Enrique Acevedo, presentador de noticias de En punto, ofrece un mordaz análisis de las desigualdades a las que se enfrentan los trabajadores latinos en Estados Unidos.
En marzo de 2020, los estadounidenses de todo el paÃs se quedaron en casa preocupados por su salud y su seguridad, pero un grupo de trabajadores se enfrentó a lo desconocido y salió a trabajar por necesidad y por el bien de todos. Estos trabajadores esenciales fueron considerados héroes, pero en su mayorÃa permanecieron sin nombre ni rostro y, en gran medida, no fueron compensados por el riesgo que asumieron. Lo que no se informó en su momento es que estos héroes eran, de manera desproporcionada, latinos.
Esencial explora los estragos que el COVID-19 provocó en la comunidad latina y revela el verdadero coste del continuo aumento de las disparidades sociales y económicas en Estados Unidos. Analizando las intersecciones entre los trabajadores esenciales, la desigualdad y la inmigración, Enrique Acevedo utiliza un periodismo mordaz y de investigación profunda para explorar la difÃcil situación exacerbada por el COVID-19 a la que se enfrenta la comunidad latina.
-----
From the En punto news anchor Enrique Acevedo comes a searing exploration of the inequities Latinx essential workers face in the United States.
In March of 2020, Americans across the nation stayed home in fear for their health and safety, but a selection of workers braved the unknown and went to work out of necessity and for the betterment of the whole. These essential workers were deemed heroes but remained mostly nameless and faceless and largely uncompensated for the added risk. What was not reported at the time was that these heroes were disproportionately Latino.
Essential explores the toll COVID-19 had on the Latino community and reveals the true cost of the continually growing social and economic disparities in the United States. Looking at the intersections between essential workers, inequity, and immigration, Enrique Acevedo uses cutting and in-depth journalism to explore the continued plight exacerbated by COVID-19 facing the Latino community.
