<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No fue hasta casi el último año de preparatoria que Ángel López supo del tenis. Él estaba en el equipo de cross country, por lo que no le importaban demasiado las redes, raquetas y bolas brillantes de color verde.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pero la primera vez que sostuvo una raqueta, dijo que sintió la conexión con el deporte.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ”Fue muy divertido, como que me gustó”, dijo López.</p>

Community Economic Summit for a Better San Diego

    Have you ever wondered what a better San Diego would look like? After years of bad economic policies that favor the wealthy, developers, and corporations at the expense of everyone else, we are ready to see a San Diego with a strong local economy that works for everyone, and a just and fair society that provides every San Diegan with the opportunity to create a better life for themselves and their families.

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I have lived in Shelltown my whole life, 60 years. I was a part of the disgraceful history that this community has suffered, when it was split by CalTrans in the 70’s and then again by SEDC redevelopment renaming part of Shelltown to Southcrest in mid-80’s. Because of our unity efforts in organizing Shelltown, with the help of SDOP (San Diego Organizing Project) www.sdop.net, our dream of restoring our community is almost fulfilled.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Women’s Equality Day, August 26, is both a celebration of women’s progress and a reminder that equality remains a goal, not a reality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; On this day in 1920, women gained the right to vote under the 19th Amendment. Today, over 90 years later, the struggle to advance women’s rights is concentrated on the economic front — with an end to discrimination against women in the labor force a critical, and hotly-debated, objective.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I love America, and have proudly invested in America. I have invested by building successful businesses employing thousands of American workers. And I have invested in our country by paying taxes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; But our nation loses $100 billion a year to tax dodging by some of our largest corporations and wealthiest people. That’s a trillion dollar hole in our national treasury over the next decade unless we act now to plug it.</p>
