As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

What I need to do is learn patience, and that I can’t get everything done in a day,” Breed said. “It’s just a natural part of my personality. If I see a pothole for example, I want the pothole fixed like now. We have so many challenges like that in the city. It’s not as if someone’s sitting around doing nothing. There’s just a lot of work to be done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed talked about cutting through that red tape and bureaucracy and removing administrative and policy speedbumps to build housing faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Especially when you talk about 100 percent affordable housing (projects) and it still takes years to build even when you have financing for a project.

Thursday’s game delivered high drama, with Golden State winning 124-114 in overtime. Cleveland’s LeBron James carried his team with 51 points, but it wasn’t enough to carry a win. We get a preview of what the rest of the finals could look like and if the Warriors are on their way to clinching their third NBA championship.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bonta Hill, 95.7 The Game co-host\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joe Vardon, Cleveland.com reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Roy Wood Jr. at Comedy Central’s Colossal Clusterfest\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comedy Central’s Colossal Clusterfest kicks off this weekend in San Francisco.

Festival-goers will also get a chance to take selfies at interactive exhibits, including a South Park-themed county fair and a presidential library consisting of tweets.

It calls for 50 pounds of rice, 50 pounds of beans, a couple of cases of canned tomatoes and several hundred tortillas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may sound like a lot, but Ryan is one of the organizers of the \u003ca href=\"https://burritoprojectsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Burrito Project\u003c/a> in San Francisco, an informal charity that makes and distributes about 500 burritos to the homeless once a month. On May 21, the group celebrated its second anniversary and rolled its 10,000th burrito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Burritos are grab and go,” Ryan says. “You can pack protein in there and some vegetables and they’re easy to eat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The desire to distribute healthy, easily portable burritos is catching on. Ryan brought the idea with him from Los Angeles, where the Burrito Project concept was born more than a decade ago. There are now a half-dozen groups in the L.A. area alone, with welcome copycats spreading across the West and as far away as Florida and Quebec.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of the entities have registered as 501(c)3 charities, but others remain completely informal. Anyone is allowed to use the name as long as they’re providing burritos and not making any money off the service. “From what I understand, we have one of the only burrito projects that runs four days a week,” says Rai Doty, a coordinator in Salt Lake City. “Four days a week, we feed 200 to 500 people a night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11671929\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11671929\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/p10404041-fb20eab30fc96338acf461f080b041ded020e027-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Some Burrito Project volunteers, including organizer Michael Walters, show up early to cook the rice and beans.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some Burrito Project volunteers, including organizer Michael Walters, show up early to cook the rice and beans. \u003ccite>(Alan Greenblatt/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The groups rely on a mix of donated food and sponsorships.

It’s still a melting pot of Mexican fruit markets, meditative cafes and radical-left bookshops, but a million-dollar apartment in the neighborhood would now be considered a steal.

Some Burrito Project outposts try to do more than occasionally feed people. During the snowy season in Salt Lake City, the group partners with Warm the Homeless, which distributes blankets, coats and hats. The long-running project in Bakersfield has been adopted by high school and church groups who hand out clothes and shoes when there are donations. Their ninth anniversary event on July 8 will provide a forum for representatives from other local groups that provide housing, health and legal assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11671932\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11671932\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/p10404221-8658ffc2a83a990dc73b97c21c2310c9408c2dac-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"You can't judge how hungry people living on the streets might be, says Emily Durenberger, pouring sauce when she's not busy orienting new volunteers.
