Protest in St. James Park for International Women's Day and against Musk/Trump. A beautiful gathering of families, kids, workers, youth and elders coming together in unity.
The last two speakers were a young trans man and a Ukrainian refugee. Now one of our local elected leaders, County Supervisor Susan Ellenberg, is speaking about the County's efforts to defend immigrants and protect healthcare in our community, and standing up for reproductive rights, trans rights, and public education.

“Oak Tree, Sun and Fog” — Sunlight streams through thinning fog on a hillside behind an old oak tree.

This is the third and final photograph from my recent local “foggy morning” photography. To recap, when low fog stuck around here for hours (it usually dissipates very early) I headed out to the local rural landscape to make some photographs. This tree is in an area south of San Jose that was once destined to be a technology park. There’s a lot of history there, but the short story is that after the local government gave in to developer pressure there were no takers for the technology park. Today it remains relatively rural and is increasingly protected. I’d call that a victory!…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/01/29/oa

Last year, the private health care company HCA announced it was going to stop providing essential emergency, trauma, and stroke care at the only hospital in San Jose's East Side, a largely working-class, Latinx and Asian community, At the same time, HCA planned to invest millions in its hospital on the wealthy west side of town.

So - the community mobilized, and the County of Santa Clara bought the hospital!

It will now become part of our county's public health system, restore the trauma, stroke, and cardiac services that HCA closed, and be open to all.

This black and white photograph captures a moment from April 1942 in Mountain View, California. It shows two individuals walking on what appears to be a dirt road: an adult woman holding the hand of a young child while carrying a basket. The scene suggests they are possibly at or near their home, given the residential backdrop with vegetation and a building visible behind them. The photograph is titled "Mountian View, Calif., Apr 1942." A caption reads, "A scene on a Santa Clara county berry farm leased to Americans before evacuation of persons of Japanese descent like the owner under the US Army exclusion order no. 20." Notably, it's marked as an original file for the U.S. War Relocation Authority and labeled with their identification number (4-556). It is credited to Dorothea Lange ("per NARA"), a famous American photographer known for her work during the Great Depression in California. The image evokes historical context, reflecting upon events such as internment camps where individuals of Japanese ancestry were relocated due to wartime exclusion orders. The photograph thus serves not only as an artistic representation but also carries significant cultural and social implications regarding anti-Japanese sentiment during World War II.

Dorothea Lange

Mountain View, Calif. Apr. 1942. A Santa Clara County berry farm leased by its owner, of Japanese descent, to a Caucasian family, prior to the evacuation of persons of Japanese descent who will be sent to War Relocation Authority centers for the duration of the war

The image depicts a black and white photograph with an ornate border, showcasing a quaint house set amidst what appears to be cultivated land. The landscape includes bushes or shrubs in the foreground on both sides of a dirt path leading up to the property's entrance. To the left side, there is a young tree without leaves, indicative of early springtime or late winter. The house itself has a simple design with a gabled roof and appears modestly sized. The front porch features two columns supporting an overhang that provides shade for the steps below. A small garden area can be seen in front of the house, bordered by what might be low hedges or bushes. A descriptive text is present at the top of the photograph, which includes a date (April 1942), location (Mountain View, Calif.), and context about Japanese American individuals involved with agriculture before their evacuation. The document suggests that this image was taken for an official record by Dorothea Lange during her work as part of the War Relocation Authority. The overall scene conveys a sense of quiet domesticity against the backdrop of historical events impacting minority groups during wartime periods in America's history.
