While breast cancer is the second-leading type of cancer death among U.S. women, Latinas are about 30% more likely to die from it than non-Hispanic White women. There are several factors that play into these statistics, which can include:
🗣️ The language gap
📄 Lack of health insurance
🍲 Diet and lifestyle
These barriers can also be compounded by racism and discrimination, which is why in-language, local education and outreach should be a central solution to increasing awareness and encouraging prevention.
Aunque el cáncer de mama es la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer entre las mujeres en Estados Unidos, las latinas son casi 30% más propensas a fallecer por esta causa que las mujeres blancas no hispanas. Hay varios factores influyentes como:
🗣️ La falta de dominio del inglés
📄 No tener de seguro médico
🍲 La dieta y el estilo de vida
Además, estas barreras pueden ser agravadas por el racismo y la discriminacion por lo que la educación y trabajo comunitario en español es clave para aumentar la concientización y promover la prevención.

Every form of representation matters for our community because it acknowledges that we are an important part of American society. It also shows young, impressionable minds that they can and should dream big. The fact that the U.S. Mint selected two incredible Latinas as part of its Women’s Quarter Program is a prime example. The 2023 release includes a Texas-born suffragist and civil rights leader who set the groundwork for women’s and Latino rights during the early 1900s. Next year’s release will include an incandescent Afro-Cuban immigrant turned naturalized citizen who inspired and empowered the Latino community with her singular voice and charisma.
Cada forma de representación es esencial para nuestra comunidad porque reconoce que somos una parte importante de la sociedad estadounidense. También muestra a las mentes jóvenes e impresionables que pueden y deben soñar en grande. El hecho de que la Casa de la Moneda de EE. UU. haya seleccionado a dos latinas increíbles como parte de su Women's Quarter Program es un excelente ejemplo. El lanzamiento de 2023 incluye a una sufragista y líder de derechos civiles nacida en Texas que sentó las bases para los derechos de las mujeres y los latinos a principios del siglo XX. El lanzamiento del próximo año incluirá a una incandescente inmigrante afrocubana convertida en ciudadana naturalizada que inspiró y empoderó a la comunidad latina con su singular voz y carisma.

September 28 is International Day for Universal Access to Information.

Information = power. So, why is it important for people to have access to information? Because informed citizens can make informed decisions, engage in Democratic government, and increase transparency - which aids citizens in having access to knowledge about how they are being governed, by whom, and holding them accountable.

Universal access to information means everyone has a right to seek, receive, and impart knowledge, an integral part of our inherent right to freedom of expression.

This year's theme is the importance of the online space for Access to Information. There will be discussions about the role governments play, how to secure the proper functioning of the internet and addressing the need for international cooperation to strengthen access to information.

or
El 28 de septiembre es el Día Internacional del Acceso Universal a la Información.

Información = poder. Entonces, ¿por qué es importante que las personas tengan acceso a la información? Porque los ciudadanos informados pueden tomar decisiones informadas, participar en gobiernos demócratas y aumentar la transparencia, lo que ayuda a los ciudadanos a tener acceso a conocimientos sobre cómo los gobiernan, quién los gobierna y a exigirles responsabilidad.

El acceso universal a la información significa que todos tienen derecho a buscar, recibir e impartir conocimientos, una parte integral de nuestro derecho inherente a la libertad de expresión.

El tema de este año es la importancia del espacio en línea para el Acceso a la Información. Habrá debates sobre el papel que desempeñan los gobiernos, cómo asegurar el funcionamiento adecuado de Internet y cómo abordar la necesidad de cooperación internacional para fortalecer el acceso a la información.

Every year, the first Sunday after Labor Day is Grandparents Day– a day to celebrate the special relationship with our parents’ parents. Latino grandparents or abuelos usually hold a special place in our lives and upbringings. According to the Hispanic Research Center, one out of 7 Hispanic kids lived with a grandparent in 2019. More than a quarter of Latinos (26%) lived in multigenerational households in 2021, double than White multigenerational households (13%).

Do you still have your abuelos? Did you grow up with them? Tell us about your abuelos in the comments.

The wage gap negatively impacts working mothers of all backgrounds, professions, and types of employment. So much so that August 15 represents how long it would take for mothers’ wages to “catch up” to fathers’ previous 12-month earnings. This costs mothers tens of thousands of dollars each year— Latina moms alone lose an average of $37,000.

We can fix this largely by creating and implementing policies that protect mothers and families like:
💵 Advancing equal pay
🤲 Providing paid family leave
📚Offering high-quality childcare

Follow and to learn more about how they are shedding light on and working toward solutions to address the critical issues women, mothers, and families face, like the wage gap.

When it comes to mental health, Latinos experience unique challenges that can keep them from accessing the care and assistance they need. Beyond the stigma surrounding mental health and the language and financial barriers for appropriate treatment, there are several layers of trauma that include immigration, acculturation, cultural and generational beliefs. This is why understanding and promoting self-care as a starting point to focus on mental health is an important first step. How do you self-care? Contrary to what we see on social media, self-care doesn’t require a spa or a visit to the nail salon.

Self-care can be as simple as allowing yourself to feel your emotions instead of pushing them back. It can mean learning how to create and enforce healthy boundaries in your life. It can be allowing yourself to be curious about what really makes you happy and exploring it. Or, it can be learning to take up the space you deserve in different aspects of your life where you’ve been playing small. Do you practice self-care and what does it look like for you?

Nelson Mandela’s relentless pursuit of justice over inequality, compassion over dehumanization, and forgiveness over hatred indisputably made him one of the most important figures of the 20th Century. However, that prominence doesn’t come without controversy. During , Cuba participated in the fight for South African freedom not once but twice in 1976 and 1988. Following his release from Robben Island, one of Nelson Mandela's first overseas trips was to Cuba, where he met with Fidel Castro, considered a heroic figure of liberation by numerous Black South Africans. This move received backlash from the anti-Castro faction in the United States. Of his ties to Castro and Cuba and the criticism it generated, Mandela said: “We are now being advised about Cuba by people who have supported the apartheid regime these last 40 years. No honorable man or woman could ever accept advice from people who never cared for us at the most difficult times.” In hindsight, it is easy to look back and condemn apartheid’s systemic racism and oppression, yet it’s important to also give proper context to the realities of that time. While Mandela was and may continue to be judged for his Cuban ties, it cannot and does not diminish his leadership and role in bringing democracy and reconciliation to South Africa over 30 years ago. Today Mandela would have been 105 years old, and the Nelson Mandela Foundation instituted a decade ago to celebrate his birth. This year’s call to action is to help end hunger and mitigate climate change by planting 1 million trees across the globe.

Emojis have become a ubiquitous and essential tool for expressing emotion, adding nuance to messages, and oftentimes replacing language all together.

Equine culture has played an important role in Latino communities for centuries as a symbol of pride and identity throughout the region. Latinos’ rich cultural connection to horses ranges from transportation and agricultural needs to sports and even warfare. South America is home to four breeds whose origins can be traced back to equines brought by Spaniards to the Americans in the 16th Century: the Criollo, the Peruvian Horse, the Paso Fino and the Mangalarga Marchador. 🐎
