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.",

With the campus essentially closed, she and other members of the group are struggling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As college students manage the financial and emotional toll of the crisis and adjust to a new way of learning, non-traditional students — those raising kids, those with disabilities, veterans, former foster youth and formerly incarcerated students — have been pushing schools to consider their unique needs, to offer more flexibility in grading and to provide mental health support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11813281\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11813281 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars2-800x596.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars2-800x596.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars2-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars2-1020x760.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars2-1122x837.jpg 1122w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars2.jpg 1123w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniela Medina stand alongside fellow Underground Scholars. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Daniela Medina)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We’re super non-traditional students,” Medina said of the Underground Scholars. Medina herself is a parent, and many others are former foster youth or have disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fellow Underground Scholar Prentiss Mayo is legally blind, and since learning moved online he’s been working overtime to master the assistive technology that allows him to read online materials in addition to the distance learning platforms and his coursework. At the same time, he’s been helping his high school-age daughter adjust to her new school reality. “The first couple of days, oh yeah, it was hell,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ngoc, a UC Berkeley sociology major\"]‘We’re not asking to be equal.

He’d workout, he says, then just lay in bed. Not an ideal place to be when trying to study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re just in fight or flight mode. It cuts off memory, cuts off everything else,” said UC Berkeley sociology major Ngoc, who’s formerly incarcerated, too, and asked to be identified only by his middle name because he’s trying to steer clear of people from his past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ngoc, home confinement dredges up trauma from prison, but it also triggers feelings from a violent and lonely childhood in the foster system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Home has always been a scary place,” he said, explaining that he’s had to learn to be diligent about keeping stress out of his living space. Before, he took pains never to study at home because he said his brain struggles to differentiate between academic pressure and the stressors he experienced as a child.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag=\"resource\" label=\"coronavirus resources\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since transferring from a community college, Ngoc has embraced the rigors of academic life at UC Berkeley and thrived: He’s racked up scholarships and awards, including a public service award from the chancellor.

But he has to do it more since he's at home,” Colson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there is school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has to go to the different teachers that are available online who have loaded assignments, because not everyone does it every day,” Colson said. “He has to check, go to each tab for each teacher and then we'll talk about the assignments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an analyst for the state’s Department of Social Services, Colson is an essential worker who can work from home three days a week, where it’s easier for her to help Saeed. But two days a week, she must head into the office and leave her 13-year-old at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colson is a single parent, and for the past three weeks she has been trying to find the right balance between doing her job and directing her 7th grader's school work. At times her son can be with his father, she said, but mostly he is with her — which means monitoring Saeed's progress remotely while at work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He is emailing me and texting me and letting me know that he's eating, that he's doing his homework,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes Colson must take time to try and explain school assignments over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, basically all the education is totally relying upon me. Unfortunately for me, I don't know all the material that is being presented, so I’m like, ‘OK. Well, share with me. Let me see what you're doing so I can read it and see what they're asking you',\" she said. “It's like I'm learning the material and, at the same time, helping him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colson said she doesn’t know how Saeed will be graded since some of his teachers at Oakland’s Bret Harte Middle School have yet to connect with him. She said she spent one evening exchanging text messages with a teacher because an app Saeed needed for his schoolwork wasn’t working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colson would like Saeed to be able to connect with his teachers directly, because they’re the ones with expertise, and she senses his frustration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He asked me, ‘Well, why am I doing all this ton of work, Mom?’ And I had to explain to him that they still want you to have the same type of work and homework as though he was in a classroom,\" she said. \"And he's like, ‘Well, we're not a classroom, we're at home.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Colson is working at home, she and her son take breaks together to go for a walk or have lunch.

It was a familiar moment — they were struggling with their school assignments and she knew in a moment they’d likely start to bicker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though she was loathe to pull herself away from the deadline she was on for her own work with the Alameda County Social Services, Bims-Payne stood and put on some jazz music and opened up a window to change the tone in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boys peppered her with questions, “Why we can’t go outside? If we're not at school, why do we have to do work?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tried to bring them back to task, stressing the importance of the curriculum. “This is not a summer break,” she reminded them gently. “We still have to learn, because when you get to the fourth grade, when you get to the seventh grade, you're expected to be at a place where you know all of this material.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What occupies her mind in these moments is how she can’t let her sons fall behind in their learning, even if all their teachers are not available to teach them right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's very overwhelming because it's like, OK, so now I have to read your homework, understand your homework, explain it and really teach it to you and still try to focus on my job on how I feed and care for the family, financially,” said Bims-Payne, who is an essential worker for the county and is able to work from home. She said she can’t rely on the boys’ father for help, as he is not in their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has reached out to her sons' teachers. Some have simply handed out multiple assignments all at once, while another teacher has been sending helpful YouTube videos explaining how to get the work done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bims-Payne is concerned that OUSD has yet to let parents know how new pass/fail grading will work, or whether school will restart on campuses early in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://west.edtrust.org/press-release/poll-ca-parents-concerned-about-school-closures-caused-by-covid-19/\">A statewide poll\u003c/a> of California parents in early April by The Education Trust—West shows that many parents are concerned their children will fall behind during school closures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of Latinx and African American parents polled say they do not have the resources, including computers or supplies, to help their child stay on track. The poll also found that many of those parents said they had not been contacted by their children’s teachers or given direction by their school or district as to how instruction would happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, when her sons’ campuses shut down, Bims-Payne had one Chromebook at home, but knew she would need another. It was only by chance that she learned from a neighbor that her school was giving out free Chromebooks — she hadn’t received a notice from the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OUSD has consistently told parents it is working on building out its plans, and the district's chief academic officer said on April 14 that the district is in its \"Try it Out\" phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bims-Payne is not waiting for the district any longer. She came up with a routine to try and balance her work and her sons' needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 7 a.m. each weekday she is set up on her laptop in bed, trying to check in with her supervisor and clear emails before she gets her two boys up around 9 a.m. for breakfast. The three of them combine work with chores and play, trying to end each day with a walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My pastor on International Woman’s Day gave a sermon on our little Facebook group, and she spoke about ‘the woman for the job,’” recalled Bims-Payne. ”I keep replaying that in my head: I'm the woman for the job, even though it's overwhelming, even though I'm tired, even though I'm frustrated with OUSD.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

But two days a week, she must head into the office and leave her 13-year-old at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colson is a single parent, and for the past three weeks she has been trying to find the right balance between doing her job and directing her 7th grader's school work. At times her son can be with his father, she said, but mostly he is with her — which means monitoring Saeed's progress remotely while at work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He is emailing me and texting me and letting me know that he's eating, that he's doing his homework,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes Colson must take time to try and explain school assignments over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, basically all the education is totally relying upon me. Unfortunately for me, I don't know all the material that is being presented, so I’m like, ‘OK. Well, share with me. Let me see what you're doing so I can read it and see what they're asking you',\" she said. “It's like I'm learning the material and, at the same time, helping him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colson said she doesn’t know how Saeed will be graded since some of his teachers at Oakland’s Bret Harte Middle School have yet to connect with him. She said she spent one evening exchanging text messages with a teacher because an app Saeed needed for his schoolwork wasn’t working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colson would like Saeed to be able to connect with his teachers directly, because they’re the ones with expertise, and she senses his frustration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He asked me, ‘Well, why am I doing all this ton of work, Mom?’ And I had to explain to him that they still want you to have the same type of work and homework as though he was in a classroom,\" she said. \"And he's like, ‘Well, we're not a classroom, we're at home.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Colson is working at home, she and her son take breaks together to go for a walk or have lunch. She lets him skateboard in the park and play games with friends online.

It was a familiar moment — they were struggling with their school assignments and she knew in a moment they’d likely start to bicker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though she was loathe to pull herself away from the deadline she was on for her own work with the Alameda County Social Services, Bims-Payne stood and put on some jazz music and opened up a window to change the tone in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boys peppered her with questions, “Why we can’t go outside? If we're not at school, why do we have to do work?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tried to bring them back to task, stressing the importance of the curriculum. “This is not a summer break,” she reminded them gently. “We still have to learn, because when you get to the fourth grade, when you get to the seventh grade, you're expected to be at a place where you know all of this material.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What occupies her mind in these moments is how she can’t let her sons fall behind in their learning, even if all their teachers are not available to teach them right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's very overwhelming because it's like, OK, so now I have to read your homework, understand your homework, explain it and really teach it to you and still try to focus on my job on how I feed and care for the family, financially,” said Bims-Payne, who is an essential worker for the county and is able to work from home. She said she can’t rely on the boys’ father for help, as he is not in their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has reached out to her sons' teachers. Some have simply handed out multiple assignments all at once, while another teacher has been sending helpful YouTube videos explaining how to get the work done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bims-Payne is concerned that OUSD has yet to let parents know how new pass/fail grading will work, or whether school will restart on campuses early in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://west.edtrust.org/press-release/poll-ca-parents-concerned-about-school-closures-caused-by-covid-19/\">A statewide poll\u003c/a> of California parents in early April by The Education Trust—West shows that many parents are concerned their children will fall behind during school closures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of Latinx and African American parents polled say they do not have the resources, including computers or supplies, to help their child stay on track. The poll also found that many of those parents said they had not been contacted by their children’s teachers or given direction by their school or district as to how instruction would happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, when her sons’ campuses shut down, Bims-Payne had one Chromebook at home, but knew she would need another. It was only by chance that she learned from a neighbor that her school was giving out free Chromebooks — she hadn’t received a notice from the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OUSD has consistently told parents it is working on building out its plans, and the district's chief academic officer said on April 14 that the district is in its \"Try it Out\" phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bims-Payne is not waiting for the district any longer. She came up with a routine to try and balance her work and her sons' needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 7 a.m. each weekday she is set up on her laptop in bed, trying to check in with her supervisor and clear emails before she gets her two boys up around 9 a.m. for breakfast.

It was a wildcat strike, meaning not officially endorsed by the students’ union. Teaching assistants argued they weren’t earning enough to afford California’s pricey rents. The university said they should wait until their union contract expired to negotiate — and sent police armed with riot gear to confront them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the coronavirus emptying campuses and rallies impractical due to social distancing, graduate students are figuring out how to take their movement online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of March, strikers launched \u003ca href=\"https://strikeuniversity.org\">Strike University\u003c/a>, a series of online classes for activists covering subjects like “Graphic Design for Social Justice” and “Rethinking the Benevolent University.” The teach-ins aim to promote “free and accessible” public education, along with “critical thinking and skills not bound to the imperatives of the market,” the Strike University website reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizers are also holding epic Zoom calls in which hundreds of strikers across the state discuss strategy and tactics. [aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graduate students had tried to gain leverage with the university by refusing to submit students’ grades, but that became harder during a pandemic, said Yulia Gilich, a cinema & digital media Ph.D. student at UC Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because everything is digital now, we cannot physically withhold blue books and everyone has access,” they said. “If the faculty wants to do the extra labor, they can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least 80 graduate students at UC San Diego who were withholding winter quarter grades recently voted to submit them, saying they didn’t want to cause undergraduates additional stress during a pandemic — though other campuses remain on strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union that represents more than 19,000 UC graduate student workers, United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 2865, reached agreement on two points with the university in March: Eighty-two graduate students fired from UC Santa Cruz in February for participating in the strike will have their health coverage reinstated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the fired students were told in their dismissal letter that they would not be considered for a spring appointment, UC Santa Cruz allowed them to apply if they submitted last quarter’s grades and agreed not to strike again unless the union authorizes it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the context of a global pandemic and mass joblessness, we felt it was crucial to do everything we could to preserve these jobs,” Kavitha Iyengar, the union’s president, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strikers, however, said that the agreement didn’t go far enough, as it didn’t ensure compensation for those who could no longer find spring appointments. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other things have changed, too. UC Santa Cruz had been spending heavily to police the picket line, where 17 students were arrested in February. Not anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilich and a dozen other UC Santa Cruz graduate students started their campaign nearly a year ago, after failed efforts to pass a rent control measure in the city of Santa Cruz and set up a safe overnight parking program for students living in their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was just a feeling of defeat with every campaign that we ended up working on that failed,” Gilich said. “Our situations continue to get more and more dire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC graduate students make $22,000 a year before taxes, on average, according to the university; the \u003ca href=\"https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=median%20rent%20santa%20cruz,%20california&hidePreview=false&tid=ACSDT1Y2018.B25064&vintage=2018&layer=county&cid=DP04_0001E&g=0500000US06065&y=2018\">average monthly rent\u003c/a> in Santa Cruz County is $1,685.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since coming to UC Santa Cruz from Russia four years ago, Gilich says they have consistently spent more than half of their paycheck on rent each month, though they live with multiple housemates. Because Gilich is in the United States on an international student visa, they can’t legally pick up additional jobs beyond their teaching appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like research,” Gilich said. “UCSC was my first choice for my Ph.D. I like teaching. I really enjoy the work that I do. But I can’t live here and do it on the salary I’m being paid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11812659\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11812659\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42792_COLA-STRIKE-photo-2-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1284\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42792_COLA-STRIKE-photo-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42792_COLA-STRIKE-photo-2-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42792_COLA-STRIKE-photo-2-qut-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42792_COLA-STRIKE-photo-2-qut-1020x682.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster supporting graduate student workers seeking higher wages is seen from a window near UC Berkeley campus on March 15, 2020. \u003ccite>(Anne Wernikoff/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the COLA campaign began refusing to submit grades in December, \u003ca href=\"https://payusmoreucsc.com/grade-request-flowchart/\">except in certain cases\u003c/a>, then stopped teaching and research in February. The strike was unsanctioned by their union because it came in the middle of a contract with a no-strike clause. But strikers’ demand for a $1,412 per month pay increase to cover the rising cost of living resonated with other UC graduate students. Some teaching assistants at UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine are now also on full strike, withholding all labor. Others at UC Davis and UC Berkeley are withholding grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The COLA movement harnessed graduate students’ structural power, said Veena Dubal, an associate professor of law at UC Hastings with expertise in labor law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Graduate students carry much of the teaching load across the campuses, and yet, their work to this end is often seen as peripheral to their role as academic apprentices,” Dubal said in an email. “The labor is central — not just to them but also to the universities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UAW 2865 has also taken up the cause, filing two unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board after the graduate student firings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has declined to bargain with the union over a cost of living adjustment, though UC Santa Cruz now offers graduate students a $2,500 need-based housing grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Striking while a collective bargaining agreement is in place undermines the collective bargaining process and erodes the ability of UC and its unions to enter into good-faith labor agreements,” the university said \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/graduate-student-protests\">in an online statement\u003c/a>. “This strike also hurts our undergraduates by disrupting their educational activities and preventing them from advancing to the next course level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before the coronavirus pandemic, graduate student life was stressful. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/survey-documents-graduate/graduate_well_being_survey_report.pdf\">UC Graduate Well-Being Survey\u003c/a> from 2017 found that over one-third of respondents reported symptoms indicating clinical depression. Two-thirds said they worried about money, with those who were confident about their finances more likely to be on track to complete their programs. [aside tag=\"graduate-student-strike\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic has exacerbated that stress, as campuses finish the academic year remotely and living conditions become working conditions. Graduate students say they are taking on additional work to help professors move classes online, while their educational and research experience has been upended by campus closures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Merced, teaching assistants have been helping science and math professors convert their courses into “flipped” classes, in which prerecorded lectures are given to students as homework and lecture time is used for students to split up into small groups facilitated by TAs, said Anh Diep, a graduate student and union representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re becoming curriculum developers on top of being teaching assistants,” Diep said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diep added that those who left campus to live with their families now help run households, especially first-generation college students and those from immigrant backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those students are caretakers — they’re helpers with siblings’ homework, elderly parents, relatives’ children, and they now have to do their homework and job while helping out the family,” they said. “I’ve seen [for those students] that the moment you come home, you become the point person to disseminate information to your family. You carry the mental burden of keeping up with the news, especially in this global pandemic, and needing to understand it and explain it to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COLA organizers are trying to build bridges with undergraduates also affected by the pandemic. Some undergraduates have attended past COLA rallies, but others have expressed concerns about the movement affecting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSC/comments/faoh6o/the_cola_campaigns_response_to_the_cse102_midterm/fizkbp0/\">undergraduate allies\u003c/a> of the UC Santa Cruz COLA organizers \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSC/comments/faoh6o/the_cola_campaigns_response_to_the_cse102_midterm/fizkbp0/\">disrupted\u003c/a> a computer science midterm in late February, it \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSC/comments/faj0nd/disrupting_a_midterm_is_absolutely_crossing_the/\">drew the ire\u003c/a> of several students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just appears to me that you’re having a [expletive] party complete with a live band every day on the lawn at the base of campus whilst I’m beating my brain against the wall through sleepless night after sleepless night to get a [expletive] undergrad degree at age 40, which feels humiliating enough when all my classmates are 20 years younger than me,” one commenter \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSC/comments/faj0nd/disrupting_a_midterm_is_absolutely_crossing_the/fizm44r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf\">wrote on Reddit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A subreddit dedicated to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/ucscstac/\">UC Santa Cruz students against COLA\u003c/a> is filled with stories detailing students’ frustration with the protests’ effect on classes and research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To strengthen ties with undergraduates, some graduate students at UC Irvine decided to hold a “social welfare” strike: Instead of teaching or grading, they’re compiling \u003ca href=\"https://uci4cola.com/?page_id=28\">resource lists\u003c/a> for students who need help with food, housing, child care or immigration cases. And they’re setting up mutual aid networks to \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRM2CrWuhqDRrmqPxjkDbjo6ukeKuG_JIwpMLWffYU9eSLFw/viewform\">connect\u003c/a> those who need support to those who can provide it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The COLA campaign is […] a matter of public health, as people living in cramped or inadequate housing conditions due to low wages and high rent costs do not have the privilege of implementing ‘social distancing,’ ” reads a press release from the UC Irvine strikers. “Many students are living paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford rent, medicine or even food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the movement has become less visible in the wake of the pandemic, UAW plans to hold a vote this month on whether to authorize an official statewide strike linked to the unfair labor practice charges. (Two-thirds of members would have to sign off.) Union officials say they’ll ask UC to bargain over a cost of living adjustment that varies by campus depending on rents in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether or not they succeed, Gilich said the COLA movement has already drawn attention to structural barriers to higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are not independently wealthy or willing to go into debt to go to grad school, you cannot survive here,” Gilich said. “A fight for COLA is a fight for the future of higher education and who will have access to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Janelle Salanga is a fellow with CalMatters’ \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/corona-on-campus/\">College Journalism Network\u003c/a>, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists across California.

The strike was unsanctioned by their union because it came in the middle of a contract with a no-strike clause. But strikers’ demand for a $1,412 per month pay increase to cover the rising cost of living resonated with other UC graduate students.

Graduate students say they are taking on additional work to help professors move classes online, while their educational and research experience has been upended by campus closures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Merced, teaching assistants have been helping science and math professors convert their courses into “flipped” classes, in which prerecorded lectures are given to students as homework and lecture time is used for students to split up into small groups facilitated by TAs, said Anh Diep, a graduate student and union representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re becoming curriculum developers on top of being teaching assistants,” Diep said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diep added that those who left campus to live with their families now help run households, especially first-generation college students and those from immigrant backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those students are caretakers — they’re helpers with siblings’ homework, elderly parents, relatives’ children, and they now have to do their homework and job while helping out the family,” they said. “I’ve seen [for those students] that the moment you come home, you become the point person to disseminate information to your family. You carry the mental burden of keeping up with the news, especially in this global pandemic, and needing to understand it and explain it to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COLA organizers are trying to build bridges with undergraduates also affected by the pandemic.

Union officials say they’ll ask UC to bargain over a cost of living adjustment that varies by campus depending on rents in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether or not they succeed, Gilich said the COLA movement has already drawn attention to structural barriers to higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are not independently wealthy or willing to go into debt to go to grad school, you cannot survive here,” Gilich said. “A fight for COLA is a fight for the future of higher education and who will have access to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Janelle Salanga is a fellow with CalMatters’ \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/corona-on-campus/\">College Journalism Network\u003c/a>, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists across California.

Ella y otros seis directores, cuyos salarios más altos podrían dejarlos fuera de la asistencia monetaria federal del coronavirus, también planean donar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iverson-Comelo estima que aproximadamente dos tercios de las familias de su escuela, que atiende principalmente a estudiantes de bajos ingresos desde preescolar hasta quinto grado, se encuentran sin recibir ingreso alguno.

No sé qué sucederá el próximo mes y cuánto tiempo seguirá esto,” dijo María, una ama de casa que, junto con su esposo, han vivido en los Estados Unidos durante más de 11 años. Dos de sus hijas, de 5 y 10 años, son ciudadanas estadounidenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>María dijo que se encontraba triste porque el gobierno federal excluyó a millones de inmigrantes indocumentados del paquete de estímulo, aun cuando pagan impuestos, como lo hace su esposo a través de su número de identificación de contribuyente individual (conocido en sus siglas en Inglés como ITIN) . El número permite al Servicio de Impuestos Internos recaudar miles de millones de dólares en contribuciones anuales de inmigrantes que no cuentan con un número de seguro social.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero al enterarse de la campaña de Compromiso de estímulo, María dijo que se sentía alentada y esperanzada de que el esfuerzo de los maestros de estas escuelas locales pudiera marcar una gran diferencia en la comunidad indocumentada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Estoy agradecida de que estén luchando y cuidándonos, porque todos somos seres humanos,” dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cientos de educadores en San Francisco también están prometiendo donar sus cheques del estímulo a los inmigrantes indocumentados.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El esfuerzo de los educadores del Área de la Bahía se da a cabo cuando el gobernador Gavin Newsom dijo que él y los legisladores estatales están considerando una ayuda económica de emergencia para los inmigrantes que no cuentan con un estado legal, y los cuales han sido fuertemente afectados por la pandemia y la desaceleración económica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cassandra Chen, maestra de matemáticas y ciencias de la escuela intermedia de la Academia United for Success en Oakland, dijo que se vio obligada a prometer su chequeo de estímulo después de las llamadas diarias con los estudiantes y sus familias una vez que se cancelaron las clases en persona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='elcoronavirus' label='Más Información Sobre el Coronavirus']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rápidamente se dio cuenta de que la mayoría se encuentran en una situación muy difícil para tener suficiente dinero para comprar alimentos o pagar el alquiler, y muchas de estas familias no pueden recibir ninguna ayuda federal a la cual otros residentes tienen acceso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Desearía que un paquete de estímulo en la nación más rica del mundo [hubiera] cuidado de todos los seres humanos en esta pandemia global. Pero no incluye a mucha de nuestra comunidad,” dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bajo el paquete de estímulo de $2.2 billones firmado por el presidente Donald Trump el mes pasado, los contribuyentes solteros que ganen $ 75,000 o menos recibirán automáticamente un pago de hasta $1,200. Las parejas casadas que presentan una declaración conjunta son elegibles para recibir cheques de hasta $2,400, con un monto de $500 adicional por cada hijo menor de 17 años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aunque Chen dijo que el salario de maestra “no es sorprendente en ningún sentido de la palabra”, se siente económicamente estable en comparación con muchas de las familias de sus alumnos porque le siguen pagando por trabajar desde su casa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Claro que podría usar $1,200, pero no lo necesito. Y muchas familias en nuestra comunidad se encuentran desesperadas,” dijo Chen, quien invita a otros que puedan donar parte del dinero que recibirán a que lo hagan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La campaña Stimulus Pledge se está asociando con el Fondo de Educación Pública de Oakland, una organización sin fines de lucro, para obtener y distribuir los fondos prometidos por los participantes, dijo el director Iverson-Comelo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otras escuelas de Oakland que participan en la campaña son Emerson Elementary, Esperanza Elementary, International Community School, Manzanita SEED y Melrose Leadership Academy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los funcionarios del Distrito Unificado de Oakland dijeron que la iniciativa es un ejemplo de la dedicación que los maestros, directores y otro personal tienen para los estudiantes que lo necesitan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Apoyamos este trabajo increíble y compasivo que están haciendo,” dijo John Sasaki, portavoz del distrito. “Como siempre lo hace la comunidad de Oakland, nos estamos uniendo a nuestras familias para apoyarlas en todo lo que podamos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El distrito también ha establecido el Fondo de Ayuda Rápida COVID-19 para apoyar a estudiantes y familias vulnerables.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo ha sido traducido por la periodista, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/azucenarasilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Azucena Rasilla\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[hearken id=\"5490\" src=\"https://modules.wearehearken.com/kqed/embed/5490.js\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Dos de sus hijas, de 5 y 10 años, son ciudadanas estadounidenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>María dijo que se encontraba triste porque el gobierno federal excluyó a millones de inmigrantes indocumentados del paquete de estímulo, aun cuando pagan impuestos, como lo hace su esposo a través de su número de identificación de contribuyente individual (conocido en sus siglas en Inglés como ITIN) . El número permite al Servicio de Impuestos Internos recaudar miles de millones de dólares en contribuciones anuales de inmigrantes que no cuentan con un número de seguro social.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero al enterarse de la campaña de Compromiso de estímulo, María dijo que se sentía alentada y esperanzada de que el esfuerzo de los maestros de estas escuelas locales pudiera marcar una gran diferencia en la comunidad indocumentada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Estoy agradecida de que estén luchando y cuidándonos, porque todos somos seres humanos,” dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cientos de educadores en San Francisco también están prometiendo donar sus cheques del estímulo a los inmigrantes indocumentados.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El esfuerzo de los educadores del Área de la Bahía se da a cabo cuando el gobernador Gavin Newsom dijo que él y los legisladores estatales están considerando una ayuda económica de emergencia para los inmigrantes que no cuentan con un estado legal, y los cuales han sido fuertemente afectados por la pandemia y la desaceleración económica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cassandra Chen, maestra de matemáticas y ciencias de la escuela intermedia de la Academia United for Success en Oakland, dijo que se vio obligada a prometer su chequeo de estímulo después de las llamadas diarias con los estudiantes y sus familias una vez que se cancelaron las clases en persona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
