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.",

What if outreach workers run into the same issues Alvarado faced in the spring?

One of the earliest steps in the process is often a hearing with a School Attendance Review Team where families and administrators try to work out a plan to address root causes of truancy. When that's not enough, cases get referred to a district's \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/Page/539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">School Attendance Review Board\u003c/a> for more intensive intervention. In Oakland, Karigaca said, around 200 cases go to the board each year.

That's when cases end up on her desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though truancy can lead to fines, Drenick and experts like Chang say a punitive approach to discipline isn’t necessarily effective. What works best is addressing the underlying family issues that keep kids out of school. That’s what Alameda County’s truancy system is geared toward — offering support with things like transportation, health care and counseling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drenick said she hopes that without the court's intervention, school districts can bring the needed services to bear. And she hopes to continue to play a role. “I hope that we, as DAs, can reimagine how we can support our local school districts to make sure that kids are getting what they need,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a formal truancy process during distance learning, Karigaca said Oakland Unified will still try to follow its general framework, even if it doesn’t have the force of law. Whether the district can successfully do that — by convening families, administrators and social service providers for hearings remotely — remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chang sees silver linings in all of this.

Within about a week, all but two of the 10 people in the household had tested positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income communities of color — especially Latinos — are increasingly bearing the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic in California, where spreading infections among poor service workers living in crowded conditions has highlighted widening racial and economic inequities. These disparities are particularly stark in idyllic Marin, where a surge of new COVID-19 cases concentrated in one crowded neighborhood has helped land the county on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/CountyMonitoringDataStep2.aspx\">state’s pandemic watchlist.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos, who comprise 16% of the county’s population, account for 75% of coronavirus infections — closer to 90% since mid-June, according to Dr. Matt Willis, the public health officer for Marin County. After recording only a handful of coronavirus cases in the early months of the pandemic, the county now has the highest per-capita rate in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is our essential workforce,” said Willis. “This isn’t the result of casual socializing at happy hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Canal, named for the waterway on its northern border that was once San Rafael’s commercial waterfront, is a flat, densely populated district in a Bay Area suburb famous for its wooded hillside hamlets and multimillion-dollar vistas. The Canal’s 2.5 square miles are dotted by auto shops, scruffy palm trees and rows of low-slung apartment buildings occupied by immigrants from countries such as Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador. An influx of young Latinos has nearly tripled the neighborhood’s population since the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like a Hispanic village where everybody knows everybody else,” said Jennifer Tores, 22, a Canal native who works at a discount clothing store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11828620 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/GettyImages-1211223326-1-1020x720.jpg']The laborers of the Canal are both a world away from and intimately connected to well-heeled towns like San Anselmo and Tiburon, where they clean mansions, wax Teslas and steam milk for $6 lattes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of families in the neighborhood earn less than $35,000 a year, in a county where the median income is almost triple that.

Finally, someone at a community organization promised to deliver meals to the family, but all that arrived the next day was some expired ground meat and a few potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Calderon turned to the same informal safety net she’d relied on in the rural village she left at 16 to migrate north. A fellow Guatemalan neighbor went to Costco and brought her ibuprofen for the aches and fever, and diapers and PediaSure for the kids, who are aged 5, 3, and 2 years old. Someone else brought vegetables, milk and beans from a Latin American market. After three hours on the phone, Calderon managed to qualify for $500 in state coronavirus aid for undocumented residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Willis said officials are working with Canal Alliance, a neighborhood group, to provide support to residents who contract the virus — in the form of cash and hotel rooms to isolate the infected.

The county has fiercely preserved its natural beauty and wide-open spaces over the years — often at the cost of public transit and affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2012 \u003ca href=\"http://measureofamerica.org/docs/APOM_Final-SinglePages_12.14.11.pdf\">report on Marin County by the American Human Development Project\u003c/a> showed that fewer than half of adults in the Canal had a high school diploma. It ranked the neighborhood’s nearly 12,000 residents dead-last among the county’s 51 census tracts for community well-being and opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of these disparities, it’s not surprising that people like Calderon are falling through the cracks, said Omar Carrera, Canal Alliance’s CEO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These people were in survival mode before COVID-19,” Carrera said on a recent afternoon, standing before a mural that adorns the group’s headquarters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People had been lining up since 7 a.m. for free coronavirus testing that began at 1 p.m. Health officials are scrambling to keep pace with demand for tests as infections have surged and employers such as gas stations and grocery stores have started requiring workers to be tested regularly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11818312 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/HaywardCoronavirusTesting-1020x664.jpg']An average of 20% of Canal tests are coming back positive. Some days, the positivity rate has been as high as 40%, said Willis. With many of the infected showing few or no symptoms, the virus has raced through this relatively young community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But people around here have to go to work, so life continues mostly as usual in the Canal. Day laborers still gather in the parking lots at dawn; vendors set up at street corners beneath colorful umbrellas to hawk roasted corn or bags of fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conspiracy theories continue to multiply; one circulating in Spanish on social media holds that the virus was a government conspiracy. Another says local testing sites are reusing dirty test swabs to deliberately infect people. The rumors have fed a climate of fear and silence around the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One resident said neighbors painted an “X” on the front door of a friend of her husband’s to warn others he was infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crisalia Calderon and her family have all recovered and since tested negative for COVID-19, but still, “there are neighbors who run away from us,” she said. She waits until late at night to do the laundry in her building, when no one else is around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other day, Calderon decided it was finally time to ask her landlord to come to her apartment to fix a long-festering plumbing problem and some broken burners. But he said he couldn’t come. He was home sick with COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/morning-briefing/\">Subscribe\u003c/a> to KHN's free Morning Briefing.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ssl.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&t=event&ec=Republish&tid=UA-72777370-1&z=1597257004628&cid=640a36bd-3433-4fd0-9e1d-0128c549a9ca&ea=https%3A%2F%2Fcaliforniahealthline.org%2Fnews%2Fin-health-conscious-marin-county-virus-runs-rampant-among-essential-latino-workers%2F&el=In%20Health-Conscious%20Marin%20County%2C%20Virus%20Runs%20Rampant%20Among%20%E2%80%98Essential%E2%80%99%20Latino%20Workers\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Once you file your claim, the department will contact you if they need more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Would I qualify for benefits if my child’s school shuts down and I have to miss work to care for that child who is not ill?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You may be eligible for unemployment benefits. The EDD has said a representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview. For example, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits if your employer has temporarily allowed you to work less than full-time hours due to your child care situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In such cases, you may be eligible for reduced benefits based on the amount of your weekly earnings, as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements. The department will contact you and your employer for information to determine your eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect benefits if my child’s school shuts down and I have to stay home to care for my child if I’m not currently employed or I had to quit work because of my child care needs?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You may be eligible for unemployment benefits. An EDD representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview with you.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Are benefits available if my employer reduces my hours or shuts down operations due to impacts of the coronavirus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>If your employer reduced your hours or shut down operations due to COVID-19, you are encouraged to file a claim. Unemployment provides partial wage replacement to workers who lose their job or have their hours reduced, through no fault of their own. Workers who are temporarily unemployed due to COVID-19 and expected to return to work with their employer within a few weeks are not required to actively seek work each week. However, they must remain able, available and ready to work during their unemployment for each week of benefits claimed and meet all other eligibility criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How much can I collect in benefits with an unemployment insurance claim?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/UI-Calculator.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unemployment insurance calculator\u003c/a> to help estimate your potential weekly benefit amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I still collect unemployment benefits if I am able to work remotely from home?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Working your full normal hours remotely would not qualify you for benefits. However, you could collect some benefits if your usual number of work hours are reduced through no fault of your own. The first $25 or 25% of your wages, whichever is the greater amount, is not counted as wages earned and will not be reduced from your weekly benefit amount. For example, if you earned $100 in a week, the department would not count $25 as wages and would only deduct $75 from your weekly benefit amount. For someone who has a weekly benefit amount of $450, they would be paid a reduced amount of $375.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect disability and unemployment benefits at the same time?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You have the right to apply and file a claim for unemployment and disability benefits at the same time, but you can only collect payments under one benefit program at a time. The EDD encourages people to file a claim under one program based on your circumstances or file under both programs if you are unsure of which program is most appropriate. The department has said they will review the facts and determine eligibility for the appropriate program.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting disability benefits and then transition to an unemployment claim if my workplace operations continue to be impacted with a slowdown or shutdown?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If your employer shuts down operations or reduces hours for workers while you are on your disability claim, you may apply for unemployment benefits at that time. The EDD said they will help determine the start of your unemployment claim as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a disability claim if I become sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you become sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a disability claim, which can provide a higher benefit amount if you’re eligible. A medical certification is required to substantiate your illness. If you are approved for a disability insurance claim, your unemployment claim will be suspended. If you recover but remain unemployed, you may then return to the remainder of your benefits as long as you remain out of work and are otherwise eligible. You will need to reapply to reopen your unemployment claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a Paid Family Leave claim if I have to care for a family member who is sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you have a family member who becomes sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a Paid Family Leave claim which can provide a higher benefit amount. A medical certification is required to prove your family member’s illness. If you are approved for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/How_to_File_a_PFL_Claim_in_SDI_Online.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paid Family Leave\u003c/a> claim, your Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim will be suspended. If you complete your Paid Family Leave claim and remain unemployed, you may then return to the remainder of your unemployment benefits as long as you are out of work and eligible. You will need to reapply to reopen your unemployment claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"federal\">\u003c/a>What Happens Next?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The first big challenge for Californians receiving (or still waiting to receive) unemployment benefits came on July 31 — the end of the last week for the federal $600-per-week supplement.

If you are an independent contractor, you should list yourself as your last employer. If you believe you are misclassified as an independent contractor instead of an employee, you should list the business you contract with as your last employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The employer name, phone number and address.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Type of work performed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dates worked.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Your gross wages and how you were paid (such as hourly or weekly).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you are a gig worker, you should list your gig employer as your last employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch4>Would I qualify for benefits if I choose to stay home from work due to underlying health conditions and concerns about exposure to the virus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You can be eligible for benefits if you choose to stay home. Once you file your claim, the department will contact you if they need more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Would I qualify for benefits if my child’s school shuts down and I have to miss work to care for that child who is not ill?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You may be eligible for unemployment benefits. The EDD has said a representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview. For example, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits if your employer has temporarily allowed you to work less than full-time hours due to your child care situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In such cases, you may be eligible for reduced benefits based on the amount of your weekly earnings, as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements. The department will contact you and your employer for information to determine your eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect benefits if my child’s school shuts down and I have to stay home to care for my child if I’m not currently employed or I had to quit work because of my child care needs?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You may be eligible for unemployment benefits. An EDD representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview with you.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Are benefits available if my employer reduces my hours or shuts down operations due to impacts of the coronavirus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>If your employer reduced your hours or shut down operations due to COVID-19, you are encouraged to file a claim. Unemployment provides partial wage replacement to workers who lose their job or have their hours reduced, through no fault of their own. Workers who are temporarily unemployed due to COVID-19 and expected to return to work with their employer within a few weeks are not required to actively seek work each week. However, they must remain able, available and ready to work during their unemployment for each week of benefits claimed and meet all other eligibility criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How much can I collect in benefits with an unemployment insurance claim?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/UI-Calculator.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unemployment insurance calculator\u003c/a> to help estimate your potential weekly benefit amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I still collect unemployment benefits if I am able to work remotely from home?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Working your full normal hours remotely would not qualify you for benefits. However, you could collect some benefits if your usual number of work hours are reduced through no fault of your own. The first $25 or 25% of your wages, whichever is the greater amount, is not counted as wages earned and will not be reduced from your weekly benefit amount. For example, if you earned $100 in a week, the department would not count $25 as wages and would only deduct $75 from your weekly benefit amount. For someone who has a weekly benefit amount of $450, they would be paid a reduced amount of $375.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect disability and unemployment benefits at the same time?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You have the right to apply and file a claim for unemployment and disability benefits at the same time, but you can only collect payments under one benefit program at a time. The EDD encourages people to file a claim under one program based on your circumstances or file under both programs if you are unsure of which program is most appropriate. The department has said they will review the facts and determine eligibility for the appropriate program.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting disability benefits and then transition to an unemployment claim if my workplace operations continue to be impacted with a slowdown or shutdown?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If your employer shuts down operations or reduces hours for workers while you are on your disability claim, you may apply for unemployment benefits at that time. The EDD said they will help determine the start of your unemployment claim as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a disability claim if I become sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you become sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a disability claim, which can provide a higher benefit amount if you’re eligible. A medical certification is required to substantiate your illness. If you are approved for a disability insurance claim, your unemployment claim will be suspended. If you recover but remain unemployed, you may then return to the remainder of your benefits as long as you remain out of work and are otherwise eligible. You will need to reapply to reopen your unemployment claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a Paid Family Leave claim if I have to care for a family member who is sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you have a family member who becomes sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a Paid Family Leave claim which can provide a higher benefit amount. A medical certification is required to prove your family member’s illness. If you are approved for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/How_to_File_a_PFL_Claim_in_SDI_Online.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paid Family Leave\u003c/a> claim, your Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim will be suspended. If you complete your Paid Family Leave claim and remain unemployed, you may then return to the remainder of your unemployment benefits as long as you are out of work and eligible. You will need to reapply to reopen your unemployment claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Angell often appeared during news conferences about California's response to the pandemic alongside Gov. Gavin Newsom, who had appointed her to the dual roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Decisions were made, and we’re moving forward,” Newsom said of the Sunday night resignation. “No one’s trying to hide that, no one’s trying to mask that.

"content": "\u003cp>Seizing the power of his podium and his pen, President Trump on Saturday bypassed the nation’s lawmakers as he claimed the authority to defer payroll taxes and replace an expired unemployment benefit with a lower amount after negotiations with Congress on a new coronavirus rescue package collapsed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his private country club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump signed executive orders to act where Congress hasn’t. Not only has the pandemic undermined the economy and upended American lives, it has imperiled the president’s November reelection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most crucially, Trump moved to continue paying a supplemental federal unemployment benefit for millions of Americans out of work during the outbreak. However, his order called for up to $400 payments each week, one-third less than the $600 people had been receiving. Congress allowed those higher payments to lapse on Aug. 1, and negotiations to extend them have been mired in partisan gridlock, with the White House and Democrats miles apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic congressional leaders Trump criticized and insulted with nicknames in remarks ahead of signing the orders, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, dismissed Trump’s actions as “meager” in the face of economic and health crises facing Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive orders could face legal challenges questioning the president’s authority to spend taxpayer dollars without the express approval of Congress. Trump largely stayed on the sidelines during the administration’s negotiations with congressional leaders, leaving the talks on his side to chief of staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s embrace of executive actions to sidestep Congress runs in sharp contrast to his criticism of former President Barack Obama’s use of executive orders on a more limited basis. And the president’s step-back from talks with Congress breaks with his self-assured negotiating skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Trump, who has not spoken with Pelosi since last year, sought to play the role of election-year savior, with the $400 weekly assistance, as well as a deferral of payroll tax and federal student loan payments and the continuation of a freeze on some evictions during the crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s $400 a week, and we’re doing it without the Democrats,” Trump said, asking states to cover 25% of the cost. Trump is seeking to set aside $44 billion in previously approved disaster aid to help states maintain supplemental pandemic jobless benefits, but Trump said it would be up to states to determine how much, if any of it, to fund, so the benefits could be smaller still.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1292239478598373382\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many states have been facing budget shortfalls due to the coronavirus pandemic and would have difficulty assuming the new obligation. The previous unemployment benefit was fully funded by Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president had said at his club on Friday night that “if Democrats continue to hold this critical relief hostage I will act under my authority as president to get Americans the relief they need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats had said they would lower their spending demands from $3.4 trillion to $2 trillion but said the White House needed to increase their offer. Republicans have proposed a $1 trillion plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House aides have watched the talks break down with apprehension, fearful that failure to close a deal could further damage an economic recovery already showing signs of slowing down. Friday’s jobs report, though it beat expectations, was smaller than the past two months, in part because a resurgence of the virus has led to states rolling back their reopenings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s team believes the economy needs to stabilize and show signs of growth for him to have any chance at winning reelection. Aides were hoping to frame the expected executive orders as a sign that Trump was taking action in a time of crisis. But it also would reinforce the view that the president, who took office declaring he was a dealmaker, was unable to steer the process to an agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said Saturday the orders “will take care of pretty much this entire situation, as we know it.” But they are far smaller in scope than congressional legislation, and even aides acknowledged they didn’t meet all needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a perfect answer — we’ll be the first ones to say that,” Meadows said Friday as talks broke down. “But it is all that we can do and all the president can do within the confines of his executive power, and we’re going to encourage him to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said the employee portion of the payroll tax would be deferred from Aug. 1 through the end of the year. The move would not directly aid unemployed workers, who do not pay the tax when they are jobless, and employees will need to repay the federal government eventually without an act of Congress, where there is bipartisan opposition on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In essence, the deferral is an interest-free loan that would have to be repaid. Trump said he’ll try to get lawmakers to extend it, and the timing would line up with a post-election lame-duck session in which Congress will try to pass government funding bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I win, I may extend and terminate,” Trump said, repeating a longtime goal but remaining silent on how he’d fund the Medicare and Social Security benefits that the 7% tax on employee income covers. Employers also pay 7.65% of their payrolls into the funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, issued a statement saying he supported Trump “exploring his options to get unemployment benefits and other relief to the people who need them the most.” Like Trump, McConnell accused Democrats of using the coronavirus package negotiations to pursue other goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats said they were not favorably impressed by Trump’s orders. In a joint statement, Pelosi and Schumer said that “these policy announcements provide little real help to families.” They added: “Democrats repeat our call to Republicans to return to the table, meet us halfway and work together to deliver immediate relief to the American people. Lives are being lost, and time is of the essence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Richard E. Neal of Massachusetts, accused Trump of “brazenly circumventing Congress to institute tax policy that destabilizes Social Security.” Also citing a threat to Medicare funding by Trump’s action, Neal said, “This decree is a poorly disguised first step in an effort to fully dismantle these vital programs by executive fiat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon derided the president’s plan for putting off the payroll tax. “This fake tax cut would also be a big shock to workers who thought they were getting a tax cut when it was only a delay,” Wyden said. “These workers would be hit with much bigger payments down the road.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the House and Senate have left Washington, with members sent home on instructions to be ready to return for a vote on an agreement. With no deal in sight, their absence raised the possibility of a prolonged stalemate that stretches well into August and even September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often an impasse in Washington is of little consequence for the public — but not so this time. It would mean more hardship for millions of people who are losing enhanced jobless benefits and further damage for an economy pummeled by the still-raging coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s negotiations at the Capitol added up to only “a disappointing meeting,” said Schumer, D-New York. He said the White House had rejected an offer by Pelosi, D-California, to curb Democratic demands by about $1 trillion. Schumer urged the White House to “negotiate with Democrats and meet us in the middle. Don’t say it’s your way or no way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Capitol Hill session followed a combative meeting Thursday evening that for the first time cast real doubt on the ability of the Trump administration and Democrats to come together on a fifth COVID-19 response bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi declared the talks all but dead until Meadows and Mnuchin give ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The breakdown in the negotiations is particularly distressing for schools, which have been counting on billions of dollars from Washington to help with the costs of reopening. But other priorities are also languishing, including a fresh round of $1,200 direct payments to most people, a cash infusion for the struggling Postal Service and money to help states hold elections in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin said renewal of a $600-per-week pandemic jobless boost and huge demands by Democrats for aid to state and local governments are the key areas where they are stuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have offered to reduce her almost $1 trillion demand for state and local governments considerably, but some of Pelosi’s proposed cost savings would accrue chiefly because she would shorten the timeframe for benefits like food stamps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Schumer continue to insist on a huge aid package to address a surge in cases and deaths, double-digit joblessness and the threat of poverty for millions of the newly unemployed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Republicans have been split, with roughly half of McConnell’s rank and file opposed to another rescue bill at all. Four prior coronavirus response bills totaling almost $3 trillion have won approval on bipartisan votes despite intense wrangling, but conservatives have recoiled at the prospect of another Pelosi-brokered agreement with a whopping deficit-financed cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell has kept his distance from the negotiations while coordinating with Mnuchin and Meadows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Andrew Taylor in Washington contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And the president’s step-back from talks with Congress breaks with his self-assured negotiating skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Trump, who has not spoken with Pelosi since last year, sought to play the role of election-year savior, with the $400 weekly assistance, as well as a deferral of payroll tax and federal student loan payments and the continuation of a freeze on some evictions during the crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s $400 a week, and we’re doing it without the Democrats,” Trump said, asking states to cover 25% of the cost. Trump is seeking to set aside $44 billion in previously approved disaster aid to help states maintain supplemental pandemic jobless benefits, but Trump said it would be up to states to determine how much, if any of it, to fund, so the benefits could be smaller still.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The previous unemployment benefit was fully funded by Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president had said at his club on Friday night that “if Democrats continue to hold this critical relief hostage I will act under my authority as president to get Americans the relief they need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats had said they would lower their spending demands from $3.4 trillion to $2 trillion but said the White House needed to increase their offer. Republicans have proposed a $1 trillion plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House aides have watched the talks break down with apprehension, fearful that failure to close a deal could further damage an economic recovery already showing signs of slowing down. Friday’s jobs report, though it beat expectations, was smaller than the past two months, in part because a resurgence of the virus has led to states rolling back their reopenings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s team believes the economy needs to stabilize and show signs of growth for him to have any chance at winning reelection. Aides were hoping to frame the expected executive orders as a sign that Trump was taking action in a time of crisis. But it also would reinforce the view that the president, who took office declaring he was a dealmaker, was unable to steer the process to an agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said Saturday the orders “will take care of pretty much this entire situation, as we know it.” But they are far smaller in scope than congressional legislation, and even aides acknowledged they didn’t meet all needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a perfect answer — we’ll be the first ones to say that,” Meadows said Friday as talks broke down. “But it is all that we can do and all the president can do within the confines of his executive power, and we’re going to encourage him to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said the employee portion of the payroll tax would be deferred from Aug. 1 through the end of the year. The move would not directly aid unemployed workers, who do not pay the tax when they are jobless, and employees will need to repay the federal government eventually without an act of Congress, where there is bipartisan opposition on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In essence, the deferral is an interest-free loan that would have to be repaid. Trump said he’ll try to get lawmakers to extend it, and the timing would line up with a post-election lame-duck session in which Congress will try to pass government funding bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I win, I may extend and terminate,” Trump said, repeating a longtime goal but remaining silent on how he’d fund the Medicare and Social Security benefits that the 7% tax on employee income covers. Employers also pay 7.65% of their payrolls into the funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, issued a statement saying he supported Trump “exploring his options to get unemployment benefits and other relief to the people who need them the most.” Like Trump, McConnell accused Democrats of using the coronavirus package negotiations to pursue other goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats said they were not favorably impressed by Trump’s orders. In a joint statement, Pelosi and Schumer said that “these policy announcements provide little real help to families.” They added: “Democrats repeat our call to Republicans to return to the table, meet us halfway and work together to deliver immediate relief to the American people. Lives are being lost, and time is of the essence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Richard E. Neal of Massachusetts, accused Trump of “brazenly circumventing Congress to institute tax policy that destabilizes Social Security.” Also citing a threat to Medicare funding by Trump’s action, Neal said, “This decree is a poorly disguised first step in an effort to fully dismantle these vital programs by executive fiat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon derided the president’s plan for putting off the payroll tax. “This fake tax cut would also be a big shock to workers who thought they were getting a tax cut when it was only a delay,” Wyden said. “These workers would be hit with much bigger payments down the road.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the House and Senate have left Washington, with members sent home on instructions to be ready to return for a vote on an agreement. With no deal in sight, their absence raised the possibility of a prolonged stalemate that stretches well into August and even September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often an impasse in Washington is of little consequence for the public — but not so this time. It would mean more hardship for millions of people who are losing enhanced jobless benefits and further damage for an economy pummeled by the still-raging coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s negotiations at the Capitol added up to only “a disappointing meeting,” said Schumer, D-New York. He said the White House had rejected an offer by Pelosi, D-California, to curb Democratic demands by about $1 trillion. Schumer urged the White House to “negotiate with Democrats and meet us in the middle. Don’t say it’s your way or no way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Capitol Hill session followed a combative meeting Thursday evening that for the first time cast real doubt on the ability of the Trump administration and Democrats to come together on a fifth COVID-19 response bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi declared the talks all but dead until Meadows and Mnuchin give ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The breakdown in the negotiations is particularly distressing for schools, which have been counting on billions of dollars from Washington to help with the costs of reopening. But other priorities are also languishing, including a fresh round of $1,200 direct payments to most people, a cash infusion for the struggling Postal Service and money to help states hold elections in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin said renewal of a $600-per-week pandemic jobless boost and huge demands by Democrats for aid to state and local governments are the key areas where they are stuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have offered to reduce her almost $1 trillion demand for state and local governments considerably, but some of Pelosi’s proposed cost savings would accrue chiefly because she would shorten the timeframe for benefits like food stamps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Schumer continue to insist on a huge aid package to address a surge in cases and deaths, double-digit joblessness and the threat of poverty for millions of the newly unemployed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Republicans have been split, with roughly half of McConnell’s rank and file opposed to another rescue bill at all. Four prior coronavirus response bills totaling almost $3 trillion have won approval on bipartisan votes despite intense wrangling, but conservatives have recoiled at the prospect of another Pelosi-brokered agreement with a whopping deficit-financed cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell has kept his distance from the negotiations while coordinating with Mnuchin and Meadows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>After about a month of organizing, student athletes in the Pac-12 conference created the #WeAreUnited movement, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/pac-12-players-covid-19-statement-football-season\">issued a list of demands\u003c/a> last Sunday related to health and safety, racial injustice and players’ economic rights. Unhappy with how their universities have handled those issues, they’re threatening to opt out of the upcoming season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Athletes representing #WeAreUnited met with officials from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office on Tuesday, and with Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott in a late-evening call Thursday. Both meetings focused on players’ concerns with schools’ health and safety protocols around COVID-19, concerns outlined in one of their top demands: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Because we are being asked to play college sports in a pandemic in a system without enforced health and safety standards, and without transparency about COVID cases on our teams, the risks to ourselves, our families, and our communities, #WeAreUnited.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The group’s list of demands also includes a section on “preserving all existing sports by eliminating excessive expenditures” – a section which specifically calls out Stanford University. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“End lavish facility expenditures and use some endowment funds to preserve all sports,” the statement reads. “As an example, Stanford University should reinstate all sports discontinued by tapping into their $27.7 billion endowment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, Stanford University – a Pac-12 institution – \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/2020/07/08/athletics/#:~:text=Stanford%20will%20discontinue%2011%20of,swimming%2C%20men's%20volleyball%20and%20wrestling.\">announced its decision\u003c/a> to eliminate 11 varsity sports teams at the end of the 2020-21 academic year, citing major financial concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As you can imagine this has been a heartbreaking day for all of us, especially with those student athletes and coaches involved,” Stanford Athletic Director Bernard Muir said \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/14a9b95d892dfde558900c8a11f429b3\">when announcing the cuts\u003c/a>. “It recently became painfully clear we would not remain financially stable and support 36 varsity sports at a nationally competitive level, which is what we desire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jaylen Jasper\"]‘To hear that I’m not going to be able to play at the school that I’ve come to love so much was a shock. It was heartbreaking, confusing.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comprising more than 240 student athletes and 22 coaches, the 11 teams on the chopping block were men’s and women’s fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, men’s rowing, co-ed and women’s sailing, squash, synchronized swimming, wrestling and men’s volleyball (but not women’s volleyball). The university also plans to cut 20 support staff positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each of the teams are scheduled to have one final season of varsity competition in 2020-21, after which they can become club sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Jaylen Jasper, a diehard member of the Stanford men’s volleyball team, that’s cold comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His team’s previous season had already come to a screeching halt in early March when the university canceled in-person classes and sports due to the pandemic. To then learn that the university planned to eliminate the sport altogether, was nothing short of devastating, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Volleyball has been my whole life since I started playing end of my freshman, beginning of sophomore year of high school,” Jasper said from his hometown of Annapolis, Maryland, where he is spending the summer training, coaching youth leagues and organizing to save his team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11831631\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1242px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_1167.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11831631\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_1167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1242\" height=\"1229\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_1167.jpg 1242w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_1167-800x792.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_1167-1020x1009.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_1167-160x158.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1242px) 100vw, 1242px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stanford volleyball player Jaylen Jasper prepares to serve in a 2019 game against University of Southern California. \u003ccite>(Rob Ericson/Stanford)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Jasper, 21, will be one of the team’s captains next season — if there is a next season. And until the announcement, he had planned to repeat his junior year so he could have two more full seasons of volleyball and complete a double major in psychology and political science. But faced with the prospect of having no team to play on, he’s reconsidering those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To hear that I’m not going to be able to play at the school that I’ve come to love so much was a shock,” he said. “It was heartbreaking, confusing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a formidable \u003ca href=\"https://gostanford.com/sports/mens-volleyball/roster/jaylen-jasper/16575\">6-foot-7\u003c/a>, Jasper plays the opposite hitter position, attacking the ball with an intimidating ferocity. One of the conference’s standout players, with hopes of playing professionally after college, he’s been an all-American honorable mention three years in a row, played on the youth and junior national teams, gone to the World University Games and made the collegiate national team roster, to name just a handful of distinctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jasper is also one of the few people of color on his team — and the only one who identifies as African American — in a sport not widely known for its racial diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jaylen Jasper\"]‘[Volleyball] is a community that is so accepting … that diversity can thrive. We’re just building on it every day and we pride ourselves on it. So it was painful to hear that (Stanford officials) don’t see it how we see it.’[/pullquote]“I’m half Black, quarter white, quarter Mexican. Tri-racial,” he said. “I mean, in all honesty, when I look at Division 1 men’s volleyball, it’s not the most diverse sport in the world. There are plenty of teams that I can pick out just the one or two Black kids they have. And honestly, a lot of them are also number 23. I’m not sure if that’s a trend or what’s going on. But a lot of Black volleyball players wear number 23, and that’s kind of interesting to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That lack of diversity in men’s volleyball, Jasper said, was no doubt a major factor in the university’s decision to cut the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They gave us a whole list of reasons why … But one of the reasons, or some of the reasons were, you know, diversity, that the teams that were cut weren’t the most diverse. They were (also) saying that we were having financial hardships from COVID-19 and the teams that were cut weren’t exactly moneymakers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford officials earlier said the 11 teams cut were chosen “after a comprehensive evaluation of all of our sports across a broad set of criteria and considerations,” including local and national fan interest, each sport’s future success at Stanford – and its impact on diversity at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understood, but at the same time, our sport is growing,” he said, noting that six historically Black colleges just added men’s volleyball teams at the Division 1 and Division 2 level. “So right there, that is just increasing diversity in the sport in general. And I come back home to Annapolis and Baltimore, and I go work at these camps and I see a lot of minorities playing. … I think you have to go to the right areas to actually see the diversity. You’re not going to see it at the top level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond racial diversity, he said, the sport also has a large LGBTQ community and a strong culture of inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a community that is so accepting … that diversity can thrive,” he said. “And we’re just building on it every day and we pride ourselves on it. So it was painful to hear that (Stanford officials) don’t see it how we see it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he was not an organizer with the #WeAreUnited players movement, Jasper expressed support and said he was encouraged and thankful when he first read their list of demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am so proud of the athletes that are standing up for themselves and what they believe is right and demanding better from the people who essentially control their way of life,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Football is the sport everyone has their eyes on, and will most likely have the most impact on the conference and the NCAA, so to see them come together and not only try to better the situation for themselves, but trying to better the situation for ALL college athletes – and specifically Stanford athletes including myself and my team – is amazing. I am beyond grateful for their courage and their inclusivity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of Jasper’s parents were college athletes: His mom played basketball and his dad football at the University of Hawaii where they met. As a kid, his dad pushed him to play football, and in defiance he picked basketball. And when his dad then pressured him to take that sport more seriously, he went searching for something else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I told myself, I’m going to pick one sport you know nothing about and just go with that,” Jasper said.

Unhappy with how their universities have handled those issues, they’re threatening to opt out of the upcoming season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Athletes representing #WeAreUnited met with officials from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office on Tuesday, and with Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott in a late-evening call Thursday. Both meetings focused on players’ concerns with schools’ health and safety protocols around COVID-19, concerns outlined in one of their top demands: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Because we are being asked to play college sports in a pandemic in a system without enforced health and safety standards, and without transparency about COVID cases on our teams, the risks to ourselves, our families, and our communities, #WeAreUnited.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The group’s list of demands also includes a section on “preserving all existing sports by eliminating excessive expenditures” – a section which specifically calls out Stanford University. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“End lavish facility expenditures and use some endowment funds to preserve all sports,” the statement reads. “As an example, Stanford University should reinstate all sports discontinued by tapping into their $27.7 billion endowment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, Stanford University – a Pac-12 institution – \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/2020/07/08/athletics/#:~:text=Stanford%20will%20discontinue%2011%20of,swimming%2C%20men's%20volleyball%20and%20wrestling.\">announced its decision\u003c/a> to eliminate 11 varsity sports teams at the end of the 2020-21 academic year, citing major financial concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As you can imagine this has been a heartbreaking day for all of us, especially with those student athletes and coaches involved,” Stanford Athletic Director Bernard Muir said \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/14a9b95d892dfde558900c8a11f429b3\">when announcing the cuts\u003c/a>. “It recently became painfully clear we would not remain financially stable and support 36 varsity sports at a nationally competitive level, which is what we desire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And until the announcement, he had planned to repeat his junior year so he could have two more full seasons of volleyball and complete a double major in psychology and political science.

Tri-racial,” he said. “I mean, in all honesty, when I look at Division 1 men’s volleyball, it’s not the most diverse sport in the world. There are plenty of teams that I can pick out just the one or two Black kids they have. And honestly, a lot of them are also number 23. I’m not sure if that’s a trend or what’s going on. But a lot of Black volleyball players wear number 23, and that’s kind of interesting to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That lack of diversity in men’s volleyball, Jasper said, was no doubt a major factor in the university’s decision to cut the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They gave us a whole list of reasons why … But one of the reasons, or some of the reasons were, you know, diversity, that the teams that were cut weren’t the most diverse. They were (also) saying that we were having financial hardships from COVID-19 and the teams that were cut weren’t exactly moneymakers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford officials earlier said the 11 teams cut were chosen “after a comprehensive evaluation of all of our sports across a broad set of criteria and considerations,” including local and national fan interest, each sport’s future success at Stanford – and its impact on diversity at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understood, but at the same time, our sport is growing,” he said, noting that six historically Black colleges just added men’s volleyball teams at the Division 1 and Division 2 level. “So right there, that is just increasing diversity in the sport in general. And I come back home to Annapolis and Baltimore, and I go work at these camps and I see a lot of minorities playing. … I think you have to go to the right areas to actually see the diversity. You’re not going to see it at the top level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond racial diversity, he said, the sport also has a large LGBTQ community and a strong culture of inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a community that is so accepting … that diversity can thrive,” he said. “And we’re just building on it every day and we pride ourselves on it. So it was painful to hear that (Stanford officials) don’t see it how we see it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he was not an organizer with the #WeAreUnited players movement, Jasper expressed support and said he was encouraged and thankful when he first read their list of demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am so proud of the athletes that are standing up for themselves and what they believe is right and demanding better from the people who essentially control their way of life,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Football is the sport everyone has their eyes on, and will most likely have the most impact on the conference and the NCAA, so to see them come together and not only try to better the situation for themselves, but trying to better the situation for ALL college athletes – and specifically Stanford athletes including myself and my team – is amazing. I am beyond grateful for their courage and their inclusivity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If I have to be fighting it until the end of next year and then on through that, and they just keep cracking the door open, eventually we’re gonna bust that door down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Jasper also got involved in another organizing effort, joining a group of more than 50 other Stanford athletes of color in response to the police killing of George Floyd and the movement it galvanized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11831634\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11831634\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1555\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-800x486.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-1020x620.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-160x97.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-1536x933.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-2048x1244.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/IMG_8670-1920x1166.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jasper spikes the ball in a 2019 game against Purdue Fort Wayne. \u003ccite>(Mike Rasay/Stanford)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some of the athletes involved were, like him, among the only people of color on their teams. And in that moment of intense racial reckoning, many felt isolated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t know who to talk to either,” he said. “So I guess we also just wanted a space for us to talk, which we basically ended up creating ourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beyond that, the group also wanted the athletic department to actively acknowledge racial injustice and take a strong stand against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“None of us really felt like our teams or coaches really understood, and like, decided to say something. We were very unhappy with, I guess, the privilege that a lot of the athletic department was showing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After that, I feel like it just got picked up and became a thing. All the teams put out a statement saying, we don’t support racism, we love diversity. And then I feel like it just kind of became a trend for companies and whatever, and basically everyone just started saying that. But it was better than nothing and it was putting it out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immersing himself in both campaigns this summer, Jasper said, has made him that much more aware of the tremendous influence volleyball has had in almost every facet in his life, particularly in shaping into a leader and a fighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really hit me how much volleyball has taught me. And I don’t know what I would do or where I would be without it. And I’m forever in debt. I love the sport,” he said. “And, you know, like with everything that we’re going through right now, I’ve got to fight as hard as I can to make sure that that opportunity that I have exists for the next kid down the road and that the community can to continue to thrive and grow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s David Marks contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Just hours after Chhabria’s directive, detainees said two of those confirmed with COVID-19 had been hospitalized — including an elderly disabled man who was still in the ER and another man who they said was brought back to the facility and left gravely ill for hours in solitary confinement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dozens of people in our dorms are showing symptoms of COVID-19, and are desperate for care,” said the detainees in a written \u003ca href=\"https://www.centrolegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/MV-COVID-19-Outbreak-Statement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement\u003c/a>. “It takes days to see a doctor, and even then, they often just give us Tylenol and send us back to our dorms. We had to fight hard to get tested for COVID-19, and most of us still do not know our status.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806574/aclu-to-ice-release-immigrant-detainees-vulnerable-to-coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told KQED\u003c/a> it was ready to handle potential COVID-19 outbreaks at immigration detention facilities, including by isolating those who showed symptoms or were confirmed with the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in an email from May 27, the ICE field office director in San Francisco, David Jennings, seemed to oppose a plan for widespread testing at Mesa Verde because it would cause logistical problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have some concerns about being a test place,” Jennings wrote to ICE official Russell Hott in Washington, D.C. “In short, we have no place to cohort anyone who refuses, is positive, etc.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
