As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

They all wore an unofficial uniform — pants, long-sleeved shirts, brimmed hats and bandannas — to protect their skin from the sun, which would soon bake the California desert. “It’s for the good of all of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For three weekends this month, Magaña is giving similar advice to a crew cleaning up trash after the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following eight-hour days in the fields, Magaña and many of her farmworkers change into another uniform — latex gloves and colored T-shirts — and head to the Empire Polo Club in Indio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the last concertgoers stumble out of the festival after midnight, the grounds look like “a garbage dump,” Magaña said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her crew work overnight, filling trash bags with soggy plastic cups, grease-stained plates and other objects left behind by attendees. By the time they finish their shift at 3:30 a.m., the grounds are spotless again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coachella 2017 was the highest-grossing festival in the world, according to the most recent statistics available from Pollstar, a publication focused on the concert industry. Working behind the scenes are area residents who, according to Magaña, earn minimum wage to make sure the grounds are pristine for each day’s festivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11741277\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11741277\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Field-Supervisor-Enriqueta-Magana-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Field supervisor Enriqueta Magaña has worked in the Coachella Valley's grape vineyards for two decades and at the Coachella festival for 10 years.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Field-Supervisor-Enriqueta-Magana-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Field-Supervisor-Enriqueta-Magana-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Field-Supervisor-Enriqueta-Magana-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Field-Supervisor-Enriqueta-Magana-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Field-Supervisor-Enriqueta-Magana.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Field supervisor Enriqueta Magaña has worked in the Coachella Valley’s grape vineyards for two decades and at the Coachella festival for 10 years. \u003ccite>(Omar Ornelas/The Desert Sun)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The festivals coincide with the grape-growing season, so Magaña and her team typically labor all day in the fields, often amid sweltering temperatures, and then all night at the festivals, catching an hour or two of sleep and a cup of coffee in between shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the Coachella Valley, grape growers planted about 1,000 fewer acres in 2017 than they had in 2013, according to the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in grapevines, Magaña said, has resulted in fewer hours of low-wage work in the fields.

Though the original purpose was to bring a flow of water for the area’s farming, the poorly built canals spilled over, creating the Salton Sea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1940s and ’50s, the white sand beaches and blue water of the Salton Sea lured more visitors than Yosemite. It was a playground for Hollywood celebrities through the 1960s, including the Rat Pack and the Beach Boys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_tOnFhSyXo&t=1s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But today, the Salton Sea is only an enticing blue from a distance. Up close, it’s murky. Pesticides from nearby farms have poisoned the water. Fresh water from the Colorado River has been diverted elsewhere, to cities and farms. So this huge lake is drying up, exposing more of the white sand beach that, it turns out, isn’t exactly sand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you get real close to it, it’s bones,” says Mendez. “You can imagine how many fishes were here. And there are bird skulls everywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendez loves to photograph the weird, crumbling remains of beach shacks, abandoned hotels, and docks where celebrities used to park their yachts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737812\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11737812 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36320_1.-Bryan-and-Olivia-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36320_1.-Bryan-and-Olivia-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36320_1.-Bryan-and-Olivia-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36320_1.-Bryan-and-Olivia-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36320_1.-Bryan-and-Olivia-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36320_1.-Bryan-and-Olivia-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Filmmakers Mendez and Rodriguez at The Salton Sea. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Bryan Mendez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mendez and Rodriguez both say that despite the decay, they find beauty here, watching the clouds reflect on the water, looking out at the mountains in the distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always feel at home whenever I’m standing next to the Salton Sea,” says Rodriguez. “I feel this calm, but also, as I look at it, a sense of urgency, like it needs to be taken care of as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodriguez worries that strong winds blowing off the sea bring toxic dust from the dried-up seabed to nearby farmworker communities.

It was a culture shock to live in a city where her dorm cost far more than many of her farmworker neighbors earned in a year.
