Election officials and voting advocates reported long lines in Fresno, Merced, Riverside, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Santa Clara counties.

One solution could be to scan and process a voter’s ballot while they are present, as Shasta County did this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond addressing the issues that voters faced this year, lawmakers and election officials anticipate that many of the changes to voting brought on by COVID-19 could become permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Despite the pandemic, this turned out to be a very successful election year and could very well serve as a model, not just for statewide adoption going forward, but for states across the country,” Padilla said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, Assemblyman Berman \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11846789/who-should-get-the-coronavirus-vaccine-first\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced that he will introduce legislation\u003c/a> to mail every registered voter a ballot in all future elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I think it is important to move in the direction of making this permanent because more and more voters are getting used to the convenience of voting by mail,” Berman said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many counties, including Alameda, San Francisco and Sonoma, may opt in to the Voters Choice Act in future elections and leave neighborhood polling places in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the biggest hurdle is the current requirement to open vote centers for 11 days before the election which many registrars see as a waste of money for the amount of foot traffic they anticipate that far in advance of Election Day. This year, that requirement was reduced to three days of early voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More broadly, election officials in California disagree over the future need for in-person voting, given voters’ increasing preference for voting by mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berman said he opposes eliminating in-person voting in California, and advocates argue that voting locations are essential for voters who aren’t comfortable with mail-in voting, along with those who require language assistance at the polls. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But under the hybrid system used this fall, counties are “doing two elections in parallel,” said Scott Konopasek, assistant registrar of voters in Contra Costa County. He said voting by mail cost his county nearly twice as much as in-person voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You’re doing an in-person election as if everyone’s going to show up in-person, and then you’re doing a vote-by-mail election as if everyone is going to vote by mail,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, counties could tap the extra funding made available by Congress for pandemic-related election preparations. But as they prepare for 2022, local officials could be forced to reckon with tighter state budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“If you want to keep that [voter turnout] increase then you need to be looking hard and fast at providing the options for counties to successfully implement some version of this process that we just did,” said Joe Holland, registrar of voters in Santa Barbara County.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sure elections are expensive, but how darn important is it?” he added. “What’s a more important government function than securing our democracy?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Debido a esta experiencia, Welday se siente frustrado con el gobierno de Trump por haber negado protecciones humanitarias a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801856/9-ways-trump-has-overhauled-immigration-to-the-us\">decenas de miles de migrantes centroamericanos\u003c/a> en la frontera sur.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Todos somos seres humanos. Me gustaría que la misma oportunidad que yo recibí sea extendida a otras personas”, dijo Welday, quien huyó del régimen eritreo, el cual fue señalado por las Naciones Unidas de crímenes contra la humanidad. “Quizás la única opción que tenga la gente es salir de su país y venir aquí para buscar una vida mejor”.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lo largo de los cuatro años de su mandato, Trump ha hecho la restricción de la inmigración como una de sus prioridades. Muchos de los millones de californianos que presentaron sus boletas en estas elecciones no se les olvidó esto. Cabe mencionar que uno de cada seis votantes registrados en el estado dorado son inmigrantes ellos mismos.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Por todo el país, el número de votantes que nacieron en el extranjero ahora representa el 10% de los electores, según los estimados del Centro de investigaciones Pew. Y California tiene más ciudadanos naturalizados que pueden votar que cualquier otro estado, alrededor de 5.5 millones de personas.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11847146\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11847146\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Un votante se acerca a un buzón especial de la Oficina de Registros del Votante del Condado de Alameda en Oakland el pasado 27 de octubre del 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Welday votó por primera vez en estas elecciones presidenciales y dijo que se arrepiente de no haber votado en 2016, aunque ya contaba con ese derecho en ese entonces.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fue acompañado por su hijo de seis años, Nathan, cuando entregó su boleta en un buzón especial electoral a las afueras de la Corte superior del Condado de Alameda en Oakland la mañana del 27 de octubre.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Quería que él viera cómo se hace lo correcto”, dijo Welday. “Que vea cuáles son sus opciones.

Debido a esta experiencia, Welday se siente frustrado con el gobierno de Trump por haber negado protecciones humanitarias a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11801856/9-ways-trump-has-overhauled-immigration-to-the-us\">decenas de miles de migrantes centroamericanos\u003c/a> en la frontera sur.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Todos somos seres humanos. Me gustaría que la misma oportunidad que yo recibí sea extendida a otras personas”, dijo Welday, quien huyó del régimen eritreo, el cual fue señalado por las Naciones Unidas de crímenes contra la humanidad. “Quizás la única opción que tenga la gente es salir de su país y venir aquí para buscar una vida mejor”.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lo largo de los cuatro años de su mandato, Trump ha hecho la restricción de la inmigración como una de sus prioridades. Muchos de los millones de californianos que presentaron sus boletas en estas elecciones no se les olvidó esto. Cabe mencionar que uno de cada seis votantes registrados en el estado dorado son inmigrantes ellos mismos.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Por todo el país, el número de votantes que nacieron en el extranjero ahora representa el 10% de los electores, según los estimados del Centro de investigaciones Pew. Y California tiene más ciudadanos naturalizados que pueden votar que cualquier otro estado, alrededor de 5.5 millones de personas.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11847146\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11847146\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45481_029_KQED_Oakland_RegistrarofVoters_10272020-qut-1020x680-1.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Un votante se acerca a un buzón especial de la Oficina de Registros del Votante del Condado de Alameda en Oakland el pasado 27 de octubre del 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Welday votó por primera vez en estas elecciones presidenciales y dijo que se arrepiente de no haber votado en 2016, aunque ya contaba con ese derecho en ese entonces.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fue acompañado por su hijo de seis años, Nathan, cuando entregó su boleta en un buzón especial electoral a las afueras de la Corte superior del Condado de Alameda en Oakland la mañana del 27 de octubre.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Quería que él viera cómo se hace lo correcto”, dijo Welday. “Que vea cuáles son sus opciones.

Fife, who helped form the Moms 4 Housing collective, won a seat on the Oakland City Council in the November 2020 election. \u003ccite>(Philip Pacheco/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you mean by “housing as a human right?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have to clarify, because I think there’s still some misunderstanding about that particular civil disobedience action. It was completely to highlight the fact that we believe that housing should not be a commodity. It should not be something that is sold to the highest bidder. And if you do not have the wherewithal to compete in the process of acquiring housing, then you are out of luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re seeing the ramifications of that throughout not just Oakland, but the state of California and the world, really. So we say that housing should be a right and everyone should have access to it, just like they have access to clean water, public education and all of the things that are necessary to build a basic and decent life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, you’re talking about changing the whole nature of what you call the commodification of housing and moving more toward housing for low-and, frankly, no-income people?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right. There are many people that are unable to work and have no income. There are seniors who cannot work and can’t earn the money that is necessary to afford to live here. There are people who are disabled permanently, who are born that way or through any situation that leads to disability, just unable to earn income. So are we saying that they shouldn’t have housing because they can’t afford to to live here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is one of the primary reasons that housing should be a human right. We have foster children. We have young people that are in college; so many people that are barred from having a safe, affordable place to stay because they just do not earn the money necessary. And even working people are out of reach for most of the housing that we see that’s coming onto the market here, [and] that’s on the market. There’s a huge problem with our entire paradigm. And we need to shift unless we want to continue to see the outcomes that we’re seeing with tent cities under every overpass and every street. And it’s just untenable at this moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now the home prices are increasing in the Bay Area and we’re going to see an end to [eviction] moratoriums soon. And it’s just a problem that is insurmountable unless we do something completely different than what we’ve been doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you implement this? Would you demand, for example, a mandate that 20% of new housing be affordable housing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I would like to see is us put our best thinking towards what it would look like to make housing a human right.

It was completely to highlight the fact that we believe that housing should not be a commodity. It should not be something that is sold to the highest bidder. And if you do not have the wherewithal to compete in the process of acquiring housing, then you are out of luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re seeing the ramifications of that throughout not just Oakland, but the state of California and the world, really. So we say that housing should be a right and everyone should have access to it, just like they have access to clean water, public education and all of the things that are necessary to build a basic and decent life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, you’re talking about changing the whole nature of what you call the commodification of housing and moving more toward housing for low-and, frankly, no-income people?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right. There are many people that are unable to work and have no income. There are seniors who cannot work and can’t earn the money that is necessary to afford to live here. There are people who are disabled permanently, who are born that way or through any situation that leads to disability, just unable to earn income. So are we saying that they shouldn’t have housing because they can’t afford to to live here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And even working people are out of reach for most of the housing that we see that’s coming onto the market here, [and] that’s on the market. There’s a huge problem with our entire paradigm. And we need to shift unless we want to continue to see the outcomes that we’re seeing with tent cities under every overpass and every street.

Fue “estresante”, recuerda, no ver a otras personas que se parecían a él en el campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“¿Dónde está el alcance?” Banjo, ahora un estudiante de último año, recuerda haberse preguntado. “Se supone que debemos ser un campus diverso … pero como estudiante Negro, no sentí esa representación”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Así que Banjo entró en acción para crear la comunidad que estaba buscando. Comenzó un capítulo de la NAACP en el campus y se postuló para presidente del cuerpo estudiantil, convirtiéndose en el primer hombre Negro en ser elegido para el puesto. Se asoció con la Unión de Estudiantes Negros en un programa de tutoría para estudiantes Negros que estaban considerando UC Santa Cruz para animarlos a venir a la universidad. Y el año pasado, él y otros líderes estudiantiles de toda el sistema UC fundaron la Asociación de Estudiantes Panafricanos, una coalición de sindicatos de estudiantes Negros y africanos que aboga por el bienestar de los estudiantes Negros.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los californianos \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11844364/californians-voting-to-keep-states-affirmative-action-ban\">votaron esta semana\u003c/a> por un margen de 56.1% a 43.9% para continuar con la prohibición estatal de considerar la raza, la etnia y el género en las admisiones, contrataciones y contratos de las universidades públicas. Pero las universidades están impulsando otros esfuerzos para reclutar y retener un cuerpo estudiantil diverso. A menudo, están dirigidos por estudiantes de orígenes subrepresentados como Banjo, quienes hacen tiempo para asegurarse que sus campus sean más acogedores para otros estudiantes como ellos. Dicen que aunque la Proposición 16, la medida de votación de acción afirmativa, no se aprobó, su trabajo continuará.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabe agregar que la acción afirmativa describe el proceso que toma en cuenta la raza, género, y otros factores en aplicaciones y otras solicitudes, el mismo proceso que la Proposición 16 permitiría.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los estudiantes Negros y latinos están subrepresentados en la Universidad de California en comparación con la proporción de esos grupos en la población del estado. En todo el estado, muchos estudiantes de color ingresan a la universidad pero no se gradúan. Entre los californianos que se identifican como Negros, Latinos, Indígenas e isleños del Pacífico, aproximadamente la mitad de los que asistieron a la universidad se fueron sin un título, según un informe de 2019 reporte por la Campaña para la Oportunidad Universitaria. Eso se compara con solo 20% de estudiantes asiáticos y 32% de estudiantes blancos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Universidad de California lleva a cabo programas de extensión que brindan asesoría académica y asistencia para las aplicaciones universitarias a estudiantes de secundaria de bajos ingresos, de un grupo subrepresentado o los primeros en sus familias en asistir a la universidad. Los estudiantes de secundaria que participan en los programas tienen más probabilidades que sus compañeros de ser admitidos y matriculados en la UC, según la universidad. Pero desde 2000, el presupuesto anual de esos programas ha caído de aproximadamente $85 millones en 2000 a poco más de $24 millones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y después de que California prohibiera la acción afirmativa en las universidades públicas con la Proposición 209 en 1996, también disminuyó la inscripción de estudiantes Negros e Indígenas en los programas de extensión de la UC. Temerosos de infringir la ley, los campus retiraron sus iniciativas para conectar con estudiantes de color, dijo Fabrizio Mejía, vicecanciller adjunto para la equidad y el éxito estudiantil en UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“\u003c/em>Cuando sucedió la Prop. 209, creo que todos se inclinaron hacia los conservadores. ‘No queremos que nos demanden, mantengámonos alejados de todo eso’ ”, dijo Mejía.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero en los últimos años, dijo Mejía, los líderes del campus han comenzado a buscar formas creativas de apoyar el reclutamiento y la retención a través de la recaudación de fondos de fundaciones y donantes individuales, y trabajando con los estudiantes en referendos de tarifas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La cantidad de personal de los centros de apoyo y retención en el campus de Berkeley ha aumentado de nueve a más de 25 en los últimos ocho años, dijo Mejía. Si bien los centros se enfocan en poblaciones específicas como estudiantes transferidos y anteriormente encarcelados, así como aquellos de grupos étnicos subrepresentados, sus servicios están abiertos a cualquier estudiante interesado, dijo Mejía, un elemento clave para cumplir con la Prop. 209.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero no todos los campus tienen los recursos de Berkeley o UCLA, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“\u003c/em>Es mucho más fácil (en Berkeley) porque tenemos una base de donantes más grande y una infraestructura de recaudación de fondos más grande ”, dijo Mejía. \u003cem>“\u003c/em>Una vez que la infraestructura de recaudación de fondos comprende la oportunidad de recaudar dinero con fines de equidad, se convierte en realidad. Es una oportunidad.\u003cem>“\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ayo Banjo, Asociación de Estudiantes Panafricanos, UC Santa Cruz\"]‘Estamos tratando de ayudar a dar forma a la UC como un modelo para los estudiantes Negros exitosos en la educación superior…mientras que los estudiantes Negros son compensados por esa labor como organizadores y académicos’.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nona Claypool, una estudiante de tercer año de Berkeley, trabaja con la Coalición de Indígenas Nativos en UC Berkeley, uno de los siete centros de reclutamiento y retención en el campus para grupos subrepresentados, y se esfuerza por llegar a estudiantes de colegios comunitarios de nativos americanos. Claypool, miembro de la tribu Cheyenne River Sioux, creció en Wyoming cerca de la reserva de Wind River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cuando tenía nueve años, supe que tenía que salir de Wyoming”, dijo. “Sabía que allí me faltaba la oportunidad de crecer. Entonces supe que tenía que estar, como, en la ciudad. Sabía que tenía que obtener una educación universitaria “.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claypool se mudó a California y se inscribió en Laney Community College en Oakland, cuando conoció por primera vez a la Coalición Indígena Nativa. Los estudiantes del programa la ayudaron a postularse a Berkeley y la presentaron a la comunidad Nativa allí.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspirada por su experiencia, Claypool está encuestando a estudiantes Indígenas sobre los desafíos que enfrentan para llegar a la universidad, preguntándoles sobre temas como vivienda y ayuda financiera. Ella cree que comunicarse directamente con los estudiantes es la mejor manera de identificar y abordar esos obstáculos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los nativos americanos representan aproximadamente la población más pequeña en la educación superior”, dijo Claypool. “Pero nos beneficiaríamos enormemente de la educación. Necesitamos más líderes tribales que puedan hablar a favor de las tribus y hacer valer, ya sabes, sobre políticas y leyes y cosas que afectan directamente a nuestras comunidades “.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante el verano, la Asociación Panafricana de Estudiantes se reunió con representantes de la Oficina del Presidente de la Universidad de California para discutir las formas en que la UC podría apoyar a sus estudiantes negros. Propusieron una subvención de investigación Negra que financiaría a líderes estudiantiles Negros para estudiar cómo la universidad podría mejorar el reclutamiento y la retención en su comunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entre los temas que Banjo dijo que los estudiantes esperan abordar: cómo mejorar las tasas de graduación de estudiantes Negros y por qué los exalumnos Negros de algunos campus ganan significativamente menos que los exalumnos blancos después de la graduación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Estamos tratando de ayudar a dar forma a la UC como un modelo para los estudiantes Negros exitosos en la educación superior”, dijo, “mientras que los estudiantes Negros son compensados por esa labor como organizadores y académicos”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La portavoz de la UC, Claire Doan, dijo que la universidad estaba “interesada en la idea de un programa de becas de investigación para alumnos Negros en todo el sistema” y había pedido a los estudiantes una propuesta detallada por escrito.

Fue “estresante”, recuerda, no ver a otras personas que se parecían a él en el campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“¿Dónde está el alcance?” Banjo, ahora un estudiante de último año, recuerda haberse preguntado. “Se supone que debemos ser un campus diverso … pero como estudiante Negro, no sentí esa representación”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Así que Banjo entró en acción para crear la comunidad que estaba buscando. Comenzó un capítulo de la NAACP en el campus y se postuló para presidente del cuerpo estudiantil, convirtiéndose en el primer hombre Negro en ser elegido para el puesto. Se asoció con la Unión de Estudiantes Negros en un programa de tutoría para estudiantes Negros que estaban considerando UC Santa Cruz para animarlos a venir a la universidad. Y el año pasado, él y otros líderes estudiantiles de toda el sistema UC fundaron la Asociación de Estudiantes Panafricanos, una coalición de sindicatos de estudiantes Negros y africanos que aboga por el bienestar de los estudiantes Negros.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los californianos \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11844364/californians-voting-to-keep-states-affirmative-action-ban\">votaron esta semana\u003c/a> por un margen de 56.1% a 43.9% para continuar con la prohibición estatal de considerar la raza, la etnia y el género en las admisiones, contrataciones y contratos de las universidades públicas. Pero las universidades están impulsando otros esfuerzos para reclutar y retener un cuerpo estudiantil diverso. A menudo, están dirigidos por estudiantes de orígenes subrepresentados como Banjo, quienes hacen tiempo para asegurarse que sus campus sean más acogedores para otros estudiantes como ellos. Dicen que aunque la Proposición 16, la medida de votación de acción afirmativa, no se aprobó, su trabajo continuará.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabe agregar que la acción afirmativa describe el proceso que toma en cuenta la raza, género, y otros factores en aplicaciones y otras solicitudes, el mismo proceso que la Proposición 16 permitiría.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los estudiantes Negros y latinos están subrepresentados en la Universidad de California en comparación con la proporción de esos grupos en la población del estado. En todo el estado, muchos estudiantes de color ingresan a la universidad pero no se gradúan. Entre los californianos que se identifican como Negros, Latinos, Indígenas e isleños del Pacífico, aproximadamente la mitad de los que asistieron a la universidad se fueron sin un título, según un informe de 2019 reporte por la Campaña para la Oportunidad Universitaria. Eso se compara con solo 20% de estudiantes asiáticos y 32% de estudiantes blancos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Universidad de California lleva a cabo programas de extensión que brindan asesoría académica y asistencia para las aplicaciones universitarias a estudiantes de secundaria de bajos ingresos, de un grupo subrepresentado o los primeros en sus familias en asistir a la universidad. Los estudiantes de secundaria que participan en los programas tienen más probabilidades que sus compañeros de ser admitidos y matriculados en la UC, según la universidad. Pero desde 2000, el presupuesto anual de esos programas ha caído de aproximadamente $85 millones en 2000 a poco más de $24 millones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y después de que California prohibiera la acción afirmativa en las universidades públicas con la Proposición 209 en 1996, también disminuyó la inscripción de estudiantes Negros e Indígenas en los programas de extensión de la UC. Temerosos de infringir la ley, los campus retiraron sus iniciativas para conectar con estudiantes de color, dijo Fabrizio Mejía, vicecanciller adjunto para la equidad y el éxito estudiantil en UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“\u003c/em>Cuando sucedió la Prop. 209, creo que todos se inclinaron hacia los conservadores. ‘No queremos que nos demanden, mantengámonos alejados de todo eso’ ”, dijo Mejía.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Si bien los centros se enfocan en poblaciones específicas como estudiantes transferidos y anteriormente encarcelados, así como aquellos de grupos étnicos subrepresentados, sus servicios están abiertos a cualquier estudiante interesado, dijo Mejía, un elemento clave para cumplir con la Prop. 209.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero no todos los campus tienen los recursos de Berkeley o UCLA, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“\u003c/em>Es mucho más fácil (en Berkeley) porque tenemos una base de donantes más grande y una infraestructura de recaudación de fondos más grande ”, dijo Mejía. \u003cem>“\u003c/em>Una vez que la infraestructura de recaudación de fondos comprende la oportunidad de recaudar dinero con fines de equidad, se convierte en realidad.

Claypool, miembro de la tribu Cheyenne River Sioux, creció en Wyoming cerca de la reserva de Wind River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cuando tenía nueve años, supe que tenía que salir de Wyoming”, dijo. “Sabía que allí me faltaba la oportunidad de crecer. Entonces supe que tenía que estar, como, en la ciudad. Sabía que tenía que obtener una educación universitaria “.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claypool se mudó a California y se inscribió en Laney Community College en Oakland, cuando conoció por primera vez a la Coalición Indígena Nativa. Los estudiantes del programa la ayudaron a postularse a Berkeley y la presentaron a la comunidad Nativa allí.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspirada por su experiencia, Claypool está encuestando a estudiantes Indígenas sobre los desafíos que enfrentan para llegar a la universidad, preguntándoles sobre temas como vivienda y ayuda financiera. Ella cree que comunicarse directamente con los estudiantes es la mejor manera de identificar y abordar esos obstáculos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los nativos americanos representan aproximadamente la población más pequeña en la educación superior”, dijo Claypool. “Pero nos beneficiaríamos enormemente de la educación. Necesitamos más líderes tribales que puedan hablar a favor de las tribus y hacer valer, ya sabes, sobre políticas y leyes y cosas que afectan directamente a nuestras comunidades “.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante el verano, la Asociación Panafricana de Estudiantes se reunió con representantes de la Oficina del Presidente de la Universidad de California para discutir las formas en que la UC podría apoyar a sus estudiantes negros. Propusieron una subvención de investigación Negra que financiaría a líderes estudiantiles Negros para estudiar cómo la universidad podría mejorar el reclutamiento y la retención en su comunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entre los temas que Banjo dijo que los estudiantes esperan abordar: cómo mejorar las tasas de graduación de estudiantes Negros y por qué los exalumnos Negros de algunos campus ganan significativamente menos que los exalumnos blancos después de la graduación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Estamos tratando de ayudar a dar forma a la UC como un modelo para los estudiantes Negros exitosos en la educación superior”, dijo, “mientras que los estudiantes Negros son compensados por esa labor como organizadores y académicos”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La portavoz de la UC, Claire Doan, dijo que la universidad estaba “interesada en la idea de un programa de becas de investigación para alumnos Negros en todo el sistema” y había pedido a los estudiantes una propuesta detallada por escrito. Pero, agregó, “no podemos tomar ninguna medida hasta que tengamos una idea más clara de nuestro presupuesto y si tenemos los fondos necesarios”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Prop. 16 le habría dado a la UC más flexibilidad legal para apoyar proyectos como los de Claypoole y Banjo.

Adam Schiff\u003c/strong> of Los Angeles has been omnipresent on television and radio as chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Schiff, who was an assistant U.S. Attorney and a member of the State Legislature before getting elected to Congress, proved an effective communicator during the House impeachment hearings.

Jerry Brown to be Kamala Harris's replacement as California Attorney General when she was elected to the U.S. Senate. Becerra has been the tip of California's legal sword against President Trump's policies. Becerra, often in concert with other state attorneys general, has sued the Trump Administration dozens of times over issues ranging from travel bans to environmental policies, the U.S. Census and Trump's wall along the Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, 62, was elected to Congress in 1992, representing Los Angeles until Brown named him A.G., but when asked about returning to Washington he said he prefers to live in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Gov. Newsom eyes these potential picks for political ascension, he has also long eyed higher office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is widely believed to have seen himself running for president one day, an option seemingly foreclosed at the moment by the ascension of Harris. But the former San Francisco mayor has remained quite popular with voters, receiving a 57% approval rating in an October survey from the Public Policy Institute of California. He could decide to run for the U.S. Senate when Feinstein leaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, Newsom said on Election Day that he was thrilled for Harris, who has been a kind of \"frenemy\" or political competitor since he was mayor and she was district attorney in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\"I've never seen her more happy, more confident, loose,\" Newsom said. \"She's in her element.
