From public funding cuts to personal turning points, our reporters look to the margins for stories shaped by policy, protest and resilience. The California State Library is one of many libraries that had their federal funding terminated. Those with reading disabilities are among the most affected. A young artist is challenging the application of euthanasia for those with mental illness and is having dinner with as many strangers as possible before he passes. Women with ADHD who are transitioning into menopause are dealing with amplified ADHD traits. Weekly protests against Elon Musk and the Trump Administration outside Walnut Creek’s Tesla Showroom have grown immensely since February. The Trump Administration has stopped funding for refugee resettlement, leaving those who run resettlement agencies, like Chris George, disheartened.
This is a recording of North Gate Radio that was broadcast live on KALX radio station, 90.7FM.

Anna Zou: Good morning and welcome to North Gate Radio, I’m Anna Zou.
Edith Matthias: And I’m Edith Matthias
Anna Zou: It’s Thursday, May 1st. Happy first of the month, everyone!
Edith Matthias: We’re starting the month with a pretty eclectic mix of stories.
Anna Zou: First, we’ll hear about how the California State Library’s federal funding has been cut and how it’s affecting the blind and print disabled
Jan Santos: Well, I wouldn’t have been able to read any books unless somebody read ’em to me.
Edith Matthias: Then we’ll hear about a young artist who is having as many dinners with strangers as he can before pursuing assisted death.
Claire Donjacour: I was like, oh, I have to meet this guy. I have to have dinner with this guy.
Anna Zou: We’ll also learn about the impact of perimenopause on the memory of some women with ADHD.
Celina Gomes: I’m like, is this, is this just this time in my life? Am I gonna be somebody more prone to losing memory when I’m older?
Edith Matthias: And then we’ll take you to the Tesla Showroom in Walnut Creek, which has been attracting thousands of weekly protestors.
Protest Chants: When I say people, you say power! People! Power! People! Power! When I say people, you say power! People! Power! People! Power! When I say people, you say power.
Anna Zou: After that, we hear about how the Trump Administration has stopped the funding for Refugee Resettlement, and how administrators are becoming disheartened.
Chris George: Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was a refugee.
Edith Matthias: But first, the news…
Anasooya Thorakkattu: Live from North Gate News I am Anasooya Thorakkattu.
It’s May Day … rallies are expected in more than 50 locations across the Bay … including Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco, the UC Berkeley campus and Roosevelt Park in San Jose. So if you’re driving, you may want to plan accordingly.
Also known as International Workers Day … May day came into being in 1889 … to commemorate the infamous Haymarket riot, which happened several years earlier. That event took place in Chicago and workers were fighting for an eight hour work day.
BAMPFA, in Berkeley … lost $230,000 in federal funding for its African American quilt collection.
The grant was revoked because of an executive order by President Trump targeting cultural institutions seen as promoting “woke” ideologies.
The museum’s collection of nearly 3,000 quilts —is one of the largest of its kind.
Despite the setback, BAMPFA is moving ahead with its major exhibition on the legacy of African American quilters in California. That exhibit is called “Routed West” and it opens in June.
A group of Oakland residents is making it their mission to clean up the streets.
Illegal dumping has been a problem in Oakland but the city faces a budget deficit.
So these residents, working with the Urban Compassion Project, are taking it upon themselves to transform a 2.4 mile stretch from 14th and East 12th to the 50th street.
It’s a year long initiative … and the group hopes more residents of Oakland will join.
#East12thMovement has already raised close to $13,000 to fund the clean up.
For North Gate News, I’m Anasooya Thorakkattu
Edith Matthias: Live from North Gate Radio … I’m Edith Matthias
Anna Zou: And I’m Anna Zou. The Institute of Museum and Library Services, maybe you haven’t heard of it but Elon Musk and his DOGE team have!
Edith Matthias: It’s a federal agency that funds programs in libraries across the country, right?
Anna Zou: On March 14th, Trump signed A LOT of executive orders, and cutting the funds of this agency was one of them.
Edith Matthias: These executive orders are hard to understand…and keep up with!
Anna Zou: Our reporter Jasmine Ascencio recently met with the California State Library and they say that California’s blind and print disabled will be impacted by this.
Alex Vassar: The first time I came in here, I was like,
Elevator: Floor B
Alex Vassar: This is a lot.
Jasmine Ascencio: That’s Alex Vassar, a spokesperson for the California State Library in Sacramento.
We’re in an elevator headed to Floor B, the basement of the library, which is where the Braille and Talking Book Library stores its materials.
When the elevator door opens … we walk down a hallway and into a large room … and the walls are lined with rows and rows of shelves filled with braille books.
Alex Vassar: I hope to show you, uh, it will blow your mind, the joy of cooking.
Jasmine Ascencio: The Joy of Cooking is a little more than 1,000 pages … but in Braille …
Alex Vassar: And so the joy of cooking is 30 volumes, uh, on a shelf.
Jasmine Ascencio: The book is 30 volumes because raised dots of braille don’t allow the pages to lie flat and that makes the books larger … too large for local libraries to store.
So if a library patron needs a Braille book, they call the State Library and…
Alex Vassar: We have a shipping and receiving team, a circulation room where they actually send these things out to the patrons.
Jasmine Ascencio: Over the years, the State Library has also produced audio for books that aren’t on tape.
There’s a dedicated recording studio and volunteers come in to read the books out loud. Vassar says one volunteer has recorded around 20 books a year for the past five or six years.
Alex Vassar: There’s a Monday morning guy who comes in and he decided to do it when he retired. He has a great speaking voice. We call him, The Voice, amazing voice.
Jasmine Ascencio: The State Library basically serves as the only braille and talking book library in Northern California. In Southern California, the Braille Institute plays this role.
But as of April 1st, the Institute of Museum and Library Services … or IMLS … has cut the pool of funding that this service draws from.
Alex Vassar: I think we’ve had this program for a hundred years. Um, and. It’s just, it’s suddenly, it’s, the funding is no longer being provided for the people.
Jasmine Ascencio: People like Jan Santos …
Jan Santos: Hello?
Jasmine Ascencio: Hi!
Jan Santos: Hi, is that Jasmine?
Jasmine Ascencio: Yes
Jan Santos: Come on in.
Jasmine Ascencio: All right
Jasmine Ascencio: I met Santos at the East Bay Center for the Blind in Berkeley … she was the center’s former director for 14 years. Santos is 77-years-old and blind. She found out about the program when she was a kid.
Jan Santos: I think my grandmother got in touch with them when I was about in seventh grade and got me set up to get books from ’em, and they send them in the mail.
Jasmine Ascencio: Santos says Braille books have always been hard to come by and expensive.
Without the state library’s program, Santos says she would have been dependent on others to access the world of books and access would have been very limited.
Jan Santos: Well, I would’ve not been able to read any books unless somebody read ’em to me.
Jasmine Ascencio: Santos says access to books is about more than entertainment … It’s about making sure people like her, who have so much to give, aren’t left out.
Jan Santos: If you need to participate in a class or an activity or a job, the information will be harder to get so we won’t be able to equally participate and contribute in society.
Alex Vassar: One of the things that somebody pointed out recently that I had not even thought about, They said, well, have you ever tried shopping for braille books on Amazon? And I said, I have not. They said, it’s not a thing. Like it’s, it’s not there.
Jasmine Ascencio: That’s Alex Vassar again from the State Library.,
And remember … there are lots of books that don’t have an audio version either.
During the last year, the library sent out more than five thousand Braille books and about 373 thousand audio books.
It costs the State Library about $3 million dollars to provide and distribute these books to blind and print disabled people in Northern California. But with IMLS cutting about $16 million dollars in funding … it’s unclear if the Braille and Talking Book Library can continue.
Alex Vassar: We are gonna try to figure out our situation, but we also know that there are a lot of people in the communities that are hurting…
Jasmine Ascencio: While the State Library is searching for ways to keep the Braille and Talking Book Library going, California joined a lawsuit in early April with nearly two dozen states claiming that the Trump administration cut funds illegally. The case is still ongoing.
For North Gate Radio, I’m Jasmine Ascencio.
Anna Zou: Quick heads up, our next story includes themes of suicide and mental illness. If that’s hard to hear right now, it’s okay to take a break or skip this part.
Edith Matthias: We’ve gotten accustomed to the idea of euthanasia for folks facing a terminal illness. But British-Ghanaian artist Joseph Awuah-Darko is challenging that understanding of euthanasia.
In December, Awuah-Darko announced on Instagram that he’s applying for euthanasia because he’s suffering from a mental illness. Depression and bipolar disorder, to be exact. But before he passes on, Awuah-Darko wants to have dinner with as many strangers as possible. He’s calling it “The Last Supper Project.”
I spoke to Claire Donjacour, who shared dinner with the artist back in December.
Edith Matthias: Late last year, Awuah-Darko went on Instagram and asked his 350,000 Instagram followers if they would like to invite him around for dinner whilst he still has time left on Earth.
Joseph Awuah-Darko: The idea I have is called the Last Supper Project. Basically, over the next few months, I would like anyone who is willing to invite me over to prepare their favorite meal for dinner.
Edith Matthias: Awuah-Darko is pursuing assisted suicide because he says, after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 16 and having tried all kinds of medication and therapy, his illness can’t be treated, and you can hear the pain that this has caused him.
Joseph Awuah-Darko: I’m tired, I’m a bit tired, I’m just so tired, I’m just so tired.
Claire Donjacour: I saw the video of Joseph crying that he was tired…
Edith Matthias: Claire Donjacour is a neurologist in Amsterdam. And she was one of the 3,000 people who answered Joseph’s call to meet.
Claire Donjacour: It really touched me, especially because I saw his pain, and it was exactly the pain I used to see in my brother.
Edith Matthias: Donjacour’s brother suffered from bipolar disorder. Whilst he claimed to have had a wonderful life with a loving girlfriend, good job, and a nice house, the constant cycle between hypomania and depression was never-ending. Danjacour’s brother didn’t want to wait until his condition ruined the lives of his loved ones, which led him to take his own life at the age of 23.
While Donjacour has had many years to come to terms with this grief, she still wishes that her brother could have had more control over his own death.
Claire Donjacour: My brother, he tried everything, but it was like a switch in his brain, and everything would turns black at a certain moment.
Edith Matthias: Many people who reached out to Awuah-Darko, like Donjacour, have loved ones suffering from mental illness.
Claire Donjacour: So I thought it was so brave. I was like, oh, I have to meet this guy. I have to have dinner with this guy. I really felt the urge to comfort him somehow. Not to tell him not to do it because, you know, I wish that my brother could have done the same.
Edith Matthias: Awuah-Darko moved to the Netherlands because it’s one of four countries in the world that allows assisted suicide for cases of extreme mental illness.
Euthanasia for mental illness is becoming more popular in the Netherlands. In 2010, the number of people who died by euthanasia due to psychiatric suffering was only two. In 2023, that number jumped to 138.
Dr. Nicole Lederman: I think that the overall question that he is asking is I think a worthy one, which is, do people have a right to avail themselves of assisted death for treatment-resistant mental illness?
Edith Matthias: Dr Nicole Lederman is a primary Care Physician in San Francisco. Over decades of practicing, she has worked with many patients who have had suicidal ideation due to mental illness.
Dr. Nicole Lederman: I think that for people with profound major depression, they are suffering a lot and some of them are treatment resistant, and you know in probably in just as much pain as somebody with a neurological dysfunction that’s painful or cancer that’s painful.
Edith Matthias: While Dr Lederman agrees that people should have the right to chose how they die in certain circumstances, she is skeptical about Awuah-Darko’s Last Supper Project and his use of social media.
Dr. Nicole Lederman: I kind of had this profound sense that he was using his audience as kind of an art project, you know, just kind of feeding his own sense of his artistic vision.
Edith Matthias: The Last Supper Project has also been met online with an equal outpouring of support and concern about Awuah-Darko’s euthanasia decision.
But that hasn’t stopped Awuah-Darko from sharing his journey and the dinners he has enjoyed with strangers. His goal: to normalize conversations surrounding mental illness.
Donjacour agrees. And so she got in touch with Awuah-Darkos one morning in December. As it turned out, Awuah-Darkos had a free evening that day and asked if he could come over to dinner
Claire Donjacour: Normally, if I had known beforehand, I think I would have prepared a special dinner for over a week. And my mind was like, oh my God, what am I, what shall I make?
Edith Matthias: She wasn’t ready for an impromptu dinner party and needed to buy food, cook, and tidy her home before he arrived.
Claire Donjacour: Because in Joseph’s bio it said, I have no dietary restrictions and I translated it as I eat everything… That was wrong.
Edith Matthias: And she made some soup, and the soup was a hit, the chicken salad, not so much.
Claire Donjacour: His feet were cold, his food was crappy. I looked silly, and you know, so it was a mess, but I think I’ll get a second chance in the future.
Edith Matthias: But it wasn’t that much of a disaster. On Instagram, Awuah-Darko remembered their dinner fondly because he believes that the point of the project is not about hosting perfect dinner parties; it’s about the importance of human connection.
Claire Donjacour: I was really happy when I saw his story, uh, last week that he, he posted our video again and said, I miss my neurologist. And I was like, oh, I’m here. I’m here for you.
Edith Matthias: As Joseph awaits the confirmation of his euthanasia request, he will continue to form new connections with hundreds of strangers from around the world.
Anna Zou: That was Edith Matthias for North Gate Radio.
Edith Matthias: If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts. You can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline – they’re there 24/7.
Anna Zou: You ever have one of those days where you leave the house and you forget your keys–or maybe forget to make that payment? Well, imagine that happening ALL THE TIME
Edith Matthias: That’s what it can be like for women with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD.
Anna Zou: And imagine going through menopause too?!
Edith Matthias: Right?! Not only are you dealing with ADHD forgetfulness but also changing hormones. In a recent survey from ADDitude magazine – a publication for people living with ADHD – 94% of women reported having amplified ADHD traits during this time.
Reporter NeEddra James has more.
NeEddra James: Celina Gomes will be 43 this month. She’s been navigating perimenopause for almost three years.
NeEddra James: Hi!
We met at a cafe near her daughter’s school in San Francisco to chat about how perimenopause is affecting her ADHD.
But we often meandered into other topics: like Celina’s unique Maltese-Cape Verdean background, parenting neurodiverse kids, and that we share the 16th as our birth date.
Celina Gomes: You’re a 16er?!
NeEddra James: I’m a 16er!
Our conversion was full of exciting digressions that made us forget what we were talking about.
NeEddra James: What were we talking about?
Celina Gomes: No, I know.
NeEddra James & Celina Gomes: Memory!
Celina Gomes: So my short-term memory has gotten s–t.
NeEddra James: So, like a lot of ADHDers, Celina has lapses in her short-term memory. But she prided herself on her long-term memory.
Celina Gomes: I’m the person who everybody goes to to remember everything. I’m everybody else’s memory.
NeEddra James: But a few years into her perimenopause journey she started noticing her typical ADHD forgetfulness intensifying.
Celina Gomes: I’ve cried about it because I cannot recall names… and it just, it really bothers me.
NeEddra James: We continue to talk about memory challenges and I mention the difference between high stakes and low stakes forgetting:
…forgetting these kinds of things, no big cost if you forget it. But then there are things…you can’t just forget the kids at school, or forget the lunches at home, now you gotta drive back home.
Celina’s nodding her head as I mention forgetting lunches at home, then her eyes get really wide and she says,
Celina Gomes: Lunch! Oh my god, it’s my daughter’s lunch time and I’m supposed to bring her lunch, like right now!
NeEddra James: Let’s do it. Let’s make it happen.
Celina Gomes: Okay, do you wanna go get lunch?
NeEddra James: Celina runs in the market next door, grabs lunch for her daughter and we sprint up the block to her kid’s school for the hand off.
She makes it just in time.
What is it about perimenopause that seems to amplify ADHD forgetfulness?
Researchers think the answer is estrogen.
During perimenopause, the ovaries begin releasing the last of their egg supply. This leads to erratic estrogen production – sometimes it’s way too much, other times it’s not enough.
ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. It impacts memory and long term planning. Neurotransmitters like dopamine and acetylcholine regulate these critical functions.
Dr. Janette Wasserstein: Acetylcholine is particularly important in memory.
NeEddra James: That’s Dr. Janette Wasserstein, a leading researcher on ADHD in women at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine in New York City. She says neurotransmitter systems, like acetylcholine, need estrogen to function their best
Dr. Janette Wasserstein: So, the direct effect of estrogen on memory is increasing the levels of acetylcholine, much like the medications used for dementia.
NeEddra James: Estrogen is also protective – it prevents the neurons involved in memory from breaking down – a key sign of Alzheimer Disease.
Which brings us back to Celina.
For thousands of perimenopausal ADHDers like Celina, the higher their estrogen levels, the more manageable their ADHD traits.
But when estrogen is sparse – life can become a hot mess.
So, what can women like Celina do?
While hormone replacement therapy or stimulant medications are options for some women, Dr. Wasserstein says we just need more research to develop better treatment options.
NeEddra James: After dropping off her daughter’s lunch, Celina and I picked up our conversation. She says her loss of short term memory is starting to scare her:
Celina Gomes: I can like feel tears in my eyes right now because I get scared. I’m like, is this, this time in my life? Am I gonna be somebody more prone to losing memory when I’m older? And it’s something that I love so much.
NeEddra James: Stories like Celina’s highlight critical gaps in research and care for women with ADHD. But, the emerging link between estrogen and heightened ADHD symptoms offers hope for better treatments ahead.
Until then, women living at this challenging intersection continue to be pioneers —building support networks, sharing strategies, and bringing visibility to experiences long kept in the shadows.
Their persistence may ultimately transform how we approach both ADHD and menopause care for generations to come.
For North Gate Radio, I’m NeEddra James.
Edith Matthias: Every Saturday since February protestors have been gathering in front of the Tesla Showroom in Walnut Creek.
It started with a few dozen people but on some weekends more than a thousand protestors have showed up.
Anasooya Thorakkattu went out to Walnut Creek recently to see what the protest was about.
[Protest Chants: Hey, hey, Ho, ho Elon Musk has got to go, hey, hey ho, ho]
Mark DeSaulnier: So we’re across the street from the Tesla dealership and say, you can’t buy us and we’re not gonna be bullied.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: Is it okay if you can introduce yourself?
Mark DeSaulnier: Ok, I am Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, I represent this area most of Contra Costa County and part of Alameda County.
So, here we are in a suburban community, the Bay Area with people using their voice in a very frustrating, dangerous period for this country to come out and express their anger and their determination to overcome people like Elon Musk.
Heather Martinez: I’m Heather Martinez.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: Can you read out what’s in your card?
Heather Martinez: It’s Elon Musk with some dollar sign eyes and some horns. He’s taking away so much from us and then he plays the victim like why are you doing this to Tesla?
Anasooya Thorakkattu: What is the message that you’re trying to convey through the protest?
Heather Martinez: It’s crazy how many people, Elon Musk have fired. They’re losing so many things and I don’t think there is any place for somebody outside of our government to be telling people what they should be doing or not.
Meredith Yolenti: My name is Meredith Yolenti and I am with Cancer Survivors for Science.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: Are you coming from Walnut Creek itself?
Meredith Yolenti: I live in Clayton, but this is important enough to travel.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: What is upsetting you the most at this point of time?
Meredith Yolenti: We oppose the cuts that have been made to funding for cancer research and research that has made great advances in the treatment of horrible diseases.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: How have you been involved with the protest?
Mark DeSaulnier: For this out of the six weeks, I’ve been out for four of them. It’s just inspiring. So it started with about 40 of us and I don’t know how many people were here today, but there was over a thousand last week, and I think there are more here today.
So we’re gonna turn the tide here and get more Americans to realize that him and his billionaire president, buddy, don’t speak for us.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: Is there any specific administrative measures that have upsetted you?
Heather Martinez: So, I’m gonna say this, I’m a human, so every single one is affecting me because it affects them, it affects anybody else.
Meredith Yolenti: All of the drastic cuts that have been made to our government without congressional approval, without decision making put in by our democratically elected congressional representatives who legally set in the constitution, hold the purse strings.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: What is the outcome that you’re expecting from these protests?
Meredith Yolenti: I would like the people in government to know that we do not support these changes. We demand that they follow our constitution.
Anasooya Thorakkattu: Did you come alone today?
Meredith Yolenti: I came with my family. My husband is over there and my little daughter is over there holding up a sign that says…Charlotte, can you read up what your sign says?
Charlotte: Hands off my grandparents’ Medicare.
Edith Matthias: That was Anasooya Thorakkattu outside of the Tesla dealership in Walnut Creek. She reached out to Tesla for comment but they did not respond.
Anna Zou: Did you know that there were around 100,000 refugees coming to the United States every year?
Edith Matthias: Oh really? I thought the Trump Administration defunded refugee programs in the first weeks of his presidency?
Anna Zou: Well, that’s why reporter Robert Strauss paid a visit to Chris George in his home in the New York suburbs. George has been working at a resettlement agency in Connecticut for the last two decades and he’s worked for the Peace Corps in Oman, American Friends Service in Lebanon, and Save the Children in Gaza. Reporter Robert Strauss has more.
Robert Strauss: Tell me what you think of the situation now in the refugee community?
Chris George: Well, a year ago under the Biden administration we were – we being the national network of refugee resettlement agencies – we were hoping to set our record and we settle 125,000 refugees across the United States. That’s what we were looking forward to. That’s what this country should be doing.
We have the resources to do that. You know, I’ve always thought of refugee resettlement, the program that welcomes persecuted people from all over the world, and historically supported by Republicans and Democrats.
I mean, you know, we have a long and proud tradition of welcoming refugees. Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was a refugee. He’s the poster child for the refugee resettlement program.
So it’s surprising that that deeply American tradition is being gutted by a United States administration.
Robert Strauss: How is a refugee different than somebody just trying to get into the United States with a green card.
Chris George: Good question. So the international law and the US law definition of a refugee is a person who has fled his or her home country because they have been persecuted. Persecuted on the basis of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular ethnic group, or a particular group in general, or their political opinion.
They are vetted by the Department of Homeland Security. And that vetting process is the most rigorous in the world. When someone tells you, “Oh, we don’t know who these people are. They’re not vetted. They could be terrorists.” Don’t believe them for a minute. The vetting process is long. It’s tough. It’s invasive. It retraumatizes people.
Robert Strauss: So, more or less, one percent of the world is a refugee.
Chris George: That’s right. You’ve done the math. There are 36 million refugees in the world today. These are people who have met that definition, fled their home country because of persecution.
Robert Strauss: What do you think is in the mindset of the people who have decided that this isn’t what we want to do any more.
Chris George: They must be applying their attitude toward undocumented immigrants and migrants who come to the United States for the wrong reasons, which is a tiny, tiny fraction. They must be applying that profile to every single immigrant, which we know is nonsense.
Robert Strauss: How do journalists in general cover the refugee business?
Chris George: Unfortunately, for many years refugee agencies, including mine when I started, were afraid to speak to journalists, afraid that you know maybe a refugee might complain that their apartment wasn’t big enough.
Well, I’m sorry but this is an incredible story. Journalists were eager to cover it and, um, we need to get the word out. Hopefully in the midterm election, there will be more people elected who are sympathetic to refugee resettlement and also will stand up to these unamerican actions that are being taken by the administration.
So we will continue to fight over the next few years, but, yes, in the long run, we hope with a different administration the refugee program will come back as strong as ever and welcome large numbers of refugees.
