PFLUGERVILLE, Texas, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — COVID-19 testing startup Curative, Inc. today announced the opening of a new, CLIA-certified laboratory facility based in Pflugerville, Texas. The lab facility, which began operations in late September, processes COVID-19 test kits from across the State of Texas and provides patient results within 48-hours. The Pflugerville lab will significantly increase both availability and processing capacity for the state by 10,000 tests per day, using the company’s FDA EUA authorized oral fluid-based COVID-19 test.

«We’re excited to meet Texans wherever they are and provide innovative, reliable ways to get tested for COVID-19 through our easily accessible vans and walk-up kiosks,» said Fred Turner, CEO and co-founder of Curative. «Our unique, self-administered oral fluid swab test offers a painless, simple option with quick 24- to 48-hour results to Texans across the state. We’re also thrilled to set-up our third U.S. lab and bring new jobs to Pflugerville.»

The lab opens following the recent deployment of mobile testing units, including test kiosks, vans and mobile trailers across Texas to improve accessibility to testing in remote areas and vulnerable populations. Curative keenly understands the benefits and limitations of stationary and drive-through testing sites. Accordingly, Curative worked with the Texas Department of Emergency Management to mobilize its innovative vans and kiosks to provide testing to communities who may not have close access to COVID-19 testing. By the end of October, Curative plans to have over 20 testing units across Texas staffed for appointments every day of the week. Texans who would like to be tested can make an appointment at curative.com.

«We are proud to support the opening of Curative’s Pflugerville lab as our community plays a crucial role in increasing testing, making our region safer and bringing jobs to Pflugerville residents,» said Pflugerville Mayor, Victor Gonzales.

Curative selected Pflugerville as the home of its third lab facility because the ready-made lab enabled Curative to quickly begin operations. The talent pool in the area also ensures that staffing of the lab and testing facilities can be scaled rapidly. Through the new lab and testing units, Curative expects to create 250 new jobs across Texas. Curative has already employed 170 new Texas-based staff. Those interested in applying for a position can find more information online here: Indeed.com.

«We look forward to a long-standing relationship with Curative, not just during a pandemic, but as they continue to deliver new options for testing and immunizations,» said Amy Madison, executive director, Pflugerville Community Development Corporation. «Besides benefitting from the jobs and continued investment, Pflugerville will become the epicenter for rolling out fast, convenient and safe delivery options that contribute to a healthier Texas.»

«Testing is a key component to saving lives and livelihoods, and we have already seen benefits from Curative’s testing in Pflugerville,» said Shontel Mays, president & CEO, Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce. «The opening of the testing kiosks amplifies their efforts and shows their commitment to keeping our community healthy and safe. We welcome Curative, Inc. to Pflugerville and are grateful they are providing this much-needed service to our community.»

Since its founding in January, Curative has become one of the leading COVID-19 testing providers by testing over 4.5 million samples across the U.S. Curative also operates the country’s largest COVID-19 testing site at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles, testing approximately 6,000 people per day.

The company’s end-to-end COVID-19 testing solution is currently used by the Department of Defense, as well as the states of Alaska, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia (Atlanta and Savannah), Illinois (Chicago), Louisiana, Texas and Wyoming. With the opening of Curative’s lab in Pflugerville, the company will have the capacity to test one million samples per week.

About Curative
Curative began COVID-19 testing in early March 2020 upon realizing the urgent need for test development and production in the United States. Curative is currently operational within a CLIA-certified lab in San Dimas CA, Pflugerville, Texas, and Washington, D.C. Co-founded by CEO Fred Turner and comprised of a team of doctors, scientists, engineers, and health industry experts, Curative is rapidly scaling its simple-to-use and painless oral fluid COVID-19 tests to reach the groups most in need of testing.

TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2021 Honda Ridgeline is set to launch early next year with a bold redesign that reflects its rugged and versatile pickup truck capabilities. Equally at home on dirt and mud-strewn trails as it is on the highway or twisting mountain roads, the 2021 Ridgeline features standard V6 power, class-leading ride and handling, the segment’s largest interior for passengers and gear, a brilliantly versatile bed, and the best standard AWD model payload capacity.

«Truck enthusiasts have long recognized Ridgeline as an incredibly versatile and capable pickup, and now it’s got the rugged looks to match,» said Art St. Cyr, vice president of Auto Operations for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. «The Ridgeline signals a new direction for our light-truck designs, one that more effectively communicates all the hard work that goes into making Honda pickups and SUVs such proficient on- and off-road performers.»

Exterior Redesign
The 2021 Ridgeline features all-new sheet metal from the front roof pillars forward. Design changes include a new hood sporting a pronounced power bulge, and new front fenders that emphasize the squared-off nose and more upright grille, flanked by LED headlights updated for better illumination. Atop the grille is a crossbar that bisects the headlight lenses – gloss black on Sport trims and Black edition, chrome on RTL and RTL-E. Below, a new front bumper highlights the toughness of the new Ridgeline’s design and adds broad side vents that route air through the bumper and around the front tires and wheels, creating air curtains to improve aerodynamic performance. The body color is also extended farther down the front bumper, and a prominent skid plate emphasizes Ridgeline’s tough new look. In back, a reshaped bumper exposes aggressive new twin exhaust outlets.

All trims feature tougher looking 18-inch wheels with backspacing reduced 10 mm, increasing track width a total of 20 mm and lending the Ridgeline a broader, more planted stance, bolstered by all-season tires with a new, more aggressive sidewall and shoulder design.

For those looking to take Ridgeline’s dynamic new styling to the next level, a new package created in collaboration with Honda Performance Development (HPD) answers the call. The new HPD Package adds a unique grille treatment, black fender flares, aggressive bronze-colored wheels, and special HPD graphics on the bed walls. Part of a new group of post-production options (PPO), the package will be available on all Ridgeline trims and is one of four new PPO packages that include Utility, Function and Function+ packages.

Interior Upgrades
The 2021 Ridgeline’s spacious cabin, which offers top-class passenger comfort and rear-seat legroom, receives an updated Display Audio system with crisp new graphics, easier-to-use touchscreen icons, and a physical volume knob. In addition, Ridgelines in Sport trim add new cloth seat inserts, all trims get new contrast stitching on the seats, and Sport, RTL and RTL-E trims have new dash, steering wheel and center console accents. Ridgeline’s flat floor and foldaway 60/40-split rear seat bottoms continue to offer enhanced flexibility for carrying long and tall items in the cabin.

Fully Automatic Torque-Vectoring AWD
Standard on every 2021 Honda Ridgeline is a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter direct-injected VTEC^® V6 backed by a smooth and responsive 9-speed automatic transmission. Available on Sport and RTL, and standard on RTL-E and Black Edition, is Ridgeline’s i-VTM4^® torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system, which automatically sends up to 70 percent of the engine’s 262 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels and continuously apportions 100 percent of that torque between the left and right rear wheels based on driving conditions at each wheel. The Intelligent Traction Dynamics System, standard on all Ridgelines, optimizes power delivery and distribution for various conditions including snow and pavement for 2WD models, while Ridgelines equipped with i-VTM4^® get additional selectable modes for mud and sand.

Ridgeline-Exclusive Platform Design
Underpinning its extraordinary packaging, hauling and driving character is Ridgeline’s unit-body construction, featuring Honda’s proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure and fully boxed frame members for the body sides and rear tailgate frame with truss-style inner construction, plus a robust fully independent rear suspension. This unique construction pays dividends with uncompromised ride comfort and handling on paved roads, while supporting a best-in-AWD class standard 1,580-pound payload capacity and up to 5,000-pound towing capacity.

Ridgeline’s extra-wide stance enables an extra-wide standard bed, making it the only truck in its class that can flat-carry 4-foot wide items, such as plywood and drywall, between the wheel wells. Based on the packaging efficiency of its unibody construction and independent rear suspension, Ridgeline also comes standard with a washable, lockable In-Bed Trunk^®, offering an additional 7.3 cu.-ft. of secure storage space under the bed floor.

Ridgeline’s versatility as a cargo-hauling platform is enhanced by its Dual-Action Tailgate, which opens downward or to the side, making access to cargo and the In-Bed Trunk^® a snap. The tailgate can handle dynamic loads of up to 300 pounds, supporting long payloads such as motorcycles and ATVs. Inside the bed are eight standard tie-down cleats rated at 350-pounds each, for securing loads, and the bed is constructed of glass fiber-reinforced SMC composite that resists dents and scratches without the need for a separate bed liner.

An available In-Bed Audio system utilizes four «exciters» to turn Ridgeline’s entire bed into an outdoor speaker (RTL-E and up trims). Combined with its Dual Action Tailgate and In-Bed Trunk, which can do double duty as an ice-filled cooler, Ridgeline is a great tailgating companion.

Safety & Driver-Assistive Technology
Ridgeline comes standard with the Honda Sensing^®, featuring Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

The 2021 Ridgeline targets top-class collision safety ratings from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including an NCAP 5-star Overall Vehicle Score, a GOOD rating in all IIHS collision tests, and a SUPERIOR IIHS rating for front crash prevention.

Design and Manufacturing
The 2021 Honda Ridgeline was designed and developed by Honda R&D Americas in California and Ohio, and is manufactured along with its V6 engine at the Honda plant in Lincoln, Alabama using domestic and globally-sourced parts. For the 4^th straight year, the Ridgeline ranked in the top 10 in the 2020 Cars.com American Made Index.

More information about the 2021 Ridgeline, including prices and detailed specifications, will be available closer to its on-sale date early next year.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Young voters of color say they are headed to the polls in November because they want to see change around systemic inequality and racism, according to a series of focus groups and findings from a recent poll released today by Advancement Project National Office. The data was collected as a part of the organization’s Young Voters of Color Get Out the Vote Campaign. The campaign, which launches today, aims to motivate and mobilize young people of color—recognizing that Black, Brown, Native American and Asian American voters will make up one third of all eligible voters in 2020.

The nationally survey of 1,915 eligible Black, Latinx, Native and Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) voters ages 18-24 years old, found that young people of color were best motivated to vote with bold messages centering the issues they care most about: racism and systemic inequality.

«Young voters like me are anxious to get to the November election and are scrambling to understand the voting environment,» said Kelsey Perine a senior at Southern University and A & M College and member of Advancement Project’s Young Voters of Color Advisory Committee. «For young people, it can be hard to register in states like Louisiana and it can be challenging to sift through information to learn what is true and untrue. We need to hear about the issues we care about and what to do if we get turned away from the polls.»

Key findings of the national polling (margin of error +/- 3%) and three focus groups including the following:

• The top issues motivating young voters to cast a ballot this November are: racial justice, the coronavirus pandemic and police brutality.
• Concerns about coronavirus exposure, confusion about new voting methods, worries about the post office, and lack of awareness of vote-by-mail are indicate more education is needed on how to vote.
• While young people of color are broadly skeptical of the nation’s political system, they remain engaged in their communities: 27% of respondents reported they had protested this year and 25% reported volunteering their time with a nonprofit or charity in 2020.
• Qualitative data shows many feel very much left out of the political process and conversation.
• Messaging describing voting as a «duty of all citizens in a democracy» resonated the least with young voters of color.

«Young people of color have led the racial justice movement this summer with significant wins around policing. They are leading racial justice campaigns in the streets and intend to vote on the issues that mean the most to their communities this fall,» said Judith Browne Dianis, Executive Director of Advancement Project National Office.

Survey results indicate that seventy-eight percent (78%) of young voters of color have taken one or more political actions this year including signing a petition, posting or sharing content online, and protesting. One in four said they had participated in a protest. 

«National, state and local groups reaching out to young people of color during the election season should talk explicitly about racism, injustice and inequality,» Jorge L. Vasquez Jr., Power and Democracy Program Director at Advancement Project National Office.  «We must continue educating young voters about how to safely and securely cast a ballot in 2020. Clear communications about available voting options will help address their understandable anxiety about unfamiliar voting methods and COVID-19 exposure at the polls.»

Advancement Project National Office’s Young Voters of Color Get Out the Vote digital campaign will focus on reaching and helping to educate low-propensity young voters of color, first-time voters, and young voters of color who are eligible to vote but are currently unregistered.

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «Together We Win» | «Juntos Ganamos», a campaign geared towards encouraging consumers to support small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, is collaborating with The Rockefeller Foundation Opportunity Collective (ROC) to expand its nationwide efforts and deepen its long-term commitment to help those Black and Latino-owned businesses in need and the communities in which they reside. A specific focus of this effort are those underrepresented small businesses employing the most vulnerable groups affected by COVID-19. This effort will complement the initial pledge of «Together We Win» and provide support to more than 10 cities across the United States, and builds on Hispanic in Philanthropy’s PowerUp Fund efforts, funded by Google.org, to directly support hundreds of Latino-owned SMBs with access to capital and the training they need to overcome the economic downturn and continue to grow.

ROC aims to catalyze public and private sector investment in places to promote more inclusive growth, both in the post-pandemic recovery and over the long term, and is an ideal partner for «Together We Win» as it allows the campaign to focus on those cities and communities home to Black and Latino-owned SMBs most affected including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, El Paso, Houston, Louisville, Miami, Newark, Norfolk and Oakland. The Rockefeller Foundation has pledged an initial $10 million, which it will allocate to a collective of government, business, faith-based, and non-profit partners in these 10 cities, all of which have two core goals: protecting communities and eliminating barriers to access capital and credit among low wage workers and small businesses operated by women, Black and Latino owners.

«We are excited by the renaissance of partners interested in supporting BIPOC entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is a demonstrated means to economic independence. This investment supports the ability of Latinx entrepreneurs, who have opened businesses at almost double the rate of business openings for any other demographic group in recent years. They are critical to the local and national economies – providing jobs and local essential goods and services to low income or vulnerable groups. This investment furthers our goal of helping these vulnerable enterprises stabilize, scale, and grow to the benefit of their families and communities,» said Gregory Johnson, Director, U.S. Equity and Economic Opportunity, The Rockefeller Foundation.

The «Together We Win» campaign, created by Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP), Ureeka and  The Flo Lab, was launched in June 2020, and has since succeeded in identifying Black and Latino-owned SMBs needing support, providing them with the tools to aid them in their recovery and prosperity through the pandemic and for years to come. With a focus on traditional small businesses, the objective of the campaign and this partnership is not purely financial, but rather intended to empower business owners by giving them access to resources to benefit their SMBs and local communities. From encouraging them to have conversations with policymakers, key opinion leaders, local organizations and financial institutions, to showing them how opening a dialogue and getting involved will help foster a greater understanding of what is available, how «Together We Win» can help, and ultimately equip them to make vital business decisions with lasting impact.

«When we conceived ‘Together We Win’, we wanted to create more than a campaign – we wanted a movement, a seismic shift – to help businesses recover and regain their footing now in the short term, while providing them with the tools and resources to stay open and prosper in the long term,» said Nancy Santiago, Co-Founder of the PowerUp Fund, HIP Senior Advisor. «Now with the endorsement of The Rockefeller Foundation Opportunity Collective and Google.org, we have additional means to really extend our reach and make a sizable impact on hard hit communities at a national level.»

Get Involved, Together We Win!

Help support this community of SMBs through various programs, resources and financial solutions that position each for sustainability and growth – not just survivability. Among those benefiting from the campaign are Liliana Monge of Sabio and Alejandro Flores-Muñoz of Unum Sunglasses, among others. Visit the «Together We Win» Business Hub to find a Black or Latino-owned SMB you can support. #ShopBlack #ShopLatino

The «Together We Win» campaign believes in the power of community and invites individuals to participate to help amplify their message of support, as well as initiatives for the Black and Latino business community.

As the campaign evolves, «Together We Win» aims to be a reliable and comprehensive resource for SMBs as well as individuals, brands and corporations. The «Together We Win» website serves as a central hub for communities, businesses and benefactors, providing critical information about campaign operations. From success stories to campaign achievements and a myriad of ways to get involved – those seeking to join the movement can find additional information online at www.togetherwewin.info. To learn more, join the conversation online by ‘liking’ and ‘following’ the «Together We Win» campaign on Facebook and Instagram, and use #TogetherWeWin.
