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

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.",

She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

She helped establish the female-led encampment in late October. Bee said she and her daughter have been without shelter for nine months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had to go all the way to Hayward to find a shelter that would take us, and I work in Oakland, my daughter goes to school in Oakland,” she said. “That was not sustainable for our lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women living on the streets face heightened risks and vulnerabilities, said Bee, who has squatted in abandoned houses and lived in a parked camper since losing her Oakland apartment last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“Every night men would find out that we’d be in a camper by ourselves, and they’d try to break into the camper,” she said. “Being at this village, we’ve not been broken into. No one’s trying to rape us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court, the homeless group pointed to another federal case decided earlier this year — \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-idaho-homeless/prosecuting-homeless-for-sleeping-outside-may-violate-us-constitution-ruling-idUSKCN1LK26U\">Martin v. Boise\u003c/a> — in which the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it unconstitutional for cities to prosecute the homeless for sleeping outside when not enough shelter space had been provided. Doing so, the court ruled, is a violation of the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the matter,” Judge Marsha Berzon wrote for the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in court this week in Oakland, Deputy City Attorney Jamilah Jefferson told the judge that the city now has enough shelter beds for residents, and so would not be violating their rights in evicting them. Moving them to a shelter is legal, she argued, because it does not criminalize the residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his ruling, Gilliam agreed with the city, writing that the Martin case “does not establish a constitutional right to occupy public property indefinitely at the Plaintiff’s option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Joshua Piovia-Scott, an attorney representing the homeless group, countered that there is a notable gap between stated policy and actual implementation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens in reality on the street is very different than what the city of Oakland says in its policies,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We submitted dozens of sworn declarations from people who are unhoused, who have been subject to arrest, harassment, citation, have had their belongings and their personal property destroyed, when this same type of notice to vacate has been served on them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The homeless group also argues that the shelter beds the city is offering don’t provide any kind of a realistic solution. Occupancy time limits, and rules against staying with minors or pets, they say, are some of the restrictions that make the shelters an unrealistic option for many homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam, however, told the courtroom that his job was not to judge the city’s policies, but rather to rule on their legality. In his ruling, he said the city must find shelter beds for all 13 residents currently located at the site in order to proceed with a legal eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as Oakland pointed out in its case, there is no constitutional right to shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city must give residents 72 hours to remove their belongings from the encampment before being evicted.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Boise\u003c/a> — in which the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it unconstitutional for cities to prosecute the homeless for sleeping outside when not enough shelter space had been provided. Doing so, the court ruled, is a violation of the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the matter,” Judge Marsha Berzon wrote for the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in court this week in Oakland, Deputy City Attorney Jamilah Jefferson told the judge that the city now has enough shelter beds for residents, and so would not be violating their rights in evicting them.

Occupancy time limits, and rules against staying with minors or pets, they say, are some of the restrictions that make the shelters an unrealistic option for many homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliam, however, told the courtroom that his job was not to judge the city’s policies, but rather to rule on their legality. In his ruling, he said the city must find shelter beds for all 13 residents currently located at the site in order to proceed with a legal eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as Oakland pointed out in its case, there is no constitutional right to shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city must give residents 72 hours to remove their belongings from the encampment before being evicted.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Once-bright prayer flags hanging above the entrance have faded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz opened the temporary camp in March. Initially, the camp cost around $90,000 a month. Santa Cruz County’s Homeless Action Partnership helped fund the camp later on, at around $75,000 a month. The partnership ultimately made the decision to close the camp.

Santa Cruz had planned to replace it with another temporary shelter by now, an indoor one that followed the same model. It was all part of a three-part plan that included two temporary shelters and then a permanent year-round one. But the city says the second shelter hasn’t materialized yet because of community opposition over its location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susie O’Hara works for the city and helped set up River Street Camp. She has been trying to secure a second site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We hear from just about everybody that there has to be a solution and that we have to come to that eventually. But when you get to the conversation about where that solution should be sited, we do run into challenges,” O’Hara says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a location for an indoor shelter, the city is recommending the Salvation Army-run Winter Shelter Program at the VFW in Live Oak. It’s an overnight-only shelter program that opened on Nov. 15. Doors open daily around 5:30 in the evening and everyone has to be out by 7:30 the next morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VFW offers 60 beds; it’s enough space to house everyone at River Street Camp. But Hunsaker says it’s not easy to pack up and leave every morning. She says she probably won’t go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a daily thing. You’ve got to show up at a certain time. Whoa, that’s not this. I have no plan. I have nowhere to go, I have nowhere to go. So I’m back to the square one,” Hunsaker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the city didn’t establish an indoor shelter this winter, it hasn’t given up on that idea. It’s still working to find a location as well as another location for a permanent, year-round shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early next year, the state is expected to allocate over $10 million to Santa Cruz County’s Homeless Action Partnership to address the needs of the homeless community. Santa Cruz is hoping some of that money can go toward a permanent shelter.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Santa Cruz had planned to replace it with another temporary shelter by now, an indoor one that followed the same model. It was all part of a three-part plan that included two temporary shelters and then a permanent year-round one. But the city says the second shelter hasn’t materialized yet because of community opposition over its location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susie O’Hara works for the city and helped set up River Street Camp. She has been trying to secure a second site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We hear from just about everybody that there has to be a solution and that we have to come to that eventually. But when you get to the conversation about where that solution should be sited, we do run into challenges,” O’Hara says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a location for an indoor shelter, the city is recommending the Salvation Army-run Winter Shelter Program at the VFW in Live Oak. It’s an overnight-only shelter program that opened on Nov. 15. Doors open daily around 5:30 in the evening and everyone has to be out by 7:30 the next morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VFW offers 60 beds; it’s enough space to house everyone at River Street Camp. But Hunsaker says it’s not easy to pack up and leave every morning. She says she probably won’t go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a daily thing. You’ve got to show up at a certain time. Whoa, that’s not this. I have no plan. I have nowhere to go, I have nowhere to go. So I’m back to the square one,” Hunsaker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the city didn’t establish an indoor shelter this winter, it hasn’t given up on that idea. It’s still working to find a location as well as another location for a permanent, year-round shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early next year, the state is expected to allocate over $10 million to Santa Cruz County’s Homeless Action Partnership to address the needs of the homeless community. Santa Cruz is hoping some of that money can go toward a permanent shelter.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
