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.",

But California will play an even more outsized role for two reasons: the fact it will award more delegates that day than any other state, and the fact that its early voting ballots will be mailed out the same day as the Iowa caucuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are treating it like an early primary state\" on the same importance level as New Hampshire, Iowa, and the other traditional momentum-setting first-wave states, said Vermont Sen. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/18/702708256/bernie-sanders-pledges-to-do-a-better-job-of-explaining-socialism\">Bernie Sanders\u003c/a>' campaign manager, Faiz Shakir. \"Campaigning there early and often, and making a strong play to try and win that state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California power brokers are relishing their newfound importance. \"We're excited that we matter for more than money,\" said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who considered but ultimately passed on his own White House run. \"Even though we're not trained like Iowa or New Hampshire to interview all the candidates, we're learning that culture of being able to ask people, 'Great. What are you going to do for us specifically here in California?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti has met with several 2020 candidates already, eating tacos with former Vice President Joe Biden and appearing with South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, among others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A boon for Harris \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Sen. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/14/702707072/in-her-pitch-for-president-kamala-harris-focuses-on-criminal-justice-inequality\">Kamala Harris\u003c/a> will hold a distinct advantage on March 3: She's run and won three statewide elections, and has high name recognition among California voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has made repeated trips to her home state amid campaign stops in more traditional early states like Iowa and South Carolina. She kicked off her campaign with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/28/689237323/kamala-harris-kicks-off-presidential-campaign-with-oakland-rally\">a massive rally in her hometown of Oakland\u003c/a>, and recently held another big event in Los Angeles, where she now lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early weeks of her campaign, Harris rolled out an overwhelming slate of endorsements from California politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, former Sen. Barbara Boxer, whose seat Harris now holds, says home turf advantage will be limited. \"People know her better than they know, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/19/703570750/amy-klobuchar-runs-on-a-record-of-accomplishments-including-with-republicans\">Amy Klobuchar\u003c/a> or Michael Bennet,\" Boxer said, listing two other U.S. senators in the crowded primary field. \"But if you look at the latest polls, she's not leading those polls. There are others in front of her. So I think it's wide-open here and she's going to have to fight for those votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's in the field, and she's going to be a big factor, but it's wide-open,\" Boxer added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But several other presidential campaigns worry that California's massive size and prohibitively expensive TV advertising costs will lead to a race that's anything but wide-open, and that only brand names with big budgets will be able to truly compete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR spoke to multiple presidential campaigns about the California primary, and strategists repeatedly circled back to just three candidates they think, right now, could make viable runs for the state next March: Harris, Sanders and Biden. Several campaign advisers pointed out the obvious factor more than six months before primary and caucus voting begins: that early wins in Iowa or New Hampshire could vault another candidate to the top of that list, even as millions of California voters cast ballots early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buttigieg has made repeated appearances in California in recent months, mostly for big-ticket fundraising events. And many candidates are packing their weekend schedules with other forums and campaign stops, in addition to the cattle call at the state party's San Francisco convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'A very issues-oriented state' \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer, who herself emerged from a crowded primary field when she first won the California Senate seat in 1992, said candidates will need more than money to compete there. \"It's a very issues-oriented state,\" she said. \"It's not a state that just says, 'Oh, I know her name or I know his name.'

But California will play an even more outsized role for two reasons: the fact it will award more delegates that day than any other state, and the fact that its early voting ballots will be mailed out the same day as the Iowa caucuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are treating it like an early primary state\" on the same importance level as New Hampshire, Iowa, and the other traditional momentum-setting first-wave states, said Vermont Sen. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/18/702708256/bernie-sanders-pledges-to-do-a-better-job-of-explaining-socialism\">Bernie Sanders\u003c/a>' campaign manager, Faiz Shakir. \"Campaigning there early and often, and making a strong play to try and win that state.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California power brokers are relishing their newfound importance. \"We're excited that we matter for more than money,\" said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who considered but ultimately passed on his own White House run. \"Even though we're not trained like Iowa or New Hampshire to interview all the candidates, we're learning that culture of being able to ask people, 'Great. What are you going to do for us specifically here in California?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti has met with several 2020 candidates already, eating tacos with former Vice President Joe Biden and appearing with South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Washington Gov.

She kicked off her campaign with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/28/689237323/kamala-harris-kicks-off-presidential-campaign-with-oakland-rally\">a massive rally in her hometown of Oakland\u003c/a>, and recently held another big event in Los Angeles, where she now lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early weeks of her campaign, Harris rolled out an overwhelming slate of endorsements from California politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, former Sen. Barbara Boxer, whose seat Harris now holds, says home turf advantage will be limited. \"People know her better than they know, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/19/703570750/amy-klobuchar-runs-on-a-record-of-accomplishments-including-with-republicans\">Amy Klobuchar\u003c/a> or Michael Bennet,\" Boxer said, listing two other U.S. senators in the crowded primary field. \"But if you look at the latest polls, she's not leading those polls. There are others in front of her. So I think it's wide-open here and she's going to have to fight for those votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's in the field, and she's going to be a big factor, but it's wide-open,\" Boxer added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But several other presidential campaigns worry that California's massive size and prohibitively expensive TV advertising costs will lead to a race that's anything but wide-open, and that only brand names with big budgets will be able to truly compete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR spoke to multiple presidential campaigns about the California primary, and strategists repeatedly circled back to just three candidates they think, right now, could make viable runs for the state next March: Harris, Sanders and Biden. Several campaign advisers pointed out the obvious factor more than six months before primary and caucus voting begins: that early wins in Iowa or New Hampshire could vault another candidate to the top of that list, even as millions of California voters cast ballots early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buttigieg has made repeated appearances in California in recent months, mostly for big-ticket fundraising events. And many candidates are packing their weekend schedules with other forums and campaign stops, in addition to the cattle call at the state party's San Francisco convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'A very issues-oriented state' \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer, who herself emerged from a crowded primary field when she first won the California Senate seat in 1992, said candidates will need more than money to compete there. \"It's a very issues-oriented state,\" she said. \"It's not a state that just says, 'Oh, I know her name or I know his name.' They're going to want to know what you're fighting for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it just so happens that many of the top California political issues are the same ones currently motivating Democrats all over the country: immigration and climate change, in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti said he wants to hear more about those two topics — as well as housing affordability and infrastructure.

"labelTerm": {},
"content": "\u003cp>Sex work is illegal in much of the United States, but the debate over whether it should be decriminalized is heating up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former California Attorney General and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris recently came out \u003ca href=\"https://www.theroot.com/exclusive-kamala-harris-calls-for-decriminalization-of-1832883951\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in favor\u003c/a> of decriminalizing it, as long as it’s between two consenting adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate is hardly new, and it’s fraught with emotions. Opponents of decriminalization say it’s an exploitative industry that preys on the weak. But many activists and academics say decriminalization would help protect sex workers, and would even be a public health benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RJ Thompson wants to push back against the idea that sex work is inherently victimizing. He says for him it was liberating: Thompson had recently graduated from law school and started working at a nonprofit when the recession hit. In 2008, he got laid off with no warning and no severance, and he had massive student loan debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson became an escort. “I made exponentially more money than I ever could have in my legal profession,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the possibility of arrest was often on his mind. And he says for many sex workers, it’s a constant fear. “Many street-based workers are migrants or transgender people who have limited options in the formal economies,” he says. “And so they do sex work for survival. And it puts them in a very vulnerable position, the fact that it’s criminalized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson is now a human rights lawyer and the managing director of the \u003ca href=\"https://swp.urbanjustice.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sex Workers Project\u003c/a> at the Urban Justice Center. It’s among several organizations that are advocating bills to \u003ca href=\"https://decrimny.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decriminalize sex work\u003c/a> in New York City and New York state. They already have the support of \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Group-of-New-York-Lawmakers-Call-for-Legalization-of-Prostitution--506331401.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">various state lawmakers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to its clandestine nature in America, it’s extremely hard to find reliable numbers about the sex trade. But one thing is for sure: It’s a multibillion dollar industry. In 2007, a \u003ca href=\"http://apps.urban.org/features/theHustle/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">government-sponsored report\u003c/a> looked at several major U.S. cities and found that sex work brings in around $290 million a year in Atlanta alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Economist Allison Schrager says the internet has increased demand and supply. “Women who pre-internet (or men) who wouldn’t walk the streets or sign with a madam or an agency now can sell sex work, sometimes even on the side to supplement other sources of income,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happens when you take this massive underground economy and decriminalize it? Nevada might offer a clue. Brothels are legal there, in certain counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Schrager’s book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/564814/an-economist-walks-into-a-brothel-by-allison-schrager/9780525533962/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">“An Economist Walks Into A Brothel”\u003c/a>, she investigated the financial workings of the Nevada brothel industry. She found that on average it’s 300 percent more expensive to hire a sex worker in a Nevada brothel than in an illegal setting. Schrager thinks it’s because workers and customers prefer to pay for the safety and health checks of a brothel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex work is risky for everyone,” she says. “You take on a lot of risk as a customer too. And when you’re working in a brothel you are assured complete anonymity. They’ve been fully screened for diseases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many activists and academics say decriminalization would help protect sex workers and could also have public health benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/17/when-rhode-island-accidentally-legalized-prostitution-rape-and-stis-decreased-sharply/?utm_term=.999163723efa\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the case of Rhode Island\u003c/a>. A loophole made sex work, practiced behind closed doors, legal there between 2003 and 2009. Baylor University economist Scott Cunningham and his colleagues found that during those years the sex trade grew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cunningham points to some \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w20281\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">other important findings\u003c/a>: During that time period the number of rapes reported to police in the state declined by more than a third. And gonorrhea among all women declined by 39 percent. Of course, changes in prostitution laws might not be the only cause, but Cunningham says, “the trade-off is if you make it safer to some degree, you grow the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rhode Island made sex work illegal again in 2009, in part under pressure from some anti-trafficking advocates. That’s the thing: The debate about sex work always gets linked to trafficking — people who get forced into it against their will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Economist Axel Dreher from the University of Heidelberg in Germany teamed up with the London School of Economics to analyze \u003ca href=\"https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/45198/1/Neumayer_Legalized_Prostitution_Increase_2012.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the link between trafficking and prostitution laws\u003c/a> in 150 countries. “If prostitution is legal, there is more human trafficking simply because the market is larger,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a controversial study: Even Dreher admits that reliable data on sex trafficking is really hard to find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human rights organizations including \u003ca href=\"https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol30/4062/2016/en/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amnesty International \u003c/a>support decriminalization.

Opponents of decriminalization say it’s an exploitative industry that preys on the weak. But many activists and academics say decriminalization would help protect sex workers, and would even be a public health benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RJ Thompson wants to push back against the idea that sex work is inherently victimizing. He says for him it was liberating: Thompson had recently graduated from law school and started working at a nonprofit when the recession hit. In 2008, he got laid off with no warning and no severance, and he had massive student loan debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson became an escort. “I made exponentially more money than I ever could have in my legal profession,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And he says for many sex workers, it’s a constant fear. “Many street-based workers are migrants or transgender people who have limited options in the formal economies,” he says. “And so they do sex work for survival. And it puts them in a very vulnerable position, the fact that it’s criminalized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thompson is now a human rights lawyer and the managing director of the \u003ca href=\"https://swp.urbanjustice.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sex Workers Project\u003c/a> at the Urban Justice Center. It’s among several organizations that are advocating bills to \u003ca href=\"https://decrimny.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decriminalize sex work\u003c/a> in New York City and New York state. They already have the support of \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Group-of-New-York-Lawmakers-Call-for-Legalization-of-Prostitution--506331401.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">various state lawmakers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to its clandestine nature in America, it’s extremely hard to find reliable numbers about the sex trade. But one thing is for sure: It’s a multibillion dollar industry. In 2007, a \u003ca href=\"http://apps.urban.org/features/theHustle/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">government-sponsored report\u003c/a> looked at several major U.S. cities and found that sex work brings in around $290 million a year in Atlanta alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Economist Allison Schrager says the internet has increased demand and supply. “Women who pre-internet (or men) who wouldn’t walk the streets or sign with a madam or an agency now can sell sex work, sometimes even on the side to supplement other sources of income,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happens when you take this massive underground economy and decriminalize it? Nevada might offer a clue. Brothels are legal there, in certain counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Schrager’s book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/564814/an-economist-walks-into-a-brothel-by-allison-schrager/9780525533962/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">“An Economist Walks Into A Brothel”\u003c/a>, she investigated the financial workings of the Nevada brothel industry. She found that on average it’s 300 percent more expensive to hire a sex worker in a Nevada brothel than in an illegal setting. Schrager thinks it’s because workers and customers prefer to pay for the safety and health checks of a brothel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex work is risky for everyone,” she says. “You take on a lot of risk as a customer too. And when you’re working in a brothel you are assured complete anonymity. They’ve been fully screened for diseases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many activists and academics say decriminalization would help protect sex workers and could also have public health benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/17/when-rhode-island-accidentally-legalized-prostitution-rape-and-stis-decreased-sharply/?utm_term=.999163723efa\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the case of Rhode Island\u003c/a>. A loophole made sex work, practiced behind closed doors, legal there between 2003 and 2009. Baylor University economist Scott Cunningham and his colleagues found that during those years the sex trade grew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cunningham points to some \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w20281\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">other important findings\u003c/a>: During that time period the number of rapes reported to police in the state declined by more than a third. And gonorrhea among all women declined by 39 percent. Of course, changes in prostitution laws might not be the only cause, but Cunningham says, “the trade-off is if you make it safer to some degree, you grow the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rhode Island made sex work illegal again in 2009, in part under pressure from some anti-trafficking advocates. That’s the thing: The debate about sex work always gets linked to trafficking — people who get forced into it against their will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Economist Axel Dreher from the University of Heidelberg in Germany teamed up with the London School of Economics to analyze \u003ca href=\"https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/45198/1/Neumayer_Legalized_Prostitution_Increase_2012.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the link between trafficking and prostitution laws\u003c/a> in 150 countries. “If prostitution is legal, there is more human trafficking simply because the market is larger,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a controversial study: Even Dreher admits that reliable data on sex trafficking is really hard to find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human rights organizations including \u003ca href=\"https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol30/4062/2016/en/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amnesty International \u003c/a>support decriminalization.

That ambition would eventually take her from the San Francisco district attorney's office to the California attorney general's office to the Senate. Now she hopes it will take her to the White House. She's seeking to not only become the first woman to be president, but the first black woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing inequality is a top priority for her. That includes her \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/lefts-trump-sized-tax-plans/573328/\">LIFT the Middle Class Act\u003c/a>, a tax cut plan that would give families making less than $100,000 annually a credit of up to $500 a month, saying that \"when we lift up the economic status of families, neighborhoods thrive, society thrives. All of us benefit.\" She is also taking on the controversial idea of reparations, which would provide a form of compensation to those harmed by past discrimination, such as slavery and Jim Crow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is the second 2020 presidential candidate NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> has interviewed for its Opening Arguments conversations exploring presidential hopefuls' central messages. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/07/700552687/cory-booker-promises-to-bring-america-together-but-how\">The first was Sen.

That includes having sat down with children who have dealt with the worst of crimes that you can imagine and understanding that you can never prove their cases until you spend a significant amount of time with them, so that they trust you as an adult [whom] they don't know to tell their story, OK? People in Washington were saying, 'Expedite these cases, get them done in two weeks.' For children who — I will never forget the images — who were sitting on a chair, their feet were dangling. That's how small they were. And we were going to expedite these cases to have them tell a perfect stranger in a language or a dialect they don't speak about the trauma that they were experiencing in their home country, which required them to seek refuge in ours. ...\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"In fact, my first bill in the United States Senate was Access to Counsel Act to ensure that none of the people — and then that was also the Muslim refugees after the Muslim ban — to make sure that nobody would be denied access to counsel when they're going through these hearings around refugee status and around asylum. ... \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"I disagree with any policy that would turn America's back on people who are fleeing harm. I frankly believe that it is contrary to everything that we have symbolically and actually said we stand for. And so I would not enforce a law that would reject people and turn them away without giving them a fair and due process to determine if we should give them asylum and refuge.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris draws directly on her personal experiences in California in explaining her approach to immigration. Her focus contrasts with the criminality often emphasized by President Trump. She told NPR, for example, about children she met on a bus in Marietta, Calif. — unaccompanied minors who had been sent by their parents away from high-crime areas in Central America, who were being \"exposed to unknown perils, [but] their parents decided that was better than them staying where they were. So that tells you how bad it was where they were.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her use of the phrase \"would not enforce a law\" is prime for Republican criticism. Yet immigrant rights advocates have argued the administration's policies violate international human rights law, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702597006/-remain-in-mexico-immigration-policy-expands-but-slowly\">a program that forces asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico\u003c/a> for their assigned court dates in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On Reparations as a Health Issue\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"If we start to examine what have been the outcomes of the history of slavery and legal segregation and discrimination, you can look at the fact — and anyone can tell you who's a mental health specialist — that when people have experienced trauma, and it has been undiagnosed and untreated, you will see certain public health outcomes. And so if you recognize the trauma that existed, and we want to end what are avoidable health outcomes, you need to put resources — and direct resources, extra resources — into those communities that have experienced that trauma. ...\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"The term 'reparations,' it means different things to different people.

In this interview, though, Harris emphasizes a disparity in health outcomes that she attributes to \"environmental\" rather than genetic factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is centuries of slavery — violence associated with slavery,\" Harris said. \"There was never any real intervention to break up what had been generations of people experiencing the highest forms of trauma, and trauma undiagnosed and untreated leads to physiological outcomes.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

That ambition would eventually take her from the San Francisco district attorney's office to the California attorney general's office to the Senate. Now she hopes it will take her to the White House. She's seeking to not only become the first woman to be president, but the first black woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing inequality is a top priority for her. That includes her \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/lefts-trump-sized-tax-plans/573328/\">LIFT the Middle Class Act\u003c/a>, a tax cut plan that would give families making less than $100,000 annually a credit of up to $500 a month, saying that \"when we lift up the economic status of families, neighborhoods thrive, society thrives. All of us benefit.\" She is also taking on the controversial idea of reparations, which would provide a form of compensation to those harmed by past discrimination, such as slavery and Jim Crow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is the second 2020 presidential candidate NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> has interviewed for its Opening Arguments conversations exploring presidential hopefuls' central messages. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/07/700552687/cory-booker-promises-to-bring-america-together-but-how\">The first was Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inskeep interviewed Harris about her time as California attorney general, her views on immigration, criminal justice issues and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/702707072/703287549\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On Immigration Policy and Enforcement\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"Now let me tell you again about my background as a prosecutor. That includes having sat down with children who have dealt with the worst of crimes that you can imagine and understanding that you can never prove their cases until you spend a significant amount of time with them, so that they trust you as an adult [whom] they don't know to tell their story, OK? People in Washington were saying, 'Expedite these cases, get them done in two weeks.' For children who — I will never forget the images — who were sitting on a chair, their feet were dangling. That's how small they were. And we were going to expedite these cases to have them tell a perfect stranger in a language or a dialect they don't speak about the trauma that they were experiencing in their home country, which required them to seek refuge in ours. ...\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"In fact, my first bill in the United States Senate was Access to Counsel Act to ensure that none of the people — and then that was also the Muslim refugees after the Muslim ban — to make sure that nobody would be denied access to counsel when they're going through these hearings around refugee status and around asylum. ... \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"I disagree with any policy that would turn America's back on people who are fleeing harm. I frankly believe that it is contrary to everything that we have symbolically and actually said we stand for. And so I would not enforce a law that would reject people and turn them away without giving them a fair and due process to determine if we should give them asylum and refuge.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris draws directly on her personal experiences in California in explaining her approach to immigration. Her focus contrasts with the criminality often emphasized by President Trump. She told NPR, for example, about children she met on a bus in Marietta, Calif. — unaccompanied minors who had been sent by their parents away from high-crime areas in Central America, who were being \"exposed to unknown perils, [but] their parents decided that was better than them staying where they were. So that tells you how bad it was where they were.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her use of the phrase \"would not enforce a law\" is prime for Republican criticism. Yet immigrant rights advocates have argued the administration's policies violate international human rights law, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702597006/-remain-in-mexico-immigration-policy-expands-but-slowly\">a program that forces asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico\u003c/a> for their assigned court dates in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And so if you recognize the trauma that existed, and we want to end what are avoidable health outcomes, you need to put resources — and direct resources, extra resources — into those communities that have experienced that trauma. ...\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"The term 'reparations,' it means different things to different people.

In this interview, though, Harris emphasizes a disparity in health outcomes that she attributes to \"environmental\" rather than genetic factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is centuries of slavery — violence associated with slavery,\" Harris said. \"There was never any real intervention to break up what had been generations of people experiencing the highest forms of trauma, and trauma undiagnosed and untreated leads to physiological outcomes.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

More than half a dozen candidates showed up to the annual music, arts and technology convention.

Elizabeth Warren hopped on stage. She had just rallied in Queens, N.Y., where Amazon pulled its plan to build a new headquarters in the face of protest. Now, at a conference full of tech workers, she came with the same message: Break up the tech giants; they’re killing competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to keep that marketplace competitive, not let a giant who has an incredible information advantage and a manipulative advantage be able to snuff you out,” she said at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2019/02/25/texas-tribune-sxsw-conversations-america/\">political event\u003c/a> sponsored by SXSW and \u003cem>The Texas Tribune\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/702102576/702147941\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon is her Exhibit One. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The popular site for shopping is increasingly becoming the maker of products. AmazonBasics offers everything from bed frames and yoga mats to jumper cables. Warren is against a single company running the marketplace and manufacturing the goods sold because, according to her, that’s too much power in too few hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While consumers benefit from low prices, small businesses are losing. The audience broke into laughter and thunderous applause when Warren said that under her leadership, the losers would change. “The monopolist will make fewer monopoly profits. Boo hoo!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of scandal — privacy violations, election interference, mega hacks — Silicon Valley has emerged, early on, as a presidential campaign issue. Warren’s call is pushing her party to the left, a place where many Democrats aren’t ready to go given the party’s reliance on tech donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 2018 midterms, \u003ca href=\"https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.php?ind=B\">tech companies clearly favored Democrats\u003c/a> over the GOP: 69 percent of Amazon money went to Democratic federal campaigns, as did 79 percent of Facebook money and 83 percent of Alphabet (parent company of Google) money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be awkward,” said Sheila Krumholz. “They’re doing a dance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krumholz directs the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign finance. The dance is this: appeal to voters to raise money online, but don’t burn bridges with top executives. “Not everyone will be able to depend on a strategy that deploys populist messages aimed at driving so many small online donations that together they provide a huge portion of the funds,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Kamala Harris, who’s leading Warren \u003ca href=\"https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html\">in polls\u003c/a>, is one of the few candidates in the crowded primary with star power. Harris has spent years as a state attorney general and senator advocating for stronger data privacy. But her home base is California and, strategists say, Silicon Valley is the ATM. According Krumholz, Harris may be waiting to see whether the leftist position pays off or if a “more moderated approach” brings in more dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11730244,news_11729086\" label=\"Data Privacy in California\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another presidential candidate, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, wants to stand out for her track record taking on Silicon Valley. In 2018, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?two_year_transaction_period=2018&committee_id=C00410191&committee_id=C00431353&min_date=01%2F01%2F2017&max_date=12%2F31%2F2018&contributor_employer=amazon\">federal filings\u003c/a>, she received support from powerful tech donors including former Google chairman Eric Schmidt, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Amazon’s top lawyer David Zapolsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she also has aggressively sponsored bills in the Senate to regulate the industry, by \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1812?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22klobuchar%22%5D%7D\">blocking mergers\u003c/a> and making it easier for \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/2728?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22klobuchar%22%5D%7D\">consumers to opt out of data collection\u003c/a>, among others. She came to SXSW with another bold new idea: every time a tech giant such as Facebook or Google makes ad money, by selling access to user eyeballs, make the company pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There should be some kind of a tax on it,” she said. She also acknowledged the tax proposal would not be popular among industry executives. “They’re going to scream when they hear this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was not prepared to embrace the call to break up big tech companies, Klobuchar says she wants to “unleash” antitrust investigations and has \u003ca href=\"https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2019/2/klobuchar-introduces-legislation-to-modernize-antitrust-enforcement-and-promote-competition\">sponsored legislation\u003c/a> to better fund federal regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Yang, a candidate virtually unknown outside tech circles, packed his room at SXSW. While he described Warren’s anti-monopoly position as “unimaginative” and “retrograde,” he too believes in taxing tech. Yang says because artificial intelligence is destroying jobs, the tech industry should pay for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/09/24/495186758/as-our-jobs-are-automated-some-say-well-need-a-guaranteed-basic-income\">universal basic income\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to start devising a system that helps more Americans share in the gains from growth in companies like Amazon, instead of just being able to access cheap goods,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic candidates are experimenting with how tech regulation translates into stump speeches. Klobuchar and Yang’s messages didn’t excite people as much as Warren’s blunter call. Her speech ended in a mob of adoring fans, including a few tech workers, who embraced her, pledging their support and money, and asking for selfies. As a party, the challenge will be to galvanize supporters in tech while taking on the industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Now, at a conference full of tech workers, she came with the same message: Break up the tech giants; they’re killing competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to keep that marketplace competitive, not let a giant who has an incredible information advantage and a manipulative advantage be able to snuff you out,” she said at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2019/02/25/texas-tribune-sxsw-conversations-america/\">political event\u003c/a> sponsored by SXSW and \u003cem>The Texas Tribune\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/702102576/702147941\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon is her Exhibit One. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The popular site for shopping is increasingly becoming the maker of products.

The audience broke into laughter and thunderous applause when Warren said that under her leadership, the losers would change. “The monopolist will make fewer monopoly profits. Boo hoo!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of scandal — privacy violations, election interference, mega hacks — Silicon Valley has emerged, early on, as a presidential campaign issue.

Harris has spent years as a state attorney general and senator advocating for stronger data privacy. But her home base is California and, strategists say, Silicon Valley is the ATM.

In 2018, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?two_year_transaction_period=2018&committee_id=C00410191&committee_id=C00431353&min_date=01%2F01%2F2017&max_date=12%2F31%2F2018&contributor_employer=amazon\">federal filings\u003c/a>, she received support from powerful tech donors including former Google chairman Eric Schmidt, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Amazon’s top lawyer David Zapolsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she also has aggressively sponsored bills in the Senate to regulate the industry, by \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1812?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22klobuchar%22%5D%7D\">blocking mergers\u003c/a> and making it easier for \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/2728?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22klobuchar%22%5D%7D\">consumers to opt out of data collection\u003c/a>, among others. She came to SXSW with another bold new idea: every time a tech giant such as Facebook or Google makes ad money, by selling access to user eyeballs, make the company pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There should be some kind of a tax on it,” she said. She also acknowledged the tax proposal would not be popular among industry executives. “They’re going to scream when they hear this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was not prepared to embrace the call to break up big tech companies, Klobuchar says she wants to “unleash” antitrust investigations and has \u003ca href=\"https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2019/2/klobuchar-introduces-legislation-to-modernize-antitrust-enforcement-and-promote-competition\">sponsored legislation\u003c/a> to better fund federal regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Yang, a candidate virtually unknown outside tech circles, packed his room at SXSW. While he described Warren’s anti-monopoly position as “unimaginative” and “retrograde,” he too believes in taxing tech. Yang says because artificial intelligence is destroying jobs, the tech industry should pay for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/09/24/495186758/as-our-jobs-are-automated-some-say-well-need-a-guaranteed-basic-income\">universal basic income\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to start devising a system that helps more Americans share in the gains from growth in companies like Amazon, instead of just being able to access cheap goods,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic candidates are experimenting with how tech regulation translates into stump speeches. Klobuchar and Yang’s messages didn’t excite people as much as Warren’s blunter call. Her speech ended in a mob of adoring fans, including a few tech workers, who embraced her, pledging their support and money, and asking for selfies. As a party, the challenge will be to galvanize supporters in tech while taking on the industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

She was also slow to support legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. Harris also declined to take a position on Proposition 47, a progressive measure that reduced some non-violent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors.
