"bio": "Sandhya Dirks was the race and equity reporter at KQED. She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>When Saudi Arabia started allowing women to drive last month — a historic shift in the last country in the world to ban women from getting behind the wheel — Samah Damanhoori was watching closely from California. The 29-year-old Saudi woman has a lot at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few weeks before the ban was lifted on what was officially known as \"Driving Day,\" June 24, Saudi security officials jailed more than a dozen women activists, some of whom have advocated for the right to drive since the 1990s. In what appeared to be a government-sponsored, front-page smear campaign, Saudi newspapers published the women's names, claiming they were \"traitors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's horrifying and it's very scary, what is happening right now,\" Damanhoori says about the sweeping arrests of activists on unspecific charges. \"We still don't know why, why now, we still don't have clear answers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Damanhoori, the driving reform — something backed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, hailed as a progressive reformer by many supporters — signaled that women drivers and women workers might be part of the kingdom's plan to modernize and diversify the oil-dependent economy. But it went only so far: Saudi Arabia's sweeping guardianship rules remain in place. Every Saudi woman is required to have a male guardian — a husband, uncle, son — who makes major life decisions on her behalf, even if she's an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori has been speaking out against the guardianship laws from San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Women cannot study, cannot work, cannot even travel without male permission or a male guardian. It's as simple as that,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she won a Saudi government scholarship for a graduate program at Notre Dame de Namur University in California, her father had to approve her enrollment and her application for a passport. He had to give his consent for her to travel to the U.S. Under Saudi law, called \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em> in Arabic, Damanhoori had to have a male relative accompany her to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says her father accompanied her to California to enroll in her courses and gave permission for her to stay on without a \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em>, but when he got back to Saudi Arabia, she says, he changed his mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wrote about these events in a memoir for her master's thesis, in which she recounts a call she received from the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C.:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>' \"Who is your \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em>?'

The 29-year-old Saudi woman has a lot at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few weeks before the ban was lifted on what was officially known as \"Driving Day,\" June 24, Saudi security officials jailed more than a dozen women activists, some of whom have advocated for the right to drive since the 1990s. In what appeared to be a government-sponsored, front-page smear campaign, Saudi newspapers published the women's names, claiming they were \"traitors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's horrifying and it's very scary, what is happening right now,\" Damanhoori says about the sweeping arrests of activists on unspecific charges. \"We still don't know why, why now, we still don't have clear answers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Damanhoori, the driving reform — something backed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, hailed as a progressive reformer by many supporters — signaled that women drivers and women workers might be part of the kingdom's plan to modernize and diversify the oil-dependent economy. But it went only so far: Saudi Arabia's sweeping guardianship rules remain in place. Every Saudi woman is required to have a male guardian — a husband, uncle, son — who makes major life decisions on her behalf, even if she's an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori has been speaking out against the guardianship laws from San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Trump administration lawyers are defending their new rules on how campuses should handle cases of sexual assault. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued the new guidance last fall, after scrapping Obama-era rules that she said were forcing schools to violate the due process rights of the accused. But survivors’ advocates filed a federal lawsuit shortly after, arguing DeVos’ replacement guidelines discriminate against alleged victims and discourage them from reporting assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The message that is sent is that the administration believes that women who report sexual harassment and violence are liars,” says Jennifer Reisch, legal director of Equal Rights Advocates, one of three groups who brought the lawsuit. She spoke to reporters Thursday, after a hearing on the lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos’ interim guidelines allow schools to demand a higher standard of evidence that would make it tougher to prove an assault, permit schools to hear appeals only from the accused, and let investigations go on for an indefinite amount of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that was allowed in the Obama era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prior administration also used to require schools to protect alleged victims during investigations; now, that’s up to schools’ discretion. And the old norm of making the accused student stay away from the accuser is now considered unfair. Schools are supposed to be even-handed — prompting some to rely on “no-contact” orders that apply mutually to both students. But Reisch argues that putting the onus on alleged victims unfairly punishes them, by restricting where they can go and live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is sending a message that you come forward at your peril,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin Thurston, a senior counsel for the Democracy Forward Foundation and one of the attorneys bringing the lawsuit against the Trump administration’s guidance says that “survivors are being chilled from coming forward.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The guidance harms women,” Thurston says. “And we think there’s really significant evidence that the decision-makers at the Department of Education were motivated by a view that women and girls in general make false accusations of sexual assault. And the law is very clear that if the government was motivated by a discriminatory mindset, that’s unconstitutional.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit cites public comments from DeVos that plaintiffs say exaggerate the problem of false accusations.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued the new guidance last fall, after scrapping Obama-era rules that she said were forcing schools to violate the due process rights of the accused. But survivors’ advocates filed a federal lawsuit shortly after, arguing DeVos’ replacement guidelines discriminate against alleged victims and discourage them from reporting assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The message that is sent is that the administration believes that women who report sexual harassment and violence are liars,” says Jennifer Reisch, legal director of Equal Rights Advocates, one of three groups who brought the lawsuit. She spoke to reporters Thursday, after a hearing on the lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos’ interim guidelines allow schools to demand a higher standard of evidence that would make it tougher to prove an assault, permit schools to hear appeals only from the accused, and let investigations go on for an indefinite amount of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that was allowed in the Obama era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prior administration also used to require schools to protect alleged victims during investigations; now, that’s up to schools’ discretion. And the old norm of making the accused student stay away from the accuser is now considered unfair. Schools are supposed to be even-handed — prompting some to rely on “no-contact” orders that apply mutually to both students. But Reisch argues that putting the onus on alleged victims unfairly punishes them, by restricting where they can go and live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

McDonough says schools now see the government as more ally than adversary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights in the Department of Education during the Obama administration, says the OCR must be more aggressive in trying to uncover whether schools are handling all cases fairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the government only investigates [complaints that a student] thinks to bring to the government, the government’s not doing its job,” she says. “And I worry every day that [schools are getting] effectively a pass on complying with the law. And that will ruin young lives,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the Trump administration’s approach prompts some schools to ease up on how they handle sexual assault cases, it’s also already prompting others schools to double down, according to Andrew Miltenberg, an attorney who has represented hundreds of accused students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s driven very much by personal politics … as opposed to institutional policy,” he says. “There has been a very palpable sense of, ‘Hell no! Women have rights, and I’m not turning around and changing how we treat rape victims just because we have Donald Trump as a president.’ I’ve heard it too many times to discount,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It isn't,\" he says. \"It is an instance of knowing that you are shielded behind a crowd, that you may not be identified, and therefore you can indulge in behavior that is otherwise unacceptable in any civilized society.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that way, mobs on the street could be acting similarly to trolls on the internet — taking advantage of anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poddar is trying to change that. He's used closed-circuit TV to identify attackers. He's threatening jail time to anyone who even forwards incendiary messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Indian government has \u003ca href=\"http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=180364\">demanded that WhatsApp\u003c/a> block such messages. The company has \u003ca href=\"https://inc42.com/buzz/fake-new-alert-whatsapp-launches-forwards-label/\">responded with a new feature\u003c/a>, which labels content that has been forwarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now the most important point is to tell people that WhatsApp is not your news source,\" says Pankaj Jain, who runs the \u003ca href=\"http://smhoaxslayer.com/\">Hoax Slayer website\u003c/a>, devoted to debunking fake news online. \"It's not a newspaper, it's not a news channel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jain says he receives 20 to 30 queries a day from the public, urging him to investigate rumors or suspicious videos online. He has debunked mermaid sightings, \u003ca href=\"http://smhoaxslayer.com/?s=ghost+car\">ghost cars\u003c/a> and, increasingly in India, kidnapping videos. He traced some of the most incendiary footage to an unrelated \u003ca href=\"http://smhoaxslayer.com/?s=guatemala\">incident in Guatemala\u003c/a>, not India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With smartphones and web service getting cheaper and more ubiquitous in India, Jain says online rumors are multiplying.

It isn't,\" he says. \"It is an instance of knowing that you are shielded behind a crowd, that you may not be identified, and therefore you can indulge in behavior that is otherwise unacceptable in any civilized society.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that way, mobs on the street could be acting similarly to trolls on the internet — taking advantage of anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poddar is trying to change that. He's used closed-circuit TV to identify attackers. He's threatening jail time to anyone who even forwards incendiary messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Indian government has \u003ca href=\"http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=180364\">demanded that WhatsApp\u003c/a> block such messages. The company has \u003ca href=\"https://inc42.com/buzz/fake-new-alert-whatsapp-launches-forwards-label/\">responded with a new feature\u003c/a>, which labels content that has been forwarded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now the most important point is to tell people that WhatsApp is not your news source,\" says Pankaj Jain, who runs the \u003ca href=\"http://smhoaxslayer.com/\">Hoax Slayer website\u003c/a>, devoted to debunking fake news online. \"It's not a newspaper, it's not a news channel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jain says he receives 20 to 30 queries a day from the public, urging him to investigate rumors or suspicious videos online. He has debunked mermaid sightings, \u003ca href=\"http://smhoaxslayer.com/?s=ghost+car\">ghost cars\u003c/a> and, increasingly in India, kidnapping videos. He traced some of the most incendiary footage to an unrelated \u003ca href=\"http://smhoaxslayer.com/?s=guatemala\">incident in Guatemala\u003c/a>, not India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With smartphones and web service getting cheaper and more ubiquitous in India, Jain says online rumors are multiplying. He predicts it'll grow even more next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whenever an election comes, the fake news starts spreading a lot,\" Jain says. \"So obviously it's going to increase by 2019.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2019 — next year – is when India holds its general elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"title": "Trump Taps Brett Kavanaugh as His Second Supreme Court Pick",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>President Trump plans to nominate Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. If confirmed, Trump's choice would solidify the high court's conservative majority and continue the president's push to shift the federal bench to the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump announced his choice with a prime-time address from the White House East Room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Throughout legal circles, he is considered a judge's judge, a true thought leader among his peers,\" Trump said of Kavanaugh. \"He is a brilliant jurist with a clear and effective writing style, universally regarded as one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. And just like Justice Gorsuch, he excelled as a clerk for Justice Kennedy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/home.nsf/Content/VL+-+Judges+-+BMK\">Since 2006, Kavanaugh has served\u003c/a> on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, often called the nation's second-most powerful court. He was appointed to that post by President George W. Bush, after serving as Bush's White House staff secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh graduated from Yale Law School and clerked for Kennedy in the mid-1990s. Kavanaugh later worked with independent counsel Kenneth Starr during the investigation of President Bill Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 53, Kavanaugh is relatively young. The president has said he wants a nominee who could serve on the high court for decades. He is a connected Washington insider with roots in politics and has written more than 300 opinions in the 12 years he has been on the D.C. Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to being tapped by Trump, some conservatives questioned Kavanaugh's bona fides, and he's controversial with Democrats because of his role in the Starr investigation of Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some conservatives lobbied against him, worrying that his upbringing in the suburbs of D.C. could mean he'll be the kind of justice who has disappointed conservatives before. They believe Kavanaugh is not sufficiently conservative and disagree with portions of opinions he has written relating to abortion and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As promised, Trump made his pick from \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/623944469/trump-says-he-will-nominate-new-supreme-court-justice-from-this-list\">a list of more than two dozen potential nominees\u003c/a> drawn up with the help of conservative legal activists at \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/624416666/what-is-the-federalist-society-and-how-does-it-affect-supreme-court-picks\">the Federalist Society\u003c/a> and the Heritage Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump published a similar list during the 2016 campaign, and it was widely credited with helping him win the votes of social conservatives who otherwise might have been skeptical of a thrice-married billionaire from New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not being a politician, I think people wanted to hear what some of my choices may be, and it was pretty effective,\" Trump said of the list, on the day Kennedy's retirement was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh, in brief remarks at the White House, underscored his conservative credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My judicial philosophy is straightforward,\" he said. \"A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written and a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a short list of candidates already in hand, Trump has moved quickly to select his nominee, just 12 days after Kennedy announced his retirement. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has promised to push for confirmation with similar speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think you want to go as quickly as possible,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh will begin making the rounds on Capitol Hill Tuesday, accompanied by former Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., a longtime member of the Judiciary Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are eager to have a new justice in place when the Supreme Court begins its new term in October. And they certainly want Trump's choice confirmed before the November election, when Democrats have a long-shot chance of retaking the Senate majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This incredibly qualified nominee deserves a swift confirmation and robust, bipartisan support,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has already begun using the high court vacancy as a rallying cry as he campaigns for Republicans across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Justice Kennedy's retirement makes the issue of Senate control one of the vital issues of our time,\" he told an audience in Fargo, N.D., last month. \"The most important thing we can do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans changed the Senate's rules last year to allow them to confirm a Supreme Court justice with a simple majority vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has also been wooing red-state Democrats as a kind of insurance policy. One night after Kennedy announced his retirement, Trump met with Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. All three voted in favor of Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first Supreme Court nominee. And all three are running for re-election in November in states Trump won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also met with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who have shown concern in the past about preserving access to abortion rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy had voted to preserve the core principles of the high court's 1973 ruling in \u003cem>Roe v. Wade. \u003c/em>Although Trump said he would not ask judicial candidates about their views on \u003cem>Roe\u003c/em> directly, advocates on both sides of the abortion debate believe that ruling could be vulnerable once Kennedy's successor is seated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is one reason many Democrats are demanding an all-out battle to block Trump's nominee.

If confirmed, Trump's choice would solidify the high court's conservative majority and continue the president's push to shift the federal bench to the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump announced his choice with a prime-time address from the White House East Room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Throughout legal circles, he is considered a judge's judge, a true thought leader among his peers,\" Trump said of Kavanaugh. \"He is a brilliant jurist with a clear and effective writing style, universally regarded as one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. And just like Justice Gorsuch, he excelled as a clerk for Justice Kennedy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/home.nsf/Content/VL+-+Judges+-+BMK\">Since 2006, Kavanaugh has served\u003c/a> on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, often called the nation's second-most powerful court. He was appointed to that post by President George W. Bush, after serving as Bush's White House staff secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh graduated from Yale Law School and clerked for Kennedy in the mid-1990s. Kavanaugh later worked with independent counsel Kenneth Starr during the investigation of President Bill Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He is a connected Washington insider with roots in politics and has written more than 300 opinions in the 12 years he has been on the D.C. Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to being tapped by Trump, some conservatives questioned Kavanaugh's bona fides, and he's controversial with Democrats because of his role in the Starr investigation of Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some conservatives lobbied against him, worrying that his upbringing in the suburbs of D.C. could mean he'll be the kind of justice who has disappointed conservatives before. They believe Kavanaugh is not sufficiently conservative and disagree with portions of opinions he has written relating to abortion and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As promised, Trump made his pick from \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/623944469/trump-says-he-will-nominate-new-supreme-court-justice-from-this-list\">a list of more than two dozen potential nominees\u003c/a> drawn up with the help of conservative legal activists at \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/624416666/what-is-the-federalist-society-and-how-does-it-affect-supreme-court-picks\">the Federalist Society\u003c/a> and the Heritage Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump published a similar list during the 2016 campaign, and it was widely credited with helping him win the votes of social conservatives who otherwise might have been skeptical of a thrice-married billionaire from New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not being a politician, I think people wanted to hear what some of my choices may be, and it was pretty effective,\" Trump said of the list, on the day Kennedy's retirement was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh, in brief remarks at the White House, underscored his conservative credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My judicial philosophy is straightforward,\" he said. \"A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written and a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a short list of candidates already in hand, Trump has moved quickly to select his nominee, just 12 days after Kennedy announced his retirement. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has promised to push for confirmation with similar speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think you want to go as quickly as possible,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh will begin making the rounds on Capitol Hill Tuesday, accompanied by former Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., a longtime member of the Judiciary Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are eager to have a new justice in place when the Supreme Court begins its new term in October. And they certainly want Trump's choice confirmed before the November election, when Democrats have a long-shot chance of retaking the Senate majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This incredibly qualified nominee deserves a swift confirmation and robust, bipartisan support,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has already begun using the high court vacancy as a rallying cry as he campaigns for Republicans across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Justice Kennedy's retirement makes the issue of Senate control one of the vital issues of our time,\" he told an audience in Fargo, N.D., last month. \"The most important thing we can do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans changed the Senate's rules last year to allow them to confirm a Supreme Court justice with a simple majority vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has also been wooing red-state Democrats as a kind of insurance policy. One night after Kennedy announced his retirement, Trump met with Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. All three voted in favor of Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first Supreme Court nominee. And all three are running for re-election in November in states Trump won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also met with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who have shown concern in the past about preserving access to abortion rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy had voted to preserve the core principles of the high court's 1973 ruling in \u003cem>Roe v. Wade. \u003c/em>Although Trump said he would not ask judicial candidates about their views on \u003cem>Roe\u003c/em> directly, advocates on both sides of the abortion debate believe that ruling could be vulnerable once Kennedy's successor is seated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is one reason many Democrats are demanding an all-out battle to block Trump's nominee. But with only 49 votes in the Senate, Democrats have few tools to work with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, Senate Republicans were in the majority in 2016, when McConnell and his GOP colleagues blocked President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, for more than nine months, following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By keeping Scalia's seat open, McConnell gave Trump a head start in putting his own stamp on the high court, and the president acknowledged as much when Gorsuch was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/04/10/523281405/trump-cheers-elevation-of-gorsuch-to-supreme-court\">sworn in last year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I especially want to express our gratitude to Mitch McConnell for all that he did to make this achievement possible,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell and Trump were rewarded this year with a string of 5-4 decisions in which Gorsuch cast votes favorable to the president and the GOP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Republicans' stonewalling strategy extended to lower courts as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just as they held the Merrick Garland seat open on the Supreme Court, they also held open an awful lot of vacancies on the district courts and the courts of appeal,\" said Russell Wheeler, who tracks judicial nominations at the Brookings Institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Of the nearly 3,000 migrant minors who were separated from their parents and placed in federal custody, the Trump administration says at least 102 are under 5 years old. And for several weeks, administration officials have been under a court-ordered deadline: Reunite those young children with their parents, and do it quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, one day before a Tuesday deadline, the administration says authorities expect to return just over half of the kids — but that they will need more time to figure out the rest. On Monday, Justice Department attorney Sarah Fabian told a federal court in San Diego that at least 54 children — and as many as 59 — will be reunited with their families in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, two children under 5 years old have been returned to their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reuniting the remainder has proved to be a much tougher task for Justice and immigration officials, who for months separated migrant families at the U.S-Mexico border under the Trump administration's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/19/621065383/what-we-know-family-separation-and-zero-tolerance-at-the-border\">zero tolerance policy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump ended the practice \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/20/622095441/trump-executive-order-on-family-separation-what-it-does-and-doesnt-do\">with an executive order\u003c/a> last month, but federal officials have struggled since then with how, exactly, to undo its results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fabian attributed the holdup to difficulties tracking down some parents, and to necessary background checks on those whom they've found. Several parents have already been deported, while authorities disqualified others due to criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's John Burnett \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/06/626664205/aclu-family-separation-hearing\">explained Friday\u003c/a>, the Department of Health and Human Services says it has hired 250 additional personnel in the sprint to comply with the court order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're working nights and weekends to comply with the judge's orders. But they say they have to do cheek swabs of the children and the parents to do DNA tests to establish parentage. They have to conduct criminal background checks of the parents. They have to determine the fitness of the parents to be able to release the kids to them,\" Burnett noted. \"And so the government says the tension is between a fast release and a safe release.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these efforts, there's a chance the government's list of young children awaiting reunion may actually grow before authorities can reduce it further. Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the lawsuit, said activists have turned up as many as 10 more names that need to added to the number of separated kids still in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That discrepancy in numbers is one of several disagreements both sides of the suit, the Justice Department and the ACLU, pledged to discuss later Monday. In the courtroom, they expressed openness to collaborating on several issues, including searching for parents who have been removed from the U.S. and double-checking the criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the other remaining question marks is whether authorities can streamline their vetting process for the migrant parents — which ACLU attorneys have described as needlessly cumbersome — and whether the government can pass along the locations migrant families will be released from custody, so that charity groups can more quickly offer them support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/626664205/626664208\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As daunting as the process appeared in court, this week's deadline concerns less than 5 percent of the children separated from their parents in recent months. Under Sabraw's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/27/623763875/judge-bars-migrant-family-separations-orders-return-of-children-within-30-days\">order last month\u003c/a>, the rest of the minors will need to be returned to their families by July 26.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, many of these children have had to face their immigration proceedings without their parents in court. NPR's Sasha Ingber \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/08/627082032/1-year-old-shows-up-in-immigration-court\">pointed out\u003c/a> one incident in which a 1-year-old boy was brought before a judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[Judge] John W. Richardson ... said he was 'embarrassed to ask' if the defendant understood the proceedings,\" Sasha reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And activists, for their part, have described a \"bureaucratic wall\" that has prevented detained parents from finding and contacting their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The systems that are in place are absolutely not equipped to deal with this,\" Emily Kephart of the nonprofit Kids in Need of Defense \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/624127967/reuniting-families-separated-at-the-border-proves-complicated\">told NPR's Nurith Aizenman last month\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, despite the frustrations and delays, Sabraw sounded a positive note, suggesting that he would be inclined to extend the July 10 deadline given the work that Fabian presented Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is real progress, I'm optimistic that many of these families will be reunited tomorrow,\" he told the courtroom. \"And then we'll have a very clear understanding as to who has not been reunited, why not and what time frame will be in place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

And for several weeks, administration officials have been under a court-ordered deadline: Reunite those young children with their parents, and do it quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, one day before a Tuesday deadline, the administration says authorities expect to return just over half of the kids — but that they will need more time to figure out the rest. On Monday, Justice Department attorney Sarah Fabian told a federal court in San Diego that at least 54 children — and as many as 59 — will be reunited with their families in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, two children under 5 years old have been returned to their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reuniting the remainder has proved to be a much tougher task for Justice and immigration officials, who for months separated migrant families at the U.S-Mexico border under the Trump administration's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/19/621065383/what-we-know-family-separation-and-zero-tolerance-at-the-border\">zero tolerance policy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump ended the practice \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/20/622095441/trump-executive-order-on-family-separation-what-it-does-and-doesnt-do\">with an executive order\u003c/a> last month, but federal officials have struggled since then with how, exactly, to undo its results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Several parents have already been deported, while authorities disqualified others due to criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's John Burnett \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/06/626664205/aclu-family-separation-hearing\">explained Friday\u003c/a>, the Department of Health and Human Services says it has hired 250 additional personnel in the sprint to comply with the court order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're working nights and weekends to comply with the judge's orders. But they say they have to do cheek swabs of the children and the parents to do DNA tests to establish parentage. They have to conduct criminal background checks of the parents. They have to determine the fitness of the parents to be able to release the kids to them,\" Burnett noted. \"And so the government says the tension is between a fast release and a safe release.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these efforts, there's a chance the government's list of young children awaiting reunion may actually grow before authorities can reduce it further. Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the lawsuit, said activists have turned up as many as 10 more names that need to added to the number of separated kids still in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That discrepancy in numbers is one of several disagreements both sides of the suit, the Justice Department and the ACLU, pledged to discuss later Monday. In the courtroom, they expressed openness to collaborating on several issues, including searching for parents who have been removed from the U.S. and double-checking the criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the other remaining question marks is whether authorities can streamline their vetting process for the migrant parents — which ACLU attorneys have described as needlessly cumbersome — and whether the government can pass along the locations migrant families will be released from custody, so that charity groups can more quickly offer them support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/626664205/626664208\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As daunting as the process appeared in court, this week's deadline concerns less than 5 percent of the children separated from their parents in recent months.

NPR's Sasha Ingber \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/08/627082032/1-year-old-shows-up-in-immigration-court\">pointed out\u003c/a> one incident in which a 1-year-old boy was brought before a judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[Judge] John W.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion with the court’s conservatives joining him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under Illinois law, public employees are forced to subsidize a union, even if they choose not to join and strongly object to the positions the union takes in collective bargaining and related activities,” Alito wrote. “We conclude that this arrangement violates the free speech rights of nonmembers by compelling them to subsidize private speech on matters of substantial public concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision reverses a four-decades-old precedent and upends laws in 22 states. It also comes on the last day of this Supreme Court term, adding an exclamation point on the final sentence of a chapter that began with the appointment of conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch and saw conservative wins in decision after decision. This term was also an affirmation of the risky political gambit played by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who denied a confirmation hearing for Judge Merrick Garland, President Obama’s pick for the court after Justice Antonin Scalia died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiff in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/01/582539884/supreme-court-could-bleed-unions-dry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this case\u003c/a>, Mark Janus, a child-support specialist for the state of Illinois, challenged a requirement that government workers who opt out of a union still have to pay partial dues to cover the union’s cost of negotiation and other functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1977, the Supreme Court had drawn a distinction between such mandatory “agency fees” and other voluntary union dues, which might be used for lobbying or other political activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday’s decision erases that distinction. The court’s conservative wing found that negotiations by public sector unions are inherently political and nonmembers cannot be compelled to pay for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In addition to affecting how public money is spent, union speech in collective bargaining addresses many other important matters,” Alito wrote. “We have often recognized that such speech ‘occupies the highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values’ and merits ‘special protection.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101865964/what-janus-v-afscme-could-mean-for-public-sector-unions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Janus v.

Rarely if ever has the Court overruled a decision — let alone one of this import — with so little regard for the usual principles of \u003cem>stare decisis\u003c/em>,” that is, allowing past rulings to stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is yet another example of corporate interests using their power and influence to launch a political attack on working people and rig the rules of the economy in their own favor,” Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said in a statement when the case reached the high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government workers have been a relative stronghold in an otherwise shrinking labor movement. More than a third of the public sector workforce is unionized, compared with less than 7 percent in the private sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A survey by the AFSCME — the union Janus would have to pay into — found that if agency fees were no longer mandatory, 15 percent of employees would stop paying them while 35 percent would continue to pay.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion with the court’s conservatives joining him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under Illinois law, public employees are forced to subsidize a union, even if they choose not to join and strongly object to the positions the union takes in collective bargaining and related activities,” Alito wrote. “We conclude that this arrangement violates the free speech rights of nonmembers by compelling them to subsidize private speech on matters of substantial public concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision reverses a four-decades-old precedent and upends laws in 22 states. It also comes on the last day of this Supreme Court term, adding an exclamation point on the final sentence of a chapter that began with the appointment of conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch and saw conservative wins in decision after decision. This term was also an affirmation of the risky political gambit played by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who denied a confirmation hearing for Judge Merrick Garland, President Obama’s pick for the court after Justice Antonin Scalia died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The court’s conservative wing found that negotiations by public sector unions are inherently political and nonmembers cannot be compelled to pay for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In addition to affecting how public money is spent, union speech in collective bargaining addresses many other important matters,” Alito wrote. “We have often recognized that such speech ‘occupies the highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values’ and merits ‘special protection.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101865964/what-janus-v-afscme-could-mean-for-public-sector-unions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Janus v.

Rarely if ever has the Court overruled a decision — let alone one of this import — with so little regard for the usual principles of \u003cem>stare decisis\u003c/em>,” that is, allowing past rulings to stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is yet another example of corporate interests using their power and influence to launch a political attack on working people and rig the rules of the economy in their own favor,” Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said in a statement when the case reached the high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government workers have been a relative stronghold in an otherwise shrinking labor movement. More than a third of the public sector workforce is unionized, compared with less than 7 percent in the private sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A survey by the AFSCME — the union Janus would have to pay into — found that if agency fees were no longer mandatory, 15 percent of employees would stop paying them while 35 percent would continue to pay.

That included \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13832886/were-still-here-bbqn-while-black-draws-out-oaklanders-in-force\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a now infamous incident at Oakland's Lake Merritt\u003c/a>, where a white woman called the cops on two black men who were barbecuing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the men, Kenzie Smith, describes as terrifying the moment when he realized police had been called on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In my mind I thought I was going to die,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is how it ends,\" he said to himself, while he watched the woman on the phone with 911 dispatch.

Instead they invite congregants to take turns at the pulpit. Their dialogue about turning away from dependence on law enforcement began several years ago, long before there were national headlines about \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/09/nyregion/yale-black-student-nap.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police being called on a grad student for napping\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/05/04/two-native-american-brothers-were-touring-a-colo-college-when-a-parent-called-police-they-say-it-was-racial-profiling/?utm_term=.d2a51b487c55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Native American teens for attending a college tour\u003c/a>, when white people got nervous or felt they didn't belong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church members were talking about putting up Black Lives Matter signs following \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/michael-brown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri\u003c/a>, and other similar cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church wanted to show solidarity with the movement. But Vanessa Riles spoke up, asking fellow congregants to consider what displaying that sign actually signified.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large\">'\u003cstrong>There are times we are called on to be uncomfortable,\u003c/strong> in the service of being in conversation with our neighbors, and that doesn't mean we're not safe.'\u003c/span>\u003ccite>Nichola Torbett\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"As an intentionally intercultural congregation, and an intentionally interracial congregation,\" she said, \"we can't just put up a sign like that, and not have it mean something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church members began to talk about what it really meant for black lives to matter. For Torbett that meant also trying to understand how white people, like herself, can confuse safety with comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are times we are called on to be uncomfortable, in the service of being in conversation with our neighbors, and that doesn't mean we're not safe,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A giant Black Lives Matter sign now hangs on the front of the church. Inside, in the chapel, lit by stained glass, stands a shrine to victims of police killings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some you may have heard of, such as Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old shot by police in Cleveland in 2014. Or \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/oscar-grant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oscar Grant\u003c/a>, shot in 2009 by a BART police officer in Oakland while restrained and lying on his stomach. The officer later claimed to have mistaken his gun for his taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other faces and stories are less familiar, such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2015/06/08/family-grieves-for-man-shot-and-killed-by-oakland-police/\">Demouria Hogg, \u003c/a>who was asleep in a car in 2015 when Oakland police officers tried to wake him. He was shot after an officer said she saw him reach toward a gun in the front seat. The city of Oakland paid \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-OKs-1-2-million-settlement-in-fatal-9238099.php\">$1.2 million\u003c/a> in compensation to his family, but admitted no wrongdoing in his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riles said that Black Lives Matter is, in large part, about confronting the deaths of black and brown people like these at the hands of police. So if the church was going to hang the signs, Riles asked, what else were they going to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because as a black person, if I see a church with a sign that says Black Lives Matter, the first question in my mind and in my heart is, what does that really mean?\" she asked. \"Are they just putting up a sign because it looks good, and it makes them look good as a congregation?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can we say black lives matter, and be a church that calls the police on people, especially black people, poor disenfranchised black men,\" she said. She told fellow church members that \"if anything, we need to be working towards not calling the police.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/442988/new-study-gives-broader-look-into-how-police-killings-affect-black-americans-mental-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Study Gives Broader Look Into How Police Killings Affect Black Americans’ Mental Health\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Riles was raised in an almost entirely black Oakland neighborhood where police were not welcomed as beacons of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I haven't grown up feeling like the police are my heroes and they're going to rescue me,\" she said. \"I've grown up feeling like the police don't come when you call them, or they don't really do anything, or someone calls them on you and your friends when you didn't do anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So First Congo congregants started to talk about when they had called police, and why. Although they didn't call police often, they realized when they did, it often was on homeless black men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church is an open space, the doors are unlocked and there are community services located inside the building. Homeless people come in, and sometimes they are in the throes of a crisis created by mental illness, substance abuse or some combination of the two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The homeless population in Oakland is \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/02/survey-confirms-oakland-homeless-crisis-growing-worse/\">disproportionately black\u003c/a>. According to a survey from last year, more than 80 percent of Alameda County's homeless — where Oakland is located — were living in homes here, before they were on the streets. Statistically speaking, that means many homeless are living on the streets because of gentrification and the housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large\">'\u003cstrong>Can we really feel like we are doing God's will, or we are following in the footsteps of our movement founder, Jesus, \u003c/strong>who literally risked himself over and over and over again for people who were the most vulnerable if we're calling the police for our own safety and security and risking the lives of actually the most vulnerable?'\u003c/span>\u003ccite>Vanessa Riles\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When someone comes into the church in a crisis, volunteers have felt threatened, and some have turned to police, \"because they feel like their life is at stake, and they feel at risk, and they don't know what else to do,\" Riles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riles and her fellow congregants also know that in similar situations across the country, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/07/04/420019849/paper-finds-one-quarter-of-those-killed-by-police-are-mentally-ill\">police have shot and killed mentally ill\u003c/a> and intoxicated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Can we really feel like we are doing God's will,\" Riles asked, \"or we are following in the footsteps of our movement founder, Jesus, who literally risked himself over and over and over again for people who were the most vulnerable if we're calling the police for our own safety and security and risking the lives of actually the most vulnerable?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barry Donelan, head of the Oakland Police Officers' Association, said he respects the church's decision. He admits that some people are too eager to call police as a first resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most police officers face that on a regular basis, where there's some address they find themselves having to go there on a regular basis, for issues that shouldn't be police matters,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donelan admits that can be frustrating. But, he said, his members are always willing to serve when called, and if the church ever needs them, \"my members are going to be there to serve you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Suicidal impulse or spiritual practice?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The news of the church's decision to divest from police quickly hit \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnRQbpprtkI\">conservative media\u003c/a>. Fox News' Tucker Carlson featured a \u003ca href=\"http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/05/31/oakland-california-church-urges-congregation-never-call-police\">segment on the church\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The church in Oakland,\" Carlson said, \"is encouraging its members not to call police, even when they feel they need the police. If that's not a suicidal impulse, I mean what is it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church lay leader Torbett said the answer is simple. She called the decision a \"spiritual practice,\" based in Christian theology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the things that gets lost in Christianity in this country often is how Jesus was positioned in the society that he lived in,\" Torbett said. \"He was part of an occupied nation, a colonized people. A brown-skinned man, who was surveilled, targeted, harassed, finally arrested, beaten and killed by state forces.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torbett said after the Fox News segment aired, the church received a flood of messages on social media. Some called them anti-police — they are not, Torbett said — but she was most surprised by messages deeply concerned for church members' safety, fearful they were putting themselves in harm's way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/29/615079841/police-are-being-used-to-exclude-black-people-from-public-places\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Police Are Being Used To Exclude Black People From Public Places\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"This sense that people seem to have that outside our doors are hordes are people who mean to do us harm, and are just waiting for us to reduce our reliance on policing, so they can do that,\" Torbett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The assumption that only police can save you, and that the church was just going to stop calling law enforcement and leave their members to fend for themselves, is false.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Really what we are talking about is how do we build up a network of community support, of people who can show up for each other,\" she said. \"Isn't that what churches should be doing?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A path away from policing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The church knows that a path away from policing cannot happen overnight. For one thing, if something is stolen, they need to file a police report to get any insurance money. And they don't plan to leave church volunteers to fend for themselves in a potentially violent interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, what they are hoping to do is create a volunteer force of community and church members trained in conflict resolution who can be on call, if anything happens. They are reaching out to other churches, places of worship and community organizations to ask for volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa Riles said the notion of communities coming together to take care of their own, rather than relying on institutions like police that have a spotty record in their interactions with people of color, is nothing new.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11650235/oaklands-two-black-panthers-the-movie-and-the-movement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland's Two Black Panthers: The Movie and the Movement\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It is as old as Oakland's very own Black Panther Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their full name was the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense,\" Riles said. \"It was about, how do we defend ourselves, who really is the violent offender, and even if it does come to something within the community, then how do we deal with that, without putting more lives at risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torbett said that when people — especially white people — default to calling police when something goes wrong, or when they just feel uncomfortable, it is basically outsourcing crisis management, safety and potential violence to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Which is exactly what the religious leaders said when Jesus was arrested,\" she explained. \"They said, 'We can't kill him, but you can. Our law forbids it — but you can do it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To learn from the lesson of Jesus, Torbett said, the church must strive to take care of their own community, even those just outside their doors. Keeping the church and church members safe, she said, does not have to mean placing others, especially people of color, at risk.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Instead they invite congregants to take turns at the pulpit. Their dialogue about turning away from dependence on law enforcement began several years ago, long before there were national headlines about \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/09/nyregion/yale-black-student-nap.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police being called on a grad student for napping\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/05/04/two-native-american-brothers-were-touring-a-colo-college-when-a-parent-called-police-they-say-it-was-racial-profiling/?utm_term=.d2a51b487c55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Native American teens for attending a college tour\u003c/a>, when white people got nervous or felt they didn't belong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church members were talking about putting up Black Lives Matter signs following \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/michael-brown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri\u003c/a>, and other similar cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church wanted to show solidarity with the movement. But Vanessa Riles spoke up, asking fellow congregants to consider what displaying that sign actually signified.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large\">'\u003cstrong>There are times we are called on to be uncomfortable,\u003c/strong> in the service of being in conversation with our neighbors, and that doesn't mean we're not safe.'\u003c/span>\u003ccite>Nichola Torbett\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"As an intentionally intercultural congregation, and an intentionally interracial congregation,\" she said, \"we can't just put up a sign like that, and not have it mean something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church members began to talk about what it really meant for black lives to matter. For Torbett that meant also trying to understand how white people, like herself, can confuse safety with comfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are times we are called on to be uncomfortable, in the service of being in conversation with our neighbors, and that doesn't mean we're not safe,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A giant Black Lives Matter sign now hangs on the front of the church. Inside, in the chapel, lit by stained glass, stands a shrine to victims of police killings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some you may have heard of, such as Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old shot by police in Cleveland in 2014. Or \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/oscar-grant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oscar Grant\u003c/a>, shot in 2009 by a BART police officer in Oakland while restrained and lying on his stomach. The officer later claimed to have mistaken his gun for his taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other faces and stories are less familiar, such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2015/06/08/family-grieves-for-man-shot-and-killed-by-oakland-police/\">Demouria Hogg, \u003c/a>who was asleep in a car in 2015 when Oakland police officers tried to wake him. He was shot after an officer said she saw him reach toward a gun in the front seat. The city of Oakland paid \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-OKs-1-2-million-settlement-in-fatal-9238099.php\">$1.2 million\u003c/a> in compensation to his family, but admitted no wrongdoing in his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riles said that Black Lives Matter is, in large part, about confronting the deaths of black and brown people like these at the hands of police. So if the church was going to hang the signs, Riles asked, what else were they going to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because as a black person, if I see a church with a sign that says Black Lives Matter, the first question in my mind and in my heart is, what does that really mean?\" she asked. \"Are they just putting up a sign because it looks good, and it makes them look good as a congregation?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can we say black lives matter, and be a church that calls the police on people, especially black people, poor disenfranchised black men,\" she said. She told fellow church members that \"if anything, we need to be working towards not calling the police.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/442988/new-study-gives-broader-look-into-how-police-killings-affect-black-americans-mental-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Study Gives Broader Look Into How Police Killings Affect Black Americans’ Mental Health\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Riles was raised in an almost entirely black Oakland neighborhood where police were not welcomed as beacons of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I haven't grown up feeling like the police are my heroes and they're going to rescue me,\" she said. \"I've grown up feeling like the police don't come when you call them, or they don't really do anything, or someone calls them on you and your friends when you didn't do anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So First Congo congregants started to talk about when they had called police, and why. Although they didn't call police often, they realized when they did, it often was on homeless black men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church is an open space, the doors are unlocked and there are community services located inside the building. Homeless people come in, and sometimes they are in the throes of a crisis created by mental illness, substance abuse or some combination of the two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The homeless population in Oakland is \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/02/survey-confirms-oakland-homeless-crisis-growing-worse/\">disproportionately black\u003c/a>. According to a survey from last year, more than 80 percent of Alameda County's homeless — where Oakland is located — were living in homes here, before they were on the streets. Statistically speaking, that means many homeless are living on the streets because of gentrification and the housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large\">'\u003cstrong>Can we really feel like we are doing God's will, or we are following in the footsteps of our movement founder, Jesus, \u003c/strong>who literally risked himself over and over and over again for people who were the most vulnerable if we're calling the police for our own safety and security and risking the lives of actually the most vulnerable?'\u003c/span>\u003ccite>Vanessa Riles\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When someone comes into the church in a crisis, volunteers have felt threatened, and some have turned to police, \"because they feel like their life is at stake, and they feel at risk, and they don't know what else to do,\" Riles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riles and her fellow congregants also know that in similar situations across the country, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/07/04/420019849/paper-finds-one-quarter-of-those-killed-by-police-are-mentally-ill\">police have shot and killed mentally ill\u003c/a> and intoxicated people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Can we really feel like we are doing God's will,\" Riles asked, \"or we are following in the footsteps of our movement founder, Jesus, who literally risked himself over and over and over again for people who were the most vulnerable if we're calling the police for our own safety and security and risking the lives of actually the most vulnerable?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barry Donelan, head of the Oakland Police Officers' Association, said he respects the church's decision. He admits that some people are too eager to call police as a first resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most police officers face that on a regular basis, where there's some address they find themselves having to go there on a regular basis, for issues that shouldn't be police matters,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donelan admits that can be frustrating. But, he said, his members are always willing to serve when called, and if the church ever needs them, \"my members are going to be there to serve you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Suicidal impulse or spiritual practice?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The news of the church's decision to divest from police quickly hit \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnRQbpprtkI\">conservative media\u003c/a>. Fox News' Tucker Carlson featured a \u003ca href=\"http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/05/31/oakland-california-church-urges-congregation-never-call-police\">segment on the church\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The church in Oakland,\" Carlson said, \"is encouraging its members not to call police, even when they feel they need the police. If that's not a suicidal impulse, I mean what is it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Church lay leader Torbett said the answer is simple. She called the decision a \"spiritual practice,\" based in Christian theology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the things that gets lost in Christianity in this country often is how Jesus was positioned in the society that he lived in,\" Torbett said. \"He was part of an occupied nation, a colonized people. A brown-skinned man, who was surveilled, targeted, harassed, finally arrested, beaten and killed by state forces.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torbett said after the Fox News segment aired, the church received a flood of messages on social media. Some called them anti-police — they are not, Torbett said — but she was most surprised by messages deeply concerned for church members' safety, fearful they were putting themselves in harm's way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/29/615079841/police-are-being-used-to-exclude-black-people-from-public-places\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Police Are Being Used To Exclude Black People From Public Places\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"This sense that people seem to have that outside our doors are hordes are people who mean to do us harm, and are just waiting for us to reduce our reliance on policing, so they can do that,\" Torbett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The assumption that only police can save you, and that the church was just going to stop calling law enforcement and leave their members to fend for themselves, is false.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Really what we are talking about is how do we build up a network of community support, of people who can show up for each other,\" she said. \"Isn't that what churches should be doing?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A path away from policing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The church knows that a path away from policing cannot happen overnight. For one thing, if something is stolen, they need to file a police report to get any insurance money. And they don't plan to leave church volunteers to fend for themselves in a potentially violent interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, what they are hoping to do is create a volunteer force of community and church members trained in conflict resolution who can be on call, if anything happens. They are reaching out to other churches, places of worship and community organizations to ask for volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa Riles said the notion of communities coming together to take care of their own, rather than relying on institutions like police that have a spotty record in their interactions with people of color, is nothing new.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11650235/oaklands-two-black-panthers-the-movie-and-the-movement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland's Two Black Panthers: The Movie and the Movement\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It is as old as Oakland's very own Black Panther Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their full name was the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense,\" Riles said. \"It was about, how do we defend ourselves, who really is the violent offender, and even if it does come to something within the community, then how do we deal with that, without putting more lives at risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torbett said that when people — especially white people — default to calling police when something goes wrong, or when they just feel uncomfortable, it is basically outsourcing crisis management, safety and potential violence to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Which is exactly what the religious leaders said when Jesus was arrested,\" she explained. \"They said, 'We can't kill him, but you can. Our law forbids it — but you can do it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
