She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

The orders included plans to dismantle a community center — “a central hub for everyone in the community, men, women and children” — as well as the center’s playground, 11 homes and a greenhouse. The stop-work order paused construction on a new house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If these demolition orders go through, the entire community is at risk of being forcibly displaced, permanently,” said Carter, whose organization has brought people from the Bay Area, including members of Kehilla Community Synagogue, to visit Umm al-Khair and other villages in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12062243\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12062243\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-Umm-al-Khair-03-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-Umm-al-Khair-03-KQED.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-Umm-al-Khair-03-KQED-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-Umm-al-Khair-03-KQED-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Residents took photos of the alleged demolition orders and stop-work order, delivered by Israeli Civil Administration employees and Israeli soldiers, on Oct. 28, 2025. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of residents of Umm al-Khair)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“A core community of [the region] and of the nonviolent civil resistance movement, that is connected to so many of us here in the Bay Area, will be gone,” Carter said. “And that is a huge blow to our movement and solidarity activists that are trying to stay steadfast in the struggle to bring peace and justice to the region.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither the Israeli government nor the Israeli Consul General of San Francisco responded to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8IgggCoLZ8c\">video\u003c/a> posted Tuesday on YouTube, Eid Al-Hathaleen, an activist who lives in Umm al-Khair, said residents were given four days to appeal the orders in Israeli court. Lawyers for residents, Morrison told KQED on Thursday, said the “cases will be extremely hard,” and the likelihood of “stopping the demolitions legally is less than 20%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am extremely troubled by reports that the Israeli Government has resumed the demolition of Palestinian homes in Umm al-Khair,” Rep. Lateefah Simon, D-Oakland, said in a statement. “No one should live under the threat of demolition, displacement, or death. I call on the State Department to use all available levers to stop the killing and displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The residents of Umm al-Khair first took refuge among the rural, olive tree-dotted landscape of the South Hebron Hills in 1948, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.haaretz.com/2011-11-11/ty-article/west-bank-settlement-is-outdoing-its-neighboring-bedouin-village/0000017f-e545-df5f-a17f-ffdf19140000\">losing\u003c/a> their homes during the creation of the state of Israel. They purchased the land from Palestinians in the nearby city of Yatta and built a small agrarian community.

Some shut down completely, meaning a significant loss in potential revenue. Others remained open, but were not fully staffed. That includes \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/29/680787463/fallout-grows-as-partial-government-shutdown-drags-on-into-new-year\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Southern California. Vehicles drove off-road, causing major damage to sensitive areas, and trash piled up, scattered around the park. Volunteer groups helped maintain and clean up the park during and after the shutdown.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County prosecutors have secured \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">a grand jury indictment\u003c/a> against 11 pro-Palestinian Stanford University protestors who barricaded themselves in the campus president’s office in 2024.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Joshua Tree National Park Remains Open, But Shutdown Raises Concerns\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Once the federal government shutdown took effect, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-parks-service\">National Park Service\u003c/a> shared a last-minute contingency plan that would keep many park sites open, but without full staffing. According to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058137/government-shutdown-2025-national-parks-planning-memo\">internal NPS memo obtained by KQED\u003c/a>, national park sites that \u003cem>can\u003c/em> be made physically inaccessible to the public will be closed off. But all other NPS sites, including those with roads and trails that are accessible to the public, will now remain open according to the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Tree National Park will remain open, with law enforcement and maintenance staff on hand. But as the shutdown goes on, it’s unclear how long the park will be staffed. During the last shutdown in late 2018 and early 2019, the park struggled with vandalism, trash and overall, a lot of destruction. “The visitors centers are closed,” said John Lauretig, executive director of the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.friendsofjosh.org/\">Friends of Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/a> said at the time. “All the bathrooms are still open, but they’re not being maintained right now by the Park Service. So the local community has rallied together and started cleaning the bathrooms and restocking the toilet paper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends of Joshua Tree is once again watching the shutdown closely. Kenji Haroutunian is executive director of the nonprofit. “I think that will require some of the community to step up, including Friends of Joshua Tree, to support the skeleton crew that’s likely to be in place for the foreseeable future until there’s a funding bill that’s passed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">\u003cstrong>Stanford Pro-Palestine Protestors Indicted For Barricading President’s Office\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A Santa Clara County grand jury has indicted a group of pro-Palestinian Stanford University students on felony vandalism and trespassing charges, stemming from a June 2024 incident in which they broke into the campus president’s office and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989050/pro-palestinian-stanford-protesters-detained-after-occupying-presidents-office\">barricaded\u003c/a> themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors with the District Attorney’s office secured the indictment against 11 students on Sept. 29, pushing the case toward a trial and rankling defense attorneys who say the move shunts key elements of a thus far public prosecution into secrecy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They made this a very public case. They decided to charge felonies, they decided to hold a press conference, they decided to seek national media coverage of this charging decision,” Jeff Wozniak, a defense attorney in the case, told KQED on Wednesday. “And now to hold a secret non-public hearing to secure an indictment is just outrageous to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group of students were previously arraigned on identical felony charges from the DA’s office in the spring, a little less than a year after their action, which marked one piece of a broader campaign pushing Stanford to divest from companies or industries supporting Israel’s military offensive of Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some shut down completely, meaning a significant loss in potential revenue. Others remained open, but were not fully staffed. That includes \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/29/680787463/fallout-grows-as-partial-government-shutdown-drags-on-into-new-year\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Southern California. Vehicles drove off-road, causing major damage to sensitive areas, and trash piled up, scattered around the park. Volunteer groups helped maintain and clean up the park during and after the shutdown.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County prosecutors have secured \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">a grand jury indictment\u003c/a> against 11 pro-Palestinian Stanford University protestors who barricaded themselves in the campus president’s office in 2024.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Joshua Tree National Park Remains Open, But Shutdown Raises Concerns\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Once the federal government shutdown took effect, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-parks-service\">National Park Service\u003c/a> shared a last-minute contingency plan that would keep many park sites open, but without full staffing. According to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058137/government-shutdown-2025-national-parks-planning-memo\">internal NPS memo obtained by KQED\u003c/a>, national park sites that \u003cem>can\u003c/em> be made physically inaccessible to the public will be closed off. But all other NPS sites, including those with roads and trails that are accessible to the public, will now remain open according to the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Tree National Park will remain open, with law enforcement and maintenance staff on hand. But as the shutdown goes on, it’s unclear how long the park will be staffed. During the last shutdown in late 2018 and early 2019, the park struggled with vandalism, trash and overall, a lot of destruction. “The visitors centers are closed,” said John Lauretig, executive director of the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.friendsofjosh.org/\">Friends of Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/a> said at the time. “All the bathrooms are still open, but they’re not being maintained right now by the Park Service. So the local community has rallied together and started cleaning the bathrooms and restocking the toilet paper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends of Joshua Tree is once again watching the shutdown closely. Kenji Haroutunian is executive director of the nonprofit. “I think that will require some of the community to step up, including Friends of Joshua Tree, to support the skeleton crew that’s likely to be in place for the foreseeable future until there’s a funding bill that’s passed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">\u003cstrong>Stanford Pro-Palestine Protestors Indicted For Barricading President’s Office\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A Santa Clara County grand jury has indicted a group of pro-Palestinian Stanford University students on felony vandalism and trespassing charges, stemming from a June 2024 incident in which they broke into the campus president’s office and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989050/pro-palestinian-stanford-protesters-detained-after-occupying-presidents-office\">barricaded\u003c/a> themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They decided to charge felonies, they decided to hold a press conference, they decided to seek national media coverage of this charging decision,” Jeff Wozniak, a defense attorney in the case, told KQED on Wednesday. “And now to hold a secret non-public hearing to secure an indictment is just outrageous to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group of students were previously arraigned on identical felony charges from the DA’s office in the spring, a little less than a year after their action, which marked one piece of a broader campaign pushing Stanford to divest from companies or industries supporting Israel’s military offensive of Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
