Olympian Allyson Felix Joins March Of Dimes Celebrity Advocate Council

May 6, 2020

Joins Fight for the Health of All Moms & Babies

ARLINGTON, Virginia, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit fighting for the health of all moms and babies, announced today that nine-time Olympic medalist Allyson Felix has joined the organization’s Celebrity Advocate Council to shine a spotlight on the nation’s maternal and infant health crisis. Felix will be kicking off her advocacy through It Starts With Mom Live, a May 7^th virtual conference on Facebook Live where she will be speaking about pregnancy and motherhood. March of Dimes recently launched the It Starts With Mom campaign, which provides moms, moms-to-be, and women trying to conceive with tools and resources to navigate pregnancy and childbirth.

Felix is the most decorated track and field Olympian in history with 25 global medals at the Olympics and World Championships, but her path to motherhood wasn’t easy. She gave birth to her daughter, Camryn, premature at 32 weeks via emergency C-section due to preeclampsia and nearly lost her life. After her daughter was born, Felix was in negotiations with Nike to renew her sponsorship contract when the brand offered her 70 percent less than before. Her powerful op-ed in the New York Times about her experience not only caused Nike to change their maternity policy, but helped shine a spotlight on the issues working mothers face across the country. She even testified before Congress in 2019 on the black maternal health crisis and her experiences.

“Every day in America, women face additional roadblocks and setbacks that we shouldn’t have to just because we become moms. And the challenges often begin before that during pregnancy when complications and premature birth are still rampant,” said Allyson Felix, Olympian and member of March of Dimes’ Celebrity Advocate Council. “I’m honored to advocate for March of Dimes as we fight for the health of all moms and babies.”

“We are thrilled that Allyson has joined the March of Dimes team as a national advocate. Her story is a source of inspiration, but it should also be a catalyst. The health issues moms and babies face require our attention and should spark a common drive to ensure the programs, education and resources exist to provide the best possible outcomes for healthy moms and strong babies. This is even more true during the COVID-19 pandemic when the strain on our medical system is further compounding the maternal and infant health crisis,” said Stacey D. Stewart, President and CEO of March of Dimes.

March of Dimes’ It Starts With Mom campaign is raising awareness of the maternal crisis and associated health risks, as well as providing a comprehensive collection of health information and resources to moms and moms-to-be. ItStartsWithMom.org will serve as a central hub and provide easy-to-access health and wellness information and resources. Felix will be joining It Starts With Mom Live during the “Inspire” session from 8:00 – 9:00 p.m. ET/5:00-6:00 p.m. PT on May 7^th.

The March of Dimes Celebrity Advocate Council is comprised of leaders from throughout the entertainment industry who are using their platforms to advocate for research, programs, and education so that every baby can have the best possible start. By raising awareness about the issues impacting moms and babies, the advocates help drive attention to areas where it’s needed. Allyson joins Ally Brooke, Nick Lachey, Porsha Williams, and Tatyana Ali as members of the Council.

The Birthplace of Cinco de Mayo Celebrates its 50th Anniversary

May 5, 2020

PUEBLO, Colorado, May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Pueblo Colorado Cinco de Mayo Planning Committee is reporting that while COVID-19 has put on a damper on most activities, Pueblo Colorado is still the place to be on Cinco de Mayo. This year will mark the city’s 50^th anniversary of the celebration.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festivities in Bessemer Park have been put on hold,” stated Rita J. Martinez, chairwoman of the Cinco de Mayo Planning Committee. “What didn’t get cancelled is the determination of Cinco de Mayo Planning Committee members to mark the holiday in some significant ways. We looked for activities we could do and comply with social distancing directives.“

Those activities will include:

A two-hour live-stream tribute to El Cinco on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/chicanopueblo/ will go live at noon on May 5th. (MDT). The programing will include video and photos from previous Cinco celebrations, and interviews with individuals talking about their involvement with the holiday.
The Cinco de Mayo Cruise
In one of the most anticipated and visible activities to the Pueblo community, at least two dozen cars, including a few lowriders, will caravan through Pueblo on the afternoon of May 5th. They will be decorated with numerous signs like, “Cinco de Mayo Pride,” and “Viva El Cinco de Mayo.” Other signs will thank essential workers and honor families impacted by COVID-19. Some of the destinations of the Cruise are the city’s nursing homes, hospitals and other places that employ essential workers.

“There is tragedy all around us and we want to recognize that,” Martinez said. “But we also want to make it known that this our 50th Cinco and we will celebrate.”

El Cinco de Mayo has a long history in Pueblo. It began in 1970 with a parade through downtown and a festival in Mineral Palace Park. That year, Chicano activist Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales of Denver was the keynote speaker. Parade entries came from a broad spectrum of Pueblo Latino organizations including Brown Berets, La Gente, Mexican American Development Association, American G.I. Forum and the Pride City Baton Corps. In the years following, El Cinco was embraced by the Chicano Movement — a civil rights movement.

“As a Chicano that grew up in Pueblo East Side, the Cinco de Mayo celebration has been for me a place where the community warrior was honored and celebrated. For 50 years our Cinco de Mayo has been a sober event and does not take any kind of sponsorship that diminished our integrity,” said community activist Reddog.

The event was initially inspired by the history of the May 5 battle at Puebla, Mexico, where a poorly equipped Mexican army under Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza defeated Napoleon III’s elite French army. That victory proved pivotal to the U.S. Civil War as the French were allied with the Confederacy and it prevented the French from rendering military support to the South.

Another associated public event originally scheduled to take place at this time will be rescheduled to later in the year. The Cinco de Mayo Youth Leadership Conference planned for the Colorado State University-Pueblo campus is being rescheduled for September. It is expected to bring 350 high school-age youths to the campus to learn about their mixed Chicano/Indio heritage, politics and the need for Chicano studies in our high schools.

“Many past participants in the conferences we had 10 and 20 years ago are now college graduates and professional in their fields,” stated Velia Rincon, PhD. “We were taught to self-advocate, organize, and create change. Everywhere we were made to feel that we did not belong, we unapologetically carved out our own space.”

Due to increased use of English e-learning platforms by US Hispanics during the COVID-19 pandemic, Open English experiences a doubling in demand over the same period in 2019

May 4, 2020

MIAMI, May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — During the Covid pandemic, we have seen the Internet become our connection to the outside world. A variety of e-learning platforms have seen an increase in demand, while adding value to the lockdown experience and helping people become more productive during this time. Open English, the leader in live instruction-based English learning for Hispanics, has been one of these programs, seeing a doubling of enrollments in the US, as well as in live class usage.

In the US there are close to 60 million Hispanics^[1], almost 20% of the total population, and it is estimated that one third is not proficient in English^[2]. Thanks to over a decade of experience teaching English online in Latin America, Open English has been able to carry over its expertise to teach the US-Hispanic population becoming one of the top e-learning platforms for this market group. Open English connects students with native English-speaking teachers through on-demand live classes taught in virtual classrooms.

In response to this spike in interest and to stand in solidarity for those who choose to learn English during the pandemic lockdown, the company has decided to offer free live classes through Facebook Live and provide an additional license to new students who enroll from now until May 15. These free live classes offer a sense of community to those willing to learn English during their time at home, providing an alternative to traditional in-person learning.

“Our North American teachers teach more than 500,000 live classes a year resulting in a product that adds value even during these moments in which our daily routine has been put on hold and the adoption of online learning has increased among Hispanics in the United States interested in learning English,” explains Andrés Moreno, CEO and founder of Open Education. “We want to share Open English with as many people as possible in the United States while they are staying at home.”

There is a demand in the United States for online English courses that adapt to the student’s needs and what better way to start than with free online Open English classes. Among Hispanics, the reasons for learning or practicing English are varied; they might want to do better in school, get a better job, improve their daily interactions or even, be able to help their children with school work; especially now that parents are playing such an important role in their kids’ education while they stay at home and schools are closed.

How to take advantage of the opportunity provided by Open English

Free live classes can be viewed by visiting the Open English website openenglish.com/quedateencasa and clicking on the class of interest. Classes will be live Monday through Friday at 1 p.m. and at 5 p.m. EST time and will last 10 minutes. The class recordings will also be made available through the same link. Open English will be offering the free live classes for as long as we continue to stay home to help people practice and be productive.

For those who have more time at hand and want to learn English intensively, Open English is providing an additional license to each person who enrolls from now until May 15, 2020.

About Open English

Open English is the leading online English school in Latin America and the Hispanic market in the United States. The company was founded in 2008 with the objective of reinventing the way people learn English, focused on meeting the needs of today’s professionals. The online learning platform offers personalized live classes with North American native English-speaking teachers.

Survey finds overwhelming support by Americans of both parties to fund the U.S. Postal Service during pandemic

May 4, 2020

national_association_of_letter_carriers_logo

WASHINGTON, May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A new survey commissioned by the National Association of Letter Carriers found that, by an overwhelming margin, Americans support federal government funding that would allow the United States Postal Service to survive the devastating financial impact of the pandemic.

That is the bottom-line result of a bipartisan survey done among registered voters by two public opinion firms, one that does polling for Republican clients (North Star Opinion Research) and the other that conducts surveys for Democratic groups (Hart Research Associates).

The poll measured voter perceptions of the importance of the Postal Service and of how to deal with the plummeting revenue caused by the pandemic-related economic shutdown.

Among those surveyed, 92 percent want Congress to appropriate funds in the next round of financial relief legislation to allow the USPS to maintain operations through the coronavirus crisis. That includes 90 percent of Republicans, 83 percent of Independents, 96 percent of Democrats, 90 percent of rural voters, 92 percent of non-college whites, and 94 percent of retirees.

One striking feature of the polling is the lack of any sharp divergence among Republicans, Democrats and Independents; among rural or urban voters; or among regions of the country. Support both for the Postal Service and for temporary funding to help it weather the pandemic-related drop in funding is extremely strong among all partisan, demographic and regional categories.

The postmaster general has stated that without emergency relief funding, the Postal Service could run out of money by the fall. The economic situation has led to government relief programs for various sectors, including airlines, small businesses and hotels, but not to similar assistance for the Postal Service, which also relies on earned revenue for its operations. The USPS does not receive taxpayer funding.

By 78 percent to 22 percent, voters prefer financial aid over requiring the USPS to significantly increase rates. That includes margins of 74 to 26 percent among Republicans and 81 to 19 among rural voters.

Among factors voters cited were the Postal Service’s delivery of prescription medicines, bill payments and online purchases, along with its role now in helping the country fight the pandemic, including delivering test kits and other supplies.

The poll showed that voters across the board—of all demographics and party affiliations; all regions of the country; and rural, urban, and suburban areas—overwhelmingly favor the appropriation of funds vs. loans to get the Postal Service through the economic shutdown.

That was the case even when respondents were presented a counterargument stating that the USPS’ financial problems predate the pandemic and repeating the mistaken idea that they are “caused by charging package delivery rates that are too low.” Even in that case, two-thirds of those polled support providing “direct funding to the Postal Service during the crisis.”

The results reflect a broad consensus that the mail and package service provided by the USPS is important, a sense shared by 94 percent of those polled. Nearly two-thirds (64 percent) rate it very important. The Midwest leads with 95 percent of residents agreeing. As far as political affiliation, 95 percent of Democrats regard the Postal Service as important, 92 percent of Republicans, and 91 percent of Independents. Rural and suburban voters share that sentiment to the tune of 94 percent, slightly higher than urban voters.

The national online survey of 804 registered voters, conducted from April 10 to April 12, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
