Campaign Launches to Mobilize Florida Voters Against Amendment 1

November 4, 2016

ORLANDO, Florida, Nov. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Latino political, community, and business leaders announced their efforts to mobilize voters in opposition to Amendment 1, a ballot initiative open to voters at Tuesday’s polls. The deceptively-marketed Amendment is backed by large utility companies in Florida in an effort to make solar energy more expensive and less competitive to consumers. Amendment 1 would keep Floridians captive power consumers, without the health and financial benefits of solar power.

Savings from solar energy would alleviate the financial strain the 24,000 low-income families in Miami, and the 500,000+ families in Florida overall that spend 15 to 20% of their income on energy bills. And for Latinos that often live in close proximity to power plants and thus are more likely to be negatively impacted by pollution, solar technology can result in cleaner air and healthier communities. Some medical experts have stated that Latino families face an “environmental health crisis,” as 1 in 10 Latino children suffer from and are 40% more likely to die from asthma due to health care disparities. Solar technology would also create opportunity for these communities through accessible, new jobs in the clean energy sector—jobs that pay $18 to $32 per hour in Florida, which would mean significant gains for the Latinos who currently constitute one-fifth of Florida’s solar workforce. Amendment 1 an immediate and real impact on these families: when they can save money on buying energy, they are better able to provide for housing, food and other basic necessities.

But none of this information was made clear to voters by power companies during their campaign for the ballot initiative. Utility companies gained support for Amendment 1 by falsely claiming the ballot initiative would make it easier for people to switch to solar power in Florida. Amendment 1 misleads Florida voters by promising rights and protections Florida citizens already have, including the right to purchase or lease solar equipment.

Opposition to Amendment 1 consists of a diverse and bipartisan group of 70 businesses, industry associations, conservative groups, faith communities, clean energy advocates and environmental organizations. Floridian icons, bipartisan elected officials, candidates for office, and 24 newspaper editorial boards have also urged Florida voters to vote “no” on Amendment 1.

“The fight against amendment one and the fight to protect rooftop solar in Florida is an environmental issue and a justice issue,” said Jennifer Allen, Vice President and National Director, Chispa, at the League of Conservation Voters. “Latino neighborhoods and families are the most impacted by pollution and the first impacted by climate change, but yet we’re often excluded from the processes where decisions are made about the health of our communities. On November 8^th, we have a chance to speak up and protect the clean energy future that our communities need.”

“Communities of color on the ground in Florida are waking up to the deceptive tactics of the utility lobby to kill solar in Florida,” said Yulissa Arce, Central Florida Director for Organize NOW. “We are seeing them speak up and mobilize against the harmful impact of fossil fuels on the environment and on Latino and African American neighborhoods.”

Aliki Moncrief, Executive Director of Florida Conservation Voters, said, “Amendment 1 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing designed to trick voters into keeping the utilities’ monopoly on our energy. Latinos, African-Americans, everyone – we must unite as one Florida for a clean energy future and vote no on 1.”

“I stand in solidarity with Floridians during this tough and dirty fight,” said former Nevada Assemblywoman, Senior Political Strategist at MiTú, Lucy Flores. “I’ve seen firsthand the devastating effects of letting the utility lobby write your state’s solar policy. Nevada has seen a near 100% drop off in solar installations and lost thousands of much needed jobs. I hope this serves as an example and a warning to Florida’s voters to vote no on 1.”

CAZA DE BRUJAS EN SAN ANTONIO: An Unsolved Crime

November 4, 2016

Anna Vasquez, one of the San Antonio Four.

MIAMI, Nov. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In 1994, four Latinas lesbians were wrongfully convicted of aggravated sexual assault and indecency against two young girls in San Antonio, Texas. Almost ten years later all four women were set free, but still struggle to be exonerated of the charges. The documentary CAZA DE BRUJAS EN SAN ANTONIO directed by Deborah S. Esquenazi, investigates the case and the devastating impact it had on the lives of these four women and their families. The documentary will air on US Hispanic television on Sunday, November 13th at 9PM E/P on Discovery en Español during the Discovery a Fondo block.

Critically acclaimed at film festivals, CAZA DE BRUJAS EN SAN ANTONIO (Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four), begins its journey inside a Texas prison, over a decade after Elizabeth Ramírez, Cassandra Rivera, Kristie Mayhugh, and Anna Vasquez (labeled the San Antonio Four), were sentenced to 37 and 15 years in prison. None of the women ever took a plea bargain or ever considered it, and always maintained their innocence. In 2012 and 2013, they were finally liberated after one of the accusers recanted her statement and forensic evidence used in the case was debunked.

Through interviews with the four women, their families, and lawyers, as well as footage and unreleased videos, the documentary director reveals the odd claims and injustices that were portrayed on these individuals due to their sexual orientation during the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980-90. The production also follows the work of attorneys from the Innocence Project of Texas, who played a pivotal role on the women’s ultimate release from prison.

CAZA DE BRUJAS EN SAN ANTONIO is produced by Motto Pictures and Naked Edge Films with Deborah S. Esquenazi as director and Sam Tabet as producer.

March Of Dimes And Little Lotus Announce Partnership In Honor Of World Prematurity Day

November 4, 2016

WHITE PLAINS, New York, Nov. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes, the country’s leading nonprofit in mom and baby health and in the prevention of premature birth — the #1 killer of babies — and Little Lotus, the innovative baby product line from health tech social enterprise Embrace Innovations, today announced a month-long partnership to run throughout November, Prematurity Awareness Month. The partnership kick-off coincides with the recent launch of the March of Dimes’ Give them tomorrow campaign.

Each year in the United States, about 380,000 babies are born prematurely – setting them up for possible lifelong health problems, including breathing problems, jaundice, vision loss, cerebral palsy and intellectual delays. That’s why March of Dimes is funding research to identify the unknown causes of preterm birth so more moms can have full-term, healthy babies.

From today through November 30, Little Lotus will donate $5.00 from every purchase of the Lotus Signature Swaddle and Sleeping Bag – featuring the company’s original, handprint-inspired design – to March of Dimes to help support this critical work.

Little Lotus is a line of baby products (including swaddle and sleeping bags for newborns – 2 years) using a proprietary fabric inspired by NASA spacesuits to keep babies at the optimal temperature, helping them to sleep better. The company has a forthcoming preemie size swaddle as well, with pre-orders available soon. For every Little Lotus baby product purchased, a baby is saved by the Embrace Warmer, a low-cost infant incubator designed by Embrace Innovations, which has already helped to save over 200,000 babies around the world.

“Premature birth is a serious problem in the United States, and March of Dimes is our country’s biggest champion in the fight against it,” says Embrace Innovations CEO, Jane Chen. “The March of Dimes mission couldn’t be more aligned with the mission and values of Embrace Innovations and our consumer product line, Little Lotus. Since our founding, we have strived to help save preterm infants around the world, so we are thrilled to support March of Dimes, and babies right here at home, in this way.”

All purchases of the Lotus Signature Swaddle and Sleeping Bag will be available exclusively through littlelotusbaby.com.

“We are truly excited to have this new partnership with Little Lotus,” said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. “This is a company that combines a unique blend of passion and commerce – helping to give every baby a fighting chance and healthy start. We are truly lucky to have partners like Little Lotus that share our commitment to supporting moms and saving babies.”

About Embrace Innovations and Little Lotus
Embrace Innovations is committed to helping save the lives of preterm infants in the developing world through the Embrace Warmer, a low-cost baby incubator that stabilizes a baby’s body temperature. The company’s innovation and mission recently drew attention from Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, who made a donation to get Embrace Warmers throughout sub-Saharan Africa, in partnership with the Millennium Promise. In 2014, Embrace Co-Founder Jane Chen was invited to the White House for the first ever White House Maker Faire, where Embrace was selected as one of 10 organizations to present its work to President Obama. To date, the Embrace Warmer has helped over 200,000 low birth weight and premature infants in 20 countries. Learn more at embraceinnovations.com, and via Chen’s TED talk.

A consumer product line from Embrace Innovations, Little Lotus (featured in Bloomberg Businessweek, Wall St. Journal, New York Times, Inc. Magazine, and more) was launched in 2015. Each item in the Little Lotus family works to keep babies at the ideal temperature, using a proprietary NASA inspired fabric. Moreover, each product purchased helps to save a life in a developing country with the Embrace Warmer. Learn more at littlelotusbaby.com or follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

2017 Honda Pilot Gets Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™

November 4, 2016

TORRANCE, California, Nov. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honda continues to strengthen its position in the three-row SUV segment with fresh updates to the award-winning Honda Pilot for the 2017 model year. The 2017 Pilot will now be available with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ functionality, a new fingerprint resistant touchscreen and an expanded interior color palette. The 2017 Honda Pilot goes on sale beginning Monday, November 7, with a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP)¹ of $30,595 for LX 2WD and $32,395 for LX AWD.

“The all-new third-generation Pilot has been a huge hit with SUV buyers,” said Jeff Conrad, Honda Division senior vice president and general manager. “For 2017, we’re making Pilot even more appealing with new technology and options that our customers are seeking.”

Honda was among the first automakers to incorporate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, starting with the 2016 Accord and Civic. For 2017, Pilot EX and above trims will now feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality integrated into an improved 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen. These models will also see application of a new coating to reduce the appearance of fingerprints on the screen while retaining high glare resistance. Customer choice is also further enhanced for 2017 with extended availability of a black interior, now available on all trims optioned with the White Diamond Pearl exterior paint (previously available only on Elite).

Since its introduction in the summer of 2015, the Honda Pilot has earned a host of awards and accolades, including being named one of the “Best Cars for the Money” by U.S. News & World Report; “Best SUV of 2016” by Hispanic Motor Press; “Best Family Cars of 2016” by KBB.com, Parents Magazine and Edmunds.com; and as a finalist for 2016 North American Truck/Utility of the Year.

Touring	AWD	$43,470	19/26/22
Elite	AWD	$47,070	19/26/22

Family-Friendly Utility
The Pilot builds on its reputation for interior space, versatility and utility with comfortable seating for up to eight passengers and a cargo area that can hold an 82-quart cooler without compromising third-row seating capability. Third-row entry and exit is easy and intuitive courtesy of the available one-touch second-row seat on EX-L and above models, and large third-row entryway.

The Pilot’s center console features a cavernous storage compartment capable of accommodating items as large as a full-size iPad or a purse. And with its seamless cover in the closed position, the console provides a convenient, non-slip surface for items that the driver or front passenger may need close at hand.

Powertrain
The 2017 Pilot delivers refined, powerful and fuel-efficient performance courtesy of its 3.5-liter, direct-injected i-VTEC^® V-6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM™) cylinder deactivation technology producing peak output of 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque.³ The engine is matched to a choice of two advanced transmissions – a 6-speed automatic transmission or, on upper trims, a 9-speed automatic transmission – both delivering refined, responsive and fuel-efficient performance.

These powertrains combine with a light yet rigid unit-body structure and aerodynamically efficient body and chassis designs that result in class-leading EPA fuel economy ratings topping out at 20/27/23 mpg (city/highway/combined) for two-wheel-drive models and 19/26/22 mpg for all-wheel-drive models.²

Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4™) AWD System
The Pilot’s available Intelligent VTM4 (i-VTM4) is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced all-wheel-drive system offered in a mainstream, three-row SUV. This entirely more capable system progressively distributes optimum torque between the front and rear axles and dynamically distributes engine torque between the left and right rear wheels. Benefits include superior all-weather handling and neutral, accurate steering under power that is more effective than front-drive, rear-drive or conventional all-wheel-drive systems.

Intelligent Traction Management
All Pilots feature a button-operated Intelligent Terrain Management System that offers different operating modes, for the AWD: Normal, Snow, Mud and Sand; and for the FWD: Normal and Snow. Developed, tuned and tested in challenging locations in the U.S. and around the world – including Imperial Dunes “Glamis”, California; Moscow, Russia; and Dubai, United Arab Emirates – the Intelligent Traction Management system allows the driver to select the operating mode that best suits the driving conditions by simply pushing a button on the vehicle’s center console. Based on the setting selected, the system adjusts the drive-by-wire map, transmission shift map, Vehicle Stability Assist™ and i-VTM4 torque distribution for AWD-equipped models for optimal performance in a variety of road or surface conditions.

Advanced Safety and Assistive Performance
In keeping with Honda’s commitment to safety and driver convenience, the Pilot is available with Honda Sensing™, a suite of technologies designed to expand the driver’s situational awareness while sensing and responding to potential road hazards, including other vehicles, road obstacles and even pedestrians, even to the point of mitigating the possibility or severity of a collision. The Pilot includes a standard Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and an available suite of safety and driver assistive technologies that includes LaneWatch™ display, a blind spot information system, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor.

The 2017 Pilot earned top safety ratings from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), including a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score, and is expected to earn a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including a GOOD rating in all crash modes and a SUPERIOR rating for front crash prevention. The Pilot incorporates Honda’s next generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to efficiently absorb and disperse the energy from a frontal collision, along with ultra-high-strength door rings designed to help better protect occupants.

Standard safety and driver-assistive features include four-channel anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Brake Assist and Hill Start Assist; Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA^®) with Traction Control; dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, driver and front passenger side airbags and side-curtain airbags for all outboard seating positions; and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with real-time display of individual tire pressures.

Pilot Manufacturing
The Honda Pilot was designed and developed by Honda R&D Americas, Inc., in Los Angeles and Ohio, and is manufactured exclusively by Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, LLC in Lincoln, Alabama using domestic and globally sourced parts.

About Honda
Honda offers a full line of reliable, fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive vehicles with advanced safety technologies sold through over 1,000 independent U.S. Honda dealers.

Hispanic Vote Endorses Clinton-Kaine

November 4, 2016

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Since launching in 2012, Hispanic Vote has remained dedicated to its mission of enabling and connecting with the >21 million eligible Hispanic voters. Founder, Dennis Garcia, explains how he originally aimed to mobilize Millennial Hispanics, and those who feel their personal conservative ideologies do not align with or are being ignored by both Republican and Democratic parties, to connect, interact and participate in our democratic process.

Hispanic Vote’s efforts in the 2012 campaign—interacting with the leadership of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC), participating in National Voter Registration Day and in grassroots Getting Out the Vote community activities—allowed them to make great strides in raising awareness of opportunities for Hispanics.

“We reminded Hispanics that they are part of our country and part of our national decision-making process,” says Mr. Garcia. “Their voice, collectively and individually, should be heard. Their vote counts and is critical to moulding the future of our country, to providing growth opportunities for individuals, families and small businesses.”

For the 2016 race, Hispanic Vote segued from its previous grassroots efforts to political networking, consulting with both Republican and Democrat politicians and PACs, and with the media, on policy issues important to the Hispanic base, including the economy, healthcare, immigration and education.

It is unprecedented for Hispanic Vote to promote or endorse one party over another. “But,” says Mr. Garcia, “our work, one-on-one experiences and internal polling over the past year has compelled us to endorse the Democratic ticket in general and the Clinton-Kaine ticket in particular.”

In a recent article by Farai Chideya, senior writer for FiveThirtyEight.com, explains “The number of Mexican-American and Latino voters who show up on Nov. 8 could determine the outcome in… state, and possibly in the nation[al elections].” (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/mexican-americans-are-reshaping-the-electoral-map-in-arizona-and-the-u-s/)

Mr. Garcia concludes with a message to all eligible voters, “Don’t let fear or frustration keep you from the polls on November 8th. Your voice needs to be included in this dialogue that affects you, your children and all of your future generations. Your vote counts.”
