Even considering that the numbers may exaggerate the total number of migrants, since the same person can be counted several times trying to enter the United States illegally, it is a phenomenon that can have important implications for United States immigration policy.

L

as estadísticas son contundentes.

El gobierno de Estados Unidos detuvo a casi 2 millones de migrantes en la frontera con México durante el año fiscal 2021, en tanto que los “encuentros” de migrantes de la Patrulla Fronteriza alcanzaron un nuevo máximo histórico de 1.6 millones.

Pero las cifras de la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) confirman una tendencia que había empezado a manifestarse desde los últimos meses.

Los mexicanos se convirtieron nuevamente en el principal grupo de personas indocumentadas detenidas en la frontera: un total de 608,000 personas.

Aún considerando que los números quizás exageran el total de migrantes, toda vez que una misma persona puede ser contada varias veces intentando ingresar ilegalmente a los Estados Unidos, se trata de un fenómeno que puede tener implicaciones importantes para la política migratoria de Estados Unidos.

Hasta el momento, el mayor énfasis de la administración Biden se había concentrado en tratar de remediar las causas estructurales que provocan la migración desde el triángulo del Norte, es decir desde Guatemala, Honduras y El Salvador, que hasta meses recientes representaban los principales grupos de inmigrantes indocumentados encontrados en la frontera con México.

En todo caso, la administración Biden debe repensar su política migratoria con su vecino del sur en momentos que empezó a negociar la reanudación de su programa “Quédate en México”, a fin de que migrantes de otros países esperen sus casos de asilo en territorio mexicano.

Aunque el presidente estadounidense tiene poco margen de maniobra, debido a su raquítica mayoría en el congreso, la ayuda solicitada para México en el año fiscal 2022 es claramente insuficiente y no refleja la dimensión de las necesidades para mitigar las presiones migratorias de su vecino del sur en medio de la pandemia del COVID-19.

T

he statistics are overwhelming.

The United States government detained nearly 2 million migrants at the Mexican border during fiscal year 2021, while Border Patrol migrant “encounters” reached a new all-time high of 1.6 million.

But figures from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirm a trend that had begun to manifest itself in recent months. Mexicans again became the main group of undocumented people detained at the border: a total of 608,000 people.

La Casa Blanca prometió un presupuesto de 4000 millones de dólares para lidiar una serie de causas problemas que incluyen la falta de desarrollo económico, la pobreza, la marginación la violencia de las pandillas, etc. Sólo para el año fiscal 2022, el presidente Biden pidió al congreso un presupuesto de 861 millones de dólares para Centroamérica, adicional a los 600 millones de dólares que ya ha entregado en asistencia internacional a la región.

Pero no se puede descontar tampoco que una de las causas de mayor migración pueda ser la percepción de qué la política migratoria de Estados Unidos en la frontera es más hospitalaria y menos hostil que la existente durante la era Trump, aún cuando en realidad la administración Biden está deportando a la gran mayoría de migrantes detenidos en la frontera.

The White House promised a $4 billion dollar budget to address a number of root causes including lack of economic development, poverty, marginalization, gang violence, etc. For fiscal year 2022 alone, President Biden asked Congress for a budget of $861 million for Central America, in addition to the $600 million he has already provided in international assistance to the region.

But perhaps, in an acknowledgment that Mexico itself should also be a central point of attention due to its nature of expelling migrants, Biden pledged in a letter to his Mexican colleague Andrés Manuel López Obrador to work together to expand cooperation, especially by increasing investments in southern Mexico and northern Central America.

The decision to view southern Mexico and northern Central America as the same region for migration purposes is important. Latin America continues to suffer the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But as with vulnerable communities within the United States, the impact of the pandemic has been disproportionate and more disadvantageous for communities already living in poverty. Looking for opportunities in the United States is a natural impulse.

Pero quizás, en un reconocimiento de que en México también debe ser un punto central de atención por su carácter de expulsor de migrantes, y el presidente estadounidense se comprometió en una carta a su colega mexicano Andrés Manuel López Obrador a trabajar conjuntamente para expandir la cooperación, especialmente aumentando las inversiones en el sur de México y en el norte de Centroamérica.

La decisión de visualizar al sur de México y al norte de América central como una misma región para efectos migratorios es importante. América Latina sigue resintiendo el impacto económico de la pandemia del COVID-19. Pero al igual que como ha ocurrido con las comunidades vulnerables dentro de Estados Unidos, el impacto de la pandemia ha sido desproporcionado y más desventajoso para las comunidades que ya vivían en situación de mayor pobreza. Buscar oportunidades en Estados Unidos es un impulso natural.

Until now, the main emphasis of the Biden administration had been focused on trying to remedy the structural causes that cause migration from the Northern Triangle, that is, from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, which until recent months represented the main groups of undocumented immigrants found at the border with Mexico.

But it cannot be discounted either that one of the causes of greater migration may be the perception that the immigration policy of the United States on the border is more hospitable and less hostile than that existing during the Trump era, even when in reality the Biden administration is deporting the vast majority of migrants detained at the border.

In any case, the Biden administration must rethink its immigration policy with its southern neighbor at a time when it began to negotiate the resumption of its “Stay in Mexico” program, so that migrants from other countries wait for their asylum cases in Mexican territory.

Although the US president has little room for maneuver, due to his meager majority in congress, the aid requested for Mexico in fiscal year 2022 is clearly insufficient and does not reflect the scale of the needs to mitigate migratory pressures from its southern neighbor in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - California community colleges are joining a new national effort to help more adults of color gain credentials and degrees to close gaps in graduation rates and earnings.

Sandra Fried, vice president of the Foundation for California Community Colleges' Success Center, says taking part in the program will help the state's goal to eliminate those disparities by 2027. She points out that, like the rest of the nation, adult enrollment has dropped significantly in the pandemic, particularly for adult students of color.

laborative, aims to provide Black, Hispanic and Native American adult students support for needs such as child care, transportation or academic counseling to help them cross the finish line.

Wayne Taliaferro, strategy officer for the Lumina Foundation, which is cosponsoring the program in California and five other states, said higher education wasn't meeting the needs of adult students of color even before the pandemic, facing barriers to secondary education that many white students don't have, such as limited financial resources.

"The REACH Collaborative aims to take an active step in shifting from this pres-

ent reality at community colleges, where the bulk of adult students of color are enrolled," he said. "A lot of adults enter community colleges to gain skills for jobs at different entry points, but the onramps don't always lead to quality outcomes and better earnings - or outcomes at all."

About 40% of Black Americans, 58% of Latinos and 50% of Native Americans age 25 and older have only a highschool diploma, compared with 31% of white Americans, according to a Lumina Foundation report.

ACRAMENTO, Calif.

-- Los Colegios Comunitarios de California se están uniendo a un nuevo esfuerzo nacional, para ayudar a más adultos de color a obtener credenciales y títulos para cerrar las brechas en los ingresos y los índices de graduación.

Sandra Fried, de la Fundación para las Universidades Comunitarias de California, dice que participar en el programa ayudara al objetivo del estado para eliminar esas disparidades para el 2027.

Señala que, como en el resto de la nación, la inscripción de adultos ha disminuido significativamente durante la pandemia, particularmente

para estudiantes adultos de color.

"Los estudiantes adultos de color, han sido los más afectados por la pandemia," asegura Fried. "No se han inscrito en nuestros programas con índices altos como en el pasado. Y debido a que la pandemia los ha afectado de manera desproporcionada, es realmente importante incorporarlos de nuevo a nuestros programas y brindarles el apoyo y los recursos que necesitan para tener éxito."

La iniciativa de ocho millones de dólares, llamada Colaborativo REACH, tiene como objetivo brindar apoyo a los estudiantes adultos negros, hispanos y nativos americanos para necesidades como cuidado infantil, transporte o asesoramiento académico para ayudarlos a llegar a su

"Adult students and students of color have been hit hardest by the pandemic," she said. "They have not enrolled in our programs in as high rates as they have in the past.

And because they've been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, it's really important to bring them back into our programs, and provide them the support and resources they need to be successful."

meta.

Wayne Taliaferro esta con la Fundación Lumina copatrocinando el programa en California y otros cinco estados. Él dice que la educación superior no estaba satisfaciendo las necesidades de los estudiantes adultos de color incluso antes de la pandemia, y enfrentan barreras en la educación secundaria que muchos estudiantes blancos no tienen, como los recursos financieros limitados.

"El Colaborativo REACH tiene como objetivo dar un paso activo en el cambio de esta realidad actual en los colegios comunitarios, donde están inscritos la mayor parte de los estudiantes adultos de color," dice Taliaferro. "Muchos adultos ingresan a los colegios comunitarios para adquirir habilidades para trabajos en diferentes puntos. Pero eso no siempre los conduce a resultados de calidad, mejores ganancias, o resultados en lo absoluto."

Aproximadamente el 40% de los afroamericanos, el 58% de los latinos y el 50% de los nativos americanos de 25 años o más, tienen solo un diploma de escuela secundaria, en comparación con el 31 por ciento de los estadounidenses blancos, según un informe de la Fundación Lumina.

COMIDAS FÁCILES PARA LA AGITADA TEMPORADA DE OTOÑO

E

BPT

l otoño es una temporada bien agitada en el año. Las familias adoptan nuevas rutinas de regreso a la escuela y al trabajo, ya sea en persona o en línea; y van apareciendo eventos y actividades en el calendario. Tener soluciones de comidas y refrigerios que no requieran mucho tiempo de preparación, es una estrategia inteligente para transitar por nuevos horarios sin dejar de nutrir el cuerpo y el alma.

Las "cenas en bandejas para hornear" gozan de gran popularidad porque son muy fáciles de hacer. A menudo, todo lo que se necesita es un tazón, una bandeja y un horno caliente. La bandeja de pollo al horno con uvas, zanahorias y nabos, consiste en muslos de pollo asados con comino y cúrcuma, una mezcla de tubérculos comestibles, y uvas frescas de California. Las uvas asadas agregan un contraste de sabor y textura para complementar las verduras y la carne bien condimentada. El asado no requiere demasiado trabajo, por lo que le da al chef de la familia más o menos 30 minutos para ponerse al día con otras actividades del hogar.

Además, las uvas muestran su versatilidad en el pastel invertido de uvas caramelizadas, muy fácil de hacer. Es un postre sabroso y gratificante, pero no empalagosamente dulce. Incluso las porciones que sobran se pueden disfrutar para el desayuno como una torta de café.

Las uvas, promotoras de la salud del corazón, también son una merienda refrescante y portátil en cualquier momento del otoño. Haga que las uvas de California sean el bocadillo principal para llevar a los días de juegos, para disfrutar en el campo deportivo, en las gradas o en el sofá.

Grapes show off their versatility in an easy make-ahead Caramelized Grape Upside-Down Cake. This cake makes a tasty and satisfying dessert yet is not cloyingly sweet. Leftovers can even be enjoyed for breakfast as a coffee cake.

Heart-healthy grapes are also a refreshing and portable anytime fall snack. Make grapes from California the go-to game day snack to enjoy on the field, in the stands or on the couch.

Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner with Grapes, Carrots and Parsnips Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 30-35 minutes Yield: Makes 4 servings Ingredients 2

2

medium onions, sliced 1/3inch thick

In a 9 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Pour 6 tablespoons of the melted butter into a heatproof cup (to reserve for the batter).

Add the brown sugar to the remaining butter in the skillet and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the grapes and remove from the heat.

In small bowl, beat the milk, eggs and vanilla together, and then stir with a whisk into the dry mixture, just until smooth. Pour in the reserved melted butter and the olive oil; stir until blended.

Carefully pour the batter over the warm grape mixture in the skillet, smoothing the top. Bake until cake is firm and springy in the center, about 35 minutes.

HOW LOCAL INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONS ARE CHANGING CALIFORNIA REDISTRICTING

L

Sameea Kamal CalMatters

be disenfranchised by having their community’s power diluted. When voters created the statewide commission, they called on it to consider “communities of interest.”

ong Beach is home to one of the busiest ports in the U.S., a cityowned airport, the birthplace of rapper Snoop Dogg and, of course, the beach.

Those communities aren’t just different racial or ethnic groups; they can be formed around shared environmental, economic concerns or social concerns.

It’s also home to many different communities: a Cal State campus, young professionals and senior citizens downtown in need of affordable housing, a 45% Hispanic population and the largest Cambodian community outside of the Southeast Asian nation.

In San Diego, where an independent commission has existed since 1992, the LGBTQ+ community has won more representation.

How these communities are grouped into new election districts could reorder the city’s priorities. For decades, the Long Beach City Council drew its own districts. But this year, redistricting is in the hands of a new independent commission, aimed at preventing council members from drawing maps to their own political advantage.

The new commission is hearing from residents, including environmental justice advocate Theral Golden, who spoke about Long Beach’s “kill zone” — also known as the “diesel death zone,” or “asthma alley.”

Golden and others argued that because the corridor north of the port is currently divided into four council districts, residents can’t be as effective in fighting port-caused pollution.

“We are looking for something that will give someone who will represent us in a manner in which we can solve some problems,” Golden told the commission in June.

California has a dozen new local independent commissions in this round of redistricting, a process that will create districts for elections from 2022 to 2030 based on the 2020 Census, the once-a-decade nationwide population count.

These new panels are coming up with districts that in some places have never been redrawn, or have not been altered significantly, despite changing populations. Taking redistricting power away from office holders could mean changes in representation and city priorities.

This local movement was preceded by a state-level independent commission created by voters in 2008. That commission is busy holding public hearings and working on new boundaries for congressional and legislative districts that, in some areas, could impact who is elected. It is getting the lion’s share of attention.

But the city and county commissions demonstrate, again, that all politics is local.

Reforming redistricting’s ‘wild, wild West’ The new local independent redistricting commissions were authorized by the 2019 Fair MAPS Act, passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom as a way to prevent political gerrymandering.

The push in Long Beach for an independent panel came mostly from the city’s Cambodian community, whose political power was diluted when it was split into four council districts by the city council’s last redrawing in 2011.

Despite that division, in December 2020, Suely Saro, a community advocate born in a refugee camp in Thailand, became the first Cambodian American on the Long Beach City Council and one of a few in the nation.

In 2018, a community group, Equity for Cambodians, teamed up with California Common Cause, a government reform group that pushed for the Fair MAPS Act, to lobby for the new commission. Later that year, voters changed the city charter to create the panel.

It also opened the door for other communities to advocate for their needs: neighborhoods next to the airport, affordable housing advocates, and Long Beach State, as well as various ethnic groups.

The Fair MAPS Act has helped reform what used to be the “wild, wild West” in redistricting, said Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of California Common Cause.

“It has created a tool for local communities to demand their rightful place in the process,” he told CalMatters. “Generally speaking, independent commissions pretty consistently take community input seriously and do the work of hearing from the public in a robust way.”

That may help level the playing field for political newcomers, since elected officials, who already have the incumbency advantages of name recognition and fundraising, sometimes try to draw districts to help themselves.

New independent commissions are drawing districts in at least six counties, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Barbara.

They’re also in place in about 15 cities, Common Cause says. They include Berkeley, Long Beach, Martinez, Oakland, Sacramento and Roseville.

“It has created a tool for local communities to demand their rightful place in the process…. Independent commissions pretty consistently take community input seriously.”

-JONATHAN MEHTA STEIN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CALIFORNIA COMMON CAUSE In January 2020, however, Newsom vetoed a bill that would have required counties with more than 400,000 residents to set up independent redistricting commissions. He said that while he agreed they were

Even before the independent commission, community leaders successfully advocated in 1990 for a district that would include the traditionally LGBTQ+ neighborhood of Hillcrest, plus surrounding areas with significant LGBTQ+ populations.

Long Beach residents from different districts participated in an Independent Redistricting Commission meeting at City Hall on Oct. 20, 2021.

There are also several “hybrid” models, where advisory councils suggest maps to elected boards. But those can be ineffective, either because the boards ignore the recommendations, or because advisory council members are appointed or influenced by elected officials.

California Common Cause is reevaluating whether advisory councils make sense, Stein said.

“While we are seeing some good advisory committees that take their work seriously, we’re seeing others that are a fig leaf for politicians that want to control the process from behind the scenes,” he said. “They want to get district lines that benefit them and keep them in power, but they don’t want to be seen doing it in public.”

All politics is local Independent commissions must follow the same rules as elected boards in drawing districts that include an equal number of people and that are geographically compact.

Districts also must comply with the Voting Rights Act — voters can’t

Starting in 1993, that district elected a line of LGBTQ+ council members — Christine Kehoe, Toni Atkins, Todd Gloria, Chris Ward and Stephen Whitburn, according to civil rights group Equality California.

“Having public commissioners and independent redistricting commissions has opened up a lot of doorways to LGBTQ+ people that may have been unable to be a voice in the room.”

-JEREMY PAYNE, ASSOCIATE PROGRAM DIRECTOR, EQUALITY CALIFORNIA Nearly all those council members went on to represent their communities as state legislators, including Atkins, who made history as the first LGBTQ+ woman to serve as Assembly speaker and the first openly LGBTQ+ Senate president pro tem, according to the group. Last year, Gloria became the first openly LGBTQ+ person to be elected mayor of San Diego.

More representation has meant leaders who fight for important community issues, such as homelessness among transgender youth or discrimination in schools, Samuel Garrett-Pate, managing director of external affairs with Equality California, told CalMatters.

“Having public commissioners and independent redistricting commissions has opened up a lot of doorways to LGBTQ+ people that may have been unable to be a voice in the room,” added Jeremy Payne, associate program director with the group, which presented proposed congressional and legislative maps to the statewide commission on Oct. 22.

Progress, not perfection While the statewide commission has a court-ordered deadline to finish its districts by Dec. 27, in time for the June 2022 primaries, not all local panels are bound to that timeline.

That means it’s too early to judge how much difference the new local commissions are making. Also, the Fair MAPS Act only covers cities and counties, leaving out school boards, community college districts and water districts.

And there’s little that can be done in advance to stop local officials who are ignoring the 2019 law. “Part of that is the way it’s written,” said Kevin Shenkman, a Malibu-based attorney who led the charge for districtbased elections throughout California. “For example, I would read the Fair MAPS Act as saying, ‘You can’t see where the incumbent lives,’ but it’s not so clear in that respect.”

Stein, of California Common Cause, said that while the redistricting act doesn’t prohibit considering incumbents, it does require first complying with all the redistricting principles, including not diluting votes.

“Manipulating the lines to keep incumbents in power is very much contrary to the spirit of the law,” he said.

One measure of success for the statewide commission — though not a requirement — is whether it helps elect officials who reflect their diverse districts. Since it started its work after the 2010 census, its record has been mixed. However, between 2012 and 2020, the commission’s new districts did largely succeed in helping to add elected officials of color in California, according to a study by the USC Schwarzenegger Institute.

And while independent commissions are meant to lessen political interests, that doesn’t mean partisanship doesn’t creep in at times.

There is also concern about a consulting firm, National Demographics Corp., that is helping draw new maps in Santa Barbara and Kings counties, though the firm strongly defends its work.

Redistricting can also lead to battles over key institutions — for example, the fight in Los Angeles over which city council district USC and its billions of dollars in assets should be in.

A similar fight is playing out further south, with students at the University of California San Diego pushing to shift the campus from a city council district centered on La Jolla, a higher income area, and into a heavily Asian district, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Redistricting this year is further complicated by the delay of census data, which advocacy groups and experts also say undercounted people of color.

Golden, the Long Beach resident, said while the process has its shortcomings, he’s seeing more transparency and public input through the new commission: “I’m going to say it is a moon’s leap above what we had before.”

For the record: This story has been corrected. National Demographics Corp. has not been sued for its redistricting work in California.

CÓMO LAS COMISIONES LOCALES INDEPENDIENTES ESTÁN CAMBIANDO LA REDISTRIBUCIÓN DE DISTRITOS EN CALIFORNIA Sameea Kamal CalMatters

transgénero o la discriminación en las escuelas, dijo Samuel Garrett-Pate, director gerente de asuntos externos de Equality California. CalMatters.

ong Beach alberga uno de los puertos más activos de los EE. UU., un aeropuerto de propiedad de la ciudad, el lugar de nacimiento del rapero Snoop Dogg y, por supuesto, la playa.

“Tener comisionados públicos y comisiones de redistribución de distritos independientes ha abierto muchas puertas a las personas LGBTQ+ que pueden haber sido incapaces de tener una voz en la sala”, agregó Jeremy Payne, director asociado de programas del grupo, que presentó propuestas de mapas legislativos y del Congreso. a la comisión estatal el 22 de octubre.

L

También es el hogar de muchas comunidades diferentes: un campus de Cal State, jóvenes profesionales y personas de la tercera edad en el centro que necesitan una vivienda asequible, un 45% Población hispana y la comunidad camboyana más grande fuera de la nación del sudeste asiático.

La forma en que estas comunidades se agrupan en nuevos distritos electorales podría reordenar las prioridades de la ciudad. Durante décadas, el Ayuntamiento de Long Beach trazó sus propios distritos.

Pero este año, la redistribución de distritos está en el manos de una nueva comisión independiente, destinado a evitar que los miembros del consejo dibujen mapas en su propio beneficio político.

La nueva comisión está escuchando a los residentes, incluido el defensor de la justicia ambiental Theral Golden, quien habló sobre la “zona de muerte” de Long Beach, también conocida como la “zona de muerte de diesel” o “callejón del asma”.

Golden y otros argumentaron que debido a que el corredor norte del puerto está actualmente dividido en cuatro distritos municipales, los residentes no pueden ser tan eficaces como se necesitaría en la lucha contra la contaminación causada por los puertos.

“Estamos buscando algo que le dé a alguien que nos represente de una manera en la que podamos resolver algunos problemas”, dijo Golden a la comisión. en junio.

California tiene una docena de nuevas comisiones locales independientes en esta ronda de redistribución de distritos, un proceso que creará distritos para las elecciones de 2022 a 2030 según el Censo de 2020, el recuento de población nacional una vez por década.

Estos nuevos paneles están creando distritos que en algunos lugares nunca se han rediseñado o no se han alterado significativamente, a pesar de los cambios de población. Quitar el poder de redistribución de distritos a los funcionarios públicos podría significar cambios en la representación y las prioridades de la ciudad.

Este movimiento local fue precedido por una comisión independiente a nivel estatal creado por los votantes en 2008. Esa comisión está ocupada celebrando audiencias públicas y trabajando en nuevos límites para los distritos legislativos y del Congreso eso, en algunas áreas, podría afectar a quién es elegido. Está recibiendo la mayor parte de la atención.

Pero las comisiones de la ciudad y el condado demuestran, una vez más, que toda la política es local.

Reformar el ‘muy, salvaje oeste’ de la redistribución de distritos Las nuevas comisiones locales independientes de redistribución de distritos fueron autorizadas por el 2019 Ley MAPS justa, aprobada por la Legislatura y firmada por el gobernador Gavin Newsom como una forma de prevenir la manipulación política.

El impulso en Long Beach para un panel independiente se produjo principalmente de la comunidad camboyana de la ciudad, cuyo poder político se diluyó cuando se dividió en cuatro distritos municipales por el último rediseño del ayuntamiento en 2011.

Progreso, no perfección Si bien la comisión estatal tiene una fecha límite ordenada por la corte para terminar sus distritos antes del 27 de diciembre, a tiempo para las primarias de junio de 2022, no todos los paneles locales están sujetos a esa línea de tiempo.

Residentes de diferentes distritos de Long Beach instaron a una nueva comisión independiente a colocarlos en el mismo distrito, durante una reunión en el Ayuntamiento el 20 de octubre de 2021.

Photo Credit: Pablo Unzueta / CalMatters Cause, un grupo de reforma del gobierno que presionó por la Ley MAPS Justa, para presionar a favor de la nueva comisión. Más tarde ese mismo año, los votantes cambiarón la ley de la ciudad para crear el panel.

También abrió la puerta para que otras comunidades abogaran por sus necesidades: vecindarios cercanos al aeropuerto, defensores de viviendas asequibles y Long Beach State, así como varios grupos étnicos.

La Ley Fair MAPS ha ayudado a reformar lo que solía ser el “muy, salvaje oeste” en la redistribución de distritos, dijo Jonathan Mehta Stein, director ejecutivo de California Common Cause.

“Ha creado una herramienta para que las comunidades locales exijan el lugar que les corresponde en el proceso”, dijo. CalMatters. “En términos generales, las comisiones independientes se toman en serio las opiniones de la comunidad y hacen el trabajo de escuchar al público de una manera sólida”.

Eso puede ayudar a nivelar el campo de juego para los recién llegados a la política, ya que los funcionarios electos, que ya tienen las ventajas de la titularidad del reconocimiento de nombres y la recaudación de fondos, a veces intentan dibujar distritos para ayudarse a sí mismos.

Nuevas comisiones independientes están dibujando distritos en al menos seis condados, incluidos Los Ángeles, San Diego, San Francisco y Santa Bárbara. También existen en unas 15 ciudades, dice Common Cause. Incluyen Berkeley, Long Beach, Martinez, Oakland, Sacramento y Roseville.

“Ha creado una herramienta para que las comunidades locales exijan el lugar que les corresponde en el proceso … Las comisiones independientes se toman en serio las aportaciones de la comunidad”.

-JONATHAN MEHTA STEIN, DIRECTOR EJECUTIVO DE CALIFORNIA COMMON CAUSE En enero de 2020, sin embargo, Newsom vetó un proyecto de ley que hubiera requerido que los condados con más de 400,000 residentes establecieran comisiones independientes de redistribución de distritos. Dijo que si bien estaba de acuerdo en que eran útiles para prevenir el gerrymandering, la ley de 2019 ya autorizaba estas comisiones.

A pesar de esa división, en diciembre de 2020, Suely Saro, una defensora de la comunidad nacida en un campo de refugiados en Tailandia, se convirtió en el primer camboyano estadounidense en el Ayuntamiento de Long Beach y uno de los pocos en la nación.

También hay varios modelos “híbridos”, en los que los consejos asesores sugieren mapas de las juntas electas. Pero esos pueden ser ineficaces, ya sea porque las juntas ignoran las recomendaciones o porque los miembros del consejo asesor están nombrados o influenciados por funcionarios electos.

En 2018, un grupo liderado por Saro, Equity for Cambodians, se asoció con California Common

California Common Cause está reevaluando si los consejos asesores tienen sentido, dijo Stein.

“Si bien estamos viendo algunos buenos comités asesores que toman su trabajo en serio, estamos viendo otros que son una hoja de parra para los políticos que quieren controlar el proceso desde detrás de la escena”, dijo. “Quieren obtener líneas distritales que los beneficien y los mantengan en el poder, pero no quieren que los vean haciéndolo en público”.

Toda la política es local Comisiones independientes debe seguir las mismas reglas como juntas electas en distritos de dibujo que incluyen un igual número de personas y que sean geográficamente compactos.

Los distritos también deben cumplir con Ley de derechos electorales – No se puede privar a los votantes de sus derechos al diluir el poder de su comunidad. Cuando los votantes crearon la comisión estatal, la pidieron que considerara las “comunidades de interés”.

Esas comunidades no son solo diferentes grupos raciales o étnicos; ellos pueden ser formado en torno a preocupaciones ambientales, económicas o sociales compartidas.

En San Diego, donde una comisión independiente existe desde 1992, la comunidad LGBTQ+ ha ganado más representación.

Incluso antes de la comisión independiente, líderes comunitarios defendieron con éxito en 1990 un distrito que incluiría el vecindario tradicionalmente LGBTQ+ de Hillcrest, además de áreas circundantes con importantes poblaciones LGBTQ+.

A partir de 1993, ese distrito eligió una línea de miembros del consejo LGBTQ+: Christine Kehoe, Toni Atkins, Todd Gloria, Chris Ward y Stephen Whitburn, según el grupo de derechos civiles Equality California.

“Tener comisionados públicos y comisiones independientes de redistribución de distritos ha abierto muchas puertas a las personas LGBTQ + que podrían haber sido incapaces de tener una voz en la sala”.

-JEREMY PAYNE, DIRECTOR ASOCIADO DE PROGRAMAS, EQUITY CALIFORNIA Casi todos esos miembros del consejo continuaron representando a sus comunidades como legisladores estatales, incluida Atkins, quien hizo historia como la primera mujer LGBTQ+ en servir como presidenta de la Asamblea y la primera presidenta pro tem del Senado abiertamente LGBTQ+, según el grupo. El año pasado, Gloria se convirtió en la primera persona abiertamente LGBTQ+ en ser elegida alcaldesa de San Diego.

Más representación ha significado líderes que luchan por problemas importantes de la comunidad, como la falta de vivienda entre los jóvenes

Eso significa que es demasiado pronto para juzgar cuánta diferencia están haciendo las nuevas comisiones locales. Además, la Ley Fair MAPS solo cubre ciudades y condados, dejando de lado las juntas escolares, los distritos de colegios comunitarios y los distritos de agua.

Y es poco lo que se puede hacer por adelantado para detener a los funcionarios locales que están ignorando la ley de 2019. “Parte de eso es la forma en que está escrito”, dijo Kevin Shenkman, un abogado con sede en Malibú que encabezó el cargo por las elecciones de distrito en todo California.

“Por ejemplo, leería la Ley de MAPS Justas diciendo: ‘No se puede ver dónde vive el titular’, pero no está tan claro en ese sentido”.

Stein, de California Common Cause, dijo que si bien la ley de redistribución de distritos no prohíbe considerar a los titulares, sí requiere primero cumplir con todos los principios de redistribución de distritos, incluido no diluir los votos.

“Manipular las líneas para mantener a los titulares en el poder es muy contrario al espíritu de la ley”, dijo.

Una medida del éxito de la comisión estatal, aunque no es un requisito, es si ayuda a elegir funcionarios que reflejen su diversidad. distritos. Desde que comenzó su trabajo después del censo de 2010, su historial ha sido heterogéneo. Sin embargo, entre 2012 y 2020, los nuevos distritos de la comisión lograron en gran medida ayudar a agregar funcionarios electos de color en California, según un estudio del Instituto Schwarzenegger de la USC. Y aunque las comisiones independientes están destinadas a disminuir los intereses políticos, eso no significa el partidismo no se infiltra a veces.

También hay preocupación por una firma consultora, National Demographics Corp., que está ayudando a dibujar nuevos mapas en los condados de Santa Bárbara y Kings, aunque la firma defiende firmemente su trabajo.

La redistribución de distritos también puede dar lugar a batallas sobre instituciones clave, por ejemplo, la pelea en Los Ángeles sobre qué distrito del consejo de la ciudad USC y sus miles de millones de dólares en activos debería estar en.

Una pelea similar se está desarrollando más al sur, con estudiantes en el Universidad de California en San Diego presionando para cambiar el campus de un distrito del consejo de la ciudad centrado en La Jolla, un área de mayores ingresos, a un distrito fuertemente asiático, informó el San Diego UnionTribune.

La redistribución de distritos este año se complica aún más por la demora de los datos del censo, que los grupos de defensa y los expertos también dicen que las personas de color no fueron contadas.

Golden, el residente de Long Beach, dijo que, si bien el proceso tiene sus deficiencias, está viendo más transparencia y aportes públicos a través de la nueva comisión: “Quiero expresar que esto es un enorme avance por encima de lo que teníamos antes”.

OBTIENE UNA VICTORIA EL MOVIMIENTO DE ELIMINACIÓN DE COMBUSTIBLES FÓSILES EN CAL STATE

E

Stephanie Zappelli CalMatters

den a alrededor de $ 1.3 mil millones y, debido a que son administradas por fundaciones auxiliares del campus, los funcionarios de Cal State no saben cuánto dinero han invertido en combustibles fósiles, dijo Uhlenkamp.

than Quaranta busca la naturaleza cuando necesita curarse. Adquirió ese hábito en los viajes familiares anuales al lago Almanor, donde creció su bisabuela. Allí, en caminatas, paseos en kayak y en conversaciones sobre la historia de su familia, el estudiante de 21 años de la Universidad Estatal de California en Monterey Bay desarrolló una pasión por mantener seguros espacios como el lago.

Pero este verano, el Dixie Fire atravesó el lago Almanor, destruyendo la escuela de la infancia de su bisabuela y partes del bosque que la rodea. La pérdida fortaleció el compromiso de Quaranta de presionar al sistema Cal State para que ya no invierta su dinero en los combustibles fósiles, una industria que contribuye al cambio climático y aumenta el riesgo de desastres destructivos. Él y otros activistas hicieron campaña por el cambio durante nueve meses a través de la coalición dirigida por estudiantes Divest the CSU (Desinvertir en CSU).

“No estaba simplemente sentado y enfurruñado con mis sentimientos”, dijo. “Estaba haciendo algo para ajustar lo que los estaba causando desde la raíz”.

Este mes, ‘Divest the CSU’ obtuvo una gran victoria cuando la universidad se comprometió a purgar alrededor de $162 millones en activos de combustibles fósiles de sus tres principales fondos de inversión, citando razones tanto ambientales como financieras.

La CSU, el sistema universitario público de cuatro años más grande del país, se une a más de 60 colegios y universidades de Estados Unidos que se han comprometido a desinvertir en empresas de combustibles fósiles, incluido el Equipo de Manejo Integrado de Plagas de la Universidad de California en 2019 y la Universidad de Harvard este año. En 2020, la UC anunció que sus fondos de dotación, fondos de pensiones y fondos de capital de trabajo estaban libres de combustibles fósiles después de vender más de mil millones de dólares en inversiones.

El Comité Asesor de Inversiones de CSU votó 7-1 el 6 de octubre para desinvertir. La industria de los combustibles fósiles actualmente comprende el 3,2% de las inversiones de $5,2 mil millones de CSU, dijo el portavoz de CSU Michael Uhlenkamp.

La desinversión ya estaba en el radar de Cal State cuando los estudiantes activistas comenzaron su trabajo, dijo Robert Eaton, miembro del comité asesor de inversiones y vicecanciller adjunto de finanzas, tesorería y gestión de riesgos de la universidad. A medida que el cambio climático empeora, el comité prevé una mayor regulación gubernamental de las empresas de combustibles fósiles, lo que podría reducir sus ganancias y el valor de sus acciones, convirtiéndolas en una inversión arriesgada, dijo Eaton.

Al menos tres campus de Cal State ya se han comprometido a desinvertir, incluidos San Francisco State, Chico State y Humboldt State, según Divest Ed. La decisión tampoco afecta a CalPers , el fondo de pensiones de California que incluye a empleados universitarios y jubilados.

Estudiantes vs combustibles fósiles La decisión de desinvertir en Cal State sigue a una avalancha de activismo estudiantil.

y gas habían sido algunas de las inversiones de mejor desempeño de la universidad este año.

“Desinvertirlo para el calentamiento global no tenía sentido desde una responsabilidad fiduciaria por los retornos financieros”, dijo. Las empresas de combustibles fósiles también son los “jugadores más lógicos” para desarrollar energía renovable en el futuro, y deberían seguir recibiendo apoyo, añadió Lucki.

Ese es un argumento que también han hecho los detractores de otras universidades, pero Eaton respondió que el sistema siempre puede reinvertir si las empresas de combustibles fósiles giran hacia la producción de energía renovable y demuestran que “son sinceros al respecto”.

Más que el dinero Siendo realistas, sacar 162 millones de dólares a lo largo del tiempo no afectará financieramente a una industria masiva. Pero el propósito de la desinversión no es tener un impacto financiero en las empresas de combustibles fósiles; es para hacer una declaración política de que los combustibles fósiles ya no son seguros de usar, dijo Carlos Davidson, profesor emérito del Estado de San Francisco que apoyó el esfuerzo.

“La estrategia política de la desinversión es llamar a esas empresas como malos actores”, dijo Davidson. “Eso debilita su poder político”.

Si el movimiento de desinversión hace que la sociedad rechace los combustibles fósiles, los políticos podrían tener más dificultades para aceptar donaciones de esas empresas, lo que podría facilitar que el gobierno las regule, dijo Davidson.

Votó a favor de la desinversión y dijo que apreciaba que los estudiantes presentaran argumentos financieros junto con preocupaciones sociales y ambientales.

La decisión de Cal State es importante porque cada vez que una nueva universidad o un fondo de inversión extrae dinero de los combustibles fósiles, las empresas y el público reciben el mensaje de que los combustibles fósiles son una inversión más riesgosa, dijo Tom Sanzillo, director de análisis financiero de The Institute for Economía energética y análisis financiero.

“Fue productivo, positivo y fue una parte importante del proceso que llevó a esta decisión”, dijo.

“A la larga, el planeta en gran medida estará bien. Es una cuestión de, ¿estaremos allí o no?”

Michael Lucki, otro miembro del comité asesor de inversiones de Cal State, emitió el único voto en contra de la desinversión. En una entrevista, dijo que los fondos de petróleo

poco más complicado, dijo Theodor Cojoianu, profesor de finanzas en la Queen’s University de Belfast y miembro de la Plataforma de Finanzas Sostenibles de la Comisión Europea.

En enero, el estudio del que Cojoianu fue coautor, él y un equipo de investigadores encontraron que cuando hay un gran movimiento de desinversión en un país, los bancos pueden comenzar a retirar dinero de la producción de combustibles fósiles en su propio país, pero potencialmente invertir en compañías de combustibles fósiles en otras naciones.

“Es difícil decir, por ejemplo, si el movimiento de desinversión … realmente ha perjudicado al sector del petróleo y el gas”, dijo Cojoianu.

Límites a la desinversión En 30 a 60 días, Cal State planea vender sus bonos relacionados con combustibles fósiles y salir del Vanguard Energy Fund, que es una colección de reservas de combustibles fósiles. Esto eliminará $ 111 millones de inversiones en combustibles fósiles de su cartera.

Los $ 51 millones restantes en inversiones en combustibles fósiles residen en fondos mutuos, colecciones de acciones administradas fuera de la CSU. La universidad no se dio una fecha límite para retirar esas inversiones, dijo Eaton. Los fondos mutuos que no contienen combustibles fósiles no han existido lo suficiente como para establecer un historial de éxito, por lo que invertir en ellos es más arriesgado, dijo. Reemplazar las inversiones actuales de fondos mutuos de la universidad podría llevar años, dijo.

Los estudiantes deberán mantener la presión sobre la universidad para que desinvierte lo más rápido posible, dijo Kerrina Williams, organizadora de disrupción digital en Divest Ed , una organización que capacita a estudiantes activistas climáticos en la lucha por la desinversión.

Aún así, calificó el anuncio de Cal State como “una gran llamada de atención para todos los sistemas escolares”.

“Si la CSU puede hacerlo, cualquier sistema escolar puede hacerlo”, dijo Williams. “Se organizaron a lo máximo, y creo que solo muestra lo posible que es este trabajo y lo rápido que puede suceder”.

Otra limitación del anuncio es que los campus individuales, que tienen control sobre sus propias finanzas, no estarán obligados a desinvertir. Esas donaciones del campus ascien-

En febrero, un puñado de estudiantes comenzó a hablar en las reuniones de la Junta Directiva para abogar por la desinversión, y el 2 de mayo, la Asociación de Estudiantes de Cal State aprobó una resolución instando a la CSU a retirar su dinero de la industria.

Unas semanas más tarde, el canciller de Cal State, Joseph Castro, dijo que la universidad consideraría desinvertir en combustibles fósiles si fuera una decisión financiera sólida, lo que incitaría a los estudiantes activistas a actuar.

En junio, ‘Divest the CSU’ tenía 50 miembros activos y comenzó a reunirse con funcionarios universitarios en Zoom, pidiéndoles que responsabilizaran a los contaminadores por sus acciones.

Quaranta y su equipo recordaron a los funcionarios un informe de la Agencia Internacional de Energía que dice que los humanos no deben realizar inversiones en nuevos proyectos de suministro de combustibles fósiles a partir de mayo de 2021 para limitar el calentamiento global a 1,5 grados centígrados y prevenir un desastre climático grave. Luego trajo su propia experiencia.

Les contó a los fideicomisarios sobre el incendio de Dixie que destruyó partes del lago Almanor y les recordó que los incendios forestales de verano devoraron las casas de los estudiantes en todo el estado. La desinversión de los combustibles fósiles era una forma en que la universidad podía luchar contra el cambio climático, que Quaranta les dijo que era fundamental para el bienestar de los estudiantes.

Cuando la universidad anunció su decisión de desinvertir, Quaranta celebró una fiesta con baile en su habitación.

“No puedo bailar, por lo general”, bromeó.

“Pero funcionó algún tipo de milagro”.

Los organizadores de ‘Divest CSU’ dijeron que ahora planean averiguar qué campus todavía están invirtiendo en combustibles fósiles y convencerlos de que no lo hagan, una tarea potencialmente más difícil debido a las diferentes políticas en los campus de todo el estado.

“Creo que el cambio climático es en gran parte una lucha con respecto a la humanidad”, dijo Quaranta. “A la larga, el planeta en gran medida estará bien; es una cuestión de, ¿estaremos allí o no?”

INSIDE THE FOSSIL FUEL DIVESTMENT MOVEMENT AT CAL STATE

E

Stephanie Zappelli CalMatters

The Cal State decision is important because every time a new university or investment fund pulls money from fossil fuels, the companies and the public get the message that fossil fuels are a more risky investment, said Tom Sanzillo, director of financial analysis at The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.

than Quaranta seeks out nature when he needs to heal. He picked up that habit on annual family trips to Lake Almanor, where his great-grandmother grew up. There, on hikes, kayak rides, and in conversations about his family’s history, the 21-year-old California State University Monterey Bay student developed a passion for keeping spaces like the lake safe.

“In the long run the planet will largely be ok.

It’s a matter of, will we be there, or not?”

-ETHAN QUARANTA, STUDENT CLIMATE ACTIVIST

But this summer, the Dixie Fire tore through Lake Almanor, destroying his great-grandmother’s childhood schoolhouse and parts of the forest surrounding it. The loss strengthened Quaranta’s commitment to push the Cal State system to divest its money from fossil fuels, an industry that contributes to climate change and increases the risk of destructive disasters. He and other activists campaigned for the change for nine months through the student-run coalition Divest the CSU.

The impact of divesting on the international fossil fuel industry is a little more complicated, said Theodor Cojoianu, a finance lecturer at Queen’s University Belfast and a member of the Platform on Sustainable Finance at the European Commission.

In a January study Cojoianu co-authored, he and a team of researchers found that when there is a large divestment movement in a country, banks might start pulling money away from fossil fuel production in their own country, but potentially invest in fossil fuel companies in other nations.

“I wasn’t just sitting around sulking in my feelings,” he said. “I was doing something to adjust what was causing them at the root.”

This month, Divest the CSU won a big victory when the university pledged to purge about $162 million in fossil fuel assets from its three major investment funds, citing both environmental and financial reasons. The CSU, the largest four-year public university system in the country, joins more than 60 United States colleges and universities that have committed to divest from fossil fuel companies, including the University of California in 2019 and Harvard University this year. In 2020, UC announced that its endowment, pension fund and working capital pools were fossil fuel free after selling more than $1 billion of investments.

The CSU’s Investment Advisory Committee voted 7-1 on Oct. 6 to divest. The fossil fuel industry currently comprises 3.2% of the CSU’s $5.2 billion of investments, said CSU spokesperson Michael Uhlenkamp.

“It’s hard to tell, for example, if the divestment movement … has really hurt the oil and gas sector,” Cojoianu said.

professor emeritus who supported the effort.

In 30 to 60 days, Cal State plans to sell their fossil fuel-related bonds and exit the Vanguard Energy Fund, which is a collection of fossil fuel stocks. This will remove $111 million of fossil fuel investments from their portfolio.

“The political strategy of divestment is to call those companies out as bad actors,” Davidson said.

“That weakens their political power.”

If the divestment movement makes society reject fossil fuels, politicians could have more difficulty accepting donations from those companies — which could make it easier for the government to regulate them, Davidson said.

Limits to divestment

The remaining $51 million in fossil fuel investments resides in mutual funds, collections of stocks managed outside of the CSU. The university did not give itself a deadline to drop those investments,

Another limitation of the announcement is that individual campuses, which have control over their own finances, will not be required to divest. Those campus endowments amount to about $1.3 billion, and because they are managed by campus auxiliary foundations, Cal State officials don’t know how much money they have invested in fossil fuels, Uhlenkamp said.

At least three Cal State campuses have already committed to divesting, including San Francisco State, Chico State and Humboldt State, according to Divest Ed. Students vs. fossil fuels The move to divest at Cal State follows an onslaught of student activism.

In February, a handful of students started speaking at Board of Trustees meetings to advocate for divestment, and on May 2, the Cal State Student Association passed a resolution urging the CSU to pull its money from the industry.

He told the trustees about the Dixie Fire destroying parts of Lake Almanor, and reminded them that summer wildfires devoured the homes of students statewide. Divesting from fossil fuels was a way the university could fight climate change, which Quaranta told them was critical for the wellbeing of students.

Michael Lucki, another member of the Cal State investment advisory committee, cast the lone vote against divestment. In an interview, he said that the oil and gas funds had been some of the university’s best-performing investments this year.

Realistically, pulling $162 million over time is not going to financially affect a massive industry. But the purpose of divestment is not to make a financial impact on fossil fuel companies; it’s to make a political statement that fossil fuels are no longer safe to use, said Carlos Davidson, a San Francisco State

“If the CSU can do it, any school system can do it,” Williams said. “They organized like hell, and I think it just shows how possible this work is and how quickly it can happen.”

Quaranta and his team reminded officials of a report from the International Energy Agency that said humans must make no investments in new fossil fuel supply projects starting in May 2021 in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius and prevent serious climate disaster. Then he brought in his own experience.

“It was productive, it was positive and it was an important part of the process that led to this decision,” he said.

More than the money

Still, she called Cal State’s announcement “a big wake-up call for all the school systems.”

By June, Divest the CSU had 50 active members and began meeting with university officials on Zoom, asking them to hold polluters accountable for their actions.

He voted in favor of divestment and said he appreciated that students presented financial arguments alongside social and environmental concerns.

That’s an argument that detractors at other universities have also made, but Eaton countered that the system can always re-invest if fossil fuel companies pivot to producing renewable energy and prove that “they’re sincere about it.”

Students will need to keep the pressure on the university to divest as quickly as possible, said Kerrina Williams, the digital disruption organizer at Divest Ed, an organization that trains student climate activists in fighting for divestment.

A few weeks later, Cal State Chancellor Joseph Castro announced that the university would consider divesting from fossil fuels if it was a sound financial decision, spurring student activists to action.

Divestment was already on Cal State’s radar when student activists started their work, said Robert Eaton, an investment advisory committee member and the university’s assistant vice chancellor of financing, treasury and risk management. As climate change worsens, the committee anticipates more government regulation of fossil fuel companies, which could reduce their profits and the value of their stock, making them a risky investment, Eaton said.

“Just to divest it for global warming didn’t make sense from a fiduciary responsibility for financial returns,” he said. Fossil fuel companies are also the “most logical players” to develop renewable energy in the future, and should continue to be supported, Lucki added.

Eaton said. Mutual funds that don’t contain fossil fuels haven’t existed long enough to establish a record of success, so investing in them is riskier, he said. Replacing the university’s current mutual fund investments could take years, he said.

When the university announced its decision to divest, Quaranta had a dance party in his room.

“I cannot dance, usually,” he joked. “It worked some type of miracle.”

FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES, CLIMATE CHANGE BRINGS MULTIPLE THREATS

or San Leandro or Emeryville, or other places where I have family that I can go to,” said Lopez.

She said power companies and public health officials need to give medically vulnerable families as much advance notice as possible so they can plan for rolling blackouts.

or Daisy Lopez of Oakland, preparing her five-year-old daughter, Ximena, for a day out is no easy feat.

Planning ahead is hard

On a recent morning, ahead of an all-day, outdoor birthday party at her mother’s house in San Lorenzo, Lopez checked the weather for the day – temperatures in the 70s to 80s. She laid out a white lace party dress, a custom cooling vest decorated with numerous colorful unicorns, a floral long-sleeve shirt and black leggings for the evening, and warmer pink sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt for the cooler nighttime temperatures. Lopez also packed the refrigerated formula and medications that Ximena needs to manage her various health conditions.

“I have to pack for three seasons in one bag,” said Lopez. “We have to be prepared for all sorts of weather in one day.”

Ximena, who has cerebral palsy, diabetes insipidus, epilepsy and dysautonomia, among other conditions, is particularly sensitive to heat and cold because she cannot sweat to regulate her body temperature. Lopez manages this by adding or removing layers of clothing depending on her body temperature and the weather.

That means Lopez must plan ahead anytime Ximena goes out. With the weather becoming hotter and more unpredictable as a result of climate change, Lopez said keeping her daughter’s body temperature in check is increasingly a challenge.

Climate change is a growing threat to people with disabilities, such as Ximena. Not only is the weather getting hotter, but Californians are facing more frequent wildfires, poor air quality, evacuations and power outages. These events are particularly difficult to navigate for people with complex medical conditions and those who care for them. Yet, researchers and policymakers have historically overlooked this vulnerable population when it comes to emergency planning, said Alex Ghenis, former research and policy analyst with World Institute of Disability, during a podcast last year.

Today, that’s starting to change. In the aftermath of major climate disasters, cities in California and beyond are beginning to recognize that people with disabilities and complex medical needs are at risk of getting left behind. Public officials are beginning to include the disability community in disaster planning, said Ghenis. Inclusion is one of the simplest and most effective strategies for improving how to respond to the needs of people with disabilities in times of natural disasters, he said.

It’s not just environmental disasters like wildfires that leave children with disabilities vulnerable.

The uptick in hotter days and controlled power outages leave California families with medically vulnerable children susceptible to the daily volatility of climate change, even when they’re not faced with a cataclysmic event.

Experts interviewed by the California Health Report said building resilience in the face of climate change for families with children who are medically complex requires changes to local, state, and federal policies to strengthen emergency response infrastructure, such as ensuring accessible hotel rooms are available for disabled evacuees and providing families with emergency generators or other power sources. Families themselves must also prepare safety plans for times of disaster and day-to-day weather extremes.

Out of power

Keep the car fueled up. Get a backup supply of medications. Keep a go-bag full of emergency supplies by the door. Have an exit strategy. Buy a generator.

A power outage can be a life-or-death situation for families caring for children and adults with complex medical needs.

“When people lose power, people with disabilities get stuck,” said Stuart James, director of the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley, a Bay Area-based nonprofit organization that advocates for people living with disabilities and connects them to services. James pointed out that many people living with disabilities rely on electricity to keep medications cold, power wheelchairs, harness systems, and specialty beds necessary for mobility, and to keep machines that support breathing, eating and other essential functions up and running.

“When those go down, you’re down,” James said. “It’s not good if (power is) out for hours, and it’s really bad if (it’s) out for days.”

Hot, dry weather and powerful winds caused California utility company PG&E to turn off power for millions of customers in October and November 2019. These “public safety power shutoffs,” which utility companies continue to deploy, are intended to prevent wildfires. But they can also leave medically vulnerable residents, including those with disabilities, in a precarious situation. James recalled a flood of families in Berkeley and Oakland calling the center during the 2019 outages, some experiencing lifethreatening emergencies because they lacked electricity.

“It’s not good when you’re talking to someone on the phone who is desperate, and the only solution you have is: you’re probably going to have to go to the emergency room, because there’s no place else for you to go,” James said.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has since raised concerns about how utility companies handle these power outages, including whether vulnerable residents receive adequate advance notification and assistance obtaining backup power, and about the sufficiency of information sharing with emergency responders.

After the 2019 shutoffs, for example, the CPUC criticized PG&E for withholding information from counties about residents enrolled in the company’s medical baseline program, which provides discounts on utility services to customers who depend on power for certain medical needs.

While not an official emergency response list, it’s a good indicator of who is particularly vulnerable during outages. Without that information, counties struggled to identify where people who required electricity for lifesaving devices were

located, hindering local emergency response, according to the commission.

The CPUC continues to press PG&E and other California utility providers on how they plan to mitigate risk to medically vulnerable residents during public safety power shutoffs. In an August letter, the commission’s president, Marybel Batjer, asked the state’s utility companies to project the number of public safety power shutoffs anticipated in 2021, how climate change impacts fit into the companies’ risk models, and for an update on the number of medically vulnerable residents served by each company. She also asked for information on company programs to provide back-up batteries to customers dependent on powered medical equipment.

“What is the total number of batteries that will be deployed and the timeline to achieve full deployment of the batteries?” she wrote. “Please explain in detail how you educate the customers on operating the batteries and how your company services or replaces batteries that are not working. What is the size and duration of each battery?”

PG&E offers rebates on battery-operated generators to customers in the medical baseline program who live in an eligible fire zone. However, James said this program is imperfect because it relies on families obtaining the batteries and generators themselves, and these don’t last very long before needing a charge.

Richard Skaff, executive director of Designing Accessible Communities, a Bay Area-based organization that aims to promote accessible products and design, said high-quality generators are expensive, making it difficult for many families caring for people with disabilities to afford them. A more effective solution, said James, would be for utility companies to directly provide vulnerable families with high-powered, clean battery storage systems.

For Lopez, access to power is essential for Ximena, who relies on refrigeration to keep her medications cold, air conditioning to keep the temperature at home cool and stable, and power to run her gastrostomy tube and respiratory treatments. To date, she hasn’t had to deal with a power outage, but she worries what she’d do if one occurred, particularly given the hot temperatures this summer. Lopez said if the electricity goes out, she will have to pack up Ximena’s things and go to a family member’s home who has power.

“As of right now, I don’t have a plan. Hopefully the power doesn’t also go out in San Lorenzo

These are some of the emergency planning tips healthcare experts and advocates recommended for families caring for children with disabilities. But many acknowledged these families often struggles to plan ahead because their day-to-day reality is already so challenging and unpredictable.

Families caring for children with special healthcare needs tend to face high medical and caregiving costs, which makes them more likely to live in poverty. It can be challenging to get families to think about preparing for climate change disasters when they are worried about how to buy food and medications, and pay for rent and utilities, said Kausha King, operations director of Family Resource Navigators.

Family Resource Navigators, an organization in San Leandro where Lopez works, aims to make it easier for families to get help caring for their children who are medically complex. This includes providing assistance with emergency planning. King said the organization provides an emergency preparedness checklist, and she advises families to keep an emergency backpack by the door that includes medications, personal protective equipment for COVID-19, spare batteries, and more. Family Resource Navigators distributes some supplies to families about once a month that can be used for emergencies, but each household has individual needs they must prepare for, King said.

As the mother of an adult son who is very medically complex, King said she herself has struggled to get backup medications in the past due to medical insurance restrictions. She was personally able to solve this by taking advantage of an option to request a month’s worth of medication in advance when her son transitioned from pediatric to adult care. But, she acknowledged, this solution won’t work for all families.

“I think this is something we really need to push the healthcare system on figuring out,” King said.

Another challenge is that some families don’t take the threat of climate change and natural disasters seriously and, therefore, don’t prepare, King said. “(They) are just like, ‘Oh, you know, it’ll be fine.

These things will never happen to me’,” she said.

But “the way things are going in the world right now, we don’t know.”

Back in Oakland, Lopez said she has been trying to create an emergency plan and kit for her family, but it’s a struggle. Before the pandemic, she worked with a nurse to get backup medications for Ximena. But during the COVID-19 crisis, she ended up having to use those supplies when access to her regular medications was disrupted.

For now, Lopez said she’s just focusing on the day-to-day complexities of caring for her daughter and keeping her body temperature in check, no matter what the weather – and climate change – brings.

PARA LOS NIÑOS CON DISCAPACIDADES, EL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO TRAE MÚLTIPLES AMENAZAS

P

Sara Kassabian California Health Report

“Hasta ahora, no tengo ningún plan. Ojalá no se apague la electricidad en San Lorenzo o San Leandro o Emeryville, u otros lugares donde tengo familiares con los que puedo ir”, dijo López. Dijo que las compañías eléctricas y los funcionarios de salud pública deben notificar a las familias médicamente vulnerables con la mayor anticipación posible para que puedan hacer un plan para los apagones continuos.

ara Daisy Lopez de Oakland, preparar para su día a Ximena, su hija de cinco años, no es nada fácil.

En una mañana reciente, antes de una fiesta de cumpleaños al aire libre en la casa de su madre en San Lorenzo, López verificó el clima para ese día: temperaturas entre 70 y 80 grados. Ella sacó un vestido de fiesta de encaje blanco, un chaleco refrescante personalizado decorado con numerosos unicornios de colores, una camisa floral de manga larga, leggings negros para la tarde, pants rosas más cálidos y una sudadera correspondiente para las temperaturas más frescas de la noche. López también empacó la fórmula refrigerada y los medicamentos que Ximena necesita para controlar sus diferentes condiciones de salud.

Planear con anticipación es difícil Mantengan el coche cargado de combustible. Obtengan un suministro de reserva de medicamentos. Mantengan una bolsa llena de suministros de emergencia junto a la puerta. Tengan una estrategia de salida. Compren un generador.

Estos son algunos de los consejos de planificación de emergencias que los expertos y defensores de la salud recomiendan para las familias que cuidan a niños con discapacidades. Pero muchos reconocieron que estas familias a menudo tienen dificultades para planificar el futuro porque su realidad cotidiana ya es muy desafiante e impredecible.

"Tengo que empacar para tres temporadas en una bolsa", dijo López. "Tenemos que estar preparadas para todo tipo de clima en un día".

Ximena, quien tiene parálisis cerebral, diabetes insípida, epilepsia y disautonomía, entre otros padecimientos, es particularmente sensible al calor y al frío porque no puede sudar para regular su temperatura corporal. López controla esto agregando o quitando capas de ropa dependiendo de la temperatura de su cuerpo y el clima. Eso significa que López debe planificar con anticipación cada vez que Ximena salga. Con el clima cada vez más caluroso e impredecible como resultado del cambio climático, López dijo que mantener bajo control la temperatura corporal de su hija es cada vez más desafiante.

El cambio climático es una amenaza creciente para las personas con discapacidades, como Ximena.

No solo el clima se está volviendo más caluroso, sino que los californianos enfrentan incendios forestales más frecuentes, mala calidad del aire, evacuaciones y cortes de energía. Estos eventos son particularmente difíciles de navegar para las personas con condiciones médicas complejas y para quienes los cuidan. Sin embargo, los investigadores y legisladores históricamente han pasado por alto a esta población vulnerable cuando se trata de la planificación de emergencias, dijo Alex Ghenis, ex analista de investigación y políticas del Instituto Mundial de Discapacidad, en un podcast el año pasado.

Actualmente, eso está empezando a cambiar.

Como consecuencia de los grandes desastres climáticos, las ciudades de California y más allá están comenzando a reconocer que las personas con discapacidades y necesidades médicas complejas corren el riesgo de quedarse atrás. Los funcionarios públicos están comenzando a incluir a la comunidad de personas con discapacidad en la planificación de desastres, dijo Ghenis. La inclusión es una de las estrategias más simples y efectivas para mejorar la forma de responder a las necesidades de las personas con discapacidades en tiempos de desastres naturales, dijo.

No son solo los desastres ambientales como los incendios forestales los que dejan vulnerables a los niños con discapacidades. El alza en los días más calurosos y los cortes de energía controlados dejan a las familias de California con niños médicamente vulnerables susceptibles a la volatilidad diaria del cambio climático, incluso cuando no se enfrentan a un evento cataclísmico.

Los expertos entrevistados por el Informe de salud de California dijeron que desarrollar la resiliencia frente al cambio climático para las familias con niños médicamente complejos requiere cambios en las políticas locales, estatales y federales para fortalecer la infraestructura de respuesta a emergencias, como garantizar que haya habitaciones de hotel accesibles para los evacuados discapacitados y proporcionar a las familias generadores de emergencia u otras fuentes de energía. También las propias familias deben preparar planes de seguridad para los tiempos de desastre y las condiciones climáticas extremas del día a día.

Sin energía

Photo Credit: Paco Rojas / Unsplash Un corte de energía puede ser una situación de vida o muerte para las familias que cuidan a niños y adultos con necesidades médicas complejas.

“Cuando la gente se queda sin energía, las personas con discapacidades están atrapadas”, dijo Stuart James, director del Center for Independent Living en Berkeley, una organización sin fines de lucro con sede en el Área de la Bahía que aboga por las personas que viven con discapacidades y las conecta con los servicios. James señaló que muchas personas que viven con discapacidades dependen de la electricidad para mantener fríos los medicamentos, propulsar las sillas eléctricas, sistemas de arneses y camas especiales necesarias para la movilidad, y para mantener en funcionamiento las máquinas que ayudan a respirar, comer y otras funciones esenciales.

“Si dejan de funcionar, tú dejas de funcionar”, dijo James. "No es bueno si (no hay electricidad) durante horas, y es realmente malo si (está) fuera de servicio durante días".

El clima cálido y seco y los fuertes vientos hicieron que la empresa de servicios públicos de California PG&E apagara la energía de millones de clientes en octubre y noviembre de 2019. Estos "cortes de energía de seguridad pública", que las empresas de servicios públicos continúan implementando, están destinados a prevenir incendios forestales. Pero también pueden dejar a los residentes médicamente vulnerables, incluidos aquellos con discapacidades, en una situación precaria. James recordó que muchas familias en Berkeley y Oakland llamaron al centro durante los cortes de 2019, algunas de las cuales experimentaron emergencias potencialmente mortales porque no tenían electricidad.

“No es bueno cuando hablas con alguien por teléfono que está desesperado y la única solución que tienes es: probablemente tendrás que ir a la sala de emergencias, porque no hay otro lugar al que ir” — dijo James.

Desde entonces, la Comisión de Servicios Públicos de California (CPUC) ha expresado su preocupación sobre cómo las empresas de servicios públicos manejan estos cortes de energía, incluyendo si los residentes vulnerables reciben una notificación y asistencia anticipadas adecuadas para obtener energía de respaldo, y sobre la suficiencia del intercambio de información con los servicios de emergencia.

Después de los cortes de 2019, por ejemplo, la CPUC criticó a PG&E por ocultar información a los condados sobre los residentes inscritos en el programa médico básico de la empresa, que ofrece descuentos en servicios públicos a los clientes que dependen de la energía para determinadas necesidades médicas. Si bien no es una lista oficial de respuesta a emergencias, es un buen indicador de quién es particularmente vulnerable durante las cortes. Sin esa información, los condados lucharon

por identificar dónde se ubicaban las personas que necesitaban electricidad para los dispositivos que salvan vidas, lo que obstaculiza la respuesta de emergencia local, según la comisión.

La CPUC continúa presionando a PG&E y otros proveedores de servicios públicos de California sobre cómo planean mitigar el riesgo para los residentes médicamente vulnerables durante los cortes de energía por motivos de seguridad pública. En una carta de agosto, la presidenta de la comisión, Marybel Batjer, pidió a las empresas de servicios públicos del estado que proyectaran el número de cortes de energía de seguridad pública previstos para 2021, cómo encajan los impactos del cambio climático en los modelos de riesgo de las empresas, y para obtener una actualización sobre el número de residentes médicamente vulnerables atendidos por cada empresa. También solicitó información sobre los programas de la empresa para proporcionar baterías de respaldo a los clientes que dependen de equipos médicos eléctricos. "¿Cuál es la cantidad total de las baterías que se distribuirán y el cronograma para lograr la distribución completa de las baterías?" ella escribió. “Por favor explique en detalle cómo educa a los clientes sobre el funcionamiento de las baterías y cómo su empresa repara o reemplaza las baterías que no funcionan. ¿Cuál es el tamaño y la duración de cada batería? " PG&E ofrece compensaciones en generadores que funcionan con baterías a los clientes del programa médico básico que viven en una zona de incendio calificada. Sin embargo, James dijo que este programa es imperfecto porque depende de que las familias obtengan las baterías y los generadores ellos mismos y estos no duran mucho antes de que necesiten una carga.

Richard Skaff, director ejecutivo de Designing Accessible Communities, una organización con sede en el Área de la Bahía que tiene como objetivo promover productos y diseños accesibles, dijo que los generadores de alta calidad son costosos, lo que dificulta que muchas familias que cuidan a personas con discapacidades puedan pagarlos. Una solución más eficaz, dijo James, sería que las empresas de servicios públicos proporcionen directamente a las familias vulnerables sistemas de almacenamiento de baterías limpios y de alta potencia.

Para Lopez, el acceso a la electricidad es esencial para Ximena, que depende de la refrigeración para mantener sus medicamentos fríos, el aire acondicionado para mantener la temperatura en casa fresca y estable, y energía para operar su sonda de gastrostomía y tratamientos respiratorios. Hasta la fecha, no ha tenido que lidiar con un corte de energía, pero le preocupa lo que haría si ocurriera uno, especialmente por las altas temperaturas de este verano. López dijo que si se corta la electricidad, tendrá que empacar las cosas de Ximena e ir a la casa de un familiar que tenga electricidad.

Las familias que cuidan a niños con necesidades especiales de atención médica tienden a enfrentar altos costos médicos y de cuidado, lo que las hace más propensas a vivir en la pobreza. Puede ser un desafío hacer que las familias piensen en prepararse para los desastres del cambio climático cuando están preocupadas por cómo comprar alimentos y medicamentos, y pagar la renta y los servicios, dijo Kausha King, directora de operaciones de Family Resource Navigators.

Family Resource Navigators, una organización en San Leandro donde trabaja López, tiene como objetivo facilitar que las familias obtengan ayuda para el cuidado de sus hijos que son médicamente complejos. Esto incluye brindar asistencia con la planificación de emergencias. King dijo que la organización proporciona una lista de verificación de preparación para emergencias y aconseja a las familias que mantengan una mochila de emergencia junto a la puerta que incluya medicamentos, equipo de protección personal para COVID-19, baterías de repuesto y más. Los navegadores de recursos familiares distribuyen algunos suministros a las familias aproximadamente una vez al mes que se pueden usar para emergencias, pero cada hogar tiene necesidades individuales para las que deben prepararse, dijo King.

Como madre de un hijo adulto que es muy complejo desde el punto de vista médico, King dijo que ella misma ha tenido problemas para obtener medicamentos de respaldo en el pasado debido a las restricciones del seguro médico. Ella pudo resolver esto personalmente al aprovechar una opción para solicitar un mes de medicación por adelantado cuando su hijo pasó de la atención pediátrica a la de adultos. Pero, reconoció, esta solución no funcionará para todas las familias.

“Creo que esto es algo que realmente necesitamos para impulsar al sistema de salud para que lo averigüe”, dijo King.

Otro desafío es que algunas familias no se toman en serio la amenaza del cambio climático y los desastres naturales y, por lo tanto, no se preparan, dijo King. "(Ellos) simplemente piensan, 'Oh, ya sabes, todo estará bien. Estas cosas nunca me pasarán a mí”, dijo. Pero "así como van las cosas en el mundo en este momento, no lo sabemos".

De regreso en Oakland, López dijo que ha estado intentando crear un plan de emergencia y un equipo para su familia, pero es un desafío. Antes de la pandemia, trabajó con una enfermera para obtener medicamentos de respaldo para Ximena. Pero durante la crisis de COVID-19, tuvo que usar esos suministros cuando se interrumpió el acceso a sus medicamentos habituales.

Por ahora, López dijo que solo se está enfocando en las dificultades del día a día de cuidar a su hija y mantener la temperatura de su cuerpo bajo control, sin importar el clima y el cambio climático que traiga.

"Los estudios que se han realizado muestran que cuanto mayor es el nivel de plomo, más efecto dramático puede tener en la reducción del coeficiente intelectual", explicó Tien. "Obviamente, cuanto más alto es el nivel de plomo, más aterrador. Pero encontrar incluso un nivel de 'uno' es significativo. No existe un nivel seguro de plomo".

OLUMBUS, Ohio -- There is a heightened effort this week to inform Ohio families about the dangers of a silent poison. Because lead is invisible and the damage it causes is delayed, addressing lead poisoning is tricky.

Tien señaló que el 40% de los niños de alto riesgo en Ohio no obtiene los análisis de sangre con plomo necesarios y señaló que MetroHealth Hospital mejoró sus tasas drásticamente el año pasado al hacer que los niños se hicieran pruebas durante las citas médicas, en lugar de enviar a las familias a un laboratorio.

A recent study found 5% of Ohio kids have elevated blood lead levels, which is more than double the national average.

Dr. Matthew Tien, a pediatrician at MetroHealthSystem and co-chair of the MetroHealthLead Coalition, said even low levels of lead in the body can cause problems with growth, behavior and learning.

"Studies that have been done show that the higher the lead level, the more dramatic effect it can have on lowering IQ," Tien explained. "Obviously, the higher the lead level, the more terrifying. But finding even a level of 'one' is significant. There's no known safe level of lead."

Tien pointed out 40% of high-risk kids in Ohio do not get needed lead blood tests, and noted MetroHealth Hospital improved their rates dramatically in the past year by having children tested during medical appointments, instead of sending families to a lab.

During National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, Ohioans are encouraged to have their homes and children tested for lead.

Timothy Johnson, policy associate for the Ohio Poverty Law Center and representative of the Ohio Lead Free Kids Coalition, said kids in Ohio have high levels of lead due to old housing and poverty. He explained two-thirds of houses in Ohio might contain lead.

"You will see issues like this concentrated in some

Timothy Johnson, asociado de políticas del Ohio Poverty Law Center y representante de Ohio Lead Free Kids Coalition, dijo que los niños en Ohio tienen altos niveles de plomo debido a las viviendas antiguas y la pobreza. Explicó que dos tercios de las casas en Ohio podrían contener plomo.

"Verán problemas como este concentrados en algunos centros urbanos, principalmente en vecindarios morenos y negros que han sufrido un abandono histórico", observó Johnson. Pero recae en nuestras áreas rurales el ganar en Perry Heights, las tasas son altas también ahí. Entonces, este no es solo un problema que se concentra en una parte del estado o en la otra. Es en todo el estado“.

La Coalición de Niños Libres de Plomo de Ohio ha creado un plan de acción de nueve puntos para Niños Sin Plomo para 2030.

WARNING – IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property.

You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

arrisburg, Pa. - This week marks three years since the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, where 11 people at the synagogue were killed in a targeted anti-Semitic attack. State leaders and gun-reform advocates say it's time for the General Assembly to pass what they see as common-sense gun laws.

October 2018 also was the last time the Legislature enacted gun-safety policy. Since then, 4,600 Pennsylvanians have died from gun-related injuries. In a news conference at the state Capitol, Adam Garber, CeaseFire PA's executive director, called on lawmakers to pass solutions to the state's pervasive gun-violence problem.

"We need policies to give someone a pause before they take their life, as Sen. Fontana's extreme-risk protection order does; and we need Sen. Hughes' bill, that will close a hole in our background-check system that allows rifles and assault weapons to be privately sold without a background check," Garber said, referring to Sens. Wayne Fontana, D-Brookline, and Vincent Hughes, D-Philadelphia.

"The simple fact is, we do not have to live like this."

Other proposals include a bill from Sen. Tina Tartaglione, D-Philadelphia, that requires a firearm owner to report a lost or stolen gun within 24 hours to help stop the flow of illegal firearms in the Commonwealth.

Democratic lawmakers and advocates also are concerned about current state gun legislation that's been described as "dangerous." This in-

arrisburg, Pa. - Esta semana se cumplen tres años desde el tiroteo del Árbol de la Vida en Pittsburgh, donde 11 personas murieron en la sinagoga en un ataque antisemita selectivo. Los líderes estatales y los defensores de la reforma de armas dicen que es hora de que la Asamblea General apruebe lo que ellos ven como leyes de armas de sentido común.

cludes Senate Bill 448, which would allow anyone to sue a local municipality for enacting gun-safety policies, and Senate Bill 565, which would allow anyone age 18 or older to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Sen. Anthony Williams, DPhiladelphia, said he thinks both bills leave people in possession of guns unaccountable.

"Despite public outcry and countless vigils, we'd rather - as a Legislature - not burn a moment of midnight oil on finding solutions to this cascade of death across Pennsylvania," he said. "For some here in the Senate, Republicans, the solution is easier access and more guns."

Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Allegheny County, has said Senate Bills 448 and 565 were poised to run out of committee this week, but now are postponed because of the Tree of Life anniversary.

Octubre de 2018 también fue la última vez que la Legislatura promulgó una política de seguridad de armas. Desde entonces, 4.600 habitantes de Pensilvania han muerto por lesiones relacionadas con armas de fuego. En una conferencia de prensa en el Capitolio estatal, Adam Garber, director ejecutivo de CeaseFire PA, pidió a los legisladores que aprobaran soluciones al problema generalizado de violencia armada en el estado.

"Necesitamos políticas para darle a alguien una pausa antes de que se quite la vida, como lo hace la orden de protección de riesgo extremo del senador Fontana; y necesitamos el proyecto de ley del senador Hughes, que cerrará un agujero en nuestro sistema de verificación de antecedentes que permite rifles y las armas de asalto se venderán en forma privada sin una verificación de antecedentes ", dijo Garber, refiriéndose a los senadores Wayne Fontana, demócrata de Brookline y Vincent Hughes, demócrata de Filadelfia. "El simple hecho es que no tenemos que vivir así".

Otras propuestas incluyen un proyecto de ley de la senadora Tina Tartaglione, demócrata por Filadelfia, que requiere que el propietario de un arma de fuego reporte la pérdida o el robo de un arma dentro de las 24 horas para ayudar a detener el flujo de armas de fuego ilegales en el Commonwealth.

Los legisladores y defensores demócratas también están preocupados por la actual legislación estatal sobre armas que ha sido descrita como "peligrosa". Esto incluye el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 448, que permitiría a cualquiera demandar a un municipio local por promulgar políticas de seguridad de armas, y el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 565, que permitiría a cualquier persona mayor de 18 años portar un arma de fuego oculta sin un permiso. El senador Anthony Williams, demócrata por Filadelfia, dijo que cree que ambos proyectos de ley dejan a las personas en posesión de armas sin rendir cuentas.

"A pesar de la protesta pública y las innumerables vigilias, preferimos, como Legislatura, no gastar un momento de aceite de medianoche en encontrar soluciones a esta cascada de muertes en Pensilvania", dijo. "Para algunos aquí en el Senado, los republicanos, la solución es un acceso más fácil y más armas".

El líder de la minoría del Senado, Jay Costa, demócrata del condado de Allegheny, ha dicho que los proyectos de ley 448 y 565 del Senado estaban a punto de quedarse sin comité esta semana, pero ahora se posponen debido al aniversario del Tree of Life.

ANTA FE, N.M. -- The sheriff of Santa Fe County said the projectile that killed a cinematographer on a movie set last week was a "suspected live round."

The accidental shooting of Halyna Hutchins occurred on the set of "Rust" after actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun, unaware it was loaded with "live" ammunition.

Adan Mendoza, Santa Fe County Sheriff, said during a Wednesday news conference three guns were seized from the set, and the casing from the deadly projectile is now part of the evidence.

"We regard this specific spent casing and recovered projectile to be the live round that was fired from the revolver by Mr. Baldwin," Mendoza stated. "We have recovered what we believe to be possible additional live rounds on set."

Mendoza would not speculate on how the additional rounds ended up on the movie set. Following the news conference, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham called for the entertainment industry to adopt new safety protocols, warning the state would take action if sufficient measures are not adopted.

Mendoza noted more than 600 items of evidence have been collected from the now shut-down film set.

"These include, but are not limited to, three firearms, approximately 500 rounds of munitions and several pieces of clothing and accessories," Mendoza outlined.

According to the New Mexico Film Office, the industry was coming out of a recordbreaking year prior to the pandemic, with $525 million in production expenditures in 2019. The film industry also contributes hundreds of jobs for New Mexico crew members and vendors.

ANTA FE, N.M. - El alguacil del condado de Santa Fe dijo que el proyectil que mató a un director de fotografía en un set de filmación la semana pasada fue una "presunta ronda en vivo".

El disparo accidental de Halyna Hutchins ocurrió en el set de "Rust" después de que el actor Alec Baldwin disparara una pistola de utilería, sin saber que estaba cargada con munición "real".

Adan Mendoza, alguacil del condado de Santa Fe, dijo durante una conferencia de prensa el miércoles que se incautaron tres armas del set y que la carcasa del proyectil mortal ahora es parte de la evidencia.

"Consideramos que este casquillo gastado específico y el proyectil recuperado son la bala activa que disparó el revólver por el Sr. Baldwin", dijo Mendoza. "Hemos recuperado lo que creemos que son posibles rondas adicionales en vivo en el set".

Mendoza no quiso especular sobre cómo terminaron las rondas adicionales en el set de filmación. Después de la conferencia de prensa, la gobernadora de Nuevo México, Michelle Lujan Grisham, pidió a la industria del entretenimiento que adopte nuevos protocolos de seguridad y advirtió que el estado tomaría medidas si no se adoptan las medidas necesarias.

Mendoza señaló que se han recopilado más de 600 elementos de evidencia del set de filmación ahora cerrado.

"Estos incluyen, pero no se limitan a, tres armas de fuego, aproximadamente 500 cartuchos de municiones y varias prendas de vestir y accesorios", destacó Mendoza.

Según la Oficina de Cine de Nuevo México, la industria estaba saliendo de un año récord antes de la pandemia, con $ 525 millones en gastos de producción en 2019. La industria del cine también aporta cientos de puestos de trabajo para los miembros del equipo y los vendedores de Nuevo México.
