I couldn’t comprehend to take it out and hide it from her. “That’s when I realized how self- ish I was.” Up to that point Yescas felt he was entitled to hurt other people.

“My reality was that I was go-ing to die in prison.”

And Miguel Yescas was perfectlyfine with that, until his 4-year-old nieceinspired a major turnaround and in-volvement with the San Diego County-affiliated Project A.W.A.R.E. pointedhim in the direction he needed.

Yescas is a former gang memberwho now talks to school children inSan Diego County hoping to help themavoid the mistakes he made early inlife that nearly killed him. He spokeThursday at the Live Well San DiegoBuilding Better Futures anti-gang sum-mit that took place in Vista.

To appreciate where Yescas is to-day – a college graduate and a guestspeaker – you have to know just howfar he has come on his journey.

The beginning of a cycleHe first entered the County juve-

nile system when he was 14. He hasbeen sent to jail 17 times - once amere 11 days after he was releasedon probation.

“Ages 13 to 26 were a constantcycle in and out of jail,” said Yescas.“I was involved in drugs and therewas a lot of trauma in my life.

“There were a lot of things I nevertalked about, but I had a lot of trustissues.”

Yescas said he was taught at anearly age that violence was a way toexpress your feelings and gangs werethe perfect outlet for that philosophy.

His escalation to gang membershipstarted in middle school, where hebullied and preyed on weaker kids.

“There were little cliques andcrews in middle school,” he said. “Wehad little names we gave ourselves

A Former Gang Member’s Road to Redemptionand we would fight in the bathroomsand physical education classes. It’sreally no different than a prison yard.”

Yescas started going to parties andeventually began tagging, whichbrought a culture of even more vio-lence to his life.

“My involvement started off try-ing to be a part of the crowd, and Ineeded an identity,” he said. “By thetime I was 19, I really saw where mylife was going and that prison wasgoing to be a big part of it. I wantedto be accepted in the system.”

His start with smaller offenses likevandalism, public intoxication, loiter-ing and possession of marijuana soonescalated to battery and assault.

“When I got introduced to the ju-venile and prison systems, it was like‘I’m home,” Yescas said. “Getting outof jail to me sometimes was like com-ing home from Iraq because I feltpeople respected me and looked upto me because that’s how I saw itwhen I was a child.”

The light at the end of the tunnelHe was in and out of several dif-

ferent rehabilitation programs. Thefirst sign of a U-turn in his life camewhen he was offered drug court in2007 after being charged with armedrobbery.

“I learned a lot there, but I was stilljust taking advantage of the system. Iwasn’t ready to change and I wantedto straddle the fence,” he said. “Thehelp was there – it was always there –but I just wasn’t ready to apply the toolsto change everything about myself.”

It wasn’t until five years later,sprawled out on a bathroom floorwith a syringe hanging from his arm

that he finally had that moment whereeverything changed.

It was a progression of addictionsthat led to that point. He started offwith alcohol and marijuana growingup. At 14, he started smoking crackcocaine and then discovered crystalmeth at 16 before heroin took overand he became an IV drug user.

One morning, he over-dosed and

was lying on the bathroom floor whenhis 4-year-old niece found him.

“I woke up to her saying my nameover and over,” he said. “And I justremember the syringe was still in myarm and I kept looking at it. I couldn’tcomprehend to take it out and hide itfrom her.

“That’s when I realized how self-ish I was.”

Up to that point Yescas felt he wasentitled to hurt other people. He hadexcuses to disappoint and hurt every-one in the world in his eyes.

“But this little girl,” he said. “She’sjust 4 years old and she has this un-conditional love for me. She doesn’tknow about my past.”

FRONTERA NORTESUR

Editor’s Note: FronteraNorteSur’s continued cover-age of the crisis in Mexicotriggered by the Iguala Mas-sacre and forced disappear-ance of students.

In late 2014 Mexico thereis one word that captures thesocio-political reality: Ayotzi-napa. From border to borderand from coast to coast, thecrisis triggered by the Septem-ber 26-27 police killings andforced disappearances of stu-dents and civilians in the stateof Guerrero only deepens, withunpredictable consequencesfor the 2015 Congressionalelections, the administration ofPresident Enrique Pena Nietoand Mexican polity as a whole.

Rising with a three-day na-tional protest October 29-31and continuing into the Novem-ber 1-2 Days of the Dead fes-tivities, protests in support ofthe 43 missing male studentsfrom the Raul Isidro BurgosRural Teachers College ofAyotzinapa, Guerrero sizzledthroughout the country andabroad.

The students, whose photoshave practically become iconicimages in Mexico, were de-tained and disappeared by mu-nicipal police officers in Iguala,Guerrero, after a confrontationdeveloped over the students’

The Blazing Ashes of Ayotzinapacollection of money in public.Opening fire on the studentsand others, the police-andparamilitary gunmen linked toa drug cartel working withthem- were then blamed forkilling three students and threepasserby.

The disappeared youngmen, who were all first yearstudents at the Ayotzinapaschool, were then bundled intopolice vehicles and whiskedoff to an uncertain fate.

“They took them alive, re-turn them alive!” were wordsagain reverberating on Mexi-can streets this past week.

In the northern border re-gion, university students spear-headed a brief blockade of theSanta Fe Bridge connectingCiudad Juarez and El Paso onthe evening of October 31. Theaction was the fourth closureof an international bordercrossing by protesters in thenorthern Mexican city in aboutthree weeks.

A protest sign glimpsed atthe action read: “They wantedto bury us but didn’t know wewere seeds/Tlatelolco (1968Mexico City massacre of stu-dents) touched my father,Ayotzinapa touched me. Strug-gle so your child won’t betouched..”

On the same day, approxi-mately 400 students, teachers,doctors, garbage collectors,and others occupied a toll

booth on the Tijuana-TecateHighway in Baja California insolidarity with Ayotzinapa. Stu-dents and community memberswere also on the move in theSonora border cities of Nogalesand San Luis Rio Colorado,while in the state capital ofHermosillo, 1,200 rural teacherstudents attended a Day of theDead event that prominentlyfeatured an altar for the Ayotzi-napa students.

“What we are doing todayin Tijuana might seem insignifi-cant,” said Marco AntonioPacheco Pena, coordinator forthe Teacher Resistance Move-ment. “But it is a grain in thesand of what is going on at thenational level, because this isbeing repeated in other states,in the sphere of human rights,public education and laborrights.”

On Sunday, November 2,more than 1,000 demonstratorsreturned to the streets of Tijuanaagain, demanding the safe re-turn of the Ayotzinapa students.Dr. Jose Manuel ValenzuelaArce, professor and researcherfor the Colegio de la FronteraNorte, said the protests comefrom “a society aggrieved byimpunity, violence, death andracism.” According to theTijuana academic, many vic-tims of violence are like the stu-dents of Ayotzinapa-young,poor and indigenous.

Valenzuela maintained that

the “decomposition” of theMexican political and social or-der had to be reversed. “But Icelebrate that, from distinct lev-els of civil society, the peopleare mobilizing to change things,”he said. “Enough. A countrycan’t develop over the bodiesof its young people.”

In Oaxaca, meanwhile, alarge movement blockaded thePuerto Escondido airport,seized gasoline stations andoccupied department stores.Among the biggest October 31demonstrations was the marchheld in the old tourist center ofAcapulco, Guerrero, wherethousands of students, teach-ers, popular movement activ-ists and relatives of the Ayotzi-napa 43 paraded through thestreets demanding the safe re-turn of their loved ones, theouster of new Governor Sal-vador Rogelio Ortega and thejailing of the former one, An-gel Aguirre Rivero.

“We will continue movingahead and die for our sons,”cracked the emotional voice ofEpifanio Alvarez, father of dis-appeared student Jorge AlvarezNava.

Acapulco demonstratorsalso demanded justice for mur-dered activists like RocioMesino, leader of the Campe-sino Organization of the South-ern Sierra Madres gunneddown in October 2013, andfreedom for Nestora Salgado,Marco Antonio Suastegui andother Guerrero leaders thepopular movement regards aspolitical prisoners.

The chief of the communitypolice in Olinala, Guerrero,Salgado sent a message fromher jail cell in Nayarit, whereshe is being held on what sup-porters insist are kidnappingcharges that were trumped upafter her policing activities dis-turbed the interests of orga-nized crime.

“What a shame that I amnot here,” Salgado said. “If Iwere here, I would be at thefirst in the struggle to uncoverthe assassins of these compan-ions.”

A day prior to the Acapulcoprotest, some 5,000 peoplemarched in Tixtla, the townclosest to Ayotzinapa andhome to 14 of the disappearedstudents, also demanding the

new Guerrero governor’souster.

Pro-Ayotzinapa actions con-tinued on the internationalscene as well. On November2, the Day of the Dead, 60people held a vigil for the stu-dents outside the White House.Organized via social media, thevigil was mainly attended byMexican residents of Wash-ington D.C.

“It’s outrageous for us thatsomething like this could hap-pen in a country like Mexico inthe 21st century,” said FranciaRabago, spokeswoman for thevigil. “We ask for no more im-punity and accountability.”Rabago contended that theU.S. and other countries had aresponsibility to get involved inthe Ayotzinapa affair so “ev-erything is clarified.”

Noted Mexican writer ElenaPoniatowska, whose chronicleof the 1968 Tlatelolco Massa-cre documented a watershedmoment in Mexican history, isamong many intellectuals, art-ists, musicians and even sportsfigures speaking out about anew generation’s defining mo-ment. In a recent column,Poniatowska recalled wordsshe earlier penned that haverelevance for today:

“I want a country wherethere are no murders, wherethe people have the same op-portunities. We can’t continuelike this, sitting on top of bonesand above graves. We have acommon cause, the cause oflove we have for the country,for ourselves and for thosewho come later…”

Like the ashes that are onceagain sparking from the Popo-catepetl Volcano outside Mexi-co City, the hot drift from theAyotzinapa affair is shroudingthe landscape and churning uphuman rights scandals new andold.

The mass disappearancesand graves of murdered wo-men, Central American mi-grants and Mexicans of manystripes in Chihuahua, NuevoLeon, Coahuila, Tamaulipasand elsewhere are again burn-ing in the public eye, as arenew atrocities like last month’sabductions and murders ofthree young members of the

So How MuchDid Obama’sImmigrationDelay HurtLatino Turnout?By Julianne HingCOLORLINES

At long last, a first take at aconcrete answer to what has,up until now, been a mostlyspeculative conversation.Would President Obama’sdecision to delay executiveaction on immigration reformput a dent in Latinos’ turnout?

The answer: It likely did.Latino Decisions, in

partnership with NationalCouncil of La Raza, andAmerica’s Voice, released thefinal installment of its bilingual,landline and cell-phone poll.Latino Decisions, in addition topolling those who intended tovote, talked to those whowere registered but were notinterested in participating inthe 2014 elections. Among thereasons voters gave for notvoting this year were a lack oftime in their day (25 percent);a lack of knowledge abouttheir polling place (24percent); frustration with “badcandidates” (19 percent) anda lack of photo ID required tovote (14 percent).

Twenty-three percent ofnon-voting Latinos whoresponded to the poll said thatObama’s decision to delayexecutive action made themmore enthusiastic about thepresident and the DemocraticParty, while 60 percent ofnon-voting Latinos said thedelay made them lessenthusiastic. This is notablebecause Latinos havehistorically backed Democratsby wide margins. In everystate that Latino Decisionspolled save for Florida-Arizona, California, Colorado,Georgia, Illinois, Kansas,North Carolina, Nevada andTexas-respondents said thatimmigration was the mostimportant issue to them.

And, as what will widely beinterpreted as a kick in thepants to Obama, 68 percent ofnon-voters said that they couldbe brought back to the polls in2016 with executive action onimmigration reform “beforethe end of this year,”according to Latino Decisions.

“In 2012 the thing thatdrove Latino turnout was [thedeportation deferral programfor young undocumentedimmigrants] DACA,” saidLatino Decisions’ MattBarreto. “It’s extremely clearthat what drove Latino voterturnout [in 2012] and therecord share of the Latinovote Obama got was theenthusiasm he got fromenacting DACA.” Obamaought to take pointers from hispast wins to help both Latinosand his party, Barreto said.

The Latinoamericanización of U.S. PoliticsQ & A with Roberto Lovato

By Elena ShoreNEW AMERICA MEDIA

There’s a sea change tak-ing place in poltics today, andit’s being led by Latinos, ac-cording to Roberto Lovato, awriter and a Visiting Scholarat UC Berkeley’s Center forLatino Policy Research. Hespoke with New AmericaMedia editor Elena Shore.

Where did Latino votersmake a difference inTuesday’s election?

It’s important to say the dif-ference that Latino voterscould have made.

Ex-governors and ex-sena-tors in Colorado, in Florida,could-have-beens in Virginiaand other states would prob-ably have had the votes theyneeded to win, had we had adifferent policy on immigra-tion.

Like it or not, the KingKong of issues for Latinos,bar none, is still immigration.And when you have PresidentBarack Obama giving peoplea lot of reasons not to go outand vote – there’s 2 milliondeported reasons, there’s400,000 jailed reasons, there’sthousands of children terror-ized reasons why Latinoswere completely disanimatedand discouraged.

There was a lot of talkabout what Obama’s delay intaking executive action on im-migration would have on theelection.

I don’t think it’s just the de-lay. I think it’s those 2 milliondeportations, and the 400,000jailings, and all the terror anddestruction of immigrant livesthat Obama has caused in acommunity where 56 percentof us that voted in exit pollshave a friend or relative who’san undocumented immigrant.If you want to lose Latinovotes, do what Obama and theDemocrats did. It’s a sure-fireway. But the Republicanshaven’t made any, and I domean any, major inroads. Andthey won’t.

So what we’re dealing withis a debate that has degener-ated to a point where peopleare reporting on the unicorn vs.La Siguanaba, non-existentfictional entities that are con-structed by the media. It’s notthe actual community that’s

speaking in the headlines or thediscussions about the Latinovote. It’s this imaginary beingthat they’ve made up.

What do you thinkthey’re missing?

What’s missing is realdeep, serious reporting. Whenyou cover immigration solelywithin the border of the UnitedStates, when you start there,it unleashes a dynamic thatdefines immigration as prima-rily an electoral issue – whenthere are economic, political,foreign policy, Drug War andother issues at play.

I wrote in an article todaythat our elections look more likeThe Walking Dead than ever– zombie politics. Zombie, asin they’re really heartless, life-less policies and politicians thatmove by the momentum oftheir deadness. That’s ex-tremely dangerous.

Today’s Latino Decisionspoll found that if Obama wereto act before the end of theyear, Latino voters’ enthusi-asm for Democrats would goway up, and if Republicanswere to block it, they wouldbe much more anti-Republi-can.

I think that’s one of thefoundations for the next waythat the Latino political gameis going to be played. It’s go-ing to be played around theaxes of executive action fa-vorable for Latinos vs. Repub-lican blocking, which is unfa-vorable.

It’s a false frame for the is-sue. You have to look at whoin the Latino community is re-sponsible for the fact that no-body said anything about the2 million deportations. Howdid we get to 2 million depor-tations and not have any of themajor advocates … say any-thing for almost six years?How did the media not reporton all this suffering and de-struction that’s at the heart ofthe Democrats’ electoral law?That’s the story.

So what effect has that hadon potential voters?

Right now, most Latino vot-ers know that they don’t likewhat the Democrats are do-ing, but they don’t know whyObama is worse on deporta-tion than all presidents in U.S.history combined. So they

don’t know what to think anddo in the face of it.

There’s a way that reality iscurated for us so that we don’task real, deep questions aboutdeportations, about Border Pa-trol killings of innocent people,immigrants, jailing 400,000mostly non-criminal people ayear.

You hear people say, “Well,it’s out of his control. It’s thepeople in the bureaucracy thatare doing that, and he’s justenforcing the law” and all thesemagnificent and utterly falseconclusions that people reachbecause they don’t have the in-formation to face the stone-cold fact that their DemocraticParty is no different, and evenworse, on immigration than thedreaded Republican Party.

Their only fallback positionis: “Wait ‘til the Republicans arein power.” That’s a degenerateimagination that says that. At arhetoric level and at a policyproposal level, the Republicansare worse. There is no doubtabout that. But at the physicallevel of an actual immigrantbody, at the level of actual suf-fering of thousands upon thou-sands of children, at the levelof real immigrant non-criminalbody being jailed for speciousreasons, Barack Obama andthe Democrats have been worsethan the worst Tea Partier.

What are some of themost interesting races youhave been tracking?

I think one of the most inter-esting things happening rightnow is in Arizona. Largely un-reported is what I would call thebeginning of the end of SB 1070and SB 1062, the racial profil-ing law and the ethnic studiesban. The politics and the politi-cians that brought that about arenot expanding and growing;they are retreating now.

You have no better instancethan the case of David García,a largely unknown PhD Armyvet who ran his campaign [forSuperintendent of Public In-struction] against a Tea Partycandidate. The most tellingthing is… he got the endorse-ment of the Chamber of Com-merce. That’s the same Cham-ber of Commerce that was be-ing boycotted by Latinos in Ari-zona and throughout the U.S.

After seven years as asemi-itinerant school, the Ur-ban Discovery Academy willsoon put down roots in the EastVillage.

Things are moving quicklyfor the K-8 public charterschool. In September, UDAannounced that it successfullysold $10.5 million in municipalbonds for the construction ofits new campus at 14th and Fstreets downtown. On Oct. 25,the school celebrated a ground-breaking ceremony at its futuresite, and construction begandays later.

UDA anticipates construc-tion to be completed by July.Move-in will occur in August,in time for students to return inthe fall.

“Our vision was always tobe truly in the heart of down-town,” said MaeLin Levine,board president for Urban Dis-covery Academy. “The EastVillage is the most up and com-ing area, the most vibrant, po-tentially, and the most creative.With proximity to the trolleyline, the new library, the (plan-ned) East Village Green park— there really couldn’t be abetter location.”

The campus will comprisetwo buildings, one of which isan existing two-story, 17,000-square-foot brick structure.

Urban Discovery Academy finds permanent home in IDEA District

The historic building, most re-cently used as storage for theCommunity College SchoolDistrict, will be renovated andretrofitted to meet current seis-mic codes, said Brad Richter,assistant vice president of plan-ning for Civic San Diego, whichhandles planning and entitle-ments for the downtown area.

In addition, a new two-story,19,000-square-foot facility willbe constructed. The buildingwill include state-of-the-art fa-cilities and a mix of indoor andoutdoor spaces.

The site will feature a fullarts studio, with a photographicdarkroom, and ceramics andsilk screening equipment, alongwith a large library space,Levine said. Physical educa-tion classes will take place ona planned Rooftop Pavilion,which will also include a gar-den area, outdoor classroomand middle-school hangout.

The school will soon begina $750,000 capital campaign toraise money to pay for itemsnot covered by the bonds, in-cluding $350,000 for the Roof-top Pavilion.

The new campus will allowUDA to expand enrollment inthe next two years, as theschool opens additional 7th and8th grade classes. Current en-rollment is at 390, with Hispanicstudents making up 31 percentof the population. At capacity,

the school will serve 463 stu-dents.

KCM Group is handlingproject management, andDavis Reed Construction isbuilding the facility. AVRP Stu-dios is the project architect.

During the previous sixyears, UDA operated out of arented space on Sixth Avenue,across from Balboa Park. Thisyear the school relocated tem-porarily to a vacant site on 45thStreet and will remain thereuntil the East Village campusis completed.

UDA identified the East Vil-lage site in 2013 as a locationthat could deliver on the school’svision to bring creative elemen-tary education to the city’s ur-ban core. UDA negotiated a 99-year lease on the land, which isowned by the San Diego Com-munity College District.

The school’s curriculumuses project-based learningand is grounded in the idea thatchildren learn through real-lifeinteractions and collaborations.At the new site, proximity todowntown destinations will pro-vide students with many oppor-tunities to interact with a vi-brant urban community, Levinesaid.

“We envision (the location)giving us the chance to take kidsout into the community, to hopon the trolley and go on a fieldtrip, or walk up Park Boulevard

and go to the park. It’s a reallycentral location, with ease ofgetting to public transportation,but also maybe no transporta-tion, just walking to variousdowntown businesses,” Levinesaid.

“That’s what we feel thislocation will really give us — achance to put that into action.”

The school may also en-courage existing downtownfamilies to stay in the area,added Levine.

“I was part of Civic SanDiego’s Downtown EducationTask Force. The final outcomeof the Task Force was a re-port that outlined the No. 1 pri-ority was to have qualityschools of choice in down-town,” she said. “Otherwise,

young families will continue tosell and move to the suburbsonce their children reachschool age.”

The new campus will be lo-cated within a five-block dis-trict in the making dubbedMakers Quarter and the broad-er IDEA (Innovation, Design,Education, Art) District, a pro-posed 35-block area in the up-per East Village. Plans call forthe IDEA District to becomea cluster for technology anddesign-oriented companieswithin the next seven to 15years.

Makers Quarter has alreadybeen attracting attention, witha gathering space called SILOand an urban community gar-den called Smarts Farm. Com-ing in December will be Quart-yard, a 30,000-square-foottemporary park at MarketStreet and Park Boulevard thatwill host a coffee shop, foodtrucks, art galleries, farmersand craft markets, an outdoorbeer garden and events.Broadstone Makers Quarter,

scheduled for construction inearly 2016, will be the first resi-dential mixed-use building inthe area.

Along with the new CentralLibrary, City College, theNewSchool of Architecture &Design and other downtownestablishments, these destina-tions will provide excellent re-sources for educational oppor-tunities for Urban DiscoveryAcademy students, said StaceyPennington, the lead urban plan-ner for Makers Quarter andfounder of SLP Urban Plan-ning. The vision for the IDEADistrict, she said, has alwaysbeen about bringing innovation,design, education and art ele-ments together in a sustainableway.

“For this charter school to belocated where it is, it’s going tobe more synergistic for thiswhole area, the energy and dy-namic that’s already started,”Pennington said.

Si no lo ha hecho, ya es hora.El cambio de temporada noviene solo y la gripa puede seruna seria amenaza para su fa-milia.

Este es el momento devacunarse si quiere mantenera raya esta enfermedad respi-ratoria que mata. El llamado delos Centros de Control deEnfermedades - CDC - esteaño es especial para los adultosjóvenes y de mediana edad queaun se rehúsan a ser va-cunados.

Recuerde, si lo suyo es elmiedo a la aguja, que existe laopción del aerosol nasal y queen cualquier caso, la molestiaes mínima si se compara conla fiebre, la tos, el dolor degarganta, la mucosidad per-sistente, los dolores muscu-lares, de cuerpo y de cabeza yel cansancio extremo o lafatiga que lo atacaran cuandollegue la gripa.

Y es que es bueno recordarque la gripa – o influenza – esimpredecible y su gravedadpuede variar ampliamente deuna temporada a otra. Además,es importante aclarar quealgunas personas corren ri-esgos más altos de presentarcomplicaciones graves si con-traen la enfermedad. Este esel caso de las personas ma-yores, los niños pequeños, lasmujeres embarazadas y laspersonas con ciertas afe-cciones, entre las que figura elasma, la diabetes y las en-fermedades cardiacas.

Los CDC recuerdan, sinembargo, que entre las compli-caciones de la influenza, es

Gánele a la gripa…¡vacúnese!

decir entre las condiciones quepueden sobrevenir si no secuida la enfermedad, esta laneumonía bacteriana, las infe-cciones sinusales, la deshi-dratación o el empeoramientode condiciones como insufi-ciencia cardiaca congestiva,asma o diabetes.

¿Quién debe vacunarse?Todos. La recomendación

de las autoridades de salud esque todas las personas sevacunen contra la influenza,menos los niños menores de 6meses.

Recuerde además que estaenfermedad se transmite através del aire de persona apersona. Una persona con in-fluenza puede contagiar a otros– transmitir el virus – hasta a6 pies de distancia. El princi-pal vehículo de los virus son lasgotitas que se producen altoser, estornudar o hablar.Estas gotitas pueden terminaren la boca o la nariz el vecinoo este puede inhalarlas ytrasladar el virus a su sistema.

Los virus de la influenzapueden sobrevivir en ciertas

superficies, así que es posibleadquirirlo tocando una de ellasy llevando la mano conta-minada a nuestra boca o nariz.Por lo tanto es siempre re-comendable lavarnos las ma-nos frecuentemente con aguay jabón.

Si estamos enfermos, lomejor es quedarnos en casa.Es bueno recordar, sin em-bargo, que podemos tener elvirus y transmitirlo, mucho an-tes de presentar síntomas. Asíque lo mejor, de nuevo, es lavacuna. No se deje alcanzarde la influenza, vacúnese.

There are only 70 to 80people left in Baja Californiawho speak Kumeyaay, accord-ing to Michael Wilken Robert-son, an anthropologist who alsospecializes in ethno-botany.When Wilken-Robertson firststarted his journey studying theindigenous people of Baja Cali-fornia, he was told there wereno indigenous cultures there!He believed something had tobe done to preserve these an-cient cultures and traditionsbefore they were lost, espe-cially those of the Kumeyaay[Kumiai] people. The Kumiaiare the indigenous people onboth sides of the border, start-ing from Carlsbad on theUnited States side, down to theSanto Tomas Valley in BajaCalifornia, Mexico. The MuseoCommunitario de Tecate [Te-cate Community Museum] andthe Kumiai wing is a good firststep towards documenting thelife and history of these people.It is part of the Centro Cultural[Cultural Center] in Tecate,Baja California.

Tecate is a border town justeast of Tijuana, known for thebrewery that makes Tecatebeer, and Rancho La Puerta, aworld famous spa. Driving onHW 94, it takes about 45 min-utes to get there from San Di-ego. Tecate retains much of itsold world charm. The CentroCultural, which encompassestwo square blocks, started outas a chicken ranch on the out-skirts of town, but is now con-sidered to be pretty much partof the downtown area. The

The Centro Cultural and KumeyaayMuseum in Tecate

Community Museum is onefacility of many in the CentroCultural, including an art mu-seum where they have differ-ent exhibits. Near the Kumiaistructure, there is a buildingwhich houses photographs thatdocument Tecate’s history. Allof this is sponsored and man-aged by the Corredor HistoricoCarem, a non-profit organiza-tion that is dedicated to identi-fying, preserving, and present-ing to the public the historicaland cultural heritage of BajaCalifornia.

The Kumiai building is thejewel of the place. It officiallyopened in June 2011. Theshape of the building is veryinteresting, as it was designedby James Hubbell to invokeindigenous themes. However,it is clear that the place holdsspecial meaning for WilkenRobertson although at this time,he no longer works there. Onthat day, one could see the pas-sion he felt while he was giv-ing a tour. On the inside, thereare beautiful stain glass win-dows and paintings on the wallthat represent the history andnomadic life of the Kumiaiwho spent their time movingbetween the desert, mountainand coastal areas during theirseasonal migrations. Other ex-hibits depict the way they lived.There are baskets, carryingdevices, mortars, pestles, andother tools that had to be bothfunctional and portable. Thereare also interactive, bilingualelectronic displays.

A good metaphor for the

museum and what it representsis an oak tree that is planted inthe middle of the complex. Itstarted out as a stick with afew leaves. It almost died.They gave it water and goodsoil and it survived and thrived.The oak tree is a sacred treefor the Kumiai, and it servesthem in many ways. Like thetree, the museum can alsoserve, telling the story of theindigenous people, helping toovercome discrimination, andfinding a way to encourage in-terest in younger generationsto spark a new appreciation fortheir culture.

Along with the Kumiaibuilding, the grounds include atraditional, indigenous dwelling,water well, and a garden ofnative plants, each with its ownuse. There is also a gift storewith traditional indigenous arts.Emilia, a Kumiai woman whois one of the last remaining 70-80 speakers, manages the giftshop. The day I was there, hersix year old granddaughter,Irene, was accompanying her.I asked Emilia if Irene couldspeak Kumiai, and she told methe girl knew only a fewphrases, but that she wasteaching her. Let’s hope shelearns, and teaches her chil-dren, so those 70-80- speak-ers are not the last!!

The museum at Calle Tlaloc400 is open Wednesday throughSunday, and tickets are $2.50for adults and $1.00 for children.For more information and direc-tions, call tel. 665/655-6419

While there are many fineactors who possess that cer-tain je ne sais quoi none com-pare to Elizabeth Peña. Shewas so much larger than thesum of her roles. Her body ofwork is incomparable. On Oc-tober 14, 2014, Hollywood lostan acting gem and not surewe’ll ever see another womanembody her skill of craft.

She has been eulogized forher exceptional career—LaBamba, Lone Star, Jacob’sLadder, Down & Out In Bev-erly Hills, and many other films.Her TV roles equal in impor-tance and throughout the yearsshe has been in dozens ofprominent TV series, includingjust wrapping seven episodesof Rey Network’s Matador.More recently she was SofiaVergara’s mother on ABC’sModern Family, and oncestarred in her own ABC sitcomI Married Dora.

However, those who knewthe Cuban-American actressbest, know the one role shemost cherished was that ofBeatrice “Bibi” Corrales, thestrong-willed, sassy, opinion-ated, flashy woman in Show-time’s Resurrection Blvd.(2000-2002). It was a favoriteand mostly under-appreciatedrole she ever played. As Bibi,

Remembering Elizabeth Peña: GreaterThan the Sum of Her Roles

Peña brought her to life withsuch humanistic depth that hadnothing to do with race or eco-nomic class. She made Bibirelatable and unforgettable.

When Resurrection Blvd.executive producer and showcreator, Dennis Leoni wascasting the role of Bibi, he gotword that Elizabeth wanted thepart. “She was perfect, rightage, a perfect fit,” said Leoni.“I loved her as an actress andthought she was tremendouslytalented and when she said shewanted it, that was it, it washers.” Leoni went on to saythat Elizabeth was proud to bepart of the first ever dramaseries to have actual Latinoproducers, Latino writers, andacted by Latinos.

Tony Plana recalled he metElizabeth when she first cameout to Los Angeles from NewYork City. Their meeting wasa 6-degrees from separationtype of connection. “Her firstfilm in 1979 was El Super, andmy cousin was friends with thefilmmaker,” he said.

When Elizabeth decided tomove to L.A., his cousin askedhim to show her around. “Shedidn’t have a car so I chauf-feured her everywhere,” hechuckled. “I took her to see aplay with Richard Dreyfus atthe Doolittle Theatre [nowRicardo Montalban]. I hadbeen working with Richard ona couple of project readings soI got to go backstage and Eliza-beth and Richard met. Theyhad chemistry and not muchlater, she got cast in Down &Out in Beverly Hills. This washer first forage into Los Ange-les and her first really big hitcommercial movie.”

Elizabeth’s breakout role in

the 1987 Luis Valdez hit LaBamba not only put her on thepath for stardom but it alsopaired her with Esai Morales.The chemistry between Eliza-beth and Esai was electrifyingso much so that when Leoniwrote the role of Bibi’s ex-hus-band Paco Corrales, there wasno one else he wanted thanMorales. “Their on-screenchemistry was magic,” he said.

In a separate interview to anetwork news outlet, Moralestalked about Peña’s invaluablecontribution. “When one talksabout a third dimension, therewas a third ‘d’ when it cameto Elizabeth, and that was dig-nity,” he stated.

As an actress workingagainst the stereotypes, Mo-rales got emotional. “Elizabethshowed you don’t have to sellyourself short and you don’thave to sell yourself,” he said.

“She wasn’t in it for thefame or money, she was in itfor the arts,” said Plana. “Sheloved acting and enjoyed im-mersing herself in the role andshe didn’t really talk about theprocess, which was intense anddeep. She simply detailed thenarrative. To see her come aliveand all reflected in this physicalintegration—a whole humanbeing performing in all her di-mensions and it was extremelystimulating. She brought out thebest in the rest of us.”

There will never be anotherElizabeth Peña but the legacyshe leaves will help the nextgeneration of Latinos excel inHollywood without ever com-prising the integrity of theircraft or cultural essence.

Although the San DiegoLatino Film Festival is not untilMarch of next year, its parentorganization, the Media ArtsCenter San Diego, has beenscreening great Latino film allyear at its Digital Gym Cinema,in North Park.

“This commitment to Latinofilms every month is a tributeto our roots, but more impor-tantly, it’s a great alternative towhat is playing in multiplexes,”said Ethan van Thillo, founderand executive director of boththe center and the festival.“Latino cinema is great story-telling that communicates is-sues and entertains.”

The Digital Gym Cinema isending 2014 with two series offilms from throughout LatinAmerica.

During November, it willscreen several movies that re-flect the diversity that exists incontemporary Latino cinema.

“It tells us that we are in agreat time for storytelling fromall over Latin America,” saidPhillip Lorenzo, exhibitions di-rector at the Media Arts Cen-ter. “It also tells us that thegrowing Latino population herein San Diego and in the U.S. isdiverse, and it also tells us thereis an increase in the amount ofmedia content that we con-sume, and as that continues togrow so will the need to dis-

cover new stories, and that canonly be good for diversity.”

Among the Latino films forNovember are The Mystery ofHappiness, where a man andhis wife try to find his lost bestfriend; Purgatorio, a docu-mentary that explores theU.S.-Mexico border as if itwere a scene from Dante’sDivine Comedy; Libertador, abioepic about South Americanindependence hero, SimónBolivar; and To Kill A Man,the official Oscar selectionfrom Chile that tells a storyabout ethics and family.

Mid-term elections aredone, with the exceptionof the Jim Janney andSerge Dedina race for IB

nayor, seperated by 33 votes, whichwon’t be decided until next week. Wewould like to congratulate all those in-dividuals who chose to run for publicoffice.

Most of the candidates ran based on adesire to bring about change for the bet-terment of the community. They believedin themselves and the job they could do.Running for public office is time con-suming, difficult, and can be very expen-sive. And for almost all candidates, run-ning for office becomes personal, whichmakes all of the endorsements, flyers,rumors, and final vote count hurtful!

Running for public office is a processthat most folks would not even consider.So we congratulate all of the candidateswho took on this noble effort. It is be-cause of you that democracy works. Winor lose, these candidates are our com-munity leaders. They will continue to beinvolved in local politics and will maketheir voices heard.

One of those leaders who we must ac-knowledge is Olga Diaz who ran formayor of the City of Escondido. Diazwent into the race understanding that shefaced a historical disadvantage. She is aHispanic candidate in a right-wing com-munity that has often raised its biasedhead. Further, in Escondido, the Demo-cratic voting base has been dwarfed byRepublican voters. Despite these disad-vantages, Diaz had the courage to takeon the challenge and put together a morethan credible campaign, winning supportand raising money from the community.Diaz lost this race but she has signaled achange that is coming to Escondido, ademographic and electoral change com-ing in the near future to Escondido.

Mary Salas was elected mayor of ChulaVista, which makes her the first LatinaMayor in San Diego County. This is asignificant milestone and she should becongratulated for this accomplishment.La Prensa San Diego did not endorse hercandidacy but now that she is the elected

mayor we will support her in her tenure.We believe that leaders grow into theirposition and can take that mantel andbecome great leaders. It is our greatesthope that Mary Salas will be that type ofMayor.

A new day is coming to the schoolboards in the South Bay. This electionbrought about some significant changesto the school boards of San Ysidro, ChulaVista Elementary, and Sweetwater UnionHigh School Board.

The San Ysidro school district is besetwith major challenges. It has been oper-ating on a deficit and has had to borrowmoney the last two years with no end insight. In addition to financial woes, theboard needs to hire a new superintendent.These responsibilities will fall onto theshoulders of Marcos Diaz, RodolfoLinares, and Luciana Corrales who alongwith board member Antonio Martinezhave an opportunity to break away fromold habits and spending and work to bringabout change. Time will tell.

With the election of Francisco Tamayo,Leslie Bunker, and Eduardo Reyes thiswill be the first time in a long time thatthe Chula Vista Elementary school boardwill have a majority of board membersthat will have been truly elected by thecommunity. This will break up the goodold boy system that permeated through-out the board and will bring a breath offresh air to the board.

There is a new day for the SweetwaterUnified High School District with theelection of Arturo Solis, Kevin Pike,Frank Tarantino, Nicholas Segura, andPaula Hall. The voters sent a clear mes-sage that they wanted change from thedays of corruption, as both Bertha Lopezand Jim Cartmill, past board members,lost by wide margins. Now this schoolboard has the task of returning credibil-ity back to board meetings and the re-sponsibility of hiring the next superin-tendent for the district.

The newly elected officials have acouple of months to prepare and will besworn into office in January. Then the realwork starts. We wish all the newly electedpublic servants good luck and God speed.

Election is over, with the real work startingin January

History will judge. To no one’s surprise, vot-ers in National City (NC), with a 90% mi-nority population; approved Prop “D” the200 million so-called penny sale tax for 20years!

The political question is why would NC, S.DCounty’s poorest city, third in California, 70%Chicano population, with a medium income of$37,000; vote to tax themselves to pay ob-scene salaries and pensions for city employ-ees, that don’t even reside (the majority) inNC? Example; 22 police and 33 firefightersare paid over $100,000 a year, but only 5policemen (out of 82) and 1 fireman (out of41) reside in NC? A simple explanation wouldbe Winston Churchill quote, “The best argu-ment against democracy is a five-minuteconversation with the average voter.”

However, history is never that simple. A his-torical analysis of Prop “D” and the 2014 elec-tions manifests a deeper historical social, eco-nomic, and political problem affecting not onlyNC, but numerous poor Chicano communi-ties (such as Bell, CA) thru-out the SouthWest.

The reason, a tsunami demographic changethat has made Chicanos/Mexicanos/Latinosthe majority and whites the minority popula-tion in numerous communities. In my 45 yearsof being involved in community issues this de-mographic change instead of bringing aboutsolutions to the myriad of issues afflicting ourpeople has instead brought an increase ofpolice repression, and economic rip-offs bythe shrinking white minority political establish-ment. Proving the old political axiom, “Theprivilege never gives up their privilegevoluntarily.”

Who can deny that police repression hasincreased with over 2 million Mexicans beingdeported, and more of our youths being inprisons than in colleges? Who can also denythat majority Mexican communities such asBell, and now NC, CA are being economi-cally rip-offs by white politicians (supportedby their hired Mexican supporters) increas-ing salaries, benefits and pensions for predomi-nately white employees? Why, because theyknow that sooner or later the present whitepolitical power system will be replaced by theincreasing Mexican majority.

Unfortunately, at the present time our de-mographic explosion has obviously not beenreflected in either the 2014 national electionsor local elections. At the national level thedefeat of the inept Democratic Party that lostthe U.S. Senate and numerous Governorshipsto the racist right wing Republican Party, whilestill maintaining control of the House of Rep-resentatives.

The Republican Party’s control of bothhouses will insure that issues of concern toour communities, such as immigration reform,the Dream Act, jobs, education, etc., will nowbe totally ignored, and the militarizing of theU.S./Mexico border will increase.

At the local level, another example of ourpolitical powerlessness was the humiliating de-feats suffered by His & Her Panic mayoralcandidates, and the election of never do noth-ing His-Her Panic candidates in cities with clearmajority Mexican populations.

In NC with a 70% Mexican and a 9.8%white population the His-Panic mayoral can-didate received 27% of the vote, while thewhite entrenched Mayor received 73%! In thecity of Escondido with a 51% Mexican and a39% white population the Her-Panic candi-date received 33% while the dye in the woolracist elected Arab mayor received 60%! Withour Chicano/Latino population in the U.S.numbering over 55 million (from 7 million in1970) the 2014 national and local elections

clearly manifested that something is drasticallyand fundamentally politically wrong in our com-munities.

The question of why this continues to hap-pen in every election with our massive popu-lation is always raised by individuals concernedwith our empowerment. Obviously there arenumerous external and internal reasons as towhy, but the best way I can address this ques-tion is by recounting a recent dialog I had witha young student. He stated he was attendingcollege and asked if he could ask me a ques-tion? “What is your question?”

My question is, “How many gringos live inNC?” I responded, “Allow me to answer yourquestion this way, if we lined up 100 residentsfrom NC, 10 of those persons would be grin-gos.” In turn he responded, “How many Mexi-cans live in NC?” I responded, “If you line upthe same 100 persons, 70 of those personswould be Mexicans.”

He stated, “I didn’t know that” to whichI responded, “let me ask you a question, whois the Mayor of NC?” His responds was, “Isn’tit a gringo?”

“Let me ask you another question?” “Whenthe gringos were 70 persons out of the 100and we were 10, do you think they wouldhave elected a Mexican as mayor?” He startedto laugh, and I asked him, “What’s wrong withthat picture?” He responded, “I neverthought about it that way?”

“Let me ask you another question, howmany people are on the NC City Council?”He said “No se?” I responded “there are 4,how of many of them are Mexican?” Again heresponded, “No se?” I informed him “all 4persons are Mexicans, and if they had flunkedmath?” His response, “Why do you state ifthey flunked math?” I responded, “I told youthere are 4 Mexicans on the council, and if itonly takes 3 votes to do anything, why don’tthose 4 council Mexicans ever say, or do any-thing about NC being the poorest city in SDCounty?” Again he responded by stating, “Inever thought about it that way?”

I proceed to inform him, “look you’re goingto college, so I am going to explain to youwhat you’re asking me. What you are askingme is called a historical problem. That prob-lem was here before you and I were born, it’shere right now (if you open your eyes), andit’s going to be here until something is done tocorrect it.”

I continued to inform him that, “what thegringo mayor being elected tell us, is that the10 gringos control NC economically and po-litically. What the 4 don’t say, or do anythingMexicans council members tell us, is that the4 council persons are nothing but employeesjust like the workers that pick avocados inFallbrook. And they can be hired and firedanytime the 10 gringos want. If you don’t be-lieve me, ask little Ralphie Inzunza, that’s ifhe’s out of prison.”

“There’s one other problem?” To which heresponded, “What’s that?” I told him, “youand the 70 Mexicans out of the 100!” He ex-claimed, “Why?” I told him “because youdon’t even know (and you’re going to col-lege) who the mayor is, so what’s the differ-ence if there’s 10 gringo or 2, you don’t knowabout it? Also, you don’t know who the Mexi-can council people are that supposedly rep-resents you, and spend your money.” I finallystated “Let me ask these questions, are youregistered to vote, and do you vote?” He re-sponded, “NO” to both questions. To whichI responded, “Why then are you wasting mytime? You not only not know, and even if youdid you and the 70 Mexicans (I have to as-sume) can’t do anything about it anyway!”

His final response was, “I never thoughtabout it that way?” I then closed by tellinghim, why don’t you go back to college andthink about it?

National City’s Prop “D”, and the 2014Elections: A Historical Analysis

Whew it has been a long time, but withall the election stuff going on, el jefe justhasn’t had the time or the space to putout a Tezzy column!!! But now that theelections are over and we have all thisjuicy gossip….

National City voters, voted for a 1 centtax for no apparent reason, other than tofulfill the fantasies of Mayor Morrison…and yes he is still mayor… LouieNatividad did not give him much of a fight... how is it that a city that is 70% Hispanicthat a Hispanic candidate can’t even mounta credible fight against a gringo… quelastima!!!

Speaking of credible fights, this looks thisis the political end for City CouncilmanRudy Ramirez. Ramirez ran for CVelementary school board against a novice,retired teacher and got his butt handed tohim. Leslie Bunker received 61% of thevote… of course it didn’t help Ramirez anythat he didn’t know anything about theissues with the district…. His one famousline from the campaign was in response to aquestion that ‘this is one time size doesmatter!’ He thought he was being cute, folks

in the seats were embarrassed by it.

At the same education debate it wasobserved that Pam Smith, outgoing boardmember, was texting answers to her sonJoshua Smith who was running to replacehis mother… Maybe Ms. Smith shouldn’thave sat next to the wife of one of thecandidates who saw the whole thing….

Congratulations to Kevin Pike forwinning seat 2 for Sweetwater Board, butthe question is who is Pike, this is onecandidate who was pretty low key andnobody really saw as a top contender whobeat some pretty tough candidates. Heknocked off Adrian Arancibia, KevinO’Neill, and Dana Toogood!!! Could thisbeen a bit of an anti-hispanic vote here,coupled with the fact that the democrats inthe race split the vote, with Pike winningwith what... the Republican vote??? Or justthe fact he is a good guy! quien sabe!

Speaking of Toogood looks like she didnot take campaign class 101… Toogoodowns several sandwich stores and offered afree sandwich to anyone who proved theyvoted…. Toogood that was toobad… youcan’t do that… she may get her handslapped for that one.

On a South Bay Irrigation water board slateof candidates being pushed by JosePreciado all lost their campaign… looks

¡ASK A MEXICAN!By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: I’m a half-Mexicanmore American than Mexicant(although to Cockasians, I’m sure I’mjust another brown spot on their whitecarpet). I don’t speak Espanole nor do Icare to, not because I’m ashamed but Ijust don’t feel the need. If I lived inanother county I would need to, but Ilive in white-washed SouthernCalifornia, and 80% of my interactionsare English transactions. But in thesmall percentage of meeting with fellowMexis, I confess that I don’t knowSpanish, I get the frustrated angry jeersand, in one occasion, ridiculed. I’minsulted that just because my TACOskills are less than them, I have to beshafted. Here’s the thing: is it REALLYa big deal that I don’t know Spanish,and why can’t I just be left alone andnot explain my reasons and FUCK! It’sjust like my veganism explanation: I’ma Mexican vegan and I don’t speakSpanish and I am PROUD.

No Speaky Spanisho

Dear Pocho: While hard stats on howmany half-Mexis speak Spanish are duro tocome by, the U.S. Census’ 2011 AmericanCommunity Survey offers a bit of a clue. Itshows that about 20 percent of people ofthe 2.8 million people who speak Spanish athome but don’t consider themselves Latinoscan trace their heritage to a Spanish-speaking country. And given that 26 percentof non-Latinos who do habla live in ahousehold that has one Latino member, and30 percent of such Spanish speakers aremarried to a Latina/o, we can surmise (witha lot of mezcal, and birria to soak up thatstatistical cruda) that halfers retain theirSpanish about as well as the Mexicangovernment retains narcos. That said, whocares? If people make fun of you forspeaking bad Spanish, let them; then,congratulate them for being as bigoted asyou.

I play in a fantasy football league with

11 other beaners.Most of them arepretty cool but oneof them is a totalpendejo. When histeam wasmamando vergalast year, he basically gave up andrefused to set his roster. Then, whenseveral of us called him out on it, he toldus to go fuck ourselves.

Normally the commish would ban anowner like this from partaking in futureleague activities, but ours is a puto.Instead of removing the owner from theleague or handing down any sort ofdiscipline, he told us “He was a coolguy” and “We would like him if we onlygave him a chance.” Well, we let thependejo play in the league again thisyear and it was a big mistake—can youbelieve the pendejo did it again? Tomake matters worse, we told himseveral times to set his lineup beforethe games even started. I would ask ourcommish to do something about this but,like I explained earlier, he is a puto.He’s also gone M.I.A. since trade-raping a chunti for the second-best QBin the league.

I could go on and on about theproblems with the league and ouruseless commish, but I’ll cut to thechase: Why are so many Mexicansputos and pendejos?

The Prickly Pear

Dear Gabacho: Between all the talkabout putos, male rape, pubic hair, andmamando verga, methinks you meant tosign up for Grindr, not fantasy football. Thenagain, with its obsession over Packers,sweaty men and asses, looks like you foundthe perfect home for your fantasies—¡Quechulo!

Por Maribel Hastings

Los resultados de la elección intermediafueron algo así como la crónica de una palizaanunciada, para usar la trillada frase.

Como se pronosticó, los republicanosobtuvieron el control del Senado y ampliaronsu mayoría en la Cámara Baja.

Los factores fueron varios: la tradicional faltade popularidad del presidente en el sexto añode su segundo mandato; el hartazgo de loselectores; la menor participación de la base delPartido Demócrata, además de los desaciertosde titulares demócratas.

¿Cuáles son algunas de las lecciones de esteciclo electoral 2014?

Cuando del voto latino se trata, los demó-cratas deben asimilar que si quieren mantenerlos requeridos porcentajes de su apoyo en todaslas elecciones, y no sólo en las generales, debencultivarlo, invertir en campañas de registro ymovilización, y no llegar a última hora a pedirrespaldo. Deben cumplir lo que prometen, tratara estos votantes con respeto y comprender queun latino que no vota es un voto por el PartidoRepublicano.

Aunque el presidente Barack Obama nofiguraba en las boletas ni volverá a figurar, elmal manejo que ha dado al tema migratorio haresquebrajado la confianza de aquellos votanteslatinos para quienes la inmigración es temadefinitorio. Hay cansancio y decepción. Y supartido pagó las consecuencias en estadoscomo Colorado. Eso y la pobre estrategia de lacampaña del senador demócrata Mark Udall,quien no explotó su apoyo a la reforma y a lasacciones ejecutivas, sino que ofreció un ejemploclásico de confiar en que por ser demócratalos latinos deben asumir cuáles son sus posturasy apoyarlo, aunque su campaña ni siquiera seanunciara en español en torno a este tema.

La estrategia de postergar las accionesejecutivas migratorias parece haber des-movilizado a votantes latinos en Colorado. Lohizo en Florida, donde el congresista demócrataJoe García perdió su reelección. Y el retrasonada resolvió, pues dos de los tres senadoresdemócratas sureños que lo solicitaron, MarkPryor y Kay Hagan, de Arkansas y Carolinadel Norte, respectivamente, perdieron susescaños. La tercera, Mary Landrieu, de Loui-siana, irá a una segunda vuelta en diciembre.

Obama ha desaprovechado grandes opor-tunidades. Pudo sellar el acuerdo con losvotantes latinos desde 2008 cuando prometióla reforma migratoria y asumió la presidenciaen 2009 con un Congreso demócrata. Lareforma se pospuso, las deportaciones seintensificaron y, a pesar de eso, en 2012 el apoyode los latinos a su reelección fue de 70%,superando las cifras de 2008, y un factor paraese apoyo fue que Obama amparó a losDREAMers de la deportación con la AcciónDiferida. Tras el fracaso de la reforma por la

vía legislativa, la administración debió girarórdenes ejecutivas que habrían movilizado alvoto latino en 2014 y solidificado su apoyo alPartido Demócrata.

Ahora hay que restablecer lazos y confianzade cara a las generales de 2016, contienda enla que no sería sorprendente que los demócratasrecurrieran a la misma cansada estrategia deseñalar a los republicanos como los malos dela película, no invertir en la movilización devotantes y esperar que sólo por ser demócrataslos latinos los apoyen.

Y si la nominada resultara ser Hillary Clinton,esperar que los recuerdos sobre la bonanzaeconómica de los 90 durante la presidencia deBill Clinton sean razón suficiente para votarpor la ex senadora, aunque hayan pasado dosdécadas y aunque las nuevas generaciones devotantes latinos posean una veta más inde-pendiente.

La interrogante es si, ante la paliza, la CasaBlanca girará las órdenes ejecutivas migratoriaso cederá a las presiones de la nueva mayoríarepublicana que ha advertido que si Obamaprocede, lastimará las posibilidades de unareforma migratoria que ellos aseguran es vi-able en un Congreso republicano. Lo que nodicen los republicanos es que su reforma no esdel tipo que legalizaría a 11 millones deindocumentados, sino una que perpetuaría elmaltrecho statu quo.

El congresista demócrata de Illinois, LuisGutiérrez, haciendo campaña por Udall enColorado, me indicó que si Obama no gira lasórdenes ejecutivas, sería la peor estrategia parael Partido Demócrata.

“Va a haber una crisis y una guerra civilpolítica por el corazón y el futuro del PartidoDemócrata y su relación con nuestra co-munidad si el presidente no actúa”, advirtióGutiérrez. “No importan los resultados de laselecciones: si el presidente no actúa, el debatedentro del Partido Demócrata sería si ese es elpartido que debería ser la casa de los latinos.Quizá nosotros tendremos que inventar unnuevo sitito donde seamos respetados”.

Esta elección probó que los dos partidostienen tarea rumbo a las presidenciales de 2016:los demócratas deben cultivar el apoyo latinocon acciones y no con palabras e invertir en unsector electoral que podrían consolidar comoparte de su base. Y los republicanos puedenganar el Congreso, pero deben demostrar quepueden gobernar, que no sólo son los reyes dela obstrucción y que su ala extremista no seguirádirigiendo la orquesta. Su manejo del temamigratorio será una prueba. En 2016, paraganar la Casa Blanca, requieren del voto latinoy de otras minorías que al presente no tienen.De no cambiar su rumbo con el voto latino,pueden ir preparando su autopsia de 2017.

Rojo 2014: lecciones y autopsias

Recognizing the need for helpShortly after that morning, he had a family

meeting with his brothers and sisters, then talkedto his parole officer.

“I went and told my parole officer, ‘I’m do-ing bad and I’m going to die out here,’” he said.

He craved the structured life prison offeredhim and the limitations being incarceratedplaced on him.

“I needed someone telling me when to sleep,how to sleep, who to hang out with and whonot to hang out with. Prison was the only thingthat could hold me down.”

Instead, with the help of his parole officer hewas sent to a program called Amity in Vista,where the people around him would be lessfamiliar and less likely to encourage a relapse.His counselor had done 26 years in prison andhe helped Yescas become comfortable withwho he was as a person.

“He was the most humble man and someoneI would normally respect for all the bad thingshe had done,” he said. “But he flipped the scripton me and that’s what it took.”

Yescas cleared all the contacts out of hisphone and started pouring himself into volun-teer work and being a guest speaker.

“I took a look at my background and futureand something that I needed in my life was togive back,” he said. “I needed to be of serviceand need to know I’m making up for a lot ofthe disservice that I’ve done to my community,to my family and mostly to myself.”

Making a difference in the futureHe began speaking to other rehabilitation pro-

grams and then started speaking in the SanDiego County Juvenile Court and CommunitySchools and San Diego Unified School Districtclassrooms. He teaches students about emo-tional literacy and self-worth through ProjectA.W.A.R.E. (Attitude When Angry and Re-solving Emotional issues non-violently).

“I just want these kids to have something toroot for,” he said. “They have potential and ifthey set their mind to something they can doit.”

His advice to parents is that if they think theyhave a child that needs to be “fixed,” they shouldpay attention to them and shower them withlove.

“Just love and care for that child until theylearn to do it for themselves,” he said. “Givingthem the ability to have some self-worth iswhere it’s at. A child that cares about himselfisn’t going to jeopardize himself or his freedomor poison his body with any substance.”

Yescas went to school to become a counse-lor for alcohol and other substance abuse.

When he graduated, it was made even moresignificant because of who was by his side.

“I had my little niece there and I was justcrying like a little girl,” he said. “I couldn’t stop.My niece accepted my certificate for me andshe was like, ‘why are you crying?’”

They were happy tears, Yescas said.

A Former Gang Member’s Road toRedemption

So what does that mean?It means that those forces are now on the

retreat. It means that the boycotts, the protests,the Move the Game campaign [launched byRoberto Lovato and Presente.org], to get theMajor League game out of Arizona, all thosecampaigns, all those efforts on the groundworked. That previews for me what’s going tobe the most exciting thing in U.S. politics, whichis what I call the latinoamericanización of U.S.politics.

Can you describe what thelatinoamericanización of American politicsmight look like?

It’s a style of politics where street action,continued organizing in different communitiesand different sectors, and bold actions and cam-paigns are intimately linked to electoral pro-cesses.

Which is very different from the way “poli-tics” is defined in the U.S. The U.S. is bor-dered off from Latin America, so our ideasabout politics are bordered off in the imagina-tion: Politics mean elections. Punto.

Well, if you have the Arizona Chamber ofCommerce endorsing a pro-immigrant candi-date, and calling on the Republican Party totone down and change course, which they’redoing — regardless of who won these elec-tions in Arizona, because you still have about150,00 votes that are not counted as of rightnow – that’s a sea change in politics, and a seachange that’s being led by Latinos.

Why do you use the termlatinoamericanización of U.S. politics?

People in the U.S. only get political when it’selections time. In Latin America, that’s not howpolitics are thought of, conceived of or prac-ticed. It’s more organic and from the groundup, and opens up possibilities that we absolutelyhave to have now here in the U.S.

If you look at the Latino Decisions poll andother polling, people don’t have confidence inthe political process. Our political process it-self may be dead because of the Citizens Uniteddecision. In the face of such a dictatorship ofcorporations, we have really no choice at thispoint but to fight and organize outside of thetwo-party system that’s controlled by thosecorporations.

We have before us a dictatorship. So if wehave a dictatorship – it’s not just military, butcorporations that are in cahoots with the mili-tary, and that profit from military funding – thenwe have to go to those who know about howto fight military dictatorship, like the ones thatthe U.S. created in Latin America. We have togo to Latin American-style politics, from be-low.

Roberto Lovato is a Visiting Scholar at UCBerkeley’s Center for Latino Policy Re-search. He was a founding member ofPresente.org and longtime contributor withNew America Media. Prior to becoming awriter, he was the executive director of theCentral American Resource Center(CARECEN). You can follow Roberto onTwitter @robvato.

The Latinoamericanización of U.S. PoliticsQ & A with Roberto Lovato

like Jose is going to suffer through anotherterm of Teresa Thomas and newly electedmember Steve Castaneda…..

Folks in Escondido mighty upset that theUnions came out and actively campaignedagainst Olga Diaz, Democrat, in favor ofSam Abed…. What were they thinking????Not that it made much of a difference….

Talk about safe seats every one of thestate seats, Assembly and State Senate,

won easly. Lorena Gonzalez did even havea challenger…. Something wrong here whenthere are no viable choices for the voters.

Lastly, with the election of Salas as mayorthis creates an open seat on the council doesthis mean the newly passed Prop B goesinto effect the first of the year allowing for anappointment to fill the seat???? Rumor has itthat Salas promised Humberto Peraza theseat… wonder what the rest of the citycouncil has to say about that!!!

también lo hará la necesidad dedescubrirnuevas historias, y eso sólo puede ser buenopara la diversidad”.

Entre las películas latinas para noviembreestán El misterio de la felicidad, donde unhombre y su esposa tratan de encontrar a sumejor amigo perdido; Purgatorio, un documen-tal que explora la frontera entre Estados Unidosy México, como si se tratara de una escena dela Divina Comedia de Dante; Libertador, unabiografía sobre el héroe de la independenciasudamericana, Simón Bolívar; y To Kill A Man,la selección oficial del Oscar de Chile quecuenta una historia acerca de la ética y la fa-milia.

También se incluye Food Chains, un nuevodocumental producido por Eva Longoria.

“Estamos muy entusiasmados con laspelículas latinas que estamos presentando ennoviembre”, dijo Van Thillo. “En particular, lapelícula producida por Eva Longoria, FoodChains, va a reunir una gran cantidad deinterés y provocar una gran cantidad de diálogo.Tendremos una mesa redonda la noche de lainauguración de esta película, el 28 denoviembre. La discusión de dónde viene nuestracomida y pagar a los trabajadores un salariodigno es un tema muy pertinente en estemomento”.

Otra película que sigue siendo muy relevantedespués de 15 años desde que una versión máscorta se proyectó por primera vez en una delas primeras ediciones del Festival de CineLatino de San Diego a mediados de la décadade 1990 es La Ciudad, que ahora se consideraun clásico del cine que retrata la vida cotidianade varios latinos inmigrantes en los E.U.

“En ese momento, La Ciudad fue unapelícula muy rara”, dijo Van Thillo. “Puso unacara personal a los muchos inmigrantes queviven en Estados Unidos y las luchas diariasque pasan. Aunque algunas cosas han mejoradomucho en el transcurso de 15 años, La Ciudadaún nos recuerda que todavía hay muchotrabajo por hacer en lo que respecta a mejorarlas vidas de todas las personas en los E.U.”

Luego a principios de diciembre, el DigitalGym Cinema presentará la serie NoirMexicano, con un par de películas mexicanasclásicas, incluyendo Cabaretera.

“El cine mexicano noir como las películasCabaretera estaban en la franja, y eso esimportante, porque cada gran época del cinenecesita una película para todos los públicos”,dijo Lorenzo. “Estas películas se inspiraron enel cine noir de Hollywood y dieron a lospúblicos que querían una opción deentretenimiento más arriesgado”.

Van Thillo dijo que los preparativos para elFestival de Cine Latino de San Diego 2015,que tiene lugar en marzo, “están bien en sucamino”.

Él dijo que los organizadores están revisandocientos de filmes en los próximos meses y haránla selección final de las películas antes de enero.

Van Thillo animó al público a apoyar al cinelatino, asistiendo a las proyecciones mensuales,promoverlos entre familiares y amigos, yconsiderar ser voluntarios durante el festival

produced by Eva Longoria.“We´re very excited about the Latino and

Spanish language films we’re screening inNovember,” Van Thillo said. “In particular, themovie produced by Eva Longoria, FoodChains, is going to garner a lot of interest andspark a lot of dialogue. We’ll have a panel dis-cussion on the opening night of this film, No-vember 28th. The discussion of where our foodcomes and paying workers a livable wage is avery pertinent topic at this time.”

Another film that is still very relevant after15 years since a shorter version first screenedat one of the first San Diego Latino Film Fes-tival in the mid-1990s is La Ciudad, which isnow considered a classic film that portrays thedaily lives of several Latino immigrants in theU.S.

“At the time, La Ciudad was a very rarefilm,” Van Thillo said. “It put a personal faceon the many immigrants living in the UnitedStates and the daily struggles they go through.As some things have improved greatly overthe course of 15 years, La Ciudad still remindsus that there’s still a lot more work to do withregards to bettering the lives of all those in theU.S.”

Then in early December, the Digital GymCinema will present the series Noir Mexicano,

Alvarado Rivera family, U.S. citizens, inMatamoros, possibly at the hands of the policeescorts of the city’s mayor, or the macabre dis-appearance and apparent murder in Reynosaof Dr. Maria del Rosario Fuentes Rubio, whoseTwitter messages alerted the public of insecu-rity and corruption in a city with a silencedpress.

Father Conrado Zepeda, Jesuit priest and in-structor at Mexico City’s Iberoamerican Uni-versity, described Mexico as being in “an emer-gency situation” typified by 26,000 disappearedpeople, the regular discovery of secret massgraves and the imprisonment of activists likethe leaders of Sonora’s Yaqui people.

Political analyst Jorge Carrasco Araizagawrote that Mexico is in a fragile, vulnerablecondition as a nation-state:

“Enrique Peña Nieto attempted to adminis-ter the security crisis in Mexico with silence.He wagered on diverting the issue by taking itout of the public discourse, in exactly the op-posite way of his predecessor, Felipe Calderon,who only exacerbated it speaking about it. Butfor all the media image (Peña Nieto) bought,reality imposed itself and ended with exhibitingbefore the world the state he heads, incapableof complying with its reason for being: Guar-anteeing the integrity and property of its citi-zens.”

The developments in Mexico, punctuated bythe rapid spread of student protests and thealmost immediate rejection by politically activesegments of civil society of the top-down ap-pointment of a new governor in Guerrero, con-tain flashes of the recent, massive Chilean stu-dent movement for public education and thepopular revolt of Argentina in the early 2000sthat toppled several presidents in successionand coalesced around the slogan: “Que sevayan todos!,” or roughly translated into En-glish, “Throw all the bums out!”

with a couple of dark, crime-driven classicMexican films, including Cabaretera.

“Noir Mexican cinema like the Cabareterafilms were on the fringe, and that is important,because every great era of film needs a filmfor every audience,” Lorenzo said. “These filmswere inspired by Hollywood’s film noir and gaveaudiences that wanted edgier entertainment anoption.”

Van Thillo said that preparations for the 2015San Diego Latino Film Festival, which takesplace in March, “are well on their way.”

He said that organizers are reviewing 100sof entries over the next few months and willmake final selections for the movies by Janu-ary.

Van Thillo encouraged the public to supportLatino cinema by attending the monthly screen-ings, promoting them among family and friends,and by considering being volunteers during thefilm festival.

“We really need community members to comeout and support these movies more often,” hesaid.

Dr. Juan Ramon de la Fuente, former rectorof the National Autonomous University ofMexico, predicted that the outrage ignited byAyotzinapa would continue to spread nation-ally and internationally. De la Fuente said thecountry was in dire need of an ethical, demo-cratic rejuvenation, the correct application ofjustice and quality education.

“We need governments with four character-istics-legitimacy, honesty, efficiency, and close-ness to the people,” de la Fuente said.

In the weeks approaching Mexico’s long holi-day season, Ayotzinapa is likely to remain atcenter stage. Organized as the Inter-Univer-sity Assembly and National Popular Assembly,students, teachers and community activistshave announced another round of nationwideprotests for November 5-7. Follow-up protestsare on the map for November 20, Mexico’s1910 Revolution Day holiday, and December1, when a caravan is planned to leave Guerrerofor a Mexico City camp-in.

“The government is responsible for this en-tire situation,” contended at student at MexicoCity’s National Polytechnic Institute. “We callon all students to be part of this movement andconduct a national strike in order to bring theState to its knees.”
