She's a native of Petaluma and currently lives under the \"South San Francisco the Industrial City\" sign in South City.

In a motion filed Tuesday with the California First District Court of Appeal, the hospital is requesting that order be overturned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_24823896/jahi-mcmath-hospital-fights-court-remove-brain-dead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Tribune\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The hospital’s motion states that Nailah Winkfield, Jahi’s mother, has had enough time to find a facility that would accept her daughter. “No such facility has been identified and it’s not plausible that a medical facility will be identified to care for such a person,” according to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family’s court filings said a facility in Medford, N.Y., is willing to take Jahi and provide 24-hour medical care, but the facility did not return calls for comment on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The hospital is also fighting the family’s request for a federal court to order Jahi be kept on a ventilator. The hospital’s filing argued that because she had already died, no irreparable harm would be suffered from turning it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jahi’s brain damage occurred after she went into cardiac arrest following post-surgical bleeding.

The network has worked “in relative silence for the sake of the sensitivity of her case….”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brother and mother of Schiavo participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the first medical facility in the country dedicated to the Florida woman.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Schiavo, languishing in a persistent vegetative state, was the subject of fierce and prolonged legal, political, and cultural battles in the 1990s and 2000s. She died in 2005 after her feeding tube was removed. Her case is different from McMath’s because she was not declared brain dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the link to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbli.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Beginnings Community Center for Brain Injury Rehabilitation\u003c/a>, where the family wants Jahi to be moved. Its online mission statement says the organization’s goal is “to help develop state of the art long-term rehabilitation services to survivors of traumatic brain injury and other cognitive and physical disorders. In order to help those who are on a journey of recovery, New Beginnings will help facilitate a holistic approach to survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other physical and cognitive disorders, offer support for their families, and raise awareness for the needs of this growing community.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The website says owner Allyson Scerri started the center after her father suffered a traumatic brain injury in an accident. Her bio says she “has worked with the public for three decades as owner of a thriving beauty salon and successful hair and make-up platform artist. Her work as a social advocate and leader in the health field began years ago when she started a support group for women with infertility problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Jahi-McMatch-Family-Seeks-Care-at-New-Beginnings-Traumatic-Brain-Injury-Center-in-Medford-NY-238236061.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC Bay Area\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In a Dec. 29 letter to (the family’s lawyer) Dolan, Scerri wrote that she was “aware of Jahi McMath’s dire situation and we are willing to open our outpatient facility” to her in a new facility called The Brendan House, which is “near completion.” She wrote that she would provide Jahi with nursing staff, licensed respiratory therapists and a pediatrician. Her letter does not address cost, or who would pay for the services. On a New Beginnings Facebook post, the organization notes that “this child has been defined as a deceased person yet she has all the functional attributes of a living person despite her brain injury.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>New Beginnings has been posting about the case on its \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/www.nbli.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook page\u003c/a>, where some commenters have been leaving confrontational posts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two California facilities have previously turned down requests to take Jahi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Bay Area has posted a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Jahi-McMatch-Family-Seeks-Care-at-New-Beginnings-Traumatic-Brain-Injury-Center-in-Medford-NY-238236061.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video of an interview with Dr. Paul Byrne\u003c/a>, who filed a declaration with the motion by Jahi’s family in federal court. AP reports that Byrne states that he visited Jahi’s bedside and observed her responding to her grandmother’s voice and touch by moving. In the video, Byrne, who does not believe brain death is equivalent to the end of life, says Jahi is “not truly dead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ABC7’s Dan Ashley spoke yesterday with a grief-stricken Nailah Winkfield, Jahi McMath’s mother, after the court extended the restraining order against removing the ventilator. Winkfield says she believes Jahi will wake up. “There’s too many cases that I’ve read, that I’ve seen, of people having brain damage and they’re waking up. And it’s not like a myth, these are actual things that have happened. So I just feel like why can’t they happen to my daughter?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arthur Caplan, director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center, told CNN last week that this particular case is “giving the impression that dead people can come back to life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notes from Paul Graham Fisher, the Stanford doctor who assessed Jahi’s neurological activity, state there is a “complete absence of cerebral function and complete absence of brainstem function. Child meets all criteria for brain death, by professional societies and state of California.” The \u003ca href=\"http://media.nbcbayarea.com/documents/Fisher+-+Redacted+Rpt_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notes\u003c/a> were obtained by NBC Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, KPIX has posted \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=9677113\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raw video\u003c/a> of a finger-pointing confrontation between family lawyer Chris Dolan and Children’s Hospital Oakland spokesman Sam Singer. Singer said Dolan was helping to “perpetuate a hoax.” Dolan, a personal injury attorney who said he had taken the McMath case for free, called Singer a “spin doctor.” \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video/9677113-raw-video-mcmath-lawyer-hospital-spokesperson-confront-each-other/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for that video\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The network has worked “in relative silence for the sake of the sensitivity of her case….”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The brother and mother of Schiavo participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the first medical facility in the country dedicated to the Florida woman.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Schiavo, languishing in a persistent vegetative state, was the subject of fierce and prolonged legal, political, and cultural battles in the 1990s and 2000s. She died in 2005 after her feeding tube was removed. Her case is different from McMath’s because she was not declared brain dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the link to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbli.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Beginnings Community Center for Brain Injury Rehabilitation\u003c/a>, where the family wants Jahi to be moved. Its online mission statement says the organization’s goal is “to help develop state of the art long-term rehabilitation services to survivors of traumatic brain injury and other cognitive and physical disorders. In order to help those who are on a journey of recovery, New Beginnings will help facilitate a holistic approach to survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other physical and cognitive disorders, offer support for their families, and raise awareness for the needs of this growing community.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The website says owner Allyson Scerri started the center after her father suffered a traumatic brain injury in an accident. Her bio says she “has worked with the public for three decades as owner of a thriving beauty salon and successful hair and make-up platform artist. Her work as a social advocate and leader in the health field began years ago when she started a support group for women with infertility problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Jahi-McMatch-Family-Seeks-Care-at-New-Beginnings-Traumatic-Brain-Injury-Center-in-Medford-NY-238236061.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC Bay Area\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In a Dec. 29 letter to (the family’s lawyer) Dolan, Scerri wrote that she was “aware of Jahi McMath’s dire situation and we are willing to open our outpatient facility” to her in a new facility called The Brendan House, which is “near completion.” She wrote that she would provide Jahi with nursing staff, licensed respiratory therapists and a pediatrician. Her letter does not address cost, or who would pay for the services. On a New Beginnings Facebook post, the organization notes that “this child has been defined as a deceased person yet she has all the functional attributes of a living person despite her brain injury.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>New Beginnings has been posting about the case on its \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/www.nbli.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook page\u003c/a>, where some commenters have been leaving confrontational posts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two California facilities have previously turned down requests to take Jahi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBC Bay Area has posted a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Jahi-McMatch-Family-Seeks-Care-at-New-Beginnings-Traumatic-Brain-Injury-Center-in-Medford-NY-238236061.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video of an interview with Dr. Paul Byrne\u003c/a>, who filed a declaration with the motion by Jahi’s family in federal court. AP reports that Byrne states that he visited Jahi’s bedside and observed her responding to her grandmother’s voice and touch by moving. In the video, Byrne, who does not believe brain death is equivalent to the end of life, says Jahi is “not truly dead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ABC7’s Dan Ashley spoke yesterday with a grief-stricken Nailah Winkfield, Jahi McMath’s mother, after the court extended the restraining order against removing the ventilator. Winkfield says she believes Jahi will wake up. “There’s too many cases that I’ve read, that I’ve seen, of people having brain damage and they’re waking up. And it’s not like a myth, these are actual things that have happened. So I just feel like why can’t they happen to my daughter?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arthur Caplan, director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center, told CNN last week that this particular case is “giving the impression that dead people can come back to life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notes from Paul Graham Fisher, the Stanford doctor who assessed Jahi’s neurological activity, state there is a “complete absence of cerebral function and complete absence of brainstem function. Child meets all criteria for brain death, by professional societies and state of California.” The \u003ca href=\"http://media.nbcbayarea.com/documents/Fisher+-+Redacted+Rpt_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notes\u003c/a> were obtained by NBC Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here’s part of the worker’s conversation with KQED News:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What’s most frustrating is that there are so many other issues going on in Oakland, like crime and poverty, and I feel like the corporate shuttles are the last thing these people should be worrying about. We’re not really causing any harm. And it’s really unfortunate that they don’t really see, you know, the big picture here. I mean, they’re just going to be driving out the people who really care about the city, out of Oakland. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Was the protest scary? \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It wasn’t scary at all, it was just more, more frustrating — it made me really angry that I just can’t go to my bus stop and like get on the bus and feel safe about it. Like now, I have to worry about whether my car’s going to get vandalized when I get back from work. It’s not scary since I’ve been through worse incidents in Oakland, and I feel like it’s really unfortunate that we have to go through this.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>What would the worker say to the protesters?\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I would say do your homework. Really just sort of kind of take a step back and really look, really think about what you’re doing, and … really see that these things that you’re doing are really causing harm to our city. People are watching us from all across the globe and people are just painting a really bad picture of Oakland.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But unfortunately a lack of middle-class-friendly housing is not unique to San Francisco, and the solution won’t be found within its 49 square miles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rest of the region has not done its share,” said Gabriel Metcalf, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/\">SPUR\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based urban planning organization. “It has not either permitted enough affordable housing or simply has not created walkable places. So the pressure on San Francisco is all the greater. We need help from the rest of the region to solve this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘That’s the problem – the places where it’s good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Cohen points out that some regional planning does take place, specifically at the hands of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.abag.ca.gov/planning/housingneeds/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of Bay Area Governments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state on a regular basis, every 5 to 7 years, comes up with some calculations of projected housing needs based on the growing workforce in every part of the state of California,” said Cohen. “The Bay Area gets what is called a ‘\u003ca href=\"http://www.abag.ca.gov/planning/housingneeds/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Housing Needs Allocation\u003c/a>.’ Those, in turn, are distributed to each county and city as their share of the housing production that they need to produce over the next 5 to 7 years. And that’s broken down by affordability level. San Francisco has its share, Burlingame has its share, Concord has its share. The crisis we’re in on a regional level is not a whole lot different from San Francisco, except the factors are different. We are dramatically underproducing low-income housing and middle-income housing across the region, and from a numbers standpoint, overproducing market-rate housing. So there is a structural problem with the market relative to need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But often, despite a region’s good intentions, \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/contracostatimes/ci_24562439/lafayette-mayor-homeowners-debate-growth-at-state-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local officials have a hard time getting their communities on board\u003c/a> with such plans. And that brings us to our next point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Drop the NIMBY-ism\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[NIMBY-ism] is probably the biggest problem we face,” said Karen Chapple, associate director of the \u003ca href=\"http://iurd.berkeley.edu/\">Institute for Urban and Regional Development\u003c/a> at UC Berkeley. “We don’t have an easy solution. I think it’s changing over time as people see that their own kids can’t live in their cities. Eventually they come to their senses, but they’re still going to fight the apartment building on their block.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Consider public transportation when planning and pricing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an October \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201310311000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discussion on the state of the Bay Area real estate market\u003c/a>, Carolyn Said, who covers economics and real estate for the San Francisco Chronicle, made the point that Solano County is a great place to live if you can work an off-schedule or work from home. In other words, if you don’t have to commute. Some of the least affordable (or should we say “less expensive”) areas in the Bay Area remain that way because a lack of transit infrastructure makes them less appealing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Chapple, public transit needs to be part of the affordable housing discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our cost of housing is not just how much we pay for rent and utilities, or mortgage and utilities,” said Chapple. “It’s also location, and how much that is costing us. How efficient is the location?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to think of transportation costs as part of this overall affordability question, which is where the regional issue becomes so salient… \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">We think we’re adding affordability out in Antioch, but in reality, we’re actually adding more transportation costs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be very strategic in thinking about where we’re going to put this housing,” Chapple continued. “So let’s look at our corridors, because that’s where there isn’t that much community objection. Let’s look at El Camino Real, let’s look at San Pablo Avenue, let’s look at Telegraph Avenue, and let’s incentivize building on these corridors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Peter Cohen warns that vulnerable populations often live along those transportation corridors and he cites concerns with \u003ca href=\"http://onebayarea.org/regional-initiatives/plan-bay-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a>, a regional transportation and housing plan aimed at accommodating growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201307220900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a> is essentially a growth vision for all the population of the region over the next 20 years or so, and 75 percent of it goes into those El Camino Real corridors or those urbanized neighborhoods,” said Cohen. “Which, from a land use standpoint and an urbanism standpoint, is good. … [But] if you overlay that with where there are communities that are actually vulnerable for displacement – gentrification displacement – it’s a very close match. That’s the problem – the places where it’s good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Show affordable housing the money\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen also goes on to criticize Plan Bay Area for its lack of monetary teeth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no funding source for the affordable housing that’s necessary to make that kind of vision work,” he said. “It’s just basically a numerical game plan and then the market builds. But the market only builds for a segment of that need and without the money, what you have is a recipe for displacement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just how much does it cost to build affordable or subsidized housing? A lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It probably costs, depending on who you’re building for, a few hundred thousand dollars in subsidies per unit,” said Gabriel Metcalf. “And maybe a third of that [comes from local sources]. So call it a $100,000 in subsidy, locally, per unit. You can kind of multiply that by how many people you want to help, and you can help thousands of people, but there will still be hundreds of thousands of people who are not going to get one of those units.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Think beyond the single-family unit\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a study on the East Bay of the potential for building in-law units, and compared it to the potential for building multi-family buildings, and we found that about half of our in-field developments should be coming from in-law units,” said Karen Chapple. “In many of our larger lots it’s very hard to assemble, it’s very expensive. It can cost one quarter the amount to build an in-law unit in the back of a single-family home. That said, it does need to be price controlled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are starting to recognize the role that secondary units can play in easing the housing crunch. San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener has \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=69198\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed allowing in-law units to be built in his district\u003c/a> and Board of Supervisor President David Chiu introduced legislation that would \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-in-law-proposal-would-make-units-legal-5011267.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legalize existing secondary units\u003c/a> that were built illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do you think Bay Area officials should do to increase the amount of affordable housing in the region?

Let’s look at El Camino Real, let’s look at San Pablo Avenue, let’s look at Telegraph Avenue, and let’s incentivize building on these corridors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Peter Cohen warns that vulnerable populations often live along those transportation corridors and he cites concerns with \u003ca href=\"http://onebayarea.org/regional-initiatives/plan-bay-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a>, a regional transportation and housing plan aimed at accommodating growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201307220900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a> is essentially a growth vision for all the population of the region over the next 20 years or so, and 75 percent of it goes into those El Camino Real corridors or those urbanized neighborhoods,” said Cohen. “Which, from a land use standpoint and an urbanism standpoint, is good. … [But] if you overlay that with where there are communities that are actually vulnerable for displacement – gentrification displacement – it’s a very close match. That’s the problem – the places where it’s good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Show affordable housing the money\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen also goes on to criticize Plan Bay Area for its lack of monetary teeth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no funding source for the affordable housing that’s necessary to make that kind of vision work,” he said. “It’s just basically a numerical game plan and then the market builds. But the market only builds for a segment of that need and without the money, what you have is a recipe for displacement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just how much does it cost to build affordable or subsidized housing? A lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It probably costs, depending on who you’re building for, a few hundred thousand dollars in subsidies per unit,” said Gabriel Metcalf. “And maybe a third of that [comes from local sources]. So call it a $100,000 in subsidy, locally, per unit. You can kind of multiply that by how many people you want to help, and you can help thousands of people, but there will still be hundreds of thousands of people who are not going to get one of those units.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Think beyond the single-family unit\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a study on the East Bay of the potential for building in-law units, and compared it to the potential for building multi-family buildings, and we found that about half of our in-field developments should be coming from in-law units,” said Karen Chapple. “In many of our larger lots it’s very hard to assemble, it’s very expensive. It can cost one quarter the amount to build an in-law unit in the back of a single-family home. That said, it does need to be price controlled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are starting to recognize the role that secondary units can play in easing the housing crunch. San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener has \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=69198\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed allowing in-law units to be built in his district\u003c/a> and Board of Supervisor President David Chiu introduced legislation that would \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-in-law-proposal-would-make-units-legal-5011267.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legalize existing secondary units\u003c/a> that were built illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The letter expressed dismay at African-American SNL cast member Kenan Thompson’s recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.tvguide.com/News/SNL-Diversity-Issue-Kenan-Thompson-1072056.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comments to TV Guide\u003c/a> about the show’s perpetual lack of black comediennes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just a tough part of the business,” Thompson said. “Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That comment made \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=kenan+thompson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">headlines\u003c/a> and did not go over well, naturally, with \u003ca href=\"http://www.mediaite.com/tv/three-black-female-comedians-fire-back-at-snls-kenan-thompson/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">black comediennes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson’s letter to Michaels also criticized the show for its depiction of black women. Excerpt:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In the 39-year history of SNL\u003cem>,\u003c/em> just three Black women have joined the show’s repertory cast. The first, \u003cstrong>Danitra Vance\u003c/strong>, was hired after the show had already been on air for a decade, and quit after a short period because she was only given tired roles written expressly to demean and dismiss Black women, including baby mamas, maids and women with a bad attitude. That was 1986 — when I was in elementary school — and it seems little has changed over the course of my lifetime.\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since\u003cstrong> Maya Rudolph\u003c/strong>‘s departure in 2007, SNL has failed to cast even one Black woman — yet still manages to traffic in dehumanizing portrayals that make race and gender the butt of the joke. Whether it’s Kenan Thompson in drag as the crass, sexually aggressive “Virginiaca,” or white cast member \u003cstrong>Cecily Strong\u003c/strong> voicing “Verquonica” — a “large, non-functional” (i.e. overweight and lazy), unmistakably “Black” Starbucks coffee machine — SNL seems committed to aggressively continuing to push images of Black women as incompetent, rude, hypersexual and financially dependent. Frankly, we’re tired of this disrespect.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>After that letter was made public, Lorne Michaels talked to the Associated Press about the issue. “It’s not like it’s not a priority for us,” he said about the paucity of black women. “It will happen.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The No. 1 comment we hear about the new Bay Bridge bike path: “Wow! Cool!” The very next thing we hear: “Where is it exactly? How do I find it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s clear enough where the bike and pedestrian path is once you’re on the bridge, it’s not at all obvious how one negotiates the welter of freeway flyovers, overpasses and approaches to arrive on the eastern span. So: Here’s a guide on how to get to the bike and pedestrian path, with a couple observations thrown in about access. Note: The instructions below get you only to the bike path. You still have a ride or walk of about 4 miles each way once you reach the path.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nTwo main access points are open: Just outside the Ikea store on Shellmound Street in Emeryville and at the corner of Maritime Street and Burma Road, just outside the Port of Oakland. Before we get to a turn-by-turn route, I have a recommendation for anyone cycling to the new path: Use the Shellmound/Ikea entrance, whether you ride from West Oakland or from MacArthur or anywhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s better marked. It’s got the best access from rapid transit if you’re not a local. (MacArthur BART is 1.9 miles away. West Oakland is 2.3 miles away via Mandela Parkway. Those are easy 10- to 15-minute rides.) And for my money, the streets leading to the Shellmound access are much bike-friendlier. Yes, they involve some urban riding, and that means being alert and being comfortable taking your place in traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The route to the Maritime Street/Burma Road access, on the other hand, runs through one of the busiest industrial areas in the Bay Area, with lots of trucks traveling to and from the port. That Maritime/Burma access makes a lot more sense if you’re driving and parking there, as adjacent to the West Grand Avenue entrance and exit to the Bay Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are detailed directions for getting to the new bike path, complete with a slideshow and Google map (after the step-by-step instructions). Driving directions are at the bottom of the post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bicycling from MacArthur BART: \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. After exiting fare gets, go left to access 40th Street. You’ll want to head left, or west, on 40th Street, so you’ll need to cross at the traffic signal at the MacArthur BART driveway.\u003cbr>\n2. \u003cstrong>Head west .1 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street under the BART/Highway 24 overpass. The first light you’ll come to is Martin Luther King Jr. Way. (If the first light you hit is Telegraph Avenue, you’re headed the wrong way. Turn around!). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .1\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3. \u003cstrong>Continue west .5 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street past signals at West Street, Market Street, to Adeline Street, where 40th jogs slightly to the left. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .6\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n4. \u003cstrong>Continue west .8 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street across San Pablo Avenue, then past signals at Hollis Street and Horton Street to the foot of the overpass, where Shellmound Street begins. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.4. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Continue .4 mile \u003c/strong>across overpass as Shellmound curves right (north) to the first traffic signal. The signal marks both the entrance to the Ikea parking lots and one entry to the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. The access is clearly marked with a sign for the Bay Trail and an informational display for the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.8.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6. \u003cstrong>Entering the path\u003c/strong> at this point allows you to circle under the Shellmound Street overpass and join the main path.\u003cbr>\n7. \u003cstrong>There is a second entrance \u003c/strong>to the path, from southbound Shellmound Street, immediately across the street from the first described above. Walkers and riders can reach it by crossing at the Ikea traffic signal or by looping under the overpass as described in Step 6 above. It affords ready access to people traveling south from Berkeley — say, from Aquatic Park and along Shellmound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bicycling from West Oakland BART:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>West Oakland Option 1, via Mandela Parkway. \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n1. \u003cstrong>Exit the station to Mandela Parkway,\u003c/strong> at the east end of the station property (the end nearer downtown Oakland).\u003cbr>\n2. \u003cstrong>Turn left (north) on Mandela. \u003c/strong>Cross 7th Street. (If you find yourself crossing 5th Street, then curving left under a freeway overpass, you’re going the wrong way. Turn around.)\u003cbr>\n3. \u003cstrong>Continue 1.3 miles north on Mandela\u003c/strong> past major intersections at 14th Street (traffic signal at .5 mile), West Grand Avenue (traffic signal at .9 mile), and 32nd Street (1.3 miles). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.3 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n4. \u003cstrong>Continue .5 mile on Mandela. \u003c/strong>After 32nd Street, Mandela curves gradually to the left. The parkway narrows to a four-lane street at 34th Street. Then the street curves right (east) under the MacArthur Maze freeway overpasses to Horton Street. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.8 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Turn left at Horton Street, \u003c/strong>a four-way stop (you’ll have a Target Store on your left and a Best Buy on your right at the intersection). Continue .1 mile to 40th Street. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.9 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6. \u003cstrong>Turn left at 40th Street. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n7. \u003cstrong>Continue .4 mile \u003c/strong>across overpass as Shellmound curves right (north) to the first traffic signal. The signal marks both the entrance to the Ikea parking lots and one entry to the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. The access is clearly marked with a sign for the Bay Trail and an informational display for the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 2.3 miles.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n8. \u003cstrong>Entering the path\u003c/strong> at this point allows you to circle under the Shellmound Street overpass and join the main path.\u003cbr>\n9. \u003cstrong>There is a second entrance \u003c/strong>to the path, from southbound Shellmound Street, immediately across the street from the first described above.

(If you’ve passed Mandela Parkway or Adeline Street after leaving BART, you’re going the wrong way. Turn around). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .2 mile. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n4. \u003cstrong>Continue on 7th Street .2 mile\u003c/strong> to Wood Street (traffic signal). You’ll be riding along the BART tracks (overhead and to the left). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .4 mile.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Continue on 7th Street .6 mile\u003c/strong>, through two viaducts, to Maritime Street. Total mileage: 1.0 mile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>CAUTION: The first viaduct contains two traffic signals and freeway on- and off-ramps for Interstate 880. The second viaduct is shorter but darker with bad pavement. You should expect truck traffic from the freeway ramps all the way to the bike/pedestrian trail access points at Maritime Street and Burma Road.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>6. \u003cstrong>At the first traffic signal\u003c/strong> after the viaducts, take the gradual right turn onto Maritime Street.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The No. 1 comment we hear about the new Bay Bridge bike path: “Wow! Cool!” The very next thing we hear: “Where is it exactly? How do I find it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s clear enough where the bike and pedestrian path is once you’re on the bridge, it’s not at all obvious how one negotiates the welter of freeway flyovers, overpasses and approaches to arrive on the eastern span. So: Here’s a guide on how to get to the bike and pedestrian path, with a couple observations thrown in about access. Note: The instructions below get you only to the bike path. You still have a ride or walk of about 4 miles each way once you reach the path.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nTwo main access points are open: Just outside the Ikea store on Shellmound Street in Emeryville and at the corner of Maritime Street and Burma Road, just outside the Port of Oakland. Before we get to a turn-by-turn route, I have a recommendation for anyone cycling to the new path: Use the Shellmound/Ikea entrance, whether you ride from West Oakland or from MacArthur or anywhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s better marked. It’s got the best access from rapid transit if you’re not a local. (MacArthur BART is 1.9 miles away. West Oakland is 2.3 miles away via Mandela Parkway. Those are easy 10- to 15-minute rides.) And for my money, the streets leading to the Shellmound access are much bike-friendlier. Yes, they involve some urban riding, and that means being alert and being comfortable taking your place in traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The route to the Maritime Street/Burma Road access, on the other hand, runs through one of the busiest industrial areas in the Bay Area, with lots of trucks traveling to and from the port. That Maritime/Burma access makes a lot more sense if you’re driving and parking there, as adjacent to the West Grand Avenue entrance and exit to the Bay Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You’ll want to head left, or west, on 40th Street, so you’ll need to cross at the traffic signal at the MacArthur BART driveway.\u003cbr>\n2. \u003cstrong>Head west .1 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street under the BART/Highway 24 overpass. The first light you’ll come to is Martin Luther King Jr. Way. (If the first light you hit is Telegraph Avenue, you’re headed the wrong way. Turn around!). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .1\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3. \u003cstrong>Continue west .5 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street past signals at West Street, Market Street, to Adeline Street, where 40th jogs slightly to the left. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .6\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n4. \u003cstrong>Continue west .8 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street across San Pablo Avenue, then past signals at Hollis Street and Horton Street to the foot of the overpass, where Shellmound Street begins. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.4. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Continue .4 mile \u003c/strong>across overpass as Shellmound curves right (north) to the first traffic signal. The signal marks both the entrance to the Ikea parking lots and one entry to the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. The access is clearly marked with a sign for the Bay Trail and an informational display for the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.8.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6. \u003cstrong>Entering the path\u003c/strong> at this point allows you to circle under the Shellmound Street overpass and join the main path.\u003cbr>\n7. \u003cstrong>There is a second entrance \u003c/strong>to the path, from southbound Shellmound Street, immediately across the street from the first described above. Walkers and riders can reach it by crossing at the Ikea traffic signal or by looping under the overpass as described in Step 6 above.

(If you find yourself crossing 5th Street, then curving left under a freeway overpass, you’re going the wrong way. Turn around.)\u003cbr>\n3. \u003cstrong>Continue 1.3 miles north on Mandela\u003c/strong> past major intersections at 14th Street (traffic signal at .5 mile), West Grand Avenue (traffic signal at .9 mile), and 32nd Street (1.3 miles). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.3 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n4. \u003cstrong>Continue .5 mile on Mandela. \u003c/strong>After 32nd Street, Mandela curves gradually to the left. The parkway narrows to a four-lane street at 34th Street. Then the street curves right (east) under the MacArthur Maze freeway overpasses to Horton Street. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.8 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Turn left at Horton Street, \u003c/strong>a four-way stop (you’ll have a Target Store on your left and a Best Buy on your right at the intersection).

With this home, we are here to empower these girls and give them a place to call home. A lot of these girls have not had a place to call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What makes Oakland a hub for sex trafficking?\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: It has always been called a hub. It has just been so invisible to everyone of what’s been going on. So what really makes Alameda County a hub, Oakland a hub, is we have tons of children that have been abandoned and neglected by their parents and the system as well. When we have girls that are being neglected and abandoned, they do not have a reality of what a family is and what love is; they are seeking and looking for it, in all the wrong places, not knowing what a healthy family and healthy love looks like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: I understand a lot of the pimps that are coming in are not from Oakland. They’re from other parts of the country, not even the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: They understand that this business is not just an Oakland business, it’s a human trafficking trade. We get men coming, knowing and saying when they get picked up by the police, “I knew I could come to Oakland and have sex with a child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: You’ve worked with vulnerable youth in a variety of service organizations and capacities. What’s different about this place that you’re building now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: We’re not institutionalized. We have partners — as well as ourselves — that have expertise, that are specialized in working with exploited children. We feel we have the necessary skills to actually be able to make a difference in exploited children’s lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What can the community do to help identify these kids and get them the help they need?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: It’s so important for our communities to be aware of what’s going on. When you’re out late at night and you see a girl just hanging out on a corner — just hanging there — it’s very likely she’s being exploited and that her pimp is just in a car, maybe two cars down, watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important for you to be aware and to understand them and don’t feel that these girls want to be out there. They are being forced to be out there. This is not something they wake up and decide to do. They do not decide to be out there and have sex with multiple men for a profit for someone else. Second, to learn about them and to educate their family, their friends, other people, but also maybe volunteer for an organization that’s working with exploited children. You can join an outreach team that goes out there on the street to give out food, self-care packets, and you’re able to uplift them. There are a lot of churches that are involved in this movement as well, that are just doing what they can to help the girls. So many factors play into it, I think the most important is to become aware of what’s going on and educate anyone they know.\u003c/p>\n\n",

One reason experts cite Oakland is its relatively large number of group homes for a city of its size. Pimps know kids at group homes are vulnerable, and there are currently 16 such licensed facilities in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Stephanie Martin \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/story/2013/08/05/124261/new_approach_to_fighting_child_prostitution_in_alameda_county?category=bay+area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">talked with Sarai Smith\u003c/a>, program coordinator with Alameda Family Services.

With this home, we are here to empower these girls and give them a place to call home. A lot of these girls have not had a place to call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What makes Oakland a hub for sex trafficking?\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: It has always been called a hub. It has just been so invisible to everyone of what’s been going on. So what really makes Alameda County a hub, Oakland a hub, is we have tons of children that have been abandoned and neglected by their parents and the system as well. When we have girls that are being neglected and abandoned, they do not have a reality of what a family is and what love is; they are seeking and looking for it, in all the wrong places, not knowing what a healthy family and healthy love looks like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: I understand a lot of the pimps that are coming in are not from Oakland. They’re from other parts of the country, not even the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: They understand that this business is not just an Oakland business, it’s a human trafficking trade. We get men coming, knowing and saying when they get picked up by the police, “I knew I could come to Oakland and have sex with a child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: You’ve worked with vulnerable youth in a variety of service organizations and capacities. What’s different about this place that you’re building now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: We’re not institutionalized. We have partners — as well as ourselves — that have expertise, that are specialized in working with exploited children. We feel we have the necessary skills to actually be able to make a difference in exploited children’s lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What can the community do to help identify these kids and get them the help they need?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smith\u003c/strong>: It’s so important for our communities to be aware of what’s going on. When you’re out late at night and you see a girl just hanging out on a corner — just hanging there — it’s very likely she’s being exploited and that her pimp is just in a car, maybe two cars down, watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important for you to be aware and to understand them and don’t feel that these girls want to be out there. They are being forced to be out there. This is not something they wake up and decide to do. They do not decide to be out there and have sex with multiple men for a profit for someone else. Second, to learn about them and to educate their family, their friends, other people, but also maybe volunteer for an organization that’s working with exploited children. You can join an outreach team that goes out there on the street to give out food, self-care packets, and you’re able to uplift them. There are a lot of churches that are involved in this movement as well, that are just doing what they can to help the girls. So many factors play into it, I think the most important is to become aware of what’s going on and educate anyone they know.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
