million people of all nationalities are currently on waiting lists to legally immigrate to the United States for family reasons, according to a list updated in November by the State Department.

L

a paciencia es uno de los mayores atributos para quien ha tenido que realizar trámites para emigrar legalmente a los Estados Unidos.

Sin embargo, un nuevo análisis realizado por el Instituto de política migratoria (MPI) sugiere que para muchas personas no alcanza ni siquiera toda la vida para completar su sueño de emigrar legalmente a los Estados Unidos. ¿De qué estamos hablando? Alrededor de 3.9 millones de personas de todas las nacionalidades se encuentran en este momento en las listas de espera para emigrar legalmente en los Estados Unidos por razones familiares, de acuerdo con una lista actualizada de noviembre por el Departamento de Estado.

México encabeza la lista con más de 1.2 millones de personas, seguido por Filipinas con 318,000, india con 309,000, China con 247,000, Vietnam con 207,000, de República Dominicana con 212,000, Bangladesh con 178,000, Pakistán con 121,000, Haití con 104,000 y Cuba con 78,000 personas.

En otras palabras, se requiere hacer un cambio sensible al sistema de selección de visas bajo patrocinio familiar o de lo contrario, la promesa de abrir avenidas legales para emigrar a los Estados Unidos va a continuar siendo para muchos un simbolismo más que una realidad que los puede empujar a buscar otras vías para el sueño de la reunificación familiar.

P

atience is one of the greatest attributes for those who have had to carry out procedures to legally immigrate to the United States.

However, a new analysis by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) suggests that for many people it would take more than a lifetime to complete their dream of legally immigrating to the United States.

What are we talking about? About 3.9

Pero los trámites para estas casi 4 millones de personas avanzan a cuentagotas. Para el año fiscal 2021, que inició el 1 de octubre pasado y termina el próximo 30 de septiembre, el límite por país será de 34,160 personas.

But the procedures for these almost 4 million people are progressing slowly.

For fiscal year 2021, which began on October 1 and ends on September 30, the limit per country will be 34,160 people.

All of the above means that, under certain visa categories, for US citizens who want to sponsor a married adult child from Mexico, the wait is around 157 years. For people who want to emigrate from the Philippines, the wait is a little shorter, only 67 years.

The Trump administration has worked hard over the past four years to transform America's immigration system to give family reunification a lower priority and prioritize the arrival of highly educated immigrants. Although the Biden administration has a more humanitarian approach, the rules of legal migration remain the same.

Todo lo anterior significa que, bajo ciertas categorías de visa, los ciudadanos estadounidenses que desean patrocinar a un hijo adulto casado procedente de México, la espera es de alrededor de 157 años. Para las personas que desean emigrar de las Filipinas, la espera es un poco menor, de sólo 67 años.

The MPI is correct when it suggests that legal migration to the United States through family sponsorship should remain a higher priority of the United States selection system, since it supports the stability of communities and families, and safeguards the fundamental value of the family unit.

La administración Trump se esmeró durante los pasados cuatro años en transformar el sistema migratorio de Estados Unidos para dar una menor prioridad a la reunificación familiar y darle prioridad a la llegada de inmigrantes altamente educados. Aunque la administración Biden tiene un enfoque más humanitario, las reglas de migración legal se mantienen iguales.

Fortunately, the numerical ceiling for family sponsored migration does not apply to US citizens who wish to bring their children under the age of 21 or their parents. But that benefit must be applied on a fixed basis to the relatives of legal permanent residents with no annual fees.

Tiene razón el MPI cuando sugiere que la migración legal a Estados Unidos por patrocinio familiar debe permanecer como una prioridad mayor del sistema de selección de Estados Unidos, toda vez que apoya la estabilidad de las comunidades y de las familias, y salvaguarda el valor fundamental de la unidad familiar.

Por fortuna el techo numérico para la migración bajo patrocinio familiar no aplica a los ciudadanos estadounidenses que desean traer a sus hijos menores de 21 años o a sus padres.

Pero ese beneficio debe aplicarse de manera fija a los familiares de residen-

Mexico tops the list with more than 1.2 million people, followed by the Philippines with 318,000, India with 309,000, China with 247,000, Vietnam with 207,000, the Dominican Republic with 212,000, Bangladesh with 178,000, Pakistan with 121,000, Haiti with 104,000 and Cuba with 78,000 people.

In other words, it is necessary to make a sensible change to the system of selection of visas under family sponsorship, otherwise, the promise of opening legal avenues to emigrate to the United States will continue to be for many symbolic rather than a reality, which in turn could people push to seek other avenues for the dream of family reunification.

Por eso ella aconseja a las personas que no se lo guarden para sí mismos y que hablen con un profesional de salud.

EATTLE -- May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as life returns to normal, many people are coming down from more than a year of anxiety.

A Census Bureau survey found symptoms of anxiety or depression had increased among adults from 11% in 2019 to 41% in 2021.

Dr. Mabel Bongmba, adult psychiatrist at Kaiser Permanente in the Greater Seattle area, said a return to pre-pandemic life also brings new stressors, such as returning to the office or school.

She cautioned people should have measured expectations.

"Know that other folks are in the same boat," Bongmba urged. "A lot of us are feeling some stress and anxiety with the prospect of yet more changes, and feeling a little stress around change is a pretty normal thing under any circumstance, pandemic or no pandemic."

Bongmba pointed out behavioral health and mindfulness apps such as Calm and myStrength can help people with self-care if they're feeling anxious.

She advised people not to keep it to themselves and speak up to a health professional.

the pandemic has taught us to be patient with other people's journeys, adding if some aren't yet comfortable shedding their masks even though others are, that's OK.

"So many of us are, for the first time, connecting with therapists and other mental-health specialists during this time," Bongmba observed. "And if you're having really difficult feelings or feeling overwhelmed by life, you don't have to go through that by yourself."

"I think we can respect each other for making the best decision possible for our individual situations," Bongmba advised.

"And that's something we should maintain for ourselves, in addition to having that expectation of others as well."

For many, getting back to life before the pandemic will take some easing in. Bongmba hopes

Gov. Jay Inslee has set June 30 as the target reopening date for Washington state.

EATTLE, Wash. - Mayo es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Salud Mental, y a medida que la vida vuelve a la normalidad, muchas personas están saliendo de más de un ano de ansiedad.

Una encuesta de la Oficina del Censo encontró que los síntomas de ansiedad o depresión han aumentado entre los adultos del 11 por ciento en 2019 al 41 por ciento en 2021.

La doctora Mabel Bongmba, psiquiatra de adultos de Kaiser Permanente en el área metropoli-

tana de Seattle, dice que el regreso a la vida prepandémica también trae nuevos factores estresantes, como regresar a la oficina o la escuela. Ella dice que la gente debería haber medido las expectativas.

"Que sepan que otras personas están en el mismo barco," dijo Bongmba. "Muchos de nosotros sentimos algo de estrés y ansiedad ante la perspectiva de más cambios, y sentir un poco de estrés frente al cambio es algo bastante normal en cualquier circunstancia, ya sea pandemia o no."

Bongmba dice que aplicaciones de salud conductual y atención plena tales como Calm y myStrength pueden ayudar a las personas con el

"Muchos de nosotros, por primera vez, nos estamos conectando con terapeutas y otros especialistas en salud mental en este tiempo, y si usted tiene sentimientos realmente difíciles o se siente abrumado por la vida, no tiene que pasar solo por esto," expreso Bongmba.

Para muchos, volver a lo que era la vida antes de la pandemia requerirá algo de alivio.

Bongmba espera que la pandemia nos haya ensenado a ser pacientes con los caminos de otras personas.

Entonces, si las personas aún no se sienten cómodas quitándose las mascarillas a pesar de que otros si lo están, está bien.

"Creo que podemos respetarnos mutuamente para tomar la mejor decisión posible para nuestras situaciones individuales, y eso es algo que debemos mantener, además de también tener esa expectativa de los demás," agrego Bongmba.

El gobernador Jay Inslee ha fijado el 30 de junio como fecha de reapertura para el estado de Washington.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Education advocates are cheering Gov. Gavin Newsom's May budget revision, which pours almost $122 billion into public schools, the highest level of funding in California's history.

The money will support the California for All Kids Plan, a five-year strategy of public school investment.

Jeff Freitas, president of the California Federation of Teachers, said low-income school districts in particular will see big improvements.

"The additional funding for summerschool programs, after-school programs, for making a universal earlychildhood education system, is the right direction that we need to be going," Freitas contended.

The Governor's plan promises to open pre-K classes to an additional 159,000 4-year-olds. It also would fund more school counselors, social workers and nurses, and would increase access to high-speed internet and laptops.

The funding is made possible by a $76 billion budget surplus in the Golden State.

Freitas noted the windfall comes from taxes on the ultra-wealthy who continued to prosper during the pandemic.

"The unexpected revenue came in because of factors like Prop 30 and Prop 55, the millionaires' tax that we passed a few years ago," Freitas explained.

The plan also puts more than $3 billion toward programs to attract more teachers. The legislature now has until June 15 to pass a budget for the next fiscal year.

Recognize the Benefits

El ciclismo es un ejercicio cardiovascular saludable para el corazón que fortalece el tren inferior del cuerpo, pero es de bajo impacto en las articulaciones, por lo que es un excelente ejercicio para adultos de todas las edades, así como para niños y familias. También es ideal para la mente, y hay estudios que han demostrado que mejora el estado de ánimo y optimiza la función cognitiva. Pero los beneficios van más allá de la persona. Andar en bicicleta como sustituto de conducir un coche es bueno para el planeta y para su comunidad local, reduciendo las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y los contaminantes atmosféricos, y mejorando la congestión del tráfico.

Bicycling is a heart-healthy cardiovascular exercise that strengthens your lower body, yet is low-impact on joints, making it a terrific workout for adults of all ages, as well as kids and families. It’s also great for the mind, and has been shown in studies to boost mood and improve cognitive function. But the benefits extend beyond the individual. Biking as a substitute for driving a car is good for the planet and your local community, cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants and improving traffic congestion.

Go Electric Electric bikes are great alternatives for all adult riders, no matter your level of experience. An ebike helps you get back on a bike if it’s been a while since your last ride, if you have physical limitations that make riding a standard bike difficult, or if you want to keep up on a ride with more experienced friends. The pedal-powered boost can also provide a less intense alternative to traditional biking, especially for those looking to commute without breaking a sweat.

Whether it’s to ease back into biking or you just want a cool bike, the e-bike offers the same joys as a conventional bike ride with a bit of a kick.

HERD IMMUNITY? ONLY TWO COUNTIES ARE EVEN CLOSE Ana B. Ibarra CalMatters

they hear us, but it doesn’t change, so I’ve given up,” Longo said.

ive months after COVID-19 vaccinations began, only two California counties are close to reaching “herd immunity” while most trail far behind with less than half of their eligible population vaccinated.

One reason for the low vaccination rate may be prison employees. A recent CalMatters report shows that in the vast majority of prisons, less than half of employees are fully vaccinated.

F

Lassen has a large Republican base — about three times more registered Republicans than Democrats. Former President Trump had overwhelming support in the election there. Longo, however, doesn’t think political views are having a significant influence on her county’s vaccination rate.

A CalMatters analysis of state vaccination data found that in nine counties, less than a third of residents ages 16 and over were fully vaccinated as of last week. In 45 of the state’s 58 counties, less than half were vaccinated.

Two remote Sierra Nevada counties — 180 miles apart along Highway 395 — illustrate California’s extremes: Lassen County is at the bottom with only 21% of residents 16 and older fully vaccinated, while Alpine has a rate more than three times higher, at 69%.

Alpine, California’s least populous county, is tied for the top with Marin, the state’s most affluent.

Some experts anticipate that the Bay Area will be the first region in the state to reach herd immunity, or as experts more commonly refer to it, “community immunity.” Of the 13 counties where at least half of eligible residents have been fully vaccinated, eight are in the Bay Area.

Of the 13 counties where at least half of eligible residents have been fully vaccinated, eight are in the Bay Area.

Public health officials have said anywhere from 70% to 85% of the total population — not just eligible people — needs to be fully vaccinated to beat COVID-19 or at least keep its transmission low enough.

Still, Longo thinks the most challenging part is yet to come — convincing parents to vaccinate their 12–15 year-olds. “We’ve already had parents yell at us,” she said.

Public health experts are uncertain why there are such big disparities between specific California counties because a mishmash of factors are at play. Reasons why people aren’t vaccinated include lack of internet access or mobility, political leanings, language barriers, distrust of vaccines and lack of time, among others.

The Bay Area has consistently responded quicker than most of the state throughout the pandemic. It was the first region to lock down in the entire country, for example.

But local health departments focus on eligible populations instead because vaccines have not been approved for children under 12. Many have goals of vaccinating 75% to 80% of eligible residents.

Swartzberg said there is a unique trust between local public health experts, elected officials and the community that stems from when the Bay Area was the epicenter of AIDS in the 1980s.

“The Bay Area struggled for a few years but public health and elected officials figured out how to work hand in glove with the community, and I think that’s had a halo effect extending to now,” he said.

Community or herd immunity is important to protect those who cannot get vaccinated and to return to normal activities with little or no restrictions, such as on June 15, when California lifts its indoor mask order for vaccinated people.

In counties with large agricultural communities, Swartzberg thinks people may be facing logistical barriers, like taking time off work. Also, vaccines, like face masks and much of the pandemic, have been politicized.

Dr. John Swartzberg, an infectious disease specialist at UC Berkeley, said the concept of herd immunity can’t really apply to counties or cities alone because they aren’t insulated from one another.

The Central Valley has a wide range of vaccination rates; Kings County is at 25% fully vaccinated and Fresno is closer to 40%, according to the state data.

“I think a better way to look at it is: as we approach this theoretical number, things will get better, even one percent of increase in vaccinations translates into thousands of fewer infections,” he said.

Just under 50% of Californians 16 and older have been fully vaccinated and another 15% have received one dose, according to state data. The numbers are promising, experts say, but progress can vary greatly by county. In many communities, demand for the vaccine has subsided so public health officials are trying to get creative to persuade remaining residents to get their shots.

Why such disparities among counties?

The data raises a lot of questions: Why are more people vaccinated in the Bay Area? Why does one remote, mountain-area county, Alpine, have three times more of its population vaccinated than another, Lassen? And why are some Central Valley counties lagging farther behind than others?

In Kern County, where 33% of people 16 and over are fully vaccinated, fear of side effects and lack of transportation continue to be significant barriers, said Michelle Corson, a spokesperson for the Kern County Public Health Department.

“Also, many members of our community that we talk to are interested in getting vaccinated, but they just don’t see it as something that needs to be done with urgency,” she said.

Kern went from receiving about 30,000 doses per week in March, to more recently needing under 10,000 as demand slows.

Big gap between Alpine and Lassen In counties with small populations, a few vaccinations can make a big difference in their rates.

Dr. Rick Johnson, Alpine County’s public health officer, said he thinks the key to his county’s success was in keeping vaccine registration simple and personal. With a population of just over 1,100 permanent residents, officials there opted for a call-in appointment system.

Johnson and his program manager answered the line and talked to people directly.

“We didn’t use a text system or the MyTurn system,” he said. “They called, and people knew who they were going to talk to.”

Alpine County, located between Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe near the border with Nevada, has been vaccinating all adults since Feb. 24, ahead of the state’s timeline. Also, compared to other rural counties, Alpine tends to vote more blue than its neighbors, which Johnson believes is benefitting their vaccination efforts.

About 43% of Alpine’s registered voters are Democrats. In the last election, almost twice as many people voted for Joe Biden than Donald Trump.

“There are typical attitudes that come with a political stance,” Johnson said. An anti-vaccine sentiment is not prominent in his county, he said.

Johnson said Alpine’s numbers are likely even better than the state data show: His county has a large Washoe tribe community served by clinics operated by the federal Indian Health Service. State numbers do not include vaccinations administered by the agency or by the Veterans Health Administration, Department of Defense and Federal Bureau of Prisons.

In Lassen County, which is a heavily forested area north of Tahoe, health officials have little confidence in the state’s numbers. While state data shows that 21% of residents 16 and older are fully immunized, Barbara Longo, the county’s health and social services director, said by the county’s estimates, it’s closer to 56%.

Longo said the discrepancy between state and county data is likely due to several factors that make Lassen, which has a population of about 27,500 and three prisons, unique. Her population numbers to calculate the vaccination rate don’t include state prison inmates because they don’t mingle with others, while state population numbers do.

Also, many community members have told Longo and her team that they received their vaccines in Nevada while shopping in Reno. A spokesperson for the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services said the agency does not share vaccination data with other states.

“We continue to explain our data to the state,

LA County predicts 80% vaccinated by July For the state to continue with its low case rate and hospitalizations, health experts say it’s important that all counties increase their vaccination rate, especially as the state’s June 15 reopening date approaches.

Shira Shafir, an epidemiology professor at UCLA, said community immunity is not a simple onand-off switch. There likely are pockets of low vaccination rates even in counties with high rates, and that means unvaccinated people are working or living near one another. Also, many people commute to another county because of high housing costs.

“We can’t just look at one county and say ‘Hey, this county got to 80%. But (the county next door) is at 60%.’ That means neither county is where it needs to be,” Shafir said.

“Really, what’s important is related to the probability that someone infected comes in contact with someone who is susceptible,” she said.

“We can’t just look at one county and say ‘Hey, this county got to 80%. But (county next door) is at 60%.’ That means neither county is where it needs to be.”

-SHIRA SHAFIR, EPIDEMIOLOGY PROFESSOR AT UCLA Health officials are hopeful that the next couple of weeks will see a bump in fully vaccinated residents because many weren’t eligible until April 15, when the state eliminated any remaining eligibility criteria for anyone 16 and older. Those people are now just getting a second dose. As of last week, Pfizer’s vaccine is also available for teens 12 to 15.

In the state’s most populous county, Los Angeles, about 45% of the eligible population was fully vaccinated as of last week. The county administers about 400,000 doses each week, so if these numbers hold, about 80% of Angelenos 16 and older could be vaccinated by the end of July, public health director Barbara Ferrer said.

State officials have not said what rate California must reach to attain immunity.

“The more who are eligible for a vaccine, the better chance we have to reach that critical number, whether it be 70% or 75%,” said Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s health secretary.

¿LA INMUNIDAD DE GRUPO? SOLO DOS CONDADOS ESTÁN SIQUIERA CERCA

C

Ana B. Ibarra CalMatters

los reclusos de las prisiones estatales porque no se mezclan con otros, mientras que los números de la población del estado sí.

inco meses después de que comenzaran las vacunas contra COVID-19, solo dos condados de California están cerca de alcanzar la “inmunidad colectiva”, mientras que la mayoría se queda atrás con menos de la mitad de su población elegible vacunada.

Además, muchos miembros de la comunidad le han dicho a Longo y su equipo que recibieron sus vacunas en Nevada mientras compraban en Reno.

Un portavoz del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Nevada dijo que la agencia no comparte datos de vacunación con otros estados.

Un análisis de CalMatters de los datos de vacunación estatales encontró que en nueve condados, menos de un tercio de los residentes de 16 años o más estaban completamente vacunados la semana pasada. En 45 de los 58 condados del estado, menos de la mitad fueron vacunados.

Dos condados remotos de Sierra Nevada, a 180 millas de distancia a lo largo de la autopista 395, ilustran los extremos de California: el condado de Lassen está en la parte inferior con solo el 21% de los residentes de 16 años o más completamente vacunados, mientras que Alpine tiene una tasa más de tres veces mayor, con un 69%.

Alpine, el condado menos poblado de California, está empatado en la cima con Marin, el más rico del estado.

Algunos expertos anticipan que el Área de la Bahía será la primera región del estado en alcanzar la inmunidad colectiva, o como los expertos lo llaman más comúnmente, “inmunidad comunitaria”. De los 13 condados donde al menos la mitad de los residentes elegibles han sido completamente vacunados, ocho están en el Área de la Bahía.

De los 13 condados donde al menos la mitad de los residentes elegibles han sido completamente vacunados, ocho están en el Área de la Bahía.

Los funcionarios de salud pública han dicho que entre el 70% y el 85% de la población total, no solo las personas elegibles, deben estar completamente vacunados para vencer al COVID-19 o al menos mantener su transmisión lo suficientemente baja.

Pero los departamentos de salud locales se enfocan en las poblaciones elegibles porque las vacunas no han sido aprobadas para niños menores de 12 años. Muchos tienen el objetivo de vacunar entre el 75% y el 80% de los residentes elegibles.

La inmunidad comunitaria o de grupo es importante para proteger a quienes no pueden vacunarse y para volver a sus actividades normales con pocas o ninguna restricción, como el 15 de junio, cuando California levanta su orden de mascarillas para interiores para personas vacunadas.

El Dr. John Swartzberg, especialista en enfermedades infecciosas de la UC Berkeley, dijo que el concepto de inmunidad colectiva no puede aplicarse realmente a los condados o ciudades por sí solos porque no están aislados unos de otros.

“Creo que una mejor manera de verlo es: a medida que nos acerquemos a este número teórico, las cosas mejorarán, incluso el uno por ciento del aumento de las vacunas se traduce en miles de infecciones menos”, dijo.

Poco menos del 50% de los californianos de 16 años o más se han vacunado por completo y otro 15% ha recibido una dosis, según datos estatales.

Los números son prometedores, dicen los expertos, pero el progreso puede variar mucho según el condado. En muchas comunidades, la demanda de la vacuna ha disminuido, por lo que los funcionarios de salud pública están tratando de ser creativos para persuadir a los residentes restantes de que se vacunen. ¿Por qué tales disparidades entre los condados?

Los datos plantean muchas preguntas: ¿Por qué se vacuna a más personas en el Área de la Bahía? ¿Por qué un condado remoto de una zona montañosa, Alpine, tiene tres veces más de su población

“Continuamos explicando nuestros datos al estado, ellos nos escuchan, pero no cambia, así que me he rendido”, dijo Longo.

Una de las razones de la baja tasa de vacunación puede ser la de los empleados penitenciarios. Un informe reciente de CalMatters muestra que en la gran mayoría de las prisiones, menos de la mitad de los empleados están completamente vacunados.

En el condado de Los Ángeles, aproximadamente el 45% de la población elegible, o un poco más de un tercio de toda la población del condado, estaba completamente vacunada la semana pasada. Photo Credit: Bettina Nørgaard / Pixabay vacunada que otro, Lassen? ¿Y por qué algunos condados del Valle Central están más rezagados que otros?

Los expertos en salud pública no están seguros de por qué existen disparidades tan grandes entre condados específicos de California debido a una mezcolanza de factores en juego. Las razones por las que las personas no están vacunadas incluyen la falta de acceso a Internet o movilidad, inclinaciones políticas, barreras del idioma, desconfianza en las vacunas y falta de tiempo, entre otras.

El Área de la Bahía ha respondido consistentemente más rápido que la mayoría del estado durante la pandemia. Fue la primera región en cerrarse en todo el país, por ejemplo.

Swartzberg dijo que existe una confianza única entre los expertos locales en salud pública, los funcionarios electos y la comunidad que surge de cuando el Área de la Bahía fue el epicentro del SIDA en la década de 1980. “El Área de la Bahía luchó durante algunos años, pero la salud pública y los funcionarios electos descubrieron cómo trabajar mano a mano con la comunidad, y creo que eso ha tenido un efecto de halo que se extiende hasta ahora”, dijo.

En los condados con grandes comunidades agrícolas, Swartzberg cree que la gente puede estar enfrentando barreras logísticas, como tomarse un tiempo libre en el trabajo. Además, las vacunas, como las mascarillas y gran parte de la pandemia, se han politizado.

El Valle Central tiene una amplia gama de tasas de vacunación; Los condados de Kings y Madera tienen solo un 25% de vacunas completas y Fresno está más cerca del 40%, según los datos estatales.

En el condado de Kern, donde el 33% de las personas mayores de 16 años están completamente vacunados, el miedo a los efectos secundarios y la falta de transporte continúan siendo barreras importantes, dijo Michelle Corson, portavoz del Departamento de Salud Pública del condado de Kern.

“Además, muchos miembros de nuestra comunidad con los que hablamos están interesados en vacunarse, pero simplemente no lo ven como algo que deba hacerse con urgencia”, dijo.

Kern pasó de recibir alrededor de 30,000 dosis por semana en marzo, a necesitar más recientemente menos de 10,000 a medida que la demanda se desacelera.

Gran brecha entre Alpine y Lassen En los condados con poblaciones pequeñas, unas pocas vacunas pueden marcar una gran diferencia en sus tasas.

El Dr. Rick Johnson, funcionario de salud pública

del condado de Alpine, dijo que cree que la clave del éxito de su condado fue mantener el registro de vacunas simple y personal. Con una población de poco más de 1.100 residentes permanentes, los funcionarios optaron por un sistema de citas por teléfono.

Johnson y su gerente de programa respondieron a la línea y hablaron directamente con la gente.

“No usamos un sistema de texto o el sistema MyTurn”, dijo. “Llamaron y la gente sabía con quién iban a hablar”.

El condado de Alpine, ubicado entre el Parque Nacional de Yosemite y el lago Tahoe, cerca de la frontera con Nevada, ha estado vacunando a todos los adultos desde el 24 de febrero, antes de la línea de tiempo del estado. Además, en comparación con otros condados rurales, Alpine tiende a votar más azul que sus vecinos, lo que Johnson cree que está beneficiando sus esfuerzos de vacunación.

Aproximadamente el 43% de los votantes registrados de Alpine son demócratas. En las últimas elecciones, casi el doble de personas votaron por Joe Biden que por Donald Trump.

“Hay actitudes típicas que vienen con una postura política”, dijo Johnson. Un sentimiento anti-vacunas no es prominente en su condado, dijo.

Johnson dijo que las cifras de Alpine son probablemente incluso mejores de lo que muestran los datos estatales: su condado tiene una gran comunidad de la tribu Washoe atendida por clínicas administradas por el Servicio de Salud Indígena federal. Los números estatales no incluyen las vacunas administradas por la agencia o por la Administración de Salud de Veteranos, el Departamento de Defensa y la Oficina Federal de Prisiones.

“Hay actitudes típicas que vienen con una postura política”.

-DR. RICK JOHNSON, OFICIAL DE SALUD PÚBLICA DEL CONDADO DE ALPINE

En el condado de Lassen, que es un área densamente boscosa al norte de Tahoe, los funcionarios de salud tienen poca confianza en las cifras del estado.

Si bien los datos estatales muestran que el 21% de los residentes de 16 años o más están completamente inmunizados, Barbara Longo, directora de servicios sociales y de salud del condado, dijo que según las estimaciones del condado, está más cerca del 56%.

Longo dijo que la discrepancia entre los datos estatales y del condado probablemente se deba a varios factores que hacen que Lassen, que tiene una población de aproximadamente 27.500 y tres prisiones, sea único. Sus números de población para calcular la tasa de vacunación no incluyen a

Aún así, Longo cree que la parte más desafiante aún está por llegar: convencer a los padres de que vacunen a sus hijos de 12 a 15 años. “Ya hemos tenido padres que nos gritan”, dijo.

El condado de Los Ángeles predice 80% vacunados para julio Para que el estado continúe con su baja tasa de casos y hospitalizaciones, los expertos en salud dicen que es importante que todos los condados aumenten su tasa de vacunación, especialmente a medida que se acerca la fecha de reapertura del estado del 15 de junio.

Shira Shafir, profesora de epidemiología en UCLA, dijo que la inmunidad comunitaria no es un simple interruptor de encendido y apagado. Es probable que haya focos de tasas de vacunación bajas incluso en condados con tasas altas, y eso significa que las personas no vacunadas están trabajando o viviendo cerca unas de otras. Además, muchas personas se trasladan a otro condado debido a los altos costos de vivienda.

“No podemos simplemente mirar a un condado y decir ‘Oye, este condado llegó al 80%. Pero (el condado de al lado) está al 60% ‘. Eso significa que ninguno de los dos condados está donde debe estar”, dijo Shafir.

“Realmente, lo que es importante está relacionado con la probabilidad de que alguien infectado entre en contacto con alguien que es susceptible”, dijo.

Los funcionarios de salud tienen la esperanza de que las próximas semanas vean un aumento en los residentes completamente vacunados porque muchos no fueron elegibles hasta el 15 de abril, cuando el estado eliminó los criterios de elegibilidad restantes para cualquier persona de 16 años o más.

Esas personas ahora están recibiendo una segunda dosis. Desde la semana pasada, la vacuna de Pfizer también está disponible para adolescentes de 12 a 15 años .

En el condado más poblado del estado, Los Ángeles, aproximadamente el 45% de la población elegible estaba completamente vacunada hasta la semana pasada. El condado administra alrededor de 400,000 dosis cada semana, por lo que si estos números se mantienen, alrededor del 80% de los angelinos de 16 años o más podrían vacunarse a fines de julio , dijo la directora de salud pública Barbara Ferrer.

Los funcionarios estatales no han dicho qué tasa debe alcanzar California para obtener inmunidad.

“Cuantos más sean elegibles para una vacuna, más posibilidades tenemos de alcanzar ese número crítico, ya sea del 70% o del 75%”, dijo el Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretario de salud del estado.

Q&A: SOCIAL UNREST, WEDDINGS, AND THE “DANCE” OF FILMING WITH NAIAN GONZÁLEZ NORVIND The Mexican Actress Gives Us Insight into her new Dystopian Thriller “New Order”

R

Arturo Hilario El Observador

What would you say was a takeaway for you personally or a lesson from working on this film now that it's out and in the world?

ecently I spoke with actress Naian González Norvind about her role in the thrilling and controversial Mexican film by Michel Franco, “New Order” (“Nuevo Orden” in Mexico).

[There’s] So many, from actually doing it and learning how to work with a new and different director, every experience, every movie or series or play is an opportunity to connect in a different way with other people, with other actors or your director to understand someone else's point of view, including the characters.

The film won one of the top prizes, the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize, at its premiere at the 77th Venice Film Festival in 2020 and continues to spark conversation with its themes of social and wealth inequality, discrimination, and corruption.

The drama/thriller stars González Norvind as Marianne, who we find consumed by her busy wedding day festivities taking place at her home in an upper-class region of Mexico City. With only the drama and stakes involved with a typical wedding day at first, we steadily start to see what unrest is brewing beyond the secure high walls of the Mexican elite, where we are led into an increasingly chaotic story of how Marianne and others around her deal with a law-and-order breakdown, corruption, and violent social upheaval.

The following is a conversation about “New Order” with González Norvind, her experiences working on this dystopian film, and its lasting impact on her.

Hello Naian, thanks for the time. To start off I wanted to ask if you could set the stage for the beginning of the film and what your character Marianne is up to?

In the beginning of the film, when it starts, Marianne is enjoying her wedding day and she's about to get married in her family home. The problem then comes up when - the issue is that you can tell that there's been some social unrest that then explodes the day of this wedding.

And it kind of just blows apart the lives of four or five characters that intertwine in various ways. Including Marianne's.

And what was it that attracted you to the script and the story in the messaging of the film?

I think very naturally, what first attracted me was the urgency and the relevance of the subjects that that this film was putting on the table, you know, and how it was criticizing society, the way in which we have structured society - that leave so few with so much; with so many resources and so many with so few resources, and that social inequality is something that I thought was really important to talk about, that social unrest, that discontent.

Also, how much we participate on an individual level in those labyrinths of corruption and of impunity that we criticize

but that we don't do anything about.

So that was the first thing. Then also working with Michel and the challenge of playing such a hard part or the character that goes through so much.

Now, what was the process like for you to bring the character of Marianne to life? And did you get an inspiration from anywhere?

Could you expand a little bit on what it was like working on set with Michel and working on something like “New Order”?

And then the San Sebastian Film Festival, Toronto, the controversy, and the conversation that it engendered in Mexico, which is what Michel wanted in the first place.

Well, as you know, the first part of the of the film is in the family's home and it's the wedding scene and everything. And it was like dancing with the camera. It was long shots where you go from this character to this next one, etc. So, you felt

I think it's a film that does not leave you indifferent and it definitely doesn't leave me indifferent after I watched it. It was funny how big of an impression it made on me, despite having made it right, despite having participated in it and knowing what was going to happen, I was still very shaken by what I saw.

I hope that people are so shaken as I was after seeing the film that they question what part they play into the status quo.

Yeah, Michel actually wrote the part for me. He named her Marianne because it rhymed with Naian. And so, there's a lot of common elements between Marianne and I, mainly, I think our temperament and our desire to help others. From what he told me; I'm not going to be that self- flattering! But then also what happened was he gave me a few film references that he was inspired in himself to do this film.

Films by Buñuel like "Viridiana" and films

by Pasolini, "Melancholia" by Lars von Trier, another film where marriage, you know, a wedding day goes haywire. And I did research on my own and I read some testimonies about abuse, about women who have found themselves or people who have found themselves in situations as dire as what Marianne goes through, just to have like a real-life reference for myself to empathize with.

And so that I take with me first and foremost and then also the beautiful experience that has been just everything that's happened after the film was finished and going to the Venice Film Festival and seeing how the film was received there and how it did so well.

like you were part of a bigger machinery.

You're like a little screw in a little machine, in a bigger machinery, and everything had to coincide and be synchronized perfectly so that the shot would work.

So, it was really demanding in that way, and you had to be hyper focused, which is what Michel was always asking of us.

And I really enjoy that kind of challenge where you have to hit your mark perfectly, your eyes turn to the right at that exact moment when you see that person, you move when they move, et cetera. So, it does it feels like an orchestration of some sort. And that was really fun to do.

And then the language of the film changes visually and everything starts going down the drain. And that challenge was different. It was more of an emotional situational challenge, more than a kind of craftsman challenge, you know.

Keeping in mind the ideas of wealth inequality, social unrest, and even color divisions, what do you hope that audiences take away from the film?

That violence begets violence, that to understand that and that truly, if we want to make a change collectively, we have to make a change in ourselves. I hope that people are so shaken as I was after seeing the film that they question, you know, what part they play into the status quo, right? Into these same paradigms that we live by. And how much of society is structured [benefitting] a few and is to the detriment of so many.

And I think that, you know, the film forces you to you have to question your own privilege and the way you treat people.

And that's also why I wanted to do it in the first place.

Thank you so much, Naian, I was wondering if there is anything else you'd like to add?

No, only that I'm super excited that it's coming out in the US on Friday. And I hope to see all of people's reactions and opinions. I think that's what cinema can do for the world, like not purely serve us only as entertainment, but to really make us think about ourselves.

Q&A: MALESTAR SOCIAL, BODAS Y LA “DANZA” DE FILMAR CON NAIAN GONZÁLEZ NORVIND La Actriz Mexicana nos da una Idea de su Nuevo Thriller Distópico “New Order”

R

Arturo Hilario El Observador

aliza en la casa de la familia y es la escena de la boda y todo eso. Y fue como bailar con la cámara. Fueron tomas largas en las que pasas de este personaje al próximo, etc. Así que, te sentías como si formaras parte de un mecanismo más grande. Eres como un pequeño tornillo en una maquina pequeña, en una maquinaria más grande, y todo tenía que coincidir y estar sincronizado de manera perfecta para que la toma pudiera funcionar.

ecientemente hablé con la actriz Naian González Norvind acerca de su rol en la emocionante y controversial película Mexicana de Michel Franco, “New Order” (“Nuevo Orden” en México).

La película ganó uno de los premios más prestigiosos, el Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize, en su premiere en el 77o Festival de Cine de Venecia el 2020 y continúa encendiendo conversaciones con sus temas de inequidad social y de riqueza, discriminación y corrupción.

En el drama/suspenso aparece González Norvind como Marianne, a quien encontramos abrumada por las festividades de su boda que se lleva a cabo en su hogar, ubicada en una región de clase alta de la Ciudad de México. En un inicio, sólo con el drama y los menesteres propios de una boda típica, comenzamos a observar cómo el descontento se construye por encima de los altos muros de la élite mexicana, y nos conducen hacia una creciente historia caótica de cómo Marianne y la gente que la rodea, lidian con la ruptura de la ley y el orden, la corrupción y la agitación social violenta.

Lo siguiente es una conversación con González Norvind acerca de “New Order”, su experiencia trabajando en un film distópico y el impacto que tuvo en ella.

Hola Naian, te agradezco el tiempo. Para comenzar ¿Podrías establecer para nosotros el contexto inicial de la película y la situación de tu personaje Marianne?

Al inicio de la película, cuando comienza, Marianne está disfrutando el día de su boda, está a punto de casarse en su residencia familiar. El problema comienza cuando –te puedes dar cuenta de que existe un cierto descontento social que termina de explotar el día de su boda. Y de cierta forma destruye las vidas de 4 o 5 personajes que intervienen en distintas maneras. Incluyendo a Marianne. ¿Y qué fue lo que te atrajo del script y la historia en el mensaje de la película?

Pienso de manera muy natural, lo primero que me atrajo fue la urgencia y la relevancia de los temas que la película pone sobre la mesa, y cómo hace una crítica a la sociedad, la forma en que hemos estructurado la sociedad –que dejamos a pocos son tanto; con tantos recursos, mientras que a una mayoría con muy pocos recursos, y la inequidad social es algo que creí muy importante abordar, ese malestar social, el descontento. Además, qué tanto participamos en un nivel individual, en estos laberintos de corrupción y de impunidad que criticamos, pero no hacemos nada al respecto.

Eso fue lo primero. Después también trabajar con Michel y el desafío de interpretar esa parte tan complicada de un personaje que pasa por tantas cosas.

Ahora, ¿Cómo fue el proceso de llevar al personaje de Mariannne a la vida real, obtuviste la inspiración de alguna parte?

Sí, Michel de hecho escribió ese papel para mí. La llamó Marianne porque rima con Naian. Así que hay muchos elementos en común entre Marianne y yo, principalmente, creo que el temperamento y nuestro deseo de ayudar a otros. Según lo que me dijo; ¡no quiero halagarme a mí misma! Pero también él me dio un par de películas como referencia, que lo inspiraron a realizar éste film.

Películas de Buñuel como “Viridiana” y películas de Pasolini, “Melancholia” de Lars Von Trier, otra película donde la celebración de una boda se torna caótica. Y también investigué por mi cuenta y leí testimonios sobre abuso, sobre

Así que en ese aspecto fue muy difícil, tenía que estar híper concentrada, y eso fue lo que Michel siempre exigía de nosotros. Yo realmente disfruto este tipo de desafío cuando tienes que dar en el blanco perfectamente, tus ojos giran a la derecha en ese preciso momento cuando ves a esa persona, tú te mueves, cuando ellos se mueven, etcétera.

Por eso se siente como algún tipo de orquestación. Y eso fue algo muy divertido de hacer.

mujeres que se han encontrado, o personas que se han encontrado en situaciones tan nefastas como las que vive Marianne, sólo para tener como una referencia de la vida real con la cual empatizar. ¿Podrías contarnos un poco sobre cómo fue trabajar en el rodaje con Michel en un proyecto como “New Order”?

Bueno, como ya sabes, la primera parte de la película se re-

Y luego el lenguaje de la película cambia de manera visual y todo empieza a echarse a perder. Y ese desafío fue diferente. Fue, sobre todo, un desafío emocional y circunstancial, más que un tipo de reto de artesano. ¿Qué te llevas personalmente o alguna lección de tu trabajo en esta película ahora que ya salió al mundo?

Hay muchas, desde simplemente hacerlo y aprender a trabajar con un director nuevo y diferente, cada experiencia, cada película o serie u obra es una oportunidad de conectarse con otras personas de una manera diferente, con otros actores o tu director para entender el punto de vista de alguien más, incluyendo los personajes.

Entonces, antes que nada, es lo que me llevo conmigo y también la experiencia bonita que fue todo lo que ha pasado desde que terminamos la película e ir al Venice Film Festival, ver cómo fue recibida la película allá y que le haya ido tan bien.

Y después el San Sebastián Film Festival, Toronto, la controversia, y la conversación que generó en México, que es lo que Michel quería lograr desde un principio.

Creo que es una película que no te deja indiferente y definitivamente no me dejó indiferente a mí después de verla.

Fue gracioso qué tanto me impresionó, a pesar de haberla hecho bien, a pesar de haber participado en ella y saber qué es lo que va a pasar, aún así, me conmovió mucho lo que vi.

Teniendo en cuenta las ideas de la desigualdad de la riqueza, los disturbios sociales, e incluso las segmentaciones por color, ¿Qué esperas que la gente se lleve de la película?

Que la violencia engendra violencia, que para entender esto de verdad, si queremos hacer un cambio colectivamente, debemos hacer un cambio en nosotros mismos.

Espero que la gente esté tan conmovida como yo después de ver la película y que se pregunten cuál es su papel en el status quo. En los paradigmas que obedecemos. Y cuánto de nuestra sociedad está estructurada para el beneficio de los pocos y el detrimento de tantos.

Y creo que la película, ya sabes, te obliga a que cuestiones tu propio privilegio y la manera en la que tratas a la gente. Y también por eso la quería hacer desde un inicio.

Muchísimas gracias Naian, ¿Hay algo más que quisieras agregar?

No, solo que estoy muy emocionada que se estrena el viernes en los Estados Unidos. Y espero ver las reacciones y opiniones de toda la gente. Y creo que esto es lo que puede hacer el cine para el mundo, que no solo nos sirva como entretenimiento, sino que también nos haga reflexionar sobre nosotros mismos.

ASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee's attorney general is part of a group that wants Facebook to stop its plans to create a kids' version of Instagram.

The group contends using social media can be detrimental to children's health and well-being, and that kids aren't equipped to navigate the challenges.

Tennessee AG Herbert Slatery signed the letter, along with more than 40 other state attorneys general.

strangers not approved by their parents.

"There are a lot of benefits that come with technology, but there are a lot of risks involved," said Skrmetti, "and those risks are magnified for children. And we're going to do everything we can to use the law to protect children. But parents need to be aware of what's going on."

A report for the National Council for Missing and Exploited Children found in 2020, more than 20 million images related to child abuse had been shared on Facebook and Instagram.

El grupo sostiene que el uso de redes social puede ser perjudicial para la salud y el bienestar de los niños, y que los niños no están preparados para navegar los desafíos.

“Y así están creando consumidores”, dijo Skrmetti. “Y están creando consumidores que no reconocen que potencialmente sean mercantilizados por estas compañías en un futuro”.

A principios de este año, el fundador de Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, confirmó sus planes para un Instagram para niños durante una audiencia del Congreso sobre la desinformación.

En un comunicado, un portavoz de Facebook dijo que la compañía quiere ofrecer experiencias para niños que les da visibilidad y control a los padres sobre lo que están haciendo sus hijos.

Reportes del año 2019 mostraron que la App Facebook´s Messenger Kids, diseñada para niños entre seis y 12 años, contenía una falla de diseño importante que permitió a los niños unirse a chats grupales con extraños no aprobados por sus padres.

Facebook ha dicho que no mostraría anuncios en la plataforma de Instagram para niños por debajo de los 13 años, pero el Fiscal General en Jefe de Tennessee, Jonathan Skrmetti, dijo que con o sin anuncios, la plataforma será diseñada para aclimatar a los niños a los redes sociales en una etapa en que están psicológicamente vulnerables.

“Yo creo que el objetivo es evitar la necesidad de litigar, apelando a los mejores ángeles de la naturaleza de Facebook”, dijo Skrmetti. “Y esperar que reconozcan que podrían causar un grave daño si empiezan a dirigirse a los niños con su producto”.

In a statement, a Facebook spokesperson said the company wants to deliver experiences for kids that give parents visibility and control over what their children are doing.

Facebook has said it wouldn't show ads on the Instagram platform for kids under 13, but Tennessee Chief Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said ads or no ads, the platform will be designed to acclimate kids to social media at a time when they're psychologically vulnerable.

"I think the goal is to avoid the need for litigation by appealing to the better angels of Facebook's nature," said Skrmetti, "and hoping that they recognize there's severe harm that could happen if they start targeting children with their product."

No importa si se hace realidad ahora o en un futuro, los defensores lo ven como una oportunidad para ayudar a terminar con las diferencias raciales en la justicia penal. La ley permitiría el uso de la marihuana a mayores de 21 años, y eliminaría la mayoría de las condenas penales menores relacionadas con la droga.

Julia Decker, directora de políticas para la Unión Estadounidense por las Libertades Civiles (ACLU) de Minnesota, dijo que no solucionaría todas las disparidades dentro del sistema, pero que es una ruptura con la situación vigente.

“Aun cuando un gran cambio no hará todo lo que queremos que haga, el status quo no ha funcionado”, argumentó Decker. “No está funcionando y

El proyecto de ley recibió algo de apoyo republicano en una cámara mayormente demócrata.

El líder de la mayoría en el Senado, mayoritariamente republicano, está en contra de la legalización, citando consecuencias involuntarias, pero insinuó que está dispuesto a reformar las sentencias.

Los defensores de la propuesta dijeron que aquellos que se ven afectados de manera desproporcionada por la aplicación de las políticas de marihuana se recuperan con dificultad de sus experiencias en el sistema legal. Decker mencionó que las consecuencias pueden ser graves.

“Incluso una detención, todos los contactos con el sistema de justicia penal, pueden afectar cosas como la vivienda, el trabajo, y para algunas comunidades, el estatus de inmigración,” destacó Decker.

En otro lugar en el frente por la justicia penal, la ACLU es parte de una coalición que pide que pongan fin a las suspensiones de licencias de conducir para multas de tránsito de nivel bajo no pagadas.

Decker señaló que es una manera diferente de establecer equidad. En cuanto a la propuesta de la marihuana, si se aprueba, Minnesota se uniría a los 15 o más estados que impulsan la legalización.

El estado ya tiene un programa para la marihuana medicinal.

T. PAUL, Minn. -- A marijuana legalization bill in the Minnesota Legislature faces an uncertain future, despite winning House approval last week.

Whether it becomes reality now or at a future point, advocates see it as a way to help end racial disparities in criminal justice. The measure would legalize marijuana use for those 21 and older, while expunging most minor criminal convictions related to the drug.

Julia Decker, policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Minnesota, said it wouldn't solve all the disparities within the system, but is a break from the status quo.

"Even if a major change will not do everything that we want it to do, the status quo has not worked," Decker argued. "It's not working, and

The bill received some GOP support in the DFL-led House. The majority leader in the Republican-controlled Senate opposes legalization, citing unintended consequences, but hinted he's open to sentencing reform.

Supporters of the bill said those who are disproportionately affected by marijuana enforcement have a hard time recovering from their experience in the legal system.

Decker noted the effects can be wide-ranging.

"Even an arrest, all of those contacts with the criminal legal system, can impact things like housing, jobs, for some communities, immigration status," Decker outlined.

Elsewhere on the criminal justice front, the ACLU is part of a coalition calling for an end to driver license suspensions for low-level, unpaid traffic tickets.

Decker pointed out it is another way to establish fairness. As for the marijuana bill, if approved, Minnesota would join more than 15 other states in endorsing legalization. The state already has a medical marijuana program.

CalMatters, millones de estudiantes han tenido dificultades para acceder a la escuela virtual porque no tenían una conexión a Internet confiable en casa , a menudo porque no podían pagar el acceso a Internet de alta velocidad.

ov. Gavin Newsom is pitching a threeyear, $7 billion broadband expansion to get California households connected to high-speed internet.

La propuesta de Newsom usaría principalmente dólares de ayuda federal para construir una red de banda ancha de fibra de “media milla” en todo el estado para incentivar a los proveedores a “expandir el servicio a áreas sin servicio y desatendidas al reducir sustancialmente sus costos iniciales de infraestructura”, según su propuesta de presupuesto .

El objetivo es conectar al 51% de los hogares rurales que no tienen opciones de alta velocidad.

“Let’s get this done once and for all, so that no future administration is talking about the scourge of the digital divide,” Newsom said Friday as part of California’s $100 billion windfall.

The announcement comes after a pandemic year that exposed the consequences of California’s long-festering digital divide. As CalMatters reported, millions of students have struggled to access virtual school because they lacked a reliable internet connection at home, often because they couldn’t afford high-speed internet.

Newsom’s proposal would mostly use federal relief dollars to build a statewide “middle-mile” fiber broadband network to incentivize providers to “expand service to unserved and underserved areas by substantially reducing their upfront infrastructure costs,” according to his budget proposal. The aim is to connect the 51% of rural households that have no high-speed options.

With a $500 million loan program, Newsom signaled support for a growing movement of local municipalities and nonprofits building out broadband networks. It’s a movement that President Joe Biden centered in his infra-

structure plan, sending internet providers into an existential fight over who builds America’s broadband future.

However, the proposal does little to address the barrier of affordability — especially in urban and suburban communities where high-speed internet infrastructure exists, but the cost remains out of reach for many households. Newsom hinted that the ball is in the court of legislators who have introduced a flurry of bills to address broadband access.

“We still have to deal with the issue of access and affordability. We have a lot of work to do with the legislature in that space,” Newsom said.

l gobernador Gavin Newsom está lanzando una expansión de banda ancha de tres años y $7 mil millones para que los hogares de California se conecten a Internet de alta velocidad.

“Hagamos esto de una vez por todas, para que ninguna administración futura hable del flagelo de la brecha digital”, dijo Newsom el viernes como parte de la ganancia inesperada de $100 mil millones de California.

El anuncio se produce después de un año de pandemia que expuso las consecuencias de la creciente brecha digital de California. Como informó

Con un programa de préstamos de $500 millones, Newsom señaló su apoyo a un movimiento creciente de municipalidades locales y organizaciones sin fines de lucro que están construyendo redes de banda ancha. Es un movimiento que el presidente Joe Biden centró en su plan de infraestructura, enviando a los proveedores de Internet a una lucha existencial sobre quién construye el futuro de la banda ancha de Estados Unidos.

Sin embargo, la propuesta hace poco para abordar la barrera de la asequibilidad, especialmente en comunidades urbanas y suburbanas donde existe infraestructura de Internet de alta velocidad, pero el costo permanece fuera del alcance de muchos hogares. Newsom insinuó que la pelota está en la cancha de los legisladores que han presentado una serie de proyectos de ley para abordar el acceso de banda ancha .

“Todavía tenemos que lidiar con el tema del acceso y la asequibilidad. Tenemos mucho trabajo que hacer con la legislatura en ese espacio ”, dijo Newsom.

David Robinson, fundador del Dia de las Especies en Peligro de Extinción (Endangered Species Day) en San Diego, comenta:

OS ANGELES -- Events are planned across the country this week to celebrate the 16th annual Endangered Species Day, May 21.

"Hay tantas actividades diarias. Y ha habido muchas historias de éxito por acciones individuales.

La gente hace la diferencia. Empezando por la consciencia."

In 2006 The U.S. Senate approved a proclamation from California Sen. Dianne Feinstein calling for a celebration on the third Friday each May.

Las especies amenazadas del estado incluyen el cóndor de California, la nutria marina, las tortugas marinas, el borrego cimarrón del desierto y muchas más. Las estadísticas del estado muestran que California es el hogar de 173 especies animales y 286 vegetales que están registradas por el estado o por la federación como amenazadas o en peligro de extinción.

People can raise awareness by joining the Endangered Species Coalition's chalk party and posting their drawing of an endangered plant or animal on Instagram.

David Robinson founded Endangered Species Day in San Diego.

"Individuals do make a difference with endangered species conservation because of the everyday actions they can take," Robinson explained. "Along with the ongoing efforts of environmental organizations, and positive results of the Endangered Species Act, there have been many success stories of species recovering."

The state's endangered species include the California condor, sea otter, sea turtles, desert bighorn sheep and many more. State statistics show California is home to 173 animal species and 286 plant species listed by the state or the federal government as endangered or threatened.

Sarah Starman, national grassroots organizer for the Endangered Species Coalition, invites every-

"On Saturday, May 22nd, go out in their local parks, a garden, a backyard, go on a walk and take pictures of pollinators that they see, like birds, bees, butterflies, bats and also the native plants that those species rely on, like flowers, shrubs, trees," Starman outlined. "Scientists will use those photos to actually collect data and track species and do research."

This year the spring count of the Western Monarch butterfly hit an historic low of fewer than 30,000 individuals, down more than 99% since the 1980s.

BLACK-LED NONPROFITS SUPPORTING NC COMMUNITIES DURING PANDEMIC

"We were seeing opportunities where folks wanted to buy food, but they were not able to come out and get the food," Bass explained. "And so we started an online buying platform on www.harvestmarket.store."

He noted demand for the online platform grew as the pandemic worsened, and believes addressing food inequity is one component of anti-racism work.

Winston-Salem has twenty-one neighborhoods considered food deserts, and ranked seventh in the nation for the highest rate of food hardship in a 2018 Food Research and Action report.

Regina Hall, executive director of the Boston-Thurmond Community Network, a nonprofit serving one of Winston-Salem's oldest Black neighborhoods, said her organization is focused on closing gaps, including the wealth gap and the student achievement gap among Black and Brown students.

She pointed out when the pandemic began, gaps in reliable internet access became glaring as local recreation centers and libraries closed; places residents

INSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Black-led nonprofits in Winston-Salem are working to help residents with food scarcity, internet access and other issues exacerbated by the pandemic.

Rev. Willard Bass, executive director of the Institute for Dismantling Racism, and co-founder and codirector of the SHARE Cooperative, an organization which runs a food co-op called Harvest Market, said even before the pandemic, many residents in lowincome neighborhoods lacked transportation to get to grocery stores in other parts of the city, and didn't have access to farmer's markets or other places to buy fresh produce.

relied on to search for jobs or do homework.

"As a result, we had residents who were standing outside of the recreation center, and sometimes until 2 o'clock in the morning, just to try to get some sort of internet access," Hall recounted.

Hall emphasized Boston-Thurmond Community Network worked out a deal with the local housing authority and cable provider last fall to provide internet access to residents in the neighborhood.

"And now we're expanding our efforts where, by the end of the year, we're hoping that we will have between 50% and 75% of the households in the neighborhood with school-aged children, to have hardwired internet," Hall stated.

Hall added she'd eventually like to see state and local partners come together to establish a universal Wi-Fi policy throughout the city and county.

According to American Community Survey data, 81% of households in Forsyth County have a broadband internet subscription.

El reverendo Willard Bass es codirector de la cooperativa SHARE Cooperative, una organización que administra una cooperativa de alimentos llamada Harvest Market. Bass dice que incluso antes de la pandemia, muchos residentes de vecindarios de bajos ingresos carecían de transporte para llegar a las tiendas de comestibles en otras partes de la ciudad y no tenían acceso a los mercados de agricultores u otros lugares para comprar productos frescos.

"Veíamos oportunidades en las que la gente quería comprar comida," dice Bass, "pero no podían salir a buscarla. Y así comenzamos una plataforma de compra en línea en www.harvestmarket.store." Él dice que la demanda de la plataforma en línea creció a medida que empeoraba la pandemia y cree que abordar la desigualdad alimentaria es un componente del trabajo contra el racismo.

Winston-Salem tiene veintiún vecindarios considerados desiertos de comida, y ocupo el séptimo lugar en la nación por la tasa más alta de dificultades alimentarias, según un informe de Investigación y acción alimenticia en 2018.

Regina Hall de Boston-Thurmond Community Network, una organización sin fines de lucro que

atiende a uno de los vecindarios negros más antiguos de Winston-Salem, dice que su organización se enfoca en cerrar brechas, incluida la de la riqueza y la de rendimiento estudiantil, entre los estudiantes de color.

Ella explica que cuando comenzó la pandemia, las brechas en el acceso confiable a Internet se hicieron evidentes a medida que se cerraban los centros de recreación y las bibliotecas locales, lugares en los que los residentes confiaban para buscar trabajo o hacer tareas.

"Como resultado, teníamos residentes que estaban parados fuera del centro recreativo y a veces hasta las 2 de la mañana, solo para tratar de obtener algún tipo de acceso a Internet," recuerda Hall.

Hall dice que Boston-Thurmond Community Network llego a un acuerdo con la autoridad de vivienda local y el proveedor de cable en el otoño pasado para brindar acceso a Internet a los residentes del vecindario.

"Y ahora estamos expandiendo nuestros esfuerzos para el fin de año, cuando esperamos tener entre el 50% y el 75% de los hogares del vecindario con niños en edad escolar, con Internet por cable," agrega Hall.

Hall dice que eventualmente le gustaría que los socios estatales y locales se unieran para establecer una política de Wi-Fi universal en toda la ciudad y el condado.

Según los datos de la Encuesta sobre la comunidad estadounidense, el 81 por ciento de los hogares en el condado de Forsyth tienen una suscripción a Internet de banda ancha.

OISE, Idaho -- Idaho lawmakers are among the first in the country to attempt to ban critical race theory in public schools.

Conservatives across the nation have seized on the term over the past year, although the concept has been around since the 1970s. It's a theory underpinned by the idea systemic racism continues to exist in the United States and impacts opportunities for and treatment of people of color.

Adrienne Evans, executive director of United Vision for Idaho, said when diverse groups of students aren't included in the country's collective story, it sends a powerful message about who is and isn't valued.

"The ramifications for excluding this kind of truthful, albeit hard, history is deeply disturbing," Evans explained. "It has a serious impact on students and children, has a serious impact on how we contextualize the world that we live in."

House Bill 377, which passed this session, withholds funding from public schools and higher-education institutions if teachers compel students to adopt or affirm the tenets of critical race theory. Supporters said it inflames divisions among people of different backgrounds.

Evans pointed out such conservative organizations as the American Legislative Exchange Council have been leading the charge against critical race theory, and note bills to ban or limit it have been introduced in at least ten states.

"This is a really concentrated, coordinated effort to undermine public education and to cast America as something other than what we are, and that in and of itself is in-

doctrination," Evans contended.

Evans stressed the country is doomed to repeat its past sins if it can't come together to understand its history.

"We have to speak out loudly that this is not the kind of representation that we need, and it is really, deeply harmful to all of us and to our collective future together," Evans concluded.

los 1970s. Es una teoría basada en la idea que el racismo sistémico sigue existiendo en los Estados Unidos y afecta las oportunidades y el trato hacia personas de color.

Adrienne Evans, directora ejecutiva de United Vision for Idaho, dijo que si distintos grupos de estudiantes no están incluidos en la historia colectiva del país, esto manda un mensaje profundo acerca de quién es valorado y quién no.

“Las consecuencias de excluir este tipo de historia verdadera, aunque dura es profundamente preocupante,” explicó Evans.”

Tiene un impacto grave en los estudiantes y niños, un impacto grave en la manera en la que contextualizamos el mundo en el que vivimos.”

La propuesta House Bill 311, que fue aprobada en esta sesión, retiene la financiación de escuelas públicas e instituciones de educación superior si los maestros obligan a los estudiantes a adoptar o afirmar los principios de la teoría crítica de la raza. Los defensores dijeron que inflama las divisiones entre la gente de diferentes orígenes.

Evans señala que semejantes organizaciones conversadoras como la American Legislative Exchange Council han liderado la lucha contra la teoría crítica de la raza, y menciona que proyectos de ley para prohibir o restringirla han sido introducidos en por lo menos diez estados.

“Esto es un esfuerzo concentrado y coordinado para perjudicar la educación pública y para proyectar a América como algo diferente de lo que somos, y esto en sí mismo es adoctrinamiento,” afirmó Evans.

Evans enfatizó que el país está condenado a repetir sus pecados del pasado si no logra juntarse para entender su historia.

“Tenemos que expresar en voz alta que esto no es el tipo de representación que necesitamos, y que realmente, es profundamente dañino para todos nosotros y para nuestro futuro colectivo juntos”, concluyó Evans.
