  • PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Their Government
    PPICPPIC STATEWIDESTATEWIDE SURVEYSURVEY FEBRU ARY 2004 Californians and Their Government ○○○○○ Mark Baldassare Research Director & Survey Director Public Policy Institute of California The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) is a private operating foundation established in 1994 with an endowment from William R. Hewlett. The Institute is dedicated to improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research. PPIC’s research agenda focuses on three program areas: population, economy, and governance and public finance. Studies within these programs are examining the underlying forces shaping California’s future, cutting across a wide range of public policy concerns, including education, health care, immigration, income distribution, welfare, urban growth, and state and local finance. PPIC was created because three concerned citizens – William R. Hewlett, Roger W. Heyns, and Arjay Miller – recognized the need for linking objective research to the realities of California public policy. Their goal was to help the state’s leaders better understand the intricacies and implications of contemporary issues and make informed public policy decisions when confronted with challenges in the future. PPIC does not take or support positions on any ballot measure or on any local, state, or federal legislation, nor does it endorse, support, or oppose any political parties or candidates for public office. David W. Lyon is founding President and Chief Executive Officer of PPIC. Raymond L. Watson is Chairman of the Board of Directors. 500 Washington Street, Suite 800 • San Francisco, California 94111 Telephone: (415) 291-4400 • Fax: (415) 291-4401 [email protected] • www.ppic.org Preface The PPIC Statewide Survey series provides policymakers, the media, and the general public with objective, advocacy-free information on the perceptions, opinions, and public policy preferences of California residents.

El tema de la Conferencia 2014 es “Iniciativas de liderazgo inspiradas por Latinas prominentes,” estableciendo que constituimos el grupo de mayor crecimiento en los últimos años. Las Latinas han ingresado con fuerza en las empresas de los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico. Se calcula que entre el 2002 al 2012, el número de trabajadoras Latinas crecerá en 2.8 millones, llegando a representar el 28.8 por ciento del total de las mujeres trabajadoras en Estados Unidos. Estos datos dejan atrás el cuadro de la mujer latina ama de casa y separada de la fuerza laboral. Recientemente, en diferentes actividades de la Comisión Nacional, a través de la nación les hablé sobre el impacto fundamental que representa la Latina en la economía estadounidense, y la contribución significativa de las trabajadoras latinas no sólo a nivel del crecimiento financiero y la seguridad de sus hogares, sino a nivel de la economía nacional.

  • Latinas of the Right: Ethnicity, Assimilation and Twentieth Century Conservatism
    Latinas of the Right: Ethnicity, Assimilation and Twentieth Century Conservatism Amalia Castañeda “Being Latina is who I am and I bring the voice, I believe, of the voiceless” “I believe assimilation is the only model that works in a society as diverse as ours. That if each and every group keeps its primary attachment to their ethnic or racial group, its divisive.” In a 1992 C-SPAN interview, Republican icon Linda Chavez stated that as far as diversity was concerned “we need to begin saying it is not your loyalty to your race of your ethnicity that’s important, it’s your loyalty to the idea of this nation and to that common cultural heritage.”1 A self-proclaimed assimilationist, she argued that a public policy agenda connected to cultural heritage and/or certain racial or ethnic groups failed to meet the needs of a diverse U.S. population. While politicians championed diversity, she encouraged the need to focus more on commonalities. Chavez believed in the importance of getting diverse people to recognize that “they’re part of a larger whole.”2 While she proclaimed pride in her heritage, she opposed Latino specific advocacy. Rosario Marin, a Republican leader who rose to national fame in the early twenty-first century, promoted a different message on identity, race and politics. Marin proudly touted that “being Latina is who I am and I bring the voice, I believe of the voiceless.”3 While she later clarified she represented the broader interests of her constituency, her sense of identity was undoubtedly grounded in her cultural heritage.

  • 2015 ANNUAL REPORT LIVE HOBY: Create a Better Future
    HUGH O’BRIAN YOUTH LEADERSHIP 2015 ANNUAL REPORT LIVE HOBY: Create a better future. Founded in 1958 Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) is a premier, international non-profit motivating and training young people to make a difference and become catalysts for positive change – in their home, school, workplace, and community. Our mission is to inspire and develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service, and innovation. HOBY does not teach students what to think, but how to think—creatively, critically, and compassionately. With over 450,000 alumni since 1958, the ripple effect of HOBY, the countless people served and inspired, is truly incalculable. Javier La Fianza HOBY Chief Executive Officer @HOBYPrez HOBY began with a simple idea: everyone can make a difference and anyone can be a leader. Hugh, inspired by Dr. Albert Schweitzer, was determined to help young leaders reach their potential. And HOBY has been successfully doing just that for almost 60 years. Few organizations have the impact of HOBY. More than 10,000 high school students came to HOBY this year, supported by nearly 4,000 volunteers. With over 450,000 alumni to date, and countless millions who have been impacted by their service, we are second to none in what we do. But large numbers, while impressive, can obscure impact. Sometimes, a single voice speaks for many. Sydney Kamen, a 2015 Outstanding Young Alumni honoree, is one such voice. Sydney, was deeply inspired by her HOBY experience and translated that into action. Sydney founded a non-profit, So Others Are Protected (SOAP), which provides both sanitation and a source of income for communities in Southeast Asia.
