    Major Realities and Meager Resources - The State of our Courts with Toni Momberger

    On this Joe Speak! Podcast, we are joined by Toni Momberger, Executive Editor of Follow Our Courts, a publication that covers legal industry happenings in the Inland Empire of Southern California. Toni is born and raised in the region, and previously spent two decades as a media reporter for local outlets, including the Redlands Daily Facts. Then, community needs and her willing pragmatism landed her, a “non-politician,” on a local City Council for several years. Common to all of her service endeavors is her passion for careful information gathering, and mobilizing data to identify serious problems. In the beginning of what will be a continuing conversation, Toni talks with us about information she has uncovered related to the lag in resources that continues to leave the Inland Empire behind in many categories. Specifically, she lays out some hard facts that demonstrate the glaring deficiencies in court resources that plague Inland county state courts when compared to courts in richer areas statewide. She shares the realities, and challenges, surrounding everything from hiring court staff, to appointing judges, to erecting courthouses to house judges and staff, even as the need is clear. More, she shares how these realities affects caseloads, court priorities, and ultimately the service provided to area citizens, who happen to be primarily of color. Finally, she foresees our additional conversations on other subjects of importance to the Inland Empire, including environmental issues. Hosted by Joe Richardson.

    Thoughts on Justice, Accountability and Positivity with Joey Jackson, Esq.

    Joey Jackson, Esq. is a well-known criminal defense attorney, principal of JOEY JACKSON LAW, PLLC in New York City, and a longtime CNN legal analyst who has been seen on local and national outlets for years. His expert commentary provides perspective that brilliantly takes complicated legal issues and makes them understandable for public consumption. In this podcast, Mr. Jackson talks about how he was turned on to the prospect of practicing law, and shares how his father’s work as a police officer informed his evolution from prosecutions to Criminal and Labor Law advocacy for Civil Service employees. Mr. Jackson addresses recent police brutality cases, and while acknowledging the potential legal solutions being offered related to police accountability, he points out the key considerations (transcending law) which are at the root of the issue. Importantly, Mr. Jackson reminds that due process is for all of us (including police), offers thoughts on the responsibility of lawyers to make positive contributions (including with sound legal commentary), and displays a fundamental optimism that will energize and encourage listeners that the practice of law is in good hands.

    The Stigma of Criminal Convictions | Choosing to Hope, Calling to Help w/ Sara Rodriguez

    Sara Rodriguez has an incredible personal story which made the LA Times, as she was one of the thousands in San Bernardino County that automatic expungement of marijuana related convictions had not filtered down to. A drug possession charge sent her to jail many years ago, and after many ups and downs, she made a decision to rebuild her life. She did so, earning two degrees and dedicating herself to a career of social work on behalf of the formerly incarcerated. But, for all she has accomplished personally against enormous odds, in her heart, it’s not about her at all. In this podcast, you will hear her cite real world examples of the stigma of criminal convictions, with challenges in getting housing, internships in college, and participating in kids’ field trips, and how those challenges do not go away even for those that have “turned things around.” She will give a sense of the difficulties of dealing with the court system for people whose only exposure to the Courts has been negative, and why resources are so important. Ultimately, she is Exhibit 1 of how to make life’s lemons into tasty lemonade, and how “regular people” do extraordinary things toward the cause of justice. Hosted by Joe Richardson.

    Community Service: Evolved in Form but Unchanged in Substance with Senator Connie Leyva

    Connie Leyva is probably best known for her years in the California State Senate. However, the bookends of her career show a consistent line of distinguished service that has included trailblazing union leadership, and which continues with her new post as Executive Director of KVCR, a public radio dual licensee that also operates First Nations Experience, a digital multicast channel for Native American and Indigenous programming. In this podcast, Connie will discuss her amazing journey, the highs and lows of being on the State Senate, and how her new job is a natural continuation of her service. She will give listeners a primer on KVCR including its current programming and talk about future plans her role is signed to support. She will add her observations on the Inland Empire as a region with still untapped potential, and how her new responsibilities will further the work of equity in our state and region which has always been a central goal in all of her endeavors.

    Infertility, Racial Inequity, and Redefining Success With Candace Clark Trincieri

    On this Joespeak! Podcast, Candace Clark Trincieri joins us, talking about her new book, “Dream Redefined: The Struggle and Success Through Infertility as a Woman of Color.” Candace talks transparently about her own infertility story, which starts many years before trying to have kids--with a diagnosis of Endometriosis as a young adult after years of symptoms. The daughter of parents active in the civil rights movement, and the granddaughter of one of first black mayors of a major southern city, Candace talks about finding her multigenerational activist voice providing the unique (and forgotten) perspective of women of color through infertility diagnosis and treatment. Now an ambassador for RESOLVE – The National Infertility Association, Candace talks about the stereotypes and stigmas that surround this issue, which both assume the fertility of black women and treat the infertility of white women with more sensitivity (and resources). She reminds that the already existing racial inequities of our health care system do not disappear, but intensify, when dealing with infertility issues, and discusses policies that would improve the situation. In sum, Candace gives us a window into a complex issue through her compelling story of finding peace in the midst of long personal storm.
