Exciting news. The Missing (themissingny.nycitynewsservice.com) is a finalist in the "Student Projects - Large" category of ONA's 2015 awards. My colleagues and I worked long, hard hours to put The Missing together and the result is an in-depth project that engages and intrigues.
Here's hoping for the win.
The legal attack led by Public Advocate Letitia James alleges the city has failed to address lengthy delays and abuse in the foster-care system. Some believe a courtroom is the wrong forum to tackle those issues, but suit supporters say the time for other approaches has passed.

Who are The Missing?
For the last three months, my fellow journalists at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and I have worked on a multimedia project focused on missing people in New York — who are they, what are their stories and how they are found. That project, titled "The Missing," went live this week. Check it out here: themissingny.nycitynewsservice.com.
After years of being stopped by police, I’ve started to internalize their scrutiny. I’ve doubted myself, wondered if I’ve actually done something to provoke them. Once you’re accused enough times, you begin to assume your own guilt, to stand in for your oppressor. It’s exhausting to have to justify your freedoms in a supposedly free society. I don’t talk about race for attention or personal gain. I would much rather write about sports or theatre or music than carding and incarceration. But I talk about race to survive. If I diminish the role my skin colour plays in my life, and in the lives of all racialized people, I can’t change anything.

New Bill Would Help Domestic Violence Survivors Find Shelter for Their Pets Too
A federal bill reintroduced in March by Reps. Katherine Clark (D-MA) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) would help make more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters a possibility for people like Rivera, who fear that their dogs, cats, or other animals will be harmed by their abusive partners.
HR 1258, known as the Pet and Women Safety (PAWS) Act, would create a grant program to help agencies working with survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to develop housing programs that accommodate survivors and their pets.

In the February of 1996, I sent David Carr two poorly conceived college-newspaper articles and a chapbook of black-nationalist poetry—and David Carr hired me. I can’t even tell you what he saw. I know that I immediately felt unworthy—a feeling that never quite faded—because I was a knucklehead and a fuck-up. But what I didn’t then know about David Carr was that he’d written and edited the knucklehead chronicles, and published annual editions wholly devoted to the craft of fucking-up. I think that David—recovering crack addict, recovering alcoholic, ex-cocaine dealer, lymphoma survivor, beautiful writer, gorgeous human—knew something about how a life of fucking up burrows itself into the bones of knuckleheads, and it changes there, transmutes into an abiding shame, a gnawing fear which likely dogs the reformed knucklehead right into the grave. Perhaps that fear could be turned into something beautiful. Perhaps a young journalist could pull power from that fear, could write from it, the way Bob Hayes ran with it, because the fear was not of anything earthly but of demons born from profound shame and fantastic imagination.

Nearly two weeks after Brittany Maynard used Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act to end her life at the age of 29, the New Jersey General Assembly passed a similar aid in dying bill that gives terminally ill patients the right to help in precipitating their death. The bill’s success was likely indicative of the way Maynard’s advocacy has shaped the conversation around aid in dying laws, particularly in response to the antagonistic rhetoric espoused by the anti-choice and religious right contingents.
From my latest article for RH Reality Check on the anti-choice and religious right influence on the opposition to Death with Dignity.
I also posted some additional reporting to my website. You can read that here.

This L.A. graffiti artist wants to change how you think about the homeless
Skid Robot, an anonymous street artist based in Los Angeles, makes luxury appear out of thin air with his work. A canopy bed, piles of money, the Taj Mahal — he’s spray painted it all.
The artwork itself is only half the story, however. It’s the people featured alongside his graffiti that are Skid Robot’s true focus.
