program encourages Hispanics to participate in public
policy decision-making by
introducing them to the
policy-making process
MALDEFs three policy-
analysts are based in Washington D C . Sacramento,
California, and Austin/San
Antonio, Texas. The policies
made in these capital cities
affect the vast majority of
Hispanics in this country
MALDEFs policy analysts
research the effects of proposed policy on the Hispanic
community, conduct public
education on policy issues
and serve as a resource to
policy-makers on Hispanic
issues
Washington, D.C.
Public education problems
have reached crisis proportions for Hispanics who suffer
from a 49% high school
dropout rate Understanding
the growing need for a skilled
and educated work force,
MALDEFs Washington, D.C,
policy analyst Martha limenez
worked to raise national
awarem >f the need to
improve education for
Hispanics. limenez presented
testimony before the Department of Education on Hispanic higher education
concerns and formed a
coalition of organizations
to plan for the upcoming
reauthorization of the Higher
Education Act in 1992. In
addition, limenez regularly
briefed the staff director of
the President's newly-created
national Task Force on
Hispanic Education on
MALDEFs proposals to
improve education for
Hispanics, such as increasing
the numbers of bilingual
education teachers and dropout prevention programs
With a number of English-
only" policy proposals in the
nation's capital threatening
the rights of language minorities, limenez also educated
the public on the importance
of language diversity In
numerous television and
radio interviews limenez
explained how language
restrictions are dangerous to
public safety and jeopardize
basic employment, voting and
education rights for many
Hispanics
Sacramento, California
In the state with the largest
Hispanic population, California, MALDEF's policy analysts. Eric Vega and his
successor Dennis Lopez,
had a full range of issues
to address.
Vega assisted the California
Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH)
in organizing a successful
hearing on immigration-
related employment discrimination. Vega testified at the
hearing, explaining how the
new immigration control law
discriminates against Hispanics who are eligible to work,
including citizens and legal
residents. As a result of the
hearing, the California DFEH
concluded that the law had
caused widespread employment discrimination
Set-aside programs, which
provide a portion of government contracts to minority-
owned businesses, help
Hispanic businesses thrive
and promote Hispanic
economic growth. But a 1989
Supreme Court decision
questioned the validity of
such programs Vega testified
before state policy-makers on
the need to retain minority
set-aside programs to remedy
identified discrimination.
San Antonio/Austin, Texas
Texas policy analyst Gloria
Moreno monitored the historic
merger of wealthy public
college and university systems
throughout the state with
several poor South Texas
colleges and universities
A MALDEF lawsuit prompted
policy-makers to adopt the
merger, which will provide
for the first time a range of
graduate programs in colleges
and universities that primarily
serve Mexican Americans
Both Moreno and her
successor R Elena Ri'os
analyzed and monitored
ludicial selection reform
measures for state policymakers, and concluded that
increasing the number or
ludges appointed rather than
elected, would be harmful to
Hispanics who are under-
represented in appointment-
making positions Moreno
and Ri'os educated the
community on the need to
elect ludges to ensure that
Hispanics have a voice in the
selection process
