Carol Kocivar, the immediate past president of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.capta.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California State Parent Teacher Association,\u003c/a> mentioned an effort called \u003ca href=\"http://www.capta.org/sections/school-smarts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School Smarts\u003c/a> to educate parents:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">“One of the things the state PTA has been involved in is creating parent academies, where parents are invited into the school and are given skills and resources to understand how the school system works. Because, as we know, we have a lot of parents who are new to the United States, or didn’t finish high school or go to college and give those parents the skills and resources to be advocates for their kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Another possible solution proposed was having well-to-do, more established PTAs partner with those at schools with lower-income families. Smith said that was “something so fundamental and direct that we can do right now, which is to build bridges between these different PTAs, with these different cultures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Two commenters who identified themselves as having children at schools that raise a lot of money supported this buddy system of funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">A commenter named Mark cited the ability of a few parents at his school to rally and lead the fundraising charge. He said, “We should be helping more parents at more schools learn this kind of leadership, because we will never be completely able to rely on city or state support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">Another listener said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">“Just a half-hour walk away from my son’s school is one of the schools with no PTA at all, and a very low-income population.

One of those programs, an industry-backed pilot called Project A-Game, teaches kids how to make video games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a back room, a handful of kids are squished around computers working on their game, which is called \"Mr. Platformer.\" It sounds and looks like an old Nintendo game.

These five kids built it using modern game-making software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morris Jackson is mixing the sounds for \"Mr. Platformer\" — things like the digital chime of a coin being picked up, a laser being shot, and that unmistakable warble of a power-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I signed up because I love video games, always did,” he says, “I have been playing since I was a few months old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't know if it actually qualifies as playing, but Morris Jackson's family used to at least put the controller in his hands and let him push the buttons.

They come here after school to escape the violence and, more important, to develop job skills and participate in the organization's wide array of arts and education programs. One of those programs, an industry-backed pilot called Project A-Game, teaches kids how to make video games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a back room, a handful of kids are squished around computers working on their game, which is called \"Mr. Platformer.\" It sounds and looks like an old Nintendo game. Think Mario Brothers from the '80s, but it wasn't made decades ago. These five kids built it using modern game-making software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morris Jackson is mixing the sounds for \"Mr. Platformer\" — things like the digital chime of a coin being picked up, a laser being shot, and that unmistakable warble of a power-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I signed up because I love video games, always did,” he says, “I have been playing since I was a few months old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't know if it actually qualifies as playing, but Morris Jackson's family used to at least put the controller in his hands and let him push the buttons.

He likes to draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Darius, he's really an artist,” McKnight says. “He had no affinity for the technical stuff, that's not what he was interested in, but he's seen how his characters come alive inside of levels.” \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> Census numbers show that Latinos and African-Americans in the United States hold only between 6 and 7 percent of science and technology jobs. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Reed used Photoshop to draw the game's hero -- a white boxy character with a little top hat and a skinny red tie. “Since we are just going for something simple,” he says, “I just made him look like a mister, you know like somebody who is going to work, like a guy who works in the office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An office job in the tech industry isn't something these kids thought much about before this class. Morris, the aspiring DJ, says he had never even talked with anyone in the tech industry. His instructor, McKnight, is the first person he has ever met with a tech job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census numbers show that Latinos and African-Americans have been consistently underrepresented in science and technology jobs, holding between 6 percent and 7 percent nationally. A San Jose Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_22094415/asian-workers-now-dominate-silicon-valley-tech-jobs\">analysis\u003c/a> confirms a similar percentage for Bay Area tech jobs, even though Latinos and African-Americans account for almost a third of the region's population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Arturo Arechiga says the goal is to try and find ways to change that percentage.

Trucks were moving cargo into and out of Port facilities as early as 7:00 a.m. and into and out of the majority of facilities by 10:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No ships were loaded or unloaded today.

Some terminals could not operate at all because of protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Shifts were cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terminal operators are responsible for ordering and cancelling shifts. No shifts were cancelled today. Some Longshoremen were unable to report to work for health and safety reasons. Some were released due to the inability to fill a labor order.

As a result, 200 Longshoreman were not able to work there. At the Port of LA and Long Beach, there was apparently minor operational impact and protesters were dispersed this morning.

Shutting down Goldman Sachs, which owns a part of the SSA terminal, and EGT, a multiational grain exporter rupturing \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/21/us-longshoremen-arrests-idUSTRE78K7TC20110921\">longshoremen jurisdiction\u003c/a> in Longview, Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve identified the fact that a the 1% makes a great deal of its profit on the ports and on the backs of exploited labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you been working with longshoremen? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve been working with rank-and-file longshoremen. Legally, no union can sanction a strike. There are no-strike clauses. But we’re not asking for a strike, we’re asking for a blockade like on Nov 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, since the anti-apartheid movement, people will go down and create community pickets and shut down the ports. These ports are public, anyone can go down there and protest. We know that the longshoremen rank and file largely support the aims of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As well, this west coast coordinated port blockade is in solidarity with the longshoremen’s struggle against EGT in Longview Washington, which is ruptuing their jurisdition and is a direct threat to the survival of the ILWU. While the ILWU international may not be able to officially say anything about the port blockade, this is a large number of people taking on the issues that we all have with the 1%. EGT is not only a longshoreman issue, but they have economically plundered people from Argentina to Brazil and all around the world… And of course, Goldman Sachs owns a large part of the SSA terminal, and we all know what Goldman Sachs has done to a large part of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you respond to people who say that shutting down the port would hurt members of the 99% like truckers and other workers who need the shift? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the same thing as in the general strike, where the right wing tried to accuse occupy Oakland of hurting small businesses. But we all have to make a sacrifice here, to strike back against the 1% and take our lives back from the 1%. This is what this movement is all about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did anyone from the Longview union ask you guys to shut down the port in solidarity with their fight? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. The occupation movement doesn’t need to take marching orders from anyone. It’s a mass of people self-organizing to get their material needs met and to strike back against he 1%. Of course we’ve been aware of the issue in Longview and applauding the resistance by the longshoremen up in Longview for resisting EGT, but like I said, EGT and other companies operating up there are a concern of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody from the longshoremen has asked the Occupy movement to do anytning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you worried about support from the union’s rank and file, or do you think you definitely have their support? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Any plans to coordinate more with the ILWU?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a very sad thing what’s happened to the unions in the U.S. because of no-strike clauses and different legal ramifications. It’s sad that unions have to distance themselves from things like this for fear of being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody can speak for the leadership of the ILWU.

Trucks were moving cargo into and out of Port facilities as early as 7:00 a.m. and into and out of the majority of facilities by 10:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No ships were loaded or unloaded today.

Some terminals could not operate at all because of protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Shifts were cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terminal operators are responsible for ordering and cancelling shifts. No shifts were cancelled today. Some Longshoremen were unable to report to work for health and safety reasons. Some were released due to the inability to fill a labor order.

Some were unable to accept cargo due to protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Oakland was the only west coast port impacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We understand from news reports that operators at the Port of Portland shut two terminals, affecting four ship operations. As a result, 200 Longshoreman were not able to work there. At the Port of LA and Long Beach, there was apparently minor operational impact and protesters were dispersed this morning. At the Port of Seattle, protest activity is expected later today and tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: Customs enforcement personnel were not at all terminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some terminals experienced a delay in Customs personnel arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myth: An arbitrator was called in and sent Longshoremen home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not true.

Shutting down Goldman Sachs, which owns a part of the SSA terminal, and EGT, a multiational grain exporter rupturing \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/21/us-longshoremen-arrests-idUSTRE78K7TC20110921\">longshoremen jurisdiction\u003c/a> in Longview, Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve identified the fact that a the 1% makes a great deal of its profit on the ports and on the backs of exploited labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you been working with longshoremen? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve been working with rank-and-file longshoremen. Legally, no union can sanction a strike. There are no-strike clauses. But we’re not asking for a strike, we’re asking for a blockade like on Nov 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, since the anti-apartheid movement, people will go down and create community pickets and shut down the ports. These ports are public, anyone can go down there and protest. We know that the longshoremen rank and file largely support the aims of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As well, this west coast coordinated port blockade is in solidarity with the longshoremen’s struggle against EGT in Longview Washington, which is ruptuing their jurisdition and is a direct threat to the survival of the ILWU. While the ILWU international may not be able to officially say anything about the port blockade, this is a large number of people taking on the issues that we all have with the 1%. EGT is not only a longshoreman issue, but they have economically plundered people from Argentina to Brazil and all around the world… And of course, Goldman Sachs owns a large part of the SSA terminal, and we all know what Goldman Sachs has done to a large part of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you respond to people who say that shutting down the port would hurt members of the 99% like truckers and other workers who need the shift? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the same thing as in the general strike, where the right wing tried to accuse occupy Oakland of hurting small businesses. But we all have to make a sacrifice here, to strike back against the 1% and take our lives back from the 1%. This is what this movement is all about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did anyone from the Longview union ask you guys to shut down the port in solidarity with their fight? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. The occupation movement doesn’t need to take marching orders from anyone. It’s a mass of people self-organizing to get their material needs met and to strike back against he 1%. Of course we’ve been aware of the issue in Longview and applauding the resistance by the longshoremen up in Longview for resisting EGT, but like I said, EGT and other companies operating up there are a concern of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nobody from the longshoremen has asked the Occupy movement to do anytning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you worried about support from the union’s rank and file, or do you think you definitely have their support? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate.
