Harris on Monday won the crucial backing of Democratic heavyweight Nancy Pelosi to lead the party against Donald Trump in November after Joe Biden's stunning exit from the 2024 race. As the endorsements stacked up, the 59-year-old Harris made her first public appearance since Biden's announcement in a ceremony at the White House where she warmly praised the outgoing president's \"unmatched\" achievements.

He said that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.deanprestonsf.com/press-releases/preston-calls-4-pillars\">“Four Pillars” strategy\u003c/a> — prevention, treatment, harm reduction and enforcement — includes policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our approach includes enforcement of laws against fentanyl dealing and targeting and disruption of the fentanyl supply,” Preston told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy promotes collaboration between law enforcement, social service providers and public health officials as equal partners. The goal is to use police enforcement to maintain public order and lower barriers to treatment and harm reduction resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like that idea of recognizing all four pillars as valuable. I don’t think we’ve had enough of that,” said Humphreys, who advises Congress on strategies for reducing drug addiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Four Pillars were first implemented in Switzerland and resulted in a 50% decrease in overdose deaths in the country by 2010, \u003ca href=\"https://ssir.org/articles/entry/inside_switzerlands_radical_drug_policy_innovation\">according\u003c/a> to the Stanford Social Innovation Review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another priority for Preston is opening more safe injection and overdose prevention sites, like the defunct Tenderloin Center that was introduced as part of Breed’s 2021 state of emergency.

Studies show it increases overdose deaths.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city should open more wellness hubs like the Tenderloin Center. The Department of Public Health’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.sf.gov/sites/default/files/2023-09/SFDPH%20Overdose%20Prevention%20Plan%202022_EN.pdf\">Overdose Prevention Plan\u003c/a>, released in 2022, said that at least two should have been established within two years.

The whole neighborhood feels really different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DMI has three components: incapacitation, deterrence and prevention. Mahmood, who California Attorney General Rob Bonta endorsed, said that the first step of DMI is identifying and building cases against drug dealers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dealers are then presented with the evidence against them and offered one chance to quit before drug markets are shut down, according to Humphreys. Anyone who is arrested for dealing drugs after the initial crackdown faces prosecution and potentially jail time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can get people to leave [drug dealing] on their own, save a lot of money, a lot of time and a lot of lives,” Mahmood said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Identifying dealers, building cases, and eventually, keeping markets closed requires collaboration between local law enforcement, prosecutors and community members. This can make DMI challenging since law enforcement and the communities they police often distrust each other, Humphreys said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes there has to be some atonement,” he told KQED. “It often has to begin with police saying, ‘We’re sorry that what we’ve been doing hasn’t been working, about many bad incidents that have happened over the years, but we want to have a good relationship and work with you.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahmood also supports the drug-free housing legislation proposed at the city level by Dorsey and Supervisor Rafael Mandelman. The legislation would \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11990693/san-francisco-lawmakers-want-sober-housing-to-be-part-of-homelessness-plan\">require the city to create more drug-free recovery housing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Autumn Looijen\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>She gained notoriety after co-leading the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11897089/its-going-to-make-it-worse-parents-wary-of-sf-school-board-recall\">recall of three San Francisco school board members\u003c/a> in 2022. She also launched SF Guardians, a political action committee with an associated program that trains candidates running for office. She said that DMI would be a part of her “Fenta-NIL” plan, which calls for cutting drug supply and demand, cleaning streets and adding beat cops to the Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anyone choosing to deal drugs to our people after that day would be immediately arrested and sent to federal court,” Looijen told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11988904\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11988904\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/20240601_BOSPORTRAIT-6-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1358\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/20240601_BOSPORTRAIT-6-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/20240601_BOSPORTRAIT-6-KQED-800x543.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/20240601_BOSPORTRAIT-6-KQED-1020x693.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/20240601_BOSPORTRAIT-6-KQED-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/20240601_BOSPORTRAIT-6-KQED-1536x1043.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/20240601_BOSPORTRAIT-6-KQED-1920x1304.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Autumn Looijen poses for a portrait at Alamo Square Park on Saturday, June 1, 2024.

"content": "\u003cp>California has arguably never had so much climate momentum, enjoying a moment of alignment between its strong environmental goals and federal policy after battling with the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993747/if-trump-wins-climate\">a second term\u003c/a> for former President Donald Trump — a Trump vs. California 2.0 — would almost certainly be a vicious legal rematch between the most populous state in the nation and an administration intent on weakening its regulations and protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California and the Trump administration were constantly fighting in court and in the headlines, with the state participating in almost 100 lawsuits against the U.S. during his presidency, \u003ca href=\"https://attorneysgeneral.org/multistate-lawsuits-vs-the-federal-government/\">according to a tracker\u003c/a> developed by a Marquette University political scientist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In hindsight, the state’s laws and policies \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1956379/on-the-environment-trump-is-getting-trounced-in-the-courts-at-least-so-far\">emerged relatively unscathed\u003c/a>. However, during a second Trump term, the administration could be more successful in hampering California’s climate and environmental policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one, Trump staffers are likely to be more focused and competent than they were the first time around. Secondly, the legal landscape has changed as Trump-appointed judges sit on benches everywhere, from the Supreme Court to local districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary Nichols, former head of the California Air Resources Board, was one of \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/10/trumps-coming-showdown-with-californias-queen-of-green/571051/\">the chief architects\u003c/a> of California’s ultimately successful legal battle against the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the state’s strict auto-emissions standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state was helped, Nichols said, by the fact that many Trump appointees “took a long time to figure out how to do as much damage as they wanted to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state often beat them on the grounds that they hadn’t followed correct procedures. But during a second Trump administration, “they’ve already said they’re going to be much more prepared this time around to move very quickly, to start to dismantle everything they can possibly dismantle. So, it will be hard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, with Vice President Kamala Harris poised as the Democratic standard bearer, the Golden State could see one of its own leading the White House.

And it does affect the mayoral race, especially if people want to champion change,” said Alondra Esquivel Garcia, president of the San Francisco Women’s Political Committee, a nonpartisan group advocating for women in local politics. “It’s so hard to do that when things are so embedded in the infrastructure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A special panel of the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee plans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdemocrats.org/meetings/2024/july-24-2024-sf-democratic-party\">present a status report on Wednesday night\u003c/a> on its work to create the group’s first code of conduct around reporting, investigating and handling allegations of sexual misconduct within chartered political clubs. At the same meeting, the DCCC is set to vote for and announce its endorsement for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special committee on sexual misconduct was formed in April after multiple women came forward with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985525/failures-of-sf-office-on-sexual-assault-complaints-draw-scrutiny\">allegations against local Democratic club leaders\u003c/a>, including Jon Jacobo and later Kevin Ortiz, two political organizers in the Mission District. Both have denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, accusations that Jay Cheng, who leads the powerful moderate political group Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, attempted to assault a former girlfriend in college resurfaced on social media, drawing renewed attention and reporting on the 2011 incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheng, who went by Jesse then, resigned from his post as a student regent at the University of California following the accusations. Irvine police and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office did not bring charges against Cheng, and he denies the allegations.[aside postID=news_11987959 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/BreedLeeStefani_qut-1020x676.jpg']“I have always believed that when these types of accusations are made, that they should be taken seriously and fully investigated. I took the incident very seriously, including never revealing the identity of my accuser because she wanted to stay anonymous, and I have respected her wishes,” Cheng wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24946487-email-from-jay-cheng-to-nancy-tung\">letter to DCCC Chair Nancy Tung\u003c/a> in April, where he expressed his support for the special committee on sexual misconduct in the political community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the allegations and Democratic leaders’ response to them come under increased scrutiny, the DCCC’s special committee aims “to change the culture of harassment and abuse,” said Lily Ho, who chairs the special panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a tall order,” Ho said. “How that happens is to empower survivors to speak up and change an environment and space so everyone feels welcomed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, that change is hard to make. Multiple survivors and advocates told KQED they had concerns with the group’s approach so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some Democratic club leaders are looking at ‘innocent until proven guilty’ rhetoric, which often is not seen as survivor-centered,” said Esquivel Garcia, whose group closely follows the committee’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic leaders acknowledged the challenge they face but said survivors and outside experts have informed the process, and it is still a work in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize this is new territory for all of us,” Ho said. “There isn’t any document or best practices that we can carbon copy; that just doesn’t exist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Candidates commit to improving sexual harassment protocol\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the process is underway, mayoral candidates vying for the Democratic endorsement were asked how they would support survivors of sexual assault. Tung didn’t comment specifically on how their responses may weigh into the decision-making process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The candidates will rise and fall on their own merits,” Tung said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates hope the candidates’ proposals to be more responsive to survivors will be an important factor in the DCCC’s endorsement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew that sexual violence in politics is not good and not the culture we want future leaders to be brought into,” Esquivel Garcia said. “And endorsements are a big thing.

This isn't a radio version of a magazine, but something all its own, reflecting the rich possibilities of audio storytelling and conversation. Theme music for the show was composed and performed by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YArDs.",
