A DEMOCRACY WITH VOTES, NOT BULLETS

ESPAÑOL

Butler, Pennsylvania, adds to that reprehensible list of acts of violence.

L

Beyond political or ideological discrepancies, President Joe Biden is right when he affirms that, in this country, as in all, differences are settled at the polls, with votes, not with bullets.

a violencia política siempre ha estado presente en la vida de la democracia estadounidense.

Dos presidentes (Abraham Lincoln y John F. Kennedy) fueron asesinados en funciones, al igual que un candidato presidencial (Robert F Kennedy) y uno más (Ronald Reagan) fue víctima de un atentado que estuvo a punto de costarle la vida.

Any act of violence, whether physical or verbal, must be absolutely condemnable. There should be no room to resort to that extreme form of protest.

El reciente atentado fallido contra Donald Trump durante un acto de campaña en Butler, Pennsylvania, se suma a esa reprobable lista de actos de violencia.

Más allá de las discrepancias políticas o ideológicas, tiene razón el presidente Joe Biden cuando afirma que, en este país, como en todos, las diferencias se dirimen en las urnas, con votos, no con balas.

Todo acto de violencia sea física o verbal, debe ser absolutamente condenable. No debe haber espacio para recurrir a esa forma extrema de protesta.

Pero al mismo tiempo, los propios políticos deben ser cuidadosos en su discurso y en sus acciones para no incitar acciones barbáricas de personas inestables o ideologizadas. Esto es particularmente importante en los Estados Unidos, donde se ha registrado en los últimos años, un incremento en las organizaciones racistas y supremacistas.

La educación también desempeña un papel fundamental a la hora de abordar las raíces de la violencia política. Promover la educación cívica y fomentar el pensamiento crítico puede ayudar a las personas a discernir la verdad de la información errónea y apreciar el valor del discurso pacífico. Al condenar la violencia política, afirmamos nuestro compromiso con los principios de democracia, justicia y respeto mutuo. Así honramos los ideales sobre los que se fundó este país y garantizamos un futuro democrático y pacífico para todos.

P

olitical violence has always been present in the life of American democracy.

Two presidents (Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy) were assassinated in office, as was a presidential candidate (Robert F. Kennedy), and one more (Ronald Reagan) was the victim of an attack that nearly cost him his life.

The recent failed attack against Donald Trump during a campaign event in

La retórica de odio y el discurso del encono no deben tener cabida en el discurso político contemporáneo ni en Estados Unidos ni en ningún país. Lamentablemente seguimos escuchando expresiones divisivas que en nada abonan a una convivencia política pacífica.

But at the same time, politicians themselves must be careful in their speech and actions so as not to incite barbaric actions by unstable or ideologized people. This is particularly important in the United States, where there has been an increase in racist and supremacist organizations in recent years.

Hateful rhetoric and bitter speech should have no place in contemporary political discourse in the United States or in any country. Unfortunately, we continue to hear divisive expressions that do nothing to contribute to peaceful political coexistence.

It is to be applauded that both President Biden and former President Trump have called for national unity.

It is a reminder that, despite our differences, there are more things that unite us than separate us in the United States.

With 4 months to go until the November 5 elections, it is worth insisting that no form of violence takes place in our democratic society.

The cornerstone of democracy is the peaceful exchange of ideas, based on mutual respect. When political disagreements escalate into threats or acts of violence, we erode the very fabric of our democracy. This trend is not only dangerous but also deeply un-American.

Es de aplaudirse que tanto el presidente Biden como el expresidente Trump hayan hecho un llamado a la unidad nacional. Es un recordatorio de que, a pesar de las diferencias, son más las cosas que nos unen que las que nos separan a quienes vivimos en los Estados Unidos.

The roots of political violence are often complex, involving deep-seated grievances, misinformation, and a lack of trust in institutions.

A 4 meses de las elecciones del 5 de noviembre, vale la pena insistir que ninguna forma de violencia tiene lugar en nuestra sociedad democrática.

La piedra angular de la democracia es el intercambio pacífico de ideas, basado en el respeto mutuo. Cuando los desacuerdos políticos escalan hasta convertirse en amenazas o actos de violencia, erosionamos el tejido mismo de nuestra democracia. Esta tendencia no sólo es peligrosa sino también profundamente antiestadounidense.

The good news is that we can do our part to prevent the problem from escalating out of control.

Las raíces de la violencia política suelen ser complejas e implican agravios profundamente arraigados, desinformación y falta de confianza en las instituciones.

Education also plays a critical role in addressing the roots of political violence. Promoting civic education and encouraging critical thinking can help people discern truth from misinformation and appreciate the value of peaceful discourse.

La buena noticia es que podemos poner nuestro granito para evitar que el problema escale fuera de control.

Los medios de comunicación y las plataformas sociales tienen un papel fundamental que desempeñar. La información responsable y la moderación pueden ayudar a reducir las tensiones y prevenir la propagación de una retóri-

Media and social platforms have a vital role to play. Responsible reporting and moderation can help reduce tensions and prevent the spread of inflammatory rhetoric.

s your child looking forward to starting their college journey in the fall? The months leading up to their first year can be incredibly joyful and yet stressful, given the cost of an undergraduate degree. Now that your child has chosen their school, it's time to put your financial plan together.

3. Federal student loans

¿Su hijo está deseando comenzar su viaje universitario en el otoño? Los meses previos al primer año pueden ser increíblemente alegres y, al mismo tiempo, estresantes, dado el costo de una licenciatura. Ahora que su hijo ha elegido su escuela, es hora de elaborar su plan financiero.

I

A recent study by College Ave found that 83% of current undergraduate students felt a college degree was crucial for their future. At the same time, 7 in 10 students agreed that paying for college is stressful. Over half were surprised just how much their college education would cost.

Affording college can be stressful, but there are several ways you can help your children afford their degrees and set them up for success later in life. To get started, check out these six tips you can use to pay for college.

1. Submit the FAFSA If your family hasn't filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), now is the time to do so. Every year your student attends college, your family should submit the FAFSA form. Not only is the information on the form used to provide federal loans and grants, but many schools also use the information to offer students scholarships and other forms of financial aid. Some aid is limited, so it's important to remind your student to fill out the form as early as possible.

2. Continue the search for grants and scholarships The College Ave survey found that the No. 1 way families pay for college is through merit aid grants and scholarships.

You may be familiar with the Pell Grant, which provides federal funds to students based on financial needs. However, your state or school may have other grants. Make sure to search your state's department of education website and your child's college's website to see if they qualify for existing grants.

Scholarships are another popular way to pay for college tuition. While many scholarships are based on grades, your student may not need a 4.0 to receive a college scholarship. Some scholarships are based on locations, majors, family backgrounds and other criteria. Your employer may even offer scholarships!

To find scholarships, speak with your student's high school guidance counselor. Don't forget to

Around 40% of survey respondents said they planned to fund a college education using federal loans. Take a look at your student's financial aid package, which will list any federal loans your student can take out in their name. Federal student loans have low fixed rates and offer unique benefits, such as income-driven repayment plans.

4. Private student loans Federal student loans may not be enough to cover tuition. Consider a private student loan to help bridge the gap between financial aid and any remaining educational expenses. Many undergraduates might not qualify on their own and will likely need a co-signer like a parent to get approved. Look for loans that offer competitive rates and repayment options that work for your family. Use a student loan calculator to estimate your future monthly loan payments.

5. Part-time employment Whether through an off-campus job or an oncampus work-study, your student can chip away at their college expenses as they attend class. Your child may even consider working during the summer to help afford college. Not only do jobs, whether on- or off-campus, provide funds for tuition, but students can also seek jobs in their future career fields and gain valuable experiences and connections before they graduate.

6. Assess what you can contribute For some parents, they have the means and desire to help pay for their child's college education. According to College Ave's survey, 41% of current students are paying for tuition with their parents' income or savings. In addition, more than half say their parents help pay for their housing, health insurance and phone bill while in college.

Review your finances and see what you can afford. Have the conversation and be clear about what you can contribute and who is responsible if you're borrowing. Every little bit counts in helping your student achieve their undergraduate goals.

Using these six tips, your family will be well on its way to affording your child's college education and creating a solid foundation for their career.

Un estudio reciente realizado por College Ave encontró que el 83% de los estudiantes universitarios actuales sentían que un título universitario era crucial para su futuro. Al mismo tiempo, 7 de cada 10 estudiantes coincidieron en que pagar la universidad es estresante. Más de la mitad se sorprendió de cuánto costaría su educación universitaria.

Pagar la universidad puede ser estresante, pero hay varias maneras de ayudar a sus hijos a pagar sus títulos y prepararlos para el éxito en el futuro.

Para comenzar, consulte estos seis consejos que puede utilizar para pagar la universidad.

1. Envíe la FAFSA Si su familia no ha completado la Solicitud Gratuita de Ayuda Federal para Estudiantes (FAFSA), ahora es el momento de hacerlo. Cada año que su estudiante asiste a la universidad, su familia debe enviar el formulario FAFSA. La información del formulario no solo se utiliza para proporcionar préstamos y subvenciones federales, sino que muchas escuelas también utilizan la información para ofrecer a los estudiantes becas y otras formas de ayuda financiera. Parte de la ayuda es limitada, por lo que es importante recordarle a su estudiante que complete el formulario lo antes posible.

2. Continúe la búsqueda de ayudas y becas La encuesta de College Ave encontró que la principal forma en que las familias pagan la universidad es a través de becas y subvenciones por mérito.

3. Préstamos federales para estudiantes Alrededor del 40% de los encuestados dijeron que planeaban financiar una educación universitaria con préstamos federales. Eche un vistazo al paquete de ayuda financiera de su estudiante, que enumerará los préstamos federales que su estudiante puede solicitar en su nombre. Los préstamos federales para estudiantes tienen tasas fijas bajas y ofrecen beneficios únicos, como planes de pago basados en los ingresos.

4. Préstamos privados para estudiantes Es posible que los préstamos federales para estudiantes no sean suficientes para cubrir la colegiatura. Considere un préstamo estudiantil privado para ayudar a cerrar la brecha entre la ayuda financiera y los gastos educativos restantes. Es posible que muchos estudiantes universitarios no califiquen por sí solos y probablemente necesiten un codeudor, como un padre, para obtener la aprobación. Busque préstamos que ofrezcan tasas competitivas y opciones de pago que funcionen para su familia. Utilice una calculadora de préstamos estudiantiles para estimar los pagos mensuales futuros de su préstamo.

5. Un trabajo de medio tiempo Ya sea a través de un trabajo fuera del campus o de un trabajo y estudio en el campus, su estudiante puede reducir sus gastos universitarios mientras asiste a clases. Su hijo puede incluso considerar trabajar durante el verano para ayudar a pagar la universidad. Los trabajos, ya sea dentro o fuera del campus, no solo proporcionan fondos para la colegiatura, sino que los estudiantes también pueden buscar empleo en sus campos profesionales futuros y adquirir experiencias y conexiones valiosas antes de graduarse.

6. Analice qué puede aportar

Quizás esté familiarizado con la Beca Pell, que proporciona fondos federales a los estudiantes según sus necesidades financieras. Sin embargo, su estado o escuela puede tener otras subvenciones.

Asegúrese de buscar en el sitio web del departamento de educación de su estado y en el sitio web de la universidad de su hijo para ver si califican para las subvenciones existentes.

Algunos padres tienen los medios y el deseo de ayudar a pagar la educación universitaria de sus hijos. Según la encuesta de College Ave, el 41% de los estudiantes actuales pagan la colegiatura con los ingresos o ahorros de sus padres. Además, más de la mitad dice que sus padres les ayudan a pagar la vivienda, el seguro médico y la factura telefónica mientras están en la universidad.

Las becas son otra forma popular de pagar la colegiatura universitaria. Si bien muchas becas se basan en las calificaciones, es posible que su estudiante no necesite un 4.0 para recibir una beca universitaria. Algunas becas se basan en ubicaciones, especialidades, antecedentes familiares y otros criterios. ¡Su empleador puede incluso ofrecer becas!

Revise sus finanzas y vea lo que puede pagar. Tenga la conversación y sea claro sobre lo que puede contribuir y quién es responsable si está pidiendo prestado. Cada poquito cuenta para ayudar a su estudiante a alcanzar sus objetivos universitarios.

Para encontrar becas, hable con el consejero vocacional de la escuela secundaria de su estudiante. No olvide buscar sitios web de becas.

Con estos seis consejos, su familia estará en camino de pagar la educación universitaria de su hijo y crear una base sólida para su carrera. Para obtener más información sobre los resultados de la encuesta y cómo planificar y pagar la universidad, visite CollegeAve.com.

na nueva ley acaba de entrar en vigor en California, otorgando a los niños de Medi-Cal de 12 años o más el derecho

Obtenga el cuidado de salud que necesita con Medi-Cal, independientemente de su estado migratorio.

Joy Alafia, executive director of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, said there are close to 6 million youths on Medi-Cal. "For communities of color, we're looking at 61% of African American children, 59% of Latine children, and 38% of Native and Indigenous children who are Medi-Cal recipients," Alafia reported.

Supporters see it as an equity issue, allowing kids to get help for anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts regardless of their income. Opponents, including the Pacific Justice Institute, argued the law gives counselors too much power at the expense of parents, particularly parents with traditional religious beliefs regarding gender expression.

Alafia noted a law allowing kids with private insurance to seek mental health care without their parents' consent is about 10 years old now. She explained the new law expands the right to kids on Medi-Cal and still requires parental notification if the child wants to go to an overnight shelter.

"This is about children being able to seek support and it's not an intention to exclude the parents," Alafia emphasized.

a dar su consentimiento para recibir atención de salud mental por su cuenta.

Antes, sólo los jóvenes con seguro privado podían dar su consentimiento para recibir servicios de salud mental ambulatorios independientemente de sus padres, y sólo en los casos en los que se sospechaba abuso o el niño corría peligro de autolesionarse.

Joy Alafia, directora ejecutiva de la Asociación de Terapeutas Matrimoniales y Familiares de California, dijo que hay cerca de 6 millones de jóvenes que reciben Medi-Cal. "En las comunidades de color, estamos analizando el 61% de los niños afroamericanos, el 59% de los niños latinos y el 38% de los niños nativos e indígenas que son beneficiarios de Medi-Cal", informó Alafia.

Quienes lo apoyan lo ven como una cuestión de equidad, que permite a los niños obtener ayuda para la ansiedad, la depresión y los pensamientos suicidas independientemente de sus ingresos. Los opositores, incluido el Pacific Justice Institute, argumentaron que la ley otorga a los consejeros demasiado poder a expensas de los padres, en particular los padres con creencias religiosas tradicionales con respecto a la expresión de género.

Alafia señaló que una ley que permite a los niños con seguro privado buscar atención de salud mental sin el consentimiento de sus padres tiene ya aproximadamente 10 años.

Explicó que la nueva ley amplía el derecho de los niños a recibir Medi-Cal y aún requiere notificación a los padres si el niño quiere ir a un refugio para pasar la noche.

"Se trata de que los niños puedan buscar apoyo y no es una intención excluir a los padres", enfatizó Alafia. "A menos que haya preocupación por la seguridad o daño al niño.

Aparte de esos escenarios, también existe un compromiso con los padres".

Las familias que necesiten asistencia de salud mental pueden llamar a la Línea de ayuda para padres y jóvenes de California al 855-427-2736.

AS SUMMER HEATS UP, HOW CAN CALIFORNIANS STAY SAFE? As summer gets hotter, Californians are at higher risk of wildfires, extreme heat, power outages and water disasters.

JUL 19, 2024 - JUL 25, 2024

A MEDIDA QUE EL VERANO SE CALIENTA, ¿CÓMO PUEDEN LOS CALIFORNIANOS MANTENERSE SEGUROS?

A medida que el verano se vuelve más caluroso, los californianos corren un mayor riesgo de sufrir incendios forestales, calor extremo, cortes de energía y desastres de agua.

ENGLISH

ESPAÑOL

El calor es la condición climática más mortal, “mucho más que los incendios forestales y otros desastres como inundaciones”, agregó Amy Palmer, subdirectora de comunicaciones de crisis y asuntos públicos de la Oficina de Servicios de Emergencia del estado (Cal OES). "Permaneceremos activados hasta el final de este fin de semana, monitoreando los eventos y respondiendo a las necesidades en todo el estado".

t a recent briefing conducted by state disaster readiness program Listos California, state emergency preparedness officials and frontline responders discussed the current forecast for extreme weather, and shared what Californians need to know to stay safe over the coming months.

Los californianos pueden inscribirse para recibir alertas de emergencia locales en listoscalifornia.org/alerts.

The heat forecast “We’re at the beginning stages of what looks to be a fairly long heat event across much of California,” said David Lawrence, meteorologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “We will see temperatures ramp up through the week, continuing into this coming weekend, and likely through at least the first half of next week, if not a little beyond” — seven to nine days, in all.

Much of interior California will see afternoon daytime highs of 100 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit, while overnight temperatures won’t bring much relief, dipping only into the 70s and lower 80s.

“Going forward statewide, there’s no strong signal to suggest that we may see persistently hot temperatures through these three months,” said Lawrence.

“Rather, we’re likely to see up-and-down stretches of intense heat, followed by a bit of relief.”

“Both the length of this heatwave and the very warm overnight temperatures are most concerning” for health impacts, he added.

Preventing heat illness “People really underestimate how dangerous heat waves can be for Californians,” said Dr. Rita Nguyen, assistant health officer for California and director of population health for the California Department of Public Health. “Groups at higher risk of heat-related health impacts include those who are unhoused, working outdoors, working indoors without air conditioning, older adults, pregnant people, infants and children, people with disabilities and lower-income populations.”

“But anyone can be a victim of life-threatening heatstroke, because a lot of it doesn’t necessarily have to do with absolute temperature, if folks are not acclimated,” Nguyen explained. “Here in Contra Costa County, it’s 10 degrees hotter today than it was yesterday. When there’s sudden changes, the temperature doesn’t cool at night, all these things increase the risk of heat illnesses or other underlying conditions like heart attack or stroke.”

“The good news is heat illnesses are preventable,” she continued. “Some of the warning signs include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, paleness, tiredness, irritability and dizziness. If people are getting confused, passing out or vomiting, seek medical attention right away.”

“Our three tips are: stay hydrated, stay cool, and stay informed,” said Nguyen, “Drink before you’re actually thirsty … to cool off your body as you sweat. Stay away from sugary, alcoholic or caffeinated drinks, which can dehydrate you. Stay cool and adjust your activities to air conditioned places when there’s a health alert … If you can’t find one, find your nearest cooling center, mall or library. Also, use cold showers, lightweight clothing and sunblock.”

“In this time of climate change, we’re getting more alerts and there may be alert fatigue. But when people stop paying attention, that’s when it gets dangerous,” she added.

Heat is the deadliest weather condition, “far more than wildfires and other disasters like floods,” added Amy Palmer, deputy director of crisis communications and public affairs at the state Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). “We will remain activated through the end of this weekend, monitoring events and responding to needs around the state.”

Californians can sign up for local emergency alerts at listoscalifornia.org/alerts.

As for employees, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) regulations include heat illness prevention, said Charlene Gloriani, Cal/ OSHA senior safety engineer.

illness; to be watched for acclimatization during high heat for the first two weeks of a new job; to access clean drinking water at no cost; to access safe shade with temperatures beyond 80 degrees; to be monitored for signs of heat illness beyond 95 degrees; and to receive cooldown rest periods every two hours beyond 95 degrees.

On June 20, 2024, Cal/OSHA also approved regulations for heat illness prevention in indoor workplaces, said Gioriani. “The Office of Administrative Law has 30 working days to review the proposal, and the regulation will take effect immediately after the approval …

It’s very similar to the outdoor standard. Generally, it applies when indoor temperatures are above 82 degrees … and if it’s above 87 degrees, require employers to implement engineering controls.”

To file a workplace hazard complaint or get safety information from Cal/OSHA staff in English or Spanish, Californians can call 833-579-0927 between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Staying safe in water Andrew Ramos, captain of the Sacramento Fire Department, said “I operate a 14-person CalOES swift water rescue team here in Sacramento … We conduct about 30 water-related rescues a year, which is a lot, and unfortunately, a majority of those involve deaths in drowning.”

Due largely to melting snowcaps, “our waterways are colder, deeper and faster than normal right now,” he explained. “Although they may appear safe to wander into, use extreme caution. Make sure you’re wearing a Coast Guard-approved life vest and can swim. I was just speaking with another fire captain today, and he said in over 30 years, he’s never had to save a person wearing a life vest.”

Life vest loaner programs are available in counties statewide through the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways.

“If you do fall in the water, don’t panic, breathe slowly and stay calm,” Ramos continued. “Kick off your shoes, try to keep your head above water, look out for debris and make your way to the sides of the stream … if someone near you falls in, please don’t dive in after them. Throw a flotation device towards them, have them grab it and call 911.”

Listos California “These extreme weather conditions are a complex environment for Californians to adapt to,” said Sonya Harris, senior advisor for Listos California. In response, after the Camp Fire in 2019, Governor Newsom’s office created Listos, an education campaign and resource hub to help Californians prepare for disasters.

Harris said that Listos has been increasing outreach around wildfire smoke in the form of multilingual social media videos emphasizing tips including understanding and checking the local Air Quality Index (AQI); closing doors and staying inside when the AQI is high; signing up for local utility plan shut off alerts; and keeping batteries and phones powered in the event of an outage.

n una sesión informativa reciente realizada por el programa estatal de preparación para desastres Listos California, los funcionarios estatales de preparación para emergencias y los socorristas de primera línea discutieron el pronóstico actual de clima extremo y compartieron lo que los californianos necesitan saber para mantenerse seguros durante los próximos meses.

La previsión de calor "Estamos en las etapas iniciales de lo que parece ser un evento de calor bastante largo en gran parte de California", dijo David Lawrence, meteorólogo de la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica. “Veremos que las temperaturas aumentan a lo largo de la semana, continuando hasta el próximo fin de semana y probablemente durante al menos la primera mitad de la próxima semana, si no un poco más” - es decir, de siete a nueve días en total.

Gran parte del interior de California verá máximas diurnas por la tarde de 100 a 115 grados Fahrenheit, mientras que las temperaturas nocturnas no traerán mucho alivio, descendiendo solo a los 70 y 80 grados.

"En todo el estado, no hay señales fuertes que sugieran que podamos ver temperaturas persistentemente altas durante estos tres meses", dijo Lawrence. "Más bien, es probable que veamos períodos de calor intenso con altibajos, seguidos de un poco de alivio".

"Tanto la duración de esta ola de calor como las temperaturas muy cálidas durante la noche son muy preocupantes" en cuanto a los impactos en la salud, añadió.

Prevención de enfermedades por calor “La gente realmente subestima lo peligrosas que pueden ser las olas de calor para los californianos”, dijo la Dra. Rita Nguyen, asistente de salud de California y directora de salud poblacional del Departamento de Salud Pública de California. “Los grupos con mayor riesgo de sufrir impactos en la salud relacionados con el calor incluyen aquellos que no tienen vivienda, trabajan al aire libre, trabajan en interiores sin aire acondicionado, adultos mayores, mujeres embarazadas, bebés y niños, personas con discapacidades y poblaciones de bajos ingresos”.

"Pero cualquiera puede ser víctima de un golpe de calor potencialmente mortal, porque gran parte de ello no tiene necesariamente que ver con la temperatura absoluta, si la gente no está aclimatada", explicó Nguyen. “Aquí en el condado de Contra Costa, hoy hace 10 grados más de calor que ayer.

Cuando hay cambios repentinos, la temperatura no baja por la noche, todo esto aumenta el riesgo de enfermedades causadas por el calor u otras afecciones subyacentes como un ataque cardíaco o un derrame cerebral”.

"La buena noticia es que las enfermedades causadas por el calor se pueden prevenir", continuó. “Algunas de las señales de advertencia incluyen sudoración intensa, calambres musculares, debilidad, dolor de cabeza, náuseas, vómitos, palidez, cansancio, irritabilidad y mareos. Si las personas se confunden, se desmayan o vomitan, busque atención médica de inmediato”.

Since 2023, Listos California has called over three million Californians through a phone bank program, asking them to sign up for local emergency alerts, with one in four having signed up — “An incredible, incredible return, if we’re thinking about tangible, life-saving benefits,” she said.

“Nuestros tres consejos son: mantengase hidratado, fresco e informado”, dijo Nguyen, “beba antes de tener sed… para refrescar el cuerpo mientras suda. Mantengase alejado de las bebidas azucaradas, alcohólicas o con cafeína, que pueden deshidratarlo. Manténgase fresco y ajuste sus actividades a lugares con aire acondicionado cuando haya una alerta de salud... Si no puede encontrar uno, busque el centro de enfriamiento, centro comercial o biblioteca más cercano. Además, utilice duchas frías, ropa ligera y bloqueador solar”.

“Really, all incidents are local,” Harris added. “What we’ve learned in our work is that Californians are ready to prepare and help their families stay safer.”

“En esta época de cambio climático, recibimos más alertas y puede haber fatiga de alerta. Pero cuando la gente deja de prestar atención, es cuando se vuelve peligroso”, añadió.

En cuanto a los empleados, las regulaciones de la División de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional de California (Cal/ OSHA) incluyen la prevención de enfermedades causadas por el calor, dijo Charlene Gloriani, ingeniera senior de seguridad de Cal/OSHA.

En respuesta, después del incendio Camp Fire de 2019, la oficina del gobernador Newsom creó Listos, una campaña educativa y un centro de recursos para ayudar a los californianos a prepararse para los desastres.

Harris dijo que Listos ha estado aumentando la divulgación sobre el humo de los incendios forestales en forma de videos multilingües en las redes sociales que enfatizan consejos que incluyen comprender y verificar el Índice de Calidad del Aire (ICA) local; cerrar puertas y permanecer adentro cuando el ICA es alto; inscribirse para recibir alertas de cierre del plan de servicios públicos local; y mantener las baterías y los teléfonos encendidos en caso de un apagón.

Desde 2023, Listos California ha llamado a más de tres millones de californianos a través de un programa de banco telefónico, pidiéndoles que se registren para recibir alertas de emergencia locales, y uno de cada cuatro se ha registrado— “Un retorno increíble, increíble, si pensamos en beneficios tangibles que salvan vidas”, afirmó.

GAVIN NEWSOM FOR PRESIDENT? TALLYING UP HIS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

As Democrats have panicked over President Joe Biden’s lackluster debate performance and looked elsewhere for a potential replacement, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is the talk of the town. But how would he fare on the national stage?

executions in California not long after he entered the governor’s office in 2019.

n the nearly two weeks since President Joe Biden’s catastrophic performance in a televised debate, the Democratic freakout over whether he can continue as their presumptive presidential nominee has not abated.

Rather than the pocketbook appeal to the working class that propelled Bill Clinton, Democratic voters in the Trump era are searching for a leader with the proper worldview, said Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant who worked on the antiTrump Lincoln Project during the 2020 presidential campaign. Madrid believes Newsom is the frontrunner for the 2028 nomination because he has shown Democrats how to win with the cultural issues, such as abortion rights, that are most important to the party’s core supporters.

Even as Biden insists that he is committed to finishing out the race, speculation continues among the party faithful and political observers over who might be best positioned to defeat Republican former President Donald Trump instead. Among those frequently cited is California’s own Gov. Gavin Newsom, a dedicated Biden surrogate who recently completed a tour on the president’s behalf through Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

While Newsom says he’s standing firmly behind Biden’s re-election and has long publicly denied any presidential ambitions, this chaotic political moment is elevating the national profile that Newsom has spent years cultivating — including through a Fox News debate last fall against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and a heretofore unsuccessful bid for a constitutional amendment on gun control.

CalMatters spoke with political consultants and experts — veterans of California elections, swing state organizing and national campaigns — about Newsom’s prospects as a presidential contender. They largely agreed that he was extremely unlikely to become the Democratic nominee this year even if Biden ultimately withdraws, with Vice President Kamala Harris waiting in the wings, but that Newsom could be a strong candidate in the 2028 primary because of his progressive bona fides and extensive political network.

The biggest question mark: Can a California Democrat, the liberal caricature that has been a political punching bag for decades, win a presidential election? If the last eight years have taught us anything, it’s that the conventional wisdom may no longer apply.

NEWSOM ASSETS 1. He’s a dynamic campaigner Newsom’s classic good looks and charisma have always bolstered his political star power. (Never forget the infamous “New Kennedys” profile in Harper’s Bazaar in 2004, shortly after he became mayor of San Francisco.) But several observers said they were particularly impressed by how he has navigated a tough situation as a Biden surrogate over the past two weeks, defending the president on television immediately after the debate and then rallying Democratic crowds on the campaign trail.

“I don’t want to hurt him by saying this, but he’s a natural politician,” said Bob Shrum, director of the USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future and an adviser on numerous presidential campaigns, including Democratic nominees Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004.

ahead of his own party — gives him the image of a fighter, which could appeal to liberal voters looking for a new leader.

Slightly more than half of that was transferred from his 2022 gubernatorial campaign.

“The reason Gavin gets talked about is how dynamic he is, how polished he is in terms of talking about politics and policy,” said Roger Salazar, a Democratic communications consultant who served as a spokesperson on Gore’s 2000 campaign and is a Newsom appointee to a California commission for offroad vehicle recreation. “He’s very strong on the stump and he doesn’t back down.”

“The more that Republicans say California is a liberal hellhole, that helps him. He wants that.”

It also carries potential benefits behind the scenes, ingratiating Newsom to the Democratic establishment that could clear a path for his future plans.

“Being the loyal lieutenant and not appearing too ambitious will serve him to maybe buy some goodwill and become a legitimate heir apparent,” said Jason Cabel Roe, a longtime GOP strategist in Michigan and former deputy campaign manager for Mitt Romney’s presidential bid in 2007.

2. He has a growing national fundraising base Newsom is a prolific fundraiser with experience building a war chest to boost himself and other Democrats nationally. It is one of his greatest strengths, rivaling any senator or governor who may be considering their own campaign for president, said Rose Kapolczynski, a longtime Democratic strategist working with Close the Gap California to elect more women legislators.

“He’s raised tens of millions of dollars for his own campaigns and ballot measures. He’s been an effective fundraising surrogate for Biden and others. And that’s given him the opportunity to build a national fundraising network,” Kapolczynski said. “He has a strong small donor network and he’s certainly well-known to major donors across the country.”

Newsom’s three federal committees, branded as the Campaign for Democracy, have raised $24 million for direct contributions to candidates, ad spending and more since launching in March last year, according to data from the Federal Elections Committee.

-MIKE MADRID, REPUBLICAN POLITICAL CONSULTANT Most of the cash comes from donors in California, the wealthiest state in the nation and the beating heart of its lucrative tech and entertainment industries, a CalMatters analysis found. But Newsom — who regularly travels the country to elevate Democrats in red states — has also expanded his reach from coast to coast.

For example, the Campaign for Democracy PAC, Newsom’s political action committee contributing to Democratic parties and candidates, raised more than $10 million

by March, about $6 million of which came from his gubernatorial account. An analysis of itemized contributions from donors who gave $200 or more suggests that more than 40% of the remaining funds came from outside California, across 46 other states.

Establishing the network now also shrewdly lays the groundwork for a potential future presidential campaign, giving Newsom a financial reserve to run ads and curry favor with other Democrats, said Bud Jackson, a longtime Democratic strategist in Washington, D.C., who spearheaded TV advertising efforts to recruit Wesley Clark and Barack Obama for president.

“It sounds like they’ve got their shit together,” Jackson said.

3. He’s appealing to Democratic base voters If Biden sticks around, the next Democratic presidential nominee will be chosen through the 2028 primaries. Those are decided by a more liberal subset of the electorate that may be drawn to a candidate like Newsom with a history of bold progressive governance — from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples as mayor of San Francisco in 2004 to declaring a moratorium on

“He understands the Democratic base better than almost any Democrat of his generation, and that they are driven almost exclusively by cultural issues,” said Madrid, who worked on the campaign for one of Newsom’s gubernatorial rivals in 2018. “I think he’s a generational talent.”

And while candidates generally try to broaden their message during the general election, Madrid said the calculus for how to win has changed. In an increasingly divided electorate, where miniscule margins will decide the presidential race, energizing the base is just as important as winning over the ever-narrower slice of swing voters.

The constant attacks against Newsom and his “California values” by Trump, DeSantis and other Republicans actually benefit Newsom with the people who hate what those conservative politicians stand for, Madrid said.

“The average Democratic voter across the country is not that different from the average California Democratic voter,” he said. “The more that Republicans say California is a liberal hellhole, that helps him. He wants that.”

NEWSOM LIABILITIES 1. He’s not particularly popular The challenge for Newsom is to reach beyond that Democratic base. While only a snapshot in time, recent trends in California are not encouraging.

After surging during the pandemic and then holding a steady majority, Newsom’s approval rating among California voters has cratered over the past year. The Public Policy Institute of California found in a June survey that just 47% of likely voters in the state approved of the job the governor is doing, down from 59% a year prior.

Pollsters did not track why Newsom is underwater. He’s spent most of the year dealing with a historic budget deficit and the threat of massive cuts to important public programs.

But survey director Mark Baldassare noted that the governor’s approval has shrunk notably with independents, less a third of whom approve of him. Among independent likely voters, his approval is down to 35% from 50% a year ago. During that time, Newsom has leaned into his role as a prominent national surrogate for Democrats and come under increasing criticism from Republicans.

ENGLISH In a breakout of survey respondents from the most competitive California congressional districts, only 42% of likely voters approved of the job Newsom is doing. That’s lower than California voters overall — a potentially bad sign for his appeal in swing states.

“Gavin Newsom has become a more politically polarized candidate in a more politically polarized time,” Baldassare said. “That’s one thing that a governor experiences when they put themselves in the national spotlight.”

2. He’s got a tough record to defend Nearly all the experts CalMatters spoke to agreed that California’s rising crime rates, homelessness crisis and massive budget shortfall provide potent ammunition for conservatives — and even fellow Democrats — to target Newsom during a presidential campaign.

“There’s just so many things that are going wrong in the state, and he owns all of them.

He is identified with all of them,” said Roe, the GOP strategist from Michigan.

Voters in California are increasingly frustrated with the state’s rising violent and property crime rates in recent years, although they remain lower than in the 1980s and 1990s, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.

The sentiment fueled support for a ballot measure this November to partially undo Proposition 47 — a decade-old state law approved by voters — by toughening penalties for retail thefts and drug offenses. Newsom and Democratic legislative leaders balked at the measure but eventually backed down amid broken negotiations and failed attempts to put a rival proposal on the ballot.

Similarly, Newsom would have to reckon with overseeing a whiplash-inducing decline from record budget surplus to multibillion dollar deficit, and with the state’s homelessness crisis, which has in many ways defined his governorship. The number of homeless Californians has been on the rise in recent years, accounting for almost half of the nation’s unhoused population.

“His entire career, he just kind of walks into each office. So he’s got a glass jaw.”

JASON CABEL ROE, DEPUTY CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR MITT ROMNEY’S 2007 PRESIDENTIAL BID To change the narrative, Jackson said Newsom must “sidestep” these weaknesses while pointing to other accomplishments.

“He can say, ‘The economy has been in a rough spot, inflation is very high, these are things that I can’t completely control,’” Jackson said.

In part to dampen public concerns about homelessness, Newsom championed Proposition 1 — a mental health bond measure he said would help tackle homelessness — which passed by razor-thin margins in the March primary. And in a friend-of-the-court brief, he also asked the Supreme Court to grant cities more authority to clear encampments. The court’s conservative majority last month obliged, to the outrage of the court’s liberal justices.

When it comes to crime and homelessness, Salazar said, Newsom could point to “major cities in red states” with “the exact same issues.”

3. His appeal to swing state voters is unknown California Democrats brag about being on the political cutting edge, but their proudly progressive values also make them an object of ridicule. When Rep. Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, Republicans used her San Francisco hometown as a cudgel in ads against members of her caucus. Former Gov. Jerry Brown earned the nickname “Governor Moonbeam” on the way to one of three unsuccessful presidential bids.

¿PODRÍA GAVIN NEWSOM SER UN BUEN CANDIDATO A PRESIDENTE? ESTAS SON SUS FORTALEZAS Y DEBILIDADES

Los demócratas entraron en pánico por el mediocre desempeño del presidente Joe Biden en el debate presidencial y buscaron un posible reemplazo. El gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, es un posible sustituto, pero, ¿cómo le iría en el escenario nacional?

California’s luster appears to be dimming even further as Newsom’s star rises. A Los Angeles Times poll in February found that half of American adults believe California is in decline, and nearly half of Republicans said California was not American.

“For better or worse, that’s not something that’s going to play all too well in other parts of the country,” said Dan Schnur, who served as the national communications director for John McCain’s 2000 presidential campaign and now teaches politics courses at UC Berkeley, Pepperdine University and the University of Southern California.

“If he were the smart, personable, aggressive and mediagenic governor of Wisconsin, he’d be unstoppable.”

Jonathan Kinloch, a Michigan Democratic Party official in Detroit and a Biden delegate, said many voters outside of California perceive the state as the “socialist center” of America and Newsom would have to answer their concerns about its tax and environmental policies.

“When you talk about left, California is far left and…is willing to tax itself out of existence,” Kinloch said.

Newsom would also need to figure out a stronger message with non-white workingclass voters who could carry him over the top in swing states, said Madrid, the GOP consultant. These voters care more about economic issues and have consequently been drifting away from the Democratic Party in recent elections.

“The pathway to the middle class in California is among the least attainable,” Madrid argued. “The record in California is not great. Is it fixable? It is. But he’s going to need time to get there.”

Schnur said running in a presidential primary — when Newsom can lean on liberal issues that play to his strengths, such as abortion rights and climate change — would give voters more time to get to know him and become comfortable with him.

“In a general election, the landscape is going to be much less hospitable,” Schnur said.

“But in a primary, it’s easier for him to change the subject.”

But being from a blue state, Newsom lacks experience in competitive races. That could put him at a disadvantage compared to other politicians — such as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear — who have also been floated as future presidential contenders.

“His entire career, he just kind of walks into each office,” Roe, the Michigan Republican consultant, said. “So he’s got a glass jaw.”

E

n las casi dos semanas transcurridas desde la catastrófica actuación del presidente Joe Biden en un debate televisado, el pánico demócrata sobre si puede continuar como su presunto candidato presidencial no ha disminuido.

Aunque Biden insiste en que está comprometido a terminar la carrera, continúa la especulación entre los fieles del partido y los observadores políticos sobre quién podría estar mejor posicionado para derrotar al expresidente republicano Donald Trump. Entre los citados con frecuencia se encuentra el propio gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, un dedicado sustituto de Biden que recientemente completó una gira en nombre del presidente por Michigan, Pensilvania y New Hampshire.

Si bien Newsom dice que respalda firmemente la reelección de Biden y durante mucho tiempo ha negado públicamente cualquier ambición presidencial, este caótico momento político está elevando el perfil nacional que Newsom ha pasado años cultivando, incluso a través de un debate en Fox News el otoño pasado contra el gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis. y un intento hasta ahora infructuoso de lograr una enmienda constitucional sobre el control de armas.

sabiduría convencional tal vez ya no se aplique.

ACTIVOS DE NEWSOM 1. Es un activista dinámico La clásica buena apariencia y el carisma de Newsom siempre han reforzado su poder de estrella política. (Nunca olvide el infame perfil de los “Nuevos Kennedy” en Harper’s Bazaar en 2004, poco después de convertirse en alcalde de San Francisco). Pero varios observadores dijeron que estaban particularmente impresionados por cómo ha navegado una situación difícil como sustituto de Biden durante los últimos dos años. semanas, defendiendo al presidente en televisión inmediatamente después del debate y luego reuniendo a las multitudes demócratas en la campaña electoral.

“No quiero herirlo diciendo esto, pero es un político nato”, dijo Bob Shrum, director del Centro Dornsife para el Futuro Político de la USC y asesor en numerosas campañas presidenciales, incluidas las de los candidatos demócratas Al Gore en 2000 y John Kerry en 2004.

La defensa que hace Newsom de la posición demócrata –incluso en confrontación directa con oponentes conservadores y a veces por delante de su propio partido– le da la imagen de un luchador, lo que podría atraer a los votantes liberales que buscan un nuevo líder.

CalMatters habló con consultores y expertos políticos (veteranos de las elecciones de California, organización de estados indecisos y campañas nacionales) sobre las perspectivas de Newsom como contendiente presidencial.

Estuvieron en gran medida de acuerdo en que era extremadamente improbable que se convirtiera en el candidato demócrata este año, incluso si Biden finalmente se retira, con la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris esperando entre bastidores, pero que Newsom podría ser un candidato fuerte en las primarias del año 2028 debido a su buena fe progresista y Amplia red política.

“La razón por la que se habla de Gavin es lo dinámico que es, lo pulido que es en términos de hablar sobre política y política”, dijo Roger Salazar, un consultor de comunicaciones demócrata que sirvió como portavoz en la campaña de Gore en 2000 y fue designado por Newsom para una comisión de California para la recreación de vehículos todoterreno.

“Es muy fuerte en el muñón y no retrocede”.

El mayor interrogante: ¿Puede un demócrata de California, la caricatura liberal que ha sido un saco de boxeo político durante décadas, ganar una elección presidencial? Si algo nos han enseñado los últimos ocho años es que la

toria sobre las ejecuciones. en California poco después de asumir la oficina del gobernador en 2019.

2. Tiene una base de recaudación de fondos nacional en crecimiento.

En lugar del atractivo de bolsillo para la clase trabajadora que impulsó a Bill Clinton, los votantes demócratas en la era Trump están buscando un líder con la visión del mundo adecuada, dijo Mike Madrid, un consultor político republicano que trabajó en el Proyecto Lincoln anti-Trump durante las elecciones de 2020 en la campaña presidencial. Madrid cree que Newsom es el favorito para la nominación de 2028 porque ha mostrado a los demócratas cómo ganar en las cuestiones culturales, como el derecho al aborto, que son más importantes para los principales partidarios del partido.

Newsom es un prolífico recaudador de fondos con experiencia en la creación de fondos de guerra para impulsarse a sí mismo y a otros demócratas a nivel nacional. Es una de sus mayores fortalezas, rivalizando con cualquier senador o gobernador que pueda estar considerando su propia campaña para la presidencia, dijo Rose Kapolczynski, una estratega demócrata de larga data que trabaja con Close the Gap California para elegir más legisladoras.

“Ha recaudado decenas de millones de dólares para sus propias campañas y medidas electorales. Ha sido un sustituto eficaz en la recaudación de fondos para Biden y otros. Y eso le ha dado la oportunidad de construir una red nacional de recaudación de fondos”, dijo Kapolczynski. “Tiene una pequeña red sólida de donantes y ciertamente es muy conocido entre los principales donantes de todo el país”.

Los tres comités federales de Newsom, denominados Campaña por la Democracia, han recaudado 24 millones de dólares para contribuciones directas a los candidatos, gasto en publicidad y más desde su lanzamiento en marzo del año pasado, según datos del Comité Federal de Elecciones. Un poco más de la mitad de esa cantidad fue transferida de su campaña para gobernador de 2022.

“Cuanto más dicen los republicanos que California es un infierno liberal, eso le ayuda. Él quiere eso”.

-Mike Madrid, consultor político republicano La mayor parte del efectivo proviene de donantes de California, el estado más rico del país y el corazón de sus lucrativas industrias de tecnología y entretenimiento, según un análisis de CalMatters. Pero Newsom, que viaja regularmente por el país para elevar a los demócratas en los estados rojos, también ha ampliado su alcance de costa a costa.

Por ejemplo, el PAC de Campaña por la Democracia, el comité de acción política de Newsom que contribuye a los partidos y candidatos demócratas, recaudó más de 10 millones de dólares en marzo, de los cuales alrededor de 6 millones provinieron de su cuenta de gobernador. Un análisis de las contribuciones detalladas de los donantes que donaron $200 o más sugiere que más del 40% de los fondos restantes provinieron de fuera de California, en otros 46 estados.

Establecer la red ahora también sienta astutamente las bases para una posible futura campaña presidencial, dándole a Newsom una reserva financiera para publicar anuncios y ganarse el favor de otros demócratas, dijo Bud Jackson, un veterano estratega demócrata en Washington, DC, quien encabezó los esfuerzos de publicidad televisiva para reclutar a Wesley Clark y Barack Obama para la presidencia.

“Él entiende a la base demócrata mejor que casi cualquier demócrata de su generación, y que está impulsada casi exclusivamente por cuestiones culturales”, dijo Madrid, quien trabajó en la campaña de uno de los rivales de Newsom para gobernador en 2018. “Creo que es un representante generacional de talento.”

Y aunque los candidatos generalmente intentan ampliar su mensaje durante las elecciones generales, Madrid dijo que el cálculo sobre cómo ganar ha cambiado. En un electorado cada vez más dividido, donde márgenes minúsculos decidirán la carrera presidencial, dinamizar la base es tan importante como ganarse a una porción cada vez más pequeña de votantes indecisos.

Los constantes ataques contra Newsom y sus “valores de California” por parte de Trump, DeSantis y otros republicanos en realidad benefician a Newsom entre las personas que odian lo que representan esos políticos conservadores, dijo Madrid.

RESPONSABILIDADES DE NEWSOM 1. No es particularmente popular El desafío para Newsom es llegar más allá de esa base demócrata. Si bien es sólo una instantánea en el tiempo, las tendencias recientes en California no son alentadoras.

Después de aumentar durante la pandemia y luego mantener una mayoría estable, el índice de aprobación de Newsom entre los votantes de California se ha desplomado durante el año pasado. El Instituto de Políticas Públicas de California encontró en una encuesta de junio que sólo el 47% de los probables votantes en el estado aprobaron el trabajo que está haciendo el gobernador, frente al 59% del año anterior.

Los encuestadores no rastrearon por qué Newsom está bajo el agua. Ha pasado la mayor parte del año lidiando con un déficit presupuestario histórico y la amenaza de recortes masivos a importantes programas públicos.

Pero el director de la encuesta, Mark Baldassare, señaló que la aprobación del gobernador se ha reducido notablemente entre los independientes, menos de un tercio de los cuales lo aprueban. Entre los probables votantes independientes, su aprobación se ha reducido al 35% desde el 50% de hace un año. Durante ese tiempo, Newsom se ha inclinado hacia su papel de destacado sustituto nacional de los demócratas y ha sido objeto de crecientes críticas por parte de los republicanos.

Ánimo.

Eso es lo que necesito para enfrentar el Alzheimer.

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

Pero puedo reducir mi riesgo, controlando mi presión arterial y mi diabetes tipo 2.

Porque yo tengo la valentía para enfrentar el Alzheimer.

En una muestra de los encuestados de los distritos electorales más competitivos de California, sólo el 42% de los votantes probables aprobaron el trabajo que está haciendo Newsom. Esa cifra es inferior a la de los votantes de California en general, una señal potencialmente mala para su atractivo en los estados indecisos.

“Gavin Newsom se ha convertido en un candidato más polarizado políticamente en una época más polarizada políticamente”, dijo Baldassare. “Eso es algo que experimenta un gobernador cuando se pone en el centro de atención nacional”.

2. Tiene un historial difícil de defender.

Casi todos los expertos con los que habló CalMatters coincidieron en que las crecientes tasas de criminalidad, la crisis de personas sin hogar y el enorme déficit presupuestario de California brindan municiones potentes para que los conservadores, e incluso sus compañeros demócratas, apunten a Newsom durante una campaña presidencial.

“Hay tantas cosas que van mal en el estado, y él es el dueño de todas ellas. Se identifica con todos ellos”, dijo Roe, estratega republicano de Michigan.

Los votantes de California están cada vez más frustrados con las crecientes tasas de delitos violentos y contra la propiedad en el estado en los últimos años, aunque siguen siendo más bajas que en las décadas de 1980 y 1990, según el Instituto de Políticas Públicas de California.

Este sentimiento alimentó el apoyo a una medida electoral en noviembre para deshacer parcialmente la Proposición 47, una ley estatal de hace una década aprobada por los votantes, endureciendo las penas por robos en comercios minoristas y delitos relacionados con drogas. Newsom y los líderes legislativos demócratas se opusieron a la medida, pero finalmente dieron marcha atrás en medio de negociaciones rotas e intentos fallidos de incluir una propuesta rival en la boleta electoral.

De manera similar, Newsom tendría que tener en cuenta la supervisión de una caída que provocaría un latigazo cervical desde un superávit presupuestario récord a un déficit multimillonario, y con la crisis de personas sin hogar en el estado, que en muchos sentidos ha definido su gobernación. El número de californianos sin hogar ha ido en aumento en los últimos años y representa casi la mitad de la población sin hogar del país.

“Durante toda su carrera, simplemente entra a cada oficina. Entonces tiene una mandíbula de cristal”.

JASON CABEL ROE, SUBDIRECTOR DE CAMPAÑA DE LA CANDIDATURA PRESIDENCIAL DE MITT ROMNEY EN 2007.

Para cambiar la narrativa, Jackson dijo que Newsom debe “evitar” estas debilidades y al mismo tiempo señalar otros logros. “Él puede decir: ‘La economía ha estado en una situación difícil, la inflación es muy alta, estas son cosas que no puedo controlar completamente’”, dijo Jackson.

“Parece que tienen todo bajo control”, dijo Jackson.

3. Está apelando a los votantes de base demócratas.

Si Biden se queda, el próximo candidato presidencial demócrata se elegirá durante las primarias de 2028. Esos los decide un subconjunto más liberal del electorado que puede sentirse atraído por un candidato como Newsom con una historia de gobierno progresista audaz: desde emitir licencias de matrimonio a parejas del mismo sexo como alcalde de San Francisco en 2004 hasta declarar una mora-

En parte para calmar las preocupaciones del público sobre la falta de vivienda, Newsom defendió la Proposición 1, una medida de bonos de salud mental que, según dijo, ayudaría a abordar la falta de vivienda, que fue aprobada por márgenes muy estrechos en las primarias de marzo. Y en un escrito de amigo de la corte, también pidió a la Corte Suprema que otorgara a las ciudades más autoridad para despejar los campamentos.

Cuando se trata de delincuencia y falta de vivienda, dijo Salazar, Newsom podría señalar “ciudades importantes en estados rojos” con “exactamente los mismos problemas”.

3. Se desconoce su atractivo para los votantes de los estados indecisos.

Los demócratas de California se jactan de estar a la vanguardia política, pero sus valores orgullosamente progresistas también los convierten en objeto de burla. Cuando la representante Nancy Pelosi era presidenta de la Cámara, los republicanos utilizaron su ciudad natal de San Francisco como garrote en anuncios contra los miembros de su grupo.

Universidad Pepperdine y la Universidad del Sur de California.

Newsom también necesitaría encontrar un mensaje más fuerte con los votantes no blancos de la clase trabajadora que podrían llevarlo a la cima en los estados indecisos, dijo Madrid, el consultor republicano. Estos votantes se preocupan más por las cuestiones económicas y, en consecuencia, se han ido alejando del Partido Demócrata en las últimas elecciones.

“Si fuera el gobernador inteligente, afable, agresivo y mediático de Wisconsin, sería imparable”.

“El camino hacia la clase media en California es uno de los menos alcanzables”, argumentó Madrid. “El historial en California no es muy bueno. ¿Es reparable? Es. Pero necesitará tiempo para llegar allí”.

Jonathan Kinloch, funcionario del Partido Demócrata de Michigan en Detroit y delegado de Biden, dijo que muchos votantes fuera de California perciben al estado como el “centro socialista” de Estados Unidos y Newsom ten-

“Cuando se habla de izquierda, California es de extrema izquierda y… está dispuesta a cobrar impuestos para dejar de existir”, dijo Kinloch.

Schnur dijo que postularse en una primaria presidencial, cuando Newsom pueda apoyarse en temas liberales que aprovechen

sus puntos fuertes, como el derecho al aborto y el cambio climático, daría a los votantes más tiempo para conocerlo y sentirse cómodos con él.

“En unas elecciones generales, el panorama será mucho menos hospitalario”, afirmó Schnur. “Pero en una primaria, le resulta más fácil cambiar de tema”.

Pero al ser de un estado azul, Newsom carece de experiencia en carreras competitivas. Eso podría ponerlo en desventaja en comparación con otros políticos, como la gobernadora de Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, el gobernador de Pensilvania, Josh Shapiro, y el gobernador de Kentucky, Andy Beshear, que también han sido presentados como futuros contendientes presidenciales.

“Durante toda su carrera, simplemente entró en cada oficina”, dijo Roe, el consultor republicano de Michigan. “Así que tiene una mandíbula de cristal”.

SOCIOLOGIST NOT OPTIMISTIC AFTER TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT

SOCIÓLOGO DE LA UNLV PESIMISTA TRAS INTENTO DE ASESINATO A TRUMP

"It is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win," Donald Trump wrote on social media. Photo Credit: Gage Skidmore / Flickr

the immediate sentiment of unity, he encouraged everyone to reflect moving forward.

lenty of political and social leaders are calling for unity and condemning political violence after this weekend's assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. However, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas sociologist said he is not too optimistic about the country's capacity to use this political moment to catalyze change.

"We need to debate but debate on grounds that don't lead to deep tensions and hatred," Futrell advised. "I agree with all of that. I would ask folks to think about whether they individually, and we collectively, are doing that a week from now, a month from now, a year from now."

Robert Futrell, professor of sociology at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, who studies social movements and social change, said while Saturday's event has every hallmark of a political and social turning point, he thinks it is unlikely to happen given the country's recent history.

Support for this reporting was provided by The Carnegie Corporation of New York.

"If we can't come together and imagine that a better world is possible without political violence and without guns kind of fueling that, helping to fuel that, I'm not sure that this one is going to turn the tide either, unfortunately," Futrell explained.

Futrell emphasized the question becomes, 'Can and will the U.S. find the political willpower to act and stem the tide on the various forms of violence plaguing the nation?' Recent research showed almost 7% of Americans believe the use of force would be "appropriate" to restore former President Trump to office. And 10% of Americans said political violence would be justified to prevent Trump from becoming president again.

Futrell noted conspiracy theorists have already started to alter the symbolic images from Saturday's fiasco. He has seen altered images of Secret Service agents smiling as the tragedy took place. According to Futrell, conspiracy theorists take a slight shred of evidence, altered or not, to create what he calls a "mythology" that fits preestablished ideas about how politics and power work, which he said added dangerous fuel to the fire.

"After the horror of 'there has been a shooting of a former president' goes past -- and we're probably already past that in some ways -- that the tales will get spun in the ways that seem politically beneficial to whoever's spinning them, be that the far right, the left," Futrell pointed out. "Conspiracists are really good at that."

Futrell added not everyone thinks about the power words hold and while he appreciates

umerosos lideres políticos y sociales hacen un llamado a la unidad y condenan la violencia política tras el atentado de este fin de semana contra el expresidente Donald Trump. Sin embargo, un sociólogo de la Universidad de Nevada en Las Vegas, dice que no es demasiado optimista sobre la capacidad del país para utilizar este momento político para promover el cambio.

Robert Futrell es un experto en el estudio de los movimientos sociales y el cambio social en la Universidad de Nevada. Dice que, aunque el acontecimiento del sábado tiene todas las características de un punto de inflexión político y social, cree que es poco probable que eso ocurra, dada la historia reciente del país.

"Si no somos capaces de unirnos e imaginar que es posible un mundo mejor sin violencia política y sin armas que ayuden a alimentarla, tampoco estoy seguro de que esto vaya a cambiar las cosas, por desgracia," explica Futrell.

Futrell dice que la pregunta es: "¿Puede y quiere Estados Unidos encontrar la fuerza de voluntad política para actuar y detener la marea de las diversas formas de violencia que asolan al país?".

Una investigacion reciente muestra que casi el 7% de los estadounidenses cree que el uso de la fuerza seria "apropiado" para restaurar al expresidente Trump en el cargo. Y el 10% dice que la violencia política estaría justificada para evitar que Trump vuelva a ser presidente.

Futrell afirma que los teóricos de la conspiración ya han empezado a alterar las imágenes simbólicas del fiasco del sábado. Ha visto imágenes alteradas de agentes del Servicio Secreto sonriendo mientras se producía la tragedia.

Según Futrell, los teóricos de la conspiración toman una pequeña evidencia, alterada o no, para crear lo que él llama una "mitología" que se ajusta a ideas preestablecidas sobre cómo funcionan la política y el poder, lo que, según él, añade lena al fuego.

"Una vez que haya pasado el horror de que "un expresidente haya sido baleado" -y probablemente ya lo hayamos superado en cierto modo-, las historias se contaran de manera que parezcan políticamente beneficiosas para quien las cuente, ya sea la extrema derecha o la izquierda," apunta Futrell. "Y los conspiradores son realmente buenos para eso."

Futrell añade que no todo el mundo piensa en el poder que tienen las palabras. Y aunque aprecia el sentimiento inmediato de unidad, anima a todos a reflexionar de cara al futuro.

"Necesitamos debatir, pero debatir sobre bases que no conduzcan a tensiones profundas ni al odio. Estoy de acuerdo con todo ello," advierte Futrell. "Me gustaría pedirle a la gente que piense si ellos individualmente, y nosotros colectivamente, lo estamos haciendo, dentro de una semana, dentro de un mes, dentro de un ano."

EARTHTALK Q&A: BANKS & CLIMATE

Dear EarthTalk: How is it that banks play a disproportionately large role in the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, and what can we do to reform this? -- Philip, C., New York, NY

anks play a critical role in the global economy. By financing industrial activities and investing in infrastructure projects, banks are at the forefront of driving economic growth. However, through their investments in fossil fuel industries, banks such as Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America are also responsible for financing the emission of greenhouse gasses.

The carbon emissions produced by banks can be traced to high carbon portfolios consisting of fossil fuel industries. According to Whistleblowers.org, the world’s 60 largest commercial banks have provided more than 3.8 trillion dollars for fossil fuels through lending and underwritings.

By supporting and investing in companies that extract and produce oil, gas and coal, banks are helping such companies expand, regardless of the global shift towards a greener economy.

What can banks do to rewrite this narrative? For one, shifting their portfolios away from carbon intensive industries and toward sustainable projects is needed. In doing so, banks can invest in industries that reduce carbon emissions. Addition-

ally, green bonds, fixed income financial instruments used to fund climate positive projects, and climate funds, financial mechanisms that support low carbon projects and initiatives, can be utilized by providing capital directed specifically for eco-friendly projects.

Furthermore, banks can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by adopting ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria, a screening technique that judges companies based on their relationship with their social and ecological environment. By applying these criteria to potential investments, they can shift toward working with companies that reflect environmentally friendly values. Adopting ESG criteria can help banks reduce their carbon footprints and addresses other wider social issues.

One easy step for banks to take is to enhance their transparency and accountability. By disclosing the carbon footprint of their investment portfolios as well as their targets for reducing emissions, banks can demonstrate their dedication to a carbon neutral future. Frameworks like the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures can be used to provide guidelines for reporting and stakeholder assessments, and also to compare the emissions of different banks.

Greater transparency enables the tracking of banks’ progress towards reduced greenhouse emissions.

Readers can study their banks’ carbon footprints to identify “greenwashing,” a technique used to deceptively portray a company as green friendly. Search their websites for impact reports to understand their ethics and investments.

Look for external ecological certifications and use resources like Bank Green, which conduct environmental analyses of banks. By supporting greener banks, you can contribute to transparency and accountability. Through such actions you can influence the financial sector’s shift towards a low carbon future.

EARTHTALK Q&A: BANCOS Y CLIMA

Estimado EarthTalk: ¿Cómo es posible que los bancos desempeñen un papel desproporcionadamente importante en el aumento de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y qué podemos hacer para reformar esta situación?

- Philip, C., Nueva York, NY

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk

os bancos desempeñan un papel fundamental en la economía mundial. Al financiar actividades industriales e invertir en proyectos de infraestructuras, los bancos están a la vanguardia del impulso del crecimiento económico.

Sin embargo, a través de sus inversiones en industrias de combustibles fósiles, bancos como Chase, Wells Fargo y Bank of America también son responsables de financiar la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero.

Las emisiones de carbono producidas por los bancos pueden atribuirse a carteras de alto contenido

en carbono compuestas por industrias de combustibles fósiles. Según Whistleblowers.org, los 60 mayores bancos comerciales del mundo han proporcionado más de 3,8 billones de dólares a los combustibles fósiles a través de préstamos y suscripciones. Al apoyar e invertir en empresas que extraen y producen petróleo, gas y carbón, los bancos están ayudando a que estas empresas se expandan, independientemente del cambio mundial hacia una economía más ecológica. ¿Qué pueden hacer los bancos para reescribir esta narrativa? En primer lugar, es necesario que alejen sus carteras de las industrias intensivas en carbono y las orienten hacia proyectos sostenibles. Al hacerlo, los bancos pueden invertir en industrias que reduzcan las emisiones de carbono. Además, los bonos verdes, instrumentos financieros de renta fija utilizados para financiar proyectos positivos para el clima, y los fondos climáticos, mecanismos financieros que apoyan proyectos e iniciativas con bajas emisiones de carbono, pueden utilizarse proporcionando capital dirigido específicamente a proyectos ecológicos.

Además, los bancos pueden reducir sus emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero adoptando criterios ASG (medioambientales, sociales y de gobernanza), una técnica de selección que juzga a las empresas en función de su relación con su entorno social y ecológico. Aplicando estos criterios a las inversiones potenciales, pueden pasar a trabajar con empresas que reflejen valores respetuosos con el medio ambiente. Adoptar criterios ASG puede ayudar a los bancos a reducir su huella de carbono y a abordar otras cuestiones sociales más amplias.

Un paso sencillo que pueden dar los bancos es aumentar su transparencia y responsabilidad. Divulgando la huella de carbono de sus carteras de inversión, así como sus

Red Line does not print. It represents the 3” safety area. Please verify critical elements are within the safety area.

objetivos de reducción de emisiones, los bancos pueden demostrar su dedicación a un futuro neutro en carbono. Marcos como el Grupo de Trabajo sobre Divulgación de Información Financiera Relacionada con el Clima pueden utilizarse para proporcionar directrices para la presentación de informes y la evaluación de las partes interesadas, y también para comparar las emisiones de los distintos bancos.

Una mayor transparencia permite seguir el progreso de los bancos hacia la reducción de las emisiones de efecto invernadero.

Los lectores pueden estudiar las huellas de carbono de sus bancos para identificar el "lavado verde", una técnica utilizada para presentar engañosamente a una empresa como respetuosa con el medio ambiente. Busque en sus sitios web informes de impacto para comprender su ética y sus inversiones.

Busque certificaciones ecológicas externas y utilice recursos como Bank Green, que realiza análisis medioambientales de los bancos.

Al apoyar a los bancos más ecológicos, puedes contribuir a la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas. Con estas acciones puedes influir en el cambio del sector financiero hacia un futuro con bajas emisiones de carbono.

Por qué: De conformidad con la Ley de Calidad Ambiental de California (California Environmental Quality Act), Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water), como agencia líder para el Proyecto de Protección contra Inundaciones del Arroyo Coyote propuesto (el Proyecto), preparó un borrador del Informe de impacto ambiental (EIR para evaluar los impactos ambientales del proyecto.

Valley Water propone construir y mantener una serie de mejoras para reducir el riesgo de inundaciones en áreas urbanas a lo largo de aproximadamente 9 millas del Arroyo Coyote en la ciudad de San José (la Ciudad), condado de Santa Clara, California. Las mejoras se implementarían a lo largo de las áreas de Alcance 4 a 8 del Arroyo Coyote, desde Montague Expressway hasta Tully Road en la ciudad.

Las mejoras para reducir el riesgo de inundaciones identificadas para el proyecto consisten principalmente en muros contra inundaciones, barreras pasivas y bermas que se construirían a lo largo del Arroyo Coyote y adyacente a este. El proyecto también incluye la construcción de muros de contención y contrafuertes a lo largo del cruce del puente de Charcot Avenue y el refuerzo de la estructura del puente, y la instalación de compuertas abatibles dentro del sistema de transporte de aguas pluviales de la ciudad para evitar reflujos durante los eventos de inundación. El proyecto propuesto cumpliría los siguientes objetivos específicos: • Reducir el riesgo de inundaciones para hogares, escuelas, comercios e infraestructura de transporte a lo largo del Arroyo Coyote entre Montague Expressway y Tully Road debido a una inundación equivalente a la sucedida el 21 de febrero de 2017 (un evento de inundación que tiene lugar aproximadamente cada 20 años); • Completar el proyecto antes de que entre en funcionamiento el desvío la etapa 2 del Proyecto de Modernización Sísmica de la Presa Anderson (estimado para 2028); • Diseñar el proyecto para prevenir aumentos en la erosión y degradación del Arroyo Coyote; • Mantener el acceso y minimizar los impactos a las instalaciones recreativas existentes y planificadas; y • Minimizar la necesidad de operaciones y actividades de mantenimiento futuras.

El borrador del EIR identificó impactos ambientales significativos sobre los siguientes temas relacionados con los recursos: calidad del aire; recursos biológicos; recursos culturales; geología, suelos y sismicidad; peligros y materiales peligrosos; ruido y vibración; transporte y tráfico; recursos culturales tribales; y servicios públicos y sistemas de servicios. Se determinó que muchos de estos impactos no eran significativos tras la implementación de las medidas de mitigación propuestas. Sin embargo, los impactos significativos seguirían siendo significativos e inevitables en cuanto al ruido y las vibraciones. Algunas partes del Proyecto quedarían ubicadas en Watson Park, un área de desechos peligrosos detallada en la Sección 65962.5 del Código Gubernamental.

Por Selen Ozturk

rlene Nagtalon, en su tercer año en la UC San Diego, dedica su segundo año con #CaliforniansForAll College Corps a un programa que celebra la cultura asiática-americana en el San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD).

Actualmente está estudiando biología celular y molecular, junto con una especialización que creó en la investigación y educación comunitarias, además de una especialización secundaria en servicios públicos.

College Corps ayuda a más de 3,000 estudiantes al año como Nagtalon a evitar la deuda universitaria ganando hasta $10,000 desempeñar por desempeñar tareas durante 450 horas en organizaciones comunitarias en los campos de la educación K-12, la acción climática o la inestabilidad alimentaria. Lanzado en septiembre de 2022, el programa finalizará su segundo año a finales de 2024.

“Me enteré de College Corps a través de varias plataformas de las redes sociales y boletines universitarios y lo vi como mi oportunidad para retribuir a las escuelas a las que había asistido”, dijo Nagtalon, que nació y creció en el sur de San Diego.

“Mi trabajo comenzó el año pasado con el departamento de Defensa Juvenil del SDUSD, que anima a grupos estudiantiles relacionados con la identidad, ya estén basados en un origen étnico o en intereses comunes como las artes”, siguió. “En la Morse High School, donde me gradué en 2021, donde mi mamá se graduó en 1991, y donde mi hermana se graduará en 2027, ayudé a 30 miembros de un club

llamado SALAS, Student Association for Local Asian American Support, a organizar la primera celebración cultural asiática-americana”.

El evento incluía artistas y vendedores, ex-alumnos/as de Morse y estudiantes y ex-estudiantes de UCSD, además de un grupo a cappella, interpretación poética, bailarines culturales filipinos, asociaciones pre-medicina universitaria asiáticas-americanas, vendedores locales de comida asiática, karaoke y equipos de baile K-Pop. “Como producto tanto de Morse como de UC San Diego, fue muy gratificante ver el choque de los dos mundos”, dijo Nagtalon. “La directora de Morse estaba contenta por cómo el evento había abarcado varias generaciones. Alumnos/as y ex-alumnos/as trajeron a sus hermanos y hermanas más jóvenes, padres, abuelos, y amistades de la familia”, explicó.

“Mis padres inmigraron de las Filipinas de niños y nuestra familia trajo su noción de hospitalidad, de que todos son familia sin importar si están relacionados por sangre o no”, siguió. “Eso era algo que definitivamente vi en el festival. Creo que el estereotipo de muchos asiáticos a veces es que somos algo tímidos, pero no. Si veo una oportunidad para animar a mi comunidad, ¿quién dice que no puedo?”

Para la celebración de este año, dice Nagtalon, “Espero que las nuevas caras que vengan se sientan que pueden pertenecer a un lugar nuevo, ya sea si son asiáticos o no. Ese sentido de pertenecer puede fomentarse para seguirlos dondequiera que vayan”.

HOW THE 49ERS ARE WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES IN MEXICO TO CULTIVATE STEM AND FOOTBALL TIES ACROSS BORDERS Sofy Navarro, Senior Manager of 49ers EDU program talks about how events like “Day with the 49ers”, a community event in Cabo San Lucas, help connect Mexican fans and youth with the 49ers and STEM education

E

Arturo Hilario El Observador

arlier this year, the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Cabos Tourism Board hosted “Day with the 49ers,” a youth community event in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Taking place at the Bicentenario Stadium in Cabo, “Day with the 49ers” hosted more than 100 local youth for a day that included fun and education.

Participants at the event learned about concepts of STEM education alongside American Football from pro players, focusing on the game of American football by competing in drills, and about science, technology, engineering, art, and math concepts by completing an education lesson led by 49ers EDU. The professional players who participated in the activities included Patrick Willis, 49ers legend and NFL Hall-ofFamer, and Diana Flores, World Flag Football Champion and Los Cabos Brand Ambassador.

Events like the “Day with the 49ers” are part of a multi-year global marketing rights partnership between the 49ers and the Los Cabos Tourism Board, which last year announced the partnership and named the region the “Preferred Travel Destination” of the NFL franchise.

Both organizations aim to grow the game of American football while prioritizing community development. The May event was a first-of-its-kind event in Los Cabos.

Sofy Navarro, Senior Manager of 49ers EDU program, recently spoke about her experience working on initiatives like the “Day with the 49ers” and how her being Mexican-American emphasized the experience of seeing the connection between the 49ers organization and the communities in Mexico.

As Senior Manager of 49ers EDU, she manages STEAM (Science Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) initiatives with the 49ers Foundation. As part of this, she manages community

relationships, corporate giving partnerships, and oversees creation and implementation of program curriculum. Throughout her tenure, she has helped bring free STEAM programming to over 500,000 Bay Area youth.

What was her experience like out in Mexico with the kids for “Day with the 49ers”?

“It was an unforgettable experience to be able to share the game of American Football and how it relates to STEAM and career pathways. The Los Cabos community was welcoming and energized by the opportunity to participate.

The young athletes were inspired by 49ers Legend Patrick Willis and World Champion Flag Football player Diana Flores and could not contain their excitement.”

On May 31, 2024 the 49ers and the Los Cabos Tourism Board hosted a first-of-its-kind event at the Estadio Bicentenario de Cabo San Lucas which emphasized community and STEM education alongside football pros like 49ers legend and NFL Hall-of-Famer Patrick Willis, and World Flag Football Champion Diana Flores. The event kicked off the partnership between the team’s 49ers EDU program and the city to promote tourism, education and football. Photo Credit: San Francisco 49ers

How does she see the importance of connecting with our neighbor country with her being MexicanAmerican herself It was a dream to be able to work with the Los Cabos community in my home country of Mexico. This event is a beautiful blend of my nationality and cultural roots that many of our fans can relate to. As a Mexican-American woman, being able to represent the 49ers in Mexico is an empowering message to all. It sets an example for young women and student athletes in Mexico and in the Bay Area that we are a part of the ever-growing landscape of American Football. Our goal, to create deeper connections with the Latino community in the Bay Area and abroad, is led by Latinos, for Latinos.

This is why it is important to partner with organizations like the Los Cabos Tourism Board that share the same values of community and family.

This event reinforced how the power of sport can make a deep impact in the lives of others, not only through fandom, but through sportsmanship and tangible life skills. The 49ers and the Los Cabos Tourism Board recognize that opportunity and look forward to finding more ways to do this.
