"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Nevada offered a stadium that’ll be paid for by tax revenue. The City of Oakland didn’t, and rightfully so. With thousands of people sleeping on the streets, paying to build a sports franchise’s new stadium would’ve been the ultimate example of helping the rich get richer.

Once in San Francisco, she made friends with drag performers at legendary North Beach club Finocchio’s, and later got involved with the city’s chapter of the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattachine_Society\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mattachine Society\u003c/a>—one of the earliest LGBT organizations in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such was her determination that, during a time when a great many trans and cross-dressing people felt obliged by law to live private lives, Lawrence saw fit to start lecturing doctors at UCSF, and assisting at its Langley Porter Clinic, with the goal of helping the medical profession understand that being transgender was not, in fact, a mental disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, after \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Jorgensen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christine Jorgensen\u003c/a> underwent high profile gender reassignment surgery in Denmark in 1952, Lawrence was said to have \u003ca href=\"https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674013797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remarked\u003c/a>, “If only some of these American medical men could… not continually imagine that their own penis was removed when Christine’s was, maybe we would see some sound thoughtful, imaginative progress made in this field.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite her frustration at not being able to break down barriers to healthcare more quickly, her work at UCSF is what led her, in 1948, to first come into contact with Dr. Alfred Kinsey—at the time the focus of national uproar for his book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Behavior-Human-Alfred-Kinsey/dp/0253334128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sexual Behavior in the Human Male\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. By then, Lawrence had built a network of almost 200 other trans people across America and decided to share some of their stories with Kinsey. Gender variance, after all, had been glaringly absent from the sexologist’s landmark work. Lawrence didn’t just encourage Kinsey to include trans people in his 1953 follow-up—\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Behavior-Female-Alfred-Kinsey/dp/025333411X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sexual Behavior in the Human Female\u003c/em>\u003c/a>—she helped directly to facilitate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Joanne Meyerowitz’s paper, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/44445556?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sex Research at the Borders of Gender: Transvestites, Transsexuals, and Alfred C.

Lawrence, in turn, provided Kinsey with trans stories and novels, as well as her own personal correspondence, diaries and \u003ca href=\"https://cooper.edu/art/news/gender-myths-exploded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scrapbooks\u003c/a> “filled with articles about same-sex couples living as man and woman.” Were it not for Lawrence’s contribution, it’s probable that “transexuals” would not have made it into Kinsey’s final works at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, she also worked directly with, and informed the work of, pioneering endocrinologist and sexologist \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Benjamin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Benjamin\u003c/a>, for whom she had an enormous amount of respect. Lawrence once \u003ca href=\"https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674013797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described Benjamin\u003c/a> as: “one of the few medical men in this country who has any understanding of this problem.” It was he that encouraged her, in 1951, to publish an article in the \u003cem>International Journal of Sexology\u003c/em> titled “Transvestism: An Empirical Study.” (As usual, Lawrence shied away from the spotlight, writing it under a pseudonym, Janet Thompson.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, for Lawrence, it wasn’t enough to merely reach the academics. In 1952, Lawrence co-founded the independent paper \u003cem>Transvestia—\u003c/em>most closely associated with \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Prince\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virginia Prince\u003c/a>, who went on to edit it for over 20 years—with the aim of bringing wider “knowledge, acceptance [and] understanding” to the community.

Their claim came after years of watching the U.S. government terminate the status of over 100 tribes and remove approximately \u003ca href=\"http://www.nativepartnership.org/site/PageServer?pagename=PWNA_Native_History_terminationpolicySW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2,500,000 acres of trust land from protected status\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The young leaders of the occupation, including LaNada Means and Richard Oakes, cannily turned the paternalistic language of the American government into pointed media moments.

The San Francisco Indian Center burned to the ground just a month prior to the occupation; the organizers proposed Alcatraz as a site for a new cultural center, a place to educate, preserve and reestablish Native American ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s archival footage, along with shots taken by Doris Purdy (then an employee of the Bureau of Indian Affairs), and a few clips from Sacramento’s KCRA News, tell a story of an idealistic group of young people, members of tribes spread across the continent, who gathered on Alcatraz to challenge not just the conditions of 1969, but centuries of cultural erasure. —\u003cem>Text by Sarah Hotchkiss\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Their claim came after years of watching the U.S. government terminate the status of over 100 tribes and remove approximately \u003ca href=\"http://www.nativepartnership.org/site/PageServer?pagename=PWNA_Native_History_terminationpolicySW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2,500,000 acres of trust land from protected status\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The young leaders of the occupation, including LaNada Means and Richard Oakes, cannily turned the paternalistic language of the American government into pointed media moments. The activists proclaimed the cold and windy island “more than suitable as an Indian Reservation, as determined by the White Man’s own standards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As an actor of Mexican-Irish descent who played Indigenous people throughout his movie career, Quinn’s position was, by 2019 standards, a problematic one. \u003cem>Flap\u003c/em> itself was based on a book titled \u003cem>Nobody Loves a Drunken Indian, \u003c/em>written by \u003ca href=\"https://www.fantasticfiction.com/h/clair-huffaker/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clair Huffaker\u003c/a>, a white man who traditionally wrote about the Old West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the movie took major steps to sympathize with the plight of marginalized Native people and set Quinn’s Flapping Eagle character up as a hero facing impossible odds. Promotion for the movie capitalized on the Alcatraz occupation, with posters that read: “A warning to the Mayor: \u003cem>Flap\u003c/em> is here! The Indians have already claimed Alcatraz. City Hall may be next. You have been warned.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his Alcatraz visit, Quinn, who financially contributed to Native American causes, \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=ovASzp51gmcC&pg=PA96&lpg=PA96&dq=Hippies,+Indians+and+the+Fight+For+Red+Power+anthony+quinn&source=bl&ots=3p9I_pi8uS&sig=ACfU3U065XJCFs0ntmTWH5gjCqcyHkN8tA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiDx8GhyOXlAhWVvJ4KHYuyD8gQ6AEwCXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Hippies%2C%20Indians%20and%20the%20Fight%20For%20Red%20Power%20anthony%20quinn&f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told a press conference\u003c/a> he was \u003ca href=\"https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=DS19691215.2.39&e=-------en--20--1--txt-txIN--------1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">impressed\u003c/a> by the occupiers’ aims. “Alcatraz is a small price,” he said, “for all the sins we committed and indignities we forced on the Indians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back on the mainland, the counterculture was rallying too. On December 12, 1969, a benefit for the occupiers took place at Stanford’s Memorial Chapel, headlined by \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_Sainte-Marie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buffy Sainte-Marie\u003c/a>. (The singer went on to be the first Indigenous person to win an Academy Award, for writing 1982’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLCk066o9sU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Up Where We Belong\u003c/a>.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Berkeley’s Malvina Reynolds (most famous for writing the hit “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUwUp-D_VV0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Little Boxes\u003c/a>“) donated $1,000 in royalties from her song “Alcatraz (Pelican Island)” towards the San Francisco American Indian Center, which had \u003ca href=\"https://news.sfsu.edu/news-story/professor-lead-re-establishment-american-indian-cultural-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">burned down\u003c/a> shortly before the occupation began. “Alcatraz isn’t good enough for them,” Reynolds noted at the time, “but it certainly is a first step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FPjQbXvazY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As noted in \u003cem>Hippies, Indians and the Fight For Red Power, \u003c/em>much of the progress made for Native visibility in the ’70s may not have occurred without the protesters’ time on the island, and the high profile support it prompted. “In terms of capturing national and even international attention,” the book states. “Alcatraz stands out as a critical turning point for Indian reform. It provided the opportunity and the focus for non-Indian supporters to find a place and a purpose to which they could contribute.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For both activists and progressively-minded celebrities, it stands as a rousing and inspiring example to this day.\u003c/p>\n\n",

For 19 months, 89 American Indians and supporters took up residence on Alcatraz to protest the treatment of indigenous peoples by the U.S. government. Many of the original occupants are still alive, and next week, some of them will get together to tell their stories of organizing and living on the island. That includes adults from three different tribes, as well as two participants who were children on the island in 1969. That’s on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the main branch of the public library in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"https://sfpl.org/?pg=1038012501\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He’s a truly gifted lyricist who writes with such a relatable openness and vulnerability. Rexx Life Raj is from Berkeley, and he’s been on the come-up in recent years, building up his cult following through lyrical honesty rather than going viral through some gimmick. He plays Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Independent in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"https://www.theindependentsf.com/event/9945715/rexx-life-raj/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Holiday Train Ride\u003c/strong>: It’s one of the best times of the year: repeat \u003cem>Polar Express\u003c/em> viewing season! And if you’re already feeling the holiday spirit creep up on you, the Napa Valley Wine Train is doing a special holiday-themed ride that sounds like a real-life Polar Express experience. Under their new ownership, the wine train has been doing a bunch of these themed rides, like murder mystery dinners and beer tasting trips. This Christmas-themed one includes hot chocolate, cookies, and a Santa on board. It runs from Nov. 19 through the end of the year. \u003ca href=\"https://www.winetrain.com/events/santa-train/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For 19 months, 89 American Indians and supporters took up residence on Alcatraz to protest the treatment of indigenous peoples by the U.S. government. Many of the original occupants are still alive, and next week, some of them will get together to tell their stories of organizing and living on the island. That includes adults from three different tribes, as well as two participants who were children on the island in 1969. That’s on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the main branch of the public library in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"https://sfpl.org/?pg=1038012501\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She became the first black woman ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Over the years, her victory is often cited as inspiration for women running for public office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This election season has been nicknamed “The Year of the Woman” because a record number of women have run and won seats in national and statewide races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Campaign gets little attention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1968, Chisholm defeated James Farmer for New York’s 14th Congressional District. She was a New York State assemblywoman, elected in 1964 after leaving behind a career in education, first as a nursery school teacher and later a consultant to New York City’s Division of Day Care. Farmer, a black man and civil rights leader, ran as a Republican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reapportioned 12th Congressional District was largely made up of Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant community and a few other parts of the borough. Bed-Stuy’s residents were mostly African-American and Puerto Rican. It was also Chisholm’s home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chisholm labeled Farmer “an outsider” during the campaign, because he lived in Manhattan. Among her tactics, she spoke in Spanish to Spanish speakers, a language she had developed fluency in as a schoolteacher. She took her campaign to the streets, literally, riding on a truck with a loudspeaker. Making multiple stops, she regularly kicked off her remarks by saying, “This is Fighting Shirley Chisholm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contest between two black candidates garnered little media attention outside Brooklyn. In Susan Brownmiller’s 1970 biography of Chisholm, she described the candidate as distraught over the lack of coverage. Chisholm was concerned that only \u003cem>The Amsterdam News,\u003c/em> a black newspaper, seemed interested in covering her near the end of the campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the final votes were tallied, voters chose Chisholm by better than a 2-to-1 margin over Farmer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, media attention remained scant about Chisholm’s surprising win. Richard Nixon’s narrow win over Vice President Hubert Humphrey dominated headlines and airwaves. Television, radio and newspapers mentioned Chisholm’s news in one line on air, or in only a paragraph in print.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her victory remarks from the evening are hard to come by. But NPR recently found a recording held by the New York Public Library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dear friends, tonight is a very important night,” she told her supporters, “not so much for me, but for you, the people of this community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After many years of struggle and sacrifices on the part of several of you here this evening, we have at long last been able to elect today a voice that shall be your voice in the halls of the United States Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a couple weeks of the election, a national black weekly, \u003cem>Jet\u003c/em> magazine, put Chisholm on the cover. It wasn’t until several months later, when she was a sworn-in member of Congress, that the country began to pay closer attention. In February 1969, \u003cem>Ebony\u003c/em> magazine did a cover story. Later still, she was filmed on the steps of the U.S. Capitol by an NBC News camera crew, answering questions from visiting Brooklyn students from her district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the NBC documentary \u003cem>The Irrepressible Shirley Chisholm,\u003c/em> a black teenager asks her, “How do you feel being the first black woman in the House of Representatives?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have mixed feelings,” Chisholm begins, as she looks at the girl along with her classmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First of all, I’m very glad to make history in this country being the first black woman, [but] I don’t get terribly excited about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, some 20 years after Chisholm left Congress, Tavis Smiley asked her which had been a bigger obstacle during her career, being black or being a woman?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I met far more discrimination being a woman than being black when I moved out into the political arena,” she said. “All kinds of meetings and all kinds of groups got together in order to stop me from moving out [into politics]. Because I was very outspoken and very articulate and didn’t take guff off anybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From assemblywoman to congresswoman\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Chisholm entered the New York State Assembly in 1964, she helped pass unemployment insurance for domestic workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13869439\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13869439\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/gettyimages-642536326_800-800x540.jpg\" alt=\"Rep.
