Shaking Up The Rules Of Engagement

Seven weeks. Fifteen hundred miles. Thirty-six thousand coloring books. It’s been nearly two months since California Watch published its "On Shaky Ground" series on seismic safety in California’s public schools, but the stories’ publication did not mark the end of our efforts to cover the issue and engage Californians. During these past several weeks, I’ve traveled the state – from Oakland to Chula Vista – hosting earthquake preparedness trainings, attending safety fairs, and introducing kids to earthquake preparedness through classes, puppet shows and coloring books. Here’s a closer look at our efforts.

A state geologist tips Johnson off to a controversy over the state maps designating seismic hazard zones. An initial effort to map fault and liquefaction zones across the state was hindered by pressure from property owners and real estate agents protesting stricter -- and more expensive -- construction requirements. The seismic hazard zones were pulled back over the years. But does changing the maps change the danger? Learn more at http://californiawatch.org/earthquakes.

The Price of Sex is a feature-length documentary about young Eastern European women who’ve been drawn into a netherworld of sex trafficking and abuse. Intimate, harrowing and revealing, it is a story told by the young women who were supposed to be silenced by shame, fear and violence. Photojournalist Mimi Chakarova, who grew up in Bulgaria, takes us on a personal investigative journey, exposing the shadowy world of sex trafficking from Eastern Europe to the Middle East and Western Europe. Filming undercover and gaining extraordinary access, Chakarova illuminates how even though some women escape to tell their stories, sex trafficking thrives. Learn more at www.priceofsex.org .
