"content": "\u003cp>When Darlene Baker entered \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/fci-dublin\">FCI Dublin\u003c/a> in April 2022, she had heard about the sexual abuse allegations that plagued the prison. The month before she arrived, the Bureau of Prisons had been there promising to improve reporting protocol, and the warden and a chaplain were facing criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Baker said that after she was forced into a back room of the medical building and assaulted by an officer who was supposed to be administering care, she discovered just how pervasive the culture of sexual misconduct, retaliation and cover-up at the East Bay facility was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a cultural rot,” Baker, 60, told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the federal government acknowledged the damage done at FCI Dublin, granting a $116 million settlement — the largest for sexual assault survivors in U.S. prison history — to 103 women, including Baker, who were formerly incarcerated at the now-shuttered facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For much of her 11 months in the prison, Baker faced retaliation for reporting her abuser. She was denied visits with her family; her phone and commissary access were cut off; she was barred from speaking with her lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was also forced to return to the medical office and interact with the officer who she said had assaulted her to receive necessary care or medications. She said the final words he spoke to her, the day before she was scheduled for early release, were: “he knew where I lived, and he would be up to have a drink with me at some point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My release was canceled the next morning,” Baker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 100 women have come forward with experiences like Baker’s since a 2021 \u003cem>Associated Press\u003c/em> investigation revealed that the facility, dubbed the “rape club” by workers and women imprisoned there, had a long history of enabling sexual abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an affirmation that sexual abuse of female prisoners will not be tolerated in this society,” attorney Jessica Pride, who represents plaintiffs in the case, said of this week’s settlement. “The Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice now have 116 million reasons why they will make sure that prisoners will not be sexually abused under their watch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the Bureau of Prisons said it condemns all sexually abusive behavior and “takes seriously its duty to protect the individuals in [its] custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bureau “remains committed to rooting out criminal behavior and holding accountable those who violate their oath of office,” the statement continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The global settlement was divided among the women based on in-depth interviews with two former judges, who listened to their accounts of abuse and reviewed their treatment records. Individuals received $500,000 to $1.6 million each, Pride said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement is the latest legal victory for women who were incarcerated at FCI Dublin, which the Bureau of Prisons said this month \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12017117/east-bay-federal-prison-plagued-sex-abuse-scandal-close-permanently\">will close permanently\u003c/a> after it was abruptly cleared out and shuttered in April.

More than 20 others who have been accused of sexual misconduct and retaliation, including the medical officer Baker said assaulted her, are being investigated, according to Pride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just was top-down, from the warden, the chaplain, safety officers, recycling officers. It just was a pervasive culture,” Baker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many women did not come forward for fear of retaliation. Those who did were often sent to the solitary housing unit or lost privileges, like those taken from Baker. Without adequate mental health care, they struggled to recover from the trauma of their assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Officers carry keys all the time. If you heard the keys coming, there would be your heart — that kind of a heart attack feeling — and just fear because you’re not safe,” Baker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, shortly after the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11978878/fbi-raids-dublin-womens-prison-plagued-by-sexual-abuse\">FBI raided the prison\u003c/a>, the BOP \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982014/judge-chooses-top-pick-for-special-master-to-oversee-womens-prison-following-rampant-abuse\">appointed a special master\u003c/a> to oversee \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998682/special-master-slams-conditions-at-fci-dublin-in-report\">operational changes\u003c/a>.

There have been reports that some of the women transferred have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11990979/biden-administration-seeks-to-dismiss-lawsuit-over-bay-area-womens-prison-abuses\">faced similar abuse\u003c/a>, and many aren’t receiving the resources they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to have a safe place to try to begin to heal, and inside the confines of a prison like that, you’re not safe,” Baker told KQED. “The women who went to other prisons when the facility was closed in April, they’re still suffering sexual trauma, and they don’t have a safe place to try to heal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that the settlement agreement reached last week on behalf of nearly 500 incarcerated women who were transferred from FCI Dublin in April includes a two-year consent decree meant to protect and oversee their care. That will be subject to approval by a judge in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming months, attorney Pride expects that 50 to 100 more civil cases will be filed against the BOP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The bottom line is that when we’ve accepted responsibility for our crimes, accepted plea agreements, the punishment does not include rape and sexual assault within the prison confines,” Baker said. “We weren’t sentenced to that particular punishment, and nobody should have to experience that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/dcronin\">\u003cem>Dana Cronin\u003c/em>\u003c/a> \u003cem>contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Tim Walz, are making dramatic inroads with voters who were lukewarm about Biden when Harris was his number two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the IGS poll shows the Harris-Walz ticket leading former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance by 25 points — up from an 18-point advantage in the February IGS poll when Biden topped the ticket. Harris is making big gains across the board, but especially with younger voters, independents and the state’s Black and Latino voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, among voters 18 to 29, for whom Biden was a particularly tough sell, Harris leads Trump by a whopping 73% to 22%.

In previous IGS surveys, California voters showed tepid support for Harris. However, in this poll, 58% of all voters view her favorably, while 40% have an unfavorable view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she’s rallied the kind of support of many party members who just hadn’t had a real opinion of her before and hadn’t seen her in action this way,” Schickler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bump in support for the Democratic ticket transcends demographics and party registration. Not only do 90% of Democrats support the Harris-Walz ticket — compared to 79% for Biden-Harris in the February IGS poll — but independent or “no party preference” voters have also swung Harris’ way. In the February survey, 25% of independent voters were undecided. Now, just 9% are, and nearly all those who made a decision went for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12000208\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1648\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png 1648w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-800x499.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1020x636.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-160x100.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1536x958.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1648px) 100vw, 1648px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s running mate isn’t helping his ticket. By a 2 to 1 margin, voters have an unfavorable view of Vance, whose earlier comments on people without children and “childless cat ladies” have had him in hot water for weeks. By comparison, 56% of voters are “enthusiastic” about Walz and another 25% are “satisfied.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing voters agree on across the board: 88% said Biden’s decision to drop out of the race was good for the country, while just 4% think it was bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ three-week run of positive coverage, combined with Trump’s inability to tarnish the vice president’s luster, has reportedly left the former president fuming. But Schickler said Republicans are surely preparing to launch negative ads against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Trump campaign will certainly try to heighten fears about Harris, and certainly, her race and gender may be implicated in some of those efforts,” he said. “But at least from what we’ve seen so far, Harris has been quite successful in essentially getting the momentum and the kind of positive energy from this historic candidacy while not raising the kind of backlash that many people fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If voter enthusiasm remains high, candidates down the ballot will benefit, Schickler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we see Democrats energized, at least on an even footing with Republicans when it comes to (voter) turnout, that could make a decisive difference in the battle to control Congress,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democrats hope to flip at least four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives while also defending an open seat in Orange County currently held by Rep. Katie Porter, who lost her bid for the U.S. Senate earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Harris campaign said it will begin spelling out a more specific policy agenda beyond what she inherited from Biden.

Tim Walz, are making dramatic inroads with voters who were lukewarm about Biden when Harris was his number two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the IGS poll shows the Harris-Walz ticket leading former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance by 25 points — up from an 18-point advantage in the February IGS poll when Biden topped the ticket. Harris is making big gains across the board, but especially with younger voters, independents and the state’s Black and Latino voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, among voters 18 to 29, for whom Biden was a particularly tough sell, Harris leads Trump by a whopping 73% to 22%. That’s an improvement of 23 percentage points for Harris over Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12000364\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1648\" height=\"1207\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final.png 1648w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-800x586.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-1020x747.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-160x117.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-1536x1125.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1648px) 100vw, 1648px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Black voters, who supported the Biden-Harris ticket by 58% to 23%, now favor Harris-Walz by 74% to 15%, an uptick of 16 percentage points toward the Democratic nominee.

In previous IGS surveys, California voters showed tepid support for Harris. However, in this poll, 58% of all voters view her favorably, while 40% have an unfavorable view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she’s rallied the kind of support of many party members who just hadn’t had a real opinion of her before and hadn’t seen her in action this way,” Schickler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bump in support for the Democratic ticket transcends demographics and party registration. Not only do 90% of Democrats support the Harris-Walz ticket — compared to 79% for Biden-Harris in the February IGS poll — but independent or “no party preference” voters have also swung Harris’ way. In the February survey, 25% of independent voters were undecided. Now, just 9% are, and nearly all those who made a decision went for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12000208\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1648\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png 1648w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-800x499.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1020x636.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-160x100.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1536x958.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1648px) 100vw, 1648px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s running mate isn’t helping his ticket.

"content": "\u003cp>On July 21, President Joe Biden stepped down from the 2024 presidential election, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the new Democratic nominee. And soon after, reports began to circulate that \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/harriss-support-for-gaza-cease-fire-hints-at-foreign-policy-shift-bbe8dc2a\">Harris may shift away\u003c/a> from \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/04/14/1244683830/politics-chat-biden-vows-to-continue-support-for-israel-aid-package-in-the-works\">her predecessor’s long-standing support of Israel.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crisis in Gaza came into even sharper focus last week after \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/25/nx-s1-5048285/harris-gaza-war\">Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u003c/a> on Thursday during his visit to Washington, D.C., following \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-hamas-war-netanyahu-kamala-harris-biden-trump-support-gaza-rcna162992\">her decision not to preside over Netanyahu’s address to Congress\u003c/a>. Harris said that while she had an “unwavering commitment to Israel,” which she said “has a right to defend itself,” she nonetheless urged a cease-fire deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating,” Harris said in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/25/nx-s1-5048285/harris-gaza-war\">her official remarks after the meeting with Netanyahu\u003c/a>. “We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I will not be silent.” It was a marked contrast from Biden’s previous statements around Gazans, which many criticized for his seeming \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/12/biden-empathy-lacking-palestinians/\">lack of empathy for Palestinians\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pro-Palestinian activists say they are now watching Harris’ campaign cautiously — and that they’re seeing this election season as a key moment to set the political priorities of the next few years. For these advocates, “Palestine has never been a single issue,” said Samer Araabi, San Francisco resident and member of the Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC). “It’s the perspective of how a government should function, vis-a-vis war and militarism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is our moment to articulate a vision for a better version of this country,” Araabi said. “A version of this country that actually upholds the values that it espouses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-year-old Vallejo resident Halimah Houston said that while they saw Harris as “more competent than both Joe Biden and Trump to do the job,” they “hope she recognizes we need a cease-fire since she’ll have more power as president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beth Miller, the political director of Jewish Voice for Peace Action, said Harris and the Democratic Party now have “an opportunity” to rebuild with their voting base — and engage younger voters like Houston too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Miller, Biden “has essentially broken apart the broad progressive coalition that helped him defeat Donald Trump in 2020” — something she attributes in part “to his unquestioning support for the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Netanyahu’s visit met with absences — and protests\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Israeli forces have killed over 38,000, injured over 88,000 and displaced nearly 2 million Palestinians, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ochaopt.org/\">according to the United Nations\u003c/a>. Now in its 10th month, the siege of Gaza began after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, in which militants killed some 1,200 people and took 240 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. More than 100 of the hostages have been released or rescued. A network of human rights clinics in the United States — which includes institutions like Cornell and Yale universities — found in a May report that Israel’s actions \u003ca href=\"https://www.humanrightsnetwork.org/palestine\">“constitute breaches of the international law prohibitions on the commission of genocide.\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to Harris, dozens of members of Congress were also \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11997141/as-netanyahu-speaks-to-congress-several-bay-area-lawmakers-are-skipping-out\">absent from Netanyahu’s Wednesday address\u003c/a>.

Watching parts of Netanyahu’s visit from the Bay Area, Palestinian Santa Clara resident Ken Afi said the welcome that the Israeli PM received showed him that “these congressmen don’t stand for us. They don’t stand for the people. It’s just about trading power between them and suppressing the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the United States and our Congress and our executive branch had a shred of moral clarity, they would be putting this man behind bars as soon as he landed his flight,” Afi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AROC’s Araabi was one of \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-netanyahu-gaza-war-congress-joint-session-9a7885972989b2397b49e5b971ffe0e0\">thousands of protesters who took to the streets of D.C. to protest the Israeli PM’s visit\u003c/a> and attempt to block his passage to Congress. Protesters were reported to have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/capitol-police-pepper-spray-demonstrators-protesting-netanyahu-visit-rcna163502\">pepper sprayed, and relatives of the remaining \u003c/a>Israeli hostages, who wore shirts \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/capitol-police-pepper-spray-demonstrators-protesting-netanyahu-visit-rcna163502\">demanding a cease-fire deal to free their loved ones, were also detained by police.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/24/rashida-tlaib-netanyahu-israel-gaza\">some of her fellow Democrats\u003c/a>, Harris did not say anything publicly about Netanyahu’s presence at Congress, either before or in her remarks after their meeting.

The \u003cem>Wall Street Journal \u003c/em>also reported that current and former officials say \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/harriss-support-for-gaza-cease-fire-hints-at-foreign-policy-shift-bbe8dc2a\">Harris is not likely to keep key Biden advisers and staff, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C94imq-smNp/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA%3D%3D\">An anonymous Israeli official was reported as reacting negatively\u003c/a> to Harris’ speech after the Netanyahu meeting — which centered on the suffering of Palestinians — saying it could lead to “regression in the [cease-fire] talks.” Miller of \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvpaction.org/\">Jewish Voice for Peace Action\u003c/a> — which describes itself as a “multiracial, intergenerational movement of Jews and allies working towards justice and equality for Palestinians and Israelis by transforming U.S. policy” — said that while she “was glad to see that [Harris] was more stern in her wording around her meeting with Netanyahu,” she insisted that “we cannot and will not just accept rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2024-elections/362782/kamala-harris-gaza-israel-palestine-biden-netanyahu\">news outlets and commentators\u003c/a> have noted Harris has historically appeared \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2024/07/21/biden-quit-harris-president-gaza/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=theintercept\">more sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians\u003c/a> — as well as to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kamala-harris-interview-profile-excerpt/\">pro-Palestinian activists protesting in the United States on their behalf\u003c/a>.

In the same speech, Harris said she was also more willing to be stricter with Israel’s blockade of aid being delivered to Gaza — something Biden had shied away from. Her 25-year-old stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, whose father, Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman, is Jewish — has also \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/meet-ella-emhoff-the-achingly-hip-knitwear-queen-in-line-to-be-the-first-step-daughter\">publicly raised money for Gaza\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But back in June, pro-Palestinian activists protested \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-06-05/vp-kamala-harris-greeted-by-over-a-hundred-protesters-outside-fundraiser-in-san-francisco\">Harris’ official appearance in San Francisco\u003c/a>.

The \u003cem>Wall Street Journal \u003c/em>also reported that current and former officials say \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/harriss-support-for-gaza-cease-fire-hints-at-foreign-policy-shift-bbe8dc2a\">Harris is not likely to keep key Biden advisers and staff, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C94imq-smNp/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA%3D%3D\">An anonymous Israeli official was reported as reacting negatively\u003c/a> to Harris’ speech after the Netanyahu meeting — which centered on the suffering of Palestinians — saying it could lead to “regression in the [cease-fire] talks.” Miller of \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvpaction.org/\">Jewish Voice for Peace Action\u003c/a> — which describes itself as a “multiracial, intergenerational movement of Jews and allies working towards justice and equality for Palestinians and Israelis by transforming U.S. policy” — said that while she “was glad to see that [Harris] was more stern in her wording around her meeting with Netanyahu,” she insisted that “we cannot and will not just accept rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2024-elections/362782/kamala-harris-gaza-israel-palestine-biden-netanyahu\">news outlets and commentators\u003c/a> have noted Harris has historically appeared \u003ca href=\"https://theintercept.com/2024/07/21/biden-quit-harris-president-gaza/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=theintercept\">more sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians\u003c/a> — as well as to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kamala-harris-interview-profile-excerpt/\">pro-Palestinian activists protesting in the United States on their behalf\u003c/a>.

In the same speech, Harris said she was also more willing to be stricter with Israel’s blockade of aid being delivered to Gaza — something Biden had shied away from. Her 25-year-old stepdaughter Ella Emhoff, whose father, Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman, is Jewish — has also \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/meet-ella-emhoff-the-achingly-hip-knitwear-queen-in-line-to-be-the-first-step-daughter\">publicly raised money for Gaza\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But back in June, pro-Palestinian activists protested \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-06-05/vp-kamala-harris-greeted-by-over-a-hundred-protesters-outside-fundraiser-in-san-francisco\">Harris’ official appearance in San Francisco\u003c/a>.

And what is that power being used for? And in terms of right now, it’s rooted in inequity, violence and oppression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brotsky said that whoever the Democratic presidential candidate is, Jewish Voice for Peace Action activists will continue to push for an arms embargo on Israel and a permanent cease-fire. The group also supports other pro-cease-fire candidates like \u003ca href=\"https://www.jvpaction.org/our-2024-candidates/\">Cori Bush of St. Louis\u003c/a> and plans to march at the Democratic National Convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nothing has changed,” Brotsky said. “[Cease-fire and arms embargo] was a demand of Biden in the Democratic Party. It’s still a demand of whoever the presidential nominee is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many activists are nonetheless worried that amid a media storm around the U.S. 2024 election, the death toll in Gaza and the suffering of Palestinians will be forgotten.

In the past, undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens could apply for permanent residency, but they had to return to their home countries to finalize the process and could be barred from the U.S. for up to 10 years. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin accepting applications in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security estimates that about 500,000 spouses of U.S. citizens and 50,000 children of applicants who are stepchildren of U.S. citizens will be eligible for the new program nationwide. About 120,000 spouses of U.S. citizens will be eligible for the program in California, according to an \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.fwd.us/news/parole-in-place-citizen-spouses/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis\u003c/a> by the organization FWD.us of data from the 2022 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those eligible likely have children. An estimated 1 in 10 children in California have at least one undocumented parent, according to the \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.nccp.org/immigration/?state=CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Center for Children in Poverty\u003c/a>. It is unclear how many of them also have a U.S. citizen parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When this was announced, it was like a huge sigh of relief,” said Mayra Alvarez, president of The Children’s Partnership, a nonprofit children’s advocacy organization based in Los Angeles. \u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>The opportunity that families are going to be able to stay together as they apply for permanent residency is a direct commitment to child well-being. It’s an acknowledgment that parents and caregivers are critical to children’s healthy development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some research shows that the fear of deportation of a parent or caregiver impacts children’s ability to do well in school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absenteeism, repeating a grade and dropping out are all more likely” for children who have an undocumented parent, said Carolyn Sattin-Bajaj, associate professor of education at UC Santa Barbara. She added that undocumented parents are also less likely to apply for public programs for which their U.S. citizen children are eligible, like Head Start, food stamps and public health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Modesto resident Mirna Cisneros, whose husband and three children are U.S. citizens, said she was elated when she learned about the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Imagine, I even cried when I found out,” Cisneros said in Spanish. Still, she said she won’t truly believe it until she is actually able to apply for permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros came to the U.S. from Mexico in 1999 when she was 17. She met her husband in Florida and later moved with him to California. Though her husband is a U.S. citizen, she has not been able to obtain permanent residency through him. She was going to apply but stopped the process after realizing that she would have to return to Mexico and might have to stay there for 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros said her three children, who are 17, 16 and 11 years old and are also U.S. citizens, have told her many times they are afraid she will be deported. She said her middle son told her, “’Mamá, I’m always thinking about what will happen if they grab you and take you to Mexico. I’m going to miss you. What will happen if we can’t see you?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If she gets permanent residency, she said, it would allow her to work in better-paying jobs to help support her family. She currently bakes and decorates cakes from her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being able to apply for permanent residency would also give her children more flexibility and freedom to choose where they want to attend college, Cisneros said. Her oldest daughter is set to graduate from high school next year and has told her she wants to attend college out of state, in Florida, but because Cisneros avoids traveling by plane because of her immigration status, her daughter has been planning to give up that dream to attend school closer to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that as soon as they’re able to get a work permit and have the stability of knowing that they’re not going to be deported, that parent will be able to access better employment. That will mean better salaries, better types of jobs that allow parents to be more engaged in their children’s schooling, and that’s going to lead to mental and physical health benefits for parents and children,” said Wendy Cervantes, director of immigration and immigrant families at the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP). The nonprofit organization was one of two dozen groups that sent a \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://childrenthriveaction.org/2024/05/parole-in-place-letter-from-child-focused-organizations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter\u003c/a> to the Biden administration in May asking for the change in policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cervantes pointed to research about how children benefited when their parents received work permits and protection from deportation through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, introduced by then-President Barack Obama in 2012 that has allowed hundreds of thousands of people who were brought to the United States as children to temporarily remain in the country and obtain work permits.

Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign national press secretary, issued a statement saying, “Biden only cares about one thing — power — and that’s why he is giving mass amnesty and citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegals who he knows will ultimately vote for him and the Open Border Democrat Party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who qualify for the new program would not be able to vote until they receive citizenship, and they would not be able to apply for citizenship until three years after they get permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaker of the House Mike Johnson \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1408\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issued a statement\u003c/a> saying he expects the program to be challenged in court and accused President Joe Biden of trying to “play both sides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The President may think our homeland security is some kind of game that he can try to use for political points, but Americans know this amnesty plan will only incentivize more illegal immigration and endanger Americans,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In the past, undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens could apply for permanent residency, but they had to return to their home countries to finalize the process and could be barred from the U.S. for up to 10 years. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin accepting applications in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security estimates that about 500,000 spouses of U.S. citizens and 50,000 children of applicants who are stepchildren of U.S. citizens will be eligible for the new program nationwide. About 120,000 spouses of U.S. citizens will be eligible for the program in California, according to an \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.fwd.us/news/parole-in-place-citizen-spouses/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis\u003c/a> by the organization FWD.us of data from the 2022 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those eligible likely have children. An estimated 1 in 10 children in California have at least one undocumented parent, according to the \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.nccp.org/immigration/?state=CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Center for Children in Poverty\u003c/a>. It is unclear how many of them also have a U.S. citizen parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s an acknowledgment that parents and caregivers are critical to children’s healthy development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some research shows that the fear of deportation of a parent or caregiver impacts children’s ability to do well in school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absenteeism, repeating a grade and dropping out are all more likely” for children who have an undocumented parent, said Carolyn Sattin-Bajaj, associate professor of education at UC Santa Barbara. She added that undocumented parents are also less likely to apply for public programs for which their U.S. citizen children are eligible, like Head Start, food stamps and public health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Modesto resident Mirna Cisneros, whose husband and three children are U.S. citizens, said she was elated when she learned about the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Imagine, I even cried when I found out,” Cisneros said in Spanish. Still, she said she won’t truly believe it until she is actually able to apply for permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros came to the U.S. from Mexico in 1999 when she was 17. She met her husband in Florida and later moved with him to California. Though her husband is a U.S. citizen, she has not been able to obtain permanent residency through him. She was going to apply but stopped the process after realizing that she would have to return to Mexico and might have to stay there for 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros said her three children, who are 17, 16 and 11 years old and are also U.S. citizens, have told her many times they are afraid she will be deported. She said her middle son told her, “’Mamá, I’m always thinking about what will happen if they grab you and take you to Mexico. I’m going to miss you. What will happen if we can’t see you?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If she gets permanent residency, she said, it would allow her to work in better-paying jobs to help support her family. She currently bakes and decorates cakes from her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being able to apply for permanent residency would also give her children more flexibility and freedom to choose where they want to attend college, Cisneros said. Her oldest daughter is set to graduate from high school next year and has told her she wants to attend college out of state, in Florida, but because Cisneros avoids traveling by plane because of her immigration status, her daughter has been planning to give up that dream to attend school closer to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that as soon as they’re able to get a work permit and have the stability of knowing that they’re not going to be deported, that parent will be able to access better employment. That will mean better salaries, better types of jobs that allow parents to be more engaged in their children’s schooling, and that’s going to lead to mental and physical health benefits for parents and children,” said Wendy Cervantes, director of immigration and immigrant families at the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP). The nonprofit organization was one of two dozen groups that sent a \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://childrenthriveaction.org/2024/05/parole-in-place-letter-from-child-focused-organizations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter\u003c/a> to the Biden administration in May asking for the change in policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cervantes pointed to research about how children benefited when their parents received work permits and protection from deportation through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, introduced by then-President Barack Obama in 2012 that has allowed hundreds of thousands of people who were brought to the United States as children to temporarily remain in the country and obtain work permits. In one \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.aan5893?casa_token=hdIyd4TIqBUAAAAA%3AsP8nHGHPIOAAHQiQdWhR04UXPD7iNfUeVet2V13xzpLcWNwZmWLvPeJxDKRNXHC6zSl64Lr_JxmklR0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a>, children whose mothers were eligible for the deferral program had 50% fewer diagnoses of adjustment and anxiety disorders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Sattin-Bajaj expressed concern that many immigrants may be hesitant to apply because of the upcoming presidential election and the uncertainty of whether such a policy would be maintained under a new administration, particularly if led by former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have a lot of confidence that there’s euphoria right now because things move so slowly, and it feels like a storm is brewing,” Sattin-Bajaj said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top Republican leaders have rejected the program. Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign national press secretary, issued a statement saying, “Biden only cares about one thing — power — and that’s why he is giving mass amnesty and citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegals who he knows will ultimately vote for him and the Open Border Democrat Party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who qualify for the new program would not be able to vote until they receive citizenship, and they would not be able to apply for citizenship until three years after they get permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaker of the House Mike Johnson \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1408\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issued a statement\u003c/a> saying he expects the program to be challenged in court and accused President Joe Biden of trying to “play both sides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bernie Sanders led the Democrats’ progressive wing, with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren offering his biggest challenge. Biden, then the 76-year-old former vice president, had yet to announce but was expected to anchor the more centrist wing, and he stood strong among Black voters who figured so prominently in the first-in-the-South primary in South Carolina and many Super Tuesday states that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris came to the campaign having hit her stride during Senate Judiciary Committee sessions, especially when questioning Trump’s judicial nominees.

He voted for former president Donald Trump in 2016 but flipped to Biden in 2020.

Berly’s support was cemented when he saw Harris speak in North Carolina last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was fantastic,” he admitted. “I’m a real doomer, so the weeks since the debate had been really tough, but everything suddenly flipped.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a long time since I’ve felt that excited,” he added. “I was dreading the next 106 days.

Harris has previously said she stands with Biden’s foreign policy, but she publicly voiced support for a temporary ceasefire before Biden did. However, some voters aligned with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/02/27/1234106750/uncommitted-voters-michigan-primary-arab-muslim-dearborn-hamtramck-detroit\">the ‘uncommitted movement’\u003c/a> during \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/03/06/1236295096/super-tuesday-results-uncommitted-biden-gaza-israel\">the primaries \u003c/a>remain in a tough place. (However, the Uncommitted National Movement has come out and endorsed Harris.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d like to see substantive evidence that her position on Gaza will be better than Biden in a meaningful way,” said Mason Pressler of Bay City, Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pressler, who had just turned 18, argued that this was the issue that weighed the most on his vote. He explained that if Harris could heed some of the calls progressives make, like advocating for a permanent ceasefire, she’d earn his support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his friends were “demoralized” about the election a week ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were asking me which third party was best to vote for and what the point was in voting,” he said. “I’m not sure that has fundamentally changed, but I do think Kamala [Harris] has the ability to reach people that Biden never could. The question is, will she make an effort to?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout Biden’s first term, Harris has also \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/01/19/1197954618/harris-gen-z-campaign\">emphasized reaching out to younger voters\u003c/a>. Last fall, she traveled around the country, visiting different colleges and focusing discussions on issues like protecting abortion rights and curbing gun violence — two areas she championed during Biden’s first term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Raquel Crudete, 26, of Indianapolis, Indiana, is more convinced that Harris can be moved to the left on policy in ways Biden could not, including on foreign policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really looking at third parties if I had to vote, and there had not been a change in the democratic nominee,” Crudete said. “I had even started just focusing on down-ballot races in the hopes that even if Biden lost, at least we’d have a chance with keeping the House and Senate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just over a day after Harris announced she would seek the nomination, her campaign reported raising $100 million. Crudete was struck by the general response Harris received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has helped revitalize the democratic base,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, like Alec Ferreira, 25, of San Carlos, Arizona, have been taken aback by the swift ticket change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really broke my heart seeing [Biden] step down, but it had to be done,” Ferreira, who leans more independent, said. “In all honesty, I really wish he let the delegates decide the nominee instead of backing Kamala [Harris] up from the get-go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questions also remain on whether excitement for Harris will last, even as the internet content keeps coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite how funny all of the coconut memes and brat edits are, I hope VP Harris does not make the mistake of taking young voters for granted,” said Cameron Driggers, 19, of Gainesville, Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, Gen-Z wants something to vote for, and memes aren’t gonna cut it.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Last fall, she traveled around the country, visiting different colleges and focusing discussions on issues like protecting abortion rights and curbing gun violence — two areas she championed during Biden’s first term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Raquel Crudete, 26, of Indianapolis, Indiana, is more convinced that Harris can be moved to the left on policy in ways Biden could not, including on foreign policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really looking at third parties if I had to vote, and there had not been a change in the democratic nominee,” Crudete said. “I had even started just focusing on down-ballot races in the hopes that even if Biden lost, at least we’d have a chance with keeping the House and Senate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just over a day after Harris announced she would seek the nomination, her campaign reported raising $100 million. Crudete was struck by the general response Harris received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has helped revitalize the democratic base,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, like Alec Ferreira, 25, of San Carlos, Arizona, have been taken aback by the swift ticket change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really broke my heart seeing [Biden] step down, but it had to be done,” Ferreira, who leans more independent, said. “In all honesty, I really wish he let the delegates decide the nominee instead of backing Kamala [Harris] up from the get-go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questions also remain on whether excitement for Harris will last, even as the internet content keeps coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite how funny all of the coconut memes and brat edits are, I hope VP Harris does not make the mistake of taking young voters for granted,” said Cameron Driggers, 19, of Gainesville, Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
