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>Elected officials, union leaders, industry representatives and environmentalists are expressing concern about the hundreds of workers set to lose their jobs at California’s fourth-largest refinery in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s after Marathon Petroleum announced over the weekend that it plans a permanent halt to processing crude oil at its Martinez plant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The decommissioning of the Marathon refinery means the loss of thousands of good paying, California blue collar jobs at a time of great economic uncertainty,” said Robbie Hunter, president of the State Building and Construction Trades Council of California, which represents thousands of people who work at the plant in the course of a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marathon executives told employees at its Contra Costa County and Gallup, New Mexico, refineries on Friday that it plans to cut workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will indefinitely idle these facilities with no plans to restart normal operations,” the company said on its \u003ca href=\"https://www.marathonpetroleum.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company had idled both refineries in April after shelter-at-home orders drastically cut demand for gasoline and jet fuel. That meant processing units at the plants stopped making transportation fuels and other refined products. For months the refineries have been maintained in “standby” mode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Friday announcement means “most jobs at these refineries will no longer be necessary, and we expect to begin a phased reduction of staffing levels in October” the company said on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marathon employs 740 staff workers at its Martinez refinery, which has gone through \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/hazmat/facilities/tesoro.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several owners and name changes\u003c/a>. It was formerly known as the Tesoro, Golden Eagle, Tosco Avon and Phillips Avon refinery. Marathon bought the facility in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the full-time employees, the refinery relies on between 250 and 2,500 contract workers depending on operational needs, according to Marathon representative Patricia Deutsche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is also the ‘multiplier’ effect. They say for every one refinery job there are eight in the community that support that,” Deutsche said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This move is a big loss for our workforce and potentially the economy,” said Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, who represents Martinez and has been a longtime advocate for refinery safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeSaulnier said that before the coronavirus pandemic and the oil industry downturn, he began bringing together labor unions, environmental groups and local governments to prepare for a shift to green energy in Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The transition needs to be as successful as possible for everyone and we cannot leave workers behind — they need to be guaranteed meaningful and comparable work,” DeSaulnier said in an emailed statement Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for a leading trade group that represents the oil industry in California said he feels for the local economy that relies on the refinery, \u003ca href=\"https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/californias-petroleum-market/californias-oil-refineries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which can process about 160,000 barrels of crude per day\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously, this impacts a lot of people, families and the community and we are concerned for them,” said Kevin Slagle, a representative for the Western States Petroleum Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery has seen its share of incidents. The worst in the last decade took place in February 2014, when the facility was run by Tesoro. Two workers were burned and 84,000 pounds of sulfuric acid were released. A month later sulfuric acid sprayed and burned two contract workers, leading to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.csb.gov/csb-releases-final-report-on-facility-safety-culture-following-a-series-of-sulfuric-acid-releases-at-the-tesoro-martinez-refinery-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">investigation\u003c/a> by the U.S Chemical Safety Board that raised concerns about the refinery’s safety culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the Bay Area’s other four refineries — Valero in Benicia, Chevron in Richmond, PBF Energy in Martinez and Phillips 66 in Rodeo — the facility has had to send gases to its \u003ca href=\"https://www.baaqmd.gov/~/media/files/compliance-and-enforcement/flares/graphs/flare-emissions-charts/2019/frequency_of_flaring_2019-pdf.pdf?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flares\u003c/a> scores of times over the years, many times to deal with malfunctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local environmentalists who’ve been critical of the region’s oil industry say it’s time for the refinery, its dangers and pollution to go away, but the change should include a plan for workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what an unplanned transition looks like,” said Greg Karras with Community Energy reSource.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s “the tip of the iceberg for why we need a planned, just transition to sustainable energy and a livable climate,” Karras said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some environmentalists and union advocates have used the term “just transition” to explain a fair way of getting fossil fuel industry workers and their surrounding communities, businesses and local governments to move into a green energy economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollin Kretzmann, an Oakland attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, said the air quality benefits of a refinery shutting down are welcome but expressed concern about workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Communities near this dangerous refinery can breathe a little easier now that operations have halted, but the state desperately needs a just transition plan that protects workers when oil companies toss their employees to the curb with little warning,” Kretzmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marathon says its Martinez refinery will be converted to an oil storage facility. The company says it’s considering turning the facility into a renewable diesel facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Marathon refinery’s (potential) conversion into a renewable diesel facility is a forecast of the future as the demand for fossil fuels declines over time, resulting in healthier air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions,” said Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will see more future refinery closures as a result of continued decreasing consumption of fossil fuels under California’s policies transitioning our transportation system to zero emission,” said Gioia, who sits on the the Bay Area Air Quality Management District board and the California Air Resources Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to immediately start addressing a just transition for these workers as more fossil fuel facilities close,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marathon’s decision to end oil processing at its Martinez plant is the latest piece of evidence showing California’s oil industry suffering under a pandemic that’s led to severe drops in fuel demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Ramon-based Chevron, one of the world’s largest oil companies, announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.chevron.com/investors/press-releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">its worst quarter\u003c/a> in decades on Friday. The company said it lost more than $8 billion during the three months ending June 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the oil majors have been clobbered by COVID,” said David Hackett, president of Stillwater Associates, a firm that specializes in analyzing the transportation fuels market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the California Resources Corporation, one of the state’s largest oil producers,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11829255/major-california-oil-producer-falls-victim-to-collapse-in-crude-prices-amid-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> filed for bankruptcy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the Newsom administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11818575/newsom-kills-proposal-to-add-oil-regulators-even-though-industry-would-have-paid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">granted a request\u003c/a> by another oil trade group, the California Independent Petroleum Association, to drop a proposal to add dozens of staff members to the agency that oversees oil and gas drilling that would have cost the industry $24 million. State regulators also agreed to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11817384/with-oil-industry-in-slump-state-offers-a-break-on-some-well-regulations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">postpone a deadline for oil and gas producers\u003c/a> to pay fees and submit plans to manage thousands of idle oil wells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, PBF Energy, the New Jersey-based company that bought Shell’s refinery in Martinez, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11810439/coronavirus-prompts-martinez-refinery-to-cut-back-sell-hydrogen-plants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sold two hydrogen plants\u003c/a> at the facility for hundreds of millions of dollars — a move aimed at cutting costs and raising revenue to deal with fuel demand drops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same month, more than 1,000 contract electricians, pipefitters and other skilled \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11813844/unions-say-bay-area-refineries-have-dismissed-more-than-1000-contract-workers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">workers were cut from Bay Area refineries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company had idled both refineries in April after shelter-at-home orders drastically cut demand for gasoline and jet fuel. That meant processing units at the plants stopped making transportation fuels and other refined products. For months the refineries have been maintained in “standby” mode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Friday announcement means “most jobs at these refineries will no longer be necessary, and we expect to begin a phased reduction of staffing levels in October” the company said on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marathon employs 740 staff workers at its Martinez refinery, which has gone through \u003ca href=\"https://cchealth.org/hazmat/facilities/tesoro.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">several owners and name changes\u003c/a>. It was formerly known as the Tesoro, Golden Eagle, Tosco Avon and Phillips Avon refinery. Marathon bought the facility in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the full-time employees, the refinery relies on between 250 and 2,500 contract workers depending on operational needs, according to Marathon representative Patricia Deutsche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is also the ‘multiplier’ effect. They say for every one refinery job there are eight in the community that support that,” Deutsche said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This move is a big loss for our workforce and potentially the economy,” said Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, who represents Martinez and has been a longtime advocate for refinery safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeSaulnier said that before the coronavirus pandemic and the oil industry downturn, he began bringing together labor unions, environmental groups and local governments to prepare for a shift to green energy in Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The transition needs to be as successful as possible for everyone and we cannot leave workers behind — they need to be guaranteed meaningful and comparable work,” DeSaulnier said in an emailed statement Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for a leading trade group that represents the oil industry in California said he feels for the local economy that relies on the refinery, \u003ca href=\"https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/californias-petroleum-market/californias-oil-refineries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which can process about 160,000 barrels of crude per day\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously, this impacts a lot of people, families and the community and we are concerned for them,” said Kevin Slagle, a representative for the Western States Petroleum Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery has seen its share of incidents. The worst in the last decade took place in February 2014, when the facility was run by Tesoro. Two workers were burned and 84,000 pounds of sulfuric acid were released. A month later sulfuric acid sprayed and burned two contract workers, leading to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.csb.gov/csb-releases-final-report-on-facility-safety-culture-following-a-series-of-sulfuric-acid-releases-at-the-tesoro-martinez-refinery-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">investigation\u003c/a> by the U.S Chemical Safety Board that raised concerns about the refinery’s safety culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the Bay Area’s other four refineries — Valero in Benicia, Chevron in Richmond, PBF Energy in Martinez and Phillips 66 in Rodeo — the facility has had to send gases to its \u003ca href=\"https://www.baaqmd.gov/~/media/files/compliance-and-enforcement/flares/graphs/flare-emissions-charts/2019/frequency_of_flaring_2019-pdf.pdf?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flares\u003c/a> scores of times over the years, many times to deal with malfunctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local environmentalists who’ve been critical of the region’s oil industry say it’s time for the refinery, its dangers and pollution to go away, but the change should include a plan for workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what an unplanned transition looks like,” said Greg Karras with Community Energy reSource.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s “the tip of the iceberg for why we need a planned, just transition to sustainable energy and a livable climate,” Karras said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some environmentalists and union advocates have used the term “just transition” to explain a fair way of getting fossil fuel industry workers and their surrounding communities, businesses and local governments to move into a green energy economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollin Kretzmann, an Oakland attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, said the air quality benefits of a refinery shutting down are welcome but expressed concern about workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Communities near this dangerous refinery can breathe a little easier now that operations have halted, but the state desperately needs a just transition plan that protects workers when oil companies toss their employees to the curb with little warning,” Kretzmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marathon says its Martinez refinery will be converted to an oil storage facility. The company says it’s considering turning the facility into a renewable diesel facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Marathon refinery’s (potential) conversion into a renewable diesel facility is a forecast of the future as the demand for fossil fuels declines over time, resulting in healthier air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions,” said Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will see more future refinery closures as a result of continued decreasing consumption of fossil fuels under California’s policies transitioning our transportation system to zero emission,” said Gioia, who sits on the the Bay Area Air Quality Management District board and the California Air Resources Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to immediately start addressing a just transition for these workers as more fossil fuel facilities close,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marathon’s decision to end oil processing at its Martinez plant is the latest piece of evidence showing California’s oil industry suffering under a pandemic that’s led to severe drops in fuel demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Ramon-based Chevron, one of the world’s largest oil companies, announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.chevron.com/investors/press-releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">its worst quarter\u003c/a> in decades on Friday. The company said it lost more than $8 billion during the three months ending June 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the oil majors have been clobbered by COVID,” said David Hackett, president of Stillwater Associates, a firm that specializes in analyzing the transportation fuels market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the California Resources Corporation, one of the state’s largest oil producers,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11829255/major-california-oil-producer-falls-victim-to-collapse-in-crude-prices-amid-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> filed for bankruptcy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the Newsom administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11818575/newsom-kills-proposal-to-add-oil-regulators-even-though-industry-would-have-paid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">granted a request\u003c/a> by another oil trade group, the California Independent Petroleum Association, to drop a proposal to add dozens of staff members to the agency that oversees oil and gas drilling that would have cost the industry $24 million. State regulators also agreed to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11817384/with-oil-industry-in-slump-state-offers-a-break-on-some-well-regulations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">postpone a deadline for oil and gas producers\u003c/a> to pay fees and submit plans to manage thousands of idle oil wells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, PBF Energy, the New Jersey-based company that bought Shell’s refinery in Martinez, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11810439/coronavirus-prompts-martinez-refinery-to-cut-back-sell-hydrogen-plants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sold two hydrogen plants\u003c/a> at the facility for hundreds of millions of dollars — a move aimed at cutting costs and raising revenue to deal with fuel demand drops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Brought to nearby missions to be converted to Catholicism, Esselen families were broken up, their land, language and culture forcibly stripped from them. By the early 1800s, about 90% of the tribe's roughly 1,000 members had died, mostly from European-introduced diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is beyond words for us, the highest honor,” said Tom Little Bear Nason, chairman of the tribe. “The land is the most important thing to us.

González, the founder of Latino Outdoors, was on a panel recently, he heard one of the organization’s local leaders explaining how she’d first found the group. She’d typed “outdoor” and “Latino” into Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I did that six or seven years ago, that wasn’t \u003cem>there\u003c/em>,” González says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the whole reason González created Latino Outdoors in 2013: to fill a need. According to its mission statement, the organization wants to \u003ca href=\"https://latinooutdoors.org/about-us/\">create a space\u003c/a> in which “all Latino communities enjoy nature as a safe, inclusive, and welcoming place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their work includes the provision of inclusive programs and resources for those camping for the first time, as well as for those with more experience. It also furthers understanding of ecological history, alongside human history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nature is essential,” says González. “We really need to see it as a necessity rather than just a nicety.” He’s now a consultant and advisor, serving on different boards and working to increase equitable access for communities of color to nature and the outdoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while he and his colleagues have been advocating in this space for years, it’s a wider issue that recently made headlines when the executive director of the Sierra Club, Michael Brune, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11830300/sierra-club-apologizes-for-founder-john-muirs-racist-views\">apologized for the racist views\u003c/a> perpetuated by the organization’s founder: iconic environmentalist John Muir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11793084\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11793084\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How can outdoor spaces like Muir Woods be made more welcoming spaces for communities of color? \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>A Natural Reckoning\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Muir had, wrote Brune in a letter on the Sierra Club’s website, made “derogatory comments about Black people and Indigenous peoples that drew on deeply harmful racist stereotypes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muir’s words on the environment and nature can be found on gift shop paraphernalia around the U.S. National Parks network. One such quotation: “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe,” Muir said\u003ca href=\"https://vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/writings/misquotes.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> in 1911\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For González, there’s a particular irony in these words. For him, they also apply to the very history of conservation in the U.S. — and its relationship to race. As the Sierra Club’s apology spotlighted, Muir’s own image of pristine wilderness unshaped by humans only existed if Indigenous people weren’t part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parks system, much like the founding of the U.S. itself, was designed by a specific demographic — landowning white males and after WWII served “a primarily white middle class,” González said. “We’re now facing the question of: what does that look like, and how does it need to be different, with a different demographic in mind?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People can debate whether or not Muir was racist, says González says, but it “only gets us so far.” For him, it’s more about rethinking of the future of conservation with our current — and future demographics — at its heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we look at the demographics of the new world in 2050, compared to 1950, they’re very different,” González says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11830711\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11830711\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1.jpg 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-800x539.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francis Mendoza on Mount Umunhum in Santa Clara County \u003ccite>(Francis Mendoza )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch3>Doing the Work\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“There’s a history of racism that you can’t erase” says Francis Mendoza, a Filipinx naturalist and park ranger, about the current reckoning within the conservation movement’s regarding its \u003cem>whole\u003c/em> past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to people like Muir, says Mendoza, “it is important to look at him and other figures with a whole view — not just his racism. We have to look at the whole person and decide for ourselves what that person has contributed to and what they have taken \u003cem>away\u003c/em> from, in our social movements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, Mendoza wrote \u003ca href=\"https://baynature.org/2018/11/27/feeling-like-an-outsider-in-an-outside-world/\">an online essay\u003c/a> about often feeling “like an outsider in the outdoors world.” He felt privileged, he wrote, to be part of an inclusion movement that was “shifting the narrative, helping to remove exclusionary barriers, and conserving and protecting these beautiful open spaces that we can all enjoy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza applauds others currently doing important work to confront some of the racist history within organizations: like Teresa Baker, co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.diversifyoutdoors.com/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Outdoor CEO Diversity Pledge\u003c/a> , which \u003ca href=\"https://www.insolidarityproject.com/the-pledge\">aims to connect\u003c/a> “leading outdoor brands with inclusion advocates to advance representation for people of color across the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also folks like Corinna Gould working to counteract the structures of the past. Gould co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sogorea Te Land Trust\u003c/a>, with a mission to return indigenous ownership of Bay Area land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[ad fullwidth]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also about \u003cem>who\u003c/em> gets celebrated from the past. During John Muir’s time, there were also people like \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/ynes-mexia-accomplished-latina-botanist-k6bggm/13948/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ynés Mexía\u003c/a> (1870-1938) a botanist and plant collector. Mexía contributed greatly to the fields of conservation and environmentalism, but people aren’t taught about her, says José G. González.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not the history that gets shared when we learn about conservation — because we idolize John Muir so much,” González said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s about “unearthing our conservation \u003cem>cultura,\u003c/em>” he says: “acknowledging that while so much of this is ‘new,’ it’s rooted in the work of a lot of other organizations and individuals throughout our history that have been buried, excluded, and ignored.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Nature as Essential\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Spending time in nature has clear, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/50949/suffering-from-nature-deficit-disorder-try-forest-bathing\">proven benefits\u003c/a> for physical \u003cem>and\u003c/em> mental health.

González, the founder of Latino Outdoors, was on a panel recently, he heard one of the organization’s local leaders explaining how she’d first found the group. She’d typed “outdoor” and “Latino” into Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I did that six or seven years ago, that wasn’t \u003cem>there\u003c/em>,” González says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the whole reason González created Latino Outdoors in 2013: to fill a need. According to its mission statement, the organization wants to \u003ca href=\"https://latinooutdoors.org/about-us/\">create a space\u003c/a> in which “all Latino communities enjoy nature as a safe, inclusive, and welcoming place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their work includes the provision of inclusive programs and resources for those camping for the first time, as well as for those with more experience. It also furthers understanding of ecological history, alongside human history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nature is essential,” says González. “We really need to see it as a necessity rather than just a nicety.” He’s now a consultant and advisor, serving on different boards and working to increase equitable access for communities of color to nature and the outdoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while he and his colleagues have been advocating in this space for years, it’s a wider issue that recently made headlines when the executive director of the Sierra Club, Michael Brune, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11830300/sierra-club-apologizes-for-founder-john-muirs-racist-views\">apologized for the racist views\u003c/a> perpetuated by the organization’s founder: iconic environmentalist John Muir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11793084\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11793084\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS40604_GettyImages-177068762-qut-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How can outdoor spaces like Muir Woods be made more welcoming spaces for communities of color? \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>A Natural Reckoning\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Muir had, wrote Brune in a letter on the Sierra Club’s website, made “derogatory comments about Black people and Indigenous peoples that drew on deeply harmful racist stereotypes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muir’s words on the environment and nature can be found on gift shop paraphernalia around the U.S. National Parks network. One such quotation: “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe,” Muir said\u003ca href=\"https://vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/writings/misquotes.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> in 1911\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For González, there’s a particular irony in these words. For him, they also apply to the very history of conservation in the U.S. — and its relationship to race. As the Sierra Club’s apology spotlighted, Muir’s own image of pristine wilderness unshaped by humans only existed if Indigenous people weren’t part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parks system, much like the founding of the U.S. itself, was designed by a specific demographic — landowning white males and after WWII served “a primarily white middle class,” González said. “We’re now facing the question of: what does that look like, and how does it need to be different, with a different demographic in mind?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People can debate whether or not Muir was racist, says González says, but it “only gets us so far.” For him, it’s more about rethinking of the future of conservation with our current — and future demographics — at its heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we look at the demographics of the new world in 2050, compared to 1950, they’re very different,” González says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11830711\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11830711\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1.jpg 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-800x539.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/nature-1-1536x1035.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francis Mendoza on Mount Umunhum in Santa Clara County \u003ccite>(Francis Mendoza )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch3>Doing the Work\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“There’s a history of racism that you can’t erase” says Francis Mendoza, a Filipinx naturalist and park ranger, about the current reckoning within the conservation movement’s regarding its \u003cem>whole\u003c/em> past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to people like Muir, says Mendoza, “it is important to look at him and other figures with a whole view — not just his racism.

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The Sierra Club apologized Wednesday for racist remarks its founder, naturalist John Muir, made more than a century ago as the influential environmental group grapples with a harmful history that perpetuated white supremacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Executive Director Michael Brune said it was “time to take down some of our own monuments” as statues of Confederate officers and colonists are toppled across the U.S. in a reckoning with the nation’s racist history following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muir, who founded the club in 1892, helped spawn the environmental movement and is called “father of our national parks,” figures prominently in what Brune called a “truth-telling” about the group’s early history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He made derogatory comments about Black people and Indigenous peoples that drew on deeply harmful racist stereotypes, though his views evolved later in his life,” Brune wrote on the group’s website. “As the most iconic figure in Sierra Club history, Muir’s words and actions carry an especially heavy weight. They continue to hurt and alienate Indigenous people and people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muir, who was born in Scotland, came to the U.S. as a young man and traveled and wrote extensively, romanticizing nature in breathless passages. He emphasized the need to preserve the land but also disdained Indigenous people as dirty savages and Black people as lazy “Sambos,” a particularly offensive slur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also kept company with other early club members and leaders, such as Joseph LeConte and David Starr Jordan, who advocated for white supremacy and promoting the race through eugenics, which called for forced sterilization of Black people and other minority groups, Brune said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until recent years, Muir’s legacy has been largely untarnished and focused on his conservation efforts, such as saving Yosemite Valley before it became a national park and preserving the world’s largest trees in what became Sequoia National Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Richard White, a Stanford history professor, said Muir’s advocacy for wilderness has an inherent racial bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muir’s image of pristine wilderness unshaped by humans only existed if indigenous people weren’t part of it. Even though they had been there for thousands of years, Muir wrote that they “seemed to have no right place in the landscape.” American Indians needed to be removed in order to reinvent those places as untouched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a dark underside here that will not be erased by just saying Muir was a racist,” White said. “I would leave Muir’s name on things but explain that, as hard as it may be to accept, it is not just Muir who was racist. The way we created the wilderness areas we now rightly prize was racist.” [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Richard White, Stanford history professor\"]'As hard as it may be to accept, it is not just Muir who was racist. The way we created the wilderness areas we now rightly prize was racist.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muir is so widely revered that his name appears across California on everything from schools to national monuments, one of the state’s highest peaks, a giant swath of scenic Sierra Nevada wilderness that is bisected by a trail in his name and a national historic site.

They continue to hurt and alienate Indigenous people and people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muir, who was born in Scotland, came to the U.S. as a young man and traveled and wrote extensively, romanticizing nature in breathless passages. He emphasized the need to preserve the land but also disdained Indigenous people as dirty savages and Black people as lazy “Sambos,” a particularly offensive slur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Even though they had been there for thousands of years, Muir wrote that they “seemed to have no right place in the landscape.” American Indians needed to be removed in order to reinvent those places as untouched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a dark underside here that will not be erased by just saying Muir was a racist,” White said. “I would leave Muir’s name on things but explain that, as hard as it may be to accept, it is not just Muir who was racist.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
