His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Meanwhile, in California, most counties will start mailing ballots to more than 20 million registered voters in the state starting next week. California is one of nine states that will send ballots to all registered voters by mail, a decision prompted by the ongoing pandemic. President Trump has lodged repeated attacks on voting by mail and sought to sow doubts about the integrity of the November election. At the first presidential debate on Tuesday, he once again falsely claimed that voting by mail is rife with fraud and refused to say he would accept the results of the election. President Trump also repeatedly interrupted, personally attacked and talked over his Democratic presidential rival, Joe Biden, who called him “a clown” and told him to “shut up, man.” The Commission on Presidential Debates said that it will make changes to the format to “ensure a more orderly discussion” prior to the next showdown between the two rivals. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED senior editor of politics and government\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Older and Overlooked” KQED Series Reveals Fire Danger to Seniors\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As firefighters continue to battle wildfires that have burned millions of acres in California, an investigation by KQED and CalMatters has found roughly two million people aged 65 and older live in areas at high risk for wildfires. The investigation also revealed that wildfires are a significant hazard for more than a third of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in California. State law requires the facilities to have emergency plans, conduct training and fire drills. But enforcement by state regulators is scarce and emergency plans are a big question mark, leaving vulnerable seniors potentially exposed to deadly wildfires.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Molly Peterson, reporter, KQED Science\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lisa Pickoff-White, KQED senior producer and data journalist \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Something Beautiful: Hardly Strictly Bluegrass”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the past nineteen years, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has put on a free music festival the first weekend of October in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The annual three day festival celebrates roots music traditions across the country and has historically drawn more than 750-thousand attendees. Due to the ongoing global pandemic, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass will celebrate its 20th anniversary online this year. The all-virtual festival this year will kick off Saturday, featuring performances by Emmylou Harris, The McCrary Sisters and Shakey Graves, as well as information on how to donate to artists affected by COVID-19.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

California is one of nine states that will send ballots to all registered voters by mail, a decision prompted by the ongoing pandemic. President Trump has lodged repeated attacks on voting by mail and sought to sow doubts about the integrity of the November election. At the first presidential debate on Tuesday, he once again falsely claimed that voting by mail is rife with fraud and refused to say he would accept the results of the election. President Trump also repeatedly interrupted, personally attacked and talked over his Democratic presidential rival, Joe Biden, who called him “a clown” and told him to “shut up, man.” The Commission on Presidential Debates said that it will make changes to the format to “ensure a more orderly discussion” prior to the next showdown between the two rivals. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED senior editor of politics and government\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Older and Overlooked” KQED Series Reveals Fire Danger to Seniors\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As firefighters continue to battle wildfires that have burned millions of acres in California, an investigation by KQED and CalMatters has found roughly two million people aged 65 and older live in areas at high risk for wildfires. The investigation also revealed that wildfires are a significant hazard for more than a third of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in California. State law requires the facilities to have emergency plans, conduct training and fire drills. But enforcement by state regulators is scarce and emergency plans are a big question mark, leaving vulnerable seniors potentially exposed to deadly wildfires.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Molly Peterson, reporter, KQED Science\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lisa Pickoff-White, KQED senior producer and data journalist \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Something Beautiful: Hardly Strictly Bluegrass”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the past nineteen years, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has put on a free music festival the first weekend of October in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The annual three day festival celebrates roots music traditions across the country and has historically drawn more than 750-thousand attendees. Due to the ongoing global pandemic, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass will celebrate its 20th anniversary online this year. The all-virtual festival this year will kick off Saturday, featuring performances by Emmylou Harris, The McCrary Sisters and Shakey Graves, as well as information on how to donate to artists affected by COVID-19.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She taught me a way of listening: to listen not to the words, but the spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beautiful thing about her is that she is mostly nonverbal, but she knows the words to every song — she just makes them up as she goes along.

It’s instead just an expression of her state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we listen to each other more carefully, we learn and we have so much to learn from each other.

My father was 85, and we realized that if we were going to do it, we needed to do it now. My father had been diagnosed with less than a year to live. Jane is now 55. The life expectancy, unfortunately, for her generation with Down syndrome is 60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We did the recordings with three generations — my three-year-old daughter and my father were present. So were Jane and her peers, many of whom I’ve known their entire lives. On the song “Farewell Father,” you can hear Jane singing to my father and telling him goodbye. And, in fact, he passed away two months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On Recording His Family After Recording Around the Globe\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It felt like literally coming home. It really came full circle musically because the music for me really started with her. It’s been deeply rewarding to hear those voices and to see that there are no amusical people. Music is everywhere. It’s necessary for survival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really evaluate a record based on: is it unique? Is it different? Does it have a reason to exist for that reason alone? I think that the voices here are unlike any others. The things that are expressed are real. This recording is comprised of instant compositions with people that had never written songs before, sung into a microphone before or played instruments before. Nonetheless, the results were stunning.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On the Recording Techniques Used\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>We used some of the singers’ own devices — the wheelchairs, the canes. There was a yoga ball. It’s 100% live. What you’re hearing is something that happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On most recordings nowadays, what we hear is something that never happened. It’s a simulation of an event that never actually occurred. I am invested in trying to represent a place and time and a moment in time that can connect people to reality in such a way that they can hear better.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>On the Album’s Message\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>What I’ve always learned from Jane and her peers throughout my life is perseverance and tenacity and acceptance. It’s not a surrender, but an acceptance of limitations, working with them and beyond them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People on this album make up these incredible melodies that are very intricate and unique and complex. Some people have heard them and they say, “What language is that in?” And it’s easy. It’s in the language of music. It’s the universal language. There are no words to those songs. The meaning is embedded in the music itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/q-hvvuGQTUM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Chief Justice Roberts said that the nearly 500 opinions and dissents she wrote in her 27 years on the bench will “steer the court for decades.” Encountering gender discrimination herself in academia and in the workforce, Justice Ginsburg was an ardent champion of women’s rights. As an attorney, she argued six gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Court in the 1970s, winning five of them. Meanwhile, a political fight is heating up on Capitol Hill over her successor. President Trump and top Republicans are aiming to nominate and confirm a new justice in the coming weeks, despite objections from Democrats. Late on Friday, media outlets began reporting that President Trump will nominate U.S. Appeals Court judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tomiko Brown-Nagin, Dean, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and professor, Harvard Law School\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, fellow, Hoover Institution \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Education: A Month in, Lessons Learned and Reopening Challenges\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For millions of public school students in California, the fall semester kicked off roughly a month ago virtually to keep kids and teachers safe during the pandemic. Online lesson plans and digital assignments are the new normal. But now, more schools can apply to reopen for in-person instruction. Under a statewide, color-coded monitoring system, schools can apply to reopen if they’re in a county in the red tier which indicates substantial transmission — as opposed to “widespread transmission” — of COVID-19, for at least two weeks. Most Bay Area counties are in the red-tier, including San Francisco which launched an online dashboard to track which schools have applied to and received permission to reopen. Meanwhile, a school district in Marin county has already been holding in-person classes for nearly two weeks, with students wearing masks, staggering arrival and departure times and social distancing on campus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Julia McEvoy, KQED senior editor of education and equity \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Itoco Garcia, Ed.D., superintendent, Sausalito Marin City School District \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Something Beautiful: fnnch”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, we end the show by sharing the work of fnnch, a San Francisco muralist and street artist.

As an attorney, she argued six gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Court in the 1970s, winning five of them. Meanwhile, a political fight is heating up on Capitol Hill over her successor. President Trump and top Republicans are aiming to nominate and confirm a new justice in the coming weeks, despite objections from Democrats. Late on Friday, media outlets began reporting that President Trump will nominate U.S. Appeals Court judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tomiko Brown-Nagin, Dean, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and professor, Harvard Law School\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, fellow, Hoover Institution \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Education: A Month in, Lessons Learned and Reopening Challenges\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For millions of public school students in California, the fall semester kicked off roughly a month ago virtually to keep kids and teachers safe during the pandemic. Online lesson plans and digital assignments are the new normal. But now, more schools can apply to reopen for in-person instruction.

A successful rapper who’d had run-ins with the police himself, Ferreira had joined law enforcement for one reason: to fight a white supremacist system from the inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was thinking about occupying a badge and a gun, and using it in accordance with my values,” he said. “I needed to know if that was impossible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he started taking statements from bystanders, Ferreira said he thought, “I was blocks away from this when it happened. … What is this going to turn into?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lesser of Two Evils\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Before he became a cop, Ferreira didn’t trust them very much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He grew up in the 1980s and 1990s in West Oakland, the home of the Black Panthers. Ferreira’s mom was a former Nation of Islam teacher who worked for Pacific Gas & Electric, and she raised her son on a steady diet of Black revolutionary theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also the height of the crack epidemic, a public health crisis that fueled crime. Some people turned to the police, but as Ferreira put it, “you’re kind of choosing a lesser of two evils.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1990s, a group of Oakland Police Department officers known as the Riders allegedly kidnapped, beat and falsely arrested countless West Oakland residents. The city eventually settled the case and agreed to pay nearly $11 million to 119 different plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he got to high school, Ferreira tried to keep his head down. He focused on football. That’s where he met Jihad Akbar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was pretty much getting straight A’s all through high school,” said Ferreira. “He was the most politically aware of any of us, and he was a leader.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Akbar attended UC Berkeley and grew into a dedicated activist, devoting his time to AIDS prevention and juvenile justice. But as the years went by, Ferreira said his friend began struggling with mental health issues and started to self-medicate. Akbar tried to get help but had trouble getting into a residential treatment program. Sometimes he’d get high and get paranoid about law enforcement, and Ferreira would spend hours just sitting with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in October 2002, Ferreira got a call from a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He told me that Jihad was dead and the police killed him,” Ferreira said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11837446\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11837446\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/Cotsirilos_Jinhos-Journey_pic-2-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"At Berkeley High School, Jinho Ferreira (wearing a number 25 jersey in the second row) said he focused on football.

Akbar allegedly ran into San Francisco’s Baghdad Cafe and stole several knives, then started dancing with them in the street outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was obviously having some type of mental breakdown,” Ferreira said. “Two cops showed up. He supposedly lunged at one of them, and they shot him, and he died.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Akbar’s death made the news. Ferreira remembered one article describing his friend as a violent homeless man. He said it didn’t mention that Akbar had gone to UC Berkeley or been a straight-A student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t leave it up to the guy that wrote that article about Jihad to tell the world about him,” he remembered thinking. “It’s literally my job to tell the world about him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Ferreira had been rapping for several years. In 2003, he got together with a singer and a guitarist at an Oakland recording studio and started a group called Flipsyde.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5QEAI_O2IA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you go back through all our songs, 90-95% of them deal with how this system victimizes people,” he said. “I’m carrying everything with me — all the people that have passed away with me — and I’m working as hard as I possibly can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group took off. Flipsyde traveled the world with Snoop Dogg, Akon and the Black Eyed Peas. In 2006, NBC made their song “Someday” the theme song for their Winter Olympics coverage. But they were always a bigger deal abroad than they were back home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I needed to do more than just write a song,” Ferreira said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ferreira, the turning point came on New Year’s Day in 2009. In the early hours of the morning, Oscar Grant was shot by a white police officer on the platform of Oakland’s Fruitvale BART Station. His death was filmed by bystanders. Ferreira watched the video and took to the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I go to the protest,” he said. “And I remember a journalist was interviewing artists. And he said, ‘What can we do as artists to make sure this never happens again?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jinho Ferreira, artist and former Alameda County sheriff's deputy\"]‘I was thinking about occupying a badge and a gun, and using it in accordance with my values.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question left him reeling, then frustrated him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s one person that decided to pull the trigger to kill my partner, Jihad,” he said. “He was a cop. [And] if a miracle happens and we get rid of this cop, who’s going to replace him?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferreira said he struggled with that question for a while. Then, he said, “I thought, ‘I should start thinking about going into law enforcement.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Surviving the Battle\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When Ferreira first told his family he was thinking of becoming a cop, they were terrified for him — and a few relatives were angry. Ferreira wondered whether he would be allowed to join law enforcement at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been all over the world, rapping in front of Snoop’s weed plants,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2010, with a friend’s encouragement, Ferreira put down $5,000 and enrolled in the Alameda County Sheriff Academy. On his first day, he walked into a classroom with over 50 other recruits. Only five of them were Black men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re in there, it’s eye opening,” Ferreira said. “You see all these people being trained, and a lot of them are good dudes. It’s like being on a football team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers who trained the recruits were tough and protective, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their whole thing is, ‘My students will survive the battle. They will live,’” said Ferreira. “You watch videos of cops being killed, and they pick those videos apart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferreira doesn’t remember watching or analyzing any videos where the cops were the ones that killed people. According to Alameda County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Sgt. Ray Kelly, the department now includes videos of officer-involved shootings in their trainings, but they didn’t when Ferreira was in the academy. Ferreira also said they didn’t really go into the history of the communities they’d be policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He expected to get kicked out of the Academy.

A successful rapper who’d had run-ins with the police himself, Ferreira had joined law enforcement for one reason: to fight a white supremacist system from the inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was thinking about occupying a badge and a gun, and using it in accordance with my values,” he said. “I needed to know if that was impossible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he started taking statements from bystanders, Ferreira said he thought, “I was blocks away from this when it happened. … What is this going to turn into?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lesser of Two Evils\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Before he became a cop, Ferreira didn’t trust them very much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He grew up in the 1980s and 1990s in West Oakland, the home of the Black Panthers. Ferreira’s mom was a former Nation of Islam teacher who worked for Pacific Gas & Electric, and she raised her son on a steady diet of Black revolutionary theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also the height of the crack epidemic, a public health crisis that fueled crime. Some people turned to the police, but as Ferreira put it, “you’re kind of choosing a lesser of two evils.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1990s, a group of Oakland Police Department officers known as the Riders allegedly kidnapped, beat and falsely arrested countless West Oakland residents. The city eventually settled the case and agreed to pay nearly $11 million to 119 different plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he got to high school, Ferreira tried to keep his head down. He focused on football. That’s where he met Jihad Akbar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was pretty much getting straight A’s all through high school,” said Ferreira. “He was the most politically aware of any of us, and he was a leader.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Akbar attended UC Berkeley and grew into a dedicated activist, devoting his time to AIDS prevention and juvenile justice. But as the years went by, Ferreira said his friend began struggling with mental health issues and started to self-medicate. Akbar tried to get help but had trouble getting into a residential treatment program. Sometimes he’d get high and get paranoid about law enforcement, and Ferreira would spend hours just sitting with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in October 2002, Ferreira got a call from a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He told me that Jihad was dead and the police killed him,” Ferreira said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11837446\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11837446\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/Cotsirilos_Jinhos-Journey_pic-2-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"At Berkeley High School, Jinho Ferreira (wearing a number 25 jersey in the second row) said he focused on football.

Akbar allegedly ran into San Francisco’s Baghdad Cafe and stole several knives, then started dancing with them in the street outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was obviously having some type of mental breakdown,” Ferreira said. “Two cops showed up. He supposedly lunged at one of them, and they shot him, and he died.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Akbar’s death made the news. Ferreira remembered one article describing his friend as a violent homeless man. He said it didn’t mention that Akbar had gone to UC Berkeley or been a straight-A student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t leave it up to the guy that wrote that article about Jihad to tell the world about him,” he remembered thinking. “It’s literally my job to tell the world about him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Ferreira had been rapping for several years. In 2003, he got together with a singer and a guitarist at an Oakland recording studio and started a group called Flipsyde.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/e5QEAI_O2IA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/e5QEAI_O2IA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“If you go back through all our songs, 90-95% of them deal with how this system victimizes people,” he said. “I’m carrying everything with me — all the people that have passed away with me — and I’m working as hard as I possibly can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group took off. Flipsyde traveled the world with Snoop Dogg, Akon and the Black Eyed Peas. In 2006, NBC made their song “Someday” the theme song for their Winter Olympics coverage. But they were always a bigger deal abroad than they were back home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I needed to do more than just write a song,” Ferreira said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ferreira, the turning point came on New Year’s Day in 2009. In the early hours of the morning, Oscar Grant was shot by a white police officer on the platform of Oakland’s Fruitvale BART Station. His death was filmed by bystanders. Ferreira watched the video and took to the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I go to the protest,” he said. “And I remember a journalist was interviewing artists. And he said, ‘What can we do as artists to make sure this never happens again?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

[And] if a miracle happens and we get rid of this cop, who’s going to replace him?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferreira said he struggled with that question for a while. Then, he said, “I thought, ‘I should start thinking about going into law enforcement.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Surviving the Battle\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When Ferreira first told his family he was thinking of becoming a cop, they were terrified for him — and a few relatives were angry. Ferreira wondered whether he would be allowed to join law enforcement at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been all over the world, rapping in front of Snoop’s weed plants,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2010, with a friend’s encouragement, Ferreira put down $5,000 and enrolled in the Alameda County Sheriff Academy. On his first day, he walked into a classroom with over 50 other recruits. Only five of them were Black men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re in there, it’s eye opening,” Ferreira said. “You see all these people being trained, and a lot of them are good dudes. It’s like being on a football team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers who trained the recruits were tough and protective, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their whole thing is, ‘My students will survive the battle. They will live,’” said Ferreira. “You watch videos of cops being killed, and they pick those videos apart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferreira doesn’t remember watching or analyzing any videos where the cops were the ones that killed people. According to Alameda County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Sgt. Ray Kelly, the department now includes videos of officer-involved shootings in their trainings, but they didn’t when Ferreira was in the academy. Ferreira also said they didn’t really go into the history of the communities they’d be policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He expected to get kicked out of the Academy. Instead, he gave a speech at their graduation. By 2011, Ferreira was on the force, policing some of the same neighborhoods he was born and raised in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Each morning, a rotation of regular customers would enter the restaurant, order their usual – sometimes a bun or a pastry from the bakery counter – and sit down to survey who else from the neighborhood was around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people, mostly older people, come every day to sit down and just have a cup of coffee, or a cup of \u003ci>lai chai,\u003c/i>” Tsang said. “They just want to see if they know anybody so they can chat, chat, chat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Lai chai,\u003c/i> or milk tea, is one of the many Hong Kong staples that Tsang has offered at her restaurant, a local favorite, for over two decades, along with their beloved baked pork chop rice plates and salt and pepper chicken wings. Her loyal customers include Chinatown residents who live in single-room occupancy hotels (SROs). They treat Tsang’s restaurant, and other immigrant and family-owned businesses, as an essential place to catch up and socialize with one another because many of their cramped buildings lack common areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since the COVID-19 pandemic, small business owners like Tsang are facing the devastating reality that many will not survive. Tens of thousands have already permanently closed in the United States, and it is uncertain when another round of federal government assistance will arrive. Aid from the federal Paycheck Protection Program has largely run out for those who could get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eviction moratoriums have prevented more San Francisco businesses from folding, but the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://oewd.org/sites/default/files/Documents/Guidance%20Temporary%20Moratorium%20on%20Commercial%20Evictions_v8.12.2020%20expires%209.14.20.pdf\">commercial eviction moratorium\u003c/a> ends on Sept. 14. That means commercial tenants will have until Monday to pay back missed rent payments – which for many add up to six months rent – or else landlords can start evicting them as early as October. Locals fear that once commercial evictions begin, those who depend on the businesses for jobs, culture and community will be displaced, and the cultural landscape of San Francisco will be irreparably harmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real estate attorney \u003ca href=\"https://www.perkinscoie.com/en/professionals/allan-e-low.html\">Allan Low\u003c/a> is working pro bono to assist small business owners in the city’s Asian cultural districts. He says without immediate steps on both the federal and local level to address the threat of permanent closures, “We’re going to be faced with a tidal wave of evictions, bankruptcies and retail landscapes that are just going to be completely obliterated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that could mean devastation to neighborhoods that have largely defined San Francisco’s unique culture, including Chinatown, Japantown and the city’s newest cultural district, SOMA Pilipinas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ripple effects will hit the larger Bay Area Asian Pacific Islander American population that depend on these hubs for a sense of belonging, essential services and cultural empowerment – especially in a region that has already faced rapid gentrification and demographic shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>In Chinatown: Holding Space for One Another\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Unlike its more affluent neighbors in Russian Hill and North Beach, Chinatown has been able to stave off years of housing and development pressures thanks to its strong community, tenant organizing and zoning restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin says the neighborhood has benefited from its “incredibly rich fabric of community-based organizations” such as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.chinatowncdc.org/\">Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC)\u003c/a>.

The photos are a popular Japanese phenomenon that Kimura wanted to bring to the U.S. after living in Japan for several years. It’s an in-person and unique social experience that has made it impossible for the business to reopen during the pandemic. Despite no revenue, Pika Pika continues to receive monthly invoices for rent and services, according to Kimura, who says he and his family are now leaning towards closing up the 14-year-old shop for good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the businesses, like Pika Pika, highlight unique aspects of Japanese culture, from gardening knowledge to selling products that would otherwise only be found in Japan.

It grew into a thriving community that spanned about 40 blocks during its heyday until Executive Order 9066 during World War II swept Japanese citizens and Japanese Americans into internment camps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, through years of economic development, buildings have been razed and the neighborhood has been reduced into only a commercial district. It’s why protecting the mom-and-pop shops in Japantown is an effort to preserve the cultural heart of the wider Bay Area Japanese American community, many of whom come into San Francisco to convene and continue important traditions. Japantown is less residential than Chinatown but it serves as a focal point for key community events and festivals, including local basketball league games, the annual Cherry Blossom and Obon Festivals and gatherings at the Japanese Buddhist church in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11837572\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11837572\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44778_061_KQED_Japantown_Businesses_09022020-qut-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44778_061_KQED_Japantown_Businesses_09022020-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44778_061_KQED_Japantown_Businesses_09022020-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44778_061_KQED_Japantown_Businesses_09022020-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44778_061_KQED_Japantown_Businesses_09022020-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44778_061_KQED_Japantown_Businesses_09022020-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Xiao Feng brings out an order at the Matcha Cafe Maiko at the Japan Center West Mall on Sept. 2, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kristy Wang, a community planning policy director with the\u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/\"> San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR)\u003c/a> adds that keeping businesses alive in these neighborhoods is essential in preserving a cultural home base for communities, even if they move away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She cites the exodus of San Francisco’s Black population as an example: “So many people have had to move out or decided to move out.

Since its establishment and before the pandemic, SOMA Pilipinas had 18 businesses in the neighborhood – its main corridor is on Mission Street between Fifth and Seventh streets – and many of its owners are younger Filipino entrepreneurs and artists.

He established his own barber shop, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youbyhu.com/\">Yoü by Hü\u003c/a>, on Sixth Street in August 2019 and says it provided an opportunity to continue a family and cultural legacy – he frequently runs into SOMA community members who remember his grandfather fondly – and empower himself to contribute something new for the larger SOMA community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The one thing I'm most proud of is I've turned myself into a business. Like, I am the business,” Gamit said. “My space on Sixth Street, that's my place, that's like my home court.” He says it’s especially meaningful as someone who was born and raised in the city who has witnessed the power shifts and dynamics of gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dreams of entrepreneurs like Gamit have been thwarted by the coronavirus, which has kept him from opening his shop since March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some food businesses in the neighborhood have been able to survive by \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11815455/struggling-fil-am-restaurants-are-helping-feed-frontline-filipino-health-workers\">feeding front-line Filipino health workers\u003c/a>, an initiative designed by Kultivate Labs.

Her loyal customers include Chinatown residents who live in single-room occupancy hotels (SROs). They treat Tsang’s restaurant, and other immigrant and family-owned businesses, as an essential place to catch up and socialize with one another because many of their cramped buildings lack common areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tens of thousands have already permanently closed in the United States, and it is uncertain when another round of federal government assistance will arrive.

That means commercial tenants will have until Monday to pay back missed rent payments – which for many add up to six months rent – or else landlords can start evicting them as early as October. Locals fear that once commercial evictions begin, those who depend on the businesses for jobs, culture and community will be displaced, and the cultural landscape of San Francisco will be irreparably harmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real estate attorney \u003ca href=\"https://www.perkinscoie.com/en/professionals/allan-e-low.html\">Allan Low\u003c/a> is working pro bono to assist small business owners in the city’s Asian cultural districts.

But as urban renewal and development sought to grow the city’s Financial District, Filipinos were slowly pushed out of the area. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NotoriousECG/status/1290829342059016193\">The tension came to a head in 1977\u003c/a>, when the International Hotel, or I-Hotel, a residential building for Filipino immigrants, faced eviction threats, which led to large protests and coalition building with other groups, including Chinese and Japanese American activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, I-Hotel evictions took place and shifted Filipino immigrants to the SOMA district, where they opened up businesses and established storefronts. But they then faced additional mass displacement during the development of Yerba Buena and Moscone centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SOMA Pilipinas is kind of a great hope of ‘we can finally write the narratives that we always wanted,’ ” said Desi Danganan, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://kultivatelabs.com/\">Kultivate Labs\u003c/a>, a nonprofit arts and economic development organization, who helped spearhead the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of these past struggles led up to this momentous opportunity to develop our community in one of the most wealthiest progressive cities in the world,” said Danganan. Since its establishment and before the pandemic, SOMA Pilipinas had 18 businesses in the neighborhood – its main corridor is on Mission Street between Fifth and Seventh streets – and many of its owners are younger Filipino entrepreneurs and artists. The district has since lost four businesses due to the economic challenges of the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11837568\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11837568\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44753_031_KQED_SOMAPilipinas_Businesses_09022020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44753_031_KQED_SOMAPilipinas_Businesses_09022020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44753_031_KQED_SOMAPilipinas_Businesses_09022020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44753_031_KQED_SOMAPilipinas_Businesses_09022020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44753_031_KQED_SOMAPilipinas_Businesses_09022020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/RS44753_031_KQED_SOMAPilipinas_Businesses_09022020-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A person rides a bike by a mural on Bindlestiff, a Filipinx black box theater on 6th Street in the SOMA Pilipinas neighborhood in San Francisco on Sept. 2, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a survey conducted a few months ago, more than half of the food and retail businesses in SOMA Pilipinas have lost more than 90% of their revenue, largely attributed to the lack of foot traffic from employees in nearby office buildings, including the Twitter headquarters. Nearly 70% of the businesses say they only had a handful of months left to stay afloat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact on SOMA Pilipinas may mean a serious hurdle for new Filipino entrepreneurs who saw the new business district as a source of cultural empowerment. With a background in entrepreneurship and business marketing, Danganan says he realized early on that establishing an economic footprint would be critical in creating a cultural space for the Filipino community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Access to capital and mentorship was the biggest barrier to entry into doing business in the south of market, or SOMA Pilipinas,” he said. Through Kultivate Labs, Danganan and his team function as an incubator to help kickstart Filipino businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One such business owner is Hü Gamit, a 27-year-old San Francisco native who followed in the footsteps of his late grandfather, Papay, who once owned The Gamit Barbershop on 6th Street. He grew up in his grandfather’s shop, which he says was a safe space for Filipino immigrants, and watched him bond with the local community. He established his own barber shop, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youbyhu.com/\">Yoü by Hü\u003c/a>, on Sixth Street in August 2019 and says it provided an opportunity to continue a family and cultural legacy – he frequently runs into SOMA community members who remember his grandfather fondly – and empower himself to contribute something new for the larger SOMA community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The one thing I'm most proud of is I've turned myself into a business. Like, I am the business,” Gamit said. “My space on Sixth Street, that's my place, that's like my home court.” He says it’s especially meaningful as someone who was born and raised in the city who has witnessed the power shifts and dynamics of gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dreams of entrepreneurs like Gamit have been thwarted by the coronavirus, which has kept him from opening his shop since March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some food businesses in the neighborhood have been able to survive by \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11815455/struggling-fil-am-restaurants-are-helping-feed-frontline-filipino-health-workers\">feeding front-line Filipino health workers\u003c/a>, an initiative designed by Kultivate Labs.

DeJoy announced this week that the service changes would be suspended until after the election.

On Wednesday night, California Senator Kamala Harris made history by becoming the first woman and first Asian American to accept the vice presidency nomination from a major political party, joining Joe Biden as his running mate. The virtual convention featured not only impassioned speeches from Democratic heavyweights such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren, but also endorsements of Joe Biden by Republicans like former Ohio governor John Kasich and Colin Powell. A diverse group of Americans also gave personal testimonials of the impact that President Trump’s policies have had on them and their families. Meanwhile, President Trump held rallies in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Minnesota on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, followed by rallies in Arizona and Pennsylvania where he denounced Biden, accusing him of wanting to raise taxes, weaken border security and “kill the stock market.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, politics and government reporter, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, fellow, Hoover Institution \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote, New Challenges Loom\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week marked the 100-year anniversary of women’s right to vote and they’ve used it in increasing numbers.

Meanwhile, President Trump held rallies in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Minnesota on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, followed by rallies in Arizona and Pennsylvania where he denounced Biden, accusing him of wanting to raise taxes, weaken border security and “kill the stock market.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, politics and government reporter, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, fellow, Hoover Institution \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>On Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote, New Challenges Loom\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week marked the 100-year anniversary of women’s right to vote and they’ve used it in increasing numbers. In fact, for the past 40 years, more women have voted in every single presidential election than men. And despite a record number of women in Congress today, along with the selection of California senator Kamala Harris on a history-making presidential ticket, women still face daunting challenges to winning elected office or even casting a ballot in some states that have imposed restrictions on voting, from stringent voter ID laws to closing polling places.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
