A medida que llegamos a la mitad del Mes de la Herencia Hispana y nos preparamos para las elecciones de 2024, es crucial resaltar el problema de la desinformación de los votantes dirigida a las comunidades latinas e hispanas. Las redes sociales pueden ser una herramienta poderosa para el bien, pero también tienen sus trampas. Una preocupación importante es la falta de verificación de datos en los medios de comunicación en español en comparación con las fuentes en inglés. Esta brecha permite que la desinformación se propague sin control, lo que hace que nuestras comunidades sean más vulnerables a las narrativas falsas. ¡Mantengámonos informados y atentos!

As we reach the midpoint of Hispanic Heritage Month and gear up for the 2024 election, it's crucial to highlight the issue of voter misinformation targeting Latino and Hispanic communities. While social media can be a powerful tool for good, it also has its pitfalls. One significant concern is the need for fact-checking in Spanish-language media compared to English sources. This gap is an important issue, as it allows misinformation to spread unchecked, making our communities more vulnerable to false narratives. Let’s stay informed and vigilant!

Last Wednesday, Burt reached out to our case managers for help after a particularly challenging work week, during which he wasn’t paid and also needed to replace his bike. Within just two days, our Board Member Ian Rhodes stepped in and generously donated a bike to this long-time community member. Burt has affectionately named it "Grease Lightning." We are thrilled to see him equipped with the means to travel to work, attend appointments with his case managers, and connect with other essential providers. #makingadifference
