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

But the \u003ca href=\"https://thepear.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pear Theatre\u003c/a> in Mountain View was looking for something overtly political when it scheduled Arthur Miller’s \u003cem>A View From the Bridge\u003c/em> last November, during the run-up to the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the below 1987 interview with the BBC, Arthur Miller describes the context of the Italian community depicted in the play, including a large number of illegal immigrants. “They felt themselves separated from the vast majority of Americans,” Miller says, “by language, by background, and on the waterfront, by the kind of work they did.” But their compatriots were starving in Italy. “America was all there was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45bMF3rKAh8]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>A View From the Bridge\u003c/em> tells the story of Eddie, who provides safe haven to two illegal immigrants related to his wife until one takes a shine to his niece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Director Ray Renati loves the way the themes in this classic reverberate with present-day politics, and not just on the issue of immigration. “Eddie’s a bully,” Renati says. “No one dares to go against anything that Eddie says, or he will make sure that you pay. Donald Trump does the same thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With \u003cem>A View From the Bridge\u003c/em>, Arthur Miller’s politically astute storytelling feels as compelling today as it was in 1955, when the play was written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a similar vein, Ayad Ahktar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003cem>Disgraced\u003c/em> feels ripped from the headlines. Though it was written long before Trump’s proposed Muslim ban, the drama bristles with rage and despair, as the progressive, liberal, well-to-do Muslim-American character at the play’s center buckles under the weight of prejudice.

Donald Trump does the same thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With \u003cem>A View From the Bridge\u003c/em>, Arthur Miller’s politically astute storytelling feels as compelling today as it was in 1955, when the play was written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a similar vein, Ayad Ahktar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003cem>Disgraced\u003c/em> feels ripped from the headlines.

Steele, of Emerge America, believes this latest burst of enthusiasm is different from past years and she’s confident that more women will actually run in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The biggest challenge for us is getting more women interested in running,” said Steele. “So the fact that women are self-nominating, are waking up and saying ‘I want to do this,’ is the biggest, most hopeful sign that I’ve seen definitely since the Anita Hill hearings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Noble, she says she’s already learned a lot by running for office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have really liked listening to people, working on ideas, having people listening to me.” She says the school board campaign was a good test run for future campaigns. “I’m so energized.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Many green card holders are now flocking to apply for citizenship, including Vera Mayorga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing on the sidewalk outside CHIRLA's office, she said her mother, Dina, is concerned about more changes in immigration policy and feels that getting citizenship is the best insurance against being deported back to Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She doesn't want to go back,\" Vera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is scary because here is my life,\" Dina added. \"My daughter's going to school here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After CHIRLA staffers opened their office doors, the Mayorgas and other green card holders streamed inside to start filling out intake forms. There were so many people crammed into the room that more chairs had to be brought in. Smiles broke across nervous faces as a staffer welcomed them in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We used to see two to three people a week seeking citizenship services.

Another challenge has been the fees, which can total as much as $725 to file the application for naturalization and to pay for the required fingerprinting and other biometric collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not everyone understands that if you're indigent or low income, you can get a waiver of that filing fee,\" Wernick explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presidential election cycles generally boost the number of citizenship applications.
