MADRE SOLO UNA:FELICIDADES A TI MADRE! A todas las madres que son nuestras lectoras especialmente a aquellas quienes con mucho sacrificio levantaron a sus hijos e hijas las felicito de corazon en este dia dedicado en el calendario a las madres. Para mi todos los dias son los dias de las madres, porque madre solo una! Tonemos este dia de las madres para agendar una propuesta de trabajo comunitaria y legislativa en torno a las necesidades a los derechos de la mujer desde los derechos reproductivos, igualdad de paga, entrenamiento a trabajos en ciencias y matematicas y destrezas que nos ayuden a desarrollarnos en diversas areas. El mejor regalo que le puedes dar a cualquier mujer es apoyarla en edificarse como individuo y como miembro de la comunidad. Toma un momento, mira la agenda legislativa, educacional, laboral y de las artes en tu distrito y toma accion, necesitamos tu apoyo. Hay tantas iniciativas de leyes y propuestas de vida que necesitan nacer y tomar vida crecer con el apoyo y el empuje de nuestra perspectiva cultural y linguistica.  Juntas y juntos podemos crear iniciativas de leyes y programas para darle voz y voto a aquellos y aquellas quienes no han podido participar en el dialogo equitativo de nuestra democracia! El dia de las madres es el dia mas apropiado para iniciar, re-iniciar y propulsar tantas ideas, proyects, y propuestas! Dale! Animate! Toma la iniciativa, en nombre de tu mama, de tu tia favorita, de abu la mujer luchadora, de la madrina que le da la cara al sol aunque la lluvia caiga sobre lo mojado. Piensa en una propuesta de ley que pudiese cambiar el rumbo de tu comunidad, propulsar un proyecto de ley para la salud reproductiva de la mujer, y o la educacion. Un regalo concreto que puedes hacer es participar en organizar tu comunidad en un asunto especifico  y proponer un Proyecto de ley a tu senadora o asambleista estatal para microempresas, guarderias infantiles y o viviendas en tu comunidad. Ejemplo: Propuesta de Ley Para Banco de MicroInversiones y Becas a Emprededoras de Buffalo. Presupuesto Total de  un millon de de dolares moneda de los Estados Unidos de Norteamerica para mujeres vendedoras de artesania hecha a mano residentes del distrito X en Buffalo con la tematica de la madre latina en la cuidad de Buffalo.  Numero de participantes (X por una cantidad de $ becas para materiales y el mercadeo de su produccion para el Desarrollo de su mercancia.). Piensa en algo que te gustaria que sabes que puede levantar tu comunidad!

LATINOS AND  NEW YORK POLITICS

Politics /

Looking Back: FAMILIA, IF YOU ASK THE WRONG QUESTION, YOU WILL END UP WITH THE WRONG ANSWER I love my people but some of our leadership can be so gullible. Here we have an article on what Gov. Hochul can do for the people of the island of Puerto Rico. Convenient assertions days before the election and indications some of her Puerto Rican support is hemorrhaging. The question is not what she will do for Puerto Rico, though relevant, the question is what has she ever done for Puerto Ricans anywhere? Hochul had an opportunity to make major New York State Puerto Rican appointments to her administration but instead ‘nada” except for Sec. of State Robert Rodriguez. After undercutting the efforts to elect one of two Latinas (non-boricua Archila and Reyna though with strong support from the Rican community) as Lt. Governor. In that sense, she is the flip side of Mayor Eric Adams. They may have other strengths, but both have treated Puerto Ricans with institutional negligence or outright near contempt. Some of our progressive friends were silent during the Cuomo administration because they too realized that Hochul had done little for the Puerto Rican community and did not want to make disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo looks good. Some even had the audacity to try to sell us, Cynthia Nixon, during her gubernatorial race as a champion of the Puerto Rican people. We have not heard from her since.  Sanganos. How many Puerto Ricans have been appointed at managerial levels in the Hochul administration?  In a community that resided in New York for over 124 years? Are we to assume that because she was not Governor at the time, but Lt. Governor during the Cuomo administration, she gets a free pass for all those years she was wallowing in institutional neglect of the million Puerto Ricans in her state? Most likely Hochul will be elected and the slew of Puerto Rican apologists in our community will seek to explain to us how we have indeed been “truly blessed.” Or they will remind us it could have been worse with Lee Zeldin?  But as the old refrain says “mas saber el diablo viejo, por viejo que por diablo.” (“An old devil knows more from being old than from being the Devil”) Some of us who have been around the block a few times understand the difference between “pandering” and authentic leadership committed to a noble people. In Gov. Hochul, we have the pandering politician. Can she change, doubt it, but time will tell.

Mixed Colors Silence is what I am about to speak. Who would have thought it would be me to turn the other cheek and keep my mouth closed; I even shut my eyes and with my two fingers in my ears, I could not silence the demise. The statement to bring tree lynching back by Paul Sherrell was noted in Tennessee recently. I wept and I wanted to keep crying; keep crying until the end of time, watering my decomposed corpse so that new life would spring forth. A new era. A life that does not see color; a life that thrives off the land and grows where it is allowed. I may have said too much or not enough. You let me know when to shut up because if silence is what I speak, trying to make a message out of this mess, a testimony out of this test. The situation is critical. I want to cry and keep crying until I can feel like the whole of Niagara Falls is cascading tears insomuch that I could ride the tide, I mean the wave, I mean plunge to my death: no, that is natural. But neither is hanging from a tree! But the silence that I do not speak, keeping a close watch on what I post – as if making sure that when I leave out the door each day, there is not a single strain of hair out of place, seemingly unbothered, neutral, and liked. When I woke up… I could not believe that this happened! I felt like I was kept in a cocoon for 44 years. I was oblivious or unnoticing, detached, waking up to a nightmare. People have done things longer than my ancestors for 400 years.  I am so mixed; I want to know who they all are. I was pointed in a direction – the direction of keeping silent to protect this body, the shell that also embodies the nature spirit of God. Each of us is capable. Some animals eat each other. We eat each other in different ways! Creeping, stepping, and stomping on each other’s bodies. What is left are sweet bitter remnants. Sweet bitter remnants of nothing now back to the point of this mixed poetic paragraph. I wish that I could dig my feet so deep into the ground that my heels become planted, my toes burrow into the dirt and my Roots begin to grow. They grow past where I am planted to the core of the Earth Yes, I said it! I want my roots to remain; we all do. Everyone talks about the future. Everyone talks about Justice. Rights and wrongs in the stories of people on the news. What is the truth about humankind? We do not love ourselves because if we loved ourselves, we would not be fighting over color or race and ethnicity. I am not against pride and who you are! Well, our pride began to stumble, and then muzzle and later strangle one another. Shoot shots to kill another that could have been your brother, sister, mother, aunt, or friend… the list goes on but what needs pondering is the real future? Are we willing to give up our existence for that fight?
