You are living your life right here where you grew up. You’ve always been here. Your life is here. You are a part of the community. Until, without reason, certain individuals perceive you differently. Because of your ethnicity or religion – and often heightened by very recent events to which you are completely uninvolved and perhaps geographically removed.More prevalent than most folks are aware, Antisemitism – the hatred, discrimination, fear, and/or prejudice directed toward Jews as individuals or as a group – is on the rise. There were over 10,000 antisemitic incidents recorded in the U.S. since October 7, 2023, including verbal or written harassment, vandalism and physical assault.When antisemitism appears in the workplace, it may lead to employees being harassed, marginalized, or discriminated againstTo help us better understand what this looks like or what you can do about it, YLR Host Jeff Hayden and tonight's producer Beth Mora are joined by Eric B. Kingsley, Kingsley & Kingsley, renowned employment attorney who has been actively involved in the Antidefamation League, and Past Bar Association of San Francisco President and Mark Schickman, who practices labor and employment law and civil litigation in San Francisco.Questions for Jeff, Beth, and their guests?

Supreme Court cases likely to come up during the next year.

“Today, our nation and world are at an inflection point,” Mary Smith, President of the American Bar Association, said. “At home and around the globe, autocrats and dictators threaten the rule of law. Our democracy is under strain." At the start of her presidential term in August 2023, ABA President Smith created the Task Force for American Democracy. The deans from more than 100 of America’s top law schools wrote a letter in support, concerning the training necessary for the next generation of lawyers to sustain our constitutional democracy and the rule of law. “The nation's law schools play a critical role in training the next generation of lawyers and upholding the core values of our profession,” remarked Heather K. Gerken, Yale Law School dean and member of the task force. “Through our joint efforts as outlined in [the] letter, we hope to set an example for our students as we prepare them to carry our democracy forward.”What forces are at play that threaten democracy in America, and throughout the world? Are they taking hold? Here?Tonight, YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is joined by Task Force member Maria Echaveste, a former U.S. presidential advisor to President Bill Clinton and White House Deputy Chief of Staff during the second Clinton Administration, and Brent Turner, a graduate of Lincoln Law School in San Francisco who was instrumental in the creation of the San Francisco County Voting Systems Task Force and who has been a Director of Communications for Open Voting Consortium.Questions for Jeff and his guests?

Protesting – engaging in free speech - is considered a protected political activity in California, whether the topic is war, immigration, body autonomy, a November ballot initiative, or another political issue here, or even abroad. Ensuring one’s right to free speech is one of our core tenants of democracy.In California, there are laws that limit the extent to which your employer may interfere with your right to engage in political activities; but, your specific rights as a worker who engages in a political protest and the extent an employer may interfere with your rights to engage, will depend on your situation and when, how, and where you decide to protest.Tonight, on your legal rights, with participation and assistance of the labor and employment law section of the California Lawyers Association, we resume our discussion about protests and the workplace: labor and employment law in an unsettled and evolving world.YLR Host, Jeff Hayden, is joined by Beth W.
