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.",

And so far, it’s been great.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These girls are excited to be some of the first involved,” he said, adding that one of them could be the first Eagle Scout — Scouting’s highest honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That excitement was palpable on graduation day at Baker Elementary School in May, when the girls — like the boys — got their faces painted, received new badges and swapped out their neckerchiefs to show that they’d graduated to the next level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11680277\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11680277 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_1-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some fun at Baker Elementary School in San Jose with Paige Elorreaga testing out a pogo stick before the graduation festivities began.

Webb, however, said that system wasn’t practical for Pack 317. “I took the initiative to say, ‘Hey, we’re going to fully integrate,’ which is a little outside of the BSA guidelines,” he said. “It’s been fine.” \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11680281\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11680281 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_4-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justin Webb prepares the neckerchiefs for the graduates. Scouts enter the tent with the neckerchiefs of their current rank and exit with next year’s rank on their uniforms to signify advancement to the next level. Part of Pack 317’s signing up to be a part of the pilot program is they had to give the girls the opportunity to do their rank advancement, which normally occurs over the period of a school year. With the first girls joining in January, the pack had to condense the advancement program into a few months, Webb said. “We made sure that the den leaders (dens make up a pack) — the parents that are putting on the program — were willing to go through some of the material a second time to make sure that the girls had a chance to finish. And they did great. They actually got through the stuff really quickly.” \u003cem>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/em>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11680282\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11680282 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/cs_5-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paige, 9, said her brother, Logan, inspired her to join Cub Scouts.

Part of Pack 317’s signing up to be a part of the pilot program is they had to give the girls the opportunity to do their rank advancement, which normally occurs over the period of a school year. With the first girls joining in January, the pack had to condense the advancement program into a few months, Webb said. “We made sure that the den leaders (dens make up a pack) — the parents that are putting on the program — were willing to go through some of the material a second time to make sure that the girls had a chance to finish.

His latest, \u003ca href=\"https://africasacountry.com/2018/06/soul-brother-krishna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Conjugating Hindi”\u003c/a>, set in part in California and Oakland, was published this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writer Tommy Orange has also just published a book, his first novel, “There There.” It’s been heaped with praise by reviewers and has been on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/31/books/tommy-orange-there-there-native-american.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times\u003c/a> Best Sellers list for the past month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AAKnopf/status/1007274371923234816\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange said he set out to write an Oakland novel, a novel that contained the city he grew up in, which is why he picked the Stein quote. “’There, there’ has been used to say it doesn’t have culture. Or it doesn’t have place, or it doesn’t have a feel to it,” Orange said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very convenient quote if you’re gentrifying some place, to be like ‘there’s no place there anyway,’ or ‘nobodys from Oakland’,” Orange said. “All the new people here, all the new white people gentrifying, it’s very convenient to have that feeling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That feeling, Orange said, is just wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, Oakland artists are pushing back against the narrative of an invisible city, for all the world to see. They are portraying the place and the people from here with spectacular and sweeping visions, from a film that uses satirical science fiction to take on capitalism, racism and gentrification, to a story spanning the intertwining lives of urban Native Americans and their deep history in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sorry To Bother You\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boots Riley, musician with The Coup, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/22/magazine/how-boots-riley-infiltrated-hollywood.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">activist, local intellectual and man-about-The-Town\u003c/a>, filmed his movie “Sorry To Bother You” over 28 days last summer in Oakland. Now, after getting attention on the festival circuit, it’s opening nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeISaoQDh2g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley said growing up in Oakland, he would endlessly \u003ca href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/07/sorry-to-bother-you-boots-riley-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ride the bus back and forth through the flatlands of the city\u003c/a>. From San Leandro, through East Oakland, all the way down Telegraph Avenue and into Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Oakland that I grew up in was one in which we were constantly wanting to be engaged with something bigger than us,” Riley said. “We felt like there was nothing to do, we felt like there weren’t things available to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, when they got older, they would drive in cars, “we didn’t get on the freeway because that trip was what it was all about, looking for signs of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On those long car rides, they would pass boarded up buildings, neighborhoods abandoned by infrastructure, places and people in which the city did not invest. They would also find others like them, say hello while stopped at red lights, whole streams of young people driving in cars, looking for life and each other. It sounds like a scene out of “American Graffiti,” or any of our childhoods, before social media. But Riley said because these were black teenagers, Oakland passed anti-cruising laws, making what for so many was a rite of passage into an illegal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t stop culture and creativity from creeping up through cracks in the concrete. The young people of Oakland made music, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668394/spinning-rims-spinning-cars-the-history-of-the-oakland-sideshow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">staged sideshows\u003c/a>, invented \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRRnAhmB58\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turfing\u003c/a>, a specific style of street dancing known for its fluid and hypnotic movements, and created a new genre of hip-hop that came to be called hyphy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley said the city and local businesses continually put up bars to access and inclusion. Even when they had the artists and wanted to set up shows, the city wouldn’t approve permits for them, or would make them prohibitively expensive to put on. There was a fear of black people gathering en masse, he said. It wasn’t just the anti-cruising laws, it was also clamp downs on events like Festival at The Lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Refusing access to places, has been a big part of my growing up,” Riley said. He said that was especially true when it came to music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most glaring example for Riley is \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Oakland-Pulls-Plug-on-Rap-Concert-City-rejects-2983526.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tupac Shakur\u003c/a>, who many claim as Oakland’s own. “Tupac couldn’t perform in Oakland,” Riley said. “They wouldn’t let it happen. The venues that existed in Oakland, wouldn’t do hip-hop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not that there was “no there there” for Riley, it was that systems of power and economic forces were working very hard against people being anywhere. If they were black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/X3mUlxpeLUg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fighting Cliched Representation \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boots Riley’s film is now available to audiences across the country, representing Oakland to the world at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feeling represented, feeling seen, is important, Riley said. He remembers when Sheila E. came back to her high school, Oakland High, where Riley was a student, to pass out tickets to her new movie, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjEJ5UqH0pY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Krush Groove\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She came to the school in her full Prince-style regalia,” he said. “It seemed like there was a light around her as she walked through the hall, like of your high school!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That meant that we meant something,” he said. “We were told so much that we are insignificant. Through life, and what we see on television or in the movies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representation is important, but for Riley making this movie is about more than reflecting Oakland back to the people who live here. Representation is also about how Oakland appears to the outside world. Not just with images of the city and its residents, but the radical politics that thrive here, from the Black Panthers to Occupy Oakland to Black Lives Matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m fighting cliche,” Riley said. “Usually when we make something, we tend to fall into the conventions of the people that have done it before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representation on the left has problems of its own, Riley said. For him, diversifying representation is not enough. “Even on the left, we’ve moved away from class struggle in the last 50 years and started talking about things in terms of people’s personalities,” he said. “As an effect of the McCarthy era, even in places like public radio, people won’t put out an idea that makes them look like they might be a communist. So they water down their philosophy so much, that we lie to people, we tell each other that the way to change things is by letting our voice be heard.” This perpetuates a myth that representation — that ‘\u003ca href=\"http://www.pulitzer.org/article/not-giving-voice-voiceless\">giving voice to the voiceless\u003c/a>‘ as the cliche has it — is enough. For Riley, representation without rigorous class analysis, without tools for reshaping the power dynamics that cage the working class from the ruling class, can never be enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Art, Riley said, has the power to reshape our conceptions, even to spread the message that power structures can be dismantled by the withholding of labor. “Much of what we believe about the world, like what we envision of the world, is formed by works of art: Movies, TV.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, sometimes that does start with the way we see places. “Like I’ve never been to Delhi,” Riley said. “I’ve a picture in my head of what it looks like and that picture is not even from the news, it’s probably from James Bond movies, with really racist ideas about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has not been immune from these kinds of racist, outsider representations. When President Donald Trump was a candidate, he was asked by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/22/magazine/donald-trump-primary-win.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times where the most dangerous place he had ever been to was\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“There are places in America that are among the most dangerous in the world,” Trump responded. “You go to places like Oakland. Or Ferguson. The crime numbers are worse. Seriously.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Oakland did have a high crime rate in the 1990’s and in the 2000’s, but the crime, and murder rate, has dropped significantly in recent years. It is not, by these statistics, one of the most dangerous cities in the United States, let alone the entire world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those broad brush strokes have shaped Oakland’s image for a long time, often erasing the culture, political and artistic, of people here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writer Tommy Orange is all too familiar with that myth of Oakland. “People know of Oakland, but it was like the murder capital in the 90’s and sort of has that representation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange wanted to find different representations of his hometown. He searched for Oakland novels while writing his book, and was surprised to find so few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of writing this,” Orange said, “came from the native invisibility, and then the Oakland invisibility thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There There\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Orange, the Gertrude Stein quote speaks not just to the invisibility of Oakland, but the invisibility of native people, especially in cities. “For native people, similarly, we live on land that has been changed from what it was,” Orange said. “The novel is about identity and native identity, and figuring out how we make sense of living in the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange came into an understanding of his identity, as what he calls an urban Indian, over time. Urban Indian is a term that has come to refer to native people who have moved and relocated, whether by force or choice, to cities and metropolitan areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would always say I’m native, but I’d probably say I’m half,” he said. “Because as a native person you’re constantly have to qualify yourself, or how much, or you’re actually being directly asked how much you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew my mom was white and my dad was Indian,” he said. “It was a conflict in the house to some extent, and I knew it was a deep conflict based on history, and that was just something that I always knew.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what he didn’t always know was where he fit. “There’s a difference identity-wise, if you were born on the rez, and you’re part of…” he pauses. “If you’re from a reservation you’re surrounded by people of your same tribe. People from the city, who grew up in the city, not only are you not around your tribe, you’re around a lot of non-Indian people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange’s parents divorced when he was 13-years-old, and he said his teenage years were hard. But in 2005, he got a job at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nativehealth.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Native American Health Center\u003c/a> in Oakland, and found the urban Indian community here, “I felt that sense of belonging again, and belonging to a community of people that were like me,” he said. “I didn’t even know that community existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It definitely changed me in a big way to feel like, oh there’s other people like me here, and there’s a long history of us being here,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11679459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11679459\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/therethere-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A copy of Tommy Orange's "There There," a first novel from the author, which has been on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the past month.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A copy of Tommy Orange’s “There There,” a first novel from the author, which has been on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the past month. \u003ccite>(Sandhya Dirks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He writes of that community in “There There”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We bought and rented homes, slept on the streets, under freeways, we went to school, joined the armed forces, populated Indian bars in the Fruitvale in Oakland, and in the Mission in San Francisco. We lived in boxcar villages in Richmond. We made art and we made babies and we made way for our people to go back and forth between reservation and city. We did not move to cities to die. The sidewalks and streets, the concrete absorbed our heaviness. The glass, metal, rubber and wires, the speed, the hurtling masses—the city took us in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving representation to the urban Indian, Orange said, is a big part of why he wrote this book. “It’s a totally different experience being an urban Indian than it is being a rez Indian, and so much of representation is based on reservation Indians or historical Indians,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It risks being erased, if all you can refer to as self is historical — then you’re basically already gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gone, as in not there at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here, Here\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are these subtle parallels between the experiences of exclusion and the search for significance and belonging in both Riley’s and Orange’s childhoods, and in their paths to storytelling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of course, the biggest parallel, is that they are both telling stories grounded in their Oaklands, which both are, and are not, the same place. Maybe it is a coincidence, that in the same summer, their work is finding acclaim before a national audience. Oakland seems to be having a moment in the zeitgeist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley said that isn’t just happening in books and movies. His socialist and communist ideologies, of dismantling capitalism through withholding labor, are finding a foothold in national politics. Which is why Riley said despite everything that is happening in American politics right now, he is hopeful. “The population is much more radical than the democratic party,” Riley said. “There was a right wing think tank that did this study of millennials and they were \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/03/millennials-think-socialism-would-create-great-safe-space-study-finds.html\">up in arms\u003c/a> at the results,” Riley said. “The results were that \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/02/socialism-young-americans-bernie-sanders\">one in two millennials think this should be a socialist society\u003c/a>, and that gives me hope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11679334\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11679334\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/GettyImages-986802002-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Director Boots Riley attends the Film Independent At LACMA Presents Screening And Q&A Of 'Sorry To Bother You' at Bing Theater At LACMA on June 28, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Director Boots Riley attends the Film Independent At LACMA Presents Screening And Q&A Of ‘Sorry To Bother You’ at Bing Theater At LACMA on June 28, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. \u003ccite>(Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Riley sees artists like himself being embraced as part of a deeper change in radical representation. Tommy Orange also sees his success as part of a larger phenomenon, both of Native writers, and of the city he is from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland’s having a great year,” Orange said. He’s referring not only to Riley and himself, but also a certain hometown basketball team. “And hopefully that will not be a wave that comes and goes and recedes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently Orange had his own Gertrude Stein moment, going back to the street he grew up on. But unlike with Stein, his house was still there. He took his wife and son, and they had a picnic near his childhood home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looked totally small, because when you go back to things from your childhood you just feel big, because you are bigger,” he said. “But there’s also something about memory and the way size and scope changes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was another change he noticed too, “the money that has come into Oakland, has changed the street. It was a lot nicer than I remember it,” he laughed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange said the people still felt very much the same. But that isn’t true for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland writer Ishmael Reed said he doesn’t recognize his neighborhood anymore. “This used to be a black neighborhood,” he said. “It’s now, no longer that. Everybody knew everybody, it was like more of a family neighborhood. But now, people seem to be alienated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here comes the classic moment in any Oakland story, that always turns the knife. The city in which both Riley and Orange were raised is changing. And for many Native and black people, it is no longer affordable. At the same moment that these storytellers are gaining national attention for their work about diverse and complicated Oakland, it has become less and less possible for black and Native people to afford to live here. In the glow of all this representation, of them showing the \u003cem>there\u003c/em> that is \u003cem>here\u003c/em>, the people that have been here all along, can’t always stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tommy Orange and his family do not live in Oakland, because he has not been able to afford the steadily rising rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re currently live out in Angels Camp,” he said. “Were thinking of moving back in the fall, because now we can afford it. And we haven’t been able to move back, because we haven’t been able to afford it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the success of his new book, he may just be able to come back. Writing a book about his beloved Oakland, may have provided him the resources to return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we make it back in the fall,” Orange said, “I’ll think of it like that. Like Oakland allowed me to come back.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Or it doesn’t have place, or it doesn’t have a feel to it,” Orange said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very convenient quote if you’re gentrifying some place, to be like ‘there’s no place there anyway,’ or ‘nobodys from Oakland’,” Orange said. “All the new people here, all the new white people gentrifying, it’s very convenient to have that feeling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That feeling, Orange said, is just wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, Oakland artists are pushing back against the narrative of an invisible city, for all the world to see. They are portraying the place and the people from here with spectacular and sweeping visions, from a film that uses satirical science fiction to take on capitalism, racism and gentrification, to a story spanning the intertwining lives of urban Native Americans and their deep history in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sorry To Bother You\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boots Riley, musician with The Coup, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/22/magazine/how-boots-riley-infiltrated-hollywood.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">activist, local intellectual and man-about-The-Town\u003c/a>, filmed his movie “Sorry To Bother You” over 28 days last summer in Oakland.

From San Leandro, through East Oakland, all the way down Telegraph Avenue and into Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Oakland that I grew up in was one in which we were constantly wanting to be engaged with something bigger than us,” Riley said. “We felt like there was nothing to do, we felt like there weren’t things available to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, when they got older, they would drive in cars, “we didn’t get on the freeway because that trip was what it was all about, looking for signs of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On those long car rides, they would pass boarded up buildings, neighborhoods abandoned by infrastructure, places and people in which the city did not invest. They would also find others like them, say hello while stopped at red lights, whole streams of young people driving in cars, looking for life and each other. It sounds like a scene out of “American Graffiti,” or any of our childhoods, before social media. But Riley said because these were black teenagers, Oakland passed anti-cruising laws, making what for so many was a rite of passage into an illegal activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t stop culture and creativity from creeping up through cracks in the concrete. The young people of Oakland made music, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668394/spinning-rims-spinning-cars-the-history-of-the-oakland-sideshow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">staged sideshows\u003c/a>, invented \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRRnAhmB58\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turfing\u003c/a>, a specific style of street dancing known for its fluid and hypnotic movements, and created a new genre of hip-hop that came to be called hyphy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley said the city and local businesses continually put up bars to access and inclusion. Even when they had the artists and wanted to set up shows, the city wouldn’t approve permits for them, or would make them prohibitively expensive to put on. There was a fear of black people gathering en masse, he said. It wasn’t just the anti-cruising laws, it was also clamp downs on events like Festival at The Lake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Refusing access to places, has been a big part of my growing up,” Riley said. He said that was especially true when it came to music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most glaring example for Riley is \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Oakland-Pulls-Plug-on-Rap-Concert-City-rejects-2983526.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tupac Shakur\u003c/a>, who many claim as Oakland’s own. “Tupac couldn’t perform in Oakland,” Riley said. “They wouldn’t let it happen. The venues that existed in Oakland, wouldn’t do hip-hop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not that there was “no there there” for Riley, it was that systems of power and economic forces were working very hard against people being anywhere. If they were black.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/X3mUlxpeLUg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/X3mUlxpeLUg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fighting Cliched Representation \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boots Riley’s film is now available to audiences across the country, representing Oakland to the world at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feeling represented, feeling seen, is important, Riley said. He remembers when Sheila E. came back to her high school, Oakland High, where Riley was a student, to pass out tickets to her new movie, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjEJ5UqH0pY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Krush Groove\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She came to the school in her full Prince-style regalia,” he said. “It seemed like there was a light around her as she walked through the hall, like of your high school!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That meant that we meant something,” he said. “We were told so much that we are insignificant. Through life, and what we see on television or in the movies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representation is important, but for Riley making this movie is about more than reflecting Oakland back to the people who live here. Representation is also about how Oakland appears to the outside world. Not just with images of the city and its residents, but the radical politics that thrive here, from the Black Panthers to Occupy Oakland to Black Lives Matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m fighting cliche,” Riley said. “Usually when we make something, we tend to fall into the conventions of the people that have done it before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representation on the left has problems of its own, Riley said. For him, diversifying representation is not enough. “Even on the left, we’ve moved away from class struggle in the last 50 years and started talking about things in terms of people’s personalities,” he said. “As an effect of the McCarthy era, even in places like public radio, people won’t put out an idea that makes them look like they might be a communist. So they water down their philosophy so much, that we lie to people, we tell each other that the way to change things is by letting our voice be heard.” This perpetuates a myth that representation — that ‘\u003ca href=\"http://www.pulitzer.org/article/not-giving-voice-voiceless\">giving voice to the voiceless\u003c/a>‘ as the cliche has it — is enough. For Riley, representation without rigorous class analysis, without tools for reshaping the power dynamics that cage the working class from the ruling class, can never be enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Art, Riley said, has the power to reshape our conceptions, even to spread the message that power structures can be dismantled by the withholding of labor. “Much of what we believe about the world, like what we envision of the world, is formed by works of art: Movies, TV.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, sometimes that does start with the way we see places. “Like I’ve never been to Delhi,” Riley said. “I’ve a picture in my head of what it looks like and that picture is not even from the news, it’s probably from James Bond movies, with really racist ideas about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has not been immune from these kinds of racist, outsider representations. When President Donald Trump was a candidate, he was asked by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/22/magazine/donald-trump-primary-win.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times where the most dangerous place he had ever been to was\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“There are places in America that are among the most dangerous in the world,” Trump responded. “You go to places like Oakland. Or Ferguson. The crime numbers are worse. Seriously.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Oakland did have a high crime rate in the 1990’s and in the 2000’s, but the crime, and murder rate, has dropped significantly in recent years. It is not, by these statistics, one of the most dangerous cities in the United States, let alone the entire world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those broad brush strokes have shaped Oakland’s image for a long time, often erasing the culture, political and artistic, of people here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writer Tommy Orange is all too familiar with that myth of Oakland. “People know of Oakland, but it was like the murder capital in the 90’s and sort of has that representation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange wanted to find different representations of his hometown. He searched for Oakland novels while writing his book, and was surprised to find so few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of writing this,” Orange said, “came from the native invisibility, and then the Oakland invisibility thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There There\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Orange, the Gertrude Stein quote speaks not just to the invisibility of Oakland, but the invisibility of native people, especially in cities. “For native people, similarly, we live on land that has been changed from what it was,” Orange said. “The novel is about identity and native identity, and figuring out how we make sense of living in the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange came into an understanding of his identity, as what he calls an urban Indian, over time. Urban Indian is a term that has come to refer to native people who have moved and relocated, whether by force or choice, to cities and metropolitan areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would always say I’m native, but I’d probably say I’m half,” he said. “Because as a native person you’re constantly have to qualify yourself, or how much, or you’re actually being directly asked how much you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew my mom was white and my dad was Indian,” he said. “It was a conflict in the house to some extent, and I knew it was a deep conflict based on history, and that was just something that I always knew.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what he didn’t always know was where he fit. “There’s a difference identity-wise, if you were born on the rez, and you’re part of…” he pauses. “If you’re from a reservation you’re surrounded by people of your same tribe. People from the city, who grew up in the city, not only are you not around your tribe, you’re around a lot of non-Indian people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange’s parents divorced when he was 13-years-old, and he said his teenage years were hard. But in 2005, he got a job at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nativehealth.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Native American Health Center\u003c/a> in Oakland, and found the urban Indian community here, “I felt that sense of belonging again, and belonging to a community of people that were like me,” he said. “I didn’t even know that community existed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It definitely changed me in a big way to feel like, oh there’s other people like me here, and there’s a long history of us being here,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11679459\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11679459\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/therethere-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A copy of Tommy Orange's "There There," a first novel from the author, which has been on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the past month.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A copy of Tommy Orange’s “There There,” a first novel from the author, which has been on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the past month. \u003ccite>(Sandhya Dirks/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He writes of that community in “There There”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We bought and rented homes, slept on the streets, under freeways, we went to school, joined the armed forces, populated Indian bars in the Fruitvale in Oakland, and in the Mission in San Francisco. We lived in boxcar villages in Richmond. We made art and we made babies and we made way for our people to go back and forth between reservation and city. We did not move to cities to die. The sidewalks and streets, the concrete absorbed our heaviness. The glass, metal, rubber and wires, the speed, the hurtling masses—the city took us in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving representation to the urban Indian, Orange said, is a big part of why he wrote this book. “It’s a totally different experience being an urban Indian than it is being a rez Indian, and so much of representation is based on reservation Indians or historical Indians,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It risks being erased, if all you can refer to as self is historical — then you’re basically already gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gone, as in not there at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here, Here\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are these subtle parallels between the experiences of exclusion and the search for significance and belonging in both Riley’s and Orange’s childhoods, and in their paths to storytelling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of course, the biggest parallel, is that they are both telling stories grounded in their Oaklands, which both are, and are not, the same place. Maybe it is a coincidence, that in the same summer, their work is finding acclaim before a national audience. Oakland seems to be having a moment in the zeitgeist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley said that isn’t just happening in books and movies. His socialist and communist ideologies, of dismantling capitalism through withholding labor, are finding a foothold in national politics. Which is why Riley said despite everything that is happening in American politics right now, he is hopeful. “The population is much more radical than the democratic party,” Riley said. “There was a right wing think tank that did this study of millennials and they were \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/03/millennials-think-socialism-would-create-great-safe-space-study-finds.html\">up in arms\u003c/a> at the results,” Riley said. “The results were that \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/02/socialism-young-americans-bernie-sanders\">one in two millennials think this should be a socialist society\u003c/a>, and that gives me hope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11679334\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11679334\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/GettyImages-986802002-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Director Boots Riley attends the Film Independent At LACMA Presents Screening And Q&A Of 'Sorry To Bother You' at Bing Theater At LACMA on June 28, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Director Boots Riley attends the Film Independent At LACMA Presents Screening And Q&A Of ‘Sorry To Bother You’ at Bing Theater At LACMA on June 28, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. \u003ccite>(Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Riley sees artists like himself being embraced as part of a deeper change in radical representation. Tommy Orange also sees his success as part of a larger phenomenon, both of Native writers, and of the city he is from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland’s having a great year,” Orange said. He’s referring not only to Riley and himself, but also a certain hometown basketball team. “And hopefully that will not be a wave that comes and goes and recedes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently Orange had his own Gertrude Stein moment, going back to the street he grew up on. But unlike with Stein, his house was still there. He took his wife and son, and they had a picnic near his childhood home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looked totally small, because when you go back to things from your childhood you just feel big, because you are bigger,” he said. “But there’s also something about memory and the way size and scope changes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was another change he noticed too, “the money that has come into Oakland, has changed the street. It was a lot nicer than I remember it,” he laughed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange said the people still felt very much the same. But that isn’t true for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland writer Ishmael Reed said he doesn’t recognize his neighborhood anymore. “This used to be a black neighborhood,” he said. “It’s now, no longer that. Everybody knew everybody, it was like more of a family neighborhood. But now, people seem to be alienated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here comes the classic moment in any Oakland story, that always turns the knife. The city in which both Riley and Orange were raised is changing. And for many Native and black people, it is no longer affordable. At the same moment that these storytellers are gaining national attention for their work about diverse and complicated Oakland, it has become less and less possible for black and Native people to afford to live here. In the glow of all this representation, of them showing the \u003cem>there\u003c/em> that is \u003cem>here\u003c/em>, the people that have been here all along, can’t always stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tommy Orange and his family do not live in Oakland, because he has not been able to afford the steadily rising rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re currently live out in Angels Camp,” he said. “Were thinking of moving back in the fall, because now we can afford it. And we haven’t been able to move back, because we haven’t been able to afford it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the success of his new book, he may just be able to come back. Writing a book about his beloved Oakland, may have provided him the resources to return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He says he’s been on the streets or in prison nearly his whole life. In a way, this cabin is a step up. “I don’t have to worry about rats coming in,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he grew up just a couple of miles from this encampment. His roots are inked across his body — from a “Bay Area” tattoo on his abdomen to an homage to the Raiders spanning his entire back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>William is among the more than 85 percent of Oakland’s homeless who are from Alameda County, according to the most recent \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/everyone-counts/\">Point-In-Time homeless survey.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now the future of Williams’ small shelter is in question due to the pending bridge construction. At this point he seems resigned to moving again — he’s just hoping the city finds The Village its own site. He also warns that putting too many people in one spot will “cause friction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams knows what he’s talking about — there has been plenty of friction at this encampment — including several rapes and beatings, according to residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s friction between The Village and the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mistrust began when the city tore down a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11299819/oakland-dismantles-tiny-houses-at-homeless-village\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">different Village encampment\u003c/a> at Grove Shafter Park in West Oakland in February 2017. That encampment went up without official permission, and the city deemed it unsafe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then last fall, the City Council granted The Village the 23rd Avenue site for an encampment. But Village lead organizer Anita De Asis, who goes by the name Needa Bee, says that before organizers had arrived, the city dropped scores of homeless people at the site — far more than they could manage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then the numbers at the site have exploded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very frustrated,” says Bee, who accuses the city of trying to sabotage their grassroots effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11677112\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_3961-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Needa Bee, lead organizer for The Village. \u003ccite>(Tara Siler/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The latest blow to The Village came when the city told the group it would have to move again within a year of arriving — because of the bridge construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re incompetent or you’re lying,” Bee says. “And either way, it sucks because what you were supposed to do was vet the land.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVries, the assistant to the city administrator, says he understands why it might look like incompetence or sabotage. But he explains that it’s hard to predict the schedule of the Department of Transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a big city with “a lot of moving parts,” DeVries says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for moving other homeless people to the East 12th Street site, DeVries says the city only relocated one group of about a dozen people from a nearby median for safety reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to solve this homeless crisis together,” DeVries says. “We’re all doing it with good intention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the skepticism, DeVries says the city is actively searching for new sites: One to be managed by \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheVillageInOakland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Village\u003c/a> and a second for people with higher needs that would be managed by the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also hoping to partner with Village organizers to make the transition as smooth as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because they’ve built relationships with people out there and we do know that those relationships are really critical to get people to seek or accept services,” DeVries says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says case managers will be starting the intake process soon — interviewing each person to determine their needs and the best path toward more permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what Leonard Williams says he wants, too. “What I like to do is use this as a stepping stone to get me into a better spot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until all this is worked out, Village volunteers plan to keep building more cabins at the current site. Then the next task will be to figure out how these wood structures will be transported to a new home.\u003c/p>\n\n",

His roots are inked across his body — from a “Bay Area” tattoo on his abdomen to an homage to the Raiders spanning his entire back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>William is among the more than 85 percent of Oakland’s homeless who are from Alameda County, according to the most recent \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/everyone-counts/\">Point-In-Time homeless survey.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now the future of Williams’ small shelter is in question due to the pending bridge construction. At this point he seems resigned to moving again — he’s just hoping the city finds The Village its own site. He also warns that putting too many people in one spot will “cause friction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams knows what he’s talking about — there has been plenty of friction at this encampment — including several rapes and beatings, according to residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s friction between The Village and the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mistrust began when the city tore down a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11299819/oakland-dismantles-tiny-houses-at-homeless-village\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">different Village encampment\u003c/a> at Grove Shafter Park in West Oakland in February 2017. That encampment went up without official permission, and the city deemed it unsafe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then last fall, the City Council granted The Village the 23rd Avenue site for an encampment. But Village lead organizer Anita De Asis, who goes by the name Needa Bee, says that before organizers had arrived, the city dropped scores of homeless people at the site — far more than they could manage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then the numbers at the site have exploded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very frustrated,” says Bee, who accuses the city of trying to sabotage their grassroots effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11677112\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_3961-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Needa Bee, lead organizer for The Village. \u003ccite>(Tara Siler/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The latest blow to The Village came when the city told the group it would have to move again within a year of arriving — because of the bridge construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re incompetent or you’re lying,” Bee says. “And either way, it sucks because what you were supposed to do was vet the land.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVries, the assistant to the city administrator, says he understands why it might look like incompetence or sabotage. But he explains that it’s hard to predict the schedule of the Department of Transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a big city with “a lot of moving parts,” DeVries says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for moving other homeless people to the East 12th Street site, DeVries says the city only relocated one group of about a dozen people from a nearby median for safety reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to solve this homeless crisis together,” DeVries says. “We’re all doing it with good intention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the skepticism, DeVries says the city is actively searching for new sites: One to be managed by \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheVillageInOakland/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Village\u003c/a> and a second for people with higher needs that would be managed by the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also hoping to partner with Village organizers to make the transition as smooth as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because they’ve built relationships with people out there and we do know that those relationships are really critical to get people to seek or accept services,” DeVries says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says case managers will be starting the intake process soon — interviewing each person to determine their needs and the best path toward more permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what Leonard Williams says he wants, too. “What I like to do is use this as a stepping stone to get me into a better spot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until all this is worked out, Village volunteers plan to keep building more cabins at the current site. Then the next task will be to figure out how these wood structures will be transported to a new home.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Would each of the newly created states then need to approve of their own existence?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That wasn’t a problem for the residents of early-19th century Maine, who felt the Massachusetts state government didn’t do enough to protect the area from the invading British during the War of 1812.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The effect of actually having the government in Boston not defend the District of Maine in time of war really changed public perceptions in Maine,” said Colin Woodard, author of \u003cem>T\u003c/em>\u003cem>he Lobster Coast: Rebels, Rusticators & the \u003c/em>\u003cem>Struggle for a Forgotten Frontier,\u003c/em> a history of early Maine. “That culminated very quickly into a successful vote for statehood.\u003ci>” \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cal 3 proponents are hoping for a similar sentiment from voters in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All Californians deserve more from their state, and with Cal 3,\u003cbr>\nmore regional responsiveness and more meaningful results will create a promising future for everyone,” initiative spokesperson Peggy Grande said in a statement on Tuesday, when the measure was approved to appear on the fall ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of Californians could approve the Cal 3 idea even if, for example, the residents of the new ‘Southern California’ (covering the Central Valley, the Inland Empire, and San Diego) vote against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To create a new state, Article IV of the U.S. Constitution requires “Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned.” It’s an open question whether that includes the consent of the new states being formed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Arguably the legislative body of each of those new states might have to weigh in as well,” said Vikram Amar, Dean of the University of Illinois College of Law, who has been following Draper’s proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it makes its way through the legal minefield at the state level, the Cal 3 measure would head to Congress for approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Congress, the effort to split California would be viewed through a national political lens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worked in Maine’s favor in 1820, when Congress used the bid for statehood to maintain the balance of free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise allowed the entrance of free-state Maine into the union, balanced with the creation of new slave-state Missouri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>“Maine presented a solution to a problem on the federal stage, whereas California splitting into three states wouldn’t,” said Woodard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in Congress would likely be horrified by the idea of six senators coming from present-day California. Two Democrats would likely represent the proposed ‘Northern California’ (running from Santa Cruz to the Oregon border), joined by two more Democrats from the new ‘California,’ which would encompass the Central Coast and Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hypothetical ‘Southern California’ is more politically split, but the possibility of six Democratic senators between the three states is not out of the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bad news for Democrats is that the politically balanced ‘Southern California’ could go for a Republican presidential candidate. That would suddenly fracture the guaranteed 55 electoral votes that Democrats count on from the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes in presidential elections are so high that I can’t imagine many Democrats being really enamored of this idea,” said Amar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar added that there could be bipartisan concern that the entrance of the new states would dilute the voting power of all sitting Senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1820, Maine’s exit from Massachusetts was aided by a perfect storm of popular support and political opportunity.

Would each of the newly created states then need to approve of their own existence?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That wasn’t a problem for the residents of early-19th century Maine, who felt the Massachusetts state government didn’t do enough to protect the area from the invading British during the War of 1812.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The effect of actually having the government in Boston not defend the District of Maine in time of war really changed public perceptions in Maine,” said Colin Woodard, author of \u003cem>T\u003c/em>\u003cem>he Lobster Coast: Rebels, Rusticators & the \u003c/em>\u003cem>Struggle for a Forgotten Frontier,\u003c/em> a history of early Maine. “That culminated very quickly into a successful vote for statehood.\u003ci>” \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cal 3 proponents are hoping for a similar sentiment from voters in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All Californians deserve more from their state, and with Cal 3,\u003cbr>\nmore regional responsiveness and more meaningful results will create a promising future for everyone,” initiative spokesperson Peggy Grande said in a statement on Tuesday, when the measure was approved to appear on the fall ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority of Californians could approve the Cal 3 idea even if, for example, the residents of the new ‘Southern California’ (covering the Central Valley, the Inland Empire, and San Diego) vote against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To create a new state, Article IV of the U.S. Constitution requires “Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned.” It’s an open question whether that includes the consent of the new states being formed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Arguably the legislative body of each of those new states might have to weigh in as well,” said Vikram Amar, Dean of the University of Illinois College of Law, who has been following Draper’s proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it makes its way through the legal minefield at the state level, the Cal 3 measure would head to Congress for approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Congress, the effort to split California would be viewed through a national political lens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worked in Maine’s favor in 1820, when Congress used the bid for statehood to maintain the balance of free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise allowed the entrance of free-state Maine into the union, balanced with the creation of new slave-state Missouri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>“Maine presented a solution to a problem on the federal stage, whereas California splitting into three states wouldn’t,” said Woodard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in Congress would likely be horrified by the idea of six senators coming from present-day California. Two Democrats would likely represent the proposed ‘Northern California’ (running from Santa Cruz to the Oregon border), joined by two more Democrats from the new ‘California,’ which would encompass the Central Coast and Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hypothetical ‘Southern California’ is more politically split, but the possibility of six Democratic senators between the three states is not out of the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bad news for Democrats is that the politically balanced ‘Southern California’ could go for a Republican presidential candidate. That would suddenly fracture the guaranteed 55 electoral votes that Democrats count on from the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes in presidential elections are so high that I can’t imagine many Democrats being really enamored of this idea,” said Amar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar added that there could be bipartisan concern that the entrance of the new states would dilute the voting power of all sitting Senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1820, Maine’s exit from Massachusetts was aided by a perfect storm of popular support and political opportunity. There’s a reason the feat hasn’t been repeated for nearly 200 years.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Independent expenditure committees spent over $3 million on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The position is nonpartisan, but both leading candidates are Democrats. Thurmond represents parts of the East Bay in the State Assembly. He used to be a Richmond city council member, school board member and social worker. He grew up poor and credits public education for saving his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Two Very Different Backgrounds, A Lot in Common\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshall Tuck has a background in management. He helped found the charter network \u003ca href=\"http://greendot.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Dot Public Schools\u003c/a> in Los Angeles and ran it. He later helped create and run \u003ca href=\"https://partnershipla.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that works to improve underserved LA Unified schools. He started out in the world of finance after college, then says he found his passion in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two differ markedly in their backgrounds, the distinctions in their visions are more subtle. Tuck emphasizes innovation, collaboration and the reform of some teacher protections, like tenure laws. Thurmond highlights his personal connection to public schools, presenting himself as a champion for vulnerable students, and the defender of the state against the assaults of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The differences show up in their views on charter schools. Both Tuck and Thurmond say they want to make for-profit charters illegal and both call for greater accountability and transparency of public charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/tonys-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thurmond stresses\u003c/a> a “crisis of accountability” and calls himself the only candidate who is “fully committed to reforming charter schools,” \u003ca href=\"https://marshalltuck.com/issues/introduction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuck describes\u003c/a> charters as important partners in public education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is our neediest that have been hurt the most by underperforming schools,” Tuck’s plan reads, “and we should support quality public charter schools that can give our highest-need families an additional public school opportunity.” He emphasizes focusing on how charters can collaborate with and support traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Tuck and Thurmond oppose private school vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIPPbJWwOPw&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to work rules, Tuck has a lot to say, while Thurmond’s plan doesn’t touch on the issue. Tuck calls for reform of the state’s teacher dismissal process, arguing it’s too difficult to get rid of teachers who perform poorly or engage in misconduct. He also wants to see changes to the tenure process in California, which currently allows teachers to be tenured after two years. The law has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/22/490991086/california-teacher-tenure-laws-upheld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court and upheld\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to give our teachers and schools more time before making such consequential decisions,” Tuck’s plan reads. “Neither the teacher nor the student is served by having to make such a high-stakes decision after such a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has said he supports extending the probationary period to four years; Thurmond has said he would support upping it to three, though he has \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sided with the teachers union\u003c/a> in laying out what that might look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, seniority largely determines layoffs for teachers. Tuck wants districts to have more flexibility, and be able to consider other factors when layoffs are necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck also emphasizes paring down regulations he sees as stifling creativity. He calls the California Education Code “overly prescriptive” and says he wants to build on the Local Control Funding Formula to gain greater flexibility from the ed code. In the short term, he aims to help districts get waivers from the code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond says any incoming superintendent should review the rules, and he calls for flexibility in curriculum, but likens Tuck’s critique of the educational code to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ attitude toward regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The result has been the rollback of protections and rights for disabled students, sexual assault survivors, transgender students and student loan borrowers,” Thurmond says. “Because it’s a cheap way to score political points with voters on the right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford-based education policy expert \u003ca href=\"https://cepa.stanford.edu/david-plank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Plank\u003c/a> says the most significant difference between the two doesn’t show up in their plans for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They themselves are not very far apart,” Plank says. “They have very different friends. The friends of one are the enemies of the other and vice versa, so the political contest gives the impression that the stakes are larger than they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/endorsements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support\u003c/a> of the state’s major unions, the California Democratic Party, which has put over $500,000 behind him, and Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Barbara Lee. The California Teachers Association has pumped over $2 million into his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has the Association of School Administrators and California Charter School Association behind him. His biggest fundraiser, The \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1243091&view=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Voice for the Kids PAC\u003c/a>, got major contributions from billionaire charter advocates Arthur Rock, \u003ca href=\"https://broadfoundation.org/education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eli Broad\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.waltonfamilyfoundation.org/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walton family\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Teachers Association president Eric Heins is quick to take issue with these supporters, arguing they represent the interests of the few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s clear that we have a very unaccountable industry that is almost completely unregulated,” Heins says of charter schools, “and that’s draining money from our public school system that actually needs it the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/About-CTA/Leadership/Officers/President-Eric-Heins.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heins\u003c/a> also says Thurmond’s track record lines up with voter’s values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s continued to work throughout his career as a social worker working with at risk students,” Heins says. “He has passed legislation to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide millions to keep kids in school\u003c/a> and for giving \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB2506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foster kids the opportunity to go to college\u003c/a>. These are all things that California voters want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tuck supporter Ben Austin, a former member of the State Board of Education and former consultant for Tuck’s Green Dot Public Schools, Heins and his union colleagues are a big problem. He argues these backers hem Thurmond in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t have the political latitude to stand up for kids because he’s funded by very powerful adult special interests whose interests sometimes clash with the interests of kids,” Austin says.”You can guess who wins when when that happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent forum hosted by EdSource, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/california-superintendent-candidates-oppose-big-money-from-independent-committees/598132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both candidates decried\u003c/a> the influence of outside money in politics and vowed, if elected, to operate beyond the influence of their bankrollers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDzXl7d-otg&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the clash between their supporters, Tuck and Thurmond have a lot in common. Both say they want to increase teacher pay and provide more mentoring and coaching opportunities for new teachers. Tuck advocates free college and credentialing for anyone who commits to teaching for five years and higher pay for school employees who work in high-needs communities, while Thurmond says he’d like to make college cheaper for future teachers, streamline the credentialing process and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide affordable housing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prioritize boosting per-pupil funding for the state’s public schools. Thurmond touts a plan to bring California into the top 10 states in per-pupil funding by 2022, and to number one in the nation by 2026. Like Tuck, he aims to steer money away from prisons into schools, and make it easier to pass local school taxes and fight cuts to federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both men say they’ll work towards universal pre-K in the state, and want to see schools act as community hubs, providing healthcare services to those who need them. Both are calling for greater funding for special education and expanded bilingual education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both herald the Local Control Funding Formula as an important step toward equity in the state, but say they want to see greater transparency, in the form of public data, and more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has called for a thorough review of the LCFF to “ensure that funding is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Meanwhile Tuck is advocating what he calls a “school equity audit” — a sprawling review not only of how districts allocate funding, but of teacher experience and turnover, access to college prep classes, learning time, and arts and music curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates for the post are on the ballot, but neither has mounted a significant campaign. They are Lily Ploski and Steven Ireland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If no candidate gets a majority of the votes in next month’s primary, there will be a runoff in November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He later helped create and run \u003ca href=\"https://partnershipla.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that works to improve underserved LA Unified schools. He started out in the world of finance after college, then says he found his passion in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two differ markedly in their backgrounds, the distinctions in their visions are more subtle. Tuck emphasizes innovation, collaboration and the reform of some teacher protections, like tenure laws. Thurmond highlights his personal connection to public schools, presenting himself as a champion for vulnerable students, and the defender of the state against the assaults of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The differences show up in their views on charter schools. Both Tuck and Thurmond say they want to make for-profit charters illegal and both call for greater accountability and transparency of public charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/tonys-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thurmond stresses\u003c/a> a “crisis of accountability” and calls himself the only candidate who is “fully committed to reforming charter schools,” \u003ca href=\"https://marshalltuck.com/issues/introduction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuck describes\u003c/a> charters as important partners in public education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is our neediest that have been hurt the most by underperforming schools,” Tuck’s plan reads, “and we should support quality public charter schools that can give our highest-need families an additional public school opportunity.” He emphasizes focusing on how charters can collaborate with and support traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Tuck and Thurmond oppose private school vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/rIPPbJWwOPw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/rIPPbJWwOPw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to work rules, Tuck has a lot to say, while Thurmond’s plan doesn’t touch on the issue. Tuck calls for reform of the state’s teacher dismissal process, arguing it’s too difficult to get rid of teachers who perform poorly or engage in misconduct. He also wants to see changes to the tenure process in California, which currently allows teachers to be tenured after two years. The law has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/22/490991086/california-teacher-tenure-laws-upheld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court and upheld\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to give our teachers and schools more time before making such consequential decisions,” Tuck’s plan reads. “Neither the teacher nor the student is served by having to make such a high-stakes decision after such a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has said he supports extending the probationary period to four years; Thurmond has said he would support upping it to three, though he has \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sided with the teachers union\u003c/a> in laying out what that might look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, seniority largely determines layoffs for teachers. Tuck wants districts to have more flexibility, and be able to consider other factors when layoffs are necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck also emphasizes paring down regulations he sees as stifling creativity. He calls the California Education Code “overly prescriptive” and says he wants to build on the Local Control Funding Formula to gain greater flexibility from the ed code. In the short term, he aims to help districts get waivers from the code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond says any incoming superintendent should review the rules, and he calls for flexibility in curriculum, but likens Tuck’s critique of the educational code to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ attitude toward regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The result has been the rollback of protections and rights for disabled students, sexual assault survivors, transgender students and student loan borrowers,” Thurmond says. “Because it’s a cheap way to score political points with voters on the right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford-based education policy expert \u003ca href=\"https://cepa.stanford.edu/david-plank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Plank\u003c/a> says the most significant difference between the two doesn’t show up in their plans for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They themselves are not very far apart,” Plank says. “They have very different friends. The friends of one are the enemies of the other and vice versa, so the political contest gives the impression that the stakes are larger than they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/endorsements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support\u003c/a> of the state’s major unions, the California Democratic Party, which has put over $500,000 behind him, and Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Barbara Lee.

These are all things that California voters want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tuck supporter Ben Austin, a former member of the State Board of Education and former consultant for Tuck’s Green Dot Public Schools, Heins and his union colleagues are a big problem. He argues these backers hem Thurmond in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t have the political latitude to stand up for kids because he’s funded by very powerful adult special interests whose interests sometimes clash with the interests of kids,” Austin says.”You can guess who wins when when that happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent forum hosted by EdSource, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/california-superintendent-candidates-oppose-big-money-from-independent-committees/598132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both candidates decried\u003c/a> the influence of outside money in politics and vowed, if elected, to operate beyond the influence of their bankrollers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/XDzXl7d-otg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/XDzXl7d-otg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the clash between their supporters, Tuck and Thurmond have a lot in common. Both say they want to increase teacher pay and provide more mentoring and coaching opportunities for new teachers. Tuck advocates free college and credentialing for anyone who commits to teaching for five years and higher pay for school employees who work in high-needs communities, while Thurmond says he’d like to make college cheaper for future teachers, streamline the credentialing process and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide affordable housing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prioritize boosting per-pupil funding for the state’s public schools. Thurmond touts a plan to bring California into the top 10 states in per-pupil funding by 2022, and to number one in the nation by 2026. Like Tuck, he aims to steer money away from prisons into schools, and make it easier to pass local school taxes and fight cuts to federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both men say they’ll work towards universal pre-K in the state, and want to see schools act as community hubs, providing healthcare services to those who need them. Both are calling for greater funding for special education and expanded bilingual education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both herald the Local Control Funding Formula as an important step toward equity in the state, but say they want to see greater transparency, in the form of public data, and more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has called for a thorough review of the LCFF to “ensure that funding is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Meanwhile Tuck is advocating what he calls a “school equity audit” — a sprawling review not only of how districts allocate funding, but of teacher experience and turnover, access to college prep classes, learning time, and arts and music curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates for the post are on the ballot, but neither has mounted a significant campaign. They are Lily Ploski and Steven Ireland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
