WELCOME TO DATOS 2020 "SRP is proud to have been a founding partner and investor in the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s market intelligence efforts. Today, this work is more important than ever to integrate into our small businesses’ recovery strategies that drive our state’s economy. Congratulations to the AZHCC on the 24th anniversary release of DATOS." –MIKE HUMMEL, General Manager and CEO, Salt River Project.

24TH ANNUAL DATOS This year, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (AZHCC) focuses on Latinos and education in our annual DATOS: The State of Arizona’s Hispanic Market report through the lens of our adapted framework. The 24th annual edition of DATOS includes its usual comprehensive collection of data under the theme: “Elements of a Healthy Community.” This ongoing approach is inspired by our partnership with Vitalyst Health Foundation, which is committed to “connect, support and inform efforts to improve the health of individuals and communities in Arizona.” The elements are inspired by the work of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Everyone deserves an opportunity to live in a safe and healthy environment and a critical measure of a community’s health is education. However, there are many other factors at play. These “elements” run the gamut from affordable housing to community safety, economic opportunity, health care, environmental quality, food affordability, community design, parks and recreation, social/cultural cohesion, social justice, transportation, and, yes, access to education. Presented together, you can envision how the health of a community is shaped by addressing, or failing to address, one or more of these vital elements. Yet, our motivation for publishing DATOS for almost one quarter of a century remains the same. As in years past, our talented team of researchers, writers, interns, and editors behind DATOS have documented and interpreted the implications of the major market trends in Arizona’s increasingly diverse and shifting demographics. We do this work because it is important for Arizona to be aware of the contributions that Latinos make to the state and its economy. Thank you again for joining us to mark the 24th anniversary of DATOS: The State of Arizona’s Hispanic Market. Enjoy the virtual conference!

EDITOR'S LETTER THE 24TH EDITION OF DATOS: RELEVANT INFORMATION FOR TURBULENT TIMES It is my pleasure to share with you the 24th edition of DATOS: The State of Arizona’s Hispanic Market. As the most comprehensive compilation of secondary research regarding Arizona’s Hispanic consumers, DATOS demonstrates the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s commitment to providing timely and valuable information on the economic impact of Arizona’s Latinx community. We are navigating a pandemic unlike anything we have seen in the last 100 years. It is negatively affecting the health of our community, the education of our children, and the strength of our economy in ways still not fully understood. At the same time, we are seeing a surge in public unrest across social, economic, and racial lines. With these issues as the backdrop, we also are in the middle of a U.S. presidential election with a highly divided electorate. Arizona is one of the top five states with eligible Latino voters and we also are one of the states identified as a swing state that could change the results of the election. A new poll sponsored by Arizona State University suggests that a growing, mature, and more educated Latino population could well emerge as a powerful voting bloc in the 2020 election. If you are eligible to vote, now is time to let your voice be heard. People and businesses alike are desperate for effective solutions from our leaders that address the issues of diversity, inclusion, economic stability, and political equity. I believe the insights provided by DATOS can help business and public policy leaders craft solutions and recognize the importance of the Latinx community, which constitutes a third of Arizona’s population, as they plot a path forward for our collective future. To lend a hand to small businesses in crisis, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce created the Small Business SUCCESS Grants in April. You can learn more about this program on p. 58. This publication and the important narrative it tells would not be possible without the help of our incredibly talented and dedicated staff, interns, and DATOS Committee. These subject matter experts and professionals make this publication reliable, responsible, and relevant. I am honored by the passion, energy, and insight they bring to DATOS. It has been a blessing and my great pleasure to serve as the DATOS editor for the past nine years. The information provided in this 2020 edition feels even more relevant and critical to the future of our communities, businesses, economy, and state. The knowledge it contains can help small businesses recover from these turbulent times and pivot toward greater success. It can help educators adapt to new learning paradigms that benefit the next generation of leaders. And, finally, it can guide our policymakers as they enact new laws that balance the needs of all the people of Arizona. Thank you all for continuing to embrace DATOS and what it represents: a key information resource to help strengthen our communities, our businesses, and our state. Abrazos,

PARTNERSHIP • Resources here Given how often data ends up challenging conventional wisdom, it’s almost funny how surprising an accumulation of facts and framing can be. This has held true with Hispanics and DATOS and it similarly applies to health. Conventional thinking holds that health is the product of health care, subject to the influence of genes and personal choice. But the data tell a different story. The consensus finding of the World Health Organization (WHO) is that health care represents only about 10-20 percent of overall health. The science of epigenetics is clarifying that genetic profiles actually do not predetermine our individual fates. Meanwhile, public health officials worldwide agree that the choices we make are predicated by the choices we have. In other words, health goes beyond health care. Health is everywhere – shaped by the contexts in which we live, work, learn and play. Many of health’s data experts assert that the strongest predictor of health and well-being is not your genetic code, but rather your zip code. In fact, conditions in neighborhoods separated by just a 10-20 minute drive in Phoenix have the capacity to affect life expectancy by up to 10-14 years. Phoenix is not an anomaly. Cities all over the U.S. share similar profiles.

We are humbled to be partnered with the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in order to more thoroughly understand what this approach can mean for the well-being of Hispanics. Part of the DATOS mission is to align perceptions of Arizona Hispanics with a data-based reality. Vitalyst’s Live Well Arizona goal is to realign perceptions with the facts as well – and to capitalize on that new understanding with cross-sector investments of time, talent and treasure that can propel Arizona to a more equitable, healthier future.

These facts are not just attention-getting, they are also perception-shifting and empowering. They tell us that we have new options to improve health and well-being. We can call upon partnership with sectors like food, housing or transportation. We can delve into the health impacts of education and economic opportunity. We can extend ourselves toward impacting the visceral effect that social factors like isolation or toxic stress have on health. We can study how all of these factors are rooted by the cross-cutting issues of equity and resilience. We can use that knowledge to collaborate and integrate efforts among and across sectors. In so doing, we can be more powerful, more effective and more impactful in improving community health and well-being.

When it comes to honoring the Hispanic community’s unique assets and strengths within this new health paradigm, we couldn’t be more grateful to partner with DATOS. Here’s to a future of working together to improve community health and well-being for us all.

The Elements of a Healthy Community wheel was designed and produced by Vitalyst Health Foundation in collaboration with community partners. The elements are inspired by the work of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To learn more, please visit VitalystHealth.org

POPULATION What is the Current State of Affairs in Arizona?

Community capacity for vibrancy varies widely in Arizona, as it does across the United States. Here is a sample of current issues and disparities Arizonans are facing: • 35.1% of people living in urban areas have low access to healthy food.7 • Statewide, 12.4% of individuals are considered food insecure.8 • Low-income individuals spend 58% of their income on transportation, on average, with higher percentages spent in rural areas.9 • In 2016, motor vehicle crashes caused dramatically more deaths than violent crime.10 • Arizona is the 9th most dangerous state for people walking in the U.S.11 • In Arizona, 45% of rented homes are rented at 30% or more of household income.12 • Homelessness in Arizona increased almost 10% from 2017 to 2018.13 • One in four adults in the state meet physical activity guidelines.14 • Only 21.9% of Arizonans report conversing with their neighbors; such conversation is used as an indicator to measure social cohesion within communities.15 Additionally, when examining disparities in Arizona, communities of color, low-income communities, rural and tribal populations, and other groups that have traditionally been marginalized experience increased risks, worse outcomes, and greater barriers in accessing resources: • In Arizona, the poverty rate of American Indians/Alaska Natives is 34%,19% for Hispanic or Latino individuals, and 19% for Black or African Americans. Meanwhile, the poverty rate for White (not Hispanic or Latino) individuals is 9%.16

POPULATION

• The poverty rate in rural Arizona is 26.9%, compared with 13.4% in urban areas of the state.17 • People of color are far less likely to build generational wealth through access to home ownership than their White counterparts. 18 • 73% of extremely low-income, 34% of very low-income, and 7% of low-income Arizona households spent more than half their income on housing.19

The Price of Breaking New Ground It is important to note that, by choosing to pursue the topic of “Creating Vibrant Communities,” Arizona Town Hall has opted to explore important work that is nonetheless relatively new. It is emergent in three key ways: 1. Cross-sector collaboration focused at the community level has not been a standard practice historically. Case studies are not abundant, and most examples are more regionally located in larger population areas. 2. While 14 elements are recognized as key, not all of them have deep wells of data, research, or crosscollaborative experience in Arizona. Some of the key elements also lack clear champions in the state. As such, this report includes chapters with more developed elements and others discussed much less. 3. Research and data collection are at early stages. While work is aggressively being done in the areas of research and data, no widely accepted measure of vibrancy has yet been adopted. Further, key qualitative data and case study results demonstrate the efficacy and importance of this work, but the list of data gaps at the zip-code level is long. In short, being early means being patient. It also means accepting what we have as compelling emergent evidence and using that evidence to develop vibrant communities robustly and consistently for all in Arizona. It should also be noted that “element overlap” occurs frequently in this report. Housing and education are discussed in the food chapter for example. Equity and Economic Opportunity do not have separate chapters. Instead racial inequity and income statistics are found in multiple chapters. This is not a mistake. It is a key reminder of the interdependent nature of these elements. Over time, it is important to have more such data overlap, not less. For many chapters, you will find a short sidebar noting these interdependencies that are currently most often recognized.

Arizona continues to lead the nation in population growth, with an estimated 300 people moving to the state every day; growing with it, Arizona’s Hispanic population currently estimated to be 2.2 million. The 2020 Census will measure Arizona’s growth since 2010 and important demographic information about our population, but the 2020 Census is also more than just a simple count. The decennial census guides the distribution of trillions in federal funding, determines political representation and guides business and policy decisions for the next decade.

This is great news for Arizona. It’s estimated that $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to states annually based on census counts. That’s more than $3,000 per person every year that supports the services we all count on, like healthcare, education, affordable housing, nutrition programs, transportation infrastructure and more. Arizona’s congressional representation and state and local political boundaries will also be determined by the census, and we’re on track for a 10th congressional seat. It’s critical that Arizona’s population and the characteristics of each community are accurately reflected in this process. Further, census data will help business and policy leaders plan for the next decade, including integration into reports like DATOS.

Last year, Governor Ducey established the inaugural Arizona Complete Count Committee (AZCCC) to lead the state’s 2020 Census outreach efforts and promote participation in every community. This diverse group of Arizonans implemented a comprehensive statewide campaign to promote participation in the census with a focus on reaching traditionally undercounted communities. Community-driven outreach combined with a robust media campaign across all 15 counties in English and Spanish supported Arizona’s census count and helped us overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2020 Census matters and we’re on track for a complete count in Arizona. Our communities came together in 2020 to make this decennial census the most collaborative and community-driven count of Arizona’s population in decades. Democrats and Republicans, different faith and ethnic backgrounds, rural, tribal and urban residents and others unified around a common goal of a complete count in the 2020 Census Count and Arizonans will benefit from this collaboration for the next decade. ¡Todos los Arizonenses Cuentan! Every Arizonan Counts!

Today, 99.7%* of households in Arizona have been counted and Arizona’s self-response rate stands at 63.9%*, exceeding the final rates from 2010 (61.3%) and 2000 (63%). The efforts of the AZCCC, the U.S. Census Bureau, local governments, community organizations and Arizona’s philanthropic community made a difference. Arizona is on track for its most complete count in decades, despite the unprecedented challenges we faced this year. DATO S

REST IN PEACE

RONNIE LOPEZ 3.6.47 – 8.23.20

We have received the very sad news that our dear friend, Ronnie Lopez, passed away recently. He has been a good friend to the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (AZHCC) for as long as we can remember. He has been recognized multiple times for his tireless work empowering and supporting Hispanic-owned businesses and entrepreneurs. In 2008, AZHCC awarded him the Legacy Award during our 50th Black &White Ball to recognize him for being an outstanding leader and mentor for our community. At AZHCC, we see our team as familia. We work day in and out to help small businesses in our community prosper and grow. “Ronnie was one of the founders of Chicanos Por La Causa and also served as Gov. Babbitt’s chief of staff, where he was instrumental in helping appoint many Hispanics to serve on commissions and boards in the State of Arizona,” says Tony Astorga, campaign and foundation chair of the AZHCC Foundation Corp. “I have very fond memories of our friendship. My prayers and deepest sympathies go out to Angie and his family and all who knew him. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy and spirit of service will live on.” “He was a friend of the chamber and fierce advocate for the economic empowerment of the Hispanic community,” says Miguel Bravo, chairman of the AZHCC board of directors. “Ronnie was deeply proud of his roots, and loved Arizona and our Latino community. He generously shared his life and wisdom to make our community stronger. For this and countless more reasons, Ronnie’s legacy will echo for many future generations.” Ronnie was loved by many. He was truly an advocate and voice for the Latino community and social justice. He gave so much and expected nothing in return. We send our deepest condolences to his wife, Angie, and son, Marcos Antonio Lopez.

—MONICA VILLALOBOS AZHCC President & CEO

UNDERCOUNTING IS UNDERREPRESENTATION

ABOUT THE CENSUS At press time, the 2020 U.S. Census deadline had been extended to Saturday, Oct. 31, although the Trump Administration was attempting to get the Supreme Court to block the extension order. The 2020 census is a decennial census (officially called the Census of Population and Housing), which is one that happens every 10 years to count the population of the United States to determine how many representatives each state will have in Congress. The Census Bureau also manages many other surveys that provide valuable information on a variety of subjects that include education, health care, crime, housing, employment and government spending.

The pursuit of low-income housing is a byproduct of urbanization in conjunction with a capitalistic society that dictates all intersections of life within America. Colonias, according to the dictionary definition, are defined by a poor quality, nearly nonexistent infrastructure, and are rural, unincorporated settlements composed predominantly of persons who identify as Mexican or Mexican American along the U.S. and Mexican border. They are located in each U.S. state that shares a border with Mexico: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Colonias were established initially because of labor proximity: Farm laborers lived within these rural subdivisions to be closer to the agrarian sector. In the 1950s, population surges and metropolitan growth displaced many Latinos who could no longer keep up with the high costs of the urban housing market. This growth caused many individuals to migrate to more rural communities cut off from basic infrastructure that provides common municipal services.

Along the U.S.–Mexico border, some land developers have used this displacement to exploit low-income individuals who lack documentation status and have no established credit or access to formal financing. The locale was the main determinant for these developers, who used the peri-urban landscape to operate invisibly under the radar, ultimately making it easier to undermine existing institutional land market regulations and housing production.

speak Spanish and many lack documentation, they are reluctant to fill out the census because they lack the knowledge about what is the reason for the census and how it is ultimately intended to bring in more revenue and resources to their communities. Sadly, community members in colonias continuously fight to obtain the basic amenities that the census could help provide, by offering an opportunity to redistribute more than $675 billion into these communities to build roads and bridges, and hospitals and health care clinics that have never existed in some of these areas.

In 1994, a cost analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas concluded that in Texas border counties such as Starr, Maverick and Hidalgo, per capita annual incomes were very low, ranging from $5,559 to $8,899. Since the 1950s, these counties have been dotted with hybrid homes that combine both RVs and trailer homes, shacks, stucco structures and those made of brick and cinder blocks. Many poor residents had to settle for plots of land located on floodplains or agriculturally depleted land that often lacked basic necessities such as “potable water, septic or sewer systems, electricity, paved roads, or safe and sanitary housing,” according to the Texas Secretary of State during the 84th Regular Legislative Session.

Work to improve these areas has been stunted since the importance and focus of colonias has slowly diminished over time. One major problem for the colonias is that they are often hard to locate because they are considered unincorporated and don’t show up on most geographic information systems. This problem, in turn, causes undercounting during the census, which leads to stunted political representation and funding. In addition, since most residents only

COVID-19 AND THE ECONOMY BY LUIS CORDOVA

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly all aspects of normal life. It is a global health crisis that also has created an unprecedented economic crisis. The sudden halt of economic activity and travel has had a devastating impact on the nation’s economy—leading to layoffs, furloughs and unemployment that is reaching levels not seen since the Great Depression.

That rise was due to the large government transfer payments associated with the federal government’s stimulus bill designed to soften the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The full extent of the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic is still uncertain due to the rapidly changing circumstances. The recovery depends on how long containment measures last, as well as when effective treatments/ immunizations are developed. However, as of September 2020, an economic recovery has been slowly gaining momentum.

Arizona’s economy also was experiencing strong growth through 2019. The Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) reported an annual employment growth of 2.5%, ranking Arizona fourth in the nation for employment growth. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Arizona ranked third in the nation for population growth in 2019, growing 1.5% from 2018 to 2019.

ARIZONA ECONOMY

Thus far, Arizona’s economy has fared better than the nation as a whole during the COVID-19 recession. Between February and April 2020, Arizona lost approximately 294,600 jobs (9.9%) while the U.S. saw declines of about 22.2 million jobs (14.5%), according to the BLS. While nearly every industry saw declines in April of this year, the leisure and hospitality industry in Arizona has been the hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis, as global travel has come to a near halt.

U.S. ECONOMY Through 2019, the U.S. economy was performing at high levels. In 2019, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew 2.3%, continuing the trend of positive annual GDP growth since 2010. The U.S. labor market also reported strong growth, adding 2.1 million jobs between 2018 and 2019, a 1.4% increase. National unemployment was 3.5%, the lowest rate since 1969, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Since hitting the bottom, however, Arizona has replaced 47.8% of the jobs lost. In comparison, the U.S. has replaced 41.7% of the jobs lost through July 2020. The unemployment rate in Arizona has dropped from a high of 13.4% in April to 10.6% as of July 2020. Unfortunately, though, it is still well above the preCOVID unemployment rate of 4.5% in February 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought this growth to a screeching halt. According to the BLS, between March and April 2020, national unemployment rose from 4.4% to 14.7%, as 22.2 million jobs were lost (a 14.5% decline) from March to April. The BEA estimated a 38% decline in GDP in the second quarter of 2020. This is the largest quarterly decline since the Great Depression. By comparison, the worst quarter for GDP decline during the financial crisis of 2008 was an 8.4% drop.

REFERENCES COVID-19 RELATED EVICTION AND FORECLOSURE ORDERS/GUIDANCE 50-STATE TRACKER

The decline in GDP was driven by sharp declines in personal consumption, exports, inventories and investment/spending by state and local governments. Personal income, however, soared 29% during the second quarter of 2020, according to the BEA.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Looking past 2022, Arizona’s economic growth will outpace growth at the national level. The state should see strong job, population and income growth once the COVID-19 crisis is behind us. A focus on high-wage job creation, public infrastructure investment, higher education investment and keeping the state’s tax structure and regulatory environment competitive will help put Arizona in a better position than other states, and will help reduce the state’s income gap compared to the rest of the nation.

Looking to the future, the long-term outlook remains optimistic while the short-term outlook is uncertain, mostly because it depends on virus mitigation efforts. Because of the widespread job losses, there will be a rise in evictions and foreclosures, although there have been some measures put in place at the state and federal level to temporarily suspend evictions and foreclosures. While Arizona’s outlook partly depends on the performance of the U.S., the state’s recovery is expected to be stronger than the nation as a whole. Arizona’s employment level is projected to return to its pre-COVID high by mid- to late 2021. The U.S. is projected to return to its pre-COVID employment levels by between late 2021 and mid 2022.

CULTURAL RESILIENCE: A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL

DEFINITIONS • LATINX

Generally used as a gender-neutral term for Latin Americans, but it has been especially embraced by members of the Latin LGBTQ communities as a word to identify themselves as people of Latin descent possessing a gender identity outside the male/female binary.

BY ARISBE T H VALENZUEL A AND K AREN MURPH Y

Resiliency requires learning and adaptation to have a transformative outcome. Bouncing back and forth are two disjointed concepts that holistically encompass the overall process.

• WOMXN

Used by some feminists, especially in the intersectional feminist movement. One of several alternate spellings of the word “woman” that is considered more inclusive than other options.

Cultural resilience allows people to overcome adversity through a collectivized sociocultural lens. Those who identify as Latinx continuously face adversity within the business sector. Within Arizona alone, for example, there are 500,000 small businesses, and 25% of them are Hispanic owned—and nearly half of those businesses are owned by womxn. Income levels also show the discrepancies and adversity faced by minority local business owners: Minority-owned businesses make an average annual revenue of $110,000, whereas non-minority-owned businesses make upwards of $500,000 yearly.

Cultural resilience is not embodied through individualism, but is rather being accepted by small business owners as mutual aid and support to keep each other afloat. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a direct impact on the stability of all small businesses. Approximately 51% percent of Latinx and Black business owners have requested temporary funding with a low request of $20,000; only 12% of those who submitted requests were approved for federal funding.

REFERENCES

The Cultivo Market in Phoenix, a summer pop-up mercado series, is one concept being tried to foster cultural resilience. Its goal is to support local Latinx businesses and foster the camaraderie that is needed to combat the isolation the pandemic has caused. It is a good example of rethinking established business models to adapt to current conditions.

PROMOTING RESILIENCE IN LATINO/A YOUTH: AN EXAMINATION OF RESILIENCE RESEARCH AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES OF U.S.-BORN LATINO/A YOUTH

In a highly digitalized world, many businesses have had to revolutionize their marketing strategies and have taken to social media to create an interconnected sector that is fostering cultural resilience. The individuals who have created these networks understand that in the current racially divisive climate, community and culture are what will keep many of these businesses functional and sustainable.

USMCA: BRINGING NORTH AMERICAN TRADE INTO THE 21ST CENTURY BY GLENN WILLIAMSON, HONORARY CONSUL OF CANADA On July 1, 2020, I raised a symbolic toast to celebrate the “birth” of the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) with a Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye (a Canadian whiskey), Herradura Ultra (a Mexican tequila) and an O.H.S.O. 89Ale (a U.S. craft brew). On the surface, USMCA updates and replaces the 27-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was written for the analog age. In the new reality of our crazy world, USMCA represents so much more.

and Arizona will absolutely flourish under the new USMCA. As CEO and Founder of the Canada Arizona Business Council (CABC), I am bullish on USMCA. Why? Because Arizona is the nexus of USMCA and the reason is location, location, location. Canadians are the #1 source of FDI in Arizona. Canadians own nearly 500 companies with an Arizona presence and Canadians are the largest international employer within Arizona. Additionally, they spend a whopping $2.4 billion as tourists and snowbirds each year. Our proximity to Mexico has made Arizona a “corporate beachhead” for Canadian expansion into Mexico in mining, agriculture, aerospace and automotive. Historically, Canadians have come to Arizona for the weather but, fortunately, Canadians often end up staying and expanding their presence because of the business climate. Our pre-COVID commercial air “lift” was a spectacular 209 flights per week between Arizona and Canada. Canada is the #1 international air feeder for Arizona and it’s worth noting that Canadian landings at Scottsdale Airport represent 87% of the international arrivals.

USMCA has created a true North American Bloc: 500 million consumers with regional solidarity and global influence in trade, culture, foreign direct investment (FDI), tourism, education and innovation. It is the new template for updating global trade agreements. Locally, Arizona expanded and benefited under NAFTA

U S M C A : B R I N G I N G N O R T H A M E R I C A N T R A D E I N T O T H E 2 1 ST C E N T U R Y intensive manufactured goods. North America is nearing energy self-sufficiency and soon will outpace consumption to become net exporters.

As I was writing this article, I received a call from a CABC member who owns a highly specialized construction company with a substantial presence in Canada and Arizona. This CEO told me their business is up 30% from April, but that their supply chain from China is in disarray. He is looking seriously to Sonora, Mexico, for production of the specialized parts he needs. In fact, he has already begun his due diligence to move his manufacturing “home” to North America.

• The U.S. has long been a net creator of intellectual property (IP). USMCA strengthens IP rights and their enforcement worldwide, which is a strong plus for all North American companies. USMCA establishes stronger trademark protections, with criminal penalties and protections to thwart the stealing of trade secrets, procedures to combat cyber theft and patent protections. All of these safeguards create an environment where businesses and investors feel safer about investing time, resources and development money because they know their IP will not be stolen or copied.

Through the lens of the COVID crisis and the current U.S. political climate, I know that Chinese companies are reading the writing on the wall. They realize they need to base their manufacturing in North America to reach North American consumers. The Arizona–Sonora Corridor is uniquely qualified for these relocations. Arizona–Sonora is a U.S.–Mexico border location with an extensive infrastructure, port of entry wait times that average minutes (vs. hours for crossing at ports in Texas) and rapid access to America’s trade corridor that originates in Arizona.

• Each year, more than 400,000 trucks pass through the Port of Nogales carrying produce from Mexico to the U.S. and Canada. Arizona’s Yuma region fills the “winter salad bowl” for the much of the U.S. and Canada. The Nogales–Mariposa crossing, which connects Arizona State Route 189 in Nogales with Mexican Federal Highway 15 is the largest produce port in North America. Its technology is cutting edge in food safety, national security and facilitating time-sensitive crossing for perishables. The USMCA agreement enhances the movement of agricultural products between the three North American countries.

The June 2020 U.S. Commerce data for Arizona trade confirms that recovery or stabilization is beginning to happen in defense, automotive, aerospace and mining after the spring COVID disruptions. Total trade with Mexico in June reached $1.37 billion, which is roughly the monthly average of the previous 12 months. These numbers demonstrate the remarkable resiliency of the Arizona–Mexico trade relationship. Approximately 228,000 jobs currently depend on USMCA and I fully expect that number to increase—and likely double—within 10 years. The global business landscape is going to realign regionally. North America will lead the charge for nearshoring with this trifecta response: Canadian investment and innovation; Arizona’s renowned pro-business environment, educated work force and geography; and Mexico’s labor and manufacturing prowess.

Now North America must set the bar and tone for the new global business order. USMCA has affirmed a unified trading region that could lead the world. I am both excited and proud to be a USMCA player.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS:

ENSURING SMALL BUSINESS SUCCESS THE AZHCC HAS HELPED A NUMBER OF LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES STAY AFLOAT DURING THESE TRYING TIMES WITH ITS SMALL BUSINESS SUCCESS GRANTS After almost five years of continued economic growth, 2020 began on a positive note. According to a CNBC article online, unemployment was “at a roughly 50-year low in February.” In March, everything changed when COVID-19 caused the world to almost stop turning and the word unprecedented found its way into almost every newscast. The U.S. loss a record 20 million jobs in April and unemployment soared to levels unseen since the Great Depression. It was the worst of times.

TESTIMONIALS “The relief these grants will provide will have a far-reaching impact on not only the recipients but on their landlords, suppliers and business partners. This will help keep our local community strong to weather this storm.”

–Alex Montero Montero Insurance LLC Independent agent/owner with Robertson Ryan & Associates Scottsdale, AZ WATCH THE VIDEO

When unprecedented events like the COVID-19 pandemic happen, large corporations often have many more resources at their fingertips to weather an extended financial crisis. Small, minority-owned businesses, however, usually don’t. Most cannot afford to take on additional loans to keep operating or wait for aid to come from the federal government. In Arizona, there are more than 500,000 small businesses, of which 125,000 are Hispanic-owned—and more than half of those businesses are owned by Latinas.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtiF97Tn3Zw

Faced with this crisis, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, which was founded in 1948 to be an advocate for Hispanic business owners and consumers statewide, knew that there was no time to waste to get help for the state’s most vulnerable small business owners.

“This grant from the AZHCC has been a true blessing for our small business, our family, and our employees. So far we have been able to navigate through this difficult time and keep providing for our employees.”

In April, the AZHCC quickly launched the Small Business SUCCESS grants with $100,000 in original seed money from several partners: APS, U.S. Bank and the Raza Development Fund. The grants were designed to get funds directly into the hands of small and micro businesses. They were distributed on a rolling basis, with a maximum of $1,000 a week for six weeks for each business until the funds run out. In just two weeks, the AZHCC distributed the funds to more than 65 small businesses, the majority of which have been in business for seven years, each with annual revenues of approximately $176,000.

“…we are now able to continue to pay our bills…. The chamber of commerce has [helped] to boost the businesses in our community [with] the resources they have been able to provide. This is an incredible above-and-beyond gift for us and the community, and it is coming at the perfect time.”

According to Monica Villalobos, AZHCC president and CEO, the goal was to create a “safety net” for businesses and their employees that would be in addition to any federal stimulus money or Small Business Administration loans the businesses might get.

THE ARIZONA MARKET Minority businesses in Arizona are growing at a rate of 3X faster than other firms. Ninety-eight percent of all jobs come from small businesses in AZ. Between 2007 and 2012, all AZ firms only grew by 2% ...BUT Minority-owned firms grew 60% Hispanic-owned firms grew 70% Latina-owned firms grew 116% Minority-owned firms make roughly $110K in average annual revenue. Non-minority owned firms make, on average, $500K in annual revenue. Because minority-owned businesses have not scaled to parity with non-minority-owned companies, there are many very small to micro businesses unable to stay in business during the COVID-19 crisis. According to JP Morgan Chase Institute, 50 percent of small businesses only have two weeks of “float” or a cash buffer.

keep the economy going during the most difficult of times,” says Villalobos. This program is meant to be a bridge to low-interest loan opportunities, helping business owners avoid predatory lending options in a time of desperation, keeping their businesses viable with funding and support services.”

Since creating the funding program in April, the AZHCC has added two more partners: Wells Fargo and Comerica Bank—and increased the total funding to date to $185,000. “We understand that small businesses are the backbone of a thriving economy,” says Joe Trimble, Wells Fargo small business leader. “We saw the devastating hardships those businesses were facing and we wanted to help. During these challenging times, it’s critical we join arms, unite and help support our small businesses and the communities they serve. It is an honor to be able to collaborate with the AZHCC and the other organizations to help serve our state and our communities. We are in this together and we will get through this together.”

The Raza Development Fund operates the technology platform designed to maximize the output and expedite the disbursement of funds. The process is a simple one: Small business owners complete a brief application form that includes questions about their business demographics, weekly gross payroll and average annual revenue. Once the application is reviewed, the funds can be distributed within just a few days.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLOSING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE HOW A PATENT TROLL COULD STOP ALL PROGRESS TOWARD INTERNET FOR ALL The coronavirus pandemic has reminded everyone of the tremendous negative cost of the digital divide for Hispanic communities in Arizona. To date, some public–private initiatives have emerged to try to help close the gap.

ConnectED, for example, is an Obama-era initiative that provides financial support, equipment, wireless infrastructure upgrades, software donations and professional development workshops in Phoenix and other U.S. cities. Despite its efforts, the divide along ethnic and socio-economic lines persists. While Phoenix is among the most connected cities in Arizona, there are still parts of the city termed “digital deserts” that are overwhelmingly Hispanic and where digital access is practically nonexistent. Similar de facto digital disparities also are evident in Tucson and throughout the state.

Education is just one segment of daily life where internet access and mobile devices are critical lifelines for many during the current pandemic. This type of access is also crucial for people who have health care issues or need to work remotely. The lack of connectivity is exacerbating disadvantages within low-income communities and underscores the need to eliminate the digital divide as quickly as possible.

FOREIGN PATENT TROLL WANTS U.S. TRADE AGENCY TO BAN ALL SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS

Hispanics make up a third of the Arizona’s population, and Hispanicowned businesses are a key part of the state’s economy. The state’s economic vitality and competitiveness depend on how quickly these Hispanic-owned businesses can fully access and use the latest mobile technology to reach customers, streamline point-of-sale processes, manage inventory, fulfill orders, and customize products and services. And the more often Hispanic seniors, veterans and others who live far from health clinics and hospitals can use mobile devices to manage medical conditions and check in with their care providers, the healthier Arizona will be, which will in turn help lower health care costs in the state.

In these recent cases, Neodron is using a handful of touchscreen patents to sue Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Dell, Microsoft, Motorola and others who manufacture the vast majority of the smartphones, tablets, and touchscreen laptops we all rely on. These complex products may integrate more than 250,000 separate patents per device. If the ITC finds that even one patent was infringed—no matter how marginal the technology the patent covers—the ITC’s remedy would be to issue a ban on that product, which could block access to roughly 90 percent of the smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices commonly used to access the internet.

Banning these smartphones and tablets at a time when we are trying to connect more Hispanic communities obviously would be reckless and incredibly invasive. Just consider this one fact: Smartphones are indispensable in homes that lack internet access. In fact, about 25% of Hispanics depend on their smartphone as their only way to access the internet. To fight back against companies like Neodron, Arizona State Sen. Eddie Farnsworth (District 12) sponsored The Patent Troll Prevention Act (HB 2386).

Performance on Education Issues (prior to COVID-19) 5. Leaders in Education Support

This report is a summary of a recent study for the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce DATOS Research assessing Arizona’s education needs and concerns. WestGroup Research conducted a combined telephone and online survey of 441 randomly chosen Arizona residents from March 24 to April 14, 2020 asking them about the following topics: 1. COVID-19 related concerns on education 2. Non-COVID-19 related concerns on education 3. Importance of key educational issues 4. Progress in addressing the key educational issues 5. Top-of-mind awareness of Arizona education leaders

STUDY HIGHLIGHTS

Arizonans greatest concerns regarding the impact of COVID-19 on education include schools being closed and feelings of inadequacy in how students, teachers, and parents are responding to this crisis. For example, residents feeling students will not be adequately prepared for the next school year (14%) as well as a decline in the quality of education (11%), especially due to teachers learning to teach online and parents trying to home-school.

In 2018, DATOS began using the Vitalyst “Elements of a Healthy Community” model to provide an overall perspective of where Arizona should focus improvement efforts. For the 2020 report, the Hispanic Chamber is taking a deeper look at one of these 12 key elements to a heathy community - “Educational Opportunities.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Issues related to funding are top non-COVID concerns. Top education concerns include lack of financial support, low teacher pay, and the overall lack of quality education. Issues that were less of a concern are large classes (5%), teacher shortage (5%), hard to get good teachers (5%), and lack of resources (3%).

Study Highlights Conclusions/Recommendations

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The majority of Arizona residents (over six in 10) agree that taking care of teachers and creating the best environment for them is extremely important for improving education. Once teachers are taken care of, residents believe that reducing dropout rates and increasing education support for low income, minority, special education and other groups, are priorities, with roughly half of those interviewed rating these issues “9” or “10” in importance.

Considering that education is consistently considered one of the top issues facing Arizona, there is no individual, organization or company standing out as a high profile leader. This remains a significant opportunity to fill.

CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

This survey took place between March 24 and April 14, 2020. The initial statewide school closure, which was announced by Governor Ducey on March 15, was scheduled to last from March 16 through March 27. The governor then extended the closures through April 10. On March 30, he ordered the schools closed through the end of the school year.

1. What are your greatest concerns regarding the impact of COVID-19 on education in Arizona?

SUMMARY This question was used to determine top-of-mind concerns about the impact of the COVID-19 shutdown of schools on education in Arizona. All Arizona schools were ordered to shut down beginning on March 16, 2020, and the survey began on March 24, 2020.

1. Educators, parents, and students need help playing catch up – Rapidly trying to fill the enormous education gap created by the COVID-19 shutdown has created strong feelings of inadequacy by and from educators, parents, and students especially in the areas of:

Education is interrupted – Schools being closed and the implications of those closures, e.g., students falling behind, concerns about the quality of education kids will get while away from the classroom, access to technology, and teachers, parents and students not being prepared for online learning, are top concerns among Arizona residents.

• Helping parents home school their children. • Helping teachers learn how to teach online. • Providing online learning resources or technology to those most in need.The challenge is that some of these needs are likely to change and require adjusting as the new school year approaches.

Inadequacy – Parents have a strong feeling that the children’s education is being negatively affected due to an underlying feeling of inadequacy. Since no one could anticipate or prepare for the school shutdowns, the education system was scrambling to “educate on the fly.” Most acknowledge the difficulties associated with trying to finish the school year under such unusual circumstances, but the concerns seem to be driven by feelings of inadequacy at various levels:

2. Arizona residents link education funding with quality of education -- Lack of financial support, low teacher pay, and lack of quality education top respondents’ list of the most important (non-COVID-19 related) education issues facing Arizona. 3. While progress has been made in boosting teacher pay, this remains a critical issue in the minds of a majority of Arizona residents -- With budget shortfalls almost certain to occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, funding for teacher salaries as well as other education needs, is likely to suffer again.

• The children will not be adequately prepared for next year. • Parents feel inadequate trying to home school their students. • Teachers do not seem to be adequately prepared to teach online.

4. Among the eight issues examined, the biggest opportunities for improvement include lowering student/teacher ratios in the classroom, reducing the dropout rate, and increasing education

Clearly, this is not applicable to all children, parents and teachers, but they do represent need areas. The key is to catching up with the education gap created by shutdown is to address those inadequacies.

• Technology is also a concern among Arizona residents, with 6% saying they worry about the lack of technology/ computers/internet for kids and the same number saying they’re concerned about teachers learning how to teach online.

RESULTS

• The highest concern about education in Arizona regarding the impact of COVID-19 is the schools being closed at 27%.

• Missing graduation and parents being ill equipped to home school their children are listed as top concerns, both at around 5% and 4%.

• Arizonans are also thinking about the future during this time. The second highest concern is that students won’t be ready for next school year at 14%. As might be expected, parents (of children under 18) are significantly more concerned than non-parents that their students will fall behind / not be ready for the next school year – 21% and 9%, respectively.

• Those not having any concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on education in Arizona are at 14%.

By taking just one 5 or 6-week course at a time, you can focus on every assignment, skill and victory — up until you reach the big one: graduation. 0ST\ RTWJ )T RTWJ | UMTJSN] JIZ

READ ON ARIZONA DATA TOOLS HELP ADVANCE EARLY LITERACY IN COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT ARIZONA Born of momentum building around early literacy, Read On Arizona’s data integration partners continue to lead the way in developing tools to improve early literacy throughout the state. The need for improved data integration was one of four key challenges identified in Read On Arizona’s initial 10-year strategic plan in 2013. Since then, access to early literacy data has advanced dramatically as Read On Arizona partners developed a suite of online tools that leverage shared data, including MapLIT.

MapLIT was developed with initial support from the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust and strategic collaboration among several state and regional agencies, universities, and philanthropic and education partners. The tool makes data easily accessible through search features for and visualizations of the state’s datasets.

MapLIT is a powerful interactive mapping tool that provides users with statewide early literacy data and visualizations. This “one-stop” resource launched in 2015 provides communities with geographic views of select data for all Arizona public and charter elementary schools and preschool locations. Statistical analysis of this data has produced practical findings, including the correlation between higher rates of chronic school absences (>18 days) and lower third-grade reading scores.

MAPLIT DATA (BY SCHOOL, DISTRICT, COUNTY)

“MapLIT was designed to facilitate data sharing, identify gaps and support ongoing improvements in early literacy,” says Arizona Literacy Director Terri Clark. “Its purpose is to help communities, school districts and other organizations make real-time, evidencebased decisions on how best to allocate their limited resources to improve outcomes for all children.”

CASE STUDY

EDUCATIONAL DISPARITIES: THE CREATION OF THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA

There is a trilateral force in society that moves the social rhythm: individual agency, institutional power and economic stability. Within this triangle, it is often said that no individual can consciously grasp all three things; two can be secured while the third often becomes inaccessible. Every choice made consciously or indirectly will most likely follow this model.

The school-to-prison pipeline is the result of zero tolerance policies that actively criminalize students for minor school violations. The ideological backings of these policies began in the1980s when children of color were perceived as violent predators, a concept that society then internalized. Instead of providing students with additional educational or counseling services to discredit this idea and help low-income students succeed, some schools used isolation, suspensions and expulsions as punitive discipline measures.

The bounds of education can be inequitable for those who come from racially or economically diverse backgrounds who don’t have access to any of these concepts. The American achievement model is a derivative of this notion backed by the concept that the combination of hard work and education are a gateway to social mobility. This model, however, neglects the external intersections of life, such as race, gender, geographic upbringing or socio-economic background. The middle and upper classes have developed an ideology that is fundamentally backed by their privilege and ultimately frames this model as a method of motivation. In reality, though, it acts as a physical and psychological barrier for those who reside in a lower class.

Inadequate resource allocation at Title 1 schools is where the pipeline begins to form. Underfunded schools are overcrowded and often lack qualified educators and learning materials. In these instances, when students who lack economic stability

REFERENCES FRONTLINE: PRISON STATE | SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE

Enculturation and environmental factors dramatically impact the way individuals adapt and develop within educational systems. Title 1 schools—those with at least 40 percent of their students from low-income homes—often use their resources to simply enforce and teach authority. Students at schools in wealthy communities, on the other hand, are more likely to be exposed to teaching methodologies that expand beyond simple regurgitation of information to explore and encourage creative thought. These different approaches to education are detrimental to those in the lower class and place them at a great disadvantage post-graduation—if they even get that far. In fact, this inequality often culminates in the creation of the school-to-prison pipeline that plagues low-income schools whose students are mainly people of color.

School districts throughout the U.S. are listening to the activists and currently rethinking their contractual agreements with police officers on campus. Phoenix Union, a district known for its diverse student body, is one example of a school district that has used the momentum behind the BLM movement to remove entities that actively criminalize students in what should be a safe, nurturing learning environment. Other school districts have followed suit and are demanding institutional reform that deviates from active punishment. On the other side of this debate, both Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio favor keeping police in the schools, at least for now.

Some activists believe that ending the school-to-prison pipeline begins with removing police officers from schools.

Arizona Teachers Weigh in on Past and Future Impacts of COVID-19 Background

Expect More Arizona, in partnership with the Arizona State Board of Education, conducted a survey of K12 teachers to find out how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted teaching in spring 2020 and learn about their concerns for the upcoming school year. The goal was to hear from Arizona teachers in traditional public and charter schools about what’s worked, what hasn’t worked, and what advice teachers have for Arizona education policymakers. The anonymous responses will be shared in aggregate with the State Board of Education. Numerous Expect More Arizona partners helped get the survey out to teachers, including the Arizona Department of Education, Arizona Education Association, Arizona Charter School Association, Arizona School Administrators, and many other education organizations and school districts around the state. The response rate was overwhelming. Nearly 11,000 teachers from across the state completed the survey. We will be releasing data in phases, beginning with answers to important questions related to the start of the 2020-21 school year. Data is being analyzed by Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and Decision Center for Educational Excellence led by researchers Kristi Glassmeyer, Jeanne M. Powers, and Joe O’Reilly. We are especially grateful for their assistance.

PHOENIX COLLEGE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF COMMUNITY EDUCATION BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA AND KAREN MURPHY

Phoenix College, one of the oldest community colleges in the U.S., opened its doors on Sept. 13, 1920, with an initial class of 18 students. The college has come a long way in its 100 years, graduating more than 1 million students during its existence.

NOTABLE HISPANIC GRADUATES

The school’s non-segregation policy has always offered marginalized communities access to education, which has led to the school’s diverse, multicultural student body and recognition as a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI). A HSI is defined as an institution of higher education that:

• is an eligible institution; and • has an enrollment of undergraduate full-time equivalent students that is at least 25 percent Hispanic at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application. In 2020, the community college is the embodiment of educational diversity, equity and accessibility—and student enrollment has grown dramatically to almost 12,000.

Oscar De las salas (1990)

As the city of Phoenix has grown, so has the demand for an educated workforce like the graduates of Phoenix College, many of whom have gone on to become state and national leaders, corporate CEOs, and artists and entrepreneurs (see box at right).

Architect and Fashion Model

Other notable graduates include Kate Gallego (current Phoenix mayor since 2019), CeCe Peniston (American singer and former beauty queen), Jessica McDonald (American professional soccer player for the North Carolina Courage of the National Women's Soccer League) and Korva Coleman (National Public Radio newscaster).

Arizona's information technology employment opportunities currently are 15 percent above the national average. Within Maricopa County alone, there are at least 21 technology-based occupations that generate 8,750 new positions a year with 87,975 jobs already established. The Maricopa IT Institute, like Phoenix College was 100 years ago, will be a leading force in the local community, both economically and socially, for many years to come.

Maricopa IT Institute (ITI) at Phoenix College opened its doors on Sept. 18, 2020, to give students access to the high-quality educational programs that Phoenix College offers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). "The Maricopa IT Institute will support more than 30 certificate and degree programs in 11 different program areas that will meet workforce needs,” says Maria Reyes, Dean of Industry and Public Service at Phoenix College. “This will be a place where new, continuing or returning students can find and develop their IT skills and be readily employable."

ANGELICA CESAR: A PASSION FOR ADVOCACY BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA The path toward higher education can be much like the pathway to citizenship: It is often inaccessible for those from marginalized communities. Inaccessibility within the migratory sector is manifested by common misconceptions that do not delineate the fact that the so-called “line” is not available for current unauthorized immigrants or prospective immigrants who came into the country through unauthorized channels. Immigrants current have three routes to gain permanent or temporary status: employment, family reunification or humanitarian protection. These channels are highly regulated, so many applicants never qualify and never advance toward their goal of U.S. citizenship. Inaccessibility within education is seen through disproportionate resource allocation, social and cultural barriers, and documentation status.

a family are informed and up to date about available aid and reform resources through various workshops and forums. There also was continuous work to dispel the false narrative that all undocumented people come from Mexico and to also advocate for people of other races and ethnicities.

The two concepts are highly interconnected and salient when attempting to navigate life as part of a mixed status family. Angelica Cesar, a 2020 Arizona State University (ASU) graduate, is a prime example how these two concepts can affect educational mobility. Living in Arizona during the reign of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who continuously spewed anti-immigrant rhetoric to back up mass deportation raids, made Cesar painfully aware of the clear disconnect between the legal system and her community. That period of time also helped her recognize the power of advocacy, which led her to two degrees: in political science and transborder studies at ASU.

It was the ASU School of Politics and Global Studies, though, that helped her understand the complexities of institutional bureaucracy and how to navigate these often confusing spaces. The balance between these two disciplines helped shape her perspective and position within the political and educational sector.

As a first-generation student studying political science and navigating a predominantly white institution, Angelica often turned to ASU’s School of Transborder Studies within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for a sense of community. The school is the only one of its kind in the United States that, according to the school’s website, focuses on “the US–Mexico transborder region, as well as the Chicano/a/x and Latino/a/x populations across the US.” Its research projects and degree look at several key transborder issues: migration, health and applied social policy; media and expressive culture; culture, language and learning; and the U.S. and Mexican regional immigration policy and economy.

As someone who has vowed to dedicate her life to advocate on behalf of her community, Cesar’s journey continues. Her next big step? Going to law school. ¡Bravo!

During Cesar’s formative years at ASU, she worked with organizations such as Mi Familia Vota, which promotes social and economic justice through citizenship workshops, voter registration and voter participation, and UnidosUS (formerly the National Council of La Raza), which advocates for progressive public policy changes like immigration reform, a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and reduced deportations.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic swept the country and disproportionately impacted the Latino community and low-income families. Stay-at-home orders affected state economies and placed millions of people on unemployment. The pandemic magnified the inequities Latinos, people of color and low-income communities in the United States have struggled with for generations, such as lack of access to high-quality education, high-wage careers, affordable healthcare, quality social services, and an inability to acquire financial capital. As unemployment numbers continue to rise, the economic implications of the pandemic leave decision makers grappling with difficult choices on where to allocate dollars. In Arizona, where Latinos are one-third of the population, education must not be overlooked in the interventions planned to support the restoration and reimagination of communities, economies and institutions. As the state moves forward, it must design a system where the communities most impacted by inequity have a voice and where their perspectives and experiences are valued. State leaders need to prioritize and advance equity because the future of the state is intrinsically connected to the success of Latino students.

THE MISSION OF ALL IN EDUCATION IS TO ENSURE COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY EDUCATION INEQUITIES ARE THE ONES MAKING DECISIONS FOR ALL CHILDREN.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For far too long, well-meaning but uninformed decisions have been made on behalf of the Latino community without understanding and respecting the lived experiences of Latinos in leadership. The exclusion of Latino leaders from positions of influence and power in Arizona should be of grave concern to all communities. In Arizona, 46% of PK-12 students are Latino, but less than 10% of education-board appointees are Latino, including the Arizona State Board of Education, the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools, and the Arizona Board of Regents.

The lack of Latino representation in the state’s governing bodies for education is not reflective of the student population, and more importantly, has shown to be ineffective in helping Latino students increase achievement, graduate high school, obtain a college degree or postsecondary certificate, and earn a living-wage career.

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, ALL In Education launched the ALL In For Arizona’s Future Campaign in April 2020, to uplift the voices of Latino parents, families and educators and ensure the community would not be left behind during school closures. Too often, policy decisions and recommendations are made without listening to the communities most affected first. ALL In Education strives to model the importance of listening to key stakeholders before making recommendations. By being in direct conversation with Latino parents and families we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges Latino communities are facing so we can begin charting a way forward. The coronavirus pandemic greatly impacted the Latino community and forever changed education. As education is reimagined, Latino voices and leaders must be leveraged for their insight, lived experiences, wisdom and thought leadership. Significant opportunity exists to redesign Arizona and build towards a place where ALL communities have access to opportunity. Where no child is at risk of falling behind, where parents feel valued and supported and, most importantly, where ALL kids feel loved and honored in classrooms. Where every single attribute students bring to the table is an asset that is nurtured and developed so they can be our state’s future leaders.

IN MEMORIAM

REST IN PEACE

DOUG YONKO

The Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce mourns the loss of a great leader, friend, and executive board member, Doug Yonko. As the AZHCC past board chairman, Doug loved Arizona and was a true champion for the Latino community. Few people could navigate the diverse communities of Arizona in such authentic and effortless ways. Doug gave selflessly to make Arizona a better place and made an enormous impact by bringing people together to tackle tough issues with openness, gentleness, and humility. He worked hard to stop anti-immigrant legislation and stood against any form of bigotry and hate. We will miss his regular phone calls prompting us with calls to action on important issues. We are grateful for his decade-long board service and his dedication to promoting a culture of inclusion, excellence, and strategic action. He was a role model to many, a devoted mentor, and a loyal friend who generously shared his time and wisdom. His guidance and leadership will be deeply missed, but his legacy and spirit of service will live on. We extend our deepest condolences to Doug’s wife, Elisabeth, and his daughters and grandchildren.

THE ROAD TO 60% As an organization, Achieve60AZ exists to ensure that our postsecondary attainment goal that 60 percent of adults in Arizona have a credential by 2030, is at the top of mind for all, but particularly for leaders in our government, economic development, and educational spectrum. The Attainment State Platform communicates key areas of focus to aid in making thoughtful decisions toward moving in the direction of our big goal. The Attainment State Platform was released in 2018 after a comprehensive review of what works to increase attainment, based on research into the most promising practices, recent data, and conversations with those in leadership positions.

There are many ways Arizona can reach the 60 percent postsecondary attainment goal. Keeping at our current pace will largely see many of the same trends continue and could exacerbate attainment opportunity gaps. Widespread, “education for all” campaigns largely miss the mark at identifying and eliminating the barriers to education for individuals and specific race and ethnic groups. Essentially, providing the same structure for all doesn’t allow for adjustments that may be needed to address scenarios that are unique to communities of color or lower income communities. Following traditional piecemeal approaches alone cannot address the pervasive, systemic barriers that keep Black/African American, Native American, and Latinx people from reaching the same success in education and the workforce as their white neighbors. We need a new approach for Arizona that will create a different attainment narrative. We need this work to focus on equity — equity in opportunity, equity in access, and equity in success. We need to listen to these communities themselves to find out what is needed and how to get it. Eliminating postsecondary attainment opportunity gaps is just the start. Changes are needed at all levels. The power of a degree or credential is not within the piece of paper or in meeting a percentage, rather within its ability to open doors and make profound transformations across generations. In 2020, we know that the same postsecondary credential does not open the same doors to people of different skin colors, and that cannot continue if we are working toward a more thriving economy for all of Arizona. 60 PERCENT MEANS 60 PERCENT FOR EVERYONE In 2019, Achieve60AZ convened three groups in Arizona to consider the 60 percent attainment goal for communities where the greatest opportunity gaps exist. Over 140 community leaders came together to form the Black/African American, Latinx, and Tribal Nations & Communities attainment task forces. Each task force established community-specific goals and identified and prioritized strategies to close the attainment opportunity gaps. These recommendations were finalized through community conversations hosted by Achieve60AZ in 2020, to ensure the voices of even more people were included in this work overall. This is not a new idea. As other states have worked to increase their attainment rates, there is evidence that taking a laser focus on equity illuminates strategies that are critical to closing gaps. What was different in Arizona is that while this work was spurred by Achieve60AZ, it was led by the communities themselves. All three groups were facilitated from within their own membership. While the discussions and priorities of each task force were unique, the end result was the same: each group set ambitious goals to reach 60 percent attainment and identified the key strategies to close attainment gaps all together.

THE PROCESS The priority strategies that follow are the result of a two-year process to develop community-based approaches to eliminate postsecondary attainment opportunity gaps.

2018 • Achieve60AZ was awarded a grant from Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), with support from the Lumina Foundation, to study and develop equity-based attainment goals and strategies for Arizona. • Achieve60AZ held four roundtable discussions around the state to hear from communities about how they would create equity-based attainment goals and identify priority strategies.

2019 • Achieve60AZ took our 2019 State of Attainment Report on the road, meeting with community leaders in every Arizona county. We discussed the need for localized and equity-based goals as a means to drive meaningful action toward the 60 percent attainment goal.

2020 • Achieve60AZ Board of Directors met with community leaders and hosted equity-based group conversations to finalize draft of equity-based attainment goals and priority strategies.

2021

AND BEYOND • Achieve60AZ’s next large body of work will be to develop and implement an action plan around the goals and priority strategies of the task forces. To do this, Achieve60AZ is committed to bringing the three task forces together for action planning, community ownership, and identifying common strategies.

• Achieve60AZ convened three task forces for a monthly series of meetings to draft equity-based attainment goals and priority strategies.

THE OPPORTUNITY AHEAD ARIZONA PUBLIC EMPLOYER PILOT PROGRAM LEADS THE WAY State and local public institutions that are actively supporting attainment efforts often overlook a major way they can contribute – as employers. Public sector employees make up a significant percentage of the workforce in Arizona,16 but are not always considered in economic development and postsecondary attainment discussions. And employees who achieve higher levels of attainment are more valuable to their organizations.17 With support from Lumina Foundation, Achieve60AZ is working with state and local governments to design a new way to support adult learners through the Public Service Promise Project. The project aims to reimagine the way that education benefits — largely tuition reimbursement programs — are designed and implemented. This pilot policy will be tested as a new way for local public agencies to incentivize their employees to complete a postsecondary credential or degree. We are pleased to be working with a diverse group of committed community partners in this effort, including the Arizona Department of Administration and Arizona Department of Corrections; Coconino, Pima, and Yuma counties; the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, and Tucson; and Maricopa and Pima community college districts. While most employees surveyed (83.1%) agreed or strongly agreed that the pursuit of a postsecondary degree, certification or credential would help them reach their long-term goals and increase their earning capacity, current models for education assistance programs have low utilization and high hurdles to access. For example, employees are often required to complete confusing and cumbersome in-person paperwork, pre-pay tuition expenses without certainty they will be reimbursed, and maintain high GPAs. Funding is distributed to employees with the most flexibility and access to apply within their workday, so frontline workers and those who would often have the most to gain from these funds can have the most difficulty reaching them. Half of employees surveyed who do use their employer tuition benefits experienced major issues in doing so. The need for new policy design for education assistance is clear: • Based on economic projections, return on investment (ROI) is always positive for investment in public employee educational advancement. • A public investment of $1.2 million into employee education assistance results in a projected $7.3 million in productivity gains. These gains are either passed on to taxpayers as lower taxes or reinvested in higher-quality government services, creating real value for the taxpayer.18 Achieve60AZ will release more information soon on how cities, counties, and state agencies can redesign benefits to support the 60 percent attainment goal. In 2021, we look forward to sharing initial lessons learned from our pilot communities across Arizona.

WHERE CAN LOW-INCOME ARIZONA RESIDENTS CALL HOME? THERE IS A HUGE SHORTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN ARIZONA —AND STATE LEGISLATORS AT ALL LEVELS MUST ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM NOW BY LIZ SALAZAR

February 2020 seems like a lifetime ago. At that time, we were all enjoying the beautiful Arizona weather, the fever of the presidential primaries were upon us and the United States had just one death from COVID-19, a virus that seemed both foreign and serious, but not particularly threatening.

month. I even found a listing for a studio for $1,100. Yes, eleven hundred dollars. I was absolutely shocked. I eventually found my mom a place to live—and we signed the rental papers on the spot, even though when we first saw the place, the fire department was there for a gas leak. It was filthy from the firefighters’ boots, had no air conditioning and there were a lot of repairs needed. Still, we felt we had no other choice. It was the only affordable rental available in a 15-mile radius.

That month was also when my father finally sold his childhood home, a modest mid-century building just a few blocks from Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix. After more than a year of fielding calls from investors asking to buy it, the offer price kept going up and my dad ultimately couldn’t resist offloading this burdensome (albeit sentimental) money pit with bad plumbing, aging electrical work and a foundation that was holding on for dear life. The investor agreed to buy it for a hefty sum—sight unseen. It was, at this moment, when the affordable housing crisis and I became intimately acquainted.

So how did Arizona get ranked third worst in the nation for states with an affordable housing crisis? It started around the time my dad’s ill-fated childhood home was built—in the 1950s. The population of Arizona boomed during the 1950s and 1960s, as air-conditioned homes in a state with minimal pollution and no snow attracted newcomers from all over the country. This population surge resulted in an economy based on construction and development, which was fantastic…until it suddenly wasn’t. The Great Recession that started in 2007 ravaged Arizona. On average, homes in the Phoenix metro area lost 56% of their value and Arizona foreclosure filings jumped 203%. Out-of-state investors and private buyers were willing and able to weather the storm to reap rewards later. They took advantage of the dirtcheap home prices and bought up foreclosed properties en masse.

My mother was living in the house when it was unceremoniously sold to an unknown house flipper. It then became my job to find her a new place to live that was small, close to her work in West Phoenix and affordable for someone who makes a hair above $15 an hour. It proved to be nearly impossible. She’d lived in South Phoenix and Maryvale most of her life and wanted to remain there, so I naively thought it would be an easy enough task to find her a new home. It’s not like we were trying to get her an apartment in Tempe or a rental in a gentrified central Phoenix neighborhood. She wanted to live with her gente, in the neighborhoods she knew well, close to friends and family from the barrio.

The exodus of high-wage jobs combined with a lack of new housing and a boom of land speculation became the recipe for the housing crisis we’re experiencing today. Arizona is no longer the beacon of affordable living and clean air that drew so many Midwesterners to the Sonoran Desert 60 years ago. It’s quite the opposite. And, for Latinos, the issue is even more urgent.

I was surprised to find that Maryvale had zero (and I mean zero) affordable rentals available, including apartment complexes, so I started looking in South Phoenix. Even in the 85009 zip code, which has a median household income of about $30,000, I had a hard time finding a one-bedroom apartment for less than $900 a

WHERE CAN LOW-INCOME ARIZONA RESIDENTS CALL HOME? “The problem is that rents have become unaffordable across the country. Families paying half of their income on rent are making sacrifices to afford and keep their housing. These challenges make it even harder for Latinos to save and build assets, let alone manage everyday expenses,” says Agatha So, senior policy analyst for the Economic Policy Project at UnidosUS.

Latinos are more likely to work in jobs that have income predictability. They’re more likely to have multiple jobs, work in the gig economy and work in highly seasonal industries like hospitality and tourism. Unfortunately, we’ve seen this play out in real time since the start of the recession caused by COVID-19. In a poll released by UnidosUS in August of this year, 45 percent of Latinos in Arizona reported having lost a job. Of those who lost a job, 80 percent lost two or more jobs and 10 percent lost four jobs. No one can say we’re not trying.

The good news? We can fix this, but we must act now. We need state leaders at all levels to work together and address the affordable housing shortage. Mayor Kate Gallego’s Housing Phoenix Plan, for example, has nine policy recommendations, including the redevelopment of city-owned land with mixed-income housing. Other measures that could help ease the pain of the housing crisis include short-term rental regulations, inclusionary zoning and rent control. In addition, we also must roll back preemption legislation that ties the hands of local governments that want to address the crisis themselves rather than wait on the state or federal government to step in.

We have learned a painful lesson: The problems some of us have had the privilege to ignore have revealed themselves when disaster came knocking. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to have a laser focus on solutions moving forward. If we want everyone in Arizona to thrive, “the worst housing crises in the nation” can’t be the only list where we rank in the Top 10.

PROFILE

EQUAL. POWERFUL. UNSTOPPABLE. BY DEBBIE ESPARZA Since 1912, YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix has been on a mission to eliminate racism and empower women by promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Even after more than 100 years, there’s a lot more work to be done. Racism is not separate or distinct from the issues that affect Arizona. Racism is at the center of it all and has been a part of every social construct and system for more than 400 years. It’s systemic. It’s structural. It’s everywhere—and each of us can play a part to dismantle it. In addition to providing safe spaces to engage in courageous conversations about race, equity and inclusion, YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix offers direct services for women and people of color, to assist in dismantling injustice. We provide access to financial knowledge, nutritional meals and wellness checks for seniors in the Glendale area and hands-on training to negotiate for fair wages and working conditions. In Spring 2021, LAUNCH! will provide 9th and 10th grade girls of color an opportunity to discover their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) identity and see themselves pursuing higher education.

Systemic racism is intertwined in every aspect of our lives—housing, employment, health care, the justice system, childcare, finance and wealth creation, and education, just to name a few. And oppression is not just about race. It includes gender, age, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, citizenship/ immigration status and any other way systems can create barriers to entry. The YWCA has been working for policy changes to dismantle systemic oppression for years. We must work to end racial and religious profiling, support national legislation that addresses school discipline disparities, maternal health disparities, rights of incarcerated women who are pregnant and parenting, detained immigrant rights and voting rights.

Join us to get up and do the work until all injustice is rooted out, until all institutions are transformed and the world finally sees women and people of color as we do: EQUAL. POWERFUL. UNSTOPPABLE.

Debbie Esparza is the CEO of YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix.

YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix invites you to see the world through the lens of race and gender. In how many situations and systems have you seen and/or experienced racism? What can you do about it?

Listen, learn and engage in your community to make a change in your world. It all begins with your own ability and willingness to identify and reflect on individual biases, lived experiences and how we each show up. It is not work someone else can do; it requires each of us to get involved and it’s a journey.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY U.S. HISPANICS DRIVING HOMEOWNERSHIP

DRIVING DEMAND THROUGH HOUSEHOLD FORMATIONS

Over the past decade, Hispanics have accounted for 51.6 percent of the overall U.S. homeownership growth, adding 1.9 million new homeowners during that period.1

From 2009-2019, Hispanics accounted for 40.4 percent of the overall growth in household formations, having added over 4.3 million new households.5 Household formations are one of the key indicators for measuring homeownership demand.

HISPANIC HOMEOWNERSHIP

HIGHEST LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION

RATE INCREASE 2019

46.2 45.6 46.0

47.1 47.5

SOURCE: U.S. CENSUS BUREAU

In 2019, Hispanicsa achieved a net gain of 277,000 homeowners. This raised the Hispanic homeownership rate from 47.1 in 2018 to 47.5 in 2019. Last year also marked the fifth consecutive year of gains in the Hispanic homeownership rate, the longest period of consecutive increases since 2000.

Hispanics have the highest labor force participation of any demographic. At 66.8 percent, the Hispanic labor force participation rate is a full 3.4 percentage points above the labor force participation rate of the general population.6 Hispanics have had the highest labor force participation rate of any demographic for the past two decades.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH There are 4.9 million millennials with the credit characteristics to qualify for mortgages, many of whom are located in Texas. In 2018, the Houston market added the most Hispanic homeowners, and Texas benefited the most from Latino migration patterns adding a net increase of 102,000 Latinos.

HISPANICS ARE YOUNG With a median age of 29.5, Hispanics are 8.7 years younger than the general population.2 Hispanics also tend to purchase homes at a younger age. During the past year, roughly 40 percent of Hispanic homebuyers were under the age of 34. As with most populations, Hispanic homeownership rates increase with age. The Hispanic homeownership rate peaks between the ages of 66 and 70.3

FASTEST-GROWING POPULATION At 59.9 million, Hispanics are the second-largest ethnic group in the U.S. and make up 18.3 percent of the overall U.S. population. Hispanics are the fastest-growing demographic, accounting for 57.6 percent of the total U.S. population growth in the last year.4

LABOR SHORTAGE IN CONSTRUCTION Latinos and immigrants make up a disproportionately large number of the construction labor force. In 2018, the construction labor force consisted of 24.3 percent immigrants and 29.5 percent Hispanics, larger shares than any other demographic. The most acute labor shortages are in construction occupations where the share of both immigrants and Hispanic workers is most pronounced.7

HISPANIC SHARE OF HOUSING GDP Between 2000-2018, Hispanics more than tripled their contribution to the housing share of the GDP, increasing from $110 billion in 2000 to $371 billion in 2018.8 The growth in Hispanic housing contribution to GDP has significantly outpaced that of the overall market which doubled during that same time period. Since 2000, Hispanics have accounted for 12.3 percent of net housing GDP growth.

CONCLUSION An unyielding desire to own a piece of the American Dream is inherent in the fabric of the U.S. Latino community. Despite facing one of the most acute housing inventory shortages in history and a contraction of credit, Hispanics were the only demographic to increase their homeownership rate for the fifth consecutive year. Many of the most prevalent homeownership barriers Hispanics face are attributable to a single variable: Hispanics are young. Because credit scores, income, and household wealth all improve with age, the likelihood for continued Hispanic homeownership growth over the next five years remains strong. Clearly, 2020 will bring a new set of economic challenges as Americans confront a global public health pandemic and the associated economic consequences. This notwithstanding, it will be the Latino community’s youth, strong work ethic and desire for homeownership that will once again drive homeownership growth as the country rebounds from a post-pandemic economy.

a For clarification, the terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” are used interchangeably throughout this document to refer to people of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central American, South American, Dominican, Spanish descent, and descent from other Spanish-speaking countries.

CASE STUDY

CAN WE ELIMINATE FOOD DESERTS? BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA & KAREN MURPHY

The numbers are disturbing. According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s research, residents who live in Maricopa County’s 85262 zip code live an average of 13 years longer than those who live in the 85009 zip code. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

Until recently, Downtown Phoenix was considered one of those food deserts. For years, the neighborhood was not much more than a cluster of government buildings and a couple of sports stadiums. When Arizona State University (ASU) decided to open a downtown campus in 2006, the landscape slowly began to change. Fourteen years later, the neighborhood is home to a major university campus with more than 11,500 students, two professional sports teams, and many apartments and condos. Apparently, though, no urban planner ever thought about putting a grocery store in the area until a year ago when a Fry’s Food and Drug Store finally opened its doors at 100 E. Jefferson St.

Residents of 85262, which includes parts of North Scottsdale, Carefree and Camp Creek, have an average income of $119,498 and access to everything that constitutes the good life: beautiful housing, great health care facilities and all the grocery stores and other shopping they could ever need. In contrast, residents of 85009 in Phoenix, which is bounded by Thomas Rd. to the north and Broadway to the south, from 19th Ave. to roughly 43rd Ave., have a median income of just $30,760 and live in one of the 43 food deserts identified by the city of Phoenix. Many of these 85009 residents also would be considered food insecure. According to CensusReporter.com, the population of 85262 is approximately 88% white, while the population of 85009 is approximately 81% Hispanic.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought progress to reduce food insecurity and eliminate food deserts throughout the U.S. to a screeching halt. In April of this year, Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization, said an estimated $1.4 billion in additional resources, a 30% increase to the operating costs for its 200 member food banks nationwide, would be needed over the next six months to provide enough food for those struggling with hunger. The organization said that the perfect storm of “school closures, rising unemployment and rising poverty due to quarantine and stay-at-home orders will disproportionately impact people already at risk of hunger and could result in an estimated additional 17.1 million people experiencing food insecurity, an increase of 46%, based on projections using Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap data.”

Food insecurity is the other side of the food desert coin. Just because you have a McDonald’s or an Arby’s down the street or a joint where you can get a burrito as big as your head doesn’t mean that you are “food secure.” Food insecurity means being “without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food,” with the emphasis on nutritious and affordable. You live in a food desert if the nearest grocery store is more than a mile away. According to health.gov, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website, among Hispanic households in 2016, the prevalence of food insecurity was 18.5% compared to a national average of 12.3%.

Then a Forbes.com article on May 26, 2020, said that, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), around 11% of U.S. households in 2018 reported they were food insecure at some point. In April 2020, the percentage of food insecure households was estimated to have jumped up to between 22–38%.

Five years ago, the city of Phoenix committed to eliminating its food deserts by 2050 by increasing urban agriculture and establishing new farmers markets. An Arizona State University research study concluded that Phoenix actually could reach its goal by converting just 5 percent of its land mass into urban agriculture areas that could supply approximately 183,000 tons of fresh produce each year, which would cover 90 percent of the city’s annual consumption.

11 FACTS ABOUT FOOD DESERTS

In addition, in 2018, the city of Phoenix received a technical assistance grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Local Foods, Local Places program. With the grant and in partnership with the local community and institutional partners, a South Phoenix Food Action Plan was developed. Before the pandemic, The AZ Food & Farm Forum, a two-day conference for farmers, food entrepreneurs and local food advocates featuring networking sessions, a bus tour of South Phoenix and Laveen area farms, and instructional workshops had been scheduled for April 28–29, 2020. Unfortunately, the forum had to be postponed and, at press time, no new dates has been announced.

One other organization, Activate Food Arizona, also was working hard to help local communities improve access to healthy, affordable food. Its Farm Express fleet of mobile produce markets brought high-quality, affordable produce to Phoenix and Tempe residents. Since the pandemic, however, the group has had to temporarily stop its buses. The group is, however, offering prepackaged 15-lb. bags of produce to residents of some existing Farm Express community locations, specific senior living communities and other supportive housing facilities.

DEFINITIONS FOOD INSECURITY MEANS THAT HOUSEHOLDS WERE, AT TIMES, UNABLE TO ACQUIRE ADEQUATE FOOD FOR ONE OR MORE HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS BECAUSE THEY HAD INSUFFICIENT MONEY AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR FOOD. A MAJORITY OF FOOD-INSECURE HOUSEHOLDS— THOSE CLASSIFIED AS HAVING LOW FOOD SECURITY (BUT NOT VERY LOW FOOD SECURITY)— AVOIDED SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS OR DISRUPTIONS IN FOOD INTAKE, IN SOME CASES BY RELYING ON A FEW BASIC FOODS AND REDUCING VARIETY IN THEIR DIETS. VERY LOW FOOD SECURITY MEANS THAT HOUSEHOLDS WERE FOOD INSECURE TO THE EXTENT THAT EATING PATTERNS OF ONE OR MORE HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS WERE DISRUPTED AND THEIR FOOD INTAKE REDUCED, AT LEAST SOME TIME DURING THE YEAR, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AFFORD ENOUGH FOOD.

CASE STUDY

SOLVING THE LOCAL FOOD INSECURITY PROBLEM BY SOMLYNN RORIE

BUILDING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every part of our daily lives. Small urban farms and food service businesses have suffered tremendously. Many have lost most of their customer base and their distribution channels, which has forced them to quickly adopt new methods to stay afloat. Local restaurants and caterers are grappling with trying to keep their businesses above water and their employees safe, all while keeping their dining room doors shut. Meanwhile, many families across Phoenix are struggling to put healthy, nutritious meals on their tables.

To address this issue, the City of Phoenix partnered with Local First Arizona to develop a program that would positively help Phoenixbased farmers, food producers and the Phoenix community. The Feed Phoenix Initiative shifted a portion of the city’s CARES Act funding to subsidize a meal program that would support and sustain local food businesses and provide healthy meals to individuals in need during the pandemic. The initiative has united farmers, restaurants, caterers and mobile markets to provide high-quality, healthy meals to local vulnerable populations. Local First Arizona recruited small food businesses and executed the project’s vision: to create a pathway that sustains local jobs and supply chains, strengthens the local food economy and, most importantly, helps keep all Phoenicians healthy.

Food security in a community exists when all people, at all times, have both physical and economic access to fresh food that meets their dietary needs for productive and healthy lives. Our current economic and social crisis has revealed some serious issues with Phoenix’s fragile food system. Many Phoenicians, especially those within the most vulnerable populations, are currently experiencing limited access and availability of fresh, nutritious food during these difficult times.

“The Feed Phoenix Initiative is a great example of how to build a stronger local food system,” says Kimber Lanning, executive director

HOW IT WORKS STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

Food grown on urban farms in Phoenix is purchased and delivered to participating restaurants or directly to community centers as fresh produce boxes.

Participating Phoenix-owned restaurants and caterers incorporate locally grown produce into individually boxed meals.

Meals or food boxes are delivered to partnering institutions that serve vulnerable populations in Phoenix.

S OLV ING T HE L OCAL F OOD INSECURI T Y PROBLEM

THE FEED PHOENIX INITIATIVE HAS FORGED NEW RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LOCAL FARMS, RESTAURANTS AND FOOD SERVICE PRODUCERS THAT WILL LAST WELL BEYOND THE CURRENT CRISIS. of Local First Arizona. “When communities can lean on their local food supply they become more resilient, empowered and sustainable, especially during a disaster.”

“The fresh produce boxes help our community by allowing them access to fresh fruit and vegetables,” says Mallory Smith, food coordinator at Native Health. “This box is a burden off their shoulders and allows them to make nutritious meals for their families.”

The Feed Phoenix program began on Aug. 3, 2020. The more than 50 participating food service businesses are reimbursed for each meal they make, which currently is between 50 and 500 meals a week. Approximately 2,500 meals are delivered every week in compostable containers that include at least three locally sourced fruits or vegetables. For these businesses, the added income from the program has kept their lights on, employees paid and their communities wellfed. Many of these host sites have lost primary revenue streams like full-scale dine-in options and catering contracts. Some locally owned businesses that are part of the program include Los Compadres, Salvadoreño Restaurant, Sana Sana Foods, The Bread and Honey, La Olmeca, and Chino-Mex.

“The Feed Phoenix program connects the latent capacities in our local food system and enables farmers and food service professionals to get back to work and provide meaningful support for families impacted by COVID-19,” says Joseph Martinez, co-founder of Arizona Microgreens. The Feed Phoenix Initiative has forged new relationships between local farms, restaurants and food service producers that will last well beyond the current crisis. The program opened direct communication between these farms and restaurants and has created a bridge for restaurants to easily source locally grown produce. It is an important model that can be used by other Arizona cities to actively build a more resilient, sustainable food system.

The prepared boxed meals are distributed to partnering community institutions that already work with identified vulnerable populations, prioritizing senior citizens and children. These institutions include The Justa Center, AZ Kosher Pantry, Feed Phoenix Project, Mom’s Pantry and UMOM New Day Centers. As of September 2020, the program has distributed 13,221 meals and more than 700 fresh produce boxes to more than 9,000 individuals. The program’s goal is to provide more than 30,000 meals through the end of October 2020.

“Our inherent need to rely on each other for support is elevated in crisis,” Lanning says. “Feed Phoenix is a brilliant example by the City of Phoenix to leverage the resources we have to put people to work, feeding people in need.”

MORE INFO

For participating farms, the program has supplemented part of their business, helped maintain land and farm operation jobs, and prevented valuable and nutritious food from going to waste and rotting in their fields. The farms supplying fresh fruits and vegetables for Feed Phoenix include Al-Hamka Farm & Bakery, Arizona Microgreens, TigerMountain Foundation, Maya’s Farm, Project Roots, Abby Lee Farms, Diana Gregory Outreach Services and YoBro. These Phoenixbased farms offer a variety of produce that can be purchased in bulk and delivered to selected restaurants or in boxes directly to residents in need.

HELPING ARIZONA TO THRIVE BY PAT GRAHAM AND NICOLE HILL Five Arizona counties—Gila, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal and Yuma—are among the U.S. counties with the worst air quality in the nation, which could cost the state between $95 and $295 million annually in lost economic opportunity.

and organizations—to develop a path forward to achieve a healthy economy as we transition to clean air, clean energy and low carbon emissions. The Arizona Thrives program recognizes that the groups may have different opinions about how to proceed, but it also knows something else: If the groups work together, we can accomplish our shared goals faster and more economically than any one of the groups could do individually. There is no doubt that we need an integrated approach to solve the climate problems Arizona faces.

The other statistics are no better. Our cities also are among the hottest in the nation—and are projected to become much hotter as the climate warms. The number of days over 110 degrees is expected to double by 2060. The Colorado River is stretched well beyond its capacity to deliver water for the growing demand. A warming climate will reduce the local water supply even further. And the forests that sustain our largest renewable water supply are constantly at risk of catastrophic fire.

Pat Graham is the state director at The Nature Conservancy in Arizona, Phoenix. Nicole Hill is the Program Lead for Arizona Thrives, a program of The Nature Conservancy.

As Arizona navigates its path forward to rebuild the local economy, we must work together to ensure a more resilient and healthy future that benefits all residents, from urban to rural areas across the state. The state is well positioned to do so, but we must act now.

TACKLING THE CHALLENGE

AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION – STATE OF THE AIR REPORT CARD: ARIZONA

Many of the communities most affected by these changes unfortunately also are the least equipped to implement solutions. The good news is that there are many options for an affordable, reliable and equitable transition to an economy powered by clean energy. Lower costs for solar power and battery storage along with new technology to more efficiently manage energy use will make a difference. Increased affordability of electric- and hydrogen-powered vehicles will impact how we move. And companies investing in more efficient and sustainable buildings and business practices will influence where we live and work.

ACCESS TO CARE

COVID-19 IS NOT THE ONLY MAJOR CRISIS FACING THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY to an AAMC report. In fact, only 3.8% of doctors identified as Hispanic, Latino or of Spanish origin in 2019.

You would think that the COVID-19 pandemic, which is hitting Hispanic and Black communities particularly hard, would be enough bad news coming from the medical community. Think again. Report after report in recent years has offered the same alarming statistics about the state of health care in the United States. Consider these disturbing facts:

• Nearly 17 percent of Hispanic adults have diabetes, compared to 18 percent of Black and 9.6 percent of White adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hispanic adults also are about as likely as their Black peers to be obese and have uncontrolled high blood pressure.

• Nearly two in every five Arizona residents–about 2.8 million people–live in areas that the U.S. federal government says has a healthcare shortage. Arizona ranks No. 9 in the nation for the most healthcare provider shortage areas (HPSAs). In fact, 100% of the populations of Yuma and Santa Cruz counties live in a HPSA, according to research by the University of Arizona’s Rural Health Center. According to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the state needs more than 550 new practitioners in those areas before the designation is removed.

• Within the next decade, one in three active doctors in the U.S. will reach or exceed retirement age. One bill designed to address the doctor shortages—Arizona Senate Bill 1354—was proposed by Sen. Heather Carter (R-Cave Creek). Although it was overwhelmingly approved in the Senate by a vote of 29-2, Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, refused to hear it in the House Rules Committee when it moved to the Arizona House of Representatives.

• Arizona ranks 42th out of the 50 U.S. states for total active primary caregivers–with 77.9 per 100,000 residents. The only states that rank worse are Wyoming, Alabama, Oklahoma, Idaho, Texas, Nevada, Utah and Mississippi. In contrast, the U.S. overall has 91.7 caregivers per 100,000 population.

The bill, referred to as the Graduate Medical Information & Student Loan Repayment bill, would have appropriated $50 million from the state general fund to finance several initiatives, including crucial additional funds for graduate medical education (GME), which is essentially physician residency and fellowship programs, and

• The United States is expected to have a shortage of 46,900 to 121,900 physicians by 2032 in primary and specialty care, according to projections by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

Under the U.S. Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Congress capped the number of residents that would be paid for under direct GME funding—and nothing has changed to date. Unfortunately, Arizona also has not provided any funding to the GME program for nearly 10 years. An article in Chamber Business News online, offered a clear reason why Carter proposed the bill. In the article, she said that “University of Arizona’s Phoenix Medical Campus, which was built for 120 students, receives roughly 6,000 annual applicants but currently serves only 80 because of funding.”

Despite all the gloom and doom, it is not all bad news on the Arizona medical front. Creighton University, a Nebraska-based Jesuit university has broken ground on a $99 million medical school in Phoenix that will be located at Park Central (3121 N. 3rd Ave., between Thomas and Osborn). The new Phoenix facility is expected to open in the fall of 2021 with an estimated 900 students by 2024.

The university has also established a relationship with Brophy College Preparatory, a private Jesuit high school in Phoenix to hopefully encourage students to enroll at the medical school. Creighton is also negotiating with ASU to train its occupational and physical therapists and pharmacists. By 2024, according to Dean Robert Dunlay, Creighton’s campus will offer 22 residency/ fellowship programs and have about 300 residents.

The University of Arizona has also stepped up to change the narrative. UofA’s Colleges of Medicine in Tucson and Phoenix will use some funding from Arizona’s Fiscal Year 2020 budget to provide free tuition to students who agree to practice primary care in federally designated medically underserved communities in Arizona for at least two years post-residency. According to a press release from the UofA, about 100 students, or approximately 10 percent of the student body, could receive this benefit. One caveat: The commitment must be completed within 10 years of graduation.

ARIZONA LAWMAKERS TAKING ‘BIG, BOLD STEP’ TO ADDRESS HEATH CARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE

Another bright note came in April 2019 when Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed House Bill 2569 into law. The bill, which fulfills one of Ducey’s campaign promises, makes Arizona the first state in the nation to allow universal recognition for occupational licenses. In other words, it makes it easier for people licensed in other states to move to Arizona and easily get similar accreditation. The law applies to occupations as diverse as doctors, manicurists and building inspectors.

DEALING WITH DEMENTIA BY KATIE SKVARCE 40-year-old Ricardo Rosales is living the American dream. He moved to Arizona nine years ago after studying in Mexico City, and recently became the proud father of a son. “I’m a happy person and enjoy every day of my life,” says Rosales. Life, however, was not so beautiful five or six years ago. He started to noticed things weren’t quite right with his mother, Lupita. It was difficult to accept that his mom might have a serious medical issue that needed to be addressed. “One day, she was watering the plants when I left the house for a short period of time,” recalls Rosales. “When I returned home, she was not there. I searched every room of the house. Then I called my brothers and we started searching our neighborhood. We were scared and it was already late and dark.”

Lupita first received a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s in 2015. “It was very painful to see my mom fighting with us because she was so scared to go to the neurologist,” Rosales recalls. “It is very difficult to accept the diagnosis and acknowledge that your mom is not the same.”

Rosales says the family began showing Lupita’s photo to neighbors, and eventually found her sitting at a bus stop dehydrated, her feet swollen. When he took her to the doctor, he got the terrible news: Lupita had Alzheimer’s disease.

Lupita, who is now 69 years old and in the late stages of the disease, now lives with Rosales in Phoenix. “The most difficult part is that my mom can’t enjoy her grandkids,” says Rosales. “She always said that her grandkids are her light. She loved them very much.”

“We didn’t know about this disease,” Rosales admits. Dementia is an under-recognized public health crisis in Hispanic/ Latin American communities in the United States. According to Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures, an annual report released by the Alzheimer's Association, Hispanics are about 1.5 times more likely to develop dementia than non-Hispanic Whites. The reasons, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are numerous: a low socioeconomic status, a lot of cardiovascular disease in the community, and a higher prevalence of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and depression. Because Alzheimer’s disease is age related, adding to the issue is the fact that the CDC predicts that by 2060 the number of Latinos age 65 or older is expected to almost quadruple, to about 3.5 million.

Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease that takes a big toll on families—both at work and at home. Ricardo, like many family caregivers, made the choice to cut back on work to care for his mom. “I want to make her happy every day. I left my busy life to enjoy my mom,” he says. “I give her the best life possible. The moment when she needs to rest will come and she will be in better place. I have faith that I will see my mom healthy in heaven.” Although Alzheimer’s disease is a growing public health crisis nationwide, Arizona has the fastest growth rate of the disease in the country. There are 150,000 Arizonans currently living with 159

When you also consider that there are nearly 350,000 Arizonans who provide unpaid dementia care for family members, it is clear what an overwhelming disease it is for those who have it and the family members who care for them.

As a nation, it is critical that we address the care and support issues that accompany this disease. We must improve safety and quality of care for people living with cognitive impairment and, at the same time, find ways to take care of caregivers’ health and well-being. Rosales has turned to the Desert Southwest Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association for help in dealing with his mother’s disease. He uses the association’s 24-hour Helpline and their educational sessions for support. The association also offers free support groups and safety services for individuals living with dementia, their caregivers and their families to make it clear to them that they are not fighting this battle alone.

Federal Stimulus Survey Findings

Prepared by Global Strategy Group for Color of Change and UnidosUS

Key Findings • The economic damage is just beginning. Slightly more than 1 in 5 African American small business owners and just over 1 in 10 Latinx small business owners report temporarily closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. • And it will intensify as time goes on. Among those who are still open and operating, almost half expect to close within 6 months if conditions remain the same. • Business owners of color didn’t ask for much, but didn’t receive it either. A majority (51%) of Black and Latinx small business owners who sought assistance requested less than $20,000 in temporary funding from the federal government. Only about 1 in 10 (12%) received the assistance they requested. Almost two-thirds report they have either received no assistance (41%) or are still waiting to hear whether they will receive any federal help (21%). • Trump is judged harshly for his incompetence. Three-quarters (73%) of Black and Latinx business owners disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing handling the crisis. While there is plenty of blame to go around, of all the elected officials tested Trump is judged the most harshly.

COMMUNITY SAFETY

KARLA CHICUATE: A PASSION FOR WOMXN’S ADVOCACY BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA Karla Chicuate saw firsthand how the criminal justice system in the United States tends to sweep marginalized communities under the rug. Growing up in the community of Maryvale in the Phoenix metro area, Chicuate saw the daily hardships her neighbors endured. That experience showed her that there is a fundamental need for community advocacy to dismantle the oppressive conditioning that has led communities like Maryvale to be underfunded and underserved.

WHEN CHICUATE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO STUDY ABROAD IN GHANA, SHE GAINED FURTHER INSIGHT INTO HOW SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION DIRECTLY TRANSLATES INTO THE MECHANIZATION AND USE OF BODIES FOR LABOR AND SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. Violence against women, particularly low income women of color, is not a concept easily discussed. Abuse of power, abuse of womxn in vulnerable situations, forced labor and exploitation are all issues, however, that cannot be ignored. While the violence can take different forms internationally and domestically, it will become a vicious cycle of endless abuse if the womxn in these situations lose their personal autonomy because there is an unequal balance of power within the society where they live.

Chicuate is a current Arizona State University student. At the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, she struggled to navigate the criminal justice sector because of its heavy emphasis on the politicization of lives and the concept of enforcement versus reform. The concentration unfortunately seems to reflect the current climate on the streets of America. Entering the social work field to broaden her perspective fueled her passion for womxn’s advocacy. She soon realized, however, that womxn’s advocacy is often taboo within communities that are filled with domestic violence.

When Chicuate had the privilege to study abroad in Ghana, she gained further insight into how systematic oppression directly translates into the mechanization and use of bodies for labor and sexual exploitation. She used her background in domestic violence and sex trafficking to teach survivors in the local shelters and schools about the empowerment and acceptance that must be fostered for personal growth. During her journey through the system, one fact has become clear to Chicuate: For the current system to change, there must be a direct connection between law enforcement and social work. The cognitive dissonance commonly found between these two disciplines often leads to more harm than good.

Working with Survivor Link AmeriCorps for two years, Chicuate saw the obvious discrepancies that fuel social injustices. The Survivor Link program is designed to build networks of support by placing domestic violence advocates within communities while simultaneously enabling participants to help promote healthy relationships and reduce gender-based violence. For communities to thrive, there must be a push for continuous resource allocation—and Chicuate is at the forefront of that effort. Continuous community involvement allowed Chicuate to experience a personal revitalization. The constant barrage of viewpoints that did not align with her personal moral beliefs often caused her to have an internal battle.

“I tried to tear myself apart to fit in,” Chicuate says. “I let them speak for me. Being a part of the community and building from within allowed me to become more intersectional and to bring different conversations to the mix.”

CREATING MOMENTUM NEW REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN NOW UNDER DEVELOPMENT What transportation values are most important to Hispanic residents? Having a variety of options is one of the most important characteristics of theregion’s transportation system, according to Hispanic/Latino respondents during a recent transportation survey.

With a population expected to exceed 6.2 million by 2050, the transportation system plays a critical role in our economy and quality of life. The plan that MAG develops will need support from the region’s residents, who will decide at the ballot box whether to continue dedicated funding to implement the plan.

The “values mapping”research was conducted in advance of the most extensive transportation planning effort in 20 years, which is currently underway. More than 10,000 Valley residents were asked what they value mostand what their transportation priorities are for the greater Phoenix region.

The Plan will be based on six mission-critical goals. These goals place focus on safety, mobility, prosperity, responsiveness, livability, and preservation (maintaining the system we already have).

GOALS

Local governments have submitted hundreds of projects for early consideration. Projects and programs will undergo extensive screening and performance evaluation before identifying which priorities make it into the final plan. Scenarios will then be developed using different policy, funding, and what-if scenarios. It is a long and complex process, and public input is critical to developing this Plan. A draft Plan based on the feedback from the public and policy makers is expected to be completed by next summer.

OTHER FINDINGS Other transportation and quality-of-life priorities identified by Hispanic/Latino respondents included:

• Having new housing and job centers close to public transportation. • Having economic opportunity and access to high paying jobs. • Improving the speed and frequency of public transit. • Increasing investment in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

WHAT IS “MOMENTUM?” The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Regional Council is responsible for approving and amending the Regional Transportation Plan. The plan is updated every two to four years and guides transportation planning for the next 20 years and beyond. The dedicated sales tax that has been in place for 35 years will expire in 2025. In preparation for voters to consider its renewal, MAG is developing the new Regional Transportation Plan, called “MOMENTUM.”

FALCON ENGINEERING FLIES HIGH WITH SHAUNA FANTASIA AT THE HELM BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA & KAREN MURPHY

As a child who grew up on military bases throughout the U.S., Shauna Fantasia spent her playtime building model fighter planes. Her childhood, she says, fostered a love for technology and the military, so it is no surprise that this ambitious woman would grow up and start an aviation and aerospace company.

increased their knowledge to design their version of an isolation gown for federal, state, local public health officials, leaders in occupational health services, and infection prevention and control programs. The company’s shift into health care manufacturing has allowed the company to broaden their job recruitment and bring 40 additional employees on board at their Mesa facility. The current manufacturing service lines emphasize CNC manufacturing, fabrication and sewing. CNC, which stands for computer numerical control, is a manufacturing process

Fantasia started Falcon Engineering Corp. in Mesa, AZ, in 2015 and serves as its president. As a woman working in engineering, Shauna is well aware of her special situation and the lack of female representation at the top of the engineering and manufacturing sectors.

MEET SHAUNA FANTASIA BIRTHPLACE Clark AFB in the Philippines

“In this unique situation, I have had to create a brand identity for my company and for myself to be synonymous with quality,” Fantasia says. “This has required me to give 1000% of myself to navigate the marketplace. I have had to work harder than my peers and be tougher at the same time to achieve my goals. I am proud to see a societal change where more women are being encouraged to go into STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] fields.”

Her hard work and vision paid off in 2019 when her company was named the minority manufacturing firm of the year by the Phoenix Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) for the work the company does, both externally and internally.

SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK

A NATURAL WONDERLAND WAITING OUTSIDE TUCSON TO BE EXPLORED BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA & KAREN MURPHY 2020 has been a difficult year for the country as the pandemic forced the closure of many businesses and places where you could get some exercise and fresh air. As some places are beginning to slowly open back up, Arizona residents are lucky to live in a state of astonishing natural beauty where, outside the main population areas, you can easily socially distance from the world.

Juarez, who calls himself an “ideas man,” came up with a threepronged approach to increase Hispanic attendance:

• Diversify the workforce within the park so the staff better reflects the local residents; • Create culturally relevant and linguistically accessible information and events; and

The state park system in Arizona, which includes both state parks and state historic parks, has 31 units. In addition, Arizona is home to 24 National Park Service units, including three national parks: Grand Canyon (in both Coconino and Mojave Counties), the Petrified Forest (in northeastern Arizona, straddling Apache and Navajo Counties) and Saguaro (Pima County, on both sides of the city of Tucson).

• Create generational involvement to gets people of all ages involved in educational activities such as field trips, youth training seminars and internships. Juarez strongly emphasized that the park does not specifically collect demographic data on park attendance, but he says that there is anecdotal evidence that the programs are working to get more Hispanics involved and interested in Saguaro National Park. Although many of the programs have been put on hold because of the pandemic, Juarez remains an enthusiastic promoter of the park who cannot wait to get back to facilitating in-person programs.

While the Grand Canyon is by far the most famous natural wonder in the state and the Petrified Forest is likely the least accessible, Saguaro is the national park that seems to be almost hiding in plain sight—at least for many local residents and especially for the Latinx/ Hispanic population in Tucson. Even though approximately 44% of the population in Tucson is Hispanic, just 2% of the visitors to Saguaro National Park are. This percentage compares to a 9% Hispanic attendance rate for all of the National Parks. Those dismal numbers are changing, though, thanks to the hard work and ambitious plans of Cam Juarez.

One of the successful outreach programs, The Next Generation Rangers program, was started by one of Juarez’s former colleagues.

Juarez was one of those Tucson residents who never knew the park was right there when he was growing up. He freely admits that he never set foot in it until he became its Community Engagement Coordinator in 2015, after working many years at the Pima County Neighborhood Reinvestment Program and also being a board member of the Tucson Unified School District Board. His job at Saguaro National Park is a specific one: to increase attendance, particularly among Latinx/Hispanic visitors.

FRIENDS OF SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK 2700 N. Kinney Rd. | Tucson 520.733.8610 | www.friendsofsaguaro.org

The park actively participates in local events with pop-up tents and outreach tables with handouts in English, Spanish and other languages at events such as the Tucson Rodeo Parade (Feb. 12–14, 2021), The Tucson Pride Festival (Virtual, Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020), and the All Souls Procession Weekend, which this year will be virtual only and will live stream the Finale on Nov. 8. It also has created a Mobile Visitor Center and has plans for the addition of a Paleta Trike to hand out ice cream treats to further entice community members to learn about the park and visit regularly.

AN INTERVIEW WITH CAM JUAREZ

For the future, Juarez is thinking about food festivals and farmers markets at the park—and has a lot of other ideas—but all those plans will have to wait until it is safe again to encourage large gatherings. Stay tuned—and plan your visit soon (but check with the park before you go for the latest restrictions).

CHANGE IS GONNA COME PROMINENT LATINX ORGANIZATIONS ARE VOICING THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA & KAREN MURPHY Racial tension in America went past the simmering point where it’s been for too many decades to boiling over onto the streets of America—and the world—when a white Minneapolis policeman officer killed George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, on May 25, 2020, by keeping his knee on Mr. Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds as Mr. Floyd screamed, “I can’t breathe,” and cried out for his mother. A few months later, the world watched in horror when a Kenosha (WI) police officer grabbed 29-year-old Jacob Blake, another unarmed Black man, by the back of his shirt and shot him seven times at point blank range—in front of his three kids (ages 8, 5 and 3)—as Blake was trying to get in his car. It is incredible that Blake did not die as a result, but he was critically injured and likely will never walk again.

The anguish and rage over the regular killing of unarmed Black men by police and other Americans got a name and a contemporary voice in 2013 when the #BlackLivesMatter movement was founded in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, FL. According to the group’s website, The Black Lives Matter Foundation is an international organization in the U.S., U.K. and Canada created to “eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.”

Although it is no secret that anti-Black racism exists within some segments of the Latinx community, a June 8, 2020, op-ed piece in the Miami Herald written by Stephanie Valencia, co-founder of Equis labs, and Denise Collazo, senior adviser for Faith in Action— and signed by the leaders of 45 prominent Latinx groups—strongly said, “We commit to standing with the Black community in saying unequivocally that Black Lives Matter. We will take direction from Black organizers in our response to anti-Black violence.”

One of the groups that signed the op-ed was Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), described on its website as “a membership-led, grassroots organization that builds power with Arizona’s working families to advance social, racial and economic justice for all. Through grassroots campaigns, leadership development, advocacy and civic engagement, we work to create an Arizona in which every person enjoys equal rights, opportunities and protections.”

CASE STUDY

CHANGE IS GONNA COME Other Latinx organizations in Arizona also have joined the cause and are taking direct action. Poder in Action, a nonprofit organization that seeks to “build power to disrupt and dismantle systems of oppression and determine a liberated future as people of color in Arizona,” and Trans Queer Pueblo, a group of autonomous LGBTQ+ migrants of color, organized a peaceful protest on June 3 to voice their opposition to the Phoenix City Council’s plans to direct more than $744 million to the local police department, which Poder in Action has characterized as one that “terrorized Phoenix communities for decades.” The protesters want the city council to redirect 25% of that money to programs “that create safe and healthy communities.” They also want the council to prioritize community health and not police pay raises, hold police accountable for their actions and end the collaboration between Phoenix Police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

GET INVOLVED BLACK LIVES MATTER blacklivesmatter.com/ SOMOS FOR BLACK LIVES You can sign the letter that ran in the Miami Herald here: www.somosforblacklives.com/ LUCHA ARIZONA (LIVING UNITED FOR CHANGE IN ARIZONA) luchaaz.org/ PODER IN ACTION (PREVIOUSLY CENTER FOR NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERSHIP) www.poderinaction.org/

As we seek the change we want to see in the world, remember one thing: It was more than 50 years ago, in 1966, that Martin Luther King Jr. wrote a letter of support to Latino American civil rights activist César Estrada Chávez that said, “Our separate struggles are really one.” And, as Sam Cooke sang in his beautiful 1964 song, “It’s been a long time comin’, but I know a change is gonna come. Oh yes, it will.”

IT’S PAST TIME FOR A LATINX CULTURAL CENTER IN PHOENIX BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA & KAREN MURPHY

Maricopa County is ranked 4th in the country in a list of the U.S. counties with the largest Hispanic populations. The county, according to Pew Research analysis of U.S. Census 2019 data, has approximately 1.4 million Hispanic residents, which is 31 percent of the total population. So why does Phoenix lag so far behind other counties in the U.S. with large Hispanic populations in creating a cultural center for the Latinx community?

ALBUQUERQUE

A study commissioned by the city of Phoenix found that most respondents actively engage with arts and culture within the downtown area because it represents the heart of the city's culture. Many survey respondents believe that this area in particular is important as the location for the center because the Latinx Cultural Center should be “on par and in company” with all the other cultural institutions within the downtown area.

ON THE ROAD

It was 19 years ago that Phoenix voters originally approved $1.4 million in bond funding for a Latino Cultural Center. After many years of hard work by community members, interim Phoenix Mayor Thelda Williams finally assembled the Latino Center Ad Hoc Committee in 2019 to discuss the physical infrastructure and devise a strategic plan for business, programming, partnerships and fundraising. In that year, the Phoenix City Council also officially took over the project.

The rest of the money for the rehab work would come from a city capital funding campaign.

HISPANICS IN PHILANTHROPY: THE POWER OF THE COLLECTIVE CORAZÓN REFERENCES

Our world in 2020 looks nothing like we thought it would at the beginning of the year. COVID-19 has brought America to its knees and turned our economy sideways. We are being forced to social distance for our own health and are living much more of our lives online, trying desperately to adapt to this new, hopefully, temporary normal.

LESSONS FROM A YEAR AND A HALF OF HIPGIVE (1.29.16)

Organizations like Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) have learned to pivot on a dime and continue doing the work they set out to do. HIP was founded in 1983 as a transnational organization that uses philanthropic resources to address social justice issues and support community prosperity. It invests in Latinx communities and develops leaders in the social and philanthropic sector to effectively address the most pressing issues affecting communities throughout the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean.

FOUR STRATEGIES TO MAXIMIZE LATINX-FOCUSED PHILANTHROPY AND CHARITABLE EFFORTS www.urban.org/urban-wire/four-strategies-maximize-latinx-focused-philanthropy-and-charitableefforts

In 2013, the group determined that “informal philanthropy” was the way everyone could get involved. After witnessing the success of GoFundMe, which was founded in 2010 by Andy Ballester and Brad Damhousse, the group launched HIPGive in the spring of 2014. You can think of it as a GoFundMe platform with a Latin accent. In fact, HIPGive is the first and only bilingual crowdfunding platform devoted specifically to advance Latino social impact projects and promote philanthropy across the Americas. Participants—both individuals and nonprofits—can start their own projects or support existing ones. They also can read and share stories about all the ways Latinos support each other for social good. And foundations and corporations can partner with HIP through initiatives such as targeted campaigns, special initiatives, matching funds and customized landing pages.

The challenges we face as a nation and as Latinos are enormous, but the generosity and resilience of our community is even greater. We are resilient because we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors who whisper to us, via our anxious hypervigilance, that this too shall pass.

Realistically, though, it will not pass quickly enough unless we actively participate and nonviolently push back against injustice. We must support our most vulnerable and the organizations that are leading the efforts to uplift our vast community of Latinxs, Caribeños and Latinoamericanos. With HIP continuing to fund and connect our communities, we can build a strong collective corazón that grows, defines and exerts our power.

PROFILE

STEPHANIE PARRA: EXACTLY THE TYPE OF YOUNG LEADER ARIZONA NEEDS BY KAREN MURPHY Stephanie Parra is an Arizona native, born and raised in Yuma. She is a proud daughter of Mexican immigrants who has lived in Arizona her entire life. As beautiful as the landscape and people of this state are, though, as a Latina, Parra has experienced some of the not-so-beautiful things Arizona has to offer. The instances of discrimination, while difficult, have also been important life lessons for her.

friends along the way, who fueled her when things felt uncertain— from pushing her when she almost lost her full-ride scholarship to encouraging her to pursue a master's degree. Without that encouragement, Parra often wonders whether she would have completed college or just would have found it easier to drop out.

She is deeply committed to social justice, opportunity for all and equity work and has realized over the years that it was more than just caring about these issues. She sometimes thinks about why she is so committed to education and to low-income children, youth and families. She wonders why she has spent so many sleepless nights tormented by a sense of urgency around the issues negatively affecting communities of color. And one day, it became crystal clear: All of these issues are her family’s personal experience.

Why do students with the same identity or similar backgrounds tend to flock to each other on college campuses across the country? Obviously, they find solace and support in each other because they are all navigating a shared life experience.

As an ASU graduate student pursuing a master’s in higher and postsecondary education, Parra saw her personal struggles and those of the students she taught at the university much more clearly. In her graduate coursework, she learned about the complexities of various student subgroups in college.

“There is power in finding a community that will see you, hear you and understand your struggles,” Parra says. Without this kind of support network, some students unfortunately find it easier to give up on their dream of getting a college degree because the barriers to achieve it—economic challenges, social and emotional stresses, family duties and responsibilities—seem too great to overcome. It was in this moment, and in Parra’s review of the relevant research, that something inside of her lit up. She began to make connections between her own student experience and the experiences of the students she was teaching. Parra longed to be the support they needed to achieve, to make sure they knew they had someone cheering them on who believed in their potential to excel. Parra firmly believes students and families of color need advocates to champion them and believe in their abilities to achieve their goals to attain a good quality of life.

Parra’s educational experience has played a big role in who she is today. She was a good student who deeply cared about her success. She pushed to make the honor roll and had perfect attendance every year. Even with her personal commitment to achieve academic success, however, Parra still faced many struggles. Most of her challenges happened when she went from high school to college. A big part of her struggle was having to move from the familiarity of her hometown of Yuma to Tempe, the home of Arizona State University (ASU) located in the bustling Phoenix metro area. The move required additional guidance and support that her parents no longer felt they could provide, but they knew that their daughter had to get out of Yuma and go to college so they encouraged and supported her to do pursue her dreams.

“While I have always cared about these issues, I wasn’t always committed to staying in Arizona,” Parra says. “In late 2012, I finally had enough of the anti-immigrant/anti-Latino rhetoric certain

S T E P H A N I E PA R R A : E X AC T LY T H E T Y P E O F YO U N G L E A D E R A R I Z O N A N E E D S Arizona politicians had been spewing for years. It was two years after the passage of the controversial Arizona Senate Bill 1070 aimed at preventing illegal immigration and shortly after the 2012 re-election of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Parra’s work is deeply personal to her because it is part of who she is. She sees herself in all the young people striving to make their parents proud of all the sacrifices they have made for their kids to obtain a high school and college degree. She sees her parents in the families working incredibly hard to ensure their children have access to the opportunities they did not have.

“At that time, I was working for a national team at Teach For America. My manager, Andrea, and I discussed the possibility of me moving out of Arizona, given the flexibility of my position,” Parra says. “I expressed the desire to live in a place where I would feel welcome and valued as a Latina in the community. The anti-immigrant political rhetoric in Arizona was unnerving, emotionally exhausting and, unfortunately, successful in making me feel like I did not belong in the state where I was born and raised.”

Parra strongly believes that we must ensure that all students have access to high-quality learning environments and opportunities to complete high school and pursue college degrees. We must break down all the barriers first-generation college students face who do not have the social capital to navigate the complexities of the American P-20 education system without some support. We must be the change.

It was her manager’s response to Parra’s desire to leave the state that she still remembers to this day. “Stephanie,” her manager said, “you can leave, like everyone else who gets frustrated with Arizona. Or, you can stay here and create the change our community desperately needs.”

She remembered the countless friends and colleagues over the years who came and went from Arizona just as Andrea had described. Parra believes that so much talent has left Arizona because people are not nurtured and supported by the local communities. Instead, the state’s political environment has made Latinos feel unwelcome in their own backyard.

Parra became the Executive Director of ALL In Education, Phoenix. Once she realized she had the agency to create the change she wanted to see in Phoenix and across Arizona, there was nothing—and no one— who could stop her. She found a supportive community in leadership programs like Valle del Sol’s Hispanic Leadership Institute, the New American Leaders and Valley Leadership. She positioned herself to serve in leadership roles where she could influence outcomes and decisions that affected students and families like hers.

BY ARISBETH VALENZUELA & KAREN MURPHY There is no way to sugar-coat this statement: The United States— the supposed “beacon of hope” for the world—has a major mass incarceration problem. Just one of the problems is that the inmate population throughout the U.S. is overwhelmingly Black and Latinx, even though they account for 31.9% of the U.S. population combined, according to 2019 U.S. Census Bureau estimates.

MAS S INCARCER AT ION DOES NOT EQUAL CRIMINAL JUS T ICE • The median bail amount for felonies is $10,000, which represents eight months of income for a typical person detained because they cannot pay bail.

Arizona remains one of the 14 states that abolished parole board release regardless of the offense committed and requires every inmate to complete 85% of their sentence before being released. The nonprofit Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) is hoping to make a difference in the state through the creation of several bills.

• According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, 47,728 inmates (30.6%) throughout the U.S. were Hispanic as of 8.22.20. Note that Hispanics currently account for 16.7% national population.

Julie Stewart created FAMM in 1990 when she was the public affairs director at the Cato Institute. She got a shocking introduction to mandatory minimum sentencing laws when her brother was arrested for growing marijuana in Washington State. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in federal prison without parole, even though it was his first offense.

• And then there is COVID-19. Since June 2020, more than 570 incarcerated people (28 in Arizona) have died. More than 50 correctional staff also have died, but none in Arizona. According to the ACLU and the Prison Policy Initiative, most states have taken very little action to protect their prison populations.

Within Arizona, HB 2808 and HB 2753 are examples of FAMM’s approach to earned release credit reformation. HB 2808 would allow those who have not been convicted of violent or aggravated crimes to serve 70% of their sentence after completing a rehabilitative prison program instead of the current 85%. HB 2753 is a reform bill that would grant almost all inmates the ability to earn release and good time credit.

“Crime [in Arizona] for the most part hasn’t really increased in the past decade, yet we’re seeing this dramatic increase in the number of people that are behind bars,” says Alessandra Soler, executive director of the ACLU of Arizona in a 2018 KTAR News story online. That may be true, and Columbia University’s Spatial Information Design Lab and the Justice Mapping Center has created maps that show that a disproportionate number of the more than 2 million prison inmates in the U.S. come from a very few neighborhoods in the country’s biggest cities. Even more alarming, when these people are released and reenter their communities, roughly 40% are reincarcerated within three years. The researchers termed these streets as “million dollar blocks” based on the significant investments and costs to other infrastructure such as education, health, housing and family. The Council of State Governments website has a 2006 map showing South Mountain zip code 85041 with a particularly alarming statement: A single neighborhood in Phoenix is home to 1% of the state’s total population, but 6.5% of the state’s prison population. Here’s how the numbers break down for the 85041 zip code:

MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT No criminal justice reform bills were passed before the 2020 legislative session ended in Arizona in June 2020. The next legislative session is in January 2021. The Nov. 3 general election ballot is expected to have an important package of sentencing and earned credit time reforms that people can vote on as ballot initiatives.

READ CANDIDATES’ VIEWS FAMM and The START Project have released the results of their candidate questionnaire. You can read the opinions of the candidates for the state legislature on eight proposed criminal justice reforms covering a range of sentencing and prison issues online: AZJusticeVoter.org

• Prison Admissions = 31.8 per 1000 adults; • Jail Bookings = 96.5 per 1000 adults; and

MAS S INCARCER AT ION DOES NOT EQUAL CRIMINAL JUS T ICE FAMM also wrote HB 2894 (Arizona Independent Prison Oversight), which would allow the ombudsman, a public advocate, to monitor, inspect and report publicly on the conditions within the prison itself and would allow official investigations stemming from staff, prisoners, and family members. The group has also partnered with The START (Striving To Achieve Reform Together) Project, a group of formerly incarcerated people and family members of current prisoners in Arizona to advocate for criminal justice reform (see Make Your Vote Count on p.230).

"In Norway, the punishment is just to take away someone's liberty,” Hoildal says in the BBC article. “The other rights stay. Prisoners can vote, they can have access to school, to health care; they have the same rights as any Norwegian citizen because inmates are human beings. They have done wrong, they must be punished, but they are still human beings." It is purely a pipe dream that the world would ever be able to realistically abolish prisons. There are, however, many possibilities for prison reform to consider. One place to get ideas is The World Prison Brief, which launched in 2000. The online database offers free access to information on prison systems around the world and supports evidence-based development of prison policy and practice. It is hosted by the Institute for Crime & Justice Policy Research at Birkbeck, University of London.

When looking for other ideas to reform America’s—and Arizona’s— approach to incarceration, Norway could offer some answers. It is the country most cited as the gold standard when it comes to prison reform and the humane treatment of prisoners, no matter what the crime. Just 30 years ago, however, Norway’s prisons were not much different than the U.S.: Prisoner treatment was harsh and recidivism was high. According to an article on the BBC News website, in the early 1990s, “the ethos of the Norwegian Correctional Service underwent a rigorous series of reforms” and began focusing less on revenge and more on rehabilitation. According to Are Hoidal, governor of the country’s Halden prison, prisoners who had previously spent most of their days locked up, were offered daily training and educational programs.

One of the related publications on the World Prison Brief site is the handbook, A Human Rights Approach to Prison Management, which can be downloaded in Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Printed versions are also available in Albanian, Amharic, Chinese and Japanese. Arizona residents who want to make a difference can start by voting on those Nov. 3 ballot initiatives. If they pass, real reform could begin to happen.

THE LATINO & YOUTH VOTE AND THE EMERGING ELECTORATE BY JULIO ESPINOZA The U.S. and Arizona are at a historic crossroads, not only because of the state and federal mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic and their negligence in dealing with the negative economic effects of the disease, but also because of their polarizing discourse and blaming others instead of taking responsibility for their mistakes. The so-called emerging electorate knows this general election is a referendum on the U.S. Government, the U.S. Senate, and the Arizona State Legislature for their mismanagement of public health and the economy.

populations will be playing an important role in November 2020. However, Latinx are not a monolithic group. They are made up of people from different races and countries of origin. In contrast to U.S. nationalism, Latin American nationalism is based on identity, not race. That is why brown, white, and black people can consider themselves Latinx. Mexico and Brazil are clear examples of emerging powers with racial diversity and a common identity. Therefore we should not take the Latinx vote for granted and always implement segmentation and cross-cultural marketing when reaching out to Latinx voters.

Far from perfect, America is still a work in progress, and every generation has a historical duty to help build a more perfect union. In political science, population growth and generational change are leading factors for shifts in the status quo. Past generations of Americans fought and defeated fascism in Asia and Europe. Now it is our turn to fight for the soul of America. History is watching the emerging electorate made of new generations (Millenials and PostMillenials) and new players (organized minorities and new citizens).

Latinx in contrast to Anglo-Saxons are not transactional. You need to build a relationship with them before asking them to vote, run for office or donate. Their decision-making process is more complicated than you might imagine. Latinx make group decisions because of their collective mindset, in direct contrast to the Anglo-Saxon concept of individualism. For example when Latinx vote, the elders and enablers of the family and community have a lot of influence. Latinx also value country, religion, family, and opportunity as much as other groups but you need to have a cross-cultural component for them to be active players in their communities. It is not enough to speak to them in Spanglish. You need brand ambassadors embedded in the community to share information and flag issues before it is too late. In Arizona 1.2 million voters are Latinx and the Arizona Democratic Party, in coordination with the DNC and the Biden For President Campaign, has a robust program to target the Latino vote. We also have a record number of Latinx running and winning in local races. Many of our lawmakers are Latinx or identify with Latinx issues like healthcare, education, and employment. But we still need to do more to serve the Latinx community. That is why the Arizona Democratic Party now has a Latinx department running all year long to build relationships across the state within the Latinx community.

The 2016 presidential election is still disrupting the U.S. and the world in many ways. Protectionism and nationalism are on the rise abroad. In the continental U.S. we see an increase of racial tensions, political belligerence, and economic polarization. After the Cold War, some pundits declared the victory of liberalism (democracy and free-market economy), and many thought about achieving liberty, equality, and justice for all. They declared the “end of history”. They were wrong and the 2016 U.S. general election highlighted the systemic divisions and inequities in the American system: issues created across multiple generations of Americans. But we, the emerging electorate, need to get out and vote in order to make a difference. We need new blood in the decision-making process. We need more Millennials and Post-Millennials in positions of influence. How do we achieve that? One solution is voting and running for office. But do we really know the emerging electorate and are we really able to get them to vote, run for office, and donate?

Yes, it is true that the Latino vote matters but only if they vote. Latinx often carry a bias about politics: the lack of faith in the political system is a transgenerational issue for some Latinx voters. Now add the economic, educational, and age gaps to the mix and you will find that Latinx are less active politically than non-Latinx. For example, the median age of Latinx in Arizona is 26, which is lower

Of all minorities, it seems that the largest voting block is Latinx with around 32 million eligible voters across the country. Battleground states like Arizona, Florida, and Texas with their significant Latinx

The Latinx vote still falls under the category of underrepresented communities for a reason. It is a contradicting situation: in order to be empowered they need to vote but they sometimes forget to vote because it is not in their mindset or ability. There is a maturity process for the young Latinx constituents to understand the importance of being involved in politics and promoting their best interest. We have seen the power of the Latinx community in the U.S. and Arizona when they march and organize for immigration reform policies, we need to continue with our outreach and support while we wait for them to be politically ripened, ready to challenge and take charge.

The Latinx vote is not only the Latinx vote because the same issues that Latinx advocate for (having fair access to the economic, healthcare, education, and justice systems) are the same issues other non-Latinx constituents embrace, depending on their socioeconomic status. So the Latinx vote is also the voice of non-Latinx that need to graduate from poverty and become mature players of the political, justice, and economic systems. The U.S. naturalized citizens that came here for reasons other than the pursuit of a better life (work, school, family, investment, science, art) are also an important voting block, very diverse, but the same political marketing principle applies: target them with a robust cross-cultural outreach program that acknowledges their identity and amplifies their voices.

GENERATION X

Born 1965–1980 (40–55 years old)

MILLENNIALS (AKA GEN Y) Born 1981–1996 (24–39 years old)

POST-MILLENNIALS (AKA GEN Z/PLURALS) Born 1997–Present (0–23 years old)

The U.S. and Arizona are at a crossroads between the chaos from the White House, the U.S. Senate, and the Governor of Arizona, and the hope of overcoming the current status quo. The baby boomers will be retiring soon and we need new blood to take over. It is the responsibility of the Millenials and Post-Millenials, Latinx and non-Latinx, to take leadership. But it is the responsibility of the professionals of business and politics to enable the new generation so that when the U.S. Census predictions of a majority-minority population (2030 in Arizona, 2045 in the U.S.) becomes real, we all are prepared to deal with the new powers that be. But for that bright future to happen, all of us need to consistently vote, run for office, and donate. We cannot replicate the same mistakes the previous generations made. We need to end inequality, injustice, and oppression for good and for all. Sal a votar, Arizona. Arizona, get out to vote.
