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.",

It also would expand access to doulas and midwives, whose presence can drive better care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every individual deserves to have a healthy pregnancy and birth, and this bill will help make this a reality for more California families,” Newsom said in a press release. “It is unacceptable that the maternal and infant mortality rate among Black and Indigenous communities remains significantly higher than the state average.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 65, co-authored by Democratic state Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, formalizes a committee that is tasked with investigating every death of a birthing person and allows for voluntary interviews of family members to better understand what happened. It also looks into pregnancy-related deaths among members of the LGBTQ+ community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Newsom’s signing SB 65, the California Momnibus Act, represents a significant victory for Black maternal and infant health. Despite our medical advances, more U.S. babies and mothers die during birth than in all other high-income countries, and these preventable deaths are disproportionately higher for Black families,” said Skinner, who is also vice chair of the Legislative Women’s Caucus. “With the enactment of SB 65, California will help close racial disparities in maternal and infant deaths and save lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also increases Medi-Cal coverage to a full year postpartum. Previously, birthing people in lower-income families were kicked off Medi-Cal, California’s version of the federal Medicaid program, two months after giving birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill affirms here in California these kinds of disparities in our maternal and infant outcomes will no longer be tolerated,” said state Assemblymember Dr. Akilah Weber, D-San Diego, another co-author of SB 65.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>See the signing below:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/mTDSMNyUNrQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: Sept. 27, 2021\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has among the lowest death rates nationally among pregnant and birthing people, but the numbers for Black people in those populations tell a different story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were six times more likely to die within a year of pregnancy than white women from 2014 to 2016 and had a higher rate of death than Black women nationally from 2014 to 2017, the most recent time frame for which data is available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jen Flory, Western Center on Law and Poverty\"]‘It is going to take a serious investment and resources, whether that means providing every Black mother a doula or really investigating what’s happening when Black mothers die.’[/pullquote]A bill before Gov.

The pregnancy-related mortality rate, used in California and some other states, tracks deaths within a year of giving birth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looks at both, though data lags and isn’t available to compare across states for the latter measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the California Department of Public Health released a report tracking California’s outcomes from 2008 to 2016. Deaths of birthing people within a year of pregnancy hit a low in 2012, with fewer than 10 per 100,000 live births. It ticked up to about 14 deaths in 2016, slightly behind the national rate of almost 17 deaths.

Newsom in his state budget made doulas a covered benefit under Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for lower-income people, following states including New York and Illinois. Doulas are trained to assist and advocate for birthing people in pregnancy and during and after birth. Research shows their presence reduces pregnancy complications and low birthweight in babies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='health-equity']The benefit takes effect next year, and the bill before Newsom would establish a group to study its use. The proposal also expands training for midwives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kudumu said she’s helped birthing people stick to their birthing plans in the face of pressure from doctors and provided them with nursing and lactation support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She knows the value from personal experience. When Kudumu delivered her son prematurely, she felt disrespected by the doctor because she’s a Black woman who was on Medi-Cal at the time while she was in graduate school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kudumu had to fight to ensure her son got breastmilk instead of formula while he was in the newborn intensive care unit. She remembers the doctor’s attitude changing when another doula at the hospital came up to greet her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to make sure that this resource, that evidence shows improves health outcomes, is more accessible to people,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original reporting for this post was from Kathleen Ronayne of the The Associated Press.

Newsom in his state budget made doulas a covered benefit under Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for lower-income people, following states including New York and Illinois. Doulas are trained to assist and advocate for birthing people in pregnancy and during and after birth. Research shows their presence reduces pregnancy complications and low birthweight in babies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We are all exhausted by it,” Newsom said at a press conference at James Denman Middle School in San Francisco. “We are humbled by the challenge, but we want to get this thing done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families who choose not to vaccinate their kids will be able to enroll students in independent study outside of classrooms, but those students will not be allowed to attend in-person classes unless they have a medical or religious exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools are “closing frequently” in states that don’t take a data-driven approach, Newsom said. “That’s why we recognize our responsibility to do more and what we’re announcing here today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already fully approved the COVID vaccine for those 16 and over, but only granted an emergency authorization for kids 12 to 15. Once federal regulators fully approve the vaccine for that younger age group, students in seventh through 12th grades will be required to get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on when federal regulators grant that approval, Newsom said he expects to enact the statewide regulations by either January 1 or July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine will subsequently be required for students in kindergarten through sixth grades after it receives final federal approval for children 5 to 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom cited the disparate politics of California’s many school districts for his decision to hold off on the student vaccine requirement until full FDA approval is given.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got 1,000 school districts, we’ve got a lot of different points of views and opinions, a lot of regionality, a lot of distinctions. We thought this was the best and most appropriate next step for California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize in a state that’s larger than 21 states combined, that one size cannot fit all, with one caveat, and that’s baseline expectations,” Newsom added. “That’s what we’re providing here, a baseline expectation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 6 million students attend K-12 schools in California, representing some 12% of all students in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement comes as COVID-19 infections across most of California have dropped markedly in the last month, and just weeks after \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/california-recall\">Newsom easily defeated a recall effort\u003c/a>, emboldening his drive to impose additional statewide vaccine mandates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.shotsforschool.org/k-12/\">new rule adds the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of immunizations children in California must receive\u003c/a> in order to attend school in person. Students are already required to be vaccinated against a host of diseases, including measles, chicken pox, polio and tetanus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"vaccine-mandate\"]When the new order takes effect, all school staff must also be vaccinated and will no longer have the option to take weekly tests as an alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom pointed to the success of the San Francisco school district, which already has a staff vaccine requirement, and has only reported \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfusd.edu/covid-19-response-updates-and-resources/health-and-safety-guidelines/when-someone-gets-sick/covid-19-testing-dashboard\">46 new COVID infections\u003c/a> among its staff of nearly 10,000 since in-person school resumed in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco Unified School District has overwhelmingly succeeded in getting staff across the spectrum vaccinated,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now, Newsom had left the decision on student vaccine mandates to local school districts, leading to a variety of different orders across some of the state’s largest districts. Five districts in California have already imposed their own requirements, including Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest school district, which is set to take effect in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Newsom’s mandate, those districts can proceed with their plans and “accelerate” the requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Peter N. Bretan, president of the California Medical Association, said his organization “strongly supports” the governor’s decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a new idea. We already require vaccines against several known deadly diseases before students can enroll in schools,” he said in a statement. “The Newsom administration is simply extending existing public health protections to cover this new disease, which has caused so much pain and suffering across our state, our nation and the entire globe over the last 18 months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has made it a point of pride to be the first in the nation to issue a variety of pandemic-related school mandates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, California became the first state to require all teachers and staff in K-12 public and private schools to get vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. Newsom also issued a school mask mandate earlier in the summer for indoor classes that applies to all teachers and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe we are the first state in America to move forward with this [new vaccine] mandate, but I do not believe by any stretch we’ll be the last state,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes additional reporting from KQED’s Holly McDede and The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

We have the right to know if and when a local officer engages in misconduct,” said Skinner, D-Berkeley, in an interview on Sept. 15. “SB 16 sends a clear message that officers who engage in racist or discriminatory behavior are not welcome in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 2 and SB 16 also work together to close a loophole that records released under SB 1421 revealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An officer would quit their job as soon as they were accused of misconduct that could have been exposed,” Skinner said. “And then there was no record that followed them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 2 requires that agencies complete that investigation even if an officer quits, and SB 16 requires that agencies maintain that record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom credited \"the most powerful force on planet Earth\" — mothers — for their leadership on police reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hopefully this provides a little hopefulness, softens the edges a little bit, that your most precious — your children’s lives were not in vain and that their loss can somehow ennoble all of us to do more and be better,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fouzia Almarou, Ross’s mother, said she hoped the decertification law would help other families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm his mother,” Almarou said. “I was with him 25 years.

The law states the governor should give preference to people who have experienced police violence, but does not require it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 2 also removes some of the immunity protections that police officers claim, making it easier for people to sue individual officers for their actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom on Thursday also signed AB 89, or \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB89\">The Peace Officers Education and Age Conditions for Employment Act, or PEACE Act\u003c/a>, which raises the minimum age of eligibility to become a cop from 18 to 21 and expands education for officers.

To split a lot, neither of the parcels can be smaller than 1,200 square feet, and the homeowner must sign an affidavit that they will remain in the house for the subsequent three years — designed as a guardrail against potential speculation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a city could deny some projects, specifically those that pose a threat to health or safety, it would have to issue findings that meet a whole host of criteria, too, according to Moira O’Neill, a law professor at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given current land and construction costs, the Terner Center estimates the new law could lead to about\u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/SB-9-Brief-July-2021-Final.pdf\"> 660,000 new housing units across the state over several years\u003c/a> — a sizable fraction of the 1.8 million to 3.5 million units that experts say California needs to meet its housing shortage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it would be up to eligible homeowners to decide to turn their houses into duplexes or fourplexes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And despite opponents’ warnings that the law will radically remake the traditional single-family neighborhoods the state is so famous for, the same study estimates less than 5% of the state’s 7.5 million single-family lots will be changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Ritu Raj Sharma, DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning\"]‘[SB 9] will give [older homeowners] an opportunity to stay in the same neighborhoods without having to move out, because previously, the option was you would cash out and move to a different neighborhood or a different state.’[/pullquote]Ritu Raj Sharma, a senior planner with Bay Area-based \u003ca href=\"https://www.dahlingroup.com/\">DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning\u003c/a>, predicts that mostly older homeowners will take advantage of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will give them an opportunity to stay in the same neighborhoods without having to move out, because previously, the option was you would cash out and move to a different neighborhood or a different state,” Sharma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the new law doesn’t cap the cost of the new units, leading vocal opponents to argue it will only exacerbate the state’s affordability crisis. The law’s supporters, however, argue that adding a unit affordable to a middle-class family opens up a less expensive unit for a family one step below them on the economic ladder.

Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, which allows a city to bypass environmental review to build as many as 10 units on a single-family parcel near a transit hub or urban infill developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This new law likely will have a considerably smaller impact, Sharma predicts, because the onus to take advantage of it is on the very cities that usually oppose more dense development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems a little counterintuitive that we have this problem created by the same folks, and now we are asking them to make that change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='housing]“Berkeley wants to zone for fourplexes in single-family neighborhoods, so they may use SB 10 to expedite that.
