Menendez Bill to Build National American Latino Museum Takes Big Step Forward Rules Committee unanimous approval marks first major Senate action since Menendez first introduced legislation nearly a decade agoMenendez work to build museum began in 2003 while member of the House of RepresentativesWASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Bob Menendez’s bipartisan National Museum of the American Latino Act took a major step forward today, quickly advancing out of the Senate Rules Committee with unanimous support. The approval follows testimony last week from Menendez, the highest-ranked Latino in Congress, urging the committee to authorize the Smithsonian Institution to create the museum, located on the National Mall, honoring the contributions and sacrifices of American Latinos. The legislation was approved by the House of Representatives in July.“As a proud Cuban American and the lead Senate sponsor of this legislation, I’m so thankful to see us finally take this big step forward toward the creation of a national museum that honors the countless political, cultural and economic contributions of the Latino community,” said Sen. Menendez. “Slowly, tirelessly, but surely, we are bringing to fruition a long overdue project to honor and document the influence American Latinos have had in weaving the cultural and historical fabric of American life throughout our nation's history.”“Now is the time for this Congress to finish what was started almost two decades ago,” he added. “Let us ensure that soon, a Museum of the American Latino will stand on our National Mall and officially acknowledge that the success of this country could not have been accomplished without the achievements of Hispanic Americans.”The National Museum of the American Latino Act was introduced in May 2019 in both Houses by Sens.

Menendez and John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Reps. Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.) and Will Hurd (R-Texas).

The museum would educate current and future generations on the vast political, social, cultural and economic contributions to American life by Latino Americans.Specifically, the National Museum of the American Latino Act would:

PRESSRELEASE Board of Trustees: Creates a 19-member Board of Trustees to help plan and design the construction of the Museum, and; develop the Museum’s collections in order to showcase the life, art, history and culture of American Latinos and their contributions to the United States.

Educational Grants and Scholarships: Authorizes the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services in to establish grants and educational programs for children and adults to learn about Latino life, art, history and culture.

Site Designation: Allows the Board of Trustees to explore several sites for either the new construction or development of the Museum.

In addition to Sen. Menendez, the bill is cosponsored by Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Michael Bennet (DColo.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Amy Klobuchar (DMinn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Richard Durbin (DIll.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Gary Peters (DMich.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Brian Schatz (DHawaii), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), and Jon Tester (D-Mont.). In 2008, with Presidential and Congressional leadership, a 23-member Commission was established to study the viability of a museum. Sen. Menendez and Majority Leady Harry Reid first introduced Senate legislation to establish a Latino museum in 2011 following the Commission’s report that determined the museum’s creation was indeed feasible. Sen. Menendez introduced similar legislation again in 2013, 2016, and 2017 before the current bill was introduced last year. As a member of the House of Represenatives, Sen. Menendez cosponsored the original bill to create a Commission to Establish the National Museum of the American Latino, introduced in 2003.

¿Cómo donar desde el extranjero para los damnificados por los huracanes Iota y Eta en Nicaragua?

Nicaragua ha sido impactada por dos poderosos huracanes en menos de 15 días. El 3 de noviembre el Huracán Eta de categoría 4 impactó por la Costa Caribe Norte, donde dejó severos daños; las lluvias y los fuertes vientos de este ciclón también dejaron afectaciones en las zonas norte y central del país. Apenas 13 días después, el Huracán Iota de categoría 5, el más potente registrado este año en el Atlántico, tocó tierra nicaragüense con “lluvias torrenciales y vientos catastróficos”, según reporte del Centro Nacional de Huracanes de Estados Unidos.

PRESSRELEASE Proyecto de ley de Menéndez para construir el Museo Nacional del Latino Americano da un gran paso hacia adelante La aprobación en el Comite de Reglas y Adminsitración marca la primera acción sustantiva del Senado en casi una decada desde que Menéndez presentó por primera vez la legislación con Reid, el ex-líder demócrata del SenadoEl trabajo de Menéndez para construir el museo comenzó en el 2003 cuando aún era miembro de la Cámara de RepresentantesWASHINGTON, D.C. - El proyecto de ley bipartidista del Museo Nacional del Latino Americano del Senador Bob Menéndez (D-N.J.) hoy dio un gran paso hacia adelante. La legislación fue aprobada unanimamente por el Comité de Reglas y Administración en el Senado. La aprobación viene después del testimonio de la semana pasada de Menéndez, el latino de más alto rango en ambas Cámaras del Congreso, quien le urgió al comité que autorizara a la Institución Smithsonian a crear el museo, que estuviera ubicado en el parque nacional, en honor a las contribuciones y sacrificios de los latinos estadounidenses.“Como orgulloso cubanoamericano y el principal patrocinador en el Senado de este proyecto, estoy increiblemente agradecido de vernos finalmente dar este gran paso hacia la creación de un museo nacional que honrará las innumerables contribuciones políticas, culturales y económicas de nuestra comunidad latina", dijo el Senador Menéndez. “Lentamente, incansablemente, pero con seguridad, estamos haciendo realidad un proyecto largamente retrasado para honrar y documentar la influencia que los latinos estadounidenses han tenido en tejer el tejido cultural e histórico de la vida estadounidense a lo largo de la historia de nuestra gran nación.”“Ahora es el momento de que este Congreso termine lo que se inició hace casi dos décadas,” agregó el Senador. "Asegurémonos de que pronto un Museo Nacional del Latino Americano estará en nuestro parque nacional y reconozcamos oficialmente que el éxito de este país no podría haberse logrado sin los logros de los latinos estadounidenses."El proyecto de ley del Museo Nacional del Latino Americano fue presentado en mayo de 2019 en ambas Cámaras por los senadores Menendez y John Cornyn (R- Texas) y los Representantes Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.) y Will Hurd (R-Texas). El museo educaría a las generaciones actuales y futuras sobre las vastas contribuciones políticas, sociales, culturales y económicas a la vida estadounidense de los latinoamericanos.Especificamente, el proyecto de ley del Museo Nacional del Latino Americano lograría lo siguiente:

PRESSRELEASE Junta Directiva: crearía una junta directiva con 19 miembros para ayudar a planificar y diseñar la construcción del museo. Además, desarrollaría las colecciones del museo para poder celebrar la vida, el arte, la historia y cultura de los latinoamericanos y sus contribuciones a los Estados Unidos.

Becas y subsidios educacionales: autoriza al director del instituto de servicios de museos y bibliotecas a establecer subsidios y programas educacionales para que los niños y los adultos puedan aprender sobre la vida, el arte, la historia y cultura Latina.

Designación del sitio: le permite a la junta directiva explorar varios sitios para la nueva construcción o el desarrollo del museo.

Este proyecto de ley en el Senado tiene 46 copatrocinadores: Menendez, Cornyn, Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Michael Bennet (DColo.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Amy Klobuchar (DMinn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Richard Durbin (DIll.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Gary Peters (DMich.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Brian Schatz (DHawaii), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) y Jon Tester (D-Mont.).En el 2008, con liderazgo presidencial y del Congreso, se estableció una comisión de 23 miembros para estudiar la viabilidad de un museo. El Senador Menéndez introdujo por primera vez legislación en el Senado para establecer un museo latino en el 2011 después que la comision determinó que un museo si era posible. El Senador Menéndez de nuevo introdujo proyectos de ley similares en el 2013, 2016 y el 2017 antes que la actual legislación fue introducida el año pasado. Cuando todavía era miembro de la Cámara de Representantes, el Senador Menéndez copatrocinó el proyecto de ley original para crear la comisión de estudio que fue introducido en el 2003.
