Joana tenía solo un año y medio de edad y seguía lactando, cuando los agentes de ICE la separaron de su madre al cruzar la frontera. La madre de Joana estaba migrando en busca de seguridad. La criatura finalmente se reunió con su madre, después de tres largos y difíciles meses de separación . ¡Es algo Indignante! Trump acaba de proponer que el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional implemente una regulaci ó n que separará intencionalmente a niños y madres que buscan asilo en nuestra frontera . Vamos a dejar algo muy claro: Muchas de las madres e hijos que buscan seguridad al cruzar nuestra...

Joana, at only one and a half years old, was still nursing when ICE agents separated her from her mother after they crossed the border seeking safety. The toddler was finally reunited with her mother after three devastatingly long months of separation. Outrageous! Trump has just proposed that the Department of Homeland Security enact a policy of purposefully separating children and mothers who are seeking asylum at our southern border . Let’s get one thing straight here: Many of the mothers and children seeking safety at our southern border are fleeing what has become known as the Northern...

Lucianna Borrego is a grocery deli cashier in California who was thrilled to be expecting a baby boy. Several months into her pregnancy, she told her bosses that she needed to avoid lifting more than 10 pounds - a routine accommodation made to workers who had suffered an injury. But while she had hoped for the best, her bosses ignored the law and forced Lucianna out on unpaid leave. Stories like Lucianna's are not uncommon and they contribute to the gender wage gap. When pregnant workers are forced on to unpaid leave or are fired rather than accommodated, it costs women much-needed income at...

Pon algo suave en tu escritorio inmediatamente porque lo que voy a decirte te va a enfurecer tanto que vas a tener uno de esos momentos “cabeza en el escritorio” (sabes a lo que me refiero, es cuando la frustración hace que tu cabeza termine sobre tu escritorio) y no quiero que te lastimes. ¿Estás lista? De acuerdo con el último censo de EE.UU., las latinas que trabajan tiempo completo todo el año, solo ganan .55 por cada dólar que ganan los hombres anglosajones o no hispanos. [ 1 ] Es decir, las Latinas tienen que trabajar durante todo el 2014 y hasta el 30 de octubre (!!!) del 2015 para...

Put something soft on your desk right now, because what I’m about to tell you will have you so mad you’re going to have a "head-desk" moment (you know, a moment when you drop your head to your desk in frustration?) and I don’t want you to get hurt. Ready? According to the latest U.S. Census, Latinas who work full-time, year-round, earn only .55 to the dollar compared to white, non-Hispanic men. [ 1 ] To put it another way, Latinas have to work for all of 2014 and all the way until October 30th (!!!) of 2015 to earn what white men earned in 2014 alone. Over time that gap really adds up. In...

El 16 de junio, Donald Trump hizo estos terribles, dañinos y erróneos comentarios: "Cuando México nos manda su gente, no nos están mandando a la mejor gente...nos están mandando gente con muchos problemas... están trayendo drogas y crimen. Son violadores..." [1] Trump no puede estar más equivocado: Las investigaciones demuestran que los inmigrantes son en realidad MENOS propensos a cometer crímenes además no hay relación entre migración y los índices de crimen. [2] Sus comentarios son incorrectos y perjudiciales. Cuando mi hijo de 12 años escuchó los comentarios de odio sobre los inmigrantes...

On June 16th, Donald Trump said the following hurtful, harmful, and completely inaccurate statement: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best…they’re sending people that have lots of problems…they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists…” [1] Trump couldn’t be more wrong: Studies show that immigrants are actually LESS likely to commit crimes and also that immigration and crime rates aren’t linked at all. [2] His hateful statement was both inaccurate AND harmful. When my 12 year-old son heard Trump's hateful comments about Mexican immigrants on TV, he...
