 SANCTUARY MOVEMENT - It’s simple to be in the opposition. Combating policies and programs you don’t agree with is the duty of any policymaker. Standing up for those under attack or in the crosshairs of dogmatic extremism is righteous regardless of which end of the spectrum we find ourselves. But policymakers need to do more than oppose. They must offer solutions. They should have a vision.

THE GREAT AMERICAN NARRATIVE - Every minute of the day we are bombarded by a constant stream of information. This stream splashes on us from our TVs, mobile devices, on screens in the places we work and shop, our cars and even on public transportation. It is almost impossible to go anywhere in this country and not be “plugged in.” 

REMEMBERING THE LA RIOTS - As a TV journalist working in Los Angeles back in 1992, I saw plenty of signs that trouble was ahead. But I don’t think anybody can honestly say that they predicted what would happen on the afternoon of April 29.

PROFILE - There are moments in all of our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads – when decisions we make will have a huge impact. Sometimes, we realize the significance of the moment and the decision. But most of the time we don’t and only years later do we realize their importance.

WORKFORCE GPS - Wouldn’t it be great if there were a GPS system for our jobs and careers? An app that – like Waze and other traffic apps warn us of traffic jams ahead – could notify us about coming career troubles and help us steer to better-paying jobs and opportunities.

CYBER WARS - It seems almost every week there’s a terrifying news headline describing yet another hacking attack on our country’s business, government or political information infrastructure. We are indeed in the midst of the “cyber wars.”

MISSION STATEMENT - Sometime this year in the maternity ward of a California hospital a Latino baby quietly but significantly will change the course of history. 

WHERE NEWS COMES FROM MATTERS - We probably don’t know where our tomatoes come from anymore than where our bread is baked or where our chickens are raised. The same now goes for our news and information.
