I’ve loved engaging here, especially with reporters I have never met in person and people I no longer work with but admire from afar. But I’m gonna slowly migrate off this platform. Follow me on @bluesky! And let me know how to find you if you’re already there

[El Tímpano @el_timpano]

🔊On today's episode of @TheBayKQED , our reporters
@Jas_Aguilera and Cassandra Garibay spoke about their recent investigation into Oakland's lead crisis, and why the city of Oakland has still not used millions of lead settlement funds. https://t.co/2rRPQqHsJI

[Yvette Cabrera @YCabreraOC]

Don't miss this excellent story on lead exposure in Oakland by @el_timpano's @Jas_Aguilera & @CassandraGari. Their reporting team attended my Pb training workshop earlier this year, followed up with more questions, & will keep digging into this problem👏 https://t.co/YXhy3gKw89

"We’ve been negotiating for almost three years, and children are being lead poisoned." Despite receiving $4.8M of settlement funding in 2021, Oakland has still not addressed lead contamination, reports StoryReach U.S. Fellow @Jas_Aguilera for @el_timpano. https://t.co/St9r4ahlPs

[Jasmine Aguilera @Jas_Aguilera]

After months of hard engagement and investigative work w/@CassandraGari, our first part of a series of stories on lead poisoning in Oakland's Latino neighborhoods is now live!

[El Tímpano @el_timpano]

Millions in Oakland's lead settlement funds have remained unspent for years, despite the dire crisis affecting Latino immigrant neighborhoods. We reported on the bureaucratic bottleneck that led to years of inaction. https://t.co/l59O1viXRv

Excited to join these lovely people tomorrow for a topic I could talk about all day

[Investigative Reporters & Editors @IRE_NICAR]

Immigration is more than one beat, and it's more than just border reporting.

At #AccessFest24, @Jas_Aguilera, @ballesteros_312, @TerrenceFraser4 and @GalvanReports will discuss how to amplify the many diverse voices present among our immigrant communities, and how to get the news to them.

They will also walk through how some of their stories came to be, and how you can replicate them.

🗓️ Thursday, 4 p.m. ET https://t.co/v0zemZqAZO

[El Tímpano @el_timpano]

Our latest story by @Jas_Aguilera looks into #SB1016, also known as the Latino and Indigenous Disparities Reduction Act. The law will require @CAPublicHealth to begin distinguishing Mesoamerican indigenous groups in health data about Latinos.

Shout out to the @ABC moderators for fact-checking in real time. This is how you do it.

[Alfredo Corchado @ajcorchado]

Thrilled to run into mentee, @Jas_Aguilera at @IRE_NICAR . @UTEP She’s speaking today, offering tips on how to cover immigrant communities. Come by:

Folks, I’ll be in Anaheim for IRE this week. Come say hi!

[lomikriel @lomikriel]

Excited for this panel featuring GOAT @elliotspagat National Headliner investigative winner @benwermund former Time, current @el_timpano reporter @Jas_Aguilera - join us to learn more about reporting immigration w/ data from the border to Cleveland for different audiences 🧵

[Bob Moore @BobMooreNews]

We're hearing language about Biden "closing the border" when migrant crossing thresholds are reached. That's sloppy language for those who live on the border and cross regularly. The border remains open for regular commerce. Encouraging media friends to be careful with language.

We envision the StoryReach U.S. initiative as an exploratory hub that draws inspiration from local and regional outlets on their unique audience-centered reporting approach and collaborative journalism.

Some exciting news! I'm officially among the inaugural cohort of the @pulitzercenter's StoryReach US Fellowship. I might be the fellow, but really this opportunity will support the entire @el_timpano team as we take on our first year-long investigation 🔍

¡Qué bonito! Agradecida con @FundacionGabo por reconocer este hermoso trabajo liderado por @HiramADuran Mayra Sierra @Kat_Nagasawa y @Jas_Aguilera, primer multimedia de @el_timpano enfocado en fortalecer los lazos de confianza entre la redacción y la comunidad a la que servimos.

More good news! Antonio, who was dropped from Medi-Cal while working on a treatment plan for his leukemia (I wrote about him in March), was finally able to restore his insurance coverage after attending @el_timpano's Feria de Recursos last month
https://t.co/Yxb7HhpFkW

[Jasmine Aguilera @Jas_Aguilera]

@HiramADuran Covered by Medi-Cal, he learned he had leukemia. But a few months later, he showed up to a regular appointment and learned he had lost his Medi-Cal coverage. He STOPPED seeking health care after that. He still doesn't know why he lost coverage. He was never sent an explanation.
