Aunque todos podemos apreciar las insuficiencias de la nueva ley, la suma de avances graduales y pro gresivos llevan al país en la dirección correcta. Y muchas de nuestras comunidades más afectadas por los fenómenos meteorológicos, --incendios permanentes, inunda ciones, aire contaminado y aguas sucias-- simplemente no pueden esperar a una ley perfecta.

2 EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com AUG 12 - AUG 18, 2022

Starting next week, the United States will take a historic step toward beginning what we hope will be an irreversible path to a truly green economy, thanks to the approval of the most ambi tious investments in clean and af fordable energy, and aggressive actions against climate change. Although it was baptized as ´The Inflation Reduction Law´, more for political reasons than for its real impact on the economy, the new legislation opens the door to a sus tainable future: cleaner water and air, better access to public health and communities more resilient to weather events, especially com munities of color, such as Latinos and blacks, who are the most vul nerable to climate injustices. Does that mean that it is perfect legislation and a solution to all en vironmental problems? No. In the words of Bernie Sanders: The fos sil fuel industry will receive billions of dollars in new tax breaks and subsidies over the next 10 years. It is certainly worrying, as Bernie points out, to lay the groundwork for a healthy and habitable planet by taxing the very fossil fuel com panies responsible for global warming. For example, the law will put up to 60 million acres of public waters up for sale each year to the oil and gas industry before the fed eral government can approve any new offshore wind development. But remembering that ‘the perfect is the enemy of the good’, the vast majority of environmental organi zations agree that the new legisla tion is a step in the right direction. The Democrats must have known better than anyone. On the issue of migration, politicians who only sup port a comprehensive immigration reform or nothing, have empty hands today. In the case of the law, as Lori Lodes, CEO of Climate Power, points out, the legislation makes extensive in vestments in America's manufac turing industry, creating countless jobs to build the next generation of clean power plants, cars and build Anotherings. milestone: $64 billion was passed to extend the life of the Af fordable Care Act, better known as Obama Care, through 2025, and nearly $300 billion can be saved by allowing the Medicare program to renegotiate drug prices with the big pharmaceutical companies for the first Althoughtime.we can all appreciate the shortcomings of the new law, the sum of gradual and progres sive advances take the country in the right direction. And many of our communities most affected by weather events--permanent fires, floods, polluted air and dirty water-simply can't wait for a perfect law. Jose, CA

Pero no se trata de hacer lo per fecto enemigo de lo bueno. La gran mayoría de organizaciones ambien talistas coinciden que la nueva leg islación es un paso adelante en la dirección correcta. Los demócratas debían saberlo mejor que nadie. En el tema de migración, los políticos que sólo apoyan una reforma migra toria integral o nada, tienen hoy las manos vacías. En el caso de la ley, como indica Lori Lodes, Directora Ejecutiva de Climate Power, la legislación realiza amplias inversiones en la industria manufacturera estadounidense, creando innumerables puestos de trabajo para construir la próxima generación de centrales eléctricas, carros y edificios limpios.

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana Apartir de la próxima semana, Estados Unidos dará un paso histórico hacia el inicio de lo que esperamos sea un camino irreversible hacia una auténtica economía verde, gracias a la apro bación de las más ambiciosas in versiones hacia las energías limpias y asequibles, y acciones agresivas contra el cambio climático. Aunque fue bautizada como ´La Ley de Reducción Inflacionaria´, más por motivos políticos que por su im pacto real en la economía, la nueva legislación abre la puerta a un futuro sustentable: agua y aire más limpios, mejor acceso a la salud pública y comunidades más resistentes a los fenómenos meteorológicos, espe cialmente las comunidades de color, como la latina y la negra, las más vul nerables a las injusticas climáticas. ¿Eso quiere decir que es una legis lación perfecta y una solución a to dos los problemas ambientales? No. En palabras de Bernie Sanders: La industria de los combustibles fósiles recibirá miles de millones de dólares en nuevas exenciones fiscales y subsidios durante los próximos 10 Esaños.sin duda preocupante, como apunta Bernie, sentar las bases de un planeta saludable y habitable con privilegios fiscales a las mismas empresas de combustibles fósiles responsables del calentamiento global. La ley pondrá por ejemplo a la venta hasta 60 millones de acres de aguas públicas todos los años a la industria del petróleo y el gas an tes de que el gobierno federal pu eda aprobar cualquier nuevo desar rollo eólico marino.

Durante estas fechas que mar can cambios en el planeta, se celebran ceremonias durante las cuales, los creyentes piden a las fuerzas del universo lo que necesitan para alcanzar sus deseos, presentando al mismo tiempo diversas ofrendas a las Wiccadivinidades.esuna religión alternativa que no practica el proselitismo. La religión simboliza una eterna afirmación de la vida, tiene sus propias creencias, objetos re ligiosos, rituales y normas que difieren de otras creencias. En la actualidad esta religión se ha extendido en todo el mundo, siendo bienvenida en el corazón de millones que le consideran un arte religioso, que enseña a sus creyentes a vivir en balance con el universo y lo divino.

Antiguamente los practicantes de Wicca, rendían mayor culto a la diosa, actualmente la religión ha evolucionado encontrando el balance ideal al venerar a ambas divinidades por igual. Además también se veneran otras dei dades de la antigüedad como aspectos de ambos dioses. A los practicantes de Wicca se les conoce usualmente como paganos o neopaganos, ter mino mal interpretado durante más de dos mil años, pagano se deriva del latín "paganus" y significa morador del campo. Wicca es una religión ligada di rectamente a la naturaleza y se puede ser por ejemplo cristiano y Wicca al mismo tiempo. Fechas especiales En todo calendario religioso se conmemoran fechas especiales en las que se observa el aniver sario de acontecimientos divin os como la natividad, la semana santa o el Ramadan. Wicca rememora rituales re ligiosos al menos en veintiún ocasiones durante el año. Trece celebraciones de Luna llena lo que se conoce como “Esbats”, dedicados a la diosa y ocho “Sabbats” o festivales solares, ofrendados al dios.

CREENCIAS DE LA RELIGIÓN WICCA Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador Esta antiquísima religión venera a dos divinidades principales, se acepta la magia como manifestación divina, se rinde tributo y rever encia al planeta, al que se con sidera un ser viviente.

El principal propósito de las cre encias Wicca, es desarrollar una estrecha relación con las mani festaciones divinas, por ello se practica la magia, para hacer florecer la relación entre el hom bre y la divinidad. Cánticos, cer emonias y danzas especiales son ofrecidas con solemnidad al dios y a la diosa. Wicca puede catalogarse como una religión mística, naturalista, no es una religión organizada, ni cuenta con capillas para cel ebrar sus ceremonias, aun así, existen grupos de miembros activos que protegen y defien den a los creyentes de cualquier tipo de abuso, injusticia o dis Lacriminación.diosayel dios La diosa representa la fertilidad, feminidad y el amor.

Cuando recordó la carta de 2021 que recibió de Becerra pidiendo más dinero, McCarty todavía se mostró escéptico.

Una persona que llamó al 911 le dijo a la Policía que el hombre estaba amenazan do a la gente en la mañana del 15 de julio de 2021, blandiendo lo que parecía ser una pistola en un concurrido lugar turísti co. El objeto en su mano resultó ser un encendedor con empuñadura de pistola. El tiroteo fatal fue la primera prueba de una ley que requiere que el Departa mento de Justicia investigue los tiroteos policiales contra civiles desarmados. Los agentes tendrían que entrevistar a tes tigos, marcar evidencia y buscar en los negocios cercanos imágenes de vigilan cia, según documentos que detallan la respuesta del estado. El presupuesto del departamento para estos complejos equipos de investig ación de tiroteos asignó tres agentes; el departamento envió 12. Aun así, los funcionarios judiciales dirían más tarde que no fue suficiente y llama ron a su despliegue “inadecuado”. “Hubo docenas de tareas y asignaciones que los… agentes especiales no pudieron realizar debido a la escasez de personal”, escribió el departamento en una solicitud de presupuesto enviada a la Legislatura en Duranteenero.décadas, la supervisión policial en California comenzó y terminó dentro de un departamento local. Rara vez inter vino el Estado. Eso ha cambiado. Después de que Ste phon Clark, que estaba desarmado, fuera asesinado a tiros por agentes de Policía de Sacramento en 2018, los legisladores estatales comenzaron a desempeñar un papel más activo en la rendición de cuen tas de la policía y aprobaron varios man datos estatales destinados a mejorar la vigilancia policial en California. Desde entonces, han recurrido tanto al Depar tamento de Justicia como a la California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) para nuevas funcio Perones. los plazos ambiciosos, las nuevas responsabilidades laborales y la finan ciación retrasada están poniendo a prue ba los límites de ambas agencias, dicen los funcionarios.

“Cada vez se imponen cargas adiciona les al personal muy limitado de la (Oficina de Investigación) y la (Oficina de Servi cios Forenses)”, escribió un empleado del Departamento de Justicia al Fiscal General en abril de 2021, según correos electrónicos redactados obtenidos por “YaCalMatters.estamos estirados increíblemente a lo más delgado posible”.

La investigación del tiroteo en Hollywood Boulevard sigue abierta, al igual que las otras 20 investigaciones del Departa mento de Justicia sobre el tiroteo de ci viles desarmados.

Desde 2016, los agentes de Policía han disparado y matado a un promedio de 140 personas en California cada año. De las personas asesinadas, unas 20 están desarmadas, 10 tienen una réplica de un arma de fuego y otras 10 tienen objetos que pueden no calificar como armas le Esotales.equivale a alrededor de 40 investig aciones de disparos de civiles desarma dos cada año.

La larga sombra de George Floyd Cuando el gobernador Gavin Newsom firmó el proyecto de ley de tiroteos con la participación de un oficial en septiem bre de 2020, cuatro meses después del asesinato de George Floyd por parte de la policía de Minneapolis, fue una leg islación políticamente importante para el gobernador y para el entonces fiscal general Xavier Becerra. El fiscal general actual, Rob Bonta, también apoyó el plan cuando aún estaba en la Legislatura. Pero meses antes de que la ley entrara en vigencia el 1 de julio, se colocaron se ñales de advertencia internamente en el Departamento de Justicia.

ESPAÑOL NUEVAS LEYES DE RENDICIÓN DE CUENTAS DE LA POLICÍA AUMENTAN LAS EXIGENCIAS A LAS AGENCIAS ESTATALES

Las nuevas leyes estatales sobre responsabilidad policial están poniendo a prueba los límites de varias agencias, incluido el Departamento de Justicia, que dicen que necesitan más recursos para estas nuevas funciones

La California Commission on Peace Of ficer Standards and Training ha enfren tado desafíos similares. Una pequeña agencia recibió grandes deberes nuevos En los últimos cinco años, muchas

Los agentes del Departamento de Justicia de California se dieron cuenta de que estaban faltos de personal apenas unas horas después de que un oficial de Policía de Los Ángeles matara a tiros a un hombre desarmado en Hollywood Boulevard.

Ambas agencias fueron reorientadas por la legislación. Para el Departamento de Justicia, su nuevo papel llegó con el Proyecto de Ley 1506 de la Asamblea, que exige que sus agentes investiguen cada tiroteo de un civil desarmado en el que participe un oficial. A partir del próxi mo año, a pedido de una agencia de apli cación de la ley, se supone que el estado también comenzará a revisar la política de uso de la fuerza de la agencia local y hará recomendaciones.

-KEVIN MCCARTY, ASAMBLEÍSTA DEMÓCRATA DE SACRAMENTO La asignación presupuestaria de $13 millones “es significativamente más baja que nuestras estimaciones y no tiene su ficientes recursos para formar equipos profesionales para realizar estas nuevas funciones de investigación y procesa miento”, le escribió Becerra a McCarty en enero de 2021. “Como resultado, el Departamento de Justicia tendrá una ca pacidad limitada para implementar este proyecto de ley, sin redirigir los recursos de otros trabajos obligatorios esenciales, lo que podría comprometer esas opera McCartyciones”. dijo recientemente a CalMatters que el Departamento de Justicia debería ser capaz de encontrar una manera de financiar el programa. “El Departamento de Justicia es una agencia multimillonaria”, dijo McCarty. “Tienen muchas otras fuentes de finan ciación para pagarlo, y podemos llegar a un acuerdo después”.

El departamento tenía 5,008 empleados en junio, según la Contraloría. El Departa mento de Justicia se negó a proporcio nar la cantidad de empleados en cada categoría de trabajo, incluidos aquellos que serían asignados a investigaciones de tiroteos involucradas por oficiales. “La implementación de AB 1506 ha im puesto absolutamente nuevas deman das en todo el Departamento de Justicia de California y toda la oficina, según sea necesario, se ha ajustado admirable mente a las nuevas responsabilidades”, escribió un portavoz del departamento en un correo electrónico a CalMatters.

“Eso es ridículo. Es por eso que pasamos (agregando más dinero al presupuesto del Departamento de Justicia)”, dijo. “A diferencia de estas hipótesis, ¿por qué no haces el trabajo durante un año y ves cuánto dinero cuesta realmente?”

La California Commission on Peace Of ficer Standards and Training no cumplió con su fecha límite este año para que los departamentos de Policía se pusieran al día con la evaluación de prejuicios re cientemente requerida para los solici tantes de Policía. A la comisión también se le ha otorgado nueva autoridad para descertificar a los oficiales de Policía, una responsabilidad que está remodelando la comisión que antes era de bajo perfil.

El Departamento de Justicia pidió $26 millones para pagar los nuevos equipos de investigación de tiroteos. La Legisla tura asignó la mitad de eso, unos $13 mil Becerralones. se quejó de esa discrepancia con el autor del proyecto de ley, el asam bleísta demócrata Kevin McCarty de Sacramento.

“El Departamento de Justicia es una agencia multimillonaria. Tienen muchas otras fuentes de financiación para pagarlo, y podemos llegar a un acuerdo después”.

“There were dozens of tasks and assignments that the … special agents could not accomplish because of limited staffing,” the department wrote in a budget request submitted to the Leg islature in January.

The long shadow of George Floyd

When the Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the offi cer-involved shooting bill in September 2020 — four months after the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police — it was a politically impor tant piece of legislation to the governor and to then Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Current Attorney General Rob Bonta also supported the plan while still in the Legislature. But months before the law went into effect on July 1, warning signs went up internally at the Justice “AdditionalDepartment.burdens are increasingly being placed on the very limited staff of the (Bureau of Investigation) and (Bureau of Forensic Services),” one Justice Department employee wrote to the Attorney General in April 2021, according to re dacted emails obtained by CalMatters.

California’s Commission on Peace Officer Stan dards and Training missed its deadline this year to get police departments up to speed on newlyrequired bias screening for police applicants. The commission has also been given new authority to decertify police officers, a responsibility that is reshaping the previously low-profile commission. Both agencies were redirected by legislation. For the Justice Department, its new role came with Assembly Bill 1506, which mandates that its agents investigate each officer-involved shooting of an unarmed civilian. Beginning next year, upon request of a law enforcement agency, the state is also supposed to begin reviewing the local agency’s use of force policy and make recom mendations.

directivas estatales destinadas a me jorar las operaciones policiales en California llegaron ante la comisión. La agencia relativamente pequeña, con al rededor de 120 empleados, es conocida por capacitar y certificar a los oficiales de Policía, pero esa descripción del tra bajo se está expandiendo rápidamente, a menudo con plazos ajustados. Por ejemplo, a fines de 2020, los legisla dores aprobaron el Proyecto de Ley 846, que obliga a las agencias policiales a detectar prejuicios durante la evaluación psicológica de un potencial agente. La comisión se encargó de crear materiales de detección de prejuicios antes del 1 de enero de 2022. Ellos no cumplieron con el plazo. (En un giro extraño, un error administrativo leg islativo eliminó inadvertidamente el man dato de detección de prejuicios de la ley, aunque eso se está remediando). “Un año parece mucho tiempo, pero no lo es cuando se trata de regulaciones”, dijo Melani Singley de POST, quien administra todas las regulaciones y orientación para los oficiales de Policía. “La línea de tiempo hace que sea un desafío desarrollar algo que cumpla con la intención de la ley”. En mayo de 2022, los cambios finales de la agencia fueron aprobados por su comisión supervisora. Ahora, mientras la Legislatura se apresura a restablecer el mandato de detección de prejuicios, la comisión espera que la regulación entre en vigencia el 1 de agosto. “Un año parece mucho tiempo, pero no lo es cuando se trata de regulaciones”.

A los analistas estatales también les pre ocupa que la pequeña organización no pueda hacer un cambio tan drástico tan rápida y eficientemente como espera la “POSTLegislatura.probablemente enfrentará de safíos significativos para implementar la SB 2, principalmente debido al hecho de que la dotación de personal de la comis ión deberá duplicarse aproximadamente para el 1 de enero de 2023, solo seis me ses después de recibir fondos en el pre supuesto…”, escribió la Oficina de Analis tas Legislativos en un informe a principios de este Mientrasaño.tanto, varios comisionistas di jeron a CalMatters que todavía son cau telosamente optimistas de que cumplirán la fecha límite para instituir el primer pro ceso de descertificación policial en la his toria de California. “Una de las grandes incógnitas para no sotros es el volumen de datos y el volu men de revisiones e investigaciones que habrá”, dijo Álvarez. “Nunca hemos re copilado ese tipo de datos”. Este artículo fue publicado originalmente por CalMatters.

But ambitious deadlines, new job responsibilities and delayed funding are testing the limits of both agencies, officials say. The shooting investigation on Hollywood Boule vard is still open, as are all 20 other Justice De partment investigations into the shooting of un armed civilians.

ESPAÑOL ENGLISH NEW POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY LAWS UP THE DEMANDS ON STATE AGENCIES

“We are already stretched incredibly thin.”

Even so, justice officials would later say, it wasn’t enough — calling their deployment “inadequate.”

The Justice Department asked for $26 million to pay for the new shooting investigation teams. The Legislature allotted half of that, about $13 mil Becerralion. complained about that discrepancy to the bill’s author, Democrat Assemblymember Kevin McCarty of Sacramento. “The Department of Justice is a multi-billiondollar agency. They have lots of other fund ing sources to pay for it, and we can settle up afterward.”

Nigel Duara & Byrhonda Lyons CalMatters

“…hay poca evidencia para demostrar qué tipos de capacitación realmente lo gran los objetivos previstos y tienen un impacto positivo en el comportamiento policial, y cuáles no”, escribió Pedro Nava, presidente de la Comisión Little Hoover. En cambio, la Comisión Little Hoover re comendó que California evalúe sus req uisitos actuales de capacitación policial.

California Department of Justice agents re alized they were short-handed just hours after a Los Angeles police officer shot and killed an unarmed man on Hollywood Boulevard.

A 911 caller told police the man was threatening people on the morning of July 15, 2021, waving what appeared to be a pistol in a busy tourist pocket. The object in his hand turned out to be a lighter with a pistol grip. The fatal shooting was the first test of a law requiring the Justice Department to investi gate police shootings of unarmed civilians. The agents would need to interview witnesses, mark evidence and canvass nearby businesses for surveillance footage, according to documents detailing the state’s response. The department’s budget for these complex shooting investigation teams allotted three agents; the department sent 12.

Varios estados, incluidos Mississippi, Ala bama y Montana, ya tienen procesos de descertificación en marcha. ¿Está sobrecargada la comisión? Si bien la descertificación de la Policía es uno de los cambios más significativos que ha experimentado la comisión, algu nos expresan su preocupación sobre si el estado está sobrecargando la agencia, que es supervisada por una junta que se reúne varias veces al año. En un informe dirigido al gobernador y la Legislatura, la Comisión Little Hoover re comendó a los legisladores “abstenerse temporalmente” de exigir nuevos requisi tos de capacitación.

-MELANI SINGLEY, COMISIÓN DE ES TÁNDARES Y CAPACITACIÓN DE OFI CIALES DE PAZ Otros deberes nuevos se están acumu lando. Durante años, la comisión pro medió algunos proyectos de ley al año. Hoy en día, dijo el director ejecutivo de POST, Manny Alvarez, “estamos abor dando mucho más ahora que nunca”. Entre 2015 y 2020, los legisladores in trodujeron aproximadamente nueve proyectos de ley de capacitación de ofi ciales al año, casi el doble del promedio entre 2010 y 2014. según un estudio de la Comisión Little Hoover, una agencia de supervisión estatal independiente. “Es mucho trabajo para un pequeño número de personas”, dijo Singley. Pero pronto la comisión será mayor. Con una nueva directiva que otorga a la comisión autoridad para descertificar a los oficiales de Policía, lo cual fue pro mulgada por el Proyecto de Ley 2 del Senado, se espera que la agencia casi duplique su tamaño en los próximos seis meses después de recibir un aumento de fondos de aproximadamente el 32 % a principios de este mes. “Estamos contratando”, dijo la portavoz Meagan Poulos. En solo unos meses, la agencia que se ocupaba casi exclusivamente de la Policía también interactuará con el público, ya que los ciudadanos y los departamentos policiales presentarán sus casos con re specto a los presuntos malos agentes. La comisión investigará oficiales acusados de mala conducta grave y recomendar si un oficial debe ser descertificado.

For decades, police oversight in California began and ended within a local department. Rarely did the state step in. That has changed. After unarmed Stephon Clark was shot and killed by Sacramento police of ficers in 2018, state lawmakers began taking a more active role in police accountability, passing several statewide mandates aimed at improving policing in California. Since then, they’ve tapped both the Department of Justice and California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) for new duties.

9EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.comAUG 12 - AUG 18, 2022 COMMUNITY

New state laws on police accountability are testing the limits of several agencies, including the Department of Justice, which say they need more resources for these new duties.

State analysts also are concerned the small or ganization will not be able to make such a drastic shift as quickly and efficiently as the Legislature may “POSTexpect.willlikely face significant challenges im plementing SB 2, primarily due to the fact that the commission’s staffing will need to roughly double by January 1, 2023 — only six months after re ceiving funding in the budget…” wrote the Legis lative Analyst’s Office in a report earlier this year.

“…there is little evidence to demonstrate which types of training actually achieve intended goals and positively impact police behavior — and which do not,” wrote Pedro Nava, chairperson for the Little Hoover Commission.

Since 2016, police officers have shot and killed an average of 140 people in California each year. Of the people killed, about 20 are unarmed, 10 have a replica firearm and another 10 have objects that may not qualify as deadly weapons. That amounts to about 40 shooting investiga tions of unarmed civilians each year.

10 EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com AUG 12 - AUG 18, 2022COMMUNITY

Several states, including Mississippi, Alabama and Montana, already have decertification pro cesses in place. Is the commission overloaded?

The $13 million budget allocation “is significantly lower than our estimates and not enough re sources to stand up professional teams to per form these new investigative and prosecuto rial duties,” Becerra wrote to McCarty in January 2021. “As a result, the DOJ will have limited ca pacity to implement this bill, short of redirecting resources from other essential, mandated work, which could compromise those operations.”

Instead, the Little Hoover Commission recom mended California evaluate its current police training requirements.

When reminded of the 2021 letter he received from Becerra asking for more money, McCarty was still skeptical. “That’s ridiculous. That’s why we passed on (add ing more money to the DOJ budget),” he said. “As opposed to these hypotheticals, why don’t you do the work for a year and see how much money it actually costs?”

-MELANI SINGLEY, COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING

Other new duties are piling up. For years, the commission averaged a few legislative bills a year. Nowadays, said POST executive director Manny Alvarez, “we’re tackling a lot more now than ever before.”

The latest shooting took place July 15, 2022, in Anaheim, exactly one year after the first shoot ing investigated in Los Angeles by the Justice DividingDepartment.the $13 million budget by the number of open investigations – 21 – the cost of each investigation so far would average $619,000, an amount McCarty said is “enough to do the work.”

Between 2015 and 2020, lawmakers introduced roughly nine officer training bills a year, almost double the average between 2010 and 2014, ac cording to a study by the Little Hoover Commis sion, an independent state oversight agency. “It’s a lot of work for a small number of people,” said Singley. But soon the commission will be larger. With a new directive giving the commission au thority to decertify police officers, which was enacted by Senate Bill 2, the agency is expected to nearly double in size over the next six months after receiving a roughly 32% funding increase earlier this month. “We’re hiring,” said spokesperson Meagan Pou Inlos.just a few months, the agency that almost ex clusively dealt with police will interact with the public as well, as citizens and police departments make their cases regarding alleged bad officers. The commission will investigate officers accused of serious misconduct and recommend if an of ficer should be decertified.

In May 2022, the agency’s final changes were ap proved by its oversight commission. Now, as the Legislature rushes to reinstate the bias screening mandate, the commission is expecting the regu lation to go into effect by Aug. 1. “A year seems like a long time, but it’s not when it comes to regulations.”

The department had 5,008 employees in June, according to the Controller’s Office. The Depart ment of Justice declined to provide the number of employees in each job category, including those who would be assigned to officer-involved shooting “Implementinginvestigations.AB1506 has absolutely imposed new demands on the entire California Depart ment of Justice and the entire office has, as nec essary, adjusted admirably to the new responsi bilities,” a department spokesperson wrote in an email to California’sCalMatters.Commission on Peace Officer Stan dards and Training has had similar challenges.

“A year seems like a long time, but it’s not when it comes to regulations,” said Melani Singley of POST, who manages all regulations and guid ance for police officers. “The timeline makes it challenging to develop something that is going to meet the intent of the law.”

Small agency handed big new duties In the past five years, many state directives aimed at improving police operations in California land ed before the commission. The relatively small agency, with about 120 employees, is known for training and certifying police officers — but that job description is quickly expanding, often under tight deadlines. For instance, in late 2020, legislators passed As sembly Bill 846, forcing police agencies to screen for bias during a potential officer’s psychological evaluation. The commission was tasked with creating bias screening materials by Jan. 1, 2022. They missed the deadline. (In a strange twist, a legislative clerical error inadvertently wiped the bias screening mandate from the law, though that is being remedied.)

ENGLISH BLYMEMBER FROM SACRAMENTO

Meanwhile, several commission workers told CalMatters they are still cautiously optimistic they will make their deadline on instituting the first po lice decertification process in California history. “One of the big unknowns to us is the volume of data and the volume of reviews and investiga tions there will be,” Alvarez said. “We’ve never collected that type of data.”

While police decertification is one of the most significant changes the commission has under gone, some are raising concerns about whether the state is overloading the agency, which is over seen by a board that meets a few times a year.

In a report addressed to the governor and the Legislature, the Little Hoover Commission rec ommended lawmakers “temporarily refrain” from mandating new training requirements.

McCarty recently told CalMatters that the Justice Department should be able to find a way to fund the “Theprogram.Department of Justice is a multi-billiondollar agency,” McCarty said. “They have lots of other funding sources to pay for it, and we can settle up afterward.”

CAZARRECOMPENSAS : LOS ENEMIGOS DE LAS ARMAS Y EL ABORTO RESUCITAN UNA VIEJA POLÍTICA PARA QUE EL MISMO PÚBLICO HAGA CUMPLIR LAS LEYES Y SE BENEFICIE AL HACERLO Nigel CalMattersDuara

Pero, ¿qué tienen que ver los legisladores de la era de la Guerra Civil furiosos por las “mulas enfermas” y la pól vora mojada con el Proyecto de Ley 8, del Senado de Texas , su ley de aborto “latido de corazón”, y el Proyecto de Ley 1327 del Senado de California , que es su ley de armas más reciente? Ellos han activado recompensas, con el estado confian do a sus ciudadanos para hacer cumplir la ley y prom etiendo una remuneración a quienes lo hagan. La ley de Texas, aprobada en 2021, prohíbe los abortos si un médico detecta un latido cardíaco fetal, general mente alrededor de las seis semanas, pero no depende del estado hacerla cumplir. En cambio, las personas en cualquier parte de los Estados Unidos pueden deman dar a cualquiera que haya ayudado a una tejana a abor tar. Las demandas exitosas ofrecen al menos $10,000 por aborto denunciado, y el demandado, no el estado, paga al demandante. Como dijo el presidente del Tribunal Supremo de los EE. UU., John Roberts, la ley era contraria a los derechos de aborto garantizados por Roe vs. Wade, la que entonces era ley en el país. En cambio, escribió en una opinión concurrente : “Texas ha empleado una serie de estrat agemas diseñadas para proteger su ley inconstitucional de la revisión judicial”. Los opositores incluyeron a la industria de las armas de fuego, que comenzó a ponerse nerviosa por las insinu aciones para los propietarios de armas. Efectivamente, para cuando la Corte Suprema de los EE. UU. más tarde descartó el derecho al aborto de Roe, quizás haciendo innecesarias las maquinaciones de Texas, California ya estaba combatiendo con fuego. El mes pasado, el gobernador Gavin Newsom estudi ando una ley de recompensas que apunta no al aborto sino a las armas . Permite a los ciudadanos particulares demandar a cualquier persona por $10,000 por vender, distribuir o importar armas fantasma o armas de asalto . En abril se presentó un nuevo desafío legal a la ley de Texas. Los cambios del derecho a portar armas también han prometido desafiar la ley de California. Confiar en que el pueblo ayudaría a cumplir las leyes y pagarles con recompensas fue una vez la forma en que este país mantuvo las luces encendidas, o al menos, las linternas encendidas. “Antes de tener un estado central realmente fuerte, y antes de tener un servicio civil profesional, muchos ser vicios gubernamentales se brindaron a cambio de una recompensa o pago por servicio”, dijo el profesor de la Facultad de Derecho de Stanford, David Freeman Eng Parastrom.detectar irregularidades en ese entonces, el es tado tenía que depender de que la gente vigilara a sus vecinos, y tal vez los llevara a juicio. Hoy, el gobierno de los EE. UU. recompensa a las per sonas que denuncian contratos de guerra fraudulen tos, terrorismo , violaciones de la ley ambiental federal y fraude a Medicaid. El estado de California ofrece rec ompensas financieras para las personas que deman dan para hacer cumplir su ley de advertencia para tóxi cos que enforza la Proposición 65. Y, por supuesto, está el salto bajo fianza, para el cual todavía tenemos cazarrecompensas “profesionales”, aunque los sujetos de las recompensas bajo fianza firman un contrato renunciando a muchos de sus derechos . No todas las recompensas se pagan en efectivo, dijo Engstrom: según las leyes ambientales federales, una organización sin fines de lucro solo puede recuperar los honorarios de los abogados de una orden judicial exito sa contra un contaminador, o para proteger una especie de rana en peligro de extinción. Pero la organización sin fines de lucro también puede demostrar a sus miem bros que están “haciendo un trabajo importante en el mundo”, dijo. Las leyes de recompensas de Texas y California son rel ativamente nuevas ahora, dijo el profesor de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Georgia, Randy Beck, pero le preocupa lo que podría suceder a continuación. “Hay una larga historia con estas cosas que no es muy agradable”, dijo Beck. “Hay una buena razón por la que los legisladores han dejado de usar esto, y creo que me preocupa que un montón de legisladores estén repit iendo una historia que no queremos repetir”.

‘Hemos creado un monstruo’ Una de las primeras leyes de recompensas de la histo ria se promulgó en Inglaterra a principios del siglo XIII. Se suponía que los funcionarios locales fijaban precios uniformes para el vino, pero algunos de ellos también eran vendedores de vino. Ese conflicto de intereses complicó el esfuerzo del rey Eduardo II por reafirmar el control político sobre un reino díscolo. Pero no podía estar en todas partes. Entonces, delegó a todos los hombres en Inglaterra: si encontraron a fun cionarios locales vendiendo vino, la Corona confiscaría ese vino, y la persona que presentó la denuncia recibiría un tercio de la incautación. Al otro lado del charco y 500 años después, Abraham Lincoln estaba cansado de los contratistas de guerra fraudulentos. Al Ejército de la Unión le habían vendido caballos cojos, mulas enfermas, comida rancia, armas que no disparaban y proyectiles de artillería llenos de aserrín. A veces los compraban por error dos veces. El senador estadounidense Jacob Howard de Michigan encabezó en 1863 la acusación de lo que se convertiría en la Ley de Reclamos Falsos, el patrón y regla de oro para las leyes de recompensas que, en su forma mod erna, triplica los daños por fraude y asigna a la persona que lo denuncia un tercio de la recompensa. La idea, dijo Howard: “Configurar un pícaro para atrapar a un pícaro, que es la forma más segura y rápida que descubrió de llevar a los pícaros ante la justicia”. Durante la mayor parte de su historia, el gobierno de EE. UU. operó con sobornos y recompensas, argumentó el profesor de derecho e historia de Yale, Nicholas Parrillo. Su libro” Contra el motivo de las ganancias ” detalla cómo hasta principios de 1900, los estados a menudo dejan recaudaciones de impuestos sin pagar a los ca zarrecompensas y los recompensaban con una parte de las ganancias. Las recompensas también fueron para los oficiales navales que capturaron barcos enemi gos y tomaron un porcentaje de su valor.

En Texas y California, las nuevas leyes hacen un llamado a las personas de cada estado para que vigilen e informen sobre sus vecinos, y obtengan una recompensa por hacerlo. Inusual, sí, aunque es un concepto que se remonta a los primeros días de la república estadounidense.

“Los tejanos se despertarán esta ma ñana con este simple mensaje”, escribió Newsom en Twitter. “Si Texas puede pro hibir el aborto y poner vidas en peligro, California puede prohibir las armas de guerra letales y salvar vidas. Si (Abbott) realmente quiere proteger el derecho a la vida, debería seguir el ejemplo de Cali Lafornia”.Unión Estadounidense de Libertades Civiles no lo acepta de ningún lado. Al oponerse a la ley de California que per mite a los ciudadanos demandar por ar mas fantasma y armas de asalto, la ACLU calificó la ley como “un ataque a la Con stitución”. Dijo que, a pesar del objetivo de California de obligar a la Corte Suprema a elegir entre los derechos de los estados y los derechos de armas, California es taba siguiendo un precedente peligroso.

“Cuando los funcionarios viven de rec ompensas, se vuelve imposible para los laicos atribuir buenos motivos a esas per sonas”, explicadamente Parrillo.

Parrillo leyó un extenso discurso del re publicano de Maine Thomas Brackett Reed, ex presidente de la Cámara en la década de 1890: “Qué comunidad se amotinó alguna vez contra los fraudes en los ingresos internos, contra las des tilerías de alcohol ilegal, contra el contra bando, contra cien otras cosas que son delitos contra los estados unidos? “Es necesario que los funcionarios estén estimulados por un interés propio similar al que excita, apoya y sostiene al criminal”. Y eso, cabe señalar, fue en un discurso a favor de las recompensas. “Los legisladores estadounidenses retro cedieron por lo que habían hecho”, dijo Parrillo. “Dijeron, oh Dios mío, hemos cre ado un monstruo, tenemos que cerrarlo ahora mismo”. Así que desaparecieron las recompen sas y, eventualmente, llegaron agentes profesionales del IRS pagados y policías con sueldo, creando un sistema de em pleados asalariados del servicio civil. A fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX, el Congreso y las legislaturas estatales eliminaron gradualmente las recompen sas y reemplazaron a los cazarrecom pensas con policías pagados. La Ley de Reclamaciones Falsas de Lincoln permaneció en vigor, aunque el Congreso la diluyó significativamente en 1943, después de que una demanda exi tosa de la Ley de Reclamaciones Falsas preocupara a los contratistas militares durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Lu ego vino la década de 1980, cuando al Departamento de Defensa se le cobró $7,000 por una cafetera y $640 por un asiento de inodoro . En una audiencia, el representante Andy Ireland de Florida leyó una lista de ven tas fraudulentas a los militares durante la Guerra Civil y se refirió a la Ley de Rec lamaciones Falsas. “Aquí estamos 120 años después ”, dijo, “y todavía nos en frentamos a los mismos problemas en la adquisición militar”. El acto volvió con fuerza, y hoy, dijo Eng strom, es la “forma más pura” de un esta tuto de generosidad. Y California creó su propia versión mod erna de la caza de recompensas con la Prop. 65 aprobado por los votantes. Desde 1986, el estado ha invitado a los residentes a denunciar las violaciones a la ley ambiental que busca advertir a las personas sobre los productos químicos cancerígenos o que reproducen la repro ducción en los productos que consumen. El estado permite a los ciudadanos en tablar demandas privadas por infraccio nes, y cosechar las recompensas si ga nan en el tribunal o si la empresa a la que demandaron decide llegar a un acuerdo.

En 2019, la Cámara de Comercio de Cali fornia luchó contra una nueva adverten cia propuesta por la Prop. 65 sobre la ac rilamida, una sustancia química creada al cocinar los alimentos, y que el estado no pudo decir definitivamente que causar cáncer. La Cámara ganó , y los abogados de la Cámara dijeron que la acción judicial detuvo “cientos de acciones pendientes, pero aún no presentadas, de ejecución privada” sobre ese químico solo.

“Replicar el reprobable modelo de Texas solo sirve para legitimarlo y promoverlo”, escribió el grupo en mayo . Beck, el profesor de derecho de Geor gia, señala en un artículo de próxima publicación que el estado rojo de Idaho ya convertido una versión reducida de la ley de aborto de Texas, y el estado azul de Illinois ya está considerando una legis lación que refleja la ley de armas de Cali Elfornia.gobernador de Idaho, Brad Little, tiene sus dudas sobre la aplicación civil de la ley: “Si bien apoyo la política pro-vida en esta legislación, temo que el novedoso mecanismo de aplicación civil, en poco tiempo, se probará como inconstitucional e “Seimprudente”.convierteen una especie de parte de esta guerra cultural, un estado tomando represalias contra otro estado”, dijo Beck. “Estas cosas no son buenas en la práctica y, en mi opinión, creo que tienen muchos problemas.

COMMUNITY un sistema que alentaba a los ca zarrecompensas a maximizar sus ganancias encontrando la mayoría de los delitos, no los más delitos graves. Eso significaba castigar a las personas por las infracciones técnicas más pequeñas del código fiscal.

Pero los nuevos movimientos de aborto y armas en Texas y California llevan el resurgimiento de las leyes de recompen sas a un nuevo nivel. El senador estatal de Texas, Bryan Hughes, autor de su nueva ley de aborto, escribió en septiembre pasado en un artículo de opinión del Wall Street Journal que, aunque la ley no es convencional, los legisladores no tienen opciones. “La ley se aparta de los canales de apli cación convencionales, inicialmente”, es cribió Hughes. “En casi todos los casos, la persona agraviada, y por lo tanto la persona que presenta la demanda, es el “Endemandante.elcasodel aborto, se ha extinguido la parte agravada”. Por su parte, Newsom no desalentó las sospechas de que la ley de armas de California tiene como objetivo simple mente trolear a los conservadores esta dos, cuando publicó anuncios en Florida instando a los residentes a mudarse a California y tuiteó al gobernador de Tex as, Greg Abbott, el 22 de julio .

They all set out bounties, with the state en trusting its citizens to enforce the law and promising remuneration to those who do.

The Texas law, passed in 2021, bans abor tions if a doctor detects a fetal heartbeat, usually at about six weeks — but it’s not up to the state to enforce it. Instead, people any where in the United States can sue anyone who helped a Texan get an abortion. Suc cessful lawsuits offer at least $10,000 per re ported abortion, and the defendant, not the state, pays the plaintiff.

The Texas and California bounty laws are rel atively novel now, said University of Georgia School of Law professor Randy Beck, but he worries about what could come next.

the pond and 500 years later, Abra ham Lincoln was tiring of fraudulent war contractors. The Union Army had been sold lame horses, sick mules, rancid food, guns that wouldn’t fire and artillery shells filled with sawdust. Sometimes they erroneously pur chased them twice. U.S. Sen. Jacob Howard of Michigan in 1863 led the charge for what would become the False Claims Act, the gold standard for bounty laws that, in its modern form, triples the damages for fraud and allots the person who reports it one-third of the award. The idea, said Howard: “Setting a rogue to catch a rogue, which is the safest and most expe ditious way I have ever discovered of bring ing rogues to justice.”

And that, it should be noted, was in a speech in favor of “Americanbounties.lawmakers recoiled from what they had done,” Parrillo said “They said, oh my god, we’ve created a monster, we need to shut it down right now.”

For most of its history, the U.S. government operated on bribes and bounties, argued Yale law and history professor Nicholas Par Hisrillo.

The act came roaring back, and today, Eng strom said, it’s the “purest form” of a bounty Andstatute.California created its own modern ver sion of bounty hunting with voter-approved Prop. 65. Since 1986, the state has invited residents to report violations of the environ mental law that seeks to warn people about carcinogenic chemicals or those that affect reproduction in the products they consume.

The state permits citizens to bring private lawsuits for violations – and reap the re wards if they prevail in court or the company they sued decides to settle. In 2019, the California Chamber of Com merce fought a new proposed Prop. 65 warning on acrylamide, a chemical created by cooking food, and one which the state couldn’t say definitively caused cancer. The Chamber won, and the Chamber’s attorneys said the court action halted “hundreds of pending – but not yet filed – private enforce ment actions” about that one chemical alone.

BOUNTY HUNTING: FOES OF GUNS AND ABORTION RESURRECT AN OLD IDEA Nigel CalMattersDuara In Texas and California, new laws call on the people of each state to watch and report their neighbors — and reap a reward for doing so. Unusual, yes — although it’s a con cept that dates back to the earliest days of the American republic. But what do Civil War-era legislators raging about sick mules and wet gunpowder have to do with Texas Senate Bill 8, its “heartbeat” abortion law, and California Senate Bill 1327, its newest gun act?

“American lawmakers recoiled from what they had done. They said, oh my god, we’ve created a monster, we need to shut it down right now.”

Parrillo read from a lengthy speech by Maine Republican Thomas Brackett Reed, former Speaker of the House in the 1890s: “What community ever bestirred itself against frauds on the internal revenue, against moonshine distilleries, against smuggling, against a hundred other things which are crimes against the United States? “You need to have the officials stimulated by a similar self-interest to that which excites and supports and sustains the criminal.”

Rival states have both enacted recent bounty laws — over abortion in Texas and gun sales in California — but critics worry about where this is headed.

People would rush to punish murder and thievery, Parrillo wrote, but getting communi ties to follow federal laws that the commu nity itself didn’t agree with – or care about – was impossible without incentives.

So out went bounties, and, eventually, in came paid professional IRS agents and beat cops, creating a system of salaried civil ser vice employees. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Congress and state legislatures grad ually removed bounties and replaced bounty hunters with paid police.

The concept may evoke romantic notions of the California Rangers chasing the Five Joaquins Gang through the goldfields for a $6,000 bounty. But bounties had a darker history in the 1800s. The Fugitive Slave Act offered rewards for catching escaped slaves, and Mexico once offered bounties for Native American scalps. U.S. lawmakers had created a system that encouraged bounty hunters to maximize their earnings by finding the most crimes, not the most serious crimes. That meant punishing people for the smallest technical violations of the tax code. “When officials live by bounties, it becomes impossible for laypersons to attribute good motives to those people,” Parrillo explained.

“There’s a long history with these things that is not very happy,” Beck said. “There’s a good reason that legislators have stopped using them, and I think I’m worried that a bunch of legislators are repeating history that we don’t want to repeat.”

Opponents included the firearms industry, which started getting nervous about the im plications for gun owners. Sure enough, by the time the U.S. Supreme Court later jettisoned Roe’s right to abortion, perhaps making the machinations of Texas unnecessary, California was already fighting fire with fire. Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bounty law targeting not abortion but guns. It allows private citizens to sue anyone for $10,000 for selling, distributing or importing ghost guns or assault weapons. A new legal challenge to the Texas law was filed in April. Gun rights supporters have promised to challenge California’s law as Entrustingwell. the public to enforce the laws and paying them with bounties was once how this country kept the lights on — or at least, the lanterns lit. “Before you had a really strong central state, and before you had a professional civil ser vice, a lot of government services were pro vided on a bounty or a fee-for-service basis,” said Stanford Law School professor David Freeman Engstrom. To catch wrongdoing back then, the state had to rely on people watching their neigh bors – and maybe hauling them to court. Today the U.S. government rewards people who report fraudulent war contracts, terror ism, violations of federal environmental law and Medicaid fraud. The state of California allows financial rewards for people who sue to enforce its Proposition 65 toxics warning And,law. of course, there’s bail-jumping, for which we still have “professional” bounty hunters, though the subjects of bail bounties sign a contract surrendering many of their Notrights.all bounties pay in money, Engstrom said — under federal environmental laws, a non profit is only able to recover attorney’s fees from a successful injunction against a pol luter, or to protect an endangered species of frog. But the nonprofit is also able to dem onstrate to its members that they’re “doing important work out in the world,” he said.

One of the first bounty laws in history was enacted in England in the early 1300s. Lo cal officials were supposed to set uniform prices for wine, but some of them were also wine sellers. That conflict-of-interest compli cated King Edward II’s effort to reassert po litical control over a fractious kingdom. But he couldn’t be everywhere. So, he depu tized every man in England: If they found local officials selling wine, the Crown would seize that wine – and the person who made the complaint would receive one-third of the Acrossseizure.

book “Against the Profit Motive” details how until the early 1900s, states often left unpaid tax collections to bounty hunters and rewarded them with a portion of the pro ceeds. Bounties also went to naval officers who captured enemy ships and took a per centage of their value.

Lincoln’s False Claims Act remained in ef fect, though Congress significantly diluted it in 1943, after a successful False Claims Act lawsuit worried military contractors during World War II. Then came the 1980s, when the Department of Defense was charged $7,000 for a coffee pot and $640 for a toilet

‘We’ve created a monster’

As U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts noted, the law ran contrary to abortion rights guar anteed under Roe vs. Wade, then the law of the land. Instead, he wrote in a concurring opinion, “Texas has employed an array of stratagems designed to shield its unconsti tutional law from judicial review.”

-NICHOLAS PARRILLO, YALE LAW AND HIS TORY PROFESSOR

Atseat.a hearing, Rep. Andy Ireland of Florida read from a list of fraudulent sales to the military during the Civil War and harkened back to the False Claims Act. “Here we are 120 years later,” he said, “and we are still con fronted with the same problems in military procure-ment.”

American Civil Liberties Union isn’t hav ing it from either side. In opposing California’s law allowing citizens to sue over ghost guns and assault weapons, the ACLU called the law “an attack on the Constitution.” It said that despite California’s aim to force the Supreme Court to choose between states’ rights and gun rights, California was follow ing a dangerous precedent.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little has expressed doubts about the law’s civil enforcement: “While I support the pro-life policy in this legislation, I fear the novel civil enforcement mechanism will, in short order, be proven both unconsti tutional and unwise.”

“It becomes kind of part of this culture war, one state retaliating against another state,” Beck said. “These things are not good in practice, and in my view, I think they have lots of problems. I’d like to kind of keep them in the corners for very, very infrequent use.

“Replicating the reprehensible Texas model only serves to legitimize and promote it,” the group wrote in May. Beck, the Georgia law professor, notes in a forthcoming paper that red-state Idaho has already adopted a scaled-down version of the Texas abortion law, and blue-state Illinois is already considering legislation mirroring California’s gun law.

ENGLISH

Texas State Sen. Bryan Hughes, the author of its new abortion law, wrote last September in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that though the law is unconventional, legislators were out of departs from conventional enforce ment channels, obviously,” Hughes wrote. “In almost every case, the person wronged, and therefore the person who brings the claim, is the plaintiff. “In the case of abortion, the wronged party has been extinguished.”

For his part, Newsom didn’t discourage ac cusations that California’s gun law is aimed at merely trolling conservative states, when he took out ads in Florida urging residents to move to California and tweeted at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on July 22.

“Texans will wake up this morning to this simple message,” Newsom wrote on Twit ter. “If Texas can ban abortion and endanger lives, California can ban deadly weapons of war and save lives. If (Abbott) truly wants to protect the right to life, he should follow Cali fornia’s lead.”

“Replicating the reprehensible Texas model only serves to legitimize and promote it.”

Big time. It allowed us to because it was the 30th anniversary and the found ing team were children when we started, and it kept getting bigger and bigger and more complex. So we said, “okay, when we come back, let's make it su per fun, like it were the first year, and get back to that space of just really hav ing a good time produc ing it, simplifying it from a production standpoint, but yet providing people with an amazing experience of Wemovies.”came up with the beer and wine garden concept, which I think is really fun and youthful, because we want Cinequest to also track a new, younger au dience, which it does ev ery year, but we have a lot more comedies in the lineup than ever before, in spiring films, fun films. So the lineup and things like the beer and wine garden, they just really speak to hey, you're 21 to 34, you're prob ably really going to have a great time with Cinequest like never before. And it's very welcoming. We've always tried to be very welcoming and we were super inclusive both programming wise and through community before that was a mandate. I've al ways been very proud that people from every walk of life show up to Cinequest, I think this one is going to be even more welcoming and extraordinarily diverse and fun. This is not a stuffy film event... that are just like red velvet ropes and you’ve got to put on an outfit and it's fun, but it's stuffy. This is not Andstuffy.We have the best community. I mean, I moved out here by choice and not by birth because I really fell in love with it. Part of why I fell in love with was the mix of folks from differ ent cultures and ways of life in San Jose is amazing like that. And about the move to the summer, is that something that based on this year, you might con tinue on next year and beyond? We do have holds on dates for both March and August. So we're going to see how this goes and see how people respond and we could do one of three things: We could go back to doing it in March. We could say, "wow, we'll just do it in the summer. That was so much fun." Or we could do it both, which would mean we probably would do half of it in March and half of it in the summer and have a differ ent focus. Like, for example, we might focus on VR and AR and a certain type of experience with the films in March and then have more of the fun celebra tory outdoor stuff along with the movies like we're doing now. Again, we got so many comedies and thrillers and Sci-Fi movies. It certainly is an interna tional film festival, but it re ally is heavy on fun movies, which is great for the sum mer lineup. One of my personal fa vorite things about Cine quest is the chance to hear from creators and to see those lifetime achievement awards, the Maverick Spirit Awards, be given out. I was wondering what's in store this year in that aspect? We're looking forward to it because we have, as you mentioned, the Maver ick Spirit for the luminar ies. And we have a lot of emerging artists. For ex ample, we have this really cool group of 20-some thing artists, Patricia Chica, a new movie she directed, and acts in, it's called Mon treal Girls. It's a very young cast, it's a Latino, Cana ARTS

The silver screen is lighting up once again in downtown San Jose this year. From August 16-29, cel ebrated film festival Cine quest is back in person af ter abruptly shutting down in March of 2020 due to what was then referred to as the novel coronavirus. Being one of two organi zations in the Bay Area to first close down out of pre caution (the other being Stanford), the team behind the festival has had time in the interim to tweak what’s worked best, and added new opportunities for film lovers including an ex panded lineup of 220 mov ies (130 of them World/US premieres) and a beer and wine Halfdangarden.Hussey Is the Co-founder and CEO of Cinequest and has been involved with the festival since year one. Recently he sat down to talk about this year’s lineup and events, and how the festival in tends to be as innovative and welcoming to all after the physical hiatus. From the comedies and more upbeat movies that were made since the 2020 shutdowns, to the impor tance of community inter actions at the in-person festival, read more about Hussey’s movie highlights, and what can be expect ed this year in general as Cinequest makes its trium phant return to the streets of downtown San Jose. More information about Cinequest programming, special events, and individ ual tickets and passes are available at cinequest.org. We'll to start off, could talk about your organization’s experience since the sudden closure of the festival in March 2020 due to health and safety concerns? Since then, how did things change with Cinequest and what was that experience like for you? Well, for us it's been great. Luckily, I can't say the same for a lot of people we know. As you remember, in 2020, Cinequest and Stanford were the first California in stitutes and organizations to do something about the pandemic. I mean, it was breaking 48 hours before we opened that year. It was our 30th anniversary cele bration. We go to the open ing night and say, where is everybody? We had a sold-out event, but it was only half of the seats that were filled. And I thought it was the election. It wasn't the election. It was Coro navirus as we called it then, and it was just crazy. And we had to make some tough decisions because there was a lot of mixed in formation out there about what to do. And we decid ed to postpone [and] shut down six days into it. We provided six days of great movies and technology, even did VR and AR in a big way that year and kept people healthy, thank God. We thought we'd bring it back then and finish up what we started in that summer, but it just didn't happen. And so we tried in the summer, we tried to bring it back this last March, and because of Omicron, it just didn't happen. So finally we've been able to do it in person. But in the meantime, we were the first group to do an online film festival in 2005 and 2007, because our partners and board mem bers were doing a lot in the world of Internet delivery of media. And then we said, "okay, let's revisit that. Let's not do a streaming service for festival films because that's going to be boring, but let's see if we can't find a way to start to replicate what you get out of live ex perience online." So in addition to having the films, how do we do that? How do we create the workflow of a world premiere event with red carpets and interviews and audience interactions and parties? And so we did three versions called CINE JOY on a new platform and they went really well. Each one got better. And we're looking to continue that in addition to doing the in person because it provides a unique experience.

El cofundador y director general de Cinequest, Halfdan Hussey, habla de la pandemia, de las cervecerías y de sus mejores elecciones para el festival de este año Arturo Hilario El Observador Este año, la pantalla de plata vuelve a ilumi narse en el centro de San José. Del 16 al 29 de agosto, el célebre festival de cine Cinequest vuelve a celebrarse en per sona después de haber cerrado abruptamente en marzo de 2020 debido a lo que entonces se denominó el nuevo coronavirus. Siendo una de las dos organizaciones del Área de la Bahía que cerró primero por precaución (la otra fue Stanford), el equipo detrás del festival ha tenido tiempo en el ínterin para ajustar lo que ha funcionado mejor y ha añadido nuevas oportunidades para los aman tes del cine, incluyendo un cartel ampliado de 220 películas (130 de ellas estrenos mundiales/es tadounidenses) y un jardín de cerveza y vino. Halfdan Hussey es el cofundador y director gen eral de Cinequest y ha estado involucrado en el festival desde el primer año. Recientemente se sentó a hablar sobre el cartel y los eventos de este año, y sobre cómo el festival pretende ser igual de innovador y acogedor para todos tras el parón Desdefísico. las comedias y las películas más optimistas que se hicieron desde los cierres de 2020, hasta la importancia de las interacciones con la comu nidad en el festival presencial, lea más sobre las películas más destacadas de Hussey, y lo que se puede esperar este año en general, ya que Cine quest hace su regreso triunfal a las calles del cen tro de San José. Más información sobre la programación de Cine quest, los eventos especiales y las entradas y pases individuales en cinequest.org. Para empezar, ¿Podría hablarnos de la expe riencia de la organización desde el repentino cierre del festival en marzo de 2020 por mo tivos de salud y seguridad? Desde entonces, ¿Cómo cambiaron las cosas con Cinequest y cómo fue esa experiencia para ustedes? Bueno, para nosotros ha sido genial. Por suerte, no puedo decir lo mismo de mucha gente que conocemos. Como recuerdas, en 2020, Cine quest y Stanford fueron los primeros institutos y organizaciones de California en hacer algo sobre la pandemia. Quiero decir, se rompió 48 horas an tes de que abriéramos ese año. Era la celebración de nuestro 30º aniversario. Llegamos a la noche de la inauguración y dijimos, ¿dónde está todo el mundo? Teníamos las entradas agotadas, pero sólo se llenó la mitad de los asientos. Y yo pensé que eran las elecciones. No fueron las elecciones. Fue el Coronavirus, como lo llamábamos enton ces, y fue una locura. Tuvimos que tomar algunas decisiones difíciles porque había mucha información contradicto ria sobre lo que había que hacer. Y decidimos posponerlo [y] cerrarlo a los seis días. Ofrecimos seis días de grandes películas y tecnología, inclu so hicimos VR y AR a lo grande ese año y mantu vimos a la gente sana, gracias a Dios. Pensamos en volver a hacerlo y terminar lo que habíamos empezado en ese verano, pero no fue posible. Lo intentamos en el verano, intentamos traerlo de vuelta el pasado mes de marzo, y de bido a Omicron, simplemente no sucedió. Así que finalmente hemos podido hacerlo en per sona. Pero mientras tanto, fuimos el primer grupo en hacer un festival de cine en línea en 2005 y 2007, porque nuestros socios y miembros de la junta directiva estaban haciendo mucho en el mundo de la entrega de medios de comunicación por Internet. Y entonces dijimos: "Vale, vamos a revisarlo. No hagamos un servicio de streaming para las películas del festival porque eso va a ser aburrido, pero veamos si podemos encontrar una manera de empezar a replicar lo que se obtiene de la experiencia en vivo en línea". Así que, además de tener las películas, ¿Cómo lo hacemos, cómo creamos el flujo de trabajo de un evento de estreno mundial con alfombras ro jas y entrevistas e interacciones con el público y fiestas? Así que hicimos tres versiones llamadas CINEJOY en una nueva plataforma y nos fue muy bien. Cada una de ellas mejoró. Y queremos se guir haciéndolo, además de hacerlo en persona, porque ofrece una experiencia única. Dadas las circunstancias inesperadas y sin precedentes, ¿Tuvieron la oportunidad de dar un paso atrás y ver si había algún ajuste en el festival presencial que querían implementar? A lo grande. Nos lo permitió porque era el 30º ani versario y el equipo fundador eran niños cuando empezamos, y cada vez era más grande y más Asícomplejo.quedijimos: "vale, cuando volvamos, hagamos que sea súper divertido, como lo fue el primer año, y volvamos a ese espacio de pasarlo bien pro duciendo, simplificándolo desde el punto de vista de la producción, pero ofreciendo a la gente una experiencia cinematográfica increíble". " Se nos ocurrió el concepto del jardín de cerveza y vino, que creo que es realmente divertido y juvenil, porque queremos que Cinequest también siga a un público nuevo y más joven, lo que hace cada año, pero tenemos muchas más comedias en la programación que antes, películas inspiradoras, películas divertidas. Así que la programación y cosas como el jardín de la cerveza y el vino, realmente hablan de que, si tienes entre 21 y

ESPAÑOL Q&A DEL REGRESO DE CINEQUEST: EL QUERIDO FESTIVAL DE CINE QUE CELEBRA EL ARTE, LA TECNOLOGÍA, LA COMUNIDAD Y LA DIVERSIDAD VUELVE PARA UNA PROYECCIÓN DE VERANO

ENGLISH dian and Middle Eastern cast. It's quite a mix of folks, and they're all coming. So I can say that for a lot of films that are having their world in US premiere, they're bringing these wonderful casts. And then we have the Luminaries you mentioned. Our Maverick Spirit Award is our top honor for those who have had a substantial ca reer. And that will be Jim Gaffigan on the 16th. And he is with the new film called Linoleum. Great comedian and actor, so that's a really great one to start with. And then Alison Brie the next day with the film called Spin Me Around. Both comedies, back to the theme of lots of comedies and it's hard to find a lot of smart comedies. And you think in the pandemic, I was wor ried, "okay, are we gonna have a lot of de pressing movies, because I don't want to play a lot of depressing movies coming out of the pandemic." But it was just the opposite. People seem to really embrace the funny side of their souls this past couple of years and they made fun movies, so that's great. So those two for sure. And we're going to do Jim Gaffigan's live and in person. And Alison Brie, due to her schedule, we're going to do a live stream of her presentation and conversation right before the film starts and then after the film. Are there any other film highlights that you want people to be aware of? Yeah, I mentioned this world premiere of Montreal Girls. There's a film, Our Words Collide is one of our favorite artists, Rosa rio Dawson, she's executive produced this movie on spoken word poets in LA. This group of youth in their high school year and they followed five youth around that are spoken word poets and dealing with all of the challenges that they face and their aspirations for the future. It's a very cool movie. That's definitely one to keep an eye There'son. so many movies that I really love. For a fun movie Ghosting Gloria, and that's a movie that's in Spanish with English sub titles. It's a very fun movie. This woman has to try to get in touch with her desires and real relationships. I'm really high in a film called Dealing With Dad. I think it's really great when you have American filmmakers that come that are first and second generation. This is a Chinese director. They deal with the very funny movie about this group of siblings dealing with their father's later stage in life where he all of a sudden becomes very depressed and they've tried to get him on medications, and it's just hilarious. It's very much a film that really gets you in side of a culture in a really fun way. That's another pick that's high on my list. But there are so many a film that's very inspiring to me. If you're an artistic type of person or you're a creative person in tech nology, any kind of creative people, there's a film called Sonic Fantasy about arguably one of the top three all-time sound engi neers who worked with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson and this film really gets into the creation of the album Thriller. It saved the music scene and industry at that time. It was really starting to die after the disco movement, [which] didn't really work for the music scene. I know now we think the disco is being fun in retro, but it was killing the sales of records - they didn't know what to do. Hip hop hadn't started yet. We didn't have the new movements coming out with rap and hip hop and they came along with Thriller. And Michael Jackson was very motivated to do a great album that blew everybody's mind because he was really pissed off that he hadn't won a bunch of awards for his previous album that he thought should have won the award. So he was motivated. Quincy Jones was motivated, for the music of it and to save the music industry and then the sound de signer and then all the people, the bands that came in. It's very inspiring about how they came together to make that album and create a sensation. A very inspiring movie. Is there any other thing you would like people to know about Cinequest this year? They can expect an experience that's more than a movie. And I think that a lot of people will show up for the films be cause we have all these amazing world and US premieres that represent the fin est films that are being made. But they're going to get much more than that. As you mentioned, what you love, they're going to have, with most of the films, the artists there to talk afterwards. They're going to meet these artists. They can go to the beer garden, buy an eight-dollar craft beer, and sit down and have a conversation with these people. They can meet other members of the community. They can bring a friend, or they can come alone and meet a friend. And it's very welcoming. It's an incredible cel ebration of people and humanity around a common interest for film and technology. This particular edition is focusing more on the film and getting people back together and doing it in just a really fun, open-heart ed Andway.everything that you might dislike about watching the daily news or politi cians or the people that are divisive and don't bring us together, well, you pretty much count on the opposite at Cinequest. We don't care what you voted for, how you think, your gender identification, your sexual orientation, your culture, how much money you have or don't have. It never has been about that. It's just the opposite. We want all types of people to show up together, and we celebrate these artists and this art and then each other. And that's what's really awesome, and it's welcoming. Again, if you're 21 thinking, Should I go to this event? Do I have to put on some outfit and stand in a line? No, you dress as you want. You just come and enjoy, and it's very cool.

SamTrans cambiará el 7 de agosto Usted hablo y nosotros escuchamos. Tenemos nuevas rutas, mejor servicio escolar, mejores conexiones para una experiencia mas fluida para todos nuestros pasajeros.

Sí, he mencionado el estreno mundial de Montreal Girls. Hay una película, Our Words Collide, de una de nuestras artistas favoritas, Rosario Dawson, que es productora ejecutiva de esta película so bre poetas de la palabra hablada en Los Ángeles. Es sobre un grupo de jóvenes que en su año de escuela secundaria siguieron a cinco jóvenes que son poetas de la palabra hablada y tratar con to dos los desafíos que enfrentan y sus aspiraciones para el futuro. Es una película muy interesante. De finitivamente es una de las que hay que tener en Haycuenta.muchas películas que me encantan. Para una película divertida Ghosting Gloria, y esa es una película que está en español con subtítulos en inglés. Es una película muy divertida. Esta mujer tiene que tratar de ponerse en contacto con sus deseos y las relaciones reales. Me siento muy bien con una película llamada "Dealing With Dad". Creo que es genial cuando vi enen directores americanos de primera y segun da generación. Este es un director chino. Se trata de una película muy divertida sobre este grupo de hermanos que lidian con la última etapa de la vida de su padre, que de repente se vuelve muy depre sivo y han intentado medicarlo, y es simplemente Eshilarante.unapelícula que se adentra en una cultura de una manera muy divertida. Es otra de las películas que están en mi lista. Pero hay muchas películas que son muy inspira doras para mí. Si eres una persona de tipo artístico o eres una persona creativa en tecnología, cual quier tipo de gente creativa, hay una película lla mada Sonic Fantasy sobre posiblemente uno de los tres mejores ingenieros de sonido de todos los tiempos que trabajó con Quincy Jones y Michael Jackson y esta película realmente se mete en la creación del álbum Thriller. Salvó la escena mu sical y la industria en ese momento. Estaba em pezando a morir después del movimiento disco, [que] no funcionó realmente para la escena musi cal. Sé que ahora pensamos que la música disco es divertida en plan retro, pero estaba acabando con las ventas de discos: no sabían qué hacer. El hip hop aún no había empezado. No existían los nuevos movimientos del rap y el hip hop, que lle garon con Thriller. Y Michael Jackson estaba muy motivado para hacer un gran álbum que dejara a todo el mundo boquiabierto porque estaba muy cabreado por no haber ganado un montón de premios por su anterior álbum que, según él, de bería haber ganado. Así que estaba motivado. Quincy Jones estaba motivado, por la música y para salvar la industria musical y luego el ingeniero de sonido y toda la gente, las bandas que vinieron. Es muy inspirador cómo se unieron para hacer ese álbum y crear una sensación. Una película muy inspiradora. ¿Hay alguna otra cosa que le gustaría que la gente supiera sobre Cinequest este año? Pueden esperar una experiencia que es más que una película. Y creo que mucha gente vendrá a ver las películas porque tenemos todos estos in creíbles estrenos mundiales y estadounidenses que representan las mejores películas que se están haciendo. Pero van a ver mucho más que eso. Como has mencionado, lo que más te gusta es que, en la mayoría de las películas, los artistas estarán presentes para hablar después. Van a conocer a esos artistas. Pueden ir a la cervecería, comprar una cerveza artesanal de ocho dólares y sentarse a conversar con ellos. Pueden conocer a otros miembros de la comu nidad. Pueden traer a un amigo, o pueden venir solos y conocer a un amigo. Y es muy acogedor. Es una increíble celebración de la gente y la hu manidad en torno a un interés común por el cine y la tecnología. Esta edición en particular se centra más en la película y en reunir a la gente y hacerlo de una manera realmente divertida y abierta. Y todo lo que te puede disgustar de ver las no ticias diarias o los políticos o la gente que nos divide y no nos une, bueno, en Cinequest cuen tas con todo lo contrario. No nos importa lo que hayas votado, cómo piensas, tu identificación de género, tu orientación sexual, tu cultura, cuánto dinero tienes o no tienes. Nunca se ha tratado de eso. Es justo lo contrario. Queremos que todos los tipos de personas se presenten juntos, y que ce lebremos a estos artistas y este arte, y luego a los demás. Y eso es lo que es realmente impresion ante, y es acogedor. De nuevo, si tienes 21 años y piensas: ¿Debo ir a este evento? ¿Tengo que ponerme algún traje y hacer fila? No, vístete como quieras. Simplemente vienes y disfrutas, y es muy cool.

ESPAÑOL 34 años, probablemente te lo vas a pasar muy bien con Cinequest como nunca Yantes.esmuy acogedor. Siempre hemos intentado ser muy acogedores y hemos sido muy inclusivos, tanto en la programación como en la comunidad, antes de que fuera un mandato. Siempre me he sentido muy orgulloso de que gente de todas las clases sociales acudiera a Cinequest, y creo que éste va a ser aún más acogedor y extraordinaria mente diverso y divertido. No se trata de un evento cinematográfico estirado... que son como cuerdas de terciopelo rojo y tienes que ponerte un traje y es divertido, pero es estirado. Esto no es estirado. Y tenemos la mejor comunidad. Quiero decir, me mudé aquí por elección y no por nacimiento porque realmente me enamoré de ella. Parte de la razón por la que me enamoré fue la mezcla de gente de diferentes culturas y formas de vida en San José es increíble así. Y sobre el traslado del evento al verano, ¿Es algo que, basándose en este año, podría con tinuar el año que viene y más allá? Tenemos reservadas las fechas de marzo y agosto. Así que vamos a ver cómo va esto y ver cómo responde la gente y podríamos hacer una de estas tres cosas: Podríamos volver a hacerlo en marzo. O podríamos decir: "Vaya, lo haremos en verano. Eso fue muy divertido". Incluso podríamos hacer ambas cosas, lo que sig nificaría que probablemente haríamos la mitad en marzo y la otra mitad en verano y tendríamos un enfoque diferente. Por ejemplo, podríamos cen trarnos en la realidad virtual y la realidad aumen tada y en cierto tipo de experiencia con las pelícu las en marzo y luego tener más cosas divertidas para celebrar al aire libre junto con las películas, como estamos haciendo ahora. De nuevo, ten emos muchas comedias y thrillers y películas de ciencia ficción. Se trata de un festival de cine inter nacional, pero con una gran cantidad de películas divertidas, lo que es ideal para la programación de verano. Una de las cosas que más me gustan de Cine quest es la posibilidad de escuchar a los cre adores y ver cómo se entregan los premios a toda una vida, los Maverick Spirit Awards. Me preguntaba ¿Qué habrá este año en ese as pecto? Nos hace mucha ilusión porque tenemos, como has mencionado, el Espíritu Maverick para las lu minarias. Y tenemos un montón de artistas emer gentes. Por ejemplo, tenemos este grupo de artis tas de veintitantos años, Patricia Chica, una nueva película que ha dirigido y en la que actúa, se llama Montreal Girls Es un elenco muy joven, con un reparto latino, canadiense y de Oriente Medio. Es una mezcla de gente, y todos vienen. Así que puedo decir que muchas de las películas que se estrenan en Estados Unidos traen estos maravillosos repartos. Y luego tenemos a las Lu minarias que has mencionado. Nuestro premio Maverick Spirit es nuestro mayor honor para aquellos que han tenido una carrera importante. Y ese será Jim Gaffigan el día 16. Quien está con la nueva película llamada Linoleum Gran comedi ante y actor, así que es un gran comienzo. Y luego Alison Brie al día siguiente con la película llamada Spin Me Around Ambas comedias, como te dije tenemos muchas comedias y es difícil encontrar comedias inteligentes. Y durante la pandemia, me preocupaba, "Vale, ¿Vamos a tener muchas películas deprimentes? Porque no quiero hacer muchas películas deprimentes saliendo de la Peropandemia".fuetodo lo contrario. La gente parece abra zar realmente el lado divertido de sus almas este último par de años e hizo películas divertidas, así que eso es genial. Y vamos a tener la present ación de Jim Gaffigan en vivo y en directo. Y Ali son Brie, debido a su agenda, vamos a hacer una transmisión en vivo de su presentación y conver sación justo antes de que comience la película y luego después de la película. ¿Hay alguna otra película destacada que qui era que la gente conozca?
