Some analysts even began to con sider the possibility that Biden would not present himself as a Democratic presidential candidate in the 2024 elections, and began to look for a successor for him, as the only way to stop the possibility of the return of Donald Trump to the White House. But less than 3 months before the November elections and 2 years be fore the presidential elections, Biden began to meet all the characteristics that define a "Comeback Kid", a po litical feat that begins to resemble Bill Clinton's triumphant return from total adversity after his political trial, to lat er win the 1996 presidential election. In the span of a few weeks, the pic ture looks very different: Inflation was zero in July, the price of a gal lon of gasoline fell to less than $4 a gallon, Wall Street recovers, and the Democrats managed to pass by themselves the Inflation Reduc tion Act that will result in millions of green jobs, lower energy costs, the extension of Obamacare until 2025 and the renegotiation of the price of medicines under the Medicare pro Earlier,gram. Democrats joined Republi cans in passing bipartisan gun leg islation, the first passed in more than 30 years, the Chips Bill to incentivize microprocessor production, and the Pact Act to give a well-deserved support and medical coverage for war veterans. It is true that Biden's popularity re mains low, but the president is al ready planning a tour of more than 20 states in the country to show voters that at almost 80 years old he can be a "Comeback Kid", despite adversity, we can all accomplish a similar feat with our lives. And delivering results is the best lubricant to encourage political ticipation. Jose, CA

The phrase “it ain't over, 'til it's over,” attributed to American baseball leg end Yogi Berra, encapsulates a per sonal philosophy rooted in American culture: never give up in adversity because you just might, with effort or luck, change things in your favor. Of course it is not a question of a unique or exclusive idea of the North American culture. In Britain, the legendary Prime Minister Winston Churchill, a man universally recog nized for his gift of leadership and for his shrewd rhetoric, once said: "I do not intend to be buried until I am Anddead."this is all to the point because just a few weeks ago, a host of politi cal analysts had pretty much written President Joe Biden's political epi taph, arguing bad economic news, inflation, gas prices, lack of legisla tive progress, low popularity and much more.

El diccionario define el término an glo “The Comeback Kid” como una persona que demuestra repetidamente la propensión a su perar las caídas o las malas rachas, y recuperar la popularidad o lograr la victoria. Y en Estados Unidos existe una especial fascinación por las histo rias de superación de la adversidad, lo mismo en la vida personal, en la arena deportiva o en la tarima política. La frase “esto no se acaba, hasta que se acaba”, atribuida a la leyenda del béisbol estadounidense Yogi Berra, resume una filosofía personal enraiza da en la cultura de los Estados Unidos: nunca darse por vencido en la adver sidad porque es posible que, con es fuerzo o suerte, las cosas cambien a nuestro favor. Por supuesto no se trata de una idea única o exclusiva de la cultura norteamericana. En Gran Bretaña, el mítico primer ministro Winston Churchill, un hombre universalmente reconocido por su don de liderazgo y por una retórica sagaz, dijo alguna vez: “No tengo la intención de ser enter rado hasta estar muerto”. Y todo esto viene al caso porque apenas hace unas semanas, una gran cantidad de analistas políticos habían prácticamente escrito el epi tafio político del presidente Joe Biden, argumentando las malas noticias económicas, la inflación, los precios de la gasolina, la falta de avances legislati vos, su baja popularidad y mucho más. Algunos analistas incluso empezaron a barajar la posibilidad de que Biden no se presentara como candidato presidencial demócrata en las eleccio nes del 2024, y empezaron a buscarle un sucesor o sucesora, como la única manera de detener la posibilidad del regreso de Donald Trump a la Casa PeroBlanca.amenos de 3 meses de las elec ciones de noviembre y a 2 años de las presidenciales, Biden empezó a reunir todas las características que definen a un “Comeback Kid”, una hazaña política que empieza a parecerse al tri unfal regreso de Bill Clinton de la total adversidad tras su juicio político, para luego ganar las elecciones presiden ciales de 1996. En el lapso de unas semanas, el pan orama luce muy distinto: La inflación fue cero en el mes de julio, el precio del galón de la gasolina se redujo a menos de $4 por galón, Wall Street se recu pera y los demócratas lograron apro bar por si solos la ley de reducción inflacionaria que resultará en millones de empleos verdes, menos costos de energía, la extensión de Obamacare hasta 2025 y la renegociación del pre cio de las medicinas bajo el programa Antes,Medicare.los demócratas se unieron a los republicanos para aprobar una legis lación bipartidista sobre las armas de fuego, la primera aprobada en más de 30 años, la Chips Bill para incentivar la producción de microprocesadores y la Pact Act, a fin de dar un bien mer ecido respaldo y cobertura médica a veteranos de guerra. Es cierto que la popularidad de Biden sigue siendo baja, pero el presidente ya está planeando una gira por más de 20 estados del país para mostrarle a los votantes que a sus casi 80 años él puede ser un “Comeback Kid”, pese a la adversidad, todos podemos lograr una hazaña similar con nuestras vidas.

The dictionary defines the term "Comeback Kid" as a person who repeatedly demonstrates the propensity to overcome falls or bad streaks, and regain popularity or achieve victory. And in the United States there is a special fascination with stories of overcoming adversity, whether in personal life, in the sports arena or on the political stage.

Y dar resultados es el mejor lubricante para alentar la participación política.

Alexandra Parma, senior policy research associ ate with the First 5 Center for Children's Policy, said California is working to get federal approval to allow kids to stay on Medi-Cal from birth to age 5.

Suzanne Potter California News Service

Crow advised parents to ensure the county MediCal office has a current address on file, so no one loses coverage. The state held off on sending out annual renewal notices during COVID, but that will change once the pandemic state of emergency is lifted.

The program has been wildly successful. As of 2020, just 3.6% of kids in the Golden State were uninsured. Medi-Cal and CHIP serve almost 5.5 million children in the state.

"The change would allow children to be continu ously enrolled in Medi-Cal until their fifth birthday," she said, "so they wouldn't have to do those an nual renewals as under the previous policy."

Sarah Crow, First 5's managing director, said the program's biggest flaw is that too few doctors ac cept Medi-Cal, resulting in long wait times to see existing providers. "We have too few providers that accept Medi-Cal because of very low payment rates that are of fered to the MediCal program," she said, "so that's where the program suffers."

This month marks the 25th anniversary of the Children's Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP, which in California is part of Medi-Cal.

Alexandra Parma, de First Five Center for Children, dice que California ha aprobado que los niños per manezcan en Medi-Cal desde el nacimiento hasta los cinco años, pero aún se necesita la aprobación "Elfederal.cambio permitiría que los niños estén continu amente inscritos en Medi-Cal hasta que cumplan cinco años," informa Parma. "Entonces no tendrían que hacer renovaciones anuales como bajo la política anterior." Sarah Crow, también de First Five, dice que una gran falla en el programa es que muy pocos médicos aceptan Medi-Cal, lo que resulta en largos tiempos de espera para ver a los proveedores existentes. "Tenemos muy pocos proveedores que aceptan Medi-Cal debido a las tarifas de pago tan bajas que se ofrecen en el programa MediCal. Así que ahí es donde el programa sufre," dice Crow. Crow aconseja a los padres que se aseguren de que Medi-Cal tenga una dirección actual en el archivo, para que nadie pierda la cobertura. Los condados se abstuvieron de enviar avisos de reno vación anual durante el COVID, pero eso cambiara una vez que se levante el estado de emergencia por la pandemia.

Esta semana marca el 25 aniversario del Pro grama de Seguro Médico para Niños, cono cido como CHIP, que en California es parte de ElMedi-Cal.programa ha tenido un gran éxito, a partir de 2020 solo el 3.6 por ciento de los niños en el Golden State no tenían seguro. Medi-Cal y CHIP atienden a casi 5 millones y medio de niños y niñas en el estado.

"So any gap in coverage for children is a prob lem for families and a problem for our country as a whole," she said. "It pays enormous dividends to make sure that children have access to health insurance so that they can grow up healthy and Thethriving."state Legislature has steadily improved MediCal by making undocumented children eligible in 2016, and by eliminating all premiums as of July 1.

Joan Alker, del Centro para Niños y Familias de la Universidad de Georgetown, dice que aunque la mayoría de los niños son sanos, es un riesgo de masiado grande estar sin seguro médico. "Cualquier brecha en la cobertura para niños es un problema para las familias y un problema para nuestro país en general," dice Alker. "Asegurar que los niños tengan acceso a un seguro de salud paga enormes dividendos para que puedan crecer prós peros y sanos." La legislatura estatal ha mejorado constantemente Medi-Cal al hacer que niñas y niños indocumenta dos fueran elegibles desde 2016 y al eliminar todas las primas a partir del primero de julio.

Even though most children are healthy, said Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown Uni versity Center for Children and Families, it's too big a risk to go without health insurance.

A report from the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families finds that as of 2018, the national rate of uninsured children improved by almost 9% since 1997, when the CHIP program started.

Guaranteed income became a lifeline for recipients like Annette, a mother of two studying elementary education and hopes to one day own her own day care "Ifcenter.Iwere able to sit down with our coun try's leaders, I would tell them how im portant a program like the trust is. It helps low-income women like myself better our selves," she wrote. "The money has helped me in pursuing a better future for me and my kids and allows me to do things that I wasn't really able to before-like going back to school. I know if I finish school I will be a better person, and I'll be a better person for my Unfortunately,kids."

graduating is not always enough to guarantee financial success later in life. Black students, especially Black women, are still more likely to face discrimination in higher education, have student loan debt and earn less than their white male coworkers. U.S. racial and gen der wealth gaps were further exacerbat ed by the pandemic. However, researchers have found that education gaps are tightly correlated with low-income areas in a self-sustaining cy cle, with schools and children both lacking the resources they need to achieve aca Ademically.federal guaranteed income program would mitigate these economic barriers caused by systemic racism and sexism, and lift up entire communities. Recipients would have less financial stress, more control over where they live and work, and more money for tuition, tutors and school supplies. Monthly unrestricted payments would empower low-income Black moms to prioritize education and prepare their children for long-term success. As the pandemic continues to widen educational disparities, a federal investment in lowincome families would reduce education gaps across the country. Unrestricted guaranteed income pay ments do more than just help families pay the bills; the stability they provide reverber ates to the future. For single mom Chephi rah, one year of guaranteed income broke decades of generational cycles of poverty. "[Guaranteed income] has helped me cover my monthly bills, and pay for things like my daughter's school books," she said. "My hope for her right now is to be the first one in our family to graduate from high school-my brothers and I all left school early. I want her to have a real high school diploma, not a GED. I want her to go to col lege, and to just know that whatever she wants to strive for, I'm gonna be right there behind her to support her 100 percent. "You know, where I'm from, you just don't have that much hope. So seeing my daughter succeed and be motivated re ally inspires me." Katie Fleischer is a recent graduate of Smith College and a Ms. editorial assistant working on the Front and Center series.

After another school year impacted by the COVID pandemic, the longterm effects of educational dis ruptions are increasingly visible. Years of increased stress, financial burdens, and virtual schooling have affected children as well as adults: Test scores have fallen, rates of behavioral issues and absenteeism are up, and students are struggling to maintain their mental health and social skills. These effects manifest disproportionately in Black and brown families. While stu dents in majority-white schools are start ing to recover to pre-pandemic success rates, students in majority-Black schools remain five months behind pre-pandemic math and reading levels-leaving them a full 12 months behind their peers in major ity-white schools. This widening education gap is a devas tating sign that many Black children will continue to be marginalized by structural racism and classism throughout their lives. Women of color, particularly Black women, already disproportionately face systemic barriers in higher education and attaining high-paying jobs. The increased learning gap will only broaden those dis Forparities.low-income families, this education gap is particularly dire. After the expanded child tax credit (CTC) expired in January, the childhood poverty rate rose from 12% to 17%, and soared to more than 23% for Latino children and 25% for Black children. Low-income parents across the country are now struggling to provide for their families and support their children's edu cation. For example, essential worker Johnnie was forced to leave her job dur ing the pandemic to care for her daughter, highlighting some of the unique challeng es low-income working moms face: "During the pandemic, it was really hard for me because it was mandatory for me to go to work, but then my daughter was home from school and I didn't have any one to be there to help her. I ended up leaving my job because it was not safe and my daughter was not able to continue with school without my help. I didn't have any options, so I had to quit my job to help my baby. I want her to have an education and I couldn't let her fall behind." And regardless of the pandemic, many employers devalue and ignore challenges employed mothers face. Guaranteed in come recipient Sequaya was forced to choose between her job and her daugh ter's "Whensafety:school started back up this fall, I had to leave the warehouse job because there was no one to help my daughter get to and from her own school. They wanted me to work 12-hour shifts, and there's just no way to do that when you have a little kid who needs to get on and off the bus around a normal school day. I tried to get my manager to help me work around it, but he wouldn't budge. I had to be at work at 5 a.m. and her bus doesn't come until 7 a.m., and you know what he said? He said to just leave her outside and let her wait. He told me that twice. He said I had to make a decision, and so I did. I left. Mother hood comes first. But that experience hurt, even though I know I did the right thing and walked away with a smile." Both Johnnie and Sequaya were forced to make difficult decisions to prevent their children from falling behind in school. But most low-income families don't have that option. As Magnolia Mother's Trust (MMT) guaranteed income recipients, Johnnie and Sequaya had the financial ability to leave their jobs and support their chil dren's Guaranteededucation.income is a transformational economic justice policy that involves pro viding monthly payments to specific mar ginalized groups.

GUARANTEED INCOME HELPS PARENTS BOOST KIDS’ EDUCATION

• Recipients were 20% more likely to have children performing at or above grade lev el than other low-income mothers.

Guaranteed income is one way to reduce some of the structural barriers low-income children face. Unrestricted payments allow can open up a wide range of opportuni ties. Once they had a stable source of in come, MMT moms were able to prioritize education-both their children's and their own. Sabrina could transfer her son to a school designed to help with his dyslexia, and Sherika no longer had to painstak ingly save up for school supplies.

Even pub lic schools often have hidden costs for extracurriculars and advanced learning opportunities, and schools in low-income, predominately Black and brown areas are much more likely to be underfunded, un derstaffed and overpoliced.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday August 10 nominated Guerrero, 50, to be chief justice of the California Supreme Court. Already the high court’s first Latina after her March swearing-in, Guerrero would also be the court’s first Latina chief justice.

6 EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com AUG 19 - AUG 25, 2022COMMUNITY

It’s not a new problem. A CalMatters series last year found significant under-representation in many county courts — and four California coun ties with no Latino superior court judges, despite the fact that the counties’ populations were ma jority Latino.

Minsker, with Smart Justice California, called Ev ans’ nomination “a really big deal.” “She might be the only future Supreme Court justice that has direct experience working on po lice use-of-force cases,” Minsker said. “We need a California Supreme Court to counterbalance what’s happening at the U.S. Supreme Court, if we’re serious about protecting our rights.” Both nominees must be confirmed by the Com mission on Judicial Appointments, and Califor nia voters in November will be asked to confirm Guerrero for a 12-year term.

Newsom also nominated Alameda County Su perior Court Judge Kelli Evans to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court, to fill the expected vacancy created by Guerrero’s elevation to chief Evans,justice. 53, of Oakland, was raised by her grand mother in public housing and went on to attend Stanford and graduate from the UC Davis School of Law. A former civil rights attorney and civil divi sion attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, she was also special assistant to the attorney general at the California Department of Justice from 2017 to 2019. Then she became Newsom’s chief deputy legal affairs secretary. Among her influences there, ac cording to the governor’s office: helping shape Newsom’s moratorium on capital punishment.

ENGLISH Gov. Gavin Newsom has nominated sitting Supreme Court justice Patricia Guerrero to be the high court’s chief justice. She would be the first Latina chief in a state where Latinos are under-represented on the bench.

Loera, the Vida en el Valle editor, recalled that one of the first Latino judges in the Central Valley, Ar mando Rodriguez, came home from World War II and earned a law degree, but found that no one in Fresno would rent him office space. He had to look more than 20 miles away, in Madera. “When any segment of the community feels they’re being overlooked, they don’t have a trust of the system,” Loera said. “Maybe the courts are ruling correctly 99% of the time, but it’s that per ception that does impact how people look at the Feelingsystem.”like part of the system requires that the system look like you, Torres said. “We don’t want to stop with the first of anything,” Torres said. “So many of our women are the firstof: the first on a city council, the first on a regula tory board, the first chief justice. “We want to celebrate these firsts, but make sure they’re not the last.”

NEWSOM NOMINATES A LATINA TO BE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE , A FIRST Nigel CalMattersDuara In a state that doesn’t have many Latinas either sitting on the judicial bench or arguing cases before it, Patricia Guerrero would make history as chief justice on California’s highest court.

Juan Esparza Loera, editor of the Fresno Span ish-language newspaper Vida en el Valle, said he was surprised by Guerrero’s nomination to chief justice so soon after she was sworn in. But he’s happy he gets to write about another “first-in“I’vehistory.”been here 32 years, and it’s surprising to me that even in the year 2022, I’m still writing about firsts for Latinos,” Loera said. “I’ll be happy when I start writing about seconds and thirds.”

When trying to read the tea leaves on the next chief justice, handicappers look at the history of elevating sitting justices versus choosing some one entirely new. “The judge in my case doesn’t have to look like me, but it shouldn’t be true that there are no judges who look like me.”

A former lawyer in private practice, Guerrero was also a federal prosecutor before she became a judge in San Diego County Superior Court and, in 2017, became an appellate judge in California’s Fourth District Court of Appeal. She grew up in the Imperial Valley, and her parents were immi grants from Mexico, and graduated from Stan ford Law School. Newsom called her “a widely respected jurist with a formidable intellect and command of the law.” A colleague at her Fourth District confirma tion hearing in 2017 recalled how she finished a brief on her way to give birth to her son, and co ordinated filing the brief hours later.

David A. Carrillo, executive director of Berkeley Law’s California Constitution Center, said in an email that diversifying the court first became a priority under former Gov. Jerry Brown in the 1970s.

Minsker pointed to Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the sitting chief justice, who last month announced her plan to retire in January. Cantil-Sakauye was responsi ble for the judicial orders that closed courtrooms during the onset of the pandemic and instituted zero-dollar bail for some lower- level crimes. “She had a particular awareness of how difficult the legal system is for people with no resources,” Minsker said. “Rich people have fancy lawyers and get justice. Cantil-Sakauye tried to do some thing to address that.”

Race alone, of course, does not dictate how someone will rule on cases. Results from stud ies trying to tease out the link between race or ethnicity and judicial conduct have been mixed. A Yale study found that having Black judges made white judges adhere more closely to sentencing equity for both Black and white defendants. Cor nell Law School researchers found that judges, like everyone else, have implicit biases that can affect their rulings. And in a 2012 comparative study of white judges and judges of color, a Northwestern Univer sity law professor found that white judges were particularly more likely to dismiss cases involv ing plaintiffs of color than those involving white Butplaintiffs.the way individual judges rule on specific cases matters less than the perception of justice, said Helen Torres, CEO of Hispanas Organized for Political Equality. A 2016 study in Texas of Latino attitudes on jus tice after the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court found that Latinos were more aware and approving of the court after her “Theyappointment.hadmore confidence in the judiciary,” Tor res said. “It builds trust in the system that repre sents you.”

“Doing so is crucial to both the perception and the reality that those who administer justice re flect the state’s diversity,” Carrillo wrote. “The judge in my case doesn’t have to look like me, but it shouldn’t be true that there are no judges who look like Guerrerome.”racked up immediate public support from state Senate Judiciary Committee chair person Tom Umberg and Assembly Speaker Anthony GuerreroRendon.wouldbe taking on both a judicial and administrative job, said Natasha Minsker, policy advisor for Smart Justice California, which ad vocates for policies it hopes lessen reliance on incarceration. She would effectively be the head of the third branch of government, and her deci sions would have far-reaching consequences.

The numbers in 2022 remain grim for Latinos overall in California’s judiciary. More than 62% of all trial court judges are white, as are more than 70% of appellate court judges. Latinos, by contrast, make up just 12% of trial court judges and 7% of judges in the appellate court, though they make up 39% of the state.

Newsom seemingly split the difference, nominat ing a sitting justice who was just elevated to the Supreme Court in March.

Pero la forma en que los jueces individuales fallan en casos específicos importa menos que la percepción de la justicia, dijo Helen Torres, directora ejecutiva de Hispanas Or ganizados por la Igualdad Política. Un estudio 2016 en Texas de las actitudes latinas sobre la justicia después de la desig nación de Sonia Sotomayor a la Corte Su prema de los EE.UU. encontró que los latinos estaban más conscientes y aprobaban la corte después de su designación. “Tenían más confianza en el poder judicial”, dijo Torres. “Genera confianza en el sistema que te representa”. Al tratar de leer las hojas de té sobre el próx imo presidente del Tribunal Supremo, los valorados de discapacidades miran la histo ria de elevar a los jueces en ejercicio frente a elegir a alguien completamente nuevo. “El juez de mi caso no tiene que parec erse a mí, pero no debería ser cierto que no haya jueces que se parecen a mí”.

En un estado que no tiene muchas la tinas sentadas en el estrado judicial o discutiendo casos, Patricia Guerrero haría historia como presidenta del tribunal supremo de California. El gobernador Gavin Newsom nominó el miércoles 10 de agosto a Guerrero, de 50 años, como presidente del Tribunal Supre mo de California. Ya es la primera latina en el alto tribunal después de su juramentación en marzo, Guerrero también sería la primera presidenta de justicia latina de la corte. Guerrero, exabogada en la práctica privada, también fue fiscal federal antes de conver tirse en jueza en el Tribunal Superior del Condado de San Diego y, en 2017, se con virtió en jueza de apelaciones en el Tribunal de Apelaciones del Cuarto Distrito de Cali fornia. Creció en el Valle Imperial, sus padres eran inmigrantes de México y se graduó de la Facultad de Derecho de Stanford. Newsom la llamó “una jurista muy respetada con un intelecto formidable y un dominio de la ley”. Un colega en presente en su au diencia de confirmación del Cuarto Distrito en 2017 recordó cómo terminó un escrito cuando iba camino a dar a luz a su hijo y coordinó la presentación del escrito horas Juandespués.Esparza Loera, editor del periódico en español Vida en el Valle de Fresno, dijo que estaba sorprendido por la nominación de Guerrero a presidente del Tribunal Supremo tan pronto después de que ella prestó jura mento. Pero dijo que está feliz de poder es cribir nuevamente sobre otra “primera en la “Llevohistoria”.aquí 32 años y me sorprende que in cluso en el año 2022 sigo escribiendo sobre las primicias de los latinos”, dijo Loera. “Seré feliz cuando empiece a escribir sobre se gundos y terceros”. Los números en 2022 siguen siendo som bríos para los latinos en general en el poder judicial de California. Más del 62% de to dos los jueces de los tribunales de primera instancia son blancos, al igual que más del 70% de los jueces de los tribunales de apel Losación.latinos, por el contrario, representan solo el 12 % de los jueces de los tribunales de primera instancia y el 7 % de los jueces de los tribunales de apelación, aunque consti tuyen el 39 % del estado. No es un problema nuevo. Una serie de CalMatters del año pasado encontró una subrepresentación significativa en muchos tribunales del condado, y cuatro condados de California donde no hay jueces de cortes superiores que sean latinos, a pesar de que la población de los condados era mayoritari amente latina. La raza por sí sola, por supuesto, no dicta cómo alguien fallará en los casos. Resulta dos de estudios que intentan desentrañar el vínculo entre la raza o el origen étnico y la conducta judicial han sido mezclados. Un estudio de Yale encontró que tener jueces de raza negra hizo que los jueces blancos se adhirieran más a la equidad de sentencia tanto para los acusados de raza negra como para los blancos. Los investiga dores de la Escuela de Derecho de Cornell encontraron que los jueces, como todos los demás, tienen sesgos implícitos que pu eden afectar sus fallos. Y en un estudio comparativo de 2012 de jueces blancos y jueces de color, de un profesor de derecho de la Universidad de Northwestern encontró que los jueces blan cos eran particularmente más propensos a desestimar los casos que involucraban a demandantes de color que aquellos que in volucraban a demandantes blancos.

NEWSOM NOMINA A JUEZA QUE PODRÍA SER LA PRIMERA

Newsom también nominó a la jueza de la Corte Superior del Condado de Alameda, Kelli Evans, para ser jueza asociada en la Corte Suprema, para llenar la vacante espe rada creada por el ascenso de Guerrero a presidente del Tribunal Supremo. Evans, de 53 años, de Oakland, fue criada por su abuela en una vivienda pública y lu ego asistió a Stanford y se graduó de la Fac ultad de Derecho de UC Davis. Exabogada de derechos civiles y abogada de la división civil del Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU., también fue asistente especial del fiscal general en el Departamento de Justicia de California de 2017 a 2019. Luego se convirtió en la subsecretaria prin cipal de asuntos legales de Newsom.

From a plethora of wonderful noodle options to the Mexican/Central American fare, the booths along side the edges of Lands End and on the walk to Twin Peaks stages were busy and filled with great Myfood.top pick was Mamahuhu, a responsibly sourced Chinese-American restaurant in San Francisco who brought to Outside Lands Tomato Garlic Chow Mein, an extremely popular Sweet and Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and my personal favorite, a crispy and delicious Sweet and Sour Chicken plate which left me wanting more. So yes, I will be heading to Mamahuhu’s next time I’m near Clement street. Outside Lands came a mere 10 months after its special October iteration, and it felt like a treat get ting another one in less than a year, but after every weekend I am left happy, tired, full, and hopeful with the promise of next August’s group of artists and food options. So here we are again, post-OSL, just thinking of what next year’s lineup and opportuni ties for fun at Golden Gate Park.

Empress Of is one of those artists I came upon be cause the timing was right during the day, and was able to catch her wonderful, energetic set in the Sutro Stage located within Lindley Meadow. Her music can best be described as a mix of synth pop, electronica, R&B; and if you took these sounds and mixed them with the music video for “Maniac” from the movie Flashdance.

It was only 10 months ago that the special Hal loween version which took place on the spookiest weekend of the year brought out the costumes and permanently chilly weather. This year however it seemed like the warmest weekend to date for the Golden Gate Park festi val, with many a sunburn seen. Regardless, with enough hydration and time spent in the plentiful shade of the sweeping Monterey Cypress trees, this year’s festival was a nice return to what is ex pected out of an Outside Lands festival, with the beautiful natural sights, amazing food and drink options, laid back attitude, and of course the di verse range of sounds.

Music

The headliners were as follows: Green Day, Post Malone, SZA, Jack Harlow, Wee zer and Phoebe Bridgers. A good mix of the most popular acts around currently mixed in with the 90’s mainstays that continue to entertain on stages across the world. My highlights included Green Day, Post Malone, along with some smaller acts that helped round out the eclectic sounds you get from a weekend at Golden Gate Park. Green Day was incredible, might even say the set of the weekend. Of course it helps when you are one of the most popular rock bands from the last few decades, and are playing in your Bay Area home to thousands of people that can simultaneously belt out your lyrics, but I give the band the most credit for finely tuning a performance that had no dead air time, not one moment where they didn’t capti vate the audience at the Lands End stage.

Lorely Rodriguez is the Honduran-American singer, songwriter, and producer behind the sounds and lyrics of Empress Of, which kept the crowd at Sutro Stage active and interested, going from up-tempo love songs to crooning lo fi ballads, her take on pop music is wonderful and fused with retro vibes and the more recent power pop high energy. Surely a highlight for many and definitely someone to keep an eye Anotheron.memorable show was Thuy, a Vietnam ese-American Bay Area native who played much appreciated smooth modern R&B tracks on the Panhandle stage on Saturday. With a command ing, ethereal voice, Thuy blends modern R&B and pop sensibilities with an edge and is unmistakably rooted in her musical heroes growing up: the Brit ney’s, the Aguilera’s etc. In a bridging of Bay Area music solidarity, Thuy brought out special guest P-Lo, one of the modern mainstays of hyphy music, to rap his famous 2017 hit “Put Me On Something” to the roar of Thuy’s Evenaudience.without the energetic rap break, Thuy’s per formance was well worth catching, and a definite recommendation to stream when you’d like to hear the new wave of Bay Area R&B. The Eats The food is one of the main highlights at Outside Lands every year, and this year was no different in terms of options and deliciousness.

The warm mornings that burn off into cool crisp nights returned to festival goers this year as Outside Lands made its return to a more regularly scheduled August timeline.

Outside Lands 2023 will take place August 11-13, 2023. More info at sfoutsidelands.com.

OUTSIDE LANDS 2022: BACK TO WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE AND BELOVED BAY AREA FESTIVAL A Look at Highlights of This Year’s Summer Music Icon

Arturo Hilario El Observador Mac Dre. Turf dancing. Ghost riding. These are many of the words that will bring a nostalgic smile to the face of anyone who lis tened to rap music in the early part of the 21st century in Northern California. Hyphy music was part of the larger hyphy movement, which in it included street danc ing known as turfing, unlicensed car shows known as sideshows, and a dynamic view of art and politics.

We Were Hyphy will have its world premiere at Cinequest Film Festival on Saturday Au gust 20, with an encore on Sunday August 28. More information available at cinequest.org. So to start off, I was just curious to know what initially inspired you to want to tell this story about the hyphy movement? I grew up in the Bay Area, I grew up in Antioch and then went to SF State in San Francisco after, so I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life. I'm 33, so I was in high school going into the early 2000s, around the time when the hy phy movement was really taking off in the Bay Area. So, for me, it's always been a really fun, exciting, special time in my life, definitely. Also, it kind of coincided with my coming of age when I was becoming an adult. And I've just always held the music, the culture, the fashion, the cars, all that, I've always had that really close to me. So I knew one day, study ing film at SF State, I was like, "it might be cool, somehow to do some kind of movie that takes place during that era", because at that time, I was just planning on being, a narrative film maker, not documentary.

I was sitting on, like, ten terabytes of un watched footage, two years of filming - I kind of just put it off. But then with the pandemic, it's like I was just sitting in my house. It was re ally locked down, like you could barely go to the grocery store. So I was, like, sitting with all that footage, and I was like, "you know what, man? It's now or never, if you start off this now or it's not going to get done." So, it really kind of humbled me and centered me and got me to get to work. And then once the lockdown started open ing back up, we had a little bit more focus and knew exactly who we want to talk to and what we wanted to talk to them about. And then that final year of 2021, we just filmed the rest of the movie, and then I finished the edit, and then we basically wrapped it up early 2022. So it's like four years in the making. So could you tell me a bit about what the documentary entails? What is the connect ing thread to the story or what you're trying to tell here about the hyphy movement? For context, I think it's important to say this is one of many, many, many approaches to tell ing that story. The hyphy movement, I think it's a massive thing to cover and one movie is just not nearly enough. So I'd say this is one of many to come. I hope this excites people to tell their own version of the story or their own per spective because there's a lot. Each element of hyphy could be its own docu mentary series, like just side shows, just slang, just music, so it was hard to fit it all in. But I'd say what "We Were Hyphy" is about is it's hopefully like a good 101 to any people that maybe don't know anything about hyphy, people not from the Bay Area at that time. So we tried to really make it accessible for an outside audience. But then I hope for those from that area, from that generation, I hope it's a good nostalgic fun trip and look back and also maybe a little bit more of a deep dive into the certain parts of the culture. Like, if someone's really into cars, maybe they can learn a little bit more about the slang, the fashion, or the music. So it's supposed to be a nostalgic, fun trip for the old school cats and then, like, a good in troduction for the people outside. And I think what I really try to do with this was kind of make it for my generation of Bay Area natives. Specifically, like our age, where we were in high school, coming of age at that time. It's supposed to be kind of like a coming-ofage story for that generation of 'baydestrians', as they say, and come through that perspec tive. Then even for the more famous people, near the end of the movie it shows the passing of the torch from the E-40, Too Short, Mistah F.A.B., Keak generation to this new generation, like P-Lo, Kamaiyah, HBK, G-Eazy, all those guys. So it's kind of about the two generations kind of overlapping and how the old gen eration that created hyphy, like Mac Dre WE WERE HYPHY: NEW DOCUMENTARY CAPTURES THE SCARCELY HIGHLIGHTED SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE BAY AREA’S EARLY 2000’S RAP SCENE

But once I got older and started working, I drifted more towards documentary. I always wanted to make a movie about the Bay Area and that time specifically because it was like a once a lifetime moment. I don't think there’s a lot of light shed on it, too. So that's the passion, I guess, where it came from. So in terms of how you get the ball rolling for this, how did you actually get that pro cess started? Who did you get involved and what was the timeline like? It was actually originally the producer, Jason O’Mahony, it was his idea. So we were working together at the time at an education company in the video department filming educational videos. He did not grow up in the Bay Area, but he's a big appreciator of cool stuff, especially if it's local. So I'd always share with him, like, Mac Dre songs and sideshow videos. I taught him all about it, and he was really fascinated by it. And one day he just approached me at work, he's like, "We should make a little short, just, like, documentary or just a short video piece about hyphy and put it on YouTube or some Andthing."I was like, "yeah, I'm down. That sounds good, man." So we were working the whole time, but after work and on weeknights and on weekends, we spent time just trying to reach out to people, figure out how to get this thing Andmade.it just started as a small little passion project. Then once we finally started meeting some people, like our first real big connec tion was Nump, the creator of the famous "I Got Grapes" song, and we met him, he kind of started introducing us to other people, and we met Mistah F.A.B., and that was an amaz ing Theninterview.westarted going to Oakland First Fridays with a camera, and we just started hanging out, filming people dancing and going down. And then we started meeting all the car guys, like Falcon Dave with the Falcon Boys. And he gave us a [video] download of the old school car culture, where the side shows kind of grew from, the original Oakland scene.

And then it just started snowballing, at a cer tain point, we were really picking up a lot of footage and started really developing the sto ry more because we were learning a lot about the hyphy movement. I felt like I was an expert on Bay Area hip hop and that era, but there's so much more to it than just the music side. It's like a whole cul tural movement. So I learned a lot and started doing research and it just kind of evolved at a certain point [to] where we should just try to make a feature with our own means. A lot of people volunteered their time behind and in front of the camera. Every interview is people them just agreeing to do it for free and volunteering. And then a lot of filmmakers and other artists contributed to the creating of the film. A big one was we met D-Ray and Gary Archer, who are Bay Area legends, and they were, like, a big part of the movement when it was going on. And D-Ray came on as an executive producer and she gave us a ton of guidance, but she also joined the team and gave us access to just thousands and thousands of photos from that Iera.think she might be the only photographer that was taking high quality pictures at that time because this is like right before the smart phone, kind of inaccessible. So whatever foot age of the hyphy movement is kind of just like Treal TV, like, Go Dumb USA and then, like, DRay's photos. It's really not that documented.

Director Laurence Madrigal talks about his personal journey to document the history of a musical and cultural movement with the help of those who experienced it

Director Laurence Madrigal, whose documentary We Were Hyphy is having its world premiere this year at Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, CA.

I had read that the pandemic stopped your progress, could you talk about how that affected the project? We were really moving, and then we're really about to finish and had a lot of traction, and then covid hit, so we had to take kind of like a year off filming and we didn't know how long it would last. And then at that point, I hadn't started editing it yet, and I decided to jump in and start just going through the interviews and piece it to gether. And that was huge, I'm actually really glad I did that because that kind of redirected a lot of ways the story was going and gave me a lot more insight. I knew I wanted to edit the movie or at least do the basic editing myself because I just didn't know really where to go with it. Even if I was to work with an editor, I wouldn't really have a lot of direction to give them at first, but I think I was really intimidated to jump into it.

The sound of the Bay Area’s rap scene at that time was centralized within and around the borders of Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose to the South. Hyphy, a mesmerizing slang to “hyperactive”,be was a call to anyone that wanted to let loose in a hedonistic moment that would eventually be lost to time. It was a moment that is so easily defined by the artists, dance styles, fashion and political environment, but at the same time one that has never had its real time in the limelight of popular culture. That is until recently, when scholarly articles, reflections and now a full feature documenta ry want to exhume that moment in cultural his tory and give it its due diligence and analysis. Laurence “Larry” Madrigal is a lifelong Bay Area native who studied film at San Francis co State University and whose sonic palette was influenced greatly by hyphy music in his adolescence. His new documentary, We Were Hyphy examines the world that hyphy music shaped, from its legendary musical artists to the broader cultural effects that it brought to the Bay Area and beyond. We recently had the chance to talk to Larry about his own experiences with the hyphy movement, how it led to wanting to create a documentary about it, and how collaboration with those that lived and created the move ment allowed for it all to become a reality.

The era of hyphy was an event in time that is rarely discussed or documented. I feel like there is a need for this documentation of this slice of life of the Bay Area, so I do also hope that your documentary is a start to more documentation of the hyphy movement. It's a historical event, and I think it wasn't always looked at that way. It was like, “oh, they're just like crazy, jump ing out of cars” and stuff. It was a historical event that I think should be in the history books, just like the hippies and all that stuff in the sixties. Why would you recom mend that folks check out We Were Hyphy?

I think for me the reasoning behind why people should go check it out is right now at least in the mainstream film coverage of the Bay Area, like Netflix and major studio mov ies, I feel like there's a lot of coverage, a lot of stories that take place in Silicon Valley, we had The Dropout that came out last year, there's the show Silicon Valley. And I think hyphy is kind of a cool spotlight on a different Bay Area born culture that is contrastingly different than that and not a lot of people know about. But I think it can be really inviting and fun, and I think people will have a good time watching it and I think learn a lot more about a dif ferent side of the bay that's not typically covered in main stream media.

La música hyphy formaba parte del movimiento hyphy más amplio, que incluía el baile callejero conocido como turfing, los espectáculos de coches sin licencia conocidos como sideshows, y una visión dinámica del arte y la política. El sonido de la escena del rap del Área de la Bahía en aquella época se centralizaba dentro y alrededor de las fronteras de Oakland, San Francisco y San José al sur. Hyphy, una jerga hipnótica para ser " hiperactivo", era una llamada a cualquiera que quisiera soltarse en un momento he donista que acabaría perdién dose en el tiempo. Fue un mo mento tan fácilmente definido por los artistas, los estilos de baile, la moda y el entorno político, pero que al mismo tiempo nunca ha tenido su momento real en el candelero de la cultura popular. Eso es hasta hace poco, cu ando artículos académicos, reflexiones y ahora un docu mental completo quieren ex humar ese momento de la his toria cultural y darle su debida diligencia y análisis.

ENTERTAINMENTENGLISH and all those guys, in spired these young kids and now what they're doing now. So in the course of re searching for this documen tary, was there anything specific that was really sur prising finding out about? The big one was diving into the more academic analysis of the social and political cli mate at that time. And I give all that credit to Pendarvis Harshaw from KQED's Right nowish podcast. He's like in sanely knowledgeable and just grew up in Oakland at the time and just very present in that period, in this place in Oakland. And he just kind of woke us up to like, why things like the hyphy movement don't happen in a vacuum. There's a reason and kind of started unpeeling this kind of narrative or kind of story of [how] it was a reaction to an era. And then later on, as we continue making the movie, I was doing a ton of research while I was editing, just deep diving online and that kind of led me on a rabbit trail. I kind of like stumbled upon Dr. Andrea L.S. Moore's Disserta tion that she wrote in gradu ate school called 'How Hyphy Sparked a Social Movement'. Read the whole paper and then found her email address online, she's a professor at the Sac State, and just sent her a cold email, like, "Yo, I just read your paper. It was mind blowing. I'm a super huge fan of your work now and we're working on this documentary and are you interested in get ting Andinvolved?"sheresponded super, like, enthusiastic and was like, "of course, let's do this." And then we had an amazing in terview with her and she just been such a great resource. In front of the camera as an interview, but I just ask her questions and she's always down to hop on a call and she just has a deep knowledge of this subject. That whole div ing deeper than just the fun side was really fascinating and challenging and those two were a big part of that. Then on another note, I think just learning more about turf dancing and where it came from. So big shout out to the TURF FEINZ and Ice cold3000. Because they re ally were just super warm and inviting and invited us into their whole world and we were able to film some pretty, I'd say beautiful cinematog raphy with them and just learning the whole history of turfing in Oakland and what it stands for and [how] it was meant as a way of communi cating and kind of like spon taneity of emotions and stuff. As someone that has spent so much time involved in making a documentary about hyphy music, what would be some of your suggestions for someone that is not familiar with it, if they wanted to do a little research? I say start with just listening to the music. It all roots from the music. As Droopy in the [doc umentary] says, “hyphy was a reflection of the streets,” but the music is exactly that. Hy phy came from the streets, the music kind of document ed it and then it became like a soundtrack for the streets. So it's kind of like this circle. Start with Mac Dre. From my perspective, it kind of started with Mac Dre. Not just his music, but his whole persona and just like his interest in car culture and the way he acted and dressed. Trackademicks says in the movie, he's like "the personification of hyphy." So Mac Dre is a good start ing point. And then obviously E-40. I mean, he's the ambas sador of the Bay. He really helped bring that culture to the national level along with Too Short and "Blow the Whistle". So Mac Dre, E-40, Too Short, Mistah F.A.B. and Keak Da Sneak - those guys were like the young guys at the time, but they really ex panded it. I'd definitely check out Treal TV, the TV series. We were lucky to interview Thizz Na tion CEO Kilo Kurt, who was also one of Mac Dre's best friends, which was such a fascinating interview be cause learning more about Mac Dre as a person. But he also was like, "you can use some Treal TV footage." And I watched a ton of Treal TV when I was in high school because there was no social media. That was the closest thing we had, I think, to hyphy social media. So yeah, I'd say those things, but the music is a great start.

Laurence "Larry" Madrigal es un nativo del Área de la Bahía de toda la vida que estudió cine en la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco y cuya pal eta sonora estuvo muy influ enciada por la música hyphy en su adolescencia. Su nuevo documental, We Were Hy phy, examina el mundo que la música hyphy moldeó, desde sus legendarios artistas mu sicales hasta los efectos cul turales más amplios que trajo al Área de la Bahía y más allá. Recientemente tuvimos la oportunidad de hablar con Larry sobre sus propias ex periencias con el movimiento hyphy, cómo le llevó a querer crear un documental sobre él, y cómo la colaboración con los que vivieron y crearon el mov imiento permitió que todo se hiciera realidad.

ESPAÑOL WE WERE HYPHY: UN NUEVO DOCUMENTAL CAPTA LAS IMÁGENES Y LOS SONIDOS DE LA ESCENA DEL RAP DE PRINCIPIOS DE LOS AÑOS 2000 EN EL ÁREA DE LA BAHÍA

Para empezar, me gustaría saber ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró inicialmente a querer contar esta historia sobre el movimiento hyphy? Me crié en la Área de la Bahía, crecí en Antioch y después fui a la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco, así que he vivido en la Área de la Bahía toda mi vida. Tengo 33 años, así que estaba en el instituto a principios de la década de 2000, en la época en la que el movimiento hipnótico estaba despegando en la Área de la Bahía. Así que, para mí, siem pre ha sido una época muy di vertida, emocionante y espe cial en mi vida, definitivamente. Además, coincidió con mi mayoría de edad, cuando me convertí en adulto. Y siempre he tenido la música, la cultura, la moda, los coches, todo eso, siempre lo he tenido muy cer ca. Así que un día, estudiando cine en la Universidad de San Francisco, me dije: "podría ser genial, de alguna manera, hacer algún tipo de película que tenga lugar durante esa época", porque en ese mo mento, yo estaba planeando ser un cineasta narrativo, no un Perodocumental.cuandome hice mayor y empecé a trabajar, me decanté más por el documental. Siem pre quise hacer una película sobre la Área de la Bahía y esa época en concreto, porque fue un momento único en la vida. No creo que se haya arrojado mucha luz sobre ello. Así que esa es la pasión, supongo, de donde surgió. En cuanto a la forma de poner en marcha el proceso, ¿cómo lo hiciste? ¿A quiénes involucaste y cómo fue el cronograma? En realidad fue originalmente el productor, Jason O'Mahony, fue su idea. Entonces traba jábamos juntos en una em presa de educación en el de partamento de vídeo, filmando vídeos educativos. Él no creció en el Área de la Bahía, pero es un gran apreciador de las co sas buenas, especialmente si son locales. Así que siempre compartía con él, por ejem plo, canciones de Mac Dre y vídeos de espectáculos. Le enseñé todo sobre ello, y es taba realmente fascinado por ello. Y un día se acercó a mí en el trabajo y me dijo: "De beríamos hacer un pequeño documental o un vídeo corto sobre la hipnosis y subirlo en YouTube o algo así". Y yo estaba como, "Sí, le entro. Eso suena bien, hombre". Así que estábamos trabajando todo el tiempo, pero después del trabajo y en las noches de la semana y los fines de semana, pasamos el tiempo tratando de llegar a la gente, averiguar cómo conseguir que esta cosa se haga. Y empezó como un pequeño proyecto de pasión. Luego, cu ando empezamos a conocer a algunas personas, nuestra primera gran conexión fue Nump, el creador de la famosa canción "I Got

Baile en el césped. Cabalgata fantasma.

Red Line does not print. It represents the 3” safety area. Please verify critical elements are within the safety area.

Pero espero que para los de esa zona, de esa generación, sea un buen viaje nostálgico y di vertido, y una mirada al pasado, y también una inmersión un poco más profunda en ciertas partes de la cultura. Por ejemplo, si a alguien le gustan mucho los coches, quizá pueda apre nder un poco más sobre la jerga, la moda o la Asímúsica.que se supone que es un viaje nostálgico y divertido para los gatos de la vieja escuela y luego, como una buena introducción para la gente de fuera. Y creo que lo que realmente tra té de hacer con esto fue una especie de hacer para mi generación de nativos del Área de la Bahía. Específicamente, como nuestra edad, donde estábamos en la escuela secundaria, la mayoría de edad en ese momento. Se supone que es una especie de historia de la mayoría de edad de esa generación de "baydestrianos", como ellos dicen, y que pasa por esa perspectiva. Incluso para los más fa mosos, hacia el final de la película se muestra el paso de la antorcha de la generación de E-40, Too Short, Mistah F.A.B., Keak a esta nueva gen eración, como P-Lo, Kamaiyah, HBK, G-Eazy, todos ellos. Así que se trata de que las dos gen eraciones se superpongan y de cómo la vieja generación que creó el hyphy, como Mac Dre y todos esos tipos, inspiró a estos jóvenes y lo que están haciendo ahora. Durante la investigación para este documen tal, ¿hubo algo concreto que te sorprendiera realmente?

Cada elemento de la hyphy podría ser una se rie documental propia, como los espectáculos paralelos, la jerga y la música, así que era difícil encajarlo todo. Pero yo diría que "We Were Hy phy" es como un buen 101 para cualquier per sona que tal vez no sabe nada acerca de hyphy, la gente no de la Área de la Bahía en ese mo mento. Así que tratamos de hacerlo realmente accesible para un público externo.

Empieza con Mac Dre. Desde mi punto de vista, todo empezó con Mac Dre. No sólo su música, sino toda su personalidad y su interés por la cul tura del automóvil y su forma de actuar y vestir. Trackademicks dice en la película, que es como "la personificación de la hyphy". Así que Mac Dre es un buen punto de partida. Y luego, obviamente, E-40. Es el embajador de la Bahía. Realmente ayudó a llevar esa cultura a nivel nacional junto con Too Short y "Blow the Whistle". Así que Mac Dre, E-40, Too Short, Mistah F.A.B. y Keak Da Sneak - esos tipos eran como los jóvenes de la época, pero realmente lo Definitivamente,expandieron.

Lo más importante fue sumergirse en el análi sis más académico del clima social y político de la época. Y le doy todo el crédito a Pendarvis Harshaw del podcast Rightnowish de KQED. Él es como increíblemente conocedor y acaba de crecer en Oakland en el momento y fue muy presente en ese período, en este lugar en Oak land. Y él sólo nos despertó a como, por qué las cosas como el movimiento hyphy no ocur ren en el vacío. Hay una razón y comenzó a de senredar este tipo de narrativa o tipo de historia de [cómo] fue una reacción a una era. Y más tarde, mientras seguíamos haciendo la película, hice un montón de investigaciones mientras editaba, buceando profundamente en Internet y eso me llevó a un camino de conejo. Me topé con la disertación de la Dra. Andrea L.S. Moore, que escribió en la escuela de posgrado, titulada "How Hyphy Sparked a Social Move ment". Leí todo el documento y luego encontré su dirección de correo electrónico en línea, ella es un profesor en el Estado de Sac, y sólo le en vió un correo electrónico frío, como, "Yo, acabo de leer su papel. Fue alucinante. Ahora soy una gran fan de su trabajo y estamos trabajando en este documental, ¿está interesada en partici Ypar?"ella respondió súper, como, entusiasta y fue como, "por supuesto, vamos a hacer esto". Y luego tuvimos una entrevista increíble con ella y ella acaba de ser un gran recurso. Delante de la cámara como una entrevista, pero yo sólo le hago preguntas y ella siempre está dispuesta a saltar en una llamada y ella sólo tiene un profun do conocimiento de este tema. Toda esa inmer sión más allá del lado divertido fue realmente fascinante y desafiante y esos dos fueron una gran parte de eso. Luego, en otra nota, creo que sólo aprender más sobre el baile del césped y de dónde vino. Así que un gran saludo a los TURF FEINZ y a Icecold3000. Porque realmente fueron muy cálidos y acogedores y nos invitaron a todo su mundo y pudimos filmar algunas bonitas, yo diría que hermosas cinematografías con ellos y aprender toda la historia del turfing en Oakland y lo que representa y [cómo] se significó como una forma de comunicación y tipo de esponta neidad de las emociones y esas cosas. Como alguien que ha dedicado tanto tiempo a la realización de un documental sobre la música hipnótica, ¿Cuáles serían algunas de tus sugerencias para alguien que no esté fa miliarizado con ella, si quisiera investigar un poco? Yo digo que hay que empezar por escuchar la música. Todo nace de la música. Como dice Droopy en el [documental], "Hyphy era un reflejo de las calles", pero la música es exacta mente eso. Hyphy surgió de las calles, la música la documentó y luego se convirtió en la banda sonora de las calles. Así que es como un círculo.

Grapes", y lo conocimos y él empezó a pre sentarnos a otras personas, y conocimos a Mistah F.A.B., y fue una entrevista increíble. Entonces empezamos a ir a los Primeros Vi ernes de Oakland con una cámara, y empeza mos a pasar el rato, a filmar a la gente bailando y dejándose llevar. Y entonces empezamos a conocer a todos los chicos de los coches, como Falcon Dave con los Falcon Boys. Y él nos dio una descarga [de vídeo] de la cultura de los coches de la vieja escuela, donde los espectáculos laterales tipo de creció, la escena original de Oakland. Y entonces empezó a crecer, en un momento dado, recogimos mucho material y empezamos a desarrollar más la historia porque estábamos aprendiendo mucho sobre el movimiento Mehipnótico.sentía como un experto en el hip hop de la Área de la Bahía y en esa época, pero es mucho más que el aspecto musical. Es como todo un movimiento cultural. Así que aprendí mucho y empecé a investigar, y en cierto punto evolu cionó hasta el punto de que debíamos intentar hacer un reportaje con nuestros propios me dios. Mucha gente se ofreció para trabajar de trás y delante de la cámara. Todas las entrevistas son de personas que aceptan hacerlo gratis y de forma voluntaria. Y luego muchos cineastas y otros artistas con tribuyeron a la creación de la película. Uno de los más importantes fue que conocimos a DRay y a Gary Archer, que son leyendas del Área de la Bahía, y fueron una parte importante del movimiento cuando estaba en marcha. Y D-Ray se incorporó como productora ejecutiva y nos orientó mucho, pero también se unió al equipo y nos dio acceso a miles y miles de fotos de esa Creoépoca.que ella podría ser el único fotógrafo que estaba tomando fotos de alta calidad en ese momento porque esto es como justo antes de que el teléfono inteligente, tipo de inaccesible. Así que todo el material del movimiento hyphy es como Treal TV, como, Go Dumb USA y luego, como, las fotos de D-Ray. Realmente no está tan documentado. He leído que la pandemia detuvo su pro greso, ¿podrías hablar de cómo afectó eso al proyecto? Estábamos realmente en movimiento, y luego estabamos realmente a punto de terminar y tenía un montón de tracción, y luego golpeó el Covid, así que tuvimos que tomar algo así como un año fuera de la filmación y no sabía mos cuánto tiempo iba a durar. Y en ese momento, aún no había empezado a editarlo, y decidí empezar a revisar las entrev istas y a reconstruirlo. Y eso fue enorme, en realidad estoy muy contento de haberlo hecho porque eso redirigió muchas de las formas en que la historia se estaba desarrollando y me dio mucha más información. Sabía que quería editar la película o, al menos, hacer el montaje básico yo mismo, porque no sabía realmente hacia dónde ir. Incluso si tra bajara con un editor, no tendría muchas indica ciones que darle al principio, pero creo que me intimidaba mucho lanzarme a ello. Tenía diez terabytes de material sin ver, dos años de rodaje, y lo dejé de lado. Pero luego con la pandemia, es como si estuviera sentado en mi casa. Estaba realmente cerrado, como si apenas pudiera ir a la tienda de comestibles. Así que estaba, como, sentado con todo ese mate rial, y yo estaba como, "¿sabes qué, hombre? Es ahora o nunca, si empiezas esto ahora o no se va a hacer". Así que, realmente me humilló y me centró y me hizo ponerme a trabajar. Y luego, una vez que el cierre comenzó a abrirse de nuevo, tuvimos un poco más de enfoque y sabíamos exactamente con quién queríamos hablar y de qué queríamos hablar con ellos. Y luego ese último año de 2021, acabamos de filmar el resto de la película, y luego terminé la edición, y luego básicamente lo terminamos a principios de 2022. Así que son como cuatro años de trabajo. ¿Podrías hablarme un poco de lo que con tiene el documental? ¿Cuál es el hilo con ductor de la historia o de lo que intenta con tar aquí sobre el movimiento hyphy? Para contextualizar, creo que es importante decir que este es uno de los muchos, muchos, muchos enfoques para contar esa historia. Creo que el movimiento hipnótico es algo enorme y una sola película no es suficiente. Así que diría que esta es una de las muchas que vendrán. Espero que esto anime a la gente a contar su propia versión de la historia o su propia per spectiva, porque hay muchas.

me gustaría ver Treal TV, la se rie de televisión. Tuvimos la suerte de entrevis tar a Kilo Kurt, director general de Thizz Nation, que además era uno de los mejores amigos de Mac Dre, lo cual fue una entrevista fascinante porque nos permitió conocer mejor a Mac Dre como persona. Pero también me dijo: "puedes usar algunas se cuencias de Treal TV". Y vi una tonelada de Tre al TV cuando estaba en la escuela secundaria porque no había medios sociales. Eso era lo más cercano que teníamos, creo, a los medios sociales hipnóticos. Así que sí, diría que esas cosas, pero la música es un gran comienzo. La era del hyphy fue un acontecimiento en el tiempo que rara vez se discute o se docu menta. Siento que hay una necesidad de esta documentación de esta rebanada de la vida de la Área de la Bahía, por lo que tam bién espero que tu documental es un co mienzo para más documentación del movimiento hyphy. Es un acontecimiento histórico, y creo que no siempre se vio así. Era como, "oh, están como locos, saltando de los coches" y esas cosas. Fue un acontecimiento histórico que creo que debería figurar en los libros de historia, al igual que los hippies y todas esas cosas de los años sesenta. ¿Por qué recomiendas a la gente que vea We Were Hyphy? Creo que la razón por la que la gente debería ir a verlo es que ahora mismo, al menos en la cobe rtura cinematográfica de la Área de la Bahía, como Netflix y las películas de los grandes estu dios, siento que hay mucha cobertura, muchas historias que tienen lugar en Silicon Valley, tuvi mos The Dropout que se estrenó el año pasa do, está la serie Silicon Valley. Y creo que hyphy es una especie de foco de atención en una cultura diferente del Área de la Bahía que es contrastantemente diferente y que no mucha gente conoce. Pero creo que puede ser realmente atractivo y divertido, y creo que la gente se lo pasará bien viéndolo y creo que aprenderá mucho más sobre un lado dife rente de la Bahía que no suele aparecer en los medios de comunicación convencionales.

Changes in how to prevent COVID-19 at the start of the pandemic as medical profession als were learning about the disease may have sown distrust in the wisdom of authorities on the issue. Cook acknowledged doctors are more cognizant of it now. "We've all learned how to try to deliver those messages in a more clear way to help people understand that the message isn't necessar ily changing, but the information that we have does evolve over time," Cook stated.

interesarnos simplemente porque es una enfermedad bastante importante y es miserable tenerla para algunas personas," dice Cook. "Eso explica por qué debemos hacer todo lo posible para tratar de controlarla." Los cambios en la forma de prevenir COVID-19 al comienzo de la pandemia, cuando los profe sionales médicos estaban aprendiendo sobre la enfermedad, pueden haber sembrado desconfi anza en las autoridades. Cook dice que los médi cos son más conscientes de eso ahora. "Hemos aprendido como tratar de entregar esos mensajes de una manera más clara para ayudar a las personas a comprender que el mensaje no necesariamente cambia, pero la información que tenemos evoluciona con el tiempo," asegura Cook.

Dr. Mark Cook, medical director of gender health for Kaiser Permanente in Seattle, said monkeypox has been known to medical pro fessionals since the 1970s, but the virus has now begun a troubling trend of spreading from person to person.

monkeypox is spread through skin-to-skin contact, and so the best way to prevent getting the disease is not to touch people who are infected. He pointed out it is related to smallpox but is much less severe. A vaccine is available, but it is in short supply. There are close to 12,000 cases nationwide. Cook noted fortunately, there have not been any reported deaths from the virus. But he added monkeypox is uncomfortable and peo ple who are infected have to be isolated for a few weeks. There can also be scarring from the "Weblisters.should be concerned simply because it is a pretty significant illness, and it's miserable to have it for some people," Cook stressed. "That alone, I think, speaks to why we should do our very best to try to control it."

Cook dice que la viruela del mono se propaga a través del contacto de piel con piel, por lo que la mejor manera de prevenir contraer la enfer medad es no tocar a las personas infectadas. Él dice que está relacionado con la viruela, pero es mucho menos grave. Hay una vacuna disponible, pero escasea. Hasta ahora hay cerca de 12,000 casos en todo el país. Cook dice que afortunadamente, no se han re portado muertes por el virus. Pero agrega que la viruela del mono es incomoda y las personas infectadas deben aislarse durante algunas se manas. También puede haber cicatrices por las "Deberíaampollas.

El doctor Mark Cook es director médico de salud de género en Kaiser Permanente en Seattle. Él dice que los profesionales médicos conocen la viruela del mono desde la década de 1970, pero ahora el virus ha comenzado una tendencia pre ocupante de propagación de persona a persona. "Los síntomas son fiebre, dolor corporal, glándu las inflamadas, fatiga y una erupción característi ca: pequeñas vesículas redondas que pueden aparecer en la piel y en muchas partes diferentes del cuerpo," explica Cook.

Sin embargo, añade Skinner-Dorkenoo, sigue existiendo un prejuicio hacia los matrimonios de la misma raza en muchas familias, incluida la de “MeRichard.iba a casar con Sonia pasara lo que pas ara”, dice, describiendo el rechazo inicial de sus padres a su futura esposa. Sólo después de que su padre cayera enfermo, y después de que sus padres conocieran a sus nietos, “abrieron real mente sus corazones a nosotros”.

La pareja decidió desde el principio criar a sus hijos en una casa multilingüe. “Lo hemos llamado ‘culture proofing our home’, para salvaguardar su identidad”, dice Sonia. “Nos aseguramos de traer productos, libros y películas, todo lo que se pa rece a nuestra familia de forma auténtica”.

de creciente polarización políti ca y tensión racial, la historia de Sonia y Richard Kang ofrece una narrativa alternativa que cada vez es más habitual en Estados Unidos. “Conocí a Richard y tenemos hijos que son mul tirraciales y pienso: ¿cómo vamos a hacer que esto sea mejor para ellos?”, dijo Sonia, cuyo pa dre es afroamericano y cuya madre es mexicana. “Al crecer, siempre supe que no encajaba muy bien”, recuerda sobre su educación en los años 80 en Hawai y Los Ángeles, una época en la que el pelo rubio, los ojos azules y las grandes ondas eran el estándar. “Yo tenía la piel más oscura y el pelo rizado y apretado. Tenía el apellido Smith en una zona predominantemente latina en la escuela, pero hablaba español. Así que siempre sobresalí”. Lo mismo le ocurría a Richard, el marido de So nia. “Me di cuenta de que había algo diferente en nuestra familia”, dice sobre su infancia creciendo como hablante de coreano en un barrio pre dominantemente blanco. La pareja compartió su experiencia durante una rueda de prensa de Ethnic Media Services el 5 de agosto, que abordó el aumento de los matri monios interraciales en un contexto de aumento de los delitos de odio y de profundización de la polarización política. Los datos del censo de 2020 muestran que la “raza mixta” es la categoría de más rápido creci miento bajo la identidad racial, y según el Centro de Investigación Pew, alrededor del 17% de los nuevos matrimonios son parejas interraciales. Todo ello se produce en un momento en que las ciudades de todo el país vieron un aumento sig nificativo de los ataques por motivos raciales du rante la pandemia de la COVID-19, lo que sacudió a las comunidades y contribuyó a aumentar las tensiones.

EL AUMENTO DE LOS MATRIMONIOS INTERRACIALES ES UNA CONTRANARRATIVA AL ODIO Y LA DIVISIÓN

Según Justin Gest, profesor asociado de la Es cuela de Política y Gobierno de la Universidad George Mason, el aumento de los matrimonios interraciales ofrece una respuesta a la creciente “separación, polarización y parte de la violencia que estamos viendo en nuestro país”.

Gest, autor del libro de 2022 “Majority Minority”, que estudia las sociedades en las que los gru pos religiosos o raciales dominantes perdieron su ventaja numérica, dice que las familias como los Kang son una “poderosa forma de superar la política de división que se da en las sociedades que sufren muchos cambios demográficos”. Eso incluye a EE.UU., donde los demógrafos predicen que en 2045 los blancos no hispanos ya no serán mayoría. “Cuando la gente se casa, básicamente se de sarma la política de polarización y división”, seña la Gest. “Estas relaciones difuminan esos límites. No permiten que los políticos y otros utilicen el alarmismo para dividirnos.”

Los matrimonios interraciales estuvieron prohi bidos en EE.UU. hasta la sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 1967, Loving contra Virginia. Entre 2010 y 2020, el número de uniones interraciales se triplicó, según los datos del censo. Las uniones más comunes son las de blancos y asiáticos, y las de blancos y latinos, y sólo el 20% de las parejas interraciales son entre dos perso nas no blancas. California es el líder en cuanto a número de matrimonios interraciales, y Hawái le sigue de cerca. Y según Allison Skinner-Dorkenoo, profesora adjunta de Ciencias del Comportamiento y del Cerebro y de Psicología Social en la Universidad de Georgia, se ha producido un “gran aumento” en la representación de las parejas interraciales en los medios de comunicación, lo que se cor relaciona con los datos que muestran que el 94% de los estadounidenses aprueban estas uniones.

Sonia, presidenta de la organización sin ánimo de lucro Multicultural Families of Southern Cali fornia, creó un negocio de ropa infantil llamado Mixed-Up Clothing, con la intención de utilizar la moda como vehículo para hablar de temas de cultura, diversidad e inclusión. “Sabía que había algo en la ropa que aportaba esa sensación de ser uno mismo, y quería du plicar ese sentimiento”, dijo. “El hecho de que la gente lo entienda y se tome el tiempo de ver que hay belleza en la diversidad ha ayudado real mente a dirigir la conversación”.

She identifies as African American, Mexi can, and Puerto Rican. He is Korean American but didn’t speak English until he was school age. They met and got married in Los Angeles and had four children who they are “raising intentionally” in a multicultural, multi racial, and multilingual home.

“I met Richard and we have children who are multiracial and I’m thinking: how are we going to make this better for them,” said Sonia, whose father is African American and whose mother is “GrowingMexican.up

At a time of increased political polarization and racial tension, Sonia and Richard Kang’s story offers an alternative narrative that is increas ingly becoming the norm in the United States.

That includes the US, where demographers predict that by 2045 non-Hispanic whites will no longer be the majority. “When people are intermarrying, it basically disarms the politics of polarization and divi sion,” Gest notes. “These relationships blur those boundaries. They don’t allow politicians and others to use fear mongering to divide us.”

The couple decided early on to raise their chil dren in a multi-lingual house. “We’ve called it ‘culture proofing our home,’ to safeguard their identity,” Sonia said. “We made sure that we brought in products, books, and movies, all that look like our family in an authentic way.”

Gest, author of the 2022 book “Majority Minor ity,” which looks at societies where dominant religious or racial groups lost their numerical advantage, says families like the Kangs are a “powerful way for people to overcome the di visive politics that take place in societies under going a lot of demographic change.”

I just always knew I didn’t fit in very well,” she recalled of her upbringing in the 80s in Hawaii and LA, a time when blond hair, blue eyes, and big waves were the standard. “I was darker skinned and had tight curly hair.

So I always stuck Itout.”was the same for Richard, Sonia’s husband. “I could tell there was something different about our family,” he says of his childhood growing up as a Korean speaker in a predominantly white Theneighborhood.coupleshared their experience during an August 5 media briefing organized by Ethnic Media Services looking at the rise in inter racial marriages amid a backdrop of increasing hate crimes and deepening political polarization.

RISE IN INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE A COUNTER NARRATIVE TO HATE AND DIVISION

Gest, associate professor at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government, the rise in interracial marriages offers a counter to the increasing “separation, polarization and some of the vio lence that we’re seeing in our country.”

Interracial marriages were prohibited in the US until the 1967 Supreme Court decision Loving vs. Virginia. Between 2010 and 2020, the num ber of interracial unions jumped threefold, ac cording to census data. The most common unions are white and Asian, and white and Latino, with only 20% of all inter racial couples being between two nonwhite partners. California is the leader when it comes to the number of interracial marriages, with Ha waii a close second. And according to Allison Skinner-Dorkenoo, assistant professor of Behavioral and Brain Sci ences & Social Psychology at the University of Georgia, there has been a “great increase” in media representation of interracial couples, which correlates with data showing 94% of Americans approving of such unions. But, Skinner-Dorkenoo adds, there is still a lin gering bias toward same race marriages in many families, including Richard’s.

Sonia, president of the non-profit Multicultural Families of Southern California, created a chil dren’s clothing business named Mixed-Up Clothing, with the intention to use fashion as a vehicle to talk about issues of culture, diversity, and inclusion. “I knew there was something in clothing that brings in this sense of self, and I wanted to du plicate that feeling,” she said. “The fact that folks are getting it and taking the time to see that there’s beauty in diversity has really helped to steer the conversation.”

Data from the 2020 census shows that “mixed race” is the fastest growing category under racial identity, and according to the Pew Re search Center, about 17% of new marriages are interracial couples. All of that comes as cities nationwide saw a significant surge in racially motivated attacks during the Covid 19 pan demic, rattling communities and contributing to growing Accordingtensions.toJustin

El gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, dio a conocer el día 11 de agosto una amplia estrategia para reforzar el suministro de agua del estado que incluye objetivos para reciclar más agua, ampliar el almacenamiento de em balses y recopilar más datos sobre las cantidades que usan los agricultores. Newsom advirtió que las nuevas estrate gias son esenciales porque el suministro de agua de California se reducirá en un 10 % a medida que el cambio climático traiga condiciones más cálidas y secas en todo el estado. El plan, sin embargo, tiene detalles limita dos, plazos lejanos y no incluye un man dato de conservación del agua. Tampoco incluye medidas para abordar sustancialmente el uso del agua por parte de la agricultura, que utiliza aproximada mente cuatro veces más agua en Califor nia que lo que las personas en áreas urba nas consumen. En la estrategia se incluyen posibles sub venciones para campos en barbecho y programas para recopilar datos oportu nos sobre la cantidad de agua superficial que utilizan los agricultores. También plan tea la posibilidad de regulaciones para re stringir el bombeo de ríos y arroyos por parte de los productores más allá de las emergencias por sequía. La nueva estrategia menciona que la ad ministración estatal de un sistema de derechos de agua complejo y arcaico, ar raigado desde la fiebre del oro, necesita cambios. “Eso es algo en lo que (Newsom) se apoyará”, dijo Anthony York, un por tavoz del gobernador a CalMatters. “Eso es un gran problema para la agricultura”. A pesar de la sequía en curso que afecta al estado, las estrategias del goberna dor no aumentarán la cantidad de agua disponible para las áreas urbanas y las granjas en el futuro cercano: por ejemplo, establece una meta para 2030 de reciclar 800,000 acres-pie de agua para 2030, un 8% de aumento de la cantidad reciclada en 2020. La sequía “no es una situación coyuntural. Es la nueva realidad. Y no podemos con servar nuestra salida de esto dado cómo ha cambiado nuestro clima”, dijo York. En el documento de 19 páginas publi cado el jueves pasado, la administración de Newsom describió los esfuerzos que incluyen reforzar los suministros de agua reciclada y la capacidad de almace namiento, tanto en los embalses como en las aguas subterráneas. Se incluye: Aumentar la desalinización de agua salubre en 28,000 acres-pie por año para 2030 y 84,000 acres-pie por año para 2040. Un acre-pie de agua puede servir en promedio a tres hogares del sur de California por un año. Ampliar el almacenamiento de agua subterránea y embalse en aproxi madamente 4 millones de acres-pie, a través de una mayor recarga de agua sub terránea, captura de aguas pluviales, final ización de proyectos de almacenamiento y expansión o rehabilitación de embalses y presas existentes.

• Finalizar los estándares de efi ciencia del agua para casas y negocios exigidos para 2018 “de manera que tenga sentido en cada Considerregión”.arreglas u otras formas de “agilizar y modernizar el sistema de derechos de agua, aclarar los derechos de agua de las personas mayores y esta blecer tarifas más equitativas”. El informe también promocionó la con trovertida política del estado propuesta de túnel para volver a conectar el delta Sacramento-San Joaquín y bombear más agua hacia el sur. Alcalde de Antio quía Lamar Thorpe criticó el plan del tú nel durante los comentarios del jueves con Newsom, aunque expresó su apoyo al resto de la estrategia de agua de la ad Lasministración.estrategias ya estaban “identificadas ampliamente” en la cartera de resiliencia del agua del estado, dice un comunica do de prensa, “pero ahora se acelerarán dada la urgencia de los cambios provoca dos por el clima”. Peter Gleick, cofundador y miembro sé nior de The Pacific Institute, un grupo de expertos mundial sobre el agua, aplaudió el anuncio, pero señaló sus limitaciones.

“Muchas de las cosas en esta estrategia son importantes, muchas de estas cosas deben hacerse. Todos ellos deben hac erse más rápido. Y hay algunas lagunas”, dijo Gleick. “Aquí hay muy poco para la agricultura… un desafío difícil, porque hay menos perillas y palancas que el estado puede girar y torcer aquí”.

Para los usuarios urbanos, Newsom no ha seguido los pasos del exgobernador Jerry Brown, quien impuso un mandato de conservación en todo el estado. New som hasta ahora prefirió dejar los detalles a las agencias locales de agua en lo que él ha llamado un “mandato de mandatos Perolocales”.el uso del agua no ha disminuido sustancialmente bajo sus medidas volun tarias. El uso urbano cayó alrededor de un 7.6% en junio en comparación con hace dos años, pero solo un 2.7% desde julio pasado en comparación con el mismo tramo en 2020.

La conferencia de prensa del jueves con la planta de desalinización de agua salubre de Antioch como telón de fondo, llega in mediatamente después de una encuesta que revela que más de dos tercios de los adultos californianos encuestados dicen que los gobiernos estatales y locales de ben hacer más para combatir la sequía actual, según una encuesta reciente del Public Policy Institute of California. El anuncio de Newsom también sigue a una renuncia de alto perfil de un funcio nario del departamento de agua de Cali fornia que criticó a la administración por “casi destripar” la “capacidad de abordar grandes desafíos” de la junta estatal de Newsomagua. hizo un llamado a la Legislatura, en sus últimas semanas de sesión, a “agili zar los procesos para que los proyectos puedan planificarse, permitirse y constru irse más rápidamente, mientras se pro tege el medio ambiente”.

“Many of the things in this strategy are im portant, many of these things need to be done. All of them need to be done faster. And there’s some gaps,” Gleick said. “There’s very little in here for agriculture … a hard challenge, because there are fewer knobs and levers that the state can turn and twist here.”

It also does not include measures to sub stantially address water use by agriculture, which uses about four times more water in California than people in urban areas use.

The new report mentions that the state’s ad ministration of a complex and archaic water rights system — entrenched since the Gold Rush — needs changes. “That is something (Newsom) will lean into,” Anthony York, a spokesperson for the governor, told CalMat ters. “That’s a huge deal for ag.”

Considering rules or other ways to “streamline and modernize the water right system, clarify senior water rights, and es tablish more equitable fees.”

The strategies released were already “identi fied broadly” in the state’s Water Resilience Portfolio, a news release says, “but they will now be expedited given the urgency of cli mate driven changes.”

RachelCalMattersBecker

A key theme of the strategy is expediting permitting for a range of projects, including groundwater recharge and desalination. At the briefing, Newsom bemoaned what he called the “regulatory thickets” slowing these efforts, and pledged to work with the Legis lature in its last weeks of session to “help us fast track these projects.”

Newsom’s announcement also follows a high-profile resignation of a California water official who lambasted the administration for “nearly eviscerat(ing)” the state water board’s “ability to tackle big challenges.”

Newsom warned that new strategies are essential because California’s water supply will shrink by 10% as climate change brings warmer, drier conditions throughout the Thestate.plan, however, has limited details, distant deadlines and does not include a water con servation mandate.

Included in the plan are possible grants to fallow fields and programs to collect timely data on how much surface water growers use. It also floats the possibility of regulations to curtail growers’ pumping from rivers and streams beyond drought emergencies.

Gov. Gavin Newsom outlined a strategy to bolster the state’s shrinking water supply at a press confer ence with a desalination plant under construction in Antioch as a backdrop on Aug. 11, 2022.

For urban users, Newsom has not followed in the footsteps of former Gov. Jerry Brown, who imposed a statewide conservation mandate. Newsom has thus far preferred to leave the details to local water agencies in what he has called a “mandate of local man Newsomdates.” said Thursday that his voluntary approach came out of a comprehensive analysis of lessons learned from the last drought. “One of the principal recommenda tions in that report was do not impose onesize-fits-all,” Newsom said. He said he has met twice with water agency leaders to tell them, “You’ve got to step up your conserva tion efforts, or we will impose these state wide mandates.”

The report also touted the state’s controver sial tunnel proposal to replumb the Sacra mento-San Joaquin Delta and pump more water south. Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe criticized the tunnel plan during remarks on Thursday with Newsom, although he voiced support for the rest of the administration’s water Askedstrategy.duringthe briefing about often-heard, far-fetched ideas such as container ships ferrying water from Canada and the Pacific Northwest, Newsom answered, “I assure you, we have some more novel ones…that are more interesting. But that’s for later.”

But water use has not substantially declined under his voluntary measures. Urban usage dropped by about 7.6% in June compared to two years ago, but only 2.7% since last July compared to the same stretch in 2020.

Last week’s press conference, with a back drop of a brackish-water desalination plant in Antioch that is under construction, comes on the heels of a poll revealing that more than two-thirds of Californian adults surveyed said that state and local governments must do more to combat the current drought.

• Finalizing water efficiency stan dards for houses and businesses called for by 2018 “in ways that make sense in each region.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled Thursday August 11 a broad strategy for bolstering the state’s water supply that includes targets to recycle more water, expand reservoir storage and collect more data on the amounts farmers use.

Despite an ongoing drought that grips the state, the governor’s strategies will not in crease the amounts of water available to ur ban areas and farms in the near future: For instance, it sets a 2030 target for recycling 800,000 acre-feet of water by 2030 — an 8% increase from the amount recycled in 2020. The 2040 target climbs to 1.8 million Theacre-feet.drought “is not a short-term situation. It’s the new reality. And we cannot conserve our way out of this given how our climate has changed,” York said. In the 19-page document released on an nouncement, the Newsom administration outlined efforts that include bolstering re cycled water supplies and storage capacity, both in reservoirs and groundwater. Included are: Increasing desalination of brackish water by 28,000 acre-feet per year by 2030 and 84,000 acre-feet per year by 2040. An acre foot of water can serve on average three Southern California households for a year. Expanding reservoir and ground water storage capacity by about 4 million acre-feet — through more groundwater recharge, stormwater capture, completing storage projects and expanding or rehabili tating existing reservoirs and dams.

“The time to get these damn projects is ridic ulous. It’s absurd. It’s reasonably comedic,” Newsom said. Newsom recently moved to streamline permitting for renewable energy projects, a contentious effort that lawmakers called “rushed” and “lousy.”

Newsom called on the Legislature, in its last weeks of session, to “streamline processes so projects can be planned, permitted and built more quickly, while protecting the envi ronment.”

Peter Gleick, co-founder and senior fellow at The Pacific Institute, a global water thinktank, applauded the announcement, but noted its limitations.
