The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star spoke Saturday at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood about how he feels it’s the duty of Latino artists to bring stories about separated children at the border to light. “What’s been in happening in this country these last few days, this cruelty cannot be accepted or tolerated,” Luna said . “We have to remind ourselves that we are the ones telling our stories, so we have to be telling the stories of the invisible so they can be visible.” Contrary to Luna’s statement that the border controversy over separated families has been raging for the “last few days,” the current crisis can be traced … [Read more...] about ‘Star Wars’ Star Diego Luna: Trump’s ‘Cruelty Cannot Be Accepted or Tolerated’

Anel Aguirre was born with only one kidney, and over time her health began to deteriorate. When she was 12 years old, she received a transplant. “From the time I started dialysis to the time I received the organ, I waited one month,” Aguirre, now 38, said. There are over 100 million people waiting for transplants in the U.S., and 60% are minorities, according to One Legacy Foundation , a group created in 2011 that advocates for organ donations. Kidneys are the organ in highest demand. Although the Hispanic population is among the groups that most need transplants, they are among the most reluctant to register to become donors. Mexican Americans, who make up a large portion of the Latino population, disproportionately have obesity, which can contribute to diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health . These conditions put people at risk for organ failure. “We have many minorities on … [Read more...] about One in 5 people waiting for a transplant are Latino. There’s a call for more donors.

It's not necessary to use hyperbole anymore to describe the state of our democracy and how perilous the moment is. But it is not clear that many in the Democratic apparatus share that trepidation and the same sense of urgency. The 2022 midterm election is high-stakes, especially for communities of color. If Democrats want these electorates to turn out to vote, they cannot afford to wait any longer—the time to invest in AAPI and Latino voters was yesterday. The time for half-measures and 11th-hour investments is over—Democrats need to start playing the game as adroitly and ruthlessly as Republicans . As it stands, they need to start showing commitment to these influential electorates in their investments. With less that 100 days from midterm elections, many continue to approach outreach to voters of color with apathy, taking for granted our election-determining vote— more than 30 million eligible Latino voters and 12 million eligible AAPI voters. Thirty-nine percent of the … [Read more...] about Why aren’t all Democrats calling this play? | Opinion
