San Francisco Foundation Celebrates 75 Years of Tackling Bay Area's Biggest ChallengesWith $1.6 billion in assets, the San Francisco Foundation is one of the largest community foundations in the country.

Some of the foundation’s efforts include helping hotel workers win fair wages and benefits, advocating for mixed-income public housing in San Francisco to prevent displacement and implementing a volunteer-based policing program in Oakland’s Chinatown to combat anti-Asian hate crimes.

15 Years Ago, Prop 8 Banned Gay Marriage in California; What Do You Remember?Proposition 8 passed 15 years ago this month, banning same-gender marriage in California. Two couples — one lesbian, one gay — sued to overturn the proposition and succeeded, with gay marriage made legal in California in 2013. The trial was videotaped, but those tapes didn’t become public until last year. That inspired KQED reporters Scott Shafer and Carlos Cabrera-Lomeli to invite those two couples to watch their testimony and reflect on how much LGBTQ rights have changed — and how far we’ve yet to go. We’ll talk with them and with plaintiffs Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, and we’ll hear from you: What do you remember from Prop 8?
