Harris discussed a new report, “The State of Human Trafficking in California 2012,” at the Ronald Tutor Campus Center on Friday. Harris was joined by U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and Attorney General of Mexico Marisela Morales. The press conference detailed the extent of human trafficking in California and suggested strategies for law enforcement and non-governmental organizations to fight against it. According to Harris, the report, which was released Friday, comes out of several months of work from hundreds of leaders in law enforcement, academia and non-governmental organizations. “[The report is a] renewed commitment across many jurisdictional lines to combat the issue of trafficking, Leaders in law, labor discuss report on human trafficking California Attorney General Kamala D.

The two movements took place concurrently on Trousdale Parkway. Last week, more than 400 rockets were fired at Israel with many hitting targets in the country and killing civilians. Israel has responded with attacks on Gaza, which have killed many Palestinian civilians. The escalated violence came after Israel killed Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari on Wednesday in a precision airstrike. On Friday, President Barack Obama spoke to Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reiterating the United States’ support for Israel’s right to defend itself. The protests were organized by students on Thursday and advertised to the student body on social networking sites, such as Facebook. Though not affiliated with any student organization on campus, the demonstrations included more than 20 people in support of each cause. Several more students passing by the center of campus offered their support for the demonstrators on either side. Demonstrators held flags and signs representing support for Israelis or Palestinians. Student demonstrator Linda Fawaz, a senior majoring in international relations global business and a member of Students for Justice in Palestine, was among demonstrators trying to highlight the violence against Palestinian civilians. “We felt like we needed to bear our signs,” Fawaz said. “This demonstration came out of necessity. We need to do something.” Several demonstrators support-ed the idea of a cease-fire in the con-flict. Fawaz said students involved in the demonstration also took part in a nonviolent protest at the Los Angeles Consulate on Thursday, an event that inspired students to hold a protest on campus. “I don’t think a lot of [students] pay attention to world events, so by having this silent solidarity for the victims of Gaza who have been suffering for half a century it might prompt the international community to actually act,” Fawaz said. Students who stood with Israel also held a peaceful demonstration near Tommy Trojan on Trousdale Parkway. On Friday morning, organizers released 500 balloons, which represented rockets fired toward Israel in the past year. The demonstrators hoped that their gathering could be used to inform the student body of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Sarah Sax, a junior majoring in broadcast and digital journalism and president of Trojans for Israel, has been following the conflict closely. The past week’s increased attack has led her and other supporters of Israel to react more vocally on this particular issue. “For years Israel has just been taking it,” Sax said. “We’ve come to a point where we’re not taking it anymore.” Sax believes demonstrating is a means to drawing attention on the long-lasting conflict. The objective of the event was to educate and raise awareness of the necessity to support Israel and the people being victimized, according to Sax. “All of this is happening and we just need to react,” Sax said. “We want people to recognize and understand the gravity of this situation and we want people to ask questions, be informed and continue dialogue.” Another group of students responded to the tension in the demonstrations by sitting in the middle of Trousdale and playing “Why Can’t We Be Friends.” All demonstrations stressed that they were not trying to conflict with the other one. “I hope people are just aware,” Sax said. “If we engage students in educated dialogue I believe there will be some change.” Students organize opposing protests on Israel, Palestine The demonstrations Friday on Trousdale Parkway were advertised through social networking sites and attracted many students.

The study’s findings seem fore-boding. California’s proportion of children without health cover-age has climbed over the years to reach 11 percent in 2011 — higher than the national average. According to experts, many factors drive these statistics, including the structure of a parent’s health insurance plan or whether a parent’s employer offers health insurance. “The most important reasons are that the parents [of the children] work in businesses that are not offering health insurance, either because they can’t afford it or because they choose not to for one reason or another. Or they may offer it to the parents, but not to the kids,” Report finds many youths uninsured The number of uninsured children in California is higher than the national average. | see care, page 2 |
