Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"cveltman":{"type":"authors","id":"8608","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8608","found":true},"name":"Chloe Veltman","firstName":"Chloe","lastName":"Veltman","slug":"cveltman","email":"cveltman@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Arts and Culture Reporter","bio":"Chloe Veltman is a former arts and culture reporter for KQED.

Embracing the novelty of it all, she dubbed herself \"Tampon Queen\" and propped a huge pad and tampon in her office window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It allowed a conversation to happen that was more than a tax — it’s about menstrual equity and our biology,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her bill cleared the Legislature in 2016, but Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11086948/gov-brown-vetoes-attempt-to-waive-tampon-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vetoed it\u003c/a>, saying it should have been addressed within the state budget and that \"tax breaks are the same thing as new spending.\" That prompted the following tweet retort from Garcia:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AsmGarcia/status/775764733798383616\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A subsequent effort in 2018 died in committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with a new governor in place, Garcia is trying again.

For example, according to Human Rights Watch, women have always needed permission from a male guardian, usually a father or husband, to leave the country. In the past, paper forms were required prior to travel. The Absher app makes this process a lot more convenient for Saudi men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really designed with the men in mind,\" says Rothna Begum, a senior researcher on women's rights at Human Rights Watch. \"Of course, it's incredibly demeaning, insulting and humiliating for the women, and downright abusive in many cases, because you're allowing men absolute control over women's movements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, Sen.

Apple prescreens apps, and Begum says Google relies on its users to alert it about violations. But, she says, each company needs to boost scrutiny of government-supported apps, especially when they are created by repressive regimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They should consider the human rights implications ... especially when it's offered by a government,\" Begun says. \"When they're evaluating whether an app should be allowed ... providers really should consider the broader context or the purpose of the app, how it's being used in practice and whether it's facilitating abuse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Absher has also been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-women-flee.html\">helpful to a some women trying to escape \u003c/a>the repressive Saudi regime. Begum says some women have managed to secretly change the settings in the app on their male guardian's phone so that it allows them to travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she says, Google and Apple need to push back against the Saudi government and either disable the app entirely or disable the features that enable men to track women in their families. \"By not saying anything, they've allowed the government to facilitate the abuse,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Google and Apple, Wyden wrote: \"It is hardly news that the Saudi monarchy seeks to restrict and repress Saudi women, but American companies should not enable or facilitate the Saudi government's patriarchy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Back then, they talked about justice, fair play and economic soundness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Salaries speak louder than words, however,\" Reinhardt wrote. \"Although the Act has prohibited sex-based wage discrimination for more than fifty years, the financial exploitation of working women embodied by the gender pay gap continues to be an embarrassing reality of our economy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case is now potentially heading to the Supreme Court — and the appeals ruling includes a preview of some of the ideas that might be argued if it reaches that stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several judges wrote concurring opinions to say that while they agreed with the result of the court's ruling, they disagreed with parts of its rationale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge M. Margaret McKeown, joined by Judge Mary H. Murguia, wrote, \"the majority goes too far in holding that any consideration of prior pay is 'impermissible' under the Equal Pay Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rizo's case was an easy one to decide, McKeown says. But she adds that the majority opinion \"is unsupported by the statute, is unrealistic, and may work to women's disadvantage\" — citing the desire some female employees may have to bring up their own pay history to gain leverage in negotiations over pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her concurring opinion, Judge Consuelo M. Callahan, joined by Judge Richard C. Tallman, wrote that Reinhardt's majority opinion \"fails to follow Supreme Court precedent, unnecessarily ignores the realities of business and, in doing so, may hinder rather than promote equal pay for equal work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to saying that barring any consideration of salary history would remove an economic incentive from the equation of offering and accepting a new job, Callahan writes: \"In the private sector, basing initial salary upon previous salary, plus other factors such as experience and education, encourages hard work and rewards applicants who have stellar credentials.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callahan also said, \"The assumption that prior salary inherently reflects gender bias is not true,\" noting other potential explanations such as unequal costs of living in different parts of the country and fluctuations in the supply and demand for workers in certain positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least two states — California and Massachusetts — have approved legislation that bars employers from considering job applicants' prior salary. Similar bills have been introduced in more than 20 other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.
