ADVOCACY - ACTIVISM

Los campamentos de personas sin hogar, en D.C., incluyen personas y familias inmigrantes latinas desalojadas.

De las 6,000 personas en el Distrito, hay un porcentaje significativo que son inmigrantes con multi-estatus migratorio. estas intersecciones de necesidad son injusticia humana!

La alcaldesa se está aprovechando de la crueldad de Trump, para cubrir sus fallos en resolver la ya histórica crisis de vivienda en la capital de Estados Unidos. 

Fallas de empleados del departamento de servicios humanos en demostrar resultados, y envés derrochan fondos. Y ojo que también hay empleadas Latinas que trabajan en este departamento, que no hacen un buen trabajo.

Falls de docenas de organizaciones sin fines de lucro que solo saben recibir fondos, pero no demuestran resultados.

Fallos en resolver las intersecciones de esta crisis de salubridad emocional e humanitaria en toda la región. 

Las soluciones que yo propongo tienen que incluir lo siguiente:

1. Reformas en la normativa que deben seguir las organizaciones que ofrecen servicios a residentes sin vivienda, y establecer robustas auditorias, monitoreo, y evaluación.  

2. Terminar contratos con organizaciones como caridades católicas que dentro de los albergues, se convirtieron en una corporación que solo sabe cobrar por sus servicios, acumulando lucros en sus cuentas bancarias.

3. Exigir que las organizaciones non-profit demuestran resultados, y entregan reportes que demuestren que por lo menos 50% de sus casos/servicios son efectivos con salubridad sostenible.  

Excerpts of testimony to State of Maryland Senate Proceedings Education Committee - March 5, 2025

"...The problem is the failure of UMCP (Univ. of Md. College Park) & USM (Univ. Systems of Maryland) to address and enforce anti-hate, it is not the expressive activities." 

This has been an eternal problem, and this is why: 

"On September 19, 2023, I attended the Central Maryland Hate Bias Reporting Forum, organized by the MD commission on civil rights. At the meeting I realized the disparity and prejudice that exists within the statewide advocacy organizations on hate bias reporting.  I was the only brown Immigrant Latina present at the meeting. Not one university parent or their college student were present. Absent were USM chancellor staff, and state representatives listed on this bill’s Working Group”.

UMCP & USM failure to address and enforce anti-hate, it is not expressive activities.  

"Present were the parents of First Lt. Richard Collins III who was killed by the 22-year-old University of Maryland senior Sean Urbanski on campus. Mr. Collins was just standing on a sidewalk, he was not part of any expressive activity." 

One sided and selective lobbying.

"What I also witnessed at the forum is the massive representation of systemic antisemitism lobbying and its direct connection to the police and policing. Let it be clear I am in support of antisemitic regulations and policies. What I am clearly stating is that there is a blatantly established disparity in advocacy on behalf of the rest of us underserved humans who experience “Other forms of Racial Ethnic and Religious violence, harassment, and intimidation”, as poorly written on the bill.
