Zakat, one of the pillars of the Muslim faith, requires people give 2.5% of their savings to charity, if they are able.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Ramadan, according to belief, extra donations lead to extra blessings, and mosques typically raise most of their annual budget during this time. This year, it’s a different story. Bay Area mosques report fundraising has hit an all-time low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Junaid Shaikh is a board member of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mcabayarea.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Muslim Community Association\u003c/a>, a “mega-mosque” in Santa Clara with more than 2,000 worshippers. “It’s a month of fasting, but it’s also a month of giving,” Shaikh said. “It’s like about eight to 10 times more than regular months. That’s how much Muslims give.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the pandemic, mosques are holding online services, and they’re fundraising digitally, too. However, results have been disappointing for many mosques.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, MCA runs the \u003ca href=\"https://www.granadaschool.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Granada Islamic School\u003c/a>, a private Islamic schools for grades K-12.

Mastan said they serve a variety of people with mixed incomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICF is doing the best they can to fundraise, but again, it’s hard to reach people online.

Peggy Bryan. But the change has still been jarring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re used to talking to people in front of us,” Bryan said. “So I delivered a sermon to a hundred empty pews. Where do I look? How do I engage?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rev. Peggy Bryan, St. Andrews Episcopal Church\"]‘We had actually quite a few people who are not members. I got feedback from one person that it was her first time she had ever been in a church service.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past few weeks, as officials have sought to prevent large gatherings, religious congregations around the Bay Area have moved their services and communications online — using video apps like Zoom, YouTube and Facebook Live. The United Church of Christ, a national Protestant denomination, and other organizations have provided \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucc.org/coronavirus\">training\u003c/a> and other resources for churches that are trying to begin livestreaming their services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That effort at Bryan’s church has been paying off, she said. On average, there are about 400 people in the St. Andrews congregation, but once she began \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/saintandrews\">recording her services\u003c/a> using the Zoom video conferencing platform, she began noticing new names in the attendee log.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had actually quite a few people who are not members,” Bryan said. “I got feedback from one person that it was her first time she had ever been in a church service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because so many religious communities have moved their services online, she explained, worshipers can now more easily either tune in to their own regular service or experiment with any number of other services streaming online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But then they said watching us was actually more comforting because there were familiar faces,” Bryan said. “So, how can we keep that comfort and normalize community feel in a time that looks like, for at least the next few weeks, we’re not going to be able to get together at all?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, digital offerings from religious institutions during a time of uncertainty and isolation can’t come fast enough. Kyle Matsumoto Burch, who lives in San Jose’s Japantown neighborhood, regularly attends worship services at \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjbetsuin.com/\">San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin\u003c/a>, located just a few blocks from his house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I [normally] walk to temple in the morning, usually when I hear the bell go off,” Burch. “There’s a bell that they ring outside and then I just go and attend the service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attending these services in person, Burch said, is what he misses most about having to shelter in place. And with newfound time and additional anxiety, Burch said he now watches multiple \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTMUgJqtypE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0TupWBm1DGw__puqcQVYwfrJaGqJzhfrMQhmWeHKLIyd_WbNZNxla4-rA\">services\u003c/a> a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started getting curious about what the Oregon Buddhist [Temple] was doing and what the Orange County Buddhist church was doing, so I watched all of them,” Burch said. “So I ended up watching about three dharma talks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]Burch particularly misses the community he’s cultivated at the temple. And now, more than ever, he’s relying on his faith to guide him, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being able to hear something positive for a change, which is what I get from hearing the dharma talks, is a nice, welcoming relief from the news that we keep hearing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to moving services online, some houses of worship have tried to reach out to their communities and provide offline support to those in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.siliconvalleygurdwara.org/\">Silicon Valley Gurdwara\u003c/a>, a Sikh temple in Santa Clara, typically has religious services every day and serves langar, a free vegetarian meal, all of which it has had to suspend under COVID-19 restrictions. The temple has since started streaming its services on Facebook Live and last week, began delivering \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SiliconValleyGurdwara/photos/pb.232281660211984.-2207520000../2772610906179034/?type=3&theater\">free groceries\u003c/a> to members of its congregation. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harpreet Singh Kohli, a volunteer at the temple, works with about 100 other members of his congregation to buy groceries and make care packages and then deliver them to people’s doorsteps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s lentils, rice, laundry detergents and diapers and toilet paper rolls, sanitizers, milks, fruits and veggies,” Kohli said. “A family can last [on] it for a week. And it takes around $100 to $120 for making one package.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The temple serves about 40 families and delivers everywhere from Fremont to Gilroy. “It’s going smooth and thanks to God, we’re able to sustain it because we expect this to get much worse in the coming weeks,” Kohli said.

The United Church of Christ, a national Protestant denomination, and other organizations have provided \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucc.org/coronavirus\">training\u003c/a> and other resources for churches that are trying to begin livestreaming their services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That effort at Bryan’s church has been paying off, she said. On average, there are about 400 people in the St. Andrews congregation, but once she began \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/saintandrews\">recording her services\u003c/a> using the Zoom video conferencing platform, she began noticing new names in the attendee log.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had actually quite a few people who are not members,” Bryan said. “I got feedback from one person that it was her first time she had ever been in a church service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because so many religious communities have moved their services online, she explained, worshipers can now more easily either tune in to their own regular service or experiment with any number of other services streaming online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But then they said watching us was actually more comforting because there were familiar faces,” Bryan said. “So, how can we keep that comfort and normalize community feel in a time that looks like, for at least the next few weeks, we’re not going to be able to get together at all?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, digital offerings from religious institutions during a time of uncertainty and isolation can’t come fast enough. Kyle Matsumoto Burch, who lives in San Jose’s Japantown neighborhood, regularly attends worship services at \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjbetsuin.com/\">San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin\u003c/a>, located just a few blocks from his house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I [normally] walk to temple in the morning, usually when I hear the bell go off,” Burch. “There’s a bell that they ring outside and then I just go and attend the service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attending these services in person, Burch said, is what he misses most about having to shelter in place. And with newfound time and additional anxiety, Burch said he now watches multiple \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTMUgJqtypE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0TupWBm1DGw__puqcQVYwfrJaGqJzhfrMQhmWeHKLIyd_WbNZNxla4-rA\">services\u003c/a> a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started getting curious about what the Oregon Buddhist [Temple] was doing and what the Orange County Buddhist church was doing, so I watched all of them,” Burch said. “So I ended up watching about three dharma talks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In recent years, Santa Clara’s minority population (especially from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/13/us/13bcwriter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Asian American\u003c/a> communities) has grown, but its City Council has remained predominantly white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That changed in 2018, after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11437363/santa-clara-considers-changing-local-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal complaint\u003c/a> was filed against the city for its voting system, one of\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2019/01/02/the_massive_election_change_in_california_youve_likely_never_heard_of.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dozens of challenges\u003c/a> to at-large elections across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Thomas E. Kuhnle found that the city’s at-large voting system diluted Asian votes and therefore violated the California Voting Rights Act. In a court order, he ruled the city must be divided into six districts, where each City Council member would represent an individual district. In November 2018, Raj Chahal won the District 2 seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I’m the first Asian American, Indian Sikh on the council ever,” Chahal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803894\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803894\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Councilman Raj Chahal speaks at a press conference, hosted by the Asian Law Alliance, against Measure C. Chahal is the first Asian American to serve on the Santa Clara City Council. \u003ccite>(Adhiti Bandlamudi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Chahal believes splitting the city into six districts allowed him to campaign effectively in his smaller district, versus having to spend money on a campaign that would have to cover the entire city. He was able to walk throughout his district to talk to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to areas where nobody has ever seen any people coming to that area,” Chahal said. “I was able to converse with people and I was able to chat with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes that a six-district voting system allows people who come from outside of politics to represent their district and fight for change from a grassroots level.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Measure C Does\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Judge Kuhnle’s court order technically only pertains to elections in 2018 and 2020. So, what does that mean for elections in the future?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter Measure C. In future years, the measure would shrink the number of districts from six to three, with two council members in each. It would also require council candidates to live in the districts they’re representing, for at least 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council member Teresa O’Neill supports the measure because having two council members per district could be good for voter representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you only had one person to go to, and if they weren’t available for whatever reason, you might feel unrepresented,” O’Neill said. “But at least, if you had two people that you knew came from your section of the city, that would give you, once again, another chance to have more direct representation from the council.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an idea that voters have rejected before. In the 2018 primary, before Judge Kuhnle released his final decision, the City Council proposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/06/05/santa-clara-voters-approve-measure-a-switch-to-district-elections/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Measure A\u003c/a> which would split the city into two districts: north and south. Each district would have multiple representatives. It was rejected by 52% of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, O’Neill believes Measure C is a good compromise. If it passes, the council members would be up for election every two years, which means people could vote on a City Council member during gubernatorial or presidential cycles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because different groups of people vote in gubernatorial versus presidential elections, “you might get better representation or a more distributed representation in that methodology rather than having six districts with just one person,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The 49ers Owner Joins the Fight Against Measure C\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Teresa O’Neill, Santa Clara City Council member\"]“I find it somewhat disingenuous that [the 49ers] say they’re doing this because of civil rights. I would ask the people of Santa Clara to consider other things that have happened between the 49ers and the City of Santa Clara.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fight over the city’s district lines has become one of the most expensive campaigns in the Bay Area, thanks to the San Francisco 49ers. The football team plays in Santa Clara and the 49ers owner, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6788983-Filing-497.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jed York, has spent more than $330,000 to defeat Measure C\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman O’Neill thinks the donations are motivated by the team’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/02/12/santa-clara-now-wants-to-strip-49ers-management-of-levis-entirely-including-football/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rocky relationship\u003c/a> with the City Council over the management of Levi’s Stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I find it somewhat disingenuous that [the 49ers] say they’re doing this because of civil rights,” she said. “I would ask the people of Santa Clara to consider other things that have happened between the 49ers and the City of Santa Clara.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilman Chahal disagrees. He says the 49ers are standing for a real cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re doing anything illegal, then yes, hold them responsible. I’m all for it,” Chahal said. “But if they’re doing the legal thing, I don’t know. It’s up to the residents and the voters to decide what’s wrong and what’s right in that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Dark Money Concerns\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Like other city leaders, Santa Clara City Clerk Hosam Haggag is also skeptical of the 49ers support of the fight against Measure C and fears that they may have engaged in dark money practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Hosam Haggag, Santa Clara city clerk\"]“Had I not sent that letter, nobody would have known where that political activity was coming from and who was behind it, which is the definition of dark money and is potentially a violation of our ordinance.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Residents received an anonymous push poll trying to influence them against Measure C back in December,” Haggag said. “Based on a tip I received, I sent warning letters to the 49ers and their political consultants for failure to disclose their political activity and informing them of a potential violation of the dark money ordinance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, the city of Santa Clara \u003ca href=\"https://www.santaclaraca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/39901/3171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passed\u003c/a> a \u003ca href=\"https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/SantaClara/#!/SantaClara02/SantaClara02130.html#2.130.340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“dark money ordinance”\u003c/a>, which requires contributions of $100 from any organization to be reported as campaign contributions. Shortly after receiving Haggag’s warning letter, the 49ers filed paperwork for their campaign committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Had I not sent that letter, nobody would have known where that political activity was coming from and who was behind it, which is the definition of dark money and is potentially a violation of our ordinance,” Haggag said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>An Ongoing Lawsuit\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Judge Kuhnle’s ruling in the 2018 case was appealed by the city and is still making its way through the appellate court. That decision won’t be made until after the March 3 elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Measure C doesn’t pass, there’s uncertainty as to how we elect our council members after the 2020 election,” Haggag said. “Because the court’s ruling is under appeal, if the appellate court overturns the ruling, the city would default back to at-large voting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11803534\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Rubin, a civil rights attorney, filed the initial complaint against Santa Clara in 2011 arguing the voting system was discriminatory. He doesn’t agree with Haggag on that sequence of events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s just folly,” he said. “A no-vote is not going to reinstate an at-large system because the court that we’re in front of already found that system to be illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In recent years, Santa Clara’s minority population (especially from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/13/us/13bcwriter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Asian American\u003c/a> communities) has grown, but its City Council has remained predominantly white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That changed in 2018, after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11437363/santa-clara-considers-changing-local-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal complaint\u003c/a> was filed against the city for its voting system, one of\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2019/01/02/the_massive_election_change_in_california_youve_likely_never_heard_of.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dozens of challenges\u003c/a> to at-large elections across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Thomas E. Kuhnle found that the city’s at-large voting system diluted Asian votes and therefore violated the California Voting Rights Act. In a court order, he ruled the city must be divided into six districts, where each City Council member would represent an individual district. In November 2018, Raj Chahal won the District 2 seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I’m the first Asian American, Indian Sikh on the council ever,” Chahal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803894\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803894\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Councilman Raj Chahal speaks at a press conference, hosted by the Asian Law Alliance, against Measure C. Chahal is the first Asian American to serve on the Santa Clara City Council. \u003ccite>(Adhiti Bandlamudi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Chahal believes splitting the city into six districts allowed him to campaign effectively in his smaller district, versus having to spend money on a campaign that would have to cover the entire city. He was able to walk throughout his district to talk to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to areas where nobody has ever seen any people coming to that area,” Chahal said. “I was able to converse with people and I was able to chat with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes that a six-district voting system allows people who come from outside of politics to represent their district and fight for change from a grassroots level.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Measure C Does\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Judge Kuhnle’s court order technically only pertains to elections in 2018 and 2020. So, what does that mean for elections in the future?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter Measure C. In future years, the measure would shrink the number of districts from six to three, with two council members in each. It would also require council candidates to live in the districts they’re representing, for at least 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council member Teresa O’Neill supports the measure because having two council members per district could be good for voter representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you only had one person to go to, and if they weren’t available for whatever reason, you might feel unrepresented,” O’Neill said. “But at least, if you had two people that you knew came from your section of the city, that would give you, once again, another chance to have more direct representation from the council.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an idea that voters have rejected before. In the 2018 primary, before Judge Kuhnle released his final decision, the City Council proposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/06/05/santa-clara-voters-approve-measure-a-switch-to-district-elections/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Measure A\u003c/a> which would split the city into two districts: north and south. Each district would have multiple representatives. It was rejected by 52% of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, O’Neill believes Measure C is a good compromise. If it passes, the council members would be up for election every two years, which means people could vote on a City Council member during gubernatorial or presidential cycles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because different groups of people vote in gubernatorial versus presidential elections, “you might get better representation or a more distributed representation in that methodology rather than having six districts with just one person,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The 49ers Owner Joins the Fight Against Measure C\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Also in the running is Johnny Khamis, a San Jose councilman running as an independent. The top-two finishers, regardless of party, will advance to the general election in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The candidates' impressive resumes, combined with an avalanche of spending, has made the race one of the most intriguing contests on the March 3 primary ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Michael Terris, political strategist\"]'A race like this is wide open.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A race like this is wide open,\" said political strategist Michael Terris, a partner at TBWB Strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time since 2012, the 15th District seat has no incumbent; Democrat Jim Beall is termed out after serving the last eight years in the state Senate and the six years before that in the Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beall was a fixture in South Bay politics.

His campaign has been buttressed by an additional $298,041 from independent expenditures, mostly from pro-labor super PACs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cortese has carved out a position as the most traditionally liberal and pro-labor candidate in the race. He is the only candidate in the field who supported Assembly Bill 5, which ushered in California's recent labor law changes for independent contractors. He's also the lone candidate to back a potential November ballot measure to change part of Proposition 13, the controversial 1978 tax measure, by raising property taxes for certain businesses but leaving residential tax rates as is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"election2020\"]\"I've actually opposed it in every campaign except this one,\" Cortese said of the \"split-roll\" proposal. \"I don't think commercial property owners should get the same protections and benefits as an elderly couple on fixed income who are trying to stay in their home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cortese has also taken a more aggressive position than his competitors around changing local zoning laws to spur housing construction.

He is the only candidate in the field who supported Assembly Bill 5, which ushered in California's recent labor law changes for independent contractors. He's also the lone candidate to back a potential November ballot measure to change part of Proposition 13, the controversial 1978 tax measure, by raising property taxes for certain businesses but leaving residential tax rates as is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They found pockets of excessive force -- though no systemic problem. But they faulted the sheriff for insufficient staffing and training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neusel says the problem became more acute because the number of mentally ill inmates in jails has increased dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you need more psychiatrists, you need more doctors, and you have a higher percentage of seriously mentally ill in our inmate population -- then the custody deputies are faced with a difficult challenge,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in February 2016, new deputies were required to complete a weeklong training in crisis intervention. All staff are required to take a two-day course on how to de-escalate conflict with inmates who suffer from mental illness. A spokesman with the sheriff’s office says they anticipate all badged correctional officers will complete the course by June 30, 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neusel says the department has noticed a decrease in the use-of-force complaints from inmates and the number of inmate assaults on staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But jail staffing vacancies have actually increased since 2015, from 12 to 15 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Santa Clara Advocates Nearing Agreement on Use-of-Force Policy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a \u003ca href=\"http://prisonlaw.com/major-cases/\" target=\"_blank\">lawsuit\u003c/a> brought by inmate advocates with the Prison Law Office prompted negotiations for a new use-of-force policy inside the jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To her credit, the sheriff is taking a very progressive response,” says the nonprofit's director, Don Specter, who could not reveal specifics on the new policy, “There’s much more emphasis on de-escalation, rather than using force to respond to incidents. Much more emphasis on making sure that if force has to be used, it's the least amount of force possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors is also championing jail reform, including convening what became known as the Blue Ribbon Commission on Improving Custody Operations in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaDoris Cordell, a retired judge who led that effort, says disturbing evidence emerged of widespread \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/23/santa-clara-county-jail-report-finds-widespread-complaints-of-inmate-abuse/\" target=\"_blank\">abuse\u003c/a> of inmates with little accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordell says that points to problems at the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It took a murder to get things looked at the way any good leader should have looked at this.” Cordell says. “There should have never been the necessity for a blue-ribbon commission if the person running the operations of the jail was truly paying attention and cared about what was going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 12, 2016, the commission presented more than 100 recommendations for supervisors to consider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Topping that list, “an immediate change in leadership” and the creation of an office of inspector general to provide civilian oversight of the jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, neither has happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Joe Simitian convened a \u003ca href=\"http://sccgov.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=8032\" target=\"_blank\">panel\u003c/a> in September 2016 to discuss some of the options for civilian oversight, and says he hopes the board will approve a plan by summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says people who want to see safer jails need to remain vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too easy in the aftermath of a tragedy like this for people to wring their hands, or to raise their voices, express their concern and then watch the issue sort of slip away,” Simitian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He created a system for \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/scc/pages/jail-reforms.aspx\">tracking\u003c/a> more than 500 recommendations submitted by various agencies and community groups to ensure that supervisors consider and act on each one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simitian says real reform won’t happen in weeks or even months, but will take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An organization of this size and complexity is going to require constant attention if we’re going to make sure the things that need to be fixed have been fixed,\" he says. \"And that once they’re fixed, they stay fixed.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He did receive medication, but that’s the only treatment that he did. And it’s bad enough that you’re going to neglect somebody, but this isn’t a case of neglect. This is basically a case of abuse and torture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sheriff's \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/da/newsroom/newsreleases/Documents/SOF%20-%20Farris%20-%20Lubrin%20-%20Rodriguez.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">investigation \u003c/a> found that on the night of Tyree’s death, the three accused deputies entered his cell. Witnesses say they then heard Tyree screaming, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Stop.” They also heard \"sounds of thumping, wall banging and what sounded like blows on a person's body.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county medical examiner said Tyree had died of blunt force trauma that ruptured his spleen and liver, causing him to bleed to death internally -- injuries he could not have inflicted on himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How Could This Happen?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyree’s murder led to soul-searching and a series of investigations about the treatment of inmates in Santa Clara jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt very angry and ashamed,” says Santa Clara County Undersheriff Carl Neusel. “We took great pride in hiring the best and in holding our employees accountable, and we thought we had a first-class county jail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neusel says the sheriff immediately increased supervision by adding a lieutenant and sergeant on the overnight shift during which Tyree was killed and installing cameras on the jail floor where Tyree died.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nThe department also reviewed all inmate use-of-force complaints against deputies for 2015 and found that deputies who worked that shift — known as D shift — received the most complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a 2016 grand jury \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/sheriff/jail-reforms/Documents/Civil%20Grand%20Jury%20Report%20Addressing%20Mental%20Illness%20in%20Santa%20Clara%20County%20Jails.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a>, 43 percent of inmate complaints of excessive force were filed against deputies on the D shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff brought in \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/sheriff/jail-reforms/Documents/Departmentof%20Justice's%20National%20Institue%20of%20Corrections%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">federal monitors\u003c/a> from the National Institute of Corrections to determine whether the jail’s work culture encouraged mistreatment of inmates. They found pockets of excessive force -- though no systemic problem. But they faulted the sheriff for insufficient staffing and training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neusel says the problem became more acute because the number of mentally ill inmates in jails has increased dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you need more psychiatrists, you need more doctors, and you have a higher percentage of seriously mentally ill in our inmate population -- then the custody deputies are faced with a difficult challenge,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in February 2016, new deputies were required to complete a weeklong training in crisis intervention. All staff are required to take a two-day course on how to de-escalate conflict with inmates who suffer from mental illness. A spokesman with the sheriff’s office says they anticipate all badged correctional officers will complete the course by June 30, 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neusel says the department has noticed a decrease in the use-of-force complaints from inmates and the number of inmate assaults on staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But jail staffing vacancies have actually increased since 2015, from 12 to 15 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Santa Clara Advocates Nearing Agreement on Use-of-Force Policy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a \u003ca href=\"http://prisonlaw.com/major-cases/\" target=\"_blank\">lawsuit\u003c/a> brought by inmate advocates with the Prison Law Office prompted negotiations for a new use-of-force policy inside the jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To her credit, the sheriff is taking a very progressive response,” says the nonprofit's director, Don Specter, who could not reveal specifics on the new policy, “There’s much more emphasis on de-escalation, rather than using force to respond to incidents. Much more emphasis on making sure that if force has to be used, it's the least amount of force possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors is also championing jail reform, including convening what became known as the Blue Ribbon Commission on Improving Custody Operations in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaDoris Cordell, a retired judge who led that effort, says disturbing evidence emerged of widespread \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/23/santa-clara-county-jail-report-finds-widespread-complaints-of-inmate-abuse/\" target=\"_blank\">abuse\u003c/a> of inmates with little accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cordell says that points to problems at the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It took a murder to get things looked at the way any good leader should have looked at this.” Cordell says. “There should have never been the necessity for a blue-ribbon commission if the person running the operations of the jail was truly paying attention and cared about what was going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 12, 2016, the commission presented more than 100 recommendations for supervisors to consider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Topping that list, “an immediate change in leadership” and the creation of an office of inspector general to provide civilian oversight of the jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, neither has happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Joe Simitian convened a \u003ca href=\"http://sccgov.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=8032\" target=\"_blank\">panel\u003c/a> in September 2016 to discuss some of the options for civilian oversight, and says he hopes the board will approve a plan by summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says people who want to see safer jails need to remain vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s too easy in the aftermath of a tragedy like this for people to wring their hands, or to raise their voices, express their concern and then watch the issue sort of slip away,” Simitian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He created a system for \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/scc/pages/jail-reforms.aspx\">tracking\u003c/a> more than 500 recommendations submitted by various agencies and community groups to ensure that supervisors consider and act on each one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simitian says real reform won’t happen in weeks or even months, but will take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
