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.",

Gavin Newsom, in which California voters will decide whether he should be replaced. Ballots are already being sent out to the state’s registered voters in some counties, and all voters should have their ballots by next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last gubernatorial recall election in California was back in 2003, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected to replace then-governor Gray Davis. Read on for the key points about the 2021 Newsom recall election, from what’s on your ballot to how voting works — there could be some elements you might not be aware of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you’re interested in why this election is even happening and how we got here, take a look at this \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11884520/your-guide-to-the-gavin-newsom-recall-election\">explainer from our friends at Bay Curious\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Even if you don’t want to recall Newsom, you should still vote\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If more than 50% of the total voters in this recall election say “yes” to recalling Newsom, he will be recalled and whichever replacement candidate gets the most votes will become governor in late October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The replacement candidate won’t need a majority of votes. It also won’t matter how few votes they get. They will become governor of California for the next year and a half, for the rest of Newsom’s term.[pullquote size='medium' align='right']The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register online to vote\u003c/a> is Monday, Aug. 30.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If more than 50% of voters say “no” to the recall, Newsom will continue as governor until his term ends on Jan. 2, 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this means that even if you believe Newsom should remain governor of California, you should actively vote for that outcome, rather than sitting it out. Your lack of a vote won’t count as a vote against the recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Everyone’s getting a mail-in ballot (again)\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Just as in the 2020 general election, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">if you’re registered to vote you’ll be receiving a mail-in ballot by default\u003c/a> for the recall election, without requesting it.[pullquote size='medium' align='right']Election Day for the recall is Sept. 14.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: Your ballot will be sent to the address at which you’re registered to vote, so \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">check now that your address is correct\u003c/a> — especially if you moved in the last year. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">if you’re not already registered to vote, you can do it online or by mail until Aug. 30\u003c/a>. If you miss that deadline, you can still conditionally register at any voting location through Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>You might find the recall question you’re voting on confusing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Your ballot has two things to vote on, in the form of two questions: whether you want to recall Newsom, and which candidate you want to succeed him if he is recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Question 1 reads: “Shall GAVIN NEWSOM be recalled (removed) from the office of Governor?” Yes or no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means that if you vote “yes,” you’re voting to recall Newsom and remove him from his position as governor of California. If you vote “no,” you’re voting to keep Newsom as governor of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to clarify this, because the yes/no expression of Question 1 might be confusing to some folks. For example, some might think a “yes” vote means a thumbs-up for Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next on your ballot, Question 2 has a list of 46 candidates who could succeed Newsom if he is recalled. You can choose one. Which leads us to …\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Even if you don’t want to recall Newsom, you can still vote for a hypothetical replacement…\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even if you vote “no” on recalling Newsom on Question 1 of your ballot, you can still answer Question 2 by choosing a candidate to succeed him in the event that the recall effort is successful. And for folks who didn’t vote in the last recall election back in 2003, or don’t remember it, that concept might not be obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re voting “no” on the recall, you might think “if I don’t want Newsom to be recalled, why should I choose his potential replacement?” The answer to that is: If Newsom \u003cem>is\u003c/em> recalled, your choice of candidate will still actively count toward who replaces him as governor. Answering Question 2 by choosing a succession candidate doesn’t affect or invalidate a “no” answer to Question 1 about the recall itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, by voting on Question 2, you’ll have a say in who California’s next governor is if Newsom were to be recalled, even if you vote against the recall.

Gavin Newsom, in which California voters will decide whether he should be replaced. Ballots are already being sent out to the state’s registered voters in some counties, and all voters should have their ballots by next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last gubernatorial recall election in California was back in 2003, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected to replace then-governor Gray Davis. Read on for the key points about the 2021 Newsom recall election, from what’s on your ballot to how voting works — there could be some elements you might not be aware of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you’re interested in why this election is even happening and how we got here, take a look at this \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11884520/your-guide-to-the-gavin-newsom-recall-election\">explainer from our friends at Bay Curious\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Even if you don’t want to recall Newsom, you should still vote\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If more than 50% of the total voters in this recall election say “yes” to recalling Newsom, he will be recalled and whichever replacement candidate gets the most votes will become governor in late October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The replacement candidate won’t need a majority of votes. It also won’t matter how few votes they get. They will become governor of California for the next year and a half, for the rest of Newsom’s term.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If you miss that deadline, you can still conditionally register at any voting location through Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>You might find the recall question you’re voting on confusing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Your ballot has two things to vote on, in the form of two questions: whether you want to recall Newsom, and which candidate you want to succeed him if he is recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Question 1 reads: “Shall GAVIN NEWSOM be recalled (removed) from the office of Governor?” Yes or no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means that if you vote “yes,” you’re voting to recall Newsom and remove him from his position as governor of California. If you vote “no,” you’re voting to keep Newsom as governor of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to clarify this, because the yes/no expression of Question 1 might be confusing to some folks. For example, some might think a “yes” vote means a thumbs-up for Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next on your ballot, Question 2 has a list of 46 candidates who could succeed Newsom if he is recalled. You can choose one. Which leads us to …\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Even if you don’t want to recall Newsom, you can still vote for a hypothetical replacement…\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even if you vote “no” on recalling Newsom on Question 1 of your ballot, you can still answer Question 2 by choosing a candidate to succeed him in the event that the recall effort is successful. And for folks who didn’t vote in the last recall election back in 2003, or don’t remember it, that concept might not be obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re voting “no” on the recall, you might think “if I don’t want Newsom to be recalled, why should I choose his potential replacement?” The answer to that is: If Newsom \u003cem>is\u003c/em> recalled, your choice of candidate will still actively count toward who replaces him as governor. Answering Question 2 by choosing a succession candidate doesn’t affect or invalidate a “no” answer to Question 1 about the recall itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, by voting on Question 2, you’ll have a say in who California’s next governor is if Newsom were to be recalled, even if you vote against the recall. But if you leave Question 2 blank, you won’t have that say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>… and you can’t just write in Newsom’s name\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you’re voting “no” on the recall in Question 1, you may also be tempted to write in Gavin Newsom’s name in Question 2 rather than choosing one of the replacement candidates listed.

If you haven’t been paying attention, there’s an election to recall Governor Gavin Newsom coming up. Here’s a primer with nitty-gritty voting details, some context for the campaign, and what you’ll find on your ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>When Is the Recall Election?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sept. 14, 2021. Local election officials will begin sending out vote-by-mail ballots by Aug. 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Do I Vote?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can vote by mail or in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For voting by mail: If you’re registered to vote, you will receive a mail-in ballot at the \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">address you have registered\u003c/a> with the state. Be sure to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11840343/how-to-make-sure-your-mail-in-ballot-isnt-rejected-in-california\">sign and date your election envelope\u003c/a> before sending it back.

According to the secretary of state: “Since 1913, there have been 179 recall attempts of state elected officials in California. Eleven recall efforts collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot and of those, the elected official was recalled in six instances.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the number of signatures needed to recall a governor in California is among the lowest in the nation. Only Montana and Virginia require a smaller percentage of signatures.

Those efforts failed to collect the 1,495,709 signatures needed (that’s 12% of the number of people who voted in the last gubernatorial election) within 160 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This petition was led by Orrin Heatlie, a retired Yolo county sheriff’s sergeant. Initially, it looked like it would also fail to collect enough signatures, but in November, a Sacramento judge gave recall proponents four additional months to gather signatures. The judge said arguments that the pandemic had inhibited proponents’ ability to gather signatures were “persuasive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11883827\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11883827\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50551_GettyImages-1231446905-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50551_GettyImages-1231446905-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50551_GettyImages-1231446905-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50551_GettyImages-1231446905-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50551_GettyImages-1231446905-qut-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50551_GettyImages-1231446905-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul Von Lutzow signs a petition in a recall effort against California Governor Gavin Newsom near Pasadena City Hall in Pasadena, California, on Feb. 28, 2021.

They didn’t want a well known Democrat to run as a replacement candidate, thinking it would give credence to a recall they’re trying to frame as a Republican power grab. However it leaves Democrats with no recognizable backup candidate if Newsom is recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finance YouTuber Kevin Paffrath is trying to fill that void, positioning himself as the Democratic alternative to Newsom. Notably, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11880918/judge-denies-newsoms-request-to-identify-himself-as-a-democratic-on-recall-ballot\">Newsom won’t be listed as a Democrat\u003c/a> on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see [the Republicans] broken down into two buckets,” says Marzorati. “Traditional politicians, and then entertainers, celebrity types.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the traditional politicians are: former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who was long discussed as a potential opponent for Newsom; former gubernatorial candidate John Cox, who lost to Newsom in 2018; state Assemblymember Kevin Kiley of Rocklin; and former U.S. Rep. Doug Ose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger names in the entertainment set are: Larry Elder, conservative talk radio show host; and Caitlyn Jenner, reality TV star and former Olympian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be interesting to see who Californians voting on these replacement candidates go for: the traditional politicians, or as we saw in 2003 [when Arnold Schwarzenegger beat Gray Davis], someone who is coming from outside the world of politics,” says Marzorati.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 4, Kevin Faulconer, John Cox, Kevin Kiley and Doug Ose faced off in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwEMO-K22uQ\">televised debate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Do the Polls Say?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While polls a few months ago showed the recall was unlikely to be successful, Newsom now has reason to worry. Two new polls, one from the \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/27x9k5qt\">UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies\u003c/a> and the other from \u003ca href=\"https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/california-voters-split-on-recalling-governor-newsom\">Emerson College\u003c/a>, show it’s a close race among likely voters, with Republicans showing more interest in voting than Democrats or those with No Party Preference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the replacement candidates, the polls show Larry Elder, John Cox and Kevin Faulconer leading in the race to replace Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Republicans have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/07/01/1012338448/california-sets-sept-14-as-the-date-for-the-recall-election-targeting-gov-newsom\">cried foul\u003c/a>, but the Sept. 14 election date has stuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Will Voters See on the Ballot?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are two things to vote on:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>“Shall GAVIN NEWSOM be recalled (removed) from the office of Governor?” Yes or no.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Then, there’s a list of 46 candidates who could succeed Newsom if he is recalled.

They didn’t want a well known Democrat to run as a replacement candidate, thinking it would give credence to a recall they’re trying to frame as a Republican power grab. However it leaves Democrats with no recognizable backup candidate if Newsom is recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finance YouTuber Kevin Paffrath is trying to fill that void, positioning himself as the Democratic alternative to Newsom. Notably, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11880918/judge-denies-newsoms-request-to-identify-himself-as-a-democratic-on-recall-ballot\">Newsom won’t be listed as a Democrat\u003c/a> on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see [the Republicans] broken down into two buckets,” says Marzorati. “Traditional politicians, and then entertainers, celebrity types.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the traditional politicians are: former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who was long discussed as a potential opponent for Newsom; former gubernatorial candidate John Cox, who lost to Newsom in 2018; state Assemblymember Kevin Kiley of Rocklin; and former U.S. Rep. Doug Ose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger names in the entertainment set are: Larry Elder, conservative talk radio show host; and Caitlyn Jenner, reality TV star and former Olympian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be interesting to see who Californians voting on these replacement candidates go for: the traditional politicians, or as we saw in 2003 [when Arnold Schwarzenegger beat Gray Davis], someone who is coming from outside the world of politics,” says Marzorati.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 4, Kevin Faulconer, John Cox, Kevin Kiley and Doug Ose faced off in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwEMO-K22uQ\">televised debate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Do the Polls Say?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While polls a few months ago showed the recall was unlikely to be successful, Newsom now has reason to worry. Two new polls, one from the \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/27x9k5qt\">UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies\u003c/a> and the other from \u003ca href=\"https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/california-voters-split-on-recalling-governor-newsom\">Emerson College\u003c/a>, show it’s a close race among likely voters, with Republicans showing more interest in voting than Democrats or those with No Party Preference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California Gov. Gavin Newsom has a simple way to beat back the recall election that could force him out of his job: Get Democrats to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it may not be as easy as it sounds. Democratic registration almost doubles that of Republicans in the state, but party leaders are alarmed because Republicans appear more eager to vote, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101884707/new-poll-of-likely-voters-shows-newsom-recall-vote-is-close\">is backed up by polling\u003c/a>. Some Democrats might not be paying attention because they are convinced Newsom is headed toward an easy victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The kind of voter Newsom needs to connect with is 37-year-old barber Dwayne Speed of Sacramento, who is a registered Democrat but has been thinking about switching to independent. He felt Newsom “pushed his own personal agenda” during the pandemic. But he isn’t convinced by recall supporters either and hasn't decided how he will vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to know every single basis that they’re trying to recall him on,” Speed said. “Nobody’s going to have a job and do it 100% perfectly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interviews with about 20 voters across Sacramento, Fresno and Los Angeles reveal the challenges Newsom faces just two weeks before ballots start arriving in voters' mailboxes ahead of the Sept. 14 contest. While a handful of voters had decisive plans to vote for Newsom, many were aware of the recall but hadn't yet formed an opinion, did not know when the election was scheduled or were lukewarm on Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Newsom’s challenges: Voters aren’t used to elections in odd-numbered years, and certainly not in September. Many voters have turned away from television platforms that carry ads, and resurgent coronavirus rates could make people unwilling to answer a knock at the door from a campaign worker. But every voter will get a ballot in the mail, giving them an easy opportunity to participate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall effort was launched by novice Republican activists last year before the pandemic took hold, and they successfully gathered more than the 1.5 million signatures required by state law to place it on the ballot. Their effort was initially seen as a long shot that drew little attention. But signatures spiked after Newsom was caught dining out at the high-end French Laundry restaurant in Northern California for a birthday party while urging people to stay home and avoid gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles, 24-year-old Nick Yi, a registered independent who is between jobs, said he hasn’t been paying much attention to the recall, in part because he has been staying away from news to avoid accounts of Asian hate crimes, which he finds upsetting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11881560\" label=\"More Recall Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He expects to vote and tends to lean Democratic. But he doesn’t have a strong impression of Newsom, calling him someone who is passionate and “Republicans don’t like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Newsom's team looks to engage voters like Yi, they are spending significant time \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11882945/recall-money-wars-what-do-newsoms-million-dollar-donors-want\">branding the effort as a partisan contest\u003c/a>. The majority of his TV ads have made a case against the recall rather than one for Newsom, branding it as a “Republican power grab.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One ad shows video of people storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. In another, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts tells voters “we've seen Trump Republicans across the country attacking election results and the right to vote. Now they're coming to grab power in California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are openly sounding the alarm. Juan Rodriguez, campaign manager of the anti-recall effort, told The Associated Press he is “very concerned\" about turnout.

Gavin Newsom has a simple way to beat back the recall election that could force him out of his job: Get Democrats to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it may not be as easy as it sounds. Democratic registration almost doubles that of Republicans in the state, but party leaders are alarmed because Republicans appear more eager to vote, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101884707/new-poll-of-likely-voters-shows-newsom-recall-vote-is-close\">is backed up by polling\u003c/a>. Some Democrats might not be paying attention because they are convinced Newsom is headed toward an easy victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The kind of voter Newsom needs to connect with is 37-year-old barber Dwayne Speed of Sacramento, who is a registered Democrat but has been thinking about switching to independent. He felt Newsom “pushed his own personal agenda” during the pandemic. But he isn’t convinced by recall supporters either and hasn't decided how he will vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to know every single basis that they’re trying to recall him on,” Speed said. “Nobody’s going to have a job and do it 100% perfectly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interviews with about 20 voters across Sacramento, Fresno and Los Angeles reveal the challenges Newsom faces just two weeks before ballots start arriving in voters' mailboxes ahead of the Sept. 14 contest. While a handful of voters had decisive plans to vote for Newsom, many were aware of the recall but hadn't yet formed an opinion, did not know when the election was scheduled or were lukewarm on Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many voters have turned away from television platforms that carry ads, and resurgent coronavirus rates could make people unwilling to answer a knock at the door from a campaign worker. But every voter will get a ballot in the mail, giving them an easy opportunity to participate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall effort was launched by novice Republican activists last year before the pandemic took hold, and they successfully gathered more than the 1.5 million signatures required by state law to place it on the ballot. Their effort was initially seen as a long shot that drew little attention. But signatures spiked after Newsom was caught dining out at the high-end French Laundry restaurant in Northern California for a birthday party while urging people to stay home and avoid gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles, 24-year-old Nick Yi, a registered independent who is between jobs, said he hasn’t been paying much attention to the recall, in part because he has been staying away from news to avoid accounts of Asian hate crimes, which he finds upsetting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a TV spot that hit the state’s airwaves Wednesday night, U.S. Sen.

Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1419715050529460225?s=20\">announced\u003c/a> Monday that health care workers and state employees must be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing and wear masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employees of hospitals, nursing homes, dentists’ offices, doctors’ offices and other health care settings will have to comply with the requirements by Aug. 23. In addition, all employees of state agencies will be subjected to a verification process that will be mostly in place by Aug. 2. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short of a vaccination mandate, the new policy comes as the delta variant has become the dominant strain in California — approximately 80% of the COVID-19 cases sequenced were of the delta type, according to the state. Experts say the delta variant is \u003ca href=\"https://health.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-information/delta-variant.html\">highly contagious and poses a serious threat\u003c/a> to unvaccinated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 3,000 people infected with COVID-19 are hospitalized in California, which is comparable to late October 2020, before the vaccine was available. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are at a point in this pandemic where individuals’ choice to not get vaccinated is now impacting the rest of us in a profound, devastating and deadly way,” Newsom said during his announcement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Hospital Association voiced strong support for the governor’s order, calling the requirements “important and necessary steps that must be taken in this extraordinary situation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one of the state’s largest health care unions declined to comment directly on the new policy. The union prefers “education and outreach” over mandatory vaccination or testing, said Renée Saldaña, press secretary for SEIU-UHW, which represents about 100,000 California health care workers, including certified nursing assistants, respiratory therapists, hospital cooks and janitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saldaña also declined to comment on what the union would do if health care providers require mandatory vaccinations for workers, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/workforce/hospitals-health-systems-mandating-vaccines-for-workersjune17.html\">some hospital systems have done\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland\"]‘Our education leaders, our religious leaders, they should say, ‘We’re going to require this’ … same thing with gyms, that’s an obvious place we should be doing it.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Veterans Affairs on Monday said \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/26/us/politics/veterans-affairs-coronavirus-covid-19.html\">it would require COVID-19 vaccinations\u003c/a> for some of its workers, including doctors and nurses. It is the first federal agency to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, an Oakland Democrat, said she is exploring legislation to clarify that employers can mandate that their workers get shots. Experts say it’s a tough ask, but not impossible or illegal. Employers can require vaccines, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.dfeh.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2020/03/DFEH-Employment-Information-on-COVID-19-FAQ_ENG.pdf\">cannot discriminate\u003c/a> against people who aren’t vaccinated because of a disability or religion, according to the state’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wicks said she’s heard from small businesses owners who are interested in mandating vaccines among their employees but are afraid of being sued. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Beyond legislation, I think what we need is a cultural shift around this idea of proof of vaccination,” Wicks said. “Our education leaders, our religious leaders, they should say, ‘We’re going to require this’ … same thing with gyms, that’s an obvious place we should be doing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California eliminated its colored-tier system for businesses when it reopened on June 15. An \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/07/19/californias-delta-covid-surge-would-vault-a-dozen-or-more-counties-to-widespread-purple-tier/\">analysis\u003c/a> by the San Francisco Chronicle estimated that about a dozen counties would be in the most restrictive “purple” tier if those rules still applied. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea that we would be in a purple tier, which means schools and indoor dining would be closed, to me that was very alarming, it was a wake-up call,” Wicks said. “We need to consider further measures to ensure people are getting vaccinated.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shira Shafir, a professor of epidemiology at UCLA, said from a public health perspective, it is extremely valuable for employers to require their workers to get vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the risk of transmission, it is really important to use all public health prevention measures we have at our disposal,” she said. “Vaccines protect against the delta variant, but they only work if people get them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Shira Shafir, UCLA\"]‘Given the risk of transmission, it is really important to use all public health prevention measures we have at our disposal.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Requiring — or in the case of the state, strongly encouraging — health workers to get vaccinated helps protect people who are immunocompromised or older, because even if vaccinated, their bodies may not be able to build strong protection, Shafir said. It also helps protect children under 12 who cannot yet be vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 5.3% of all COVID-19 tests are coming back positive as of Monday; about six weeks ago, the state reopened its economy with a positivity rate under 1%. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversations around stricter vaccination policies and mandates in the workplace have been gaining traction in California. At least two Bay Area counties, San Francisco and Santa Clara, had already announced \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Santa-Clara-to-require-county-workers-to-get-16335632.php\">plans to require vaccinations among county workers\u003c/a>. San Francisco is also requiring that workers in high-risk settings, including hospitals, nursing homes and jails, be vaccinated by Sept. 15. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, three public health officials in the Bay Area announced their \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-07-23/bay-area-health-officials-urge-employers-to-require-workers-to-be-vaccinated\">support for private employers\u003c/a> to also require vaccination among their workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another large employer, the University of California system, recently \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/university-of-california-finalizes-plan-to-require-vaccines-regardless-of-full-fda-approval/658134\">finalized its vaccination policy\u003c/a>, which will require that students, staff and faculty be fully vaccinated before the start of fall classes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters’ Barbara Feder Ostrov contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
