We can have faith in our local elections, our community, our work ethic. It is important, now more than ever, to do the work in whatever capacity that looks like.

Even though the Latino population in New York is at record levels, there are no citywide Latino officials. A new survey of Latino voters in New York finds that Latinos themselves have a hard time naming an influential Latino leader in New York, with just under 15% naming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Latino voters are also split in their opinion of the Democratic Party — with 40% saying that the state government does not represent or incorporate the Latino perspective. Luis Miranda, founder of the Hamilton Campaign Network, and Melissa Mark-Viverito, president of the network and former City Council speaker, joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the poll they commissioned and the role of Latinos in New York politics. They also talked about how the migrant crisis needs a leading voice from the Latino community, and how some asylum seekers have encountered acts of violence and hostility upon arriving in New York.

This is a bonus story about an issue that plagues the New York City Taxi Industry: Taxi Ride Service Refusals. Every year hundreds of passengers are refused service across the city. Service refusals primarily affect people with disabilities and communities in the outer boroughs who are disproportionately Black/People of Color. The Taxi and Limousine Commission’s latest campaign against taxi ride service refusals asks passengers to report drivers to 311 - but has this approach worked in the past? Julian and Yanny break it down by looking at the last time a taxi ride refusal caused a stir - when the Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulin Cruz and then City Council Speaker, Melissa Mark-Viverito, fought two yellow cab drivers. Tune in as we speak to one of the drivers, who for the first time ever, speaks about how it all went down. Make sure to visit the website for the fully translated transcription to follow along for the parts in Spanish.

Gender equity in government It’s a disservice to our communities and our democracy when the voices of women are missing in government. Women have a right for government to reflect their needs. The actual, lived experiences and perspectives of women in leadership positions enrich and inform our budgets, public policy, and legislation in ways that would not be possible in their absence. A prime example is reproductive rights. When women are at the table, onerous legislation against reproductive rights is less likely. Campaign Finance Program An effective campaign finance program is critical for leveling the playing field for political candidates. It amplifies the voices of small donors and marginalized communities, encourages citizens from all walks of life to run for office, and reduces the possibility of corruption. The New York City Campaign Finance Board boasts a campaign finance program that matches each dollar that is donated with an $8 contribution from public funds. Women Can Win Women have a right to run and to be elected. The record number of women elected into Congress in the 2018 midterm election proves that women can win. Still, women are reluctant to jump into the fray, and have to be asked 5 to 6 times to run for office. Women candidates benefit from being mentored, gaining the skills and understanding about what it takes to run for office, and an effective campaign finance program. Find out more: Melissa Mark-Viverito is a leading progressive voice in New York. She made history in 2005 when she was elected as the first Latina to represent Spanish Harlem/El Barrio in the New York City Council.

El exsecretario de Justicia de Puerto Rico Antonio Sagardia de Jesús habló con Fernando Del Rincón y opina que el poder legislativo es el único responsable de considerar si el gobernador Ricardo Rosselló debe seguir en el poder, pero cree que es peligroso para la democracia que la legitimidad de un político se defina por las protestas de un pueblo. El mandatario atraviesa una de las crisis más profundas de su Gobierno luego de la publicación de los mensajes de un chat que mantenía con miembros de su círculo gubernamental más cercano. Según se desprende de la conversación, el grupo se burla e insulta a periodistas, artistas y políticos.
