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.",

"content": "\u003cp>It’s 5 a.m., and the thermostat reads 44 degrees F. Cars round the bend of an off-ramp of state Route 24 in northern Oakland, spraying bands of light across Norm Ciha and his neighbors. They wear headlamps so they can see in the dark as they gather their belongings: tents, clothes, cooking gear, carts piled with blankets, children’s shoes and, in one case, a set of golf clubs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shredder, Ciha’s dog, takes a treat, then lets it fall from his mouth. He whines as Ciha walks away with a camping mattress. “I can leave him all day in the tent and he’s fine, but he freaks out every time we have to move,” Ciha says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every other week, the residents of this thin slice of state-owned land just off the freeway pack up their possessions and move to another empty lot nearby; they aren’t quite sure who owns it. They move in anticipation of the routine sweeps of homeless encampments ordered by the California Department of Transportation, which has jurisdiction over the state’s highways and exit ramps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway crews check that the area is clear of people and their belongings, throwing away any items that remain. Once the trucks leave, the residents move back in. Ciha and his neighbors call it “the Caltrans Shuffle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Eric Tars, legal director of the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty\"]‘If cities spent half the energy on trying to provide access to sanitation as they did on trying to find constitutional ways to take people’s belongings, they could address homelessness.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their makeshift neighborhood of tarps and tents is built on one of thousands of public spaces across California where people have set up camp. The state’s homeless population has ballooned in recent years; in 2019, there were more than 150,000 homeless people in California, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and 72% of them did not have shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A range of health concerns has spread among homeless communities. A few years ago, hepatitis A, spread primarily through feces, infected more than 700 people in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/Immunization/2016-18CAOutbreakAssociatedDrugUseHomelessness.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most of them homeless,\u003c/a> according to state officials.

Homeless people are\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/the-homeless-are-dying-in-record-numbers-on-the-streets-of-l-a/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dying in record numbers\u003c/a> on the streets of Los Angeles, according to data from the county coroner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities up and down California, increasingly frustrated with the growing number of homeless people living on public property, have tasked police and sanitation workers with dismantling encampments that they say pollute public areas and pose serious risk of fire, violence and disease. The rousting and cleanups have become a daily occurrence around the state, involving an array of state and local agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the response from officials has prompted a public health crisis all its own, according to interviews with dozens of homeless people and their advocates. Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away.

It’s a nasty job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sweeps also cause psychological pain. Ciha and his neighbors talk about how horrible it is when people driving by throw garbage at them. Herring says the trauma of living on the streets is so intense he hasn’t yet figured out how to write about it in his academic work. “[The city will] say we’re just asking people to move, but if you’re being asked that over and over and you have nowhere to go, and people are acting like you’re worthless or they’re scared of you, that affects you fast,” Herring says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ciha got tested for hep C after a friend went from healthy to sick in a matter of months.

That’s in addition to an executive order Newsom signed Wednesday, allowing state land to be made available for emergency homeless shelters.Since taking office last year, the governor has also championed cutting health care costs and prescription drug prices.This year’s budget includes a proposal to create California’s own line of generic drugs by negotiating directly with drug makers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, politics and government correspondent, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>U.S.-Iran Conflict Takes a Toll on Iranian Americans\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern California is home to hundreds of thousands of people of Iranian descent, the largest concentration in the U.S. and outside of Iran.

Sometimes she stayed with friends. On the worst nights, she slept in a friend’s car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was hard for Morales, but harder for her two small children, who had to adapt with each move, only to be uprooted again soon after. Her son, who is now 4, angered easily. He didn’t want to play with his 2-year-old sister and he refused to eat most of the food at the shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Tina Fleeton, a counselor with the BANANAS child care referral agency\"]‘It was so special to me because I just saw how the child completely found something he was motivated in doing,”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all changed when he started attending Head Start, a federally subsidized preschool program for low-income children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When he started going to school, he was more energetic. He relaxed; he was more patient with his sister and he started eating a little better. He would come home happy, singing and skipping,” Morales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morales found the preschool for her son and home-based child care for her daughter with the assistance of a San Francisco County program that helps homeless families in finding and enrolling in subsidized child care. San Francisco and Alameda are two California counties that have set up comprehensive programs in recent years specifically for homeless families. The programs support families throughout the entire process, from filling out paperwork to getting required immunizations and visiting different programs to decide what is the best fit for their child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other counties have programs to help all low-income families apply for child care, but most do not have services tailored to help homeless families navigate the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preschool and child care can be crucial services for homeless children as they provide stability and a good foundation for learning. When a child experiences homelessness as an infant or toddler, it can cause delays in early development and make them more likely to struggle when they reach elementary school, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.air.org/sites/default/files/downloads/report/Americas-Youngest-Outcasts-Child-Homelessness-Nov2014.pdf\">report by the National Center on Family Homelessness.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 240,000 California \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/disadv/homeless/early-childhood-homelessness-state-profiles.pdf\">children under age 6\u003c/a>, about 8% of that age group statewide, experienced homelessness in 2015-16, according to the most recent estimate by the U.S. Department of Education. The department defines children as homeless if they live in a temporary shelter or place not designed to be lived in, like a car or a tent, or if their families are sharing housing with other families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most homeless families are eligible for federal or state-subsidized child care programs and in some cities there are nonprofit child care centers designed to serve homeless children, but families are often unaware of them. Even when they are aware, they may have trouble getting through all the paperwork or attending all the appointments they might need in order to enroll their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If families are not able to enroll in federal or state-subsidized programs because there is no room, San Francisco has a program that pays for child care for low-income families; homeless families are prioritized. Alameda County also has a voucher program just for homeless families who cannot find other child care subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the goals of programs like those in San Francisco and Alameda counties is to help homeless parents like Morales get jobs and housing. Without child care, they often have to take their children along with them to turn in applications for apartments and jobs and attend appointments with case managers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would have to get the children up really early and take them with me, from one appointment to another, and sometimes not even eat in between back-to-back appointments,” Morales said. “The kids would get tired of just sitting in one place, and after awhile, they would start saying, ‘I want to go, I want to play, I’m hungry.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"student-homelessness\"]San Francisco has had a program to help homeless families find child care for more than a decade. It is run through the nonprofit Compass Family Services, which also operates one of several centers in the city where homeless people can go to look for shelter or other services. Last year, the organization helped place 315 children in child care. Case managers help homeless families fill out the city’s online application, which automatically matches families with subsidized child care programs in neighborhoods that are convenient for them. Compass also holds child care workshops once a week to explain different options for child care in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent afternoon, case manager Marisol Zepeda helped a mother fill out her online application as her 1-year-old boy played with toys. The mother explained that she, her husband, her two children and her mother were all sharing one bedroom in an apartment with nine other people. Zepeda helped her choose which kind of child care she wanted and which neighborhoods she would be open to and then explained to her that she would get a notification on her cell phone whenever an opening comes up. Parents can choose to accept a spot and call the provider to make arrangements, or they can choose to reject a spot if it does not fit their needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After filling out the application, Zepeda follows up regularly with families until they find care, helping them communicate with child care providers, if needed, and even accompanying parents like Morales as they visit child care centers or family child care homes to help them decide if it is a good fit for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11792561\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11792561\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Preschool graduates at Compass Children’s Center in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Compass Family Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Reaching and following up with homeless families can be difficult. San Francisco has tried to meet that challenge by reducing the amount of paperwork parents have to sign, meeting them at shelters or wherever is best for them and offering on-site child care during appointments.

He relaxed; he was more patient with his sister and he started eating a little better. He would come home happy, singing and skipping,” Morales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morales found the preschool for her son and home-based child care for her daughter with the assistance of a San Francisco County program that helps homeless families in finding and enrolling in subsidized child care. San Francisco and Alameda are two California counties that have set up comprehensive programs in recent years specifically for homeless families. The programs support families throughout the entire process, from filling out paperwork to getting required immunizations and visiting different programs to decide what is the best fit for their child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other counties have programs to help all low-income families apply for child care, but most do not have services tailored to help homeless families navigate the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preschool and child care can be crucial services for homeless children as they provide stability and a good foundation for learning. When a child experiences homelessness as an infant or toddler, it can cause delays in early development and make them more likely to struggle when they reach elementary school, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.air.org/sites/default/files/downloads/report/Americas-Youngest-Outcasts-Child-Homelessness-Nov2014.pdf\">report by the National Center on Family Homelessness.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 240,000 California \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/disadv/homeless/early-childhood-homelessness-state-profiles.pdf\">children under age 6\u003c/a>, about 8% of that age group statewide, experienced homelessness in 2015-16, according to the most recent estimate by the U.S. Department of Education. The department defines children as homeless if they live in a temporary shelter or place not designed to be lived in, like a car or a tent, or if their families are sharing housing with other families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most homeless families are eligible for federal or state-subsidized child care programs and in some cities there are nonprofit child care centers designed to serve homeless children, but families are often unaware of them. Even when they are aware, they may have trouble getting through all the paperwork or attending all the appointments they might need in order to enroll their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If families are not able to enroll in federal or state-subsidized programs because there is no room, San Francisco has a program that pays for child care for low-income families; homeless families are prioritized. Alameda County also has a voucher program just for homeless families who cannot find other child care subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the goals of programs like those in San Francisco and Alameda counties is to help homeless parents like Morales get jobs and housing. Without child care, they often have to take their children along with them to turn in applications for apartments and jobs and attend appointments with case managers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would have to get the children up really early and take them with me, from one appointment to another, and sometimes not even eat in between back-to-back appointments,” Morales said. “The kids would get tired of just sitting in one place, and after awhile, they would start saying, ‘I want to go, I want to play, I’m hungry.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is run through the nonprofit Compass Family Services, which also operates one of several centers in the city where homeless people can go to look for shelter or other services. Last year, the organization helped place 315 children in child care. Case managers help homeless families fill out the city’s online application, which automatically matches families with subsidized child care programs in neighborhoods that are convenient for them. Compass also holds child care workshops once a week to explain different options for child care in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent afternoon, case manager Marisol Zepeda helped a mother fill out her online application as her 1-year-old boy played with toys. The mother explained that she, her husband, her two children and her mother were all sharing one bedroom in an apartment with nine other people. Zepeda helped her choose which kind of child care she wanted and which neighborhoods she would be open to and then explained to her that she would get a notification on her cell phone whenever an opening comes up. Parents can choose to accept a spot and call the provider to make arrangements, or they can choose to reject a spot if it does not fit their needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After filling out the application, Zepeda follows up regularly with families until they find care, helping them communicate with child care providers, if needed, and even accompanying parents like Morales as they visit child care centers or family child care homes to help them decide if it is a good fit for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11792561\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11792561\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/Stavely2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Preschool graduates at Compass Children’s Center in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Compass Family Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Reaching and following up with homeless families can be difficult.

So on this Saturday, the group turns to talking about a campus lockdown that happened a day earlier when a student made a violent threat. Bristol asks the teachers how they’re feeling about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our kids don't know how to react to that trauma because they're kids,” Godinez says. “It's like we have to model that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what really frustrates him is how parents can thwart those efforts. “Sometimes you call a parent because the child's been in a fight, and the parent’s coming down here to get into a fight with someone, you know, and escalate it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're here for the kids,” Godinez adds. “But it's like the whole community needs the help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘He Needs Help Just Like We Do’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the teachers talk, Principal Watson listens intently. “I've literally woken up in the middle of the night thinking about kids here at school, like are they OK?,” he says. “We’re talking about self care — I don't know how to care for myself when I'm waking up thinking about someone else's children, right? I don’t know how to deal with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a place where even the principal doesn’t have to have things figured out. Dominguez High special education teacher Damon Stokes says seeing Watson show such vulnerability helps humanizes him. “I was like, ‘wow.’ I thought he had it all together. He needs help just like we do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experience, Stokes says, has changed how he relates to Watson. “Before I just thought he was this hard principal,” he says, noting that he used to take it personally when Watson seemed upset. “Now, when I look in his face I can see he’s in distress, or something’s bothering him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"education\"]The intimacy of this space isn’t the only thing that’s changed the relationship between school leaders and staff. This is a place where Watson formally seeks teachers’ advice to inform his decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each month, Watson presents an issue he’s dealing with. “The core problem here is that the admin team is overwhelmed,” he tells the group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explains how he’s struggling with a group of veteran teachers he feels aren’t doing enough to enforce discipline in their classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Teachers are kicking kids out of class without proper intervention and students just show up in the main office, students are wandering the halls,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teachers take turns asking questions, making suggestions and offering feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godinez, who has been at Dominguez High for 19 years, has some thoughts on why these teachers may be uncooperative. “I can't even count how many principals we’ve gone through,” he says. “We’ve had a revolving door.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nHe says every time a new leader comes in, it feels like history gets erased; teachers’ past experiences don’t matter and the sole focus is on what comes next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of those veteran teachers at that point feel disenfranchised, like ‘You don't want to hear about the stuff that we've had to endure. But you want me to buy into your vision?’ ” he says. “They're like, ‘We'll just wait for him to go, and we'll get another one. Maybe that guy will listen to us.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Teachers Leading\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godinez says that these meetings have changed the power dynamic on campus. Watson has given teachers more space to shape decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In turn, Godinez and other teachers have stepped into leadership roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program provides teachers and administrators with a $2,000 stipend for the hours they dedicate to the work. In its second year, it has expanded beyond Dominguez High to include a few teachers from other district schools. Watson hopes to expand it districtwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Godinez supports the idea. “For me, this is the first time that I've felt like we're getting down to the actual issues that are plaguing this school and we're finally getting down to real solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those conversations are particularly meaningful for newbie teachers like Angel Gonzalez, the ones most at risk of leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a man, I feel that I'm welcome,” he says. “I feel that I'm needed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The California Dream series is a statewide media collaboration of CalMatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11768052\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/CADreamBanner-1-800x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/CADreamBanner-1-800x219.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/CADreamBanner-1-800x219-160x44.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

So on this Saturday, the group turns to talking about a campus lockdown that happened a day earlier when a student made a violent threat. Bristol asks the teachers how they’re feeling about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our kids don't know how to react to that trauma because they're kids,” Godinez says. “It's like we have to model that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what really frustrates him is how parents can thwart those efforts. “Sometimes you call a parent because the child's been in a fight, and the parent’s coming down here to get into a fight with someone, you know, and escalate it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're here for the kids,” Godinez adds. “But it's like the whole community needs the help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘He Needs Help Just Like We Do’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the teachers talk, Principal Watson listens intently. “I've literally woken up in the middle of the night thinking about kids here at school, like are they OK?,” he says. “We’re talking about self care — I don't know how to care for myself when I'm waking up thinking about someone else's children, right? I don’t know how to deal with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a place where even the principal doesn’t have to have things figured out. Dominguez High special education teacher Damon Stokes says seeing Watson show such vulnerability helps humanizes him. “I was like, ‘wow.’ I thought he had it all together. He needs help just like we do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experience, Stokes says, has changed how he relates to Watson. “Before I just thought he was this hard principal,” he says, noting that he used to take it personally when Watson seemed upset. “Now, when I look in his face I can see he’s in distress, or something’s bothering him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
