(Para brindar un contexto, en San Francisco, 56% de los presos son afroamericanos, mientras que las personas afroamericanas representan menos del 6% de la población total de la ciudad.) Este noviembre, varios puestos en el senado y la asamblea del estado de California estarán abiertos. Así también como la Junta de Supervisores del condado de Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Habla con tu Comunidad\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Si eres blanco o una persona no afroamericana de color, es probable que hayas oido o visto ejemplos de racismo anti afroamericano por parte de tus amigos, familiares o colegas. Es tu trabajo levantar la voz, incluso si te hace sentir incómodo. No estás “arruinando” una ocasión pacífica—ellos la arruinan al ser racistas. Para aquellos que viene de familias inmigrantes,\u003ca href=\"https://lettersforblacklives.com/queridos-mam%C3%A1-pap%C3%A1-t%C3%ADos-y-t%C3%ADas-las-vidas-afroamericanas-tambi%C3%A9n-nos-importan-6a451b1a6099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Letters for Black Lives\u003c/a> ofrece panfletos explicativos sobre el movimiento de Black Lives Matter en docenas de lenguajes, incluyendo el chino, español, ruso, entre otros. Además, las leyes cambian, la supremacía blanca tiene que ser contrastada con un cambio cultural. Algunas personas se pueden resistir a que las eduques, pero independientemente de su respuesta, es importante hacerles saber que el racismo es inaceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Total sociopath.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Joyce’s love interest is a sociopath. He announces that Joyce is his “girl” approximately five minutes after meeting her, yells at her for having plans with other people, and—best of all!—when one of Joyce’s friends dies suddenly, he says she was “asking for it.” Total sociopath.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Everyone at Joyce’s school is a sociopath. In addition to playing party games in which screaming women get groped in the dark, they all abandon the dead body of one of their friends, stay silent about it while she lies undiscovered for a full week, \u003cem>and\u003c/em> lie through their teeth to the police about it!

Renae Moua, 28, was contracted with SOMArts as an interim community engagement and impact manager through May, but they were let go after the fundraiser cancellation. “I don’t know what to do,” Moua said. “Housing and basic necessities like food are at the forefront of my worries.” (A SOMArts spokesperson said Moua’s healthcare coverage has been extended for two additional months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most performing arts organizations are encouraging ticket holders to donate the ticket cost, while many others have launched online fundraisers. Gray Area, which restored and operates the Mission District’s Grand Theater, derives 75% of its revenue from rentals and tickets, and stands to lose $350,000. The lapse in programming, executive director Barry Threw said in a letter soliciting contributions to its $300,000 crowdfunding campaign, is an existential threat to the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many write-in comments on the survey describe pivots to digital programming and pledges to pay employees during the closures. Others are more grim. One large museum wrote: “Looking for funds to keep the organization going.” A performing arts group explained: “Without programming we have no income revenue to pay our teaching artists and facility staff. They are currently NOT being paid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And an indie musician wrote one word in an other personnel decisions column: “Cry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

How the words “know thyself” mean more than just knowing who you are, but essentially, where you stand in the universe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one idea that sticks with me, given what we’re all experiencing—even though Seals recorded this episode almost a year ago—is that a key component of optimal living is developing your own worldview, and not just adhering to others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to develop that view, to truly know yourself and study your spirit, you need to spend some time alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876915\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876915\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9291-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Social Distance\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9291-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9291-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9291-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9291-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9291-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Social Distance. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span>‘m one of those people who work a lot but never work on themselves.

He was set to fly to Austin for South by Southwest to DJ several showcases, including a set with buzzed-about bilingual singer La Doña. And he had several private gigs lined up—weddings, tech company parties and the like—that would earn him a sizable chunk of income, in the upper four figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as coronavirus began to spread in the United States, event producers began taking precautions to stop the spread of the illness, which the World Health Organization is now calling a global pandemic. Last week, South by Southwest was canceled—then Ultra Music Festival in Miami, then \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13876282/coachella-postponed-coronavirus-stagecoach-october-flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coachella\u003c/a>. The city of San Francisco, where King Most is based, advised a halt on mass gatherings and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1237792593619996672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">banned events\u003c/a> with attendance counts above 1,000 people. (\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Update, March 18\u003c/strong>:\u003c/em> And days later, San Francisco and five other Bay Area counties implemented a “shelter in place” order that effective shut down the arts, and every other kind of in-person business, for weeks to come.) [aside postid='arts_13876160']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These closures are necessary to keep the public safe, but it doesn’t make them any easier on musicians, performing artists and other creative professionals whose livelihoods depend on concerts, shows and parties. The music industry in particular is poorly equipped to handle the pandemic. Over the years, its profit model has shifted from selling records to touring. Most performers work for themselves and aren’t entitled to benefits such as sick leave. Though California’s \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/about_edd/coronavirus-2019.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employment Development Department\u003c/a> extended unemployment insurance benefits to some self-employed people, it’s unclear whether many musicians will meet the qualifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King Most will likely have to live off his savings for the next couple of months—and as for what lies beyond that time span, he’s not sure. “We don’t get basic safety nets like people that work [full-time jobs],” he says. “They get two weeks of paid sick leave—I don’t have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He advises music fans to support their favorite artists by buying their music directly on \u003ca href=\"https://kingmost.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bandcamp\u003c/a> while shows are being canceled. And even then, he says, “It’s cool pocket money, but not enough to make up for what I’m missing out on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we are told as artists, ‘Yeah, you don’t make money on streams, you don’t make money on selling records, but you will make money on tour,’” says singer-songwriter \u003ca href=\"https://madelinekenney.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madeline Kenney\u003c/a>, whose upcoming tour plans hang in the air as she deliberates next steps with her team. “Unless you’re on a certain level, it’s just not true. I’ve been touring for four years, and I break even if I’m lucky. So when you take away that one chance you have to not only make a little money on your merch, but mostly to get out in front of people and hopefully start playing bigger rooms and spread the word, [it’s] a huge opportunity cost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And musicians aren’t the only ones affected—all realms of the live event industry are suffering. Robbie Kowal, the CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://www.hushconcerts.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HUSH Concerts\u003c/a>, which puts on over 1,000 silent disco events at private parties, conferences and music festivals a year, has seen a dramatic drop in business. [aside postid='science_1957877']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have no events, so there’s no industry. It’s tough, really tough,” he says, adding that he’s already lost his projected monthly gross. “We had a little bit of a cushion, and that’s enabled us to make sure our people can get paid through right now.

He was set to fly to Austin for South by Southwest to DJ several showcases, including a set with buzzed-about bilingual singer La Doña. And he had several private gigs lined up—weddings, tech company parties and the like—that would earn him a sizable chunk of income, in the upper four figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as coronavirus began to spread in the United States, event producers began taking precautions to stop the spread of the illness, which the World Health Organization is now calling a global pandemic. Last week, South by Southwest was canceled—then Ultra Music Festival in Miami, then \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13876282/coachella-postponed-coronavirus-stagecoach-october-flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coachella\u003c/a>. The city of San Francisco, where King Most is based, advised a halt on mass gatherings and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1237792593619996672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">banned events\u003c/a> with attendance counts above 1,000 people. (\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Update, March 18\u003c/strong>:\u003c/em> And days later, San Francisco and five other Bay Area counties implemented a “shelter in place” order that effective shut down the arts, and every other kind of in-person business, for weeks to come.) \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The music industry in particular is poorly equipped to handle the pandemic. Over the years, its profit model has shifted from selling records to touring. Most performers work for themselves and aren’t entitled to benefits such as sick leave. Though California’s \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/about_edd/coronavirus-2019.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employment Development Department\u003c/a> extended unemployment insurance benefits to some self-employed people, it’s unclear whether many musicians will meet the qualifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King Most will likely have to live off his savings for the next couple of months—and as for what lies beyond that time span, he’s not sure. “We don’t get basic safety nets like people that work [full-time jobs],” he says. “They get two weeks of paid sick leave—I don’t have that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He advises music fans to support their favorite artists by buying their music directly on \u003ca href=\"https://kingmost.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bandcamp\u003c/a> while shows are being canceled. And even then, he says, “It’s cool pocket money, but not enough to make up for what I’m missing out on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’ve been touring for four years, and I break even if I’m lucky. So when you take away that one chance you have to not only make a little money on your merch, but mostly to get out in front of people and hopefully start playing bigger rooms and spread the word, [it’s] a huge opportunity cost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And musicians aren’t the only ones affected—all realms of the live event industry are suffering.
