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.",

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.",

This week, after receiving more than 500 comments in response, the group issued \u003ca href=\"https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/ethics-guidelines-trustworthy-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ethics guidelines\u003c/a> for trustworthy artificial intelligence.

He’s excited that Europeans are starting to ask the tough questions about what we want companies like Google and Amazon to be responsible for as they dream up potential futures for us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regulating, especially regulating technology, is generally thought of as an attempt to articulate what companies should not do,” Susser said. “We also want to articulate a positive notion of what sort of world we want technology to be helping us build — and I think that will need to [hashed] out more specifically, but I’m happy to see it in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next steps include a \u003ca href=\"http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-1893_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pilot program\u003c/a> to develop draft rules to roll out this summer. Whether the Europeans inspire U.S. politicians and regulators to follow suit is unclear. Americans have been singularly slow to consider a wide range of regulation issues around technology.

He’s excited that Europeans are starting to ask the tough questions about what we want companies like Google and Amazon to be responsible for as they dream up potential futures for us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Regulating, especially regulating technology, is generally thought of as an attempt to articulate what companies should not do,” Susser said. “We also want to articulate a positive notion of what sort of world we want technology to be helping us build — and I think that will need to [hashed] out more specifically, but I’m happy to see it in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next steps include a \u003ca href=\"http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-1893_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pilot program\u003c/a> to develop draft rules to roll out this summer. Whether the Europeans inspire U.S. politicians and regulators to follow suit is unclear. Americans have been singularly slow to consider a wide range of regulation issues around technology.

Merced has experienced the top personal income growth of any metro area in the country for the past five years, mostly fueled by an expanding UC campus. This Central Valley city looks like a place of prosperity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, just a few blocks away are neighborhoods where families live doubled up, where stores with fresh produce are hard to find. For many Merced families it is tough to make ends meet. Forty-three percent of all babies and toddlers in this county live in poverty. Merced is booming, but it hasn’t reached everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the Allison family: Bobbie Allison is raising her four young kids on her own. It’s a struggle, especially with her occasional job as a cashier at a 7-Eleven in Merced, where she makes about $11 an hour. They used to live in Merced but had to move to Atwater, a 30-minute drive north, to find an affordable rental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Minimum wage just doesn’t cut it,” Allison said. “I just need something that pays more than minimum wage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11738004\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11738004 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-800x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-800x480.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-160x96.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-1020x612.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-1200x720.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For Bobbie Allison, balancing work and caring for her four children is a struggle, despite California’s safety net. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite Allison’s efforts to find work to support her children, they are part of the more than one-thirds of all Merced youth who experience early childhood poverty. In the county, 43 percent of all children under the age of 3 — or nearly 4,800 youth — are impoverished, according to Kidsdata. Statewide, 285,000 families with children under 5 live in poverty, according to data from the Population Reference Bureau and Kidsdata that’s based on U.S. Census statistics for 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison hates that her family is part of such statistics. She has been through the county’s welfare-to-work program twice. Now she’s tapped out. Allison said she has put in countless job applications and has heard back only from one employer, a large poultry plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My biggest hope is Foster Farms, but that’s a very large commute,” Allison said. The pay would be $12 an hour, slightly more than 7-Eleven, and she would get more hours. Yet the commute to get to the plant and drop off her kids with a baby sitter would be about two hours each way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the problem is that it is very difficult to get out of the poverty situation,” said Monika Grasley, director of a Merced nonprofit called Lifeline CDC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Grasley’s staff are welfare recipients, so she sees their daily life struggles up-close. She said many people are working hard in Merced to make sure the poorest kids and their families don’t fall into complete disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11738016\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11738016\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36313_Bobblie-Kids-Starting-Blocks-Housing-qut-2-800x492.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36313_Bobblie-Kids-Starting-Blocks-Housing-qut-2-800x492.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36313_Bobblie-Kids-Starting-Blocks-Housing-qut-2-160x98.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36313_Bobblie-Kids-Starting-Blocks-Housing-qut-2-1020x627.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36313_Bobblie-Kids-Starting-Blocks-Housing-qut-2-1200x738.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36313_Bobblie-Kids-Starting-Blocks-Housing-qut-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">To find affordable Section 8 housing, Bobbie Allison moved 30 minutes outside Merced with her children. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Merced County has an amazing safety net for people that live in poverty,” Grasley said. Yet, she sometimes feels like those who care are so busy putting Band-Aids on the deep poverty problems that no one is thinking about helping families be self-sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being on the system and making a certain amount of resources — then to get beyond that, the jump is too big,” Grasley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of living is too high, she said. With rent, child care and transportation costs consistently rising, Bobbie Allison needs a higher-paying job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major challenge with moving people out of poverty in Merced is that one-third of all the county’s adults do not have a high school diploma, which severely limits job options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasley said the system needs to focus on giving people practical skills training — not keeping them one step ahead of disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to create a transitional stepping system where folks can actually move forward and get the training that they need and have jobs available for folks,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get out of poverty, a family would need to be self-sustaining with an income that adequately covers housing, food, clothing and child care. Researchers at the California Budget and Policy Center estimate that would be between $45,000 and $50,000 a year for a family of four in Merced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bobbie Allison doesn’t think it’s possible for her, but the mayor of Merced, Mike Murphy, hopes it will be for her and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The factors that lead to childhood poverty are issues that a number of folks in Merced and in our state are working on,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He knows many of Merced’s residents don’t have the education or professional qualifications to get higher-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our economy is diversifying. Agriculture is a big part of our way of life and our economy but that’s changing, and the largest factor in that is the presence and the growth of the University of California, Merced,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='starting-blocks' label='The Starting Blocks Series']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campus in Merced, which opened in 2005, is the newest expansion for the UC system, and many hope it will revitalize the local economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the short term, as the campus expands, there will be construction jobs available, but Murphy’s vision is much bigger: The hope is that more kids will be inspired by the UC campus to go to college, and that would make them more employable, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction is going on everywhere in the city as UC Merced’s footprint expands. Opposite Murphy’s office in downtown Merced is a brand-new building. “This was a vacant lot for the longest time, and then the university bought this and constructed this building,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes the revitalization of downtown Merced — facelifts to historic buildings and theaters, new restaurants and bars — will bring in more students and tourists. The increased economic activity, he said, should trickle down to everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One historic building in downtown Merced being renovated, The Tioga, was once a famous hotel that was later converted into apartments. Most recently, The Tioga offered 90 units of affordable housing, and the mayor confirmed the building was home to low-income residents — until the renovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was housing but it was not well-kept,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11738012\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11738012\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-800x508.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-800x508.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-160x102.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-1020x647.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-1200x761.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Economic development like this site in Merced will eventually bring new, higher-paying jobs to the community. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The downside of UC Merced’s expansion has been displacement of the city’s poor, pushing them farther out of town.

He counts on the help of the state, too, which provides welfare benefits to Merced’s poorest families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom and his administration have made ending poverty in California one of their priorities. “Child poverty is the overarching problem we’re trying to solve,” said Kris Perry, deputy assistant secretary in the state’s Health and Human Services Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry comes from the early childhood field and has seen the crisis up-close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Research has shown time and time again that it’s one thing to give parents services, it’s another thing to put cash in their pockets — that is one of the most important things you can do when you’re trying to figure out how to ameliorate poverty,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has proposed an increase to the cash aid that poor families get through the CalWORKS grant. But Perry said bringing down such high levels of poverty takes more: “This will take a really big push, not only from the state but also from the county of Merced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently released a blueprint for cutting child poverty in half in 10 years that involves new expenditures of close to $90 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group noted that the real cost of child poverty is around $1 trillion per year in lost revenues due to lower productivity in the workforce, poor health and higher crime. The plan lays out two possible plans that both involve increasing cash aid and bringing more people into the workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unlikely that the Trump administration will move on these proposals, having already signaled cuts to domestic spending and anti-poverty programs in its next budget — which leaves the lot of California’s impoverished children squarely in the hands of state and local elected representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737745\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737745\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"A scene from Atwater in the Central Valley in early 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-800x546.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-1200x819.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scene from Atwater in the Central Valley in mid-March 2019. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As for Bobbie Allison, she isn’t waiting for politicians to solve her problems.

Merced has experienced the top personal income growth of any metro area in the country for the past five years, mostly fueled by an expanding UC campus. This Central Valley city looks like a place of prosperity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, just a few blocks away are neighborhoods where families live doubled up, where stores with fresh produce are hard to find. For many Merced families it is tough to make ends meet. Forty-three percent of all babies and toddlers in this county live in poverty. Merced is booming, but it hasn’t reached everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the Allison family: Bobbie Allison is raising her four young kids on her own. It’s a struggle, especially with her occasional job as a cashier at a 7-Eleven in Merced, where she makes about $11 an hour. They used to live in Merced but had to move to Atwater, a 30-minute drive north, to find an affordable rental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Minimum wage just doesn’t cut it,” Allison said. “I just need something that pays more than minimum wage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11738004\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11738004 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-800x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-800x480.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-160x96.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-1020x612.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut-1200x720.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36408_Starting-Blocks-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For Bobbie Allison, balancing work and caring for her four children is a struggle, despite California’s safety net. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite Allison’s efforts to find work to support her children, they are part of the more than one-thirds of all Merced youth who experience early childhood poverty. In the county, 43 percent of all children under the age of 3 — or nearly 4,800 youth — are impoverished, according to Kidsdata. Statewide, 285,000 families with children under 5 live in poverty, according to data from the Population Reference Bureau and Kidsdata that’s based on U.S. Census statistics for 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now she’s tapped out. Allison said she has put in countless job applications and has heard back only from one employer, a large poultry plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My biggest hope is Foster Farms, but that’s a very large commute,” Allison said. The pay would be $12 an hour, slightly more than 7-Eleven, and she would get more hours. Yet the commute to get to the plant and drop off her kids with a baby sitter would be about two hours each way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the problem is that it is very difficult to get out of the poverty situation,” said Monika Grasley, director of a Merced nonprofit called Lifeline CDC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Grasley’s staff are welfare recipients, so she sees their daily life struggles up-close.

Yet, she sometimes feels like those who care are so busy putting Band-Aids on the deep poverty problems that no one is thinking about helping families be self-sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being on the system and making a certain amount of resources — then to get beyond that, the jump is too big,” Grasley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of living is too high, she said. With rent, child care and transportation costs consistently rising, Bobbie Allison needs a higher-paying job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major challenge with moving people out of poverty in Merced is that one-third of all the county’s adults do not have a high school diploma, which severely limits job options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasley said the system needs to focus on giving people practical skills training — not keeping them one step ahead of disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to create a transitional stepping system where folks can actually move forward and get the training that they need and have jobs available for folks,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get out of poverty, a family would need to be self-sustaining with an income that adequately covers housing, food, clothing and child care. Researchers at the California Budget and Policy Center estimate that would be between $45,000 and $50,000 a year for a family of four in Merced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bobbie Allison doesn’t think it’s possible for her, but the mayor of Merced, Mike Murphy, hopes it will be for her and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The factors that lead to childhood poverty are issues that a number of folks in Merced and in our state are working on,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He knows many of Merced’s residents don’t have the education or professional qualifications to get higher-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our economy is diversifying. Agriculture is a big part of our way of life and our economy but that’s changing, and the largest factor in that is the presence and the growth of the University of California, Merced,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Opposite Murphy’s office in downtown Merced is a brand-new building. “This was a vacant lot for the longest time, and then the university bought this and constructed this building,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes the revitalization of downtown Merced — facelifts to historic buildings and theaters, new restaurants and bars — will bring in more students and tourists. The increased economic activity, he said, should trickle down to everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One historic building in downtown Merced being renovated, The Tioga, was once a famous hotel that was later converted into apartments. Most recently, The Tioga offered 90 units of affordable housing, and the mayor confirmed the building was home to low-income residents — until the renovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was housing but it was not well-kept,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11738012\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11738012\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-800x508.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-800x508.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-160x102.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-1020x647.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut-1200x761.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36312_UC-Merced-S-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Economic development like this site in Merced will eventually bring new, higher-paying jobs to the community. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The downside of UC Merced’s expansion has been displacement of the city’s poor, pushing them farther out of town. As students and university staff move in, housing is snapped up by those with higher incomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bobbie Allison had to move from Merced to Atwater to find affordable housing and a landlord willing to accept her Section 8 housing voucher. With her job and child care still in Merced, life is more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Murphy is confident that his city will help lift up its poorest residents. He counts on the help of the state, too, which provides welfare benefits to Merced’s poorest families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom and his administration have made ending poverty in California one of their priorities. “Child poverty is the overarching problem we’re trying to solve,” said Kris Perry, deputy assistant secretary in the state’s Health and Human Services Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry comes from the early childhood field and has seen the crisis up-close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Research has shown time and time again that it’s one thing to give parents services, it’s another thing to put cash in their pockets — that is one of the most important things you can do when you’re trying to figure out how to ameliorate poverty,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has proposed an increase to the cash aid that poor families get through the CalWORKS grant. But Perry said bringing down such high levels of poverty takes more: “This will take a really big push, not only from the state but also from the county of Merced.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently released a blueprint for cutting child poverty in half in 10 years that involves new expenditures of close to $90 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group noted that the real cost of child poverty is around $1 trillion per year in lost revenues due to lower productivity in the workforce, poor health and higher crime. The plan lays out two possible plans that both involve increasing cash aid and bringing more people into the workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unlikely that the Trump administration will move on these proposals, having already signaled cuts to domestic spending and anti-poverty programs in its next budget — which leaves the lot of California’s impoverished children squarely in the hands of state and local elected representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737745\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737745\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"A scene from Atwater in the Central Valley in early 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-800x546.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut-1200x819.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/04042019_Without-Affordable-Child-Care-Escaping-Poverty-is-Tough_Atwater-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scene from Atwater in the Central Valley in mid-March 2019. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As for Bobbie Allison, she isn’t waiting for politicians to solve her problems.

His eyebrows have this way of zigging and then zagging, he sucks his lips into his mouth as if he is pondering the universe. He makes Sandoval laugh, because really, what could a four-month old be contemplating? For Sandoval, Alex is the best thing in her life, which is otherwise full of challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many first-time moms, Sandoval has been on a steep learning curve caring for Alex. She gets a lot of help from her own mother, who has eight other children, and from the child care workers who care for Alex while she finishes high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval’s mother was a teen when she had her, and despite swearing she wouldn’t do the same, here she is at 17 with a four-month old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would see all these mothers so young and I would be like, oh my god they’re so stupid, how did they get pregnant so early,” Sandoval said. She laughed and added, “and then I got pregnant and now I’m like them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval knows what everyone thinks of her being a teen mom, but she is resolute — she wants the best for her baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His mom’s determination might mean Alex will have a very bright future ahead of him, but right now he is part of a statistic that doesn’t bode well for his life chances: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/blog/?p=8727\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">43 percent of all children under three years-old in Merced county live in poverty\u003c/a>. Sandoval doesn’t know a single person her age who isn’t struggling to make ends meet. It’s just how life is, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poverty has long been a political football, and the current polarized climate lays bare the tussle. At one end, child poverty has been called a “moral outrage” by California’s progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, who has vowed to end it. At the other end of the political spectrum, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson has said poverty is a “state of mind,” echoing the Trump administration position that government aid is not the answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost two decades ago, Norma Sandoval was herself born into an impoverished family. Her father, an immigrant from Mexico, went off daily to work the fields and her mother ran an ad-hoc childcare service out of their tiny apartment, mostly to help other families so parents could go work in the fields while she looked after the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The Starting Blocks Series\" tag=\"starting-blocks\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite both her parents working full-time much of her life, in her 17 years, Sandoval nor her parents have been able to climb above their challenging economic circumstances. So, like her mother before her, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/PovertyDeeperLook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">285,162 parents statewide\u003c/a>, she too now raises her baby while living below the federal poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has all the usual concerns and anxieties of a 17-year-old, but on a recent Wednesday morning she was particularly worried about how many times Alex had pooped. Her brow was deeply creased as she discussed what to do with Emily Maltva, the lead teacher at the child development center that sits on the campus of Yosemite High School where Sandoval is a junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He pooped like twice,” Sandoval told Maltva. “I changed him and then like 10 minutes later he pooped again.” Maltva reassured her that this was completely normal for a baby. Then Sandoval confessed that it wasn’t really the pooping that worried her. Diapers are expensive. Sandoval’s brow furrowed further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have like that money or nothing,” she confessed. “But I don’t think money makes you a good mother or not,” she said, declaring that she was a very good mother for Alex. Not having money just makes things harder, Sandoval said as she prepared Alex for the half-hour trudge to her boyfriend’s parents’ apartment where they are currently living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Child poverty in California is definitely a serious problem,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst with the California Budget and Policy Center (CBPC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a problem that has gotten steadily worse over the years as the numbers of babies and children living in poverty has increased. The numbers are stark. One in five babies and toddlers in California were born into poverty in the last few years. That’s down from five years ago when one quarter of all babies statewide lived below the federal poverty line. In some places it is much higher, like Alex’s home, in Merced County, and the counties of Glenn, Colusa, Trinity and Tehama, where almost half of all babies born start life in impoverished families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is California’s Housing Crisis to Blame?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The earliest data on early childhood poverty came soon after standards for measuring poverty were first developed in the 1960s. By 1970 — one of the first years this data for young children was collected — about 14 percent of kids under five were poor in California. That number climbed steadily over the years. In 2012 it was 26 percent of all children statewide, according to Census and American Community Survey data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent studies, like one from the San Francisco-based Center for the Next Generation, highlight the long-term economic threat posed by California’s high rates of childhood poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did the baby poverty numbers get so high? The answer has little to do with babies themselves. While the cost of diapers and infant formula has risen, Kimberlin points to macro-economic factors that have seen more families fall below the poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CBPC’s Kimberlin said California’s rising housing costs have perhaps been the biggest factor in pushing more families out from self sufficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From 2006 to 2016, rents in California rose by about three times as much median annual earnings for a full-time worker,” said Kimberlin. “That just creates a long-term problem where more and more families find themselves squeezed trying to cover their basic costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis hit, the number of California children under two-years-old in poverty climbed steeply, Kimberlin said. “The great recession definitely made things worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737459\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Alex-And-Mom-Mobile-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Sandoval, age four months, begins his day at a child care center with his mom, Norma, playing with one of his favorite toys.

Norma attends Yosemite High School while Alex attends the child care center attached to the school. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kimberlin said the recession’s impact can be traced to the spike in impoverished babies and toddlers. One of the most decisive budget cuts in the years of the recession was to subsidized child care that the state of California provided for low-income families. So add to the stagnating wages and high housing costs the “shrinking availability of affordable childcare,” and Kimberlin said and you have “a perfect storm that really made it difficult for families with children to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet during the years of the recession, many Californians suffered, and the worsening situation for the state’s youngest residents didn’t sound alarm bells. Many children who are now in elementary school were babies and toddlers during the recession. They missed out on quality early education as preschool seats disappeared after 2008, and parents had to figure out babysitting or drop out of the workforce. With less family income the nutrition they received in their critical early development years was likely poorer, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lori Turk of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health (LPFCH) wonders why the moral outrage at the increasing child poverty numbers isn’t more widespread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One in five babies being born into poverty in California is just absolutely unforgivable,” Turk said. During the recession years, one quarter of all babies were born into poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the demographics of the impoverished babies and toddlers has something to do with the lack of attention and action. In California it’s disproportionately babies of color that are born into poverty, something Turk said has nothing to do with the babies themselves. “Really this is about historical discriminatory practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year Kidsdata, a project of LPFCH, releases a report documenting the number of children in poverty. Turk said the high numbers of children of color in poverty comes from the discrimination their parents have suffered over the years. “For housing, for employment, the parents may be treated differently,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been well documented that African-Americans, Latinos and other immigrant groups \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/28/redlining-was-banned-50-years-ago-its-still-hurting-minorities-today/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f359268f5cfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have encountered redlining in housing\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/article/for-people-of-color-banks-are-shutting-the-door-to-homeownership/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">banks not lending to them\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2017/09/16/job-discrimination-against-blacks-and-latinos-has-changed-little-or-none-in-25-years/#8f4a5fc51e3e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outright discrimination in the job market\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turk said if a parent deals with discrimination when they try to rent a home, or in the job market, “there’s a trickle down effect [to] their babies and their children.” Unstable employment and housing “means then their babies are directly impacted by this,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Social Safety Net Helps\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In California, poor families are not completely on their own. Experts estimate that the child poverty numbers would be almost 15 percent higher — around one in three kids — if it wasn’t for the social safety net, a tapestry of local, state and federal programs that give help to impoverished families. From Section 8 housing vouchers, to food stamps, cash aid and subsidized preschool, the welfare benefits in California are robust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is funding for providing healthful food, milk or other dairy products. There’s subsidies for parent to make sure they’re in housing for their children. There are child care subsidies,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said these programs are clearly helping families from falling into complete disaster. Norma Sandoval agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom she works, my dad works, my boyfriend’s parents they work, so no one would be able to watch the baby,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She gets MediCal for her baby and food stamps, both state and federally funded programs. Her child care is also free, paid to her high school child care center by the state of California. But she’s one of the lucky ones. \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/1-2-million-california-children-eligible-subsidized-child-care-not-receive-services-state-programs-2015/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to a 2016 report\u003c/a> from the California Budget and Policy Center, six out of seven parents eligible for child care subsidies did not get them, and the waiting list can be more than 1 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if I didn’t have child care I wouldn’t make it,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737401\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg\" alt=\"Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex.\" width=\"800\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-160x134.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1020x852.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1200x1003.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the subsidies she gets, Sandoval still can’t buy all the basics for her baby. So she leans on her family, her unofficial safety net. She doesn’t pay rent to her boyfriend’s parents, and her own parents buy her extra food and the baby’s diapers, which add up to a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the safety net that holds parents like Sandoval is working, it’s also a byzantine system to navigate. It’s something that Monika Grasley, president of a nonprofit community organization in Merced called Lifeline CDC, sees parents struggle with every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t understand why we have food stamps that allow us to buy junk food but do not provide diapers, it makes no sense to me,” Grasley said. “So what it encourages parents to do is sell their food stamps so they can purchase diapers for their babies.” And with less resources, parents tend to choose the cheapest food option for their children, which oftentimes have little nutritional value, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasley said there are also many issues that impoverished families deal with for which government help is limited or nonexistent. Many that she works with don’t have transportation. They struggle to find child care, and some don’t even have a cell phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all about how do I survive, not how do I thrive,” Grasley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norma Sandoval herself grew up with very little. But she wants better for her baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Slowly slowly we’re going to learn, slowly we’re going to get that help that we need to get a better life for us and our kids,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, on top of everything else she is juggling, Sandoval shows up to Yosemite High School which has a special program for teen moms like her. She’s got big dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My plan is to finish high school, go to college and be a nurse,” Sandoval said. She admits before getting pregnant she hated school and used to ditch classes often. Now she wouldn’t do that, “because I have a baby and I want a better life for him and me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This story is part of KQED’s series \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/starting-blocks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starting Blocks\u003c/a>, which is examining the hurdles faced by California’s kids, especially those in low income families.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Deepa Fernandes is an Early Childhood reporting fellow at Pacific Oaks College, which is funded in part by First 5 LA.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

So, like her mother before her, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/PovertyDeeperLook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">285,162 parents statewide\u003c/a>, she too now raises her baby while living below the federal poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval has all the usual concerns and anxieties of a 17-year-old, but on a recent Wednesday morning she was particularly worried about how many times Alex had pooped. Her brow was deeply creased as she discussed what to do with Emily Maltva, the lead teacher at the child development center that sits on the campus of Yosemite High School where Sandoval is a junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He pooped like twice,” Sandoval told Maltva. “I changed him and then like 10 minutes later he pooped again.” Maltva reassured her that this was completely normal for a baby. Then Sandoval confessed that it wasn’t really the pooping that worried her. Diapers are expensive. Sandoval’s brow furrowed further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have like that money or nothing,” she confessed. “But I don’t think money makes you a good mother or not,” she said, declaring that she was a very good mother for Alex. Not having money just makes things harder, Sandoval said as she prepared Alex for the half-hour trudge to her boyfriend’s parents’ apartment where they are currently living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Child poverty in California is definitely a serious problem,” said Sara Kimberlin, senior policy analyst with the California Budget and Policy Center (CBPC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a problem that has gotten steadily worse over the years as the numbers of babies and children living in poverty has increased. The numbers are stark. One in five babies and toddlers in California were born into poverty in the last few years. That’s down from five years ago when one quarter of all babies statewide lived below the federal poverty line. In some places it is much higher, like Alex’s home, in Merced County, and the counties of Glenn, Colusa, Trinity and Tehama, where almost half of all babies born start life in impoverished families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is California’s Housing Crisis to Blame?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The earliest data on early childhood poverty came soon after standards for measuring poverty were first developed in the 1960s. By 1970 — one of the first years this data for young children was collected — about 14 percent of kids under five were poor in California. That number climbed steadily over the years. In 2012 it was 26 percent of all children statewide, according to Census and American Community Survey data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recent studies, like one from the San Francisco-based Center for the Next Generation, highlight the long-term economic threat posed by California’s high rates of childhood poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did the baby poverty numbers get so high? The answer has little to do with babies themselves. While the cost of diapers and infant formula has risen, Kimberlin points to macro-economic factors that have seen more families fall below the poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CBPC’s Kimberlin said California’s rising housing costs have perhaps been the biggest factor in pushing more families out from self sufficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From 2006 to 2016, rents in California rose by about three times as much median annual earnings for a full-time worker,” said Kimberlin. “That just creates a long-term problem where more and more families find themselves squeezed trying to cover their basic costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis hit, the number of California children under two-years-old in poverty climbed steeply, Kimberlin said. “The great recession definitely made things worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737459\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Alex-And-Mom-Mobile-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Sandoval, age four months, begins his day at a child care center with his mom, Norma, playing with one of his favorite toys.

One of the most decisive budget cuts in the years of the recession was to subsidized child care that the state of California provided for low-income families. So add to the stagnating wages and high housing costs the “shrinking availability of affordable childcare,” and Kimberlin said and you have “a perfect storm that really made it difficult for families with children to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet during the years of the recession, many Californians suffered, and the worsening situation for the state’s youngest residents didn’t sound alarm bells. Many children who are now in elementary school were babies and toddlers during the recession. They missed out on quality early education as preschool seats disappeared after 2008, and parents had to figure out babysitting or drop out of the workforce. With less family income the nutrition they received in their critical early development years was likely poorer, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lori Turk of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health (LPFCH) wonders why the moral outrage at the increasing child poverty numbers isn’t more widespread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One in five babies being born into poverty in California is just absolutely unforgivable,” Turk said. During the recession years, one quarter of all babies were born into poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the demographics of the impoverished babies and toddlers has something to do with the lack of attention and action. In California it’s disproportionately babies of color that are born into poverty, something Turk said has nothing to do with the babies themselves. “Really this is about historical discriminatory practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year Kidsdata, a project of LPFCH, releases a report documenting the number of children in poverty. Turk said the high numbers of children of color in poverty comes from the discrimination their parents have suffered over the years. “For housing, for employment, the parents may be treated differently,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been well documented that African-Americans, Latinos and other immigrant groups \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/28/redlining-was-banned-50-years-ago-its-still-hurting-minorities-today/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f359268f5cfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have encountered redlining in housing\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/article/for-people-of-color-banks-are-shutting-the-door-to-homeownership/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">banks not lending to them\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2017/09/16/job-discrimination-against-blacks-and-latinos-has-changed-little-or-none-in-25-years/#8f4a5fc51e3e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outright discrimination in the job market\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turk said if a parent deals with discrimination when they try to rent a home, or in the job market, “there’s a trickle down effect [to] their babies and their children.” Unstable employment and housing “means then their babies are directly impacted by this,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Social Safety Net Helps\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In California, poor families are not completely on their own. Experts estimate that the child poverty numbers would be almost 15 percent higher — around one in three kids — if it wasn’t for the social safety net, a tapestry of local, state and federal programs that give help to impoverished families. From Section 8 housing vouchers, to food stamps, cash aid and subsidized preschool, the welfare benefits in California are robust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is funding for providing healthful food, milk or other dairy products. There’s subsidies for parent to make sure they’re in housing for their children. There are child care subsidies,” Turk said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said these programs are clearly helping families from falling into complete disaster. Norma Sandoval agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom she works, my dad works, my boyfriend’s parents they work, so no one would be able to watch the baby,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She gets MediCal for her baby and food stamps, both state and federally funded programs. Her child care is also free, paid to her high school child care center by the state of California. But she’s one of the lucky ones. \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/1-2-million-california-children-eligible-subsidized-child-care-not-receive-services-state-programs-2015/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to a 2016 report\u003c/a> from the California Budget and Policy Center, six out of seven parents eligible for child care subsidies did not get them, and the waiting list can be more than 1 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if I didn’t have child care I wouldn’t make it,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737401\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg\" alt=\"Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex.\" width=\"800\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-800x668.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-160x134.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1020x852.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror-1200x1003.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Baby-in-Mirror.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Merced County resident Norma Sandoval holds her four-month-old son, Alex. \u003ccite>(Matt Rogers/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the subsidies she gets, Sandoval still can’t buy all the basics for her baby. So she leans on her family, her unofficial safety net. She doesn’t pay rent to her boyfriend’s parents, and her own parents buy her extra food and the baby’s diapers, which add up to a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the safety net that holds parents like Sandoval is working, it’s also a byzantine system to navigate. It’s something that Monika Grasley, president of a nonprofit community organization in Merced called Lifeline CDC, sees parents struggle with every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t understand why we have food stamps that allow us to buy junk food but do not provide diapers, it makes no sense to me,” Grasley said. “So what it encourages parents to do is sell their food stamps so they can purchase diapers for their babies.” And with less resources, parents tend to choose the cheapest food option for their children, which oftentimes have little nutritional value, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasley said there are also many issues that impoverished families deal with for which government help is limited or nonexistent. Many that she works with don’t have transportation. They struggle to find child care, and some don’t even have a cell phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all about how do I survive, not how do I thrive,” Grasley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norma Sandoval herself grew up with very little. But she wants better for her baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Slowly slowly we’re going to learn, slowly we’re going to get that help that we need to get a better life for us and our kids,” Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, on top of everything else she is juggling, Sandoval shows up to Yosemite High School which has a special program for teen moms like her. She’s got big dreams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My plan is to finish high school, go to college and be a nurse,” Sandoval said. She admits before getting pregnant she hated school and used to ditch classes often. Now she wouldn’t do that, “because I have a baby and I want a better life for him and me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This story is part of KQED’s series \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/starting-blocks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starting Blocks\u003c/a>, which is examining the hurdles faced by California’s kids, especially those in low income families.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While that shutdown lasted only a few hours, it came on what should have been one of the busiest shopping days of the year. And the fallout was severe, costing local merchants an estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/29/671996734/temporary-shutdown-of-u-s-mexico-border-had-large-economic-impact-for-businesses\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$5.3 million in lost sales\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I easily, easily lost between $3,500 to $4,500 just that day,” said Louie Saloumi, who runs a churro stand in an outlet mall just north of the border that caters to Mexican shoppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saloumi said if the border were closed for a full week, he’d be out of business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That mall would be a ghost town,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Closing the entire U.S. border with Mexico would also put the brakes on more than $1.6 billion worth of goods that cross back and forth every day, including 50 million pounds of fresh Mexican produce that now fills 100 warehouses in Nogales, Ariz. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One importer warned that the U.S. would run out of avocados in three weeks, but guacamole is the least of it. Fresh tomatoes, peppers, melons and eggplant for the whole country would soon be in short supply. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Probably over half of what most consumers put in their shopping bag when it comes to fresh produce, they would find reduced quantities and higher prices,” said Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has already announced plans to halt truck traffic through Nogales on Sundays, as customs officers who typically staff the border crossing there are reassigned to deal with the influx of Central American migrants.

And if that’s not moving, those people are laid off,” Jungmeyer said. “That means those people are not able to keep the lights on in their own homes and to put groceries in their own refrigerators. So it gets really dicey, really quick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects aren’t limited to the border region. Mexico is a critical supplier for companies throughout the U.S., including the highly integrated auto industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t just trade with each other. We’re making things together,” said Kristin Dziczek, vice president of the Center for Automotive Research in Michigan. “Mexico is a source of 37 percent of all imported auto parts to the U.S. Every vehicle has Mexican parts in it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. assembly plants are especially dependent on Mexico for some critical parts such as wiring harnesses. Without them, those plants would soon grind to a halt. And that in turn would idle domestic parts makers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll see auto production in the U.S. shut down pretty quickly. Some within hours and certainly the whole industry within days,” Dziczek said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fallout from a complete border shutdown would be so fast and so sweeping it’s hard to take the president’s threat seriously, Dziczek said. But White House aides insist it’s a real possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It certainly isn’t a bluff,” White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQesSTYk0KA&feature=youtu.be&t=524\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Sunday\u003c/a>. “You can take the president seriously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies throughout the U.S. routinely make contingency plans for supply disruptions, but it’s impossible to prepare for something like a complete border shutdown. If the worst does happen, Dziczek joked that she does have one consolation: a stockpile of tequila that can last a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/business/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Read more stories from NPR Business.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

While that shutdown lasted only a few hours, it came on what should have been one of the busiest shopping days of the year. And the fallout was severe, costing local merchants an estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/29/671996734/temporary-shutdown-of-u-s-mexico-border-had-large-economic-impact-for-businesses\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$5.3 million in lost sales\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I easily, easily lost between $3,500 to $4,500 just that day,” said Louie Saloumi, who runs a churro stand in an outlet mall just north of the border that caters to Mexican shoppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saloumi said if the border were closed for a full week, he’d be out of business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That mall would be a ghost town,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Closing the entire U.S. border with Mexico would also put the brakes on more than $1.6 billion worth of goods that cross back and forth every day, including 50 million pounds of fresh Mexican produce that now fills 100 warehouses in Nogales, Ariz. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One importer warned that the U.S. would run out of avocados in three weeks, but guacamole is the least of it. Fresh tomatoes, peppers, melons and eggplant for the whole country would soon be in short supply. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Probably over half of what most consumers put in their shopping bag when it comes to fresh produce, they would find reduced quantities and higher prices,” said Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has already announced plans to halt truck traffic through Nogales on Sundays, as customs officers who typically staff the border crossing there are reassigned to deal with the influx of Central American migrants.

So it gets really dicey, really quick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects aren’t limited to the border region. Mexico is a critical supplier for companies throughout the U.S., including the highly integrated auto industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t just trade with each other.
