Daylight Savings

Time to Spring Forward March 12

Many people in North America and the United Kingdom (UK) use the term “spring forward” and “fall back” when they refer to the Daylight Saving Time (DST). This is mainly due to the fact that DST occurs in the spring season and ends in the fall (or autumn) season in the northern hemisphere, where the United States (USA) is located. The term “to spring forward” refers to when people set the clocks one hour forward, marking the start of DST. It is a term that is easy to remember for many people. This is because the DST start date coincides with the spring season. It is the time of the year when the days begin to have longer hours of sunlight after the winter’s end, in addition DST, which brings forth an extra hour of daylight in the afternoons or evenings.

This year daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday of March, March 12, 2023 and begins at 2 a.m. So don't forget to spring forward and change your clocks.

““People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true, “but I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength.” From Selena to Sylvia Rivera, Latinas have shown their strength, fortitude and skill in every discipline and field, including science, the arts, law, and politics."

Cover By Christy Martinez-Garcia

This month's cover may seem repetitive as the text is from one of my previous Word from the Publisher reflecting on March as Women's History Month – commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. To often Latinas are left out of history. As such, I include the impact several local women made on me, and how I try my best to pay it forward.

No doubt history is based on perspective. Fortunately for me, I was always surrounded by women of all backgrounds who invested in me and always made me feel valued and significant in my world. Again, to all the women in our communityTHANK YOU for your contributions. Your lives, actions, and bravery inspire us!
