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

Schaaf’s most prominent opponents, Cat Brooks and Pamela Price, are running against Schaaf from the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks criticizes the \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/oakland-police-chief-made-false-statements-about-ice-raid/Content?oid=9793923\">Oakland Police Department’s collaboration with ICE\u003c/a> in a 2017 operation in West Oakland, and she accuses Schaaf of playing politics when she warned the public about immigration raids earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said Schaaf’s programs, by depending so heavily on philanthropic dollars, are no better than a neo-liberal Band-Aid on inequity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Schaaf points to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/our-november-2018-endorsement-guide/Content?oid=21443046\">endorsement by the alt-weekly East Bay Express\u003c/a> as “the progressive candidate.” (The paper’s endorsement did not actually use the term “progressive.”) Her campaign slogan is “Oakland Tough” and her campaign flyers laud the fact that she has taken on the president directly. In the Chamber of Commerce poll, Schaaf is leading among all ethnic and racial groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A Promise of Police Reform\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At a recent house party for Cat Brooks’ campaign, the young, mostly white, prospective voters sat on pillows and couches to hear Brooks speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an activist, Brooks has been a police abolitionist, arguing that the system of policing is fundamentally broken. Someone asked her, “So, what does Cat Brooks as the boss of the Oakland PD look like?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks laughed a little. “I’ve seen people that I love dearly put on Facebook, ‘I can’t wait ’til Cat Brooks is mayor, and she abolishes the police.’ That’s not going to happen,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have disavowed what they say is Brooks’ militant activism. “Look at my track record,” she said, inviting people to Google her. “You may not like everything you find,” she acknowledged. “You may not like the fact that I’ve chained myself to things. You may not like the fact that I’ve used harsh language when I’ve been engaging with law enforcement. But what you will see is me being consistent and true and fighting like hell for our most marginalized, vulnerable, oppressed population and being absolutely unapologetic about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks said she is also pragmatic, and she understands the role of an activist and the role of a mayor are not the same thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if — and it is a big if — Brooks wins, how would she deal with police? Oakland spends more money \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2017/08/07/how-much-do-u-s-cities-spend-every-year-on-policing-infographic/#c725b9fe7b7d\">per capita on police\u003c/a> than any other city in in the country, and Brooks said 41 percent of the city’s budget is too much. She said if she’s elected mayor, she’ll institute other policing reforms as well. “You actually will not ask every brown or black person you pull over whether they are on probation or parole, effective immediately,” Brooks said. “There will actually be a zero tolerance policy for excessive uses of force and of sexual misconduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Policing and crime, once the most hot-button topics in Oakland, are no longer the number one concern of residents.

He came to the house party for Brooks’ campaign to meet her for the first time. Just down the street, clusters of tents make up homeless encampments that stretch on for blocks. West Oakland has been ground zero for displacement. In a recent survey, over \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/02/survey-confirms-oakland-homeless-crisis-growing-worse/\">80 percent of the unhoused population\u003c/a> had been formerly living in a home in Alameda County. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Watching people who work harder than anyone I know, not being able to stay in a neighborhood that they’ve called home for 20-plus years,” is heartbreaking, Lowe said. “I’m barely holding on, and I have so much more privilege.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Different Visions for Oakland\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Brooks, Price and Schaaf all agree that what happens in the next four years is pivotal to the future of Oakland. Because in that time Oakland could be irreversibly gentrified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they vastly differ on what — and who — is needed to stop that from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf makes the case that she has the political experience to tackle the complex issues facing the city. Her two main opponents are relative political newcomers who’ve never been elected to a local government office. Price was elected to the Alameda County Democratic Party, representing the 18th Assembly District, in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Schaaf said she welcomes and loves Oakland’s activist edge. “\u003c/span>We are a feisty city. We don’t like authority or power. We challenge status quo thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks accuses Schaaf of being that status quo, and she said\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the last four years of displacement and the homeless crisis happened under Schaaf’s watch.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are either going to keep on the road that we are already on, to increase gentrification and homelessness,” Brooks said. “Or we are going to take a hard turn to the left.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is banking on her argument that a political left turn is the only thing that can save what she calls “the soul of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Losing the soul of Oakland isn’t just bad for Oakland, it’s bad for the country, particularly right now. We’re supposed to be the most progressive city in the nation,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is up to voters to define what kind of progressive city they want, and which leader they think is best equipped to get them there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was amended to add that Pamela Price was elected to the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee.

Someone asked her, “So, what does Cat Brooks as the boss of the Oakland PD look like?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks laughed a little. “I’ve seen people that I love dearly put on Facebook, ‘I can’t wait ’til Cat Brooks is mayor, and she abolishes the police.’ That’s not going to happen,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have disavowed what they say is Brooks’ militant activism. “Look at my track record,” she said, inviting people to Google her. “You may not like everything you find,” she acknowledged. “You may not like the fact that I’ve chained myself to things. You may not like the fact that I’ve used harsh language when I’ve been engaging with law enforcement. But what you will see is me being consistent and true and fighting like hell for our most marginalized, vulnerable, oppressed population and being absolutely unapologetic about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks said she is also pragmatic, and she understands the role of an activist and the role of a mayor are not the same thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if — and it is a big if — Brooks wins, how would she deal with police? Oakland spends more money \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2017/08/07/how-much-do-u-s-cities-spend-every-year-on-policing-infographic/#c725b9fe7b7d\">per capita on police\u003c/a> than any other city in in the country, and Brooks said 41 percent of the city’s budget is too much. She said if she’s elected mayor, she’ll institute other policing reforms as well. “You actually will not ask every brown or black person you pull over whether they are on probation or parole, effective immediately,” Brooks said. “There will actually be a zero tolerance policy for excessive uses of force and of sexual misconduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Policing and crime, once the most hot-button topics in Oakland, are no longer the number one concern of residents.

In a recent survey, over \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/06/02/survey-confirms-oakland-homeless-crisis-growing-worse/\">80 percent of the unhoused population\u003c/a> had been formerly living in a home in Alameda County. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Watching people who work harder than anyone I know, not being able to stay in a neighborhood that they’ve called home for 20-plus years,” is heartbreaking, Lowe said. “I’m barely holding on, and I have so much more privilege.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Different Visions for Oakland\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Brooks, Price and Schaaf all agree that what happens in the next four years is pivotal to the future of Oakland. Because in that time Oakland could be irreversibly gentrified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they vastly differ on what — and who — is needed to stop that from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf makes the case that she has the political experience to tackle the complex issues facing the city. Her two main opponents are relative political newcomers who’ve never been elected to a local government office. Price was elected to the Alameda County Democratic Party, representing the 18th Assembly District, in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Schaaf said she welcomes and loves Oakland’s activist edge. “\u003c/span>We are a feisty city. We don’t like authority or power. We challenge status quo thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks accuses Schaaf of being that status quo, and she said\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the last four years of displacement and the homeless crisis happened under Schaaf’s watch.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are either going to keep on the road that we are already on, to increase gentrification and homelessness,” Brooks said. “Or we are going to take a hard turn to the left.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is banking on her argument that a political left turn is the only thing that can save what she calls “the soul of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“\u003c/span>Losing the soul of Oakland isn’t just bad for Oakland, it’s bad for the country, particularly right now.

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