Looking for free things to do in the Bay Area this July 4 weekend, aside from your neighborhood block party?
From fireworks to parades, we’ve got you covered:
Enjoy Fireworks Around the Bay Area

After the sun goes down on Independence Day...the fireworks begin. In San Francisco, grab a spot (fog permitting) on the waterfront around Pier 39 for the city's "4th on the Wharf" fireworks display over San Francisco Bay. In East Bay, try the the Berkeley Marina firework display, where viewing is apparently best along the seawall south of the pier. And if you're in the South Bay, grab a picnic blanket for the Morgan Hill fireworks — part of their July 4 "FreedomFest" celebrations.
Thursday, July 4 (from dusk onward)

Wave a Flag at the Alameda Parade

If you’re feeling patriotic, you’ll want to be at the City of Alameda’s 4th of July Parade. It claims to be one of the longest Independence Day parades in the country (three miles), which means you’ll get your fill of decorated floats, high school marching bands, cute dogs and kids — and even some horses and bulls. It’s always a hot sunny day, so be sure to wear sunscreen and eat a popsicle, or two.
The only thing better than a summer swim is not having to pay an entrance fee. To celebrate its 85th anniversary, the East Bay Regional Park District is opening up thirteen of its beaches and pools from Oakland to Livermore for a day of free aquatic fun. It’s worth planning to go earlier in the day than later — once a spot reaches capacity, no new people will be allowed in. Visit the East Bay Regional Parks Swim Facilities website to find your nearest swimming hole.

The historic Fillmore Jazz Festival is back for its 36th year, and promises two days packed with music, food, art and soul. Live outdoor music happens from 10:30 a.m. — 6 p.m. both days, and when you’re not dancing you can browse twelve blocks of vendors selling food, arts and crafts.

What better way to end the Fourth of July holiday weekend than by cheering the U.S. Women’s National Team to World Cup victory? Wake up early on Sunday to watch the match live with thousands of other football fans in San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza. The game will be shown on a big screen, and there will also be food trucks, soccer-related activities, and fun for the whole family. The event is free, so just bring a blanket and your team spirit.

He said the county should have gone to a judge to get an opinion on whether it should enforce the rule. The legal determination, which resolves uncertainty for litigants, is known as declaratory relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Levine, a UC Law SF professor and civil procedure expert, told KQED that the registrar’s decision to follow its counsel’s opinion was not necessarily wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Counties make decisions all the time, saying, ‘Well, we think this is the right way to go.’ But, of course, somebody might disagree,” Levine said. “They might sue, and declaratory relief could have been an option at that point, but I don’t see it as being required.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine said the county was likely trying to maneuver out of a tough spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess? They’re trying to follow the stricter rule first,” he said. “And when they couldn’t comply with the stricter rule, they said, ‘Well, we at least have an argument for the looser state rule, so let’s go with the looser rule.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE has been inconsistent about which rules it thinks should apply to recall procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to the Board of Supervisors on April 22, SAFE asked the supervisors to follow the county’s mandate that an election be scheduled between 35 and 40 days from receiving notice from the registrar that the signatures qualified for a recall election. In the same letter, SAFE requested Supervisor Nate Miley add an agenda item for Tuesday’s meeting instructing the board to set an election date using the state’s scheduling timeline of 88 and 125 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on April 16, Carl Chan of SAFE alleged that the registrar’s rejection of 39% of the recall signatures was in part due to the registrar improperly imposing a county rule requiring signers to include their occupation with their signature. Chan said the county should have followed the state rules, which don’t require an occupation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE’s Brenda Grisham said an election should be scheduled without delay following the certification of recall signatures, citing the county charter.

But in a letter to the board in November, Donna Ziegler, the county counsel, called the requirement that signature gatherers be registered county voters “unconstitutional,” citing U.S. Supreme Court decisions that found similar requirements for circulating initiative petitions invalid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton said the county doesn’t get to decide whether or not to follow a rule that’s still on the books — even if that rule might lose in a court battle. He said the county should have gone to a judge to get an opinion on whether it should enforce the rule. The legal determination, which resolves uncertainty for litigants, is known as declaratory relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Levine, a UC Law SF professor and civil procedure expert, told KQED that the registrar’s decision to follow its counsel’s opinion was not necessarily wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Counties make decisions all the time, saying, ‘Well, we think this is the right way to go.’ But, of course, somebody might disagree,” Levine said. “They might sue, and declaratory relief could have been an option at that point, but I don’t see it as being required.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine said the county was likely trying to maneuver out of a tough spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess? They’re trying to follow the stricter rule first,” he said. “And when they couldn’t comply with the stricter rule, they said, ‘Well, we at least have an argument for the looser state rule, so let’s go with the looser rule.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE has been inconsistent about which rules it thinks should apply to recall procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to the Board of Supervisors on April 22, SAFE asked the supervisors to follow the county’s mandate that an election be scheduled between 35 and 40 days from receiving notice from the registrar that the signatures qualified for a recall election. In the same letter, SAFE requested Supervisor Nate Miley add an agenda item for Tuesday’s meeting instructing the board to set an election date using the state’s scheduling timeline of 88 and 125 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on April 16, Carl Chan of SAFE alleged that the registrar’s rejection of 39% of the recall signatures was in part due to the registrar improperly imposing a county rule requiring signers to include their occupation with their signature. Chan said the county should have followed the state rules, which don’t require an occupation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE’s Brenda Grisham said an election should be scheduled without delay following the certification of recall signatures, citing the county charter. She said the county has never clearly laid out what recall rules it would follow and how the passage of Measure B might change them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just wanted to toggle between the two,” she said. “And so we’re going to toggle with them, whichever one is best for us.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11984353/alameda-county-district-attorney-challenges-recall-signature-count","authors":["11772"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_23318","news_30830","news_27626","news_24461"],"featImg":"news_11967804","label":"news"},"news_11984466":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11984466","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11984466","found":true},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"california-homeowners-say-oakland-lender-scammed-them-out-of-3m-in-home-improvements","title":"California Homeowners Say Oakland Lender Scammed Them Out of $3M in Home Improvements","publishDate":1714500039,"format":"standard","headTitle":"California Homeowners Say Oakland Lender Scammed Them Out of $3M in Home Improvements | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Dozens of California homeowners allege an Oakland-based lending company conspired with contractors to issue fraudulent loans for home improvement projects that were never completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 160 complaints have been filed against the financial lending platform, Solar Mosaic, since 2019, according to data from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/consumer-complaints/search/?date_received_max=2024-04-28&date_received_min=2011-12-01&has_narrative=true&page=1&searchField=all&searchText=solar%20mosaic&size=100&sort=created_date_desc&tab=List\">Consumer Financial Protection Bureau\u003c/a>.

My parents work but don’t have tax information available. How can I complete FAFSA?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>First, let’s do a quick breakdown of tax vocabulary:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A \u003cb>W-2 form\u003c/b> is a tax document that an employer gives workers once a year, which shows how much the employer paid the worker that year.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003cb>1040 form\u003c/b> is a tax document, also known as a tax return, that a worker completes themselves, usually with the help of a tax expert. This document is sent to the IRS each year to confirm how much that worker got paid and how much they owe the government in taxes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Most people in the U.S. receive a W-2 form and then complete a 1040 form themselves. FAFSA will ask your parents to share information from last year’s documents. But let’s say you ask your parents and they don’t have this information. It could be for one of these reasons:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent is a gig worker, such as driving for Uber or doing deliveries for GrubHub, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the company they work for gave them a 1099 form. Ask for “their 1099” instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent did not work last year and received unemployment benefits instead, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the state government sent them a 1099-G form, which lists how much they received from unemployment benefits. You can ask for this instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent has a W-2 form but does not have last year’s 1040 form, this probably means they haven’t filed their taxes yet. Colleges will still want to see your parents’ taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk to your parents about scheduling an appointment with a tax preparer to catch up on this. There are many community organizations that offer free tax filing services year-round. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">In the Bay Area, United Way can connect you to online and in-person tax help\u003c/a> — and your parents could potentially qualify to get cash back from the government when they file, based on their income and the size of your family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your family still needs to file their taxes, keep the schools you’re applying to updated about this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, parents may be working at a job where they just won’t receive a W-2 or 1099 at all. Perhaps they work as a housecleaner, a nanny, a landscaper, a farmworker or another job where they haven’t signed a formal paper contract and are getting paid in cash. If this is your family’s situation, don’t panic. There are solutions. But you’ll have to act quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosanna Ferro, chief of education at Oakland-based nonprofit College Track, recommends you first ask your parents, “How have you gotten paid in the past year or two?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferro, whose organization works to help first-generation and low-income high school students from across the country graduate college, said that the point of this question is twofold: How often do your parents get paid, and how much do they get paid? The piece of information you need is what’s called “proof of income,” which can help you calculate how much your parents got paid per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, let’s say your dad cleans houses and charges $100 per house. Based on the information he shares, you estimate that he can usually clean 10 houses a week. That approximates that he’s earning roughly $4,000 a month. Multiply that by 12 months, and you get an estimated $48,000 per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have to get crafty to help your parents organize this information, Ferro said. “Whether it’s creating an Excel sheet, a Google folder or scanning something — taking a picture, a receipt or anything that shows income in any kind of way and storing it in a way that’s going to be accessible to you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helping your parents create a digital record of their earnings will also help you in the future when you have to fill out FAFSA again every year you’re in college. This will be especially important if you go to a school far away from home and no longer have easy access to physical receipts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While you’re doing this, remember to contact a financial aid officer from any of the schools you’re applying to, who can advise your family on how to best input this information into FAFSA. They may ask you to share additional documents, like a letter from an employer or potentially filing a 1040 form with the data you’ve gathered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All in all, we ask for information that you can put in as accurately as possible,” said Sonia Jethani, the director of the financial aid office at California State University, East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11968635\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11968635\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg\" alt=\"Three young people walk together on what looks like a city street, dressed warmly and smiling at each other.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How can you work with your family to accurately complete your FAFSA? \u003ccite>(Keira Burton/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>What else should I know about FAFSA in 2024?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The California Student Aid Commission’s Michael Lemus said students can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/students\">California Student Commission\u003c/a> as a resource for financial aid questions.

My parents work but don’t have tax information available. How can I complete FAFSA?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>First, let’s do a quick breakdown of tax vocabulary:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A \u003cb>W-2 form\u003c/b> is a tax document that an employer gives workers once a year, which shows how much the employer paid the worker that year.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003cb>1040 form\u003c/b> is a tax document, also known as a tax return, that a worker completes themselves, usually with the help of a tax expert. This document is sent to the IRS each year to confirm how much that worker got paid and how much they owe the government in taxes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Most people in the U.S. receive a W-2 form and then complete a 1040 form themselves. FAFSA will ask your parents to share information from last year’s documents. But let’s say you ask your parents and they don’t have this information. It could be for one of these reasons:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent is a gig worker, such as driving for Uber or doing deliveries for GrubHub, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the company they work for gave them a 1099 form. Ask for “their 1099” instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent did not work last year and received unemployment benefits instead, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the state government sent them a 1099-G form, which lists how much they received from unemployment benefits. You can ask for this instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent has a W-2 form but does not have last year’s 1040 form, this probably means they haven’t filed their taxes yet. Colleges will still want to see your parents’ taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk to your parents about scheduling an appointment with a tax preparer to catch up on this. There are many community organizations that offer free tax filing services year-round. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">In the Bay Area, United Way can connect you to online and in-person tax help\u003c/a> — and your parents could potentially qualify to get cash back from the government when they file, based on their income and the size of your family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your family still needs to file their taxes, keep the schools you’re applying to updated about this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, parents may be working at a job where they just won’t receive a W-2 or 1099 at all. Perhaps they work as a housecleaner, a nanny, a landscaper, a farmworker or another job where they haven’t signed a formal paper contract and are getting paid in cash. If this is your family’s situation, don’t panic. There are solutions. But you’ll have to act quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosanna Ferro, chief of education at Oakland-based nonprofit College Track, recommends you first ask your parents, “How have you gotten paid in the past year or two?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferro, whose organization works to help first-generation and low-income high school students from across the country graduate college, said that the point of this question is twofold: How often do your parents get paid, and how much do they get paid? The piece of information you need is what’s called “proof of income,” which can help you calculate how much your parents got paid per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, let’s say your dad cleans houses and charges $100 per house. Based on the information he shares, you estimate that he can usually clean 10 houses a week. That approximates that he’s earning roughly $4,000 a month. Multiply that by 12 months, and you get an estimated $48,000 per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have to get crafty to help your parents organize this information, Ferro said. “Whether it’s creating an Excel sheet, a Google folder or scanning something — taking a picture, a receipt or anything that shows income in any kind of way and storing it in a way that’s going to be accessible to you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helping your parents create a digital record of their earnings will also help you in the future when you have to fill out FAFSA again every year you’re in college. This will be especially important if you go to a school far away from home and no longer have easy access to physical receipts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While you’re doing this, remember to contact a financial aid officer from any of the schools you’re applying to, who can advise your family on how to best input this information into FAFSA. They may ask you to share additional documents, like a letter from an employer or potentially filing a 1040 form with the data you’ve gathered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All in all, we ask for information that you can put in as accurately as possible,” said Sonia Jethani, the director of the financial aid office at California State University, East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11968635\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11968635\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg\" alt=\"Three young people walk together on what looks like a city street, dressed warmly and smiling at each other.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How can you work with your family to accurately complete your FAFSA? \u003ccite>(Keira Burton/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>What else should I know about FAFSA in 2024?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The California Student Aid Commission’s Michael Lemus said students can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/students\">California Student Commission\u003c/a> as a resource for financial aid questions.

Meanwhile, about 80% of landlords use attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a lawyer makes a difference, Prochovnick said. Between 2022 and 2023, the most recent fiscal year that data was available, TRC provided legal services to about 1,800 tenants, according to the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development. More than 1,600 received favorable outcomes and remained housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who gets full representation is determined by a vulnerability scoring system, Prochovnick said. Tenants at the highest risk, including those who are elderly, have young children, or deal with mental or physical disabilities or language barriers, are prioritized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EDC works with seven other nonprofits to provide representation for eviction cases, including the Tenderloin Housing Clinic and Open Door Legal. The program is currently able to provide full legal representation to 84% of people seeking services, according to the city. The other 16% are eligible for limited support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of TRC’s clients during the 2022–23 fiscal year, 95% were low income, including 83% who qualified as extremely low income. The Tenderloin, Mission and South of Market neighborhoods had the highest client rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Monday’s hearing, Preston said that the program still has gaps, including the 16% of clients who cannot get full-scope services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prochovnick said that for all clients, TRC submits the initial paperwork responding to eviction notices so that they do not lose their housing by default and assigns an attorney to accompany them to hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest barrier to providing everyone with full services is staffing. Currently, the program has eight vacant attorney positions. Prochovnick said that the program has adjusted salaries and introduced a training pipeline to increase its staff. Currently, it has nine legal fellows it plans to take on as supervising attorneys within the next fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Prochovnick and Preston said that the long-term goal is to grow the program’s funding to meet increasing demand and fill in gaps.

In 2019, about 2,500 eviction notices were filed. That number dipped during the pandemic, but Prochovnick said this year, evictions are “inching toward 3,000.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the fiscal year that begins in July, though, EDC is solely focused on maintaining its full budget, as the city is expected to make cuts across departments to address a significant \u003ca href=\"https://sfethics.org/commission/budget#:~:text=Budget%20for%20Fiscal%20Year%202024&text=The%20City%20is%20projecting%20a%20budget%20shortfall%20of%20approximately%20%24728.3,budget%20of%20approximately%20%246.8%20billion.\">deficit\u003c/a>.

Meanwhile, about 80% of landlords use attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a lawyer makes a difference, Prochovnick said. Between 2022 and 2023, the most recent fiscal year that data was available, TRC provided legal services to about 1,800 tenants, according to the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development. More than 1,600 received favorable outcomes and remained housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who gets full representation is determined by a vulnerability scoring system, Prochovnick said. Tenants at the highest risk, including those who are elderly, have young children, or deal with mental or physical disabilities or language barriers, are prioritized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EDC works with seven other nonprofits to provide representation for eviction cases, including the Tenderloin Housing Clinic and Open Door Legal. The program is currently able to provide full legal representation to 84% of people seeking services, according to the city. The other 16% are eligible for limited support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of TRC’s clients during the 2022–23 fiscal year, 95% were low income, including 83% who qualified as extremely low income. The Tenderloin, Mission and South of Market neighborhoods had the highest client rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Monday’s hearing, Preston said that the program still has gaps, including the 16% of clients who cannot get full-scope services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prochovnick said that for all clients, TRC submits the initial paperwork responding to eviction notices so that they do not lose their housing by default and assigns an attorney to accompany them to hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest barrier to providing everyone with full services is staffing. Currently, the program has eight vacant attorney positions. Prochovnick said that the program has adjusted salaries and introduced a training pipeline to increase its staff. Currently, it has nine legal fellows it plans to take on as supervising attorneys within the next fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Prochovnick and Preston said that the long-term goal is to grow the program’s funding to meet increasing demand and fill in gaps.

In 2019, about 2,500 eviction notices were filed. That number dipped during the pandemic, but Prochovnick said this year, evictions are “inching toward 3,000.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the fiscal year that begins in July, though, EDC is solely focused on maintaining its full budget, as the city is expected to make cuts across departments to address a significant \u003ca href=\"https://sfethics.org/commission/budget#:~:text=Budget%20for%20Fiscal%20Year%202024&text=The%20City%20is%20projecting%20a%20budget%20shortfall%20of%20approximately%20%24728.3,budget%20of%20approximately%20%246.8%20billion.\">deficit\u003c/a>.
