Voto Latino Convenes More Than 300 Latino Millennials at 7th Power Summit in Silicon Valley

October 20, 2015

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Voto Latino, the leading non-profit organization empowering Latino Millennials and engaging them in the civic process, gathered more than 300 Latino Millennials at its seventh VL Power Summit. The event was held at Stanford University, October 16-17, in collaboration with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity.

“Voto Latino is making good on the promise chanted by so many over the last decade: ‘Hoy marchamos, mañana votamas (today we march, tomorrow we vote).’ Tomorrow is here,” said Tomas Jimenez, Associate Professor of Sociology and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, on why he chose to host Voto Latino at Stanford University.

“We held this year’s Power Summit in Silicon Valley at a pivotal time for the Latino community. Our community is under attack, making it all the more crucial to convene hundreds of Latino Millennials, and to set the stage not only for 2016, but the years that follow,” said Maria Teresa Kumar, President & CEO of Voto Latino. “Power Summit gave them the tools they need to challenge the naysayers and continue being the leaders that our community needs.”

“Young Latinos and young people in general hold the power,” said Wilmer Valderrama, co-chair of Voto Latino’s artist coalition, on the importance of this demographic. “They have the ability to actually talk to their parents and reeducate their parents, who have sometimes been removed from the political process and from the voting process. They single-handedly can create change.”

VL Power Summit kicked off Friday evening at Electronic Arts (EA). Participants toured the EA campus and heard from a panel of EA developers that included Crystal Sanchez, the company’s highest-ranking Latina. She shared her journey from a graduate in Chicano studies to working for one of the biggest video gaming companies in the nation.

On day two, VL convened more than 300 Latino Millennials to educate, engage, and empower them through workshops and training sessions from industry experts with Buzzfeed, Fusion, Microsoft, FWD.us and more. Participants were also called upon to serve as VL Insiders and continue building momentum and activating change in their communities once they returned home. Notable speakers included:

Antonio Villaraigosa, former Los Angeles mayor
Jose Acosta, president of publics affairs for UPS
Jose Antonio Vargas, filmmaker, journalist and activist

“We can’t change the politics about immigration without changing the conversation about this issue,” said Vargas during a conversation on race in today’s society. “You’re living in the biggest time for intersectionality.” Further, in the era of black lives matter, LGBT rights, women’s rights, and climate change. He said it is important for them to become activists and advocates for the issues they care about.

This year’s VL Power Summit was made possible thanks to the generous support of the MacArthur Foundation, The California Endowment, PG&E, Defend Our Future, Electronic Arts (EA), Comcast, Aids Healthcare Foundation, Microsoft, the Ford Foundation, Sprint, and HipGive.

Fergie Launches Outspoken Party! Fragrance With Avon

October 20, 2015

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Multiplatinum singer Fergie launches the next chapter in her partnership with Avon with Outspoken Party! by Fergie, an exhilarating new fragrance for women that captures the electric feel of a party that never stops through deliciously fruity and floral notes.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7660351-avon-outspoken-party-fergie/

To celebrate the fragrance launch, Avon hosted an unforgettable event in New York, featuring an exclusive panel discussion with Fergie and three Avon Representatives. Also, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Fergie interviewed Dr. Paul Goss, a global cancer expert and Chairman of the Avon Foundation Scientific Advisory Board. Meg Lerner, Vice President of Marketing North America for Avon, moderated the discussion, which was streamed live and can be found at beautyforapurpose.com/fergie-livestream.

Attendees heard Fergie’s take on her new fragrance firsthand. “With each scent, I am always thinking about the woman who needs no introduction,” says Fergie. “She is fearless, independent, and empowered, and thrives on empowering others.” Outspoken Party! is the fifth scent in Fergie’s best-selling Outspoken line with Avon. To celebrate the launch, throughout the month of October, Avon is donating $5* to the Avon Foundation for Women with each Outspoken by Fergie full size EDP purchase to help conquer breast cancer.

Avon also celebrated the launch of Beauty for a Purpose, a new global brand statement focused on the company’s commitment to empowering Avon Representatives and women around the world through beauty and financial independence. The Avon Representatives in attendance are starring in this new branding effort, which is largely powered through digital channels, tapping into high-reach editorial, video and social media platforms. The Representatives shared their personal stories of empowerment; Avon Representative Orenthia Ricketts credited Avon for helping to achieve her goals, noting, “I started this journey years ago just to make some extra money, and instead it changed my life. The idea behind Beauty for a Purpose really speaks to the heart of Avon and what its Representatives stand for.”

Additionally, Dr. Paul Goss shared how the work he is currently doing with the Avon Foundation for Women is improving cancer care for patients around the globe. Goss discussed his leadership of the Avon Breast Cancer Clinical Scholars Program, a scholarship program that trains global breast cancer specialists at leading U.S. breast cancer centers, as well as twice-monthly Live Tumor Boards, which bring together hundreds of doctors across the globe to review and discuss complex cases. “Doctors love nothing better than talking to their colleagues about patient care,” says Avon Foundation Scientific Advisory Board Chairman Dr. Paul Goss. “So, I’ve created a beehive of cancer communication among oncologists, which will help improve patient outcomes and create best practices for breast cancer care worldwide.”

Last week, Fergie attended another event celebrating breast cancer awareness month – the Avon Foundation for Women’s annual Tribute Reception, “The Breast Party of the Year.” The event celebrated the Avon Breast Cancer Centers of Excellence, the top fundraisers of AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer, and a new campaign launched by Avon for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, #BeABreastFriend, which urges women to support one another’s breast health by making a pledge to openly discuss exams and doctor visits. Fergie is also featured on Avon’s new blog, AllFortheBreast.org that will serve as a resource to help women feel empowered when seeking access to quality care.
