Her father was a labor organizer in Arizona and Southern California, starting in the 1930s. “I was born into a lot of activity,” she recalled in 2010. As a freshman, she objected to the fact that there was no Spanish Club at her Campbell high school and won the right to start one by organizing her fellow students. Her desire to make things better for Mexican Americans in East San Jose began after she moved there with her husband and the couple had their son, Willie, and two daughters, Linda and Saundra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>”Before I moved to East San Jose,” Sofía once explained, “I heard that everybody that was bad lived in East San Jose. Everybody that was poor lived in East San Jose. The schools in East San Jose were no good. I never heard anything good about it. Never. When you drove around, without knowing it, just by appearance, what they were saying was true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the sweeping changes at Roosevelt, Sofía gained a greater sense of her own power and began to think about other ways that East San Jose could be improved. Law enforcement had been of great concern to her from the moment she moved there from Campbell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had never seen so many cops driving by,” she said in one 2010 speech. “In a matter of five years, cops had killed 16 people. Of course, most of them were Latino. We had no representation.” In a later interview with Santa Clara University, she recalled: “I saw cops kicking down doors in the Eastside. I saw policemen stopping people for traffic infractions at gunpoint. I saw this with my own eyes, and nobody can say I didn’t see it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102648 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/Screen-Shot-2018-03-13-at-2.07.30-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/Screen-Shot-2018-03-13-at-2.07.30-PM.png 605w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/Screen-Shot-2018-03-13-at-2.07.30-PM-160x109.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/Screen-Shot-2018-03-13-at-2.07.30-PM-240x163.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/Screen-Shot-2018-03-13-at-2.07.30-PM-375x255.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/Screen-Shot-2018-03-13-at-2.07.30-PM-520x354.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sofía channeled her concerns into organizing a march to City Hall that attracted 2,000 protesters, each objecting to what they saw as excessive use of force by San Jose’s Police Department.

"content": "\u003cp>In 1923, \u003cem>The Oakland Tribune\u003c/em> started a groundbreaking new weekly column. “Activities Among Negroes” was authored by Delilah L. Beasley, a writer unwilling to waste even an inch of her column space. In her writing, Delilah not only bucked racist stereotypes by putting an emphasis on achievements in the Black community, but also managed to shine a light on the barriers that people of color, and women, faced in their everyday lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when she was writing about local issues, Delilah’s vision was big picture.

"content": "\u003cp>Louise Arner Boyd’s life stands as incontrovertible proof that being born into privilege doesn’t always guarantee a life of ease and comfort. Born in San Rafael in 1887, Louise enjoyed an idyllic childhood bouncing between San Rafael and a lavish family farm in Danville with her two brothers and well-to-do parents. That was until the age of 13 when her big brother Seth suddenly died. Just eight months later, her other brother Jack followed, both victims of heart conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Louise’s mother, Louise Cook Arner, held herself together with a stiff upper lip, Louise’s father, John Franklin Boyd, collapsed into grief at losing his heirs. Then in 1919, tragedy struck again. John died after a fall down the stairs just six months after Louise Sr. had died of an illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=’arts_13892514′]Louise, at the age of 32, was left entirely alone, an heiress to a fortune that she had no idea what to do with. It would take five years, a couple of cross-country outings, and two long trips to Europe for Louise to figure that out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1924, Louise realized she was in possession of an unquenchable thirst for adventure that could only be satiated by the most inhospitable places on Earth. After two years of subsequent planning, she embarked on an expedition from Norway to Franz Josef Land, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean that Russia had recently seized. The islands were notoriously treacherous to reach but reach them Louise must — the adventure was the first of its kind ever planned, financed and attended by a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The journey would take six weeks, with an onboard meteorologist collecting data while Louise acted as a photographer.

Born in San Rafael in 1887, Louise enjoyed an idyllic childhood bouncing between San Rafael and a lavish family farm in Danville with her two brothers and well-to-do parents. That was until the age of 13 when her big brother Seth suddenly died. Just eight months later, her other brother Jack followed, both victims of heart conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Louise’s mother, Louise Cook Arner, held herself together with a stiff upper lip, Louise’s father, John Franklin Boyd, collapsed into grief at losing his heirs. Then in 1919, tragedy struck again. John died after a fall down the stairs just six months after Louise Sr. had died of an illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After two years of subsequent planning, she embarked on an expedition from Norway to Franz Josef Land, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean that Russia had recently seized.

Many are wondering how they can help. Here's a list of five fundraisers and ongoing relief efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Primary Fundraiser: Fire Relief Fund for Victims of Ghost Ship Oakland Fire\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youcaring.com/firevictimsofoaklandfiredec232016-706684\" target=\"_blank\">This fundraiser\u003c/a> was launched the morning after the fire, and has amassed over $200,000 and counting. \"As soon as we know the full scope of this tragedy,\" organizers say, \"we will work to distribute appropriately, and of course for funeral expenses the funds will go to the victims' families.\" The fundraiser is organized by Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, a reliable and respected nonprofit located in the former Grand Theater in San Francisco's Mission District. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youcaring.com/firevictimsofoaklandfiredec232016-706684\" target=\"_blank\">Donate here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Oakland A's and Oakland Raiders Matching-Funds Fundraiser\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Within a day, the Oakland A's launched \u003ca href=\"https://www.youcaring.com/oaklandfirevictimsfrom130531staveinoakland-706680#mlb-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">a fundraiser\u003c/a> to match donations up to $20,000; the Oakland Raiders soon joined. The response has been overwhelming enough that the matched donation level keeps rising. At press time, your donation will be matched by the MLB and NFL teams up to $50,000 each. (The Golden State Warriors have announced a $50,000 donation to the Unity Council, a nonprofit in the Fruitvale District where the fire occurred.) \u003ca href=\"https://www.youcaring.com/oaklandfirevictimsfrom130531staveinoakland-706680#mlb-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Donate here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Ghost Ship Fire: Residents Support\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While many of the fire's victims were attendees of the party, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/ghost-ship-fire-residents-support\" target=\"_blank\">this fundraiser\u003c/a> is for \"the 20 residents who have lost their home and all their belongings,\" according to organizers.
