The Scramble to Pluck 24 Billion Cherries in Eight Weeks Every single one needs to be picked by hand — even in a pandemic. Seasonal workers say they may be essential, but they feel disposable.

Hola Leapers!

Please see links below regarding Covid-19 and our agricultural communities👇🏼‼️

‘In harm’s way.’ Tri-Cities agricultural workers bearing heavy COVID-19 burden “... in this country, that is a crime. We are a country with sufficient resources that everybody should be able to have the opportunity to achieve their best health.”

Dear Students:

The Latino Educational Achievement Program (LEAP) is reaching out to get your input about a potential LEAP Virtual conference. As we all know, unless we enter Phase 4 of Governor Inslee’s phase back policy, LEAP will not be able to hold a face-to-face annual conference that draws over 300 students and staff. As an alternative, LEAP is exploring the idea of conducting a virtual LEAP conference and we would like to get your opinion on this possibility. Attached is a very short survey to help us gauge interest. It will only take 1-3 minutes to complete. Thank you for your input.

Hola LEAPers!!

Please click on the links below to take this very important survey!

If you are Latina/o/x, Chicana/o/x, indigenous, and/or Afro-descended person with roots in Latin America, living in the U.S., we want to hear from you about your experiences dealing with mental health during this pandemic.



Can you please take a few minutes to share your experiences with us?

https://asupublicprograms.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5dULH0KBV87WGAR?emci=dfefb6c1-6cd7-ea11-9b05-00155d03bda0&emdi=51918741-6dd7-ea11-9b05-00155d03bda0&ceid=157760


The Beyond the Numbers survey will only take about 15 minutes to complete and your answers will help us do the following:


•Examine how Covid19 is impacting the mental health of the Latinx community as it intersects with all other aspects of our lives including class, race, gender, identity, sexual orientation language, immigration status and many others.

•Understand the prevalent emotions that Latinx people are navigating in this moment of crisis as well as the ways in which they are creating their own care systems outside the state.

•Gather information that can aid organizations, service providers, government officials and all other advocates in shaping policy efforts and providing healing and health services.


If you have any questions about the survey, do not hesitate to contact LTAN at [email protected] or David Becerra at [email protected], 602-496-1194.


Our goal is to survey 5,000 Latinx individuals! Please help us reach that goal by forwarding this email to 10 people! Not in the habit of emailing your friends? That’s OK - Share this post on Facebook, or repost to your IG story! Use the shortlinks bit.ly/covid19latinxsurvey for English and bit.ly/covid19latinxencuesta for Spanish.
