  • Annual Review 2004 - 2005
    Annual Review 2004 - 2005 www.rapoportcenter.org From the Director In the summer of 2004, the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Foundation awarded a five-year grant to the University of Texas School of Law to create a human rights center. As the first year of the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice comes to a close, this Annual Review provides us an opportunity to reflect on and share with our many friends and supporters the Center’s work over the past year. We have made great strides toward our mission: to build a multidisciplinary community engaged in the study and practice of human rights that promotes the economic and political enfranchisement of marginalized individuals and groups both locally and globally. We officially launched the Center with our conference entitled “Working Borders: Linking Debates about Insourcing and Outsourcing of Capital and Labor” in February, but the Center was by then fully operational. Three second-year law students had been named “Human Rights Scholars” and were working hard to help administer and promote the Center. The Transnational Worker Rights Clinic was up and running, and the Immigration Law Clinic was in the midst of another busy Mission Statement year. Combined, the clinics provided opportunities for nearly thirty students to provide legal representation to about 150 of of the Bernard and the most marginalized individuals in Central Texas.

    February 11, 2021 The Honorable Gavin Newsom 1303 10th Street, Suite 1173 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: COVID-19 Vaccination is Leaving Latino Californians Behind Dear Governor Gavin Newsom: We are deeply grateful for your leadership during this unprecedented public health crisis and write as a diverse cadre of Latino leaders and allies who have coalesced to provide your Administration strategic input on substantive and descriptive representation in the world’s fifth-largest economy. We find ourselves at yet another major crossroads in the COVID-19 pandemic and believe that your Administration must take concrete steps to prioritize the state’s plurality population in vaccine distribution to immediately correct the unequal rollout that is leaving too many frontline communities behind. The future saliency of California’s economy is inextricably linked to the health and wealth of its plurality population—diverse Latino communities from Chula Vista to Redding, who have worked to establish the state as a global economic powerhouse and continue to put their bodies on the line to keep the state afloat during COVID-19. Latinos are a growing and youthful population, with a median age of 30, nearly three-quarters of whom are millennials or younger. 1 Of the 60.6 million Latinos who live in the U.S., over 25% of the Latino population reside in California, making it home to the largest concentration of Latinos in the nation, and California the nation’s fifth-youngest population.2 Today, the state’s 3.4 million Latino students represent over half (55%) of California’s K-12 student population 3 and 7.2 million Latino workers represent 37% of the state’s labor force, including an outsized share (55%) of essential workers.
