Liquid hydrocarbon spewed from a leaky pipe in the crude unit and ignited, sending smoke plumes into the air that could be seen across the Bay. Nearby residents struggled to breathe and reported headaches, chest pains and itchy eyes. More than 15,000 people sought medical help. For Luna Angulo, then in middle school, it was an awakening. “As someone who is 12 and you see the sky suddenly turn black, you’re like — the city is on fire,” Angulo, now 25, said. “What is this about? What is going on?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron later \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2017/2017-62.pdf\">agreed\u003c/a> to upgrade the refinery, which was first established in 1902, and pay more than $1 million in fines. The company also \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11665999/chevron-richmond-move-to-settle-lawsuit-over-2012-refinery-fire-that-sickened-thousands\">settled a lawsuit\u003c/a> with the city of Richmond for $5 million. For Angulo, the flames revealed the human cost of living in the shadow of California’s third-largest refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2012 Chevron fire was a key flashpoint in the years-long effort to empower frontline communities like Richmond to fight for cleaner air. That work culminated in the Path to Clean Air — a hyperlocal pollution-reduction roadmap that places decision-making in the hands of residents, not regulators. With such lofty goals, the Path to Clean Air could be a community-powered blueprint that dramatically reshapes Richmond’s local economy and the health of its residents. Or it could collect dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next decade, Angulo became deeply involved in local activism, often pressing state and regional agencies to adopt tougher regulations on Chevron. Then, in 2021, she heard about an opportunity to claim a seat at the table. Four years earlier, Gov. Jerry Brown had signed Assembly Bill 617, aimed at improving air quality in California’s most polluted communities. Crucially, the law created local steering committees — made up of residents, not experts — with the power to craft plans to measure and reduce air pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many local activists saw AB 617 as a breakthrough for community power-building. But statewide environmental justice organizations viewed it as a half-measure, meant to win support from progressive Democrats for Brown’s true priority: extending California’s landmark environmental program known as cap-and-trade. Cap-and-trade sets a declining limit on greenhouse gas emissions from industries such as refineries, power plants and factories. But it does not require reductions at specific sites, such as Chevron’s Richmond refinery, and it only regulates climate-warming greenhouse gases, not local air pollutants like particulate matter. Now, Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislators are weighing another renewal of cap-and-trade, which could change the way AB 617 is funded. Environmental justice advocates view the negotiations as a chance to strengthen the program and deliver on the promise of clean air in California’s most polluted neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/08/trump-ucla-research-grants/\">\u003cstrong>Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration To Restore Hundreds Of UCLA Research Grants\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore a portion of the 800 federal science research grants that it suspended at UCLA last month, delivering a major setback to efforts to force the university into a $1 billion settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California district court judge Rita F. Lin \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/9e9d118f-51fb-4e98-a9c0-fa060ea131ad.pdf\">ruled Tuesday\u003c/a> that the suspensions violated her June preliminary injunction in which she ordered the National Science Foundation to restore 114 grants it had terminated at the University of California and blocked the agency from cancelling other grants at the UC system. Her June order came after lawyers for University of California researchers argued the science foundation grant terminations were arbitrary and capricious and in violation of federal law. Those grants and others \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/06/health-research-california/#:~:text=UC%20researchers%20may%20get%20science%2C%20environmental%20grants%20back\">were terminated\u003c/a> over alleged Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion violations following several Trump executive orders in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin’s order to restore the suspended grants came in response to a\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/08/research-grants-california/\"> court filing lawyers for the UC researchers submitted\u003c/a> after 300 National Science Foundation Grants and 500 National Institutes of Health grants at UCLA were \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/07/ucla/\">suspended\u003c/a>. The suspensions \u003ca href=\"https://chancellor.ucla.edu/messages/update-on-protecting-our-research-mission\">froze $584 million\u003c/a>. The lawyers aren’t acting on behalf of the UC system, though some are employed at the UC. It is not yet clear if all 300 suspended National Science Foundation grants are to be restored under Lin’s latest order. A lawyer for the researchers, Claudia Polsky, said all 300 should be restored.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/08/california-governors-race-toni-atkins/\">\u003cstrong>This Candidate For California Governor Has A Potential Conflict Of Interest In Her Own Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If former state Senate leader Toni Atkins is elected governor next year, she would oversee a state contract that puts money in her own pocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following a directive from Gov. Gavin Newsom to develop state-owned properties for affordable housing, the California Department of General Services in 2020 hired a consulting firm to help prioritize sites, conduct market research and evaluate applications from contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That firm, LeSar Development Consultants, is owned by Atkins’ spouse, Jennifer LeSar. And because of California’s community property law that gives couples equal ownership of assets in their marriage, the $1 million contract — which was reupped in February through 2028 — has been worth tens of thousands of dollars to Atkins, according to financial disclosures. It’s just one of the potential conflicts of interest with her spouse’s business dealings that Atkins faces as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/01/california-election-2026-governor/\">she seeks the most powerful office in California\u003c/a>. Nearly half of the major clients last year at LeSar’s companies employed lobbyists to influence government policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atkins declined an interview request from CalMatters to discuss how she would handle conflicts of interest as governor. She did not say she would take any specific steps to insulate herself from LeSar’s business dealings or make any changes to their current arrangement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArtP-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.ijpr.org/health-and-medicine/2025-08-07/redding-fire-fees-service\">\u003cstrong>A Call To Redding Fire May Now Cost You\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Redding Fire Department has begun charging a $489 fee for lift assists, non-emergency calls for when someone has fallen but doesn’t need to go to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire officials said the department receives about 1,200 such calls each year. Sometimes people even call when they need help getting to the restroom, Deputy Chief Jay Sumerlin said. “Calls are becoming so frequent that when we have a true emergency — let’s say a shooting, a stabbing or let’s say a baby not breathing — I may not have a fire engine in place anymore,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Redding City Council approved the fee in 2023 to \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.ijpr.org/politics-government/2024-03-05/yreka-seeks-funding-support-for-ailing-volunteer-fire-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">offset costs\u003c/a> and dissuade unnecessary calls.

Liquid hydrocarbon spewed from a leaky pipe in the crude unit and ignited, sending smoke plumes into the air that could be seen across the Bay. Nearby residents struggled to breathe and reported headaches, chest pains and itchy eyes. More than 15,000 people sought medical help. For Luna Angulo, then in middle school, it was an awakening. “As someone who is 12 and you see the sky suddenly turn black, you’re like — the city is on fire,” Angulo, now 25, said. “What is this about? What is going on?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chevron later \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2017/2017-62.pdf\">agreed\u003c/a> to upgrade the refinery, which was first established in 1902, and pay more than $1 million in fines. The company also \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11665999/chevron-richmond-move-to-settle-lawsuit-over-2012-refinery-fire-that-sickened-thousands\">settled a lawsuit\u003c/a> with the city of Richmond for $5 million. For Angulo, the flames revealed the human cost of living in the shadow of California’s third-largest refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2012 Chevron fire was a key flashpoint in the years-long effort to empower frontline communities like Richmond to fight for cleaner air. That work culminated in the Path to Clean Air — a hyperlocal pollution-reduction roadmap that places decision-making in the hands of residents, not regulators. With such lofty goals, the Path to Clean Air could be a community-powered blueprint that dramatically reshapes Richmond’s local economy and the health of its residents. Or it could collect dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next decade, Angulo became deeply involved in local activism, often pressing state and regional agencies to adopt tougher regulations on Chevron. Then, in 2021, she heard about an opportunity to claim a seat at the table. Four years earlier, Gov. Jerry Brown had signed Assembly Bill 617, aimed at improving air quality in California’s most polluted communities. Crucially, the law created local steering committees — made up of residents, not experts — with the power to craft plans to measure and reduce air pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But statewide environmental justice organizations viewed it as a half-measure, meant to win support from progressive Democrats for Brown’s true priority: extending California’s landmark environmental program known as cap-and-trade. Cap-and-trade sets a declining limit on greenhouse gas emissions from industries such as refineries, power plants and factories. But it does not require reductions at specific sites, such as Chevron’s Richmond refinery, and it only regulates climate-warming greenhouse gases, not local air pollutants like particulate matter. Now, Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislators are weighing another renewal of cap-and-trade, which could change the way AB 617 is funded. Environmental justice advocates view the negotiations as a chance to strengthen the program and deliver on the promise of clean air in California’s most polluted neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/08/trump-ucla-research-grants/\">\u003cstrong>Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration To Restore Hundreds Of UCLA Research Grants\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore a portion of the 800 federal science research grants that it suspended at UCLA last month, delivering a major setback to efforts to force the university into a $1 billion settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California district court judge Rita F.

Her June order came after lawyers for University of California researchers argued the science foundation grant terminations were arbitrary and capricious and in violation of federal law. Those grants and others \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/06/health-research-california/#:~:text=UC%20researchers%20may%20get%20science%2C%20environmental%20grants%20back\">were terminated\u003c/a> over alleged Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion violations following several Trump executive orders in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin’s order to restore the suspended grants came in response to a\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/08/research-grants-california/\"> court filing lawyers for the UC researchers submitted\u003c/a> after 300 National Science Foundation Grants and 500 National Institutes of Health grants at UCLA were \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/07/ucla/\">suspended\u003c/a>.

And because of California’s community property law that gives couples equal ownership of assets in their marriage, the $1 million contract — which was reupped in February through 2028 — has been worth tens of thousands of dollars to Atkins, according to financial disclosures. It’s just one of the potential conflicts of interest with her spouse’s business dealings that Atkins faces as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/01/california-election-2026-governor/\">she seeks the most powerful office in California\u003c/a>.

I think that we need some trauma-informed, restorative approaches to support people who are struggling with PTSD, struggling with abandonment issues, trust issues, child neglect.

Families donate what they can – up to $5 monthly, and the rest is covered by Medicaid, called Medi-Cal in California, which provides health insurance to millions of low-income people. Raíces y Cariño founder Nora Yerena is worried the cuts to Medi-Cal could mean they struggle to provide services for families like Cordelia’s. “It is a very serious risk that I’m aware of and fear that if we can’t have sustained funding for what we’re doing, it won’t exist,” Yerena said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>H.R.1\u003c/u>\u003c/a>\u003cu>,\u003c/u> signed by President Donald Trump in July, slash federal Medicaid funding by about $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

She said it seems like conditions should be improving but they “are deteriorating.” McCroskey said some children are being held for longer because Trump as part of his crackdown ended the Biden administration’s policy that allowed expedited releases of immigrants. McCroskey also pointed to logistical challenges that resulted from the closure of temporary facilities that were set up under President Joe Biden to handle an influx of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, CBP held 46 children over a week, including six children held for over two weeks and four children held 19 days, according to data revealed in a court filing.

She said it seems like conditions should be improving but they “are deteriorating.” McCroskey said some children are being held for longer because Trump as part of his crackdown ended the Biden administration’s policy that allowed expedited releases of immigrants. McCroskey also pointed to logistical challenges that resulted from the closure of temporary facilities that were set up under President Joe Biden to handle an influx of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, CBP held 46 children over a week, including six children held for over two weeks and four children held 19 days, according to data revealed in a court filing.

John Sauer argued in the filing with the high court that Frimpong’s order puts a “straitjacket” on agents and “threatens to upend immigration officials’ ability to enforce the immigration laws … by hanging the prospect of contempt over every investigative stop of suspected illegal aliens.” Frimpong ruled federal immigration authorities could not rely on four factors for reasonable suspicion: race, ethnicity, language, and location or employment; either solely or in combination.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/border-immigration/2025/08/07/san-diego-roman-catholic-diocese-launches-ministry-to-support-refugees-in-court\">\u003cstrong>San Diego Roman Catholic Diocese Launches Ministry To Support Refugees In Court\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego has launched a new interfaith ministry to accompany refugees and asylum seekers at immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
