These advancements in safety technology build upon other features such as Mazda’s Active Driving Display and Adaptive Front-lighting System, which help the Mazda3 stand out among entry-level premium vehicles.

LOS ANGELES, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) announced the launch of Angelenos in Action: a voluntary weekly text survey that will help track and reduce the spread of COVID-19. Public Health encourages people to participate by enrolling in the simple text-based confidential survey, which will help the department better understand which communities and geographic areas most are impacted by the pandemic.

«Angelenos in Action is an easy way for people to get involved in helping us slow the spread of COVID-19, especially as LA County moves further into the re-opening phases,» said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. «Residents who participate will receive a short, weekly text survey asking if they are experiencing symptoms. The survey can be completed in under five minutes. The data collected from the confidential survey will help us see trends at the community level, which will allow us to better allocate resources to highly impacted communities.»

COVID-19’s toll has disproportionately affected many highly impacted communities, especially Black/African American, Latinx/Latino, and Native Hawaiian/Asian Pacific Islander populations. Historically, these communities are disproportionately affected by poor health outcomes as well as undocumented populations, frontline low wage workers, people experiencing homelessness (PEH), and justice-involved populations. This disproportionality is primarily the result of longstanding inequities in an array of health determinants, including limited access to health care (especially primary care) and limited access to affordable housing and nutritious foods.

«More can be done, and more coordinated approaches are needed to address the inequities we see in who is more at risk for severe COVID infections,» said Dr. Ferrer. «This survey gives Angelenos the opportunity to be a part of the LA County Road to Recovery. We all have a role in slowing the spread of COVID and this is one way people feel empowered to do their part.»

To sign up for Angelenos in Action, LA County residents over the age of 18 can text @PROTECT to 35134 or sign up online by clicking here. Residents will be prompted with five quick enrollment questions including zip code, age range, gender, race/ ethnicity, and cell phone number. Once enrolled, Public Health will text residents weekly with one question asking how the participant is physically feeling. If they are feeling unwell, residents will receive two more questions about COVID-19-like symptoms. Angelenos in Action is planned to track the COVID-19 pandemic for at least 20 weeks.

Survey data will be kept confidential and Public Health intends to provide only summary information on the data collected that will not include any individual identifiers. For more information on the survey, visit the Frequently Asked Questions.

The Department of Public Health is committed to promoting health equity and ensuring optimal health and well-being for all 10 million residents of Los Angeles County. Through a variety of programs, community partnerships and services, Public Health oversees environmental health, disease control, and community and family health.

OAKLAND, California, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Over 50 Minority Truckers will be filing a petition in support of a law-suit filed by Steven Fajardo, a retired Hispanic police officer, who has filed a taxpayer lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department  («OPD») and City of Oakland.  Steven Fajardo is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent the expenditure and waste of public funds in the unauthorized process used by the OPD which favors a single, large trucking partner of the Port of Oakland known as Dreisbach Enterprises.  The OPD allegedly issued Dreisbach secret, non-compliant permits needed for the operation of heavy weight trucks on the streets of West Oakland and within the Port. The lawsuit, filed in the Alameda Superior Court, is before Judge James Reilly in Case No. RG 20061840.

According to the lawsuit, a former OPD police officer (who is Caucasian) violated City ordinances when he unilaterally changed critical «Trailer Safety Requirements» from four tires per axle to only two tires per axle even though neither the current Chief of Police nor any predecessor had formally established any new or additional safety and equipment criteria for use in determining whether an operator’s overweight truck satisfies the safety requirements mandated by law. Neither the public nor any independent truck driver was ever notified of this potential or actual change nor was it posted on the Port’s website until four years later.

This secret change only occurred after the Port entered into a lucrative arrangement for the construction of a cold storage facility at the Port with a joint venture between Dreisbach and conglomerate Lineage Logistics.  These changes, made without critical public hearings and comment, allegedly allowed Dreisbach alone to receive special permits from the OPD to utilize special chassis which give Dreisbach a huge, disproportionate economic advantage over African American, Mexican American and other racial minority truckers at the Port.

Former Oakland City Council member and trucking industry expert Ignacio De La Fuente summed up the concerns of more than 50 independent minority truckers supporting the lawsuit as follows: «As if local law enforcement agencies have not done enough damage to the African American, Mexican American and minority communities, the OPD has clandestinely and unfairly rigged the system in favor of the City’s partner (Dreisbach) at the expense of small, minority, independent truckers trying to get by in this already economically challenging time.»

Mr. Fajardo is represented by Eduardo G. Roy, a prominent Bay Area, African American and Hispanic attorney, who cautioned: «It is time for the Oakland City Mayor and Acting Police Chief to immediately put the brakes on the Dreisbach’s illegal special permits and the improper favoritism, and investigate the systemic unfairness and disproportionate impact these illegal and unsafe policies and practices are having on our African American, Mexican American, and minority communities. We have uncovered much evidence to show the City before any further changes or policies are considered by the Acting Police Chief.» Mr. Roy is also representing Dreisbach competitor PCC Logistics and Pacific Transload Systems in a separate lawsuit against Dreisbach that has been pending since December of 2018 and is set for trial in February of next year in the Alameda Superior Court, Case No. RG18931876.

BOSTON, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — An alliance of industry-leading healthcare experts, today announced the launch of a new campaign and PSA called «Stop Medical Distancing.» Committed to helping Americans better understand the risks of not seeking medical attention for symptoms that would normally lead to visiting a healthcare provider or healthcare facility, the campaign draws a clear distinction between social distancing and medical distancing and underscores the preventive measures healthcare organizations now have in place to limit the spread of the virus, including the use of telemedicine.

Recent research published by GoodRx reports that more than 75% of Americans have had some aspect of their healthcare disrupted due to COVID-19. While people should continue to practice good hygiene, social distancing and mask wearing in public settings, it is critically important for people to continue talking to their healthcare professionals to get the care they need. Delaying care for a medical emergency, such as a heart attack or stroke, can be life-threatening or lead to serious complications. In children, delaying routine care, such as staying up to date on vaccinations or well-child visits that help to assess development and growth, can have negative consequences.

«We are seeing a troubling pattern that people are avoiding medical visits in fear of contracting COVID-19,» said William Shrank, M.D. and Chief Medical Officer of Humana. «While we understand the fears that many people have around contracting the virus, our country’s medical facilities have adopted CDC guidelines and best practices and even telemedicine options to make your visit as safe as possible to prevent the spread of the virus. The intent of the campaign is to let people know that protecting yourself against getting this virus does not need to come at the expense of your overall health.»

Every state has measures in place that work with safety in mind and make it possible for consumers to keep their appointments, whether via telehealth or in person. Telemedicine is a great option to determine if an in-person visit is necessary. Individuals are encouraged to follow guidance from local officials, and their healthcare provider.

Members of the alliance include Baptist Health South Florida, Baylor Scott & White Health, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Health Mart, Humana, Kindred Healthcare, LabCorp, McKesson Corporation, Providence and Walgreens. Advertising agency MullenLowe U.S and media agency Mediahub, worked closely with the alliance to develop the pro bono campaign’s strategy, creative and media plan.

«Stop Medical Distancing is such an important message for people to hear right now. It’s simple, memorable and, most importantly, actionable,» said Jeff Vermeersch, Creative Director at MullenLowe U.S. Karen Goodman, Creative Director at MullenLowe U.S. added: «Our design and typography was inspired by the tape being used to help enforce social distancing in public spaces across the country. We applied it to medical distancing to help create a powerful visual that we hope will resonate with people.»

Through a multi-channel marketing approach that incorporates TV, print, social, digital, PR and out of home, the campaign will strive to better inform the public around the strict protocols healthcare facilities have in place to protect against the spread of COVID-19 and caution against the unnecessary risks people are taking by avoiding their healthcare providers or delaying emergency care as a result of medical distancing.
