The holiday season is upon us, and for many, that means it’s time to hit the road and travel for Thanksgiving.In 2016, AAA estimated that more than 48 million Americans were expected to travel for turkey day.According to the AAA Autumn travel guide, most travelers plan to stay within the United States, with Orlando, Southern California, Hawaii and New York being the most popular domestic travel destinations. 419

The pathway to higher education has never been without barriers. But trying to break through them during a pandemic can crack an already fragile foundation."I'm doing everything for my family so they feel proud of me and I can keep going forward and get a good job, so I don't end up in the fields," said 19-year-old Maria Salvador, who spoke in Spanish during the interview, which was later translated into English.Salvador is a first-generation college student attending Oxnard College in Ventura County, California. Born in the central coast of California, Salvador's parents came to the United States from Oaxaca, Mexico, and work in the fields. While long hours can reap little reward for migrant farmworkers, many work in hopes to pass down a better life for their children."They always tell me we have to keep studying, we have to keep learning and keep growing so that we can get a good job, so that we don't suffer the way they suffered," said Salvador.But studying was made more difficult by the lack of access to a laptop and the internet during her final year of high school. While the schools gave Salvador and her brothers and sisters hotspots, she said they often didn't work."It was always hard, because since I would use my mom's cell phone, sometimes she would take it with her and sometimes I couldn't do my homework," the teen said.And when the pandemic derailed the final months of her high school experience, Salvador and her sister worked in the fields to help their family."With the whole pandemic came a lot of financial hardships for families, where there wasn't before," said Sonya Zapien-Torres, the Tequio Youth Coordinator.Zapien-Torres works to get these students from the fields to college."Help them navigate this system because a lot of them are first-generation. They may not understand what are the requirements to get to graduate high school, you know, what classes do I need to take?" said Zapien Torres.She says virtual learning has made the process a lot harder."I would definitely want to be on campus. I wish the pandemic would end and everybody could get back to normal and go back to class. I wouldn't be having all of these problems with my studying. It's hard as it is," said Salvador. Heading into her first week of college, Salvador still did not have her own laptop and reliable internet, but the organization Mixteco Indígena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) was able to secure her a device. Mixteco leaders say donations to the organization help to fulfill these needs. It's an issue not unique to just Salvador and made even more complicated with a surge in demand for laptops.Around the country, the technology supply chain is struggling to keep up with the boom in demand. Research company NPD Group reports notebook computer sales grew 50 percent this summer.Around the country, schools and families are dealing with shipping delays, limited selections, and higher-than-usual costs."Our students are not only falling behind but then, they're getting graded for not showing up to these virtual classes where it's really not even up to them," said Zapien-Torres.Oxnard College serves a population of 60 percent first-generation students. In a survey, they found 20 percent of respondents don't have access to the internet, computers, or basic software programs. Despite challenges, they've been able to fulfill every laptop request.Organizations like Mixteco are working to keep vulnerable students on the path to higher education."They see the struggles of their families; working in the field is not something they want to do. They know by personal experience the hard labor of working in the fields, so they want to, and they aspire to grow from that," said Zapien-Torres. While the job of advocates has grown more complicated, their efforts may matter more now than ever before. 3847

The number of people casting an early ballot in the presidential election now surpasses those who voted early during all of 2016. That's more than 58.6 million people who have cast their ballot with eight days to go before Election Day. The total of early votes cast either in-person or by mail in 2016 was 58 million according to the Associated Press. According to the U.S. Election Project, a data collection project run by a professor at the University of Florida, the total number of votes cast so far for the 2020 election is roughly 43 percent of the total number of votes cast in the 2016 election including early votes and on Election Day. Democrats have been dominating early voting, but Republicans are slowly narrowing the gap. The opening of early voting locations in Florida, Texas and elsewhere has piled millions of new votes on top of the mail ballots arriving at election offices as voters try to avoid crowded places on November 3 during the coronavirus pandemic. President Donald Trump has convinced many of his supporters they should not vote with mail ballots. Over the weekend, the president voted early in-person in Florida. One out of every 4 of the voters is either new or infrequent, a sign of a potential record-setting turnout. 1264

The NCAA has announced Wednesday a series of major changes to college basketball in the hopes of eliminating corruption in the sport.The NCAA will now allow undergraduate students to participate in the NBA draft and return to school if they are not selected. Previously, players were allowed to attend the NBA combine but needed to withdraw 10 days prior to the draft in order to retain eligibility."Elite" high school prospects will now be permitted to be represented by an agent certified by the NCAA. According to CBS, USA Basketball will be tasked with choosing which prospects are considered "elite."The NCAA also announced major changes to the recruiting calendar, which the association hopes will allow recruits to attend more showcase events put on by high schools. Currently, apparel companies put on some of the most prestigious recruiting events.Finally, the NCAA will hold university presidents and chancellors personally accountable for their own athletics programs. The league declined to specify how the presidents and chancellors would be punished for the actions of their athletic departments.  1134

The Presidential Inaugural Committee, which consists of prominent Democrats helping to organize next month’s inauguration, are encouraging Americans to stay away from DC and watch the inauguration from home.The quadrennial inauguration of a president and vice president is typically attended by hundreds of thousands. The committee says in light of the pandemic, a large gathering should be avoided.While the committee said details will be released in the coming days, inauguration organizers said that the ceremony’s footprint will be extremely limited."Our goal is to create an inauguration that keeps people safe, honors the grand traditions of the Presidency, and showcases the Biden-Harris Administration’s renewed American vision for an inclusive, equitable, and unified citizenry,” said PIC CEO Tony Allen in a statement.While the organizers did not say the inauguration parade would be canceled, organizers said it would be “re-imagined.”Earlier this month, President-elect Joe Biden said he envisioned an inauguration akin to the virtual Democratic National Convention, which was held in August."First and foremost in my objective is to keep America safe but still allow people to celebrate," Biden said. "To celebrate and see one another celebrating."Other Inauguration Day events, such as the signing ceremony and luncheon the new president has with congressional leaders, are still unknown. As of now, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies is unaware of any restrictions related to the pandemic. Those wishing to get a spot to view Biden’s inauguration can still request tickets to the event through their member of Congress.Another sign that the pomp and circumstance of this year’s inauguration will look different is this could be the first time in US history that a presidential inauguration fails to result in a smooth transfer of power. Outgoing President Donald Trump has continued to allege the election was stolen from him despite dozens of failed lawsuits and no formal prosecutions of widespread fraud.It has been a long-standing tradition that the incoming and outgoing president meet at the White House and travel to the Capitol together before the inauguration.On Monday, Biden issued his strongest condemnation of Trump’s refusal to concede the election."It is my sincere hope we never again see anyone subjected to the kind of threats and abuse we saw in this election. It's simply unconscionable. We owe these public servants a debt of gratitude. They didn't seek the spotlight, you know, and our democracy survived because of them,” Biden said. 2602
