allowing religious organizations based on religious freedom. to establish their own standards. >> gate says any other course of action could mean the end of the scouting as a movement. boy scout movement dropped in the last decade, but 2.5 million kids are involved, and openly gay scouts are allowed in since january of last year. >> we must deal with the world as it is, not as we wish it would be. the status quo in the membership standards cannot be sustained. >> local seattle council president calls the change inevitable and positive. it says the '98 and the church that withheld the charter can be applied. >> some argued for the change. all the churches don't agree with each other. it's not surprising, given the variety of view points. ultimately it will get there. this is a good thing for the scouting movement. >> mcgrath calls the changes a blanket policy of rejection, allowing continued discrimination at the local level. as for whether these kids will be boy scouts of america, mcgrath and church leaders say they have not decided and have no

with 30 or 40 organizations. so there's a convening role of the organization. and supporting the other parts of usaid trying to get things done. so we support the missions in their engagement and that is a critical part of aid. for a big government agency we are decentralized. our missions are vital and decision-making happens much there and so those are all of the ways this we try to put it in and we try to make it our engagement in the faith community as robust as possible especially when there are areas like health in emergencies, when the faith-based community have unique things to bring to the table. >> thank you. one of the things that came up, in fact, on the last panel, was how much of the share of the u.s. government support goes through faith-based organizations and so many of us turn to kaiser for that kind of analysis and i wonder, jen, if you could tell us more about how that -- how much kaiser has approached that and why that is a complicated set of numbers to find? >> thanks, janet. and i just want to say that i want to commend the lancet and the

under section 501-c-4 an organization can be established as a social welfare organization. one of the rules for these social welfare organizations is they have to be operated exclusively for social welfare reform purposes. that's been interpreted since 1959 to mean, among other things, that the organization can engage in some political campaign activity, but it cannot be its primary activity. there's no precise meaning of primary for this purpose and exactly what constitutes -- quote -- political campaign activity is similarly unclear. another type of tax-exempt organization is established under section 527. a 527 organization can engage in an unlimited amount of political campaign activity, but there is an important distinction between -- because a 527 organization has to disclose the identity of its donors. finally, the type of tax-exempt entity americans are most familiar with, 501-c-3's are not allowed to engage in any political campaign activity. so now with that as some legal background let's unpack the events we looked at. in february, 2010, the i.r.s. office located

to organization. people get so excited which i love, to get so excited about the entrepreneurs they have learned, they want to mentor them themselves are somehow connect with them. for whatever it's worth, i actually think we can learn something from everyone will have something to offer. that's the beautiful thing. often you see a person that does not have an expertise or skill in a particular area that may be relevant. just want to connect and i just, i think it's best when that is put in the right framework, i think it's wonderful for entrepreneurs and letters to connect. i think that will happen more and more with kiva. more direct, more mobile. mentorship is a different story at it happens best when it is happening locally with people surrounding that entrepreneur. >> these are great questions, thank you. >> let's give just a round of applause. [applause] >> thank you very much. and i will be here to sign books. day too, right? i've not done this before so i think that's what happens next. thank

in addition to a number of organizations in the pipeline those are organizations that have indicated to supervisor avalos office they're interested in either the power house specifically or expanding their services in or into district 11 so there is a real needs out there briefly a construction schedule assuming we have the funding by next year will look like the following we'll get through cities we're about to get through city design reviews for the power house by next month and look to secure funding by july 2016 we would create the cds and go through the city reviews it through now and february and september and hopefully start construction in october of 2016 this is aggressive but we believe that is an achieveable goal identification of the appropriate model and partner will it took place simultaneously so we have the right partner in place and if this partner brings funding to the table we'll identify them at this point we'll secure the funding to begin construction on schedule that concludes my presentation. thank you. >> thank you. >> public comment. >> public comment. >> i w

formational organization of the left? is there anything you can name as the on the ground of the left? i said in one sentence. now it is going to be three words. ms. taylor: i don't know if you can identify a single grouping, a single idea. i think we are at the beginning in thislding the left country. it is not to say people haven't been doing this work for many years, but it is in a different context. we are looking at the development of the most important social movement in ofs country since the end the last iteration of the black freedom struggle. that changes everything. whatever people think they were over the last several years, which i think has actually been important because it means we are not reinventing the wheel, we are not starting from scratch. we have to raise our horizons and think bigger. really quick in terms of the previous question, one of the big challenges is how do we get bigger. how do we build a much bigger more powerful left. i think that means looking at it not as white people need to look tow

i've been with the organization since 2008, and to know that i have that home base with the organization to come back to and be able to have an opportunity like this, you know, it's truly a blessing. i just love the organization and everything it's about. >> absolutely, and it's done so many positive things. >> definitely. >> there have been so many challenging things. we had so many african-american youth killed, innocent. you had the unarmed, shot by police, et cetera. we've had so many conflagrations, we've had so many demonstrations, so many challenges. this has been a very challenging year to say the least -- and not that this has been a very unique year, but nonetheless, a very challenging time. you saw what just happened in baltimore. we saw what happened in the st. louis area. what does that mean for you as somebody who's an activist, who's in this community? what goes through your mind as a member of the youth and the next generation when you see this happening? >> i'm somewhat heartbroken, you know, and i feel bad because not many children -- you know, especially people of colo

have you talked to the people who are organizing? and then working with activists and them saying, elected leadership is all bad. we need to dismantle the government, start again. it is all corrupt. --i am sorry. the name of my firm comes from good policy and elected leaders. that is what transforms and we cannot leave that on the table. they need to let the leaders know why and they can help us carry that water, and we also need everyone to be working towards good public policy that helps us all live more meaningful lives, and a think that is part of the triangle, and i think to leave it on the table would have an incomplete sentence in the work we have all been doing, and were at the collected leadership can be meaningful is with the people doing the work. they know their communities the and we are trying to find out. jenifer: great. thank you. if you guys do not take anything else away from this session, i would think that you should think about the organization you love the most and make it a point to talk to people there. the bo

that it makes them and the staff in those organizations more suspect or the work of those organizationspect or maybe even puts those staff members and the people who receive services in danger? and i wonder if you saw any evidence of that and if you have any thoughts about ways that civil society organizations and the large donors can be aware of how to build respectful partnerships with those organizations reaching hard to reach and vulnerable communities. >> thank you. andrew, do you want to go ahead and respond? >> yeah. those were some great questions. thank you so much. if i could start with the core, which is coming out of the older questions about the collaboration, if we look at the political framework in which my comments are based, it is that sustainable goals are going to talk about universal health coverage. that's a big challenge. it's important. it's invites if we are to reduce poverty. the bank has changed its mind. it used to say you can only become healthy once you become rich. now they are saying, the bank is saying that you have to be healthy to increase your standard

a flurry of organizations from around the world would rush to save lives? we expect such things today. this is not always so. when did this humanitarian wakening begin? over a decade ago i became interested in these questions by stumbling across humanitarian aid is a project and looking specifically at the way in which america does this. this is the story i had never heard before, and are emitted captivated still. the individuals featured on the slide some of those very same individuals who helped to feed a nation during an era prior to the internet, prior to the convenience of cellular phones and a whole host of other technologies. front and center of courses herbert hoover. i plan to tell a story that reveals when the idea of saving lives amidst catastrophe emerged full force. it began a decade ago, and continues still today. let us first consider some of the immediate catalyst humanitarian aid. across the globe, aid to soldiers of the understood would be armed why the violence of war. communities also offered into civilians and the reason being that tota

the organizations manage is itself. spit so they are still knocking on your door late at night same general, may i, gender, could we? if we do this, and then you, your processing all this. you must be loving being a leader. they're knocking on the door at 3 a.m. they're asking for permission. or really redoing things to you and way of of saying give me the intelligence, what is your recommendation? which is a wonderful approach. one step further, i'm not adding value to this equation. i'm not sure if you're upsetting the apple cart as much in business or in a military, or both. you really did ramp it up within this work and i'd like to a bit more about those middle of the night knocks on the doors but then what from that made you think this would be good for business? >> and just a little bit of background to we take command of an organization, just like when you move into a new job anywhere, you want is irrelevant as quickly as you can. the first time the country and take a great leader, here's a problem to make a deci

their local sales organizations for the sin alone a cartel and other drug distribution organizations. >> we are aware of the fact -- because we are a border state, we definitely see heroin coming in from mexico fairly frequently. i could not say specifically which cartel it is associated with but we definitely see a lot of drugs from the border. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> the other gentleman from virginia, mr. forbes. >> miss pacheco, when looking at these programs to stop recidivism, have you done any studies to look at the faith-based programs that have worked successfully to stop recidivism? had he done an analysis of that -- have you done an analysis of that? and the impediments we are putting in front of them to stop them doing the work they are doing? >> not really sir. lead is a fairly new concept and there really isn't another model to compare it to. >> oftentimes we love to create new wheels and reinvent the wheel that we have had some incredibly successful programs across the country and we have put one impediment after the other in a couple mentor a role with what you a

you have to trust your organization to do that.ecca: learning what you're not goodt and being willing to admit it. what else are you not good at that you had to learn to admit to your team and adapt? general mcchrystal: i would make snapped decisions and sometimes people would bring me information and i would make an ascension or a decision, that is a danger. you have to protect against that. i cannot assess people well on the short -- some peoplele can o a five second read of someone. withhold judgment until quite a bit more engagement. rebecca: a ceo or business leer you admire right now. general mcchrystal: : brad smith at intuit. open minded he runs a company that is already really good, but would he es an idea that can t take them from you 95 between 96 -- two in 96, he grabs that. if somebody is doing well, sometimes you don't want to rock th bt or show vulnerability. a company doing well thatays what got us here is not going to ep us on this path is pre-self-aware andnd i admire that. -- pretty self-aware. we have to get bet

he directs a new organization called the international refugee organization, establishes it to settle all these displaced people across europe in world war ii. then he steps into a u.n. relieves and works agency, which is alive and well today. arthur ringland started a little later working for hoover under the american relief administration. during the second world war, he managed u.s. policy from the state department, but he managed u.s. policy with respect to war charities. from that position, he would be the founding father of a new organization called care, established in 1945, to do what? send care packages overseas, which is where we get the term. we often think of it, but don't realize the connection. where does he get the idea for care? well, it's from the ara, and the ara provided the explicit model for care officials to send emergency food packages in the aftermath of war and to avert disaster. these are private initiatives or international initiatives supported fully by congress. on the far right, a fellow named alex smith in his older years. collectively, two leading legis

all you can do is be aware, get smart about it and pump information down so organically the organization manages itself. so they are still knocking on your door late at night saying general may i, general could i, general is it okay if i do this. you are processing all of this. you must this. you must love being a leader if they're knocking on the door at three in the morning. they are asking for permission or reviewing things you went one step further and said i'm not actually adding value to this equation so i'm not sure if you're upsetting the apple cart as much in business or military or both, but i tell you you really did ramp it up within this work and i'd like to hear more about those middle of the night knocks on the door, but what from that made you think this would be good for business to know? >> just a little bit of background, when you take command of an organization, just like when you move into a new job anywhere, you want to feel relevant as quickly as you can. the first time may come to you and they go great leader, here's the problem, make a decision. the temptation is

louis region and we struggled along side the organization, as well as other organizations that have been around longer. the difference in this moment is two fold. one, we see the emergence the eraddicality among the black youth, those that are benefitting from the infrastructure, benefitting from older organizations, and part of what is unique is we build upon and expand the use of technologies, but ferguson is the longest rebellion. it's second to the montreal busboy in terms of duration and impact. it's a unique moment. a moment of montgomerie, sell ma. part of that uniqueness has to do with the way black, poor, queer, women, single mothers are at the forefront of the leadership. while some are deploying the rich and nonviolence. building upon the rich legacy of organization of black struggles, we see that it looks different. sounds different. led. >> is there unification within the black community that we have not seen in the past emerging out of ferguson. >> what we have seen - yes, what has emerged over 365 days, a global response to the delay of our son's body in the street for 4.5

there are some great parent organizing organizations but no one has ever attacked them for candidate that is one of the things i'm looking at. >> when we talk about the gatekeeper network it has a bit of a negative connotation as you think of the shadowy network which is true in a lot of cases. i also think when you're in the enough is to become the gatekeeper and with her project she is trying to create this other then. can't gatekeeping be used for good and how have you worked with at, and how you are thinking about it, jessica, would be great. >> yeah so, part of my job is to get more democrats on the ballot specifically for legislative races. my role as a party leader, gatekeeper of enso definitely it can be a useful role. but i've done since the beginning of my political involvement as work i'm barriers and does the leader i see that as part of my job and i will continue to do that. >> i worked this year with a black woman council in pennsylvania and she's a reproductive justice later in the state and leads the largest black women return to just have a deal that just have been t

agencies and non-governmental organizations, or n.g.o.'s. >> many haitians resent this. >> it is like those guys, let's help them, but they always want to think for us, to design for us, to do things for us. >> haiti's prime minister admits there's a problem. >> we are conscious how it has affected the sovereignty of our country. it's a consequence of a long continuing crisis of instability. >> this university student says haiti would be better off on its own. >> i think they should go. they brought us cholera, they cause more misery. >> without foreign help, like these volunteers from doctors without borders working alongside haitian physicians, the health system would get worse. education, too, depends on outsiders, 90% of schools are operated or funded by churches and foreign organizations. one bright spot is policing. the head of the u.n. police operations said the haitian national police or h.n.p. is doing the job of law and order. >> it's a myth to think that the h.n.p. is not doing it now. i can tell you i see it every day. my offic

this is not some organization that's being attacked and they can't fight back. go ahead, adam, what do you think? >> this is a good example of misdirection and misusing language. this is not about defunding. planned parenthood performs medical procedures and me kate pays for them. if we want to have a conversation sh should medicaid stop paying for abortion at every health care institution that provides them, let's have that conversation. >> how about health care institutions -- by the way, how about health care institutions de facto arms of the democratic party? because that's what this is. >> you're changing the subject. >> i'm not changing the subject. we aren't funding -- >> it's exactly the same subject. planned parenthood -- >> let me finish. we're not writing a check for planned parenthood. we are allowing them to take advantage of medicaid law. >> we are funding an organization that is part and parcel of the democratic party and that is unfair. >> let me jump in one second. adam -- >> -- not eligible to provide a -- >> adam, should they have access to ta

it is the face of organized crime as i see it. law enforcement needs to be fluid enough to attack that relationship. we can solve violence on the street but attack the organizations that are responsible for all of the drugs at the same time. >> gentlemen's time has expired. the gentlemen from idaho, mr. labador. >> thank you for being here and testifying about the import rise of use of heroin across the united states. one particular concern i that i would like to address is the expanded population of heroin uses. you you have mention in 2013 that 169,000 people over the age of 12 used heroin for the first time within the past year with the average age of first time user at around 25. you cited data of the heroin starters 86% were prior prescription drug users. i understand your agency is addressing the drugs in america but what is being done to prevent the rise in addiction to prescription drugs? >> i think what we are doing is important. awareness is really important. prior to leaving chicago, i attended a meeting about two years

they change organizations? >> the beauty of our internship is it is a long-term commitment by the company to our students. so the multiyears allow them to get an understanding of the culture, and really get a master of the skill sets that qowld take them to have success. >> she would have four ynars are they all four year programs? >> dpengtding a senior or freshman three to four years. >> what about compensation? >> a paid internship. >> now you see fines. companies so committed to students to help them also with their scholarships to matching fund that pay ors tuition and school costs for students to have an opportunity to do well during the school year. >> how did you finding out about the program marisch? >> one of my mentors from high school heard about the program and actually encouraged me to alie, and a it is just that word of mouth networking if i didn't meet that person then i wouldn't have known about the program get yourself out there as young as a high school students and letting them know about yo

review the city as a living organism. think of the senses with the peripheral nervous system provided by gateway wireless. central nervous system itself. the central brain by local cloud computing and connections are the 10 gigabit connection would like to see across institutions in the cities. the exercise in the form of hacker cons. we did many across the country and finally we integrate activities by creating accelerator teams to develop applications that take advantage of internet of things and deliver services as daniel so well described. i will provide a few other examples. this is the gigabit frontier we are working on. the amount of data node in the vertical access in the amount of times it takes to move the data. we have on our website different applications at various stages of development that we move along the frontier to those applications. the kind of capabilities our big data, visual data and exploitation to see what the big data are saying with virtual reality engaging applications, real-time low latency.

that's hard. >> we became very much involved with an organization -- very much involved with an organization called hostage uk. hostage uk is a nongovernmental organization build and designed to support hostage families and returned hostages. they are able to link to the government, help share information with families, but more importantly, they are can walk families through this whole process. when jim was captured, our first response was, where do we go next? well f you have a group of people who have been through all this, you don't have to go through all the ojt that diane did, going back and forth. we can pair people with -- we call them responders. rachel briggs, who is the director of hostage uk, is planning to come to the united states, to help us set this organization up. and we're all -- one of the goals of the fund is to support that financially. it it won't be a simple deal. but we think that when that, in fact, happens, we'll have such a better support mechanism for families in great distress, obviously. and we're looking forward to moving in that direction. >> thanks. david, j

this organization was the smallest of the three organizations and as a result was very selective with their candidates. , ithe three organizations was the most preferred choice with the second being the women's royal neighbors service. ats was the largest of the three organizations and was least favorite among women because it accepted those who were unable to get into the other forces. ats had also developed a reputation of promiscuity and poor living conditions. many women also saw the tacky -- khaki uniforms as unappealing, and as a result, it caused women to favor women's royal naval service. during the war, approximately 487,000 women volunteered for women service. 80,000 for the women's royal naval service. 185,000 for the waf. 220,000 for the ats. by the demands of the wartime 1941, industry called for women 's service to be expanded so that more men could be relieved of their previous positions and take on more active roles on the battlefield. my next chapter is about strong women in france. the 70th anniversary of d-day landings last year was an occasion to revisit joyful pic

is a collusion between the government and organized crime and i cannot explain the power organized crime and doug -- drug cartels have without the pollution they are in. [speaking spanish] speaking gen also everything they do to them before they are killed but also for instance women who died because they don't have access to legal abortions or also basic services that cause women to die. heat crimes again, women. >> i will open the floor to questions but before i do, i want to ask john how you organize the book beginning with lucha castro's letter and her son's letter to her. and how you broke it up. challenge this idea of the statistics. each chapter is the name of a woman. >> i have to admit the structure of the book was primarily done -- >> the story you would like to tell, how you ellis traded it. of one of the women here and how you went about telling her story. >> we met her son in el paso. it is in the book as well. i had a brief encounter with him over a series of meetings and interviews we sat down and had an interview and he speaks fluent english so it was very easy to bounce

how are we organizing that, bill? oh, nancy, right. >> if i -- while we're doing that, let me jump in here because john and diane put their finger on two things here. one is the government's willingness to negotiate, but if they are not going to do that, why there is a need for support so that the families that are left to do this have appropriate support, training and assistance. when our people were taken in libya and this is again showing the difference between having a major organization behind us. i have a coach who sits in the office with me while i talk to the libyans and the state department and the families. and it is just like having an executive coach. when i hang up. he says here is what you did that was really good and not so hot but tomorrow we're going to do better and it makes a huge difference to have somebody with expertise in doing that. if you are going to be left to do it yourself, you need that support. so it is both of that. getting the government engaged and also providing appropriate assistanc

just about everyone of these mothers has their own organization or are involved in an organization.ot of amazing organizing goingg on that issue. there's a lot of young people who are involved in the climate justice issue and we see that movement on camp -- campuses across the country. and we see in the immigrant community a lot of young people who are risking their own status here in the united states by comingow out as undocumented people, by challenging the system of mass deportationses. so there is a lot of good organizations that's going on. and was there anything else that he brought up? >> host: i think you've answered quite a few of his concerns. kate, thank you for having the courage to speak true to power she grew up in a military family agrees with you 100%. i'm a lawyer and would like to provide probonno legal services. >> we would love your services. we do need the help, we need help when people get arrested. wep need probono attorneys. for example, we have the only active court case open in the united states on behalf of an iraqi women who is trying to sue the united s

all aid organizations in kenya are supposed to register with him. he has a list of more than nine thousand groups. whether they actually do any good is something ochido and his staff of just 21 can't determine. and kenya's government is not really interested in knowing. >> if you compare the aid industries with the other key sectors that generate revenue, that generate foreign exchange for this country like horticulture, for instance, and tourism, you'll find that they're fairly close together. they're comparable. in certain years, i mean it's possible that the aid industry could actually be bringing in more money. >> around a billion euros in aid money flows into kenya year after year. the business of misery is flourishing. and the worse the misery, so much the better. kibera is said to be africa's biggest slum and home to a million. but figures from a census conducted in 2009 counter that claim. it concluded that only 194,000 people lived in kibera. >> and even in 1999 it was already packed with buildings and because the land area is not increasin

when i met him in thelate 1960s or early 1980s, he was a community organizer. he's always working for justice in our community here in oakland and grew up in oakland and has been here in oakland all his life. welcome, paul cox. >> it is a pleasure to be here today. >> great to have you. >> tell us a little bit about your background. >> i was born in oak lan, my parents come from oklahoma and mississippi. >> uh-huh. >> i was born in oakland, i have attended schools in oakland and i have had the opportunity to travel all over the country as a journalist and as an activist and participant in the civil rights struggle and as an advocate for change. >> you told me earlier that you had not taken a course in journalism but you are gifted in writing detail is. >> no, i did not take any courses in journalism, i got great grades and english and writing and composition and i remember as a youngster, i was a spelling bee champion and i have alway scarbbling. >> when you start to realize you have that gift, what made you to work in the community as you did so. >> my mother

-- other organizations of the time. they were flexible, and they did not perpetuate many of the organizational issues that really had been keeping women on the periphery of male-dominated organizations. for example, they didn't charge deuce, was they didn't want -- deuce, because they didn't want to limit anyone's participation. they had meet thanksgiving various locations. sometimes they would be in the masonic temple, various local black churches. so, again, they created an organization that was designed to insure that they had the greatest participation from local women. in addition to these kind of key activism points of the civil rights movement, they were involved this women's strike for peace, they also engaged in antipoverty initiatives, they participated in freedom summer and helped create an organization called wednesdays in mississippi. so, again, they had this very broad-based understanding of what it meant to be a civil rights activist. another unique aspect of the organization was that many of the organize

they're not organizing protests.e in the background or participating rather than in the front. >> host: how recognizable are you on the street, on an airplane by name? >> guest: not really. there's people who will come up and say know you from somewhere and they'll keep looking at me and then say oh, yes, aren't you the activist? or i was just in congress the other day and somebody came up and said, aren't you medea benjamin? and he was somebody who had flown in to lobby for the aipac lobby group against the iran deal, and i thought uh-oh maybe he is going to hit me because i have been hit many times. hit in the face, pushed, shoved. i suffer a lot of physically often times by larger men who don't like my political views. so i suddenly got very defensive, and he said, no, i just want to tell you that while i disagree with about 190% of what you -- 90% of what you say and do i appreciate how much you care about these issues. and i was just very relieved about that. so sometimes people recognize me but most of the time

i think there is a vacuum of organized -- organization. these are not quite the same thing. in ferguson, the leadership was there. it was mobilizing people. it was saying, let's do something about this. let's raise some hell about this. today, things are not happening as quickly and are not put together as quickly as they were there then. >> yeah. if today somebody said, we are going to make julian bond the de facto head of ferguson response after it had happened, differently? >> i would have organized people to march or protest in a particular way in a particular direction. i would have them saying, we are all going to knock on these doors. we are going to make this noise. we are going to do this thing right here. we are going to be a machine moving and yelling and screaming and making noise. and that is the difference i would make. >> we look back at the civil rights movement as students of it and people who weren't even there. we see people like yourself, like martin luther king, andy young. we could have a long list but when we look today, we see very often, jesse jackso
