CALL 988: CALIFORNIA FINDS $20 MILLION TO HELP PAY FOR NEW CRISIS HOTLINE
Jocelyn Wiener CalMatters
Soon,Californians will be able to dial a new threedigit number when seeking help for a mental health crisis.
After weeks in which funding to make the hotline work in California seemed uncertain, the state Department of Health Care Services announced late today that it would spend $20 million to help support the 9-8-8 network — billed as a “robust statewide call center” designed to be an alternative to 9-1-1 calls.
The money “is a first step towards creating an easier to access system for mental health care. But it’s just a first step,” Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg said in a statement. The Steinberg Institute he founded had advocated for even more money. “We’re going to continue to fight for sustained funding for a mental health crisis response system that includes mobile crisis teams and appropriate follow-up care. Our jails and emergency rooms can no longer be our primary treatment for people in crisis.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statement declaring that the money would help ensure “call centers have capacity and are equipped to help all callers so we can meet Californians where they are and expand resources and support during these difficult times.”
As CalMatters reported earlier this week, mental health advocates had struggled in the waning days of this legislative session to garner some $50 million they estimate is needed to support the call centers and related crisis response services. A bill that would impose a fee on phone lines in California — both cell phones and landlines — stalled earlier in the summer.
Advocates had warned that absent more funding, the state’s 13 existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline call centers — where 9-8-8 will direct callers – might not be equipped to handle the anticipated tripling of call volume. In the worst case scenario, they said, people who are suicidal could find themselves waiting on hold, or even having their calls dropped.
Le Ondra Clark Harvey, CEO of the California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies, which includes the state’s 13 call centers, had told CalMatters that the situation was “pretty dire.” Clark Harvey said that call centers have already seen a 67% increase in volume in recent years, and the pandemic has only intensified the pressure.
In October 2020, President Donald Trump signed into law a bipartisan bill to make 9-8-8 the national number to call for people in crisis; providing an alternative to 9-1-1. The federal law gives states the ability to raise money to fund the call centers, as well as related mental health crisis services, by attaching new fees to phone lines.
Phone fees challenged
Bill supporters had pushed for a fee that would be capped at 80 cents per line per month. It would have been used to support a range of services, including adding staffing and infrastructure to the existing 13 call centers. The money would also have been used to connect the 9-8-8 and 9-1-1 systems and build out mobile crisis response services to allow trained professionals to intervene in person, when needed.
Supporters of California’s bill to pass those fees, AB 988, faced opposition from the telecommunications industry, which sought to narrow the scope of what services fees can cover.
In a last ditch effort to find a way to fund call centers and crisis services for the next year, a coalition of supporters had requested $50 million be included in a budget trailer bill before the session ends Sept. 10.
“There’s no disagreement on the policy and the needs here,” Gamboa-Eastman said. “Everyone’s just trying to figure out what’s feasible at this point to make sure we’re getting ready for next year.”
“Every American should be doing everything they can to get those in crisis help when and where they need it, and not working on tying the hands of those who can provide it.”
-U.S. SENS. RON WYDEN, JEFFREY MERKLEY AND CHRISTOPHER MURPHY
Carolyn McIntyre, president of the California Cable & Telecommunications Association, said her organization had opposed requiring consumers to pay not just for the call centers, but also for other types of crisis services needed to respond to those calls. While advocates pushed a per-line fee capped at 80 cents, the telecommunications association wanted a 10-cent cap, with a limited scope of what it can cover. “We are not opposed to the program, not by any means,” McIntyre had said.
While saying her organization would be willing to compromise to fund “the communications aspect” of 9-8-8 with a small fee, she had contended that other services should be funded through the general fund or some other source.
As it is, a quarter of the cost of consumers’ phone bills is made up of fees to support a variety of services, including 9-1-1, she had said — a list the industry doesn’t want to keep growing.
In July 2021, three U.S. senators, Democrats Ron Wyden and Jeffrey Merkley of Oregon and Christopher Murphy
of Connecticut, sent a letter to the president of CTIA, the trade association representing the wireless communications industry, raising concerns that opposition to state bills like AB 988 could threaten implementation of the new federal crisis line.
“Every American should be doing everything they can to get those in crisis help when and where they need it, and not working on tying the hands of those who can provide it,” the letter said.
Families mourn deadly police encounters
Families know too well the impacts of a tragedy that scrolls, on repeat, across the news cycle. Someone is in a mental health crisis. A loved one dials 9-1-1 in search of help. Police arrive. Things escalate. The grieving are left to ponder an impossible question: What if hadn’t called?
Bella Collins started asking that question after her older brother, Angelo Quinto, died last year following an encounter with Antioch police. Quinto, a 30-year-old Navy veteran, had suffered from depression, anxiety and paranoia in recent months. On Dec. 23, 2020, Quinto had an episode of paranoia; his sister called 9-1-1, concerned he was becoming aggressive and threatening, according to a federal lawsuit his family filed in August against the city of Antioch, police chief and officers.
By the time police arrived, his family told CalMatters, Quinto had calmed down and was compliant. He begged officers not to kill him. Despite this, they said, police officers handcuffed him and knelt on his neck – an account Antioch police disputed in a news conference covered by various outlets this spring. Quinto died in the hospital three days after the incident.

“If had another number to call I would have called it,” Bella said. Police officers at the scene later told her she’d done the right thing by calling them, she said. “The right thing ,” she said. “would not have killed my brother.”
Taun Hall was left with the same question after Walnut Creek police shot and killed her 23-year-old son, Miles, on June 2, 2019. Miles, who had serious mental health issues, had used a long iron gardening tool to break his parents’ sliding glass door. He believed it was a staff gifted from God. His grandmother, mother and several neighbors dialed 9-1-1 in search of help. Officers found him in the neighborhood. He ran toward the police, according to witness accounts and officer body camera recordings; they shot him first with bean bags, then when he didn’t stop, with handguns.
If they had had a different number to call, Hall said, “Miles would be alive today. With everything I have in my whole body, I believe that. He wasn’t dangerous. He wasn’t a criminal. He was someone who had mental health challenges who needed help.”
In September 2020, the city of Walnut Creek announced a $4 million settlement in the case. According to the city’s website, since Hall’s death, the city and police department have undertaken “a comprehensive review” of policies and practices and expanded training in deescalation and crisis intervention, as well as working to offer more mobile crisis response options.
Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, the principal author of AB 988 – also called The Miles Hall Lifeline Act – said she was inspired to take up the cause after a meeting with Hall. “Here was this woman who had tried for years to get her son the care he needed,” Bauer-Kahan said. “She had done everything right and it ended in her worst possible nightmare.”
A handful of states, including Washington, Colorado and Nevada, have successfully passed legislation similar to AB 988, said David Lloyd, national senior policy advisor of The Kennedy Forum, an organization that advocates for mental health that is co-sponsoring the bill. But, facing strong opposition from the telecommunications industry, other states have failed.
Rep. Tina Orwall, who authored a similar bill for Washington State, said she received a lot of pushback from the telecommunications industry. She met with them weekly to discuss how to move the bill forward. The bill eventually passed with a reduced per-line fee, which will start at 24 cents in October and increase to 40 cents in 2023.
“We’re in a pandemic,” Orwall said. “There couldn’t be a more important time to implement this. People need it more than ever.”
Counties brace for surge in crisis calls
In California, cities, counties and call centers are proceeding with preparations for an influx of new callers.
The city of Los Angeles started a pilot program in February to divert 9-1-1 calls to Didi Hirsch’s Suicide Prevention Center. The county recently said it was hustling to find additional sources of funding, fearing the bill and budget request might not pass.
“We’re all scrambling to make that a reality,” said John Franklin Sierra of the county’s Alternative Crisis Response system.
The launch of 9-8-8 reflects a growing momentum around the issue of mental health crisis response at the federal, state and local levels.
The state budget already had included a one-time allocation of $205 million for mobile crisis response. The federal American Rescue Plan includes an 85% federal match for three years for Medicaid programs that provide mobile crisis intervention services.
Addie Kitchen, whose grandson, Steven Taylor, was killed in a San Leandro Walmart by police last year, has worked to rally support for more funding and increase awareness about the needs for alternatives to 9-1-1.
Taylor, 33, was homeless and living with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder when he was detained after trying to walk out of the store with a tent, Kitchen said. He was holding a bat when officers arrived at the store that day, she said. An Alameda County judge in June upheld a manslaughter charge against the officer who shot Taylor in the store and said he would face trial – but also said he doubted a jury would convict, according to the Bay Area News Group.
Kitchen said she believed law enforcement officers are not the right people to respond to someone in a mental health crisis: “If you let trained crisis people intervene, there’s a possibility that no one is going to get hurt,” she said.

Ben Christopher CalMatters
Gov.Gavin Newsom is keeping his job after months spent lambasting the California recall as a Republican power grab; feverishly fundraising, wooing likely supporters and wrangling fractious progressive activists; sweating the odd, unexpectedly close poll; fusing policymaking and politicking; and calling upon big-name D.C. Democrats to come stump out west.
And after all that, it wasn’t especially close. After initial returns showed the recall failing by a nearly two-toone margin, the Associated Press and TV networks quickly called the race for Newsom.
Now begins a new contest: To spin the results most favorably for the 2022 election — which starts right now.
For Newsom and his political team, the last six months of campaigning offer an electoral blueprint to seek four more years.
The governor’s victory ought to demonstrate to Democrats, both in California and elsewhere, the power of “showing what the alternative is,” said Newsom campaign spokesperson Nathan Click.
“So much of what we’ve tried to do — from branding it the ‘Republican recall’ to talking a lot about Larry Elder and all the other candidates’ opposition to vaccine mandates and mask mandates — we’re trying to show what’s behind door number 2,” he said. “We were telling the story of what would happen if we weren’t in charge and the other guys were — and I think that’s really powerful.”
The campaign was nothing if not consistent on that point. On Monday, President Joe Biden jetted to California to make the closing argument against the recall at a campaign rally in Long Beach. Though he praised the governor’s leadership during the pandemic, the president spent the bulk of his speech hammering Elder, a conservative talk show host and Newsom’s top Republican rival, whom Biden described as “the clone of Donald Trump.”
Biden’s visit — along with pit stops by Vice President Kamala Harris and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren — offer another obvious lesson, said Bill Wong, political director of the state Assembly Democrats. “Every campaign from here on out, at least for the immediate future, is going to be nationalized with regard to running against the Republican agenda,” he said.
No Democratic challenger?
Juan Rodriguez, manager of the anti-recall campaign, said the unusually high Democratic turnout in a special election, which allowed Newsom to stay in office, amounts to “a rejection of the conventional wisdom.”
Running on public health restrictions, elevating contentious national issues and talking about former President Trump — the campaign “can really be a case study that should be looked at closely for how to get people energized,” he said.
The fear of Elder, and Newsom’s relentless characterization of the election as a “Republican recall,” likely did help keep the vote “no” coalition together. Whatever reservations voters might have had with the governor, “the potential damage by a Trump-loving Republican in the governor’s office” rallied most Democrats behind Newsom, said Amar Shergill, chairperson of the California Democratic Party’s progressive caucus.
But the time for playing nice is now over, he said.
“I don’t think the governor or his adviser circle are so naive as to think that a big win and the defeat of the recall election is going to result in smooth sailing through the next election,” said Shergill. He said he and other progressive activists plan to begin lobbying the governor “to hold fast to his promise” to push forward a state-run universal health insurance program.
“You ignore the progressive movement at your own peril,” Shergill added.
But Rose Kapolczynski, a Democratic political strategist, said Newsom faces no serious risks as he prepares to run for re-election next year — certainly not from within his own party.
Imagine this, she said: “Progressive congressmember X decides to run against Gavin Newsom because he still hasn’t enacted single-payer health care. The first thing that everyone’s going to see is that progres-
sive congressmember X urged all of his supporters to vote no on the recall and save Gavin Newsom.” GOP renaissance or last gasp?
Kapolczynski said she doesn’t see much of a threat coming from Republicans, either.
In 2020, the state GOP won four congressional seats, in part by running a more ethnically diverse and ideologically expansive crop of candidates. “Larry Elder comes along and destroys all that work by reminding people how extreme some Republicans are,” she said.
The emergence of Elder as a leading candidate was an “absolute boon” for Newsom, said Garry South, also a Democratic political consultant. It transformed what could have been a faceless referendum on the governor’s record into a strictly partisan standoff between a generally popular Democratic governor and a specific Republican.
In other words, it turned it into exactly the kind of election Newsom will likely face next November. It also helped that Elder is a firebrand who “is so out of sync with Californians he might as well be living in outer space,” South added.
Harmeet Dhillon, a California member of the Republican National Committee, said she doubts a different candidate would have been any less polarizing, only because Democrats would have been equally vociferous in their criticisms.
If Kevin Faulconer, the former mayor of San Diego who positioned himself as a relative moderate in the race, “set the electorate on fire and had Larry Elder not gotten into the race, you would have still seen Kevin Faulconer painted as some kind of Hitler,” she said. Rodriguez with the No campaign stopped short of that comparison, but agreed that Elder wasn’t unique. “Whether it was Larry Elder, John Cox or Kevin Faulconer, they all represent a view of the world empowered by the national Republican Party,” he said. “It’s all an example of Trumpism.”
It remains unclear which Republican, if anyone, could mount a credible challenge against Newsom.
Elder has vowed to run again; Tuesday, he called himself a “political force.” “We may have lost the battle, but we are going to win the war,” he told supporters.
But he would face long odds head-to-head against Newsom in reliably Democratic California. Elder’s emergence, however, has humbled much of the GOP bench, including Faulconer, 2018 gubernatorial candidate John Cox and Assemblymember Kevin Kiley of Rocklin.
With more than 9.1 million votes counted, Elder had 47% of the vote among replacement candidates, with Democratic political novice Kevin Paffrath a distant second with 10%. GOP contenders Faulconer, Cox and Kiley had a combined total of just 16%.
Faulconer told supporters in San Diego on election night that he would spend time considering his next steps. But he has been raising money for a possible 2022 gubernatorial campaign all year and ended his speech with some foreshadowing: “Tonight was round 1. There’s more to come.”
Matt Rexroad, a political consultant who tends to work for moderate Republicans, said it’s not all doom and gloom for the state’s second largest party. A Republican isn’t likely to occupy the governor’s office anytime soon, but that was never very likely in California. Newsom “is going to sleepwalk into 2022; it’s going to be a yawner,” Rexroad conceded.
Newsom, who had a huge money advantage for the recall, is sitting on a $23 million nest egg for the 2022 campaign, according to the most recent state filing.
But a snoozer of a gubernatorial race at the top of the ticket coupled with a network of pro-recall activists still fuming across the state could result in the kind of GOP-heavy turnout that midterm victories in congressional and legislative races are made of, he said.
The Republican Party “has used this opportunity to rally the troops,” he said. “And this energy could be used to pick up some seats in the Legislature or in Congress.”
“What’s the best thing that happened to the Democratic Party in 2018?” asked Rexroad, referring to the “blue wave” midterms in which Democrats flipped 41 congressional seats, including eight in California. “Probably how much they hated Donald Trump.”
The recall’s lingering impact
As early as Monday, some recall candidates were tamping down expectations, reminding supporters that no matter the outcome, the fact that the recall campaign got as far as it did should count as its own success.
Kiley said the grassroots organizations that sprouted up across the state to boost the recall effort will remain an electoral force to reckon with in the coming months. “The idea that this is somehow a mandate, that Californians are endorsing (Newsom’s) failed leadership, is pretty far-fetched,” he said. He declined to say whether he plans to run for governor again next year.
Elder has taken a less holistic view of the recall results. Even before the polls closed, the candidate had begun to suggest, à la former President Trump in 2020, that the recall defeat, even in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly two-toone, could only be the result of fraud.
But in his election night speech, Elder made no mention of electoral shenanigans. He conceded defeat and urged supporters at his Costa Mesa campaign headquarters to be “gracious in defeat.”
Still, Elder’s earlier decision to take a page from the former president’s handbook is only the latest indication that conspiracy theorizing about election results has found a permanent home in the Republican Party — even in California.
“A party that misdiagnoses the reason behind its electoral defeat is very unlikely to fix itself.”
- David Becker, executive director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research
And while the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 showed the danger of questioning the democratic process, for California Republicans hoping to emerge from the recall invigorated, the politics might be lousy, too.
“Political parties in democracies are supposed to be self-correcting. Those that are punished at the polls are incentivized to come up with a better message or a more appealing set of ideas,” said David Becker, executive director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, which advocates for more expansive and secure election policies.
Attributing failure to fraud will get in the way of that necessary self-reflection. “A party that misdiagnoses the reason behind its electoral defeat is very unlikely to fix itself,” he said.

ELECCIÓN REVOCATORIA EN CALIFORNIA: LA CAMPAÑA 2022 COMIENZA DESDE AHORA
Ben Christopher CalMatters
Elgobernador Gavin Newsom está listo para mantener su trabajo después de meses de criticar la elección revocatoria como un intento republicano por agarrar el poder; una recaudación febril de fondos, cortejar a los partidarios probables y luchando contra activistas progresistas rebeldes; sudando un poco, encuesta inesperadamente cerradas; mezclando políticas y politiquería; y pidiendo a los demócratas de DC de renombre que vinieran hacia la costa oeste.
Y después de todo eso, no estuvo especialmente tan reñido. Después que los resultados iniciales mostraron que el ‘recall’ falló por un margen de casi el 70% al 30%, Associated Press y las cadenas de televisión dieron la victoria a Newsom.
Ahora comienza una nueva competencia: hacer girar los resultados de manera más favorable para las elecciones de 2022, que comienzan ahora mismo. Para el gobernador Gavin Newsom y su equipo político, los últimos seis meses de campaña ofrecen un plan electoral para buscar cuatro años más en el poder.
La aparente victoria del gobernador debería demostrar a los demócratas, tanto en California como en otros lugares, el poder de lo que significa “mostrar cuál es la alternativa”, dijo el portavoz de la campaña de Newsom, Nathan Click.
“Mucho de lo que hemos intentado hacer, desde calificarla de ‘elección revocatoria republicana’ hasta hablar mucho sobre Larry Elder y la oposición de todos los demás candidatos a los mandatos de vacunas y de uso de mascarillas, estamos tratando de mostrar lo que hay detrás de la puerta número 2”, dijo. “Estábamos contando la historia de lo que sucedería y los otros muchachos lo hicieron, y creo que eso es realmente poderoso”.
La campaña no fue más que coherente en ese punto. El lunes, el presidente Joe Biden viajó a California para hacer el argumento final contra el proceso de destitución en un mitin de campaña en Long Beach. Aunque elogió el liderazgo del gobernador durante la pandemia, el presidente dedicó la mayor parte de su discurso a criticar a Elder, el principal rival republicano de Newsom, a quien Biden describió como “el clon de Donald Trump”.
La visita de Biden, junto con pequeñas paradas de la vicepresidente Kamala Harris y la senadora de Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren, ofrecen otra lección obvia, dijo Bill Wong, director político de los demócratas de la Asamblea estatal. “Cada campaña de aquí en adelante, al menos en el futuro inmediato, va a ser nacionalizada con respecto a ir en contra de la agenda republicana”, dijo.
¿Ningún retador demócrata?
Juan Rodríguez, gerente de la campaña anti-destitución, dijo que la participación demócrata inusualmente alta en una elección especial, que permitió a Newsom permanecer en la oficina del gobernador, equivale a “un rechazo de la sabiduría convencional”.
Ejecutando restricciones de salud pública, elevando asuntos nacionales polémicos y hablando sobre el ex presidente Trump, la campaña “realmente puede ser un estudio de caso que debería ser analizado de cerca para saber cómo animar a la gente”, dijo.
El miedo a Elder, y la caracterización implacable de Newsom de la elección como una ‘elección revocatoria republicana’, probablemente ayudaron a mantener unida la coalición del voto “no”.
Independientemente de las reservas que los votantes pudieran haber tenido con el gobernador, “el daño potencial de un republicano amante de Trump en la oficina del gobernador” reunió a la mayoría de los demócratas detrás de Newsom, dijo Amar Shergill, presidente del caucus progresista del Partido Demócrata de California.
Pero el tiempo de jugar correctamente ya pasó, dijo. “No creo que el gobernador o su círculo de asesores sean tan ingenuos como para pensar que una gran victoria y la derrota de la elección revocatoria van a resultar en una navegación tranquila a través de las próximas elecciones”, dijo Shergill. Dijo que él y otros activistas progresistas planean comenzar a presionar al gobernador “para que se aferre a su promesa”
de impulsar un programa de seguro médico universal administrado por el estado.
“Usted ignora el movimiento progresivo bajo su propio riesgo”, agregó Shergill.
Pero Rose Kapolczynski, estratega política demócrata, dijo que Newsom no enfrenta riesgos serios mientras se prepara para postularse para la reelección el próximo año, ciertamente no dentro de su propio partido.
Imagínese esto: “El congresista progresista X decide presentarse en contra de Gavin Newsom porque todavía no ha promulgado la atención médica de pagador único. Lo primero que todos verán es que los miembros progresistas del congreso X instaron a todos sus seguidores a votar no a la revocatoria y salvar a Gavin Newsom”.
¿Renacimiento republicano o último suspiro?
Kapolczynski dijo que tampoco ve una gran amenaza proveniente de los republicanos.
En 2020, el Partido Republicano estatal ganó cuatro escaños en el Congreso, en parte al tener un grupo de candidatos de mayor diversidad étnica e ideológicamente expansiva. “Larry Elder llega y destruye todo ese trabajo recordando a la gente lo extremos que son algunos republicanos”, dijo.
El surgimiento de Elder como candidato principal fue una “bendición absoluta” para Newsom, dijo Garry South, también consultor político demócrata. Transformó lo que podría haber sido un referéndum sin rostro sobre el historial del gobernador en un enfrentamiento estrictamente partidista entre un gobernador demócrata generalmente popular y un republicano específico.
En otras palabras, lo convirtió exactamente en el tipo de elección que probablemente enfrentará Newsom el próximo noviembre. También ayudó que Elder sea un agitador que “no está tan sincronizado con los californianos que bien podría estar viviendo en el espacio exterior”, agregó South.
Harmeet Dhillon, miembro del Comité Nacional Republicano de California, dijo que duda que un candidato diferente hubiera sido menos polarizador, solo porque los demócratas habrían sido igualmente vociferantes en sus críticas.
nia demócrata confiable.
El éxito de Elder, sin embargo, ha humillado a gran parte del banco republicano, incluido Faulconer, candidato a gobernador de 2018. John Cox y el asambleísta Kevin Kiley de Rocklin.
En el recuento de votos temprano, Elder obtuvo el 42% de los votos entre los candidatos de reemplazo, en comparación con el 18% total de Faulconer, Cox y Kiley.
Aún así, Matt Rexroad, un consultor político que tiende a trabajar para republicanos moderados, dijo que no todo es pesimismo para el segundo partido más grande del estado. No es probable que un republicano ocupe la oficina del gobernador pronto, pero eso nunca fue muy probable en California. Newsom “va a caminar dormido en 2022, va a ser un bostezo”, admitió Rexroad.
Porque Newsom derrotó la destitución, le dará una ventaja en las elecciones para gobernador de 2022.
Si Kevin Faulconer, el ex alcalde de San Diego que se posicionó como un moderado relativo en la carrera, “prendió fuego al electorado y si Larry Elder no se hubiera metido en la carrera, todavía habría visto a Kevin Faulconer pintado como una especie de Hitler”, dijo.
Rodríguez, con la campaña del No, no llega a esa comparación, pero estuvo de acuerdo en que Elder no era el único. “Ya sea Larry Elder, John Cox o Kevin Faulconer, todos representan una visión del mundo empoderada por el Partido Republicano nacional”, dijo. “Es todo un ejemplo de trumpismo”.
No está claro qué republicano, si es que hay alguien, podría montar un desafío creíble contra Newsom. Elder juró correr de nuevo; hoy, se llamó a sí mismo una “fuerza política”. Pero enfrentaría grandes probabilidades cara a cara contra Newsom en una Califor-

Pero una adormecida carrera para gobernador en la parte superior de la lista, junto con una red de activistas a favor del retiro que todavía están furiosos en todo el estado, podría resultar en el tipo de participación republicana de la que están hechas las victorias de mitad de período en las carreras legislativas y del Congreso, dijo.
El Partido Republicano “ha aprovechado esta oportunidad para reunir a las tropas”, dijo. “Y esta energía podría usarse para ganar algunos escaños en la Legislatura o en el Congreso”.
“¿Qué es lo mejor que le pasó al Partido Demócrata en 2018?” preguntó Rexroad, refiriéndose a las elecciones intermedias de “ola azul” en las que los demócratas cambiaron 41 escaños en el Congreso, incluidos 8 en California. “Probablemente cuánto odiaban a Donald Trump”.
El impacto persistente del ‘recall’
Ya el lunes, algunos candidatos de la elección revocatoria estaban reduciendo las expectativas, recordando a los partidarios que, sin importar el resultado, el hecho de que la campaña del ‘recall’ llegara tan lejos debería contar como su propio éxito.
Kiley dijo que las organizaciones de base que surgieron en todo el estado para impulsar el esfuerzo de destitución seguirán siendo una fuerza electoral a tener en cuenta en los próximos meses. “La idea de que esto es de alguna manera un mandato, que los californianos están respaldando el liderazgo fallido (de Newsom), es bastante inverosímil”, dijo. Se negó a decir si planea postularse nuevamente para gobernador el próximo año.
“Esta energía podría usarse para ganar algunos escaños en la Legislatura o en el Congreso”. -Matt Rexroad, consultor político de los republicanos Elder ha adoptado una visión menos holística de los resultados del ‘recall’. Incluso antes de que cerraran las urnas, el candidato comenzó a sugerir, al estilo del expresidente Trump en 2020, que la derrota de la revocatoria, incluso en un estado donde los demócratas superan en número a los republicanos casi dos a uno, solo podría ser el resultado de un fraude.
La decisión de Elder de tomar una página del manual del ex presidente es solo la última indicación que la teoría de la conspiración sobre los resultados de las elecciones ha encontrado un hogar permanente en el Partido Republicano, incluso en California.
Y aunque el asalto al Capitolio de Estados Unidos el 6 de enero mostró el peligro de cuestionar el proceso democrático, para los republicanos de California que esperan salir fortalecidos de la revocatoria, la política también podría ser pésima.
Se supone que los partidos políticos en las democracias deben autocorregirse: los que son castigados en las urnas son incentivados para que presenten un mejor mensaje o un conjunto de ideas más atractivo, dijo David Becker, director ejecutivo del Centro de Innovación e Investigación Electoral, que aboga por políticas electorales más amplias y seguras.
Atribuir el fracaso al fraude se interpondrá en el camino de esa necesaria autorreflexión. “Un partido que diagnostica erróneamente la razón detrás de su derrota electoral es muy poco probable que se arregle”, dijo.

EARTHTALK Q&A: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS OF CURRENT DROUGHT
Dear EarthTalk: What are the environmental implications of the current drought across the American West and how does it compare with past dry spells? -- S. Diamond, Methuen, MA
Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association’s U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) database, found on Drought.gov, reports that as of August 31, 2021, 39 percent of the U.S. is in drought, with 30 states experiencing Moderate Drought or worse. The USDM uses a five-category system to classify drought severity, from Abnormally Dry to Exceptional Drought. The percent area of the western U.S. in extreme to exceptional drought peaked at 59.5 percent on July 20, 2021, while the percent in moderate to exceptional drought peaked at 90.3 percent on July 27, 2021. This value exceeded the previous peak in the 21-year USDM record that occurred in August and September of 2003.
These significant drought conditions have dropped several bodies of water in the Western United States to record-breaking lows. On July 23, 2021, the Great Salt Lake in Utah, one of the largest bodies of water in the U.S., reached its lowest water level since the U.S. Geological Survey began taking measurements in 1875. The previous low was set in 1963. Additionally, as of August 22, 2021, Nevada and Arizona’s Lake Mead reservoir had dropped to just 35 percent of its capacity, and the Lake Powell reservoir that spans across Utah and Arizona is now at just 31 percent of its capacity. This current lake elevation data comes from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which manages the Lake Mead and Lake Powell reservoirs, and other portions of the Colorado River watershed. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation recently decided that, given the historic drought, the Lake Mead reservoir will operate in what is called a Level One Shortage Condition for the first time ever in 2022. This will mean reduced water throughout 2022 to Arizona, Nevada and Mexico.
As water levels drop and become hotter during drought, cyanobacteria in algae blooms thrive. These toxic algae blooms, which can appear blue-green in color, or sometimes a reddishbrown color, can harm the nervous system and liver, and can be fatal if ingested. The 2015 study Drought-Induced Water-Level Reduction Favors Cyanobacteria Blooms in Tropical Shallow Lakes projected a warmer and drier climate in the future will reduce water quantity and quality, increasing the risks of cyanobacteria blooms. The Idaho Conservation League reported in August 2021 that heat waves, drought, and excessive pollution are contributing to what could be the worst year ever for toxic algae in Idaho.
This summer’s drought conditions are also contributing to poorer air quality and a spike in aggravating adverse allergy and respiratory symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the dusty, dry conditions that accompany drought increase the number of particulates suspended in the air, irritating bronchial passages and lungs. Increased air pollution may potentially play a part in surging mortality rates from COVID-19, according to recent studies out of Harvard. A separate study out of Stanford University in 2014 warned of the rise of amplified air pollutant accumulations due to drought and increased difficulty in meeting air quality goals.

EARTHTALK Q&A: IMPLICACIONES MEDIOAMBIENTALES DE LA SEQUÍA ACTUAL
Querido EarthTalk: ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones ambientales de la sequía actual en el oeste de Estados Unidos y cómo se compara con los periodos secos pasados? -- S. Diamond, Methuen, MA

Labase de datos del Monitor de Sequía de EE. UU. (USDM) de la Asociación Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica, que se encuentra en Drought.gov, dice que a partir del 31 de agosto del 2021, el 39 por ciento de EE. UU. Está en sequía, con 30 estados experimentando sequía moderada o peor. El USDM utiliza un sistema de cinco categorías para clasificar la gravedad de la sequía, desde “Anormalmente Seca” hasta “Sequía Excepcional”. El porcentaje de área del oeste de EE. UU. en sequía extrema a excepcional al-
canzó un máximo de 59.5 por ciento el 20 de julio del 2021, mientras que el porcentaje de sequía moderada a excepcional alcanzó un máximo de 90.3 por ciento el 27 de julio del 2021. Este valor superó el pico anterior en el récord del USDM de 21 años que ocurrió en agosto y septiembre del 2003.
Estas importantes condiciones de sequía han reducido varios cuerpos de agua en el oeste de los Estados Unidos a mínimos históricos. El 23 de julio del 2021, el Gran Lago Salado de Utah, uno de los cuerpos de agua más grandes de EE. UU., alcanzó su nivel de agua más bajo desde que el Servicio Geológico de EE. UU. Comenzó a tomar medidas en 1875. El mínimo anterior se estableció en el 1963. Además, el 22 de agosto del 2021, el embalse del lago Mead de Nevada y Arizona se había reducido al 35 por ciento de su capacidad, y el embalse del lago Powell que se extiende por Utah y Arizona ahora solo está al 31 por ciento de su capacidad. Estos datos actuales de la elevación del lago provienen de la Oficina de Recuperación de EE. UU., que administra los embalses del lago Mead y del lago Powell, y otras partes de la cuenca del río Colorado. La Oficina de Reclamación de EE. UU. Decidió recientemente que, dada la sequía histórica, el embalse del lago Mead operará en lo que se denomina una Condición de Escasez de Nivel Uno por primera vez en el 2022. Esto significará una disminución del agua durante el 2022 en Arizona, Nevada y México.
A medida que los niveles de agua bajan y se vuelven más calientes durante la sequía, las cianobacterias en las proliferaciones de algas prosperan. Estas proliferaciones de algas tóxicas, que pueden aparecer de color azul verdoso, o a veces de un color marrón rojizo, pueden dañar el sistema nervioso y el hígado y pueden ser fatales si se ingieren. El estudio de 2015 La Reducción del Nivel del Agua Inducida por la Sequía Favorece la Proliferación de Cianobacterias en Lagos Tropicales poco Profundos proyectó que un clima más cálido y seco en el futuro reducirá la cantidad y calidad del agua, aumentando los riesgos de proliferación de cianobacterias. La Liga de Conservación de Idaho reportó en agosto del 2021 que las olas de calor, la sequía y la contaminación excesiva están contribuyendo a lo que podría ser el peor año para las algas tóxicas en Idaho.
Las condiciones de sequía de este verano también están contribuyendo a una peor calidad del aire y un aumento en el agravamiento de los síntomas alérgicos adversos y respiratorios. Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, las condiciones polvorientas y secas que van acompañadas de la sequía incrementan el número de partículas suspendidas en el aire, irritando los bronquios y los pulmones. El aumento de la contaminación del aire podría potencialmente jugar un papel en el aumento de las tasas de mortalidad por COVID-19, según estudios recientes de Harvard. Un estudio separado de la Universidad de Stanford del 2014 advirtió sobre el aumento de las acumulaciones amplificadas de contaminantes del aire debido a la sequía y una mayor dificultad para cumplir con los objetivos de la calidad del aire.

FRESNO, Calif. -- AmeriCorps has teamed up with the nonprofit Equality California to offer a groundbreaking mentorship program for LGBTQ+ teens in the state. The Equality California Mentorship Corps has deployed 20 trained mentors to reach out to students at ten middle- and high schools in Fresno.
Brittney Yang, who serves as a mentor, said the program works like Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
"The end goal of this program is to let them really dive into their own identities, while also preparing them to become leaders by the end of the year," Yang explained.
The mentors and students work through a curriculum designed to help kids develop selfconfidence, manage stress, identify role models and plan for their future by setting personal, academic and career goals. Students can be referred by teachers or counselors, or can sign up on their own.
Chris Negri, program manager for Equality California, said a 2019 study by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and the University of Connecticut found half of all LGBTQ+ identifying teens in California reported being teased or bullied, and a quarter have been threatened with physical violence at least

once because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
"There's a ton of evidence that kids who are LGBT face higher rates of bullying and harassment," Negri observed. "And so that has repercussions throughout their lives in higher rates of depression, suicide, higher dropout rates."
The program began in 2020, with 52 kids receiving mentoring sessions online. With school returning to in-person instruction, organizers hope to reach out to more students. Mentors get credit for one year of public ser-

El objetivo final de este programa es permitirles sumergirse en sus propias identidades y además, prepararlos para que se conviertan en líderes antes del fin de año”, explicó Yang. Los mentores y los estudiantes trabajan a través de un plan de estudios diseñado para ayudar a los niños a desarrollar la confianza en sí mismos, manejar el estrés, identificar modelos a seguir y planear su futuro estableciendo metas personales, académicas y profesionales. Los estudiantes pueden ser referidos por maestros o consejeros, o pueden inscribirse por su cuenta.
Chris Negri, gerente de programa de Equality California, dijo que un estudio de 2019 realizado por la Human Rights Campaign Foundation y la Universidad de Connecticut reveló que la mitad de los adolescentes que se identifican como LGBTQ + en California reportaron haber sido objeto de burlas o acoso y una cuarta parte ha sido amenazada con violencia física por lo menos una vez debido a su orientación sexual o identidad de género.
“Hay mucha evidencia de que los niños que son LGBT enfrentan tasas más altas de intimidación y acoso”, observó Negri. “Y entonces, eso tiene repercusiones durante toda su vida en mayores tasas de depresión, suicidio, mayores tasas de abandono".
El programa comenzó en el 2020, con 52 niños recibiendo sesiones de consultoría en línea. Con las escuelas regresando a las clases presenciales, los organizadores esperan llegar a más estudiantes. Los mentores obtienen crédito por un

BBB WARNS OF MORE EMPLOYMENT SCAMS SINCE PANDEMIC: HERE’S ADVICE FOR JOB SEEKERS
Better Business Bureau
LOSANGELES & SAN JOSE – Employment scams are on the rise in the turbulent job market created by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new study from the Better Business Bureau® (BBB®). BBB warns job seekers to verify employment offers to avoid things like illegal jobs, identity theft and fake checks. The in-depth study details the many forms employment fraud takes and the scams that often result.
BBB says last year 14 million people lost a total of $2 billion due to job scams, which is the riskiest of all scams. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reports losses from employment scams rose 27% between 2018 and 2020.
The BBB’s report found the most common victims are ages 25-34, with women filing two-thirds of complaints. The median financial loss reported by these victims was $1,000; about one-third said they were never paid for the work they performed. Identity theft is common in job scams, as scammers often steal applicants’ personal information to open bank accounts to further their fraud. BBB found 34% of victims provided their driver’s license number and 25% provided their Social Security number.
Fake checks are another feature of job scams and this problem continues to grow. Over one-third of complaints to BBB involved a fake check, and these complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) increased by two-thirds between 2015 and 2020. Common fraudulent job offers involving fake checks include mystery shopping or secret shopper jobs, car wrap jobs, nanny or caregiver jobs, and small business jobs such as photography or painting houses.
“Here’s a typical scenario: You get recruited through a job search website to work as a remote assistant for a large company,” says Steve McFarland, President & CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles & Silicon Valley. “The ‘employer’ deposits a check into your bank account so you can buy equipment and supplies, then you’re asked to buy $2,400 in gift cards and text the employer the numbers on the back. The employer disappears into thin air but your bank tells you that the check they deposited to your account is fraudulent. You’ve not only lost the money you spent on the gift cards but have another $2,400 stolen from your bank account.”
Victims also find themselves participating in reshipping scams, which represent 65% of the scam job offers reported to BBB Scam Tracker. Scammers “hire” victims from job boards, Facebook or Craigslist and offer them as much as $2,500 to receive and forward packages. The fraudsters often use stolen credit card numbers to order laptops, cellphones and high-end goods and have them sent to reshipping victims, instructing them to repackage the goods and providing shopping labels
to send the packages to a new address, often in Russia. The accomplices who were hired for this fraudulent type of work are never paid, and their identities may be used to open bank accounts.
Tips to avoid job scams:
•Research the job offer. Call or go directly to the actual company's website for contact information to verify the job posting.
•Check out businesses at BBB.
•Search the internet for the name of the employer and the word “scam” to see if there are reports involving job scams.
•Examine the email address of those offering jobs to see if it matches the protocols used by an actual company. Be alert to Gmail business email addresses.
•Use a separate email address when posting a resume on job boards or applying for jobs. This can help detect “offers” from scam employers you did not contact.
•If you’re paying for the promise of a job, it’s most likely a scam.
•Be wary of mystery shopping or secret shopper positions.
•Work-from-home jobs that involve receiving and reshipping packages are likely scams.
•Beware of jobs that involve receiving and forwarding money.
•Don’t fall for a fake check scam. BBB is not aware of any legitimate job offers that send checks to applicants and ask them to send money to a third party.
•Be careful about putting personal information such as your address, birthdate and financial information in your resume or to unverified recruiters and online applications.
•Be wary of vague job descriptions.
•Even if you do the work, it still may be a scam.
•Do not respond to calls, text messages or emails from unknown numbers or suspicious addresses.
•Do not click any links in a text message from a number you do not recognize. If a friend sends you a text with a suspicious link that seems out of character, call them to make sure they weren’t hacked.
Consumers should report job scams to:
•BBB ScamTracker – BBB.org/scamtracker
•Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – reportfraud.ftc. gov or call 877-FTC-Help.
•Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) – ic3.gov/ complaint.

BUSCA DE UN TRABAJO? ¡TEN CUIDADO! LAS ESTAFAS DE EMPLEO AUMENTARON DURANTE LA PANDEMIA, SEGÚN UN ESTUDIO DE BBB
Better Business Bureau
LOSANGELES Y SAN JOSE – Las estafas de empleo están creciendo en este mercado de empleo turbulento creado por la pandemia de COVID-19, según un nuevo estudio de Better Business Bureau® (BBB). BBB advierte a los solicitantes de empleo que verifiquen las ofertas de empleo para evitar trabajos ilegales, robo de identidad y cheques falsos a los que millones están expuestos anualmente.
Las estafas de empleo han sido un problema durante años. En 2020, BBB estimó 14 millones de víctimas con $2 mil millones en pérdidas directas relacionadas con estafas de trabajo. El año pasado, el 2020 BBB Informe de Estafas de Empleo del Instituto de BBB Para la Confianza en el Mercado encontró que las estafas de empleo eran los más riesgosas de todas las estafas que rastrearon en 2018 y 2019. Sin embargo, el estudio de BBB encontró que el problema empeoro en 2020. Perdidas reportadas al FBI Centro de Denuncias de Delitos en Internet (IC3) sobre estafas de empleo aumentaron un 27% entre 2018 y 2020, mientras que las quejas al Canadiense Centro Antifraude (CAFC) casi se duplicaron en 2020.
El reporte de 2020 del Instituto de BBB sobre estafas de trabajo encontró que este fraude más comúnmente victimiza a personas entre 25 y 34 años, y las mujeres presentan el 67% de las quejas sobre este fraude. La pérdida financiera mediana reportada por estas víctimas fue de $1,000; además, frecuentemente informaron la pérdida de su tiempo, ya que al 32% nunca se les pagó por el trabajo que hicieron para un “empleador” que resultó ser fraudulento. El robo de identidad es un resultado común de las estafas de trabajo, ya que los estafadores muchas veces roban la información personal de los solicitantes de empleo para abrir cuentas bancarias y promover su fraude. BBB encontró que el 34% de las víctimas proporcionaron su número de licencia de conducir y el 25% proporcionó su número de Seguro Social o de Seguro Social de seguranza canadiense. Los cheques falsos también acompañan con frecuencia a las estafas de empleo, y continúan creciendo. Este nuevo estudio de BBB encontró que el 36% de las quejas de estafas de empleo a BBB involucraron un cheque falso, y las quejas de cheques falsos sometidos a la Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC) subieron en un 65% entre 2015 y 2020. En los dos años desde que BBB publicó un estudio de investigación sobre el fraude con cheques falsos, las pérdidas asumidas por los propios bancos debido a los cheques falsos subieron un 40% hasta alcanzar los $1.3 mil millones de dólares. Las más comunes ofertas de empleo fraudulentas involucran cheques falsos incluyendo compras misteriosas o trabajos de comprador secreto, trabajos de envoltura de autos, trabajos de niñera o cuidadora, y trabajos en pequeñas empresas como fotografía o pintura de casas.
Una mujer de St. Louis que perdió su trabajo durante la pandemia fue enganchada a través de un sitio web de búsqueda de empleo para un trabajo como asistente remota para una gran empresa. El “empleador” depositó un cheque por $2,400 en su cuenta bancaria para comprar equipo de un proveedor tercero, luego le pidió que comprara $2,400 en tarjetas de regalo de Home Depot y les enviara un mensaje de texto con los números detrás de las tarjetas. No supo nada más del "empleador", pero su banco le informó que el cheque depositado en su cuenta era fraudulento. No solo perdió los fondos que gastó en las tarjetas de regalo, sino que le robaron otros $2,400 de su cuenta bancaria.
Las víctimas de estafas de empleo frecuentemente se convierten en cómplices involuntarios de otros fraudes, utilizados como mulas de dinero, para enviar cheques falsos o participar en estafas de reenvío, que representan el 65% de las ofertas de trabajo de estafa reportadas al BBB Rastreador de Estafas. Los estafadores "contratan" víctimas de los tableros de empleo, Facebook o Craigslist, ofreciéndoles pagarles hasta $2,500 para recibir y luego enviar paquetes. Estos estafadores frecuentemente usan números de tarjetas de crédito robados para pedir computadoras portátiles, teléfonos celulares y productos de lujo y enviarlos a las víctimas de reenvío, indicándoles que vuelvan a empaquetar los productos y producir etiquetas de compra para enviar los
paquetes a una nueva dirección, muchas veces a Rusia. Los cómplices que fueron contratados para este tipo de empleo fraudulento nunca se les paga y sus identidades pueden ser usados para abrir cuentas bancarias.
La FTC ha tomado medidas contra los estafadores de trabajo, incluyendo una empresa de colocación de empleo falsa a la que la agencia demandó en 2019. Las estafas asociadas, como las esquemas de reenvío y las esquemas de mulas de dinero, han sido un foco de atención para la aplicación de la ley estatal y federal; En diciembre de 2020, el Departamento de Justicia anunció los resultados de un esfuerzo mundial para encargarse con las mulas de dinero, lo que resultó en acciones tomadas contra 2,300 personas.
Consejos para evitar estafas de empleo:
•Investigue la oferta de trabajo. Llame o vaya directamente al sitio web real de la empresa para obtener información de contacto para verificar el puesto de trabajo.
•Consulte las empresas que ofrecen trabajos en BBB.org.
•Haga una búsqueda en Internet con el nombre del empleador y la palabra “estafa” para ver si hay informes que incluyen estafas de trabajo.
•Examine la dirección de correo electrónico de quienes ofrecen trabajos para ver si coincide con las maneras utilizadas por una empresa real. Esté alerta a las direcciones de correo electrónico usando Gmail para la empresa.
•Considere crear una dirección de correo electrónico separada cuando publique una aplicación en tableros de trabajo o aplique a trabajos. Esto puede ayudar a detectar "ofertas" de empleadores fraudulentos con los que no se comunicó.
•Considere la posibilidad de abrir una segunda cuenta bancaria simplemente para manejar el pago de trabajos en los que nunca ha conocido al empleador en persona.
•Si está pagando por la promesa de un trabajo, lo más probable es que sea una estafa.
•Tenga mucho cuidado con las posiciones de compras misteriosas o de compradores secretos.
•Los trabajos de trabajar desde casa que implican recibir y reenviar paquetes son probablemente una estafa.
•Tenga cuidado con los trabajos que implican recibir y enviar dinero.
•No se deje engañar por una estafa de cheques falsos. BBB no tiene conocimiento de ninguna oferta de trabajo legítima que envíe cheques a los solicitantes y les pida que envíen dinero a un tercero.
•Tenga cuidado al mandar información personal como su dirección completa, fecha de nacimiento e información financiera en su aplicación o a reclutadores de trabajo que no están verificados y aplicaciones en línea.
•Tenga cuidado con las descripciones vagas de trabajo.
•Aunque haga el trabajo, aún puede ser una estafa.
•No responda a llamadas, mensajes de texto o correos electrónicos de números desconocidos o direcciones sospechosas.
•No haga clic en ningún enlace en un mensaje de texto de un número que no reconoce. Si un amigo te envía un mensaje de texto con un enlace sospechoso que parece fuera de lugar, llámalo para asegurarte de que no haya sido pirateado.
Es importante que las víctimas de estafas de empleo las reporten a:
•Better Business Bureau: BBB.org o BBB.org/scamtracker.
•Federal Trade Commission (FTC): reportfraud.ftc. gov o llame al 877-FTC-Help.
•Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): ic3.gov/complaint.
