ore than 300 union members, elected officials and supporters marched through downtown Riverside on Monday for the Inland Empire Labor Council’s inaugural Labor Day Parade and Unity Picnic, calling for living wages, stronger workplace protections and a greater worker voice as artificial intelligence reshapes the economy. The Sept. 7 parade began at Magnolia Avenue and Ramona Drive and ended at Main and 12th streets before participants gathered at White Park. Marchers danced to music from a DJ and chanted, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Medicaid cuts have got to go.” Speakers tied the celebration to the quality of local jobs, rising living costs, Medicaid changes, extreme heat and resistance to union organizing.

have good health care benefits that all of us need.” Rep. Mark Takano, a Riverside Democrat, identified heat exposure, union recognition and workforce development as urgent concerns. Effective heat standards and enforcement are especially important for warehouse employees, he said.
Shaw called for Congress to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, known as the PRO Act, saying workers need consistent national organizing protections.
Takano also warned that Congress is moving too slowly to address artificial intelligence’s potential effect on jobs and wages.
Shaw also rejected the idea that warehouse growth automatically creates economic security. Concerns about pay, benefits and working conditions have led some employees to organize despite fearing retaliation, she said.
“I’m afraid to say that the conversations aren’t happening fast enough,” Takano said. “AI is moving at breakneck speed.” He said he is working to reestablish the Office of Technology Assessment, giving Congress access to independent experts.

Labor Day Parade (cont.) - hour workweek proposal in response to automation and rising productivity. The proposal would lower the federal overtime threshold for nonexempt employees from 40 hours to 32. It would not prohibit employees from working more than 32 hours. “I believe that technology should serve humanity, not the other way around,” Takano said. “All Americans, all workers, should share in the gains that technology brings us.” Riverside City Councilmember Sean Mill, who represents Ward 5, said jobs attracted to the region must offer living wages and meaningful benefits. Too many families depend on multiple incomes simply to afford rent, he said. “It’s an affordability crisis,” Mill said. “We need to make sure that the jobs we are bringing to the Inland Empire, to the city of Riverside, pay a livable wage.” Mill recalled that his father’s union job at Pacific Bell allowed their family to own a home and meet its basic needs. “What made America great was the middle class,” Mill said. “Average workingclass people being able to afford to live in our country.” Mill said the idea for the local celebration emerged during lunch with Ricardo Cisneros, who asked why the Inland Empire did not have its own Labor Day parade. Mill then took the proposal to former Riverside City Manager Mike Futrell and began working with city staff. The aim, Mill said, was to let Inland Empire workers celebrate near home instead of traveling to established Labor Day events elsewhere in Southern California. Desmond Prescott, District 3 chair for United Domestic Workers, highlighted home care and child care providers whose labor often takes place outside public view. UDW represents more than 250,000 workers statewide, including more than 42,000
in Riverside County, he told attendees. “You may not always see their work, but America could not function without it,” Prescott said. “Care is labor, and care workers are workers.”
Inland Film Festival Spotlights Inland Empire Identity and Overlooked Local Stories
Prescott said federal Medicaid changes could put additional pressure on home care services. A federal law enacted in 2025 changed Medand financing icaid eligibility and established work requirements for certain adults beginning in 2027, with exemptions that include some family caregivers and medically frail people. Robert Gonzalez, communications coordinator for Teamsters Local 1932, urged elected officials and community members to support workers seeking union contracts. “The fight to unionize Amazon is all of our fight,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez was referring to a one-day unfair labor practice strike Sept. 2 at Amazon’s DJT6 delivery station near March Air Reserve Base. Teamsters said both primary shifts participated, marking the third walkout since workers launched their union drive in December 2025. The union said a majority of DJT6 warehouse employees signed authorization cards in December and accused Amazon of retaliation and refusing to negotiate. The materials did not include a response from Amazon. Gonzalez also said elected officials who seek union endorsements should be willing to join workers on picket lines. Shaw closed her comments with an appeal to workers who are not union members or are unfamiliar with organized labor. “All of the things that you enjoy today as a worker is because a union fought for it,” Shaw said. “Don’t let the corporations and the naysayers tell you that without a union, you are better off.”

quently emphasized in mainstream entertainment.
rom Moreno Valley liquor stores and Hemet mobile homes to the pressures confronting young athletes, Inland Empire filmmakers are bringing distinctly local people, places and experiences to the big screen.
“Sometimes I feel like our stories have to be tragic for them to be worth being in Hollywood,” he said. “Not all of our stories are tragic. Some of our stories are funny. Some of our stories are serious, but not necessarily tragic.”
More than 80 filmmakers gathered at KVCR Public Media for the Inland Film Festival’s 2026 Nominee Reveal and Mixer, celebrating projects rooted in communities and experiences often overlooked by Hollywood.
Adriana Garcia, a Jurupa Hills High School student from Fontana, brought a different concern to the festival through “Pressure to Perform,” a documentary examining how intense expectations affect young athletes.
Arts Connection hosted the Sept. 4 event ahead of Screening Day for the third annual Inland Film Festival, scheduled for Oct. 17 from noon to 8 p.m. at Regal Cinemas, 450 N. E St. in downtown San Bernardino. Inland Empire Community News is a media sponsor of the festival.
Garcia directed and produced the project through KVCR’s 10 Weeks of Film program, working primarily with fellow student Alan Torres. She drew its central idea from playing sports and observing changes in her younger brother.
The screening will feature emerging and established filmmakers representing a range of stories and perspectives. Before the nominees were announced, participants discussed the experiences behind their work and the importance of building a stronger regional film community. For Christian De Leon Gonzalez, that identity can be found in familiar Moreno Valley locations, including a liquor store, a bus stop near March Air Reserve Base and a park behind Moreno Valley College. Those settings became the backdrop for “You Got a Light?,” his short film about a man searching for a lighter after a difficult day. Beneath its stoner-comedy premise, the story follows a character struggling to open up about what is happening in his life. De Leon Gonzalez said he tried to capture “the weirdness of the IE” and the uniqueness of the people who live there. Compared with some of his experiences working in Los Angeles, he said the Inland Empire “just feels genuine.” The film also reflects his desire to portray people of color beyond the tragedies and stereotypes fre-
Garcia said her brother initially dreamed of becoming a professional athlete, but his attitude shifted as winning became increasingly important to his team and coach. Garcia said her brother was being raised with the message that “if you don’t win, then you’re not enough.” Watching that change frustrated her because, she said, “he is enough.” The documentary asks adults to reconsider placing such intense pressure on children who are still developing. Garcia said festivals provide an entry point for emerging artists who may not know how to present their work or meet other creators. Events like this give lesser-known artists a chance “to speak up,” she said, describing them as “a stepping stone” for people trying to grow. Representation also drives filmmakers Lizbeth Calleja and Mayra Cortez, whose project, “Tú y Yo,” follows Latino characters of different generations navigating love, family and personal change in a Hemet mobile home community. “I want to see people who look like my neighbors, people who I grew up around,” Calleja said. “I want to see them on the big
screen.” Because Latinos remain underrepresented in the industry, Calleja said she values opportunities to cast performers with backgrounds similar to her own and tell stories drawn from those communities. Cortez said the production included local residents and crew members and was written “out of love” for Hemet, rather than through negative perceptions of the city. One character rejects the idea that a fulfilling future requires leaving the Inland Empire for Los Angeles. Cortez said “sharing love for the IE is representation” because many people approach the region with the attitude that “it’s not L.A., so it’s not great.” Colton animator Adriannah Quiroz said the festival introduced her to a creative community she did not know existed when she moved from Mississippi nearly five years ago. Her roughly three-minute film, “I Thought of This One in My Car,” grew from images she imagined while listening to music and storyboards she had kept for years. Quiroz said the festival offered a chance to step beyond the isolation of animation and connect with other artists. Quiroz said she wanted to “see what other people are doing,” broaden her horizons and become part of the filmmaking community. For the filmmakers, those connections demonstrate that the Inland Empire is becoming a creative center with its own voices, stories and production opportunities. “This is the future of Hollywood,” Cortez said. “This is Hollywood right now.” Get tickets to the 2026 Inland Film Festival Screening here: givebutter.com/iff-2026-screening-day

Riverside Arrests 17 Individuals Occupying Encampment at Fairmount Park By Connor Lālea Hampton
F
our City of Riverside public agencies coordinated an enforcement operation, leading to the arrest of 17 individuals at a Fairmount Park encampment near downtown Riverside Sept. 2. The 17 individuals were taken into custody by Riverside Police Department for various violations, including illegal camping, outstanding warrants, probation violations and trespassing, according to authorities. The organizations involved in the operation include Riverside Public Safety and Engagement Team, Riverside Police Department, Riverside Code Enforcement, Riverside County Department of Animal Services and Parks and Neighborhood Specialists. During the operation, personnel contacted individuals occupying encampments located near the playground and carousel areas. This investi-
gation is what led officers to take the 17 individuals into custody. Of the 17 arrests, seven were felony arrests and 10 were misdemeanor arrests. 14 individuals were booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center, 2 were cited and then transported to a local hospital for medical care and 1 individual was cited and released at the scene. Their identities were not disclosed. After the operation, Riverside Code Enforcement cleaned the area by removing abandoned property, trash, rubbish, debris, drug paraphernalia and other encampment-related materials. Public Information Officer Steven Espinosa said this was an effort to restore the area to a cleaner and safer condition. Espinosa said Riverside Police Department, along with the other agencies involved in the operation, will continue to address illegal encampments through coordinated enforcement, outreach and by reducing hazards or illegally dumped material on city property.

The multi-agency crackdown also involved the removal of unauthorized facilities, according to authorities.

trial fibrillation—a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)—is a leading contributor to stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. The stakes are significant: medical research shows that AFib carries a five-fold increase in the risk of stroke. In recognition of AFib Awareness Month this September, Dignity Health St Bernardine Medical Center wants community members to know the critical importance of early diagnosis and the comprehensive cardiovascular services available to support patient health. "At Dignity Health, we view early and accurate detection as the cornerstone of clinical excellence," said Dr Mir Wasif Ali, Chief of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at St Bernardine Medical Center . "Because AFib can sometimes be silent, many patients may not realize they are at risk until a serious event occurs. Our mission is to ensure our community recognizes the signs—such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, or fatigue—and knows that our expert cardiac teams are here to provide world-class, personalized care." Dignity Health’s cardiovascular programs are recognized for their
clinical excellence, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and evidence-based practices to diagnose and treat complex rhythm disorders. From advanced electrophysiology labs to minimally invasive procedures like catheter ablation, Dignity Health provides a comprehensive continuum of care that prioritizes patient safety and improved long-term outcomes. "Being a leader in cardiovascular care means going beyond treatment; it means partnering with our patients on their health journey through education and proactive management," added Dr Ali. "We encourage everyone, particularly those with risk factors like high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease, to talk to their physician about their heart rhythm. Early intervention can be the difference between a life-altering stroke and a healthy, active future." Throughout September, Dignity Health St Bernardine Medical Center is providing educational resources to help the community better understand heart health and the specialized cardiovascular services available across our Southern California locations.

Amazon Workers at Riverside DJT6 Plan Strike Over Pay, Working Conditions dinated unfair labor practice strike activity, according to the union.
Community News
A
mazon warehouse workers at the company’s DJT6 delivery station in Riverside are planning to walk off the job Wednesday as part of a labor dispute over wages, working conditions and allegations of unfair labor practices.
Night-shift workers previously walked off the job when announcing the facility’s union organizing effort in December 2025. Workers also held a strike in January following the termination of a union organizer, an action the Teamsters alleged was retaliation for union activity.
Workers organizing with Teamsters Local 1932 say Amazon has intimidated employees involved in union organizing and has failed to negotiate with workers seeking union representation.
“Amazon is a very wealthy company that has proven to have no respect for the people who keep it running,” DJT6 worker Kain Kazsuk said. “In Riverside, at DJT6, we have had enough, and we will fight this company until Amazon follows the law and negotiates a union contract that provides fair pay and safe working conditions.”
“Hundreds of coworkers and I have been speaking up as Teamsters for fair pay and a safer workplace, which Amazon does not provide at the moment,” DJT6 worker Emmanuel Cadena said. “The company has responded to our reasonable demands with illegal intimidation, so now we are on strike to defend our rights.”
“The development of the Arden Guthrie property represents a significant opportunity to attract new private investment, create jobs, expand commercial amenities and generate additional tax revenue for San Bernardino,” Mayor Helen Tran said. “We look forward to working with Panorama Development.” Panorama Development has developed and managed commercial properties throughout the Inland Empire. Its projects include the 31-acre Shops at Jurupa Valley in Jurupa Valley and Day Creek Square in Rancho Cucamonga. The Arden Guthrie property is near Yaamava’ Resort & Casino and the San Bernardino Soccer Complex and is adjacent to the 210 Freeway. According to the city, Yaamava’ attracts approximately 14 million visitors annually, while the soccer complex draws visitors for regional tournaments throughout the year. “San Bernardino is open for
business and is ready to move forward with this project,” Mayor Pro Tem Kim Knaus said. “It is always exciting when development comes to San Bernardino.” Next Steps The city and Panorama Development are expected to enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement in the coming month. The short-term agreement would allow the city and developer to negotiate exclusively over the proposed project and establish terms that could eventually lead to a disposition and development agreement. During negotiations, the parties are expected to refine the development concept, conduct due diligence and seek community input. Panorama also plans to begin identifying businesses that could potentially locate at the site. The city and Panorama are also expected to continue discussions with Caltrans about possible additional access to the development from the Interstate 210 off-ramp. Conceptual plans presented during the city’s competitive selection process remain preliminary and are subject to change. Any final proposal would be subject to negotiations, environmental review, engineering, community input and the city’s entitlement process. Panorama owner Wes Fifield said the development process could take approximately three to five years to complete.
Long-Vacant Property Has Seen Previous Development Efforts The Arden Guthrie property has remained vacant for years despite previous attempts to develop the site. The city’s former Redevelopment Agency acquired the property in 2006 using a loan through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Between 2006 and 2009, the property was cleared and prepared for development. The city pursued development proposals for the property in 2010 and again in 2024, but neither effort moved forward. In September 2025, the city’s Economic Development Department issued a request for proposals seeking developers for the property. Two development teams submitted proposals: Panorama Development LLC and Schneider Commercial Real Estate. Following interviews and an evaluation process, both teams presented their concepts to the City Council. The council subsequently selected Panorama as its preferred developer. “This is an important milestone for the Arden Guthrie property,” Economic Development Project Manager Stephanie Castro said. “The partnership with a top-notch developer like Panorama will attract new businesses and investment to a prime property that provides prominent freeway visibility and close proximity to major destinations.”
Earlier this year, Amazon agreed to changes regarding how its attendance policies apply to employees participating in protected strike activity following proceedings involving the Teamsters and the National Labor Relations Board, according to the union.
In December 2025, a majority of warehouse workers at DJT6 signed union authorization cards with Teamsters Local 1932, according to the union.
The Teamsters characterized the agreement as a victory in its dispute with the company over workers’ right to participate in strikes.
The Teamsters contend that Amazon has since failed to meet its obligations under federal labor law to negotiate with workers at the last-mile delivery facility.
DJT6 is a last-mile delivery station where employees sort and prepare packages before they are loaded into delivery vehicles for distribution to customers.
Wednesday’s planned action would mark the first time workers on both primary shifts at DJT6 have participated in coor-

Fontana Unified’s FLIP Program Marks 30 Years With Strong Attendance, Behavior Gains

F
or 30 years, Fontana Unified School District’s Fontana Leadership Intervention Program (FLIP) and Junior FLIP have helped more than 1,000 students overcome challenges and make positive choices, with the 2025-26 school year cohort reporting some of the programs’ strongest data yet. Led by the Fontana School Police Department (FSPD), FLIP uses a “court of your peers” model to help students break patterns affecting their attendance, behavior, or academic progress. The 16-week course provides students with tutoring, mentorship, and structured lessons focused on discipline, emergency preparedness, and the importance of attending school. Participants take part in field trips and leadership development activities, and
receive support in making positive choices at school and home. Families are also connected with additional needed resources to ensure students are supported every step of the way. “FLIP is important because it allows us to mentor students who need additional support and helps keep them from entering the court system,” FSPD Chief Rich Randolph said. “We can step in, help them grow, and provide resources not only to the students, but to their families and schools as well.” During the 2025-26 school year, 20 students graduated from the FLIP program, representing the communities of Eric Birch, Fontana, Jurupa Hills, Kaiser, Summit, and Etiwanda high schools. The cohort recorded a 50% reduction in tardiness during the program, while student absences decreased by 38%.

In spring 2026, 14 Junior FLIP students graduated from the program, representing Alder, Almeria, Canyon Crest, Cypress, Maple, Palmetto, Sierra Lakes, West Randall, Southridge Tech, and Truman middle schools. While enrolled in the program, student tardiness decreased by 6%, and the cohort had no suspensions, representing a 100% decrease in the suspension rate. Students are referred to FLIP and Junior FLIP by school counselors and complete an intake process to determine whether the programs can provide the best support. Participants receive tutoring and take part in field trips and lessons focused on discipline, first aid, respect for parents, and the importance of attending school. FSPD strengthened the programs during the 2025-26 school year by improving data collection and graduate tracking.
These changes allow program staff to better evaluate student progress and remain connected with participants after they complete FLIP. When students or families need continued assistance, staff can connect them with services available through Fontana Unified or community organizations. Fontana Unified Senior Director of Maintenance and Operations Luis E. Estrada supports FLIP by providing CPR and emergency preparedness training aligned with American Heart Association guidelines. “One of the benefits of the training is awareness,” Estrada said. “Students learn how to respond to an emergency, recognize an obstructed airway, and understand signs and symptoms. Those skills can benefit them at school, at home with family members, or in the community.”

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL If you are BIDDERS: considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the beneficiary, mortgagee, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (855) 313-3319 or visit this Internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 149440-CA. about Information postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 149440-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Latino Health Conference Examines Mental Health Stigma and Access Barriers in the Inland Empire

ultural stigma, language barriers, distrust of providers and disconnected support systems are keeping some Latino families from receiving effective mental health care in the Inland Empire, residents and advocates said at a regional conference. The 2026 State of Latino Health conference, held Sept. 3 in Riverside, brought together health professionals, community leaders and residents from Riverside and San Bernardino counties to examine how generational beliefs and unequal access affect health and well-being. Presented by the Latino Health Collaborative, an initiative powered by the nonprofit Reach Out, the conference focused on mental health across generations. Speakers described how an expectation to endure emotional pain privately has discouraged some Latinos from discussing mental health or seeking help. Younger generations, they said, are increasingly challenging that silence. During the “Latino Perspectives on Public Health in the Inland Empire” panel, Martha Carrasco recalled growing up in a household where emotional struggles were rarely acknowledged. “We don’t talk about that. What will people say?” Carrasco remembered hearing. Carrasco then shared that her father died by suicide when she was 17 and that her family largely avoided discussing his death. “To this day, I can really say that we never really talked about it,” she said. “It was something that I overcame on my own.” The experience influenced how Carrasco communicates with her children, leading her to speak more openly about emotional well-being and seeking help.
“We need to know that we can seek out help when necessary, and we shouldn’t be ashamed,” Carrasco said. The panel included Carrasco, Maria Diaz, Victoria Osorio and Juan Zapien, whose perspectives illustrated how attitudes toward mental health have changed across generations. Zapien said younger Latinos can respect what their parents and grandparents endured while developing a different understanding of emotional well-being. “Mental health is real and it does matter,” Zapien said. Trust emerged as another central concern. Osorio, an aspiring physician, said patients are more likely to discuss their health when providers listen carefully and treat them with respect. “Trust has a lot to do with active listening and also respect for the patient,” Osorio said. She described assisting Spanish-speaking hospital patients who became more comfortable asking questions after hearing her speak their language. Some approached her for clarification about medical instructions or discharge documents. Osorio said providers of all backgrounds can build stronger relationships by listening to patients and recognizing the varied experiences, educational backgrounds and family circumstances within Latino communities. Language access also shaped Carrasco’s early experiences with health care. She recalled translating during her parents’ medical appointments, even when she did not fully understand the medical information herself. “That shouldn’t be the norm,” Carrasco said, calling for trained interpreters and information in languages patients under-
stand. A second panel, “A Cross-Sector Look at Latino Health in the Inland Empire,” examined how housing, transportation, education, immigration concerns, public benefits and legal needs can affect a family’s health. The discussion featured Ramon Ramos, founder and president of The Exception; Tessie Solorzano, executive director of Inland Counties Legal Services; and Sonia Rezkalah, administrator of family engagement for the Riverside County Office of Education. Panelists said families rarely encounter those challenges separately. One household may simultaneously experience food insecurity, unstable housing, transportation problems and difficulty navigating health or educational systems. They called for stronger coordination among nonprofits, government agencies, schools and health providers. Families should be able to approach one trusted organization and receive connections to a broader network instead of repeatedly explaining their circumstances to multiple agencies, panelists said. Ramos described fear as a growing barrier for young people, including concerns about immigration enforcement. He said The Exception relocated a physical fitness program after two participants reported being afraid to return because an immigration enforcement facility was nearby. “We need to be able to be in a space where they feel safe, where they feel heard, where they feel seen and not where they feel threatened,” Ramos said. Panelists said social media has exposed young people to a scale of comparison that previous generations did not experience. Heavy reliance on screen-based communication can also leave some youths less
comfortable speaking with people face to face, they said. Solorzano said meaningful health care access requires more than having insurance. Patients must also be able to obtain timely appointments, understand their coverage and exercise their rights. “If you are experiencing a complex medical condition, you probably are not in the frame of mind to be able to tackle that challenge on your own,” Solorzano said. Without assistance from relatives, advocates or legal professionals, patients may delay care and allow their conditions to worsen, she said. Community education can help residents understand their coverage and available options when care is delayed or denied. Rezkalah urged health and community organizations to work with school-based family engagement centers and other institutions that families already trust. She said services should be offered in families’ preferred languages and provided virtually or in familiar community spaces when appropriate. Schools, houses of worship and other gathering places can help organizations reach residents who may be uncomfortable approaching an unfamiliar institution. “Families are going to go to places where they feel trust, where they feel connection,” Rezkalah said. “Representation truly matters.” Across generations and professional fields, speakers returned to a common conclusion: Expanding services alone will not eliminate disparities. Latino families must also feel understood, respected and safe when seeking care. As closing keynote speaker Angelica Plascensia told attendees, “Healing happens at the speed of trust.”
