Under The Penumbra of Rights with Josie Stanfield

KPOV Board Member, founder of Central Oregon Diversity Project and Community Organizer Josie Stanfield talks with host Bruce Morris about the right to privacy found to exist in the United States Constitution and what the Supreme Court described as a "penumbra" of rights emanating from the Bill of Rights.

They discussed the recent draft overturning of Roe V. Wade. From there, the discussion moved to the other rights, such as the right to use contraception, same-sex marriage, marriage among different races, and more that are also based on the right to privacy and therefore at risk.

What rights are under the penumbra and what could be lost after Roe is overturned as expected?

Local Youth Juniper Rook (she/her) on the Life and Times of a Teen Activist

In 2018, 12-year-old, yes, 12-year-old Juniper came to KPOV to tell the community that she was organizing a student walkout to demand safe schools.

Juniper, now 16, and a Redmond Proficiency Academy student has become a highly effective activist. We recently profiled her again on the Point about another student walkout on gun safety and related bills in the Oregon legislature.

She also discussed her activism, history, motivation, the challenges and prejudices she faces as a young female activist, and a powerful letter she wrote to the Redmond City Council.

KPOV gave Juniper a platform to speak, she found her activist voice, and took off!
