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 while not every member of his group agrees with all of Coulter's positions, he added, she is someone who \"should be listened to\" given the current national political context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/berkeleyantifa/status/1196168559539310592?s=21\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coulter was initially scheduled to speak on campus in April 2017, but later \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11427970/reports-controversial-coulter-speech-at-uc-berkeley-cancelled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">abruptly cancelled her appearance\u003c/a> after school administrators called off the event, citing safety concerns, and then offered an alternative date the following month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"ann-coulter\"]\"It’s sickening when a radical thuggish institution like Berkeley can so easily snuff out the cherished American right to free speech,\" Coulter said afterwards on Twitter. \"I’m very sad about Berkeley's cancellation (sic), but my sadness is greater than that. It is a dark day for free speech in America.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, university police said they had received specific, credible threats related to Coulter's planned appearance. The cancellation of the event came after a series of violent clashes between far-right and far-left protesters, including a riot on campus before a scheduled Feb. 1 talk by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university said it spent roughly $800,000 on security in preparation for the Coulter event, even though it never actually happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Berkeley College Republicans, along with the Tennessee-based Young America's Foundation, a conservative group, later \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-california-lawsuit-ucberkeley/uc-berkeley-settles-lawsuit-over-treatment-of-conservative-speakers-idUSKBN1O22K4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed suit against UC Berkeley\u003c/a> in federal court in San Francisco, accusing the school of violating the First Amendment by discriminating against speakers with conservative views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Dec. 2018 settlement with both groups, Cal agreed to modify its procedures for handling \"major events\" and to no longer charge \"security\" fees for certain activities, including lectures and speeches. The university also paid $70,000 to cover the groups' legal costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We just hope that Ms. Coulter is able to speak, unlike what happened two years ago,\" Reddy said. He said the Berkeley College Republicans worked closely with campus police and Cal Performances in preparation for this event. All attendees will be required to pass through metal detectors and will only be allowed to take certain items inside, he said. Police also plan to set up barricades outside the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe these policies will help the event go smoother than some others in the past,” Reddy added, noting that his group has already received some threats. \"A disruption would be very unfavorable to our interests.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of leftist groups, comprised of both students and off-campus activists, remain hell-bent on shutting the event down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're calling on people from all around the Bay Area to come to Berkeley tomorrow to shut down Ann Coulter and the College Republicans speaking event,\" said Hoku Jeffrey, an organizer for the group By Any Means Necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Coulter event is simply an invitation for white supremacist violence to happen on the Berkeley campus and in the surrounding community, and we don't we don't accept that at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/berkeleycrs/status/1195147703094665216?s=21\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school is much better prepared to accommodate controversial events like this than it used to be, said UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof, noting that more than 15 high-profile conservative speakers have come to campus over the last two years, without major disruption or incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's largely because student organizations are now following to the letter and the spirit of the campus event policy,\" including extensive security assessments before each event, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have two priorities, two commitments, and we have an unwavering commitment to both,\" he added. “One is to support the First Amendment rights of our students regardless of their perspectives. And two is to provide for the safety and security of the members of the campus community, our guests and the public at large.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the administration is not taking anything for granted, Mogulof added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not complacent. You know, we do believe that we have the necessary preparations in place. But you never know. And so, we'll see what happens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mogulof declined to comment on how much UC Berkeley planned to spend on security for the Coulter event, or on how many officers would be deployed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Peter Jon Shuler contributed reporting to this article.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

On Thursday, campus police Captain Alex Yao said they’d received specific, credible threats related to the talk and were concerned about safety after a series of violent clashes this year on campus and in downtown Berkeley between far-right and far-left protesters -- including a riot at Cal before a scheduled Feb. 1 talk by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, which ended up being canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university then backtracked and offered an alternate date of May 2 to Coulter and the groups \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/20/524830514/ann-coulter-vows-to-speak-at-uc-berkeley-despite-planned-speech-cancellation\">collaborating on the event\u003c/a> -- the Berkeley College Republicans, Young America’s Foundation (which describes itself as the principal outreach organization of the Conservative Movement) and \u003ca href=\"https://www.bridgeusa.org/\">BridgeUSA\u003c/a> (a nonprofit group that says it wants to provide “open and welcoming forum for frank and rational political discourse” on college campuses).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coulter and the College Republicans rejected the date change, noting, among other things, that it would be during the week before final exams when students would not be in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley College Republicans President Troy Worden \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KQEDnews/videos/1431448356929557/\">said Wednesday during a press conference\u003c/a> that his group had decided to back out of sponsoring the speech. He blamed the university, saying it refused to provide adequate security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can't have Ms. Coulter speak here without being able to guarantee the safety of the attendees, then that is a move we cannot take,” Worden said. “In effect, our free speech has been stifled because the university has decided not to assist us in making sure the event can occur successfully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late Tuesday, Young America’s Foundation also said the university hadn’t met its demands to ensure the safety of students and those involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Berkeley made it impossible to hold a lecture due to the lack of assurances for protections from foreseeable violence from unrestrained leftist agitators,\" YAF said in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.yaf.org/news/statement-young-americas-foundations-april-27-lecture-uc-berkeley/\">statement\u003c/a> posted to its Facebook page. \"Ms. Coulter may still choose to speak in some form on campus, but Young America’s Foundation will not jeopardize the safety of its staff or students.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University officials, however, said they’d done their best to accommodate the talk, noting that they'd only found out in late March about it. Venues are normally booked months in advance for guest speakers, said UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We wanted Ms. Coulter to come to this campus. We believe it is important that our students are exposed to a broad diversity of opinion,” he said at a press conference. \"Everything we have done to date has been about supporting and facilitating\" the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He rejected assertions that administration officials weren’t being helpful because of Coulter’s politics: \"This is the home of the Free Speech Movement. That legacy would be destroyed if we were to pick and choose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the cancellation, Yao said campus police were still preparing for potential protests on Thursday, including what he described as “riot-like” scenarios. He said there would be an increased presence of law enforcement on campus to ensure safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going ahead, though, will be a federal lawsuit filed by the Berkeley College Republicans against the university, saying it was discriminating against conservative speakers and violating students’ rights to free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their attorney, Harmeet Dhillon, said they wanted to ensure access to free speech and that the university wasn’t applying “unequal rules” to groups or individuals seeking to speak on campus. The lawsuit is \"way beyond one speech or one speaker,\" she added.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>UC Berkeley has canceled Ann Coulter’s planned talk on April 27 because it cannot guarantee the safety of the right-wing commentator or the safety of attendees or those protesting her appearance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott Biddy, the vice chancellor, and Stephen Sutton, the vice chancellor for student affairs, sent an email Tuesday night to the Berkeley College Republicans telling them of the decision. However, they said UC is committed to working with the College Republicans to bring Coulter to speak in September when arrangements can be made for her to speak in an appropriate venue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns about what would happen at Coulter’s talk escalated after right-wing and left-wing activists converged on Berkeley on April 15 and battled in the streets. Pro-Trump supporters, white supremacists and pro-gun activists clashed with Antifa demonstrators who came to shut them down. The Antifa initiated the violence, spraying pepper spray and throwing projectiles, according to a memo by Police Chief Andrew Greenwood. However, those on the opposite side fought back with fists and sticks and other methods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Did UCPD’s concerns grow in the wake of what happened Saturday?” said Dan Mogulof, a university spokesman. “Absolutely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That concern was augmented when UC police learned that “some of the groups that appear to be responsible for the violence over the past weekend, as well as in and around the campus on the night of Feb. 1, planned to target the appearance of Ann Coulter on campus. Last week posters threatening disruption of the event appeared on the walls of campus buildings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus police also found rumblings on Reddit and a bodybuilding website that suggested there would be violence at Coulter’s event,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s going to be a huge farking brawl on the 27th in Berkeley!!!” \u003ca href=\"https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=173905391&pagenumber=\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a 28-year-old male who uses the name Khalil Yousuf on Bodybuilding.com\u003c/a>. “These Antifa clowns are going to be their to take cheap shot at us. Help us cold cock some antifa ***s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went on to write, “We’re organizing a huge crew on reddit. People are flying from all over country for this one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will be the third time a talk by a controversial speaker brought to campus by the College Republicans has been canceled. On Feb. 1, campus officials canceled Milo Yiannapolous’ talk after a contingent of about 100 Antifa protesters, clad in black, their faces covered, descended upon the student center. They hit people with sticks, pulled down barricades and set a portable generator on fire. Then they looted and trashed downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Republicans canceled a scheduled talk by David Horowitz when they found out the only place he could talk was off campus, at the Clark Kerr campus, and in the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mogulof said university officials learned about Coulter’s talk through an article in the newspaper. Student affairs and the police have been meeting with the College Republicans ever since to find a venue that is large and safe enough for Coulter to speak in. Mogulof said there are only six or so venues on campus that meet that criteria and none of them were available April 27.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is confident Cal can find a suitable venue that is available in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to work with them to ensure that a future event with this speaker is held successfully,” said Mogulof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Republicans could not be reached for comment. Mogulof said they believe the university is exercising “unconstitutional prior restraint,” by canceling Coulter’s talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mogulof said “the constitution permits the university to take necessary steps to protect public safety. That’s exactly what we are doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here the email university officials sent to the College Republicans:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dear Naweed and Ross,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We understand that earlier this evening our Dean of Students, Joseph Greenwell, informed your leadership that despite extensive efforts on the part of UCPD and the staff within Student Affairs, we have been unable to find a safe and suitable venue for your planned April 27th event featuring Ann Coulter. We therefore must now work together to reschedule her appearance for a later date. We regret this outcome—especially given our unqualified support for our students’ right to bring speakers of their choosing to the University, and our deep commitment to the values and principles embedded in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Registered Student Organizations like yours are independent from the University, and have the right to invite whoever they’d like to speak here, the campus retains responsibility for ensuring safety and security during such events. This includes the safety and security of invited speakers, of those who attend such events, of our community neighbors, and of those who choose to exercise their own First Amendment rights by lawfully protesting the presence of speakers with whom they disagree. In this context, we greatly appreciate recent public comments by your spokespeople, who have offered full support for increased security measures in and around high-profile events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a general matter, the timing of an event, as well the location and nature of the venue, play an important role when it comes to the safety and security of the speaker, attendees, our community neighbors, as well as individuals engaged in lawful protest. In the wake of events surrounding the planned appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos in February, as well as several riots which have occurred in recent weeks in the City of Berkeley, we have increased our scrutiny regarding the time and location of high-profile speakers so that these events can go forward unimpeded. We base our decisions regarding an event’s timing and location on the objective analysis of the law enforcement professionals of UCPD as to how best to ensure safety for all while maximizing the chances that the event can take place as planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For that reason, when we learned through the newspapers that you had invited Ms. Coulter to speak here on April 27th, we immediately asked UCPD to conduct a comprehensive review of potential sites and security arrangements. Unfortunately, UCPD determined that, given currently active security threats, it is not possible to assure that the event could be held successfully—or that the safety of Ms. Coulter, the event sponsors, audience, and bystanders could be adequately protected—at any of the campus venues available on April 27th. One of the primary lessons learned here is that before a student organization commits to hosting an event on a specific date, we need to first work together to determine if a suitable venue is available at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We realize that this is disappointing news, but the good news is that UCPD and Student Affairs remain firmly committed to working with you to find an alternative time and date for Ms. Coulter to come speak here at Berkeley. We expect most Mondays and Tuesdays in September during the day should work, though we will of course need to work through the details. To make this process a success, we will need at least four weeks notice to collaborate on identifying an appropriate venue, time of day, and security arrangements. We are confident that with sufficient lead-time and continued collaboration we can together do what is necessary to offer the broadest possible range of speakers and events on the Berkeley campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice Chancellor Scott Biddy\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Stephen Sutton\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

However, those on the opposite side fought back with fists and sticks and other methods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Did UCPD’s concerns grow in the wake of what happened Saturday?” said Dan Mogulof, a university spokesman. “Absolutely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That concern was augmented when UC police learned that “some of the groups that appear to be responsible for the violence over the past weekend, as well as in and around the campus on the night of Feb. 1, planned to target the appearance of Ann Coulter on campus. Last week posters threatening disruption of the event appeared on the walls of campus buildings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We therefore must now work together to reschedule her appearance for a later date. We regret this outcome—especially given our unqualified support for our students’ right to bring speakers of their choosing to the University, and our deep commitment to the values and principles embedded in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Registered Student Organizations like yours are independent from the University, and have the right to invite whoever they’d like to speak here, the campus retains responsibility for ensuring safety and security during such events. This includes the safety and security of invited speakers, of those who attend such events, of our community neighbors, and of those who choose to exercise their own First Amendment rights by lawfully protesting the presence of speakers with whom they disagree. In this context, we greatly appreciate recent public comments by your spokespeople, who have offered full support for increased security measures in and around high-profile events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a general matter, the timing of an event, as well the location and nature of the venue, play an important role when it comes to the safety and security of the speaker, attendees, our community neighbors, as well as individuals engaged in lawful protest. In the wake of events surrounding the planned appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos in February, as well as several riots which have occurred in recent weeks in the City of Berkeley, we have increased our scrutiny regarding the time and location of high-profile speakers so that these events can go forward unimpeded. We base our decisions regarding an event’s timing and location on the objective analysis of the law enforcement professionals of UCPD as to how best to ensure safety for all while maximizing the chances that the event can take place as planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For that reason, when we learned through the newspapers that you had invited Ms. Coulter to speak here on April 27th, we immediately asked UCPD to conduct a comprehensive review of potential sites and security arrangements. Unfortunately, UCPD determined that, given currently active security threats, it is not possible to assure that the event could be held successfully—or that the safety of Ms. Coulter, the event sponsors, audience, and bystanders could be adequately protected—at any of the campus venues available on April 27th. One of the primary lessons learned here is that before a student organization commits to hosting an event on a specific date, we need to first work together to determine if a suitable venue is available at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We realize that this is disappointing news, but the good news is that UCPD and Student Affairs remain firmly committed to working with you to find an alternative time and date for Ms. Coulter to come speak here at Berkeley. We expect most Mondays and Tuesdays in September during the day should work, though we will of course need to work through the details. To make this process a success, we will need at least four weeks notice to collaborate on identifying an appropriate venue, time of day, and security arrangements. We are confident that with sufficient lead-time and continued collaboration we can together do what is necessary to offer the broadest possible range of speakers and events on the Berkeley campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice Chancellor Scott Biddy\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Stephen Sutton\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
