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.",

A visceral video of his death in late May shows Floyd — who was arrested on suspicion of using a counterfeit $20 bill — handcuffed and pinned to the ground as Chauvin kneels on his neck for more than nine minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident and its aftermath launched what some consider a racial reckoning in the U.S., galvanizing scores of companies and institutions to reexamine their positions on racial equity and justice, and prompting multiple state legislatures — including in California — to adopt modest policing reforms. It also spurred activists in cities across the country to demand major local policing reforms — including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823958/defund-the-police-what-it-means-and-how-bay-area-cities-are-responding\">a push to defund\u003c/a> or flat-out abolish police departments, and reallocate much of those budgets to social service and educational agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multiple cities across the Bay Area, including San Francisco and Oakland, have since proposed or adopted plans to cut their police budgets by large chunks and reinvest those funds in community service agencies that advocates say are far better equipped to handle many of the non-violent incidents that often escalate when police are called in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11869761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1209px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11869761\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1209\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25.jpg 1209w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Image-from-iOS-25-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1209px) 100vw, 1209px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexis Rodriguez, a sophomore at Summit Shasta High School in Daly City, holds a sign that says ‘A badge is not a license to kill’ during a vigil and rally outside of Mission High School in San Francisco on April 15, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In September, San Francisco supervisors \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11862094/sf-mayor-breed-unveils-plan-for-reinvesting-120-million-from-police-into-black-communities\">approved Mayor London Breed’s proposal\u003c/a>, as part of this year’s budget, to strip $120 million from the city’s law enforcement agencies over two years and redirect those funds to support the city’s largely underserved Black community.

The firefighting agency said an energized cable on the tower had broken free, swung against the tower and caused an arc — a prolonged electrical discharge. Molten metal fell into the surrounding vegetation and, with winds in the area gusting over 80 mph, the resulting blaze began racing toward the towns of Geyserville and Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wildfire destroyed 174 homes and 200 other structures, burning vineyards and prompting authorities to order 100,000 residents from Geyserville, Windsor and Santa Rosa to leave their homes.

In the following days, Bill Johnson, PG&E’s CEO at the time, said repeatedly that the tower where the problem occurred had been inspected four times in the two years before the fire, and that several maintenance issues found on equipment there had been addressed.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11841815,news_11824596,news_11829285\"]Last year, PG&E declined to comment on Cal Fire’s investigation, saying it didn’t have access to the agency’s report or to the evidence it was based on.

The firefighting agency said an energized cable on the tower had broken free, swung against the tower and caused an arc — a prolonged electrical discharge. Molten metal fell into the surrounding vegetation and, with winds in the area gusting over 80 mph, the resulting blaze began racing toward the towns of Geyserville and Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 2018, it released about 38,400. The state was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/U-S-ruling-State-must-cut-prison-population-3221869.php\">ordered in 2009 to reduce overcrowding\u003c/a> — an issue it’s still dealing with \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/research/wp-content/uploads/sites/174/2021/03/Tpop1d210324.pdf\">today\u003c/a>, so the number of releases is expected to stay high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the housing side, it is well known that California \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11666284/5-reasons-californias-housing-costs-are-so-high\">does not have\u003c/a> enough affordable housing to meet the need, and landlords are often reluctant to rent to people with a criminal record. In addition, parolees often don’t have the option to leave the state to find more affordable housing. For the duration of their parole, most people aren’t allowed to leave the state where they served time. [aside tag=\"prison,incarceration\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities and counties are not making it any easier. In the Bay Area, some cities regulate where parolees can live. For example, in 2018, after considering banning parolees entirely, the East Bay city of Clayton banned two or more people on parole living together everywhere \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/08/25/clayton-bans-homes-for-released-inmates-everywhere-except-for-two-areas/\">except for two areas in the city\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of all these factors, former inmates are almost \u003ca href=\"https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/housing.html\">10 times more likely\u003c/a> to be homeless than the general public, according to the Prison Policy Initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, in most cases, parole agents aren’t required to make sure people are housed. However, they may voluntarily refer some people to long-term housing programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last August, recognizing the stress that the COVID-19 pandemic was putting on the prison system, the state \u003ca href=\"https://chanzuckerberg.com/newsroom/partnership-launched-support-returning-citizens-california-urgently-reduces-prison-populations-covid-19/\">teamed up\u003c/a> with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and other philanthropies to provide $30 million to reentry nonprofits. A spokesperson for CDCR said some of that money went toward providing temporary housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers are looking for a way to address the problem. In January, Bay Area Democratic Assemblymembers David Chiu, Buffy Wicks and Ash Kalra \u003ca href=\"https://a17.asmdc.org/press-releases/20210127-assemblymember-chiu-introduces-bill-shift-state-prison-savings-reentry\">introduced a bill\u003c/a> to fund more reentry housing. They hope that as the state continues to reduce its prison population, those savings could be redirected to expand existing housing programs. The bill is expected to get a hearing this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Augustine said in the meantime she’s seen more and more community groups stepping up to get people in stable housing. One is the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/12/how-homecoming-project-houses-former-prisoners/603373/\">Homecoming Project\u003c/a>, which has been compared to an Airbnb for formerly incarcerated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More commonly, volunteer reentry groups find housing solutions for community members independently.

Bill Dodd, D-Napa, the bill's author, said at a committee hearing in early March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many contractors who claim to be exempt actually have employees, state regulators say. When those workers are injured or killed on the job, that exemption leaves them and their families unprotected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This drives up the cost of workers' compensation insurance for the good actors and puts workers at risk,\" Dodd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those abuses are at the heart of a series of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11780384/employer-in-key-wildfire-gig-economy-trial-from-soberanes-blaze-found-guilty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED stories\u003c/a> on the deaths of bulldozer operators and water tender drivers employed by contractors hired by Cal Fire to help fight wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those cases were the deaths of three heavy equipment operators killed during wildfires in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

It would require all concrete, heating, air conditioning and tree service contractors to buy workers' comp right away. By 2025, all licensed contractors in California would be required to purchase coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill faces no apparent opposition in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee passed the bill in a 14-0 vote after members of nine associations representing contractor groups, unions and lawyers who handle workers' comp cases voiced support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11780384,news_11405049,news_11367902 label='Related Coverage']Daum, the lobbyist with the subcontractors association, said contractors who try to hide the fact they have employees and neglect their responsibility to get workers' comp have an unfair advantage over those who follow the rules: Without paying for insurance, their costs are lower, allowing them to make lower bids on project contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill does not require a set level of workers' comp coverage. Currently, about half of California's construction companies that have the benefit have chosen what are called minimum policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many contractors who have not claimed employees in the past are expected to choose such plans, which range from $500 to $5,000 a year, according to the State Compensation Insurance Fund, one of California's leading providers of the benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost range depends on the industry in which the contractor works, how many people they employ and their claims history, the fund's chief risk officer, Ken Van Laar, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we've seen, failure to carry workers' compensation has had devastating impacts for workers (and their families) who are injured on the job,\" said Veena Dubal, a UC Hastings College of the Law professor specializing in employment law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the bill passes and contractors do not get workers' comp, the state could suspend their license and they could be charged with a misdemeanor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dubal raised concerns that not complying with the potential new rules could lead to criminal prosecution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's really troubling,\" Dubal said. \"Addressing workplace violations through criminal law is a trend that, I'm afraid, will be used to disproportionately impact small business, racial minorities and immigrant contractors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to Dubal's concerns, Natalie Watmore, a CSLB representative, noted that the bill does not change the existing criminal penalties for contractors who lack workers' comp. It just expands the existing regulations to more industries and cuts out exemptions for companies that do not claim employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watmore said the agency does not expect to refer a significant number of cases for criminal enforcement.

They say thousands of companies lie to regulators by telling them they do not employ anyone when they actually do. That allows them to avoid buying insurance that's crucial to helping workers who get injured on the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bill will greatly curb the underground economy,\" Skip Daum, a lobbyist for the the American Subcontractors Association of California, told lawmakers this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, there are more than 230,000 contractors with active licenses in California, according to the agency that regulates the state's construction industry. The Contractors State License Board says more than half of those firms — 53% — say they are exempt from carrying insurance because they have no employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many contractors are falsely making that claim,\" state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, the bill's author, said at a committee hearing in early March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many contractors who claim to be exempt actually have employees, state regulators say. When those workers are injured or killed on the job, that exemption leaves them and their families unprotected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This drives up the cost of workers' compensation insurance for the good actors and puts workers at risk,\" Dodd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many of those involved say there was a lack of such role models when they were growing up, largely because their parents were recently arrived immigrants who were simply trying to survive in a new country, or who lacked the resources and know-how to collectively advocate for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Natalie Louie, another organizer of Sunday’s rally, said one of her goals was to help start conversations around the recent attacks against Asian and Asian American people, “because we know coming from an Asian American background, we don't talk about these things” she said. “We've never had that conversation with our parents. Our parents don't talk about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louie added that in trying to arrange Sunday’s event, organizers initially had trouble finding speakers due to a general reluctance within the AAPI community to speak out.

Many of those involved say there was a lack of such role models when they were growing up, largely because their parents were recently arrived immigrants who were simply trying to survive in a new country, or who lacked the resources and know-how to collectively advocate for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Natalie Louie, another organizer of Sunday’s rally, said one of her goals was to help start conversations around the recent attacks against Asian and Asian American people, “because we know coming from an Asian American background, we don't talk about these things” she said. “We've never had that conversation with our parents. Our parents don't talk about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louie added that in trying to arrange Sunday’s event, organizers initially had trouble finding speakers due to a general reluctance within the AAPI community to speak out. But to help find solutions, Louie stressed, people must first engage in discussions, and be open and willing to be uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anything that you're feeling, it's OK,” she said. But when we begin talking about it and sharing, that's when we can begin to take action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11867056\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11867056\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/DSC4609-800x532.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/DSC4609-800x532.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/DSC4609-1020x678.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/DSC4609-160x106.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/DSC4609-1536x1022.jpeg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/DSC4609.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bay Area families on the San Francisco Peninsula march from Hillsborough to Burlingame on March 28, 2021, in support of the Asian American community, \u003ccite>(Esther Lee/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Among the speakers at the rally was \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Kwon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yul Kwon\u003c/a>, who 14 years ago became the first Asian American winner of the TV show \"Survivor,\" a challenge he said he took on to be a role model for Asian American children and to defy stereotypes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now married to one of the organizers of the rally, Kwon said his 76-year-old mother was accosted by a man at a gas station in Martinez several weeks ago.
