La postura de nuestra coalici\u00f3n es que Fall River y New Bedford deber\u00edan estar completos y unidos en un solo distrito del Congreso para maximizar el impacto que las comunidades de inter\u00e9s pueden tener a la hora de elegir e influir en sus miembros del Congreso.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0Si analizamos toda la Commonwealth, las ciudades de acceso que comparten problemas y proximidad regional se mantienen en los mismos distritos del Congreso: Springfield, Holyoke y Pittsfield; Lowell, Lawrence, Methuen y Haverhill; Gardner y Fitchburg; y m\u00e1s.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0Pedimos respetuosamente a este Comit\u00e9 que haga lo mismo con Fall River y New Bedford; que los mantenga unidos y los una en el Distrito Congresional 9.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0Est\u00e1 muy bien documentado que Fall River y New Bedford tienen mucho en com\u00fan: la mayor concentraci\u00f3n de portugueses estadounidenses en todos los Estados Unidos, mayores poblaciones de personas de color, una visi\u00f3n compartida para el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico y la recuperaci\u00f3n de la pandemia, estatus de ciudad de entrada y una larga lista de necesidades compartidas que la mayor\u00eda de las otras comunidades del Distrito Congresional 4 no experimentan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0Como lo muestra nuestro Mapa de Unidad, es posible crear un Distrito Congresional 9 que incluya tanto a New Bedford como a Fall River, uniendo dos ciudades de acceso con tantos intereses compartidos, de una manera que no afecte al Distrito Congresional 7, de mayor\u00eda minoritaria, al norte.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSi bien pronto escuchar\u00e1n a muchos expertos locales que pueden hablar directamente sobre el beneficio de mantener juntos a Fall River y New Bedford en el Distrito Congresional 9, concluir\u00e9 diciendo esto: los votantes deben elegir a sus pol\u00edticos. Los pol\u00edticos no deben elegir a sus votantes. Ha habido mucha cobertura en la prensa durante la \u00faltima semana que ha dado plataforma a las opiniones de los legisladores federales, estatales y locales. Fue desafortunado ver que parte de esto se desarrollara con un tono de finalidad, a pesar de que el proceso de participaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica no hab\u00eda concluido y el mapa a\u00fan no se hab\u00eda votado.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0Estamos muy agradecidos por la audiencia p\u00fablica de hoy, ya que dar\u00e1 una plataforma a las voces de la gente com\u00fan que ha estado trabajando y organiz\u00e1ndose para empoderar a New Bedford y Fall River durante la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada y volver\u00e1 a hacerlo en la pr\u00f3xima d\u00e9cada. Con mucho trabajo por hacer por Fall River y New Bedford ante el Congreso y la Corte General, esperamos que sus voces se escuchen alto y claro hoy, ya que representan mejor a las comunidades de inter\u00e9s y la voluntad del pueblo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGracias."<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nTODAY: Committee on Redistricting to Hold Hearing on Draft Congressional Maps -
