A

más de dos semanas de las elecciones del 3 de noviembre, el presidente electo Joe Biden sigue sin ser reconocido como tal ni por el presidente Trump, ni por la mayoría de los republicanos, a pesar del grave impacto que la falta del reconocimiento de la realidad podría acarrear sobre la salud pública, en medio de una pandemia de COVID-19 fuera de control, y sobre la seguridad nacional.

Pero la rebeldía republicana no ha impedido que Biden realice lo que todo adulto responsable debe hacer bajo las circunstancias: armar a su equipo de transición para hacer frente a los grandes retos que su administración heredará a partir del 20 de enero al mediodía y, cumplir la larga lista de promesas electorales, empezando por eliminar algunas de las más draconianas acciones ejecutivas de Trump contra las minorías vulnerables.

La lista de su primer círculo de colaboradores incluye a un grupo de experimentados operadores de la política, empezando por el ex zar de la lucha contra la pandemia de ébola, Ron Klain, quien fungirá como su jefe de gabinete. Julie Chávez Rodríguez, nieta de nuestro legendario luchador social Cesar Chávez y veterana de la administración Obama, será la jefa de la oficina de asuntos intergubernamentales de la Casa Blanca.

But the Republican rebellion has not prevented Biden from doing what every responsible adult must do under the circumstances: arming his transition team to face the great challenges that his administration will inherit as of January 20 at noon, and fulfill the long list of electoral promises; starting with eliminating some of Trump's most draconian executive actions against vulnerable minorities.

His first circle of collaborators list includes a group of seasoned policy makers, starting with former Ebola pandemic czar Ron Klain, who will serve as his chief of staff. Julie Chávez Rodríguez, granddaughter of our legendary civil rights champion Cesar Chávez and a veteran of the Obama administration, will be the head of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.

Other Hispanics will belong to the close circle of White House collaborators, such as Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón, a former US ambassador to Uruguay, who will be the chief of staff to Jill Biden and Anthony Bernal, who will be a senior adviser to the first lady.

However, a coalition of the main advocacy organizations for Hispanic causes in the United States believes that it is necessary for the new Biden administration to achieve the goal of parity for Latinas and Latinos throughout the federal administration, that is, a proportion of 20% of Hispanics in the 4,000 federal designations.

The so-called “20% Project” is promoted by UnidosUS, Hispanic Federation, Mi Familia Vota, and NALEO and they plan to carry out a national campaign to involve political analysts, the media, elected officials, non-profit organizations and non-governmental leaders to request a maximum presence of Hispanic Americans as political appointees in the Biden government.

“Representation matters and is an essential step toward improving government to better serve and protect everyone in our country. The diversity of our nation is its greatest strength,” said UNIDOSUS president, Janet Murguía.

I must admit that I am interested, rather than reaching a “quota”, that the next President Biden fulfill his campaign promises to the Latino community, starting with approving an ambitious comprehensive immigration reform, with a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country.

Because meeting a quota of appointments cannot be a substitute for the new government allocating enough political capital to meet a group of voters that was key to its electoral triumph.

AS VEGAS -- More than 12,000 Nevadans are protected by DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and President-elect Joe Biden has promised on Day One he'll reverse the Trump administration's attempts to repeal it.

A federal judge ruled last week that, because the nomination of interim Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf wasn't confirmed by the Senate, Wolf didn't have the authority to reduce DACA work permits from two years to one, or close the program to first-time applicants.

Lalo Montoya, political director for the group Make the Road Nevada, is a DACA recipient and said he hopes to see a legislative proposal for immigration reform on top of reversing the recent DACA changes.

"DACA has never been a long-term solution," he said. "As someone who has it, it's really tough to plan your life in two-year increments.

It's tough -- like I, myself, this election meant my livelihood."

In addition to protecting DACA, Montoya said,

Biden has promised a deportation moratorium, protections for people seeking asylum and an end to family separations. Make the Road Nevada also is advocating for a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented people living in the United States, and for Congress to include them in a coronavirus relief package.

The CARES Act that passed in March excluded undocumented immigrants from benefits, which also prevented U.S. citizen children of undocumented parents from getting aid. Montoya's group is urging Congress to change that in the next COVID-19 relief bill. He pointed out that many undocumented workers, and those living in mixed-status households, are on the front lines of the pandemic.

Un juez federal dictaminó la semana pasada que, debido a que el Senado no confirmó la nominación del secretario interino de Seguridad Nacional Chad Wolf, Wolf no tenía la autoridad para reducir los permisos de trabajo de DACA de dos años a uno, o cerrar el programa al primero. Solicitantes de tiempo.

"Not just around reversing some policies," he said, "but literally keeping people safe from the pandemic and making sure that they're not excluded due to their legal status."

Montoya said DACA changed his life by allowing him to start a business without fear of deportation, but more comprehensive reform is needed. He said he thinks the new administration will provide an opportunity to bring folks together to fight for greater respect and dignity for immigrants.

AS VEGAS - Más de 12.000 nevadenses están protegidos por DACA, el programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia, y el presidente electo Joe Biden prometió el primer día que revertirá los intentos de la administración Trump de revocarlo.

Lalo Montoya, director político del grupo Make the Road Nevada, es un beneficiario de DACA y dijo que espera ver una propuesta legislativa para la reforma migratoria además de revertir los recientes cambios de DACA. "DACA nunca ha sido una solución a largo plazo", dijo. "Como alguien que lo tiene, es realmente difícil planificar su vida en incrementos de dos años. Es difícil, como yo mismo, esta elección significó mi sustento".

Además de proteger a DACA, dijo Montoya, Biden ha prometido una moratoria de deportación, protecciones para las

personas que buscan asilo y el fin de las separaciones familiares. Make the Road Nevada también está abogando por un camino hacia la ciudadanía para los millones de personas indocumentadas que viven en los Estados Unidos, y para que el Congreso los incluya en un paquete de ayuda para el coronavirus.

La Ley CARES que se aprobó en marzo excluyó a los inmigrantes indocumentados de los beneficios, lo que también impidió que los hijos ciudadanos estadounidenses de padres indocumentados recibieran ayuda. El grupo de Montoya está instando al Congreso a cambiar eso en el próximo proyecto de ley de alivio de COVID-19. Señaló que muchos trabajadores indocumentados y aquellos que viven en hogares de estatus mixto están en la primera línea de la pandemia.

"No sólo para revertir algunas políticas", dijo, "sino literalmente para mantener a las personas a salvo de la pandemia y asegurarse de que no sean excluidas debido a su estatus legal".

Montoya dijo que DACA cambió su vida al permitirle iniciar un negocio sin temor a la deportación, pero se necesita una reforma más integral. Dijo que cree que la nueva administración brindará la oportunidad de unir a la gente para luchar por un mayor respeto y dignidad para los inmigrantes.

The only people who should register are those who don't typically file a tax return, are not required to do so and have not yet registered, or for certain benefit recipients who got an EIP for themselves but need to provide information about a non-beneficiary spouse or qualifying child. Anyone else who normally files a tax return, including low- and moderate-income workers and families claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit or other tax benefits, cannot use the tool.

ASHINGTON – El Servicio de Impuestos Internos recordó esta semana que cualquier persona que normalmente no presenta una declaración de impuestos que tiene hasta las 3:00 p.m. hora del Este del 21 de noviembre para inscribirse con el IRS para un pago de impacto económico (EIP) La única manera restante para obtener un pago en 2020 es inscribirse mediante el uso de la herramienta Non-Filers: Enter Info Here en IRS.gov antes de la fecha límite del sábado.

Sólo deben inscribirse aquellos que normalmente no presentan una declaración de impuestos, no están obligados a hacerlo y aún no se han inscrito, o ciertos contribuyentes que reciben beneficios y obtuvieron ya un EIP, pero necesitan proporcionar información de un cónyuge no beneficiario o un hijo calificado. Cualquier otra persona que normalmente presenta una declaración de impuestos, incluidos los trabajadores de ingresos bajos y moderados y las familias que reclaman el Crédito Tributario por Ingreso del Trabajo, el Crédito Tributario por Hijos u otros beneficios tributarios, no puede usar la herramienta.

En asociación con el Departamento del Tesoro de EE. UU., la Oficina del Servicio Fiscal, la Administración del Seguro Social y el Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos y socios de la industria del software, el IRS ha emitido más de 160 millones de pagos de impacto económico por un total de más de $270 mil millones. Según la Ley de Ayuda, Alivio y Seguridad Económica por el Coronavirus (CARES), el IRS continuará emitiendo estos pagos durante las últimas semanas de 2020 y algunas personas podrían ser elegibles para reclamarlos cuando presenten su declaración de impuestos de 2020 en 2021.

Cualquiera puede verificar el estado de su pago mediante la aplicación Obtener mi pago, disponible solo en irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here. La aplicación Obtener mi pago mostrará "Estado de pago no disponible" hasta que se programe la emisión del pago. Esta respuesta no significa que una persona no sea elegible o no reciba un pago.

Pagos de impacto económico no son tributables Los pagos de impacto económico recibidos en 2020 no están sujetos a impuestos para fines del impuesto federal. Los contribuyentes pueden reclamar el crédito de reembolso por recuperación en su declaración de impuestos del año tributario 2020 en 2021 si no recibieron un pago o si su pago no fue el monto correcto. ¿No recibió un pago? Podría ser elegible para el crédito de reembolso por recuperación cuando presente sus impuestos el próximo año.

Cuando las personas presenten sus impuestos de 2020 en próximo año y no fueron elegibles para un pago de impacto económico este año, podrían ser elegibles para el Crédito de reembolso por recuperación. El Crédito de reembolso por recuperación se calcula como el pago de impacto económico, excepto que los montos se basan en el año tributario 2020, en lugar de la información del año tributario 2019 o del año tributario 2018. Los criterios de elegibilidad son los mismos y el crédito máximo es $1,200, o $2,400 si es casado que presenta una declaración conjunta, más $500 por cada hijo calificado.

ASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service reminded anyone who doesn't normally file a tax return that they have until 3 p.m. EST on Saturday, November 21, to register with the IRS for an Economic Impact Payment (EIP).

The only way remaining to get a payment in 2020 is to register using the Non-Filers: Enter Info Here tool at irs.gov/coronavirus/nonfilers-enter-payment-info-here before the Saturday deadline.

In partnership with the U.S. Treasury Department, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Social Security Administration and the Department of Veteran's Affairs and software industry partners, the IRS has issued about 160 million Economic Impact Payments totaling approximately $270 billion. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the IRS will continue issuing these payments during the final weeks of 2020, and some people may be eligible to claim them when they file their 2020 tax returns in 2021.

Anyone can check the status of their payment by using the Get My Payment application, available only on IRS.gov. The Get My Payment application will show "Payment Status Not Available" until the payment is scheduled to be issued. This response does not mean a person is not eligible or will not receive a payment.

Economic Impact Payments aren't taxable Economic Impact Payments received in 2020 are not taxable for federal income tax purposes. Taxpayers can claim the recovery rebate credit on their tax year 2020 tax return in 2021 if they didn't receive a payment or if their payment wasn't the correct amount.

Didn't receive a payment? Claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when filing a tax return next year When people file their 2020 taxes next year and they weren't eligible for an Economic Impact Payment this year, they may be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit. The Recovery Rebate Credit is figured like the Economic Impact Payment, except the amounts are based on tax year 2020, instead of tax year 2019 or tax year 2018, information.

The eligibility criteria are the same, and the maximum credit is $1,200, or $2,400 if married filing jointly, plus $500 for each qualifying child. This means anyone who received the full Economic Impact Payment amount during 2020 for both themselves and their qualifying children cannot get the credit.

The credit can be claimed on either Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR. The 2020 instructions for these forms will include a Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet to help determine eligibility and figure the credit.

HOW TO HOST A SAFE HOLIDAY MEAL: EPIDEMIOLOGIST EXPLAINS HER PERSONAL PLANS

CÓMO ORGANIZAR UNA COMIDA FESTIVA SEGURA: LA EPIDEMIÓLOGA EXPLICA SUS PLANES PERSONALES

espera son largos, obtendremos pruebas rápidas.

Pero estos son una segunda opción, ya que son menos confiables y pueden ser costosos.

ITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Like many people in this unusual year, I am adjusting my family's holiday plans so that we can all be safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Dónde y cómo comer y socializar No importa cuán cuidadosos sean usted y su familia, existe cierto riesgo de que alguien se infecte. Con eso en mente, el objetivo es reducir las condiciones que conducen a la propagación viral. Los mayores riesgos son los espacios interiores con poca ventilación, grupos grandes y contacto cercano. Así que estamos planeando lo contrario: un Día de Acción de Gracias al aire libre corto con un grupo pequeño y mucho espacio entre todos.

I am an epidemiologist and mother of four with a large extended family. Given the serious nationwide resurgence of COVID-19 infections, gatherings of family and friends over the upcoming holidays have the potential to amplify the spread of the virus. Several recent studies have further confirmed that indoor socializing at home carries a significantly higher risk of viral transmission than outdoor activities.

Health officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have warned that much of the transmission this fall is happening across all age groups at small indoor gatherings.

For the past 15 years my family tradition is to travel from Washington, D.C., along with both grandparents, to sunny Florida to celebrate Thanksgiving with cousins. This year we decided to skip the travel and will have fall and winter celebrations at home.

We are not canceling the holidays, but to keep ourselves and others safe, we are keeping plans small and flexible and remembering that the health of those we love is most important as we enter the season of gratitude.

Before you gather First, it is important that everyone who will be attending any holiday celebration is on the same page about how to take precautions before getting together. The idea is to lower infection risk in the weeks leading up to the holidays and then test to confirm.

In general, everyone should plan to be vigilant in their public health practices beforehand, especially since grandparents are at higher risk. In my family, we have agreed to limit contact with other people as much as possible the week before Thanksgiving. We have also agreed that everyone needs to be extra cautious around the few close people we see regularly.

In conjunction with quarantining, testing is the second strategy.

Research has consistently shown that people are most contagious a day or two before they show symptoms, so everyone plans to get tested with an RT-PCR test within 72 hours of Thanksgiving, while still being able to get results in hand before we gather.

If the demand for tests is high and wait times are long, we will get rapid tests. But these are a second choice, as they are less reliable and can be expensive.

Where and how to eat and socialize No matter how careful you and your family are, there is some risk that someone will be infected.

With that in mind, the goal is to reduce the conditions that lead to viral spread. The biggest risks are indoor spaces with poor ventilation, large groups and close contact. So we are planning the opposite: a short outdoor Thanksgiving with a small group and plenty of space between everyone.

To reduce the risk of infection from flying and to keep the gathering small, the only people coming to Thanksgiving at my family's home in D.C. are my mother, my aunt and my uncle - all of whom live within driving distance. This is in addition to myself, my husband and our kids. When deciding how many people will come to the holidays, keep it small and consider the amount of space you have to maintain social distancing.

The coronavirus is changing how families gather for the holidays. Photo Credit: Claudio Schwarz / Unsplash If the weather cooperates, we plan to be outside for trivia games and the turkey meal. Rather than eat around one table, we will have individual tables and place settings spaced far apart and space heaters around. I've got a mini care package planned for each guest so that everyone will have their own blanket, hand sanitizer, utensils and a festive mask.

My mother won't be helping out in the kitchen this year and, unfortunately, that goes for cleanup too.

We won't take a group picture but I will be sure to capture some of the special moments.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, Plan B is to be inside in the large family room with as many windows open as possible and with everyone spaced as far apart as possible. Being outside is safer, but if you must be indoors, improve ventilation by opening doors and windows. Consider turning on exhaust fans and using an air purifier.

Everyone who lives in the household will be in one section while my mom will have her own individual area, as will my aunt and uncle. Even though we won't hold hands before sharing the meal, we will still recite that we are "thankful for family, friends and food."

Whether outside or inside, everyone will wear masks when they aren't eating, maintain 6 feet of distance and use the hand sanitizer that I will place throughout the house.

It is also important to be mindful of alcohol consumption, as a pandemic is not the time for lowered inhibitions and bad judgment.

After the event I hope everyone enjoys the meal and quality time spent with one another in this melancholy year, but the work is not done once the dishes are clean and everyone is home safely.

Everyone is planning to get another COVID-19 test one week after the meal. Additionally, Thanksgiving is our family's trial run for Christmas, so a few days after, I plan to call everyone and discuss what worked well and what didn't. If all goes well, I hope to repeat this quarantine, test and gather process for Christmas.

The ending of 2020 deserves to be celebrated, given this difficult year. This Thanksgiving will be different from those of other years, and my kids understand they need to manage their expectations. But we still plan to uphold our tradition of writing all that we are thankful for and reading our messages aloud to one another. We will still share love, some laughs and a good meal while everyone does their part to protect one another.

ITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Como muchas personas en este año inusual, estoy ajustando los planes de vacaciones de mi familia para que todos podamos estar seguros durante la pandemia de coronavirus en curso.

Soy epidemióloga y madre de cuatro hijos con una gran familia extendida. Dado el serio resurgimiento a nivel nacional de las infecciones por COVID-19, las reuniones de familiares y amigos durante las próximas vacaciones tienen el potencial de amplificar la propagación del virus. Varios estudios recientes han confirmado además que socializar en interiores en casa conlleva un riesgo significativamente mayor de transmisión viral que las actividades al aire libre.

Los funcionarios de salud, incluido el Dr. Anthony Fauci, director del Instituto Nacional de Alergias y Enfermedades Infecciosas, advirtieron que gran parte de la transmisión de este otoño ocurre en todos los grupos de edad en pequeñas reuniones interiores.

Durante los últimos 15 años, la tradición de mi familia es viajar desde Washington, D.C., junto con ambos abuelos, a la soleada Florida para celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias con primos. Este año decidimos saltarnos el viaje y tendremos celebraciones de otoño e invierno en casa.

No estamos cancelando las vacaciones, pero para mantenernos seguros a nosotros mismos y a los demás, mantenemos los planes pequeños y flexibles y recordamos que la salud de aquellos a quienes amamos es más importante al entrar en la temporada de gratitud.

Antes de reunirte Primero, es importante que todos los que asistirán a cualquier celebración navideña estén en sintonía sobre cómo tomar precauciones antes de reunirse.

La idea es reducir el riesgo de infección en las semanas previas a las vacaciones y luego realizar pruebas para confirmar.

En general, todos deben planificar de antemano estar atentos a sus prácticas de salud pública, especialmente porque los abuelos corren un mayor riesgo. En mi familia, hemos acordado limitar el contacto con otras personas tanto como sea posible la semana anterior al Día de Acción de Gracias. También hemos acordado que todos deben ser más cautelosos con las pocas personas cercanas que vemos con regularidad.

Junto con la cuarentena, la prueba es la segunda estrategia.

Las investigaciones han demostrado constantemente que las personas son más contagiosas uno o dos días antes de mostrar síntomas, por lo que todos planean hacerse la prueba con una prueba de RT-PCR dentro de las 72 horas posteriores al Día de Acción de Gracias, y al mismo tiempo poder obtener los resultados antes de que nos reunamos.

Si la demanda de pruebas es alta y los tiempos de

Para reducir el riesgo de infección por volar y mantener una reunión pequeña, las únicas personas que vienen al Día de Acción de Gracias a la casa de mi familia en D.C. son mi madre, mi tía y mi tío, todos los cuales viven a una distancia en automóvil.

Esto es además de mí, mi esposo y nuestros hijos.

Al decidir cuántas personas vendrán a las vacaciones, manténgalo pequeño y considere la cantidad de espacio que tiene para mantener el distanciamiento social.

Si el clima coopera, planeamos estar afuera para los juegos de trivia y la comida de pavo. En lugar de comer alrededor de una mesa, tendremos mesas individuales y cubiertos separados y calefactores alrededor. Tengo planeado un mini paquete de cuidado para cada invitado para que todos tengan su propia manta, desinfectante de manos, utensilios y una máscara festiva.

Mi madre no ayudará en la cocina este año y, desafortunadamente, eso también se aplica a la limpieza. No haremos una foto de grupo, pero me aseguraré de capturar algunos de los momentos especiales.

Si el clima no coopera, el plan B es estar adentro en la sala familiar grande con tantas ventanas abiertas como sea posible y con todos los que estén lo más separados posible. Estar afuera es más seguro, pero si debe estar adentro, mejore la ventilación abriendo puertas y ventanas. Considere encender los extractores de aire y usar un purificador de aire.

Todos los que viven en el hogar estarán en una sección, mientras que mi mamá tendrá su propia área individual, al igual que mi tía y mi tío. Aunque no nos tomaremos de la mano antes de compartir la comida, seguiremos recitando que estamos "agradecidos por la familia, los amigos y la comida".

Ya sea afuera o adentro, todos usarán mascarillas cuando no estén comiendo, mantendrán 6 pies de distancia y usarán el desinfectante de manos que colocaré por toda la casa.

También es importante tener en cuenta el consumo de alcohol, ya que una pandemia no es el momento para reducir las inhibiciones y el mal juicio.

Después del evento Espero que todos disfruten de la comida y el tiempo de calidad que pasaron juntos en este año melancólico, pero el trabajo no se termina una vez que los platos están limpios y todos están en casa a salvo.

Todos planean hacerse otra prueba de COVID-19 una semana después de la comida. Además, el Día de Acción de Gracias es la prueba de Navidad de nuestra familia, así que unos días después, planeo llamar a todos y discutir qué funcionó bien y qué no.

Si todo va bien, espero repetir este proceso de cuarentena, prueba y recolección para Navidad.

El final de 2020 merece ser celebrado, dado este año difícil. Este Día de Acción de Gracias será diferente a los de otros años, y mis hijos entienden que deben manejar sus expectativas. Pero todavía planeamos mantener nuestra tradición de escribir todo aquello por lo que estamos agradecidos y leer nuestros mensajes en voz alta unos a otros. Seguiremos compartiendo amor, algunas risas y una buena comida mientras todos hacen su parte para protegerse unos a otros.

Staying Up to Date on Preventive Vaccines Even More Important during COVID-19 Pandemic

ANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF.-Health officials are asking the public to get vaccinated for influenza right now.

Each winter, people sick with flu crowd hospitals and urgent care clinics, resources that may be strained due to COVID-19.

Early and timely flu shots can prevent a disease that hospitalizes 200,000 Americans every year. To keep yourself and your family out of the hospital, doctors recommend an annual flu shot for everyone age 6 months or older.

“This is the countdown to the flu season,” said Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors President Cindy Chavez. “Santa Clara County wants to make it easy for our residents to get free flu shots at our County Fairgrounds without an appointment on Saturdays through December 12th, so we all can be protected during the pandemic.”

“You need a flu shot every year, and this is not the year to skip it,” said Dr. Sara Cody, County of Santa Clara Health Officer and director of the County Public Health Department. “The flu shot is a safe, effective way to reduce your chance of ending up in the hospital with severe flu. It is important for parents to know that it is safe to take kids into the doctor for vaccinations.”

In the Bay Area, as is the case across the state and the country, the percentage of children up to date on immunizations has fallen as parents delay routine visits to their

pediatricians, which is a serious concern.

The County of Santa Clara regularly communicates with parents about keeping kids up to date, which is required for school attendance. An annual flu shot visit is a great time for kids to catch up on vaccination.

The flu vaccine offers protection for many months, but not forever. Also, the strains of influenza circulating in the community change over time, so it is important to get the new vaccine every year.

For those with insurance, under the Affordable Care Act, a flu shot is available without cost as a preventive service from your regular doctor or most pharmacies. For those without health insurance, or anyone who finds it more convenient, free community clinics and the County offer many opportunities to get a free flu shot.

County Health System no-cost flu shot services available to the public No appointments are necessary. Masks are required. All are welcome regardless of immigration status, and language services are available.

COURT RULING, BIDEN ELECTION COULD SAVE AZ DACA RECIPIENTS

DECISIÓN JUDICIAL Y ELECCIÓN DE BIDEN PODRÍA SALVAR A LOS BENEFICIARIOS DE DACA EN ARIZONA

ESA, Ariz. -- Arizonans eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program are hopeful but cautious over a court ruling that could reverse a Trump administration policy that crippled the program.

A federal judge last week declared the appointment of Chad Wolf as interim Secretary of Homeland Security was unlawful, and he lacked authority when he limited access to work permits for thousands of so-called Dreamers.

Reyna Montoya is founder and CEO of the group Aliento Arizona and said the ruling could allow thousands of Arizonans to move on with their lives.

"This would allow us to hopefully reinstate the whole DACA program and all those 27,000 Arizona Dreamers who couldn't apply for the DACA program will have an opportunity to apply for it," Montoya said. "It would bring it back to the way that it was."

The case affects a total of 650,000 people brought into the United States as children by parents who were undocumented. Montoya warns Dreamers to be patient, since the outcome of the ruling could be delayed by an appeal.

Montoya added Arizona's Dreamers are cautiously optimistic that a Democratic administration will be moving into the White House in January. She said Dreamers are reminding President-elect Joe Biden of his promise to reverse President Donald Trump's executive orders aimed at DACA. But, she said ultimately, Biden needs to get a measure through Congress to ensure the Dreamers' future.

"So is he going to work in a bipartisan manner to ensure that we have a congressional action? Because at the end of the day, we need some permanence," Montoya said.

"And if he doesn't solve it, then we might have another president in four years again who might not like the program."

Wolf was nominated for the DHS job last summer but was never confirmed by the Senate. The New York federal judge upheld a General Accounting Office finding that Wolf does not have the statutory authority to serve as acting secretary, and his order cutting DACA work permits was invalid.

Descripción del Proyecto: La Junta Directiva de Poderes Conjuntos del Corredor de la Península (JPB), que opera el servicio de tren de pasajeros Caltrain en el Área de la Bahía de San Francisco propone el Proyecto de Reemplazo del Puente del Río de Guadalupe en la Ciudad de San José, Condado de Santa Clara, California. Caltrain opera en dos puentes sobre el Río de Guadalupe, el puente 1935 MT-1 y el puente 1990 MT-2, cada uno soporta una sola vía. El propósito del proyecto es abordar las deficiencias estructurales del puente MT-1, así como la inestabilidad geomórfica del canal del Río de Guadalupe en las cercanías de los puentes MT-1 y MT-2 con la intención de brindarle al público un servicio fiable y seguro a largo plazo. Los elementos más relevantes del proyecto incluyen el remplazo del puente 1935 MT-1 con una nueva estructura de concreto prefabricado de 265 pies, extendiendo el extremo sur por 90 pies y ensanchando el canal del río para reducir el riesgo de socavación y problemas de fallas en el banco del río durante tormentas. La construcción del proyecto se llevará a cabo en etapas con el fin de mantener los servicios de tren existentes, y se estima que tomará aproximadamente dos años. Se planea comenzar la construcción en primavera del 2022 y terminarla en verano del 2024.

Declaratoria Negativa Mitigada: De acuerdo a la Ley de Calidad Medioambiental de California (CEQA) y las pautas CEQA, el JBP preparó un borrador de Estudio Inicial/Declaratoria Negativa Mitigada (IS/ MND) para el Proyecto de Reemplazo de Puente del Río de Guadalupe. Basado en el estudio inicial, el personal determinó que el proyecto no tendrá un impacto significativo en el medio ambiente con la implementación de medidas de mitigación como se estableció en el Borrador IS/MND. Periodo de Comentarios Públicos: Del 20 de Noviembre al 21 de Diciembre del 2020. Se hace la invitación al público y a las agencias a analizar el IS/MND y enviar sus comentarios escritos.

secretario interino de Seguridad Nacional era ilegal, y carecía de autoridad cuando limitó el acceso a permisos de trabajo para miles de los llamados Dreamers.

Reyna Montoya es fundadora y directora general del grupo Aliento Arizona y dijo que el fallo podría permitir que miles de arizonenses sigan adelante con sus vidas.

"Esto nos permitiría restablecer todo el programa DACA y todos esos 27,000 Arizona Dreamers que no pudieron solicitar el programa DACA tendrán la oportunidad de solicitarlo", dijo Montoya. "Lo devolvería a la forma en que era".

El caso afecta a un total de 650.000 personas traídas a Estados Unidos cuando eran niños por padres indocumentados. Montoya advierte a los Dreamers que tengan paciencia, ya que una apelación podría retrasar el resultado del fallo.

Montoya agregó que los Dreamers de Arizona son cautelosamente optimistas de que una administración demócrata se mudará a la Casa Blanca en enero. Ella dijo que los Dreamers le recuerdan al presidente electo Joe Biden su promesa de revertir las órdenes ejecutivas del presidente Donald Trump dirigidas a DACA. Pero, dijo en última instancia, Biden necesita obtener una medida en el Congreso para garantizar el futuro de los Dreamers.

"Entonces, ¿va a trabajar de manera bipartidista para asegurar que tengamos una acción en el Congreso? Porque al final del día, necesitamos algo de permanencia", dijo Montoya. "Y si no lo resuelve, entonces podríamos tener otro presidente en cuatro años de nuevo al que no le gustará el programa".

Wolf fue nominado para el puesto en el DHS el verano pasado, pero el Senado nunca lo confirmó. El juez federal de Nueva York confirmó una conclusión de la Oficina de Contabilidad General de que Wolf no tiene la autoridad legal para desempeñarse como secretario interino, y su orden de recortar los permisos de trabajo de DACA no era válida.

BEZOS EARTH FUND AYUDARÁ A PROTEGER EL BOSQUE 'EMERALD EDGE' DEL NOROESTE

BEZOS EARTH FUND TO HELP PROTECT NW'S 'EMERALD EDGE' FOREST

EATTLE - The Nature Conservancy ha sido elegido como uno de los primeros receptores en beneficiarse del fondo de $ 10 mil millones de Jeff Bezos para combatir el cambio climático. El Bezos Earth Fund está contribuyendo con $ 100 millones a la organización, de los cuales $ 20 millones se destinarán a su proyecto para proteger los bosques primarios en el noroeste.

El Emerald Edge, que se extiende desde el estado de Washington hasta el sureste de Alaska, es el bosque lluvioso templado intacto más grande de la Tierra. El director del estado de Washington de The Nature Conservancy, Mike Stevens, dijo que esta región es fundamental para almacenar carbono, una solución natural al cambio climático.

"Hasta un tercio de las reducciones y el secuestro de emisiones que necesitamos hacer se puede realizar a través de la naturaleza", dijo Stevens.

Parte de los fondos se utilizará para proteger 250.000 acres de bosques primarios en la isla de Vancouver en Columbia Británica, que según The Nature Conservancy conservará más de 47 millones de toneladas de carbono en pie y secuestrará 3,5 millones de toneladas de dióxido de carbono.

Tyson Atleo es el líder de desarrollo económico de la organización para su programa Emerald Edge. Dijo que restablecer los derechos y responsabilidades de las comunidades indígenas para administrar sus tier-

ras y aguas traerá éxito en la conservación a largo plazo.

"Las personas que están más cerca de esos recursos y se preocupan profundamente por ellos y son profundamente dependientes de esos recursos naturalmente tienen un interés personal en asegurar la preservación de esos recursos naturales a largo plazo", dijo Atleo.

Christine Woll es directora de programas del sureste de Alaska para The Nature Conservancy. Dijo que los bosques de su región podrían secuestrar incluso más carbono del que sabemos actualmente. Dijo que por eso es importante proteger las áreas en riesgo de ser taladas y al mismo tiempo considerar a las personas que viven en la región.

"Esperamos que este obsequio realmente pueda ampliar el trabajo que hemos estado haciendo con las comunidades para apoyar medios de vida alternativos que ayuden a aliviar parte de la presión de esa cosecha antigua para que podamos proteger esos bosques pero mantener los empleos en estas comunidades". "Dijo Woll.

The Nature Conservancy también está financiando esfuerzos para reducir la huella de carbono de las prácticas agrícolas en India. El Bezos Earth Fund anunció otros 15 beneficiarios, incluidos el Fondo de Equidad para el Clima y Energía Limpia, el Fondo de Defensa Ambiental y el Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza.

EATTLE -- The Nature Conservancy has been chosen as one of the first recipients to benefit from Jeff Bezos' $10 billion fund to fight climate change. The Bezos Earth Fund is contributing $100 million to the organization, $20 million of which will go to its project to protect oldgrowth forests in the Northwest.

The Emerald Edge, which extends from Washington state to southeast Alaska, is the largest, intact temperate rainforest on Earth. The Nature Conservancy's Washington state director Mike Stevens said this region is critical for storing carbon - a natural solution to climate change.

"Up to a third of the emissions reductions and sequestration that we need to do can be done through nature," Stevens said.

Part of the funds will be used to protect 250,000 acres of old-growth forest on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, which The Nature Conservancy says will conserve more than 47 million tons of standing carbon and sequester 3.5 million tons of

The Nature Conservancy is partnering with indigenous and First Nations people to preserve the Emerald Edge. Tyson Atleo is the organization's economic development lead for its Emerald Edge program. He said reinstating the rights and responsibilities of indigenous communities to steward their lands and waters will bring long-term conservation success.

"The people that are closest to those resources and care deeply about it and are deeply dependent on those resources naturally have a vested interest in ensuring the preservation of those natural resources over the long term," Atleo said.

Christine Woll is southeast Alaska program director for The Nature Conservancy. She said forests in her region could sequester even more carbon than we currently know. She said that's why it's important to protect areas at risk of being logged while also considering the people living in the region.

"We're hoping this gift can really scale up the work we've been doing with communities on supporting alternative livelihoods that help take some of that pressure off that old-growth harvest so we can protect those forests but keep jobs in these communities," Woll said.

The Nature Conservancy also is funding efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of farming practices in India. The Bezos Earth Fund announced 15 other recipients, including the Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund, Environmental Defense Fund and World Wildlife Fund.

WILL HARDEST HIT COMMUNITIES GET COVID-19 VACCINES? or who have been hit hardest by the pandemic, he said.

Jha predicted 100,000 more deaths from COVID in the U.S. before the new Biden-Harris administration is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021. “We are in the worst moment of the pandemic right now.”

Dr. Nirav Shah, adjunct professor of medicine in the Division of Primary Care and Population Health at Stanford University stated: “We need to do this in a more structured and standardized way as opposed to the thousand points of light approach where every state, every city is doing something on their own. Simple coordination, using evidence-based approaches, will make a big difference here.”

he U.S. is weeks away from rolling out COVID vaccines, but pandemic experts say the challenges of vaccinating people will be acute, especially in communities of color.

“Vaccines don’t save lives: vaccinations do,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, speaking at a Nov. 13 briefing organized by Ethnic Media Services and moderated by Dr. Tung Nguyen, professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

“There's a huge challenge from a supply chain perspective to getting the vaccines out,” said Jha, noting that the vaccines will have to be stored and delivered frozen. More challenging is “vaccine hesitancy,” especially in communities of col-

El Observador - Quarter Page 5.1x5.75.indd 2

Dr. William Schaffner, professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University, agreed that vaccine delivery would pose enormous challenges. “This is not a vaccine that will be available at the local pharmacy or in a physician's office,” he said.

Schaffner also noted that the vaccine is reactive: people taking it may experience a sore arm, fever, or headaches. Nguyen warned that such side effects could increase people’s distrust of the vaccine, and deter them from getting the shot.

Skepticism of the vaccine is strong in the African American community and other ethnic communities, said Schaffner. “So we're going to have to do everything we can to reach out and provide information and also provide reassurance,” he said, noting that much of the work will have to be done through churches or by prominent leaders in ethnic communities.

Pfizer and Germany-based BioNTech announced Nov. 9 that they had jointly developed

11/5/2020 12:40:28 PM

a vaccine with an efficacy rate of 90 percent.

The study enrolled 43,538 participants, with 42 percent coming from diverse backgrounds. The companies have submitted an application for emergency use authorization to the Food and Drug Administration. The application is expected to be approved by the end of November.

Concurrently, Moderna announced the results of its trial Nov. 16 which had an efficacy rate of 94 percent. Approximately 37 percent of the participants in the Moderna trial were people of color.

Jha noted that a 90 percent efficacy rate for the Pfizer vaccine was astounding. “I was speaking at a conference and saying that we will be lucky if the vaccine is 60 to 70 percent effective. A 90 percent efficacy was not what I was expecting and am I happy to be wrong on that,” he said.

“We're not just testing it in 18 to 30 year old white men and women, but in fact we're testing it in a broad swath of America,” said Jha, noting that the Moderna trial was delayed as the company tried to diversify its testing recruits.

Shah said the news from Pfizer, which indicated efficacy of the vaccine with just two doses, was an enormous step in the right direction. But once the vaccine is approved with by the FDA with emergency use authorization, it is unlikely that most people will be able to get vaccinated right away. A maximum of 10 to 20 million doses will be available by the end of the year, he said.

“There will be a ramp up after that, but it is going to be some time before we get the kind of widespread availability of multiple vaccines with secure supply chains that get everyone the two doses,” said Shah.

Schaffner said treatment for people infected with

COVID is getting better. “We're doing a better job of getting people out of the Intensive Care Unit and out of the hospital; we are lowering the fatality rate.”

He also spoke about the use of the antiviral medication Remdesivir, which was approved last month by the FDA, and dexamethasone, a steroid that helps control the inflammatory response during the second half of the infection.

Monoclonal antibodies also received emergency use authorization Nov. 9, but Schaffner said the intravenous treatment poses a challenge as to who should get those and at what stage of the infection.

All four physicians agreed that a coordinated effort by the incoming administration — as opposed to the current patchwork quilt of efforts — would help the U.S. get the pandemic under control. Jha said he was astounded that some states have closed their schools but opened their casinos.

He noted that the President-elect has no formal powers yet, but can use his soft powers to go out to red states and let people know why wearing a mask is effective.

Nguyen said the Biden Administration must impose a national mandatory mask mandate. “If we all had worn masks in the last seven months, we would have 100,000 less deaths,” he stated.

“We do not have a silver bullet,” said Shah. “Testing alone won’t work. Contact tracing alone won’t work. Physical distancing alone won't work.

Wearing masks alone won't work.”

“But all of these together will collectively bring us to where we need to be, so that we actually see cases go down,” he said.

Al mismo tiempo, Moderna anunció los resultados de su ensayo el 16 de noviembre que tuvo una tasa de eficacia del 94 por ciento. Aproximadamente el 37 por ciento de los participantes en el ensayo de Moderna eran personas de color.

Jha señaló que una tasa de eficacia del 90 por ciento para la vacuna Pfizer era asombrosa. “Hablé en una conferencia y dije que tendremos suerte si la vacuna tiene una efectividad del 60 al 70 por ciento.

Una eficacia del 90 por ciento no era lo que esperaba y estoy feliz de estar equivocado en eso”, dijo.

"No solo lo estamos probando en hombres y mujeres blancos de 18 a 30 años, sino que de hecho lo estamos probando en una amplia franja de Estados Unidos", dijo Jha, y señaló que el juicio de Moderna se retrasó porque la compañía intentó diversificar sus reclutas de prueba.

Schaffner dijo que el tratamiento para las personas infectadas con COVID está mejorando. “Estamos haciendo un mejor trabajo para sacar a las personas de la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos y del hospital; estamos reduciendo la tasa de mortalidad ".

También habló sobre el uso del medicamento antiviral Remdesivir, que fue aprobado el mes pasado por la FDA, y dexametasona, un esteroide que ayuda a controlar la respuesta inflamatoria durante la segunda mitad de la infección.

Los anticuerpos monoclonales también recibieron autorización de uso de emergencia el 9 de noviembre, pero Schaffner dijo que el tratamiento intravenoso plantea un desafío en cuanto a quién debe recibirlos y en qué etapa de la infección.

Los cuatro médicos estuvieron de acuerdo en que un esfuerzo coordinado por parte de la administración entrante, a diferencia del actual mosaico de esfuerzos, ayudaría a los Estados Unidos a controlar la pandemia. Jha dijo que estaba asombrado de que algunos estados hayan cerrado sus escuelas pero abrieron sus casinos.

The orders end on the expiration date in item 4 on page 1. If no date is listed, they end three years from the hearing date.

Code, 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6.

(Family Code, 6833.)

Consider the restrained person “served” (notified) if: - The officer sees a copy of the Proof of Service or confirms that the Proof of Service is on file; pr - The restrained person was at the restraining order hearing or was informed of the order by an officer.

ilian Arias es un joven escritor quien a sus treinta y tres años de edad, ya cuenta con ocho libros publicados. Es el autor de la obra “Melanie Los Ojos del Amor”, obra que ha sido muy apreciada por los lectores, la cual ha sido presentada en Teatro, en Los Ángeles. Wilian es originario de El Sauce, un pueblo de la provincia La Unión, en El Salvador.

El autor nos comentó lo difícil que ha sido para él, abrirse campo en el mundo literario, es todo un reto que ha sabido sobrellevar. Sus historias son mayormente de fantasía, romance, magia y hechos sobrenaturales. Wilian tiene la certeza que el mundo entero necesita un toque de fantasía, para hacer más ligera la carga emocional que enfrentamos ante tanta negatividad que ocurre actualmente en nuestro planeta.

El autor llegó de El Salvador en plena adolescencia, “Ha sido un tiempo complicado, la vida del inmigrante es bastante difícil al principio, sin embargo; todo esfuerzo tiene su recompensa".

Wilian se siente muy agradecido con este país, con los Estados Unidos. Acá ha podido realizar su sueño de convertirse en autor. Ha encontrado las oportunidades que le han abierto un espacio como escritor. Entre sus libros más destacados están: La Novia de Negro, Amor sin Cara, El Secreto de la Princesa Leah, Dos Veces Princesa y su obra más popular "Melanie Los Ojos del Amor”. “Melanie The Eyes of Love”. Obra también disponible en inglés. Varias de sus obras han sido llevadas al Teatro, en dónde han recibido mucho apoyo por parte de la comunidad. Las obras del autor se pueden adquirir a través de Amazon y Barnes & Noble.

Wilian ya está preparando dos nuevas obras que serán publicadas durante el próximo año.

También cuenta en su repertorio con obras de suspenso y de terror.

Arias nos relató que una de sus principales inspiraciones al escribir, es el amor y el respeto por la naturaleza y el medio ambiente. Tema de inspiración para su obra “El Secreto de la Princesa Leah”. Historia que nos deja una hermosa enseñanza que nos hace reflexionar sobre el maltrato y negligencia que sufren los animales y la naturaleza en general. Situación que debe mejorar por el bien mismo de la Tierra y de la misma humanidad. Wilian nos revela que el secreto para lograr nuestras metas en la vida es <la persistencia>, y sobre todo; creer en nuestros sueños, creer en nuestras cualidades

y habilidades, y nunca desistir de nuestros propósitos.

Cuando las obras teatrales reanuden sus presentaciones, tendremos sorpresas de este autor, nos reveló que dos de sus obras serán puestas en escena para deleite de los amantes del Teatro. En una de esas obras actuarán dos actrices mexicanas reconocidas por su trayectoria. Wilian expresó que su principal motivación es hacer lo que le gusta, escribir; crear historias que hagan volar la imaginación de los lectores, y al mismo tiempo crear conciencia social. Wilian Arias es un ejemplo de lucha y perseverancia, una promesa para el mundo literario.

POLL: WHITE AMERICANS UNAWARE OF POLLUTION IMPACTS IN DISADVANTAGED AREAS ENGLISH identified as Black said they were very concerned about air-pollution exposure in their community versus 32% of white adult respondents.

Juan Parras, executive director for Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services said unless you live in a neighborhood with high levels of pollution, you're unlikely to know the difference.

He added people often lack understanding even if they recognize the privileges afforded by culture and circumstances.

"And then some that do, they don't blame it on the environment," Parras observed. "They blame it on the people themselves, thinking, 'Well, why don't they move out?' 'Why don't they move out to a better community?' It's all a matter, I think, of education and understanding."

USTIN, Texas -- When high pollution levels occur in a neighborhood, residents are likely to be Black or Latino families, and a new survey finds many white Americans are unaware of the disparity.

Nelson Leary said the poll found 51% of Black respondents and 48% of Latino respondents believe environmental injustice is a major problem in the U.S., while only 33% of white adult respondents agree.

Elise Nelson Leary, manager of campaigns and partnerships for the Environmental Defense Fund said the national poll conducted for the group found fewer than four in 10 white adults know minority neighborhoods often aren't like their own.

"We wanted to use this poll to get a pulse of how people were seeing these issues," Nelson Leary explained. "And so this poll really again was to collect that data and to really understand how we can better talk about environmental justice."

She noted pollution and contaminants are far more likely to be detected in Black, Latino and low-income neighborhoods.

The survey also shows concern about climate change and its impact on the economy is more prevalent among Black and Latino respondents than white respondents.

"Low-income communities and communities of color have endured disproportionate harm from climate change," Nelson Leary contended.

She added 60% of U.S. respondents to the poll who

USTIN, Texas - Cuando ocurren altos niveles de contaminación en un vecindario, es probable que los residentes sean familias negras o latinas, y una nueva encuesta encuentra que muchos estadounidenses blancos no son conscientes de la disparidad.

Elise Nelson Leary, gerente de campañas y asociaciones del Fondo de Defensa Ambiental, dijo que la encuesta nacional realizada para el grupo encontró que menos de cuatro de cada 10 adultos blancos saben que los vecindarios minoritarios a menudo no son como los suyos.

Señaló que es mucho más probable que se detecten contaminación y contaminantes en vecindarios negros, latinos y de bajos ingresos.

"Las comunidades de bajos ingresos y las comunidades de color han sufrido daños desproporcionados por el cambio climático", sostuvo Nelson Leary.

"Y algunos que sí lo hacen, no le echan la culpa al medio ambiente", observó Parras. "Ellos culpan a la gente misma, pensando, 'Bueno, ¿por qué no se mudan?' '¿Por qué no se mudan a una comunidad mejor?' Creo que todo es cuestión de educación y comprensión ".
