  • The latest for Financial Time for a story on how private groups and local businesses are doing what they can to mitigate fire risk in Napa Valley<br />
<br />
“In California so far in 2022, more than 180,000 acres have burnt in more than 5,000 fires, according to statistics published by Cal Fire, the state’s fire fighting agency. That’s less activity so far than at the same point in 2021 and 2020, but drought conditions and hot weather suggest a highly active remainder to the season, experts have said. California, a state with 33 million acres of forest that has been in drought for much of this century, the past two years have seen fires reach unprecedented levels, according to Cal Fire. The state government has announced plans to mitigate the risk with fuel reduction projects, working with the US Forestry Service. The target, as set out by Governor Gavin Newsom, is to treat up to 1 million acres of forest every year by 2025. Yet even if it can meet that goal, it will represent just a fraction of the state’s forested areas. There’s now an increasing realization among local businesses and private organizations like Napa Firewise that the private sector must step up — from the utility companies burying cables underground, to the vineyards funding private fire fighters, to the insurers and homebuilders being encouraged to work together to make more resilient communities.” (Dave Lee)<br />

  • When the Camp Fire raced through Paradise, California, in 2018, the town’s residents were faced with a decision: They could stay in their homes, which might burn to the ground; they could sit in traffic on one of the four clogged evacuation routes in the fire’s path; or they could retreat somewhere that might be protected from the encroaching flames. Around 75 people rushed to the west side of town, where they sought refuge in Bille Park, 56 acres of redwood groves, hiking trails and a playground. They spent hours in the city’s green space, huddled under a large metal picnic pavilion, sheltering from flying embers, but they survived. <br />
 <br />
“If they’d stayed at home, they would’ve likely perished,” said Dan Efseaff, the Paradise Recreation and Park District manager. Sparked by electrical transmission lines, the Camp Fire was the deadliest, most destructive fire in California history. The blaze killed at least 85 people and destroyed 18,000 structures. And it showed how the usual suggestions for home hardening, such as clearing vegetation or removing propane tanks near homes, are not always enough on their own — especially since not everyone can afford to do them. Efseaff and other Paradise government leaders realized that when a fire is that dangerous, individual actions aren’t enough to protect homes and people from future fires. Efseaff is now working on a project that he hopes can protect entire neighborhoods, not just individual properties: a combination firebreak and trail system that would encircle Paradise. <br />

I was having a crowd of people in here, we would have poetry readings, people would come in and display their art. The pandemic shut everything down. One of my biggest dreams is that people will be more willing to come back out again. I am working toward that day I can re-open. I have stuff that's new that I can show you. I have enough time to come up with something different, to come up with something creative. And I got enough time to even do things that don't work because I can go back and fix them. My inspiration is just looking at the people, people are desperate for something to do. I'm desperate for people to come out. That's why I have to keep on working.

<br />
I vote because I feel it's important to play a role in deciding who leads and represents our community and country as a whole, from the president all the way to who represents my district.<br />
<br />
Q: As Filipino American do you feel that your voice is represented in this country?<br />
A: As an Asian American, yes, to a degree, but not as a Filipino American. We are a fraction of a very large and very vague ethnic category. As a result, the volume of our voice can easily be lost among the voices of so many other Asian groups in the same category.<br />
<br />
The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected my life in nearly every way. From my eldest daughter switching to distance learning and me transitioning to working from home to eventually being let go while having limited social interactions, it's really changed everything — some aspects more drastically than others.<br />
<br />
After this election, I'd like to see more concrete goals and accountability. We all want to change for the better, but it can be difficult to envision the change without actual plans. I want to see more focus by our leaders, representatives, and fellow community members, as well as accountability when things work out right or when they go awry.<br />
<br />
Remember that only one item on the ballot has to do with who becomes the next president. A vast majority of the ballot has nothing to do with who gets to sit in the Oval Office. Propositions, measures, council members, school board members, and a variety of other important pressing, and local issues are decided during the same voting period. Don't forget about these because the results can have a very real, very immediate effect on your well-being and the well-being of those in your community.

<br />
I vote because I’ve learned over the years that it’s important to care about what is going on in the world around you and one of the most effective ways to promote change is to vote.<br />
<br />
I do not feel that Asian American voices are represented in this country.  <br />
<br />
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, my workload has decreased significantly.  When businesses struggle, marketing is usually the first thing to go so I found myself losing a lot of work.  Everything has shifted for us, my kids do school from home and my husband is working from home.  We don’t get out much and it’s been really hard on me as I’m a very social person.<br />
<br />
After this election, I’d love to see the return of compassion and empathy towards people and our planet.  I want to see progress being made towards a better tomorrow for our children and their children.  <br />
<br />
I want people to know that while it’s not as “glamorous” voting in local elections is extremely important.  We need to make sure that the cities and states we live in are representing our views and addressing our needs.  Learn about your local elections and vote!

  • The lab's counter at the public health clinic in Wamena. There are only 3 lab technicians working in the lab who are overwhelmed with the responsibility to test for various illnesses including sexual transmitted diseases, Tuberculosis, HIV, etc.<br />
In Papua, all indigenous Papuans have access to health insurance, called Jamkesmas or Jaminan Kesehatan Masyarakat Miskin, provided at no cost by the provincial government. However, inadequate facilities, limited availability of medical equipment and medicines, and inexperienced health staff have made it difficult for indigenous Papuans to get tested for HIV/AIDS and receive quality assistance, counseling, and long-term care.  Many health staff in Papua still lacks medical training to run and manage VCT clinics.  In other places, even when health personnel have sufficient training, their clinics are often overcrowded and inadequate, lacking proper equipment such as testing reagents, centrifuge, HIV rapid tests, CD4 machines, and medicines to treat opportunistic infection and antiretroviral therapies.

Having spent 18 years of my own life incarcerated, I founded Three Sisters Gardens in 2018 to inspire and empower the youth in our community. I fell back on my Hunkpapa Lakota native heritage and I thought what better way to get these youth to see themselves as leaders and important by teaching them how to grow organic vegetables to give back to the community. We give up to 40-60% of our vegetables to elders, women, and children. During the pandemic, I sent all of our youth home and they weren't happy with it. But we had to make sure that we were taking care of them and doing the right thing. Working with a skeleton crew, we grew 55% less than we could have.

I started working in Los Angeles at King Taco. I met my husband there, I was the cashier and he was the cook. We saved money because it was my dream to get my own place. All the tables were always packed during lunchtime. But last year was very bad. I was thinking of closing. Before I had eight workers and now I just have three. I had to lay off my workers, most of them are single mothers with children and they are dependent on the job. I was really sad and crying. I can't imagine how they feel. My son is attending Cal Poly University, he is studying to be an aerospace engineer. I'm very happy and proud. I need to pay for his school, and my rent and utilities are expensive. It’s very stressful and sometimes I don't know if I can make it.

It’s very stressful and sometimes I don't know if I can make it.

  • Sandra Tinoco, owner of Taqueria Linda. Richards Blvd., Sacramento.<br />
<br />
I started working in Los Angeles at King Taco. I met my husband there, I was the cashier and he was the cook. We saved money because it was my dream to get my own place. All the tables were always packed during lunchtime. But last year was very bad. I was thinking of closing. Before I had eight workers and now I just have three.

  • Zion Tadesse, owner of Queen Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant. Broadway, Sacramento<br />
<br />
I realized what I love to do is working in a restaurant, helping people, and serving people. I have pride in my food and before the pandemic my restaurant was thriving. The community comes here for the food and for the connection. Here I am now still surviving COVID for nearly a year. How do I survive? How do I navigate? Especially when you are a black-owned restaurant, we didn't know what to do. There's no good support foundation in our community to stand on. I am a part of a task force for the small Black Business Association to help people like me get access and information on how to apply for PPP and SBA loans and how to get financial literacy. We must unite together so we can rise up together. That's my fight. So not only I'm fighting for just me, my restaurant, I'm fighting for other small businesses.

  • Nubia Sanchez, owner of Capitol City Squeeze. 14th Street, Sacramento<br />
<br />
My business is located in downtown Sacramento in between State offices. I lost 75% of my business traffic due to the ‘Stay at Home’ order. Since state workers are now working from home, I have lost most of my customer base. I am currently not able to pay myself and running my business on borrowed money. My ultimate goal during these unpredictable times is to keep my employees on payroll and my business doors open. The easiest way would be to just close my doors and not open, but I just can't, I can't find it in myself to do that.

  • My name is Michelle. I am 35 years old. I am an IDX Analyst for a medical foundation and I am Filipino.<br />
<br />
I voted in the last Presidential Election and have been very much motivated to vote in this year’s Presidential Election as well.<br />
<br />
My daughter’s Ninang (godmother) once told her in a workshop she facilitated that it is important to take up space, finding the strength to believe that your voice is valid, and to use your voice.<br />
<br />
I vote because my voice matters. I vote because I want my daughter to know that her voice matters. I vote to use my voice to make changes that are needed for our future generations.<br />
<br />
As an Asian American, I feel that our voice is not represented enough in this country and that we need to be involved in expanding our representation.<br />
<br />
The COVID pandemic has impacted my life in many ways. It has been a lot of adjusting to change...from working at home, online schooling, and social distancing. It has also forced me to slow down and became a time of reflection. This helped me to be more present and aware of ongoing issues that have been surfacing during this time and a reminder of our responsibility to use our voice to make changes.<br />
<br />
With regard to what has been happening in this country, I want to see changes and progress in equality. <br />
<br />
I want people to remember to take up space and use your voice because every voice counts.

  • Janel (32). Student Outreach Analyst, Filipino. Zaylen (9).<br />
<br />
I’m voting because I want to utilize my right as an American citizen and I want to see America be a better place where we can all live. It’s important for my voice (vote) to be heard and represented as a female, Christian, Filipino-American. It’s important for me to have a say regarding laws that will not only impact me as a female minority and a single mother but also impacts my son who society will see as a Black Man, although he is Filipino as well. I make it point to set an example for my son by emphasizing the importance of voting and including him in the process. I’ve brought him with me to the voting polling places since he could walk. In our home, we get excited about voting. I make it a fun event for him and we celebrate the ability to vote. We’re even getting a cookie after this to celebrate! <br />
<br />
Q: As an Asian American do you feel that your voice is represented in your community?<br />
A: No, and I believe one of the reasons is because not more Asians/Filipinos are exercising their right to vote and not in political positions of influence.  <br />
<br />
Initially, the pandemic greatly affected my family. I'm thankful for the Shelter in Place because it has kept us safe health-wise. However, As a single mother, working from home and helping my son with distance education was very challenging and so stressful, to say the least. I was faced to deal with emotional/behavioral challenges with my son and attempting to teach my son as well by myself. It got to the point I needed outside help. <br />
<br />
I’d like to see more equality and no racism. I’d like to see more peace and unity in our country. I’d like to see less excessive force used by police and more training on diversity. I’d like to see reform in our prison system. <br />
<br />
Make a difference and spread love, where you can, with where you’re at, as exactly who you are. Who you are matters to this world! And GO VOTE!
