Mazda CX-5 and CX-9 Once Again Awarded Two Spots on Car and Driver’s 10Best Trucks and SUVs List

January 16, 2019

Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, Calif., and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States and Mexico through nearly 700 dealers. Operations in Mexico are managed by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City. For more information on Mazda vehicles, including photography and B-roll, please visit the online Mazda media center at www.mazdausamedia.com.

IRVINE, California, Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2019 Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV and 2019 Mazda CX-9 three-row crossover SUV have been named two of Car and Driver magazine’s 10Best Trucks and SUVs for 2019. This is the second straight Best Compact SUV honor for the Mazda CX-5, and third consecutive Best Mid-Size SUV crowning for the Mazda CX-9.

Both SUVs distinguished themselves amongst the competition, while also exceeding expectations with their value. The Mazda CX-5 and CX-9 demonstrated the qualities of a 10Best winner by delivering visceral driving experiences, excellent fuel efficiency, sophisticated design and refined craftsmanship.

Car and Driver noted that, “The Mazda CX-5 provides luxury-grade interior refinement at solidly nonluxury prices; ride and handling that feel sized up from a Miata, rather than dumbed down for mass-market appeal; and an exterior that bucks the boxy conventions of its segment in favor of something significantly more elegant. But most of all, there’s the sense that the CX-5 was designed for people like us—people who love to drive.”

The Mazda CX-9 was also praised by Car and Driver for standing out in its class by providing exceptional driving dynamics with a refined interior and design.

“Nothing in this class can match the CX-9’s dynamic competence. It’s not even close, friends. If you need a three-row SUV, you will not find a better-driving, more satisfying one than the Mazda CX-9. Period. Take a gander at the flowing curves and taut lines of the CX-9. Inspect its tasteful adornment. Inside, you will find one of the most handsome arrangements of materials in the segment. A mass-market family vehicle needn’t look and feel like a plastic storage bin. And you need not pilot a rudderless barge down the shipping lanes of middle age.”

The Mazda CX-5 raises the bar in 2019 by adding two new, more luxurious top-tier trim levels with Grand Touring Reserve and Signature. The 2019 Mazda CX-5 refines the powertrain lineup with the addition of the turbocharged four-cylinder SKYACTIV-G 2.5T engine and an enhanced focus on the chassis featuring the latest technologies with G-Vectoring Control Plus. It also hosts advanced features that help improve on the vehicle’s comfort, convenience and safety. The 360° View Monitor and the 7-inch, full-color touchscreen display with available Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibilities are among the new features available on the 2019 model.

The 2019 Mazda CX-9 also introduces new features and refinements to benefit drivers and passengers in all three rows. The Mazda CX-9 has a retuned suspension that provides a smoother, more natural ride experience. Greater sound suppression was achieved by way of a thicker headliner and thicker floor mats, which aid in ease of conversation and enjoyment. The flagship three-row SUV is now available with a 360° View Monitor, ventilated front seated, new, power-folding mirrors and Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibilities.

Car and Driver’s 10Best accolade is one of the most sought-after awards in the automotive industry. For eligibility, vehicles must be a returning winner, all-new or significantly revised with a base price of $90,000 or less. Vehicles are judged on their class, value and driving experience.

Most recently, the 2019 MX-5 Miata was named as one of Car and Driver’s 10Best Cars. For the 18th year in a row, the MX-5 Miata has taken top honors on this renowned list for punching above its weight class and exemplifying the ideal roadster with value, excellent driving dynamics and a timeless design.

Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, California, and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States and Mexico through nearly 700 dealers.

MPOWER And LULF Launch Scholarships For DACA And Latin American Students

January 15, 2019

WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — U.S. college students from Latin America, as well as both Latino and non-Latino students with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, are eligible for two new scholarship programs created through a unique partnership between MPOWER Financing and La Unidad Latina Foundation (LULF). MPOWER Financing, a certified B Corporation (social enterprise), is the leading U.S. provider of education loans to international and DACA students. LULF propels students dedicated to advancing the Latino community from high school to college graduation and beyond.

These two new scholarship programs — La Unidad Latina/MPOWERING Estudiantes Latinoamericanos and La Unidad Latina/MPOWERING DACA Students — will support students who demonstrate the highest potential to advocate for and empower other DACA recipients or marginalized communities in their home countries or within the U.S. Latino community.

The MPOWER-LULF partnership grew out of a shared passion for supporting high-potential international and DACA students and expanding access to higher education. MPOWER CEO and Co-founder Manu Smadja’s was inspired to start his company after he received a request from a fellow member of a University of Virginia (UVA) Latino alumni association for a small personal loan for a tuition payment to complete his degree. “I thought it was so unfortunate that this talented young guy, who is now a successful engineer, could not graduate on time — or at all — because of financial issues,” said Smadja. “It also occurred to me that he was not the only who had to compromise education and a bright future for just a few hundred dollars. I sent him the money — and then decided to start MPOWER.”

The partnership with LULF was a “no-brainer,” according to Smadja. “LULF is at the forefront of the movement to eliminate financial barriers to higher education for Latinos, first-generation college students, and others in need,” he said.

LULF’s Chairman, Julio Casado, concurs. “When Manu first shared with me the mission of MPOWER, I knew one day we would work together,” he said. “The story of its founding is the story of so many of our students, and it is my story too. These scholarships will help more students overcome financial obstacles and achieve their dreams. We are excited to stand with MPOWER on this important initiative.”

The emphasis on DACA students reflects MPOWER and LULF’s engagement with this underserved population. MPOWER has made loans to DACA students at 16 universities and is working to increase its outreach to this community. “DACA students face a lot of hurdles,” Smadja said. “They’re not eligible for federal loans, and their parents typically have limited access to bank loans because they lack the credit history or income to qualify. We’ve assisted DACA students through our core lending product, which does not require collateral or a co-signer. We also include them in our existing Global Citizen Scholarship Program, but we wanted to create a unique scholarship program just for them in partnership with LULF.”

LULF has awarded scholarships irrespective of immigration status since its inception. In 2015, LULF permanently designated a scholarship for DACA students to support their fight for higher education and their place in America, their home. Since that time, LULF has awarded over $20,000 in scholarships to DACA students and hopes to significantly increase that number through its partnership with MPOWER.

The MPOWER-LULF partnership is part of a broader social impact strategy supported by a generous grant from Gray Matters Capital, a social impact investment firm and current investor in MPOWER.

About MPOWER Financing

MPOWER Financing, headquartered in Washington, D.C., and with offices in New York City and Bangalore, India, is a mission-driven fintech company and provider of global educational loans. It is the only student lender in the world that leverages both overseas and U.S. credit data, as well as future earning potential, to serve high-promise international and DACA students. MPOWER Financing works with more than 200 top universities and colleges across the nation to provide financing to students from over 200 countries. Since 2014, it has received close to $1B in loan application volume on its platform.

The team is backed by Gray Matters Capital, Breega, Potencia Ventures, Zephyr Management, Goal Structured Solutions, 1776, Village Capital, VARIV, DreamIt, Fresco, Chilango, K Street and University Ventures, as well as funds managed by Lloyd Crescendo Advisors and Community Investment Management.

Ana Patricia Of Despierta America Launches The “LECHE. Amor por lo verdadero” (MILK. Love what’s real) Campaign On National Milk Day Alongside A Powerful Pack Of Latinos That Pledge To Focus On What Really Matters In 2019, Like Nourishing Our Families

January 15, 2019

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Join the pledge with Ana Patricia, Chef Claudette Zepeda; dairy cow nutritionist and farm owner, Rosemarie Burgos; pediatrician, Dr. Ilan Shapiro; and of the Super Mamás podcast, sisters Bricia and Paulina Lopez, as they set out to love what’s real and really matters this 2019. On National Milk Day this team of advocates have joined together to announce the LECHE. Amor por lo verdadero (MILK. Love what’s real) campaign from Milk Life, encouraging all Latinos in the US to take a moment to center their attention on the things that really bring joy each day, like milk.

As a matter of fact, a new AI-fueled image recognition study found that milk was actually one of the most shared foods on Instagram (one out of every four food posts included milk). And, posts with milk are happier overall than those without – 25% happier!

Milk has always been there, as the perfect pair to any breakfast or to make any dish creamier and more delicious. It helps us give our kids the nutrients they need to grow strong, and it’s also part of the moments that really matter–– like starting the day as a family over a café con leche or digging into grandma’s famous arroz con leche. It is deeply rooted in our culture, we love it and serve it with love.

The Team:
Today, the Milk Life campaign is launching the LECHE. Amor por lo verdadero campaign to remind Hispanics of all the ways and places milk helps celebrate our traditions and what is really important. Announcing the new campaign is a group of dynamic Latinos, that have rallied together to bring the spotlight back to keeping it real and focusing on what really matters this 2019–– like nourishing our families with nutrient-rich milk.

Ana Patricia Gamez, co-host for Despierta America: “I come into your homes and help you start your day. In my house we start and end the day with a glass of delicious, nutrient rich-milk! It not only helps me wake up America everyday, it is also helps me serve up love and 9 essential nutrients in every glass.”

Claudette Zepeda, Executive Chef and Partner at El Jardin: “As a chef I show my love through my cooking. Nothing says I love you more than a nutritious and delicious meal prepared with real milk and real love.”

Rosemarie Burgos, Dairy Cow Nutritionist and Farm Owner: “We give our cows the best care; we take care of them and they take care of us. Milk is packed with 9 essential nutrients including protein, vitamins and minerals not only our kids need but we need them too.”

Dr. Ian Shapiro, Pediatrician: “As a doctor and a dad making sure my kids are getting the nutrients they need to grow up strong is so important. We can’t always see what they are eating and drinking once they leave the house. Milk packs 9 essential nutrients including 8 grams of protein in every 8 ounces.”

Bricia and Paulina Lopez, Super Mamas Podcast Hosts: “Our goal as the Super Mamas is to keep it real and create an honest, judgement-free zone for moms. Our goal as everyday moms is to keep our families healthy and happy. Milk helps us do this with its nutrient punch and delicious flavor!”

The new LECHE. Amor por lo verdadero campaign highlights the realness that milk brings to people’s lives and includes TV, radio, digital content and in-store elements. Consumers can share their love for milk online with #AmorPorLoVerdadero.

The Study:
While some research suggests social media can make you less than happy, new research uncovered a surprising ingredient in social media happiness: milk. In fact, one out of four of the 2.75 million #food posts shared on Instagram each month include milk (either in a glass, alongside a meal or as part of a recipe). Not to mention that posts with milk tend to be happier – 25% happier than posts without it.

Why Real Milk:
LECHE. Amor por lo verdadero invites you to enjoy those real and authentic moments that keep our traditions alive from generation to generation and spark joy in our lives. Hispanics love dairy milk for the role it plays in their daily lives and the nutrition and creaminess it brings to their meals. Real dairy milk is wholesome, simple and affordable – it enhances some of life’s most loved moments. One of the original farm-to-table foods, milk has nutrition that’s hard to find in other single foods and beverages. In fact, it’s the top food source of three of the nutrients most likely to be lacking in kids’ diets – calcium, vitamin D and potassium.

About MilkPEP
The Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP), Washington, DC, is funded by the nation’s milk companies, who are committed to increasing fluid milk consumption. The MilkPEP Board runs the Milk Life campaign, a multi-faceted campaign designed to educate consumers about the powerful nutritional benefits of milk – with 9 essential nutrients, including high-quality protein, in each 8 ounce glass.

Labor Commissioner Posts List of Port Trucking Companies with Unsatisfied Judgments for Labor Violations

January 14, 2019

OAKLAND, California, Jan. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The California Labor Commissioner today posted a list of port trucking companies with unsatisfied final court judgments, tax assessments or tax liens. Retailers and other businesses that hire companies on the list are jointly and severally liable for future labor and employment law violations committed by these companies.

The listed companies have committed wage theft against their employees and failed to come into compliance or pay wages owed. The trucking companies listed refused to pay truck drivers’ wages, overtime or expenses, failed to maintain workers’ compensation insurance, or intentionally misclassified employees as independent contractors to increase profit margins.

“Companies are on notice that if they contract with a known wage thief, they will be held responsible for the exploitation of the drivers who carry their goods,” said California Labor Commissioner Julie A. Su. “This new law incentivizes trucking companies to pay up on judgments and put earned wages into drivers’ pockets.”

Since 2011, the Labor Commissioner’s Office has received more than 1,000 port trucking wage claims and issued 448 decisions in favor of the truck drivers with more than $50 million in wages owed. Under SB 1402 (Lara), customers who contract with the listed motor carriers will now share civil legal responsibility and civil liability for the full amount found due for unpaid wages, unreimbursed expenses, damages, penalties and applicable interest owed to a driver.

The Labor Commissioner’s Office gave at least 15 business days’ advance notice to the port trucking companies on the list before its posting. The list will be updated at least once a month, and the Labor Commissioner’s Office will remove companies from the list within 15 days after receiving confirmation of payment of monies owed, or an approved settlement agreement.

The Labor Commissioner’s Office, officially known as the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, is a division of DIR. Among its wide-ranging enforcement responsibilities, the Labor Commissioner’s Office adjudicates wage claims, inspects workplaces for wage and hour violations, investigates retaliation complaints and educates the public on labor laws.

Employees with work-related questions or complaints may contact DIR’s Call Center in English or Spanish at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734).

Members of the press may contact Jeanne-Mairie Duval or Erika Monterroza at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.

The California Department of Industrial Relations, established in 1927, protects and improves the health, safety, and economic well-being of over 18 million wage earners, and helps their employers comply with state labor laws. DIR is housed within the Labor & Workforce Development Agency. For general inquiries, contact DIR’s Communications Call Center at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734) for help in locating the appropriate division or program in our department.
