casualidad. Exactamente a cinco semanas de las elecciones del 5 de noviembre, al presidente Joe Biden se le ocurrió que era el mejor momento de endurecer aún más las restricciones al derecho de asilo y afectar a las personas más vulnerables.
¿Será casualidad que la candidata presidencial demócrata Kamala Harris tenga en el tema migratorio una de sus mayores flaquezas?
Con razón o sin ella, los votantes estadounidenses tienen más confianza en las políticas migratorias de Donald Trump que en las promesas migratorias de Kamala. El 50% de votantes registrados dijeron en un sondeo de CNN que confían en Trump para el trabajo en materia de inmigración y sólo mientras que el 34% en Harris.
Trump expresó su deseo de convertirse en dictador por un día si gana las elecciones. Su primera decisión como dictador: cerrar la frontera con México. Más adelante su sueño es lanzar el programa de deportaciones masivas más ambicioso en la historia, usando al ejército de Estados Unidos.
“Si Kamala es reelegida, su ciudad y todas las ciudades similares en todo Wisconsin y en todo nuestro país, el corazón, la costa, no importa, se transformarán en un infierno del Tercer Mundo”, dijo Trump el sábado pasado en Wisconsin.
Y un días antes, la candidata presidencial demócrata sostuvo durante una visita a la frontera con México en la zona de Douglas, Arizona, que iría más allá que Joe Biden para castigar a ciertos migrantes reincidentes y para salvaguardar la frontera.
“Haré más para proteger nuestra frontera, para reducir los cruces fronterizos ilegales. Tomaré medidas adicionales para mantener la frontera cerrada entre los puertos de entrada; aquellos que crucen nuestras fronteras de manera ilegal serán detenidos y expulsados, y se les prohibirá volver a ingresar durante cinco años”, sentenció.
También advirtió que si alguien no presenta una solicitud de asilo en un punto de entrada legal y, en su lugar, cruza nuestra frontera de manera ilegal, se le prohibirá recibir asilo. “Aunque entendemos que muchas personas están desesperadas por migrar a los Estados Unidos, nuestro sistema debe ser ordenado y seguro, y ese es mi objetivo”, señaló Harris.
Tristemente, todo parece indicar que Donald Trump y Kamala Harris están enfrascados en una carrera para mostrarse como los más “duros” contra los inmigrantes indocumentados.
De Trump ya conocíamos su enfoque migratorio durante los cuatro años de su presidencia, donde se encargó de separar a niños migrantes de sus padres y aplicar férreas políticas para frenar la llegada de migrantes durante la pandemia.
En el caso de Harris hay un evidente endurecimiento de sus posturas migratorias para inocularse de las críticas de los republicanos de que durante los últimos cuatro años se aplicó una política de “fronteras abiertas”. Ciertamente apoya una reforma migratoria, pero es más fácil cerrar la frontera por orden ejecutiva que cambiar la ley.
Los politólogos dirán que soy un ingenuo, que lo que ocurre es absolutamente lógico. Es lo que se conoce como la “realpolitik”, un sistema de política basado en consideraciones prácticas más que morales o ideológicas. En otras palabras, el fin justifica los medios.
Lo lamentable es que la carne de cañón de estos desesperados bombardeos electorales son familias de carne y hueso que huyen de la violencia o la inseguridad, del hambre, del autoritarismo o de todo lo anterior. Y en lugar de encontrar a un país que escuche su reclamo, se topan con un guardia fronterizo que les cierra la puerta en la cara.

Whata coincidence. Exactly five weeks before the November 5 elections, President Joe Biden thought it was the best time to further tighten restrictions on the right to asylum and affect the most vulnerable people.
Is it a coincidence that one of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ greatest weaknesses is the immigration issue?
Rightly or wrongly, American voters have more confidence in Donald
Trump's immigration policies than in Kamala's immigration promises. 50% of registered voters said in a CNN poll that they trust Trump to do the job on immigration and only 34% in Harris.
Trump expressed his desire to become a dictator on day one if he wins the election. His first decision as a dictator: close the border with Mexico. Later, his dream is to launch the most ambitious mass deportation program in history, using the US military.
“If Kamala is re-elected, her city and all cities like it throughout Wisconsin and throughout our country, the heartland, the coast, it doesn't matter, will be transformed into a Third World hell,” Trump said last Saturday in Wisconsin.
And a day earlier, the Democratic presidential candidate said during a visit to the border with Mexico in the Douglas, Arizona area, that she would go further than Joe Biden to punish certain repeat migrants and to safeguard the border.
“I will do more to protect our border, to reduce illegal border crossings. I will take additional measures to keep the border closed between ports of entry; those who cross our borders illegally will be detained and expelled, and they will be prohibited from re-entering for five years,” she said.
She also warned that if someone does not file an asylum application at a legal point of entry and instead crosses our border illegally, they will be barred from receiving asylum. “While we understand that many people are desperate to migrate to the United States, our system must be orderly and safe, and that is my goal,” Harris said.
Sadly, everything seems to indicate that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are engaged in a race to show themselves as the “toughest” against undocumented immigrants.
We already knew about Trump’s immigration approach during the four years of his presidency, where he was in charge of separating migrant children from their parents and applying strict policies to stop the arrival of migrants during the pandemic.
In Harris’ case, there is an evident hardening of her immigration positions to inoculate herself from the criticism of Republicans that feel that during the last four years an “open borders” policy was applied. She certainly supports immigration reform, but it is easier to close the border by executive order than to change the law.
Political scientists will say that I am naive, that what is happening is absolutely logical. It is what is known as “realpolitik”, a system of politics based on practical considerations rather than moral or ideological ones. In other words, the end justifies the means.
The sad thing is that the cannon fodder for these desperate electoral bombardments are families of flesh and blood fleeing violence or insecurity, hunger, authoritarianism or all of the above. And instead of finding a country that will listen to their claim, they come across a border guard who closes the door in their face.

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

VOMITING, CRAMPS AND LETHARGY: AS HEAT RISES, CALIFORNIA KIDS ARE SWELTERING
IN SCHOOLS WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING
An estimated 1 in 5 schools has no air conditioning and another 10% need repair. Underfunded schools struggle to keep classrooms cool as heat waves intensify. “It’s a hot mess,” one teacher says.
Alejandra Reyes-Velarde CalMatters
Inher fifth grade class in a Los Angeles school, on a day when outdoor temperatures reached 116 degrees, the heat gave Lilian Chin a headache. The air conditioner in her classroom was broken. Her fingers felt numb and she vomited in class, according to her mother. The nurse wasn’t available, so she was sent back to her hot classroom.
By the time the school day was over and Lilian made it to her mother’s air conditioned car, she was exhausted and red-faced. At home, she vomited again and got a leg cramp. Veronica Chin rushed her 11-year-old daughter to an emergency room, where she was diagnosed with heat exhaustion — a serious condition that leads to a life-threatening heat stroke if not treated promptly.
When Chin called the school, Haskell Elementary STEAM Magnet, to complain about the broken air conditioning, she received an email that a repair ticket had been created. The San Fernando Valley school, in the Los Angeles Unified School District, had marked the repair a “low priority.” (School officials did not respond to CalMatters’ questions when a reporter called and visited the campus.)
Chin was furious. “I’m trusting them with my children,” she said. “I’m thinking that my children are in a safe space, when they’re not.”
As climate change intensifies heat waves, California schools are unprepared to protect their students from extreme heat. Some schools don’t have air conditioning at all, because they were built before hotter climates made it a necessity. Others have old systems pushed to their limits, with school districts struggling to keep up with repairs or replacements with limited staff and funding.
For instance, in Long Beach — which reached a record high of 109 degrees last month — all or most buildings in 13 public schools with about 14,000 students have no air conditioning systems. In Oakland, as many as 2,000 classrooms don’t have them. And in Fresno, officials have been overwhelmed with more than 5,000 calls for air conditioning repairs in the past 12 months.
Between 15 and 20% of California’s kindergarten through 12th grade public schools “have no functioning heating and air conditioning systems at all, and as many as another 10% of schools need major repair or replacement for their systems to function adequately,” UC Berkeley and Stanford University researchers wrote in a report last year. Some advocates say that is likely an underestimate.
School officials say they would need tens of billions of dollars to install and repair air conditioning. Many of the worst problems are in hot, inland school districts that serve low-income communities of color, where there are fewer financial resources to replace or repair them.
“If it’s too hot, just like if you’re too hungry, it’s almost impossible to learn, so the impact on students and teachers is great,” said Paul Idsvoog, the Fresno Unified School District’s chief operations officer. “If you have multiple systems that are 20 years old, sooner or later you’re not going to be able to keep up with the tide.”
Voters in November will be asked to approve a $10 billion school infrastructure bond to fund repairs and upgrades of buildings at K-12
schools and community colleges, including air conditioning systems.
Gov. Gavin Newsom last month vetoed a bill that would have created a master plan for climate-resilient schools, including an assessment of when air conditioning systems were last modernized. State officials currently do not collect data on air conditioning in schools.
Nationally 41% of school districts need to update or replace their heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems in at least half of their schools, according to a federal study.
In California, the problems are common statewide, jeopardizing children and teachers in inland as well as coastal communities.
“It’s just a hot mess,” said Aaron Kahlenberg, a teacher at Los Angeles Unified’s John F. Kennedy High School in Granada Hills. “When it was cool out, it worked, and when it got hot, it didn’t work. It got to be very frustrating.”
Absences rise and learning drops on hot days
Hot classrooms lead to more student and teacher illnesses and absences, and studies show that they reduce children’s ability to learn.
On a recent day in Oakland when outdoor temperatures reached 88 degrees, 8thgrader Juliette Sanchez felt sticky and hot in a stuffy room at Melrose Leadership Academy.
“For me it’s a lot harder to focus on what I’m doing,” Sanchez said. “Like, right now I’m sticking to the table. It’s uncomfortable to write. My arm is sticky and I’m just hot.”
Student performance on exams declines by up to 14% on hot days, according to a 2018 Harvard study in New York City. According to another study, an increase in the average temperature of 1 degree leads to 1% less learning, measured by changes in test scores.
For Black and brown students, the learning losses are even greater, said V. Kelly Turner, a heat expert at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs who has researched hot schools.
“They’re already perhaps in schools that don’t have enough teachers or enough supplies, and then put on top of that, they’re going to hot homes,” she said. “Maybe they don’t have any rights to install air conditioning systems. Maybe they live in mobile homes and have
even fewer rights.”
“For me it’s a lot harder to focus on what I’m doing. Like right now, I’m sticking to the table. It’s uncomfortable to write. My arm is sticky and I’m just hot.”
-Juliette Sanchez, 8th grader at an Oakland school
A state program, called CalSHAPE, helps public schools improve air conditioning and water systems. Between 2021 and 2023, more than 3,800 schools were awarded $421 million to assess their systems, with 11 undertaking major repairs or replacements.
However, in August, state legislators considered eliminating the program as part of a plan to give utility ratepayers small rebates. Although the bill failed, the program has been closed to new applications since July. More than a dozen school districts have urged the state Energy Commission to reopen applications.
The attempt to gut the program worries school and environmental advocates, who say the state is failing to prioritize schools as climate change raises temperatures.
“For many schools, cooling is no longer just a nicety, but a necessity,” Jonathan Klein, head of UndauntedK12, an organization that supports schools transitioning to zero emissions to reduce greenhouse gasses, said in a statement. “Students and staff deserve safe, healthy, resilient school campuses that support teaching and learning amidst extreme weather.”
Fixing air conditioners: $9 billion in LA schools alone
Most students return to school in mid-August or early September, when much of the state — particularly in the Los Angeles region — suffers its most intense heat waves. Some schools also operate year-round.
In the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, classroom temperatures reached into the mid 90s during an early September heat wave.
Teachers at several schools there told CalMatters that their requests for air conditioning repairs went unanswered or were slow to come. Portable units installed in classrooms were insufficient to keep temperatures comfortable enough for students to learn. Students were
visibly lethargic from the heat. Some parents opted to keep their children home.
Kahlenberg, who teaches high school architecture, said he had asked for the air conditioning in his classroom to be repaired for weeks. By the time a heat wave hit in early September, it still wasn’t fixed. His classroom temperature reached 95 degrees.
“Everybody was tired,” Kahlenberg said. “I told them if they needed to take a break, that if they didn’t want to work, it was totally acceptable. I would just extend the project. But it just shouldn’t have to be like that.”
Kahlenberg said teachers told him about 20 other classrooms at his school also didn’t have working air conditioning during that heat wave.
A physical education teacher in another Los Angeles school said she spent weeks before the September heat wave trying to flag air conditioning problems in her office. (The teacher wished to remain anonymous out of fear she would be disciplined for discussing the issue with CalMatters.)
Then, when the extreme heat came and the gymnasium temperature was too hot for the students, she and others informed the school. She said the school responded on the last day of the heat wave that students could sit outside in shade if they needed to. The suggestion dumbfounded her: Why would she have her students sit outside, where it was even hotter than in the gym?
All schools in Los Angeles Unified have air conditioners. But Krisztina Tokes, the district’s chief facilities executive, said 50,000 faulty or aged units and pieces of equipment need to be replaced in the district’s more than 1,000 schools.
LA Unified, the largest school district in the state, has invested $1 billion to upgrade heating, ventilation and cooling systems in the last two decades, including $287 million for 20 projects that are currently under construction or being designed.
Tokes said officials work to keep students safe by following protocols when air conditioning breaks down, such as installing portable units or moving students to spare, air conditioned spaces. Outside, schools place portable misting fans and commercial-grade pop-up tents for shade.
School days were cut short in schools where district officials felt they couldn’t provide a safe learning environment. Air conditioning systems are also checked at the start of summer and again just before classes start. Teachers and staff are trained to identify and respond to signs of heat related illness, a district spokesperson said.
“Under no circumstance should there be a child or parent thinking their health isn’t being addressed,” Tokes said. “There were conditions that were beyond the district’s control.”
Replacing all air conditioners in the district’s schools would cost at least $9 billion, according to Amanda Wherritt, Los Angeles Unified’s deputy chief of staff.
“It’s really about financial resources,” Tokes said. “We do not receive enough money from the state to either repair or replace our systems.”
Even coastal schools are sweltering

While many classrooms throughout the state have air conditioning, those that don’t are often in coastal areas. Many of these schools were built in the 1950s or 60s, before the warming effects of climate change had worsened heat waves.
In Long Beach less than a decade ago, 51 out of 84 schools didn’t have air conditioning in all classrooms. Since then, a $1.5 billion local facilities bond has helped the school district upgrade many of them.
But 13 schools, serving about a quarter of the district’s students, still won’t be fully air conditioned for at least another three years. One school, Polytechnic High School, which has about 4,000 students, will undergo major renovations, including adding air conditioning, that won’t be complete until 2028, said Alan Reising, Long Beach Unified School District’s facilities and operations assistant superintendent. In the meantime, officials installed portable air conditioners and outdoor shade structures in many of the schools, Reising said.
Some inland Long Beach neighborhoods experience five high-heat days a year when temperatures exceed 97 degrees.
“Arguably, we haven’t needed it,” Reising said. But now, he said, “with the obvious signs of climate change, we have more hot days we have to deal with every year. There’s no thought that it’s going to get better in the future, so the need for air conditioning now has become very obvious.”
In the San Diego Unified School District, all 175 schools now have air conditioning. The district spent $460 million between 2013 and 2019 to install systems in the 118 schools that didn’t have them.
While many of the systems are newer as a result, they’re still breaking down, with students saying some classrooms reached around 100 degrees in September. Some San Diego neighborhoods have four high-heat days a year that exceed 91 degrees.
“We were definitely experiencing some air conditioning issues throughout the district. We are doing our best to respond to all repair requests as quickly as possible,” said Samer Naji, a district spokesperson.
“With the obvious signs of climate change, we have more hot days. There’s no thought that it’s going to get better in the future, so the need for air conditioning now has become very obvious.”
Alan Reising, Long Beach Unified School District
In the Oakland Unified School District, about 2,000 classrooms in 77 schools have no air conditioners. In late September, outdoor temperatures reached 88 degrees; some Oakland neighborhoods have seven days a year that exceed 89 degrees.
Equipping those schools with air conditioning would be an expensive and complicated task that would cost at least $400 million, said Preston Thomas, Oakland Unified School District’s chief systems and services officer.
At Melrose Learning Academy in Oakland, students said the heat makes it hard to focus. Lyra Modersbach, an eighth grader who is a member of an environmental club at the school, said she has noticed temperatures getting hotter year after year. When she’s home, she can wear cool clothes and rest to beat the heat, but she can’t do that at school.
The heat “is very distracting. I’ve noticed having a harder time getting my work done or feeling frustrated.”
Lyra Modersbach, eighth grader at an Oakland School
Modersbach said her school has a few portable air conditioners but if too many are on at once, they shut off.
The heat “is very distracting,” she said. “I’ve noticed having a harder time getting my work done or feeling frustrated.”
As members of the Youth Versus Apocalypse environmental club, Modersbach and Juliette Sanchez advocated for their school to stop using a gas boiler and invest in an energyefficient heat pump that will provide air conditioning. The district will use funds from a 2020 $735 million bond measure to install heat pumps at their school next year.
Inland schools have little money to invest
While many inland schools are fully air conditioned, some don’t have air conditioning in their gymnasiums, cafeterias and multi-purpose rooms.
Many inland school districts, where 100-degree days are common, have far fewer financial resources than wealthier coastal districts, said Sara Hinkley, California program manager for UC Berkeley’s Center for Cities + Schools.
“Most of the spending on facility upgrades is based on local bond measures, which is based on your ability to levy property taxes,” she said. “So districts that have lower levels of property values per student are able to raise less money to upgrade their facilities.”
“Districts that have lower levels of property values per student are able to raise less money to upgrade their facilities.”
Sara Hinkley, UC Berkeley’s Center for Cities + Schools
School districts in the Central Valley and the Inland Empire are among those that have invested less money because of lower property values and a smaller voter base to tap into, Hinkley said.
“There’s no environmental justice or climate equity imperative. That would take an active regulation to change how bond disbursements are made in the state,” said UCLA’s Turner. “The state could go a long way by investing in better technical assistance to communities to apply for these funds and focusing on priority schools.”
Fresno Unified School District, where 90% of students are on free or reduced lunch plans, recently invested $60 million in federal funds to replace or install air conditioning systems in some of its gyms, cafeterias and multi-purpose rooms, said Alex Belanger, chief executive over the district’s operations.
But the district needs about $500 million to improve its heating and ventilation systems, Belanger said.
Belanger said during heat waves, it’s “all hands on deck” to keep students cool. Staff work weekends and nights to repair air conditioning systems and the school provides temporary chillers and portable air conditioning if systems break down.
Idsvoog said the Fresno school district would like to invest in energy efficient strategies such as building well-insulated schools with green space and oriented in a way that won’t absorb heat. But there’s simply no money to do so.
“The reality is it’s not going to get any cooler and resources will always be a challenge for any school district,” Idsvoog said. “Any assistance, grants or state funding that can support those efforts is more than welcome.”
VÓMITOS, CALAMBRES Y LETARGO: LOS NIÑOS DE CALIFORNIA SE SOFOCAN EN LAS ESCUELAS SIN AIRE ACONDICIONADO
Se estima que una de cada cinco escuelas no tiene aire acondicionado y otro 10% necesita reparaciones. Las escuelas con fondos insuficientes luchan por mantener las aulas frescas a medida que se intensifican las olas de calor. "Es un desastre", dice un maestro.
Alejandra Reyes-Velarde CalMatters
Ensu clase de quinto grado en una escuela de Los Ángeles, un día en que las temperaturas exteriores alcanzaron los 46 grados Celsius, el calor le provocó dolor de cabeza a Lilian Chin. El aire acondicionado de su aula estaba roto. Tenía los dedos entumecidos y vomitó en clase, según su madre. La enfermera no estaba disponible, por lo que la enviaron de vuelta a su calurosa aula.
Cuando terminó la jornada escolar, Lilian llegó al coche con aire acondicionado de su madre, estaba exhausta y con la cara roja. En casa, volvió a vomitar y sufrió un calambre en la pierna. Verónica Chin llevó rápidamente a su hija de 11 años a una sala de urgencias, donde le diagnosticaron agotamiento por calor, una afección grave que puede provocar un golpe de calor potencialmente mortal si no se trata con prontitud.
Cuando Chin llamó a la escuela, Haskell Elementary STEAM Magnet, para quejarse por el aire acondicionado averiado, recibió un correo electrónico en el que se le informaba de que se había creado un ticket de reparación. La escuela de San Fernando Valley, en el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Ángeles, había marcado la reparación como de “baja prioridad”. (Los funcionarios de la escuela no respondieron a las preguntas de CalMatters cuando un periodista llamó y visitó el campus).
Chin estaba furiosa. “Les confío a mis hijos”, dijo. “Pienso que mis hijos están en un lugar seguro, cuando no es así”.
A medida que el cambio climático intensifica las olas de calor, las escuelas de California no están preparadas para proteger a sus estudiantes del calor extremo. Algunas escuelas no tienen aire acondicionado, porque se construyeron antes de que los climas más cálidos lo convirtieran en una necesidad. Otras tienen sistemas antiguos que se han llevado al límite, y los distritos escolares luchan por mantenerse al día con las reparaciones o reemplazos con personal y fondos limitados.
Por ejemplo, en Long Beach (que alcanzó una temperatura récord de 109 grados el mes pasado), la mayoría de los edificios de 13 escuelas públicas con unos 14,000 estudiantes no tienen sistemas de aire acondicionado. En Oakland, hasta 2,000 aulas no los tienen. Y en Fresno, las autoridades se han visto desbordadas con más de 5,000 llamadas para reparaciones de aire acondicionado en los últimos 12 meses.
Entre el 15 y el 20% de las escuelas públicas de California, desde el jardín de infantes hasta el 12º grado, “ no tienen ningún sistema de calefacción y aire acondicionado en funcionamiento, y hasta otro 10% de las escuelas necesitan reparaciones importantes o reemplazo para que sus sistemas funcionen adecuadamente”, escribieron investigadores de la Universidad de California en Berkeley y la Universidad de Stanford en un informe el año pasado. Algunos defensores dicen que es probable que se trate de una subestimación.
Los funcionarios escolares dicen que se necesitarían decenas de miles de millones de dólares para instalar y reparar el aire acondicionado. Muchos de los peores problemas se dan en los distritos escolares del interior, donde hace calor y que atienden a comunidades de color de bajos ingresos, donde hay menos recursos financieros para reemplazarlos o repararlos.
“Si hace demasiado calor, al igual que si tienes demasiada hambre, es casi imposible aprender, por lo que el impacto en los estudiantes y los
maestros es enorme”, dijo Paul Idsvoog, director de operaciones del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fresno. “Si tienes varios sistemas que tienen 20 años, tarde o temprano no podrás seguir el ritmo de la marea”.
En noviembre se pedirá a los votantes que aprueben un bono de infraestructura escolar de 10 mil millones de dólares para financiar reparaciones y mejoras de edificios en escuelas primarias y secundarias y colegios comunitarios, incluidos los sistemas de aire acondicionado.
El gobernador Gavin Newsom vetó el mes pasado un proyecto de ley que habría creado un plan maestro para escuelas resistentes al clima, incluida una evaluación de cuándo se modernizaron por última vez los sistemas de aire acondicionado. Actualmente, los funcionarios estatales no recopilan datos sobre el aire acondicionado en las escuelas.
A nivel nacional, el 41% de los distritos escolares necesitan actualizar o reemplazar sus sistemas de calefacción, aire acondicionado y ventilación en al menos la mitad de sus escuelas, según un estudio federal.
En California, los problemas son comunes en todo el estado y ponen en peligro a los niños y maestros tanto de las comunidades del interior como de las costeras.
“Es un desastre”, dijo Aaron Kahlenberg, un maestro de la escuela secundaria John F. Kennedy del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Ángeles en Granada Hills “Cuando hacía frío, funcionaba, y cuando hacía calor, no. Llegó a ser muy frustrante”.
Las ausencias aumentan y el aprendizaje disminuye en los días calurosos
Las aulas calurosas provocan más enfermedades y ausencias de alumnos y profesores, y los estudios muestran que reducen la capacidad de los niños para aprender.
En un día reciente en Oakland, cuando las temperaturas exteriores alcanzaron los 88 grados, Juliette Sánchez, estudiante de octavo grado, se sintió pegajosa y acalorada en una habitación sofocante en Melrose Leadership Academy. “A mí me resulta mucho más difícil concentrarme en lo que estoy haciendo”, dijo Sánchez. “Ahora mismo estoy pegado a la mesa. Es incómodo escribir. Tengo el brazo pegajoso y tengo calor”.
Según un estudio de Harvard de 2018 en la ciudad de Nueva York, el rendimiento de los estudiantes en los exámenes disminuye hasta un 14% en los días calurosos. Según otro estudio, un aumento de la temperatura media de 1 grado provoca un 1 % menos de aprendizaje, medido por los cambios en las puntuaciones de los exámenes.
Para los estudiantes negros y latinos, las pérdidas de aprendizaje son aún mayores, dijo V. Kelly Turner, un experto en calor de la Escuela Luskin de Asuntos Públicos de la UCLA que ha investigado las escuelas calurosas.
“Quizás ya estén en escuelas que no tienen suficientes profesores o suficientes materiales, y además, van a casas donde hace calor”, dijo. “Quizás no tengan ningún derecho a instalar sistemas de aire acondicionado. Quizás vivan en casas móviles y tengan aún menos derechos”. “A mí me resulta mucho más difícil concentrarme en lo que estoy haciendo. Ahora mismo estoy pegado a la mesa. Es incómodo escribir. Tengo el brazo pegajoso y tengo calor”.

grado en una escuela de Oakland
Un programa estatal, llamado CalSHAPE, ayuda a las escuelas públicas a mejorar los sistemas de aire acondicionado y agua. Entre 2021 y 2023, más de 3,800 escuelas recibieron 421 millones de dólares para evaluar sus sistemas, y 11 de ellas realizaron reparaciones o reemplazos importantes.
Sin embargo, en agosto, los legisladores estatales consideraron eliminar el programa como parte de un plan para otorgar pequeños reembolsos a los contribuyentes de servicios públicos. Aunque el proyecto de ley fracasó, el programa ha estado cerrado a nuevas solicitudes desde julio. Más de una docena de distritos escolares han instado a la Comisión de Energía del estado a reabrir las solicitudes.
El intento de desmantelar el programa preocupa a los defensores de las escuelas y el medio ambiente, quienes dicen que el estado no está priorizando a las escuelas a medida que el cambio climático aumenta las temperaturas.
“Para muchas escuelas, la refrigeración ya no es solo un lujo, sino una necesidad”, dijo en un comunicado Jonathan Klein, director de UndauntedK12, una organización que apoya a las escuelas en la transición hacia cero emisiones para reducir los gases de efecto invernadero.
“Los estudiantes y el personal merecen campus escolares seguros, saludables y resilientes que respalden la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en medio de condiciones climáticas extremas”.
Reparación de aires acondicionados: 9 mil millones de dólares solo en escuelas de Los Ángeles
La mayoría de los estudiantes regresan a clases a mediados de agosto o principios de septiembre, cuando gran parte del estado sufre las olas de calor más intensas. Algunas escuelas también funcionan durante todo el año.
En la región del Valle de San Fernando de Los Ángeles, las temperaturas en las aulas alcanzaron los 90 grados durante una ola de calor de principios de septiembre.
Los maestros de varias escuelas de la zona dijeron a CalMatters que sus solicitudes de reparación del aire acondicionado no recibieron respuesta o tardaron en llegar. Las unidades portátiles instaladas en las aulas no eran suficientes para mantener temperaturas lo suficientemente agradables para que los estudiantes pudieran estudiar. Los estudiantes estaban visiblemente aletargados por el calor. Algunos padres optaron por mantener a sus hijos en casa.
Kahlenberg, que enseña arquitectura en la escuela secundaria, dijo que había pedido durante semanas que se reparara el aire acondicionado de su aula. Cuando llegó la ola de calor a principios de septiembre, todavía no lo habían arreglado. La temperatura en su aula alcanzó los 35 grados.
“Todos estaban cansados”, dijo Kahlenberg. “Les dije que si necesitaban tomarse un descanso, que si no querían trabajar, era totalmente aceptable. Simplemente prolongaría el proyecto. Pero no debería ser así”.
Kahlenberg dijo que los maestros le dijeron que otras 20 aulas de su escuela tampoco tenían aire acondicionado funcionando durante esa ola de calor.
Una profesora de educación física de otra escuela de Los Ángeles dijo que, antes de la ola de calor de septiembre, había pasado semanas intentando señalar los problemas con el aire acondicionado en su oficina (la profesora pidió permanecer en el anonimato por temor a que la sancionaran por hablar del tema con CalMatters).
Luego, cuando llegó el calor extremo y la temperatura del gimnasio era demasiado alta para los estudiantes, ella y otros informaron a la escuela. Ella dijo que la escuela respondió el último día de la ola de calor que los estudiantes podían sentarse afuera a la sombra si lo necesitaban. La sugerencia la dejó perpleja: ¿Por qué haría que

sus estudiantes se sentaran afuera, donde hacía incluso más calor que en el gimnasio?
Todas las escuelas del Distrito Unificado de Los Ángeles tienen aire acondicionado, pero Krisztina Tokes, directora ejecutiva de instalaciones del distrito , dijo que es necesario reemplazar 50,000 unidades y equipos defectuosos o viejos en las más de 1.000 escuelas del distrito.
El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Ángeles, el más grande del estado, ha invertido mil millones de dólares para mejorar los sistemas de calefacción, ventilación y refrigeración en las últimas dos décadas, incluidos 287 millones de dólares para 20 proyectos que actualmente están en construcción o en diseño.
Tokes dijo que los funcionarios trabajan para mantener seguros a los estudiantes siguiendo los protocolos cuando el aire acondicionado falla, como instalar unidades portátiles o trasladar a los estudiantes a espacios libres con aire acondicionado. En el exterior, las escuelas colocan ventiladores portátiles y carpas comerciales emergentes para dar sombra.
Los días de clase se acortaron en las escuelas donde los funcionarios del distrito consideraron que no podían proporcionar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro. Los sistemas de aire acondicionado también se revisan al comienzo del verano y nuevamente justo antes de que comiencen las clases. Los maestros y el personal están capacitados para identificar y responder a los signos de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor, dijo un portavoz del distrito.
“Bajo ninguna circunstancia debería haber un niño o un padre pensando que no se está prestando atención a su salud”, dijo Tokes. “Había situaciones que estaban fuera del control del distrito”.
Reemplazar todos los aparatos de aire acondicionado en las escuelas del distrito costaría al menos 9 mil millones de dólares, según Amanda Wherritt, jefa de personal adjunta del Distrito Uni- ficado de Los Ángeles.
“En realidad, se trata de recursos financieros”, dijo Tokes. “No recibimos suficiente dinero del estado ni para reparar ni reemplazar nuestros sistemas”.
Incluso en las escuelas costeras hace un calor sofocante
Si bien muchas aulas en todo el estado cuentan con aire acondicionado, las que no lo tienen suelen estar en áreas costeras. Muchas de estas escuelas se construyeron en los años 50 o 60, antes de que los efectos del calentamiento del cambio climático empeoraran las olas de calor.
Hace menos de una década, en Long Beach, 51 de las 84 escuelas no tenían aire acondicionado en todas las aulas. Desde entonces, un bono local de 1,500 millones de dólares para instalaciones ha ayudado al distrito escolar a modernizar
muchas de ellas.
Sin embargo, 13 escuelas, que atienden a aproximadamente una cuarta parte de los estudiantes del distrito, aún no contarán con aire acondicionado completo durante al menos otros tres años. Una escuela, Polytechnic High School, que tiene alrededor de 4,000 estudiantes, se someterá a importantes renovaciones, incluida la incorporación de aire acondicionado, que no se completará hasta 2028, dijo Alan Reising, superintendente asistente de instalaciones y operaciones del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Long Beach. Mientras tanto, los funcionarios instalaron acondicionadores de aire portátiles y estructuras de sombra al aire libre en muchas de las escuelas, dijo Reising.
Algunos vecindarios del interior de Long Beach experimentan cinco días de mucho calor al año cuando las temperaturas superan los 97 grados. “Podría decirse que no lo hemos necesitado”, dijo Reising. Pero ahora, dijo, “con las señales obvias del cambio climático, tenemos que lidiar con más días calurosos cada año. No hay ninguna expectativa de que la situación mejore en el futuro, por lo que la necesidad de aire acondicionado ahora se ha vuelto muy obvia”.
En el Distrito Escolar Unificado de San Diego, las 175 escuelas cuentan ahora con aire acondicionado. El distrito gastó 460 millones de dólares entre 2013 y 2019 para instalar sistemas en las 118 escuelas que no los tenían.
Si bien muchos de los sistemas son más nuevos, siguen fallando y los estudiantes dicen que en algunas aulas la temperatura alcanzó los 100 grados en septiembre. Algunos vecindarios de San Diego tienen cuatro días de calor intenso al año que superan los 91 grados.
“Sin duda, hemos tenido algunos problemas con el aire acondicionado en todo el distrito. Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para responder a todas las solicitudes de reparación lo antes posible”, dijo Samer Naji, portavoz del distrito.
En el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Oakland, aproximadamente 2,000 aulas en 77 escuelas no tienen aire acondicionado. A finales de septiembre, las temperaturas exteriores alcanzaron los 88 grados; algunos vecindarios de Oakland tienen siete días al año en los que se superan los 89 grados.
Equipar esas escuelas con aire acondicionado sería una tarea costosa y complicada que costaría al menos 400 millones de dólares, dijo Preston Thomas, director de sistemas y servicios del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Oakland.
En Melrose Learning Academy, en Oakland, los estudiantes dijeron que el calor les dificulta concentrarse. Lyra Modersbach, una estudiante de octavo grado que es miembro de un club ambiental en la escuela, dijo que ha notado que las temperaturas aumentan año tras año. Cuando
está en casa, puede usar ropa fresca y descansar para combatir el calor, pero no puede hacer eso en la escuela.
Modersbach dijo que su escuela tiene algunos acondicionadores de aire portátiles, pero si hay demasiados encendidos al mismo tiempo, se apagan.
“El calor es muy molesto”, dijo. “He notado que me cuesta más hacer mi trabajo o me siento frustrada”.
Como miembros del club ambientalista Youth Versus Apocalypse, Modersbach y Juliette Sanchez abogaron por que su escuela dejara de usar una caldera de gas e invirtiera en una bomba de calor de bajo consumo que proporcionaría aire acondicionado. El distrito utilizará fondos de una medida de emisión de bonos de $735 millones de 2020 para instalar bombas de calor en su escuela el próximo año.
Las escuelas del interior tienen poco dinero para invertir
Si bien muchas escuelas del interior cuentan con aire acondicionado en todo su perímetro, algunas no tienen aire acondicionado en sus gimnasios, cafeterías y salas de usos múltiples.
Muchos distritos escolares del interior, donde son comunes los días de 100 grados, tienen muchos menos recursos financieros que los distritos costeros más ricos, dijo Sara Hinkley, gerente del programa de California para el Centro de Ciudades + Escuelas de UC Berkeley.
“La mayor parte del gasto en mejoras de instalaciones se basa en medidas de emisión de bonos locales, que a su vez dependen de la capacidad de recaudar impuestos sobre la propiedad”, dijo. “Por lo tanto, los distritos que tienen niveles más bajos de valores de propiedad por estudiante pueden recaudar menos dinero para mejorar sus instalaciones”.
Los distritos escolares del Valle Central y del Inland Empire están entre los que han invertido menos dinero debido a los menores valores de las propiedades y a una base de votantes más pequeña a la que recurrir, dijo Hinkley.
“No existe un imperativo de justicia ambiental o equidad climática. Eso requeriría una regulación activa para cambiar la forma en que se realizan los desembolsos de bonos en el estado”, dijo Turner de UCLA. “El estado podría avanzar mucho si invirtiera en una mejor asistencia técnica a las comunidades para que soliciten estos fondos y se concentrara en las escuelas prioritarias”.
El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fresno, donde el 90% de los estudiantes reciben almuerzo gratuito o de precio reducido, invirtió recientemente $60 millones en fondos federales para reemplazar o instalar sistemas de aire acondicionado en algunos de sus gimnasios, cafeterías y salas de usos múltiples, dijo Alex Belanger, director ejecutivo de operaciones del distrito.
Pero el distrito necesita alrededor de 500 millones de dólares para mejorar sus sistemas de calefacción y ventilación, dijo Belanger.
Belanger dijo que durante las olas de calor, “todos trabajan arduamente” para mantener frescos a los estudiantes. El personal trabaja los fines de semana y las noches para reparar los sistemas de aire acondicionado y la escuela proporciona enfriadores temporales y aire acondicionado portátil si los sistemas se estropean. Idsvoog dijo que al distrito escolar de Fresno le gustaría invertir en estrategias de eficiencia energética, como construir escuelas bien aisladas, con espacios verdes y orientadas de manera que no absorban el calor, pero simplemente no hay dinero para hacerlo.
“La realidad es que no va a mejorar y los recursos siempre serán un desafío para cualquier distrito escolar”, dijo Idsvoog. “Cualquier ayuda, subvención o financiación estatal que pueda respaldar esos esfuerzos es más que bienvenida”.

DURING HEALTH LITERACY MONTH
, TIPS
Suzanne Potter California News Service
Octoberis Health Literacy Month - so experts are educating people on an important indicator of health - cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol, leads to a buildup of plaque in your arteries, which can cause a heart attack or stroke, the number one and four leading causes of death in California.
Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones, a cardiologist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and a past president of the American Heart Association, said LDL is a serious matter.
"We shouldn't mess around with this," he said. "People should know their numbers, and if they're inappropriately elevated for their situation, they should work with their doctor to figure out how they're going to lower their
numbers, particularly that LDL or bad cholesterol."
A simple blood test can reveal your LDL level. People are at higher risk for disability or death if they also have diabetes or high blood pressure, if they smoke, or if they have had a prior heart attack or stroke. Medicine and changes to diet and lifestyle can make a big difference.
Lloyd-Jones added that genetics determine what a person's LDL range is likely to be, but there's no single magic number.
"For one person, we might say if you're young and healthy, an LDL cholesterol of 140 is fine for you. But for another person who already has cardiovascular disease or who has diabetes, 140 is way too high, and we need to get that down below 70 or even lower," he explained.
He added that about onethird of people are "hyperabsorbers", which means that dietary fat or cholesterol is more likely to elevate their blood cholesterol level.

Octubre es el Mes de la alfabetización sanitaria, por lo que los expertos están educando a la gente sobre un importante indicador de la salud: el colesterol. La lipoproteína de baja densidad, o colesterol LDL, provoca una acumulación de placa en las arterias, lo que puede provocar un ataque cardíaco o un derrame cerebral, la primera y cuarta causa de muerte en California.
El Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones,
cardiólogo de la Facultad de Medicina Feinberg de la Universidad Northwestern y ex presidente de la Asociación Estadounidense del Corazón, dijo que el LDL es un asunto serio.
"No deberíamos perder el tiempo con esto", dijo. "Las personas deben conocer sus cifras, y si están inapropiadamente elevadas para su situación, deben trabajar con su médico para determinar cómo van a reducir sus cifras, particularmente las de LDL o colesterol malo".
Un simple análisis de sangre puede revelar su nivel de LDL.
Las personas tienen un mayor riesgo de discapacidad o muerte si también tienen diabetes o presión arterial alta, si fuman o si han tenido un ataque cardíaco o un derrame cerebral anteriormente. Los medicamentos y los cambios en la dieta y el estilo de vida pueden marcar una gran diferencia.
Lloyd-Jones añadió que la genética determina cuál es el rango probable de LDL de una persona, pero no existe un número mágico único.
"Para una persona, podríamos decir que si es joven y saludable, un colesterol LDL de 140 está bien para usted. Pero para otra persona que ya tiene una enfermedad cardiovascular o diabetes, 140 es demasiado alto, y necesitamos bajarlo por debajo de 70 o incluso menos", explicó.
Añadió que alrededor de un tercio de las personas son "hiperabsorbentes", lo que significa que es más probable que la grasa o el colesterol de la dieta eleven su nivel de colesterol en la sangre.

During National Hispanic American Heritage Month, financial experts are speaking out to help Latino families build wealth.
Federal data show that more than a quarter of Latino consumers in the U.S. have no recent credit history, making them "credit invisible" and unlikely to qualify for a loan.
Jorge Lopez Colunga, business development officer in commercial lending for SelfHelp Federal Credit Union in San Francisco, said some Latinos are unaccustomed to using credit.
"In Mexico, Latin America, it's either you pay cash or you just don't buy it because you cannot afford it," Lopez Colunga explained. "Here you have to learn how to use credit and leverage it, because it's crucial in order for them to afford something bigger in the future."
Lopez Colunga pointed out many Latinos are self-employed and may operate on a cash basis. He advised people to keep meticulous records and hire an accountant because accurate business income and tax records will help them qualify for business,
home and car loans down the line.
Maria Ramos Cuaya, racial wealth gap coordinator at Self-Help Federal Credit Union, encouraged people to seek financial counseling.
"We always try to connect our members with the proper resources for them to understand how to create a spending plan, how to manage their finances, how to access credit without having to get into so much debt," Ramos Cuaya outlined.
Ramos Cuaya noted many banks and credit unions offer "credit builder" loans to help people establish or build new credit using their own money.

Los datos federales muestran que más de una cuarta parte de los consumidores latinos en Estados Unidos no tienen historial crediticio reciente, lo que los hace "crédito invisible" y es poco probable que califiquen para un préstamo.
Jorge López Colunga, director de desarrollo de negocios en préstamos comerciales de Self-Help Federal Credit Union en San Francisco, dijo que algunos latinos no están acostumbrados a utilizar el crédito.
"En México, América Latina, o pagas en efectivo o simplemente no lo compras porque no puedes pagarlo", explicó López Colunga. "Aquí hay que aprender a utilizar el crédito y aprovecharlo, porque es crucial para que puedan permitirse algo más grande en el futuro".
López Colunga señaló que muchos latinos trabajan por cuenta propia y pueden trabajar en efectivo. Aconsejó a las personas que mantengan registros meticulosos y contraten a un contador porque los registros precisos de ingresos e impuestos comerciales los ayudarán a calificar para préstamos comerciales, hipotecarios y para automóviles en el futuro.
María Ramos Cuaya, coordinadora de brecha de riqueza racial en Self-Help Federal Credit Union, alentó a las personas a buscar asesoramiento financiero.
"Siempre tratamos de conectar a nuestros afiliados con los recursos adecuados para que entiendan cómo crear un plan de gastos, cómo administrar sus finanzas, cómo acceder al crédito sin tener que endeudarse tanto", destacó Ramos Cuaya.
Ramos Cuaya señaló que muchos bancos y cooperativas de crédito ofrecen préstamos de "creación de crédito" para ayudar a las personas a establecer o generar crédito nuevo utilizando su propio dinero.

NUEVA CAMPAÑA DIGITAL LEVANTA LAS
VOCES LATINAS Y SUS PREOCUPACIONES ANTE LAS POLÍTICAS ENERGÉTICAS DE CALIFORNIA
“Por un Progreso Alcanzable” insta a los funcionarios electos a garantizar que las políticas sean equitativas para todos
Levanta Tu Voz
SACRAMENTO,
que los votantes se sienten
California – Una nueva campaña publicitaria digital de Levanta Tu Voz, una iniciativa de la Asociación Petrolera de los Estados del Oeste (WSPA, por sus siglas en inglés), llama la atención sobre las preocupaciones que muchos latinos tienen con los ambiciosos mandatos energéticos de California que están impulsando la transición del estado hacia la electrificación.
“Por un Progreso Alcanzable” (“Sustainability Matters”) da voz a propietarios de empresas pequeñas, trabajadores agrícolas y manufactureros, jornaleros y latinos en todo el estado que serán los más afectados por las políticas energéticas que pretenden abordar el cambio climático. Este video refleja un sentimiento común de las comunidades latinas de que la prisa por la electrificación está sucediendo demasiado pronto, demasiado rápido y es demasiado costosa para ellos.
“Durante los últimos meses, viajamos por todo el estado para escuchar a nuestras comunidades latinas. Nos dijeron que las políticas energéticas que ayudan a abordar el cambio climático son importantes para ellos. También dijeron claramente que las políticas energéticas no deberían suponer una carga financiera injusta para ellos. La sostenibilidad ambiental es importante, pero también lo es la sostenibilidad económica”, dijo Argelia León, directora de Alianzas Estratégicas y Política del Suroeste de la WSPA. El Consejo de Recursos del Aire de California (CARB, por sus siglas en inglés) confirma las preocupaciones de que los mandatos de energía limpia de California afectarán injustamente a las comunidades de clase trabajadora y reconoce que los planes de energía y medio ambiente del estado tendrán un impacto financiero desigual en los californianos. Los hogares de menores ingresos, en particular los que ganan menos de $100,000 por año, serán los más afectados y verán una disminución en sus ingresos personales.
“Por un Progreso Alcanzable” tiene voces y personas re-
ales”, agregó León. “Los latinos están enviando un mensaje claro a nuestros funcionarios electos de que su voz importa y que las políticas energéticas no deben aplicarse a expensas de las familias trabajadoras”.
Levanta Tu Voz fue creado para informar y empoderar a los latinos para que sean parte de la conversación sobre las políticas energéticas de California. Si bien los latinos representan el 40% de la población del estado, una encuesta reciente indica que muchos de ellos (y el 84% de los californianos en general) se sienten ignorados por los legisladores cuando se trata de sus preocupaciones sobre políticas energéticas.
“Pocos temas son tan importantes para la comunidad empresarial latina de California como las políticas energéticas del estado”, dijo Verónica Corona, presidenta de la Cámara de Comercio Hispana de California. Como portavoz de 800,000 empresas de todo el estado, la CHCC, por sus siglas en inglés, se enorgullece de apoyar Levanta Tu Voz para instar a nuestros funcionarios electos a considerar el impacto que tendrán las políticas energéticas en las comunidades latinas trabajadoras. Contribuyamos juntos para asegurarnos de proteger el medio ambiente sin afectar nuestros bolsillos”.
Luis Ramírez, vicepresidente de la Liga de Agricultores Nisei, hace eco de estas preocupaciones. “Los mandatos de vehículos eléctricos son uno de los mayores desafíos que enfrentan los trabajadores agrícolas de California”, dijo Ramírez. “Son personas trabajadoras. Su objetivo principal es ahorrar y comprar una casa o enviar a sus hijos a la universidad. Su objetivo no es comprar un vehículo eléctrico. Invitamos a nuestros legisladores a que vengan al Valle Central, conversen con nosotros y vean cómo sus políticas afectan a los trabajadores que ponen comida en nuestras mesas”.

Quiénes Somos
Levanta Tu Voz provee una plataforma para que los latinos compartan sus opiniones y preocupaciones sobre políticas energéticas con sus legisladores.
Levanta Tu Voz provee claridad y educa sobre las políticas y mandatos energéticos que impactan directamente la forma de vida de todos los latinos.
Porqué Importa
Lo Que Creemos
la calidad del aire y combatir el cambio climático son importantes, pero solo funcionarán si las soluciones son asequibles para todos los californianos. Levanta Tu Voz cree que todas las voces, independientemente de su origen, merecen ser escuchadas en los debates sobre políticas energéticas.
Los planes de California en materia de energía y clima tendrán un impacto financiero desigual para los californianos. Los hogares de menores ingresos, muchos de los cuales son latinos, serán los más afectados y verán una disminución en sus ingresos personales.1
Los latinos están sobrerrepresentados en las industrias que tienen más probabilidades de verse afectadas por los mandatos energéticos que impulsan la apresurada transición de California hacia la electrificación. Los latinos representan el 90% de los trabajadores agrícolas, el 50% de los trabajadores que conducen camiones de transportación por carretera y el 50% de los trabajadores en la industria de la construcción.2

Tenant advocates say giving renters 10 days to respond to eviction notices, up from 5, will help those who live in rural areas and have trouble finding legal help. Some landlords argue it will increase their costs.
Tenants
in California will have twice as much time to respond to eviction notices and potentially avoid losing their homes under a bill signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September.
The new law comes amid a statewide housing crisis, and after a surge in evictions followed the expiration of pandemic-era tenant protections. Tenant advocates say Assembly Bill 2347, which doubles the time to respond from 5 to 10 business days, will help renters who live in areas where legal help is scarce or face other life circumstances that make it hard to meet the current deadline.
Under California law, landlords who sue to evict tenants must serve them with a formal notice, called an unlawful detainer. If a tenant doesn’t respond in writing within five business days, they can lose the case by default. The complex and technical answer form asks tenants to outline any disagreement about the facts or choose from more than a dozen possible legal defenses, which often requires them to seek help from someone who understands housing law.
“If you think about folks who are living in legal aid deserts, it may take them the entire five days just to get in the door and get that help,” said Lorraine López, a senior attorney with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, which sponsored the bill. “Or they’re going 40 or 50 miles to their nearest courthouse to try to get there before 5 p.m. to file that paperwork.”
Language barriers, lack of transportation and work schedules can also slow tenants’ ability to respond, López said. About 40% of California tenants lose their cases by default, researchers have estimated.
The state’s major landlord lobby, the California Apartment Association, didn’t formally oppose the new law, which takes effect Jan. 1. But some local landlord groups have objected that any delay in evictions allows more unpaid rent to pile up, a cost that property owners will pass on to the new tenant.
“Every time there is an elongation of the process it creates more loss to owners,” said Daniel Bornstein, a San Francisco real estate attorney who represents landlords. He said that while the five-day window might seem short, it’s part of a larger eviction process that can take months and often begins only after tenants are months behind on their rent.
NUEVA LEY DE CALIFORNIA OTORGA A INQUILINOS MÁS TIEMPO PARA RESPONDER A AVISOS DE DESALOJO
Los defensores de los inquilinos afirman que dar a los inquilinos 10 días para responder a las notificaciones de desalojo, en lugar de 5, ayudará a quienes viven en zonas rurales y tienen problemas para encontrar ayuda legal. Algunos propietarios sostienen que aumentará sus costos.
That process, however, still unfolds much more quickly than a typical lawsuit. For example, defendants in other civil suits have 30 days to file a response. Tenants facing eviction are much less likely than their landlords to get help from an attorney – fewer than 5% nationwide have legal representation compared to more than 80% of landlords, the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel estimates.
While the new law, carried by Democratic Assemblymember Ash Kalra of San Jose, gives tenants more time to respond to an eviction notice, it also shortens the timeframe for their lawyers to file certain motions alleging errors in a landlord’s complaint.
Nancy Wiles, who narrowly avoided an eviction judgment over an apartment she left in the Contra Costa County city of Oakley, said the new law could help tenants like her.
Wiles was already moving out of an apartment that she said was infested with mold when her landlord served her with an eviction notice. By the time she realized she had to respond, the five-day timeline had elapsed and a court had ruled that Wiles had to pay her landlord $7,000.
“It was very stressful,” said Wiles, a retired hairstylist on a fixed income. She later sought help from a pro bono attorney who got the case withdrawn.
“Every time there is an elongation of the process it creates more loss to owners.”
Daniel Bornstein, San Francisco real estate attorney
Tenant activists have also attempted to create more breathing room during an earlier step of the eviction process, when landlords notify renters of a problem before they file a case. California law gives tenants three days to correct the issue – for example, by paying back rent or fixing damage to the property – before an eviction can be filed.
San Francisco passed an ordinance in 2022 giving tenants an extra 10 days to correct problems. But a state appeals court judge last week overturned the local measure, ruling that cities have to defer to the state on eviction procedures.
And some California cities, including Los Angeles, are considering following in San Francisco’s footsteps and guaranteeing a right to legal counsel for tenants facing eviction.
Losinquilinos de California tendrán el doble de tiempo para responder a los avisos de desalojo y potencialmente evitarán perder sus hogares según un proyecto de ley convertido en ley por el gobernador Gavin Newsom el 24 de septiembre.
La nueva ley llega en medio de una crisis de vivienda en todo el estado y después de un aumento en los desalojos tras la expiración de las protecciones para inquilinos de la era de la pandemia. Los defensores de los inquilinos dicen que el Proyecto de Ley 2347, que duplica el tiempo de respuesta de 5 a 10 días hábiles, ayudará a los inquilinos que viven en áreas donde la ayuda legal es escasa o enfrentan otras circunstancias de vida que dificultan cumplir con el plazo actual.
Según la ley de California, los propietarios que presentan una demanda para desalojar a los inquilinos deben notificarles un aviso formal, llamado desalojo ilícito. Si un inquilino no responde por escrito dentro de los cinco días hábiles, puede perder el caso por defecto. El formulario de respuesta, complejo y técnico, pide a los inquilinos que expongan cualquier desacuerdo sobre los hechos o que elijan entre más de una docena de posibles defensas legales, lo que a menudo les exige buscar la ayuda de alguien que entienda la ley de vivienda.
Cada vez que llega otra sequía, surge una serie de sugerencias. Echamos un vistazo a las estrategias que podrían funcionar, junto con las más extravagantes, y los obstáculos que enfrentan.
“Si pensamos en las personas que viven en desiertos de asistencia jurídica, es posible que les lleve cinco días enteros tan solo entrar por la puerta y obtener esa ayuda”, dijo Lorraine López, abogada principal del Centro Occidental sobre Derecho y Pobreza, que patrocinó el proyecto de ley. “O tienen que recorrer 64 o 80 kilómetros hasta el juzgado más cercano para intentar llegar antes de las 5 de la tarde y presentar esa documentación”.
Las barreras lingüísticas, la falta de transporte y los horarios de trabajo también pueden ralentizar la capacidad de respuesta de los inquilinos, dijo López. Los investigadores han estimado que alrededor del 40% de los inquilinos de California pierden sus casos por incumplimiento.
El principal grupo de presión de propietarios del estado, la Asociación de Apartamentos de California, no se opuso formalmente a la nueva ley,
que entrará en vigor el 1 de enero. Pero algunos grupos de propietarios locales han objetado que cualquier demora en los desalojos permite que se acumulen más alquileres impagos, un costo que los propietarios trasladarán al nuevo inquilino.
“Cada vez que se alarga el proceso, se generan más pérdidas para los propietarios”, dijo Daniel Bornstein, un abogado de bienes raíces de San Francisco que representa a los propietarios. Dijo que si bien el plazo de cinco días puede parecer breve, es parte de un proceso de desalojo más amplio que puede llevar meses y, a menudo, comienza sólo después de que los inquilinos se atrasan meses en el pago del alquiler.
Sin embargo, ese proceso se desarrolla mucho más rápido que una demanda típica. Por ejemplo, los demandados en otras demandas civiles tienen 30 días para presentar una respuesta. Los inquilinos que enfrentan un desalojo tienen muchas menos probabilidades que sus propietarios de obtener ayuda de un abogado: menos del 5% en todo el país tiene representación legal en comparación con más del 80% de los propietarios, según las estimaciones de la Coalición Nacional por el Derecho Civil a un Abogado .
Si bien la nueva ley, presentada por el asambleísta demócrata Ash Kalra de San José, otorga a los inquilinos más tiempo para responder a un aviso de desalojo, también acorta el plazo para que sus abogados presenten ciertas mociones señalando errores en la queja de un propietario. Nancy Wiles, quien evitó por poco una sentencia de desalojo por un apartamento que abandonó en la ciudad de Oakley, en el condado de Contra Costa, dijo que la nueva ley podría ayudar a inquilinos como ella.
Wiles ya se estaba mudando de un apartamento que, según ella, estaba infestado de moho cuando su casero le entregó una notificación de desalojo. Cuando se dio cuenta de que tenía que responder, el plazo de cinco días ya había transcurrido y un tribunal había dictaminado que Wiles tenía que pagarle a su casero 7,000 dólares.
“Fue muy estresante”, dijo Wiles, una peluquera jubilada que tiene un ingreso fijo. Más tarde buscó la ayuda de un abogado pro bono que logró que se desestimara el caso.
“Cada vez que hay una prolongación del proceso se generan más pérdidas para los propietarios”. Daniel Bornstein, abogado de bienes raíces de San Francisco
Los activistas a favor de los inquilinos también han intentado crear más margen de maniobra durante una etapa anterior del proceso de desalojo, cuando los propietarios notifican a los inquilinos sobre un problema antes de presentar una demanda. La ley de California otorga a los inquilinos tres días para corregir el problema (por ejemplo, pagando el alquiler atrasado o reparando los daños a la propiedad) antes de que se pueda presentar una demanda de desalojo.
En 2022, San Francisco aprobó una ordenanza que otorgaba a los inquilinos 10 días adicionales para corregir los problemas. Sin embargo, la semana pasada, un juez de la corte de apelaciones estatal revocó la medida local y dictaminó que las ciudades deben dejar en manos del estado los procedimientos de desalojo.
Y algunas ciudades de California, incluida Los Ángeles, están considerando seguir los pasos de San Francisco y garantizar un derecho a asistencia letrada para los inquilinos que enfrentan un desalojo.

WHY A NEW CALIFORNIA LAW WILL REQUIRE TORTILLA MAKERS TO ADD AN EXTRA INGREDIENT
Folic acid is so important to infant health that it’s required to be added to cereal and bread. A new California law ensures it’ll be in tortillas.
Ana B. Ibarra CalMatters
Mosttortillas and corn masa products sold in California will soon have to include an additional ingredient — one considered key during pregnancy. The goal? Increase folic acid intake among Latinas of reproductive age.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on September 28 that directs manufacturers of corn masa to add 0.7 milligrams of folic acid to every pound of flour or 0.4 milligrams to every pound of wet masa. These products will have to declare the addition in their nutrition labels. The law goes into effect in 2026.
Folic acid promotes healthy cell growth and has long been used to prevent serious birth defects. Medical and public health experts advise daily consumption during pregnancy, but also in the months before becoming pregnant. Research has shown that when taken before and in the early weeks of pregnancy, folic acid can help prevent birth defects by as much as 70%.
Women may not start taking prenatal vitamins until weeks or months into their pregnancy. Adding folic acid to food ensures they consume it in the first few weeks of pregnancy, which are key in the development of a baby’s brain and spinal cord.
The federal government already requires certain food that is considered staples in an American diet to be fortified with folic acid. These include enriched breads, cereals and pasta. The federal government allows folic acid to be added to corn masa, but doesn’t require it.
The new law “addresses a health equity issue, and California is once again leading the nation in protecting mothers and infants from preterm birth defects,” said Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula, the Fresno Democrat and physician, who authored the law.
“I’m grateful that this legislation will provide a culturally appropriate way to address disparities to help prevent birth defects across our state. We expect to see the rest of our nation pay attention and follow suit,” he said.
Arambula pointed to state public health data that shows Latinas are less likely to take folic acid in the early weeks of pregnancy or before becoming pregnant when compared to other racial or ethnic groups. This puts them at higher risk of having children born with neural tube defects, such as spina
bifida and anencephaly.
Between 2017 and 2019, the latest years for which state data is available, about 28% of Latinas reported taking folic acid the month before becoming pregnant, according to the California Department of Public Health. That compares to 46% of white women. Women on Medi-Cal, the state’s public health insurance program for low-income people, are also less likely to take folic acid before pregnancy compared to women on
private insurance.
Arambula conceded to some changes as the bill moved through the Legislature. The law will not apply to small businesses that make their own masa nor will apply to snack foods.

NEWSOM FIRMA UNA NUEVA LEY DE CALIFORNIA QUE REQUERIRÁ QUE LOS FABRICANTES DE TORTILLAS AGREGUEN UN INGREDIENTE EXTRA
El ácido fólico es tan importante para la salud infantil que es obligatorio añadirlo a los cereales y al pan. Una nueva ley de California garantiza que estará presente en las tortillas.
Lamayoría de las tortillas y productos de masa de maíz que se venden en California pronto tendrán que incluir un ingrediente adicional, que se considera clave durante el embarazo. ¿El objetivo? Aumentar la ingesta de ácido fólico entre las latinas en edad reproductiva.
El gobernador Gavin Newsom firmó el 28 de septiembre una ley que obliga a los fabricantes de masa de maíz a añadir 0,7 miligramos de ácido fólico por cada libra de harina o 0,4 miligramos por cada libra de masa húmeda. Estos productos tendrán que declarar la adición en sus etiquetas nutricionales. La ley entrará en vigor en 2026.
El ácido fólico promueve el crecimiento celular saludable y se ha utilizado durante mucho tiempo para prevenir defectos congénitos graves. Los expertos médicos y de salud pública recomiendan el consumo diario durante el embarazo, pero también en los meses previos al embarazo. Las investigaciones han demostrado que, cuando se toma antes y en las primeras semanas del embarazo, el ácido fólico puede ayudar a prevenir defectos congénitos hasta en un 70%.
Las mujeres pueden comenzar a tomar vitaminas prenatales hasta semanas o meses después del embarazo. Agregar ácido fólico a los alimentos garantiza que lo con-
suman durante las primeras semanas de embarazo, que son claves para el desarrollo del cerebro y la médula espinal del bebé.
El gobierno federal ya exige que ciertos alimentos considerados básicos en la dieta estadounidense estén fortificados con ácido fólico, como panes, cereales y pastas enriquecidos. El gobierno federal permite que se agregue ácido fólico a la masa de maíz, pero no lo exige.
El asambleísta Joaquín Arámbula, demócrata de Fresno y médico, fue el autor de la ley.
Arambula señaló datos estatales de salud pública que muestran que las latinas tienen menos probabilidades de tomar ácido fólico en las primeras semanas de embarazo o antes de quedar embarazadas en comparación con otros grupos raciales o étnicos. Esto las coloca en mayor riesgo de tener hijos que nacen con defectos del tubo neural, como espina bífida y anencefalia .
Entre 2017 y 2019, los últimos años para los que hay datos estatales disponibles, alrededor del 28% de las latinas informó haber tomado ácido fólico el mes antes de quedar embarazada, según el Departamento de Salud Pública de California. Eso se compara con el 46% de las mujeres blancas. Las mujeres que están en Women on Medi-Cal, el programa de seguro médico público para personas de bajos ingresos, también tienen menos probabilidades de tomar ácido fólico antes del embarazo en comparación con las mujeres con seguro privado.
Arámbula aceptó algunos cambios a medida que el proyecto de ley avanzaba en la Legislatura. La ley no se aplicará a las pequeñas empresas que elaboran su propia masa ni a los bocadillos.

Aunqueel uso político de la inmigración como chivo expiatorio del odio no es nada nuevo, el voto latino (el grupo demográfico de votantes de mayor crecimiento en Estados Unidos, con actualmente 36,2 millones de latinos que representan el 15% de todos los votantes elegibles) puede decidir las elecciones en estados grandes como California. Texas y Florida, y estados indecisos como Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin y Carolina del Norte.
En un panel del jueves 26 de septiembre realizado por CALÓ News y Latino Media Collaborative, los líderes de los medios étnicos explicaron las tácticas de desinformación de tendencia utilizadas para socavar la confianza electoral entre los latinos y discutieron formas de combatir esta desinformación.
“Socavando la voz de un voto decisivo”
“Millones de inmigrantes viven tranquilamente en armonía con los residentes nativos. Somos vecinos, compañeros de trabajo y amigos, y nos cuidamos unos a otros a través de líneas raciales, étnicas y bipartidistas; sin embargo, rara vez vemos esas historias en la portada”, dijo Jessica González, codirectora ejecutiva de Free Press.
“En cambio, vemos historias que explotan y demonizan a los inmigrantes. Vemos la mentira de que los inmigrantes no ciudadanos están votando en masa, mentiras sobre los inmigrantes haitianos, afirmaciones falsas como que las elecciones estadounidenses se extenderán este año”, continuó. “La intención es asustar a los votantes de color de las urnas, complacer el sentimiento antiinmigrante provocando miedo... y legitimar la toma de poder autoritaria sembrando desconfianza en nuestro proceso electoral”.
Una encuesta de Free Press de 2024 realizada a 3.000 estadounidenses encontró que el 79% estaba “preocupado porque la información que ven en línea es falsa, falsa o un intento deliberado de confundir a la gente”,
LA DESINFORMACIÓN MIGRATORIA APUNTA AL DECISIVO VOTO LATINO EN EE.UU.
Si no se contrarresta, la desinformación dirigida a inmigrantes y latinos será decisiva para este año electoral.
mientras que el 76% estaba preocupado por la información errónea sobre las elecciones presidenciales de 2024.
“Me volví políticamente activa organizando a 10,000 estudiantes para marchar fuera de las escuelas del LAUSD durante los años 90 en la era de la Proposición 187 de California”, dijo Jennie Carreón, directora de la firma de asuntos públicos Carreón Group. “Es difícil creer que la propuesta pasó. Negó a los inmigrantes indocumentados el acceso a la educación pública y a los servicios sociales, y también exigió a la policía que informara y verificara el estatus migratorio de todos los individuos”.
“Afortunadamente, los tribunales anularon la
Proposición 187, pero 30 años después, aquí estamos escuchando las mismas historias antimigratorias, pero esta vez a nivel nacional”, añadió. “La desinformación de los votantes latinos está socavando la voz de un voto decisivo en 2024... y necesitamos mostrar su impacto de una manera digerible, para que una generación de nuevos votantes no se sienta tan aprensiva”.
Desinformación en tendencia
“Estos mensajes con el propósito de crear odio y miedo ya no se refieren sólo a los inmigrantes indocumentados. Ahora estamos viendo ataques a inmigrantes legales, como DACA y otros programas de vía legal, y recientemente a la comunidad haitiana de Springfield, Ohio, la mayoría de los cuales tenía Estatus de Pro-
tección Temporal”, dijo Vanessa Cárdenas, directora ejecutiva de America's Voice.
Al rastrear la cobertura mediática de la reforma migratoria, America's Voice encontró dos ideas comunes detrás de estos ataques, explicó, siendo la primera una “teoría del reemplazo... que los inmigrantes están aquí para reemplazar a los estadounidenses 'reales' y que los inmigrantes no elegibles van a votar en nuestras elecciones. sembrando dudas sobre si podemos confiar en el resultado”.
Investigaciones estatales realizadas por funcionarios republicanos y demócratas, organizaciones de noticias, fuerzas del orden y universidades han descubierto que el voto de los no ciudadanos es extraordinariamente raro.
Por ejemplo, una encuesta del Centro Brennan de 2016 entre 44 administradores electorales que supervisaban 23,5 millones de votos en 42 estados detectó 30 incidentes de votación sospechosa de no ciudadanos, o 0,0001% de todos los votos.
Una auditoría dirigida por el estado de 1,1 millones de boletas en Nevada ese mismo año identificó a tres no ciudadanos que habían votado, lo que representaba el 0,0003% de todos los votos.
Una investigación estatal de 2020 en Ohio remitió 104 casos de presunto registro de votantes no ciudadanos y 13 casos de presunto voto de no ciudadanos para su procesamiento; Debido a que este último equivaldría al 0,00016% de todos los votos, el propio secretario de estado de Ohio dijo que “el fraude electoral es sumamente raro”.
La segunda idea detrás de la desinformación que está de moda “enfrenta a los latinos que han estado en Estados Unidos durante generaciones con nuevos inmigrantes… a través de una noción de escasez, crimen y tensiones raciales, particularmente en comunidades de ciudades azules, como Nueva York, a donde los inmigrantes fueron enviados desde Texas.”, explicó Cárdenas. "Estas narrativas están preparando el terreno para la idea de que está bien deportar a personas

en masa porque estas personas no deseables, no son estadounidenses".
Los economistas estiman que una deportación masiva de inmigrantes indocumentados, del tipo propuesto por la campaña presidencial de Donald Trump para 2024, implicaría pérdidas económicas entre 711 mil millones de dólares y 1,7 billones de dólares, a niveles de 2023.
“La razón por la que tantos inmigrantes indocumentados están viniendo a Estados Unidos es porque Estados Unidos ha desestabilizado su economía y sus gobiernos”, añadió Anshantia Oso, directora principal del proyecto de historia negra Media 2070. “Estados Unidos. La política exterior es un factor de atracción para que los inmigrantes vengan a Estados Unidos, y nuestros candidatos políticos están manipulando ideas de escasez para mantener a la población asustada y dividida”.
Luchando contra la desinformación
"Al conversar con personas que pueden estar repitiendo esta información errónea, es importante comprender cuáles son realmente sus preocupaciones", continuó Oso. “A menudo, la retórica política juega con preocupaciones válidas en torno a la vivienda, el empleo o las finanzas... y no se trata de ser antiinmigrantes, sino de tener un gobierno que realmente vaya a trabajar para nosotros. Necesitamos abordar esas preocupaciones y señalar soluciones reales”.
Una encuesta demográficamente representativa de la Harvard Kennedy School encontró que el 49% de los estadounidenses estaban expuestos a algún tipo de intervención de desinformación, como la verificación de datos en las redes sociales.
Sin embargo, estas intervenciones desencadenaron respuestas significativamente polarizadas entre los demócratas, que apoyaron la intervención en general, y los republicanos, que se opusieron a la evaluación del contenido por considerarla parcial.
“Un enfoque para contrarrestar la desinformación es no quedarse estancado en abordar afirmaciones específicas, sino más bien exponer sus motivos de división”, dijo Roberta Braga, fundadora y directora ejecutiva del Instituto de Democracia Digital de las Américas (DDIA).
“No tenemos que corregir el registro de cada cosa que vemos. En cambio, deberíamos centrarnos en cam-
biar la conversación contando historias reales sobre el impacto de las políticas de deportación”, continuó, “y contando historias sobre cómo sería un sistema migratorio funcional contando historias de éxito de inmigrantes”.
“El problema es que luchar contra la desinformación no funciona de la misma manera para todos”, afirmó Braga. “Alguien que cree una de cada 15 mentiras puede necesitar una verificación de hechos, pero alguien que cree 14 de cada 15 mentiras, no responderá a eso. Más allá de los factores orientados al contenido, debemos considerar las preocupaciones reales que tiene la gente en el día a día”.
Una encuesta de la DDIA de junio de 2024 encontró que la mayoría de los latinos que son objeto de información errónea no lo creen rotundamente. Entre los 3,000 adultos latinos encuestados, el 62% no estaba seguro de las afirmaciones de desinformación de los medios o las rechazaba.
Aunque los hallazgos de la DDIA, al igual que la encuesta de la Escuela Kennedy de Harvard, observaron una correlación constante entre la afiliación al partido republicano con “niveles más bajos de confianza en que el voto contará”, la baja confianza en el sistema no se correlacionó con la participación electoral de los latinos.
En otras palabras, muchos latinos que tienen menos probabilidades de percibir que su voto importa aún votarían a pesar de esta ambivalencia.
“Hay un gran grupo de votantes latinos que están indecisos o ambivalentes, y creo que ahí es donde deberíamos dedicar la mayor parte de nuestro tiempo a compartir nuestra información e ideas”, dijo Cárdenas. "Estas son personas a las que realmente podríamos poner de nuestro lado".

IMMIGRATION MISINFORMATION TARGETS DECISIVE U.S. LATINO VOTE
If not countered, misinformation targeting immigrants and Latinos will be make-or-break this election year.
Selen Ozturk Ethnic Media Services
Although the political use of immigration as a scapegoat for hate is nothing new, the Latino vote — the largest-growing U.S. voter demographic, with currently 36.2 million Latinos representing 15% of all eligible voters — able to decide elections in large states like California, Texas and Florida, and swing states like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin and North Carolina.
At a Thursday, September 26 panel held by CALÓ News and the Latino Media Collaborative, ethnic media leaders explained the trending misinformation tactics used to undermine electoral trust among Latinos, and discussed ways to fight this misinformation.
‘Undermining the voice of a decisive vote’
“Millions of immigrants are living quietly in harmony with native-born residents. We’re neighbors, co-workers and friends, and we’re caring for each other across racial, ethnic and bipartisan lines — yet we rarely see those stories on the front page,” said Jessica González, co-CEO of Free Press.
“Instead, we see stories that exploit and demonize immigrants. We see the lie that non-citizen immigrants are voting in droves, fabrications about Haitian immigrants, false claims such as that the U.S. election will be extended this year,” she continued. “The intent is to scare voters of color from the polls, to pander to anti-immigrant sentiment by stirring up fear … and to legitimize authoritarian powergrabs by sowing distrust in our electoral process.”
A 2024 Free Press poll of 3,000 Americans found that 79% were “concerned that the information they see online is fake, false or a deliberate attempt to confuse people,” while 76% were concerned about 2024 presidential election misinformation.
“I became politically active organizing 10,000 students to march out of LAUSD schools during the ’90s in California’s Prop 187 era,” said Jennie Carreón, principal of public affairs firm Carreón Group. “It’s hard to believe that it passed. It denied undocumented immigrants access to public education and social services, and it also required police to report and verify the immigration status of all individuals.”
Ánimo.

No es fácil aceptar que los problemas de memoria puedan ser un signo de la enfermedad de Alzheimer y no solo una parte normal del envejecimiento.

Porque yo tengo la valentía para enfrentar el Alzheimer.
“Thankfully, Prop 187 was struck down by the courts, but 30 years later, here we are hearing the same anti-immigration stories, but this time it’s at a national level,” she added. “Latino voter misinformation is undermining the voice of a decisive vote in 2024 … and we need to show its impact in a digestible way, so that a generation of new voters doesn’t feel so apprehensive.”
Trending misinformation
“These messages with the purpose of creating hate and fear are no longer just about undocumented immigrants. We’re now seeing attacks on legal immigrants — such as DACA and other legal pathway programs, and recently the Springfield, Ohio Haitian community, most of whom had Temporary Protected Status,” said Vanessa Cárdenas, executive director of America’s Voice.
In tracking media coverage of immigration reform, America’s Voice found two common ideas behind these attacks, she explained, the first being a “replacement theory … that immigrants are here to replace ‘real’ Americans and ineligible immigrants are going to vote in our election, seeding doubt as to whether we can trust the outcome.”
State-led investigations by Republican and Democratic officials, news organizations, law enforcement and universities have found that noncitizen voting is extraordinarily rare.
For instance, a 2016 Brennan Center survey of 44 election administrators overseeing 23.5 million votes across 42 states saw 30 incidents of suspected noncitizen voting — or .0001% of all votes.
A state-led audit of 1.1 million ballots in Nevada that same year identified three noncitizens who had voted, amounting to .0003% of all votes.
A 2020 state investigation in Ohio referred 104 cases of alleged noncitizen voter registration and 13 cases of alleged noncitizen voting for prosecution; because the latter would amount to .00016% of all votes, Ohio’s own secretary of state said“voter fraud is exceedingly rare.”
The second idea behind trending misinformation “pits Latinos who’ve been in the U.S. for generations against new migrants … through a notion of scarcity, crime and racial tensions, particularly in communities in blue cities, like New York, where migrants were sent from Texas,” Cárdenas explained. “These narratives are setting the stage for the idea that it is okay to deport people en masse because these folks are not desirable, not American.”
Economists estimate that a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, of the kind proposed by Donald
Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, would entail economic losses between $711 billion and $1.7 trillion, at 2023 levels.
Given a removal of 11 million people, this would entail a shrinking of the U.S. economy between 2.6% and 6%.
“The reason why so many undocumented immigrants are coming to the U.S. is because the U.S. has destabilized their economy and governments,” added Anshantia Oso, senior director of Black history project Media 2070. “U.S. foreign policy is a pull factor for immigrants to come to the U.S., and our political candidates are manipulating ideas of scarcity to keep the population scared and divided.”
Fighting misinformation
“In having conversation with folks who may be repeating this misinformation, it’s important to understand what their concerns actually are,” Oso continued. “Often, political rhetoric plays on valid concerns around housing, jobs or finances … and it’s not about being anti-immigrant, but having a government that’s actually going to work for us. We need to speak to those concerns and point towards actual solutions.”
A demographically representative Harvard Kennedy School poll found that 49% of Americans were exposed to some form of misinformation intervention, like social media fact-checking.
However, these interventions triggered significantly polarized responses between Democrats, who supported the intervention overall, and Republicans, who opposed content evaluation on the grounds that it was biased.
“One approach to countering disinformation is not getting bogged down in tackling specific claims, but rather exposing their motives of division,” said Roberta Braga, founder and executive director of Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA).
“We don’t have to correct the record on every single thing we see. Instead, we should focus on changing the conversation by telling real stories about the impact of deportation policies,” she continued, “and by telling stories about what a functional migration system would look like by telling immigrant success stories.”
“The issue is that fighting misinformation doesn’t work the same way for everyone,” said Braga. “Someone who believes one in 15 lies may need a fact check, but someone who believes 14 out of 15 lies, that’s not what they’ll respond to. Beyond content-oriented factors, we need to consider the real day-to-day concerns that people have.”
A June 2024 DDIA poll found that most Latinos targeted by misinformation don’t outright believe it. Among the 3,000 Latino adults polled, 62% were either unsure of, or rejected, media misinformation claims.
Although the DDIA findings, like the Harvard Kennedy School poll, saw consistent correlation of Republican party affiliation with “lower levels of trust and confidence that one’s vote will count,” low trust in the system wasn’t correlated with voter turnout for Latinos.
In other words, many Latinos less likely to perceive their vote to matter would still vote despite this ambivalence. “There’s a large group of Latino voters out there that are undecided or ambivalent, and think that’s where we should be spending most of our time sharing our information and ideas,” Cárdenas said. “These are people that we could really move to our side.”

AMERICANS CONFRONT EVENT TICKETING CHALLENGES
Farah Siddiqi Public News Service
Concert and sports fans across the country are expressing growing frustration over rising ticket prices and hidden fees.
In response, Congress is considering the TICKET Act, a bipartisan bill which aims to increase transparency by requiring ticket sellers to display all fees upfront.
Sally Greenberg, executive director of the National Consumers League, highlighted why she feels the issue is so important for consumers.
"People understand the frustration and the anger that you feel when you go buy a ticket, it looks like a reasonable cost and, all of a sudden, the fees add 30%, 40%, 50% of the cost," Greenberg explained.
If the TICKET Act passes, ticket vendors will be required to show the total price, including fees, at the beginning of the purchase process. While supporters such as Greenberg see it as a win for consumers, some in the ticketing industry argued the change could disrupt business models. The rise of online ticket fraud has become another challenge for buyers.
Nick Drewe, CEO of the consumer web-
site WeThrift.com, emphasized the importance of vigilance when purchasing tickets online.
"Our study revealing the states with the highest online shopping fraud reports is a wake-up call for consumers nationwide," Drewe noted. "Navigating the digital marketplace is kind of like exploring a new city; it's exciting but also requiring caution."
As the country awaits the outcome of the TICKET Act, many hope increased transparency will lead to fairer ticket pricing. Drewe urged consumers to remain cautious while shopping online to avoid becoming victims of fraud.
INDIGENOUS GROUPS FIGHT LIMITING REMOTE BALLOT COLLECTION
Mark Moran Public News Service
Montana'sIndigenous population is pushing back against efforts to limit ballot collection on tribal lands.
Many members of the state's seven tribes live several hours from the nearest polling place. The Montana Supreme Court has ruled two laws make it prohibitive for people living on reservations to reach a polling place or mail an absentee ballot before Election Day. The state is now asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review that ruling.
Ronnie Jo Horse, executive director of the group Western Native Voice, said they collect ballots from tribal residents who face transportation and other hurdles that keep them from getting to a physical polling place and added the service was very important during the pandemic.
"We had a novel virus going around," Horse pointed out. "A lot of people were afraid to leave their houses because Native Americans had a really high mortality rate than any other group in America."
The bills ended Election Day voter registration and third-party ballot collection services in Montana but the state's high court ruled them unconstitutional and stopped them from taking effect.
The American Civil Liberties Union said voters on tribal lands have "disproportionately relied on" Election Day voter registration and ballot collection services in Montana to cast ballots. Horse stressed the critical services need to be protected.
"If they did put (up) more barriers or even take away ballot collection, those will actually put up barriers for all of Montana, not only Native Americans, to make that decision and cast their vote," Horse contended.
Election Day registration has been the law in Montana for 15 years and efforts to end it were seen as measures to make voting for Indigenous people more difficult. Early voting in Montana starts Oct. 7.

Hispanic
Heritage Month, which begins on September 15 and ends on October 15, is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the vibrant culture and significant contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans nationwide. If you're eager to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month but aren't sure where to begin, cookbook author, chef and TV personality Pati Jinich has you covered. She offers the following tips to help you explore and immerse yourself in the richness of Latino traditions.
1. Support Hispanic-owned businesses in your community
You can make a meaningful impact this Hispanic Heritage Month by supporting local Latino-owned businesses. Whether it's a cozy café, a vibrant art gallery showcasing the works of Latino artists, or clothing shops brimming with unique, culturally inspired designs, your support plays a vital role. By choosing these authentic, family-owned businesses, you not only enjoy a personal and enriching experience but also contribute to the economic growth and visibility of the Latino community.
2. Expand your knowledge of Hispanic culture and history
The more you know, the better you can understand and appreciate the depth of a culture and its people. This month, embrace your curiosity and expand your knowledge by diving into Latino culture and history. Start with works from Latino authors that provide unique perspectives on their communities. You can further enrich your experience by diving into traditional Latin American art and music, like Mariachis and Talavera Pottery, which have been key pillars of Mexican history and cultural expressions.
3. Participate in Hispanic Heritage Festivals
To bring your learning to life this month, make it a point to attend Latin American heritage festivals and cultural events in your area. These gatherings offer an authentic and immersive experience, allowing you to witness traditional dances, savor regional cuisines and engage with the artisans and performers who keep these traditions alive. From vibrant parades filled with music and dance to booths showcasing handcrafted goods, these festivals provide a unique opportunity to experience the culture firsthand.
4. Cook flavorful Hispanic dishes

FOUR WAYS TO CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
is a wonderful way to explore authentic flavors and support the community, Chef Pati Jinich encourages you to go further by bringing those flavors into your own kitchen. Many Latin American dishes use eggs, and Pati recommends choosing the best-tasting, more nutritious egg in any dish. If you need inspiration, try this Enchiladas de Chile Verde con Huevos Montados recipe from Eggland's Best.
2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus more for frying tortillas
1 tbsp unsalted butter
3/4 white onion (about 2 cups), halved and slivered
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 lb fresh green chiles, such as chilaca, California, Anaheim, New Mexico or Hatch, roasted, sweated, peeled, seeded and cut into 2 and 1/2-inch pieces
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1 and 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
12 corn tortillas
6 oz (about 1 and 1/2 cups) Chihuahua, Monterey Jack, Asadero or Quesadilla Cheese, shredded
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives for garnish
Directions
1) Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another couple minutes until the onion is completely wilted and the garlic has changed color. Stir in the flour, mix well, and cook for another minute, until it smells toasty. Stir in the chile strips, salt, and marjoram and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until moist but not wet. Add the broth, stir, and when the mixture starts bubbling, cook for 5 to 6 minutes more. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender and puree until completely smooth. Return to a saucepan and keep warm.
2) Heat about 1/4 inch oil for frying tortillas in a large skillet set over medium heat. Once hot, quick fry the tortillas for 20-30 seconds per side until lightly browned. The oil should be bubbling all around the tortillas as you fry them. Place on a paper towel covered plate to drain. Alternatively, you can heat the corn tortillas in a preheated comal or skillet set over medium heat.
3) Separately, cook two sunny side up eggs per person to desired doneness.
4) To assemble, one by one, dip a prepared tortilla in the chile verde sauce and place on dinner plate. Top with about 2 tablespoons cheese and 1 tablespoon onion. Follow with the next tortilla. Repeat with the cheese and onion. Repeat with a third tortilla and top with the eggs. Add a tablespoon or two of the sauce, and garnish with a tablespoon of cheese and a tablespoon of onions and chives.
Let these tips inspire you to explore and celebrate the contributions of your Hispanic and Latino neighbors. Buena suerte!
