California’s future depends on a strong #LatinoMiddleClass.

Today, we are releasing our California Latino Economic Roadmap. The Roadmap outlines intentional strategies to address the levels of economic inequalities for Latinos beyond COVID-19. https://t.co/ZJyHQ7jidu #LatinoRoadmap

[Center for Inclusive Democracy @CID_Research]

@California_LEI and @CID_USC’s @MindySRomero's research also finds that Latino unemployment rates are double those from the same time last year. In addition, 2/3 of CA Latinos report experiencing a loss of employment income since March 2020. #CAEconomy https://t.co/Fboxw40Wcl

This pandemic has magnified the urgency of addressing structural causes of economic inequality. Our Research Brief provides data to inform of the disparate impact of COVID-19 on Latino health and economic well-being in CA. https://t.co/mbaehae8rO

An undercount on the #2020Census could impact our communities for decades to come! It's easier than ever to participate in the #2020Census. You can complete your Census form online or over the phone in 13 different languages!

The U.S. Census Bureau says it will stop collecting data for the 2020 census a month early. Experts and civil rights activists worry that could lead to an undercount in the census that determines how $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed. https://t.co/eaxBQmJCfG

California is not on track to produce the educated workforce needed for its economic demands. Closing racial equity gaps in college access and success is essential in getting the state on track. Learn more in “Keeping the Promise.” https://t.co/wkpVwUY4SY

[Public Policy Institute of California @PPICNotes]

New #PPICsurvey: There are notable racial disparities in health concerns due to #COVID19, with Latinos more likely to be worried about themselves or a family member getting sick. https://t.co/Cc0fECfZXW #coronavirus

Proud of my friend and colleague @asmrobertrivas for always fighting for California's farmworkers, especially during this #COVID crisis.

He's appearing on @frontlinepbs tonight to discuss how to better protect farmworkers. Tune in at 10 or watch online.

🚨 Help ensure Latino representation on California’s Redistricting Commission! 🚨

NO LATINOS SELECTED SO FAR, commission must reflect CA’s diversity.

Add your name to urge Latino presence on the remaining CCRC seats by 2 pm PT 7/21: https://t.co/pSHLc0dmx8 #LatinosDrawTheLines

[Luz Rivas @LuzRivas]

Latinos are 40% of California’s population. It’s unacceptable that no Latinos were selected for the redistricting commission.

Today the @LatinoCaucus sent a letter urging the Citizens Redistricting Commission to consider our state’s diversity when making the final 6 selections
