"content": "\u003cp>Three months after becoming San Francisco’s district attorney in 2004, Kamala Harris faced a trial by fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her first run for office in 2003, Harris knocked off Terence Hallinan, San Francisco’s progressive district attorney, by running slightly to his right, promising to manage a more professional office that would be tougher on violent crime, domestic violence and sex trafficking, and stand up for those who had felt ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had also promised never to charge the death penalty — a pledge that was put to the test just four months into her term when a 29-year-old police officer named Isaac Espinoza was shot and killed by a gang member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris ultimately kept her promise, announcing before Espinoza’s funeral that her office would \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/SAN-FRANCISCO-D-A-won-t-pursue-death-in-cop-2767716.php\">seek life without the possibility of parole\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jim Stearns, Kamala Harris' first campaign manager\"]‘Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Harris said she believed that the majority of San Franciscans wanted to see “the most severe crimes be met with the most severe consequences,” and that in this liberal city, life without parole would likely be the most severe consequence a jury would hand down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But former police officers union President Gary Delagnes says the timing of Harris’ announcement \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/S-F-police-push-hard-for-death-penalty-D-A-s-2765721.php\">alienated many officers in the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By having a press conference before the kid was even in the ground to announce that she was not seeking the death penalty, I mean, it was such a cold political move that I mean, it just showed a complete lack of compassion,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the timing of her announcement poisoned the young prosecutor’s relationship with the police union, even Delagnes acknowledged she made the right call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously no San Francisco jury was going to convict a 19-year-old African American man — they’re not going to give the death penalty to somebody in that situation and I said that from the beginning,” Delagnes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ office did get the conviction and sent Espinoza’s killer to prison for life, without the chance for parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Breaking Boundaries\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Throughout her time in politics, California Sen. Kamala Harris has found herself caught between two very different groups, both of whom see themselves in her: law enforcement officials and progressive activists pushing for a more racially just legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris is\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11834151/senator-kamala-harris-takes-her-place-in-history-as-vp-nominee\"> now the Democratic nominee for vice president\u003c/a>, and in recent years has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.harris.senate.gov/news/press-releases/harris-on-police-reform-this-movement-will-not-be-deterred\">outspoken about the need for systemic change to policing and criminal justice\u003c/a> in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before that, and before she was the second Black and first South Asian woman to serve in the U.S. Senate, Harris was a prosecutor: district attorney of San Francisco, then attorney general of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debbie Mesloh, one of Harris’ longtime advisers, said Harris was from the start considered an outsider by many in the world of law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I recall many situations where people who had been in leadership within the DA’s office or within the police department seemed to struggle with her leadership,” Mesloh recalled. “That first meeting with the District Attorney’s Association of California, she was the only woman to walk in that room. She was one of, I think, three people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"kamala-harris\"]Mesloh said Harris has had to absorb throughout her career “subtle and not so subtle messages that were sent to her of, you know, ‘Who do you think you are? You need to know your place. You know, you may have won an election, but there’s only one of you. We outnumber you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh said Harris never let those messages intimidate her.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Wanting a Seat at the Table\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Suzy Loftus, who worked under Harris as both a deputy district attorney and assistant attorney general, said the conviction was important to Harris — and consistent with her principles. And, she said, Harris learned from the Espinoza case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She made the decision quickly, announced it quickly and recognized later that there were so many people who were so deeply impacted in that moment and in grief and in pain. And that loss was exacerbated by an announcement in the middle of it. So I think she endeavored to learn from her mistakes,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Loftus insists, it didn’t make Harris a different or more cautious politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think by function of being a prosecutor, you’re more careful,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Stearns, who ran Harris’ first campaign, added that while the Espinoza decision soured some in law enforcement on Harris at the time, it also won over many voters, making her something of a political star in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what galvanized the city for her was this was the first time people could remember that a politician made a difficult promise, like, ‘I will never enforce the death penalty,’ and actually did it under the most incredible pressure,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stearns said there’s been a tension throughout Harris’ career: between what’s expected of her as a member of law enforcement and what’s been asked of her by progressive activists who see her as an ally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table,” Stearns said. “So it would be a mistake to see Kamala or to expect from Kamala that she is ever going to stand outside of the system and demand the kind of wholesale changes that people who stand out of the system want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tension would play out most dramatically when Harris took on her next job, as attorney general of the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Someone Who’s Been So Vilified’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2010, Harris won the narrowest of victories to become California’s first female and first Black attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a tough race. Law enforcement unions had overwhelmingly backed Harris’ opponent, Los Angeles’ Republican district attorney, Steve Cooley, who used those endorsements to paint Harris as anti-police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build relationships with local prosecutors, sheriffs and police, the first thing Harris did as attorney general was visit all 58 California counties. Loftus, her longtime deputy, planned the tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was incredibly effective because I think there’s nothing like actually getting to talk to someone — especially who’s been so vilified,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"LaDoris Cordell, former San Jose independent police auditor\"]‘There’s this fine line. You’re the top cop, but you’re also a prosecutor, which is representing the people. And oftentimes those two things are not compatible.’[/pullquote]Four years later, when Harris ran for reelection, police groups largely supported her. But she soon found herself at odds with another key constituency: progressive Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deadly police shootings were in the news, and Democrats in the California state Legislature were pushing a bill to require independent investigations of deadly use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty authored a 2015 bill to require the attorney general to take police shooting investigations away from local district attorneys, who he said have an inherent conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, if you’re at a high school baseball game looking out there and seeing the umpire is the uncle of one of the star players, are you going to trust that umpire to call balls and strikes fairly? The answer is ‘No,’ ” McCarty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Kamala-Harris-sees-safeguards-in-D-A-s-5972586.php\">opposed the bill\u003c/a> and it died. She also declined to support another bill requiring police officers to wear body cameras, even though she was the first to mandate that officers at the state Department of Justice wear them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, her opposition to statewide legislation \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-ca-harris-police-shootings-20160118-story.html\">didn’t sit well with the Black Caucus in the Legislature\u003c/a>, who saw her as standing on the wrong side of the fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Holly Mitchell, a Los Angeles Democrat and member of the Black Caucus, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-ca-harris-police-shootings-20160118-story.html\">told the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a> in 2016 that Harris’ “absence is noticeable,” adding that “people are looking to her for guidance and direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Now a Lawmaker, Not a Law Enforcer’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s not surprising for an attorney general to face such pressure — especially one who is a Black woman — said LaDoris Cordell, who was an independent police auditor in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this fine line. You’re the top cop, but you’re also a prosecutor, which is representing the people. And oftentimes those two things are not compatible,” Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigations of police shootings are in some ways a no-win situation, Cordell contends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The feeling is that people are passing around this hot potato. When these shootings happen, they’re very controversial. The public is very aware. There are protests and it’s sort of like, you know, people just don’t really want to handle them,” Cordell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said her opposition to the bill wasn’t based on fear of catching a hot potato, but rather concern about interfering with local prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She knew firsthand how that felt: In 2004, some San Francisco officials pushed the then-state attorney general to take the Espinoza murder case away from her office, after she declined to seek the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loftus, Harris’ longtime deputy, said that experience cut deeply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she fundamentally always believed it’s a local prosecutor’s job to do the right thing and not to punt,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that she’s in the Senate and on the presidential campaign trail, Harris has been outspoken on policing issues, introducing legislation to ban chokeholds, racial profiling and no-knock warrants, as well as to make lynching a federal crime. In her speech accepting the Democratic nomination, she called out systemic racism in America, naming two recent victims of police violence: George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh, Harris’ longtime adviser, said she’s taking those positions now not because she has changed her mind, but because she’s now a lawmaker, not a law enforcer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having worked with her for so long, these were conversations we would always have,” Mesloh said. “She may have not been having them externally, but this is the Kamala that I have known and seen for 20 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh says that because of who Harris is — a Black, South Asian woman, and the daughter of civil rights activists — she has often been expected to align herself with liberals pushing for change from the outside. But for most of her career, she’s been a prosecutor, working to change the system from the inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

You need to know your place. You know, you may have won an election, but there’s only one of you. We outnumber you.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mesloh said Harris never let those messages intimidate her.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Wanting a Seat at the Table\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Suzy Loftus, who worked under Harris as both a deputy district attorney and assistant attorney general, said the conviction was important to Harris — and consistent with her principles. And, she said, Harris learned from the Espinoza case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She made the decision quickly, announced it quickly and recognized later that there were so many people who were so deeply impacted in that moment and in grief and in pain. And that loss was exacerbated by an announcement in the middle of it. So I think she endeavored to learn from her mistakes,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Loftus insists, it didn’t make Harris a different or more cautious politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think by function of being a prosecutor, you’re more careful,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Stearns, who ran Harris’ first campaign, added that while the Espinoza decision soured some in law enforcement on Harris at the time, it also won over many voters, making her something of a political star in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what galvanized the city for her was this was the first time people could remember that a politician made a difficult promise, like, ‘I will never enforce the death penalty,’ and actually did it under the most incredible pressure,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stearns said there’s been a tension throughout Harris’ career: between what’s expected of her as a member of law enforcement and what’s been asked of her by progressive activists who see her as an ally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala has always wanted to have a seat at the table,” Stearns said. “So it would be a mistake to see Kamala or to expect from Kamala that she is ever going to stand outside of the system and demand the kind of wholesale changes that people who stand out of the system want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tension would play out most dramatically when Harris took on her next job, as attorney general of the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Someone Who’s Been So Vilified’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2010, Harris won the narrowest of victories to become California’s first female and first Black attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a tough race. Law enforcement unions had overwhelmingly backed Harris’ opponent, Los Angeles’ Republican district attorney, Steve Cooley, who used those endorsements to paint Harris as anti-police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build relationships with local prosecutors, sheriffs and police, the first thing Harris did as attorney general was visit all 58 California counties. Loftus, her longtime deputy, planned the tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was incredibly effective because I think there’s nothing like actually getting to talk to someone — especially who’s been so vilified,” Loftus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A nonprofit group, the WeChat Users Alliance, filed a suit against the Trump administration Friday to halt his ban, calling it a violation of constitutional rights and claiming it targets an oft-marginalized group, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/technology/513262-wechat-users-sue-to-block-trump-ban-on-chinese-app\">according to The Hill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certainly, WeChat has drawn critique from even its own community, having censored messages in China — including reportedly suppressing political speech and blocking keywords surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Chinese Progressive Association, grassroots organizers and politicians agree that in San Francisco, a ban on WeChat would hamper a major communication tool within the monolingual Chinese community, particularly in one of the city’s most cherished neighborhoods: Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Pillar of the Community\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Chinese community reads, watches and listens to the news in their own language and dialects: newspapers like Sing Tao Daily and the World Journal, or broadcast entities like Sing Tao Chinese Radio and TV station KTSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Chinatown is often a key first stop for recent Chinese immigrants who may not know English, those media outlets are depended on to inform a community who don’t have access to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Examiner or even KQED, for that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chinese media, I think not just in San Francisco, but in the Bay Area, I think plays a crucial role in how the monolingual immigrant community gets their information,” said Malcolm Yeung, executive director of the nonprofit Chinatown Community Development Center. “For as long as I’ve worked in the community, Chinese media in some form or another has been the primary source of information for folks in the Chinese monolingual community in particular.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11835496\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11835496\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-1020x1813.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-160x284.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chinese Progressive Association’s staff uses WeChat’s voice memo function to directly message a Single Room Occupancy resident, Ah Ying, to bring their family to the Veritas rent passthrough march.

Chan said her campaign often sends notifications about the city and state’s eviction moratoriums to voters on WeChat. “That’s been critical to a lot of new immigrants who are actually still fluent in Chinese,” no matter how long they’ve been here, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mason Lee, a Chinese community liaison from San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s office, said more members of the Chinese community reach out to Breed on WeChat than by phone or email.

A nonprofit group, the WeChat Users Alliance, filed a suit against the Trump administration Friday to halt his ban, calling it a violation of constitutional rights and claiming it targets an oft-marginalized group, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/technology/513262-wechat-users-sue-to-block-trump-ban-on-chinese-app\">according to The Hill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certainly, WeChat has drawn critique from even its own community, having censored messages in China — including reportedly suppressing political speech and blocking keywords surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Chinese Progressive Association, grassroots organizers and politicians agree that in San Francisco, a ban on WeChat would hamper a major communication tool within the monolingual Chinese community, particularly in one of the city’s most cherished neighborhoods: Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Pillar of the Community\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Chinese community reads, watches and listens to the news in their own language and dialects: newspapers like Sing Tao Daily and the World Journal, or broadcast entities like Sing Tao Chinese Radio and TV station KTSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Chinatown is often a key first stop for recent Chinese immigrants who may not know English, those media outlets are depended on to inform a community who don’t have access to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Examiner or even KQED, for that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chinese media, I think not just in San Francisco, but in the Bay Area, I think plays a crucial role in how the monolingual immigrant community gets their information,” said Malcolm Yeung, executive director of the nonprofit Chinatown Community Development Center. “For as long as I’ve worked in the community, Chinese media in some form or another has been the primary source of information for folks in the Chinese monolingual community in particular.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11835496\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11835496\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-800x1422.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-1020x1813.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-160x284.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/WeChatVeritas1-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chinese Progressive Association’s staff uses WeChat’s voice memo function to directly message a Single Room Occupancy resident, Ah Ying, to bring their family to the Veritas rent passthrough march.

"content": "\u003cp>Senator Kamala Harris made history Wednesday night, becoming the first woman of color to accept the Democratic nomination for vice president in a speech where she passionately articulated the lessons she learned from her own mother, and what this election will mean for generations to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this election, we have a chance to change the course of history. We’re all in this fight,” said Harris, an Oakland native who is both the first Black woman and Asian American to appear on a major party ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Years from now, this moment will have passed. And our children and our grandchildren will look in our eyes and ask us: ‘Where were you when the stakes were so high? They will ask us, what was it like?’ And we will tell them. We will tell them, not just how we felt. We will tell them what we did,” Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1296287361186308097\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris faced a tough challenge: Her speech came after a forceful, scathing and unprecedented indictment of President Donald Trump by his predecessor, former President Barack Obama. And, Harris was speaking from a largely empty hall, set up to look like a regular convention arena but attended by just a handful of reporters after the Democratic Party scrapped its original convention plans in favor of a COVID-19 safe virtual gathering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Harris, the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, spoke emotionally about the women whose “shoulders she stands on” — including the suffragists who succeeded 100 years ago this week in securing women’s right to vote. But her strongest moments came when she talked about her own mother — Shyamala Gopalan, and what she taught Harris and her sister, Maya, about family, community and “the values that would chart the course of our lives.” [aside postID=\"news_11833616\" label=\"More Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even as she taught us to keep our family at the center of our world, she also pushed us to see a world beyond ourselves,” Harris said. “She taught us to be conscious and compassionate about the struggles of all people. To believe public service is a noble cause and the fight for justice is a shared responsibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said those lessons led her to her career path: as a lawyer, a district attorney, an attorney general and a U.S. Senator. While she didn’t attack Trump as forcefully as she has at times, Harris was blunt when assessing his record, at one point leaving this line hanging: “I know a predator when I see one.”Donald Trump’s failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods,” she said later. “We’re at an inflection point. The constant chaos leaves us adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. It’s a lot. And here’s the thing: We can do better and deserve so much more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris spoke from Delaware, the home state of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, on the third night of this year’s virtual Democratic National Convention. Her remarks capped an evening that also included remarks from Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Harris’ keynote, Democrats highlighted a number of key issues — climate change, gun violence, immigration and domestic violence — featuring activists from around the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In speeches by female leaders, including Pelosi and Clinton, Harris’ record was repeatedly invoked as counterpoint to Trump’s. [aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need leaders equal to this moment of sacrifice and service — we need Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Clinton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton’s speech nodded to both Harris’ history as a prosecutor and her mixed race family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tonight I am thinking of the girls and boys who see themselves in America’s future because of Kamala Harris—a Black woman, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, and our nominee for Vice President of the United States,” Clinton said. “This is our country’s story: breaking down barriers and expanding the circle of possibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She implored young people not to “give up on America,” saying Biden picked the right partner in Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala is relentless in the pursuit of justice, and uncommonly kind.
