THANK YOU.

>>> GOOD EVENING, IT'S TUESDAY MAY 10th.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

A RALLY OVER REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IS WRAPPING UP RIGHT NOW.

STUDENTS AND ADVOCACY GROUPS MAKING THEIR OPINIONS KNOWN IN FRONT OF THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE.

IT COMES AS THE BOARD IS SET TO MEET RIGHT NOW ON THAT ISSUE.

MG PEREZ IS LIVE AT THE DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS.

>> Reporter: THESE ARE STUDENTS THAT ARE PART OF A GENERATION THAT COULD BE IMPACTED THE MOST WITH A REVERSAL OF ROE V WADE, AND THEY KNOW IT.

THAT'S WHY THEY ARE HERE AT THE EDUCATION CENTER THIS AFTERNOON.

THEY SHOWED UP ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, AND THEY REPRESENT STUDENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

OF COURSE, THEY ARE CARRYING SIGNS WITH MESSAGES THAT DESCRIBE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF LOSING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS FOR WOMEN ALONG WITH OTHER POTENTIAL RIGHTS AS WELL, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE SUPREME COURT EVENTUALLY DECIDES.

ANY OF THE STUDENTS ARE 17 YEARS AND YOUNGER.

SO ONE STRATEGY THEY ARE USING IS TO PRE-REGISTER TO VOTE.

THAT WAY, THEY HAVE A VOICE AT THE BALLOT BOX.

THERE WEARING THEIR EMOTIONS ON THEIR SLEEVES FOR SURE, BUT THEY ARE ALSO ARTICULATING THOSE EMOTIONS LOUD AND CLEAR.

>> MY CAP CLASSMATES ARE SQUARED , WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING THEIR RIGHTS AS A 17- YEAR-OLD.

WE HAVE OUR ENTIRE LIVES AHEAD OF US AND WE DON'T FEEL LIKE WE ARE IN A POSITION WHERE WE SHOULD LOSE OUR RIGHTS.

WE THINK THAT WE HAVE OUR LIVES AHEAD OF US AND WE NEED THOSE RIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SUCCESS THAT WE WOULD LIKE.

>> STUDENTS THAT DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN INCOMES, CAN'T AFFORD AN ABORTION LET ALONE TO RAISE A CHILD, THEY ARE RACIALLY BARRED FROM THIS TYPE OF CARE.

I'M TERRIFIED FOR ANYONE WHO HAS A UTERUS FEELING LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE A DAY IN THEIR OWN BODY.

I THINK THAT'S HORRIFYING.

>> THIS SORT OF SHAMELESS ACTIVE AUTHORITARIAN BEHAVIOR IS SOMETHING THAT COULD SPIRAL INTO SOMETHING WORSE FOR GROUPS THAT ARE JUST NOT EVEN FOR WOMEN.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE COME TOGETHER TO STOP IT.

>> Reporter: AT THIS HOUR, THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED BOARD OF EDUCATION IS MEETING INSIDE THE BUILDING.

ON THEIR AGENDA THIS EVENING IS A RESOLUTION THAT THEY WILL COME LATER THAT THE DISTRICT WOULD SPEAK VERY PROFOUNDLY AND SPEAKING AGAINST THE POTENTIAL REPEAL OF ROE VERSUS WADE.

THAT'S WHERE THE STUDENTS CAME HERE TODAY.

THERE'S ALSO LOTS OF PIZZA, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT ATTRACTS MANY STUDENTS.

THE MORE THAN ANYTHING, THEY WANTED TO BE HEARD, AND THEY WANTED TO BE SEEN, AND THAT CERTAINLY IS THE CASE THIS AFTERNOON.

REPORTING LIVE AND UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, ANGIE PEREZ, KPBS.

>>> EXPANDING SECURITY PROTECTIONS FOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THEIR FAMILIES.

AMID RISING TENSIONS OF THE HIGH COURT POTENTIALLY OVERTURNING ROE V WADE, ABORTION-RIGHTS PROTESTERS HAVE BEEN HOLDING DEMONSTRATIONS OUTSIDE THE HOMES OF CONSERVATIVE JUSTICE IS.

SENATE MINORITY LEADER MITCH McCONNELL SAID IN A RECENT INTERVIEW THAT A NATIONWIDE BAN ON ABORTION IS THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE, REVOKING A STRONG RESPONSE FROM DEMOCRATS.

>> HEAR THAT, AMERICA?

A TOTAL BAN.

A TOTAL NATIONAL BAN ON ABORTION STATED BY NOT ANY REPUBLICAN, BUT BY THE REPUBLICAN LEADER.

AURELIUS BOWSER IS A GUN VIOLENCE ADVOCATE.

>> AND SPECIFICALLY WHEN ADDRESSING THE CRIME, THOSE CRIMES AREN'T RIGHT.

>> Reporter: AND ORDINANCES TARGETING GHOST GUNS.

>> PEOPLE SAFELY STORE THEIR GUNS WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THEM IN THEIR POSSESSION, OR IN THEIR CONTROL.

BECAUSE WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS, IF SOMEONE BREAKS INTO YOUR HOUSE, OR YOUR CAR, AND THEY GET THAT GUN, THEN IT ENDS UP ON OUR STREET.

I THINK PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> Reporter: EARLIER THIS YEAR, HE LAUNCHED THE NO SHOTS FIRED PROGRAM IN SAN DIEGO.

HE WANTS TO SEE MORE COMMUNITY- BASED INTERVENTION PROGRAMS.

>> WE HAVE TO SHIFT THAT APPROACHED WHERE WE HAVE COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE TRAINED AND ARE PROFESSIONALS AND KNOW HOW TO GO IN AND ADDRESS COMMUNITY GUN VIOLENCE FROM A COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE.

NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE, YOU NEED THOSE LIKE MYSELF WHO HAVE A LIVED EXPERIENCE AND THE CREDIBLE AUTHORITY TO GO IN THERE AND BE A CREDIBLE MESSENGER AND TALK WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL LISTEN TO US.

>> Reporter: BOWSER SAYS MORE REPETITIVE, NOT REACTIVE STRATEGIES ARE NEEDED.

>> I NOT TRYING TO BE A CRITIC OF THE POLICE.

THEY CAN REALLY HATE ON ME AND TRY TO SQUASH EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING.

I HAVE TO SPEAK TRUTH, RIGHT?

IF POLICING BY ITSELF WORKED, WHY ARE WE IN THE DILEMMA WE ARE IN?

THAT'S THE QUESTION WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES.

>> Reporter: FIREARMS WERE FOUND TO BE INVOLVED IN 79% OF HOMICIDES NATIONWIDE.

>> LIVINGSTON SAYS VINING WORK IN THAT FIRST YEAR AFTER A PERSON LEAVES THE MILITARY IS PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT.

>> A LOT OF TIMES, OUR VETERANS DO STRUGGLE IN THAT AREA, ESPECIALLY IF THEY WENT INTO THE SERVICE STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY MAY NOT HAVE ACTUALLY EVER DONE AN INTERVIEW BEFORE.

>> NEED HELP BUILDING RESUMES, BECAUSE LAWYERS DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND HOW MILITARY DUTIES TRANSLATE INTO CIVILIAN JOB SKILLS.

>> IF A VETERAN CAME RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL INTO THE MILITARY AND SERVED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, WHEN THEY GET OUT, OFTEN THEY CAN FEEL BEHIND THEIR PEERS IN TERMS OF A CAREER IN THE CIVILIAN WORLD.

>> Reporter: SOME QUESTION WHETHER THE NUMBERS SHOW A TRUE PICTURE OF VETERAN UNEMPLOYMENT.

THE GROUP CALLED CALL OF DUTY HELPS EMPLOY VETERANS.

IT RECENTLY ISSUED A REPORT SAYING THE NUMBERS DON'T SHOW, AMONG OTHER THINGS, HOW MANY VETERANS REMAIN UNDEREMPLOYED.

IT WAS A SPECIAL ELECTION PRIMARY ON APRIL 5th.

NO KENNEDY GOT THE MAJORITY VOTE, SO NOW THERE'S A ONE OFF ON JANUARY 7th.

THAT'S THE SAME DAY AS A SEPARATE GENERAL ELECTION FOR THE SAME SEAT.

YES, IT'S CONFUSING.

SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE JOAL SIGNS SAYS WHOEVER WINS CAN TECHNICALLY RUN AS AN INCUMBENT IN THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION.

>> Reporter: TO FURTHER COMPLICATE MATTERS, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE 2011 DISTRICT BOUNDARIES CAN VOTE FOR THE SPECIAL ELECTION CANDIDATES, BUT THE STANDARD ELECTION PRIMARY IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE UPDATED 2021 DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

SOME FOLKS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR BOTH.

>> THIS IS A SAMPLE OF THE BALLOT, BUT ON THE BALLOT FOR THE 80th DISTRICT, WE HAVE SPECIAL RUNOFF TO FILL VACANCY, WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THEIR REGULAR -- THE PRIMARY ELECTION FOR THE NEW TERM OF WHATEVER ASSEMBLY DISTRICT THEY RESIDE IN NOW.

>> Reporter: AGAIN, THE TOP TWO VOTE GETTERS IN THE STANDARD PRIMARY ELECTION THIS JUNE WILL HEAD TO THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION.

EVEN THOUGH THE TWO DEMOCRATS ARE THE MOST LIKELY TO BE ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT, IT'S THE REPUBLICAN AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS WHO MAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> THERE WAS 9000 VOTES IN THE PREVIOUS ELECTION THAT WENT TO THE ONE REPUBLICAN THAT WAS RUNNING.

WHO'S GOING TO GET THOSE 9000 VOTES?

WHO IS GOING TO GET THE OTHER REPUBLICAN VOTES WHEN THEY VOTE IN NOVEMBER?

AND IT MAY COME DOWN TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS DECIDING THE ELECTION AS MUCH AS IT DOES FOR DEMOCRATS IN THAT DISTRICT.
