Many of us take food for granted. But according to the USDA, more than 38 million people are food insecure. In this episode, we speak to Regi Young, Executive Director of The Alameda County Community Food Bank, on how food security is inherently tied to so many social determinants of health – including nutrition, housing, and employment. Tune in to hear how food insecurity, like many issues, cannot be solved in a silo. Also, how everyone is looking for the perfect carrot. Sharing in Our Caring is hosted by Elliot Massuda, Strategic Partnerships Manager at Foothold Technology, where he applies more than twenty years of strategic sales and partnership experience to connecting with and supporting our provider community. His co-host this episode is Foothold Technology's Senior Advisor, David Bucciferro, who brings more than 30 years of experience in the human services field working with providers, local governments, and healthcare agencies.

0:08 – Mondays with Mitch — Mitch Jeserich of Letters and Politics joins Cat Brooks and Brian Edwards-Tiekert to talk abut the Senate's reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act, known now as the USA Freedom Act, to expand the widespread surveillance across the U.S. and allow the FBI to access browsing history without first obtaining a warrant.

We're spotlighting the food bank during our spring fund drive — listeners can give a portion of their donation to KPFA to the food bank by donating here. 1:08 – CA Governor Gavin Newsom unveiled his May budget revision, with deep cuts to most areas of state spending, making up for an anticipated $54 billion shortfall as a result of Covid-19. The cuts are set to take place if the federal government does not provide funding to California. Political reporter Laurel Rosenhall (@lrosenhall) of CalMatters joins us. Her latest piece is “Newsom moves to slash school, health spending — but asks feds for a rescue.” 1:20 – Michael Herald of the Western Center for Law and Poverty explains the effect of Newsom's proposed budget cuts — many which go deeper than the cuts after the 2008 recession — on poor people. Programs implemented in the last two years and designed to keep poor people out of debt are on the chopping block. 1:34 – Amber-Rose Howard of CURB, Californians United for a Responsible Budget, calls for eliminating California's “three strikes” policy and explains what Newsom's budget means for prison spending and incarcerated people. Prisoners are dying of Covid-19 behind bars in California. Newsom is now proposing closing two state prisons — but Howard says Newsom has fallen short of Jerry Brown's record on commutations and that more action is needed from the governor. “Prison is no place for a pandemic” illustration by Micah Bazant.

In this episode of Who Belongs? we speak with Alex Boskovich, who is the Government Relations Officer at the Alameda County Community Food Bank based in Oakland, which collects and distributes food and other resources to about 300 partner organizations throughout Alameda county, including food pantries, churches, senior centers, schools, and other organizations. Just prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 the food bank had partnered with the Othering & Belonging Institute’s Civic Engagement Narrative Change project for some trainings on cultivating inclusive messaging and developing an identity that can bridge across community to build voice and power. The focus of the interview is on the sudden and very powerful impact that pandemic has had on the demand for the services provided by the Alameda County Community Food Bank, and Alex’s observations on how the crisis has magnified the gross inequities in society in how different populations are experiencing the pandemic when it comes to access to food.

Ms. Theodora Lee, a partner and trial lawyer at Littler is the founder and owner of Theopolis Vineyards. Her passion for wine began upon her arrival to San Francisco from Texas in 1987, primarily due to the influence of her law firm mentors, many of whom owned vineyards. This led Ms. Lee to take several viticulture classes at UC Davis, before deciding to develop her own vineyard. In 2001, Ms. Lee purchased sheep land in the Yorkville Highlands of Anderson Valley, and began developing her vineyard. Finally, in 2003, Ms. Lee planted her vineyard, and adopted her Greek name, from pledging Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and established Theopolis Vineyards. In the wine world, Ms. Lee is known as Theo-patra, Queen of the Vineyards. Wine Critic Robert Parker bestowed upon wine made from grapes harvested from Theopolis Vineyards a stellar rating of 94-96 points, a spectacular showing for the vintner's first harvest in 2006. Emboldened by the great fruit produced by the land, Ms. Lee, a bold and dynamic Texan, decided to bottle her own wines in 2014. In addition to bottling the richly intense and flavorful Petite Sirah, Theopolis Vineyards strikes a lighter note by bottling a Symphony, a white wine grape, which is a crossing of Muscat and Grenache Gris. Ms. Lee also bottles the unique Rosé of Petite Sirah, an Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, and a Yorkville Highland Pinot Noir.

The 2013 Theopolis Vineyards Estate Grown Petite Sirah recently won a Double Gold Medal and 95 points at the 2016 San Francisco International Wine Competition, which is considered to be one of the most influential wine competitions in the world. The September 2016 Issue of Somm Journal listed the 2013 Theopolis Vineyards Estate Grown Petite Sirah as Best in Class, meaning it is considered the best Petite Sirah in the world. The other wines from Theopolis Vineyards including the 2014 Symphony and the 2014 Pinot Noir have won either silver and/or bronze medals at the San Francisco Chronicle International Wine Competition, the Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition or the San Francisco International Wine Competition. Wine Enthusiast Magazine has bestowed on wines from Theopolis Vineyards 90 plus Points, and those wines are featured in the March 2017 Issue of that magazine. In addition to practicing law and making wine, Ms. Lee serves as Co-Chair of the Board Development Committee for the Board of Directors of the YMCA of San Francisco and a Member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Legal Aid. She is the Past President of Bay Area Black United Fund and the Alameda County Community Food Bank, and Past Vice President of the United Negro College Fund San Francisco Advisory Board.
