicle cat is. The reason to come is that you're not going to see anything like it anywhere else. It's not like the original production, and it's not like the movie that came out recently in 2019. It is totally its own.

Is there anything else that you like to touch on? Either about you or the show or anything like that?

There is something I would like to say which is specifically for Hispanic and Latino audiences, especially immigrants.

You know Puerto Rico is techni cally part of this country, but it's no secret that Puerto Ricans can feel a bit alienated from the country. I think that this show in particular is really speaking to me lately because my grandpar ents are all from Puerto Rico. So something beautiful about the show is the theme of genera tions and wisdom.

Even the idea of language, right? Like I can speak Spanish and I could survive in a Span ish speaking country but when I was four years old, Spanish was my first language but when I was four my parents wanted me to learn English because I had to go to school and it was an Eng lish-speaking school and they wanted to prepare me for what their understanding of success would be in this country. And they did a good job of that. But with that comes the loss of con nection, for me, to my grandpar ents and I know I'm not the only one in my generation who expe rienced that.

So for holidays I get to be around them and I would love being in the presence and getting to laugh with them and play domi nos with them or talk either food, watch sports games, what have you, but there was that language barrier.

There's a song at the beginning of act two, which is a stunning piece of poetry called "Moments of Happiness". And basically, it's saying that if you take the mo ments of happiness, "we've had the experience, but missed the meaning," you had an experi ence but you missed what it meant. And when you approach the meaning, it restores the ex perience in a different form. So reassessing that experience, redefines it for you, you will find new things in that single experi ence beyond any meaning that we can assign to happiness.

"The past experience revived in the meaning is not the ex perience of one life only, but of many generations, not forgetting something that is probably quite ineffable"

So those are direct quotes of the song and ineffable means it's like inarticulable, it's ephemeral, it's not of our cognition. And to me I can feel that even just looking at my grandparents’ eyes.

Only one of my grandfathers has passed, rest in peace. But when he passed that was really painful because all I had was a memory of looking at his eyes and like smiling at him and laughing with him but not being able to bridge back out, not being able to really communicate things to him.

But I could feel like in his ab sence I could remember look ing in his eyes and I could feel his presence from time to time and there is information that is passed on without, even beyond words, wisdom and love. And I think that's something that my generation, gen Z, I think we are overlooking the wisdom of pre vious generations maybe be cause they didn't have the same technology or they didn't have the same access to education, but they were stupid, they were just as intelligent as we are. And I think Cats speaks to that and I think that's something that can be really helpful for Latino and Hispanic MAKING A NEW GENERATION OF CATS

Q&A: CREANDO RECUERDOS, CON UNA NUEVA GENERACIÓN DE CATS

Cats

es uno de los musicales más recono cibles en la historia de Broadway. Incluso si no has visto el show, su música o incluso su logotipo te han cruzado los ojos. En la cultura pop se encuentran innumerables referencias al pro grama, y su estilo distintivo es inconfundible.

Compuesto por Andrew Lloyd Webber y basado en el libro de gatos prácticos de Old Possum de T.S Eliot, el espectáculo que establece récords se ha presentado en más de 30 países y 15 idiomas.

El esquema básico es que Cats es un musical so bre un grupo de felinos callejeros especiales, cono cidos como Jellicles, en una noche especial en su comunidad. El espectáculo es esencialmente un teatro de gatos, con los gatos más icónicos most rando sus talentos y habilidades mientras cuentan sus historias y avanzan a lo largo de la narrativa con sus canciones y bailes.

José Raúl Mangual es un actor y bailarín que se encuentra en su primera producción en gira con la afamada producción de Broadway. Mangual nos habló recientemente de su experiencia trabajando en el escenario a los diferentes gatos que da vida como columpio en el musical. Siga leyendo para conocer los diferentes gatos que interpreta, lo que se necesita para ponerse el maquillaje de gato y subir al escenario, y sus conexiones personales con los temas y las canciones del espectáculo.

Cats estará en el Centro de Artes Escénicas de San José desde ahora hasta el domingo 25 de septiem bre.

Hola Jose Raul, gracias por tu tiempo. En primer lugar, ¿Cómo empezaste en las artes escénicas y qué fue lo que te inspiró a entrar en ese campo?

Así que he estado cantando desde que pude hacer ruido. Hay un video casero de mí cuando era un bebé en la bañera después de aprender a ponerme de pie. Sostengo un cepillo de dientes, lo uso como micrófono y canto una canción que tenía sentido para mis oídos en ese momento. Y el primer ejemplo de cualquier tipo de actuación en general fue a través de la iglesia.

Me crié en la iglesia. De hecho, crecí en un trasfondo cristiano pentacostal, y era un trasfondo cristiano pentacostal puertorriqueño. Entonces eso comple ta la caracterización ahí. Y canté en la iglesia desde una edad temprana, por lo que es natural que co menzara a estudiar coro en la escuela secundaria.

Pero, sí, siempre he tenido afinidad por la instrumen tación vocal, por así decirlo. Y comencé mi primer [espectáculo] en octavo grado. Un compañero del coro me contó sobre este espectáculo navideño que estaba ocurriendo en un teatro en nuestra ciudad natal, que es Lancaster, Pensilvania. Y audi cioné para este espectáculo que se llama American Music Theatre. Y yo estaba ahí arriba como uno de esos niños solistas vocales, éramos tres.

Así que ese fue mi primer paso de puntillas en el mundo de la interpretación vocal profesional. Y lu ego mi primer musical organizado fue 13, el musical, y desde ahí, me enamoré del teatro musical y, de hecho, Cats fue el segundo musical que hice a la edad de 14 años. Y eso fue antes de que supiera bailar.

Así que ahora estás de vuelta en Cats. Sí, de vuelta a Cats. Y es chistoso... Fui a la escuela de Teatro Musical en la Universidad de Temple y después de cinco años ahí, sentí que necesitaba algo más para nutrir mi espíritu además del teatro musical. Así que decidí centrarme en grabar el arte y el cine, y la televisión específicamente.

Pero la oportunidad de hacer una audición para el programa de esta gira por América del Norte me llegó de la nada y no iba a hacerlo, pero mi amigo me ayudó a abrir los ojos y me dijo: "Sabes, esto es de todos los musicales, este es el musical perfecto para ti".

Así que fue genial que [mi amigo] me animara, porque aquí estoy, ¡en mi segunda etapa de la gira!

Eres un swing en el show. ¿Puedes decirme qué haces y qué roles tienes preparados como swing?

Cada swing tiene diferentes canciones que cubrir, algunas de ellas se superponen, pero el trabajo de un swing en general es estar preparado para interp retar cualquier rol en cualquier momento. Entonces podría ser que recibas, "oye, esta persona lamenta blemente tiene que asistir a un funeral en tres días, por lo que estarás cubriendo hasta que regrese", así que ese es el lado de la notificación más avanzada. Pero luego podría ser a mitad del espectáculo, al guien, ya sabes, siente náuseas o tiene una lesión y tienes que maquillarte, ponerte el disfraz y subir al escenario lo más rápido que puedas y de la mejor manera posible. Nadie sabe la diferencia.

Así que actualmente cubro cinco roles, y tres de el los son principales, dos de ellos son roles de con junto. Pero lo sorprendente de Cats es que casi todos los gatos están en el escenario durante la mayor parte del espectáculo.

Los gatos que cubro son Rum Tum Tugger, que es reconocible por tener cuero y cadenas y la gran melena de león, y luego tienes a Munkustrap, que es el personaje narrador, y es el siguiente en la fila para liderar la tribu Jellicle. Y luego, el tercer princi pal que cubro es Old Deuteronomy y Old Deuter onomy es el líder actual de la tribu.

Ha vivido muchas vidas seguidas. Entonces escu chas sobre gatos con nueve vidas. Es uno que ha vivido al menos nueve, si no tal vez más, no está cla ro, pero ha existido por más tiempo que cualquiera de los otros Jellicles.

También cubro a Plato/Macavity, que por un lado, tienes un gato con una personalidad encanta dora que se enamora de Victoria la gata blanca, y despiertan a la sensualidad de ser un gato adulto completo. Pero luego, al otro lado de Plato, y técni camente sigue siendo el mismo gato, está Macavity, que es un gato malvado. Es el némesis de la tribu.

La mayoría de la gente cree que él mismo fue una vez un Jellicle, pero desde entonces ha recurrido a robar gatos, en su mayoría gatas y a veces no re gresan. Así que ha traumatizado a varios miembros de la tribu, incluida Grizabella, que es una de las ga tas más memorables del programa.

Entonces mi quinto gato que cubro es Coricopat. Es un gato gemelo telepático. Entonces él no tiene edad de alguna manera. Es solo un poco más joven que Old Deuteronomy y ambos hacen muchos le vantamientos en el programa, así que empuja a las mujeres por encima de nuestras cabezas o se une a otro gato para lanzarlas al aire o cosas así.

Ustedes usan los disfraces, los accesorios, to das esas cosas. ¿Puedes contarme un poco

sobre eso?

El vestuario fue diseñado originalmente por John Napier, de la producción original de Broadway. Y cada gato tiene una configuración un poco dife rente de diferentes artículos de vestuario, pero generalmente hay un unitard. Y luego todos nos maquillamos a excepción de algún tipo de cam bios rápidos, recibirán asistencia con eso. Y luego tenemos las pelucas que están ingeniosamente diseñadas para parecerse a las orejas de gato, pero también mantienen cierta familiaridad en lo que respecta al cabello humano. Así que en reali dad es pelo de yak, que es una peluca común para los seres humanos en su vida cotidiana. Y luego tendremos algún tipo de calzado y, por lo general, calentadores de piernas o de brazos, o ambos. Y luego, por supuesto, una cola.

¿Cuál dirías que es la razón por la que recom endarías el programa a las personas que aún no lo han visto? ¿Por qué deberían ver Cats?

Cats realmente trasciende el teatro musical, como la idea de lo que es el teatro musical, porque espe cialmente esta producción, es un renacimiento de la producción original de Broadway. Así que este revival fue realizado en 2016 por Andy Blanken buehler, que acababa de salir del éxito de Hamilton, que batió récords en términos de nominaciones y premios Tony y cambió el teatro musical para siem pre, literalmente.

Andy Blankenbuehler para esta producción, está trabajando con la coreografía original de Gillian Lynne y la está reutilizando para el público moder no. Como, todavía tenemos la felinidad que la gente ama. No solo es admirable porque es un animal, hay ciertas cosas que no verás en el escenario o en la tele, sino que verás en tu sala con una mascota y con gatos específicamente Pero esto es algo que puedes ver, que puedes ver a los humanos inter pretándolo. Así que eso solo lo hace único.

Luego también tienes el hecho de que esta produc ción es casi como un espectáculo de luces en sí mismo, las proyecciones son increíbles. Hay tantos diseños de iluminación intrincados y momentos de diferentes colores que evocan emociones en ti. Y es realmente una forma de arte de la iluminación en sí. Así que eso es otra cosa. Vas a ver un espectá culo de luces.

Entonces, si eres alguien a quien no le gusta el teatro musical, esto no es solo teatro musical porque obtienes estos increíbles diseños. Luego tienes el baile. El baile es una locura. En primer lugar, el hecho de que apenas abandonemos el escenar io durante 2 horas es casi sin precedentes. Y luego tienes a estos bailarines que han estado entrenan do toda su vida, nuestro capitán de baile ha estado en el Campeonato Internacional de Baile de Salón varias veces. Estás viendo bailarines de primer nivel

Entonces, no solo es hermoso verlo, sino que, ¿adónde más vas a ir para ver un espectáculo en el que los personajes no quieren que estés ahí?

Los gatos al principio dicen: "¡Se supone que los humanos no deben estar aquí!" Y luego ni siquiera sabes lo que es un gato Jellicle. La razón para ve nir es que no verás nada igual en ningún otro lugar. No es como la producción original, y no es como la película que salió recientemente en 2019. Es total mente propia.

¿Hay algo más que te gustaría tocar? ¿Sobre ti o el espectaculo o algo así?

Hay algo que me gustaría decir que es específica mente para audiencias hispanas y latinas, especial mente inmigrantes.

Sabes que Puerto Rico es técnicamente parte de este país, pero no es ningún secreto que los puer torriqueños pueden sentirse un poco alienados del país. Creo que este show en particular realmente me está hablando últimamente porque mis abuelos son todos de Puerto Rico. Entonces, algo hermoso del espectáculo es el tema de las generaciones y la sabiduría.

Incluso la idea del idioma, ¿verdad? Por ejemplo, puedo hablar español y podría sobrevivir en un país de habla hispana, pero cuando tenía cuatro años, el español era mi primer idioma, pero cuando tenía cuatro, mis padres querían que aprendiera inglés porque tenía que ir a la escuela y era un escuela de habla inglesa y querían prepararme para lo que sería su comprensión del éxito en este país. E hici eron un buen trabajo en eso. Pero con eso viene la pérdida de conexión, para mí, con mis abuelos y sé que no soy el único en mi generación que vivió eso.

Entonces, durante los festivos puedo estar cerca de ellos y me encantaría estar presente y reírme con ellos y jugar al dominó con ellos o hablar so bre comida, ver juegos deportivos, lo que sea, pero había la barrera del idioma.

Hay una canción al comienzo del segundo acto, que es una impresionante pieza de poesía llama da "Momentos de felicidad". Y básicamente, está diciendo que si tomas los momentos de felicidad, "hemos tenido la experiencia, pero perdimos el sig nificado", tuviste una experiencia pero perdiste lo que significaba. Y cuando te acercas al significado, restaura la experiencia de una forma diferente. Así que reevaluar esa experiencia, la redefine para ti, encontrarás cosas nuevas en esa sola experien cia más allá de cualquier significado que podamos asignarle a la felicidad.

"La experiencia pasada revivida en el significado no es la experiencia de una sola vida, sino de muchas generaciones, sin olvidar algo que probablemente es bastante inefable"

Entonces esas son citas directas de la canción e inefable significa que es como inarticulable, es efímero, no es de nuestra cognición. Y para mí pu edo sentir eso incluso con solo mirar a los ojos de mis abuelos.

Solo ha fallecido uno de mis abuelos, descanse en paz. Pero cuando falleció, eso fue realmente dolo roso porque todo lo que tenía era un recuerdo de mirarlo a los ojos y sonreírle y reírme con él, pero no poder volver a conectarme, no poder comunicarle realmente las cosas.

Pero pude sentir que en su ausencia podía recordar mirarlo a los ojos y podía sentir su presencia de vez en cuando y hay información que se transmite sin, incluso más allá de las palabras, sabiduría y amor. Y creo que eso es algo que mi generación, la gen eración Z, creo que estamos pasando por alto la sabiduría de las generaciones anteriores, tal vez porque no tenían la misma tecnología o no tenían el mismo acceso a la educación, pero no eran es túpidos, eran tan inteligentes como nosotros. Y creo que Cats habla de eso y creo que eso es algo que puede ser realmente útil para las poblaciones lati nas e hispanas.

FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH , PEOPLE RECONNECT WITH PUBLIC LANDS

PARA EL MES DE LA HERENCIA HISPANA LA GENTE VUELVE A CONECTAR CON LAS TIERRAS PÚBLICAS

ENGLISH

Suzanne Potter California News Service

Hispanic Heritage Month begins this week and runs through midOctober, and conservation groups are encouraging people to celebrate by getting the family out to enjoy our public lands.

In Southern California, for example, His panic Access Foundation is sponsoring a stargazing event in Frazier Park for His panic pastors on Sept. 30.

Juan Rosas, a conservation program as sociate for the foundation, wants to dispel the myth Hispanics do not value public lands.

"To be able to enjoy God's creation is re ally important to our people," Rosas ex plained. "What a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and getting people to the great outdoors and bring ing awareness to the great need here in California."

The stargazing event is intended to promote the PUBLIC Lands Act, which would protect 1.5 million acres of land in California. It passed the U.S. House, but has stalled in the Senate.

Census data show 39% of Californians are Latino, making it the largest ethnic group in the state. The population grew by 1.6 million people or more than 11%, be tween 2010 and 2020, which accounted for more than two-thirds of the state's to tal population increase.

Rosas noted California has many stun ning state and national parks, but lowincome families have a hard time getting there because they are often far from urban areas, and public transportation is spotty.

"In our beautiful state, we do have Joshua Tree, we have Big Bear, we have all these beautiful beaches, if you have a good car," Rosas pointed out. "But most of us are living in neighborhoods that are very nature-deprived."

Nationally, Latinos make up 18.5% of the population and are expected to hit 24% by 2065.

ESPAÑOL

Enel Mes de la Herencia Hispana, que comienza esta semana y dura hasta mediados de octubre, los grupos conservacionistas animan a la gente a celebrar sacando a la familia a disfrutar de nuestras tierras públicas.

En el sur de California, por ejemplo, la

Fundación Acceso Hispano está patro cinando un evento de observación de estrellas en Frazier Park para pastores hispanos el 30 de septiembre.

Juan Rosas, asociado del programa de conservación de la fundación, quiere di sipar el mito de que los hispanos no val oran las tierras públicas.

"Poder disfrutar de la creación de Dios es muy importante para nuestro pueblo", explicó Rosas. "Qué gran manera de cel ebrar el Mes de la Herencia Hispana y llevar a la gente al aire libre y crear con ciencia sobre la gran necesidad aquí en California".

El evento de observación de estrellas tiene como objetivo promover la Ley de Tierras PÚBLICAS, que protegería 1,5 mil lones de acres de tierra en California. Fue aprobada por la Cámara de Represent antes de los Estados Unidos, pero se ha estancado en el Senado.

Los datos del censo muestran que el 39% de los californianos son latinos, lo que lo convierte en el grupo étnico más grande del estado. La población creció en 1,6 millones de personas o más del 11% entre 2010 y 2020, lo que representó más de dos tercios del aumento de la po blación total del estado.

Rosas señaló que California tiene muchos parques estatales y nacionales impresionantes, pero las familias de ba jos ingresos tienen dificultades para lle gar ahí porque a menudo están lejos de las áreas urbanas y el transporte público es irregular.

"En nuestro hermoso estado, tenemos Joshua Tree, tenemos Big Bear, tenemos todas estas hermosas playas, si tienes un buen coche", señaló Rosas. "Pero la may oría de nosotros vivimos en vecindarios que están muy privados de naturaleza".

A nivel nacional, los latinos representan el 18,5 % de la población y se espera que alcancen el 24 % para 2065.

WANT FREE INTERNET? IT'S MORE ACCESSIBLE THAN EVER. ES MÁS ACCESIBLE QUE NUNCA.

BPT

Inthe past few years, the United States has made significant progress in expanding access to high-speed internet. During the COVID-19 cri sis, emergency relief rolled out for Americans who needed to stay connected from home. In the last two years, through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Ameri can Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the federal govern ment has invested an unprecedented amount of money towards connectivity, including the launch of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides a $30 monthly subsidy for home internet to qualifying households.

And while the resources are there, getting fami lies online remains part of the challenge - millions of Americans still remain unconnected at home, according to the Federal Communications Com mission (FCC).

"As a society, it is imperative that we work togeth er to help people connect to the transformative power of the internet at home," says Broderick Johnson, executive vice president of public policy and digital equity for Comcast Corporation.

"The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for millions of Americans to get online for little to no cost, but connectivity is just the beginning. It's critical for service providers like Comcast to continue to partner with nonprofit organizations across the country to deliver digital literacy skills training so more people can learn how to take full advantage of everything the internet has to offer."

What is the ACP?

The ACP is a benefit program that helps ensure every household can afford broadband connec tion. For eligible households, the program pro vides a credit of $30 per month toward internet service, or $75 per month for those on Tribal lands.

Who qualifies for the ACP?

You are eligible to use ACP benefits if your income is 200 percent or less than the Federal Poverty Guidelines. When you apply, you may have to show proof of income. You are also eligible if you or someone in your household participates in any of these programs:

* Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

* Medicaid

* Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

* Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

* Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)

* Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit

* Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch Pro gram or School Breakfast Program, including at U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Commu nity Eligibility Provision schools

* Received a Federal Pell Grant in the current award year

You can learn more about the qualifications at Af fordableConnectivity.gov.

Two easy ways to use your benefits

Internet service providers like Comcast make it easy to use your ACP credit and can essen tially make high-speed internet free for qualified households. Here are two smart ways to use your $30 benefit through Comcast's Xfinity services:

High-speed internet: At a cost of $29.95 a month - which is completely covered by ACP - the Inter net Essentials Plus package offers fast speeds to support the performance of video and music streaming, video calls and gaming, and comes

with a free cable modem and Wi-Fi router.

Internet plus one line of unlimited mobile: Quali fied individuals can also stretch their credit to cover the cost of high-speed internet ($9.95) plus one line of unlimited data on Xfinity Mobile ($45) for less than $25 per month. This ensures you'll stay connected at home and everywhere you go.

Comcast also allows customers to choose any tier of internet service, so if you are already a cus tomer, then you can enroll in the program and start getting the $30 off your bill soon after.

"Connection to high-speed Internet is no longer a luxury," says Johnson. "It is a daily necessity, and we are doing our part to make it accessible to ev eryone across the country."

NEWSOM SIGNS BILL TO REGULATE WAGES FOR FAST FOOD WORKERS

spent big on TV advertising opposing the bill, have said fast food is being unfairly tar geted and warned the new regulations would force restaurants to increase prices at a time of record inflation.

The broadcast and digital ads called the bill a “food tax.”

“Upending our state’s existing lawmaking structure and regulatory platform is no way to help workers,” said Jot Condie, California Restaurant Association president, in a state ment.

Key compromises

Newsom signed the bill, even though his Department of Finance opposed it, saying it would create ongoing costs and worsen de lays in the state’s labor enforcement system.

Supporters said the bill incorporates their discussions with the Newsom administra tion.

Some food businesses would be exempt from the council’s rules, including bakeries, grocery store fast food counters, and chains with fewer than 100 locations nationally — that’s up from a prior threshold of 30 loca tions or less.

Balancing act

It was not immediately clear how many busi nesses or workers would be excluded by raising that threshold. For franchised brands with locations in California, the number of chains fitting the description fell from 149 to 84, according to the International Franchise Association.

The bill would give workers and their ad vocates an equal number of seats on the council as business representatives. The rest of the council would include two repre sentatives of the governor’s administration – from the Labor & Workforce Development Agency and the Office of Business and Eco nomic Development.

Jeanne Kuang CalMatters

OnLabor Day, Gov. Gavin Newsom an nounced he’s signing a first-in-thenation bill creating a council to regu late wages and working conditions in fast food restaurants.

The new law will give labor advocates a long-elusive bargaining foothold in a lowwage industry that employs more than half a million non-unionized workers statewide.

“California is committed to ensuring that the men and women who have helped build our world-class economy are able to share in the state’s prosperity,” Newsom said in a statement. “Today’s action gives hardwork ing fast-food workers a stronger voice and seat at the table to set fair wages and criti cal health and safety standards across the industry. I’m proud to sign this legislation on Labor Day when we pay tribute to the work ers who keep our state running as we build a stronger, more inclusive economy for all Californians.”

Pushed by the Service Employees Interna tional Union and fiercely opposed by busi ness groups, the FAST Recovery Act barely passed the state Senate with the minimum number of votes. The vote was just as nar row in the Assembly hours later. Several Democrats abstained; after it passed six switched their votes to support it.

The new statewide council would be able to set standards across the fast food industry on wages and workplace conditions such as safety measures and even the tempera ture of a restaurant. Labor advocates say the bill would give workers bargaining power in an industry where union representation is difficult to achieve because of high staff turnover and franchise ownership.

Lawmakers pared back the bill significantly to push it toward final passage after several moderate Democratic legislators balked at earlier proposals to give the new council sweeping regulatory authority over the in dustry. Lawmakers added a bevy of amend ments last week to address the concerns of business owners.

In one major concession, lawmakers stripped out a provision that would have held fast food corporations jointly responsi ble for wage and labor violations at franchise locations. The bill’s sponsor, Democratic As semblymember Chris Holden of Pasadena, said that was a “significant piece” in swaying some colleagues.

California in recent years has been extend ing this kind of labor law liability in other industries — from janitorial and gardening contractors to the building owners and firms that hire them, for example — as part of its efforts to combat wage theft. But fast food franchise corporations have long avoided that responsibility in federal and state labor law.

Even without that provision, labor leaders were calling the bill a victory. SEIU president Mary Kay Henry said at a rally outside the Capitol that the bill was a “watershed mo ment for working people.”

Of particular significance: including workers on the council alongside industry represen tatives, said Columbia University labor law expert Kate Andrias.

“Upending our state’s existing lawmaking structure and regulatory platform is no way to help workers.”

-JOT CONDIE, CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

The United States and California have used boards for other industries before to set minimum wages, particularly during the first half of the 20th century. But, Andrias said, the fast food bill is “a more expansive and ambitious variation” of those past efforts by having workers sit directly on the council and covering a wider range of working con ditions.

The fast food industry, however, is trying to qualify a referendum for the 2024 ballot to overturn the law. State officials cleared the referendum for signature gathering Friday Sept. 16. Supporters need 623,000 signa tures by Dec. 5 to get the question before voters.

Business and restaurant groups, which

Aside from the removal of labor liability for fast food chains, the bill’s other changes in clude provisions preventing the council from requiring any new paid leave benefits for workers, or from regulating how fast food restaurant operators schedule workers’ hours. Also any minimum wage the coun cil sets would be capped at $22 an hour in 2023 and subject to inflationary increases in future years. The bill also includes a six-year expiration date.

Sen. Dave Min, an Irvine Democrat, said he initially “had some deep concerns” about the legislation but supported the more limited version.

“I feel it’s our duty to protect our business centers from overburdensome state regu lations, but we also have to balance that against the rights of the workers that serve us,” he said.

CALIFORNIA DE LEY PODER TRABAJADORES DE COMIDA RÁPIDA

Jeanne Kuang CalMatters

La Legislatura de California envió el lunes 1º de septiembre al gobernador Gavin Newsom un proyecto de ley, el primero en la nación, que crea un consejo para regular los salarios y las condiciones laborales en los restaurantes de comida rápida.

El proyecto de ley laboral daría a los defen sores un punto de apoyo en la negociación que durante mucho tiempo ha sido esquivo en una industria de bajos salarios que emplea a más de medio millón de trabajadores no sin dicalizados en todo el estado.

Impulsada por el Sindicato Internacional de Empleados de Servicios y con la feroz oposición de los grupos empresariales, la FAST Recovery Act (Ley de Recuperación FAST) apenas fue aprobada en el Senado es tatal con el número mínimo de votos. La vo tación fue igual de estrecha en la Asamblea horas después. Varios demócratas se abstu vieron; después de que fue aprobada, seis cambiaron sus votos para apoyarlo.

Si Newsom firma la AB 257 un consejo podría establecer estándares en toda la industria de comida rápida sobre salarios y condiciones

laborales, como medidas de seguridad e in cluso la temperatura de un restaurante. Los defensores laborales dicen que el proyecto de ley daría a los trabajadores poder de ne gociación en una industria donde la represen tación sindical es difícil de lograr debido a la alta rotación de personal y la propiedad de franquicias.

Los legisladores redujeron significativamente el proyecto de ley para empujarlo hacia la aprobación final después de que varios legis ladores demócratas moderados se opusieran a propuestas anteriores para otorgar al nuevo consejo una autoridad reguladora amplia so bre la industria. Los legisladores agregaron una serie de enmiendas la semana pasada para abordar las preocupaciones de los due ños de negocios.

En una importante concesión, los legisladores eliminaron una disposición que habría re sponsabilizado conjuntamente a las corpora ciones de comida rápida por las infracciones salariales y laborales que sucedieran en las franquicias. El patrocinador del proyecto de ley, el asambleísta demócrata Chris Holden de Pasadena, dijo que era una “pieza significativa” para convencer a algunos colegas.

En los últimos años, California ha estado

extendiendo este tipo de responsabilidad legal laboral en otras industrias, desde contratistas de limpieza y jardinería hasta propietarios de edificios y empresas que los contratan, por ejemplo, como parte de sus esfuerzos para combatir el robo de salarios. Pero las corporaciones de franquicias de comida rápida han evitado durante mucho tiempo esa responsabilidad en la legislación laboral federal y estatal.

Incluso sin esa disposición, los líderes labo rales calificaron el proyecto de ley como una victoria. La presidenta de SEIU, Mary Kay Henry, dijo en un mitin frente al Capitolio que el proyecto de ley era un “momento decisivo para los trabajadores”.

De particular importancia: incluir a los traba jadores en el consejo junto con represent antes de la industria, dijo Kate Andrias, ex perta en derecho laboral de la Universidad de Columbia.

“Revertir la estructura legislativa y la plataforma regulatoria existente de nuestro estado no es una forma de ayudar a los trabajadores”.

-JOT CONDIE, PRESIDENTE DE LA ASO CIACIÓN DE RESTAURANTES DE CALIFOR NIA

Los Estados Unidos y California han utilizado Juntas para otras industrias antes de establ ecer salarios mínimos, particularmente du rante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Pero, dijo Andrias, el proyecto de ley de comida rápida es “una variación más expansiva y ambiciosa” de esos esfuerzos anteriores al tener a los tra

bajadores sentados directamente en el con sejo y cubrir una gama más amplia de condi ciones laborales.

Los grupos empresariales y de restaurantes, que gastaron mucho dinero en publicidad televisiva para oponerse al proyecto de ley, emitieron un comunicado el lunes por la tar de instando al gobernador Gavin Newsom a vetarlo. Han dicho que la industria de la comi da rápida está siendo atacada injustamente y advirtieron que las nuevas regulaciones obli garían a los restaurantes a aumentar los pre

cios en un momento donde hay una inflación poniendo récords.

La transmisión y los anuncios digitales llama ron al proyecto de ley un “impuesto a los ali mentos”.

“Renovar la estructura legislativa y la plata forma regulatoria existente de nuestro estado no es una forma de ayudar a los trabajadores”, dijo Jot Condie, presidente de la Asociación de Restaurantes de California, en un comuni cado.

Compromisos clave

Newsom no ha declarado una posición sobre el proyecto de ley, pero su Departamento de Finanzas se opone , diciendo que crearía cos tos continuos y empeoraría las demoras en el sistema de aplicación laboral del estado.

Los cambiaron el lunes que el proyecto de ley incorpora sus discusiones con la adminis tración de Newsom.

Aparte de la eliminación de la responsabilidad laboral para las cadenas de comida rápida, los otros cambios del proyecto de ley incluyen disposiciones que impiden que el consejo re quiera nuevos beneficios de licencia pagada para los trabajadores, o que regulen cómo los operadores de restaurantes de comida rá pida programen las horas de los trabajadores. Además, cualquier salario mínimo que es tablezca el consejo tendrá un tope de $ 22 por hora en 2023 y estaría sujeto a aumentos inflacionarios en años futuros. El proyecto de ley también incluye una fecha de vencimiento de seis años.

Algunas empresas de alimentos estarían exentas de las reglas del consejo, incluidas las panaderías, los mostradores de comida rápida de las tiendas de comestibles y las cadenas con menos de 100 espacios a nivel nacional, lo que supera el umbral anterior de 30 espacios o menos.

Acto de equilibrio

No estaba claro de inmediato que empresas o trabajadores quedarían excluidos al elevar ese umbral. Para las marcas franquiciadas con permisos en California, la cantidad de cadenas que se ajustan a la descripción se reduce de 149 a 84, según la Asociación In ternacional de Franquicias.

El proyecto de ley daría a los trabajadores y sus defensores un número igual de es caños en el consejo como representantes empresariales. El resto del consejo incluiría a dos representantes de la administración del gobernador, de la Agencia de Desarrollo Laboral y de la Fuerza Laboral y la Oficina de Desarrollo Comercial y Económico.

El senador demócrata de Irvine, Dave Min, dijo que inicialmente “tenía algunas preocu paciones profundas” sobre la legislación, pero apoyó la versión más limitada.

“Siento que es nuestro deber proteger nuestros centros comerciales de las regula ciones estatales excesivas, pero también ten emos que equilibrar eso con los derechos de los trabajadores que nos atienden”, dijo.

AsCalifornia's children settle into the new school year, about 1,500 students will soon take the field trip of a lifetime to see the giant red woods.

The nonprofit Save the Redwoods League works with schools from Santa Cruz up to Humboldt.

Emily Wiberg, a fourth grade math teacher at Achieve Academy in Oak land, said the day trip to Reinhardt Red wood Regional Park is a game-chang er for children from under-resourced communities.

"For the majority of them, it's their first time being out in nature," Wiberg point ed out. "It's really exciting to see them getting their hands dirty and exploring."

Wiberg's class also takes part in the watershed program at Crab Cove, in partnership with the East Bay Regional Park District. There, children put on waders and examine the marine eco system. Trips for junior high and high

school students focus more on scien tific data collection.

Deborah Zierten, education manager for the Save the Redwoods League, said the program promotes diversity, equity and inclusion by creating oppor tunities in all communities.

"We try and provide free bus trans portation, or if they're able to provide buses, we always provide free instruc tion when we get to the forest," Zierten explained. "We don't want to charge because we don't want that to be a barrier."

The program hopes to inspire students to consider careers in forestry and natural-resource management. And it teaches students about threats to the watershed and old-growth forests such as development, wildfires, and drought linked to climate change.

NEW $5.8M GRANT WILL TRAIN TECHNICIANS TO BUILD OUT CA BROADBAND

Suzanne Potter California News Service

California is going to need tens of thou sands of workers over the next six years as we continue to build the broadband network to bring high-speed internet to un derserved areas.

Now, the feds have awarded $5.8 million to the Communications Workers of America to supercharge its workforce training program.

Frank Arce, vice president of Communica tions Workers of America District 9, which encompasses California, Nevada, Hawaii and Guam, said the union is partnering with the Chabot-Las Positas Community College Dis trict in the Bay Area to expand its apprentice ship program.

"We're planning on focusing on underserved communities," Arce explained. "Really making sure it's a locally based workforce, people of color, women, veterans, and young people."

The plan is to open three more paid appren ticeship training programs over the next few years in the Fresno, Chico and Los Angeles areas. The state is set to allocate more than $5 billion to extend high speed internet in ru ral areas, and the Infrastructure Act will send hundreds of millions in federal funds to bolster the effort.

Arce pointed out the grant also will allow the union to partner with employers to bolster working families.

The Brookings Institute predicts the broadband buildout across the U.S. will create 200,000 new jobs for telecom technicians in the coming years.

"It's a great opportunity for people to get some skills and set themselves into a solid middleclass job," Arce asserted. "We're taking advan tage of this opportunity that we're building our infrastructure in the country to see if we can get some Californians out to work."

Arce noted in the past, unscrupulous subcon tractors working for telecom companies have cut corners and treated workers poorly. But he added the publicly-funded program will raise the standards to require high-quality ma terials, workmanship and employee benefits.

LOAN WINDOW OPENS FOR CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESSES

Mark Hedin Ethnic Media Services

Small business entrepreneurs in Califor nia have new access to billions of dollars’ worth of funding to be offered with an ex plicit eye toward reaching communities too of ten shortchanged by the financial sector in the past.

At a press conference Sept. 20, the U.S. Trea sury Department announced having approved California’s application for $1.18 billion of loan guarantees and other incentives to help the state’s burgeoning small business sector in its continuing recovery from the impacts of the Co vid-19 pandemic.

It’s the largest allocation so far from the $10 bil lion dedicated nationwide in the 2021 American Rescue Plan to replenish the State Small Busi ness Credit Initiative funds first established in 2010. That $10 billion is expected to seed 10 times as much additional, private-sector invest ment in small businesses.

“When small businesses succeed, they create good-paying jobs that revitalize our neighbor hoods and strengthen our economy,” Califor nia Senator Alex Padilla said in announcing the Treasury Department’s decision to grant Califor nia’s request for almost $1.2 billion of American Rescue Plan funding.

California is currently the world’s fifth-largest economy, and gaining fast on Germany, cur rently the world’s fourth-largest, said Dee Dee Myers, advisor to Gov. Gavin Newsom and di rector of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development.

Across the country, more Americans are start ing small businesses than ever before – 5.4 mil lion in 2021, according to a June White House report – 20% more than ever recorded before.

Myers suggested that interested California en trepreneurs reach out to the Small Business Administration’s many Small Business Develop ment Centers located statewide.

State Treasurer Fiona Ma added that informa tion can also be found through the State Trea surer’s Office.

Padilla, Myers and Ma were joined at the an nouncement by White House American Rescue Plan Coordinator Gene Sperling, Congressional representatives Katie Porter and Mike Levin, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Treasury Wally Adey emo.

Porter paid particular attention to the support program’s technical assistance component, intended to help small businesses determine what supports they might qualify for and how to access them.

“I know technical assistance may not sound cool, but it is really, really cool,” Porter said. “This is going to make it easier for small businesses to get the funds. … Not only is this program there, but there’s help to get access to this program, technical assistance for the smallest and most vulnerable businesses, that historically have struggled to get help even when there are re sources.”

“This equitable execution will really contribute to creating a strong, stable, globally competitive economy by leveling the playing field.”

“When President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan,” Sperling said, “there were two very fundamental goals. One, obviously, was to recover quickly and strongly from the pandemic, which we have seen in record job growth and record drops in Black and Hispanic unemploy ment.”

“The second aspect was to also ensure that the recovery that grew out of the pandemic was one that was one of equity and equitable op portunity.”

Key to that, Sperling said, is the State Small Busi ness Credit Initiative, designed to ensure fund ing and finance for those with the best ideas, in the most equitable way possible.

The $10 billion designated nationwide for the Small Business Administration, he said, is ex pected to generate from six to ten times that much in private sector loans and support, de signed, he said, “to overcome barriers that might exist in normal private sector lending.”

“We know, unfortunately, that while credit should flow to those with the best ideas, it never has and still does not … particularly to those small business owners and entrepreneurs of color.”

The $1.1 billion approved for California will be administered by two Sacramento agencies, the California Infrastructure and Economic Devel opment Bank (IBank) and the California Pollution Control Financing Authority.

The first, under the auspices of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, will oversee loan guarantees and venture capital programs. The second, under the State Trea surer’s Office, is charged with capital access and collateral support programs.

Q&A: DIEGO LUNA Y LA LUCHA PARA R EVOLUCIÓN EN EL ESPACIO

Arturo Hilario El Observador

DiegoLuna no es nuevo en el uni verso de Star Wars. Su nuevo programa Andor sirve como pre cuela de una precuela, centrándose en su personaje Cassian Andor de Rogue One de 2016 (en sí mismo es una pre cuela de Star Wars: A New Hope) años antes de que se convirtiera en el héroe favorito de los fans.

En Rogue One de 2016, Cassian ya es un espía y líder establecido en la Rebelión contra el siniestro Imperio, y sus esfuer zos ayudan a entregar un paquete im portante que ayuda a Luke Skywalker y los rebeldes a destruir el Imperio y a Darth Vader en la trilogía original de la película.

El nuevo programa de Disney+, An dor, será una serie de dos temporadas y 24 episodios que seguirá a Cassian mientras intenta encontrar algo de ver dad sobre su pasado y navegar por los peligrosos mundos del universo de Star Wars, lo que finalmente lo llevará a unirse a la Rebelión. La historia también se enfoca en la comunidad de Cassian y aquellos a los que más quiere, y lo que está dispuesto a hacer para protegerlos.

Recientemente, Luna habló con EO so bre su experiencia al volver al personaje después de unos años y lo que significó esa oportunidad para él. Habló sobre cómo es crear un programa de Star Wars como actor y productor, y lo que espera que el público se lleve de los temas y la historia que están tratando de contar.

Andor ahora está disponible exclusiva mente en Disney+.

Muchas gracias por hablar sobre el show de Andor. Para empezar, quería saber cómo fue el proceso de que te enteraste de que iban a seguir la his toria de Cassian y cómo fueron esos sentimientos de regresar a este mun do de Star Wars.

Pues mira, lo oí, me dio muchísimo gusto recibir la noticia y la invitación. Para mí este personaje es un personaje muy querido y además el proceso es el pro ceso de vida. O sea, la experiencia de vida que me trajo a hacer Rogue One, la atesoro como pocas cosas.

Entonces poder regresar con este equi

po a trabajar fue una gran noticia. Y en términos de la historia, pues emociona nte poder contar el pasado de Cassian, hablar de el despertar de esta rebelión no, y del momento digamos, en la histo ria, en la cronología de Star Wars. El mo mento en el que esa rebelión empieza a articular.

¿Y quería saber en qué aspectos de

sonajes interesantes y muchas historias que vale la pena contar.

Y siendo productor, ¿cómo te involu craste en la historia y cómo iba a salir todo en la serie?

Pues mira producir es la oportunidad de estar presente en todo el proceso no? Es la oportunidad de acompañar to

¿Podrías hablar sobre cómo fue la experiencia de filmar esta serie y cómo se utilizó la tecnología?

Bueno, pues hay muchas herramientas tecnológicas que hoy hacen más sen cillo el trabajo. Pero no tiene nada de sencillo esta serie la verdad es que el diseño es muy ambicioso. Y bueno, los distintos escenarios que se ven en la se rie son esos diseños muy complejos no? Y todo está construido.

Hay muchísimo trabajo del equipo de arte, del equipo de vestuario, del equipo de maquillaje, peinados; el departa mento de droides y criaturas que hacen unos personajes fabulosos.

Hay mucho trabajo puesto detrás de esta serie. Son muchos meses y mu chas cabezas trabajando en esto. Y creo que cuando la vez se ve esa riqueza, se ve ese nivel de producción, se nota en la serie.

Quería saber un poco sobre la parte de la historia de la niñez de Cassian, en donde viene de una comunidad indígena del planeta Kenari. ¿Esa idea de dónde vino y como te sientes, pues de eso que es una comunidad indígena y como son tratados?

sarrollaste aún más ese personaje de Cassian? cómo fue esta experiencia Porque de ir a un personaje en una película de ensemble, a un show en tero con él?

Pues mira, ha sido muy grato. He estado siempre muy agradecido con el equipo, porque por más que se llame Andor, es una historia en la que hay muchísimos personajes y hay muchísimo tiempo además para explorarlos, no? Eso es lo importante.

Es una cosa que te da este formato lar go de las series. Tenemos 12 episodios en esta primera temporada. Por ende hay muchas, muchas historias que se desarrollan, no nada más la de Cassian. Y eso da una sensación de que es una historia que trata sobre una comunidad. Y en esta comunidad hay muchos per

dos los procesos de sentir que el show, pues te pertenece en algún sentido, no? Como actor llegas a un vehículo que ya está en movimiento, que ya está movié ndose.

Y como productor, pues bueno, estoy ahí desde el inicio, desde las primeras juntas, desde el proceso de casting, el proceso de diseño y entonces, para el momento en el que llegas a filmar, sabes exactamente por qué las cosas son como son y hay tiempo de asimilar, no?

También tienes la oportunidad de hacer preguntas cuando tiene sentido hacer preguntas. Agradezco involucrarme como productor. Porque además de que puedo tener injerencia en las deci siones, aprendo muchísimo en el pro ceso.

Pues es interesante porque este es una comunidad además de niños y niñas. Es que te hace preguntarte muchas cosas. Es una historia que se inventó Tony Gil bert y que creo que es muy poderosa. Te ayuda a entender muchísimo de dónde viene Cassian, qué es lo que ha dejado detrás, qué experiencias ha teni do? A qué se refiere cuando dice que es parte de una lucha desde los seis años, qué vida es esa a la que se refiere?

Última pregunta, muchas gracias Di ego por el tiempo. ¿Qué te gustaría que el público se lleve de esta experiencia de ver a Andor en Disney+?

Pues un show maduro un show inte resante. Un show que es un poco más oscuro. Un show que apela a la inteli gencia del público este que sí tiene toda la acción, la aventura que uno busca en Star Wars.

Pero además tiene otras cosas. Hace un comentario y sobre todo tiene una fuer za emocional, no? Creo que es un show con el que es fácil empatizar, con el que es fácil conectarte con los personajes y llega a ser un viaje muy emotivo.

Q&A: DIEGO LUNA AND THE FIGHT FOR REVOLUTION IN SPACE

Arturo Hilario El Observador

DiegoLuna is not new to the Star Wars universe. His new show An dor serves as a prequel to a pre quel, focusing on his character Cassian Andor from 2016’s Rogue One (itself is a prequel to Star Wars: A New Hope) years before he became a fan favorite hero.

In 2016’s Rogue One Cassian is already an established spy and leader in the Rebellion against the sinister Empire, and his efforts help deliver an impor tant package that helps Luke Skywalker and the Rebels destroy the Empire and Darth Vader in the original film trilogy.

The new Disney+ show Andor will be a two season, 24-episode series following Luna’s Cassian as he tries to find some truth about his past and navigate the dangerous worlds of the Star Wars uni verse, which will ultimately lead to him joining the Rebellion. The story is also one that focuses on Cassian’s commu nity and those that he holds most dear, and what he’s willing to do to protect them.

Recently Luna spoke to EO about his ex perience coming back to the character after a few years and what that oppor tunity meant to him. He spoke on what it’s like creating a Star Wars show as an actor and producer, and what he hopes audiences take away from the themes and story they are trying to tell.

Andor is now available to stream exclu sively on Disney+.

Thank you very much for talking about Andor. To start, I wanted to know what the process was like when you found out that they were going to continue the Cassian story and what those feelings were coming back to this world of Star Wars.

Well look, I heard it, I was very happy to receive the news and the invitation. For me this character is a very dear char acter and, furthermore, the process is the process of life. In other words, the life experience that brought me to make Rogue One, I treasure it like few other things.

So being able to return to this team to work was great news. And in terms of history, well, it's exciting to be able

to tell Cassian's past, to talk about the awak¬ening of this rebellion, and of the mo¬ment, let's say, in history, in the Star Wars chronology. The moment in which that rebellion begins to articulate [itself].

I wanted to know in which aspects you further developed the Cassian character? How was this ex¬perience of going from a character in an en

ries?

Well look, producing is the opportu nity to be present throughout the en tire pro¬cess, right? It is the opportu nity to ac-company all the processes to feel that the show, well, belongs to you in some sense, right? As an actor you ar¬rive at a vehicle that is already in move¬ment. And as a producer, well,

truth is that the design is very ambi tious. And well, the different scenarios that are seen in the series are those very com¬plex designs, right? And every thing is built.

There is a lot of work from the art team, the wardrobe team, the makeup team, hairstyling; the department of droids and creatures that make some fabulous characters.

There is a lot of work put into this se¬ries. There are many months and many heads working on this. And I think that when you see that wealth of talent, you see that level of production, it shows in the series.

I wanted to know a little bit about the part of the show focusing on Cas sian's childhood story, where it shows he’s from an Indigenous community on the planet Kenari. Where did that idea come from and how do you feel about how they are treated?

Well, it's interesting because this is also a community made up of only [children]. It makes you wonder a lot of things. It's a story that Tony Gilbert made up and I think it is very powerful. It helps you un derstand a lot [about] where Cassian came from, what he’s left behind, what experiences has he had? What does he mean when he says that he has been part of a struggle since he was six years old, what life is that which he is referring to?

semble film, to an entire show with him as the lead?

Well, it was very pleasant. I have always been very grateful for the team, because even though it is called Andor, it is a story in which there are many characters and there is also a lot of time to explore them, right? That's what's important.

It's one thing that gives you this long se ries format. We have 12 episodes in this first season. So there are many, many stories that unfold, not just Cas¬sian's. And that gives a sense that it's a story about a community. And in this commu nity, there are many interesting charac ters and many stories worth tell¬ing

And being a producer, how did you get involved in the story and how was everything going to turn out in the se

I've been there since the very beginning, since the very first meetings, since the casting process, the design process, and then by the time you get to shoot, you know exactly why things are the way they are and there is time to assimi late, right?

You also have the opportunity to ask questions when it makes sense to ask questions. I appreciate getting involved as a producer. Because in addition to being able to influence decisions, I learned a lot in the process.

Could you talk about what the experience of filming this series was like and how technology was involved?

Well, there are many technological tools today that make work easier. But there is nothing simple about this series, the

Last question, thank you very much Diego for the time. What would you like audiences to take away from this experience of seeing Andor on Dis ney+?

Well, it’s a mature show, an interest ing show. A show that's a little darker. A show that appeals to the public's in telligence, that does have all the action, the ad¬venture that one looks for in Star Wars.

But it also has other things. It makes a commentary and above all it has an emo¬tional force. I think it's a show that's easy to empathize with, easy to con nect with the characters, and it ends up be¬coming a very emotional journey.

The new Disney+ prequel shows the beloved character's journey to become a savior of the Star Wars galaxy

It helps you understand a lot where Cassian came from, what has he left behind, what experiences has he had? What does he mean when he says that he has been part of a struggle since he was six years old, what life is that he is referring to?
