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.",

At a high level, we’re thinking about patrons coming in the building down the road and metering access and the number of people that enter the building. We’re thinking about floor plans. But that’s a longer term proposition. And we’re going to proceed very cautiously in the near term because the health and safety of our staff and our patrons is our top priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What branches other than the Main branch do you plan to reopen when SFPL To Go launches?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll prioritize equity in selecting which branches to reopen and strive to have broad coverage throughout the city. We’ll also weigh the architectural design of our neighborhood branches to figure out which will be optimal for the SFPL To Go service model. It’s too early to tell which neighborhood branches will reopen first, but we’ll seek to narrow our options in the coming weeks as our planning efforts continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is it taking so long to get curbside pickup going compared to other cities? Everyone’s dealing with the same health and safety issues.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think there’s a couple of reasons why. Number one, the City and County of San Francisco’s response to this pandemic has been unique. We are an outlier. San Francisco has fared much better than other cities.[aside postID=\"news_11824854\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Number two, we have also been unique in how much the city has relied on the library’s workforce for responding to the public health emergency. We have 40 percent of the library’s workforce currently deployed feeding people, sheltering people, serving as contact tracers. There’s no other municipality in the country that has activated library personnel on this scale. So that’s another huge contingency for me as a department head and thinking about reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m working with the city’s Department of Human Resources and the Office of the City Administrator to orchestrate the return of library workers to my department from their DSW [Disaster Service Workers] activations. The city will need some of my workforce potentially for the entire upcoming fiscal year. The need for contact tracers, for example, is critical. So I do envision some of our workforce will continue as disaster service workers for the foreseeable future. But other workers, for example, the ones in the hotels — I’m optimistic that we will get those folks back in the near term. I understand that the Human Services Agency is looking to contract that work out to nonprofits. And once they can have the alternative workforce in place, then my branch managers can come back to the library and help me stand up SFPL To Go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why will it take so long to get some library workers back into their regular jobs? Why can’t the city find other people to take over for them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I share my staff’s eagerness to reopen and resume library services. But I also understand that the city’s priorities overall are to protect vulnerable populations, ensure that there’s adequate availability of alternative housing and be prepared for a medical surge. I’m realistic about this upcoming year and the city’s need for disaster service workers — I do expect that to continue on some level. What I’m working on is trying to balance reopening libraries with our ability to continue supporting the city’s priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are librarians deployed in this manner in such high numbers? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re a very well funded, well supported library system. We have 28 library locations that were open seven days a week. At the time we closed on March 13, we had the largest idle workforce of any city department. So as the city needed to respond to the public health emergency, we were a logical source of city workers for staffing food pantries and doing community outreach and the myriad roles that library staff are currently serving in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When was the last time the San Francisco Public Library workforce was deployed on this scale?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s certainly unprecedented. We are now in the longest sustained closure of our library system since World War II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The City of San Francisco is paying the salaries of workers currently serving in DSW roles. But the city is expecting to eventually get reimbursed for much of these salaries by FEMA and other state and federal disaster recovery funds. Does this provide the city with a further incentive to keep library workers serving in emergency roles?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t think so. I think the main reason to rely on library workers to perform disaster service work or functions is because there’s a need for library staff to help be a part of the city’s response. That’s the primary driver of why library workers are being called upon. I don’t think it’s a financial motive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A library worker who responded to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824854/san-francisco-libraries-still-closed-as-their-staff-work-on-covid-19-front-lines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last week’s KQED story\u003c/a> about the San Francisco library system on social media wrote, “Staff was forced to exhaust their sick pay or not get paid at all if they did not want to go to the front lines.” KQED has received similar comments from other library workers. What’s your response to this criticism?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel for our library staff that were unable to report for their disaster service work reactivations. In those scenarios, people have options. Depending on what their individual circumstances are, they can either use their vacation time or their sick leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if someone runs out of leave? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have the option of using unpaid leave and there may be some other options they have available to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The latest word from the city is that library workers are assured salaries through the end of June. Is that date likely to be extended?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like everyone else, I’m eagerly awaiting an updated communication about the continuance of that benefit, hopefully this week. This affects all city employees, not just the library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will happen if employees’ salaries are not extended beyond June 30?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am an optimist. I do not foresee people’s pay getting cut off next week and I’m going to do everything in my power to continue providing as robust a service as we can provide to the community under this global pandemic, while also doing right by our staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

At a high level, we’re thinking about patrons coming in the building down the road and metering access and the number of people that enter the building. We’re thinking about floor plans. But that’s a longer term proposition. And we’re going to proceed very cautiously in the near term because the health and safety of our staff and our patrons is our top priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What branches other than the Main branch do you plan to reopen when SFPL To Go launches?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll prioritize equity in selecting which branches to reopen and strive to have broad coverage throughout the city. We’ll also weigh the architectural design of our neighborhood branches to figure out which will be optimal for the SFPL To Go service model. It’s too early to tell which neighborhood branches will reopen first, but we’ll seek to narrow our options in the coming weeks as our planning efforts continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is it taking so long to get curbside pickup going compared to other cities? Everyone’s dealing with the same health and safety issues.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think there’s a couple of reasons why. Number one, the City and County of San Francisco’s response to this pandemic has been unique. We are an outlier. San Francisco has fared much better than other cities.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We have 40 percent of the library’s workforce currently deployed feeding people, sheltering people, serving as contact tracers. There’s no other municipality in the country that has activated library personnel on this scale. So that’s another huge contingency for me as a department head and thinking about reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m working with the city’s Department of Human Resources and the Office of the City Administrator to orchestrate the return of library workers to my department from their DSW [Disaster Service Workers] activations. The city will need some of my workforce potentially for the entire upcoming fiscal year. The need for contact tracers, for example, is critical. So I do envision some of our workforce will continue as disaster service workers for the foreseeable future. But other workers, for example, the ones in the hotels — I’m optimistic that we will get those folks back in the near term. I understand that the Human Services Agency is looking to contract that work out to nonprofits. And once they can have the alternative workforce in place, then my branch managers can come back to the library and help me stand up SFPL To Go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why will it take so long to get some library workers back into their regular jobs? Why can’t the city find other people to take over for them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I share my staff’s eagerness to reopen and resume library services. But I also understand that the city’s priorities overall are to protect vulnerable populations, ensure that there’s adequate availability of alternative housing and be prepared for a medical surge. I’m realistic about this upcoming year and the city’s need for disaster service workers — I do expect that to continue on some level. What I’m working on is trying to balance reopening libraries with our ability to continue supporting the city’s priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are librarians deployed in this manner in such high numbers? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re a very well funded, well supported library system. We have 28 library locations that were open seven days a week. At the time we closed on March 13, we had the largest idle workforce of any city department. So as the city needed to respond to the public health emergency, we were a logical source of city workers for staffing food pantries and doing community outreach and the myriad roles that library staff are currently serving in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When was the last time the San Francisco Public Library workforce was deployed on this scale?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s certainly unprecedented. We are now in the longest sustained closure of our library system since World War II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The City of San Francisco is paying the salaries of workers currently serving in DSW roles. But the city is expecting to eventually get reimbursed for much of these salaries by FEMA and other state and federal disaster recovery funds. Does this provide the city with a further incentive to keep library workers serving in emergency roles?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t think so. I think the main reason to rely on library workers to perform disaster service work or functions is because there’s a need for library staff to help be a part of the city’s response. That’s the primary driver of why library workers are being called upon. I don’t think it’s a financial motive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A library worker who responded to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824854/san-francisco-libraries-still-closed-as-their-staff-work-on-covid-19-front-lines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last week’s KQED story\u003c/a> about the San Francisco library system on social media wrote, “Staff was forced to exhaust their sick pay or not get paid at all if they did not want to go to the front lines.” KQED has received similar comments from other library workers. What’s your response to this criticism?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel for our library staff that were unable to report for their disaster service work reactivations. In those scenarios, people have options. Depending on what their individual circumstances are, they can either use their vacation time or their sick leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if someone runs out of leave? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have the option of using unpaid leave and there may be some other options they have available to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The latest word from the city is that library workers are assured salaries through the end of June. Is that date likely to be extended?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like everyone else, I’m eagerly awaiting an updated communication about the continuance of that benefit, hopefully this week. This affects all city employees, not just the library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will happen if employees’ salaries are not extended beyond June 30?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am an optimist. I do not foresee people’s pay getting cut off next week and I’m going to do everything in my power to continue providing as robust a service as we can provide to the community under this global pandemic, while also doing right by our staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Today, \u003ca href=\"http://yosimarreyes.com/\">Yosimar Reyes\u003c/a> has his own book club, the Yosi Book Club, which has cultivated a significant following among Latinx millennials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an Instagram bio that reads “undocumented socialite,” the Los Angeles-based poet and writer is fiercely upending the trauma-forward narratives that often essentialize undocumented people. Reyes’ work, while sobering, is humorous, joyful and rebellious — a stark contrast from the way these stories are often told by reporters and authors who write from an outsider's perspective.

On Monday, San Francisco retailers will be allowed to reopen for indoor shopping for the first time in three months. The city is also providing free, temporary permits to allow businesses to use public spaces, like sidewalks and parking spaces, for outdoor dining and shopping. Meanwhile, the tech sector in the Bay Area has remained relatively strong during the pandemic, with some companies such as San Francisco-based Instacart posting record growth for its on-demand grocery shopping service. Another fallout from the pandemic may be the acceleration of income inequality between low-wage service workers and tech workers, many of whom can work remotely. \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\"> Jay Cheng, public policy director, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Jeremy C.

Among the recommendations are requiring teachers to wear face coverings at all times, hand-washing stations and staggering on-site academic instruction to allow for social distancing and reduce class size. Each school district will likely develop their own set of protocols based on their needs and resources. But big challenges remain, from the difficulties of distance learning for some students to the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus outbreaks in the fall just as students are settling in to reshaped classrooms and assignments. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\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\">Julia McEvoy, senior editor of education and equity, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Dan Cooper, professor of pediatrics, UC Irvine\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

On Monday, San Francisco retailers will be allowed to reopen for indoor shopping for the first time in three months. The city is also providing free, temporary permits to allow businesses to use public spaces, like sidewalks and parking spaces, for outdoor dining and shopping. Meanwhile, the tech sector in the Bay Area has remained relatively strong during the pandemic, with some companies such as San Francisco-based Instacart posting record growth for its on-demand grocery shopping service. Another fallout from the pandemic may be the acceleration of income inequality between low-wage service workers and tech workers, many of whom can work remotely. \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\"> Jay Cheng, public policy director, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Jeremy C.

Among the recommendations are requiring teachers to wear face coverings at all times, hand-washing stations and staggering on-site academic instruction to allow for social distancing and reduce class size. Each school district will likely develop their own set of protocols based on their needs and resources. But big challenges remain, from the difficulties of distance learning for some students to the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus outbreaks in the fall just as students are settling in to reshaped classrooms and assignments. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Virginia\u003c/a> — the landmark 1967 Supreme Court case that declared laws against interracial marriage unconstitutional in the United States. With this in mind, we spoke with a few Bay Area families and experts on the importance of talking about race in multiracial families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro identifies as Filipino American and works in the education field. She lives in Walnut Creek with her husband, who is Afro-Brazilian, and their two daughters, ages 7 and 3-years-old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is the right way to educate a 7-year-old who's, like, half farts, half losing her teeth? And also 10% attention span?” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At home, they are doing history lessons she calls “American heroes are Black women.” Baltazar-Pinheiro calls to her daughter to see if she remembers who they talked about the last few days — Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells and Shirley Chisholm. Her daughter recounts the names, with a few small hints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro, mother to two daughters, ages 3 and 7-years-old\"]'If you think your whiteness will protect your mixed kids from this country as it currently stands, you’re misguided.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baltazar-Pinheiro recommends others in mixed race families educate themselves, especially since there are so many ways to do it now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you think your whiteness will protect your mixed kids from this country as it currently stands, you’re misguided,” she said. “We have words and we have language to talk about … race and class and gender — and gender fluidity and how we all want to live in this world. I just want to teach her the words that she needs so that she can always express herself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Baltazar-Pinheiro, it’s also important for families to talk to extended family. “Talk to your brother who doesn't really like your husband, but has decided that he's a pretty good guy,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a 16-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, Melanie Carvalho is balancing how to talk in an age-appropriate way with both of her children. Carvalho is white, and is a former educator who taught for 20 years in the Bay Area. She now lives in Orange County with her husband who is originally from Cape Verde, West Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carvalho said her older son is not really interested in talking, but she still tries to prompt him with questions. With her daughter, she's focusing on honoring her skin, hair and body for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven't taken it to that next level that some people are treated unfairly — it's scary because you talk about the psychological impact of them internalizing that. And I guess I want to build up her self-confidence first,” Carvalho said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her son, one of his first experiences facing race came in nursery school when a white student said, “You can’t play with me because you’re black.” Her son’s response at the time was to put black marker on his leg to show that clearly he was not that color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carvalho said she fears for her son on a more external level. “Part of that is that he is pretty solid on who he is,” but she said the world may see him as something else. For her daughter, Carvalho views her identity as being more about her self concept. “I worry that she will fall into these habits of wanting lighter skin, straighter hair. ... So I guess that's why I focus on helping her loving her hair, her skin, loving herself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824163\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11824163\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43637_001_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro, Fabiano Pinheiro, Eva Lourdes, 7, and Stella Marèsol, 3, at their home in Walnut Creek on June 11, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>What the Experts Say: 'It's Not a One-Time Conversation'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In order to get deeper into these complex questions and offer practical advice, KQED consulted a few experts.

The reality is, kids know and think about race very early in infancy. They start by three, four, five. They're noticing it. Thinking about it. And so parents can't shy away from those conversations.

Virginia\u003c/a> — the landmark 1967 Supreme Court case that declared laws against interracial marriage unconstitutional in the United States. With this in mind, we spoke with a few Bay Area families and experts on the importance of talking about race in multiracial families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro identifies as Filipino American and works in the education field. She lives in Walnut Creek with her husband, who is Afro-Brazilian, and their two daughters, ages 7 and 3-years-old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is the right way to educate a 7-year-old who's, like, half farts, half losing her teeth? And also 10% attention span?” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At home, they are doing history lessons she calls “American heroes are Black women.” Baltazar-Pinheiro calls to her daughter to see if she remembers who they talked about the last few days — Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells and Shirley Chisholm. Her daughter recounts the names, with a few small hints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I just want to teach her the words that she needs so that she can always express herself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Baltazar-Pinheiro, it’s also important for families to talk to extended family. “Talk to your brother who doesn't really like your husband, but has decided that he's a pretty good guy,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a 16-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, Melanie Carvalho is balancing how to talk in an age-appropriate way with both of her children. Carvalho is white, and is a former educator who taught for 20 years in the Bay Area.

And I guess I want to build up her self-confidence first,” Carvalho said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her son, one of his first experiences facing race came in nursery school when a white student said, “You can’t play with me because you’re black.” Her son’s response at the time was to put black marker on his leg to show that clearly he was not that color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carvalho said she fears for her son on a more external level. “Part of that is that he is pretty solid on who he is,” but she said the world may see him as something else. For her daughter, Carvalho views her identity as being more about her self concept. “I worry that she will fall into these habits of wanting lighter skin, straighter hair. ...

The reality is, kids know and think about race very early in infancy. They start by three, four, five. They're noticing it. Thinking about it. And so parents can't shy away from those conversations.

That helps buffer all sorts of negative aspects of society. You really have to be very proud of your culture and your ethnicity.” — Christia Spears Brown, developmental psychologist\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Discuss Stereotypes and Difference\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“How can you as parents help protect kids from those experiences? And the answer is, it's somewhat counterintuitive. It's not shielding them from that part of their ethnicity. It's really leaning in to that part of their ethnicity because leaning into it is what's protective.” — Christia Spears Brown, developmental psychologist\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824167\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11824167\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43646_013_KQED_WalnutCreek_BaltazarFamily_06112020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Baltazar-Pinheiro and her daughter paint in their garage on June 11, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Take a Proactive Stance — Don’t Assume Your Child Is Immune\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“First of all, it begins with the parents having a conversation, again, with themselves about how they want to raise their children.
