"title": "Senior Editor of KQED's Silicon Valley News Desk",
"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Gavin Newsom. This week, he partnered with former California governors to urge everyone to wear a mask. Health officials are monitoring the number of positive tests as a sign of how much the virus is spreading and how to go about reopening businesses. Here in the Bay Area, the number of positive tests has generally remained below the state average of five percent, with the exception of Marin County — where cases have shot up in the past week, due in part to an outbreak at San Quentin State Prison.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Matt Willis, health officer, Marin County Dept. of Public Health\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Goodwill Hit Hard by Pandemic\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goodwill has 67 stores in the Bay Area and hundreds more throughout the state, which all closed under the shelter-in-place orders. As those restrictions have loosened, some Goodwill locations have opened their doors for shopping and donations, with new social distancing and contact-free procedures. But several local Goodwill stores are likely to close permanently, as the organization struggles to provide for its employees. We talk with the President & CEO of Goodwill about the impact of the pandemic on their business.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">William Rogers, president & CEO of Goodwill of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Celebrating Pride 2020 Online \u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Founded in 1977, Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival, is the longest-running film exhibition event of its kind in the world.

Gavin Newsom. This week, he partnered with former California governors to urge everyone to wear a mask. Health officials are monitoring the number of positive tests as a sign of how much the virus is spreading and how to go about reopening businesses. Here in the Bay Area, the number of positive tests has generally remained below the state average of five percent, with the exception of Marin County — where cases have shot up in the past week, due in part to an outbreak at San Quentin State Prison.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Matt Willis, health officer, Marin County Dept. of Public Health\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Goodwill Hit Hard by Pandemic\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goodwill has 67 stores in the Bay Area and hundreds more throughout the state, which all closed under the shelter-in-place orders. As those restrictions have loosened, some Goodwill locations have opened their doors for shopping and donations, with new social distancing and contact-free procedures. But several local Goodwill stores are likely to close permanently, as the organization struggles to provide for its employees.

It’s been able to pay for the rooms with nearly $100,000 in philanthropic donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group is working on finding places to move people as they exit hotel rooms, anything from apartments or rooms to rent, tiny homes or working RVs. But, she says, finding those affordable options has been a real challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is very clear to us is that having people in a stable environment for any amount of time and then releasing them back into the streets is going to cause so much trauma and mental hardship,” de Asis Miralle said. “We’re not going to allow that to happen to our folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11825657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11825657\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotels_WEB-e1592937750672.jpg\" alt=\"This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1576\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Alameda County Health Care Services Agency)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Alan Tolbert, the opportunity to have a room in a San Francisco hotel has been transformative.

The Village has housed about 40 families and individuals in hotel rooms as an alternative to the county and the state-led Project Roomkey. It’s been able to pay for the rooms with nearly $100,000 in philanthropic donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group is working on finding places to move people as they exit hotel rooms, anything from apartments or rooms to rent, tiny homes or working RVs. But, she says, finding those affordable options has been a real challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is very clear to us is that having people in a stable environment for any amount of time and then releasing them back into the streets is going to cause so much trauma and mental hardship,” de Asis Miralle said. “We’re not going to allow that to happen to our folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11825657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11825657\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/AlCo-Hotels_WEB-e1592937750672.jpg\" alt=\"This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1576\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This Comfort Inn in Oakland was one of the first hotels to become part of Project Roomkey. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Alameda County Health Care Services Agency)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Alan Tolbert, the opportunity to have a room in a San Francisco hotel has been transformative.

That, at least, is what initially drew former public policy and social impact manager Ifeoma Ozoma to Pinterest in July of 2018 from her previous job at Facebook\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought this is a company that believes in diversity, or at least says it does,” she said. But less than a year later, Ozoma raised concerns about being underpaid for the level of work she was performing at the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t being paid fairly, and according to the company’s own chart, while I was still the public face of the all of the work that was being used to prop the company up as a responsible tech company in a sea of irresponsible ones,” Ozoma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, companies across America have gone all out declaring their corporate allyship with Black Lives Matter. Silicon Valley companies have done the same, but that’s generated public backlash from current and former Black employees. None became more viral than Ozoma’s tweet thread earlier this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/IfeomaOzoma/status/1272546213322080258?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Ozoma was still working for Pinterest, she said she led a number of initiatives she felt really good about, like taking down \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.pinterest.com/en/post/bringing-authoritative-vaccine-results-to-pinterest-search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">misinformation about vaccines\u003c/a> on Pinterest. She also got the platform to end its practices promoting \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/05/style/plantation-weddings-pinterest-knot-zola.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slave plantations as wedding venues\u003c/a> — although she took heat in her performance review later and was told it was because she hadn’t made the case for not ending the practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I should have come up with the pros for promoting slave plantations.

Silicon Valley companies have done the same, but that’s generated public backlash from current and former Black employees.

"content": "\u003cp>Under a newly proposed ballot measure, many San Francisco workers would be able to receive additional paid sick leave benefits during future public health crises or unhealthy air days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure, introduced Tuesday by Supervisor Gordon Mar, seeks to make permanent the city's current emergency benefit, which requires large San Francisco employers to grant two weeks of paid leave per year to some 200,000 workers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposal would make paid leave automatically available during any future public health emergency, such as a resurgence of the virus. It would also include coverage for disruptive unhealthy air quality days, like those caused by smoke from the 2018 Camp Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"paid-sick-leave\"]San Francisco workers — not just residents — at private companies with 500 or more employees would be eligible for the benefit, in addition to any other benefits employees already receive. It would be automatically available during declared public emergencies if workers get sick or have to care for a family member or if their work places are closed and they're unable to work remotely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in the middle — or maybe just the start — of an historic pandemic with no clear end in sight,\" Mar, who represents the Sunset District, said in a statement. “Climate change continues to exacerbate our wildfire seasons, and future fires may be more dangerous than any before. We need laws that reflect the urgency and the grave reality of these threats and provide safety and security in the face of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal comes as the city and state continue to significantly loosen shelter-in-place restrictions, allowing many businesses to reopen, even as cases of the coronavirus continue to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States is one of the few industrialized nations in the world where workers are not guaranteed paid sick leave, and in California, employers are only required to provide three days of paid sick leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the current emergency paid leave bill, the proposed measure would have no impact on city budgets, as the onus would rest entirely on employers, said Edward Wright, Mar's legislative aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That's part of the reason why we focused on large employers,” he said, noting the strain it could place on small businesses. “They're better suited and more capable of providing this kind of benefit to their workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure needs six votes from the Board of Supervisors to be placed on the November ballot, where it would require approval from a majority of San Francisco voters. If it passes, San Francisco would be one of the first cities in the nation to permanently guarantee paid sick leave to workers during future emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We weren't the first city to do an emergency version of this, [but] I'm not aware of any that have made it permanent to anticipate future emergencies. We may be the first on that,\" Wright said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The proposal would make paid leave automatically available during any future public health emergency, such as a resurgence of the virus. It would also include coverage for disruptive unhealthy air quality days, like those caused by smoke from the 2018 Camp Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We need laws that reflect the urgency and the grave reality of these threats and provide safety and security in the face of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal comes as the city and state continue to significantly loosen shelter-in-place restrictions, allowing many businesses to reopen, even as cases of the coronavirus continue to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States is one of the few industrialized nations in the world where workers are not guaranteed paid sick leave, and in California, employers are only required to provide three days of paid sick leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the current emergency paid leave bill, the proposed measure would have no impact on city budgets, as the onus would rest entirely on employers, said Edward Wright, Mar's legislative aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That's part of the reason why we focused on large employers,” he said, noting the strain it could place on small businesses. “They're better suited and more capable of providing this kind of benefit to their workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom always said that his approach to reopening California during the COVID-19 pandemic would be \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812296/newsoms-roadmap-to-guide-california-out-of-isolation\">more of a \"dimmer switch\"\u003c/a> than an on/off button —\u003cem> \u003c/em>and now we're seeing how drastically that switch can move down as well as up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to surge across much of California, on July 13 Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap-counties/\">ordered every county in the state\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CAPublicHealth/status/1283068880747978753\">immediately shutter\u003c/a> all bars and shut down indoor service in restaurants, wineries, zoos, museums, cardrooms, movie theaters and family entertainment centers (like bowling alleys and batting cages). Additionally, he ordered 30 counties — comprising about 80% of the state's population — to close indoor operations at fitness centers, places of worship, non-essential business offices, personal care services, malls, hair salons and barbershops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAPublicHealth/status/1283068880747978753\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom \u003cem>has\u003c/em> targeted the indoor operations of businesses like bars and restaurants — but not on this statewide scale. Just days before the July holiday, he announced the\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827083/newsoms-california-closures-ahead-of-july-4th-what-you-need-to-know\"> three-week closure of many commercial indoor activities\u003c/a> in 19 counties, to address the increase in confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's COVID-19 \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COVID19CountyDataTable.aspx\">watch list \u003c/a>now includes San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Marin, Sonoma, Santa Clara and Napa in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Closures Come One Month After \"Reopening\"\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Newsom's last major statewide order, back on June 12, was about \u003cem>reopening\u003c/em> not closing. While much of the Bay Area chose to hold back, many counties across California were able to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR20-113.aspx#\">reopen public businesses\u003c/a> including movie theaters, gyms and bars, after getting a green light from the state's Department of Public Health. Many of these were the same businesses that are now being ordered to close back up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That June loosening of COVID-19-related restrictions represented California’s shift into \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap/#top\">Stage 3\u003c/a> of its reopening plans. The majority of California’s counties — including Napa, Solano and Sonoma — were quickly approved by the state to move into this next phase, pending clearance from local public health officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Bay Area's six other counties — San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara — initially opted for a slower, more cautious reopening timeline, they all then also chose to apply for this \"variance attestation\" to follow the state's timeline, with Alameda as \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/east-bay/oakland-zoo-may-reopen-soon-after-county-votes-to-support-covid-19-variance/2326079/\">the last to apply\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As COVID-19 cases began to rise again locally, San Francisco's surge toward and then \u003cem>away\u003c/em> from reopening was perhaps one of the most dramatic in the Bay Area. In mid-June, S.F. applied for its variance alongside a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/supes-support-greater-flexibility-in-easing-covid-19-restrictions/\">newly-accelerated timeline\u003c/a> that would have seen \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/step-by-step/reopening-san-francisco\">businesses like outdoor bars reopening\u003c/a> on June 29, several weeks before originally projected. On June 26 those plans were then \"temporarily\" placed on hold by Mayor London Breed, who attributed her decision to the number of COVID-19 cases in the city \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1276596917770715136?s=20\">\"rapidly rising.\" \u003c/a>A revised date of July 13 was set for these S.F. reopenings, but on July 7 that projection was \u003cem>also\u003c/em> put on pause, with \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1280573763239596032\">Breed saying\u003c/a> \"our public health experts feel it is not safe to move forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroll down to see what's still cleared for reopening in California from that June order, what's been closed again by the most recent announcement, and whether these new rules will apply to \u003cem>your\u003c/em> county ... or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Gyms\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824024\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11824024 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/10-lb-rogue-weight-plate-near-people-gathered-703016-NEW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/10-lb-rogue-weight-plate-near-people-gathered-703016-NEW.jpg 1900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/10-lb-rogue-weight-plate-near-people-gathered-703016-NEW-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/10-lb-rogue-weight-plate-near-people-gathered-703016-NEW-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/10-lb-rogue-weight-plate-near-people-gathered-703016-NEW-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California has given the green light to gyms reopening in the state.

The guidance issued emphasized facilitating social distancing and one-way movement through exhibits, and cleaning protocols for shared areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.solanocounty.com/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=32398\">Solano \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/smc-reopening\">San Mateo\u003c/a> were the only Bay Area counties to have reopened their indoor museums, which must now stay closed after their \u003cem>initial\u003c/em> closure due to being on the state's watch list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All other Bay Area counties must now keep their plans for reopening indoor museums on pause. Contra Costa County had already postponed the return of indoor museums when they opted to\u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/press-releases/2020/0629-Postpone-COVID-19-Reopening-Timeline.php\"> pause their July 1 reopening plans\u003c/a>, even before they were included in Newsom's closure order for being on the watch list. San Francisco originally set indoor museum reopenings for \"August and beyond,\" and then moved that up to June 29, according to its newly-accelerated timeline for certain businesses, but \u003cem>then\u003c/em> the city\u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/step-by-step/reopening-san-francisco\"> declared the reopening \"on hold.\"\u003c/a> Alameda County was planning for indoor museums to be \u003ca href=\"http://www.acphd.org/media/584319/alameda-county-covid-19-reopening-plan-english.pdf\">still \u003cem>several\u003c/em> phases of reopening away\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Final Reminder\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember: certain businesses and activities remain firmly \u003cem>off\u003c/em> California’s list for imminent reopening, including live theater, saunas and steam rooms, nightclubs, concert venues, festivals and theme parks. This means it’ll definitely be more time before you see any of \u003cem>those\u003c/em> open back up in the Bay Area, even if Newsom and the state Department of Public Health decide to give the green light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of what state officials announce, whether \u003cem>you\u003c/em> can finally return to your gym, hair salon or beloved bar in the future is almost entirely dependent on what your particular county decides. How far a county can “reopen” depends on whether it meets certain metrics, including number of cases, positive test rates and testing and tracing capabilities.

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
