» In Polarized #Texas, Rare Agreement: #Hispanic Mother, Melissa Lucio, Should Not Be Executed - The New York Times nytimes.com/2022/04/22/us/…
Lucio’s case has brought Democratic and Republican lawmakers together in mutual outcry.
Scores of legislators have called for clemency or at least a reprieve, including those who are ordinarily vigorous backers of the death penalty.

Lucio struggled to provide for her large family. At the time of Mariah’s death, she was pregnant with twins and already had 12 children.
She had part-time work as a home health aide, her lawyers said, but struggled with drug addiction and often relied on soup kitchens for food.

Thank you for your patience! We are live! #ImmunoEquity is starting now! 
#ImmunoEquity we are recentering on all #MarginalizedGeneders and how the #Intersection of #Gender and #Race affect these demographics. 1/
#ImmunoEquity we have seen some increases in white and Asian women, but not in #Hispanic, #Black, or #Native women over the last 15 years and how intersectionality plays in this -Dr. @LabFairfax 2/
We are so proud of receiving the Health and Science Award by @NCDiamanteInc Our success is rooted in being an interdisciplinary network that started meeting on March 18, 2020 to respond to the pandemic @GabrielaPedsMD @vivimbmd @ISLA_NC @DurhamPublicSch
and went on to appear on many networks, facebook live, radio, and youtube sessions to inform the community in Spanish how to stay safe from #COVID19 @Duke_FamMed @dukeobgyn @DrBevGray @DukeHealth @StethoscopeOn
Our biggest success is rooted in uniting clinicians, health departments, health systems and government together with the community in safe conversations to improve health. La importancia de identidad y dignidad
@kdurquiza is not alone. We're a growing movement and have already had the enormous honor and privilege to sponsor multiple #HonestObit -- obituaries that call out politicians for the needless death of loved ones.
@itsmefi wrote this #HonestObit for her mom, "Isabelle was a giant, powerful in her kindness. Like thousands of others...she should still be alive today. Her undeserving death is due to the carelessness of politicians who undervalue healthcare workers..." markedbycovid.com/2020/07/12/hon…
The Rangel family from the Rio Grande Valley wrote for their father, "The family blames his death on the deliberate neglect of the #Hispanic community by @realDonaldTrump and @GregAbbott_TX" #Texas #COVID19

Some quick thoughts:
US construction is male & white; leading to systemic & intergenerational siphoning of contracts, social relationships & $$$$
Diversity & anti-racist policies need to implemented in bidding & contractors

Dear #poverty scholars, it is time for a reckoning. It is long overdue. #Discrimination, #structuralinequality & the lived experiences of the poor is not a tangent, it is core to "mainstream" poverty scholarship.
@nyuwagner L. Mead’s @springerpub Society paper "Poverty & Culture" perpetuates inaccuracies, ideologies & power imbalances that distract productive discourse & policy innovation. This treatise insults poverty scholarship; no matter political leaning. (see more from @lennan77)
It needs to stop. Stop blaming the poor. Stop assuming that history & context do not matter. Stop unfounded explanations such as “culture.” Stop ignoring the developmental needs of children & the nurturing of families.
As poverty & social policy scholars, what can we do?

So a black 12 year old playing with a toy gun gets mowed down by police in a park in seconds no questions asked, but a white guy and his wife point a military rifle and a gun at folks walking down the street you get to threaten them?
How many black and brown folk can sit on their porch pointing guns at passersby without swat coming in and taking them out?

Especially now as we fight the #pandemic is not the time to make sweeping, detrimental policy changes. Yet the Alexander-Walden-Pallone plan for out-of-network bills AKA “#surprisebills” is being considered. The proposal is deeply flawed. Here’s why:

"As of Monday, Hispanic and Latino residents made up 54% of all COVID-19 hospitalizations in the Prince William Health District, or 144 of the 269 hospitalizations reported, even though they make up only 26% of the area’s total population."

We've got to look out for all members of the 1st District. We can't forget about our brothers and sisters in the Latino community. This campaign is about ensuring the Hispanic and Latino members of Virginia's 1st District are heard.
