(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.)

En San Francisco, por ejemplo, a principios de año votaron por Chesa Boudin como fiscal de distrito, y el rápidamente eliminó el pago de fianza monetario y paro los juicios para ofensas no violentas. (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.)

The organization is funneling cancellation fees to event staff. SOMArts is so far losing $20,000 due to cancellations, and expects the number to grow to $100,000, or 30% of projected annual rental revenue. Its annual spring fundraiser event, which last year brought in more than $20,000, is also cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In notoriously costly San Francisco, many arts workers lack savings. 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",

The organization is funneling cancellation fees to event staff. SOMArts is so far losing $20,000 due to cancellations, and expects the number to grow to $100,000, or 30% of projected annual rental revenue. Its annual spring fundraiser event, which last year brought in more than $20,000, is also cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In notoriously costly San Francisco, many arts workers lack savings. 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>",

It features a conversation with an assistant professor in SF State’s Department of Africana Studies, Dr. Ifetayo Flannery. The 40-minute segment hinges on a few key points, like how African psychology isn’t about studying the mind, but studying the spirit. 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.
