Fresno Flyer Vol 2 No 7

EDITOR’S NOTE A long time ago, or so it feels, when I was in college I cowrote a short film as part of a class project. It was a postapocalyptic zombie drama (before The Walking Dead made zombies the rockstars they are today) and I drew the short straw in playing the lead role of a feisty survivor.

To appear as though my character was living in a postapocalyptic world, I had to wear worn clothes, layer up, put grease and dirt on my face, and overall look like a well-kept mess.

As a class, we scouted our locations and chose to film in downtown Fresno, because at the time it looked like no one had been there in quite some time. It was the perfect place to shoot a post-apocalyptic movie. We chose some empty lot sandwiched between two buildings and staged our scenes.

Somewhere in the hours of filming, I needed to hit a restroom. There was a small diner not too far away from where we were, and alone, I walked to the restaurant.

As soon as I walked inside, every pair of eyes behind the dining counter was on me.

All the employees, just staring directly at me.

Out of habit, I smile expecting a return smile, or at the very least a courteous nod. I received none; the glares made me feel very unwelcome.

All I could think as I walked towards the back was “What the hell is their problem?”

In the bathroom, while washing my hands, I looked up and saw in the mirror why

they were sneering at me. My face was smudged and covered in dirt to look the part I was playing in the film. I looked down and saw what I was wearing; it was a trench coat with a sweater underneath, dirty jeans, boots, and a backpack strapped to my back. It hit me. I looked homeless.

Walking out of the bathroom and through the diner, I felt all their eyes on me again. My face burned with embarrassment as I knew what they were thinking. I fought the urge to take out my wallet and say “I have money, I’m a student, I’m just working on a class project!” The look of disdain fuming from their faces etched its way into my memory. I remember wishing I could tell them that I wasn’t who they thought I was, that I was, in fact, a good person in spite of their assumptions, but ultimately deciding to say nothing only because I smiled at them and they never smiled back.

It’s probably a modicum of what the homeless endure with everyone around them, but that small event left a crushing impression on me. Something so insignificant as a mere smile from those diner employees would have kept me from feeling like I didn’t deserve to be in that restaurant doing such a human thing like going to the restroom.

It’s a reminder that tiny gestures of human kindness go a long way. And that we’re all capable of giving it, we just have to make an effort to do so.

KINDNESS NOT JAIL EMPATHY NOT FINES

by Lisa Talley | lisa@fresnoflyer.com

“

Humanize them.” Carrying over the noise of Fresno City Council’s recent passing of the camping-ban ordinance, this mantra has quickly become the unifying voice against the city’s decision to, for lack of a better word, criminalize the homeless.

On August 17, 2017, in a 4-1 vote, the City Council declared tents, leantos, and general camping on public or private property within Fresno City limits illegal. Those caught in violation will have the option to be escorted to MAP Point – Multi-Agency Access Program based at the Poverello House – for housing, health, rehabilitation, etc. otherwise that individual faces jail time of up to 6 months or receives a $1,000 fine. The ordinance went into effect on September 30, 2017.

On the surface, the ordinance appears to be that built from good intentions, urging those on the street to seek help as an alternative to being charged with the misdemeanor crime. It also heavily implies that there are large numbers of homeless individuals who either aren’t aware of these services or refuse to utilize them, that they prefer life on the streets and make a choice to remain homeless. This ordinance has been described as a method of “tough love” by Don Eskes, CEO of the Fresno Rescue Mission, and the ordinance’s initial sponsor, Councilman Steve Brandau. However, despite its facile good intentions, the law and its proponents lack depth and foresight.

“There are people out there, who have had a [housing voucher] for 3 months, still sleeping on the streets or in the park, waiting for a home,” says Desiree Martinez Founder of the non-profit organization, We Are Not Invisible Foundation dba Homeless In Fresno – in response to the ordinance.

Martinez’s sentiments echo that of other organizations who are also struggling with a lack of resources. The homeless population outnumbers that of available beds in local shelters.

In the August 17 City Council meeting, numerous Fresno residents called to question the efficiency of the ordinance.

Fresno Madera Continuum of Care Vice Chair, Jody Ketcheside, stated, “There are some misconceptions about available shelters in our community. We do have one large shelter that people can stay in for up to 30 days. Once they’ve timed out at 30 days, they cannot return for another year. Our MAP Point clients that are currently on the list for housing, once they’ve stayed in the shelter for 30 days, they have to go back to the streets.”

It begs an earnest question that supporters of the ordinance need to consider. What are the homeless supposed to do if they’ve gone through the services, assigned to a caseworker, have a housing voucher in hand – and they are currently in limbo as they wait for a home to become available – but no shelter has space for them? What are they to do then, where are they supposed to go, if not the streets? And it’s a question that no member of City Council or City Officials has yet to provide an answer.

“When people say ‘you’re homeless because you want to be’ that sends rage through them. No one truly wants to be homeless. The addicts, the alcoholics, even they want to be inside of a house hiding as they do drugs or drink. They don’t want to be out in public letting everyone know their business,” shares Martinez of the continuing misunderstanding that homelessness is, for some, a choice.

“The ordinance is [going to harm] a lot more people. There’s going to be a lot more victims, there are a lot of rapes that go down out there,” Martinez’s voice grows soft as she continues at this point. “There are a lot of women out here, and they’re the ones saying ‘if you take away my tent I will be breaking in [somewhere], I’m not going to [be without] any protection over me all night long.”

Living on the streets is not part of a counter-culture movement or a vacation from responsibility; the streets are a dangerous place. Tents and impromptu shelters provide protection, however minimal it may seem, from not only the elements but also from people. According to Martinez, accounts of assault are common as victims fight off assailants who will attack at the sound of a tent zipper coming undone. The level of attacks is also the reason why so many dogs live amongst the homeless.

But it’s not just attacks from others within the homeless community that they have to worry about; it’s also the attacks from those on the outside.

“They’ve had rocks thrown at them, tire irons, and even cinder blocks – kids were driving by throwing cinder blocks onto tents – and the tents have, at times, protected them,” says Martinez.

The unsheltered population is a marginalized group where a significant disparity persists in the understanding between those living on the street and everyone else.

Many believe that the path to truly solving the issue of homelessness begins with compassion, empathy, and acknowledgment, not with criminalization.

Desiree Martinez started Homeless in Fresno for the sole purpose of bridging the gap of communication between the fortunate and less fortunate. The focus centered around a media project that documented life in the streets of Fresno through the photography and video medium. However, it was not through the lens of a camera that sparked her passion in advocating for the homeless, but the fact that she knows, firsthand, what it’s like to be homeless.

“I know what it’s like to be hungry.

I know what it feels like to be homeless. I know what it feels like to see people react when they find out you’re homeless,” she shares. “And it’s always one of 2 reactions, overwhelming pity or blame, ‘you chose it,

| FEATURED | DINING | CALENDAR | MUSIC | B&S | CLASSIFIEDS |

you deserve to be homeless.”

At the mere mention of the word ‘homeless,’ a gap seems to manifest and widen with every passing moment between the sheltered and unsheltered. Recall, if you can, the last time you encountered a homeless person, did you talk to them? Did you say hello? Or did you walk past them without a glance?

“People don’t know that their words and expressions are like daggers. They notice when you walk by without looking at them and ignoring them,” she continues.

Through her organization, Martinez focuses on the needs and issues of the street homeless. Down in the trenches, she works face to face with the less fortunate, often without any breaks or days off, implementing any number of her six projects at one time. At its core, Martinez built these projects around the immediate needs of the community, but they also provide an opportunity for volunteers to work in close collaboration and more personally with the street homeless.

HOMELESS IN FRESNO PROJECTS Project H2O April to September

At the inception of her media project, Martinez began observing that there was a severe lack of available water and access to water. “[There was a] lack of fountains, lack of restaurants and businesses willing to give out water. Everyone was dying of thirst so I started Project H2O]” she states.

It’s a simple necessity that often goes unnoticed. Aside from needing the water to drink, it’s also used for bathing, washing clothes, cooking, and also to keep their

Martinez also spends this time speaking at elementary schools and Fresno City College to raise awareness by educating the public about hypothermia and ways to keep warm Potluck in the Park Every Month on the 3rd Saturday

Desiree Martinez holds her ground at the Sept 29 protest of the anti-camping ordinance held at Fresno City Hall - photo credit: Richard Iyall animals hydrated.

During the hottest months of the year, when temperatures reach 110 degrees, water is crucial. Without access to cooling centers or an air-conditioned building, those living on the streets are at an increased risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Martinez adapted the project to hand out frozen water bottles because of this.

Water is needed all year round, but larger quantities are also necessary during the project’s current months (April – September). Volunteers are also needed to help freeze the bottles and disperse them out to the community.

Hoodies for the Homies September to February

“I came up with Hoodies for the Homies because last year I did a coat drive and I got hundreds and hundreds of coats…

I had been blessed by the community so much. But I came to find out that we were receiving a lot of parkas, wool blazers… just really expensive jacket wear,” says Martinez.

The most pressing issue surrounding these types of donations were regarding the durability of the coat through the rainy weather. As it rains, the coats become wet, and as the homeless do not have access to laundry mats to dry their clothes, they stay wet. Often, if a person attempts to hang their clothes to dry, they’re taken down by the police, and over time, the wet clothes will begin to smell, and the homeless have no choice but to throw them away. Martinez was plowing right through the donations which caused her to seek out a better method.

Hooded sweatshirts became the answer due to their flexibility and comfort.

Martinez took it a step further and decided to include a poncho with every hoodie to help keep it dry.

Donations of ponchos are always welcome, but Martinez wants people to bear in mind that the ponchos from places like the Dollar Tree only last through a single rain.

Project Share the Warmth October to April

Centering around everything warm, the object of this project includes giving out soups, hot cocoa, hot coffee, hot tea, scarves, mittens, hats, blankets, hand warmers, socks, etc.

“I can’t have enough socks. They go through socks every single day because of the rain. [Socks are] also multipurpose, they’ll string them together and make scarves, cut holes in them and make gloves, or turn them into a sweater for their Chihuahua,” says Martinez.

Donations that help keep the homeless warm and dry are welcome. Wool blankets are encouraged as they are more

This project allows members of the community to interact with and get to know some homeless individuals. It invites anyone and everyone to bring a dish, sponsor meals or to volunteer on the serving line. However, this potluck has specific restrictions for the person or business who decides to participate.

Each volunteer is required to not only prepare the food they’re donating but also to package and serve it themselves. As this is a community event that gives access for the homeless to a warm, home-cooked style meal with more substantial nutrition, but it’s also a learning experience that teaches people how to communicate with the less fortunate.

“We talk to strangers, hold open doors for people we’ve never met, but we’re afraid to talk to someone who’s poor? I’ll have six people on the serving table, and I tell them to make sure they ask everyone their name and how their day’s been going.

When they take a break to eat, they are to sit down and eat next to a homeless individual and get to know them,” explains Martinez.

Businesses who have participated in the past include Deli Delicious, Smokin’ Burrito food truck, and WTF food truck.

Hygiene Project All Year Round “I’ve been thinking of calling it Project Dignity,” shares Martinez.

Hygiene kits include toothpaste, deodorant, toilet paper, cotton swabs, feminine products, and other items useable without access to water such as wet wipes and dry shampoo. It’s important to remember that water, even if accessible, is extremely limited.

The project also raises awareness of not only what to give but what not to give. Mouthwash and hand sanitizer contain alcohol; the alcoholics will drink it and become sick.

Earplugs are also included in the kits to address a much more alarming issue.

“They sleep on the ground and the amount of bugs that out in the winter time… We have a lot of people out there who are pulling roaches and bugs out of their ears,” explains Martinez.

Project Street Clean All Year Round

This unique project puts the homeless to work in exchange for food. More specifically, Martinez hands out trash bags to homeless volunteers and instructs them to pick up the trash in parks and community areas. Once the bags are full, they turn them into Martinez who hands back a meal.

“I’ve been doing this for almost two years, helping them, but I needed to start holding them accountable. So I started showing up saying ‘no one’s getting any free food anymore, you’re going to have to work for it,’” Martinez says.

It’s an effort to prove to the rest of the community that there are those who are willing to work and not everyone who is homeless deserves the label of criminal, dirty, or mentally ill.

Parks and Recreation at Roeding Park have begun working with Martinez by disposing of the collected trash.

Get Involved

Desiree Martinez has found her calling in dedicating her life’s work to helping the street homeless, working nearly 365 days a year directly with the community.

And even though many of us are unable to give of ourselves, in the same way, we can still be part of the solution in small but meaningful doses.

Homeless in Fresno is a staff of one as Martinez is the organization’s only fulltime staff member, so it goes without saying that volunteers are not only welcome but encouraged. Donations in the form of supplies or monetary are also a big help.

Many other local organizations are in the same boat as Martinez, as they struggle to keep up with the needs of the homeless community. Find a shelter or group near you that aligns with your available contribution levels.

And no matter your situation, there is one thing that we can all give that costs absolutely nothing: compassion.

The homeless issue is a complex one filled with many factors. There are some who suffer from mental illness and lack access to treatment, others who are afflicted with addiction and alcoholism, and plenty of those who only fell on hard times without a support system to catch them. If we, as a community, hope ever to resolve this problem we must begin with kindness, remembering that these individuals are brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers. They are people, our people.

FOR THE FUTURE // LIFE

Dear Revolutionaries RESOURCES

by Kayla Moon | futureofminds@gmail.com

S

top going to meetings that have no concrete strategies; it’s not working. Stop marching on the street corners, put the signs down, politicians aren’t listening. Go home and start doing the work that matters. Invest in your families, your circles, and your places of influence.

Dear activists, stop killing yourselves for the revolution. If you haven’t slept in three days because of all the latest news, policies, protests, rallies and meetings and you’re beginning to see grey hairs sprout faster than the weeds in your backyard, stop.

Also, stop with the pessimism and the doom.

If activists and revolutionaries spent half the time building and creating what they wished to see, rather than talking about how corrupt and broken the system is, our problems would gradually dwindle.

Power grows when collective actions start breaking old habits and move away from the status-quo. Creating trendy signs is not going to solve our national and global problems. Activism and humanity as a whole must reach deeper levels of how we view and interact with our current reality. It appears to be a fundamental understanding that city halls are broken; state capitals are broken, America is broken. So, what’s our strategy to fix it?

The time has come to grasp these realities, start building and move on. Let our radical collective actions set the example of what we expect from both community and government. When you resist the structural oppression placed on society, we lose valuable energy in that fight. But if you turn your back and begin creating something new or hack into the system itself, a much more beneficial effect is gained over merely opposing the corruption.

Investing in local social support, innovation, productivity, and functionality is the only valuable solution. It appears, due to conveniently placed media coverage that the whole nation could crumble at any moment.

We all watched as armed protestors with shields and masks swarmed to fight other protesters in Charlottesville on August 12, 2017. We witnessed the Woman’s March that gathered more than 2 million women nationally on January 21, 2017. The end conclusion of the Woman’s March was simply to send postcards to their representatives as the ‘call-to-action.’ Both of these protests (one peaceful and the other with the intent to cause harm) provided no tangible results.

In our present time, this may be an opportune moment to take a step back and ask: what does the progression of humanity even look like? Do images rise vividly in your imagination filled with feelings of comfort or does it include violence against someone whose beliefs or appearance differs from your

own? Does it include the beauty of change, with empowered people coming together and building resources which meet the needs of their community? Or is the information era fueled by ignorance, confusion, and hate?

Within the revolution that YOU envision, how are people treated? Are they treated with kindness and respect? Do you practice nurturing others in your daily life? When you imagine the evolution of a nation, what are the moral structures which allow harmony to exist? More importantly, do you practice harmonious methods of kindness and respect with your spouse, your partner, your children, your family, and your friends? Or is the drive for success and making a name for yourself in this lifetime so overpowering that you neglect your obligations to yourself and those around you? In being an American does your thirst for triumph drive you to oppress another or do you participate in this society with the intent to change the world for the better? Do you put in just enough effort to get what you need to survive or to contribute enough for the benefit of the collective?

I write with the intention to tell Americans that it’s ok to slow down, take a deep breath, self-inventory. As Luisah Teish would say “you gotta be willing to LIVE for the revolution, not die for it, honey.” Check in, ask yourself why it is we can not manifest the society we wish to see? Could it be that we’ve invested our time, energy, and finances in all the wrong areas?

Here are a few examples locally and throughout the US of people who are creatively manifesting change either locally or globally on a daily basis.

Luke Rudowski - A Multi-Media Journalist and founder of Change Media University. Change Media University is a program that teaches people how to cover important events in their community adequately. Being a member allows access to the We Are Change network and introduces members to people around the world who find value in non-corporate media narratives and agendas.

Micah White - Co-founder of Occupy Wall Street and author of The End of Protest. Micah ran for Mayor in Nehalem, Oregon to experiment with rural politics.

One of his views that have been highly influential is that activists need to start winning elections to change politics at its core.

Reverend Floyd Harris- Founder of The Freedom School, where students learn various subjects including automotive maintenance, culture, science, culinary arts, farming, journalism, personal development and more. One of Floyd’s influential factors pulls from the roots of the Black Panther Party. The Black Panther Party saw their

children going to school hungry as a crisis.

With a sense of urgency, the organization started a meal program that would later become implemented into the national public education system. It’s the simple concept that if your needs are not being met by the political structures that be, then create microsystems of functioning ones to tighten the degree of functionality in that region.

Reverend Floyd is continuing this tradition in his community.

Desiree Martinez - Founder of the We Are Not Invisible Foundation, which serves the homeless community in Fresno, CA. Desiree’s organization advocates for the homeless via social media, local government, and California’s state capital. Desiree’s foundation also supplies Fresno’s homeless community with food, hygiene products, blankets, clothing and water year round.

There are millions of people around the world working for social and structural justice. Many may be in your community, and you just don’t know it yet. These are just four people who carry originality, creativity, and imagination as a driving factor in their lives. No longer can we continue to hold rallies for and with people who already agree with our message, or hold monthly meetings that go nowhere. And please leave the street corners alone and stop yelling at people who already agree with you about the broken system.

So where do we go from here?

I encourage every reader to take into consideration that no matter who you are, whether you are a janitor, doctor, teacher, line clerk, chef, etc. to critically analyze what it looks like to be a facilitator of justice in your field. It may be as seemingly small as setting your phone down and having a conversation with the person in front of you. It may look like a weekly meetup group that plans monthly activities and workshops in your area or building an after-school program or writing a new curriculum in your place of work. It may look like community fundraisers, or help to create new bus routes. And if the city doesn’t comply with bus routes, maybe it sounds like setting up a volunteer system to get people to where they need to be. Only you know what you do best, so go out there and build something, be fearless in your inventions and solutions, our future depends on it.

Every role is vital, from the front line store clerks, teachers, the politicians who fight against corruption. Every part is necessary, but in the current political state, we profoundly and radically need to reassess what’s working and what’s broken. What can we build and what must be left in the past, what is genuine change and what is resistance?

For the future of humanity depends on all of us being revolutionaries.

Simplify Fall With One-Dish Meals

(BPT) - Fall feels like a new year - new classes in school, new friends and new activities.

It’s the perfect time for new meal ideas too!

Put a new spin on family dinner favorites by adding unexpected ingredients such as California grapes. Change to a different pasta shape, sauce or cheese to create a new dish. Go meatless or vegetarian one night a week for a new dinner option. Remember to plan and shop ahead to help save time.

When making a shopping list, be sure to include California grapes; not only are they a quick and perfect snack or easy side dish, but they’re also a versatile ingredient.

A one-dish meal can be a new approach to dinner. Start with a family favorite like pasta - its neutral flavor blends well with nearly everything and the dozens of different shapes make mealtime more fun! Next, toss in a vegetable like spinach that doesn’t need to be cooked. For protein, pick a distinctly flavored cheese such as blue cheese. To finish the dish, add colorful fruit, such as California grapes. Fresh grapes bring an element of surprise, with their sweet-tart flavor to counterbalance the sharpness of the cheese and crisp texture that delivers a satisfying bite.

Delight in new fall colors by building a meal around sweet potatoes. Like pas-

ta, they are well-suited for the layering of flavors, textures and colors. Short on time?

Cook them in the microwave rather than the oven. Then top with a sweet and tangy flavor combination of grapes, lightly caramelized onions and vinegar. Finish with Mediterranean-inspired flair by combining cilantro, mint or other fresh herbs with feta cheese. This classic Greek cheese is made Roasted Sweet Potatoes from cow, sheep and/or goat milk and with Onions, Grapes differs in flavor and saltiness depending and Feta on style and region.

CALENDAR \\ DEFEAT SHENANIGANS

by Edna Pedroza | Graphic Designer edna.o.pedroza@gmail.com

M

y heart still vomits when I think of the time my beloved huffy bicycle, which I had newly won in a 5th-grade school raffle (a raffle which I qualified for by having perfect attendance) was stolen. It was taken from my front porch no less, and it was an experience that left me feeling like the world was evil and unjust. It was only one of the many early-inlife revelations about the world that I would encounter.

So, what did I learn from that fiasco exactly? Enthusiastically, it was how to secure my damn bicycle properly. We invest in our bikes, whether they’re beaters or gloriously expensive trophies. We emotionally invest in it by lovingly naming them, for example, I call mine “squeaks” since it’s a beater bike and well...it squeaks. We personalize our bicycles with bells, lights, yarn bombs, gadgets and

10 | OCTOBER 5 & 12, 2017

more. Thus, keenly so, we should ensure that no one will be able to sneak-attack-steal our ride.

There are many different things you can do to secure your bicycle properly against thieves. Things like finding a proper structure to lock your bike to (something sturdy and immovable), finding well-lit places to lock up at and having a small U-lock, which is ideal (the less leverage for a crowbar the better).

But, one method I want to highlight, one that wins at being the simplest and most effective is called “The Sheldon Brown Method.”

This method entails using a small U-lock to secure the back tire to an immovable object through the “triangle opening” of the frame on your bike. Thieves rarely take the time to hacksaw through a back bicycle tire, and aside from the time

| FRESNO FLYER |

it would take criminals to hacksaw through it, the rear wheel is one of the more valuable assets to a bike. Not something they’d likely want to damage if they don’t have to. Overall, it’s a quick and easy way to lock up and go. As an extra precaution, if you decide to use “The Sheldon Brown Method” you can loop a cable lock through the front wheel and bring it back to the U-lock to secure it as well.

There it is, a straightforward and efficient way to protect your bike from shenanigans. If you want to learn more about this Sheldon Brown and his method visit: www.sheldonbrown.

com/home How to Defeat Shenanigans: •

Make sure the object you’re securing your bicycle to is sturdy, give it a good shake, you’d be deceptively surprised.

•

Whenever possible at night, secure in an area that is well lit.

•

Use a small U-lock, the less leverage a thief has to pry apart the lock the better.
