Salma Hayek Helps Launch 'Latinos for Hillary'
/
Actor, influencer and women’s rights activist Salma Hayek stepped up for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race.
“We are one of the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing groups in the United States of America,” Hayek wrote in announcing her support of Hillary. “We deserve a candidate who respects the contributions we have made to this country and understands how important it is that our community continues to thrive, all while treating us con dignidad y respeto.”
Latina reports that Hayek’s email also said:
“We cannot let hate and discrimination determine the outcome of this election,” Hayek said. “We owe it to the hard-working Latinos that came before us, to ourselves and to our children, to show the people who unfairly label us as criminals and speak down to us that our community is strong, meaningful and incredibly powerful.”

Hillary Clinton: Realist and Idealist
Speaking about Hillary Clinton to TIME 100, Laurene Jobs said:
Hillary Clinton is not familiar. She is revolutionary. Not radical, but revolutionary: The distinction is crucial. She is one of America’s greatest modern creations.
Her decades in our public life must not blind us to the fact that she represents new realities and possibilities. Indeed, those same decades have conferred upon her what newness usually lacks: judgment, and even wisdom.
Laurene for Dreamers
Through her work for College Track, Laurene Powell Jobs became deeply involved in the challenges of being undocumented in America. The result is that this powerhouse woman has become a leader in pushing the Dream Act, first introduced in 2001. In December 2012, Powell Jobs enlisted the help of the Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, asking him to make a short documentary about immigration. The two met through the making of Davis’ documentary ‘Waiting for Superman’, a film that examined the crisis in America’s public schools.
Powell Jobs needed a film to influence Congress in deliberations around an immigration bill.

JR Launches Walking New York With Massive Street Art Cover For New York Times Magazine
/
The New York Times Magazine shares their latest cover featuring a gigantic piece of street art by France’s JR. Photographed from a helicopter, the man walking is a massive wheatpasting located in the Flatiron Plaza next to Madison Square Park. JR’s street art launches a new initiative Walking New York where on a special interactive site, users can position a pin or enter an address to show the specific location of their favorite walk. In 500 characters, they can then share why that walk is meaningful to them. Select submissions will be published online throughout the coming weeks.
The young man on the cover is Elmar Aliyev, a 20-year-old waiter at Old Baku, an Azerbaijani restaurant in Brooklyn. Elmar immigrated to America last August after winning the green-card lottery. JR’s image was short-lived. Aliyev’s picture was pasted in Flatiron Plaza on April 11 over a period of 3 hours. JR went up in a helicopter to photograph the 150-foot image, a stunning testament to New York’s 3.1 million immigrants that was power-washed away by 9:30 pm. Read on.
