LA HISTORIA DE MATI , UNA SOBREVIVIENTE DE CÁNCER

La Red Hispana

En2016, durante un examen médico rutinario, Mati recibió una noticia que le cambió la vida. Los exámenes identificaron siete pequeños puntos en su cerebro. Se trataba de un diagnóstico certero de cáncer metastásico nivel cuatro.

“Matilde, tú no durarás ni 6 meses”, le dijo su médico. “Eso me impactó mucho y pensé: ‘Matilde, corre por tu vida’. Me paré. No me despedí y me fui. En ese momento me di cuenta de que estaba en peligro”, recuerda Mati con lágrimas en los ojos.

Mati tuvo una larga conversación con su oncóloga y tomó la decisión de entrar a un estudio clínico para pacientes con cáncer, no sólo para tratar de salvar su vida, sino primordialmente para ayudar al avance de la ciencia médica.

“Allí fue donde empezó la esperanza. Pensé que esto podría ayudar a otras personas más que todo”, rememora.

Meses después su doctora le dio la buena noticia. Su cáncer estaba en remisión. Fueron las palabras que Mati había estado esperando. Su primera decisión fue acudir a una distribuidora de automóviles y se compró un auto deportivo color rojo. Su nuevo auto no sólo simbolizaba su independencia, sino el inicio de un viaje al futuro.

Aunque los latinos representamos casi el 20% de la población en Estados Unidos sólo un 10% participan en estudios clínicos del Instituto Nacional de Cáncer y 4% en los estudios de la Administración Federal de Alimentos y Drogas (FDA).

De acuerdo con un sondeo del Centro Pew, un 58% de la población latina considera importantes los estudios clínicos, el porcentaje más bajo de cualquier grupo étnico. A pesar de que los estudios son voluntarios y supervisados por expertos, muchos latinos guardan preocupaciones sobre posible maltrato en investigaciones médicas.

Este déficit de participación tiene un efecto adverso en el avance del conocimiento científico, toda vez que hace difícil evaluar qué tan seguros y efectivos son los nuevos tratamientos médicos en los miembros de nuestra comunidad, muchos de los cuales sufrimos padecimientos crónicos o altas tasas de incidencia en ciertas enfermedades.

Conocí a Mati como parte de mi trabajo en una campaña de salud pública sobre la importancia de los estudios clínicos. Ella decidió compartir su historia para dar esper-

sion to enter a clinical study for cancer patients, not only to try to save her life, but primarily to help the advancement of medical science.

“That was where hope began. I thought this could help other people more than anything,” she recalls.

anza a otras personas, porque es un ejemplo viviente de alguien que no sólo se benefició personalmente sino ayudó al avance del conocimiento médico.

“He tenido 7 años compartiendo con mi familia y teniendo una vida, disfrutando de mi auto, de mi apartamento, disfrutando de la vida. Yo no pensaba que fuera a vivir 6 meses. El estudio clínico salvó mi vida y podría salvar la de otras personas”, me dice.

Su mensaje a nuestra comunidad es claro y sencillo: “Que sean valientes, que se enrolen en un estudio clínico. Eso les puede alargar la vida o salvar la vida…. Mi historia es una historia de triunfo, una historia de esperanza. Yo les digo: luchen, luchen por su vida”.

López Zamorano La Red Hispana

In2016, during a routine medical examination, Mati received news that changed her life. The tests identified seven small spots on her brain. It was an accurate diagnosis of level four metastatic cancer.

“Matilde, you won't last even 6 months,” her doctor told her. “That shocked me a lot and I thought: 'Matilde, run for your life.' I stopped. I didn't say goodbye and left. At that moment I realized that I was in danger,” Mati recalls with tears in her eyes.

Mati had a long conversation with her oncologist and made the deci-

Months later her doctor gave her the good news. Her cancer was in remission. They were the words Mati had been waiting for. Her first decision was to go to a car dealership where she bought a red sports car. Her new car not only symbolized her independence, but the beginning of a journey to the future.

Although Latinos represent almost 20% of the population in the United States, only 10% participate in clinical studies of the National Cancer Institute and 4% in studies of the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to a Pew Center survey, 58% of the Latino population considers clinical trials important, the lowest percentage of any ethnic group. Although the studies are voluntary and supervised by experts, many Latinos have concerns about possible mistreatment in medical research.

This lack of participation has an adverse effect on the advancement of scientific knowledge, since it makes it difficult to evaluate how safe and effective new medical treatments are for the members of our community, many of whom suffer from chronic conditions or high incidence rates in certain diseases.

I met Mati as part of my work on a public health campaign about the importance of clinical trials. She decided to share her story to give hope to other people, because she is a living example of someone who not only personally benefited but helped advance medical knowledge.

“I have had 7 years sharing with my family and having a life, enjoying my car, my apartment, enjoying life. I didn't think I would live 6 months. The clinical study saved my life and could save other people's,” she tells me.

Her message to our community is clear and simple: “Be brave, enroll in a clinical study. That can prolong their life or save their life…. My story is a story of triumph, a story of hope. I tell them: fight, fight for your life.”

KAISER STRIKE BEGINS AS 68,000 EMPLOYEES STAGE WALKOUT AT CALIFORNIA HOSPITALS

California health care giant Kaiser Permanente could not reach a contract to avert a strike by a union coalition representing some 75,000 employees in five states. The walkout is expected to last three days.

CalMatters

Morethan 75,000 Kaiser Permanente employees walked off the job on October 4, initiating the largest health care worker strike in U.S. history, union officials said.

Kaiser and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions were unable to reach a deal during a marathon bargaining session in San Francisco Tuesday. The coalition represents eight unions in five states and the District of Columbia. More than 90% of its members work in California facilities where the health care giant serves more than 9 million patients.

Those who walked out include nursing assistants, house keepers, X-ray technicians, phlebotomists, pharmacists, optometrists and other support staff. The strike is expected to last through Saturday morning. Doctors and most nurses are not part of the strike.

“Healthcare workers are taking the work action to protest Kaiser executives’ bad faith bargaining, which is getting in the way of finding solutions to solve the Kaiser short-staffing crisis,” according to a statement from Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, the largest of the coalition’s unions.

Workers’ contracts expired over the weekend. Other impacted states include Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Health care workers are required by federal law to give employers 10-days advance notice of a strike. Kaiser executives said facilities are prepared to continue operating during the strike.

Contract talks continue

In a statement, Kaiser said it made agreements with the union coalition on several proposals Tuesday but did not specify on which issues. Both parties remain at the bargaining table, according to the statement.

“We remain committed to reaching a new agreement that continues to provide our employees with market-leading wages, excellent benefits, generous retirement income plans, and valuable professional development opportunities,” the statement said.

The union coalition began bargaining six months ago, advocating for a $25-per-hour minimum wage for all workers and a 24.5% raise over four years for employees in all of Kaiser’s labor markets. The coali tion also said facilities are dangerously understaffed and has accused Kaiser of unfair labor practices for failing to share information needed for bargaining, such as staffing numbers.

Kaiser maintains its employees have the best sala ries and benefits among competitors in each state that it operates in and that the strike is unjustified. It has offered raises of 12.5% to 16% over four years depending on state and a $21 minimum wage, although California workers have been offered a $23 minimum wage.

Some services delayed during Kaiser strike

Although Kaiser hospitals and emergency departments will remain open, non-urgent appointments and procedures may be delayed, Kaiser said in a statement to patients. Kaiser recommends that patients check whether their local facilities are affected by the strike. Some pharmacies might close temporarily or reduce hours during the walkout.

Kaiser, the largest private insurer in the state, operates three dozen hospitals and more than 500 medical offices in California.

Last year, Kaiser’s mental health workers in Northern California striked for 10 weeks over caseloads and long wait times. The strike coincided with a state investigation into whether the health insurer

PLEADOS DEJAN SUS PUESTOS DE TRABAJO EN LOS HOSPITALES DE CALIFORNIA

El gigante de la atención sanitaria de California, Kaiser Permanente, no pudo llegar a un acuerdo para evitar una huelga de una coalición sindical que representa a unos 75,000 empleados en cinco estados. Se espera que la huelga dure tres días.

nente no pudieron llegar a un acuerdo durante una sesión de negociación maratónica en San Francisco el martes. La coalición representa a ocho sindicatos en cinco estados y el Distrito de Columbia. Más del 90% de sus miembros trabajan en instalaciones de California donde el gigante de la atención médica atiende a más de 9 millones de pacientes.

Entre los que se retiraron se encuentran asistentes de enfermería, amas de casa, técnicos de rayos X, flebotomistas, farmacéuticos, optometristas y otro personal de apoyo. Se espera que la huelga dure hasta el sábado por la mañana. Los médicos y la mayoría de las enfermeras no forman parte de la huelga.

“Los trabajadores de la salud están tomando medidas laborales para protestar por las negociaciones de mala fe de los ejecutivos de Kaiser, que se interponen en el camino para encontrar soluciones para resolver la crisis de escasez de personal de Kaiser”, según un comunicado del Sindicato Internacional de Empleados de Servicios-United Healthcare Workers West, el mayor de los sindicatos de la coalición.

Los contratos de los trabajadores expiraron durante el fin de semana. Otros estados afectados incluyen Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Virginia y Washington, DC.

Másde 75,000 empleados de Kaiser Permanente abandonaron sus puestos de trabajo la mañana del 4 de octubre, iniciando la huelga de trabajadores de la salud más grande en la historia de Estados Unidos, dijeron funcionarios sindicales.

Kaiser y la Coalición de Sindicatos de Kaiser Perma-

La ley federal exige que los trabajadores de la salud avisen a los empleadores con 10 días de antelación sobre una huelga. Ejecutivos de Kaiser dijeron que las instalaciones están preparadas para continuar operando durante la huelga.

Continúan las negociaciones contractuales

En un comunicado, Kaiser dijo que llegó a acuerdos con la coalición sindical sobre varias propuestas el martes, pero no especificó sobre qué temas. Ambas partes permanecen en la mesa de negociaciones, según el comunicado.

“Seguimos comprometidos a alcanzar un nuevo acuerdo que continúe brindando a nuestros empleados salarios líderes en el mercado, excelentes beneficios, generosos planes de ingresos de jubilación y valiosas oportunidades de desarrollo profesional”, dice el comunicado.

La coalición sindical comenzó a negociar hace seis meses, abogando por un salario mínimo de $25 por hora para todos los trabajadores y un aumento del 24.5% durante cuatro años para los empleados en todos los mercados laborales de Kaiser. La coalición también dijo que las instalaciones tienen una peligrosa falta de personal y acusó a Kaiser de prácticas laborales injustas por no compartir la información necesaria para la negociación, como la cantidad de personal. Kaiser sostiene que sus empleados tienen los mejores salarios y beneficios entre los competidores en cada estado en el que opera y que la huelga es injustificada. Ha ofrecido aumentos del 12.5% al 16% durante cuatro años dependiendo del estado y un salario mínimo de 21 dólares, aunque a los trabajadores de California se les ha ofrecido un salario mínimo de 23 dólares.

Algunos servicios con retraso durante la huelga Aunque los hospitales y departamentos de emergencia de Kaiser permanecerán abiertos, las citas y procedimientos que no sean urgentes pueden retrasarse, dijo Kaiser en un comunicado a los pacientes. Kaiser recomienda a los pacientes comprobar si sus instalaciones locales se ven afectadas por la huelga. Algunas farmacias podrían cerrar temporalmente o reducir el horario durante la huelga.

Kaiser, la aseguradora privada más grande del estado, opera tres docenas de hospitales y más de 500 consultorios médicos en California.

El año pasado, los trabajadores de salud mental de Kaiser en el norte de California hicieron huelga durante 10 semanas por la cantidad de casos y los largos tiempos de espera. La huelga coincidió con una investigación estatal sobre si la aseguradora de salud estaba brindando a los miembros acceso oportuno y adecuado a las citas. Esa investigación está en curso, dijo a CalMatters un portavoz del Departamento de Atención Médica Administrada.

Esta nota fue realizada con el respaldo de la California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), que trabaja para garantizar que las personas tengan acceso a la atención que necesitan, cuando la necesitan y a un precio que puedan pagar. Visite www.chcf.org para obtener más información.

NEW DEADLINE LOOMS AS STUDENT LOAN PAYMENTS RESTART

student loan payments resume this month after a three-year pause, but people in public service have until the end of the year to benefit from recent repayment reforms.

Federal

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program will forgive the remainder of your federal student loan after you have worked for a public agency or certain nonprofits for 10 years and made 120 payments.

Jessica Saint-Paul, a physician assistant, public health educator and member of the American Federation of Teachers Local 1521, helps run student loan clinics for her union.

"They can come back and apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness," Saint-Paul explained. "And consolidate their loans to get into an income-driven repayment plan all on the same website: StudentAid.gov."

During the Trump administration, the Department of Education rejected 98% of Public Service Loan Forgiveness applications. The American Federation of Teachers sued, and now the agency has to review every single application filed since 2007. Reforms under the Biden administration mean people can get credit for the years they have already worked since October 2007, even if their loan was in forbearance and they had stopped making payments. Some of the most favorable terms expire Dec. 31.

Saint-Paul attended an American Federation

of Teachers student debt clinic in 2018 and discovered she had the wrong repayment plan and faced the reset of her loan payment count to zero. She joined a class-action lawsuit against loan servicer Navient, which forced major changes to the industry. She noted once the feds finally forgave her loans, it gave her the financial freedom to secure her retirement and focus on getting married and starting a family.

"This allows freedom, for you to be able to live your life," Saint-Paul contended. "You're doing the work for the community, I can still do that and not have to worry about a $1,200 a month payment for the next 25 years. This has changed my life tremendously."

American Federation of Teachers Local 1521 members have achieved more than $4 million of student loan forgiveness through Public Service Loan Forgiveness since March of last year.

SE AVECINA UN NUEVO PLAZO EN MEDIO DE LA REANUDACIÓN DE PAGOS DE PRÉSTAMOS ESTUDIANTILES

Lospagos de los préstamos estudiantiles se reanudan este mes tras una pausa de tres años, pero las personas que trabajan en la administración pública tienen hasta finales de año para beneficiarse de las recientes reformas de pago.

El Programa de Condonación de Préstamos para el Servicio Publico perdonara el resto del préstamo federal para estudios, después de haber trabajado para una agencia pública o determinadas organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro durante diez años y haber realizado al menos 120 pagos.

Jessica Saint-Paul es asistente médica y profesora adjunta en un colegio comunitario de LA, que ayuda a dirigir las clínicas de préstamos estudiantiles de su sindicato, y forma parte de la Federación Americana de Profesores, AFT 1521. "Pueden volver y solicitar la condonación de préstamos por servicio público," explica SaintPaul, "y consolidar sus préstamos para entrar en un plan de pago basado en los ingresos, todo en el mismo sitio web: StudentAid.gov."

Durante la administración Trump -el Departamento de Educación rechazo el 98% de Aplicaciones PSLF. La AFT presentó una demanda y ahora la agencia tiene que revisar cada solicitud presentada desde 2007.

Las reformas bajo la Administración de Biden significan que las personas pueden obtener crédito por los anos que ya han trabajado desde octubre de 2007, incluso si su préstamo estaba en indulgencia y habían dejado de hacer pagos. Algunas de las condiciones más favorables vencen el 31 de diciembre.

Saint-Paul asistió a una clínica de deuda estudiantil de AFT en 2018 y descubrió que tenía un plan de pago incorrecto y se enfrentó a restablecer el recuento de pagos de su préstamo a cero. Se unió a una demanda colectiva contra el administrador de préstamos Navient que obligo a realizar cambios importantes en la industria.

Ella dice que una vez que los federales finalmente perdonaron sus préstamos, le dio la libertad financiera para asegurar su jubilación y centrarse en casarse y formar una familia.

"Esto permite libertad, para que puedas vivir tu vida, asegura Saint-Paul. "Estas haciendo trabajo para la comunidad, yo todavía puedo hacerlo y no tengo que preocuparme por un pago

Las conversaciones a la hora de comer también son una oportunidad perfecta para conectarse con sus seres queridos. Un estudio publicado en “New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development” demostró que estas conversaciones ayudan a mejorar el vocabulario de los niños más que leerles en voz alta.

Por ejemplo, estas recetas saludables para el corazón de tostadas de huevo escalfado con salsa de aguacate y tomate, picadillo de camote con huevos y frittata poblana de la iniciativa Healthy for Good Eat Smart, respaldada a nivel nacional por Eggland's Best, están listas en 15 minutos o menos.

Q&A: SARINA SORIANO AND THE MAKING OF A LOVE LETTER TO THE LATINO 49ERS COMMUNITY

Senior Producer for the San Francisco 49ers Breaks Down Her Role in Helping the team Celebrate Latino Heritage Month in an Authentic and Community-Centered Way.

Recentlywe had the opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at the various Latino Heritage Month activations curated by the San Francisco 49ers as part of their yearly celebrations that include the Latino Heritage Night game, digital content and retail merchandise.

Sarina Soriano is an Emmy-winning producer that works with the San Francisco 49ers at their media department, 49ers Studios, creating content for the team’s website and social media channels. She helped coordinate and create the content for this year’s festivities, culminating in a video highlighting the Latino community and 49ers fans.

Born and raised in East Side San Jose, Soriano attended St John Vianney Catholic School and Archbishop Mitty High School, before going to the East Coast to attend Caldwell University in New Jersey where she studied Communication and media Studies, Spanish and Sports Management.

As the first female Senior Producer for the San Francisco 49ers, She is a two-time Emmy Award winner in the following categories: "Best in Craft Achievement Photographer/Editor Spanish: Sarina Soriano" and "Best Sport's Program Live or Post-Produced: 49 Hours."

Alongside the 49ers Latino employee resource group L.E.A.D. Soriano worked to make this year’s Latino Heritage celebrations a particularly home grown and authentic one, culminating in the feature video Unidos: Latinos United

The video features plenty of local fans in the community, cultural touchstones, Latino 49ers players and even some family and friends of Soriano intercut with footage of the team, which happens to be going 4-0 undefeated into the game against the Cowboys this Sunday October 8. That video can be seen here: 49ers.com/video/latinos-unidos-latinos-united.

What was the process for producing a video like the Unidos: Latinos United?

Starting in February, kind of after our season was done, I knew I definitely wanted to do a fan centered piece. And luckily last year I was able to hire an international video producer under me who also helps me exclusively with Spanish video content.

So I let him know, "hey, I know it's the offseason, but let's start maybe brainstorming and we can get this done hopefully in the summer." So finally June comes around, and it's like, "okay, I've been in the business a long time. I know Latino Heritage Month comes up really quick." So we were like, "let's really knock this out and try to create a piece that we feel represents not only Mexicanos, but all of the Latinos here in the Bay Area that happen to be huge 49ers fans."

Video Producer Aaron Sarmiento came up with the script. From that script, that's when we really started to hone down and storyboard exactly what shots we thought would go perfectly with the script and what we were trying to say. There's a bunch of eclectic people in the group, from my grandmother, the girl shopping for my grandmother is my prima, my cousin. I have my hair braider in there. I thought that some type of hair product or something should be included and represented in the video as well.

Aaron had been in contact with our 707 Faithful Group, as well as all those guys with those cool cars. They're here constantly every home game, so we knew we wanted to include them in as well. And then to make it very gen Z-like and just having a really broad younger audience as well, we included our influencers, the Salguero family, as well as the Aguilars.

So it's truly awesome to see that all come together and everyone who was so willing to want to be a part of it. I can't forget Fred Warner and the rest of our players, who, from the moment they heard it, were like, "I would love to represent my culture and what that means to me." So it was awesome that we were able to produce that and have that be the hero piece for Latino Heritage Month at the 49ers.

I read that you were the first female senior producer for the team. What was it like stepping into that role and being the first?

I was hired in 2016 as an intern, part of the Denise DeBartolo York Fellowship, where it put women who had just graduated from college in six departments that were underrepresented and that were male dominated.

I knew growing up that I wanted to be specifically with broadcast or cameras, so I knew my heart was in 49ers Studios as soon as I stepped into that rotation. After one year, the program ended, and I was very lucky to be the first female in the entire group. I think a lot of that attributes to women not being able to see a lot of women on screen holding cinema cameras.

Back when I was in middle school, the only Latina I saw on my screen was Michele Tafoya. So I thought that I wanted to be a sports reporter growing up, but I always have had this love for cameras, so I think it's truly an honor to be one of the first. But I just hope that women see the work

that I'm doing and not only appreciate the art of it itself, but also the fact that I'm doing it in this space where we're not really seen as much. And I hope that young women can see and can learn that they can go this path if they really want it as well.

Could you talk a little bit about the L.E.A.D. group and what that entails?

Yeah, I feel really special working for the 49ers because of our Latino employee resource group. We're called L.E.A.D., and we have a wonderful group that was in charge of the complete slogan for the entire month of Latino Heritage Month, which was "Latinos Unidos", so you see that in all of our graphics. You see that on game day, you see that on social media. So they played a really huge part in all the activations that we were able to achieve for this month. So it's really cool to be a part of them and to get their input on certain things. And they were also part of the Latino Heritage video as well. They were all those people holding the flags from their culture, so it was really cool to include them in that.

Can you tell me a little bit about any feedback or commentary you've gotten from this video going out into the public and maybe from the people that are in the video themselves, like what they think of it?

Yeah, I feel so blessed and just still a little bit overwhelmed by the outpouring of positive messages and responses, not only from the 49ers organi-

zation and the Latinos in this business, but even from mothers and daughters saying that they felt represented, that they were like, "I truly resonated with the video. I get my hair done. It's so cool seeing Fred and Alfredo on the screen." I think when people say that your work is inspiring them, it's going to take your breath away a little bit. But I'm just glad that they know that not only are they represented with the 49ers, but we care about them as an organization as well.

Can you talk a little bit about what else is going on with the team for the end of the Latino Heritage Month and anything you've done already?

I think one of the biggest things and elements that we've done, we had a whole Latino Heritage Month game against the Giants. So that whole game, from the music that had a lot of Latin flavor and culture incorporated in it, to the video that played on the big boards, that was probably our main piece.

But also, our L.E.A.D. team, like I said, played a huge part in the Latinos Unidos slogan. But we are also highlighting a lot of our Latino and Latinas that work in the 49ers through LinkedIn and on various other social posts through the 49ers channels.

Additionally, we have Latino Heritage Month merchandise that we have been selling in the store where you could grab some pins, some hats that are super popular, shirts and all that. So we've been trying to do multiple things in that regard social, but there's also in regard to videos, we have our players speaking Spanish in the locker room. We're going to do more videos on that on a weekly basis. So we're going to continue to do that through the end of Latino Heritage Month.

So, overall, what has been your takeaway in working on these community focused events and content for the team? How does that make you feel, being Latina as well?

Being able to not only represent who I am, my family and my culture through my art is something that is so special to me. I absolutely love the 49ers and I absolutely love who I am, and being able to mix that together is a dream come true. Being a Latina in sports can be sometimes very daunting, especially when I first started in my career. But just to see the amount of growth of women in general in the sport and on my marketing team even, there's actually a few other Latinas on the marketing team, and I've never worked with so many Latinas. It's truly amazing, and I just know that more people who look like me are going to want to continue to have their careers in these sports.

And I just hope that they feel that I am a resource of some sort that could try to help and give them advice into how to get their foot in the door, but also how to truly be authentic to who they are in this huge space where we're still very much underrepresented.

And as seen in the video, having Latina/os in these spaces equals very organic outreach to the community of fans as well.

Yeah, exactly. I love how I was able to incorporate just fans who've been a part of the team forever, like the guys in the car or just all of that. They felt so appreciative to even be noticed and it's like, absolutely. You guys are what make the team go around. We do this for our fans, so it was awesome to include them.

Is there any final thought you have on this?

I think I basically said it, always be proud of who you are and authentic to yourself, your culture and what you want to represent, and know that people out there can really feel connected to you because of how authentic you are.

Q&A: SARINA SORIANO Y LA ELABORACIÓN DE UNA CARTA DE AMOR A LA COMUNIDAD LATINA DE LOS 49ERS

La productora Senior de los 49ers de San Francisco analiza su papel al ayudar al equipo a celebrar el Mes de la Herencia Latina de una manera auténtica y centrada en la comunidad.

Arturo Hilario El Observador

tuvimos la oportunidad de ver detrás de escena las diversas activaciones del Mes de la Herencia Latina seleccionadas por los 49ers de San Francisco como parte de sus celebraciones anuales que incluyen el juego de la Noche de la Herencia Latina, contenido digital y productos minoristas.

Recientemente

Sarina Soriano es una productora ganadora de un Emmy que trabaja con los 49ers de San Francisco en su departamento de medios, 49ers Studios, creando contenido para el sitio web del equipo y los canales de redes sociales. Ella ayudó a coordinar y crear el contenido para las festividades de este año, que culminó con un video que destaca a la comunidad latina y a los fanáticos de los 49ers.

Nacida y criada en East Side San José, Soriano asistió a la escuela católica St John Vianney y a la escuela secundaria Archbishop Mitty, antes de ir a la costa este para asistir a la Universidad Caldwell en Nueva Jersey, donde estudió comunicación y estudios de medios, español y gestión deportiva.

Como primera productora senior de los San Francisco 49ers, ha ganado dos premios Emmy en las siguientes categorías: "Mejor fotógrafo/ editor en artesanía en español: Sarina Soriano" y "Mejor programa deportivo en vivo o postproducido: 49 horas."

Junto con el grupo de recursos para empleados latinos de los 49ers, L.E.A.D. Soriano trabajó para hacer que las celebraciones de la Herencia Latina de este año fueran particularmente locales y auténticas, lo que culminó con el video largometraje Unidos: Latinos United

El video presenta muchos fanáticos locales en la comunidad, referencias culturales, jugadores latinos de los 49ers e incluso algunos familiares y amigos de Soriano intercalados con imágenes del equipo, que va invicto 4-0 en el juego contra los Cowboys este domingo 8 de octubre. El video se puede ver aquí: 49ers.com/video/latinosunidos-latinos-united.

¿Cuál fue el proceso para producir un video como Unidos: Latinos United?

A partir de febrero, más o menos después de que terminó nuestra temporada, supe que definitivamente quería hacer una pieza centrada en los fans. Y afortunadamente el año pasado pude contratar a un productor de video internacional que también me ayuda exclusivamente con contenido de video en español.

Así que le hice saber: "Oye, sé que es receso de temporada, pero tal vez comencemos a hacer una lluvia de ideas y, con suerte, podremos hacerlo en el verano". Finalmente llega junio y pienso: "Está bien, he estado en el negocio por mucho tiempo. Sé que el Mes de la Herencia Latina llega muy rápido". Entonces pensamos: "Dejemos esto de lado y tratemos de crear una pieza que sintamos que represente no solo a los mexicanos, sino a todos los latinos aquí en el Área de la Bahía que son grandes fanáticos de los 49ers".

Al productor de vídeo Aaron Sarmiento se le ocurrió el guión. A partir de ese guión, fue cuando realmente comenzamos a perfeccionar y crear un guión gráfico exactamente de qué tomas pensábamos que irían perfectamente con el guión y lo que estábamos tratando de decir. Hay un montón de gente ecléctica en el grupo, desde mi abuela, la chica que compra para mi abuela es mi prima. Tengo mi trenzadora de pelo ahí. Pensé que algún tipo de producto para el cabello o algo así debería incluirse y representarse en el video también.

Aaron había estado en contacto con nuestro 707 Faithful Group, así como con todos esos muchachos con esos autos geniales. Están aquí constantemente en todos los partidos en casa, por lo que sabíamos que también queríamos incluirlos. Y luego, para hacerlo muy parecido a la generación Z y tener también una audiencia más joven y amplia, incluimos a nuestros influencers, la familia Salguero y los Aguilar. Así que es realmente asombroso ver que todos se unen y todos los que estaban tan dispuestos a querer ser parte de esto. No puedo olvidar a Fred Warner y el resto de nuestros jugadores, quienes, desde el momento en que lo escucharon, dijeron: "Me encantaría representar mi cultura y lo que eso significa para mí". Así que fue increíble que pudiéramos producir eso y que fuera la pieza principal del Mes de la Herencia Latina en los 49ers.

Leí que fuiste la primera productora senior del equipo. ¿Cómo fue asumir ese papel y ser la primera?

Me contrataron en 2016 como pasante, parte de la beca Denise DeBartolo York, donde metió a mujeres que acababan de graduarse de la universidad en seis departamentos que estaban subrepresentados y dominados por hombres.

Mientras crecía, supe que quería estar específicamente en transmisiones o cámaras, así que supe que mi corazón estaba en 49ers Studios tan pronto como entré en esa rotación. Después de un año, el programa terminó y tuve mucha suerte de ser la primera mujer de todo el grupo. Creo que mucho de eso se debe a que las mujeres no pueden ver a muchas mujeres en la pantalla sosteniendo cámaras de cine.

Cuando estaba en la escuela secundaria, la única latina que vi en mi pantalla fue Michele Tafoya. Entonces, pensé que quería ser reportera deportiva cuando era niña, pero siempre he tenido este amor por las cámaras, así que creo que es un verdadero honor ser una de las primeras. Pero solo espero que las mujeres vean el

trabajo que estoy haciendo y no solo aprecien el arte en sí, sino también el hecho de que lo estoy haciendo en este espacio donde realmente no se nos ve tanto.

Y espero que las mujeres jóvenes puedan ver y aprender que ellas también pueden seguir este camino si realmente lo desean.

¿Podrías hablar un poco sobre el grupo L.E.A.D. y lo que eso implica?

Sí, me siento realmente especial trabajando para los 49ers gracias a nuestro grupo de recursos para empleados latinos. Nos llamamos L.E.A.D. y tenemos un grupo maravilloso que estuvo a cargo del lema completo durante todo el mes del Mes de la Herencia Latina, que fue "Latinos Unidos", así que lo ves en todos nuestros gráficos. Lo ves el día del juego, lo ves en las redes sociales. Así que jugaron un papel muy importante en todas las activaciones que pudimos lograr durante este mes. Así que es genial ser parte de ellos y recibir sus opiniones sobre ciertas cosas. Y también fueron parte del video de Latino Heritage. Eran todas esas personas que sostenían banderas de su cultura, así que fue genial incluirlos en eso.

¿Puedes contarme un poco sobre algún comentario o retroalimentación que hayas recibido de este video y tal vez de las personas que están en el video, qué piensan de él?

Sí, me siento muy bendecida y todavía un poco abrumada por la avalancha de mensajes y respuestas positivas, no sólo de la organización 49ers y los latinos en este negocio, sino incluso de madres e hijas que dijeron que se sentían representadas, que decían: "Realmente resoné con el video". Me peino. Es genial ver a Fred y Alfredo en la pantalla". Creo que cuando la gente dice que tu trabajo los inspira, te dejará sin aliento un poco. Pero me alegra que sepan que no sólo están representados con los 49ers, sino que también nos preocupamos por ellos como organización.

¿Puedes hablar un poco sobre qué más está pasando con el equipo para el final del Mes de la Herencia Latina y algo que haya hecho ya?

Creo que una de las cosas y elementos más importantes que hemos hecho es que tuvimos todo un juego del Mes de la Herencia Latina contra los Gigantes. Así que todo el juego, desde la música que tenía mucho sabor y cultura latina incorporada, hasta el video que se reproducía en los tableros grandes, esa fue probablemente nuestra pieza principal.

Pero también nuestro equipo L.E.A.D., como dije, jugó un papel muy importante en el lema de Latinos Unidos. Pero también estamos destacando a muchos de nuestros latinos y latinas que trabajan en los 49ers a través de LinkedIn y en varias otras publicaciones sociales a través de los canales de los 49ers.

Además, tenemos productos del Mes de la Herencia Latina que hemos estado vendiendo en la tienda donde puedes conseguir algunos broches, algunas gorras que son súper populares, camisas y todo eso. Así que hemos estado tratando de hacer varias cosas en ese sentido social, pero también en lo que respecta a los videos, tenemos a nuestros jugadores hablando español para hacerlo hasta el final del Mes de la Herencia Latina.

Entonces, en general, ¿Cuál ha sido tu conclusión al trabajar en estos eventos y contenidos centrados en la comunidad para el equipo, cómo te hace sentir eso de ser latina también?

Poder no solo representar quién soy, mi familia y mi cultura a través de mi arte es algo muy especial para mí. Amo absolutamente a los 49ers y amo quién soy, y poder combinar eso es un sueño hecho realidad. Ser latina en los deportes puede ser a veces muy desalentador, especialmente cuando comencé mi carrera.

Pero solo para ver la cantidad de crecimiento de las mujeres en general en el deporte e incluso en mi equipo de marketing, en realidad hay algunas otras latinas en el equipo de marketing, y nunca he trabajado con tantas latinas. Es realmente asombroso y sé que más personas que se parecen a mí querrán continuar con sus carreras en estos deportes.

Y sólo espero que sientan que soy un recurso de algún tipo que podría intentar ayudarlos y darles consejos sobre cómo poner un pie en la puerta, pero también sobre cómo ser verdaderamente auténticos con quienes son en este enorme espacio donde todavía estamos muy subrepresentados.

Y como se ve en el video, tener latinos en estos espacios también equivale a un alcance muy orgánico para la comunidad de fans, Si, exacto. Me encanta cómo pude incorporar solo a fans que han sido parte del equipo desde siempre, como los muchachos en el auto o simplemente todo eso. Se sintieron muy agradecidos de incluso ser notados y es absolutamente. Ustedes son los que hacen que el equipo funcione. Hacemos esto por nuestros fans, así que fue fantástico incluirlos.

¿Tienes algún pensamiento final sobre esto?

Creo que básicamente lo dije: siéntete siempre orgulloso de quién eres y auténtico contigo mismo, tu cultura y lo que quieres representar, y debes saber que la gente realmente puede sentirse conectada contigo por lo auténtico que eres.

TWO CA NONPROFIT LEADERS WIN AARP PURPOSE PRIZE

Suzanne Potter California News Service

Leaders of two nonprofits in California have won the 2024 AARP Purpose Prize, which honors people over age fifty who are making a difference.

Don Schoendorfer from Irvine, who designed a wheelchair that can be distributed easily in developing countries through his nonprofit, "Free Wheelchair Mission," is the first.

Dr. Laura Stachel, founder of We Care Solar and an obstetrician from Berkeley, is second, after an unnerving experience while conducting medical research in Africa drove her to help.

"I was working in a hospital in northern Nigeria in 2008," Stachel recounted. "I was actually helping on a C-section when the lights went out. And I couldn't believe it. We were trying to finish the surgery where there was no light in the room. If we hadn't had a flashlight that I brought with me, there would have been no light to finish."

She founded We Care Solar in 2010 to provide solar electricity to maternal health facilities. Since then, the nonprofit has equipped more than 8,000 clinics in over 20 countries with suitcases equipped with solar power and medical devices.

Health centers like this one in Uganda use We Care Solar Suitcases to maintain reliable power. The nonprofit estimates almost 14 million mothers and newborns have benefited since 2010. Photo Credit: We Care Solar

Stachel noted it costs about $3,600 to donate a suitcase, ship and install it, plus train the local health care workers, and maintain it at a clinic for five years.

"The Solar Suitcase is mounted to a wall inside the health facility and has four medical/ surgical lights, a fetal Doppler, an infrared thermometer," Stachel outlined. "It has 12volt DC charging for phones and other devices. And it enables health facilities to work around the clock, seven days a week."

Purpose Prize winners get a $50,000 donation to their organization and are eligible for another $10,000 through the AARP Inspire Award. The competition allows the public to vote for their favorite Purpose Prize winner.

"Estaba trabajando en un hospital en el norte de Nigeria en 2008," recuerda Stachel. "Estaba ayudando en una cesárea cuando se fue la luz. Y no lo podía creer. Estábamos tratando de terminar la cirugía donde no había luz en la habitación. Si no hubiéramos tenido una linterna que traje conmigo, no habría habido luz para terminar."

California News Service

Lideres de dos organizaciones sin fines de lucro de California han ganado el Premio AARP Purpose 2024, que distingue a personas mayores de cincuenta años que marcan la diferencia.

El primero es Don Schoendorfer, de Irvine, quien diseño una silla de ruedas que puede distribuirse fácilmente en países en desarrollo, a través de su organización sin fines de lucro "Free Wheelchair Mission".

La segunda es la Dra. Laura Stachel, obstetra de Berkeley, que fundo We Care Solar, tras una experiencia inquietante durante una investigación médica en Africa.

Así que fundo We Care Solar en 2010 para suministrar electricidad solar a los centros de salud materna. Desde entonces, la organización sin fines de lucro ha equipado más de 8,000 clínicas en más de 20 países con maletas equipadas con energía solar y dispositivos médicos.

Stachel dice que cuesta unos $36,000 donar una maleta, enviarla e instalarla, además de capacitar a los trabajadores médicos locales y mantenerla en una clínica durante cinco años.

"La Maleta Solar se instala en una pared del centro de salud y tiene cuatro luces médicoquirúrgicas, un Doppler fetal y un termómetro infrarrojo," subraya Stachel. "Tiene 12 voltios de corriente continua para cargar teléfonos y otros dispositivos. Y permite a los centros de salud trabajar las veinticuatro horas del día, siete días a la semana."

Los ganadores del Premio Purpose reciben una donación de $50,000 para su organización y son elegibles para recibir otros $10,000 a través del AARP Inspire Award. Ese concurso permite al público votar por su ganador favorito del Premio Purpose.

NEWSOM PICKS LAPHONZA BUTLER , POLITICAL ALLY AND POWER PLAYER, TO REPLACE FEINSTEIN

The governor says he’s not stopping the president of EMILY’s List and former University of California regent from running for a full term in the 2024 election. He rebuffed pressure to appoint Rep. Barbara Lee.

Alexei Koseff CalMatters

NEWSOM ELIGE A LAPHONZA BUTLER, UNA MUJER INFLUYENTE Y ALIADA POLÍTICA, PARA REEMPLAZAR A DIANNE FEINSTEIN EN EL SENADO

El gobernador dice que no impedirá que la presidenta de la organización EMILY's List y ex regente de la Universidad de California se postule para un mandato completo en las elecciones de 2024. Rechazó la presión para nombrar a la congresista Barbara Lee.

Laphonza

Butler, a longtime political strategist with close ties to organized labor and Gov. Gavin Newsom, will take the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat in the U.S. Senate following her death Friday September 29.

The appointment, reported by Politico tonight and confirmed by the governor’s office, closes a brief but rapid period of speculation about how Newsom would fulfill a promise to return a Black woman to the Senate without tipping the scales in what is already a crowded race to succeed Feinstein.

“As we mourn the enormous loss of Senator Feinstein, the very freedoms she fought for — reproductive freedom, equal protection, and safety from gun violence — have never been under greater assault,” Newsom said in a statement. “Laphonza will carry the baton left by Senator Feinstein, continue to break glass ceilings, and fight for all Californians in Washington D.C.”

Butler currently serves as president of EMILYs List, an organization that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights. She was for many years the head of SEIU Local 2015, a union representing California long-term caregivers, before becoming a partner in what was then known as SCRB Strategies, Newsom’s political consulting firm, and later working in public policy for Airbnb. She’s also a former University of California regent.

Her selection allows Newsom, who enjoys making political history with his appointments, to once again celebrate a milestone — Butler is the first openly LGBTQ person to represent California in the Senate. She lives in Maryland with her partner, Neneki Lee, and their daughter, Nylah, according to an online biography.

“For women and girls, for workers and unions, for struggling parents waiting for our leaders to bring opportunity back to their homes, for all of California, I’m ready to serve,” Butler said in a statement.

Republicans swiftly criticized Newsom for choosing someone from outside the state. Izzy Gardon, a spokesperson for the governor, said that Butler is a longtime California homeowner who moved to the Washington, D.C., area to run EMILYs List and that she would re-register to vote in California before being sworn into the Senate.

In a statement, Tony Hoang, executive director of the LGBTQ rights advocacy group Equality

California, celebrated “another voice in Congress at a time when our rights and freedoms are under attack across the country.”

This is Newsom’s second Senate appointment, and he faced tremendous pressure to choose a Black woman for the position. Only two, including Vice President Kamala Harris, have ever served as senators and none currently do.

Newsom promised to do so during an MSNBC interview in March 2021, an effort to alleviate the anger some activists felt when he chose Alex Padilla to be California’s first Latino senator after then-Sen. Harris was elected vice president.

But earlier this month, the governor told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he would make an “interim appointment” if he had to fill Feinstein’s seat because he did not “want to get involved in the primary,” even as he remained committed to choosing a Black woman.

That seemingly ruled out Rep. Barbara Lee, an Oakland Democrat who is already running for Senate. She trails Reps. Adam Schiff, a Burbank Democrat, and Katie Porter, an Irvine Democrat, who are both white, in public polls about the March primary.

Lee and her supporters were incensed, calling it offensive that a Black woman should only get to serve in the Senate in a caretaker capacity. Many of them, including the Congressional Black Caucus, publicly urged Newsom to select her anyway in the days after Feinstein’s death.

After Newsom’s announcement, Lee wished Butler well in an online statement, but said she is “singularly focused on winning my campaign for Senate.”

“CA deserves an experienced Senator who will deliver on progressive priorities,” she said.

“That’s exactly what I’m running to do.”

Butler’s appointment could further complicate the race. Newsom appeared to back off his earlier pledge on Sunday, when his office confirmed that his appointee would be free to run for a full term.

It isn’t clear yet whether Butler will run. If she does, she will have to manage two campaigns at once — one for the regular election to succeed Feinstein, and one for a special election to fill out the remainder of her term, which is expected to be held concurrently, with a primary in March and a potential runoff in November.

Newsom communications adviser Anthony York denied that

the governor had changed his mind about a short-term appointment and said his comment referred to the fact that his appointee would serve as an interim until the next election. York said Newsom regretted not clearing up the confusion sooner, but the decision about a replacement was still hypothetical at that time.

Despite her previous career, organized labor is likely to split on Butler. Many felt betrayed when she represented Uber in 2019 as the company tried to broker a deal that would avoid classifying their drivers as employees. Several unions have already endorsed other candidates in the Senate race.

Newsom’s quick decision on the appointment, which should allow Butler to be sworn in this week, will boost the razor-thin majority that Democrats hold in the Senate — a potentially crucial vote in the month ahead as Congress, which barely avoided a government shutdown this weekend, must pass another bill to fund operations by midNovember.

“Governor Newsom’s swift action ensures that Californians maintain full representation in the Senate as we navigate a narrow Democratic majority,” Padilla said in a statement. “I look forward to working together to deliver for the people of California.”

Durante muchos años fue directora de SEIU Local 2015, un sindicato que representa a los cuidadores a largo plazo de California, antes de convertirse en socia de lo que entonces se conocía como SCRB Strategies, la firma de consultoría política de Newsom, y luego trabajar en políticas públicas para Airbnb. También es ex regente de la Universidad de California.

Su selección permite a Newsom, a quien le gusta hacer historia política con sus nombramientos, celebrar una vez más un hito: Butler es la primera persona abiertamente LGBTQ en representar a California en el Senado. Vive en Maryland con su pareja, Neneki Lee, y su hija, Nylah, según una biografía en línea.

Los republicanos rápidamente criticaron a Newsom por elegir a alguien de fuera del estado. Izzy Gardon, portavoz del gobernador, dijo que Butler es propietaria de una vivienda en California desde hace mucho tiempo y se mudó al área de Washington, DC para administrar EMILY’s List y que se volvería a registrar para votar en California antes de prestar juramento en el Senado.

CalMatters

Laphonza Butler, una estratega política desde hace mucho tiempo con estrechos vínculos con los sindicatos y el gobernador Gavin Newsom, ocupará el escaño de la fallecida senadora Dianne Feinstein en el Senado de Estados Unidos tras su muerte el viernes 29 de septiembre.

El nombramiento, informado inicialmente por Politico esta noche y confirmado por la oficina del gobernador, cierra un breve pero rápido período de especulaciones sobre cómo Newsom cumpliría su promesa de devolver a una mujer de raza negra al Senado sin inclinar la balanza en lo que ya es una carrera concurrida para reemplazar a Feinstein.

“Mientras lamentamos la enorme pérdida de la senadora Feinstein, las mismas libertades por las que luchó (libertad reproductiva, igualdad de protección y seguridad frente a la violencia armada) nunca han estado bajo mayor ataque”, dijo Newsom en un comunicado. “Laphonza llevará el legado dejado por la senadora Feinstein, seguirá rompiendo techos de cristal y luchará por todos los californianos en Washington DC”.

Butler actualmente se desempeña como presidenta de EMILYs List, una organización que trabaja para elegir a mujeres demócratas que apoyan

primarias de marzo.

Lee y sus partidarios estaban indignados y calificaron de ofensivo que una mujer de raza negra solo pudiera servir en el Senado en calidad de interina. Muchos de ellos, incluido el Caucus Negro del Congreso, instaron públicamente a Newsom a seleccionarla de todos modos en los días posteriores a la muerte de Feinstein.

El nombramiento de Butler podría complicar aún más la carrera. Newsom pareció retractarse de su promesa anterior el domingo, cuando su oficina confirmó que su designado sería libre de postularse para un mandato completo.

Aún no está claro si Butler se postulará. Si lo hace, tendrá que gestionar dos campañas a la vez: una para las elecciones regulares para suceder a Feinstein, y otra para una elección especial para completar el resto de su mandato, que se espera se celebre al mismo tiempo, con una primaria en marzo y una posible segunda vuelta en noviembre.

En un comunicado, Tony Hoang, director ejecutivo del grupo de defensa de los derechos LGBTQ Equality California, celebró “otra voz en el Congreso en un momento en que nuestros derechos y libertades están bajo ataque en todo el país”.

Este es el segundo nombramiento de Newsom en el Senado y enfrentó una tremenda presión para elegir a una mujer de raza negra para el puesto. Sólo dos, incluida la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris, han sido senadoras y ninguna lo hace actualmente.

Newsom prometió hacerlo durante una entrevista de MSNBC en marzo de 2021, en un esfuerzo por aliviar la ira que sintieron algunos activistas cuando eligió a Alex Padilla para ser el primer senador latino de California después de que la entonces senadora Harris fuera elegida vicepresidenta.

Pero a principios de este mes, el gobernador dijo al programa “Meet the Press” de NBC que haría un “nombramiento interino” si tuviera que ocupar el puesto de Feinstein porque no “quería involucrarse en las primarias”, aun cuando seguía comprometido con elegir una mujer de raza negra.

Eso aparentemente descartó a la representante Barbara Lee, una demócrata de Oakland que ya se postula para el Senado. Está detrás de los representantes Adam Schiff, demócrata de Burbank, y Katie Porter, demócrata de Irvine, ambos blancos, en las encuestas públicas sobre las

El asesor de comunicaciones de Newsom, Anthony York, negó que el gobernador hubiera cambiado de opinión sobre un nombramiento a corto plazo y dijo que su comentario se refería al hecho de que su designado serviría como interino hasta las próximas elecciones. York dijo que Newsom lamentaba no haber aclarado la confusión antes, pero que la decisión sobre un reemplazo aún era hipotética en ese momento.

A pesar de su carrera anterior, es probable que los sindicatos se dividan en torno a Butler. Muchos se sintieron traicionados cuando representó a Uber en 2019 cuando la compañía intentó llegar a un acuerdo que evitaría clasificar a sus conductores como empleados. Varios sindicatos ya han respaldado a otros candidatos en la carrera por el Senado.

La rápida decisión de Newsom sobre el nombramiento, que debería permitir a Butler prestar juramento esta semana, impulsará la estrecha mayoría que tienen los demócratas en el Senado, una votación potencialmente crucial en el próximo mes, ya que el Congreso, que apenas evitó un cierre del gobierno este fin de semana, debe aprobar otro proyecto de ley para financiar las operaciones a mediados de noviembre.

“La rápida acción del gobernador Newsom garantiza que los californianos mantengan una representación plena en el Senado mientras navegamos por una estrecha mayoría demócrata”, dijo Padilla en un comunicado. “Espero trabajar juntos para ayudar a la gente de California”.

EARTHTALK Q&A: POLLUTION LINKED TO MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS

Dear EarthTalk: Are there any proven links between exposure to pollution and mental health problems?

John C.,

EARTHTALK Q&A: LA CONTAMINACIÓN ESTÁ VINCULADA A PROBLEMAS DE SALUD MENTAL

EarthTalk

Mentalhealth and environment are two issues often in the spotlight, though not often associated together. But some researchers have begun to find links between increases in polluted air, water and soil and growing mental health problems throughout our society.

Several recent studies showed that exposure to high levels of air pollutants, like fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, is linked to higher risks of mental health problems. Several studies have found that long-term exposure to air pollution can increase risks of depression, anxiety and even neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Harvard researchers recently concluded that longterm exposure to air pollution correlates to late-life depression in older Americans. More studies are needed, but researchers believe that the inflammation and oxidative stress caused by air pollution likely affects mental health negatively.

Emerging research also suggests that air pollution may have adverse effects on cognitive abilities, including memory and decision-making. These impairments can, in turn, contribute to stress and anxiety. Exposure to contaminants like lead, arsenic and pesticides in drinking water can have neurotoxic effects, too, leading to behavioral and cognitive problems in both children and adults and contributing to the development of mental health issues like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

and depression.

Noise pollution, often overlooked but pervasive in urban areas, can also harm mental well-being. Chronic exposure to noise pollution can lead to increased stress levels, sleep disturbances and heightened anxiety and depression.

Noise pollution's negative impact on mental health is compounded by its association with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, which can further contribute to mental health problems.

Environmental justice aspects of pollution and mental health are at issue, too.

Low-income communities and marginalized populations are often disproportionately exposed to pollution due to factors such as proximity to industrial facilities and limited access to green spaces. Consequently, these communities face a higher burden of mental health issues linked to pollution, exacerbat-

ing existing health disparities.

Addressing these concerns requires concerted efforts on multiple fronts. Governments and regulatory bodies must prioritize air and water quality standards, enforce pollution controls and invest in cleaner technologies. Individuals can reduce their personal exposure by using air purifiers and cleaner transportation options, and advocating for clean energy policies. Also, mental health services need to incorporate environmental factors into their assessment and treatment plans. Healthcare professionals should be trained to recognize the potential role of pollution in mental health problems.

Lasalud mental y el medio ambiente son dos temas que suelen estar en el candelero, aunque no se suelen asociar. Pero algunos investigadores han empezado a encontrar vínculos entre el aumento de aire, agua y suelo contaminados y los crecientes problemas de salud mental en toda nuestra sociedad.

Varios estudios recientes han demostrado que la exposición a niveles elevados de contaminantes atmosféricos, como las partículas finas y el dióxido de nitrógeno, está relacionada con un mayor riesgo de problemas de salud mental. Varios estudios han descubierto que la exposición prolongada a la contaminación atmosférica puede aumentar los riesgos de depresión, ansiedad e incluso trastornos del neurodesarrollo en los niños. Recientemente, investigadores de Harvard han llegado a la conclusión de que la exposición prolongada a la contaminación atmosférica está

relacionada con la depresión tardía en los estadounidenses mayores. Se necesitan más estudios, pero los investigadores creen que la inflamación y el estrés oxidativo causados por la contaminación atmosférica pueden afectar negativamente a la salud mental.

Las nuevas investigaciones también sugieren que la contaminación atmosférica puede tener efectos adversos en las capacidades cognitivas, como la memoria y la toma de decisiones. Estas deficiencias pueden, a su vez, contribuir al estrés y la ansiedad. La exposición a contaminantes como el plomo, el arsénico y los pesticidas en el agua potable también puede tener efectos neurotóxicos, provocando problemas cognitivos y de comportamiento tanto en niños como en adultos y contribuyendo al desarrollo de problemas de salud mental como el trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) y la depresión. La contaminación acústica, a menudo ignorada pero omnipresente en las zonas urbanas, también puede perjudicar el bienestar mental. La exposición

crónica a la contaminación acústica puede aumentar los niveles de estrés, alterar el sueño y agravar la ansiedad y la depresión. El impacto negativo de la contaminación acústica en la salud mental se ve agravado por su asociación con un mayor riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, que pueden contribuir aún más a los problemas de salud mental.

Los aspectos de justicia ambiental de la contaminación y la salud mental también están en juego. Las comunidades de bajos ingresos y las poblaciones marginadas suelen estar desproporcionadamente expuestas a la contaminación debido a factores como la proximidad a instalaciones industriales y el acceso limitado a espacios verdes.

En consecuencia, estas comunidades se enfrentan a una mayor carga de problemas de salud mental relacionados con la contaminación, lo que agrava las disparidades sanitarias existentes. Abordar estos problemas requiere esfuerzos concertados en múltiples frentes. Los gobiernos y los organismos reguladores deben dar prioridad a las normas de calidad del aire y del agua, hacer cumplir los controles de la contaminación e invertir en tecnologías más limpias. Las personas pueden reducir su exposición personal utilizando purificadores de aire y medios de transporte menos contaminantes, y abogando por políticas energéticas limpias. Asimismo, los servicios de salud mental deben incorporar los factores ambientales a sus planes de evaluación y tratamiento. Los profesionales sanitarios deben recibir formación para reconocer el papel potencial de la contaminación en los problemas de salud mental.

Teatro Visión

Laundécima obra del Día de los Muertos de Teatro Visión, La Muerte Baila creada por Rebecca Martinez y el ensamble de Teatro Milagro, es una graciosa historia sobre el perdón, el recuerdo y la elección de cómo vivimos nuestras vidas. La Muerte Baila se presenta en la Plaza de la Herencia Mexicana del 12 al 22 de octubre.

La obra relata la historia de un nuevo muertito llamado Alejandro quien acaba de llegar al Mictlán en la víspera del Día de los Muertos. Pero la Muerte se da cuenta que algo parece diferente acerca de la llegada de este nuevo muertito—no puede recordar nada de su pasado.

Entre tanto, los muertitos no pueden esperar regresar al mundo de los vivos para visitar a sus seres queridos. Pero el portal hacia el otro lado está cerrado ¡y descubren que uno de ellos los está frenando! Para cruzar al otro lado a tiempo para las fiestas, los muertitos tienen que ayudar a Alejandro a resolver sus asuntos pendientes. De lo contrario, podrían quedarse estancados hasta el próximo año…

La Muerte Baila invita al público a conectarse con la obra de maneras significativas y únicas. Durante la presentación, el público se convierte en partícipe activo en el proceso de sanación de Alejandro al compartir cosas del mundo de los vivos que extrañarían en el más allá. Los giros cómicos de la obra hacen que los actores corren entre el público e interactúen con ellos durante toda la función. El aspecto participativo de la obra comienza

con actividades en el vestíbulo antes de la presentación, continúa espontáneamente a lo largo de toda la historia y termina con una invocación en honor a quienes nos han dejado.

Rodrigo García, el director de la obra, dice que, “La Muerte Baila es una conmovedora historia de amor y

perdón que nos muestra cómo podemos superar los desafíos de la vida—o de la muerte—con la ayuda de los que nos rodean. Esta encantadora obra ideada por Rebecca Martinez y el ensamble de Teatro Milagro usa el humor y la ligereza para recordarnos que la risa es una poderosa medicina para el corazón.”

Durante el proceso de ensayo de la obra, Teatro Visión ha colaborado con un grupo de miembros de la comunidad y estudiantes de la Universidad Estatal de San José llamada The Cultural Work of Poetry, un proyecto del Culture Counts Reading Series. Juntos, han creado una serie de poemas que profundizan la conexión de la comunidad con los temas de la obra.

Para explorar la sanación, el humor, la alegría y el recuerdo, miembros de The Cultural Work of Poetry han presentado varios talleres con estudiantes de secundaria y de colegio, miembros de la comunidad y artistas y han creado varios poemas que resuenan con La Muerte Baila. Uno de estos poemas se leerá al principio de cada función para conectar las experiencias de la comunidad con las historias de los personajes en la obra.

Puede asistir a La Muerte Baila en persona del 12 al 22 de octubre en la Plaza de la Herencia

Mexicana. Boletos de $10 a $40 ya están a la venta por medio de www.teatrovision.org/lamuertebaila o llamando al (408) 294-6621. La Muerte Baila está dirigida por Rodrigo García y cuenta con la dirección musical de Lolis García. Presentada en español con supertítulos en inglés y español.

TEATRO VISIÓN’S LA MUERTE BAILA IS A HILARIOUS JOURNEY THROUGH THE AFTERLIFE!

Teatro Visión

Visión’s 11th annual Día de los Muertos play, La Muerte Baila by Rebecca Martinez and the Milagro Ensemble, is a heartwarming story about forgiveness, about remembrance, and about choosing how we live our lives, playing October 12-22 at the Mexican Heritage Plaza.

Teatro

The play follows a recently departed soul named Alejandro who has just arrived in Mictlán, the land of the dead, on the eve of el Día de los Muertos. But la Muerte notices that something is different about this soul’s arrival—he can’t remember anything about his past.

Meanwhile, los muertitos—the dead— can’t wait to get back to the land of the living to visit their loved ones. But the portal to the other land is blocked, and they discover that one of them is holding them back! To cross in time for the holiday, los muertitos have to help Alejandro resolve his unfinished business. Otherwise, they might be stuck until next year…

La Muerte Baila invites audiences to connect with the play in meaningful and unique ways.

During the show, the audience become active participants in Alejandro’s healing

process by sharing things they’d miss from Earth in the afterlife. The play’s comedic twists and turns have actors running through the audience and engaging with them throughout the show. The participatory aspect of the play begins with activities in the lobby beforehand, continues spontaneously throughout the performance, and ends with an invocation honoring those who have left us.

Director Rodrigo García says, “La Muerte Baila is a poignant story of love and forgiveness that shows us how we can overcome challenges in life—or death—with a helping hand from those around us. This ravishing play devised by Rebecca Martinez and the Milagro Theatre ensemble uses levity and humor to remind us that laughter is a powerful medicine para el corazón.”

During the rehearsal process for the play, Teatro Visión has also collaborated with a group of San José State University students and community members called the Cultural Work of Poetry, a project of the Culture Counts Reading Series. Together, they’ve worked to create a series of poems that deepen the community’s connection to the themes of the play.

To explore joy, remembrance, healing, and forgiveness, the Cultural Work of Poetry members have led workshops with college and high school students, community members, and artists and created several poems that resonate with the play. One of these poems will be read aloud at the beginning of each performance, connecting the community’s own experiences to the stories of the play’s characters.

You can see La Muerte Baila live and inperson October 12-22 at the Mexican Heritage Plaza Theater. Tickets are $10 to $40, on sale now at www.teatrovision.org/ lamuertebaila or (408)

294-6621. La Muerte Baila is directed by Rodrigo García and features music direction by Lolis García. In Spanish with supertitles in English and Spanish.

MATTER OF LANIER

Case No. 19FL002379

ATTACHMENT 8(d)

– ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND AFFIDAVIT FOR CONTEMPT

1. Respondent has yet to provide his W-2 or pay any amount of the Smith-Ostler payment owed to me according to the Stipulation and Order filed July 15, 2020.

2. My attorney, Kathryn Schlepphorst, has sent at least two letters (dated March 30, 2023

and July 19, 2022) to his counsel requesting this. have sent several emails requesting the documentation as well.

3. As Respondent has not provided his W-2, the amount is unknown for the Smith-Ostler payment. Respondent’s last Smith-Ostler payment was a total of $213,770.80. As this is a significant amount, it is crucial to figure out what Respondent now owes.

4. As this matter is now post-judgment, we are not able to process the subpoena as normal. We could have to personally serve Respondent with the Notice to Consumer as we would have to Subpoena Apple, Inc., his past employer, for his W-2. This is an unnecessary additional expense that I should not have to incur due to his failure to comply.

5. Both of our counsel have met and conferred on multiple occasions to resolve this issue and we still have yet to receive any paystubs or incomerelated document from him.

6. The true Smith -Ostler amount remains unknown due to lack of Respondent’s W-2.

BPT

Youmay have heard about older adults being tricked into sending money to someone they think is a grandchild or other relative in trouble and thought to yourself, "How could anyone fall for that?" But the truth is, today's advanced technology makes it easier than ever for scammers to trick their unsuspecting and wellmeaning victims.

To protect yourself, it pays to understand how fraudsters work, what red flags to look for, and how to trust your instincts so you don't end up on the losing end of one of these vicious scams.

How grandparent scams work

Scammers prey on kind-hearted victims by convincing people their grandchild or other relative has had an accident or is in some kind of legal or financial trouble. The scammers then plead for money to get them out of the "jam."

For years, criminals have been able to gather facts and personal information from people's social media accounts to contact their older relatives. Once the criminals contact older relatives via text, email or phone, the criminals can sound very convincingly like a relative in dire trouble.

The A.I. twist

Because of advances in artificial intelligence (A.I.), criminals can now make their pleas for cash sound even more convincing when calling

on the phone. According to the Federal Trade Commission, these scammers use A.I. voice cloning software to mimic your relative's voice by pulling the audio from their social media videos.

Unfortunately, scammers often couple this tactic with a "spoofed" phone number that shows up on your caller ID with your relative's name, so it looks like it's really them calling you.

How to spot red flags

Fortunately, there are ways to prevent criminals from stealing from you. The United States Postal Inspection Service® recommends a few simple steps to avoid being taken by this extremely vicious scam.

Watch out for these red flags:

* Late-night calls. Scammers often call victims in the middle of the night, hoping to catch you when you're not fully awake and less likely to think clearly. If that happens to you, tell them you'll call them right back. You can then take the time to fully wake up, gather your wits and contact your grandchild or relative via the method you usually use to talk to them. Do not return the call you just received.

* Urgent pleas for money. Be suspicious of any phone calls including requests for money, even if it sounds like someone you know. Scammers use fear to get you worried about your loved one, so you won't take the time to think things through. If someone asks for money right away, hang up.

Esposible que haya oído hablar de adultos mayores engañados que envían dinero a alguien que creen que es un nieto u otro familiar en problemas y se inclinó a pensar: "¿Cómo podría alguien caer en eso?".

Pero la verdad es que la tecnología avanzada actual hace que sea más fácil que nunca para los estafadores embaucar a víctimas desprevenidas y bien intencionadas.

* Requests for odd methods of payment. If you're asked to send money using methods like a mobile payment app, mailing cash, wiring money, sending gift cards or money orders, or other unusual payment methods, hang up. Once money is sent using these methods, there's no way to get it back. If you are asked to meet somewhere so you can give them cash in person, hang up and report the incident to law enforcement.

If you've been affected by crime that involves the U.S. Mail®, contact the United States Postal Inspection Service at 877-876-2455 or report it online at USPIS.gov/report.

Para protegerse, vale la pena comprender cómo funcionan los estafadores, qué señales de alarma debe buscar, y cómo confiar en sus instintos para no terminar del lado perdedor en una de estas estafas despiadadas.

Cómo funcionan las "estafas a los abuelos"

Los estafadores se aprovechan de las víctimas de buen corazón, convenciéndolas de que un nieto u otro pariente ha tenido un accidente, o confronta algún tipo de problema jurídico o financiero. Luego, inmediatamente, les piden dinero para sacar del "aprieto" al familiar supuestamente afectado.

Durante años, los delincuentes han podido recopilar datos e información personal de las cuentas de redes sociales de los suscriptores para contactar a sus familiares de avanzada edad. Una vez que se ponen en contacto con estos últimos mediante mensajes de texto, correo electrónico o teléfono, pueden ser tan convincentes como un pariente en graves problemas.

La IA en acción

Debido a los avances en inteligencia artificial (IA), ahora los estafadores pueden hacer que sus solicitudes de dinero en efectivo suenen aún más convincentes cuando llaman por teléfono. Según la Comisión Federal de Comercio (Federal Trade Commission, FTC) los delincuentes usan software de clonación de voz por IA para imitar la voz de un familiar al extraer el audio de sus videos en las redes sociales.

Desafortunadamente, los estafadores combinan a menudo esta táctica con un número de teléfono "falsificado" que aparece en el identificador de llamadas de la víctima con el nombre del familiar, lo cual hace pensar que es realmente esa persona quien está llamando.

Cómo detectar señales de alarma Afortunadamente, hay formas de evitar que los delincuentes le roben. El Servicio de Inspección Postal de los Estados Unidos (United States Postal Inspection Service®) recomienda algunas medidas sencillas para no ser engañado por esta estafa extremadamente desalmada.

Tenga cuidado con estas señales de alarma:

* Llamadas nocturnas. Con frecuencia, los estafadores llaman a las víctimas en medio de la noche, con la esperanza de atraparlas cuando no estén completamente despiertas, y sea menos probable que piensen con claridad. Si eso le sucede a usted, dígales que los llamará de inmediato. Luego tómese el tiempo para despertar por completo, recuperar la cordura, y ponerse en contacto con su nieto o pariente a través del método

que suele usar para hablar con ellos. Y no devuelva la llamada que acaba de recibir.

* Peticiones urgentes de dinero. Desconfíe de cualquier llamada telefónica, incluidas las solicitudes de dinero, aunque le parezca que es alguien conocido. Los estafadores recurren al miedo para preocuparlo por su ser querido, para que no se tome el tiempo de pensar las cosas. Si alguien le pide dinero de inmediato, cuelgue. Comuníquese con su ser querido de la manera en que generalmente lo contacta y / o consulte primero con otros miembros confiables de la familia.

* Solicitudes de métodos de pago inusuales. Si le piden que envíe dinero utilizando métodos como una aplicación de pago móvil, dinero en efectivo, transferencia, envío de tarjetas de regalo, giros postales u otros métodos de pago inusuales, cuelgue. Una vez que se envía el dinero utilizando estos métodos, no hay forma de recuperarlo. Si le piden que se reúna en algún lugar con quien le llamó para que pueda darle dinero en efectivo, cuelgue e informe el incidente a la policía.

Si ha sido afectado por un delito vinculado al Correo de los Estados Unidos (U.S. Mail®), comuníquese con el Servicio de Inspección Postal de los Estados Unidos llamando al número telefónico 877-876-2455 o repórtelo en línea en USPIS.gov/report. Si cree que ha sido víctima de la "estafa a los abuelos", repórtelo a la Comisión Federal de Comercio llamando al 888-225-5322 o visitando ConsumerComplaints.FCC.gov.

WHAT DO YOUNG LATINO VOTERS WANT TO HEAR FROM POLITICIANS?

“Young Latinos just want to have normal lives. We don't want to be in crisis mode 24-7 with breaking news alerts going on every two hours.”

¿QUÉ QUIEREN ESCUCHAR LOS JÓVENES VOTANTES LATINOS DE LOS POLÍTICOS?

Los jóvenes latinos sólo quieren tener una vida normal. No queremos estar en modo de crisis las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, con alertas de noticias de última hora cada dos horas”.

- Santiago Mayer, director ejecutivo de Votantes del Mañana. ESPAÑOL ENGLISH

- Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters of Tomorrow.

Ethnic Media Services

Latino youth — predicted to be a major voting bloc in the 2024 Presidential election — are veering from their older family members and shifting hard left on a host of issues, including gun control, reproductive rights, climate change, and immigration policy.

A day ahead of the second Republican Presidential debate, the Brennan Center for Justice hosted a panel discussion Sept. 26, focusing on the rising power of LatinX youth. The panel featured Maria Teresa Kumar, CEO of Voto Latino; Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters of Tomorrow, which he founded at age 17; and Arizona state Rep. Alma Hernandez, who has been involved in Democratic politics since she was fourteen. The panel was moderated by Paola Ramos, a correspondent for Vice and a contributor at Telemundo and MSNBC.

Latinos are now the second largest voting bloc in the United States after non-Hispanic white voters. Latinos are also both the fastest growing and the youngest electorate. In 2022, 34.5 million Latinos were eligible to vote, according to a Pew Research Center study, up almost 5 million since 2018. An estimated 70% of Latinos who vote are registered Democrats. However, candidate engagement with the community is minimal.

‘The Good Old Days of Newt Gingrich’ Panelists noted that narratives about the Latino vote swinging right to support former President Donald Trump are based on a deep campaign of misinformation, perpetuated through both social and mainstream media.

Kumar said candidates would have to take a stance on immigration, going back to their party’s roots.

“There was a time when the Republican party was vying for the Latino vote. And not so long ago in 2012, when Newt Gingrich — former Speaker of the House — was on that stage, he was talking about compassionate pathways to citizenship for people who had been in this country for at least 10 or 20 years.”

“But Republican candidates today have failed miserably because instead they’ve politicized workers, people that want to contribute, who are American: all but a social security number. And as a result, we have been polarized as a country in ways that we never thought possible.”

“So what I would look for of individuals going on to that stage is some leadership and adulthood and speaking straight. Because it’s very easy to demonize the most vulnerable and the most marginalized. But at the end of the day, none of those folks that do that have a pathway to the White House, plain and simple,” said Kumar.

The Frat Boy Demographic

“Our job as Latinos is to make sure that we are paying attention and holding people accountable because at the end of the day, we want the same protections every American has, including for our families,” she added. “The person that wants to truly have a shot at the White House tomorrow night is going to have to be able to divorce themselves from the dangerous policies that are hurting people in Latino communities.”

Mayer discussed the findings of a recent Voters of Tomorrow poll. “Young people care about the economy and jobs. This is number one, which is shocking for a lot of people, but it is really something that we feel in our day-to -day lives,” he said.

“Number two, abortion rights and access to reproductive care. Even some of the groups that you really wouldn’t think care about abortion, like the frat boy demographic, for example, they are very concerned about this issue,” said Mayer.

“We care about gun violence. We’ve grown up with the threat of fearing in our own classrooms. We’ve seen the climate deteriorate, and we are very con-

cerned about the climate crisis,” he said, adding that Latino youth are also concerned about LGBTQ rights even if they are not part of the queer community.

‘Worlds Exploding’

“The bottom line is young people, especially young Latinos just want to have normal lives. We don’t want to be in crisis mode 24-7 with breaking news alerts going on every two hours. We just want to be able to sit down and have a normal conversation without something in the world exploding and having to deal with it,” said Mayer.

“Candidates need to lean on that, especially the Republican candidates who keep in many ways sort of denying reality, especially with regards to like climate and gun violence,” he added.

Hernandez, the youngest-ever representative in the Arizona state Legislature, said she would like to see the candidates comprehensively address reproductive rights.

Another Day Older and Deeper in Debt

“Women’s health is going to be on the ballot again. And I think it’s really critical that these candidates tell us where they stand on this issue. If they’re, if they think they’re going to win by saying: ‘we’re going to continue to attack women and their reproductive rights,’ well, I’d love to see how that goes.”

“Republicans blocked President Joe Biden’s efforts for student loan debt forgiveness. And I would like to really hear what their plans are to help so many American students who have gone into so much debt to get educated. What is their plan to help them?”

“We tell people constantly: ‘go to school, get an education, you’ll get a good job’, but what are Republicans’ plans for those who have gone to school, but now are barely making enough to cover their loan payments?” queried Hernandez.

“We’re hearing that a recession is coming again. And I think that people around my age and people who have gone to school are really, really starting to get nervous and really want to know what, what are people going to do to help them? And those are two of the important issues that I believe is going to really change the minds of voters and the way that they’re going to see these folks who want to be elected officials,” she said.

All three panelists agreed that candidates need to reach out to LatinX voters consistently throughout the election cycle, not just two weeks before the polls open.

Ethnic Media Services

Losjóvenes latinos — que se prevé que serán un bloque electoral importante en las elecciones presidenciales de 2024 — se están alejando de sus familiares mayores y girándose hacia la izquierda en una serie de temas, incluido el control de armas, los derechos reproductivos, el cambio climático y la política de inmigración.

Un día antes del segundo debate presidencial republicano, el Centro Brennan para la Justicia organizó un panel de discusión el 26 de septiembre, centrado en el creciente poder de la juventud latinX. El panel contó con María Teresa Kumar, directora ejecutiva de Voto Latino; Santiago Mayer, director ejecutivo de Voters of Tomorrow, que fundó a los 17 años; y la representante del estado de Arizona, Alma Hernández, quien ha estado involucrada en la política demócrata desde que tenía catorce años. El panel fue moderado por Paola Ramos, corresponsal de Vice y colaboradora de Telemundo y MSNBC.

Los latinos son ahora el segundo bloque electoral más grande en Estados Unidos después de los votantes blancos no hispanos. Los latinos también son el electorado de más rápido crecimiento y el más joven. En 2022, 34,5 millones de latinos tenían derecho a votar, según un estudio del Pew Research Center, casi 5 millones más que en 2018. Se estima que el 70% de los latinos que votan son demócratas registrados. Sin embargo, la participación de los candidatos con la comunidad es mínima.

'Los buenos viejos tiempos de Newt Gingrich' Los panelistas señalaron que las narrativas sobre el giro del voto latino hacia la derecha para apoyar al expresidente Donald Trump se basan en una profunda campaña de desinformación, perpetuada tanto en las redes sociales como en los principales medios de comunicación.

Kumar dijo que los candidatos tendrían que adoptar una postura sobre la inmigración, volviendo a las raíces de su partido. “Hubo un momento en que el Partido Republicano estaba compitiendo por el voto latino. Y no hace mucho, en 2012, cuando Newt Gingrich — ex presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, estaba en ese escenario — hablaba de vías compasivas hacia la ciudadanía para personas que habían estado en este país durante al menos 10 o 20 años”.

“Pero los candidatos republicanos de hoy han fracasado miserablemente porque, en cambio, han politizado a los trabajadores, personas que quieren contribuir, que son estadounidenses: todo menos un número de seguridad social. Y como resultado, nos hemos polarizado como país de maneras que nunca creímos posibles”.

“Entonces, lo que yo buscaría de las personas que pasan a esa etapa es algo de liderazgo, madurez y hablar con franqueza. Porque es muy fácil demonizar

a los más vulnerables y marginados. Pero al final del día, ninguna de esas personas que lo hacen tiene un camino hacia la Casa Blanca, simple y sencillamente”, dijo Kumar.

El chico de fraternidad demográfico “Nuestro trabajo como latinos es asegurarnos de que prestamos atención y responsabilizamos a las personas porque, al final del día, queremos las mismas protecciones que todos los estadounidenses tienen, incluso para nuestras familias”, agregó. “La persona que realmente quiera tener una oportunidad de llegar a la Casa Blanca mañana por la noche tendrá que poder divorciarse de las políticas peligrosas que están perjudicando a las personas en las comunidades latinas”. Mayer analizó los resultados de una reciente encuesta de Votantes del Mañana. “Los jóvenes se preocupan por la economía y el empleo. Este es el número uno, lo cual es impactante para mucha gente, pero en realidad es algo que sentimos en nuestra vida cotidiana”, dijo. “Número dos, el derecho al aborto y el acceso a la atención reproductiva. Incluso algunos de los grupos que realmente no pensarías que se preocupan por el aborto, como el grupo demográfico de chicos de fraternidad, por ejemplo, están muy preocupados por este tema”, dijo Mayer.

“Nos preocupamos por la violencia armada. Hemos crecido con la amenaza del miedo en nuestras propias aulas. Hemos visto el clima deteriorarse y estamos muy preocupados por la crisis climática”, dijo, y agregó que los jóvenes latinos también están preocupados por los derechos LGBTQ incluso si no son parte de la comunidad queer.

'Mundos explotando'

“La conclusión es que los jóvenes, especialmente los jóvenes latinos, simplemente quieren tener una vida normal. No queremos estar en modo de crisis las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, con alertas de noticias de última hora cada dos horas. Sólo queremos poder sentarnos y tener una conversación normal sin que algo en el mundo explote y tengamos que lidiar con ello”, dijo Mayer.

“Los candidatos deben apoyarse en eso, especialmente los candidatos republicanos que en muchos sentidos siguen negando la realidad, especialmente en lo que respecta al clima y la violencia armada”, añadió.

Hernández, la representante más joven en la Legislatura del estado de Arizona, dijo que le gustaría que los candidatos abordaran de manera integral los derechos reproductivos.

Otro día más viejo y más endeudado

“La salud de las mujeres volverá a estar en las urnas. Y creo que es realmente fundamental que estos candidatos nos digan cuál es su posición sobre este tema. Si creen que van a ganar diciendo: ‘vamos a seguir atacando a las mujeres y sus derechos reproductivos’, bueno, me encantaría ver cómo va eso”.

“Los republicanos bloquearon los esfuerzos del presidente Joe Biden para lograr la condonación de la deuda de préstamos estudiantiles. Y realmente me gustaría escuchar cuáles son sus planes para ayudar a tantos estudiantes estadounidenses que se han endeudado tanto para obtener una educación. ¿Cuál es su plan para ayudarlos?

“Le decimos a la gente constantemente: 've a la escuela, obtén una educación, conseguirás un buen trabajo', pero ¿cuáles son los planes de los republicanos para aquellos que han ido a la escuela, pero ahora apenas ganan lo suficiente para cubrir los pagos de sus préstamos? " -preguntó Hernández.

“Estamos escuchando que se acerca una nueva recesión. Y creo que la gente de mi edad y la gente que ha ido a la escuela están empezando a ponerse realmente nerviosas y realmente quieren saber qué van a hacer las personas para ayudarlos. Y esos son dos de los temas importantes que creo que realmente van a cambiar la mentalidad de los votantes y la forma en que verán a estas personas que quieren ser funcionarios electos”, dijo.

Los tres panelistas coincidieron en que los candidatos deben llegar a los votantes latinx de manera constante durante todo el ciclo electoral, no solo dos semanas antes de que se abran las urnas.
