On average Latina women are paid 55 cents to every dollar white men are paid. It's even worse in California, where Latinas are paid 42 cents to every dollar white men are paid. Latinas have been among the hardest hit by the pandemic and suffer the worst pay gap in the nation. This is why we fight everyday to improve pay and working conditions! #LatinaEqualPayDay

There are critical propositions on the ballot. Our votes will have the power to rebuild our region. Check out our CA ballot measure recommendations at cpisandiego.org/2020-voter-guide. We have the chance to pass critical legislation that will reclaim funding for our schools, advance racial equity in education and hiring, and slow rising rents. We also have the opportunity to stop a regressive measure that will increase the criminalization and incarceration of our communities, and stop large tech corporations from circumventing labor laws. Remember to vote the WHOLE ballot. This election, we have the potential to make our lives more equitable and just, or set us back decades. Your voice matters and your vote can make a difference.

Environmental racism (and the subsequent chronic exposure to air pollution) has been identified as one of the biggest contributing factors to higher rates of severe illness and death from COVID-19 within Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities. The fossil fuel industry receives billions of dollars in indirect and direct public subsidies every year, even though the industry has been in financial decline since 2014. The CARES Act even gave the industry nearly $110 billion in stimulus funding--far more than was allocated for healthcare supplies and investments. Our government must stop investing in dirty energy, financially hold them accountable for repairing the damage they’ve caused and bring energy resources under public ownership and control. #fuelingthefire #fuelingracism #makepolluterspay
