All-New Luxury Utility Vehicle Wins the Top Honor
 at the Texas Auto Writers Association Annual Truck Rodeo

PLANO, Texas, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The all-new, third-generation Lexus GX 550 Luxury Utility Vehicle was awarded the title SUV of Texas by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) at their 31st annual Texas Truck Rodeo event.

Lexus GX 550 Named SUV of Texas

“The GX 550 is a testament to the perfect blend of offroad capability and sophisticated luxury,” said Cynthia Tenhouse, vice president, Lexus marketing. “It’s breadth of choice across six grades offers drivers the durability and reliability they need in everyday life, while inspiring them to take their next adventure both on and off the trail.”

TAWA awarded the all-new Toyota Tacoma the other top award at the Truck Rodeo: Truck of Texas. It also voted on category and technical awards at the media drive event. The GX 550 earned Midsize SUV of Texas, while the Tacoma is Midsize Truck of Texas. Toyota’s Wireless Trailer Camera received the Best Towing Technology award, and the Best Driver Assist or Safety Feature went to Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0/Lexus Safety System+ 3.0.

The much-anticipated 2024 Lexus GX is ready for adventure with an unparalleled combination of elegant features, off-road capability and luxurious quality. It features a highly capable and efficient twin-turbocharged 3.4L V6 engine paired with a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission, with an improved EPA-estimated highway fuel economy rating of 21 MPG. The twin-turbo V6 produces 349 horsepower, outperforming the previous generation V8’s 301 horsepower, and torque output also rises to a massive 479 lb.-ft.

The GX is offered in six grades: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, and the all-new Overtrail and Overtrail+. Known for its off–road prowess since the beginning, the 2024 GX continues that legacy. Full-Time 4WD is standard for consistent responsiveness in varied terrain. Designed to inspire customers around the world to explore nature through refined adventures, the new Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades come with standard 33-inch All-Terrain tires/18-inch wheels.

TAWA’s annual Texas Truck Rodeo brings together journalists to evaluate automakers’ latest trucks and SUVs on an off-road course and a street drive. The fall event was held at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, Texas. Vehicles from the world’s top manufacturers were evaluated on interior, exterior, value, performance, and personal appeal.

Nielsen exclusive report: inclusive, digital content drives Black audiences from reach to conversion

NEw_Nielsen_Logo

NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Black audiences spend 32 hours on apps and websites on their smartphones and tablets—two hours more than the total U.S. population, according to the latest exclusive Nielsen’s Diverse Intelligence Series report Connecting with Black America: How brands impact, grow and win with inclusion. As Black consumers continue to be digital trendsetters, brands’ must finetune their approach to engaging with this audience in order to drive long-term connections.

“Reaching Black consumers may not be a challenge—but connecting with us can be. Black consumers are leaning into platforms that emphasize conversation and create a sense of connection,” says Charlene Polite Corley, Vice President of Diverse Insights & Partnerships. “To win with this community who wields $2 trillion in buying power, brands must prioritize engagement strategies that center diverse Black experiences and cultural nuances.” With the growing diversity of audiences and media platforms, Nielsen’s approach—big data verified and enhanced by robust panels—helps marketers understand what and where diverse audiences are consuming content.

Social media apps have become a haven for Black consumers – Black adults overall spend more time scrolling than their peers. Black millennials (between 18 and 34-years-old) spend the most time on social media among all adults by almost an hour per week. Black adults also have high engagement with radio and podcasts. Radio averages the same as TV in weekly reach with Black adults – each medium reaches 27 million Black adults on average.

Black audiences continue to be power TV viewers, spending 46 hours and 13 minutes per week watching TV, compared to almost 35 hours for the total U.S. population. 46% of that time is spent on streaming, which is gaining share year-over-year with Black adults. YouTube is the top platform—where Black audiences spend 13% of their total TV time, compared to 10% for all U.S. viewers. In fact, YouTube reaches 63% of Black adults and 44% report that they have purchased products based on YouTube content. The preference for YouTube as a source outpaces word of mouth, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Other digital platforms also offer the conversations and commentary that influence Black consumers’ purchasing decisions. 63% say they’re more likely to evaluate a new brand based on a social media ad or content, compared with 58% overall. In addition, podcasts drive powerful connections: 73% of Black listeners were able to recall a brand name after ad exposure compared to 70% overall.

Black sports fans offer brands a new opportunity to turn fan loyalty into brand loyalty. For women’s basketball, with Black talent like Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson attracting interest, viewership hit record highs. Between 2023 and 2024, Black viewership increased 161% for the WNBA All-Star Game, 227% for the WNBA Draft and 51% for the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. This engagement is likely to drive sales: Black fans are 7% more likely than all sports fans to buy a brand after seeing its sponsorship activations.

This initiative is designed to enhance care coordination and provide crucial support to people living with dementia and their caregivers.

Essen Health Care Logo

Under the GUIDE Model, Essen Health Care joins nearly 400 participants nationwide in developing Dementia Care Programs (DCPs) aimed at improving access to essential services and support, including respite care. This model empowers caregivers and strengthens the ability of those with dementia to remain in their homes and communities.

“CMS is excited to partner with Essen Health Care under the GUIDE Model,” said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. “GUIDE represents a transformative approach to how Medicare supports people living with dementia. The program not only envisions new care pathways for these individuals but also reduces the strain on caregivers, enabling more Americans to receive the care they need in familiar surroundings rather than institutional settings.

Essen Health Care, has emphasized its dedication to enhancing care for vulnerable populations through innovative approaches, “we have always been committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care to those who need it most. Our participation in the GUIDE Model is a natural extension of that commitment, as we strive to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their caregivers. By focusing on coordinated care and offering critical support services, we can help families navigate the challenges of dementia, allowing their loved ones to remain in the comfort of their homes and communities. We are honored to partner with CMS in this important endeavor and look forward to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve,” said Dr. Sumir Sahgal, Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Essen Health Care.

Launched on July 1, 2024, the GUIDE Model introduces a new payment system for key supportive services for dementia patients, including comprehensive, person-centered assessments, care plans, and care coordination. Participants will also have 24/7 access to an interdisciplinary care team member or helpline and receive certain respite services to support caregivers. One of the model’s highlights is the role of Care Navigators, who will assist dementia patients and their caregivers in accessing both clinical and non-clinical services, such as meal delivery and transportation, through community-based organizations.

“Essen Health Care’s participation in the GUIDE Model will provide invaluable resources to those living with dementia and their caregivers,” said Imelda Tavas, Chief Administrative Officer. “Through this model, we can offer education, support, and respite services that make a significant difference in the daily lives of caregivers and their loved ones.”

GUIDE Participants represent a diverse range of healthcare providers, including large academic medical centers, small group practices, community-based organizations, health systems, and hospice agencies. This initiative aligns with the Biden Administration’s Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers and the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease.

Ryan Kalil and Blake Griffin Form Athlete Ownership Group, Acquire Majority Stake in American Football Team in Mexico, Rebrand as Osos Monterrey

0
Osos Monterrey Football team

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Former NFL All-Pro Ryan Kalil and NBA All-Star Blake Griffin have acquired a controlling stake in an American football team based in Monterrey, Mexico, which competes in the LFA (Liga de Fútbol Americano). The duo, alongside an ownership group of current and former professional athletes, aims to elevate the team and league globally. Under their leadership, the team will forge new partnerships, engage deeply with the community, and focus on advancing player development. Partners in production company Mortal Media, Kalil and Griffin will produce a documentary capturing the team’s transformation and their unique journey as new owners.

Osos Monterrey Football team

Among the notable names in the ownership group are NFL All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey, NFL All-Pro tight end George Kittle, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, former Pro Bowl tight end and media personality Greg Olsen, five-time All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly, NFL Hall of Fame defensive end Julius Peppers, Pro Bowl running back Jonathan Stewart, and two-time NFL Coach of the Year Ron Rivera. Additionally, Dan “Big Cat” Katz and Eric Sollenberger, better known as PFT Commenter from sports podcast Pardon My Take, have joined the venture. Additional high-profile investors from sports and entertainment are expected to be announced in the near future.

“Football isn’t just a game—for many of us, it’s defined who we are,” said Kalil. “This won’t be a passive investment; it’s an opportunity to help grow the game internationally alongside lifelong friends who bring unmatched experience and perspective from playing at the highest level of professional sports.”

The investment reflects Kalil and Griffin’s confidence in Mexico’s passionate American football fanbase, which includes 30 million NFL enthusiasts, making Mexico one of the NFL’s most significant international markets. As the LFA continues to grow as Mexico’s premier American football league, the acquisition of the Monterrey team presents a unique opportunity to accelerate its expansion. Kalil and Griffin acquired the team from former owners Fabián Marcos and José Luis Domene, who will remain minority partners and continue contributing to the franchise’s management.

Said Alejandro Jaimes Trujillo, LFA Commissioner: “Today marks the start of a new era for American Football in Mexico. On behalf of everyone in the league, I am pleased to welcome Ryan Kalil, Blake Griffin, and their business group to the Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional de México. Their arrival comes at a pivotal moment of growth for our league, and we are confident that their involvement will not only strengthen their team but also propel the entire professional football league in Mexico forward.”

The first major initiative under the new ownership is a complete rebrand, with the team, formerly Fundidores (Smelters), adopting the new name “Osos” (Bears.) “Osos was inspired by the black bears native to Monterrey and the Sierra Madre mountains,” Griffin explained. “The name is simple, memorable, and rooted in the city’s identity.  It stands for resilience, strength, and grit—qualities that define Monterrey and what we want this team to stand for. This marks an exciting new era for the team, the league, and its fans.”

Through their production company, Mortal Media, Kalil and Griffin are teaming up with award-winning filmmakers Jason Sterman and Brian McGinn of Supper Club—known for acclaimed projects such as Chef’s Table, 13TH, Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u, and FX’s Emmy-winning The Bear—to produce a documentary chronicling their journey. The project will follow their experiences as new team owners, exploring the challenges of managing a football club abroad while celebrating the unwavering passion of the fans, the resilience of the coaches, and the determination of the players competing in a league striving for growth and recognition despite modest resources.

CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka Opens Applications for Inaugural Blue Dot Creative Residency in Park City During Festival Week

CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka

CÎROC has opened applications for ambitious creatives to join Erika Alexander and Woody McClain as part of the inaugural class of the Blue Dot Creative Residency, and bring their passion project into production

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/– CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka is proud to announce that applications to the Blue Dot Creative Residency (BDCR) have been opened to the public. Following the program launch in December, the brand selected two storytellers looking to bring to life new and groundbreaking projects as the first members of the BDCR – Actor Woody McClain and actress and writer Erika Alexander! These established creators will soon be joined by carefully selected applicants to complete the BDCR’s inaugural class.

CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka

An innovative initiative that champions creativity, mentorship, storytelling and celebration, the BDCR provides an exciting opportunity for storytellers to bring their passion projects to life, delivering an environment of creative ease through direct funding, resources and support that all creatives need to break barriers and shape the culture of tomorrow.

During this iconic festival in Park City, Utah, where creatives come to shop their films and share projects near completion, CÎROC provided a first look at the BDCR, welcoming Woody McClain to a weekend of networking, après-ski cocktails, and film screenings. Woody also participated in the BDCR’s immersive activations spotlighting the creative journey, seamlessly blending work, play and creative inspiration to help take his new project to the finish line. The experience included:

  • Addressing the Creator’s Dilemma Panel: Hosted during the renowned MACRO Lodge, organized by multimedia platform company Stay MACRO, CÎROC kicked off the weekend with the “Addressing the Creator’s Dilemma” panel, moderated by Imani Ellis, founder & CEO of the Creative Collective and Culture Con. The panel featured actors Michael Ealy and Jharrel Jerome, actor and producer David Oyelowo and the first BDCR member, actor and multihyphenate Edward Woody McClain in a thought-provoking discussion around their creative journeys and the challenges of balancing personal passions with financial success.
  • Creative (Ease)scape: Following the panel discussion, Woody McClain participated in the first BDCR working session, designed to foster the creative ease that the program aims to create for its members. The session enabled Woody to connect with his creative collaborator to refine his ideas and workshop how best to bring the concept to life. The day concluded with an adventurous escape to the slopes of Park City, offering a chance to recharge and embrace some fun while fueling creative energy.

“While creative inspiration can indeed come from anywhere, often times, it’s the follow through or execution that separates those who make it to the finish line from those who don’t,” said Michael Ealy “Even as a seasoned professional – whether it’s a movie, a TV show or my own project– it can be overwhelming at the start. It’s easy to get scared away from big projects because you don’t have the time or support you need, so the connection and community that CÎROC’s Blue Dot Creative Residency is providing is going to do a lot to help its members push through what can be the hardest parts of being a creative.”

As part of the celebration, CÎROC took over the bars at the MACRO Lodge, offering attendees a space to celebrate creativity and innovation over specialty cocktails hosted by the cast of Love, Brooklyn for an evening of conversation and comedy.

U.S. residents aged 25 and older interested in joining Erika Alexander and Woody McClain can apply at www.ciroc.com by February 24, 2025, for a spot in the inaugural class and a chance to receive funding, resources and support to bring their own passion project to life.

“Creatives need more than just financial support, they require community and creative ease to think bigger, celebrate brighter and produce their best work,” said Victoria David, Brand Director, CÎROC. “We are excited to have had the opportunity to unveil Woody as the first member of the program’s inaugural class in Park City, where fresh new stories and inspiration can come to life on a global stage and cannot wait to see what we create with Erika.”

The BDCR will continue its commitment to empowering creators by participating in other major cultural events, where the complete inaugural class will have further opportunities to expand on their creative endeavors and ultimately premier projects that will help shape the culture of tomorrow.

CÎROC encourages people of legal drinking age to celebrate responsibly. Stay up to date with the latest news, cocktails and exciting social content by following the conversation at @CIROC.

Rising Stars, Lasting Legacies: Toyota Illuminates Future Stars at 2025 Pro Bowl Games and Super Bowl LIX, Empowering Communities Nationwide Through the Generational Impact of Football

Super Bowl LIX programming showcases Toyota Trucks Family, including the All-New 4Runner, Live Content and Fan Experiences

PLANO, Texas, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) today announced a series of experiences as part of its activations at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando and Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Rising Stars, Lasting Legacies: Toyota Illuminates Future Stars at 2025 Pro Bowl Games and Super Bowl LIX, Empowering Communities Nationwide Through the Generational Impact of Football

From the talent and entertainment on display in Orlando, to the bright lights of the NFL Honors stage and uplifting New Orleans’ most overlooked neighborhoods, the “Official Automotive Partner of the NFL” will celebrate all levels of stardom including spotlighting youth destined for future greatness in their community.

“Our partnership with the NFL demonstrates our focus on supporting the next generation of football players, from youth leagues, high schools, HBCUs, to current NFL players,” said Michael Tripp, group vice president, Toyota division marketing. “Our collaboration with the NFL builds on Toyota’s 68-year grassroots legacy in football, aiming to make a positive impact on communities through our involvement with NFL FLAG.”

Here are the moments that Toyota will engineer to engage fans and strengthen community connections:

NFL FLAG HBCU Tournament Presented by Toyota

Toyota extends its long-standing support of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and celebrates their role in growing the sport by powering the first-ever HBCU flag football tournament at this year’s Pro Bowl Games in Orlando. The tournament from January 30 to February 1 will see teams take the field with over 250 athletes from HBCU flag football programs from across the country. Participants will receive NFL star treatment given to the world’s best football players who will be in-market for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.

“Our support of NFL FLAG offers opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy football’s countless emotional and physical benefits. We saw this as a way to connect our long-standing support for HBCUs with our wider commitment to all flag players nationwide,” said Tripp.

Toyota’s “Glow Up Classic” Benefiting New Orleans’ 18th Ward 

Toyota will host three epic, first-of-their-kind flag football exhibition games on February 4 in which New Orleans youth players will play in darkness using black light that illuminates UV-reactive jerseys and equipment to emulate a “glow-in-the-dark” feel.

The “Toyota Glow Up Classic” spotlights a problem: less than 20% of kids in Orleans Parish are active in sports due to financial constraints (sources: The 18th Ward.org, The Aspen Institute). Following the event, Toyota will leave a lasting impact in the community by unveiling the installation of permanent lights at New Orleans’ 18th Ward Field, transforming it into a lasting beacon for community sports long after Super Bowl LIX. Supporting the effort are surprise appearances by NFL stars.

“NFL FLAG empowers athletes of all ages and abilities to experience football’s lasting benefits. But building the next generation of stars requires community support. This game spotlights the incredible players who can thrive when given the chance,” said Dedra DeLilli, vice president, marketing communications, Toyota Motor North America.

Toyota “Ride Shotgun” at Super Bowl Experience

Toyota will enable fans of all ages to have NFL’s superstars “ride shotgun” with them at Super Bowl Experience (February 5-8), placing fans and their families in thrilling and humorous augmented reality (AR) scenes that simulate driving alongside NFL players.

The AR capabilities will be featured inside Toyota’s 2025 Sequoia and Land Cruiser, providing fans the chance to co-star in fun, gameday-inspired vignettes alongside their favorite Team Toyota athletes. Fans will have their choice of “riding shotgun” with Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers), Christian Gonzalez (New England Patriots), Kyle Hamilton (Baltimore Ravens), Michael Pittman Jr. (Indianapolis Colts) or longtime Toyota spokesperson Eli Manning.

“We designed this experience to allow fans to imagine themselves arriving at the peak of stardom, using technology to place them riding shotgun with our Team Toyota NFL stars on a simulated drive,” said DeLilli.

Debt Settlement Gains Awareness and Approval

Debt.com is the consumer website where people can find help with credit card debt, student loan debt, tax debt, credit repair, bankruptcy, and more. Debt.com works with vetted and certified providers that give the best advice and solutions for consumers ‘when life happens.’ (PRNewsfoto/Debt.com)

Debt.com’s research shows debt settlement is becoming a popular solution in today’s economy.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Debt settlement is now gaining traction as a favored option for debt relief, according to a Debt.com survey.

Debt.com’s researchers set out to uncover the viability, sentiment, and helpfulness of debt settlement. They found that this once-troubled industry has undergone a remarkable transformation and consumer acceptance.

The survey of 1,144 Americans found that 89% of respondents are aware of debt settlement, with 58% considering it an effective solution—outpacing the 49% who believe bankruptcy is helpful.

“Thanks to new regulations and industry standards, reputable companies have transformed debt settlement into a sought-after solution,” says Howard Dvorkin, CPA and Chairman of Debt.com.  “It’s now both powerful and reputable.”

The survey findings reveal a shift in attitudes toward debt settlement. Thirty percent of respondents used debt settlement to resolve debts, compared to 44% who filed bankruptcy leaving 20% who opted for a debt management program. This research highlights that many consumers prefer debt settlement because it allows them to negotiate with creditors to pay back a portion of what they owe, often without an attorney or legal filing.

“These critical findings emphasize that debt resolution is becoming a go-to option for consumers overwhelmed by debt,” says Denise Dunckel Morse, CEO of the American Association for Debt Resolution. “As many continue to struggle under the weight of inflation and other pervasive economic factors, our industry has continued to prioritize their well-being, with strong, transparent standards for providers.”

Key findings:

  • 49% of all respondents know debt settlement can cut their debt by 30-50% including 52% of Millennials and 50% of Gen Z
  • 79% think Bankruptcy will do more damage to their credit than debt settlement
  • 44% know credit scores don’t impact the ability to pursue debt settlement

“Consumers are looking for relief that doesn’t involve the complexity and long-term impact of bankruptcy,” said Don Silvestri, President of Debt.com. “In regions like the Mid-Atlantic, where high home prices stretch budgets, debt settlement is becoming a go-to option.”

Silvestri noted that the Mid-Atlantic states, which have some of the highest living costs in the nation, account for the majority of debt settlement inquiries. “When expenses are high, more people turn to options like debt settlement to keep their financial situation manageable,” he said.

Silvestri added that Debt.com has seen a surge in consumer interest in debt settlement over the past decade. “When we started 11 years ago, we had to explain what debt settlement was and why it might be a good fit,” he said. “Now, people are coming to us already informed and asking for help.”

Morse of the American Association for Debt Resolution says, “Consumers nationwide should have access to the tools that are right for their unique financial position which are proven to be effective solutions.”

The expectation is that the popularity of debt settlement will keep growing as more Americans look for alternatives to handle rising personal debt. Debt.com’s Debt Settlement White Paper, released this month, further explores the trends and evolving attitudes toward debt settlement as a practical solution in the current economic environment.

About Debt.com
Debt.com is a leading provider of financial education and debt relief solutions, helping Americans find the path to financial stability. Through expert guidance, educational resources, and personalized counseling, Debt.com empowers people to tackle debt challenges and build a brighter future.

Indiana Primary Health Care Association

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A new analysis of 2023 data conducted by the Indiana Primary Health Care Association (IPHCA) and Capital Link, highlights the transformative impact Community Health Centers have on Indiana’s health and economic well-being.   

Indiana Primary Health Care Association

Key Highlights from the Report: 
Indiana’s Community Health Centers play an essential role in providing access to high-quality, comprehensive primary care to Hoosiers. By providing comprehensive and affordable services, they not only strengthen the health of individuals, but drive economic and systemic efficiencies that benefit all Hoosiers. A new analysis of 2023 data conducted by the Indiana Primary Health Care Association (IPHCA) and Capital Link, demonstrates this impact.  

In 2023 Community Health Centers provided comprehensive primary services to 731,729 Hoosiers, 85% of whom are classified as low-income (below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level), and over 50% of whom are covered by Indiana’s Medicaid program.  

Through these services, Community Health Centers provided significant savings to Indiana’s Medicaid program.  Based on recent research, patients of Community Health Center covered by Medicaid incurred 24% lower costs compared to patients in other settings, resulting in an estimated $943.7 million in Medicaid savings in 2023. Additionally, Community Health Centers saved Indiana’s overall health system an estimated $1.4 billion, by reducing emergency room visits through preventative services and excelling in managing chronic diseases. 

“Community Health Centers are the backbone of Indiana’s healthcare system, ensuring access to care for all Hoosiers while generating tremendous cost savings for the State,” said [Ben Harvey, CEO of IPHCA]. “At a time of critical debate on how to address Indiana’s growing Medicaid costs, this report underscores the value of investment in primary health care as both a public health and economic strategy.”

HISPANIC STAR CHAMPIONS LATINO NARRATIVE AT DAVOS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF LATINOS

Hispanic Star Delegation and Latinos gathered at Davos 2025

This year’s Davos, themed ‘Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,’ aligns with a pivotal time to reshape Latino narrative.

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hispanic Star returned to Davos for the sixth consecutive year with a delegation led by Hispanic Star’s founder Claudia Romo Edelman, and driven by the mission to share the narrative of the Latino community’s integral role in driving economic growth and technological innovation with this critical global audience.

Hispanic Star Delegation and Latinos gathered at Davos 2025

This year’s forum, themed “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,” is particularly significant as it coincides with the new U.S. administration, signaling a time of significant changes. Romo Edelman, with nearly three decades of experience at Davos, emphasizes the importance of including Latino voices in these high-level discussions to address global challenges effectively. 

“As we step into a new era, Hispanic Star is championing a refreshed narrative for Latinos, emphasizing their undeniable economic prowess. With Latinos contributing $3.6 trillion to the U.S. GDP, driving 68% of the labor force growth in the United States by 2030, it’s clear that the narrative of Latinos as key economic drivers is more relevant than ever.”

The delegation’s strategic activities at Davos included leading two influential panels: “The Roadmap to Power,” co-powered by A LA LATINA, gathered global leaders and allies, with insights from Bea Perez, Executive Vice President and Chief Communications, Sustainability & Strategic Partnerships Officer at The Coca-Cola Company, Pilar Cruz, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer at Cargill, and Aldijana Šišić, Ph.D., Global Chief of Private Sector Partnerships at UN Women. 

Together, they addressed challenges, forged alliances, and strategized on breaking barriers and building powerful networks. The second panel, “How Tokenization Democratizes Financial Markets and Fuels Financial Inclusion,” hosted by Hedera, featured Betsabe Botaitis, Martin Cabrera Jr., and Sheila Warren discussed how to enhance products and democratize markets while driving financial inclusion.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this year’s discussions, with Hispanic Star advocating for AI as a crucial tool in promoting data equity and combating misinformation. By integrating Latinos more significantly in AI development and implementation, the organization aims to ensure that technology advances reflect accurate representations and contributions of Latinos, thus counteracting the perpetuation of stereotypes. As the world steps into a new era of global interaction and technological integration, Hispanic Star’s contributions at Davos serve not only as a report of progress but as a clarion call for the inclusion of Latinos in all facets of global economic and technological development.

About Hispanic Star: 
We Are All Human is a registered 501 (c)3, its biggest platform – the Hispanic Star – is an advocacy-driven platform with convening, mobilizing, and communications superpowers devoted to elevating the potential of Latinos by changing perceptions.

Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Partners with End Overdose to Address Fentanyl Crisis

Los Angeles County Seal Logo

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, through its Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC) Bureau, announced a new partnership with End Overdose, an organization dedicated to preventing drug overdoses through education, training, and community outreach, to address the fentanyl crisis in Los Angeles County. Together, Public Health and End Overdose will have a presence at several music and cultural festivals throughout LA County in 2025. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the risks of fentanyl, receive training and certification on how to administer naloxone, receive free naloxone, and access free resources to help prevent and reverse overdoses.

Los Angeles County Seal Logo

This collaboration continues the ongoing efforts by Public Health to address the fentanyl crisis in Los Angeles County. Almost 2,000 LA County residents died from an accidental fentanyl overdose or poisoning in 2023, according to the 2024 LA County Fentanyl Data Report.1 The partnership will expand the reach of Public Health’s ongoing Fentanyl Frontline campaign, an initiative that was launched last year to spread awareness about the dangers of illicit fentanyl and to promote the use of naloxone, a life-saving opioid overdose reversal medication.

“Our partnership with End Overdose enhances our ongoing efforts to put an end to the fentanyl crisis by providing critical education, training, and resources to our communities,” said Dr. Gary Tsai, the Director of SAPC. “Together, we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent and respond to fentanyl-related overdoses, ultimately saving lives and fostering a safer environment for all residents of Los Angeles County.”

End Overdose has been at the forefront of overdose prevention efforts, providing education and training on the safe use of naloxone and other harm reduction strategies. End Overdose and Public Health are working together to ensure that more individuals, particularly those in high-risk communities, have access to life-saving tools and knowledge. DEA laboratory testing currently indicates that 7 out of 10 street-bought pills contain a potentially deadly dose of illicit fentanyl, and there is no way to see, smell, or taste if a pill or powder has been laced. Illicit fentanyl is common enough that anyone, anywhere in Los Angeles County, can be affected by fentanyl-laced pills or powders.

California Law Firm, Danko Meredith Files Lawsuit Against Southern California Edison Over Eaton Fire, Representing Survivors Who Lost Their Altadena Homes

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/– Danko Meredith, a prominent California fire litigation firm, has filed a lawsuit against Southern California Edison (SCE) on behalf of survivors who lost their homes in the devastating Eaton Fire that swept through Altadena, California. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeks justice for the residents who lost everything in the fire, alleging that SCE’s negligence was a key factor in causing the blaze that destroyed over 9,300 structures and displaced families.

The Eaton Fire, which ignited on the evening of January 7, ravaged parts of Altadena, killing at least 17, leaving countless families homeless and causing significant property damage. The lawsuit claims that SCE’s failure to de-energize their lines, and failure to maintain their equipment and infrastructure, was responsible for sparking the fire, which quickly spread through the community, leading to the destruction of homes, businesses, lives, and personal belongings.

Key Allegations in the Lawsuit:

  1. Their willful, reckless, and negligent, failure to de-energize their electrical lines during a forecasted high wind event.
  2. Negligence in maintaining their electrical equipment.
  3. Negligence in maintaining vegetation near their equipment to the appropriate levels

Statement from Mike Danko, Founding Partner at Danko Meredith:
“We aim to obtain just compensation for our clients whose lives have been upended by SoCal Edison,” said Mike Danko, founding partner of Danko Meredith.  “Responsible utility companies shut off power before winds reach their equipment’s safe limits. SoCal Edison didn’t.  Instead, it decided to put its equipment to the test.  But it left it to the Altadena community to suffer the consequences. That’s not right.”

Next Steps
The lawsuit seeks damages to repair and rebuild properties, replace trees, loss of enjoyment, lost wages, exemplary damages, general damages, and attorneys’ fees, as well as an order requiring SCE to take immediate steps to improve the safety of its equipment and infrastructure to prevent future disasters. Danko Meredith’s attorneys will work closely with experts to investigate other potential contributing factors to the fire and will continue to advocate for the survivors’ rights throughout the legal process.
