WASHINGTON, DC –Congresswoman Maxine Waters (DCA), Chair of the House Committee on Financial Services, announced that the Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded a $15 million RAISE grant to the City of Inglewood to support the Inglewood Transit Connector (ITC) Project. “I am proud to announce that the Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded a $15 million grant to the City of Inglewood to support the groundbreaking Inglewood Transit Connector Project,” said Congresswoman Maxine Waters. “This innovative project will improve access to the City of Inglewood and provide my constituents a world-class transit connection from the Metro Crenshaw/LAX Line to downtown Inglewood and the City’s major sports, entertainment and employment centers.”Congresswoman Maxine Waters requested $20 million in funding for the ITC in April of 2021, during House consideration of transportation infrastructure legislation. While the House-passed infrastructure bill included $9 million for the ITC in As the monkeypox virus outbreak spreads across the globe, Gov. Gavin Newsom says California will need to galvanize “forces” across regions and relax some state regulations and statutes to combat a disease that poses a threat greater than local authorities may be able to respond to effectively. “California is working urgently across all levels of government to slow the spread of monkeypox, leveraging our robust testing, contact tracing and community partnerships strengthened during the pandemic to ensure that those most at risk are our focus for vaccines, treatment and outreach,” the Governor said Monday night as response to the Congresswoman’s request, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into law, did not designate funding for specific projects, but instead included $1.5 billion in funding through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, which resulted in the $15 million grant award for the ITC. “I am proud that my efforts to he declared a State of Emergency in California.TheCalifornia Department of Public Health (CDPH) has begun to collect and report racial and other demographic data, tracking how the disease is impacting various groups across the state.

The United States Department of Justice charged four former and current Louisville Police Officers with federal crimes of excessive force, obstruction of justice, deprivation of civil rights, and other crimes based on actions that ultimately resulted in the killing of Breonna Taylor in March 2020. Three were charged with depriving Ms. Taylor of her civil rights and obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up unlawful actions after Ms.Taylor was killed.The United States Attorney General and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights announced the charges this morning.TheNational Bar Association (NBA) President, Lonita K. Baker made a statement on today’s charges and plea. “While these charges and guilty pleas will not bring Breonna back, we hope it sends a message to all that no one is above the law. The NBA thanks Attorney General Garland, Assistant Attorney General Clarke and their staff for their diligence for pursuing justice in Breonna’s case. Where the Commonwealth failed to act, we either move on to the Senate Floor for further consideration or be held in committee.Ifthebill passes the Legislature, California would be the first state to ban the practice in private immigration facilities.

President Baker’s comments are not in connection with her private role with representing the family of Ms. Taylor. years of imprisonment in South Africa. In 2015, the United Nations also named its standards of imprisonment after Mandela and deemed any period of isolation beyond 15 days torture. Opponents of AB 2632 argue that suspending solitary confinement would complicate housing decisions and lead to dangerous living conditions for detainees and staff. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) reports the bill would necessitate a onetime cost of $775 million to double the programming space at each institution and a one-time cost of up to $512 million to expand exercise yards by approximately 50%. CDCR also reported the increase in custody staffing required to implement the bill across its 31 institutions would cost about $200 million annually. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) reports ongoing costs of about of $3.8 million would be incurred to establish 25 new permanent positions to assess CDCR facilities in accordance to AB 2632 and report the findings to the Legislature. AB 2632 is estimated to add millions in operating costs to the Board of State and Community Corrections, the Department of Justice, and county jails. However, a recent fiscal report titled “The Cost of Solitary Confinement: Why Ending Isolation in California Prisons Can Save Money and Save Lives” drafted by the Immigration Defense Advocates and Berkeley Underground Scholars highlights potential savings from implementing the Mandela Act. The report used figures from the 2016 state budget and cost estimates from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. It predicts savings between $60 and $300 million, while impacting more than 150 facilities in the“Thestate.Mandela Act builds on the decades of work done by detained individuals, activists and organizers to shed light on the darkness that is solitary confinement and allows for constructive alternatives. This bill promotes accountability, safety, and human decency and I hope others will see that too,” said Holden.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced federal charges against four former or current Louisville police officers over the botched raid that led to the death of Breonna Taylor (pictured).
Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus and Chair of the Assembly Appropriations Committee, has proposed legislation that would restrict prisons from holding people in solitary confinement, or all-day isolation for more than 15 consecutive days and no more than 45 days total, in a 6-month period.Assembly Bill (AB) 2632, a.k.a ‘The California Mandela Act’, would prohibit the practice entirely for persons belonging to a “special population,” including pregnant women, persons with a developmental disability or a serious mental disorder, and individuals under 25 and over 60. It would also establish the procedures and reporting requirements for segregated confinement. Last week, the Senate Appropriations committee sent AB 2632 to the suspense file. Bills meeting the committee’s suspense threshold, i.e., the cost of a bill is determined to be $50,000 or more to the state’s General Fund or $150,000 or more to a special fund, are often placed on the suspense file after committee testimony is taken and not passed directly to the Senate for a vote. Instead, a vote-only suspense hearing will be held prior to the deadlines for fiscal committees to hear and report bills to the Senate Floor. The bill will

After a 3-year hiatus, the 12-member California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) held its “African American Leaders for Tomorrow Program” (AALT) on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills CSUDH.From July 20 to 23, the CLBC brought together high school students from throughout California for a series of workshops and social activities aimed at preparing the next generation of leaders in African American communities in fields such as business, government and non-profit advocacy. According to the CLBC website, the primary goal of the program “is to “build a bench” of young leaders who will lead California in solving issues of protecting voter rights, increasing access to higher education and career training through dual enrollment, reducing poverty rates, increasing living-wage employment, participating in criminal justice evolution, increasing quality and equity in healthcare, and reducing high infant mortality rates, in the lower-socioeconomic communities.”

Sixty high school students whose applications were chosen to participate in the program were provided an oncampus immersion experience. They lived in the CSUDH dorms and ate in the campus dining common. State Senator Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) and CLBC Chairman welcomed the students to the program and reiterated the reasoning for the program’s existence. “I learned long ago that your education is the most important investment you make in yourself,” said Bradford, “We hope that our students learn and evolve from this opportunity. That they leave with skills and knowledge that they find useful in their educational and future endeavors. Our commitment is to prepare the next generation of African American leaders for whatever the futureAlsoholds.”welcoming the students were CSUDH President Thomas A.

The AALT serves as a cultivating ground for the youth and helps them understand what they may want to focus on for their future careers. Another CLBC member attending the program, Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), shared Weber’s perspective.“TheAfrican American Leaders of Tomorrow program was created to prepare the youth of today for their careers by exposing them to legislative process, encouraging critical thinking and helping them discover their passions,” Holden said.
Defensive Coordinator Renaldo Hill said the team has liked Taylor’s progression in camp. “He’s a savvy guy. He’s one of those guys that if he made one mistake that day, he won’t make the same mistake,” in all mediums and utilizing direct mail to reach voters. It is urging the coalition’s organizations like the Baptist Ministers Conference of Los Angeles and Southern California, the Kern County Black Chamber of Commerce, and the Los Angeles Urban League to ask their members to mark “yes” for Prop 26 and “no” for Prop 27 on their ballots. California-Hawaii State Conference NAACP spokesperson Kristine Yabumoto said in an email to California day for the defense, which made plays all over the field. The second-team defense also denied the offense in the 2-minute drill, with Deane Leonard nearly recording an interception on a fourth-down play. Other players that stood out on defense included a tackle for loss on a run play by Jerry Tillery, who also batted a pass down at the line of scrimmage. Rookie defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia also knocked down a pass at the line.
every potential voter, including Black Californians like Thomas, is their goal before the November Election. “We are reaching out to everybody — we want the support of all voters in California — but the Black community is very important,” she said. “The way we will communicate with them throughout the campaign is similar to the way we communicate with all voters, but a little bit different.”
Here are three observations from the 11th day of camp: 1. Taylor scores for the defense Rookie Ja’Sir Taylor got some work with the first-team defense Tuesday and made the most of it in a big way. The 2022 sixth-round pick provided the play of the day by recording a pick six in a 2-minute drill off Justin Herbert. The offense had the ball at their own 29-yard line with a minute left and needed a field goal. Taylor ended the drive on third-and-10 by stepping in front of a pass for Keenan Allen, racing about 35 yards the other way for the score.Chargers

Joseph Thomas, an avid sports fan in the San Fernando Valley, is stretching his texting fingers, anticipating the legalization of online sports gambling in the Golden State. The retail sales manager enjoys playing fantasy football and wouldn’t mind wagering up to $100 a month on his favorite NFL team or players via the online gambling company FanDuel. “It is something to do that could make watching the games more exciting,” Thomas said. On Nov. 8, California voters have a choice between two ballot initiatives to legalize and tax sports betting: Prop 26 would allow in-person-only sports betting at Native American tribe operated casinos and at four horse racing tracks in the state, while Prop 27 would allow major sportsbooks operators to partner with tribes in California to offer sports betting to gamblers age 21 or older whether the bettor is on tribal lands or not.
The Yes on 26 campaign is advertising Hill said. “You see a lot of growth in him, just sitting right next to Bryce Callahan, picking his brain every day in meetings. “His growth potential, it’s really high right now. We expect some good things from him,” Hill added. “Once those lights come on, we really want to see him perform at a high level because he has the mental and the physical to get it done. I’m happy with how he’s been performing.”Taylor’sbig play highlighted a strong Black Media (CBM) that the civil rights organization endorses Prop 26. On Aug. 3, the NAACP branch filed a lawsuit against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber in Sacramento Superior Court seeking to remove its name from a No on Proposition 26 opposition statement that would be printed in the state ballot pamphlet. According to the organization the quote from a Los Angeles NAACP member gives the impression the NAACP opposes Prop 26. The lawsuit says the quoted NAACP member, Minnie HadleyHempstead, believes she had been misled into giving the Conferencequote.NAACP President Rick Callender said his organization is proud to support Prop 26. He is disappointed that Prop 27 supporters and those opposing Prop 26 would try to use the NAACP’s name deceptively. “We are suing to have these dishonest statements removed from the ballot Cornerback J.C. Jackson nearly got his third interception of camp, but he couldn’t hold onto a pass attempt to Allen in an 11-on-11 drill. Hill noted that he was glad the defense responded to what he thought was a lackluster performance in Sunday’s scrimmage.“Ithought guys played hard, but I thought the execution, the way we wanted it to run, it wasn’t up to our standards,” Hill said about Sunday. “You felt the energy a lot differently today when we come back out here in practice from the defensive side. “I thought they played a lot more together, and it shows,” Hill added. “We have to get those scrimmage performances, those preseason performances, looking like how we practice out here today. I’m looking for that improvement Saturday.”

And wide receiver DeAndre Carter said the players wanted to make sure they gave an effort that Staley would be proud of. “I think we have a lot of veteran leadership on our team that we can handle situations like this with Coach not being here and us being able to go out there and start executing and keep practice the way it’s going,” Carter said. “That’s a big testament to the coaching staff, as well as the veteran leadership on our team.”

As Williams recounted, she had a “wonderful pregnancy” with her first child, Alexis Olympia, and even her epidural-free delivery was going well – at first. “By the next morning, the contractions were coming harder and faster. With each one, my baby’s heart rate plummeted. I was scared,” she continued.“Every time the baby’s heart rate dropped, the nurses would come in and tell me to turn onto my side.

United Way of Greater Los Angeles President and CEO Elise Buik said that California needs to think big if the homeless problem is going to be solved. “It could provide hundreds of millions each year in funding for proven solutions that help people experiencing homelessness come off the streets and into housing with supportive services,” BuikFairbankssaid said Prop 27 would have a negative impact on tribes and all of the state. She said online gambling companies have no effective way to prevent youth from using their apps or websites to place bets and that the proposition does not guarantee funding to Overtribes.50 Indian tribes oppose Prop 27 and are supporting Prop 26, which allows roulette and dice games at tribal casinos.Fairbanks said Prop 26 extends the promise California voters made to tribes in 1998 when they authorized tribes to have gaming in the state. “Tribes have been able to lift themselves out of poverty,” she said. “They’ve built casinos. They contribute annually to jobs, wages, and taxes in California. Proposition 26 will continue that and expand that by introducing inperson sports betting in a responsible manner.”Tribalcasinos annually employ over 150,000 Californians, generate $12.4 billion in wages, and have a $26.7 billion economic impact. They pay $5.1 billion in taxes and revenue sharing to federal, state, and local governments. Prop 26 will grow those figures, its supporters argue.“Tribes will continue what they have been doing, which is sharing the prosperity,” Fairbanks said. “Sharing it with their tribal members; sharing it with their local communities; and sharing it through contracts tribes negotiate with theFairbanksstate.” said polling Yes on 26 conducted suggests that voters are skeptical of online gambling and worry about underage gambling.

August 11-17, 2022Page 8 Continued from page 1: The Monkeypox ... to survive. However, people with weakened immune systems, children under 8 years of age, people with a history of eczema, and people who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be more likely to get seriously ill or die,” the CDC reports. According to the governor’s office, CDPH has taken a number of steps to expand access to vaccinations and the state has launched a public information campaign, mostly relying on webinars and town hall meetings to get information about Monkeypox out to people across the state. “CDPH is also expanding treatment options. Access to the antiviral prescription drug tecovirimat (Tpoxx) used to treat monkeypox is limited, but the treatment can now be administered at more than 30 facilities and providers across the state,” a press release issued by Newsom’s office states. As of August 2, the state had distributed nearly 1,713 treatment courses and 168 IV doses of Tecovirimat to health centers in various locations across the state. So far, the CDPH has received a little over 109,000 monkeypox vaccines – of which 51,000 doses have been distributed to local health departments across the state. Among Black Californians, there have been 129 cases reported so far, accounting for about 11% of all confirmed cases in the state. African Americans make up about 6.5% of the state’s total population. As of Aug. 5, CDPH reports that there have been 1,310 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the state with the most confirmed cases being reported in Los Angeles (431) followed by San Francisco (398) and Alameda County (83). There have been 7,509 confirmed cases in the United States and 28,220 across the world.Shortly after the declaredGovernora State of Emergency, Shane Harris of the Peoples Association of Justice Activists, a San Diego-based advocacy group, called on San Diego County to release demographic data on monkeypox cases in that county. “The governor has declared a State of Emergency as of last night and constituents deserve to know the truth about this virus in our region,” said Harris speaking at a press conference. “My office led this argument during COVID that we needed more demographic data, and the county’s response is that we did not have enough cases at that time. I want them to know that response will not work this time. There is never too few of cases.” At the state level, the CDPH has begun to disaggregate the Monkeypox data it is collecting by race, city, hospitalizations, gender, age and sexual orientation. The age group with the highest number of reported monkeypox cases (482) are 25-to-34-year-olds, who make up about 36.8 % of all confirmed infections in California. “We’ll continue to work with the federal government to secure more vaccines, raise awareness about reducing risk, and stand with the LGBTQ community fighting stigmatization,” Newsom added. Aragón echoed the governor’s statement.“Ourteam is also committed to reducing stigma among the LGBTQ community, which has been singled out and treated unfairly because of this outbreak. No single individual or community is to blame for the spread of any virus,” Aragón reinforced. When it comes to race, Harris said it is important to approach the containment and treatment of monkeypox with the same “perspective and passion” that characterized the state government’s response during the COVID-19 pandemic.“Raceand ethnicity were very important during COVID because we studied the very impact of cultural competency pertaining to COVID –how different communities dealt with it. It is still significantly important today,” Harris emphasized.
