Although women now outnumbermen in American colleges nationwide,this reversal of the gender gap is avery recent phenomenon. The fightto learn was a valiant struggle wagedby many tenacious women — acrossyears and across cultures. After theAmerican Revolution, the notion ofeducation as a safeguard for democ-racy created opportunities for girls togain a basic education. However, thateducation was based largely on thepremise that, as mothers, they wouldnurture the minds and bodies of the(male) citizens and leaders. This ideathat educating women meant educat-ing mothers endured in America formany years at all levels of education.
Pioneers of secondary educationfor young women faced argumentsfrom physicians and other “experts”who claimed either that females wereincapable of intellectual developmentequal to men, or that they would beharmed by striving for it. Women’ssupposed intellectual and moral weak-ness was also used to argue againstcoeducation, which would surely bean assault on purity and femininity.Emma Willard, in her 1819 Plan forImproving Female Education, notedwith derision the focus of women’s“education” on fostering the displayof youth and beauty, and asserted thatwomen are “the companions, not thesatellites of men” — “primary exist-ences” whose education must pre-pare them to be full partners in life’sjourney.
While Harvard, the first collegechartered in America, was founded in1636, it would be almost two centu-ries before the founding of the firstcollege to admit women—Oberlin,which was chartered in 1833. Andeven as “coeducation” grew, women’scourses of study were often differentfrom men’s, and women’s role mod-els were few, as most faculty mem-bers were male. Harvard itself openedits “Annex” (Radcliffe) for women in1879 rather than admit women to themen’s college—and single-sex educa-tion remained the elite norm in the U.S.until the early 1970s. As coeducation
MARCH IS NATIONAL WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
Women’s Education - Women’s Empowerment is the theme for NationalWomen’s History Month 2012
took hold in the Ivy League, the num-ber of women’s colleges decreasedsteadily; those that remain still answerthe need of young women to find theirvoices, and today’s women’s collegesenroll a far more diverse cross-sec-tion of the country than did the origi-nal Seven Sisters.
The equal opportunity to learn,which today is taken for granted,owes much to Title IX of the Educa-tion Codes of the Higher EducationAct Amendments. Passed in 1972and enacted in 1977, this legislationprohibited gender discrimination byfederally funded institutions. Its en-actment has served as the primarytool for women’s fuller participationin all aspects of education fromscholarships, to facilities, to classesformerly closed to women. It has alsotransformed the educational land-scape of the United States within thespan of a generation.
Each year National Women’s His-tory Month employs a unifying themeand recognizes national honoreeswhose work and lives testify to thattheme. This year we are proud tohonor six women who help illustratehow ethnicity, region, culture, andrace relate to Women’s Education -Women’s Empowerment.

Washington, D.C. — Today, on In-ternational Women’s Day, the Cen-ter for American Progress released“10 Facts You Need to Know AboutImmigrant Women,” showing that im-migrant women in the United States(documented and undocumentedcombined) comprise more than halfof all immigrants and play a signifi-cant economic and integrative role inour society and economy. Thesewomen start businesses at higherrates than American-born women andare often the ones that push hardestin their families to become Americancitizens.
The everyday portrayal of today’simmigrants generally features a singleHispanic male who is here illegally.In fact, immigrant women in theUnited States (documented and un-documented combined) comprisemore than half of all immigrants andplay a significant economic and inte-grative role in our society andeconomy. These women start busi-nesses at higher rates than American-born women and are often the onesthat push hardest in their families tobecome American citizens.
The flipside of this industriousnessand drive is oftentimes dire. Undocu-mented immigrant women, for ex-ample, face the risk of deportation andthey could lose their American-bornchildren while in detention or after
being deported. Domestic workersface racial discrimination and abusefrom their employers, while far toomany women are trafficked into thecountry and exploited.
We as a nation need to understandwhat immigrant women in our nationface everyday. So for InternationalWomen’s Day we present a list ofthe top 10 facts about immigrantwomen that you need to know.
1. The face of today’s immigra-tion is more female than male. In2010, 55 percent of all people obtain-ing a green card were women. Ofthese women 60 percent were al-ready married, while the other 40percent were single, widowed, or di-vorced. Women comprised 47 per-cent of all refugee arrivals and 53percent of all people who naturalizedto become a citizen.
2. This trend is decades in themaking. Until the 1960s immigrantmen outnumbered immigrant women.But after the passage of the Immi-gration and Nationality Act of 1965,which shifted the United Stateslargely to a system of family-basedadmissions, more women began toarrive. By the 1970s the number offemale immigrants caught up and sur-passed their male counterparts. In2010 there were 96 immigrant menarriving for every 100 immigrantwomen.
3. Immigrants live in families at a

So Demián Bichir didn’t take theOscar for Best Actor, but being nomi-nated is just enough a reason to cel-ebrate Latino films and Latinos in film–and for those of you whose heartsbecame restless with Bichir, guesswhat? His talent doesn’t come solo.It’s three-fold. Why? His two broth-ers, Bruno and Odiseo Bichir are alsoactors with as much potential to fol-low in Demián’s footsteps. In evenbetter news, they’ll be attending thisyear’s San Diego Latino Film Festi-val, so keep an eye out for them.
They’re not the only special gueststo the festival this year, however.Opening up the festival you may havespotted Jorge Salina who was pro-moting “La Otra Familia” this pastThursday. If you missed him you’vegot another shot at running into himat the Hazard Center during his pre-sentation of “Labios Rojos” tonight.Another guest on this year’s roster isRafael Amaya, who returns for a thirdyear to the festival. His popularitymost recently picked up momentumduring his appearance in “Reina delSur”, one of the highest rated novelasin Telemundo history where heplayed Kate del Castillo’s drug-traf-ficking husband. During the festival,Amaya will be featured in “AdiosMundo Cruel” a satire to real lifewhere he explains, “the artist reflectstheir reality and Mexico as our real-ity has many stories to tell, in allforms. “Adios Mundo Cruel” is a

Gracia Molina de Pick is a forceof nature—an activist, feminist, edu-cational reformer, and philanthropistwho has said that one’s “individual lifeonly has meaning if you unselfishlyengage as sisters and brothers in thefight for equality, justice, and peace.”Born in Mexico City in 1930 andraised in a family that valued politicalactivism, Molina de Pick’s commu-nity organizing skills developed in highschool, where she was involved inpost-World War II peace movementsand political efforts to get women theright to vote in national Mexican elec-tions. By 16, she founded and led theyouth section of the Partido Popular,the only political party at the time thatadvocated women’s voting rights.
Molina de Pick moved to Califor-nia in 1957, and earned two degreesin Education. She remembers that inher early days of teaching in a schoolwhere seventy percent of the studentswere Hispanic, children whose onlylanguage was Spanish, were placedin classrooms for those with devel-opmental disabilities. She was ap-palled by the number of Mexicanstudents who were in those classes,and were—in her words — “Failingmiserably, miserably.” She said “Noway, no way”—and thus began a cru-sade for change.
Realizing the critical relationshipbetween parents—especially moth-ers—and their children’s education,Molina de Pick built library resourcesand created reading opportunities toengage the whole family. On the fac-ulty at Mesa College, she foundedand wrote the curriculum for the firstAssociate’s Degree in Chicana/Chicano Studies, which appeared inthe Plan de Aztlan, the 1970 blueprintfor Higher Education for MexicanAmericans. She was the foundingfaculty of the Third College (nowThurgood Marshall College) at theUniversity of California, San Diego,

De Polimigra…Esta no es una columna
“contra Barack Obama”.Necesito dejarlo claro porquealgún lector se me quejó porahí de que “yo siempreescribo “en contra delPresidente”.
La bronca es que cuandouno escribe sobre la realidad,la política y la política deactualidad mezclada con lainmigración, por donde quieraque sea las cosas salen comosalen y prácticamentesiempre salen mal. No soyyo, es la realidad real.
Veamos por ejemplo elúltimo anuncio de BarackObama sobre sus políticas deinmigración: “Desapareceráel Programa 287(g)”, quealgunos dicen que es una“buena noticia”.
Como eso de andarusando números a algunagente la confunde,traduciremos que elPrograma 287(g) es lo quenosotros hemos apodado laPolimigra, un apodo quenación en esta columna deMéxico del Norte y sepopularizó en todo el país enlos últimos años.
El Programa de laPolimigra nació en realidaden la época de George Bushcomo presidente, pero laadministración de BarackObama lo mantuvo vivo y dehecho hasta lo acrecentó unpoco. De hecho, fue laprimera forma que encontrópara deportar un númerorécord de inmigrantes de losEstados Unidos en susprimeros dos años degobierno.
La Polimigra estabadiseñado para entrenarpolicías locales como agentesauxiliares de la Migra, paraque “supieran” cuando unapersona detenida porcualquier motivoposiblemente no tenía papelesde inmigración, y entoncesreportarlos a la Migra. Partede los Polimigras eran lostrabajadores de las prisionesdel país, que le agregaron asus tareas checar losexpedientes de la gente quetenían en custodia esperandojuicios civiles, parareportarlos a la Migra.
Pero este año, elDepartamento de SeguridadNacional anunció que no vana firmar nuevos contratos dePolimigra, y que le darán final Programa 287(g) por ser“poco productivo”. Terminaráen noviembre, cuandoterminan los programas decapacitación de Polimigrasque están en funcionamiento.Bush le heredó a Obama 60contratos de Polimigrafirmados entre la Migra ydepartamentos locales dePolicía, y ahora hay 68.

The two high-tech workerslaughed when asked if theycould afford the smartphonesmade by their colleagues onMexican production lines. “No,no, no,” chuckled Maria andAlma, two Guadalajara work-ers who have labored for yearsin Mexico’s Silicon Valley. Acheap $20 cell phone has tomake do for Maria, while Almauses a similarly low-priced con-traption she won on a five-dol-lar raffle ticket. “It’s not aluxury, it’s a necessity, espe-cially when you have kids,”Alma said.
The two women, who askedthat their real names not beused because of possible em-ployer retaliation, recently satdown with Frontera NorteSurto discuss their jobs and livesas factory workers in Mexico’ssecond largest city and one ofthe world’s most important cen-ters in the electronics industrysupply chain.
An assembly-line worker,Maria makes about $10 for aneight hour shift six days aweek. Although Maria said shegets all the benefits affordedby Mexican law, she must re-new her work contract everytwo months. A quality controlspecialist, Alma has more re-sponsibilities than Maria butgets the same amount of pay.A third woman who joined theconversation worked in the lo-cal high-tech industry until shewas fired two years ago. Un-like Maria and Alma, the friendcompleted higher educationtraining for a technician’s ca-reer but still maxed out her
Mexican High-Tech Workers Demand Justice and Dignityearnings at approximately $500monthly after a dozen years inthe industry.
All the women interviewedhave multiple children to sup-port, and two of them are singlemothers. Living in Guadalajarathese days is expensive, theysaid. The lowest rent hoversaround $100 a month, a cylin-der of gas costs a couple ofdays’ pay and the price ofstaple corn tortillas is now wellabove a dollar. Tomatoes, eggsand the hot chile de arbol es-sential for so many Mexicansauces have all gone up in pricerecently. A family budget forfour or more people can getquickly dented just by forkingout the bus fare necessary formoving around a sprawling city.
To make ends meet, thewomen play what might becalled the Mexican Shuffle.They take out pay-day loansfrom a bank, dip into small sav-ings accounts, accept pack-ages of basic commoditiesfrom churches and contem-plate the ever-expanding doorsof pawn shops. Like other low-income Mexicans, they partici-pate in tandas, a form of eco-nomic solidarity in which mem-bers of a group contribute tenbucks or so and then pay outthe sum total to a member ona rotating basis. Guadalajara’swomen workers get by on a“miracle,” Maria laughedagain. “God is great!”
Maria and her friends saidthey endure an employmentsystem in which a job is on anincreasingly temporary basis,unpaid furloughs pop up, prom-ised bonuses do not material-ize, overtime is not properlycompensated and “labor rep-
resentation” is performed by“unions” the workers often donot even know exist. Com-plaints are waved away by theconstant fluttering of an eco-nomic wand.
“If you don’t like the work,there are five other people out-side willing to do it,” Maria said.“You have no option.” WhileMaria and her friends say theyare too afraid to speak out pub-licly, many workers like them-selves channel their grievancesthrough the non-governmentalMexican organization Cereal.
“These are very gener-alized, across-the boardsituations, especially in theelectronics industry,” saidFelipe Burgueno, Cereal’s out-reach coordinator. “Many ofthe (high-tech) businesses aresustained by women, and manyof them are housewives. Theyare frequently paid less thanthe men and get treatedworse.”
Celebrating its 15th anni-versary this month, Cerealdocuments the complaints ofworkers, negotiates with em-ployers, helps fired workers getseverance pay and advocatesfor the right of workers to col-lective bargaining and unionrepresentation of their choice.Cereal has focused its effortson electronics industry work-ers but is beginning to hearmore from other sectors of theworkforce, according toBurgueno.
Some workers are takingcollective action. On February21, a small group of formerJabil Circuit employees, someof them wearing masks andholding signs, staged a demon-stration outside the gate of the
company’s Guadalajara plant.The protesters demanded thereinstatement of dismissedworkers, freedom of associa-tion, steady work and labor jus-tice. In a press statement, thedemonstrators contended thatpay inequity among “workersperforming the same activi-ties” violated Article 4 of theMexican Constitution thatguarantees equal pay for equalwork.
The Guadalajara action wasalso endorsed by the NationalCoalition of Workers and Ex-Workers of the Electronics In-dustry. A phone call to Jabil’sheadquarters in Florida wasnot immediately returned.
Last fall, Cereal released areport that highlighted the lowpay of electronics industryworkers in Mexico. Accordingto the Jesuit-affiliated group,the $8.70 average rate of dailypay in the electronics industryis sufficient to cover only 60percent of the cost of a basketof food and other routinely-consumed goods. In a produc-tion cost analysis, Cereal as-serted that workers only re-ceive 0.1 percent, or 64 cents,of the sales price of a smart-phone that retails for more than$600 abroad.
Covering a variety of issues,the report included case stud-ies of worker experiences withNokia, Lenovo, Philips, Black-berry, Dell, Foxconn, andCelestica. Since the Mexicanhigh-tech sector is so reliant onsub-contracted workers hiredthrough temporary agencies,the report also discussed theManpower and Azanza tempo-rary employment firms.
“Frequently, workers who
sign seven-day contracts stayin the company months andeven years, signing contractsevery week,” Cereal said in astatement announcing the re-lease of the report.
Jorge Barajas, Cereal coor-dinator for Guadalajara, saidindustry reactions to the reportvar ied . Whi le Hewle t t -Packard, IBM and Sanminawere most responsive, somefinger-pointing went on withBlackberry, for example, tell-ing Cereal to speak with itssupplier Jabil about labor prob-lems, Barajas said. On theother hand, Sanmina rehired 10workers and made severanceand social security paymentsto 20 others, according to thelongtime labor activist.“These are verified, concretechanges,” he said.
For years Cereal and othernon-governmental organiza-tions have dialogued with theheavy hitters in the high-techworld assembled in the Elec-tronic Industry CitizenshipCoalition (EICC), an initiativewhich was launched 8 yearsago to promote business, laborand environmental best prac-tices.
According to the EICC’smission statement, the organi-zation envisions “a global elec-tronics industry supply chainthat consistently operates withsocial, environmental and eco-nomic responsibility.” Availablein 16 languages, the EICC hasa code of conduct its 67 mem-ber companies must commit toimplement in their employmentand production policies.

Valerie Williams, societyeditor for the San Diego Sunliked doing stories about AguaCaliente Race Track and Ca-sino and the Hollywood starsvisiting there. She also attendedand wrote a nice article abouta reception for General IsidroCamacho Gonda, who had justbeen named Territorial Gover-nor for Baja California Norte,by his boyhood friend, thepresident of Mexico.
Much to her surprise, theWagner Nat ional PressDistributers had picked up herstories on Tijuana. The Tijuanastories, because of their widecirculation, reached, the deskof Kingman Stevens in Wash-ington D.C. Stevens had beenUS Ambassador to Mexicosince the first Presidency ofPorfirio Diaz.
Kingman Stevens was re-garded as the expert on all thingsMexico. His office staff had in-dicated in the newspaper mar-gins, that Valerie Williams andher articles was someone worthwatching, especially sinceTijuana with its vices andcharms attracted so manyprominent Americans and nowthe Territorial Governor Cama-cho Gonda was operating a Ter-ritorial Office, on RevolutionAvenue, Downtown Tijuana.
His press Attaché, PepeGrijalva, had taken a special lik-ing to Valerie Williams, intro-ducing her to all the TJ“Influentes” and giving herredhot tidbits about what thestars do in Tijuana. She wasimpressed with some of thewealthy Tijuana families. Shehad taken special liking to theChief of the Military SectionalPolice, Gustavo Meza Jones,cause of his boyish charm andmovie star looks. This imagehowever, belied a reputation ofa very tough man, who wasfeared by all.
Kingman Stevens hadn’tseen his sister Francis “Muf-fin” Stevens Adams, since shemoved to San Diego in 1923,her son, Billy Adam, his onlynephew was the apple of hiseye. He thought that perhaps,an official visit to the Territo-rial Governor in Tijuana wouldgive him a chance to see Muf-fin and Billy, in San Diego. Heregreted not having had a fam-
ily and dedicating himself onlyto his career. Now at age 70,Kingman Stevens wanted tobe closer to his family.
It shocked him when he re-ceived a telegram from his sis-ter Muffin Adams saying, thatBilly had suffered some “ner-vous” problems and was be-ing treated in a Pasadena sani-tarium and could he pleasecome to San Diego. Sheneeded his help. The Adamswere going to get the bastard“Marcos Aviles” no matterwhat it cost and the conse-quences be damned.
Captain Burnside knew allabout the Aviles Brothers andwhat the Adams wanted doneto Marcos, he figured if hecaught Nando or Slim, on arap, in San Diego, he couldsqueeze them, to produce theirbrother Marcos.
He would promise them,that Marcos would do a shortstretch of county time and af-ter that, everything would beok. What he couldn’t say andhoped that the Aviles Brotherswouldn’t figure out that mostlikely Marcos Aviles wouldhave a serious accident, whilein custody.
He really didn’t want to dowhat the Adams family wanteddone to Marcos. He had madeCaptain because he had beensmart enough, to make the rightmoves. This thing with BillyAdams stunk all to hell; he fig-ured the Adams should haveexpended the same amount ofenergy loving and nurturingBilly, that they used trying to de-stroy Marcos Aviles. Most im-portantly, there would be noway for him, to escape beinginvolved and if the wheels cameoff this thing, he knew BuckRiley, would sacrifice him.
He told Francis Adams,that he thought, it would be im-possible to get Marcos Aviles,since he has not crossed theborder in three months. Appar-ently he was tipped off that theauthorities were looking forhim. He didn’t tell her, that thejob could be done, by peoplein Tijuana. He assumed theywould figure that out and worka deal, with someone with con-nections on the other side. Pri-vately, Burnside thought thathis whole mess would blow upon the Adams, working dealsin Tijuana, always turned outto be, a three headed serpent,dangerous on many sides. This
might be a good time to go seehis sister in Montana; he justneeded to take care of theMexican labor problem at theNaval District, before he went.
Valerie Williams is told byher editor, that AmbassadorKingman Stevens will be stay-ing at the Hotel Del Coronado,prior to his visit to the territo-rial Governor Gonda Camacho,in Tijuana. He has requestedto be interviewed by Valerieand has invited her to join hisparty for the visit. The partywill include several prominentSan Diegans, Chief Riley, BigBob Kensington, Edgar andMuffin Adams and the policeescorts of officers Jones andBuonafortuna.
The visit will consist of a for-mal reception, followed by pri-vate meetings and a tour of theCachania Damn, being built onthe eastern edges of Tijuana.After the reception, the major-ity of the guest will return to SanDiego and Ambassador Steve-ns, the Adams and Valerie Wil-liams and the police escortsJones and Buonafortuna willstay at the home of retiredformer Mexican Consul Gen-eral, Bolanos Gomez, who hadbeen a long time friend ofKingman Stevens.
His home sat on a hilltop, inan area called “La Mirada DeLomas”.
Bolanos Gomez had beenfriends with Kingman Stevens,for many years, they hadshared many things, includingsecrets that were very impor-tant. It was then, with a de-gree of confidence, thatKingman Stevens askedBolanos how could his sisterand him, seek justice in Tijuanafor what had been done toBilly, by Marcos Aviles.
Perplexed by what he washearing, Bolanos asked Kingman,in Spanish to join him, outsidein the patio, where they couldtalk, out of earshot, of the oth-ers.
Slyly, Bolanos inquired ofKingman, whether he was cer-tain, that his nephew Billy wastruly a victim or might there besome other reason. Angrily,Kingman responded that hissister and Billy were his onlyfamily and anything, hurtingthem, hurts him and that hewould not tolerate.
Convinced Bolanos Gomezreflected that if he had to dosomething like this, he would use
his old friend Eulalio “Huero”Wilson, to take care of it, withof course the understanding andaccommodation of GustavoMeza Jones, Chief of MilitarySectional Police. He empha-sized, how important it would be,to develop a system of buffersbetween them and anyone con-nected with the Mexican side,in case anything should gowrong. Bolanos warned hisfriend to expect a bit of treach-ery and double-dealing and planto pay, more than the initialagreed upon fee, as they will tryto squeeze you, for more money.
The patio doors were sur-rounded by an alcove of bou-gainvillea trees and just beyondit was a Spanish tiled bench,where Vito and Manuelito hadgone to take a break, it wasperfect cause, they could stillobserve the Ambassador andBolanos and be close enoughto hear and just enough out ofthe line of site to be able to ob-serve, while not being observ-able from the patio or the house.
To their shock, they over-heard, the plans to get MarcosAviles and how they planned touse intermediaries, to hide anyinvolvement of the Ambassador,the Adams or anybody fromSan Diego, especially the au-thorities. Manuelito Jones andVito Buonafortuna quickly fig-ured out that the only authori-ties, who knew or worked withthe Adams Family, was eitherBurnside or Chief Riley. Theyknew that the Chief was toosmart to be that close to trouble,so it could only be Burnside,who was the “Authorities” thatneeded protecting.
This left two puzzling ques-tions for Manuelito and Vito,first who would be the “Buf-fer,” to make the contact andpayment to Huero Wilson andthen second and most impor-tant, was what the hell, couldthey do with this information.They couldn’t tell anybodyabout, what they heard, be-cause it involved two very im-portant persons and it happenedin Mexico and no doubt if theydid tell, who would believethem. They both agreed to donothing and wait and see howthis thing played out and if theywere to be in anyway impli-cated, they could use what theyknew as a way to bargain forthemselves.
Don Jose Puentes hadgrown concerned about his
Logan Shorts-Jack’s Islandcompadre’s son Tony Usq-uivarno, when he heard thatthe cops had arrested him andFreddy Lopez, for startingtrouble at the Naval Districtconstruction project and thata Captain Burnside had hand-cuffed Tony and in front of theworkers given him a major asskicking and promised, thesame for anybody, who wasthinking of causing problems.
He went to Jack’s Islandlooking for Manuelito Jones, tosee if he could help him findout what happened to Tonyand see if he was in theCounty hospital or if he wasin the “Bote,” Don Jose couldpay Dr Mes-hack, to visit himin jail.
Him and Horobado hadmade some money, helpingthat reporter lady; Valerie Wil-liams make contact withHuero Wilson, in Tijuana. Itseemed strange that she wouldpay two hundred dollars, forthat kind of help, but what thehell, if she was stupid enoughto pay it, him and Horobadowere smart enough to keep it.The money they both agreed,would be used to help com-padre’s son Tony, once theyfound him.
Nando and Slim Avileswere very worried, about BillyAdams, the gringo rich kidwho couldn’t handle his mota,got crazy, and tried to kill him-self. They are blaming Mar-cos Aviles and all the San Di-ego authorities are out to gethim. They need to go to seeHuero Wilson, to try to figureout, how they can get theirbrother Marcos, out of thismess.
Huero Wilson listens sym-pathetically, to Nando Aviles;he reflects that I might not bea bad idea if all the AvilesBrothers left Tijuana for awhile, until this Billy Pen-dejada blows over.
He can hide them out atone of his ranch, in Navajoa,Sonora. In fact, one of histrucks was leaving for Nav-ajoa, in the morning and theycould go with him, to sneak outof Tijuana. The Aviles Broth-ers figured that if only a fewpeople, know where theywent, later it will be easier tosneak back into Tijuana.
Little did the Aviles Brosknow that the day before,Huero Wilson and his comp-adre Gustavo Meza Jones had
agreed to take care of Marcos.The fee of $8000 which waspaid by a lawyer from Fresno,would be split between HueroWilson, Gustavo Meza Jonesand Uncle Tony Rocaforte.Huero Wilson and Tony Roc-aforte had not forgotten thatthey were both cheated by theAviles Brothers during thecousin Giuseppe Manganoproblem. Huero Wilson andTony Rocaforte were men thatnobody cheated and got awaywith it. Marcos Aviles had togo, Nando and Slim Aviles,were deadmen in waiting, thatnight on the Rumorosa, Truck17, Dulceria Wilson, bound forSonora, caught fire and blewup; miraculously, the driverBebo “El Bombero” Rojas sur-vived, three other unknown oc-cupants perished.
A post card sent to the Law-yer in Fresno, would be the signthat the job was done. Ironi-cally, Billy Adams after his stayin the Sanitarium, confessed tohis uncle Kingman and his par-ents, that upon reflection, he,not Marcos Aviles, was respon-sible for his problems and thatMarcos was just trying to helpout a friend. He was lookingforward to seeing Marcos andapologizing for all the troublehe caused him.
Uncle Tony Rocaforte, in-vites his nephew Vito and hispartner Manuelito Jones, tolunch at Pepinos, havingworked with Mexicans overthe years, uncle Tony has be-come very adept at speakingSpanish. In Spanish, he tellsthem both that the AvilesBrothers are pan tostado andthat they should stop looking forthem and they don’t have toworry about Captain Burnsideanymore. Apparently, ChiefRiley, Ambassador KingmanStevens and the Adams havegone to the grand jury, charg-ing that Captain Burnside hadbeen the one selling the mari-juana thru the Aviles Brothersand other drug runners fromTijuana and that he was re-sponsible for their disappear-ance, after the Adams familyrejected his extortion attempts.So much for treachery anddouble-dealing.

We’ve been big fans ofRick Najera for a long time. Ifyou don’t know who he is,here’s a few tidbits from ar-ticles and calendar listingswe’ve published on LatinoLAthroughout the years:
“...twice honored as one ofthe most influential Latinos inAmerica.”
“[He] offers his expertise inteaching individuals of all lev-els in a new Actors Work-shop”
“[He] took home his firstALMA Award tonight aswriter for the feature film,‘Nothing Like the Holidays.’”
“He pays tribute to dadswith DADDY DIARIES: Di-ary of a Dad Man.”
“He’s the first Latino to joinTavis Smiley Speakers Bu-reau.”
“His Latinologues, whichran on Broadway, is the onlyLatino showcase of it’s kindin America with a rotatingcast.”
Together with his wife, SusieAlbin-Najera, they’ve beengreat friends of LatinoLA.comand many of our amigos andamigas.
And now they need ourhelp:
This is from CaringBridgea website that helps keeploved ones informed during asignificant health challenge,written by Susie:
“On Saturday, March 3rd,Rick Najera suffered astroke, which we think wascaused as a result from hisphneumonia’s high fever. Thehigh fever created a spike inhis blood pressure whichcaused the stroke and causedhim to black out. When heblacked out, he fell and hit hishead at full impact. He man-aged to regain consciousness,although severely disoriented,and lay down on his bed. Helost a significant amount ofblood. When I came homeand found him, I called 911and the paramedics took himto the trauma center atNorthridge Hospital and heremains in the ICU.
On Monday, March 5th,his breathing tube was re-moved and he was able tobreath on his own. The firstthing out of his mouth was ajoke. The excitement wasshort lived and he has been ina sedative state since, com-
ing in and out, responding hereand there. At this time, we willonly be allowed to have fam-ily visit.
I will try to post daily up-dates but I am a bit over-whelmed myself so bare withme during this challenging andhighly stressful time.
How you can help:A friend advised me to ac-
cept the help that everyone isoffering, so I thought of a fewways:
Cash Donation or Targetgift card: What would reallyhelp is cash or a Target giftcard for cleaning supplies,groceries, to replace all thebedding, etc.
You can send to: RickNajera Donation c/o BethelEncino, 17500 Burbank Blvd,Encino, CA 91316.
Thank you immensely for allthe thoughts, prayers, love andsupport. We truly appreciateit so much.

upholds adherence to all locallaws regarding wages and ben-efits, and explicitly recognizesthe right of workers to freedomof association.
“Workers shall be able tocommunicate openly with man-agement regarding workingconditions without fear of re-prisal, intimidation or harass-ment,” the EICC Code of Con-duct states.
Barajas said the results ofthe management-labor dialoguehave been mixed at best, withprogress noted in different in-dividual grievances but littleheadway made in changingstructural conditions like thegrowing use of temporaryworkers, the lack of genuineunion representation and re-volving lay-offs.
Since the beginning of theyear, Cereal has estimated thatabout 3,000 high-tech workershave been laid off fromGuadalajara plants.
“There was a lot of expec-tation in the beginning but(EICC) has lost a lot of cred-ibility in the last two yearsamong unions and NGOs be-cause of its inability to affectchanges in the industry,”Barajas said. “There is a lot ofdebate about the utility of theEICC, even in the industry.”
The lot of high-tech industryworkers in Guadalajara and
elsewhere will be on theagenda of an internationalgathering scheduled forAmsterdam this upcomingMay. The meeting is expectedto draw representatives fromthe EICC and its Europeancounterpart as well as unionsand groups like Cereal. Ac-cording to Barajas, labor ac-tivists are increasingly lookingto the United Nations as thepossible forum for resolvingworker grievances in an em-blematic industry that spansthe globe.
For Guadalajara high-techworker Maria, the right ofworkers to organize and en-joy a decent career is a fun-
damental one that’s currentlymissing from their lives. “Iwant my job, but I want it withdignity,” she said. “This issomething we deserve.”

LA COLUMNA VERTEBRALEl Soporte Informativo Para Millones
de HispanosPor Luisa Fernanda Montero
Luisa Fernanda Montero
Aunque algunos indicadoreseconómicos parecen hablar derecuperación, lo cierto es quela crisis permanece en muchoshogares y el incremento en losprecios de la gasolina no es unaliciente.
Tras los incrementos regis-trados por más de un mes, lagasolina regular alcanzó unprecio promedio de 3.57 dó-lares por galón en EstadosUnidos y llegó a un tope de4.38 dólares en el estado deCalifornia.
La gravedad del asunto sedibuja, según la Asociación deConductores Estadounidenses– AAA – en que el precio delcombustible en Californiasupera al de Hawái, dondeusualmente es más alto dadala ubicación del estado y sufalta de infraestructura.
Lo cierto es que el uso delcombustible es imprescindibley, de uno u otro modo, nosafecta a todos. Por eso, esbueno recordar —si es que lohemos olvidado— que existenalgunas formas de ahorrargasolina que pueden beneficiarnotablemente nuestro bolsillo.
Para empezar, es importanteque consideremos el uso delvehículo. Tal vez el recorridodiario que hacemos a la escuelao el trabajo puede hacerse apie si decidimos levantarnosunos minutos antes. Ademásde ahorrar gasolina y dinero,
estaremos beneficiándonos delejercicio matutino.
Si esta opción no es viablepor motivos de tiempo o distan-cia, podemos considerar variasalternativas como el viajecompartido, el servicio públicoo la bicicleta. Además deahorrar gasolina podemosbeneficiar al medio ambiente.
¿No puedes vivir sin tu auto?Muy bien es claro que lamodernidad nos impone ciertasdependencias. Pero todavíapodemos ahorrar.
Si lo tienes, usa tu garajecubierto. Un vehículo bajotecho conserva la temperatura.Tu auto permanecerá más tibioen invierno y más fresco enverano lo que te evitará el usopermanente del aire acon-dicionado o la calefacción queconsumen el 20 por ciento dela gasolina de un vehículo.Recuerda: si estás usando elaire o la calefacción, cierra lasventanas.
El carro no es un depósito.Evita la sobrecarga. El male-tero, por amplio que sea, debeusarse solo en caso de ne-cesidad – largo viaje – y paraguardar el equipo de emergen-cia, el neumático de repuestoy ciertas herramientas. Entremás peso tenga tu vehículo,más gasolina consumirá.
Es primordial que revises lasllantas periódicamente paracontrolar que la presión del aire
sea correcta. Los neumáticosdesinflados se desgastan másrápido y ofrecen resistencia almotor aumentando el consumode gasolina.
Los filtros sucios hacen queel motor se esfuerce más de lonormal y consuma más gaso-lina, por ello es importantemantener el auto en óptimascondiciones.
Usa gasolina de más bajooctanaje. Si el manual de tuauto no especifica que debesusar sólo gasolina ‘Premium’,consumir gasolina de altooctanaje es un desperdicio dedinero.
Planifica tus salidas. Si tienesque hacer varias gestiones; iral supermercado, al banco o lafarmacia, procura hacer unaruta inteligente. No pases porlas mismas zonas varias vecesy si es posible, hazlo en horasde poco tráfico vehicular.
Si lo consideras siemprepodrás encontrar una forma deahorrar un poco, y no lo olvides,caminar es una opción que nodebemos descartar y quepuede beneficiar no solo nues-tro bolsillo, si no tambiénnuestra salud.

“Vitamina-T”: Tacos, tosta-das, tamales, tortillas, tortas,totopos, tlacoyos, etcétera. Unconjunto de antojitos mexi-canos ricos en calorías einofensivos si se consumenmoderadamente. La gastrono-mía de nuestro país es muyvariada y su tradición dota desiglos atrás. Sin embargo, cabemencionar que nuestros ante-pasados no padecían sobre-peso.
Actualmente, México tieneuno de los mayores índices deobesidad en el mundo, segúnmuestra el estudio del añopasado de la Organizaciónpara la Cooperación y elDesarrollo Económico (OC-DE). Asimismo, una de cadados personas hoy en día tienesobrepeso o es obesa en casila mitad de los países de laOCDE.
Ahora bien, los especialistascoinciden en que los Trastor-nos del Comportamiento Ali-mentario (TAC) van más alláde lo que comemos, y alparecer están ligados a proble-mas emocionales y psico-lógicos. Con lo que no setrataría de llenar sólo el estó-mago o satisfacer una necesi-dad de comida, sino más bien
de quitar un vacío interior yeliminar la ansiedad.
En mi familia tuvimos queenfrentar el problema cuandomi hijo iba a la universidad. Porla mañana estudiaba y por latarde trabajaba. Al disponer demuy poco tiempo, le entrabaduro a la comida rápida y a losantojitos. Peor aún, la tendenciaa engordar le hacía estarpreocupado e inquieto. Susemociones se estaban ligandoa la comida y empezó a aceptarun sentimiento de culpa cuandoingería algún alimento conexceso de calorías o grasa.
Fue entonces cuando mi hijoy yo decidimos ir mas allá delas soluciones físicas tradi-cionales y buscar un alimentoque lo ayudara a tener dominio,confianza, control y le diera lalibertad de sentirse pleno ysatisfecho con lo que Dios nosda. Así, juntos empezamos apercibir que esta dificultad erala oportunidad de comprenderalgo, de avanzar espiritual-mente y alcanzar la libertad desaber elegir la forma, la can-tidad y la calidad de lo quequería comer — eximiéndoseasí de toda culpa y ansiedad.
La Biblia está llena de ideasque nos pueden ayudar a bajarde peso o medidas. Una deellas se encuentra en Mateo 5:6cuando Jesús dice: “Biena-venturados los que tienenhambre y sed de justicia,porque ellos serán saciados”.A partir de aquí, consideramosun deseo justo el sentirnossatisfechos, el ser perfectos, elllenar nuestro interior de afectoy el cumplir con la necesidadde crecer en el conocimientode lo que nos hace especiales,únicos y esenciales para elmundo.
Me pareció interesante queescritores mundialmente reco-
nocidos como el médico Dee-pak Chopra estén considerandoel enfoque espiritual y surelación con el bienestar físico.En su libro “Peso perfecto”(Perfect Weight), Chopraescribe: “Cuando usted sesiente bien en todo sentido:físico, emocional y espiritual,significa que va en la direccióncorrecta”.
Para mí el ir en la direccióncorrecta es desarrollarseespiritualmente. Y mi definiciónde espiritualidad es el man-tener siempre una relaciónbidireccional con el amor. Talcomo nos lo mostró Jesús.
Algo que mi hijo y yo empe-zamos a notar es lo que pasacuando podemos ver bajo esteprisma de amor la relación delhombre con su creador, Dios,la esencia y naturaleza delbien. La presencia de la bon-dad, del interés por nuestrobienestar, de fortalecernosdesde nuestro interior seconvierte en nuestro alimentoespiritual. Y este, a su vez, seencarga de poner orden ennuestros pensamientos y dar-nos la fuerza para mantener ladisciplina que nos permitehacer elecciones de alimentoscada vez más acertadas.
Pienso que el balance ade-cuado empieza en la cons-ciencia de cada persona y que,por lo tanto, quizás nos intereseconsiderar el alimento espiritualcomo una manera nutritiva deacceder a ideas que nos satis-fagan, y motiven a accionessaludables de manera cada vezmás consistente, haciendo quenos sintamos libres, satisfechosy bien en todo sentido. ¡Buenprovecho!

greater rate than native-bornAmericans. Among undocu-mented immigrants living in theUnited States today, 45 percentlive in families comprised ofcouples and children. The per-centage of legal immigrants liv-ing in families is 34 percent, butonly 21 percent for native-bornAmericans.
4. Immigrant women em-brace citizenship and encour-age integration. According to2009 public opinion research byNew America Media, immigrantwomen from a broad range ofcountries are overwhelminglythe drivers of naturalization intheir families, with 58 percentof respondents stating that theyfelt the strongest in their familyabout becoming an Americancitizen. Overall, 84 percent ofthe women surveyed want tobecome citizens, with a whop-ping 90 percent of female im-migrants from Latin Americanand Arab nations indicating theirdesire to naturalize.
5. Immigrant women (likemost) make enormous sacri-fices for their families. NewAmerica Media found that only13 percent of immigrant womenwork as professionals in theUnited States, even though 32percent of them worked assuch in their home country. Thestudy concludes, “Women maywell be putting devotion to thewellbeing of their families aheadof personal pride in choosing thejourney to America.”
6. Immigrant female busi-ness owners outpace theirAmerican-born counterparts.In 2010, immigrant womencomprised 40 percent of all im-migrant business owners and20 percent of women businessowners in general. Thesewomen are now more likely toown their own business thanAmerican-born women (9 per-cent to 6.5 percent, respec-tively.)
But not all the news is rosy7. Immigration enforcement
is taking its toll on immigrantfamilies. Rising deportations ofundocumented immigrants areseparating children from theirparents. A 2011 report from theApplied Research Centerfound that more than 5,000children living in foster care hadparents who had been detainedor deported from the UnitedStates. They estimate that an-other 15,000 children will endup in foster care in the nextfive years because of immigra-tion enforcement.
8. Immigrant women work-ers are vulnerable to abuse atwork. Immigrant women makeup close to the entire popula-tion of domestic workers inmajor cities such as New York,with one study by DomesticWorkers United finding that 33percent of domestic workers inNew York City experiencedsome form of physical or verbalabuse, often because of theirrace or immigration status.
9. They are also vulnerableto abuse at home. Domesticabuse affects immigrant andAmerican-born women alike,but immigrant women sufferfrom particular vulnerabilities,particularly from abusive part-
ners who use the woman’simmigration status to keepthem from leaving an abusivemarriage or relationship.
10. Human trafficking isanother form of abuse enduredby immigrant women and chil-dren. The U.S. Department ofJustice estimates that eachyear 50,000 people are traf-ficked into our nation. U.S. of-ficials can grant up to 5,000 so-called “T” Visas to help freeimmigrant women forced into,among other things, the sextrade, but studies find thatbarely any are being granted.In 2010, for example, only 447T Visas were approved.
We as a nation have an ob-ligation to protect women in ourcountry no matter where theycome from—something impor-tant to reflect upon this Inter-national Women’s Day. But wealso have reason to celebratethe important contributions ofimmigrant women to our soci-ety and our economy. As anation of immigrants, we cando no less.

Community Notes:............. ¡ASK A MEXICAN!By Gustavo Arellano
Dear Mexican: I’m so perplexed bymy Mexican neighbor. For one, he al-ready has four girls, and I just saw hiswife—and looks like she’s pregnantAGAIN! What really bothers me is thatI live in an affordable housing unit. Therent is cheap and based on our income.He has a new Ford F150 truck and hiswife drives an older model BMW. Well,what bugs the hell out of me is that hedigs in the apartment complex trashcansevery freakin’ day. I live in a large com-plex where there are about six trashbins. Every morning, before he takeshis girls to school, he digs in all of themfor recyclables.
I wonder if I’m just jealous, becausehe must make like $300 a week on allthe stuff he recycles, but it really bugsme. If he’s so freakin’ poor and diggingin the trash for an occupation, why musthe still continue to bring more childreninto the world? The city I live in has aNo Scavenging Law. I really want toreport him, but I feel guilty. I feel like Ishould let him keep digging in the trash,since he has a family to feed. Also, Iguess I’m nosey too, ‘cause I wonder ifthey work? I don’t think they do, and Iwonder if they’re abusing welfare? AndI wonder how many freakin’ girls he’sgoing to have before he gives up hisdream on having a son.
Okay, well, I hope you can help mewith this issue. Am I evil? Should I careless? Help.
Pocha Cabrona in Chino
Dear Pocha: You’re not evil, chula: justpendeja. You—an assimilated Mexican-America—still have to live in affordablehousing? So much for breaking the stereo-types of Mexicans as lazy peons. Mean-while, that wab that bugs you so much ishustling, digging through garbage for acouple of extra bucks—it’s obviously work-ing out good, since he’s living a better lifethan your floja ass. Who cares if he wantsto have more kids? That’s his decision, notyours. Maybe you’d be better off in life ifyou picked through trash—but I’m sure you
think that’s beneathyou. Meanwhile,you’re wondering ifyour Mexicanneighbor is on wel-fare when YOU areon the governmentqueso. My immi-grant parents, whoalways scrimped and saved and boughtmassive trucks and SUVs because no hon-orable hombre should ever leave homewithout one, never took a dime—that isbeneath them, since that’s such an Americanthing to do. If ever there were a case forMexicans to not allow their children to as-similate, you’d be the poster niña, pendeja.
I got asked to participate in aInternet radio show where I, as analleged (mostly by me) Mexican come-dian, will be asked questions like,“Why are Mexicans so funny?” SinceI’m as Mexican as a Del Taco stand, Idefer to you for some insight and wis-dom that I can share to the show’s fouraudience members.

De Polimigra...(con’t de página 2)
La eliminación delprograma le ahorrará al país17 millones de dólares.
…A Polipeor!A estas lecturas se
preguntará el lector ¿dóndeestá lo malo? Es decir, ¿quépuede haber de malo eneliminar un programa queademás de gandalla probójustificar por todos lados elperfilamiento racial de loslatinos, como en el caso delSheriff Joe Arpaio de Arizonay otros changos similares quelo usaron para justificar suracismo?
Más aún, según un estudiodel año pasado del Institutode Políticas Migratorias, elPrograma de la Polimigrahabía “desatado el miedo y ladesconfianza hacia lasautoridades” locales quefirmaban con la Migra.
Mejor aún, ¿que puede
haber de malo en terminar unprograma terrorista degobierno?
Lo malo está en que losahorros se van a dedicar a unprograma peor, uno de losfavoritos de Barack Obama,el de Comunidades Seguras.
“Comunidades Seguras esun programa más consistente,más eficiente y más efectivopara identificar y removercriminales y otrosextranjeros”, dice SeguridadNacional.
En otras palabras, laadministración de Obama leconfiará más a lascomputadoras que analizanhuellas digitales que a lospolicías de la calle, porqueasí puede agarrar másgente para deportarla entodas las cárceles yestaciones de policía delpaís en vez de solamente68 lugares.
Es la Polimigra enesteroides, manejada porcomputadora. Cada vez queuna persona es detenida por
cualquier cosa se checan sushuellas digitales y listo. LaMigra hace todo el trabajo yno tiene que hacer“contratos” ni entrenar anadie.
En corto, la buena noticiaes bastante mala. En primerlugar, no desaparece laPolimigra hasta noviembre,después de las elecciones, locual ya da mala espina de porsí. Parece ser otra de esasjugadas para ganarse el votolatino con una mentirota delas que acostumbra.
En segundo lugar, sustituyea los policías, que a vecescumplían y a veces no, conun eficiente programa decomputadora.
Luego por eso me dicenque mi columna “habla malde Obama”. Y por eso yodigo que no, que él solito semete en broncas. Yo nomáslas explico para no irse con lafinta…

beautiful orchestration of dif-ferent elements that serve astools to tell a story within achaotic scenario, that of acruel world.”
A few other recommenda-tions directly from the man whostarted it all are the “…Chileanfilm titled “¿Alguien ha vistoa Lupita?” starring Mexicanpop star, Dulce Maria. And forany zombie lovers out there,don’t miss Juan of the Dead.We’re also going to have greatmusic and dancing at each ofour after parties: [the next onesare] Centerpiece Party onMarch 14, and Closing NightParty on March 17. These par-ties are going to be lots of funfor everyone” expressed theSan Diego Latino Film Festi-val’s Founder and ExecutiveDirector, Ethan Van Thillo.
As for new aspects to lookforward to at the festival thisyear, Van Thillo says “there area couple of new things at thefestival this year. For one, wehave a whole celebration ofLatinos on TV. Because Lati-nos are underrepresented inthe tv industry, we wanted tohighlight the great work theyare doing and call attention tothe fact that they are still con-tributing wonderful things to
US television. We also have agreat showcase of New Chil-ean Directors, made possiblein part by the Chilean Ministryof Foreign Relations. This is ashowcase of up and coming di-rectors from Chile, and theyhave given us four films thathave great stories and great di-versity. From a fictional storyof the 2010 Chilean earthquake“3:34 Terremoto en Chile”,to a fascinating film about aChilean immigrant in Nashville“Musica Campesina”, thefilms represent diverse voicesfrom Chile, which is very ex-citing to see.”
In the arts scene, LisaFranek, the festival’s ArtisticDirector encourages everyoneto take advantage of the artis-tic blend of film and exhibitionsthroughout the venue, as wellas at the parties. “As always,we try to incorporate many dif-ferent art forms besides filminto the festival. We’ll have livemusic at our parties, as well asin the theater lobby every nightfrom 6-7pm, and there will alsobe an art exhibit in the theater.”
In case you’re wonderinghow the festival’s officialposter came about this year,Franek explains “this is the thirdyear we’ve had a competitionfor our poster design, and wereceived entries from aroundthe world. This year’s winnerwas chosen by a jury of localartists. The winner they chosewas a student from France whois studying in London.”
Overall, if you’re a local thefestival is the place to be. Ifyou’re visiting, it’s an event notto miss. It’s really wonderfulto see what started as a stu-dent film festival nineteenyears ago, today has bloomedinto a internationally renownedLatino Film Festival just a yearshy of celebrating 20 years ofdedicated evolution translatedinto a long list of past, presentand to-be special guest appear-ances, over 3,500 screenedfilms from across Latin Ameri-ca to the United States.
Van Thillo has createdmountains and still manages tooffer students an array of me-dia options through classes“We will continue our missionto serve the community withour media classes and techcamps for kids and teens, aswell as our workshops foradults.” As for future plans hesays “We’re also hoping toexpand our exhibition programsto be able to screen films yearround in our new facility on ElCajon Blvd, in addition to get-ting ready for our big 20th an-niversary coming up for nextyear’s festival. It’s going to bea big year for us.”

PAGE 6 MARCH 9, 2012 LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO
As the race for mayor in thecity of San Diego heats up,the main topic of this year’scampaign will be Pension Re-
form. The main proponent behind thereform effort on the ballot this June ismayoral candidate Carl DeMaio. He, inessence, is running two campaigns: thePension Reform Initiative and of coursehis mayoral campaign. And as expected,both are intrinsically intertwined.
The success of the pension reform ini-tiative will go a long way in determiningthe success of the DeMaio for mayorcampaign. For this reason, as a newspa-per we are seemingly updated daily bythe DeMaio camp on pension reform is-sues. Apparently DeMaio is a one trickpony: he rarely sends out any other newsupdates on the rest of his campaign plat-form. Readers and viewers of news notethat DeMaio is able to attract a lot of airtime touting the issues of pension re-form.
DeMaio’s latest missive goes on aboutthe increase in the number of employ-ees earning $100,000 this past year. Hestates that there is a 9% increase overlast year.
We have a few issues with his latestnews.
First, the growth of those earning$100,000 or more included several ChiefFinancial Officer’s salaries and otherexecutive type salaries. In today’s mar-ket CFOs earning this type of salary isthe norm. Anything less and the citywould be unable to hire the type of pro-fessional required to adequately fulfillthese positions. For example, this sameweek it had been recommended that thecity council salary be increased to
$175,000 to be more in line with themarket. Of course with this being anelection year, political salaries was voteddown… this time.
It was the fire department where thegreatest increase in those earning over$100,000 was most significant. This isa catch-22 sort of situation. Over theyears the city council has decreased theannual budget for the fire department,leading to fewer new hires, which thenrequired the existing personnel to domore, work longer and earn overtime.When most candidates run on strong Fireand Police platforms, DeMaio is sug-gesting further cuts to an alreadyslimmed down department.
Our second issue with this type of in-formation is that we see this as a redherring. The pension reform initiativeis primarily targeted at the rank and fileworkers within the city whose contractsare negotiated through the collective bar-gaining process. These are the workerswho have seen their pay cut, their ben-efits cost rise, and they earn a lot lessthan $100,000 per year, more like$40,000 per year. Yet it is with the rankand file where the pension reform willhave the greatest impact.
DeMaio is using the salaries of CFOsand other top executives to rationalizethe reform, and further erode the incomeof the middle class working families.
In reality pension reform will havelittle impact on the salaries of SanDiego’s CFOs. Police and Fire person-nel will in the long run be taken care ofby the voters who insist on these servicesand by elected officials who normallysupport strong Police and Fire services,with the exception of DeMaio.
The $100,000 income club a red-herringfor pension reform?

Los columnistas dedicados a la difusión delos problemas y virtudes de los gruposminoritarios siempre han estado al filo de lacrítica de la derecha.
Periodistas como Yvette Cabrera nosimplemente están encargados de reportar larealidad de su comunidad, sino también tienenla oportunidad de agregar su opinión subjetivapara darle un perfil humano, crítico y más reala sus escritos.
Yvette fue cesada como columnista delperiódico OC Register después de más de doceaños de trabajo diligente. Con esta decisión,los ejecutivos de este periódico no solo le quitanel pan de cada día a su familia, sino tambiénestán poniendo una bufanda invisible sobre loslabios de la comunidad latina.
Por más de diez años, Yvette ha sido laportavoz de los latinos en una comunidadaltamente conservadora. Orange County, deacuerdo a Lisa McGirr, catedrática y autoradel libro Suburban Warriors: The Origensof the New American Right, es el lugar dondenació la “nueva derecha de la sociedadnorteamericana”.
Este condado es cuna de grupos másradicales de California. La Coalition for Immi-gration Reform y el Minuteman Group, entreotros, son nativos de estas tierras. Aquí se gestóla infame Propuesta 187. Una de sus ciudades,específicamente Costa Mesa, fue el lugardonde se introdujo el plan de promover a lospolicías como agentes migratorios. Hoy, estapropuesta es una realidad consumada en Ari-zona y Alabama.
Sin miedo y con dignidad propia, YvetteCabrera siempre tuvo la disponibilidad de
confrontar a estos grupos por medio de artículoscoherentes y rigurosos.
Cuando ella iniciaba su carrera comocolumnista, y yo empezaba mi carreraacadémica en el Orange Coast College, Yvetteme solicitó que abriera un espacio de mi vidaprivada y se lo entregara a nuestra comunidadpara que, a través de mi experiencia, nuestragente pueda valorar el trajín intenso queconlleva a un inmigrante a surgir en el medioacadémico.
“Nada malo que te afecte surgirá en mi co-lumna”, me dijo. El artículo fue publicado endiciembre de 2000.
Ocho años más tarde, tras haber culminadoexitosamente mi libro, Terror in the LatinoBarrio: The Rise of the New Right in LocalGovernment, Yvette nuevamente me tendió lamano. Esta vez, su columna estaba dirigida adesglosar los problemas políticos que afectabana la comunidad latina en la Ciudad de CostaMesa. Y fue publicado bajo el título de “Tack-ling Costa Mesa´s Terror Problem” en Primerode Mayo de 2008.
Un logro especial de Yvette fue convertir supluma en un arma de los derechos civiles y losderechos humanos. Siempre fue fiel a susideales, a su cultura y a su nación.
Su alejamiento como comunista del OC Reg-ister es un golpe duro para su familia, su per-sona y para la comunidad latina.
Tengo mucha confianza que su experienciay su capacidad como escritora le permitiránencontrar otros caminos viables en su profesión.Good luck Yvette. Tu amigo.

Valor de Yvette CabreraBy Wade Henderson
This week’s 47th commemoration of theBloody Sunday March of 1965 marks a newphase in the civil rights movement. It repre-sents a turning point for people from all back-grounds, who are joining together, not only toremember our shared past, but also to fightfor a shared future. It’s a moment of recogni-tion from all sides that, though our nation hasprogressed since 1965, we are not yet fin-ished with the struggle to include everyone inthe fullness that American life has to offer.
Until recently, efforts to undermine civil andhuman rights had taken a subtler approachthan in times past. The targets have diversi-fied, the rhetoric has evolved. The deadly vio-lence that once denied people their most ba-sic rights – to vote, to attend public schools,to climb the economic ladder, and to march –has today been masked by a more genteellanguage, and replaced with a more systemictype of discrimination. Yet the efforts are stillpernicious.
But Alabama’s H.B. 56, by targeting Latinosand immigrant populations for harassment andarrest, has resurrected the dark days offearmongering and racism. Under this law, any-one who “looks foreign” is a target of a lawthat will be enforced by racial profiling. Mean-while, across the country, voter suppressionlaws are making it increasingly harder forpeople of all backgrounds – particularly mi-norities – to participate in the democratic pro-cess.
The violence surrounding the first march fromSelma to Montgomery in 1965 was a climac-tic event for our nation and led to the intro-duction and passage of the Voting Rights Actof 1965. It cost the lives of men like JimmieLee Johnson, an African-American protester
who was murdered while protecting hismother, and Reverend James Reeb, a Whiteminister from Boston who was savagely beatento death and denied treatment by Selma’spublic hospital. But they did not die in vain.Days later, President Johnson’s speech a jointsession of Congress summed up the impor-tance of fighting these injustices saying ‘‘theircause must be our cause too. Because it isnot just Negroes, but really it is all of us, whomust overcome the crippling legacy of bigotryand injustice.”
Now is the time to repeal the most recentspate of oppressive and backward-lookinglaws, which seek to revive the “legacy of big-otry and injustice” that President Johnson saidwe would overcome. H.B. 56 has kept chil-dren from attending school, stopped mothersand fathers from working, and isolated fami-lies who live in fear of being profiled or ha-rassed. Voter suppression has once again re-turned in the form of narrowed voter windows,burdensome voter ID laws, and restrictionson registration.
Today’s repressive laws in Alabama andelsewhere recall the sins of the past. And thisweek, individuals of conscience from everybackground revive the spirit of Dr. King,Jimmie Lee Jones, Reverend Reeb, andcountless others who were bold enough tostand up against naked bigotry when their liveswere at stake.
Bigotry can’t be tweaked, it cannot hide be-hind evolved rhetoric or a genteel denial offreedom, and it cannot be allowed to metas-tasize within an America that’s as good as itsideals. And so we all will continue to march –together.

Selma to Montgomery March Marks aNew Phase for the Civil and Human

Todo indica que al locutor conservador deradio, Rush Limbaugh, se le fueron las lucescon los comentarios que hizo acerca de laestudiante de leyes de la Universidad deGeorgetown, Sandra Fluke, a quien calificó de“prostituta”, después de que la chica acudió alCapitolio para abogar que el gobierno decobertura a los anticonceptivos que utilizan lasmujeres.
Independientemente de que el debate sobreel uso de la píldora es uno que lleva indivi-dualmente a las creencias de cada mujer, lodicho por Limbaugh ante su vasta audiencia esrepugnante.
“¿Qué se puede decir de la universitaria Su-san Fluke [sic] que se presenta ante un comitédel Congreso y básicamente dice que hay quepagarle por tener sexo? ¿En qué la convierteeso? La convierte en una mujerzuela, ¿no escierto? La convierte en una prostituta. Quiereque le paguen por tener sexo. Está teniendotanto sexo que no le alcanza el dinero para pagarlos anticonceptivos. Quiere que usted y yo ylos contribuyentes le paguemos para que ellatenga sexo”, fue la narrativa de Limbaugh.
Pero, no solo eso, Limbaugh instó a laestudiante de derecho que diera a conocerpúblicamente vídeos íntimos.
“Si vamos a pagar por sus anticonceptivos, ypor tanto pagar para que (Fluke) tenga sexo,queremos algo en contraprestación. Queremosque publique los videos en internet para quetodos podamos ver”.
Fluke cursa tercer año de derecho y fuepresidenta del grupo Estudiantes de Derechode Georgetown en Defensa de la JusticiaReproductiva. Su presencia en el Congreso sedebió a una invitación a dar su testimonio anteel Comité de Supervisión y Reforma Guberna-mental de la Cámara de Representantes.
La condena a las palabras de Limbaugh haprovenido de todos los frentes. Del presidenteBarack Obama, que se comunicó con la alumnade leyes para expresarle su solidaridad, deintegrantes del Partido Republicano, queusualmente son áulicos de Limbaugh, yprincipalmente de las mujeres, que indignadashan decidido llamar a un boicot contra el
comentarista radial.Tal parece que la campaña está dando
resultado y Limbaugh, ya reculó ofreciendodisculpas a Fluke. Pero esto solo pasó despuésde que varias corporaciones anunciaron el retirode los comerciales de los que se sostieneLimbaugh.
Lo que está en juego para el locutor es laterminación de su contrato por 400 millones dedólares, que firmó en 2008 y culmina en 2016.
Limbaugh es la personalidad de la radio conmayor audiencia en el país, lo escuchan de lunesa viernes, durante tres horas del medio día, cadasemana, más de 15 millones de personas.
El locutor reconoció una adición a las drogas,pero ha condenado el consumo de narcóticos.
En el tema de inmigración no ha podido sermás displicente y sarcástico.
En los noventa, antes de convertirse en unode los paladines en contra de los inmigrantesindocumentados, dijo: “déjenles los trabajos queno requieren habilidades especiales, déjenleslos tipos de trabajos que no requierenabsolutamente ningún conocimiento - dejen quelos mexicanos, estúpidos y no preparados, haganesos trabajos”.
En 2006, Limbaugh llamó a los indocu-mentados “especies invasoras” y los comparócon “moluscos”. Ese mismo año dijo que “losinmigrantes mexicanos no tenían disposiciónpara el trabajo”, agregando que son un“elemento renegado” y “potencialmente crimi-nal”.
En 2009, falsamente afirmó que los indocu-mentados iban a estar cubiertos en plan de saludde Obama y en 2010, expresó que losindocumentados eran “un ejército invasor queusa nuestros servicios y toman nuestrostrabajos”.
En 2011, preguntó si las autoridades médicashabían publicado alguna vez una historia sobrede los peligros de adquirir enfermedades alacostarse con ilegales.
Dado que el sector proinmigrante no haintentado callarlo, yo espero que la valentía delas mujeres lo logre.

Rush Limbaugh: el precio de la grosería
LA PRENSA SAN DIEGO MARCH 9, 2012 PAGE 7
Commentary/Opinion Page
The United States Government has accumu-lated the largest debt in the entire history of theworld.
According to the web site “u.s.debtclock.org”the current 15-trillion dollar obligation exceedsan entire years output of our nation and contin-ues to grow at warp speed.
I would think that even hard-left elected offi-cials like Congressman Bob Filner would ob-ject to Federal expenditures other than thoseessential for the health, safety and well beingof Americans, their nominal purpose.
In thinking that, I would be wrong as I learnedby a recent visit to San Diego’s “Chicano” parkin Congressman Filner’s district.
I am still mystified as to why “Chicano’s”even have their own park. I looked in vain fora Gringo, African-American, Chinese, Vietnam-ese or other ethnic parks. What possessed aprior city council to buy into such a racist, whollyun-American undertaking is a puzzle.
You can tell where Chicano Park is by thegraffiti on the CALTRANS highway accessspans leading to and from Coronado Bay Bridge.
Throughout the rest of the state, CALTRANSannually spends millions and risks the lives oftheir employees removing signs of gangs, po-litical candidates, or scatological body parts.
But not in the “Barrio Logan.”CALTRANS apparently gave up and de-
clared the bridge stanchions an ethnic graffitifree-fire zone thereby condemning the residentsof Barrio Logan to a visual daily barrage ofanti-American political propaganda from theAmerican Hispanic hard left: La Izquierda.
But freedom to litter the bridges with graffitiis now apparently not enough.
What La Izquierda needed was one million,six hundred thousand dollars granted to themby the deficit-dollar spending United States gov-ernment to paint a whole new, updated, andrefreshed version of their hard-left propagandamurals.
Don’t get me wrong. I like Mexico. And Ilike Mexicans.
I have traveled throughout the Estados Unidosde Mejico from the Yucatan to the Pacific. Andfrom the U.S. border to Guatemala.
It is a big, diverse, beautiful country filled withwonderful Christian people.
They make great food, wonderful music, anddances that communicate a happy optimism thatcounters the grinding poverty imposed by 200years of communist and socialist governments.
Their poverty has now been augmented witha horrible murder rate that results from theirequally pernicious gun-control and no-death-penalty laws.
Thus I have no objection to celebrating thingsMexican in the United States. I love Cinco deMayo in Old Town and Las Posadas at Christ-mas time.
In my view, Mexico and Canada are the twonations in the world most important to the safetyand well being of Americans.
Let some nut case like Hugo Chavez takeover Mexico as nearly happened in the last elec-tion and we will have Hezbollah rockets launch-
ing from the foothills south of our borders.However, what is being painted on the
Coronado Bridge is not a celebration of Mexicoor important Mexicans-Americans in theUnited States.
The murals being added or refreshed are pri-marily communist propaganda painted withmoney borrowed on the “full faith and credit”of the American taxpayers.
Those communist murals will be long goneby the time the money spent to paint them ispaid back, if ever. In the meantime, our kidswill be paying interest on the forgotten muralsuntil the end of time.
And what murals are those?There are portraits of Che Guevara and Fi-
del Castro. Between the two of them, they mur-dered or imprisoned thousands of Hispanics.Castro offered the Russians a base in Cubafrom which to launch nuclear missiles againstAmerican cities.
There is a memorial to Salvador Allende re-peatedly alleged by the left to have been the“democratically elected” president of Chileousted by a CIA coupe supposedly to ourshame. Pure “hecho para el toro.”
Allende was never elected President ofChile. In fact he was defeated for that officethree times. He was ultimately appointed“presidente” by a bribed legislature. The CIAjust didn’t bid enough. As soon as he was ap-pointed, Allende imported a brigade of the Cu-ban Army and imposed communism on Chilethrough a murderous nightmare.
The Chilean Army finally rose up against theCubans and Allende at the behest of their ownlegislature and Supreme Court which hadcondemned Allende and his communists forviolating the constitution and a reign ofmurderous terror.
The murals also deify Caesar Chavez andthe United Farm Workers, that dysfunctionalunion that tried to create a labor shortage byrepealing the guest-worker program. Doing sodeprived thousands of law-abiding Mexicansof the right to earn a living and kicked off thetidal wave of illegal immigration.
The murals also celebrate La Raza andAtzlan. Taken together, they espouse the su-periority of “the bronze people” above all oth-ers in violation of every American principlewhile calling for a return of the western statesto Mexico; who stole them from the Spaniards;who stole them from various native tribes.
One million, six hundred thousand dollars topaint anti-American, communist, racist propa-ganda on San Diego bridges for La Izquierda.
Bob Filner, who wants to be our mayor, andPresident Obama say that we need to raisetaxes on those awful rich people balance theFederal budget.
I say they both need their cabeza’s exam-ined.
Stirling, a former U.S. Army officer, has beenelected to the San Diego City Council, stateAssembly and state Senate. He also servedas a municipal and superior court judge inSan Diego.
Funding La IzquierdaBy Larry Stirling By Gail Perez
In the current climate of vicious politicalrhetoric, where women who testify in congressare “sluts,” and presidential candidates encour-age us to bring back child labor, I suppose LarryStirling’s red-baiting tirade against the resto-ration of the Chicano Park murals should comeas no surprise. On a positive note, he challengesus to define the project and to counter the manystereotypes and historical mistakes perpetuatedin his piece.
Perhaps most seriously, Stirling misrepresentswhat Chicano Park is and claims to be “mysti-fied” by why Chicanos even have a park.Chicano Park is a monument to the power ofordinary people to force the city to fulfill a bro-ken promise. In 1970, the community, alreadydevastated by rezoning laws that permitted in-dustry in a residential area, wanted a park wherethe city decided to build a California HighwayPatrol Substation. Due to this successful com-munity struggle, part of the rationale for thedesignation of Chicano Park on two historicregistries is its significance in the Chicano CivilRights Movement.
I am glad that Mr. Stirling enjoys Mexicanfood and our “cheerful optimism,” but much ofthe history recorded in the park refers not toMexico but to the struggles of Mexican Ameri-cans in the US against labor exploitation, raciststereotypes, gentrification, 6000 deaths at theborder, and the struggle for education. Since,however, Stirling wishes to see the park as“communist propaganda,” he misses howformer politicians like himself are implicated insome of the injustices represented in thesemurals. His focus is on the usual targets—Che,Cesar Chavez, and Salvador Allende (although
he never mentions Augosto Pinochet who over-threw Allende, causing 1200-3000 deaths,80,000 detentions and the torture of 30,000Chileans).
In addition, he charges that taxpayers arefooting the bill for this restoration in light of thecurrent California budget deficit. In reality, thegrant proposal for this historic restoration wassubmitted in 1999 with the enthusiastic supportof two Caltrans employees, San Diego Parksand Recreation, and the all volunteer ChicanoPark Steering Committee. The $1.6 million torestore internationally recognized murals wasgranted in 2002, long before the alleged crisis.Due to red tape, the actual painting did not be-gin until June 20, 2011. Nor is this the first mu-ral restoration Caltrans has been involved with;from 2002-2005, Caltrans teamed up with art-ists to restore murals along Los Angeles free-ways. Chicano Park is one of the premier col-lections of outdoor murals in the world and is amajor tourist site as well.
So what is really eating Mr. Stirling? I think itis that, unlike the Cinco de Mayo in Old Townthat he so loves, the park represents a commu-nity victory and art that speaks truth to power.Contrary to his claims, there are many otherethnic sites in San Diego—Little Italy for one.But only Chicano Park depicts images that chal-lenge the very stereotypes that comfort Mr.Stirling and affirm his belief that only commu-nism has oppressed us. I would invite him tocome down and take a refresher course inChicano History, now in living color and withan Acryloid sealer that assures that both themurals and our struggle will not be forgotten.

This is a very offensive attack to the Mexi-can-American community history and cultureas well as to Mexico as a nation.
History shows us that every time there is aneconomic crisis someone is blamed for it andin many instances minorities, migrants and othernations are the target.
There is also a tendency by politicians to con-sider that historic preservation is a waste ofmoney especially when it comes to landmarksrepresenting the history or culture of the peopleblamed for the crisis, as is the case here.
Historic preservation is not a luxury! It is partof urban planning together with land use plan-ning, environmental planning, transportationplanning, etc. All areas of the city have a legalright to have investment in the restoration oftheir monuments, including Barrio Logan.
Through historic preservation we can im-prove the quality of life of a city, its economy,safety as well as the mental health of its people,as many cases have proven. One of them isthe Gaslamp district, where a decayed areawas transformed as a result of historic preser-vation planning.
As a resident of Barrio Logan, I can see howthe restoration process of the murals is alreadyattracting local, national and even internationalattention, which is something positive for neigh-bors and visitors. Almost every month there isa positive article, news story, or radio interviewregarding the restoration taking place in ChicanoPark. Every week there are groups and fami-lies visiting the murals. Living right in front ofthe park allows me to be a daily witness to
how the neighborhood is transforming in a posi-tive way. It’s not only the transformation of themurals themselves, but also the artists that arerestoring them, that bring a sense of place andcommunity back to our neighborhood.
Chicano Park is in the National Register ofHistoric Places and is a San Diego Historicallandmark recognized for its historic and artisticvalue representative of the civil rights move-ment in California. The murals show peopleand historic events recognized by academicsand society in general as historic, they are partof what we can call an outdoor public museum.
Chicano Park is an internationally recognizedmonument that we should all be proud of. In-vesting in the preservation of the murals is theright thing to do because we are protecting animportant resource that not only brings beautyto the city, but that also helps us understand thehistory of San Diego.
Other neighborhoods in the city have differ-ent approaches to historic preservation. In Mis-sion Hills for instance, there is a historic dis-trict represented by Craftsman homes that areprotected for their historical value through taxincentives.
Barrio Logan has a unique history that de-serves to be remembered. It involves the legacyof the destruction of a neighborhood and thedisplacement of a people, followed by agrassroots response for the protection of a park.The creation of the murals is part of that his-tory, which is an important lesson not only forMexican Americans, but for all San Diegans.

Chicano Park: a haven for communist, anti-American rhetoricor a historical space to be celebrated?
Editor’s Note: In February, 2012, former San Diego City council person and judge, Larry Stirling wrote a commentary about Chicano Park, the US debt, and the politicalleft, that was published in the San Diego Daily Transcript. After reading this commentary I felt offended by the mischaracterization and the lack of understanding of whatChicano Park was all about.
In subsequent emails with Mr Stirling, he emphasized that “the thrust of the column which is [why] a Federal Grant by a government in massive debt spending money on antiAmerican graffiti. My column is not anti Hispanic, it is anti left.”
While Mr Stirling may not have intended the commentary to be anti-Hispanic, it is difficult to read it any other way, but anti-Hispanic, anti-Chicano. We are republishing thecommentary in whole so you the readers can draw you own conclusion.
Two community members have responded to Mr Stirling — Gail Perez and Maria Curry.
What is really eating Mr. Stirling?
Barrio Logan has a unique history thatneeds to be remembered
By Daniel MunozEditor
One of the main points of the Stirling com-mentary is the use of taxpayer money on anti-American/communist ideals portrayed by CheGueverra, Fidel Castro, and Salvador Allende.This characterization exemplifies the differencebetween seeing the issues with our Brown Eyesand how others see the same issue.
Stirling can only see the fact that these threeas communist and their portrayal as commu-nist propaganda.
Chicanos see these individuals as heroes thatrepresented the downtrodden; they fought forthe rights of the oppressed, the poor, the voiceless. Salvador Allende, for example, was re-sponsible for the passage of a wide range ofprogressive social reforms, including safetylaws protecting workers in the factories, higherpensions for widows, maternity care, and freelunch programs for schoolchildren.
The portrayal of these three leaders has littleto do with the communist philosophy, but a lotwith individuals taking a stand and fighting for
the rights of the people, of the poor, of the po-litical repressed, of those suffering under theoligarch rule of a few. For Chicanos in the 60’s,when these murals were first painted, it wasthese ideals that many in the Chicano commu-nity saw in their heroes. Chicanos were notfighting for communist ideals but were fightingfor the Democratic ideals of equal representa-tion and empowerment to achieve the Ameri-can Dream, economical opportunity, educationalopportunity, political representation.
Stirling chastises Cesar Chavez for re-pealing the guest worker program. For themulti-national agri-business the guestworker program was a god send that providedlabor for these corporations.
For farm workers like Cesar Chavez theguest worker program was nothing morethan a slave worker program that providedcheap labor with farm workers working un-der conditions that were unsafe, demean-ing, and back breaking.
Two different perspectives of the sameissue, just that we see the issue from ourBrown Eyes.

Southeast San Diegofaces challenges, but
there’s helpBy Pablo Jaime Sáinz
Being a teenager has always been tough, butit seems that in our times, youth have it tougherthan ever. Violence at schools and in the streets,gangs, self-esteem issues, all of this takes a tollin teens who are trying to find their place in a,sometimes, chaotic world.
The Joe & Vi Jacobs Center had its first youthtown hall on Friday, March 2, to help youth insoutheast San Diego, a low-income, immigrantneighborhood.
“Silence is Worse than Violence: A YouthTown Hall Meeting” opened an important con-versation in southeastern San Diego betweenyoung people, adults, community leaders, andservice providers.
The town hall meeting included a panel ofyouth ages 14 to 19 who addressed some of themost pressing issues and challenges that youthface in our community, such as gangs, violence,disrespect from adults, and education access.
The need for this community conversationwas sparked by several recent incidents insoutheastern San Diego involving young peoplefrom various cultural, ethnic, and neighborhoodgroups.
The teenagers of this community want to feelsafe. They want to know their role in buildingthe future, and to understand and create oppor-tunities for positive change,” said ShereheHollins, program manager for Civic & CulturalEngagement at the Jacobs Center for Neigh-borhood Innovation. “So, a group of young lead-ers decided to come together across culturalgroups to voice their concerns about the grow-ing atmosphere of hostility, and to address theseissues in a way that is not problem-based, butsolutions-based.”
The main purpose of the event is to give youtha hand, to tell them where they can find helpand resources when they have a problem orconcern.
“This event is important for youth because itprovides a safe space where youth can addresstheir concerns, while identifying solutions,”Hollins said. “It also is designed to connectyouth to the resources, services and networksthat can help them advocate for themselves,their peers, and the needs of their community.”
The guest speaker was Kevin Powell, KevinPowell, a nationally recognized activist, writer,speaker, and entrepreneur who understands theissues of growing up in an under-invested com-munity from his own childhood.
“As a kid, I grew up surrounded by violence,so I know how many of you are feeling rightnow,” Powell said. “But I was able to over-come that, and I know you can look past theviolence, too. I’m proud of where I came from.For me, hip-hop was like a safe space, music.You also need to find a place where you feelsafe, be it home, school, library, church. We alsoneed to challenge ourselves to be leaders.”
Powell has focused his work on the impor-tance of fostering youth voice, leadership andorganizing, as well as providing solutions forstrengthening communities by meaningfully en-gaging the next generation.
The young panelists included KeiringtonPankey, Carrington Novo, Travis Tibiatowski,Hodan Hersi, Bridgette Castillo, and NicoleDiwag, all of them leaders in their community.
Hollins said, “Students in our community havefive key areas of concern: education, employ-ment, safety, health, and recreation. Our hopeis that this town hall launches a network thatconnects teens to resources and creates un-derstanding between groups to prevent futureviolence.”
The town hall meeting was co-sponsored bythe Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innova-tion, San Diego City Council President AnthonyYoung, the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA, theBoys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego, theElementary Institute of Science, and CHOICESInc.

La violencia en lasescuelas y en las calles, pandillas, problemasde autoestima, todo esto tiene un peaje en losadolescentes que están tratando de encontrarsu lugar en un mundo, a veces, caótico.
El Joe & Vi Jacobs Center tuvo su primerajunta de la ciudad para los jóvenes el viernes, 2de marzo, para ayudar a los jóvenes en el surestede San Diego, un barrio de inmigrantes y defamilias de escasos recursos.
“El silencio es peor que la violencia: Unareunión para la juventud” abrió una con-versación importante en el sureste de San Di-ego, entre jóvenes, adultos, líderes comunitariosy proveedores de servicios.
La reunión incluyó a un grupo de jóvenes en-tre las edades de 14 a 19 años que habló acercade algunas de las cuestiones más importantes ylos retos que enfrentan los jóvenes en nuestracomunidad, tales como las pandillas, la violencia,la falta de respeto de parte de los adultos y laeducación.
La necesidad de esta conversación de lacomunidad fue provocada por varios incidentesrecientes en el sureste de San Diego en el quese vieron involucrados jóvenes de diferentesgrupos culturales, étnicos, y el vecindario.
“Los adolescentes de esta comunidad sequieren sentir seguros. Ellos quieren saber supapel en la construcción del futuro, y paraentender y crear oportunidades para un cambiopositivo”, dijo Sherehe Hollins, directora delprograma para la participación cívica y culturalJacobs Center. “Por lo tanto, un grupo dejóvenes líderes decidieron reunirse paraexpresar sus preocupaciones acerca de lacreciente atmósfera de hostilidad, y paraabordar estas cuestiones de una manera que
no es basado en problemas, sino en soluciones”.El objetivo principal del evento es dar a los
jóvenes una mano, para decirles dónde puedenencontrar ayuda y recursos cuando tienen unproblema o inquietud.
“Este evento es importante para los jóvenes,ya que proporciona un espacio seguro dondelos jóvenes pueden responder a sus preocu-paciones, mientras que brinda soluciones”, dijoHollins. “También está diseñado para conectara los jóvenes a los recursos, servicios y redesque les ayuden a abogar por sí mismos, sus pa-dres, y las necesidades de su comunidad”.
El orador invitado fue Kevin Powell, activistareconocido a nivel nacional, escritor, orador yempresario que entiende los problemas decrecer en una comunidad difícil basado en supropia infancia.
“Cuando era niño, crecí rodeado de laviolencia, así que sé cuántos de ustedes estánsintiendo lo mismo en este momento”, dijoPowell. “Pero yo fui capaz de superar eso, y séque ustedes pueden mirar más allá de la violencia,también. Estoy orgulloso de donde vengo. Paramí, el hip-hop era como un espacio seguro, lamúsica. También es necesario encontrar un lugardonde te sientas seguro, ya sea la casa, la
escuela, la biblioteca, la iglesia. También tenemosque desafiarnos a nosotros mismos para serlíderes”.
Powell ha centrado su trabajo en la im-portancia de fomentar la voz de la juventud,liderazgo y organización, así como el suministrode soluciones para el fortalecimiento de lascomunidades, de manera significativa in-crementar la participación de la próximageneración.
Los panelistas incluyeron a los jóvenesKeirington Pankey, Carrington Novo, TravisTibiatowski, Hodan Hersi, Bridgette Castillo, yNicole Diwag, todos ellos líderes en sucomunidad.
Hollins dijo: “Los estudiantes de nuestracomunidad tienen cinco ámbitos fundamentalesde interés: educación, empleo, seguridad, saludy recreación. Nuestra esperanza es que estareunión ponga en marcha una red que conectaa los adolescentes a los recursos y crea lacomprensión entre los grupos para evitar laviolencia en el futuro”.
