I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>The newly minted Biden White House unveiled on Wednesday the contours of an ambitious immigration reform bill that would offer most undocumented people living in the United States a shot at becoming citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This step, and a string of executive actions signed by President Joe Biden just hours after his inauguration, signaled a decisive sea change in American immigration policy that many in California celebrated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We celebrate because it represents the affirmation of our human dignity, as immigrants,” said Angelica Salas, a prominent immigrant advocate who grew up undocumented and saw her mother get deported. “It affirms our need to be able to live in this country free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And we’ve gotten to this day because of our hard work and persistence,” added Salas, who directs the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Geronimo, Coachella Valley farmworker\"]‘I feel grateful that our President Joe Biden is trying to offer us a new reform, so that when we leave home to work, we know we are safe from deportation.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The centerpiece of Biden’s reform plan – the \u003ca href=\"https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22246670/Fact_Sheet__America_s_Citizenship_Act_of_2021.pdf\">U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021\u003c/a> – would allow the country’s estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants who pass background checks and pay taxes to apply for legal status and, after eight years, for U.S. citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that pathway would be much faster – only three years – for young people brought to the U.S. as children, the so-called Dreamers who are enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The faster three-year period would also apply to immigrants with humanitarian protections, known as temporary protected status, and farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel grateful that our President Joe Biden is trying to offer us a new reform, so that when we leave home to work, we know we are safe from deportation,” said Geronimo, a farmworker in the Coachella Valley who declined to give his last name because of his immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican immigrant said he has lived in California for 30 years, and that he hoped the relief would materialize for all undocumented people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is still a country of dreams and opportunity,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new president also used his first day in office to sign a string of executive orders that reversed some of the previous administration’s most controversial and restrictive policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the stroke of a pen, Biden halted the construction of Trump’s border wall, preserved protections for more than 600,000 immigrants brought to the U.S. as children who are enrolled in DACA, and prompted immigration authorities to \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2021/01/20/acting-secretary-dhs-directs-review-immigration-enforcement-practices-and-policies\">halt deportations for 100 days\u003c/a> while they review their enforcement priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other executive orders revoked a Trump administration plan to exclude undocumented immigrants from the 2020 census, and – as promised on the campaign trail – the new president ended Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11847545/huge-relief-california-immigrants-counting-on-biden-to-end-travel-ban\">travel ban\u003c/a> on mostly Muslim-majority and African nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tens of thousands of impacted individuals will now have the opportunity to reunite in the U.S. with family members abroad, said Zahra Billoo, executive director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For millions more, the message that Islamophobic immigration policies will not be tolerated will resonate deeply,” said Billoo in a statement. “While we know our work is far from over … we celebrate the heroic efforts undertaken by so many over the last several years in our effort to repeal the Muslim and African bans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='immigration']With its goal of legalizing the vast majority of undocumented people, Biden’s immigration reform plan is much more ambitious than proposals from recent past administrations, said Deep Gulasekaram, a law professor at Santa Clara University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Looks a lot closer to what the Reagan administration did 34 years ago with the last major amnesty, your last major legalization program that Congress enacted, than it does to some of the more tepid proposals of the last 10 to 15 years,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s plan includes measures to clear the massive backlog of cases in immigration courts, and for family-sponsored visa applications. The bill would also increase funding for improved screening technology at the border, and offer financial assistance to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to tackle the extreme poverty and violence that push asylum seekers to flee to the U.S. in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gulasekaram and others cautioned that Biden’s bill may significantly change during upcoming negotiations, as Democrats need Republican support in the Senate to pass comprehensive immigration reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that one can take this as an initial negotiating position,” he said. “There’s likely going to have to be some compromise here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prominent GOP senators, such as Charles Grassley from Iowa, blasted the plan as a “nonstarter,” as reported by \u003ca href=\"https://www.rollcall.com/2021/01/19/bidens-immigration-bill-faces-difficult-path-in-senate/\">Roll Call\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A mass amnesty with no safeguards and no strings attached is a nonstarter,” Grassley said in a statement. “As we’ve seen before, that approach only encourages further violations of our immigration laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Three voted present, while Maine Rep. Jared Golden cast a ballot for Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Pennsylvania Rep. Conor Lamb voted for New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In remarks, Pelosi told her fellow members that they “begin the new Congress during a time of extraordinary difficulty.” After the last Congress passed a relief package in its waning days, she stressed that lawmakers’ “most urgent priority will continue to be defeating the coronavirus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It gives me great pride,” she said, “to serve as speaker of the most diverse House in American history, with a record-shattering 122 women, 100 years after women won the right to vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A more divided House\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/11/15/934586955/house-democrats-dissect-what-went-wrong-and-how-to-rebound-from-losses\">have a tighter majority after the November election\u003c/a>, which meant there was little room for dissent for Pelosi to be reelected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, a California Democrat, is 80 and has served in Congress for 33 years. She hinted last year that this might be her final term as the leader of the House. She has no clear heir apparent, and her closest deputies, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland and Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, are 81 and 80, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1345857232437727234\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has sought to knit together a caucus divided between relatively moderate suburban members and much more liberal urban ones. Although Democrats have preserved their majority, the speaker and her lieutenants presided over a net loss of seats in the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have groused among themselves about the causes of the losses in 2020. One complaint has been that the party’s failure to repudiate issues said to be perceived by voters as extreme, such as “defund the police,” hurt it with the moderate voters it sought amid the broader presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GOPLeader/status/1345852816624148482\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most liberal members, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, reject the idea that Democrats’ messaging tacked too far left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Managing the tension between the two sides will be a big challenge as Pelosi continues her stewardship of the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The game has changed\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Much of the speaker’s workload will shift, however, from resisting a Republican administration to helping advance the goals of her fellow Democrat, President-elect Joe Biden. Pelosi likely will work every opportunity available to help pass Biden’s agenda, including more coronavirus relief legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the immediate focus in Washington and national politics has shifted to the Senate, control of which is up for grabs depending on the outcome of Tuesday’s runoff elections in Georgia. If Republicans preserve their majority in the upper chamber, they’ll likely prevent Biden and Pelosi from achieving many of their aims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it is seen as a less likely outcome, if Democrats win the Georgia races and give the party a slim majority in the Senate, the whole ballgame will change, and Pelosi will march into her new term as speaker with far greater power.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But once her son turned 18, the child support stopped and she began to run out of options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wasn’t able to afford rent [in Mountain View] anymore, so the only choice I had was to get an RV and find someplace else to live,” Stevens said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stevens suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome. Shortly after buying her RV and dropping her son off at college, she was diagnosed with breast cancer as well. Now she sees many doctors, all of whom are in Mountain View.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homelessness' label='More on Homelessness']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, I would have gladly gone somewhere else, but at this point, I can’t,” she said. “I have longtime friends that support me in many ways. If I ask for a ride to the hospital or to get me groceries, I have a tremendous amount of support here that, if I were to go somewhere else, I would be without.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past two years, she has parked her RV on a cul-de-sac called Continental Circle, along with about 70 other RV dwellers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=32778\">Measure C\u003c/a>, which passed with just 56% of the vote in Mountain View, bans oversized vehicles — defined as any “which exceeds 22 feet in length or 7 feet in width of 7 feet in height” — from parking on streets that are 40 feet or narrower, unless the vehicle is parked for short duration activities like loading and unloading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=33419\">Mountain View officials spent six weeks measuring\u003c/a> the 140 miles of city streets to determine what streets would be subject to the rules of the new ordinance. They found that 110 miles, or 78.6% of streets, could potentially qualify as narrow streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will just drive around and park somewhere every night and then move, I guess,” Stevens said. “I really don’t know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure C was originally an ordinance adopted by the City Council in October 2019. But after several organizations — including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley — sent a letter demanding the ordinance to be suspended and a petition was filed against the ordinance. It was suspended, and RV dwellers were still allowed to park their RVs on city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Trujillo, a staff attorney with the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, signed the original letter opposing the ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This ban on oversized vehicle parking in Mountain View is cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, and that comes from a decision called \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2019/04/01/15-35845.pdf\">\u003cem>Martin v. Boise\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which was decided in 2018,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that because the city of Boise, Idaho, hadn’t provided people with an adequate alternative to sleeping outside, they couldn’t be punished for being homeless. Trujillo feels this same argument can be applied to the RV dwellers in Mountain View.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a majority of voters in Mountain View don’t agree with that argument. Arnold Leon, \u003ca href=\"https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/CA/Santa_Clara/106043/web.264614/#/detail/103\">one of the 18,000 voters\u003c/a> who voted in favor of Measure C, has been a homeowner in the city for 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you truly can afford rent in Mountain View or elsewhere and that is an option, then I think people should consider that option,” Leon said. “Not all of those RV dwellers are really needy, truly needy people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jan Stevens, Mountain View RV dweller \"]‘I will just drive around and park somewhere every night and then move, I guess.

The program offers 70 spaces across Mountain View for people to safely park their vehicles and receive social services and support to find permanent housing. The city plans to expand the program to about 100 spots eventually, but it recently counted more than 300 vehicles currently used as dwellings across Mountain View.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city has to do more, says former Mountain View Mayor Lenny Siegel, who ran for a City Council seat opposing Measure C and lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t expect [the City Council] to try to undo the will of the voters, but I’m expecting them to find places in Mountain View for people who are living in motor homes, who are from Mountain View, to continue to park,” Siegel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county of Santa Clara will certify the election results on Dec. 3 and the Mountain View City Council will discuss implementation plans during a meeting on Dec. 8. In the meantime, some RV dwellers, including Jan Stevens, say they are planning to sue the city over the measure and their resulting displacement out of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

They found that 110 miles, or 78.6% of streets, could potentially qualify as narrow streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will just drive around and park somewhere every night and then move, I guess,” Stevens said. “I really don’t know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure C was originally an ordinance adopted by the City Council in October 2019. But after several organizations — including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley — sent a letter demanding the ordinance to be suspended and a petition was filed against the ordinance. It was suspended, and RV dwellers were still allowed to park their RVs on city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Trujillo, a staff attorney with the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, signed the original letter opposing the ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This ban on oversized vehicle parking in Mountain View is cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, and that comes from a decision called \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2019/04/01/15-35845.pdf\">\u003cem>Martin v.

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump’s refusal to concede defeat in last week’s election has cast a harsh spotlight on the law firm Jones Day, which is representing the Pennsylvania GOP in a fight over mail-in ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unwelcome attention has been fueled in large part by the social media-savvy band of ‘never Trump’ Republicans known as the Lincoln Project. The group launched a campaign against Jones Day this week, and also plans to target some of the firm’s clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the nature of these firms’ on behalf of Donald Trump and his allies, specifically that they know these suits to be frivolous and damaging to our democratic system, folks should be made aware of the people they’re in business with,” Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But UC Hastings Law Professor David Levine said shaming law firms for the clients they represent can be a slippery slope. Unpopular — even notorious — clients have the right to access the nation’s justice system, he said, citing a concept that’s commonly applied to criminal cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the long run, that’s bad for the legal system. That’s bad for much less powerful lawyers,” Levine said. “It’s much less powerful clients that will be hurt down the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, critics of PG&E hope the scrutiny will extend to Jones Day’s involvement in the company’s recent bankruptcy case, in which the firm played a quieter but critical role. When PG&E filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/29/689591066/california-power-provider-pg-e-files-for-bankruptcy-in-wake-of-fire-lawsuits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it cited mounting liabilities\u003c/a> from wildfires caused by its equipment. Jones Day represented Wall Street hedge funds who had amassed significant holdings of PG&E stock in the run-up to the filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The shareholders, in my view, were instrumental in cheating fire victims,” said Tom Tosdal, who represents more than a thousand PG&E fire survivors, one of whom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11808826/fire-survivor-resigns-in-protest-from-pge-bankruptcy-committee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resigned\u003c/a> from a key bankruptcy committee in March so he could speak out against PG&E’s multibillion dollar deal with fire victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones Day’s hedge fund clients used their collective stake \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/three-hedge-funds-win-big-in-pg-es-complex-restructuring-11555438398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">to influence company leadership and board picks \u003c/a>while in court, Jones Day lawyers also \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/This-is-not-a-chess-game-Tension-escalates-14464990.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">downplayed wildfire claims\u003c/a> on their behalf. But even while taking PG&E’s side against fire victims, court filings show some of the shareholders were also buying up claims against the company, notably insurance claims. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In theory, those shareholders would have been at the back of the line — behind fire victims — in the bankruptcy pecking order. Instead, critics charge, they ended up shaping the outcome of the case.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the $11 billion cash settlement between PG&E and insurance claims holders left far less cash in the pot for fire victims. Ultimately, in a deal fire survivors agreed to, PG&E funded a victims trust initially billed as worth $13.5 billion, half in cash and half in PG&E stock. Fluctuations in PG&E stock have left the currently value of the trust at about $2 billion less. [aside label='Related Coverage' tag='pge']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For law firms playing in that world of bankruptcy, that’s how they play: make a deal that pretends that the company will come out healthy.

The group launched a campaign against Jones Day this week, and also plans to target some of the firm’s clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the nature of these firms’ on behalf of Donald Trump and his allies, specifically that they know these suits to be frivolous and damaging to our democratic system, folks should be made aware of the people they’re in business with,” Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But UC Hastings Law Professor David Levine said shaming law firms for the clients they represent can be a slippery slope. Unpopular — even notorious — clients have the right to access the nation’s justice system, he said, citing a concept that’s commonly applied to criminal cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the long run, that’s bad for the legal system. That’s bad for much less powerful lawyers,” Levine said. “It’s much less powerful clients that will be hurt down the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When PG&E filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/29/689591066/california-power-provider-pg-e-files-for-bankruptcy-in-wake-of-fire-lawsuits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it cited mounting liabilities\u003c/a> from wildfires caused by its equipment. Jones Day represented Wall Street hedge funds who had amassed significant holdings of PG&E stock in the run-up to the filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The shareholders, in my view, were instrumental in cheating fire victims,” said Tom Tosdal, who represents more than a thousand PG&E fire survivors, one of whom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11808826/fire-survivor-resigns-in-protest-from-pge-bankruptcy-committee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resigned\u003c/a> from a key bankruptcy committee in March so he could speak out against PG&E’s multibillion dollar deal with fire victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones Day’s hedge fund clients used their collective stake \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/three-hedge-funds-win-big-in-pg-es-complex-restructuring-11555438398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">to influence company leadership and board picks \u003c/a>while in court, Jones Day lawyers also \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/This-is-not-a-chess-game-Tension-escalates-14464990.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">downplayed wildfire claims\u003c/a> on their behalf. But even while taking PG&E’s side against fire victims, court filings show some of the shareholders were also buying up claims against the company, notably insurance claims. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In theory, those shareholders would have been at the back of the line — behind fire victims — in the bankruptcy pecking order. Instead, critics charge, they ended up shaping the outcome of the case.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the $11 billion cash settlement between PG&E and insurance claims holders left far less cash in the pot for fire victims. Ultimately, in a deal fire survivors agreed to, PG&E funded a victims trust initially billed as worth $13.5 billion, half in cash and half in PG&E stock. Fluctuations in PG&E stock have left the currently value of the trust at about $2 billion less. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This year, that requirement was reduced to three days of early voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More broadly, election officials in California disagree over the future need for in-person voting, given voters’ increasing preference for voting by mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berman said he opposes eliminating in-person voting in California, and advocates argue that voting locations are essential for voters who aren’t comfortable with mail-in voting, along with those who require language assistance at the polls. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But under the hybrid system used this fall, counties are “doing two elections in parallel,” said Scott Konopasek, assistant registrar of voters in Contra Costa County. He said voting by mail cost his county nearly twice as much as in-person voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You’re doing an in-person election as if everyone’s going to show up in-person, and then you’re doing a vote-by-mail election as if everyone is going to vote by mail,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, counties could tap the extra funding made available by Congress for pandemic-related election preparations. But as they prepare for 2022, local officials could be forced to reckon with tighter state budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“If you want to keep that [voter turnout] increase then you need to be looking hard and fast at providing the options for counties to successfully implement some version of this process that we just did,” said Joe Holland, registrar of voters in Santa Barbara County.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sure elections are expensive, but how darn important is it?” he added. “What’s a more important government function than securing our democracy?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
