The top image is from 1856, the bottom from 1891. Both were taken near Harrison and 16th streets. \u003ccite>(San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“That means the place where you keep the horses and other animals, four-legged animals, cattle,” Cordova said. “And there were many slaughterhouses in that area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tanneries and shoe factories opened in Potrero Hill, too. A lot of Latinx residents living in the Latin Quarter got jobs at those slaughterhouses and factories and moved to the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across town, coffee brands like Hills Brothers and Folgers established warehouses along the Embarcadero and near Rincon Hill. They’d import the coffee from Central and South America and employ Latinx people living here who knew their way around coffee production. These large employers meant that at the end of the 1800s and during the turn of the 20th century, most of San Francisco’s Latinx residents lived in what we now know as North Beach, in Potrero Hill and near Rincon Hill. Soon more manufacturing would emerge in the Mission District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the oldest companies here in San Francisco was Levi Strauss,” Cordova said. “And many Latinos, African Americans and Asian women actually worked there as seamstresses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Latinx folk were employed at the Levi Strauss factory at 14th and Valencia streets in the Mission, they didn’t live in the neighborhood yet. Most of the homes were owned by Irish, Italian and Russian immigrants who had settled in the Mission earlier. Twenty-Fourth Street, now the beating heart of latinidad in San Francisco, was an Irish stronghold in the early part of the 20th century, said Cordoba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until the 1930s that the Mission District as we’ve come to know it began to take shape. Families were trickling into the area for jobs already, but the trickle became a flood when work began on the Bay Bridge in 1933. One of the massive pillars was built right through the area where many Latinx residents lived, a place known as Rincon Annex. The project forced people to relocate their homes and businesses. First they moved to the Fillmore, and eventually into the Mission District. The makings of the barrio had begun.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>San Francisco booming (1940s-1950s)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>World War II was a boom time throughout the Bay Area, especially in shipbuilding and other war efforts. People from all over the country and world once again saw San Francisco as a place to find a good job, including people from Latin America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had already the connections,” said Cordoba. “People follow their relatives.” This is called a social migration network: People follow their friends and relatives to new opportunities in foreign lands. The new arrivals to San Francisco needed places to live, and they found vacancies in the Mission.[emailsignup newslettername=\"baycurious\" align=\"right\"]After World War II, there was a housing crisis. Soldiers returning from war needed places to live, and there wasn’t enough housing. Housing developers built large tracts of homes on the west side of San Francisco, in places like the Sunset District and Daly City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people who had been living in the Mission moved to these newly built neighborhoods. Latinx families, on the other hand, did not have the same opportunity. Redlining prevented them from buying in many places, and racist lending policies made it difficult for them to get the low-interest loans that white borrowers received. “The Irish and other white ethnic groups moved from the Mission, and then Latinos came to the Mission,” said Cordova.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final factor pushing San Francisco’s Latinx residents into the Mission was the Broadway Tunnel. Its construction forced Latinx business owners to relocate their shops. Important businesses like Casa Sanchez and its tortilla chips — still a thriving business today — had to move.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When the Mission became a barrio (1960s-1970s)\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As Latinx folks were moving to the Mission and forming a community, they were watching another community in San Francisco be destroyed: the Fillmore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Francisco City Hall had a thirst for “\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">urban renewal,”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the practice of \u003ca href=\"https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Fillmore_Redevelopment\">tearing down so-called “slums”\u003c/a> to make way for new development. Fillmore residents — part of a vibrant African American community — were forced out of their homes, often without much warning or adequate compensation from the city. They had to find new places to live, and many left San Francisco all together.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Quite candidly, [the city] lied to the African American community,” said Roberto Hernandez, who was born and raised in the Mission, and remembers the destruction of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the city had promised Fillmore residents they could move back after the neighborhood was rebuilt, it didn’t work out that way. High-cost condominiums and studio spaces were built in the neighborhood, and homes owned by Black families were destroyed. Black residents either couldn’t afford to move back, or had moved on with their lives. The Fillmore was never the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid-’60s, textile factories were leaving the Mission for Asia or Latin America, where labor was cheaper.

They planned to build massive high-rises with housing and offices and a plaza for commercial use. This urban-renewal plan was a red flag to Mission residents who didn’t want to see what happened in the Fillmore happen to them. Residents began organizing to fight the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mission Coalition Organization helped organize the community into “block clubs,” ready to mobilize with a word from their block captains. The block clubs became the foundation of a larger movement for Mission residents to decide what support their community needed and how to work together to get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a beautiful time to see how well-organized the whole neighborhood [was],” Hernandez said. “I felt like it was like Godzilla vs. Bambi because of the power that their redevelopment had at the time was to come in and literally wipe out communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This form of organizing was a huge success. It brought the community together and got everyone involved. And the Mission community needed that unity to fight the city over the redevelopment plan. Ultimately, the mayor at the time, Joe Alioto, gave into their sustained protests, and he listened to the Mission organizers who had their own ideas about what would help revitalize the community and support its residents. Winning the fight not only saved the Mission from redevelopment, it solidified a feeling of unity among residents proudly displaying their cultural identities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Mission of now\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11908471\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11908471\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/la-victoria.jpg\" alt=\"A neon sign reading La Victoria flickers above a glass window with rows of baked goods layed out behind it.

A McDonald’s opened at the corner of Mission and 24th. But a majority of the Mission survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s even more meaningful because [of] knowing what we as a community were able to stop,” Hernandez said, referring to the destruction of the Fillmore District. “And unfortunately, when we look today at how it wiped out the African American community, we would have been wiped out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The residents of the Mission had pushed for the right to decide what happened in their community and won. That power carried them forward as they developed plans to invest in the well-being of its people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The neighborhood also got federal funding through the Model Cities Program, which helped support the projects they’d outlined to city leaders. They used the funding for employment, education, and legal and housing services. Important Mission organizations still working to support the community, like the Mission Hiring Hall and the Mission Housing Development Corporation, got their start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After winning the redevelopment fight, the Mission has continued to grow and change. New immigrants arrived, notably Salvadorans and Nicaraguans who were fleeing wars at home. Organizers like Hernandez created public celebrations of Latinx identity that brought neighbors from different backgrounds together to celebrate their unique identities. Cinco de Mayo, Carnival and Fiesta de las Americas all bring the city to the Mission in celebration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11908239\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11908239 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/IMG_9034-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/IMG_9034-800x576.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/IMG_9034-1020x735.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/IMG_9034-160x115.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/IMG_9034-1536x1106.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/IMG_9034-2048x1475.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/IMG_9034-1920x1383.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Aztec dancer looks above the trees on 24th Street, during a blessing of the altars on 24th and Folsom streets to start Día de los Muertos in the Mission District, San Francisco, on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2020. \u003ccite>(Sebastian Miño-Bucheli/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When I travel to the Mission District today, and I walk up the BART stairs, I’m grateful for my elders who fought to preserve this community.

They’d import the coffee from Central and South America and employ Latinx people living here who knew their way around coffee production. These large employers meant that at the end of the 1800s and during the turn of the 20th century, most of San Francisco’s Latinx residents lived in what we now know as North Beach, in Potrero Hill and near Rincon Hill.

Families were trickling into the area for jobs already, but the trickle became a flood when work began on the Bay Bridge in 1933. One of the massive pillars was built right through the area where many Latinx residents lived, a place known as Rincon Annex. The project forced people to relocate their homes and businesses. First they moved to the Fillmore, and eventually into the Mission District.

Gavin Newsom shut down his state early, prioritizing public health; Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis largely kept his state open for business, prioritizing the economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California just fully reopened on Tuesday, while Florida has been open all year, save for a short lockdown last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The split mirrors the political divisions that have bedeviled the United States during the pandemic — with both sides claiming victory at various times. But now, more than a year of data is offering some clear takeaways on which state’s approach has produced better outcomes on a number of fronts.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jon Jacobo, SF Latino Task Force health committee chair\"]‘We recruited volunteers. We knocked on 1,400 doors over four days and registered people at the door, handed out fliers. We phone-banked — treated it like a traditional political campaign.’[/pullquote]In short, thousands more people per capita in Florida have been infected with, and died from, COVID-19 than in California. And while unemployment remains about twice as high in California, some economists are now \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-06-02/la-fi-california-economy-recovery-ucla-forecast-june-2021\">predicting a faster overall recovery\u003c/a> in states like California that locked down early and kept those restrictions in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, given the two states’ widely contrasting approaches to the pandemic, some experts say they would have expected even more disparate health outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think most public health officials would say that Florida humbles us and makes us realize there are parts of this that we understand and there are parts of this that we don’t exactly understand,” said Dr. Bob Wachter, a leading epidemiologist and chair of the Department of Medicine at UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s easy to criticize California,” Wachter added. “The overall numbers of cases and deaths are so high. But that’s irrelevant, really. You have to look at the per capita rates because California is so much bigger than any other state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Wachter’s math, if Florida’s COVID-19 death rate had been closer to California’s, there would have been nearly 2,400 fewer people dead there. As of this week, \u003ca href=\"https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100klast7days\">transmission rates in Florida remain five times higher than in California\u003c/a>, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In all, 57% of all Californians have received at least one dose of the vaccine, compared to about 48% of all Floridians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And beyond health and economic impacts, there have been other trade-offs each state made, with outcomes that may take years to fully evaluate: For one, most Florida kids have been back in school since the fall; most California students did not return until this spring, and even then, not always full time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Wachter, assessing the success or failure of each state is complicated — and to some extent subjective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, I think some of that will come down to how you value human life,” he said. “I don’t want to sugarcoat it. The number of deaths in Florida per capita is significantly higher than they are in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For community leaders on the ground in both states, the decisions made by DeSantis and Newsom had far-reaching implications — especially for communities of color, who were generally hardest hit by the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One year \u003ca href=\"https://revealnews.org/article/how-a-national-health-crisis-fell-on-the-backs-of-local-leaders/\">after we first compared these two states\u003c/a>, in a collaboration between KQED in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.wlrn.org/\">WLRN\u003c/a> in Miami and \u003ca href=\"https://revealnews.org/\">Reveal\u003c/a>, we visited communities in each state: the Mission District in San Francisco and the city of Miami Gardens in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Mission District\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Last spring, as the coronavirus was spreading across the nation, and the world, community leaders in San Francisco’s heavily Latino Mission District realized things were poised to get bad — quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although heavily gentrified in pockets, the Mission is still a largely working-class neighborhood.

Fearful of a coming wave of infections, they started asking the city for resources, including testing, tracing, rental assistance and food donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the time, tests were in short supply and the virus was spreading rapidly — more so in this neighborhood, it seemed to them, than in other nearby communities. So in April 2020, the Latino Task Force and other community leaders partnered with UCSF to set up a testing site in the neighborhood and put some numbers behind their hunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recruited volunteers. We knocked on 1,400 doors over four days and registered people at the door, handed out fliers. We phone-banked — treated it like a traditional political campaign,” Jacobo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, over 4,000 people came to get tested. About 40% were Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people that were positive — \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/05/417356/initial-results-mission-district-covid-19-testing-announced\">it was 95% Latino, it was 100% people of color,\u003c/a>” Jacobo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]In response, the city expanded testing opportunities and other help for people of color and essential workers throughout the city — in partnership with existing groups like the Latino Task Force, who already had deep ties to city neighborhoods. It’s a lesson San Francisco learned decades ago during the AIDS crisis: The best way to get to hard-to-reach populations, people who might distrust the government, is to use the networks they already trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Latino Task Force did this in the Mission by not only focusing on testing: They set up a resource hub at a large building at 701 Alabama St. Funded by the city, the street outside morphs every Thursday into a pop-up COVID-19 testing site, and now, a place where people can make vaccine appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s also offering all the other things low-income residents have needed during the pandemic. For more than a year, the site has handed out groceries — serving as many as 9,000 families each week. There is also a community wellness team on-site that partners with families when someone tests positive to make sure they have the resources to survive quarantine. Mental health services and job training — all offered in multiple languages — are available as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed called the collaboration — one of many across the city — a game changer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of working with the Latino Task Force had everything to do with making people feel comfortable about getting tested, no questions asked,” she said recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this government and community support didn’t erase the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 cases on Latinos in San Francisco during its summer and winter surges. But Jacobo said it did offer a safety net for vulnerable residents — and it left the city and community with a playbook when the vaccines started to roll out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a community health team providing info on what the vaccine is or what the vaccine isn’t. And we’ll literally sign you up for your appointment here,” Jacobo said. “So you don’t have to do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1403425020303396865\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It worked: By early June, San Francisco reported that \u003ca href=\"https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/COVID-19-Vaccinations-Maps/uue2-6gdn/\">more than 70% of residents in the neighborhood\u003c/a> had received at least one dose.

And as California lifts nearly all COVID-19 restrictions — San Francisco officials this week announced more 80% of residents have received at least one dose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed credits San Franciscans for trusting the science, the data and one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I must say, I am really proud of how San Franciscans, for the most part, handled this crisis, because if people didn’t comply and didn’t trust the information, we wouldn’t be here,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same cannot be said across the country in Miami Gardens.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Miami Gardens\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Located in Miami-Dade County, Miami Gardens is the largest Black-majority city in Florida — African Americans make up roughly 71% of the population.

So [my office] started reaching out,” said Leon, who is Black. “We started reaching out to different groups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the major vaccination sites was a state-run location at the Hard Rock Stadium in the city — home to the Miami Dolphins and where the 2020 Super Bowl was held shortly before the coronavirus hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the state previously offering testing at the site, Leon said the location just didn’t work for many residents of his city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stadium wasn’t enough because you had people coming from everywhere to get into the stadium and the stadium didn’t have the flexibility for walk-ups and they didn’t have the flexibility for those people that didn’t have transportation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t just about access, said Dr. Dwight Reynolds, an emergency physician working with the city of Miami Gardens. Many Black men like him were uncomfortable with the stadium site, he said, noting that it was set up by the state with help from the National Guard, and had a lot of security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Imagine for a moment that you are a male of color. You go into a place where you see white officers — let’s tell it like it is — with guns,” Reynolds said. “OK, would you feel comfortable pulling up to that site although it’s free?

At its pop-up site, the city offers doses of the Moderna vaccine, with Black nurses and doctors, including Reynolds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reynolds said he regularly hears from Black Floridians that they feel more comfortable with him holding the needle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have people that look like you, talk like you, that’s kind of important,” he said. “We look like them. We talk like them. And guess what?

I don’t want to think about Monday or Tuesday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]Despite the location and ease, though, it’s been hard to attract people: On one Friday in May only about four or five people came for a shot all day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reynolds said he’s often been in the difficult position of deciding whether or not to open a vial — and risk having doses go bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s say at 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock — if you … can’t move those ones that you have left, then you end up having problems,” he said, adding he’s taken to driving extra doses as far as Coral Springs — some 30 miles away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been slower going here than in San Francisco, where a deeper level of trust had already been established in some lower-income communities by the time the vaccines arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local leaders in both Miami Gardens and San Francisco’s Mission District have centered their efforts around building trust on the ground, but say they have been both helped and stymied by the decisions made at their own state capitols.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘I Would Not Declare Victory Now’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In Florida, Gov. DeSantis followed the lead of his ally, former President Donald Trump: He refused to institute many restrictions recommended by health experts, like a statewide mask mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And by spring 2021, DeSantis also made it harder for local governments to enforce their own COVID-19 safety rules. In March, for example, he overturned fines cities and counties administered to individuals and businesses for breaking health restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Epidemiologists in both states agree that while the two governors’ decisions did influence health outcomes, so did the individual decisions of the millions of residents in each state — who sometimes acted in spite of their leaders’ examples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy Prins, a University of Florida epidemiologist, said that’s probably one reason why things aren’t as bad in Florida as some experts predicted they would be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of people continued to wear masks, not go to restaurants, physically distance in some cases, in spite of the fact that things were opened up,” Prins said.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Dr. Dwight Reynolds, emergency physician in Miami Gardens, Florida\"]‘To have people that look like you, talk like you, that’s kind of important.

The variants are nastier. So I would not declare victory now in Florida.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the actions of individual Californians — especially at family gatherings over the holiday season — prompted a major winter surge. Yet Wachter said those outbreaks were notably worse in the southern half of the state, showing that Newsom’s restrictions only went so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state had the same rules and standards. But people in L.A. and people in some of the other southern counties were acting differently than the people in the Bay Area were tending to. And you saw a divergence,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the \u003ca href=\"https://revealnews.org/article/how-a-national-health-crisis-fell-on-the-backs-of-local-leaders/\">major finding\u003c/a> of our collaboration last spring, early in the pandemic: the huge significance of individual actions, particularly in the absence of a coordinated national response.

Attendees at indoor events with more than 5,000 people will have to either show they’re fully vaccinated or provide a recent negative COVID-19 test result; and Newsom’s administration is in the process of creating a digital “vaccine verification system,” allowing businesses to more easily check people’s vaccination status (though he’s quick to stress that using it is not required).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11878398\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS46130_038_KQED_SanFrancisco_COVIDTesting_11302020-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11878398\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS46130_038_KQED_SanFrancisco_COVIDTesting_11302020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS46130_038_KQED_SanFrancisco_COVIDTesting_11302020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS46130_038_KQED_SanFrancisco_COVIDTesting_11302020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS46130_038_KQED_SanFrancisco_COVIDTesting_11302020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS46130_038_KQED_SanFrancisco_COVIDTesting_11302020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS46130_038_KQED_SanFrancisco_COVIDTesting_11302020-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Health care worker Jaden Anderson tests a child for COVID-19 at a Unidos en Salud testing site on 24th and Mission streets in San Francisco on Nov. 30, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, in Florida, DeSantis recently \u003ca href=\"//www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article251147909.html\">overrode\u003c/a> all remaining local emergency pandemic-related orders and restrictions.

And while unemployment remains about twice as high in California, some economists are now \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-06-02/la-fi-california-economy-recovery-ucla-forecast-june-2021\">predicting a faster overall recovery\u003c/a> in states like California that locked down early and kept those restrictions in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, given the two states’ widely contrasting approaches to the pandemic, some experts say they would have expected even more disparate health outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think most public health officials would say that Florida humbles us and makes us realize there are parts of this that we understand and there are parts of this that we don’t exactly understand,” said Dr. Bob Wachter, a leading epidemiologist and chair of the Department of Medicine at UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s easy to criticize California,” Wachter added. “The overall numbers of cases and deaths are so high. But that’s irrelevant, really. You have to look at the per capita rates because California is so much bigger than any other state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Wachter’s math, if Florida’s COVID-19 death rate had been closer to California’s, there would have been nearly 2,400 fewer people dead there. As of this week, \u003ca href=\"https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100klast7days\">transmission rates in Florida remain five times higher than in California\u003c/a>, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In all, 57% of all Californians have received at least one dose of the vaccine, compared to about 48% of all Floridians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And beyond health and economic impacts, there have been other trade-offs each state made, with outcomes that may take years to fully evaluate: For one, most Florida kids have been back in school since the fall; most California students did not return until this spring, and even then, not always full time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Wachter, assessing the success or failure of each state is complicated — and to some extent subjective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, I think some of that will come down to how you value human life,” he said. “I don’t want to sugarcoat it. The number of deaths in Florida per capita is significantly higher than they are in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For community leaders on the ground in both states, the decisions made by DeSantis and Newsom had far-reaching implications — especially for communities of color, who were generally hardest hit by the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One year \u003ca href=\"https://revealnews.org/article/how-a-national-health-crisis-fell-on-the-backs-of-local-leaders/\">after we first compared these two states\u003c/a>, in a collaboration between KQED in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.wlrn.org/\">WLRN\u003c/a> in Miami and \u003ca href=\"https://revealnews.org/\">Reveal\u003c/a>, we visited communities in each state: the Mission District in San Francisco and the city of Miami Gardens in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Mission District\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Last spring, as the coronavirus was spreading across the nation, and the world, community leaders in San Francisco’s heavily Latino Mission District realized things were poised to get bad — quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although heavily gentrified in pockets, the Mission is still a largely working-class neighborhood.

Fearful of a coming wave of infections, they started asking the city for resources, including testing, tracing, rental assistance and food donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the time, tests were in short supply and the virus was spreading rapidly — more so in this neighborhood, it seemed to them, than in other nearby communities.

It’s a lesson San Francisco learned decades ago during the AIDS crisis: The best way to get to hard-to-reach populations, people who might distrust the government, is to use the networks they already trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Latino Task Force did this in the Mission by not only focusing on testing: They set up a resource hub at a large building at 701 Alabama St. Funded by the city, the street outside morphs every Thursday into a pop-up COVID-19 testing site, and now, a place where people can make vaccine appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s also offering all the other things low-income residents have needed during the pandemic. For more than a year, the site has handed out groceries — serving as many as 9,000 families each week. There is also a community wellness team on-site that partners with families when someone tests positive to make sure they have the resources to survive quarantine. Mental health services and job training — all offered in multiple languages — are available as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed called the collaboration — one of many across the city — a game changer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of working with the Latino Task Force had everything to do with making people feel comfortable about getting tested, no questions asked,” she said recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this government and community support didn’t erase the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 cases on Latinos in San Francisco during its summer and winter surges.

Entre los Latinos de la ciudad, se registran 8 mil 665 casos de coronavirus por cada 100 mil habitantes latinos. Por otro lado, por cada 100 mil habitantes blancos que no son latinos, se cuentan mil 463 contagios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oímos tantas veces cómo este ha sido el peor año para tantas personas.

Esto no es algo nuevo”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De la misma manera que estos retos no son nuevos, las soluciones también han existido por mucho tiempo. Alemán señala que a pesar de todo, “la ayuda mutua no es algo nuevo”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pese a que este término se ha vuelto más popular a lo largo de la pandemia, Alemán recalca que la ayuda mutua (o en inglés, “mutual aid”) es tan solo un nuevo nombre para la tradición de solidaridad que ha existido dentro de la población inmigrante por décadas. “‘Mutual aid’ es algo que existe fuera del idioma inglés”, ella dijo, dando como ejemplo a las redes de ayuda que su madre y otros inmigrantes han formado desde que llegaron a EE.UU.[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Gabriela Alemán\"]‘Cuando hablamos de la experiencia de nuestra comunidad en este país, la ayuda mutua ha sido cómo hemos podido sobrevivir.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cuando hablamos de la experiencia de nuestra comunidad en este país, la ayuda mutua ha sido cómo hemos podido sobrevivir”, dijo Alemán, “ha sido una parte integral de eso, aunque ahora usemos estos nuevos términos”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta frase quizás no explica por completo las raíces históricas de este tipo de trabajo social, sin embargo, Alemán y otros líderes comunitarios la aplican cuando solicitan recursos locales para financiar sus organizaciones.

Pero cuando tienes que pedir fondos y otros tipos de apoyo, se vuelve mucho más difícil”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El pasado mes de septiembre, la alcaldesa London Breed anunció que $28.5 millones habían sido asignados para aumentar las pruebas de coronavirus disponibles en los distritos con una población sustancial de latinos, y también para aliviar los estragos económicos de la pandemia entre esta comunidad. Entre estos fondos, $3.6 millones fueron apartados para apoyar a \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-london-breed-announces-over-28-million-expanded-covid-19-support-san-franciscos-latino\">bancos y centros de comida\u003c/a> que operan en zonas Latinas como la Misión.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Además, la Ciudad reporta que ya ha otorgado alrededor de $2 millones entre las organizaciones ‘\u003ca href=\"https://www.missionfoodhub.org/\">Mission Food Hub\u003c/a>‘ y ‘\u003ca href=\"https://www.homey-sf.org\">HOMEY\u003c/a>‘, las cuales también operan en la Misión y realizan distribuciones de comida cada semana. HOMEY recibió $98,800 y un poco más de $1.9 millones fue otorgado a Mission Food Hub.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Por su parte, la MMC no ha recibido parte de estos $2 millones. Y esto preocupa Alemán, ya que no quiere que el gobierno de la ciudad pase por alto a grupos de apoyo más pequeños, que quizás no atraen tanta atención de los medios de comunicación pero también atienden a las mismas necesidades de la comunidad.[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Gabriela Ramírez\"]‘El support [apoyo] es la fuerza de hacer cualquier cosa, para ayudarse.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Estamos viendo que la ciudad, en particular, y otras dependencias también, le están dando la prioridad a…los mismos espacios”, dijo Alemán.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Señala que la MMC ha desarrollado su propia red de apoyo durante la pandemia, pero quienes hacen donaciones también enfrentan sus propias dificultades financieras y esto, en ocasiones, afecta cuánta ayuda pueden proporcionar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pesar de todo, el hambre y la escasez no cesan. Tanto Alemán como Ramírez predicen que esta crisis durará por mucho más, incluso hasta después que la vacuna contra el coronavirus sea disponible para el público en general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nuestra intención es seguir este trabajo. Poco a poco estamos creciendo y pronto ya no vamos a caber en este espacio entonces esperamos un día tener un hogar permanente aquí en la Misión”, dijo Alemán.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tanto hija como madre comparten el objetivo de establecer una relación entre la comunidad y la MMC que dure más allá de cuando se termine la pandemia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tenemos que hacer fuerza, de todas maneras, de cada una de ellas, de ver dónde se va a colectar o cómo se va a hacer, pero para que la gente reciba lo que se les pueda ayudar”, Ramírez dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>¿Quiere saber cómo usted o un ser querido puede acceder a los servicios de la MMC, o quiere apoyar su trabajo usted mismo?

This story originally ran on Dec. 3, 2020.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hese days, Frida Kahlo’s image is all around us. Her iconic eyebrows and piercing gaze have been immortalized on T-shirts, tote bags and tequila bottles. There’s even a \u003ca href=\"https://barbie.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ba/inspiring-women-series/barbie-inspiring-women-series-frida-kahlo-doll-fjh65\">Frida Barbie doll\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before her image became so commercialized and ubiquitous, Kahlo was just a budding artist waiting for her big break. Married to the older and already famous artist Diego Rivera, Kahlo was determined to make a name for herself, and her time in San Francisco would help her do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Frida and Diego Come to San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It was a place she called “the city of the world,” and she often dreamed of it as a teenager, says University of San Francisco professor and author of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://fridakahlojourney.com/index.html\">Frida in America\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, Celia Stahr. As she and Rivera make their way to San Francisco in 1930, she doodles a portrait of herself set against a backdrop of how she imagined the city to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they get to San Francisco, she shows it to Diego and he just marvels at how much it looks like what they’re seeing before them, kind of like she already knew what it was going to look like even though she’d never been [here],” says Stahr. “So there’s a sense of destiny that she was supposed to come here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the fact that it was the Great Depression and paid work opportunities for American artists were scarce, Rivera landed two prestigious mural commissions: one at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfai.edu/about-sfai/diego-rivera-mural\">San Francisco Art Institute\u003c/a> and another at the Pacific Stock Exchange building, now called the City Club of San Francisco. His patrons hoped that Rivera’s fame would bring prestige to the local art scene and help jump-start a mural movement in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rivera was a controversial pick for the Stock Exchange. As a member of the Mexican Communist Party, Rivera imbued his politics in his large-scale public murals. Many San Francisco artists were outraged that an outspoken communist would paint in the city’s “citadel of capitalism” and took to the newspaper to express their opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11848996\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 383px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11848996 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAK-0313.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAK-0313.jpg 383w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAK-0313-160x167.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rivera at work on the ‘Allegory of California’ mural at the Pacific Stock Exchange. \u003ccite>(San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I believe he is the greatest living artist in the world and we would do well to have an example of his work in a public building in San Francisco.

And so he was a doctor, but you could say he had the soul of an artist,” said Stahr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three of them even traveled around Northern California together. One time, Eloesser took Kahlo on her first plane ride.

Her iconic eyebrows and piercing gaze have been immortalized on T-shirts, tote bags and tequila bottles.

Married to the older and already famous artist Diego Rivera, Kahlo was determined to make a name for herself, and her time in San Francisco would help her do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Frida and Diego Come to San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It was a place she called “the city of the world,” and she often dreamed of it as a teenager, says University of San Francisco professor and author of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://fridakahlojourney.com/index.html\">Frida in America\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, Celia Stahr. As she and Rivera make their way to San Francisco in 1930, she doodles a portrait of herself set against a backdrop of how she imagined the city to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they get to San Francisco, she shows it to Diego and he just marvels at how much it looks like what they’re seeing before them, kind of like she already knew what it was going to look like even though she’d never been [here],” says Stahr. “So there’s a sense of destiny that she was supposed to come here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Bay Curious\u003c/a> is a podcast that answers your questions about the Bay Area.\n Subscribe on \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bay-curious/id1172473406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Podcasts\u003c/a>,\n \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/podcasts/500557090/bay-curious\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR One\u003c/a> or your favorite podcast platform.\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the fact that it was the Great Depression and paid work opportunities for American artists were scarce, Rivera landed two prestigious mural commissions: one at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfai.edu/about-sfai/diego-rivera-mural\">San Francisco Art Institute\u003c/a> and another at the Pacific Stock Exchange building, now called the City Club of San Francisco. His patrons hoped that Rivera’s fame would bring prestige to the local art scene and help jump-start a mural movement in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rivera was a controversial pick for the Stock Exchange. As a member of the Mexican Communist Party, Rivera imbued his politics in his large-scale public murals. Many San Francisco artists were outraged that an outspoken communist would paint in the city’s “citadel of capitalism” and took to the newspaper to express their opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11848996\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 383px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11848996 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAK-0313.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAK-0313.jpg 383w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAK-0313-160x167.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rivera at work on the ‘Allegory of California’ mural at the Pacific Stock Exchange. \u003ccite>(San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I believe he is the greatest living artist in the world and we would do well to have an example of his work in a public building in San Francisco. But he is not the man for the Stock Exchange building,” argued painter Maynard Dixon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where his critics saw offense, his supporters saw beauty. Rivera’s masterful use of the fresco technique, applying pigment to wet plaster, fascinated local artists who eagerly wanted to learn the craft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the many letters Kahlo wrote to her family about the Bay Area, she notes the nonstop attention Rivera attracted. “The poor guy can’t even go to the bathroom in peace because they’re bugging him all day,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 23-year-old Kahlo had only been painting for five years, and the local press merely regarded her as the wife of the famous Mexican muralist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She hasn’t had that much experience.

The Greek colony is also very interesting and the Japanese, but most of all the Chinese,” Frida wrote in a letter to her mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She just gushes about Chinatown and she writes about it quite a bit. It reminded her very much, she said, of home. She writes about how she’s convinced that the Mexican people and the Chinese people are connected to one another,” says Stahr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letters detail how the firecrackers during Chinese New Year festivities reminded Kahlo of street fairs back in Mexico. Silks and other handmade fabrics sold in the shops of Chinatown also caught her eye. She purchased a few to embellish her red leather boots and make into Mexican-style skirts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kahlo’s style definitely caught the attention of San Franciscans. Her indigenous dress, influenced by the Zapotec women of Tehuantepec, stirred so much excitement on the streets of San Francisco that she reportedly stopped traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11848998\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 345px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11848998 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAF-0633.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAF-0633.jpg 345w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/AAF-0633-160x186.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kahlo painting a portrait of Mrs. Jean Wight in San Francisco \u003ccite>(San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The gringas seem to like me a lot and they are really impressed by all the dresses and rebozos I brought with me, they gape at the jade necklaces and all the painters want me to model for the portraits,” Kahlo wrote to her mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her bold look catches the attention of well-known photographers Imogen Cunningham and Edward Weston, who ask her to pose for them in San Francisco. Since Kahlo was the daughter of a photographer, she was a natural in front of the camera. A local writer also pens a play about her and Rivera called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.si.edu/object/AAADCD_item_766\">The Queen of Montgomery Street\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This recognition adds to Frida’s growing artist persona and helped plant the seeds for her eventual rise to icon status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But underneath her colorful garments, Kahlo’s body ached. At 18 she had suffered a horrific street car accident that severely damaged most of her body and exacerbated the chronic pain of her polio leg. Her long walks around San Francisco began to take a toll on her.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>New Friends, New Places and New Ideas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That changed when she met \u003ca href=\"https://www.wikiart.org/en/frida-kahlo/portrait-of-dr-leo-eloesser-1931\">Dr. Leo Eloesser\u003c/a>, who would ultimately have a big impact on her life. Eloesser was the chief of thoracic surgery at San Francisco General Hospital and he went above and beyond to treat Kahlo’s foot and leg pain, even showing up at her doorstep when she’d miss her appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond his thorough care, he connected with Kahlo and Rivera on a creative level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Leo was a musician. He played viola and he would have weekly soirees at his flat. And so he was a doctor, but you could say he had the soul of an artist,” said Stahr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three of them even traveled around Northern California together. One time, Eloesser took Kahlo on her first plane ride. They flew from Oakland to Sacramento to meet up with Rivera who was busy sketching mines and dredgers for his \u003ca href=\"https://www.wikiart.org/en/diego-rivera/allegory-of-california-1931\">“Allegory of California” \u003c/a>mural. One of these excursions proved to be a major turning point for Kahlo’s art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a trip to Santa Rosa, Rivera and Kahlo visited the garden of the famous horticulturist Luther Burbank, known as “the wizard of horticulture.” He developed more than 800 varieties of fruits, vegetables and plants by cross breeding two kinds together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11849000\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11849000 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1020x1424.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1020x1424.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-800x1117.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-160x223.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1100x1536.jpg 1100w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-1467x2048.jpg 1467w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46089_castrbhg_pho_1178_01-qut-scaled.jpg 1833w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo at the garden of Luther Burbank in Santa Rosa \u003ccite>(Luther Burbank Home & Gardens Collection--Sonoma County Library Digital Collections)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Seeing how Burbank literally fused together two organisms to create something brand new mesmerized Kahlo.

Months later, when Trotsky was actually assassinated, the police detained her for questioning, believing she was an accomplice. (Years prior, she and Rivera offered their Casa Azul to Trotsky and his wife for political asylum). The brief experience in jail left her traumatized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was in a terrible emotional state. Physically, she wasn’t doing well.

Many people, now more than ever, are in need of resources for their families, and one of them is food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not all food banks are open due to the pandemic, many have continued the work of helping their communities to survive during these difficult times. Two such San Francisco groups are the Mission Food Hub and the San Francisco Neighbors Solidarity Network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, starting from their location at Alabama Street, the line to receive food from the Mission Food Hub wraps around several streets while people keep their social distance. With their neat organization and feeling of community, the Food Hub has managed to help hundreds of people in the city, who do not shy away from expressing their gratitude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are helping the San Francisco community,” said Marisela Veliz, who lost her job as a childcare worker two months ago. “They will not receive anything back from us but maybe someday we can give back the help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mission Food Hub started in the garage of its founder Roberto Hernandez and continued to grow until it filled three rooms of a warehouse in the Mission District. Hernandez started by calling his close friends, asking them if they could donate groceries to families. But when he saw the vast necessity, the project grew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been like magic. I really believe it has been like a miracle in the Mission. Puro milagro” said Hernadez. The project that started by giving food to 500 families now gives groceries to around 7,000, according to Hernadez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826995\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11826995\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Mission-Latino-Food-Hub_5301_WEB-1.jpg\" alt=\"Roberto Hernandez, who organizes the San Francisco Carnaval, is using the volunteers, resources and sponsors that would normally go to the now cancelled event, towards getting food to those in the community who need it. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Mission-Latino-Food-Hub_5301_WEB-1.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/Mission-Latino-Food-Hub_5301_WEB-1-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roberto Hernandez, who organizes the San Francisco Carnaval, is using the volunteers, resources and sponsors that would normally go to the now-canceled event, towards getting food to those in the community who need it. \u003ccite>(Mabel Jiménez/El Tecolote)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hernandez, who is the artistic director of Carnaval San Francisco (which was canceled due to COVID-19), used his connections to aid people in the community.

The effort not only gives food to families – they’re also thinking about the products people need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really make sure that the Mission Food Hub is culturally appropriate for our community,” said Hernandez. “Because I believe that we should be able to eat things we like.” For Mission Food Hub, Hernadez realized that base for maize dough (masa) is a highly sought product by families, the majority of whom are Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They give us what we use most in the kitchen,” said Veliz. “Sometimes they give us products to make tortillas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veliz heard about the Mission Food Hub a month ago from her sister and since then, she and her neighbor go to receive food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aura Cabrera, another visitor to the Food Hub, liked that they give out dairy products because she has a young daughter. “Because of the unemployment, the resources that they give us are a big help,” said Cabrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera lost her job as a cook in a Mexican restaurant in the Mission on March 16.

The biggest donations have been from Goya Foods and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Mission Food Hub secured a donation of 1,400 boxes of produce every week from the USDA. The effort not only gives food to families – they’re also thinking about the products people need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really make sure that the Mission Food Hub is culturally appropriate for our community,” said Hernandez. “Because I believe that we should be able to eat things we like.” For Mission Food Hub, Hernadez realized that base for maize dough (masa) is a highly sought product by families, the majority of whom are Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They give us what we use most in the kitchen,” said Veliz. “Sometimes they give us products to make tortillas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veliz heard about the Mission Food Hub a month ago from her sister and since then, she and her neighbor go to receive food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aura Cabrera, another visitor to the Food Hub, liked that they give out dairy products because she has a young daughter. “Because of the unemployment, the resources that they give us are a big help,” said Cabrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera lost her job as a cook in a Mexican restaurant in the Mission on March 16.

"content": "\u003cp>At one point, during last week's massive youth-led San Francisco protest against police brutality, Simone Jacques stood on top of a vintage yellow school bus to address the thousands of young people flooding the streets of the Mission District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The United States’ agenda has always been to profit off Black and brown bodies,” she shouted to the crowd, who had gathered by the thousands, galvanized by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. “We are here to acknowledge the Black people who built this country against their will, the Black women who birthed this country. … We call on your spirits to protect us and propel us through this march and the beginning of this revolution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Simone Jacques\"]'I see myself taking freedom with other Black and brown people and protecting my right to happiness. I think the most radical thing as Black and brown people that we can do is be happy.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacques, 17, and her friends organized the march through an Instagram platform she created called \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/nojusticenopeacesf/\">NoJusticeNoPeaceSF\u003c/a>, which has over 10,000 followers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love my community so much and I love the people around me so much that I never want them to have to lose somebody they love or one of them get hurt,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacques, a junior in high school, is the proud daughter of immigrants: Her mother is from Mexico, her father from Haiti. ”All of them have had situations dealing with police brutality and being victims of police brutality, and I’m fighting for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She acknowledges the differences between the fight for Black and brown liberation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The solidarity between Black and Latino people is still as strong as it's been since the Civil Rights era,” she said. “When it comes down to discrimination, though, our discrimination is unique. It seems that we are both fighting a battle against oppression in our own unique ways.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacques said she is also fighting for the Mission, San Francisco's historically Latino neighborhood, where her mom and grandparents settled in the 1960s.

The $484 billion relief package includes more than $300 billion to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which was depleted in less than two weeks by small businesses seeking forgivable loans to retain or rehire workers during the pandemic. The federal aid will also provide $25 billion to ramp up nationwide testing for the coronavirus and $75 billion for beleaguered hospitals on the frontlines of fighting the pandemic.

On Thursday, they wrapped up testing the entire population of Bolinas, the small coastal town in western Marin county. Not only did they look to see who is actively infected, they also took blood samples to screen for antibodies to the coronavirus. Antibody testing helps scientists understand how widely an illness has spread through a community, even if some who’ve been infected don’t show any symptoms. This weekend, they’ll kick off the next phase of the study to sample more than 5,000 residents in San Francisco’s Mission district. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Bryan Greenhouse, associate professor of medicine, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Luis Obispo’s Push to Reopen Its Economy\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a bipartisan group of officials from San Luis Obispo County wrote to Gov. Gavin Newsom to ask for permission to pursue “a phased reopening” of the local economy over the next three weeks. The officials pointed to declining infections and hospitalizations from COVID-19 and a recovery rate of more than 80%, according to county officials. The county is expected to release by the end of the week a road map indicating, for example, which businesses could be allowed to open with social distancing and other safeguards in place. Meanwhile, governors across the nation are experiencing pressure to reopen shuttered businesses and relax stay-at-home directives, with crowds of people amassing at state capitols in recent days in defiance of state orders limiting public gatherings. The governors of Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee announced their decisions this week to gradually reopen their economies, including businesses such as gyms, nail salons and barbershops. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham, R-San Luis Obispo\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Draw Together” Art Class Helps Kids and Parents during Crisis\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many parents who are now unexpectedly homeschooling their children are finding it to be a challenge. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To help those parents and their kids, best-selling San Francisco-based illustrator Wendy MacNaughton launched “Draw Together with Wendy Mac” — a free, daily half-hour lesson streaming on Instragram on how to draw everything from race cars to penguins.

This weekend, they’ll kick off the next phase of the study to sample more than 5,000 residents in San Francisco’s Mission district. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Bryan Greenhouse, associate professor of medicine, UCSF\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Luis Obispo’s Push to Reopen Its Economy\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a bipartisan group of officials from San Luis Obispo County wrote to Gov. Gavin Newsom to ask for permission to pursue “a phased reopening” of the local economy over the next three weeks. The officials pointed to declining infections and hospitalizations from COVID-19 and a recovery rate of more than 80%, according to county officials. The county is expected to release by the end of the week a road map indicating, for example, which businesses could be allowed to open with social distancing and other safeguards in place. Meanwhile, governors across the nation are experiencing pressure to reopen shuttered businesses and relax stay-at-home directives, with crowds of people amassing at state capitols in recent days in defiance of state orders limiting public gatherings. The governors of Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee announced their decisions this week to gradually reopen their economies, including businesses such as gyms, nail salons and barbershops. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
