Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de hablar con Analia Centurion sobre su carrera como instructora de tango.

Analia actualmente viaja con Jeremias Fors a diferentes ciudades en los Es-tados Unidos ofreciendo talleres de tango.

“Estoy agradecida de tener la opor-tunidad de llevar este baile fuera de mi país de la Argentina”, afirmó.Analia comenzó a bailar tango en su adolescencia, y dijo que disfruta cada momento en la pista de baile, porque es parte de sus raíces y cultura.

El tango se originó en Argentina en barrios pobres, y anteriormente se

consideraba una danza prohibida.Años más tarde, el baile ha sido acep-tado en diferentes clases de redes so-ciales.

Es un baile apasionado que exige la improvisación entre las parejas que lo realizan, además, el tango también tiene diferentes estilos que van desde la forma en que los bailarines entran a la pista de baile, el abrazo de los baila-rines, porque, en última instancia, los bailarines pueden estar cerca o más seperados.

Sin embargo, cuando se trata de el tango, lo más importante es mantener la conexión entre los dos bailarines, para que transmitan su lenguaje cor-poral a través de sus movimientos y sigan la armonía de la música como un solo cuerpo.

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Analia Centurion about her ca-

reer as a Tango instructor. Analia currently travels with Jeremias Fors to different cities in the United States offering Tango workshops.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to bring this dance out of my country of Argentina,” she stated. Analia began to dance Tango in her adolescence, and she said she enjoys every moment on the dance floor, be-cause it is part of her roots and culture. The Tango originated in Argentina in poor neighborhoods, and was previ-ously considered a forbidden dance. Years later, the dance has been accept-ed in different social media classes. It is a passionate dance that calls for improvisation between the couples who perform it. In addition, the tango also has differ-

ent styles that range from the way the dancers walk onto the floor, to the dancers’ embrace, because, ultimate-ly, the dancers can be close or more open. However, when it comes to the Tango, the most important thing is to main-tain the connection between the two dancers, so that they will transmit their body language through their movements, and follow the harmony of the music as one body.

Ibero American Action League, Inc. celebró su 50 ° Aniversario durante la gala anual el sábado 9 de junio en el Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riv-erside Convention Center. Ibero co-menzó con el total de 8 becas y este año se reconocieron 74 becarios de las escuelas secundaria.

Hilda Rosario Escher, Presidenta y CEO de Ibero, declaró que la organización se estableció en 1968 con solo $ 5,000 y que hoy opera con un presupuesto de $ 13,000,000. Ibero fue creado para servir a la comunidad latina en Roch-ester. Hoy, la agencia sirve a personas de todos los orígenes étnicos.

Con el corazón roto, Escher anunció que pronto se retirará de su puesto como presidenta de Ibero.

EL especialista retirado del ejército y ganador del “Bailando con las estrel-las” José Rene “J.R.” Martínez fue el orador principal.

Habló sobre los desafíos que enfrentó cuando creció en un hogar con una madre soltera y su accidente mientras servía en el Ejército de los EE. UU. En Iraq 2003.

Después de que su vehículo fue gol-peado por un artefacto explosivo (IED) quedó atrapado y sufrió quemadu-ras graves en el 40% de su cuerpo. Después de su recuperación, Martínez viaja por todo el país como orador mo-tivacional para grupos de veteranos, escuelas y otras organizaciones. Sus palabras transmiten fuerza, coraje y objetivos.

Ibero American Action League Inc. cel-ebrated its 50th anniversary during the organization’s annual gala at the Joseph A. Floreano Rochester River-side Convention Center recently.

Ibero started the signature fundraiser with only eight scholarships, after the agency’s establishment in 1968, and, this year, 74 high school scholarship recipients were recognized by the or-ganization.

According to Ibero’s president and CEO, Hilda Rosario Escher, the orga-nization was initially established with only $5,000, and, today, operates with a $13,000,000 budget.

Escher also said Ibero was initially created to serve the growing Latino community in Rochester; however the group currently serves people of all ethnic backgrounds.

With a broken heart, she also an-

nounced her soon-to-come retirement during the event.

In addition, retired army specialist and “Dancing with the Stars” winner Jose Rene “J.R.” Martinez was featured as the keynote speaker for the gala.

Martinez spoke about the challenges he faced growing up in a home with a single parent, as well as an accident he experienced while serving with the US Army in Iraq in 2003.

After his vehicle was hit by an impro-vised explosive device (IED), Marti-nez was trapped, and suffered severe burns over 40 percent of his body.

Following his recovery, Martinez has continued to travel around the coun-try as a motivational speaker for vet-erans groups, schools, and other orga-nizations.

Ultimately, Martinez’s speech con-veyed his strength, courage, and goals.

Hilda Rosario Escher ha anunciado que renunciará a su cargo como presidenta y directora ejecutiva de la Liga de Acción Iberoamericana a fines de este año.

“He estado en Ibero la mayor parte de mi vida adul-ta”, dijo Escher. “Cuando me mudé por primera vez a Rochester desde Puerto Rico, me inscribí en el Pro-grama de Capacitación Secretarial Bilingüe de Ibero para aprender inglés y permanecí en Ibero como empleada. Nunca podría haber imaginado que sería tan afortunada de liderar algún día la agencia que esencialmente me dio mi inicio en Rochester “.

Escher llegó por primera vez a Rochester en 1974 y, luego de inscribirse en el programa de inglés de Ibero, más tarde fue contratada como coordinadora del Programa de Capacitación Secretarial Bilingüe; luego pasó a liderar la división de Discapacidades del Desarrollo de la organización, antes de ser nom-brada presidenta en 2006.

La agencia de servicios humanos en dos idiomas se lanzó en 1968 con solo $ 5,000, dijo Escher, sirviendo solo a un puñado de residentes.

Hoy, Ibero opera con un presupuesto de aproxima-damente $ 13 millones, emplea a más de 280 per-sonas y atiende a más de 20,000 personas por año.

Además, la organización también lanzó reciente-mente WEPL (El Poder Latino / Poder Latino) 97.1 FM, la primera estación de radio de doble idioma en Rochester, y celebrará su 50 ° Aniversario en su cer-emonia anual de premios de becas en junio.

“En mi época como miembro de la junta, he visto la pasión de Hilda por nuestra comunidad, nuestros clientes y nuestros empleados”, afirmó el presidente de la junta directiva de Ibero y director de operacio-nes de RGRTA, Miguel Velázquez. “Es esta pasión y su dedicación a Ibero lo que ayuda a impulsar nues-tra misión para encender el potencial de las perso-nas y las familias para prosperar y fortalecer a la co-munidad”.

Ibero también encabezó la respuesta para trasladar a las familias puertorriqueñas a Rochester después del huracán María.

De hecho, la organización ha ayudado a más de 3,000 personas a mudarse al área desde que el hura-cán devastó la isla el año pasado.

“No creo que nadie haya podido prever lo que le su-cederá a nuestra hermosa isla cuando llegue el hura-cán María”, dijo Escher. “Como nativo de Puerto Rico, fue absolutamente desgarrador, y más aún para ver cuántas familias se han quedado sin nada más que la ropa que llevan puesta. Es nuestra responsabilidad como agencia de servicios humanos bilingüe y como comunidad, responder a las necesidades de estas fa-milias “.

Escher permanecerá con Ibero hasta el 31 de diciem-bre, y luego al retirarse, planea pasar más tiempo con la familia.

“Al contemplar mi decisión de renunciar, decidí que

2018 era el año correcto para hacerlo”, dijo. “Sé que he hecho todo lo posible para llevar a la agencia por un camino exitoso, y confío en la capacidad del personal actual y futuro para continuar cumpliendo nuestra misión”.

Ibero CEO, Hilda Rosario Escher, to ResignBy Staff –

Hilda Rosario Escher has announced she will resign from her position as president and CEO of the Ibero-Amer-ican Action League at the end of this year.

“I have been at Ibero for most of my adult life,” Escher said. “When I first moved to Rochester from Puerto Rico, I signed up for Ibero’s Bilingual Secre-tarial Training Program to learn Eng-lish, and stayed on at Ibero as an em-ployee. I could never have imagined that I would be so blessed to one day

lead the agency that essentially gave me my start in Rochester.”

Escher first came to Rochester in 1974, and, after enrolling in Ibero’s English program, she was later hired as coordi-nator of the Bilingual Secretarial Train-ing Program; then went on to lead the organization’s division of Developmen-tal Disabilities, prior to being named as president in 2006.

The dual-language human services agency was launched in 1968 with only $5,000, Escher said, serving only a handful of residents.

Today, Ibero operates with a budget of approximately $13 million, employs more than 280 people, and serves more than 20,000 people per year.

In addition, the organization also re-cently launched WEPL (El Poder La-tino/Latino Power) 97.1 FM, the first dual-language radio station in Roches-ter, and will celebrate its 50th Anniver-sary at its annual scholarship awards ceremony in June.

“In my time as a board member, I have seen Hilda’s passion for our communi-ty, our clients and our employees,” Ibe-ro board chair and RGRTA chief opera-tions officer Miguel Velazquez stated. “It’s this passion and her dedication to Ibero that helps drive our mission to ignite the potential of individuals and families to prosper and make the com-munity stronger.”

Ibero has also spearheaded the re-sponse to relocate Puerto Rican fami-lies to Rochester after Hurricane Ma-ria.

In fact, the organization has helped more than 3,000 individuals move to the area since the hurricane devastat-ed the island last year.

“I don’t think anyone could have foreseen what would happen to our beautiful island when Hurricane Ma-ria came through,” Escher said. “As a native of Puerto Rico, it was absolutely heartbreaking, and even more so to see how many families have been left with nothing but the clothes on their back. It is our responsibility as a dual-language human services agency, and as a community, to respond to the needs of these families.”

Escher will remain with Ibero through Dec. 31, and then, upon retiring, plans to spend more time with family.

“As I contemplated my decision to step down, I decided that 2018 was the right year to do it,” she said. “I know that I have done everything I can to lead the agency down a successful path, and I am confident in the ability of current and future staff to continue fulfilling our mission.”


The Trump White House does not see migrants as full human beings. They see them as a horde of in-vading pests.

Trump himself has recently used the word

“infestation” to describe immigrants from Mexico and Latin America.

That is why-despite his executive or-der- it doesn’t matter to his adminis-tration that children were separated from their families, and babies were detained. The children and babies are, in their minds, future rapists and mur-derers.

To Trump, they are like their parents: moochers, freeloaders, parasites, and aliens.

Regarding gang members specifically, but addressing all migrants, Trump

has stated on more than one occasion, “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people, these are animals, and we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before.”

Of course, this is not the first time the world has witnessed such blatant campaigns of dehumanization. Every genocide is founded on the premise that some superior group possesses humanity while another subhuman group is deemed inferior.

That’s why the Nazis referred to Jewish people as rats needing to be extermi-nated. That’s why the Hutu in Rwanda referred to the Tutsi as cockroaches. That’s why the Ba’ath Party in Iraq referred to the Kurds as dogs. That’s why Islamic fundamentalists refer to Americans as infidel snakes. Every war fought has been waged under a ban-ner of hatred towards the dehuman-ized other. By making families from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico into the other, the Trump White House has waved the banner of

hatred as high as their arms will reach.

The only force which can prevent hu-manitarian crises such as the one oc-curring on the border is for people of good faith and moral courage to stand up and resist. The Trump White House is not upholding the law with these policies. There is a moral law that every national law must obey. No, all Trump is doing is testing the will-power of the American citizenry. The president is straining to see how far he can go. If the American people let him get away with interning babies with-out their mothers, what will be next? Who will be next? Soon there will be detention centers for women who get abortions. Then there will be prisons for homosexuals. After that there will be incarceration camps for journalists who challenge the administration. Ul-timately every political opponent will be locked away. And, if you think you are safe, think again. If at any time you decide to speak out, there will be a special cell with your name on it.

When the Nazis came for the Commu-nists,I remained silent;I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social demo-crats,I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade union-ists,I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,I remained silent;I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,there was no one left to speak out.

Theatre Artistic Director Reenah Gold-en has recently celebrated the grand opening of the “Avenue Black Box Theatre,” at 780 Joseph Ave., and sev-eral city leaders joined Golden for the event.

Golden, a local poet, actor, community activist and educator, has opened the 60-seat multidisciplinary performing arts venue to provide arts education, entertainment, job-training in the arts, and community outreach in the north-east area of the city.

City Council President Loretta C. Scott; Council Vice President Adam McFad-

den; Allen Williams, director of the city’s Special Projects and Educational Initiatives; Neighborhood and Busi-ness Development Commissioner Bayé Muhammad; and Councilmembers Elaine Spaull, Jacklyn Ortiz, Michael Patterson and Mitch Gruber attended the occasion.

“I am so excited to bring the Avenue Black Box Theatre – theatre for ev-eryone – to a neighborhood that has not been served by the arts for far too long,” Golden said. “We know that exposure to arts education and ex-perience in the arts raises academic achievement, community pride, and

economic vitality in any community that embraces the arts, so I have no doubt that this theater will be a force for positive change in this neighbor-hood. I am so grateful to the many community partners and sponsors who have shared our vision from the beginning and given so generously to help us bring the blessing of the arts to people of Joseph Ave., and northeast Rochester.”

The theatre will also pave the way for more performing arts programs un-der development for the area, the city said, as well as provide extracurricu-lar arts-education programming for

neighborhood children.

“It gives me great pleasure to see the Avenue Black Box Theatre open on Joseph Avenue, to bring live theater and a rich selection of arts programs to northeast Roches-ter,” Mayor Lovely Warren stated. “I want to thank Reenah Golden, and all of her supporters for making this tremendous investment in our neighborhoods.”

La Directora Artística del Teatro Re-enah Golden ha celebrado reciente-mente la gran inauguración de la “Ave-nida Black Box Theatre”, en 780 Joseph Ave., y varios líderes de la ciudad se unieron a Golden para el evento.

Golden, una poeta, actora, activista comunitaria y educadora local, ha abi-erto el lugar multidisciplinario de artes escénicas con capacidad para 60 per-sonas para brindar educación artística, entretenimiento, capacitación laboral en las artes y alcance comunitario en el área noreste de la ciudad.

La presidenta del Concejo Municipal,

Loretta C. Scott; Vicepresidente del Consejo, Adam McFadden; Allen Wil-liams, director de proyectos especiales e iniciativas educativas de la ciudad; El comisionado de Desarrollo de Vecin-dad y Negocios, Bayé Muhammad; y los Concejales Elaine Spaull, Jacklyn Ortiz, Michael Patterson y Mitch Gru-ber asistieron a la ocasión.

“Estoy muy emocionada de estar a cargo de la Avenida Black Box Theatre. Este es un teatro para todos en un vecindario que no ha sido atendido por las artes por demasiado tiempo”, dijo Golden. “Sabemos que la exposición a la educación artística y la experiencia

en las artes aumenta los logros aca-démicos, el orgullo comunitario y la vitalidad económica en cualquier co-munidad que adopte las artes, así que no tengo dudas de que este teatro será una fuerza para un cambio positivo en este vecindario. Estoy muy agradecida con todos los socios y patrocinadores de la comunidad que han compartido nuestra visión desde el principio y que nos han brindado tan generosamente su apoyo para a llevar la bendición de las artes a las personas de Joseph Ave. y del noreste de Rochester “.

El teatro también allanará el camino para más programas de artes escéni-

cas en desarrollo para el área, dijo la ciudad, y proporcionará programación extracurricular de educación artística para los niños del vecindario.

“Me complace enormemente ver la Avenida Black Box Theatre abierta en Joseph Avenue, también traer teatro en vivo y una rica selección de pro-gramas de arte al noreste de Roches-ter”, dijo la Alcaldesa Lovely Warren. “Quiero agradecer a Reenah Golden, y a todos sus seguidores por hacer esta tremenda inversión en nuestros vecindarios”.

El asma es una enfer-medad que causa que las vías res-p i r a t o r i a s se inflamen, e st re c h e n , y produzcan más muco-

sidad de lo habitual. Esto puede difi-cultar la respiración y provocar tos, sibilancia y dificultad para respirar. No está claro por qué algunas perso-nas contraen asma y otras no, pero es probable que se deba a una com-binación de factores ambientales o genéticos. Esta enfermedad no se pu-ede curar, pero sus síntomas pueden

controlarse.

Los signos y síntomas incluyen: Fal-ta de aliento, opresión o dolor en el pecho, tos o sibilancia, dificultad para dormir causada por dificultad para respirar, fatiga con actividades.

Los desencadenantes del asma pu-eden ser diferentes de persona a per-sona: Sustancias suspendidas en el aire, como polen, ácaros del polvo, es-poras de moho, caspa de mascotas o partículas de desechos de cucarachas, enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofági-co (ERGE), infecciones respiratorias, como el resfriado común o la gripe, emociones fuertes y estrés, actividad física (asma inducida por el ejercicio), temperaturas frías, contaminantes e irritantes en el medio ambiente como humo o smog, ciertos medicamentos, incluidos beta bloqueadores, aspirina,

ibuprofeno, los ulfitos y conservantes agregados a algunos tipos de alimen-tos y bebidas.

Es importante saber que un ataque de asma severo puede poner en peligro la vida.

Hable con su médico si cree que tiene asma, si sus síntomas empeoran, tiene dificultad para respirar cuando realiza una actividad física mínima o si no mejora, incluso después de usar un in-halador de alivio rápido, como albuter-ol. El tratamiento adecuado hace una gran diferencia en la prevención de complicaciones a corto y largo plazo causadas por el asma.

Las complicaciones del asma incluyen:

1. Síntomas que interfieren con el sueño, el trabajo o las actividades

recreativas 2. Días de enfermedad del tra-bajo o la escuela durante los brotes de asma 3. Estrechamiento permanente de los tubos bronquiales (remodel-ación de las vías respiratorias) que af-ecta lo bien que puede respirar. 4. Visitas a la sala de emergen-cias y hospitalizaciones por ataques de asma severos. 5. Efectos secundarios del uso a largo plazo de algunos medicamen-tos utilizados para estabilizar el asma grave. Prevención: Vacúnate contra la gripe y la neumonía, identificar y evitar los desencadenantes del asma, aprenda a reconocer sintomas de un ataque de asma como tos leve, sibilancia o difi-cultad para respirar, tome sus medica-mento recetados, identifique y trate los ataques de asma temprano.

El Asma

By Laura Toribio Overstreet FNP

Asthma is a condition in which your airway narrows, swells, and produces extra mucus.

This can make breathing difficult, and trigger coughing, wheezing, and short-ness of breath.

It isn’t clear why some people get asthma and others don’t, but it’s prob-ably due to a combination of environ-mental or genetic factors.

This illness cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled.

The signs and symptoms of asthma in-clude: shortness of breath, chest tight-ness or pain, coughing or wheezing, difficulty sleeping (caused by short-ness of breath), or fatigue with activi-ties.

Asthma triggers may also be different from person to person.

Airborne substances, such as pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, or particles of cockroach waste, Gas-troesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), respiratory infections, such as the common cold or Flu, strong emotions and stress, physical activity (exercise-induced asthma), cold air, air pollut-ants and irritants, such as smoke or smog, sulfites and preservatives added to some types of foods and beverages can all be triggers for asthma.

Certain medications like beta blockers, aspirin, or ibuprofen, may also be trig-gers.

It’s important to know that severe

asthma attacks can be life-threatening.

Talk to your doctor if you think you have asthma; or if your symptoms get worse, you have shortness of breath when you are doing minimal physical activity, or if there is no improvement even after using a quick-relief inhaler, such as albuterol.

Proper treatment makes a big differ-ence in preventing both the short-term and long-term complications that can be caused by asthma.

Complications include:

1. Symptoms that interfere with sleep, work, or recreational activities;2. Sick days from work or school during asthma flare-ups;3. Permanent narrowing of the bronchial tubes (airway remodeling) that affects how well you can breathe;4. Emergency room visits and hospitalizations for severe asthma at-tacks;5. Or side effects from long-term use of some medications used to stabi-lize severe asthma.

Prevention: Get vaccinated for influen-za and pneumonia, identify and avoid asthma triggers, learn to recognize the warning signs of an impending attack, such as slight coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath, and take your medication as prescribed in an effort to identify and treat attacks early.

En dos cortos años, Voto Latino quiere registrar un millón de nuevos votantes. Voto Latino es un grupo comprometi-do con el empoderamiento y la par-ticipación de los latinos en la política. El lanzamiento de la nueva campaña se produce poco después de que el grupo agregue tres nuevos miembros, incluyendo el Sec. de Vivienda. Julian Castro, quien espera una candidatura presidencial propia para 2020.

Los otros dos que se unen al grupo son Sonal Shah y Brian Stansbury. Shah di-rigió la Oficina de Innovación Social y Participación Cívica de la Casa Blanca

bajo la presidencia de Barack Obama, y Stansbury es un abogado con sede en Washington D.C., cuya firma ha prometido servir como consejera pro-bono para Voto Latino.

Su nueva campaña se llama “So-mos Mas”, que se traduce a “We Are More”. Están planeando enfocarse en siete estados principales, incluyendo Texas, Florida, Nuevo México, Nevada, Arizona y California. Elegirán como ob-jetivo a 27 campus universitarios en su viaje. También planean apuntar digi-talmente a Georgia, Ohio, Pensilvania y Carolina del Norte.

“Le recuerdo gentilmente a la gente que una vez que los latinos se regis-tren, sus posibilidades de salir a vo-tar son del 80 por ciento”, dijo María Teresa Kumar, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de Voto Latino. “El juego se jugará en siete estados”.

El grupo planea gastar alrededor de $ 7 millones, y $ 4 millones han sido identificados hasta el momento. Ku-mar señaló que habrá aproximada-mente 12 millones de nuevos votantes jóvenes para su año objetivo de 2020, y dos tercios de ellos son personas de

color. También señala que el 60% de los latinos tienen menos de 33 años. Se predice que los milenials gastarán $1.4 trillones en viajes cada año en 2020. Esperemos que a este grupo de edad le importe tanto votar como lo hacen con los viajes, y 2020 ser un gran año por todos lados.

“Durante los próximos tres años, Voto Latino está volviendo a lo básico para otorgar el derecho de voto a los jóvenes latinos estadounidenses para que puedan participar plenamente en nuestra democracia en las urnas”, dijo Castro.

Nuevo Programa intenta registrar 1 millón de nuevos votantes para el2020

New Program Aims to Register 1 Mil-lion New Voters By 2020: Voto Latino

In two short years, Voto Latino wants to register one million new voters. Voto Latino is a group committed to empowering and engaging Latinos in politics. The roll-out for the new cam-paign comes shortly after the group adds three new members, including former Housing Sec. Julian Castro, who is hoping for a presidential bid of his own for 2020.

The other two joining the group are Sonal Shah and Brian Stansbury. Shah

ran the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation under President Barack Obama, and Stansbury is a lawyer based in Wash-ington D.C. whose firm has promised to serve as pro bono counsel for Voto Latino.

Their new campaign is called Somos Mas, which translates to We Are More. They are planning to focus on seven main states, including Texas, Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and California. They will target 27 college campuses on their journey. They also plan to digitally target Georgia, Ohio,

Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

“I gently remind people that once La-tinos register, their chance of coming out to vote is 80 percent,” said María Teresa Kumar, Voto Latino’s president and CEO. “The game is going to be played in seven states.”

The group is planning to spend around $7 million, and $4 million has been identified thus far. Kumar pointed out that there will be roughly 12 mil-lion new young voters by their target year of 2020, and two-thirds of them are people of color. She also points

out that 60% of Latinos are under the age of 33. Millennials are predicted to spend $1.4 trillion on travel every year by 2020. Let’s hope that this age group cares as much about voting as they do about travel, and 2020 will be a great year all around.

“For the next three years, Voto Latino is going back to basics to enfranchize young American Latinos so they can fully participate in our democracy at the ballot box,” Castro said.

Before last month’s shocking upset, many considered Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s candidacy to unseat Demo-cratic stalwart Joe Crowley a long shot at best. Ocasio-Cortez — a 28-year-old Latina and democratic socialist — ul-timately surprised pretty much every-one, blowing Crowley out of the water and dominating the New York primary with just under 58 percent of the vote.

Some of this surprise was warranted. Progressive candidates up until this recent primary haven’t seen many statewide wins. Crowley was a deep-ly entrenched player in the New York Democratic machine, and hadn’t even faced a primary challenger in over a decade. As recently as this past April, he was considered a top contender for speaker of the House if Democrats were to secure a “blue wave” this com-ing November.

But this reaction also points to some-thing a bit more insidious: The over-whelming shock at Ocasio-Cortez’s win suggested that few, including Crowley, had ever taken her candidacy — and the aspirations of a young woman of color — truly seriously.

Many media outlets missed Ocasio-Cortez’s candidacy

The New York Times is among the pub-lications that have picked up flak for coverage of Ocasio-Cortez’s candidacy — including from its former executive editor. While the paper mentioned Ocasio-Cortez in an editorial that took Crowley to task for sending a surro-gate to a primary debate, the Times

did not appear to feature her in any standalone stories.

Former Times executive editor Jill Abramson suggested this oversight was tantamount to the paper missing Trump’s win in 2016.

The Times itself highlighted this media gap, but did little to acknowledge its own role in it.

As the Times story indicates, although Ocasio-Cortez’s candidacy may have fallen under the radar for some, it was the focal point of several profiles on other sites, many of which typically reach younger readers. (Its framing of the publications in its piece has since spurred its own backlash.)

Refinery29 and Elite Daily both sat down with Ocasio-Cortez. The Inter-cept published a detailed profile last month. And Vogue pondered whether she was “the future of the Democratic Party.”

These pieces, which spotlight her Puerto Rican heritage, policy positions and work as a bartender and commu-nity organizer drew a sharp contrast with some of the coverage that took place even after the election — includ-ing a tweet from the Associated Press that neglected to include her name.

One of the main people who under-estimated Ocasio-Cortez: her own op-ponent

Crowley, who has long coasted to vic-tory in his district, seemed to indicate

how little he thought of his opponent when he couldn’t even bother to show to up to debates against Ocasio-Cortez earlier this year. He sent a surrogate to argue in his stead, prompting outcry from numerous members of the dis-trict.

Beyond these debates, Ocasio-Cortez sought to connect directly with vot-ers in the rapidly diversifying district: Her campaign outreach involved at least four languages including Spanish, Mandarin, and Bengali. This grassroots approach led to a $600,000 fundrais-ing haul generated heavily from small donations.

“Everything from our field to our mes-saging is an invitation to participate for the first time,” Ocasio-Cortez told the Huffington Post.

Crowley might not have seen her as a viable alternative, but voters clearly did.

This is part of a bigger trend of young women and people of color as forces who are reshaping the left./

Young women and people of color have long been questioned for their political heft, despite their roles as key organizers of grassroots protests like the widely popular Women’s March that took place after the election — not to mention the electoral power they have to help boost Democratic candidates. As a number of black women candidates have told the At-lantic, they’ve felt broadly ignored by the Democratic establishment even

after winning their primaries.

Young women are also among the vot-ers most likely to express an affinity to the left. As a Pew survey recently found, almost 70 percent of young women between the ages of 18-34 are leaning toward the Democratic candi-date in their district ahead of the mid-terms this fall, a major resource that the party can harness.
