It’s been pretty quiet over there recently, but with the state opening back up, the skateboarding community is bringing it back to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1972, Justin Herman Plaza was built by Don Carter at the East end of the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco. This plaza contains the Vaillancourt Fountain, an ice skating rink in the winter months, and a nice open space for nearby workers to congregate while on breaks. A visitor I spoke with at Justin Herman Plaza said, “You get to be in the middle of the action downtown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Justin Herman Plaza is also home to San Francisco's most famous skate spot. “EMB,” as skaters call it, is full of ledges, stair sets and gaps. The spot first gained popularity in the early '90s, and as skateboarding began to grow, people from all over the world came to the Embarcadero to show off their skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to another skater visiting the EMB, “It’s a legendary spot to come and skate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11871659\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11871659 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Manual-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Manual-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Manual-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Manual-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Manual-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Manual-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/Manual-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nate performs a 'manual' on his skateboard. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Nate Dolan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Through the '90s, EMB remained popular, and new spots in the plaza were discovered. Mark Gonzales, a famous pro skater, created “\u003ca href=\"http://www.xgames.com/action/skateboarding/article/7360682/history-lesson-embarcadero-gonz-gap\">The Gonz Gap\u003c/a>” there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The objective of this trick was to go from the top of one particular wall, ollie off and over a 10-foot gap, and land. There was also the “Hubba Hideout,” a set of six stairs with ledges on either side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These spots were so legendary in the skate world, that they even appeared in Thrasher’s 1999 video game \"Skate and Destroy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/PEbFaOW0EQg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the skate scene at the plaza has changed since the '90s, you can still find skaters of all ages skating the plaza. Another EMB skater said, “I think it’s just as popular today as it ever has been.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The famous Embarcadero skate spot is a huge part of skateboarding culture, but for skaters, it’s just one part of San Francisco's massive skate scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>*In a November 2017 vote, San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Commission \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/SF-parks-commission-strips-Justin-Herman-s-name-12363778.php\">voted 4-2 to remove Justin Herman’s name from the plaza\u003c/a>.

The San Francisco Public Library has developed what it calls its “Browse and Bounce” program for folks to browse books with an expectation of brevity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No chairs will be available for sitting to read or to study, Breed’s office said. No studying or meeting in library branch meeting rooms will be allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Computers will be available for 50-minute stretches, however, with printers and photocopiers also available. Library staff will also be available to answer questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve missed each and every one of our library patrons, just as much as they’ve missed us and we are so proud to start welcoming them back inside,” said City Librarian Michael Lambert in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other branches will reopen “as staffing permits,” Breed’s office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So where are the staff now? Many are helping to fill up grocery bags instead of book bags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since March of last year, hundreds of librarians and other library staff have elected to work with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news-columnists/hundreds-of-sf-city-workers-take-on-emergency-roles/\">San Francisco-Marin Food Bank\u003c/a> as city “disaster service workers,” a program that reassigns city staffers when needed in emergencies. They’ve also volunteered at shelter-in-place hotels to help people who are housing insecure to quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19, or have been helping kids navigate their online classes at community learning hubs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, others are helping patrons borrow books at 15 libraries and four bookmobile locations throughout San Francisco, which will continue to allow folks to borrow books in a San Francisco Public Library To Go front door service program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to thank all of the Library staff, along with all the other City workers, who have been serving San Francisco’s COVID response for more than a year now,” Breed said in a statement. “I know that people have really been missing the library, and though we’ve adapted to provide more to-go options and online resources, there’s nothing quite like getting to browse the shelves and pick out your next book.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/jrodriguez\">Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Simley said many structural issues and problems existed before COVID-19, but the pandemic has created a more intense “pressure cooker.” She noted the importance of looking at all facets: before, during and after an incident, while also emphasizing the “tremendous” amount of race-based structural violence AAPI residents are facing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that there’s a tremendous amount of race-based structural violence that our AAPI residents face every day from housing conditions or work conditions and access to health care and other services,” she said, adding that expanding preventative education, countering anti-immigrant narratives and white supremacist extremism are also important parts of combating the problem. “And we do need systemic policy change in public services to remedy this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adrienne Pon, executive director of the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/oceia/immigrant-rights-commission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs\u003c/a> echoed the importance of an intersectional approach — noting how racial, economic, health and housing equity intersect with other facets, such as criminal justice and access to services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Addressing the hate and violence has to be about all these things,” she said. “It’s not enough to have a conversation when something bad happens. We need to have ongoing conversations and collaborations about how to solve these problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"anti-asian-attacks, anti-asian-violence\" label=\"Related Stories\"]While the overall discussions will eventually be refined into what may go into a budget, Pon said “it isn’t always about more. It’s about where you put the investment and how you sustain that support for community-based organizations that are doing the hard lifting, and for victims’ rights and services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Catherine Stefani said she wanted the AAPI community to know that she will work to find ways to address that issue, “regardless of budgets,” and that prevention is just one aspect of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is absolutely critical that every person in our city, every person visiting our city, especially those in our Asian community right now, feel safe at all times — feel that they have someone that they can go to to report crimes and feel that they have someone that can be there for them as cases go through the system,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Gordon Mar, who convened Thursday’s hearing, said it was the most comprehensive step the city has taken to date to address the rising crime statistics against AAPI community members. While he acknowledged that community-based organizations have truly stepped up to meet a large gap in rapid victim response, Mar said the onus should not just be on community organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We as a city also need to step up,” he said. “We need to ensure that where prejudice-based [crimes] and hate crimes exist, that barriers are removed, investigations are adequate and there are fair and effective consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mar said he plans to hold another hearing later this month, and to review the draft action plan at another hearing in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Simley said many structural issues and problems existed before COVID-19, but the pandemic has created a more intense “pressure cooker.” She noted the importance of looking at all facets: before, during and after an incident, while also emphasizing the “tremendous” amount of race-based structural violence AAPI residents are facing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that there’s a tremendous amount of race-based structural violence that our AAPI residents face every day from housing conditions or work conditions and access to health care and other services,” she said, adding that expanding preventative education, countering anti-immigrant narratives and white supremacist extremism are also important parts of combating the problem. “And we do need systemic policy change in public services to remedy this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adrienne Pon, executive director of the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/oceia/immigrant-rights-commission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs\u003c/a> echoed the importance of an intersectional approach — noting how racial, economic, health and housing equity intersect with other facets, such as criminal justice and access to services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Addressing the hate and violence has to be about all these things,” she said. “It’s not enough to have a conversation when something bad happens. We need to have ongoing conversations and collaborations about how to solve these problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s about where you put the investment and how you sustain that support for community-based organizations that are doing the hard lifting, and for victims’ rights and services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Catherine Stefani said she wanted the AAPI community to know that she will work to find ways to address that issue, “regardless of budgets,” and that prevention is just one aspect of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is absolutely critical that every person in our city, every person visiting our city, especially those in our Asian community right now, feel safe at all times — feel that they have someone that they can go to to report crimes and feel that they have someone that can be there for them as cases go through the system,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Gordon Mar, who convened Thursday’s hearing, said it was the most comprehensive step the city has taken to date to address the rising crime statistics against AAPI community members. While he acknowledged that community-based organizations have truly stepped up to meet a large gap in rapid victim response, Mar said the onus should not just be on community organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We as a city also need to step up,” he said. “We need to ensure that where prejudice-based [crimes] and hate crimes exist, that barriers are removed, investigations are adequate and there are fair and effective consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mar said he plans to hold another hearing later this month, and to review the draft action plan at another hearing in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

An account called \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/calikyecab/\">Cali Kye Cab\u003c/a> was reimbursing rides up to $40 for Asian Americans in the Bay Area for essential travel, particularly for women, seniors and LGBTQ people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She decided to call a Lyft ride home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once she arrived safely, Candy submitted a Venmo request to the account, along with a screenshot of the ride and a selfie. The next day, she had been fully reimbursed for the trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a sigh of relief,\" Candy said. \"But it's also very sad to have these thoughts constantly running through your mind when you're just trying to walk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CNYUEelhiPY/?utm_source=ig_embed\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cali Kye Cab is one of a handful of Instagram accounts pooling funds for AAPI people who could not otherwise afford to use ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Lyft or call a taxi. The original account, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cafemaddycab/\">Cafe Maddy Cab\u003c/a>, was started last week by 28-year-old Maddy Park, a Korean-American dentist and food blogger who lives in Brooklyn, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park said she had the idea when she was riding the subway and felt \"absolutely terrified\" thinking of headlines she'd read about anti-Asian incidents, including \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-new-york-new-york-city-hate-crimes-crime-08dd454f15a3d6c90222c3976f86c138\">attacks on the subway\u003c/a> and in train stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I started thinking about all my student days when I couldn't afford to take cabs and I chose to take the train or walk, even if it was late at night, just to save money,\" Park said. \"I thought, there must be so many people who can't afford these car rides that might be putting themselves at risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Park posted to \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cafemaddy/\">her Instagram account\u003c/a>, which has more than 50,000 followers, offering to cover ride costs for AAPI New Yorkers in need. (Her Instagram following comes in part from TikTok, where she posts popular videos \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@cafemaddy/video/6915470849327844614\">featuring Korean cooking and other recipes\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park planned to cover the costs herself, but soon donations started flooding into her Venmo account. Within the first two days, Park said she and a team of four friends had raised more than $100,000 — and requests for ride reimbursements were pouring in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CNU-b1TnjoY/?utm_source=ig_embed\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Thursday, Cafe Maddy Cab had reimbursed at least 400 of more than 1,000 requests. Park said many of the requests have come from nurses, medical personnel and other essential workers who often work night shifts. She's also received messages from people escorting older relatives to COVID-19 vaccinations and doctor appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've gotten a lot of messages of gratitude from people saying they weren't able to afford the rides and it's a huge financial relief and a safety relief that they have this option,\" Park said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Older Asian Americans\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Kye Perrot, a 39-year-old business consultant who helped organize a similar program in the Bay Area, said reaching older Asian Americans who might not be on social media is one of her top priorities. With help from a small group of volunteers, Perrot, who's Korean American, plans to pass out flyers around Bay Area bus and train stations advertising ride reimbursements in languages including Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her team also hopes younger community members will help coordinate trips for older family members who may be less familiar with ride-hailing apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just wanted it to be a resource for some people to feel a little bit more protected,\" Perrot said. \"And to not feel so scared and feel like they have a way out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='anti-asian-attacks']For Perrot and Park, their work on these programs has become like a part-time job, especially since neither were previously familiar with organizing mutual aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perrot said she spends at least five to six hours a day going through direct messages, comments and ride requests. Meanwhile, Park said she put a hold on all her other social media accounts while she works on making her reimbursement system more efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm working around the clock,\" Park said. \"If I'm not eating or sleeping or seeing a patient, I'm working on this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park said she is partnering with groups in Los Angeles, Seattle and other cities hoping to get similar ride funds off the ground within the next few weeks. As the network broadens, she hopes to be able to support community members as long as the fear of more anti-Asian attacks persists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As long as we need it, I hope we can keep running it,\" Park said. \"But the goal is for this to be unnecessary ASAP.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.

The original account, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cafemaddycab/\">Cafe Maddy Cab\u003c/a>, was started last week by 28-year-old Maddy Park, a Korean-American dentist and food blogger who lives in Brooklyn, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park said she had the idea when she was riding the subway and felt \"absolutely terrified\" thinking of headlines she'd read about anti-Asian incidents, including \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-new-york-new-york-city-hate-crimes-crime-08dd454f15a3d6c90222c3976f86c138\">attacks on the subway\u003c/a> and in train stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I started thinking about all my student days when I couldn't afford to take cabs and I chose to take the train or walk, even if it was late at night, just to save money,\" Park said. \"I thought, there must be so many people who can't afford these car rides that might be putting themselves at risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Park posted to \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cafemaddy/\">her Instagram account\u003c/a>, which has more than 50,000 followers, offering to cover ride costs for AAPI New Yorkers in need. (Her Instagram following comes in part from TikTok, where she posts popular videos \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@cafemaddy/video/6915470849327844614\">featuring Korean cooking and other recipes\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park planned to cover the costs herself, but soon donations started flooding into her Venmo account. Within the first two days, Park said she and a team of four friends had raised more than $100,000 — and requests for ride reimbursements were pouring in.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Park said many of the requests have come from nurses, medical personnel and other essential workers who often work night shifts. She's also received messages from people escorting older relatives to COVID-19 vaccinations and doctor appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've gotten a lot of messages of gratitude from people saying they weren't able to afford the rides and it's a huge financial relief and a safety relief that they have this option,\" Park said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Older Asian Americans\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Kye Perrot, a 39-year-old business consultant who helped organize a similar program in the Bay Area, said reaching older Asian Americans who might not be on social media is one of her top priorities. With help from a small group of volunteers, Perrot, who's Korean American, plans to pass out flyers around Bay Area bus and train stations advertising ride reimbursements in languages including Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her team also hopes younger community members will help coordinate trips for older family members who may be less familiar with ride-hailing apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just wanted it to be a resource for some people to feel a little bit more protected,\" Perrot said. \"And to not feel so scared and feel like they have a way out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Meanwhile, Park said she put a hold on all her other social media accounts while she works on making her reimbursement system more efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm working around the clock,\" Park said. \"If I'm not eating or sleeping or seeing a patient, I'm working on this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park said she is partnering with groups in Los Angeles, Seattle and other cities hoping to get similar ride funds off the ground within the next few weeks. As the network broadens, she hopes to be able to support community members as long as the fear of more anti-Asian attacks persists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As long as we need it, I hope we can keep running it,\" Park said. \"But the goal is for this to be unnecessary ASAP.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.
