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.",

The 3rd Precinct police building in Minneapolis was set on fire Thursday night. Gov.

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-preventing-online-censorship/\">executive order\u003c/a> Thursday aimed at limiting the broad legal protections enjoyed by social media companies, two days after he tore into Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/26/862797418/twitter-points-users-to-fact-checks-of-trump-tweets-for-the-first-time\">for fact-checking\u003c/a> two of his tweets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're here today to defend free speech from one of the gravest dangers it has faced in American history, frankly,\" Trump said from the Oval Office. \"A small handful of powerful social media monopolies control the vast portion of all private and public communications in the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president said the tech companies have \"unchecked power to censor, restrict, edit, shape, hide, alter\" a large sphere of human interaction. \"They have points of view,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration hopes the order will eventually set the stage for new regulations on tech platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But legal experts said they were doubtful the move would have any practical effect on the tech giants. Legal observers described the action as \"political theater,\" arguing that the order does not change existing federal law and will have no bearing on federal courts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's latest confrontation with Twitter was set off after the tech company placed fact-checking warnings on two of his tweets that claimed, without evidence, that casting ballots by mail allows for voter fraud.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Both Democratic and Republican states \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/04/11/831978099/even-as-trump-denounces-vote-by-mail-gop-in-florida-and-elsewhere-relies-on-it\">have used\u003c/a> voting by mail for years without reports of widespread fraud. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump lashed out at Twitter, comparing the fact-checking labels to censorship and accusing the social media giant of stifling conservative voices, though the president did not provide any examples to back up his assertion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president, who often uses Twitter as a megaphone to tout his victories and blast his critics, responded to the fact-checking labels by threatening to shut down social media companies despite not having the sole authority to do so. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Wednesday that the platform will continue to warn users about factual distortions on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This does not make us an 'arbiter of truth,' \" Dorsey \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jack/status/1265837139360485376\">wrote on Twitter\u003c/a>. \"Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorsey's comment was an apparent response to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/media/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-twitter-fact-checking-trump\">told Fox News\u003c/a> earlier Wednesday that social media companies should stay out of the business of weighing in on what is true or not. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Private companies probably shouldn't be, especially these platform companies, shouldn't be in the position of doing that,\" Zuckerberg said. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Regulator: Turning FCC into 'the President's speech police is not the answer'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The White House order takes aim at a 1996 law passed by Congress that has often been at the center of political fights over regulating speech on social media platforms: \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230\">Section 230\u003c/a> of the Communications Decency Act. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law protects internet companies from being sued over content that appears on their platforms and allows for content moderation. The removal of a post is left up to the internal rules of companies such as Twitter and Facebook, \u003ca href=\"https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/LSB10306.pdf\">provided\u003c/a> those decisions are made \"in good faith.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='twitter']Courts have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change\">repeatedly\u003c/a> upheld the law in favor of technology companies, \u003ca href=\"http://media.ca1.uscourts.gov/pdf.opinions/15-1724P-01A.pdf\">even when the statute was\u003c/a> used to defend websites advertising children who were forced into sex trafficking. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's order seeks to chip away at that protection by offering a new interpretation of the law. The order argues, in essence, that if the social media companies restrict certain voices on their platforms, the companies should be stripped of their legal immunity, opening the doors to a wave of lawsuits over content seen as defamatory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal experts greeted the order with heavy skepticism, saying, absent a new law passed by Congress, it would not be legally binding. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It flies in the face of 25 years of judicial precedent, that has been federal precedent in almost every circuit court,\" said Kate Klonick, a professor at St. John's University School of Law in New York. \"It's not the role of the president to interpret federal law.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order was \"a very, very clear piece of political theater,\" Klonick told NPR, adding that the action is \"unlikely to have any kind of weight or authority.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order directs the Federal Communications Commission to start a rule-making process to clarify when social media companies should keep protections under the law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Height Capital Markets analysts Chase White and Clayton Allen described the executive order as \"mostly noise without any teeth.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a note to investors, they wrote that the FCC only exerts limited control over social media companies, which are not regulated like traditional broadcasters. And historically, the FCC has been opposed to social media regulation, White and Allen pointed out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, some of the five members of FCC are expressing concern about the White House's action. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This does not work.

"content": "\u003cp>The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that public agencies cannot charge for staff time and technical costs in preparing multimedia materials they’re required to release under the California Public Records Act. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landmark ruling, which centers on the costs agencies have charged for redacting sensitive information from multimedia files, came in a lawsuit filed by the National Lawyers Guild against the city of Hayward. The decision promises to dramatically increase public access to police body camera footage among other audio and video files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The court drew a bright line,\" said attorney Amitai Schwartz, who represented the National Lawyers Guild. \"We’re very happy with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case goes back to early 2015, when the guild’s Bay Area chapter requested records related to Hayward officers’ behavior during \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10556556/berkeley-cops-protest-tactic-getum-running\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Black Lives Matter protests\u003c/a> in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayward eventually provided the videos, after struggling to figure out a way to remove parts of the footage that were exempt from disclosure. For instance, a public agency can withhold video that captures officers discussing tactics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayward sought to charge the lawyers guild $3,000 for the time two employees spent preparing the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guild challenged those costs in court, arguing that an agency may only pass on the direct cost to duplicate a record under the Public Records Act. For paper records, those charges can include costs for paper and toner, for instance, but not for time spent blacking out any portion of a document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the Public Records Act was amended in 2000 to allow agencies to charge for responses that require “data compilation, extraction, or programming.” Hayward argued that redacting the videos was akin to “extracting” information from them. The National Lawyers Guild argued the provision was meant to include situations where agencies produce parts of databases — a task that may require computer programming — but not redaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question here is what the Legislature meant by the term ‘extraction,’ ” the ruling by Justice Leondra Kruger says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“[T]he term ‘extraction’ does not cover every process that might be colloquially described as ‘taking information out.’ It does not, for example, cover time spent searching for responsive records in an email inbox or a computer’s documents folder. Just as agencies cannot recover the costs of searching through a filing cabinet for paper records, they cannot recover comparable costs for electronic records. Nor, for similar reasons, does ‘extraction’ cover the cost of redacting exempt data from otherwise producible electronic records.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The ruling is much more than an affirmation for those advocating for increased access to public records, and its reach goes far beyond Hayward's body camera videos from 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we see from the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis just this week, and other killings, police violence is as much of an issue today as it was in 2014 when we requested this body camera video,\" said Rachel Lederman, a civil rights attorney and former head of the National Lawyers Guild's Bay Area Chapter. \"This is a great ruling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely to change the landscape regarding access to police body camera footage and other internal law enforcement files that must be released under two recent state laws that grant \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/policerecords\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">broader public access\u003c/a>, Senate Bill 1421 and Assembly Bill 748.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The laws both took effect last year. SB 1421 requires police agencies, for the first time in 40 years, to provide records from internal investigations into serious uses of force by law enforcement officers. It similarly requires police agencies to disclose records from misconduct investigations involving allegations of sexual assault and dishonesty against officers. Those investigations often include multimedia files, including audio recordings of interrogations and video from surveillance cameras and body cameras.[aside tag=\"police-records\" label=\"California's Secret Police Files\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/policerecords\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 748 generally requires law enforcement agencies to release video of “critical incidents,” including police shootings, within 45 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past year, many law enforcement agencies have provided those files at reasonable or no cost. But some have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to records requests from a \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">coalition of news organizations\u003c/a>, including KQED, the Bakersfield Police Department has provided text documents related to nearly 40 police shootings, 65 additional serious uses of force, seven investigations into officer dishonesty and two sexual assault cases. KQED was among 33 news organizations represented by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.rcfp.org/briefs-comments/national-lawyers-guild-v-city-of-hayward-california-court-of-appeal/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press\u003c/a> that filed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.rcfp.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2019-05-31-NLG-v-Hayward-CA-Supreme-Court.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">brief\u003c/a> to the Supreme Court supporting the National Lawyers Guild's position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing the provision of state law at issue in the National Lawyers Guild case, Bakersfield quoted a cost of $110.36 per hour of multimedia content, estimating that each shooting case contained an average of 15 hours of audio or video files.

The decision promises to dramatically increase public access to police body camera footage among other audio and video files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The court drew a bright line,\" said attorney Amitai Schwartz, who represented the National Lawyers Guild. \"We’re very happy with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case goes back to early 2015, when the guild’s Bay Area chapter requested records related to Hayward officers’ behavior during \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10556556/berkeley-cops-protest-tactic-getum-running\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Black Lives Matter protests\u003c/a> in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayward eventually provided the videos, after struggling to figure out a way to remove parts of the footage that were exempt from disclosure. For instance, a public agency can withhold video that captures officers discussing tactics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For paper records, those charges can include costs for paper and toner, for instance, but not for time spent blacking out any portion of a document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the Public Records Act was amended in 2000 to allow agencies to charge for responses that require “data compilation, extraction, or programming.” Hayward argued that redacting the videos was akin to “extracting” information from them. The National Lawyers Guild argued the provision was meant to include situations where agencies produce parts of databases — a task that may require computer programming — but not redaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question here is what the Legislature meant by the term ‘extraction,’ ” the ruling by Justice Leondra Kruger says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“[T]he term ‘extraction’ does not cover every process that might be colloquially described as ‘taking information out.’ It does not, for example, cover time spent searching for responsive records in an email inbox or a computer’s documents folder. Just as agencies cannot recover the costs of searching through a filing cabinet for paper records, they cannot recover comparable costs for electronic records. Nor, for similar reasons, does ‘extraction’ cover the cost of redacting exempt data from otherwise producible electronic records.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The ruling is much more than an affirmation for those advocating for increased access to public records, and its reach goes far beyond Hayward's body camera videos from 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we see from the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis just this week, and other killings, police violence is as much of an issue today as it was in 2014 when we requested this body camera video,\" said Rachel Lederman, a civil rights attorney and former head of the National Lawyers Guild's Bay Area Chapter. \"This is a great ruling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely to change the landscape regarding access to police body camera footage and other internal law enforcement files that must be released under two recent state laws that grant \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/policerecords\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">broader public access\u003c/a>, Senate Bill 1421 and Assembly Bill 748.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The laws both took effect last year. SB 1421 requires police agencies, for the first time in 40 years, to provide records from internal investigations into serious uses of force by law enforcement officers. It similarly requires police agencies to disclose records from misconduct investigations involving allegations of sexual assault and dishonesty against officers. Those investigations often include multimedia files, including audio recordings of interrogations and video from surveillance cameras and body cameras.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>So far, San Francisco has had a relatively small number of deaths from COVID-19, compared to most other large Bay Area counties. But hundreds of deaths in San Francisco are still being investigated by the medical examiner’s office, raising questions about whether the true death count is as low as it seems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Friday, 40 people had died from COVID-19 in San Francisco, according to the city’s public health department. But the cause of 243 other deaths, reported to the county morgue from December through April, remain unresolved. And the medical examiner’s office had exceeded a 90-day deadline for closing more than a quarter of those cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin suspects those pending results could push the COVID-19 death rate closer to other Bay Area counties, including Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been asking the same questions that many people are wondering: how many un-processed cases at the medical examiner’s office that are pending investigation could be due to COVID-19?” said Peskin, who sits on the committee that oversees the medical examiner. “We have seen cities and countries around the world that have actually raised their official COVID-19 death counts as they’ve slowly gone back through unknown deaths.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs at the medical examiner’s office have been a problem in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014 then-Chief Medical Examiner Amy Hart stepped down from the top position after families complained of having to wait six months for the final results of autopsies on their loved ones.

But hundreds of deaths in San Francisco are still being investigated by the medical examiner’s office, raising questions about whether the true death count is as low as it seems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Friday, 40 people had died from COVID-19 in San Francisco, according to the city’s public health department. But the cause of 243 other deaths, reported to the county morgue from December through April, remain unresolved. And the medical examiner’s office had exceeded a 90-day deadline for closing more than a quarter of those cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin suspects those pending results could push the COVID-19 death rate closer to other Bay Area counties, including Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been asking the same questions that many people are wondering: how many un-processed cases at the medical examiner’s office that are pending investigation could be due to COVID-19?” said Peskin, who sits on the committee that oversees the medical examiner. “We have seen cities and countries around the world that have actually raised their official COVID-19 death counts as they’ve slowly gone back through unknown deaths.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs at the medical examiner’s office have been a problem in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We’re taking care of ourselves off the grid,” said Wallace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='pge']Less than a week before the deadline, Wallace sent a letter to Judge Montali asking him to extend the voting period by 45 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like all of the 12 fire survivors interviewed by KQED about the delays, Wallace doesn’t have a lawyer representing her in the PG&E bankruptcy case, a group PG&E has stated in Montali’s court could comprise as many as 18,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E and Prime Clerk are overseeing the voting, and didn’t answer specific questions about why some survivors got their materials well after the dissemination date the utility’s lawyers stated in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we can’t speak to those incidences or circumstances surrounding them, the court’s balloting agent — Prime Clerk — will make a filing later this week to communicate the final voting results,” said PG&E spokeswoman Ari Vanrenen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The voting process has been contentious, with fire survivors opposed to the deal \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11817486/pge-bankruptcy-judge-weighs-potential-conflict-of-interest-of-fire-survivors-lawyer\">taking issue with lawyers\u003c/a> who have encouraged their clients to support it. The timing of payment and final amount of the settlement – which on paper is worth $13.5 billion in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11805766/pge-victims-weigh-rare-stock-funded-trust-amid-market-turmoil\">combined cash and PG&E stock\u003c/a> – is still being negotiated with the utility, even now that voting is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11819194/fire-survivor-vote-on-huge-pge-settlement-can-stand-says-judge-despite-concern-over-lawyers-potential-conflict\">said this week\u003c/a> that preliminary results show overwhelming support from fire survivors. Approval from two-thirds of them would give PG&E the support it needs to move forward with its Chapter 11 exit plan on time. But only those who successfully cast ballots will count in the final tally, which is set to be released on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A source familiar with the voting process said it’s not clear if people will be able to view their ballots afterwards to ensure that their votes were accurately counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaching 70,000 people was never expected to be easy, according to UC Hastings bankruptcy professor Jared Ellias, who said the challenge has been exacerbated by the enormous spectrum of circumstances that PG&E fire survivors now find themselves in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the one hand, you have people who are so highly connected and sophisticated that they’re actively participating in the bankruptcy process,” Ellias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the other hand, you have people who haven’t necessary recovered personally or financially from the tragedy. Some are living in places that are on the frontier of American settlement where internet and cell service is slow, where it’s hard to participate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Reaching and engaging that whole community is a monumental challenge,” Ellias added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Michelle Smith, who is still rebuilding after the 2017 Nuns Fire, getting her ballot on May 8 prompted her to vote online in hopes that it will be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have my current address. There was no problem in finding me,” Smith said. “I feel for the people who they haven’t found yet. We were all displaced. Some left the county, I don’t have a sense of how many haven’t received one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voting online presented challenges for Camp Fire survivor Karen Masterson, who received her packet around the same time as Smith. Masterson and her husband now live in South Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After I submitted it, I realized I never accepted or rejected the proposal. It’s just frustrating,” Masterson said. Masterson called tech support at Prime Clerk to try again with a new ballot identification number but isn’t sure if it worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s trying to stay patient, even though voting on the settlement triggered emotions in ways she hadn’t expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know the bankruptcy takes time,” Masterson said. “But having to keep scratching at the scab – I can’t think of anybody who hasn’t fallen apart in the last week because of all these feelings coming back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Approval from two-thirds of them would give PG&E the support it needs to move forward with its Chapter 11 exit plan on time. But only those who successfully cast ballots will count in the final tally, which is set to be released on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A source familiar with the voting process said it’s not clear if people will be able to view their ballots afterwards to ensure that their votes were accurately counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaching 70,000 people was never expected to be easy, according to UC Hastings bankruptcy professor Jared Ellias, who said the challenge has been exacerbated by the enormous spectrum of circumstances that PG&E fire survivors now find themselves in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the one hand, you have people who are so highly connected and sophisticated that they’re actively participating in the bankruptcy process,” Ellias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the other hand, you have people who haven’t necessary recovered personally or financially from the tragedy. Some are living in places that are on the frontier of American settlement where internet and cell service is slow, where it’s hard to participate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Reaching and engaging that whole community is a monumental challenge,” Ellias added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Michelle Smith, who is still rebuilding after the 2017 Nuns Fire, getting her ballot on May 8 prompted her to vote online in hopes that it will be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have my current address. There was no problem in finding me,” Smith said. “I feel for the people who they haven’t found yet. We were all displaced. Some left the county, I don’t have a sense of how many haven’t received one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voting online presented challenges for Camp Fire survivor Karen Masterson, who received her packet around the same time as Smith. Masterson and her husband now live in South Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After I submitted it, I realized I never accepted or rejected the proposal. It’s just frustrating,” Masterson said. Masterson called tech support at Prime Clerk to try again with a new ballot identification number but isn’t sure if it worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s trying to stay patient, even though voting on the settlement triggered emotions in ways she hadn’t expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know the bankruptcy takes time,” Masterson said. “But having to keep scratching at the scab – I can’t think of anybody who hasn’t fallen apart in the last week because of all these feelings coming back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One question they’re considering: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801176/what-would-housing-as-a-human-right-look-like-in-california\">How can the Golden State guarantee housing as a right?\u003c/a> This week, state legislators looked at two different approaches that tackle the legal right to housing and how the coronavirus pandemic is shaping the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Right to Housing for Families and Children\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A California bill to create a “right to housing” mandate for families and children easily passed out of the Housing and Community Development committee on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB2405\">Assembly Bill 2405\u003c/a>, introduced by Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Inglewood, would declare a right to housing and force state agencies to house children and families at risk of falling into homelessness. The state would need to provide rental assistance, eviction defense or emergency shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke’s legislation specifically focuses on children and families, which she says was inspired by her legislative work on child poverty. Her research led her to the idea that a right to housing was essential to halting the cycle of poverty for California families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco\"]‘It’s the moral thing to do. It’s a humane thing to do. It’s also, during this pandemic, the right thing to do for public health.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her bill is a revived version of Assembly Bill 22, which died in the Appropriations Committee earlier this year. The current legislation does not include an estimate of the potential cost for carrying out a right to housing, something that could prove difficult in a state that is grappling with a massive housing shortage and a homeless population of about 150,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After introducing her bill to the committee Wednesday, Burke added that the coronavirus pandemic “has created a realization of how many families are truly one paycheck away from being homeless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, and the chair of the Housing Committee, has signed on as a co-author for the new bill. Chiu said addressing housing was already a top priority this year, but the coronavirus pandemic has only made it more urgent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the moral thing to do. It’s a humane thing to do. It’s also, during this pandemic, the right thing to do for public health,” Chiu said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Amending the Constitution on Hold for Now\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Another bill that would have taken the idea of a right to housing even further didn’t make the cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal from Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, would have encoded housing as a human right in the state’s constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Bonta introduced the constitutional amendment, \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200ACA10\">the Housing is a Human Right Act\u003c/a>, that would “ensure access to adequate housing for all Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe we need to do something that meets the problem in scope and scale and in boldness,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801176/what-would-housing-as-a-human-right-look-like-in-california\">A constitutional amendment\u003c/a> has been in the works for months after conversations began in February between Bonta’s office and Moms 4 Housing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11787750/two-homeless-moms-occupy-vacant-house-to-protest-oakland-housing-crisis\">a group of homeless women and children who took over a vacant home in West Oakland\u003c/a> to protest investors driving up home prices and leaving properties empty amid a homeless crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carroll Fife, the director of Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.acceaction.org/about\">Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that helped organize Moms 4 Housing, says their call to action has only grown louder amid the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Out of all of the things that we have to worry about in the world, the primary need for shelter — for safe, dignified shelter — should not be one of the things that keep you up at night,” Fife said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other advocates for housing as a human right lauded Bonta’s proposal as an important step toward meeting California’s housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For too long we’ve known that housing hasn’t been recognized as a human right and certainly hasn’t been implemented as a human right,” said Eric Tars, legal director at the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11818462,news_11818184,news_11816648\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tars has spent much of his career researching housing and human rights law, and believes a legal right to housing is critical to address California’s affordability crisis and growing homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody’s being held accountable, and people keep kicking the can down the road and the situation keeps getting worse,” Tars said. “By making housing a human right, it means the state can’t just do nothing. They have to be taking steps to move things forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But faced with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11818289/newsoms-revised-budget-cancels-6-billion-in-planned-program-expansions\">massive budget deficit\u003c/a> and a shortened session, California lawmakers say their timelines have shifted. Fewer hearings means less room for discussing big ideas like the human right to housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And this constitutional amendment deserves robust discussion, massive input and expertise from different sectors and areas to help get it right,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta’s proposal isn’t going away, and he hopes to have it considered in the next session with an eye towards getting on it the ballot before California voters in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

One question they’re considering: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801176/what-would-housing-as-a-human-right-look-like-in-california\">How can the Golden State guarantee housing as a right?\u003c/a> This week, state legislators looked at two different approaches that tackle the legal right to housing and how the coronavirus pandemic is shaping the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Right to Housing for Families and Children\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A California bill to create a “right to housing” mandate for families and children easily passed out of the Housing and Community Development committee on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB2405\">Assembly Bill 2405\u003c/a>, introduced by Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Inglewood, would declare a right to housing and force state agencies to house children and families at risk of falling into homelessness. The state would need to provide rental assistance, eviction defense or emergency shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke’s legislation specifically focuses on children and families, which she says was inspired by her legislative work on child poverty. Her research led her to the idea that a right to housing was essential to halting the cycle of poverty for California families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
