As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

"content": "\u003cp>Andy Lopez's death hit many Sonoma County residents and law enforcement officers hard. The 13-year-old was shot seven times by a sheriff's deputy who believed the toy gun the boy was carrying was a real AK-47. Lopez died at the scene, a tragic death by the field where he played regularly with siblings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oct. 22, 2013 shooting \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/29/andy-lopez/\">sparked protests, marches, vigils\u003c/a> and dozens of meetings in the weeks and months that followed, with many asking \u003cem>how\u003c/em> the county would respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents demanded changes to policing tactics of largely Latino neighborhoods just outside the city of Santa Rosa. They wanted \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2015/12/11/santa-rosa-community-continues-to-call-for-police-reforms-after-shooting-of-andy-lopez/\">greater accountability\u003c/a> and oversight of law enforcement. But then, the fight turned to something broader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three years after Lopez was shot, residents in his community say his death has empowered them to change a historical lack of investment by the county government in their neighborhood and other working-class unincorporated areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since the Andy Lopez incident, the community has come together as one voice.

Its first director, attorney Jerry Threet, began auditing those investigations earlier this year, and said he is hopeful it will increase transparency and public trust in law enforcement, particularly among Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>County To Build Andy's Unity Park\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other changes, like a memorial park for Lopez on the field where he died, are still in the works. The county plans to begin construction of the 4-acre, multimillion-dollar \u003ca href=\"http://parks.sonomacounty.ca.gov/About_Us/Project_Details/Moorland_Neighborhood_Park.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">project\u003c/a> by the end of the year. The design for the park's facilities, including a tot playground, skate park and community garden, incorporated input from dozens of youth and residents, like Ana Maria Salgado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Andy deserves a place where he is recognized here,\" said Salgado in Spanish. \"Andy's Unity Park represents the hope that if we unite, there can be positive changes for our children and grandchildren.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, residents of Lopez's neighborhood have to travel about 2 miles to reach the closest park facilities. So local kids often play in the field where Lopez was shot. Neighbors have donated plastic slides and other toys, which are spread out on the lot. A white makeshift memorial for Lopez, built by relatives and friends with wooden boards and a tent, still holds photos of a smiling Lopez, teddy bears and flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The 'Forgotten Side'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salgado, a stay-at-home mother of three, said Andy's Unity Park, once built, will have a big impact on the quality of life of hundreds of children and youth in the area, which she and neighbors call \"the forgotten side.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the forgotten side because there are so many things and services lacking that are plentiful on the other side,\" said Salgado, 48, referring to whiter and wealthier city neighborhoods across the freeway. \"Our youth don't have those same opportunities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As elsewhere in the nation, significant educational, health and economic \u003ca href=\"http://www.measureofamerica.org/sonoma/\" target=\"_blank\">gaps persist\u003c/a> between Latinos and other better-off residents of Sonoma County. The Roseland area, next to Lopez's neighborhood, ranks near the bottom for life expectancy and well-being, compared to 50 other county census tracts in a 2014 county \u003ca href=\"http://ssrc-static.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05141006/English_Complete_POSC.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of her life, Salgado had never been politically active. By her own accounts, she was timid and focused her energies mostly on her family.

The 13-year-old was shot seven times by a sheriff's deputy who believed the toy gun the boy was carrying was a real AK-47. Lopez died at the scene, a tragic death by the field where he played regularly with siblings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oct. 22, 2013 shooting \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/29/andy-lopez/\">sparked protests, marches, vigils\u003c/a> and dozens of meetings in the weeks and months that followed, with many asking \u003cem>how\u003c/em> the county would respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents demanded changes to policing tactics of largely Latino neighborhoods just outside the city of Santa Rosa. They wanted \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2015/12/11/santa-rosa-community-continues-to-call-for-police-reforms-after-shooting-of-andy-lopez/\">greater accountability\u003c/a> and oversight of law enforcement. But then, the fight turned to something broader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three years after Lopez was shot, residents in his community say his death has empowered them to change a historical lack of investment by the county government in their neighborhood and other working-class unincorporated areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since the Andy Lopez incident, the community has come together as one voice. It kind of woke us up,\" said 70-year-old Esther Lemus, who lives down the street from where Lopez died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Its first director, attorney Jerry Threet, began auditing those investigations earlier this year, and said he is hopeful it will increase transparency and public trust in law enforcement, particularly among Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>County To Build Andy's Unity Park\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other changes, like a memorial park for Lopez on the field where he died, are still in the works. The county plans to begin construction of the 4-acre, multimillion-dollar \u003ca href=\"http://parks.sonomacounty.ca.gov/About_Us/Project_Details/Moorland_Neighborhood_Park.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">project\u003c/a> by the end of the year. The design for the park's facilities, including a tot playground, skate park and community garden, incorporated input from dozens of youth and residents, like Ana Maria Salgado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Andy deserves a place where he is recognized here,\" said Salgado in Spanish. \"Andy's Unity Park represents the hope that if we unite, there can be positive changes for our children and grandchildren.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, residents of Lopez's neighborhood have to travel about 2 miles to reach the closest park facilities. So local kids often play in the field where Lopez was shot. Neighbors have donated plastic slides and other toys, which are spread out on the lot. A white makeshift memorial for Lopez, built by relatives and friends with wooden boards and a tent, still holds photos of a smiling Lopez, teddy bears and flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The 'Forgotten Side'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salgado, a stay-at-home mother of three, said Andy's Unity Park, once built, will have a big impact on the quality of life of hundreds of children and youth in the area, which she and neighbors call \"the forgotten side.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the forgotten side because there are so many things and services lacking that are plentiful on the other side,\" said Salgado, 48, referring to whiter and wealthier city neighborhoods across the freeway. \"Our youth don't have those same opportunities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As elsewhere in the nation, significant educational, health and economic \u003ca href=\"http://www.measureofamerica.org/sonoma/\" target=\"_blank\">gaps persist\u003c/a> between Latinos and other better-off residents of Sonoma County. The Roseland area, next to Lopez's neighborhood, ranks near the bottom for life expectancy and well-being, compared to 50 other county census tracts in a 2014 county \u003ca href=\"http://ssrc-static.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05141006/English_Complete_POSC.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of her life, Salgado had never been politically active. By her own accounts, she was timid and focused her energies mostly on her family. But she said Lopez's death moved her to become more vocal, putting in hours of volunteer work advocating for Andy's Unity Park and other changes. The shy stay-at-home mom has become a community activist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This park has the heart of the community of Moorland and a lot of people that supported us.

The family of Terence Crutcher, who was shot dead by police Friday, says the footage should lead to criminal charges against the officer who killed an unarmed man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department has begun a parallel investigation into possible civil rights charges related to Crutcher's death, U.S. Attorney Danny Williams Sr. said Monday. He promised \"to seek justice on behalf of this family, and for the public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crutcher, 40, who was black, died next to his SUV that had stopped in the middle of a two-lane road in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Seconds before he was shot, police dashcam and helicopter footage show, he had walked to his car with his hands held over his head as Officer Betty Shelby walked behind him, her gun raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll post the helicopter video \u003ca href=\"https://vimeopro.com/user18042709/september-16-2016-tulsa-police-officer-involved-shooting\">and link to more footage here\u003c/a>, with the warning that some of the video is graphic and may be difficult to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr_CWr5iSLY]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the recording from the Tulsa police helicopter, an officer is heard saying of Crutcher as he walks in front of Shelby, \"Looks like that's a bad dude, maybe on something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers had been called to the scene by passers-by who had reported a vehicle abandoned in the road. \"He took off running,\" a woman told a 911 operator, saying that the man said his vehicle might blow up. She added, \"I think he's smoking something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelby, who is white, was one of four police officers who were standing at the rear bumper of Crutcher's car as he stood next to his vehicle around 7:45 p.m. Friday.

Money in customers' accounts was said to have been moved to these new accounts without their permission. Debit cards were issued and activated, as well as PINs created, without telling customers. In some cases, bank employees even created fake email addresses to sign up customers for online banking services, the regulators said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bank sales staff had a goal of getting each customer to have eight different accounts with the bank — up from the prevailing average of six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the settlement, Wells Fargo neither admitted nor denied the allegations. It later said it plans to eliminate the sales targets by Jan. 1. Some 5,300 Wells Fargo employees have been fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stumpf offered some detail at the hearing about who was fired, saying \"bankers, bank managers, managers of managers, and even an area president.\" They ranged in pay from about $35,000 to $65,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel also plans to question regulators from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Treasury Department's Office of the Controller of the Currency and the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. Senators are examining their role in the debacle and why the sales practices went on for years before the regulators cracked down.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She is expected to leave with as much as $125 million in salary, stock options and other compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo has long been known for its\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/13/wells-fargo-says-it-will-clean-up-its-act-in-wake-of-big-fine/\"> aggressive sales goals\u003c/a>, but the details and the $185 million fine that regulators imposed last week have singed the consumer banking giant's reputation as a well-run, tightly managed company removed from the reckless conduct on Wall Street that stoked the financial crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In announcing the fine, regulators said Wells Fargo sales employees opened more than 2 million bank and credit card accounts that may not have been authorized by customers. Money in customers' accounts was said to have been moved to these new accounts without their permission. Debit cards were issued and activated, as well as PINs created, without telling customers. In some cases, bank employees even created fake email addresses to sign up customers for online banking services, the regulators said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bank sales staff had a goal of getting each customer to have eight different accounts with the bank — up from the prevailing average of six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the settlement, Wells Fargo neither admitted nor denied the allegations. It later said it plans to eliminate the sales targets by Jan. 1. Some 5,300 Wells Fargo employees have been fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stumpf offered some detail at the hearing about who was fired, saying \"bankers, bank managers, managers of managers, and even an area president.\" They ranged in pay from about $35,000 to $65,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel also plans to question regulators from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Treasury Department's Office of the Controller of the Currency and the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. Senators are examining their role in the debacle and why the sales practices went on for years before the regulators cracked down.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>“End Rape on the Night Shift.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s been the motto for California janitors who for months have held demonstrations throughout the state, who have been arrested for blocking traffic in an act of civil disobedience, and who have fasted near the state Capitol to show support for survivors of workplace sexual assault. They’ve even posted the message on billboards in the San Francisco Bay Area that depict a female cleaner who is being grabbed and silenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These actions were a way of publicizing a problem that immigrant night-shift cleaners say they frequently confront. It also was an effort to persuade California Gov. Jerry Brown to put his signature to \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_1951-2000/ab_1978_bill_20160901_enrolled.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">legislation\u003c/a> aimed at preventing the sexual harassment and violence of janitors at work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"0Cic3vpfrcNg1zWL6nQwC5i9rUjx34q1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday evening, nearly a half-dozen female janitors ended their fourth day of fasting. They were seated on blankets on a shady lawn near the Capitol building when they learned that the governor had signed the bill into state law. They collapsed into a teary group hug and there was a triumphant chant of “Sí, se pudo,” or “Yes, we did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation, which was inspired by our \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/nightshift/\" target=\"_blank\">Rape on the Night Shift\u003c/a> investigation, will create a registry of janitorial firms in California, which worker advocates say makes it easier to hold problematic companies accountable for violations ranging from wage theft to sexual assault. It will also require sexual harassment training for everyone who works at a janitorial company. An advisory group made up of state officials, the janitorial union, advocates and employers will help design the training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California employs the largest number of janitorial workers in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill emerged after the janitorial union, the Service Employees International Union-United Service Workers West, conducted a survey of its members in early 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11069474\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11069474 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/JanitorsProtest-800x567.jpg\" alt=\"Anabella Aguirre (L) shares her story of being sexually assaulted by her supervisor.

Janitors also listed sexual harassment as one of the top three issues that they wanted the union to address. New provisions addressing sexual harassment have since been incorporated into union contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the bill and the union contract negotiations created a path and a purpose for night-shift janitors to come forward on a topic that they had previously guarded in silence. They say that they never spoke about on-the-job sexual violence because of shame, fear of deportation and worries about losing their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martha Mejia has worked for 10 years as a night-shift janitor. At a recent community event in Oakland, she said that she was sexually harassed by her supervisor, who used to hide among the office furniture to watch her as she worked.

They’ve even posted the message on billboards in the San Francisco Bay Area that depict a female cleaner who is being grabbed and silenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These actions were a way of publicizing a problem that immigrant night-shift cleaners say they frequently confront. It also was an effort to persuade California Gov. Jerry Brown to put his signature to \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_1951-2000/ab_1978_bill_20160901_enrolled.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">legislation\u003c/a> aimed at preventing the sexual harassment and violence of janitors at work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday evening, nearly a half-dozen female janitors ended their fourth day of fasting. They were seated on blankets on a shady lawn near the Capitol building when they learned that the governor had signed the bill into state law. They collapsed into a teary group hug and there was a triumphant chant of “Sí, se pudo,” or “Yes, we did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It will also require sexual harassment training for everyone who works at a janitorial company.

Janitors also listed sexual harassment as one of the top three issues that they wanted the union to address. New provisions addressing sexual harassment have since been incorporated into union contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the bill and the union contract negotiations created a path and a purpose for night-shift janitors to come forward on a topic that they had previously guarded in silence. They say that they never spoke about on-the-job sexual violence because of shame, fear of deportation and worries about losing their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martha Mejia has worked for 10 years as a night-shift janitor. At a recent community event in Oakland, she said that she was sexually harassed by her supervisor, who used to hide among the office furniture to watch her as she worked. He also harassed her by asking her to lift up her uniform so he could see her rear end, and he even followed her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a terrible thing that we suffer through and we stay silent out of fear and shame and ignorance that we can get help from the authorities,” she said. “And I think that we have to say, ‘This is enough.’ We can no longer be quiet; we have to speak up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11090862\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11090862\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Billboard-800x246.png\" alt=\"A billboard paid for by SEIU United Service Workers West.\" width=\"800\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Billboard-800x246.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Billboard-400x123.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Billboard.png 873w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A billboard paid for by SEIU United Service Workers West. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of SEIU United Service Workers West)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Maintenance Cooperation Trust Fund, which works with non-unionized janitors, also supported the bill.
