días del vencimiento para un acuerdo sobre el presupuesto federal y sobre importantes iniciativas como la Ley del Campo (Farm Bill), no existe ningún indicativo de qué podrán resolverse a tiempo.
Se trata de una virtual repetición de lo ocurrido en 2023, cuando ante la falta de un acuerdo se acordó extender los beneficios de la ley del campo por un año más y expiran este 30 de septiembre.
El nudo de los desacuerdos entre demócratas y republicanos es la financiación del Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP) de cupones de alimentos a familias de bajos ingresos, que proporciona asistencia alimentaria a casi 42 millones de personas. SNAP absorbe más del 80% del costo de la Ley del Campo.
Sólo el 20 por ciento de los hogares que reciben SNAP tienen ingresos mensuales brutos por encima del umbral federal de pobreza. El ingreso bruto mensual promedio de un hogar que recibe SNAP es de unos $900 dólares y el ingreso neto de $400. Alrededor del 16% de los beneficiarios de SNAP son familias hispanas.
SNAP no sólo ayuda a combatir la inseguridad alimentaria entre las familias de más bajos ingresos del país, sino que tiene un efecto positivo para estimular a las comunidades locales y aumentar la demanda de productos agrícolas y de consumo básico, todo lo cual tiene un impacto positivo en la economía en general.
Pero los republicanos buscan recortes de 30,000 millones de dólares a SNAP e imponer requisitos laborales y de elegibilidad más estrictos y una reducción del gasto, a fin de canalizarlo a agricultores. Sin embargo, los demócratas, incluida la Casa Blanca, se oponen de manera categórica a cualquier recorte.
Rudy Arredondo, que representa 75,000 granjeros y rancheros latinos en Estados Unidos, y que forma parte de una coalición que empuja por una renovación de la Ley del Campo, dice que han sido mantenidos en la sombra sobre posibles avances en las negociaciones.
“No estamos seguros que la Ley del Campo vaya a ser finalizada. No sabemos si se han resuelto las diferencias en las dos propuestas legislativas, de demócratas y republicanos. Nos preocupa mucho”, me comenta.
A sólo días del plazo del 30 de septiembre, demócratas y republicanos acordaron un plan para extender el plazo para un arreglo presupuestal hasta el 20 de diciembre, después de las elecciones. Pero la Ley del Campo no fue incluida.
Todo parece indicar que la intención de demócratas y republicanos es explorar la posibilidad de un acuerdo sobre la ley del campo durante las sesiones legislativas que tienen lugar después de las elecciones y antes del
inicio del nuevo Congreso.
Los beneficios de SNAP no se acabarán inmediatamente. Aún si no hay un acuerdo presupuestal, pero las familias de más bajos ingresos del país merecen una solución duradera que les brinde seguridad y una alimentación digna.
Comunícate con tu delegación en el Congreso en Washington y hazle saber tu punto de vista. Nadie debe ser un espectador pasivo cuando la alimentación de millones, en especial de los más vulnerables, está en juego. Tu voz y tu voto cuentan.

Withjust days to go before an agreement on the federal budget and on important initiatives such as the Farm Bill expire, there is no indication that they will be resolved in time.
This is a virtual repetition of what happened in 2023, when in the absence of an agreement it was agreed to extend the benefits of the Farm Bill for another year, and now they expire on September 30.
The crux of the disagreements between Democrats and Republicans is the financing of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for food stamps to low-income families, which provides food assistance to almost 42 million people. SNAP absorbs more than 80% of the cost of the Farm Bill.
Only 20 percent of households receiving SNAP have gross monthly income above the federal poverty line. The average monthly gross income of a household receiving SNAP is about $900 and the net income is $400. About 16% of SNAP recipients are Hispanic families.
SNAP not only helps combat food insecurity among the country's lowest-income families, but it has a positive effect on stimulating local communities and increasing demand for agricultural and consumer staples, all of which have a positive impact on the economy as a whole.
But Republicans are seeking to cut $30 billion to SNAP and impose stricter work and eligibility requirements and reduce spending to channel it to farmers. However, Democrats, including the White House, are adamantly opposed to any cuts.
Rudy Arredondo, who represents 75,000 Latino farmers and ranchers in the United States and is part of a coalition pushing for a renewal of the Farm Law, says they have been kept in the dark about possible progress in the negotiations.
“We are not sure that the Farm Bill will be finalized. We don’t know if the differences in the two legislative proposals, from Democrats and Republicans, have been resolved. We are very concerned,” he tells me.
Just days before the September 30 deadline, Democrats and Republicans agreed on a plan to extend the deadline for a budget agreement until December 20, after the elections. But the Farm Bill was not included.
Everything seems to indicate that the intention of Democrats and Republicans is to explore the possibility of an agreement on the Farm Bill during the legislative sessions that take place after the elections and before the start of the new Congress.
SNAP benefits will not end immediately. Even if there is no budget agreement, the lowest-income families in the country deserve a lasting solution that provides them with security and decent food.
Contact your congressional delegation in Washington and let them know your point of view. No one should be a passive spectator when the food of millions, especially the most vulnerable, is at stake. Your voice and your vote count.

ONLY 1 IN 5 CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS MAKES IT TO A UNIVERSITY, AUDIT SAYS
Community colleges are designed to help students get an associate degree and transfer to a four-year university. Most community college students never graduate or transfer, a state audit found.
Adam Echelman CalMatters
Manystudents start community college with the hope of getting an associate degree and then transferring to a fouryear institution, such as a California State University or University of California campus.
But a state audit, released September 24, found that the vast majority of these students never accomplish their goal. “Only about 1 in 5 students who began community college from 2017 to 2019 and intended to transfer did so within four years,” the audit states. Transfer rates are even lower for students in less affluent parts of the state and in rural areas and for students who are Black or Hispanic, according to the audit.
The state’s higher education systems are designed so that students can spend two years at community college, two years at a university, and then graduate with a bachelor’s degree. Tuition at community college is cheaper than at any Cal State or UC campus, so in theory, a student who follows this path is saving money.
In practice, few students ultimately transfer and those who do take so long to do it that they lose out on any potential savings.
Without a bachelor’s degree, career prospects are often dim. Many jobs require a bachelor’s degree, and on average, young adults with a bachelor’s degree earn $16,000 more than those with only an associate degree. Adults with only a high school education earn the least on average.
In 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom set a goal to increase the percentage of working-age adults with a postsecondary degree or certificate from 55% to 70% by 2030. Improving the transfer process is critical to reaching that goal, the audit states.
The community college transfer maze
The transfer system is too complex, the audit says, and numerous studies have found that bureaucracy is partially to blame. Students who want to transfer face a maze of administrative hurdles and esoteric requirements — akin to a game of chutes and ladders.
“California community college students who want to transfer to a four-year college or university are trying to make progress, but one bad roll of the dice can set them back several turns,” said a June 2021 report by the Campaign for College Opportunity, a nonprofit organization.
Some Cal State and UC majors don’t accept certain community college courses, and some community colleges don’t offer the classes that students need. The Cal State and UC systems have different requirements for community college transfer students, and some students — even students who meet the requirements — get rejected, the audit found.
While most community college students who apply to a UC or Cal State get accepted, popular majors, such as computer science, and popular schools, such as UCLA and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, are far more selective, the audit found. If rejected, these students are supposed to go through a “redirection” process, where they get accepted to another campus. The state audit found that the CSU redirected more than 25,000 community college applicants to other campuses over the last few years.
In 2010, California lawmakers reformed the transfer process by creating a new kind of community college degree that also guaran-
tees admission to a Cal State campus. Known as the Associate Degree for Transfer, it’s become increasingly popular and a key benefit to students, according to the audit.
Lawmakers tried — and failed — to have the UC system guarantee admissions for these community college students. Last year, lawmakers made a breakthrough by passing a bill that will require UCLA to prioritize certain community college students for admission beginning in the 2026-27 academic year. More UC campuses will participate in later years.
The state has also pushed the community college system to standardize how it labels courses to make it easier for students to determine what they need to transfer. Implementing the new system has been slow, however, and it won’t be complete until 2027.
The last major reform will go into effect next year. Beginning in the fall semester, the community college system will offer a new set of common prerequisites that both the UC and Cal State systems have agreed to accept.
But the audit found that these reforms alone are insufficient. Auditors recommended that community college campuses find ways to increase the number of counselors who can support transfer-bound students and that all three higher education systems should work to expand successful programs, such as the Associate Degree for Transfer.
When collaboration is ‘ineffective’
When California designed its current higher education system in 1960, it required both the Cal State and UC systems to make room for community college transfers. The UC system agrees to admit one transfer student for every two new freshmen who enroll, but it didn’t meet that goal last year, said UC spokesperson Stett Holbrook. Part of the problem, he said, is that community college enrollment declined.
The Cal State system doesn’t have a specific goal, but the audit said most campuses still enroll a high number of transfer students. The largest exception is Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where just 18% of incoming students came through the transfer system in recent years.
In 2017, the community college system set a goal to increase the annual number of students who transfer from about 80,000 to just over 100,000 by 2022. The system never achieved that goal, and the pandemic is in part to blame, the audit states.
Paul Feist, a spokesperson for the California Community College Chancellor’s Office, said the next goal is contingent on whether the Cal State and UC campuses can boost their own enrollment.
One challenge with the transfer process is that it requires the community college, Cal State, and UC systems to work together. Historically,
SEGÚN
that hasn’t been easy.
When the state Legislature allowed the community college system to begin offering their own bachelor’s degrees — a solution that avoids the transfer process altogether — professors at the Cal State campuses fought back, fearing that community colleges might siphon away students and force the Cal State system to lose money.
Each system has a different set-up: The UC is constitutionally independent, which means the Legislature has limited authority over it. The Cal State system is centralized, whereas the community college system is more similar to the K-12 system, where regional college districts make the majority of decisions.
There’s no official coordinating committee between the three public higher education systems. Such a committee did exist over a decade ago, but former Gov. Jerry Brown stopped funding it “because he believed it had been ineffective,” the audit wrote.
The audit didn’t call for a new committee but it did ask all three higher education systems to improve how they share data and information.

UNA AUDITORÍA, SOLO 1 DE CADA 5 ESTUDIANTES DE COLEGIOS COMUNITARIOS DE CALIFORNIA LLEGA A LA UNIVERSIDAD
Los colegios comunitarios están diseñados para ayudar a los estudiantes a obtener un título de asociado y transferirse a una universidad de cuatro años. La mayoría de los estudiantes de los colegios comunitarios nunca se gradúan ni se transfieren, según una auditoría estatal.
Muchos
estudiantes comienzan sus estudios en un colegio comunitario con la esperanza de obtener un título asociado y luego transferirse a una institución de cuatro años, como un campus de la Universidad Estatal de California o de la Universidad de California. Pero una auditoría estatal, publicada el 24 de septiembre, encontró que la gran mayoría de estos estudiantes nunca logran su objetivo. “Solo alrededor de 1 de cada 5 estudiantes que comenzaron la universidad comunitaria entre 2017 y 2019 y tenían la intención de transferirse lo hicieron dentro de los cuatro años”, afirma la auditoría. Las tasas de transferencia son incluso más bajas para los estudiantes en las partes menos ricas del estado y en las áreas rurales y para los estudiantes que son negros o hispanos, según la auditoría.
Los sistemas de educación superior del estado están diseñados para que los estudiantes puedan pasar dos años en un colegio comunitario, dos años en una universidad y luego graduarse con una licenciatura. La matrícula en un colegio comunitario es más barata que en cualquier campus de Cal State o UC, por lo que, en teoría, un estudiante que sigue este camino está ahorrando dinero.
En la práctica, pocos estudiantes terminan transfiriéndose y los que lo hacen tardan tanto en hacerlo que pierden posibles ahorros.
Sin una licenciatura, las perspectivas laborales suelen ser escasas. Muchos empleos requieren una licenciatura y, en promedio, los adultos jóvenes con una licenciatura ganan $16,000
más que aquellos que solo tienen un título asociado. Los adultos que solo tienen educación secundaria son los que menos ganan en promedio.
En 2022, el gobernador Gavin Newsom se ha propuesto aumentar el porcentaje de adultos en edad laboral con un título o certificado de educación superior del 55 % al 70 % para 2030. Mejorar el proceso de transferencia es fundamental para alcanzar ese objetivo, afirma la auditoría.
El laberinto de transferencias a colegios comunitarios
Según la auditoría, el sistema de transferencias es demasiado complejo y numerosos estudios han descubierto que la burocracia es en parte responsable. Los estudiantes que quieren trasladarse se enfrentan a un laberinto de obstáculos administrativos y requisitos esotéricos, similar a un juego de toboganes y escaleras.
“Los estudiantes de colegios comunitarios de California que quieren transferirse a una universidad o colegio de cuatro años están tratando de progresar, pero una mala tirada de dados puede hacerlos retroceder varias vueltas”, dijo un informe de junio de 2021 de la Campaña por Oportunidades Universitarias, una organización sin fines de lucro.
Algunas carreras de Cal State y UC no aceptan determinados cursos de colegios comunitarios, y algunos colegios comunitarios no ofrecen las clases que los estudiantes necesitan. Los sistemas de Cal State y UC tienen diferentes requisitos para los estudiantes transferidos de colegios comunitarios, y algunos estudiantes, incluso los que cumplen con

los requisitos, son rechazados, según la auditoría.
Si bien la mayoría de los estudiantes de colegios comunitarios que solicitan ingreso a una UC o Cal State son aceptados, las carreras populares, como informática, y las escuelas populares, como UCLA y Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, son mucho más selectivas, según la auditoría. Si son rechazados, se supone que estos estudiantes deben pasar por un proceso de “redireccionamiento”, en el que son aceptados en otro campus. La auditoría estatal descubrió que la CSU redirigió a más de 25,000 solicitantes de colegios comunitarios a otros campus en los últimos años.
En 2010, los legisladores de California reformaron el proceso de transferencia creando un nuevo tipo de título universitario comunitario que también garantiza la admisión a un campus de Cal State. Conocido como el título de asociado para transferencia, se ha vuelto cada vez más popular y un beneficio clave para los estudiantes, según la auditoría.
Los legisladores intentaron —y fracasaron— que el sistema de la UC garantizara la admisión de estos estudiantes de colegios comunitarios. El año pasado, los legisladores lograron un gran avance al aprobar un proyecto de ley que requerirá que la UCLA priorice la admisión de ciertos estudiantes de colegios comunitarios a partir del año académico 2026-27. Más campus de la UC participarán en años posteriores. El estado también ha presionado al sistema de colegios comunitarios para que estandarice la forma en que etiqueta los cursos para que a los estudiantes les resulte más fácil determinar qué necesitan transferir. Sin embargo, la implementación del nuevo sistema ha sido lenta y no estará completa hasta el 2027.
La última reforma importante entrará en vigor el año próximo. A partir del semestre de otoño, el sistema de colegios comunitarios ofrecerá un nuevo conjunto de requisitos previos comunes que tanto el sistema de la UC como el de Cal State han acordado aceptar.
Pero la auditoría concluyó que estas reformas por sí solas no son suficientes. Los auditores recomendaron que los campus de los colegios comunitarios encuentren formas de aumentar el número de consejeros que puedan apoyar a los estudiantes que se trasladan a otro país y que los tres sistemas de educación superior trabajen para ampliar los programas exitosos, como el Grado Asociado para Transferencias.
Cuando la colaboración es “ineficaz”
Cuando California diseñó su actual sistema de educación superior en 1960, exigió que tanto el sistema de Cal State como el de la UC hicieran espacio para las transferencias de estudiantes de colegios comunitarios. El sistema de la UC acepta admitir a un estudiante transferido por
cada dos nuevos estudiantes de primer año que se inscriban, pero no cumplió esa meta el año pasado, dijo el portavoz de la UC Stett Holbrook. Parte del problema, dijo, es que la inscripción en los colegios comunitarios disminuyó.
El sistema de Cal State no tiene un objetivo específico, pero la auditoría indicó que la mayoría de los campus aún inscriben a un gran número de estudiantes transferidos. La mayor excepción es Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, donde solo el 18% de los estudiantes que ingresaron a la universidad lo hicieron a través del sistema de transferencias en los últimos años.
En 2017, el sistema de colegios comunitarios se fijó el objetivo de aumentar el número anual de estudiantes que se transfieren de aproximadamente 80,000 a poco más de 100,000 para 2022. El sistema nunca logró ese objetivo, y la pandemia es en parte culpable, afirma la auditoría.
Paul Feist, portavoz de la Oficina del Rector de los Colegios Comunitarios de California, dijo que el próximo objetivo depende de si los campus de Cal State y UC pueden aumentar su propia inscripción.
Un desafío del proceso de transferencia es que requiere que los sistemas de la universidad comunitaria, Cal State y UC trabajen juntos. Históricamente, eso no ha sido fácil.
Cuando la Legislatura estatal permitió que el sistema de colegios comunitarios comenzara a ofrecer sus propios títulos de licenciatura (una solución que evita por completo el proceso de transferencia), los profesores de los campus de Cal State contraatacaron, temiendo que los colegios comunitarios pudieran desviar estudiantes y obligar al sistema de Cal State a perder dinero.
Cada sistema tiene una estructura diferente: la UC es constitucionalmente independiente, lo que significa que la Legislatura tiene autoridad limitada sobre ella. El sistema de Cal State es centralizado, mientras que el sistema de colegios comunitarios es más similar al sistema K-12, donde los distritos universitarios regionales toman la mayoría de las decisiones. No existe un comité de coordinación oficial entre los tres sistemas públicos de educación superior. Un comité de este tipo existía hace más de una década, pero el exgobernador Jerry Brown dejó de financiarlo “porque creía que había sido ineficaz”, según la auditoría.
La auditoría no pidió un nuevo comité, pero sí pidió a los tres sistemas de educación superior que mejoraran la forma en que comparten datos e información.

4 TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT MEDICARE PLAN
StatePoint
Withso many Medicare options available, selecting a plan can seem daunting. This year you may be wondering how news of Medicare drug price negotiations, economic uncertainties and other factors may impact your coverage in 2025.
Medicare is the government health insurance program for Americans 65 and older and others who qualify, providing hospital coverage (Part A) and physician visits (Part B) to beneficiaries. Additionally, there are a variety of options that coordinate with original Medicare, such as Medicare Supplement plans and Prescription Drug Plans, or replace original Medicare with Medicare Advantage (MA) plans combined with Prescription Drug Plans.
During this year’s Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which takes place between Oct. 15-Dec. 7, 2024, here’s what Cigna Healthcare, which serves millions of Medicare customers nationwide, wants you to know:
1. Check for plan changes: If your current plan is working for you, you can likely keep it. However, it’s a good idea to review your plan every AEP, especially if you’ve experienced major life, health or financial changes. Any changes to your current plan will be outlined in your Medicare plan’s Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter, which you can expect to receive in September.
2. Research your coverage: There are a few key things to watch for when shopping for a plan. One of them is
whether your favorite providers and specialists will be in-network. You should also review each plan’s formulary – that is, the list of drugs covered under the plan. You’ll want to find a plan that will cover your current medications and any you anticipate your doctor prescribing over the course of the year ahead. Finally, carefully consider your total spend for your prescription drug plan coverage (i.e., premiums plus pharmacy costs) since the maximum out-of-pocket costs for drugs you utilize will be capped at $2,000 in 2025.
3. Look for value: No matter what the economic outlook is, it’s wise to select a plan that provides great value. To that end, you may want to consider an MA plan, which offers quality and affordability. MA plans cover everything original Medicare does, plus more; most also include dental, vision and hearing benefits, prescription drug coverage, and other extras like over-the-counter drugs, transportation to doctor’s visits and pharmacies, healthy grocery purchases, and fitness services. MA plans are often available with $0 premiums, but you’ll also want to check on what your annual out-of-pocket costs could be based on your health status.
4. Understand your plan: Before enrolling in a particular plan, make sure you understand its ins and outs. Call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) 24/7; TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048. Or, visit the Medicare Plan Finder website at Medicare.gov/ plan-compare. For local as-

que cumplen los requisitos, que brinda a los beneficiarios cobertura hospitalaria (Parte A) y visitas al médico (Parte B). Además, hay diversas opciones que se coordinan con Medicare original, como los planes complementarios de Medicare y los planes de medicamentos recetados, o reemplazan a Medicare original con planes Medicare Advantage (MA) combinados con planes de medicamentos recetados.
Durante el Período de Inscripción Anual (AEP) de Medicare de este año, que se lleva a cabo entre el 15 de octubre y el 7 de diciembre de 2024, esto es lo que Cigna Healthcare, que atiende a millones de clientes de Medicare en todo el país, quiere que usted sepa:
1. Verifique si hay cambios en el plan: Si su plan actual funciona para usted, es probable que pueda conservarlo. Pero es buena idea revisar su plan cada AEP, especialmente si ha experimentado cambios importantes en su vida, salud o finanzas. Cualquier cambio en su plan actual se describirá en la carta de Aviso Anual de Cambio (ANOC) de su plan de Medicare, que recibirá en septiembre.
2. Investigue su cobertura: Hay algunas cosas clave a tener en cuenta al comprar un plan. Una de ellas es saber si sus proveedores y especialistas favoritos estarán dentro de la red. También debe revisar el formulario de cada plan, es decir, la lista de medicamentos cubiertos por el plan. Le conviene encontrar un plan que cubra sus medicamentos actuales y los que prevea que su médico le recetará en el transcurso del próximo año. Por último, plantéese cuidadosamente el gasto total de la cobertura de su plan de medicamentos recetados (es decir, las primas más los costos de farmacia), ya que los gastos de bolsillo máximos de los medicamen-
3. Busque el valor: Sin importar cuál sea el panorama económico, es aconsejable seleccionar un plan que ofrezca un gran valor. Con ese fin, le convendría plantearse un plan MA, que ofrece calidad y asequibilidad. Los planes MA cubren todo lo que hace Medicare original, y más; la mayoría también incluye beneficios dentales, visuales y auditivos, cobertura de medicamentos recetados y otros extras como medicamentos de venta libre, transporte a las visitas al médico y a las farmacias, compras de comestibles saludables y servicios de acondicionamiento físico. Los planes MA a menudo están disponibles con primas de $0, pero también debe verificar cuáles podrían ser los costos anuales pagaderos de su bolsillo en función de su estado de salud.
4. Comprenda su plan: Antes de inscribirse en un plan en particular, asegúrese de comprender sus pros y contras. Llame a Medicare al 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800633-4227) las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana. Los usuarios de TTY pueden llamar al 1-877-486-2048. O bien, visite el sitio web del Buscador de planes de Medicare en Medicare.gov/plan-compare.

San Francisco de Asís
San Francisco de Asís nació en Italia en el año 1182, era hijo de una familia acaudalada, y como tal, vivía una vida sin preocupaciones, disfrutando de placeres y actividades propias de la juventud. En ocasiones le gustaba participar en peleas callejeras y aventuras militares, por las cuales, estuvo varios meses encerrado en la cárcel de Perugia. Era una persona excitante, le gustaba vestirse muy bien y disfrutar de la atención de las doncellas.
En cierta ocasión fue a la iglesia y cuando se encontraba en plena oración, escuchó a una imagen de Cristo que le decía: “Ve Francisco, y repara mi casa, que como ves, está casi en la ruina.” Tomando el mensaje literalmente, decidió vender algunas de las posesiones de su padre, y usar el dinero para reparar la iglesia. Tal acción enfureció a su padre quien decidió desheredarlo. Para ese entonces, ya San Francisco había encontrado su verdadera vocación. Él sentía que todas las criaturas eran las palabras de Dios, hablaba con los pájaros, protegía a los animales, atendía a los leprosos, curaba enfermos, etc. Era un hombre muy entusiasta para todo, tremendamente espiritual y gozaba de carácter galante. Tenía dones poéticos, simplicidad, compasión, encanto, buenos modales, siempre fue muy honesto y con un enorme amor a Jesucristo. Todo ello le convirtió según las palabras de Benedicto XI en “La más perfecta imagen de Cristo que ha existido”. Su fecha de celebración es el día 4 de octubre. Se le ofrenda incienso y velas de color amarillo.
Peticiones: Se le pide por la paz del mundo, por la ecología y la naturaleza en general, para terminar con la crueldad a los animales. También

se le reza cuando se ha de establecer un nuevo comercio, y para conseguir un mejor empleo, un ascenso o un aumento de sueldo.
San Judas Tadeo
San Judas Tadeo, siervo fiel, amigo y pariente de Jesucristo. Fue uno de sus más fieles seguidores. Se le representa frecuentemente con un hacha en la mano, pues es el símbolo de su martirio. Predicó en India, Siria, y falleció en la antigua Persia. Su cuerpo fue eventualmente llevado a Roma, donde descansa y es objeto de veneración. Es el patrón de las causas desesperadas. Durante varios siglos,
los emigrantes recién llegados de Europa a tierras americanas, se acogieron a la fe y veneración de este santo. La veneración a San Judas Tadeo es muy conocida en la mayoría de naciones que profesan la fe católica. En México su veneración es una de las más populares e importantes. Es un Santo aclamado como muy milagroso. Se le ofrendan velas blancas y verdes. Su fecha de celebración es el día 28 de octubre. Y se le hace reverencia el día 28 de cada mes.
Peticiones: se le ruega por casos difíciles, situaciones desesperantes, para liberarse de injusti-
cias, de persecuciones y de todo tipo de mala suerte. También para alejar enemigos y peligros. Millones de devotos dan fe y testimonio, de los milagros obtenidos por medio de la intercesión de San Judas Tadeo.

GAVIN NEWSOM NO HA LOGRADO RESOLVER LA CRISIS DE VIVIENDA EN CALIFORNIA.
ESTAS SON TRES LECCIONES PARA KAMALA HARRIS
Kamala Harris se compromete a construir 3 millones de viviendas y apartamentos asequibles en su primer mandato como presidenta, pero el gobernador Newsom no ha cumplido una promesa de campaña similar en California. ¿Qué lecciones puede aprender?
ParaAlexei Koseff CalMatters
los observadores políticos de California, el plan de vivienda que Kamala Harris reveló recientemente puede haber causado una punzada de familiaridad.
Como eje central de su agenda para “reducir los costos para las familias estadounidenses”, la candidata presidencial demócrata se comprometió en agosto a construir 3 millones de viviendas asequibles y de alquiler adicionales durante los próximos cuatro años para abordar “una grave escasez de viviendas en todo Estados Unidos”, haciéndose eco de la plataforma del gobernador Gavin Newsom durante su primera campaña para gobernador en 2018, cuando pidió que California añadiera 3.5 millones de unidades de vivienda para 2025.
Los expertos en políticas de vivienda están entusiasmados con muchas de las ideas que Harris lanzó para promover la producción, que incluyen la creación de un nuevo incentivo fiscal para los desarrolladores que construyan viviendas iniciales para compradores de vivienda por primera vez, la expansión de un incentivo fiscal para proyectos de vivienda de alquiler asequible y el establecimiento de un “fondo de innovación” de 40 mil millones de dólares para financiar la construcción, así como la reutilización de algunas tierras federales para viviendas y la agilización de los procesos de permisos para los proyectos.
Michael Lens, profesor de planificación urbana y políticas públicas en la UCLA, lo calificó como la lista de deseos de un científico: “Esto es todo lo que hablamos en las conferencias académicas para tontos”.
Pero transformar el mercado inmobiliario desde arriba es difícil, como lo ha demostrado la experiencia de Newsom.
Si bien California ha aumentado la producción durante su mandato (se completaron alrededor de 112,000 unidades el año pasado, según el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Comunitario, en comparación con alrededor de 70,000 en 2018), todavía está construyendo solo a una quinta parte del ritmo necesario para cumplir con su objetivo original.
El gobernador reconoció que 3.5 millones de unidades “siempre fue un objetivo ambicioso” y redujo la escala. Su oficina rechazó una solicitud de entrevista para este artículo.
Incluso con nuevas prioridades políticas establecidas, los altos costos de construcción, las regulaciones onerosas, la falta de financiamiento público y la resistencia de la comunidad siguen siendo
Las autoridades de California están realizando un esfuerzo serio para facilitar la construcción de viviendas. En los últimos años, han aprobado importantes leyes que permiten a los propietarios de terrenos agregar unidades adicionales en lotes unifamiliares en vecindarios residenciales, agilizan el proceso de conversión de propiedades comerciales vacías en viviendas, protegen ciertos proyectos asequibles de largas revisiones ambientales y desafíos legales, abren terrenos propiedad de instituciones religiosas y universidades para la construcción y les dan a los desarrolladores más herramientas para acelerar los permisos en ciudades y condados que no cooperan.

obstáculos importantes para impulsar la construcción de viviendas en California, lo que ofrece lecciones para una posible administración de Harris.
“La capacidad de cambiar las cosas en la práctica va a estar limitada”, dijo Ben Metcalf, ex funcionario de vivienda estatal y federal que ahora es director gerente del Centro Terner para la Innovación en Vivienda de la Universidad de California en Berkeley. “Incluso cuando intentas aplicar sanciones y castigos, años después te das cuenta de que no tienes nada que mostrar”.
Establecer metas manejables
El alto costo de la vivienda ha sido durante mucho tiempo una de las principales preocupaciones de los californianos, pero el problema se está extendiendo por todo el país. Los datos de la industria indican que los precios de las viviendas se dispararon en los últimos cinco años, más del 50% desde 2019, mientras que el alquiler aumentó aproximadamente un tercio durante ese tiempo, superando los aumentos.
La gente que se muda de ciudades caras a áreas periféricas en busca de viviendas más asequibles o se muda a casas más grandes durante la pandemia de coronavirus ha impulsado la demanda en nuevos lugares, mientras que incluso muchas ciudades en auge reciente en pro del crecimiento se están viendo presionadas por los límites naturales de la expansión o un gusto cada vez menor por el desarrollo.
“Hay muchos motivos para pensar que podría empeorar, en el sentido de que California es un referente”, dijo Lens.
La construcción está limitada en California por terrenos costosos, límites de zonificación y tarifas locales, largos procesos de permisos y la amenaza de litigios, todo lo cual aumenta el costo de la construcción y dificulta que muchos proyec-
No está claro de dónde sacó la campaña de Harris su objetivo de 3 millones de unidades de vivienda en los próximos cuatro años, ni cómo mediría exactamente el éxito, dado el énfasis en la asequibilidad. Un portavoz de la campaña no respondió a las preguntas que buscaban una explicación más detallada, aunque aclaró que esto sería superior a la producción actual.
Eso requeriría que la presidenta Harris impulsara inmediatamente la construcción a nivel nacional en un 50%, a niveles no vistos desde antes de que el mercado inmobiliario colapsara durante la crisis financiera de 2008. El país construyó alrededor de 1.45 millones de viviendas nuevas el año pasado, según la Oficina del Censo de Estados Unidos.
La estrategia conlleva cierto riesgo político. Newsom se fijó un ambicioso objetivo en materia de vivienda cuando era candidato a gobernador, que habría exigido que California construyera 500,000 nuevas viviendas al año, y luego enfrentó críticas por no haberlo logrado.
Metcalf señaló que el plan de Harris de 3 millones de viviendas es más agresivo que la cifra de 2 millones con la que el presidente Joe Biden estaba haciendo campaña antes de abandonar la carrera este verano, pero muy por debajo de la Ley de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano de 1968, que apuntaba a la construcción o rehabilitación de 26 millones de unidades durante la próxima década, incluidos seis millones para familias de ingresos bajos y moderados.
“La última vez que vimos a un presidente entrante realmente poner un número grande y llamativo en el tablero fue esa”, dijo Metcalf. “Ella quiere poder hacer campaña para un segundo mandato diciendo: ‘Oye, lo logramos’”.
Obstáculos regulatorios claros
Los defensores proyectaron que estas políticas podrían desbloquear millones de nuevas viviendas en todo el estado, pero el impacto hasta ahora ha sido significativamente más modesto.
“Eso es un paso previo para que muchas de estas cosas funcionen”, dijo Lens. “Tenemos que hacer que la vivienda sea más admisible en más lugares”.
Según Chris Elmendorf, profesor de Derecho de la UC Davis con experiencia en derecho de la vivienda y uso del suelo, una serie de leyes para fomentar la construcción de más “unidades de vivienda auxiliares” ha sido una excepción prometedora. Desde que California obligó a los gobiernos locales a renunciar a las tasas y a los requisitos de asequibilidad y a conceder una aprobación más rápida para las casas de campo en el patio trasero y otras unidades secundarias, el estado ha experimentado un auge en la construcción de unidades de vivienda auxiliares.
Elmendorf dijo que el incentivo fiscal propuesto por Harris para las viviendas iniciales (que no es una categoría oficial, pero generalmente se refiere a viviendas más modestas que brindan un punto de entrada más barato al mercado) también podría proporcionar un impulso rápido a la oferta de viviendas.
“Si el objetivo es promover viviendas pequeñas, económicas y a precio de mercado, eso es muy diferente de lo que ha estado haciendo California”, dijo Elmendorf. “California ha podido aprobar muchas leyes, pero no ha podido aprobar muchas leyes que hagan que la vivienda sea económicamente viable”.
Los expertos sostienen que California no ha podido maximizar la eficacia de sus nuevas leyes pro-vivienda porque está priorizando tantos otros objetivos —demandas para utilizar mano de obra sindical, requisitos para más unidades asequibles con restricciones de escritura para reducir la gentrificación, consideraciones ambientales para desalentar la expansión urbana y los riesgos

climáticos— que todavía es demasiado caro construir aquí.
“California ha podido aprobar muchas leyes, pero no ha podido aprobar muchas leyes que hagan que la vivienda sea económicamente viable”.
-Chris Elmendorf, profesor de derecho en la Universidad de California en Davis
Los altos costos de mano de obra, materiales y regulaciones locales se han visto agravados últimamente por las elevadas tasas de interés, que aumentan el costo de financiación de los proyectos y pueden estar revirtiendo el progreso de California en materia de construcción.
Metcalf lo comparó con la gota que colmó el vaso para la industria de la construcción.
“Es algo en lo que casi no hemos avanzado como estado”, dijo. “Una vez que se tiene la mesa puesta, si los costos son demasiado altos, entonces no se construye nada”.
Esto es especialmente preocupante para los promotores de viviendas asequibles, que dependen en gran medida de la financiación pública. Chione Lucina Muñoz Flegal, directora ejecutiva del grupo de defensa de la vivienda asequible Housing California, dijo que a pesar de las leyes estatales que han facilitado la planificación de proyectos, los promotores siguen teniendo dificultades para reunir el dinero suficiente para llevarlos a término.
Ella tiene la esperanza de un aumento en el apoyo financiero, a través de los incentivos fiscales y el fondo de innovación del plan de Harris, que no ha estado disponible por parte de los gobiernos estatales o locales,
que según ella generalmente no han priorizado el dinero para viviendas asequibles porque los electores no comprenden los beneficios.
“Estamos lidiando con un desafío narrativo que a menudo se traduce en un desafío político”, dijo Flegal. “Esa es una manera en la que el gobierno federal podría tener un impacto que el estado nunca podría tener”.
Utilice palos además de zanahorias
Aunque Newsom dejó claro su deseo de impulsar la producción de viviendas en California, no todos han estado de acuerdo con su enfoque.
Algunas ciudades, en particular las ricas o las de los suburbios costeros, han luchado enérgicamente para restringir el desarrollo adicional en sus propias comunidades, resistiéndose a un mandato estatal que les obliga a planificar muchas más viviendas y demandando eximirse o revocar nuevas leyes que facilitan la construcción de viviendas más densas. Afirman que estas políticas destruirían el carácter de sus comunidades.
Newsom, quien sostiene que todos deben hacer su parte para resolver la crisis, ha tomado medidas enérgicas creando una nueva unidad de cumplimiento dentro del departamento de vivienda del estado y demandando a las ciudades más intransigentes por no aprobar planes de vivienda o incluso proyectos específicos.
Pero el gobierno federal no tiene la misma autoridad legal que California se ha dado a sí misma para exigir que las comunidades locales construyan más viviendas, y no hay garantía de que el Congreso esté dispuesto a intervenir para desempeñar un papel más importante en lo que tradicionalmente ha sido un asunto local en la mayoría de los estados.
“Los planes no se traducen en resultados si la gente no quiere construir viviendas”, dijo Elmendorf.
Entonces, para alcanzar su meta de 3 millones de casas nuevas, Harris tendría que depender más de los incentivos propuestos, como las exenciones impositivas para las primeras viviendas y los alquileres asequibles y el fondo de innovación, para el cumplimiento voluntario.
Los expertos creen que Harris tiene una buena oportunidad política para lograr que se apruebe su plan. El Congreso estará bajo presión el próximo año para extender una serie de recortes de impuestos realizados durante el gobierno del expresidente Donald Trump que expirarán a fines de 2025, lo que podría usarse como moneda de cambio para las propuestas de vivienda de Harris.
El gobierno federal también tiene el poder del dinero en una escala mucho más allá de California, que podría amplificar a través de regulaciones —como vincular los dólares destinados al transporte a la construcción de más viviendas— que hagan que apoyar el desarrollo sea la opción más deseable.
California ha probado este tipo de incentivo regulatorio, alentando a los gobiernos locales a eliminar obstáculos a la construcción con dinero de subvenciones y creando una “designación pro-vivienda” para las ciudades que adoptan políticas de desarrollo racionalizadas, lo que les da acceso privilegiado a fondos estatales.
“Lamentablemente, esa designación a favor de la vivienda no se basa en resultados. Así que ese es un problema fundamental”, dijo Elmendorf. “Eso es algo que Harris tendrá que resolver”.

GAVIN NEWSOM HAS NOT SOLVED CALIFORNIA’S HOUSING CRISIS. THREE LESSONS FOR
KAMALA HARRIS
Alexei Koseff CalMatters
ForCalifornia political observers, the housing plan that Kamala Harris recently unveiled may have caused a twinge of familiarity.
As a central plank of her agenda to “lower costs for American families,” the Democratic presidential nominee pledged in August to build 3 million additional affordable homes and rentals over the next four years to address “a serious housing shortage across America” — echoing Gov. Gavin Newsom’s platform during his first gubernatorial campaign in 2018, when he called for California to add 3.5 million housing units by 2025.
Housing policy experts are enthusiastic about many of the ideas that Harris floated to promote production, which include creating a new tax incentive for developers who build starter homes for first-time homebuyers, expanding a tax incentive for affordable rental housing projects and establishing a $40 billion “innovation fund” to finance construction, as well as repurposing some federal land for housing and streamlining the permitting processes for projects.
Michael Lens, a professor of urban planning and public policy at UCLA, called it a wonk’s wish list: “This is all of the stuff we talk about at dorky academic conferences.”
But transforming the housing market from the top is difficult, as Newsom’s experience has demonstrated.
While California has increased production during his time in office — about 112,000 units were completed last year, according to the Department of Housing and Community Development, compared to about 70,000 in 2018 — it is still only building at a fifth of the rate necessary to meet his original target.
The governor has since acknowledged that 3.5 million units “was always a stretch goal” and scaled back. His office declined an interview request for this story.
Even with new policy priorities in place, high construction costs, onerous regulations, lack of public funding and community resistance remain major hurdles to supercharging homebuilding in California — offering lessons for a potential Harris administration.
“You’re going to be limited in your ability to change things on the ground,” said Ben Metcalf, a former state and federal housing official who is now managing director of the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley. “Even when you are trying to move carrots and sticks, you find years later, what do you have to show?”
Set manageable goals
The high cost of housing has long been a top concern for Californians, but the problem is spreading across the nation. Industry data indicates that home prices exploded over the past five years, up more than 50% since 2019, while rent surged by about a third during that time, outstripping raises.
People moving from expensive cities to outlying areas for more affordable housing or moving into bigger homes during the coronavirus pandemic has driven up demand in new places, while even many recent pro-growth boom towns are becoming strained by the natural limits of expansion or a dimming taste for development.
“There is plenty of reason to think that it could get worse, in the sense that California is a bellwether,” Lens said.
Construction is constrained in California by pricey land, local zoning limits and fees, lengthy permitting processes and the threat of litigation, all of which drive up the cost of building and make it difficult for many projects to pencil out financially.
It’s unclear where the Harris campaign came up with its goal of 3 million housing units over the next four years — or how exactly it would measure success, given the emphasis on affordability. A campaign spokesperson did not respond to questions seeking a more detailed explanation, though he did clarify that this would be above current production.
That would require a President Harris to immediately boost construction nationwide by 50%, to levels not seen since before the housing market crashed during the 2008 financial crisis. The country built about 1.45 million new homes last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The strategy carries some political risk. Newsom set an ambitious housing goal
ising exception, according to Chris Elmendorf, a UC Davis law professor with an expertise in land use and housing law. Since California forced local governments to waive fees and affordability requirements and grant faster approval for backyard cottages and other secondary units, the state has seen a boom of ADU construction.
Elmendorf said Harris’ proposed tax incentive for starter homes — which is not an official category, but generally refers to more modest housing that provides a cheaper entry point into the market — could similarly provide a quick jolt to the housing supply.
as a candidate for governor, which would have required California to build 500,000 new homes per year, and then faced criticism for falling short.
Metcalf noted that Harris’ plan for 3 million homes is more aggressive than the 2 million figure that President Joe Biden was campaigning on before he dropped out of the race this summer, but far below the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, which targeted the construction or rehabilitation of 26 million units over the next decade, including six million for lowand moderate-income families.
“The last time we saw an incoming president really putting a big, bold number on the board was that,” Metcalf said. “She wants to be able to campaign for a second term saying, ‘Hey, we did it.’”
Clear regulatory hurdles
California officials are undertaking a serious push to make it easier to build housing. Over the past several years, they have passed major legislation that allows landowners to add additional units on singlefamily lots in residential neighborhoods, streamlines the process for turning empty commercial properties into housing, shields certain affordable projects from lengthy environmental reviews and legal challenges, opens up land owned by religious institutions and colleges for construction, and gives developers more tools to speed up permitting in uncooperative cities and counties.
Advocates projected these policies could unlock millions of new homes across the state, but the impact so far has been significantly more modest.
“That’s a precursor to making a lot of these things work,” Lens said. “We have to make housing more allowable in more places.”
A series of laws to encourage more “accessory dwelling units” has been a prom-
“If the goal is to promote small, inexpensive, market-rate homes, that’s really different than what California has been doing,” Elmendorf said. “California has been able to pass a lot of laws, but it hasn’t been able to pass many laws that make housing economically feasible.”
Experts argue that California has not been able to maximize the effectiveness of its new pro-housing laws because it is prioritizing so many other goals — demands to use union labor, requirements for more deed-restricted affordable units to reduce gentrification, environmental considerations to discourage sprawl and climate risks — that it’s still too expensive to build here.
“California has been able to pass a lot of laws, but it hasn’t been able to pass many laws that make housing economically feasible.”
-Chris Elmendorf, law professor at UC Davis
The high costs for workers, materials and local regulations have been compounded lately by elevated interest rates, which drive up the price tag to finance projects and may actually be reversing California’s progress on construction. Metcalf compared it to a straw breaking the camel’s back for the building industry.
“That’s something that we’ve made almost no progress on as a state,” he said. “Once you have the table set, if the costs are too high, then nothing gets built.”
It’s of particular concern for affordable housing developers, who rely heavily on public funding. Chione Lucina Muñoz Flegal, executive director of the affordable housing advocacy group Housing California, said that despite state laws that have made it easier to plan projects, developers continue to struggle to pull together enough money to get them over the finish line.
She is hopeful about a surge in financial support — through the tax incentives and innovation fund in Harris’ plan — that has been unavailable from state or local governments, which she said have

not generally prioritized money for affordable housing because constituents do not understand the benefits.
“There’s a narrative challenge that we’re grappling with that often translates into a political challenge,” Flegal said. “That’s a way the federal government could be impactful in a way the state could never be.”
Use sticks as well as carrots
Though Newsom made clear his desire to boost housing production in California, not everyone has been on board with his approach.
Some cities, particularly wealthy or coastal suburbs, have vigorously fought to restrict additional development in their own communities, resisting a state mandate to plan for far more housing and suing to exempt themselves or overturn new laws that make it easier to build more densely. They contend these policies would destroy the character of their communities.
Newsom, who argues that everyone must do their part to solve the crisis, has cracked down by creating a new enforcement unit within the state housing department and suing the most intransigent cities for failing to approve housing plans or even specific projects.
But the federal government does not have the same le-
gal authority that California has given itself to demand local communities build more housing, and there’s no guarantee that Congress would be willing to step in to play more of a role in what has traditionally been a local matter in most states.
“Plans don’t translate into outcomes if people don’t want to build housing,” Elmendorf said.
So to reach her goal of 3 million new homes, Harris would have to rely more on the proposed incentives, such as the tax breaks for starter homes and affordable rentals and the innovation fund, for voluntary compliance.
Experts believe she has a good political opportunity to actually get her plan passed. Congress will be under pressure next year to extend a series of tax cuts made under former President Donald Trump that are set to expire at the end of 2025, which could be used as a bargaining chip for Harris’ housing proposals.
The federal government also has the power of the purse on a scale well beyond California, which it could amplify through regulations — such as tying transportation dollars to building more housing — that make supporting development the more desirable option.
California has tried this type of regulatory incentive, encouraging local governments to remove obstacles to construction with grant money and creating a “pro-housing designation” for cities that adopt streamlined development policies, which gives them privileged access to state funds.
“Unfortunately, that pro-housing designation is not based on outcomes. So that’s a fundamental problem,” Elmendorf said. “That’s something Harris will have to figure out.”

DURING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WE CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSITY
Alejandro Maciel La Red Hispana
Onceagain we are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month which was established to highlight the contributions of Americans who have roots in Spain, Mexico, Central America, South America and the Spanishspeaking nations of the Caribbean.
According to the Office of Arts and Archives of the United States House of Representatives, this celebration dates back to President Lyndon B. Johnson, who designated the week of September 15th as National Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968.
To encourage the adoption of this celebration, six years later, President Gerald R. Ford issued a proclamation in 1974 urging schools and human rights organizations to fully participate in that week.
Two decades later, on August 17, 1988, President Ronald Reagan reiterated Ford's call for broader recognition of Americans of Hispanic origin and to this end, Congress approved Law 100-402, which extended the celebration for a period of 31 days which was called National Hispanic Heritage Month – from September 15th to October 15th.
Since then, this month has given the Hispanic, Latino or whatever community you prefer to call it, the opportunity for the rest of Americans to know the contributions they have made to society.
In this particular year, the celebration occurs at a particularly delicate moment because the migrant community has been used as a flag to win votes by one of the candidates for the presidency of the United States.
In the attempt to use them as scapegoats for all the evils that occur in the United States, it has been said that migrants contaminate the blood of this country, that they are guilty of crimes and homicides and that they even eat pets in a town of Ohio.
In this “demonization” of migrants, there is a risk of further polarizing society and of migrants becoming the target of hate crimes.
During this month we also celebrate ordinary people, like you and me, who have come to this country to contribute their efforts to make a more prosperous and powerful country.
EN EL MES DE LA HERENCIA HISPANA CELEBRAMOS NUESTRA DIVERSIDAD
Alejandro Maciel La Red Hispana
Una
vez más estamos celebrando el Mes de la Herencia Hispana que fue instaurado para resaltar las contribuciones de los estadounidenses que tienen raíces de España, México, Centroamérica, Sudamérica y las naciones de habla hispana del Caribe.
De acuerdo con la Oficina de Arte y Archivos de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos, esta celebración se remonta al presidente Lyndon B. Johnson, que designó en 1968, la semana del 15 de septiembre como la Semana Nacional de la Herencia Hispana.
Para estimular la adopción de esta celebración, seis años después, el presidente Gerald R. Ford emitió una proclama en 1974 que instaba a las escuelas y a las organizaciones de derechos humanos a participar de lleno en esa semana.
Dos décadas después, el 17 de agosto de 1988, el presidente Ronald Reagan reiteró la llamada de Ford a un reconocimiento más amplio de los estadounidenses de origen hispano y para ello el Congreso aprobó la Ley 100-402 que amplió la celebración por un periodo de 31 días al que se denominó Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana – desde el 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre.
Desde entonces, este mes ha brindado a la comunidad hispana, latina o como prefiera llamarle, la oportunidad de que el resto de los estadounidenses conozcan las contribuciones que ha hecho a la sociedad.
En este año en particular, la celebración ocurre en un momento especialmente delicado debido a que la comunidad migrante ha sido utilizada como bandera para ganar votos por parte de uno de los candidatos a la presidencia de Estados Unidos.
En el intento por utilizarlos como chivos expiatorios de todos los males que ocurren en Estados Unidos, se ha dicho que los migrantes contaminan la sangre de este país, que son culpables de crímenes y homicidios y hasta de que se comen las mascotas en un pueblo de Ohio.
En esta “demonización” de los migrantes, se corre el riesgo de polarizar aún más a la sociedad y de que los migrantes se conviertan en el blanco de crímenes de odio.
Durante este mes también celebramos a las personas comunes, como usted y como yo, que han llegado a este país para contribuir con su esfuerzo a hacer un país más próspero y poderoso.

THE WRONGFUL EXECUTION OF MARCELLUS WILLIAMS
The Missouri man pleaded innocence into his last moments.
Sunita Sohrabji Ethnic Media Services
Civil rights organizations decried Missouri’s Sept. 24 evening execution of Marcellus Williams, noting that the victim’s family and a prosecuting attorney called for him to be spared the death sentence.
Williams was executed by lethal injection at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri. He had been charged with the murder of journalist Felicia Gayle Picus, who was found dead in her home of Aug. 11, 1998. Picus was stabbed at least 43 times with one of her home kitchen knives.
Williams was sentenced to death in 2001. He maintained his innocence throughout his time in prison and in the minutes before he was executed.
Hours earlier, the US Supreme Court denied Williams’ request to halt the execution.
No DNA Evidence
The Innocence Project is one of several civil rights organizations which maintains Williams was wrongfully convicted. “No DNA evidence linked him to the crime,” wrote the organization in a statement released shortly after Williams’ death. “And the current St. Louis County prosecuting attorney acknowledged that errors made by the trial prosecutors – including mishandling the murder weapon and intentionally excluding Black prospective jurors in violation of the Constitution – contributed to a wrongful conviction.”
The Innocence Project alleged that two key eyewitnesses were paid for their testimony. The organization also stated that — despite evidence that Williams was not Picus’ killer — the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and Missouri Governor Mike Parsons pressed for Williams’ execution.
“Mr. Williams’ story echoes that of too many others caught in our country’s broken criminal legal system: a Black man convicted of killing a white woman,” wrote the Innocence Project.
NAACP
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund also maintained Williams innocence. “Tonight, our legal system tragically failed Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams for the final time,” the organization
posted to X/formerly Twitter Sept. 24 evening. “The state of Missouri executed Mr. Williams in a horrific display of inhumanity, despite compelling evidence of his innocence.”
“Tonight, we mourn his loss and honor his legacy,” wrote the NAACP.
In August, Picus’ husband Dan, a radiologist, told court officials and representatives of state Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s office that while he believed Williams was guilty, he did not want to see Williams executed, reported The Intercept.

muerta en su casa el 11 de agosto de 1998. Picus fue apuñalada al menos 43 veces con uno de los cuchillos de cocina de su casa.
Williams fue condenado a muerte en 2001. Mantuvo su inocencia durante todo su tiempo en prisión y en los minutos previos a su ejecución.
Horas antes, la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos denegó la solicitud de Williams de detener la ejecución.
Sin evidencia de ADN
El Innocence Project es una de varias organizaciones de derechos civiles que sostienen que Williams fue condenado injustamente. "Ninguna prueba de ADN lo vinculaba con el crimen", escribió la organización en un comunicado emitido poco después de la muerte de Williams. “Y el actual fiscal del condado de St. Louis reconoció que los errores cometidos por los fiscales del juicio, incluido el mal manejo del arma homicida y la exclusión intencional de posibles jurados negros en violación de la Constitución, contribuyeron a una condena injusta”.
El Innocence Project alegó que se pagó a dos testigos clave por su testimonio. La organización también afirmó que, a pesar de la evidencia de que Williams no fue el asesino de Picus, la Fiscalía General de Missouri y el gobernador de Missouri, Mike Parsons, presionaron para que se ejecutara a Williams.
"La historia de Williams hace eco en la de muchos otros atrapados en el fallido sistema legal penal de nuestro país: un hombre negro condenado por matar a una mujer blanca”, escribió Innocence Project.
NAACP
El Fondo de Defensa Legal de la NAACP también mantuvo la inocencia de Williams. “Esta noche, nuestro sistema legal le falló trágicamente a Marcellus “Khalifah” Williams por última vez”, publicó la organización en X/antes Twitter el 24 de septiembre por la noche. “El estado de Missouri ejecutó al Sr. Williams en una horrible muestra de inhumanidad, a pesar de pruebas convincentes de su inocencia”.
"Esta noche lamentamos su pérdida y honramos su legado", escribió la NAACP.
En agosto, el esposo de Picus, Dan, un radiólogo, dijo a funcionarios judiciales y representantes de la oficina del fiscal general del estado, Andrew Bailey, que si bien creía que Williams era culpable, no quería que Williams fuera ejecutado, informó The Intercept.
El hombre de Missouri se declaró inocente en sus últimos momentos.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH CELEBRATES, PRESERVES COLORADO'S GREAT OUTDOORS
Communitiesin Colorado and across the U.S. are making time to connect with nature during Hispanic Heritage Month.
Hilda Berganza, climate manager with the Hispanic Access Foundation, said Latino Conservation Week (September 14-22) saw thousands of people gathering at over 300 events. That's up from just nine events held during the initiative's launch in 2014.
"It was born from a commitment to Latinos being exposed to the outdoors. To experience being and playing in public lands, to empower families and future generations to be stewards of the planet, of the land," Berganza said.
Families of color are three times more likely than white families to live in areas considered concrete jungles without access to parks and natural areas. Due to policies some people deem racist, including redlining neighborhoods, communities of color also disproportionately live near high levels of toxic air and water pollution.
In 2022, just over 10% of Latinos were able to participate in outdoor recreation activities. Berganza said a broad coalition of community groups, nonprofits and faith-based organizations are working to change that. They are inviting families to picnics and park clean-ups, to go kayaking and hiking, to join scavenger hunts and festivals, and attend film screenings and webinars on the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems.
"We also have events at churches where community members are learning why it's important to take care of our earth from a religious and spiritual point of view," Berganza added.
Berganza said work is also being done to push towns and cities to create parks and other green spaces in historically under-invested neighborhoods.
"National parks, or state parks, or even regular parks. They are not usually around or built within the communities that Latinos live in," Berganza said.

comunidades de Colorado y de todo Estados Unidos se están tomando tiempo para conectarse con la naturaleza durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana.
Hilda Berganza, gerente climática de la Hispanic Access Foundation, dijo que la Semana de la Conservación Latina (del 14 al 22 de septiembre) vio a miles de personas reunirse en más de 300 eventos. Un aumento considerable sobre los 9 eventos celebrados durante el lanzamiento de la iniciativa en 2014.
"Nació de un compromiso de que los latinos estén expuestos al aire libre. Experimentar estar y jugar en tierras públicas, empoderar a las familias y a las generaciones futuras para que sean administradores del planeta, de la tierra", dijo Berganza.
Las familias de color tienen tres veces más probabilidades que las familias blancas de vivir en áreas consideradas junglas de concreto sin acceso a parques y áreas naturales. Debido a políticas que algunas personas consideran racistas, incluida la línea roja de vecindarios, las comunidades de color también viven de manera desproporcionada cerca de altos niveles de contaminación tóxica del aire y el agua.
En 2022, poco más del 10% de los latinos pudieron participar en actividades recreativas al aire libre. Berganza dijo que una amplia coalición de grupos comunitarios, organizaciones sin fines de lucro y organizaciones religiosas están trabajando para cambiar eso. Están invitando a las familias a picnics y limpieza de parques, a practicar kayak y caminatas, a unirse a festivales y búsquedas del tesoro, y a asistir a proyecciones de películas y seminarios web sobre la importancia de mantener ecosistemas saludables.
"También tenemos eventos en iglesias donde los miembros de la comunidad aprenden por qué es importante cuidar nuestra tierra desde un punto de vista religioso y espiritual", agregó Berganza.
Berganza dijo que también se está trabajando para presionar a los pueblos y ciudades a crear parques y otros espacios verdes en vecindarios con históricamente poca inversión.
"Parques nacionales, o parques estatales, o incluso parques regulares. Por lo general, no se encuentran alrededor de las comunidades en las que viven los latinos", dijo Berganza.

California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property.

NEWSOM SIGNS BILL TO FIGHT INTIMIDATION AT CA POLLING PLACES
Padilla introduces federal ban on open carry at polls
Withthe election six weeks away - concern is building about attempts to intimidate voters at the polls - so lawmakers are taking action at the state and federal levels. On Tuesday September 24, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the PEACE Act, which makes California the first state in the nation to state explicitly that open carrying a gun in or near a polling place constitutes illegal harassment.
Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program for the nonprofit Brennan Center for Justice, said the measure is important.
"It represents some really commonsense principles. All voters, all election workers, should be able to participate and run our democracy free from intimidation. And visible guns around our elections are intimidating," he said.
A recent survey of election workers from the Brennan Center found that 40% report being subject to threats, abuse, or harassment.
On Wednesday September 25, Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., introduced a bill to ban open carry of firearms in polling places nationwide - noting the country has a long history of scare tactics on election day.
"There's individuals out there stoked by partisan rhetoric and false narratives about election fraud that have taken it upon themselves to either discourage at a minimum, or sometimes outright intimidate people into not letting their voice be heard in the democratic process," Padilla said.
Both political parties plan to have poll watchers present this year. The Brennan Center has set up a hotline at 866-OURVOTE for people to report any efforts to intimidate voters or election workers.
introduce prohibición federal de llevar armas a la vista en las urnas
Aseissemanas de las elecciones, aumenta la preocupación por los intentos de intimidar a los votantes en las urnas, por lo que los legisladores están tomando medidas a nivel estatal y federal. El martes 24 de septiembre, el gobernador Gavin Newsom firmo la Ley PEACE, que convierte a California en el primer estado de la nación en declarar explícitamente que portar abiertamente un arma en o cerca de un lugar de votación constituye acoso ilegal. Sean MoralesDoyle es director del Programa de Derechos Electorales del Brennan Center for Justice, una organización sin fines de lucro.
"Representa algunos principios realmente de sentido común. Todos los votantes, todos los trabajadores electorales, deberían poder participar y administrar nuestra democracia sin intimidación. Y las armas visibles alrededor de nuestras elecciones son intimidantes," enfatizo Morales-Doyle.
Una encuesta reciente de trabajadores electorales del Centro Brennan encontró que el 40% informa haber sido objeto de amenazas, abuso o acoso.
El miércoles 25 de septiembre, el senador de California Alex Padilla presento un proyecto de ley para prohibir la portación abierta de armas de fuego en los lugares de votación en todo el país, señalando que el país tiene una larga historia de tácticas de miedo el día de las elecciones.
"Hay personas avivadas por la retórica partidista y las narrativas falsas sobre el fraude electoral que se han encargado de desalentar, como mínimo, o a veces directamente intimidar a las personas para que no dejen que su voz sea escuchada en el proceso democrático," insistió también Padilla. Ambos partidos políticos planean tener observadores electorales presentes este ano. El Centro Brennan ha establecido una línea directa en 866-OUR-VOTE para que las personas informen sobre cualquier intento de intimidar a los votantes o a los trabajadores electorales.
