February 22, 2019

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Last night the biggest rock band in Spanish, Maná, surprised fans by announcing their return to the road on Premio Lo Nuestro. Today “the most widely sold and heard Latin band in the world” (Billboard) confirmed details of their headlining ‘Rayando El Sol Tour’ across the United States. The tour is named after their critically acclaimed single, “Rayando El Sol,” which was one of the band’s first great successes and the kick off to a remarkable career including 4 Grammy Awards, 8 Latin Grammy Awards, 19 Billboard Latin Music Awards and dozens more around the world.

Produced by Live Nation, the tour will make over 20 stops across the U.S., kicking off September 4^th in Corpus Christi, TX with visits to Houston, San Diego, Brooklyn and more, before wrapping November 27^th in Sacramento, CA. The U.S. outing will also include an astonishing 4 nights at The Forum in Los Angeles, CA between September and November, making history as the largest run of dates at The Forum for any Latin act in history.

It has been three years since the multi-platinum selling and Grammy Award®-winning rock band last toured. As Latin Rock’s most engaging arena-level live band, longtime cultural ambassadors and powerful social advocates, their previous ‘LATINO POWER TOUR’ sold out venues across the U.S. with a message of unity and empowerment for U.S. Latinos. It featured 80 tons of state of the art concert production gear which traveled across the United States with the goal of uniting and inspiring Latino communities to make their voices heard.

Having formed in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1986, the quartet of Fher Olvera, Alex González, Sergio Vallín and Juan Calleros have gone on to be global envoys for the Latin Rock genre, while selling over 40 million albums. Here in the United States, Maná holds an impressive nine #1 albums and ten #1 singles -more than any other band in the history of Billboard’s “Hot Latin Songs” chart. Maná is also unquestionably the top-drawing all-Spanish language concert band in the U.S. with notable attendance records to their name, and the New York Times declaring the group has: “Redefined ‘Crossover’ in Latin Pop… with its mix of love songs and more pointed political material about immigration and the environment, …Maná has a mass appeal nearly unrivaled in the Latin pop world.”

National Action Network (NAN) Florida is calling on Florida voters to reject placing an initiative to deregulate electricity on the 2020 ballot.

February 21, 2019

TALLAHASSEE, Florida, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Florida Chapters of National Action Network (NAN) is calling on Florida voters to reject placing a misleading initiative that alters electricity services in Florida on the 2020 ballot. This initiative would raise costs, decrease reliability and take advantage of low-income and minority communities through fraud and aggressive sales tactics by marketers.

“This is really just an effort to alter our electricity markets to benefit few companies that stand to profit hidden behind the notion of choice. African American households experience disproportionate levels of poverty, have lower household income and spend a higher percentage of their income on electricity than other consumers,” stated Rev. DeVes Toon of the National Action Network.

“The only thing this so-called “energy choice” initiative will provide for minority communities is higher electric rates and higher costs. The proposal actually prohibits a majority of Floridians from being able to choose their current electricity provider. It’s chaos masked as choice. We feel that our people should not only reject this ballot initiative, but they should not sign any misleading petitions to get this initiative placed on the 2020 ballot.”

The Florida chapters of the National Action Network, including Reverend Don Tolliver Vice president of the Tallahassee Chapter, will aggressively fight any effort to deregulate Florida’s electricity market. NAN will expose those that support the effort for the harm they will cause to our communities electric deregulation has in other states.

Attorneys General in Massachusetts and Illinois have called for an end to electricity deregulation in their states. A recent report prepared for the Massachusetts Attorney General shows that residents in minority communities paid higher rates to competitive suppliers. In just two years, Massachusetts customers that chose unregulated electricity marketing companies paid $176 million more than what they would have paid for electricity from their local utility.

The Illinois Attorney General has stated that 90 percent of the time, customers who chose alternative electricity marketers are paying higher prices for electricity than customers pay with traditional utilities. In Connecticut, the state’s Consumer Counsel has said the state should provide consumers with protection from the confusing, abusive and illegal marketing tactics of electric marketers.

“For more than 20 years, other states have tried and failed at deregulating their electricity markets,” said Rev. Toon. “Those that want to deregulate the electricity in Florida are not concerned with the harm it will cause our communities, but rather are focused only on their own profits. The group Citizens for Energy Choices has reported spending more than $1.3 million but they do not disclose where that money came from and who they are truly representing.”

National Action Network chapters throughout Florida have information available for community members wanting to help inform their neighbors, church members and others about the true story of how harmful deregulating electricity has been and why Florida voters must keep this dangerous proposal off the ballot.

Nearly 17,000 Hispanics/Latinos Killed With Guns in California Since 1999, New Study Reports

February 21, 2019

0

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Nearly 17,000 Hispanics/Latinos were killed with guns in California from 1999 through 2016, according to Lethal Hispanic/Latino Firearm Victimization in California, a new 91-page study from the Violence Policy Center (VPC). [For English and Spanish language versions of the study, its key findings and recommendations, and related materials, see http://www.vpc.org/CALatino.]

Para la versión en español haga “click” aquí.

Funded by the Hope and Heal Fund, a collaborative fund to stop gun violence in California, the study details the disproportionate impact of lethal gun violence on Hispanics/Latinos in California, most notably the 10- to 24-year-old age group. It also presents in-depth interviews with California experts on ways that data collection in the state can be improved, especially in terms of better identifying race and ethnicity and integrating different data sets to improve their utility, to offer a more complete picture of the full impact of gun death and injury on residents and aid violence-prevention efforts.

The study also presents lethal gun violence information for other races/ethnicities in California – white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native – and contains numerous historic tables detailing firearm mortality among these groups.

VPC Executive Director Josh Sugarmann states, “For Latinos in California, especially young Latinos, gun violence is an ongoing crisis. For decades, California has been the nation’s leader not only in identifying effective approaches to reducing gun violence, but in gathering the data necessary to help us better understand its many impacts. To ensure that progress continues to be made, Californians working to reduce violence in their communities need the best information available, not only to better understand the issues they’re facing, but also identify the most effective violence prevention strategies.”

Among the study’s findings:

From 1999 to 2016, more than 16,600 Hispanics died from guns in California: 12,912 in firearm homicides, 3,402 in firearm suicides, and 319 in unintentional firearm deaths. Of these deaths, guns killed 15,222 Hispanic males and 1,411 Hispanic females. Forty-five percent (7,485) of the victims were 10 to 24 years old.
From 1999 to 2016, nearly three quarters of all Hispanic homicide victims were killed with a firearm (74 percent). For Hispanic homicide victims ages 10 to 24, 85 percent were killed with firearms.
In 2016, 921 Hispanics were killed by firearms in California in homicides, suicides, and unintentional deaths. More than a third (322) of the victims were 10 to 24 years old.
In 2016, the Hispanic firearm homicide victimization rate was 4.40 per 100,000, more than three times the white firearm homicide victimization rate of 1.45 per 100,000. For Hispanic victims ages 10 to 24, the firearm homicide victimization rate was 6.63 per 100,000, more than four times the white firearm homicide victimization rate for this age group of 1.56 per 100,000.
In 2016, among Hispanic female victims, for homicides in which the victim to offender relationship could be identified, 91 percent of Hispanic female victims (70 out of 77) were murdered by someone they knew. Twenty-seven of these females (39 percent) were killed with guns. Of the 70 Hispanic female victims who knew their offenders, 44 victims (63 percent) were intimate acquaintances of the offender. Of the Hispanic female intimates murdered, 21 were killed with guns (48 percent).

The study concludes, “Because of limitations in data collection, the true scale of the impact of gun violence on Hispanic men, women, boys, and girls in California is not fully known. Comprehensive, consistent, and reliable information from a broad range of sources is necessary to ensure that violence prevention policies work to save lives, protect families, and ensure healthy communities. This is true not only for Hispanics in California, but for all residents of the state.”

Lethal Hispanic/Latino Firearm Victimization in California utilizes data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as information maintained by the California Department of Justice for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Supplementary Homicide Report.

For all materials related to the study in English and Spanish, see:

Rates are calculated by dividing the total number of relevant deaths by the relevant population in California and multiplying the result by 100,000.

The definitions used in Lethal Hispanic/Latino Firearm Victimization in California are dictated by the terms utilized by government agencies in the collection of information. The Violence Policy Center recognizes the role played by language and the importance of identity language. We understand that the population included within the term Hispanic may not identify with this label. While this term is used throughout this research to remain consistent with the data as reported, our intent is not to reiterate or endorse any implications that may accompany it. Hopefully, in the near future data collection will become more sensitive and responsive to relevant terminology and identity language, such as Latino/a or Latinx.

The Violence Policy Center (www.vpc.org) is a national nonprofit educational organization that conducts research and public education on violence in America and provides information and analysis to policymakers, journalists, advocates, and the general public.

The Hope and Heal Fund is the only collaborative fund committed to preventing gun violence in California. The Hope and Heal Fund invests in innovative, strategic and evidence-based solutions to prevent gun violence, by harnessing the collective power of individuals, communities, government and philanthropy to ensure homes and communities in California are safe and free from gun death, injury and trauma.

Fathom Events, FOX Sports, and Premier Boxing Champions Present ‘Spence vs. Garcia’ Live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas

DENVER, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On March 16, IBF Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr. will defend his title against unbeaten four-division world champion Mikey Garcia. For the highly-anticipated bout, broadcast live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, Garcia will move up to try and capture a title in a fifth-weight class against Spence. “Spence Jr. vs. Garcia,” and its co-featured fights, will be shown on big screens across the nation.

Tickets for “Spence Jr. vs. Garcia” can be purchased online at www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices now.

The live broadcast of “Spence Jr. vs. Garcia” presented by Fathom Events, FOX Sports, and Premier Boxing Champions, is set for Saturday, March 16 beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. CT / 7:00 p.m. MT / 6:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. AK / 4:00 p.m. HI. Boxing fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 300 select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). A complete list of theater locations is available on the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) is no stranger to big stadium events, as he won the IBF title by traveling to England to take on then-champion Kell on May 27, 2017. In front of a raucous crowd of over 27,000 loyal Brook supporters, the 28-year-old Spence stopped Brook in round 11 to wrest away the title.

This will be Spence’s third defense of the title. After beating Brook, he successfully defended it with an eighth-round stoppage of two-division champion Lamont Peterson and then knocked out mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the first round in his last fight at The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Tex., near his hometown of Desoto, Tex. on June 16. Spence turned pro shortly after representing the U.S. at the 2012 London Olympics with much promise and rose to the championship ranks with wins over former champion Chris Algieri and veteran contenders Leonard Bundu, Alejandro Barrera and Chris van Heerden.

Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) is striving to put together a legendary career and is aggressively pursuing that goal. He has won world championships at featherweight, junior lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight. He now eyes a welterweight title against the consensus class of the division in Spence. Fighting out of Moreno Valley, Calif., Garcia unified the IBF and WBC Lightweight World Championships in his last bout by scoring unanimous decision victory over Robert Easter, Jr. on July 28.

The 31-year-old first reached the championship ranks by blitzing through the featherweight and junior lightweight division, defeating Orlando Salido, Juan Manuel Lopez, Roman Martinez, and Juan Carlos Burgos to establish himself as a star in the sport. Garcia has been on a fast track since ending a nearly 2.5-year hiatus with a knockout victory over Elios Rojas in 2016. After the victory over Rojas, Garcia scored a KO victory over Dejan Zlaticanin for the WBC lightweight championship in January 2017, before defeating four-division champion Adrien Broner in July, and then captured a title at 140 lbs. by dropping down and defeating Sergey Lipinets last March.

“Boxing fans won’t want to miss this chance to find out who is the best pound-for-pound fighter when ‘Spence Jr. vs. Garcia’ comes to local cinemas across the country,” Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt said. “As a tradition for fight fans, there’s nothing better than watching bouts live on the big screen from AT&T Stadium.”

March of Dimes Urges States To Accurately Identify Babies Affected By Opioids

February 21, 2019

March of Dimes Foundation Logo (PRNewsfoto/March of Dimes Foundation)

ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The United States has no national tracking system for babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), just a patchwork quilt of state systems that are not always accurately counting the number of babies born affected by opioids, March of Dimes says.

In 2017, March of Dimes and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded grants to three states — Illinois, New Mexico, and Vermont — to obtain state-level, population-based estimates of babies born with NAS. A study that will be published Feb. 22 in CDC’s journal Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report found that the three states’ estimates of the number of babies born with NAS varied widely.

March of Dimes and the authors of the study note that these three states are building on existing methods from state birth defects surveillance programs to count babies affected by NAS. March of Dimes officials urged other states across the country to create or improve NAS tracking efforts.

“It’s very difficult to treat moms and newborns affected by opioid use, and to allocate the resources needed for them, without knowing the exact frequency of the problem in your state,” says Rahul Gupta, MD, MPH, MBA, Chief Medical & Health Officer for March of Dimes. “We urge all states to adapt birth defects surveillance programs to measure NAS incidence so that all moms and babies can get the health care they need, no matter which state they are born in.”

Dr. Gupta also noted that March of Dimes has made it a priority to help and support pregnant women and babies affected by opioid use and keep them safe. This includes policy initiatives aimed at providing care for mother and baby, such as access to comprehensive services; priority access to drug treatment programs and flexible treatment; immunity during prenatal visits; and more provider education.

NAS is a drug withdrawal syndrome that can occur in newborns exposed to opioids and other addictive substances during pregnancy. Recent U.S. estimates indicate that, from 2004–2014, NAS incidence increased from 1.5 to 8.0 per 1,000 hospital births. The authors of Feb. 22’s paper note that these estimates were based on diagnostic codes identified in hospital discharge data (HDD), and little is known about how well these codes identify NAS.

The MMWR study utilized methodology developed in state birth defects surveillance programs and verified potential cases using a consistent definition and medical chart review. The study found that Illinois’s NAS incidence rates (3.0 per 1,000 births in 2015 and 2016) were higher than previous estimates determined using passive surveillance methods. NAS incidence rates for New Mexico and Vermont were 7.5, and 30.8 per 1,000 births, respectively, in 2015 — slightly lower than previously reported HDD-based estimates for these states (8.5 and 33.3 per 1,000 births).

“Leveraging Existing Birth Defects Surveillance Infrastructure to Build Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Surveillance Systems — Illinois, New Mexico, and Vermont, 2015–2016,” by Jennifer N. Lind, PharmD and team including Caroline C. Alter, MS, formerly of March of Dimes, appears in Feb. 22’s issue of MMWR.
