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.",

And the complexities around our voting system, number one, that's something that I don't think any person, frankly, in the United States, even with deep expertise, can understand in one snip. But also, I having wrote a book last year about the Constitution and understanding the fragility of our system of government and how so much of it actually hinges on having a functioning electoral system, I felt it was imperative to give people a one-stop shopping place to go to get all the basics about voting so that that knowledge can be in everyone's walking around vocabulary and we can start working from foundational principles — and not so much divisive concepts that I think flood the airwaves and flood so much of our conversations in private and public life right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the most common misconceptions Americans have about voting\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, a question I get a lot is about illegal voting. Voter fraud. I think there is a misconception that that is\" the \"serious problem in our electoral process. And unfortunately, that becomes really politicized — that if you are not concerned about voter fraud, somehow you're, you know, a liberal left wing person and not taking this seriously. There just isn't empirically a lot of evidence of that. Of course, it's really important to have safe and secure elections. But on the other end of the spectrum, the biggest problem really is participation. Not only are there barriers to entry — it can be difficult to not just get yourself registered, but to stay registered for people who don't have a driver's license for example — but also, there's just a lot of belief, widespread belief that votes don't matter, that it's OK to stay home from the polls because the system is rigged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot of cynicism. And I think that's extremely corrosive to democracy because it really is, at the end of the day — we've seen so many of the guardrails of democracy fall, particularly with this presidential administration — at the end of the day, it's what protects us from tyranny. And the framers understood that. But if we don't go to the polls to protect democracy itself, it could fail. And I believe that's what's on the ballot in November. Regardless of where you are in the political spectrum, if you like a functioning democracy, get out and actually cast a ballot even if you've never done it before — and save that system for our children and grandchildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On actions some states have taken that make it more difficult for some segments of the population to vote\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So originally, the only people who could vote under the Constitution were wealthy white males. And so we are in an opt-in system. You have to show that you're eligible to vote. Other democracies, it's opt out. You're automatically in — and you have to decide to get out. So the history of the United States has been opening the voting tent to more and more people, people that were formerly enslaved males and then eventually women and other people. But we still have this undercurrent of even if there's a right to vote, only the right people should vote. And of course, it culminated in the Voting Rights Act in the 1960s where African Americans, even though they had the legal right to vote, were being disenfranchised by poll taxes, literacy tests, basically making it hard to vote based on subjective, silly criteria. And what we're seeing now of a voter suppression efforts are closing polling stations, you know, having insufficient resources at the polls on Election Day. Now, some of that is legitimate. Just not enough money, not enough people on the ground that can actually execute these complex electoral systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's also a function, I think, of politics. We saw this with the Georgia governor's race in our country. The secretaries of state in each state, for the most part, manage elections. And for that particular election, the secretary of state, Brian Kemp, was also running for the governorship. So he had control over the rules for getting to the polls, staying on the rolls, how many polls are open, where the polls are open, what the hours are, how to count the ballots. You know, it's pretty easy to tweak things around the edges to benefit one party over the other. And in that instance, Stacey Abrams lost by approximately 50,000 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And under Mr. Kemp, there was a system where if your signature didn't match other government documents, you were put on hold. And you'd show up at the polls. Some people showed up the polls and they weren't registered because they were taken off the rolls based on that technicality. And about 50,000 people were put on hold — and, of course, that was about his margin of victory. So this kind of changing the rules of the system state by state in ways that do have a disparate impact on certain people is what's known as voter suppression. And my belief is everyone who's eligible — it shouldn't be hard. It should be really, really easy. And the fight should be around serious policy issues, not whether the right people should be able to exercise their right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On voting by mail\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not something that has been a concern by these states that vote almost exclusively by mail and actually the residents of those states really like it. It's very convenient, even in the age without a massive pandemic. It also increases voter participation on both sides of the political spectrum. It benefits Democrats and it also benefits Republicans. And I think in light of the absence of evidence backing up the president's claim, what you have to ask, is this president trying to win the election by keeping people home, not by actually giving people a reason to vote for him, and that keeping people home is a tactic that even we know the Russians used in 2016 and continue to use to this day, as does Iran and China, other countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of telling people your vote doesn't matter. Planting false information to make people cynical about voting. That is a way to corrode our democracy. And it's something that affects and hurts people across the political spectrum. No one, I think, wants a system whereby the politicians tell us what to do. I mean, it's government by we the people, and the way we maintain our position of authority over our elected leaders is at the ballot box. So the president is just wrong about that. And we need to move on. That's not the battleground right now around voting. The battleground is to make it safe for people to exercise their legal and constitutional right to decide for themselves what kind of leadership we have in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On her book being a one-stop shop for answers around voting\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you get online, you'll find many, many organizations and Web sites that work very, very hard to inform voters about voting to help people with registration. You click on, you can register. But what I found there wasn't one place, a handbook that you could have on your shelf in your home that had not only information about how to register and how to vote ... but also basic civics, basic background information about the constitutional right to vote, which actually isn't in the original Constitution, although the Supreme Court has recognized it. And just voter education about what does it mean that the vote is being suppressed? Is voter fraud real? What does it mean to have foreign interference in our election? What is dark money? What is a PAC? What is a super PAC?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found in writing this book with the help of multiple research assistance, law students, that there is not one place where all of this is not only in in one place that's kind of neutral, but also written in a way that makes sense. And that's frankly where my real passion lies as a law professor and lawyer is translating some of this really complex, overlapping stuff into soundbites, tangible, concrete, digestible information that makes sense to people. So then people can make their own decisions about how to participate in their democracy. No one likes to be told what to do. The book is about how to think about these things so people can make their own decisions. And I do think that's a different way of teaching. It's not content based. It's how-to based. And I'm not so sure that's been packaged this way around voting or the Constitution up until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

And you'd show up at the polls. Some people showed up the polls and they weren't registered because they were taken off the rolls based on that technicality. And about 50,000 people were put on hold — and, of course, that was about his margin of victory. So this kind of changing the rules of the system state by state in ways that do have a disparate impact on certain people is what's known as voter suppression. And my belief is everyone who's eligible — it shouldn't be hard. It should be really, really easy. And the fight should be around serious policy issues, not whether the right people should be able to exercise their right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On voting by mail\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not something that has been a concern by these states that vote almost exclusively by mail and actually the residents of those states really like it. It's very convenient, even in the age without a massive pandemic. It also increases voter participation on both sides of the political spectrum. It benefits Democrats and it also benefits Republicans. And I think in light of the absence of evidence backing up the president's claim, what you have to ask, is this president trying to win the election by keeping people home, not by actually giving people a reason to vote for him, and that keeping people home is a tactic that even we know the Russians used in 2016 and continue to use to this day, as does Iran and China, other countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of telling people your vote doesn't matter. Planting false information to make people cynical about voting. That is a way to corrode our democracy. And it's something that affects and hurts people across the political spectrum. No one, I think, wants a system whereby the politicians tell us what to do. I mean, it's government by we the people, and the way we maintain our position of authority over our elected leaders is at the ballot box. So the president is just wrong about that. And we need to move on. That's not the battleground right now around voting. The battleground is to make it safe for people to exercise their legal and constitutional right to decide for themselves what kind of leadership we have in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On her book being a one-stop shop for answers around voting\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you get online, you'll find many, many organizations and Web sites that work very, very hard to inform voters about voting to help people with registration. You click on, you can register. But what I found there wasn't one place, a handbook that you could have on your shelf in your home that had not only information about how to register and how to vote ... but also basic civics, basic background information about the constitutional right to vote, which actually isn't in the original Constitution, although the Supreme Court has recognized it. And just voter education about what does it mean that the vote is being suppressed? Is voter fraud real? What does it mean to have foreign interference in our election? What is dark money? What is a PAC? What is a super PAC?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And that's frankly where my real passion lies as a law professor and lawyer is translating some of this really complex, overlapping stuff into soundbites, tangible, concrete, digestible information that makes sense to people. So then people can make their own decisions about how to participate in their democracy. No one likes to be told what to do. The book is about how to think about these things so people can make their own decisions. And I do think that's a different way of teaching. It's not content based. It's how-to based.

One week earlier, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11816707/man-dies-of-covid-19-in-san-diego-ice-detention-center-lawyers-say\">first person died in ICE custody\u003c/a>, at San Diego’s Otay Mesa Detention Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun’s release came the same day that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827142/lawmakers-want-stronger-covid-19-protections-in-california-prisons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state lawmakers questioned CDCR\u003c/a> Secretary Ralph Diaz about the policy. At a hearing of the state Senate Public Safety Committee Wednesday in Sacramento, Sen. Scott Weiner said the transfers risk spreading the virus further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we transfer to ICE, we are sending people who may be medically vulnerable themselves to private prison ICE detention facilities,” Weiner said. Adding that they believe that one in three detainees has COVID-19. “These are COVID hot spots,” he said, “we need to stop transferring people in the custody of our state prisons to ICE detention facilities … immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz replied that state prison officials do not transport inmates to ICE. But he said when immigration authorities place a detainer on an immigrant in prison, CDCR does inform ICE of the release date, just as officials do with any other law enforcement agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If an individual has served their term … and there is a hold or a warrant by ICE as a pickup, they’re picked up by ICE, just like any other law enforcement agency who may have a hold on an individual to take into their custody for their reasons,” he said, adding that if there’s a hold, they will continue to enforce it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office did not return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland-based immigration law clinic \u003ca href=\"https://www.centrolegal.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Centro Legal de la Raza\u003c/a> found that more than a third of the 159 immigrants in ICE custody in Northern California who were assisted by legal aid groups between March 1 and May 23 had been transferred to ICE from California prisons. And Prasad said roughly 10% of all state prison inmates are subject to an ICE detainer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun was originally sentenced to 49 years for his part in an armed robbery, in which no one was hurt, Prasad said. A 2015 law allows inmates who had committed crimes in their youth and served at least 15 years to apply for early parole. In February, after a lengthy process to prove he had turned his life around, Gov. Newsom granted Bun parole, Prasad said. [aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanging over Bun’s release, however, was the threat that he could be locked up in an ICE facility and eventually deported. Bun said he spent his final days at San Quentin readying himself for that possibility and the risk of catching COVID-19 in ICE detention —not realizing he was already infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I scrounged up extra masks that I could find in there, extra cleaner and sanitizer. I had a whole care package for myself with my medications and stuff,” Bun said. “I was ready to somehow battle COVID in ICE because I knew that once I got to ICE, either I protect myself or get sick in there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He paused, then added, “I was actually contemplating writing a last letter to my family … letting them know I’m proud of them and I got to see them grow. Leaving them with words of joy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that he’s free, he won’t have to write that letter.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom’s office intervened on Bun’s behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re incredibly grateful that he is home and able to receive medical care in a safe environment,” Prasad said. “He’s immunocompromised, with a rare blood disorder, and may not have survived ICE custody — and may have also possibly infected other people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it is the policy of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to cooperate with ICE, it’s not required by state or federal law, Prasad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates have long been pressing CDCR and the governor to halt the policy, particularly in light of California’s sanctuary law. Those calls have become more urgent in recent months as the coronavirus began \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823564/as-covid-19-surges-through-prisons-guards-and-inmates-sue\">raging through both the state prison system and ICE detention centers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, the ACLU sued California officials to stop transferring immigrants to ICE during the pandemic, but on May 13, the California Supreme Court ruled 6-1 that the transfers could continue. One week earlier, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11816707/man-dies-of-covid-19-in-san-diego-ice-detention-center-lawyers-say\">first person died in ICE custody\u003c/a>, at San Diego’s Otay Mesa Detention Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun’s release came the same day that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11827142/lawmakers-want-stronger-covid-19-protections-in-california-prisons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state lawmakers questioned CDCR\u003c/a> Secretary Ralph Diaz about the policy. At a hearing of the state Senate Public Safety Committee Wednesday in Sacramento, Sen. Scott Weiner said the transfers risk spreading the virus further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we transfer to ICE, we are sending people who may be medically vulnerable themselves to private prison ICE detention facilities,” Weiner said. Adding that they believe that one in three detainees has COVID-19. “These are COVID hot spots,” he said, “we need to stop transferring people in the custody of our state prisons to ICE detention facilities … immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz replied that state prison officials do not transport inmates to ICE. But he said when immigration authorities place a detainer on an immigrant in prison, CDCR does inform ICE of the release date, just as officials do with any other law enforcement agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If an individual has served their term … and there is a hold or a warrant by ICE as a pickup, they’re picked up by ICE, just like any other law enforcement agency who may have a hold on an individual to take into their custody for their reasons,” he said, adding that if there’s a hold, they will continue to enforce it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office did not return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland-based immigration law clinic \u003ca href=\"https://www.centrolegal.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Centro Legal de la Raza\u003c/a> found that more than a third of the 159 immigrants in ICE custody in Northern California who were assisted by legal aid groups between March 1 and May 23 had been transferred to ICE from California prisons. And Prasad said roughly 10% of all state prison inmates are subject to an ICE detainer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun was originally sentenced to 49 years for his part in an armed robbery, in which no one was hurt, Prasad said. A 2015 law allows inmates who had committed crimes in their youth and served at least 15 years to apply for early parole. In February, after a lengthy process to prove he had turned his life around, Gov. Newsom granted Bun parole, Prasad said. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That lone police van and roughly a half dozen police officers formed a line to try and stop hundreds of marchers from heading up Valencia.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Protesters shouted “quit your job!” and “you’re killing black people.” The officers then tried to leave and inch forward, but could not exit the crowd, which surrounded them. Pride marchers spray painted the van. Officers exited the van again, as demonstrators kicked the van and hit it with their fists. Officers rushed towards them with batons raised and pushed members of the crowd away. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One marcher spray painted an officer in the face with red paint. Eventually, the van exited the crowd to an alleyway. San Francisco Police Department spokespeople said they were “not aware” of any injuries or arrests, but said “we are aware that bottles were thrown at officers who were at Mission Station” and officers were also “assaulted” with “improvised wooden shields.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The march continued towards Market Street. By evening, the protesters reached the Castro and started a dance party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before the incident, speakers at the Pride celebration drew a parallel between the criminalization of being gay and transgender and the recent police violence and protests across the country.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Local activist Norma Gallegos was there and said she feels over the last decade, Pride has been “gentrified, corporatized and commercialized.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Stonewall was the historical movement in New York, where Marsha P. Johnson, the Black trans woman, threw the first rock in the Stonewall Inn,” Gallegos said, “but here in San Francisco, we have Compton’s Cafeteria where it’s also about fighting the police brutality that was happening in the trans community at the time in the late 60s and early 70s.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gallegos said she wants to see systemic change and Pride return to its roots. She said \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pride has historically been anti-capitalist, queer and militant with the issues that have plagued and created barriers for Black, Indigenous, People of Color.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year’s San Francisco Pride march also saw police arresting activists from the transgender community, leading to harsh critique from the community. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sf-police-chief-apologizes-for-historic-abuse-against-transgender-community/\">SFPD Police Chief Bill Scott later publicly apologized\u003c/a> for decades of “past actions” against the transgender community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to listen to you and want to truly hear you,” Scott said, publicly. “We will atone for our past.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniting of Two Cities and Two Prides\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Saturday, the Bay Area community passed a pink torch from Oakland to San Francisco in a first ever joint-city Pride event.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over a dozen people gathered outside Oakland City Hall where mayor Libby Schaaf kicked off the celebration by passing a pink torch to Joe Hawkins, the founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826569\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826569\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-536x402.jpg 536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall. \u003ccite>(Julie Chang/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You are such a leader in our city,” Schaaf told Hawkins, “You create a space of love and joy for our LGBTQI community, our family. And you have been doing that for years, even before you had a physical space, you were creating that space.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hawkins took the torch from Schaaf and addressed the Black Lives Matter movement.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Black people in this country were enslaved for longer than we have been free,” Hawkins said. “And Black LGBTQ lives matter, too. We have, for a very long time, been the targets and in between pillars of hate: homophobia from our own community — of Black people — and racism from white queer people and white heterosexual people. Today, this symbolic uniting of the Bay Area is hopefully a step forward,” he added.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hawkins told KQED that in the past there has been a division between Oakland and San Francisco, but this event would help bring them together at a time when everyone is locked down and sheltering in place. “It brings us all together \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">finally\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, like this has never happened.

The creator of the annual Pink Triangle ritual, Patrick Carney, said the canvas used for the triangle would typically be laid out with the help of hundreds of volunteers, but due to social distancing restrictions amid the pandemic, they wouldn’t be able to do that this year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carney teamed up with Illuminate, the group responsible for the dancing lights on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge known as the Bay Lights, to turn the Triangle into an art installation which features 2,700 hot pink LED lights and covers nearly an acre of ground.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Triangle will stay illuminated until July 10.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pink triangle was used as a symbol of hate during the Holocaust when gay men were forced to wear it on their chest as an identifier, but organizers say it has been embraced by the gay community as a symbol of empowerment and pride.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Vandalism\u003c/b> \u003cb>strikes Pride\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just hours before the torch procession took place, Hawkin’s LGBTQ Center was attacked.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826589\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826589\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Oakland-LGBTQ-Center-vandalized-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland LGBTQ Community Center vandalized.

She said \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pride has historically been anti-capitalist, queer and militant with the issues that have plagued and created barriers for Black, Indigenous, People of Color.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year’s San Francisco Pride march also saw police arresting activists from the transgender community, leading to harsh critique from the community. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sf-police-chief-apologizes-for-historic-abuse-against-transgender-community/\">SFPD Police Chief Bill Scott later publicly apologized\u003c/a> for decades of “past actions” against the transgender community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to listen to you and want to truly hear you,” Scott said, publicly. “We will atone for our past.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniting of Two Cities and Two Prides\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Saturday, the Bay Area community passed a pink torch from Oakland to San Francisco in a first ever joint-city Pride event.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over a dozen people gathered outside Oakland City Hall where mayor Libby Schaaf kicked off the celebration by passing a pink torch to Joe Hawkins, the founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826569\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826569\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-536x402.jpg 536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall. \u003ccite>(Julie Chang/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You are such a leader in our city,” Schaaf told Hawkins, “You create a space of love and joy for our LGBTQI community, our family.
