☆ Get them on social media and keep it authentic, Gen-Z consultants advise candidates
  + stars: | 2022-11-05 | by ( Irie Sentner | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +4 min
“The Gen Z electorate can make or break the election in some of our key races,” said Ashley Aylward, 26, a research manager at HIT Strategies, a Washington-based public opinion research firm focusing on youth and minority voters. The firm was started in 2019 “because we were seeing so many political operatives kind of just dismissing the emerging electorate — young people, people of color,” she said. As more of Gen Z reaches voting age, experts have advised candidates to change their strategies to appeal to new voters. Experts said social media — and TikTok specifically — are key in strategizing for the Gen Z vote in the 2022 election. Experts emphasized that Gen Z cares about authenticity and casualness; candidates can “miss the mark” when they “don’t use the language that young people do," Aylward said.

The first Latino from California elected to Congress since 1879, he would become one of the most influential Latino politicians on Capitol Hill. “The white establishment of that time was not happy that a Latino was elected to the City Council,” Roybal-Allard said. The Dream Act has since gone through 11 variations and has been stuck in the Senate since. As the Dream Act stalled in Congress, President Barack Obama in 2012 announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as DACA, through an executive order. Asked how she wants to be remembered after her retirement at the end of this Congress in January, Roybal-Allard focused on the work.

☆ Latino meteorologist helps create better weather terms in Spanish.
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Albinson Linares | Noticias Telemundo | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +9 min
For meteorologist Joseph Trujillo, the right translation is more than a language issue, especially when it comes to weather-related warnings. A NOAA assessment revealed a lack of weather-related resources in the Spanish language that could have helped communities take action to save lives. But those linguistic differences can bring great challenges when translating emergency information, such as weather alerts, for all Hispanic people. They designed a new list of categories that better reflect the risk of climate emergencies in simpler terms: minimum, low, moderate, high and extreme. That first experience led him to pursue meteorology and his investigative work, which he presented to the National Weather Service.
☆ I work a second job to pay off $86,000 in student-loan debt. The cancellation helps, but I'll never get my 20s back.

Sarah had $86,000 in student loans by the time she graduated and qualifies for forgiveness. All the money I'd paid had gone toward the interest on the loans, and that really freaked me out. I ended up taking a second job as a contract worker to pay my loans. My brother is laser-focused on graduating and getting into his chosen field, so I think student debt is the last thing on his mind right now. Even if one day I paid off all my loans and 30 days later, all student loans were forgiven, I would still be happy.
☆ Gen Z mistrusts everything — big business, government, other people, you name it
  + stars: | 2022-08-25 | by ( Daniel Cox | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
With that question, The Washington Post's technology columnist, Taylor Lorenz, kicked off a recent Aspen Institute panel entitled "Can Gen Z Trust Their Elders?" Across the board, members of Gen Z are less inclined to trust major institutions than their elders are. Add all these factors up, and Gen Z is looking more and more like it will become permanently mistrustful. Why doesn't Gen Z trust anyone? According to a report by Edelman, seven in 10 members of Gen Z say "they will fact-check" any claim made by a business or advertiser.
☆ How an Xprize-winning group developed an AI assistant to help African farmers increase their crops and adapt to the climate crisis
  + stars: | 2022-08-10 | by ( Sarah Belle Lin | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
Penn State's PlantVillage uses technology solutions and field teams to increase farmers' crop yield. As warming temperatures spawn more crop pests, groups, including PlantVillage, are increasingly using artificial intelligence to protect agriculture. Each year, plant diseases cost the global economy more than $220 billion, while invasive insects cost at least $70 billion. The climate crisis increases crop diseases and pests — like the desert locust, which could spread because of warming temperatures. Farmers are encouraged to plant trees with biochar, a soil additive that can store carbon dioxide for centuries.

Ellie Dressler, 20, works as a "cart girl" on a golf course, serving drinks. We're all over the app — young women who make their living driving a bar cart around a golf course and serving the golfers beverages. Then I drive around the golf course all day and serve people drinks. I've started doing a series on TikTok called "Ridiculous But True Stories of a Golf Cart Girl." Not bad for a cart girl.
