Queens District Attorney, Melinda Katz, on this week's episode of The Cats Roundtable.

Queens DA Melinda Katz - The District Attorney is the final arbiter of criminal justice. by John Catsimatidis

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   May is Asian heritage month and Talking Taiwan was one of over 100 organizations and groups that participated in United We Stand, the 42nd Annual Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival, organized by CAPA the Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans. Usually festival is a one-day outdoor event held in New York City, but this year it was run virtually online for the entire month of May.   As I thought about how Talking Taiwan could go beyond just being another virtual booth in the festival, and give back to the community, I realized that we could put together an online event simply by inviting some of our past guests, namely Suelain Moy, Steven Lee and Peter Yang Zhao for discussion and Q&A on the topic of: What to do if you are the target of Asian hate. And with the help of my friend Chris Chen, who’s a part of CAPA, the festival’s organizing committee, we added another panelist Chris Kwok, an attorney doing a lot of great work related to anti-Asian hate.   The event was held on May 17th and recorded. We are sharing it here in two parts. This is part one featuring a discussion with our panelists. Part two will be the Q&A discussion that followed.   Panelist bios: Christopher M. Kwok, is a mediator and arbitrator with JAMS, Board Director and Issues Committee Chair for the Asian American Bar Association of New York, and an Adjunct Professor at Hunter College/CUNY and New York City College of Technology/CUNY. Sergeant Steven Lee, is a 16-year veteran of the NYPD, a whistleblower fighting to reform police corruption, and Anti-Asian Hate Crime Activist. Suelain Moy, is a New York City mother, writer, journalist, author, and editor who wrote “The 16 Safety Guidelines for the Parents of Asian Children.” Peter Yang Zhao, is an Anti-Asian Hate Crime and Tourette Activist.   Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   United We Stand, the 42ndAnnual Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival, organized by CAPA the Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans Panelist Suelain Moy talks about an anti-Asian hate incident that happened to her and her son Suelain’s practical tips for dealing with harassment on the street How parents should talk to their kids about how to protect themselves Where to report Asian hate incidents When reporting a hate crime, what constitutes a hate crime When reporting a crime it is important to mention all the details and speak up about what exactly happened Why Asian hate crimes have been underreported You don’t have to file a police report in the precinct where it happened The anti-Asian hate incident that happened to panelist Peter Yang Zhao’s wife Peter’s Tourette activism and mention that May 15-June 15 is Tourette’s Syndrome month Why what happened to Peter’s wife was considered a criminal case The difference between a criminal and civil case How AALDEF does not offer personal direct legal services but does impact litigation What is impact litigation The MinKwon Center does offer personal direct legal services, but only in very specific areas How the timing and prevalence of Asian hate crimes impacted how Peter’s wife’s case was handled When filing a police report the perpetrator is given your information by the district attorney’s office within 48 hours, so it’s not necessary to give all of your personal information (e.g. address or date of birth), you can just give  your first name and an email address How Asians need to be more politically active and speak up     Related Links:   United We Stand- 42nd Annual Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival: Https://beacons.ai/aapifest   Panelist Suelain Moy’s 16 Safety Guidelines for the Parents of Asian Children: https://suelain.com/2021/03/25/16-safety-guidelines-for-the-parents-of-asian-children/?fbclid=IwAR2tbE5J3vbKAASQwZBdxEiZRsnyQ34phgyyqxCyX-4NX2ztxRPY-FCYZJk   Panelist Peter Zhao’s Op Ed about the Anti-Asian Hate crime that happened to his wife: https://asamnews.com/2021/03/23/oped-finding-real-solutions-to-ending-anti-asian-hate-crimes/   Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF): https://www.aaldef.org/   MinKwon Center for Community Action: http://minkwon.org/   Flushing  Bakery Incident:   Queens County's District Attorney, Melinda Katz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Katz

On May 14, 2020, WBAI 99.5 FM Driving Forces Host Jeff Simmons talked with Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz about social distancing arrests, Rafael L Espinal Jr. about how COVID19 is impacting freelancers, and Sr. Nancy Downing of Covenant House International about supporting homeless youth and young adults.

Ecco le notizie più importanti della settimana selezionate da "Ascolta la Notizia". Facciamo il punto dell'emergenza coronavirus in Italia. Il numero di persone guarite dal coronavirus nel nostro paese ha superato quota 75mila. Giovedì 30 aprile è stato registrato un aumento record di pazienti guariti: 4.693 rispetto al giorno precedente: il maggiore dall'inizio dell'emergenza. Nel frattempo il Ministro della Salute, Roberto Speranza, ha firmato il decreto ministeriale con cui sono stati definiti i criteri relativi alle attività di monitoraggio del rischio sanitario per l'evoluzione della situazione epidemiologica. I tre indicatori con valori di soglia e di allerta che dovranno essere monitorati nella fase 2 sono: Capacità di monitoraggio; capacità di accertamento diagnostico, indagine e gestione dei contatti; stabilità di trasmissione e tenuta dei servizi sanitari. Sono considerati fondamentali per monitarere l'epidemia il grado di reattività e «tenuta del sistema sanitario, per assicurare l'identificazione e gestione dei contatti, il monitoraggio dei quarantenati, una adeguata e tempestiva esecuzione dei tamponi per l'accertamento diagnostico dei casi», si legge nel decreto firmato da Speranza. Passiamo alla situazione all'estero. La soglia delle persone guarite dal coronavirus a livello mondiale ha superato il milione. È quanto emerso dai dati aggiornati pubblicato dalla Johns Hopkins University sabato 1 maggio. Anthony Fauci, virologo a capo della task force degli Stati Uniti contro il Covid-19, ha dichiarato che «il vaccino contro il Coronavirus potrebbe essere disponibile già dal prossimo mese di gennaio». «Ho sempre detto che per avere il vaccino avremmo dovuto aspettare un massimo di 18 mesi. Ora la previsione si è leggermente abbassata e non si allontana molto dall’ipotesi iniziale», ha precisato Fauci. Ma dagli Usa non arrivano solo buone notizie: dall'inizio del lockdown sono raddoppiati i suicidi nel Queens, uno dei boroughs di New York, che è la città più colpita dall'epidemia di coronavirus. A lanciare l'allarme la procuratrice distrettuale Melinda Katz, secondo cui bisogna considerare tener conto anche «della componente di salute mentale in questa crisi sanitaria». In Danimarca, dove da metà aprile in poi sono state riaperte le scuole, parrucchieri e piccole aziende, non è stata registrata una accelerazione dei contagi di coronavirus. Lo ha reso noto lo Statens Serum Institut che coordina la ricerca pubblica sulle malattie infettive. Il premier russo Mikhail Mishustin ha contratto il coronavirus e rimarrà in isolamento. A prendere temporaneamente il suo posto sarà il vice premier Andrei Belusov. Il numero di contagi confermati in Russia ha superato quota 100mila. Chiudiamo con l'economia. Il Pil italiano nel primo trimestre 2020 è calato del 4,7% sul trimestre precedente e del 4,8% sullo stesso periodo del 2019. Lo ha comuncicato l'Istat nella stima preliminare. Il calo del Pil «è di un entità mai registrata dall'inizio del periodo di osservazione dell'attuale serie storica che ha inizio nel primo trimestre del 1995. Il Pil ha subito una contrazione di entità eccezionale indotta dagli effetti economici dell'emergenza sanitaria e dalle misure di contenimento», ha fatto sapere l'Istat. La Banca Centrale Europea , «è del tutto preparata ad aumentare le dimensioni del Pepp« (il programma di acquisto di debito per l'emergenza pandemica) «nella misura necessaria per tutto il tempo necessario». Lo ha assicurato la presidente della Bce Christine Lagarde gioved&

Queens DA Melinda Katz 11-10-19 by John Catsimatidis

Driving Forces returns to the locally controlled WBAI airwaves! Host Jeff Simmons catches up with Queens Borough President (and Queens DA-elect) Melinda Katz, WBAI Correspondent Celeste Katz Marston, former NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks III, and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. give2wbai.org

A registered Democrat running on the GOP ticket, defense attorney Joe Murray thinks he's a better choice for Queens District attorney than his Democrat opponent Melinda Katz.  He sat down with The Wave's Editor In Chief Mark C. Healey to discuss why he's the better choice.

Celeste and Jeff talk to D and R strategists Bruce Gyory and Rina Shah about the latest Democratic presidential primary debates, check in with Melinda Katz on the Queens DA race, and take (a ton) of your calls.

It's been 25 days since Queens Democrats went to the polls to pick their nominee for District Attorney, a primary and proxy war that pitted borough president Melinda Katz against the AOC/Sanders/Warren-backed upstart Tiffany Cabán. The borough of over 2 million people wound up with the candidates separated by just 16 votes, sparking an overtime battle being waged at the Board of Elections, in court, and naturally all over social media. Assuming it ever ends, will the losing side accept the result or cry foul? And what does it mean for the establishment vs. far left divide in the Democratic Party? Here to help us sort through it is our first-ever returning guest, Hofstra University's Dr. Craig Burnett.

NOTE: This is a re-release of my discussion with Chloe Cockburn. At the beginning of the episode, I make the following endorsement of Tiffany Cabán, a candidate for Queens District Attorney: On Tuesday June 25th, Queens will hold an election for District Attorney. The DA is the top prosecutor for Queens, a borough of nearly 2.4 million people. If you are inspired by this episode, I would encourage you to support Tiffany Cabán. Cabán is the only public defender running in the race- the other six candidates are career prosecutors and politicians. She is also the only candidate who is refusing corporate PAC money. The other front-runner, Melinda Katz, has taken over $150,000 from real estate players. Chloe doesn't make endorsements as a matter of policy, but a number of organizations she has directed funding towards have endorsed Caban, including Real Justice PAC, the Working Families Party, and VOCAL New York, a group that organizes formerly incarcerated people. Cabán has also received endorsements from congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and activists Cynthia Nixon and Zephyr Teachout. This will be a low-turnout election, so each donation, volunteer, and voter will have a big impact on the outcome. Prosecutors are the group most responsible for mass incarceration, but their enormous amount of power and discretion also makes them most able to end it.   You can learn more and get involved at www.cabanforqueens.com  Chloe Cockburn leads Open Philanthropy's strategic grant-making aimed at ending mass incarceration in the US. Prior to joining Open Phil, she oversaw state policy reform work for the ACLU's Campaign to End Mass Incarceration. Previously, Chloe worked with the Vera Institute and the civil rights law firm of Neufeld, Scheck and Brustin, and clerked for Judge Sifton of the Eastern District of New York. Chloe can be found on Twitter at @chloecockburn We cover: An overview of mass incarceration in the united states Open Philanthropy's approach to criminal justice reform The importance of criminal justice reform relative to other problems like global poverty and factory farming The role of rehabilitation and deterrence Why we think punishment should play no role Show notes: Wage theft vs. all other theft Books discussed: The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander The Collapse of American Criminal Justice by William Stuntz

Queens Borough President Melinda Katz is running for Queens DA, and says that more than piling up convictions, the job of a DA is to get justice for victims and defendants.  She stopped by The Wave to discuss her campaign. 

Jeff and Celeste interview Queens district attorney candidates Jose Nieves, Melinda Katz, and Betty Lugo.

Adam shares his thoughts on activism and why it's important.
