California Worker Safety Concerns Intensify During the Holiday Season Due to Increased Demand for Products and Services
& Lakers
Rams and Pechanga demonstrate the ultimate goodwill SoFi food distribution is most welcomed holiday gift
IT News Wire
Oakland, CA— In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the heightened demand for products and services during the winter holiday season, the California Labor & Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) and its Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) encourage employees and employers to learn more about worker safety and rights, and employer responsibilities. Each year, workers in warehouses, retail establishments, food processing plants and more are hired during the holiday season due to increased demands for products and services. These workers may not know or understand their rights, and their employers may not be aware of their responsibilities, placing workers, employers and the public-at-large at greater risk for COVID-19 exposure. “Our goal is to reach workers who are more vulnerable to COVID-19 exposure and need information about their rights in the workplace, including paid sick leave benefits and how to report unsafe conditions,” said DIR Director Katie Hagen. “We also want employers to understand their responsibilities to comply with state labor laws and ensure a safe and healthful workplace.” LWDA and DIR are addressing these concerns with a public education campaign in English and Spanish that focuses on high-risk industries for the holiday season, including manufacturing, warehouse and fulfillment centers, retail and food services, agricultural, food processing and meat packing, with detailed information on resources and benefits available on www.dir.ca.gov/COVID. The campaign is particularly focused on low-wage workers of color who face a higher risk of exposure to the virus. According to a recent UC Berkeley Labor Center analysis, low-wage workers are less likely to be able to work remotely, and women - in particular Continued on page 2

The car horns blared, tears streamed and scores of volunteers packed boxes of can foods, fruits, vegetables and other non-perishables at the Ram & Pechanga holiday food distribution on Dec. 22 in the SoFi Stadium park lot. They began lining up before dawn and then slowly rolled through to begin
what many said is the most difficult holiday season they ever had. For three hours, hundreds were on the receiving end as Rams disc jockey DJ Mal-Ski played oldies and goodies from the likes of Luther Vandross and also solicited praise for the sponsors and scores of volunteers instrumental providing essential meals during a
COVID pandemic that is beyond devastating. “Well, it’s been a rough year. I lost my mom December 13, 2019 and nothing has been the same since. The pandemic, I’ve battled depression, my husband has not been able to bring in income now, so it been hard, “ said Rina Continued on page 2
Waters Secures Emergency Rental Assistance and Support for CDFIs and MDIs in Bipartisan COVID-19 Relief Bill IT News Wire
WASHINGTON, D.C. Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), Chairwoman of the House Committee on Financial Services, made the following statement regarding the bipartisan COVID-19 relief bill. “After much negotiation, I am very pleased that I have been able to secure $25 billion in emergency rental assistance, a one-month extension of the eviction moratorium, and $12 billion in funding for community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and minority depository institutions (MDIs) in the legislation. I would like to thank Ranking Member Patrick McHenry, Chairman Mike Crapo, and Ranking Member Sherrod Brown for working
with me and my team to deliver this much needed assistance for America’s renters and support for CDFIs and MDIs. “Since the beginning of this crisis, I have sounded the alarm about the urgent need for action to prevent an impending eviction crisis. This legislation makes a down payment on the assistance needed to help struggling families and individuals catch up on their rent and stay in their homes. While I expect that more will be needed, the $25 billion of relief I secured in this bill is critical and historic. “The extension of the eviction moratorium will also ensure that families who are behind on their rent are not facing eviction on January 1.
Buppie is Back! See Page 6
However, I do believe that a longer moratorium will be needed and call on President-elect Biden to use his executive authority to further extend this moratorium once he is sworn into office. “This bill also includes many of the legislative reforms from my bill, the Promoting and Advancing Communities of Color Through Inclusive Lending Act, which was designed to provide a boost to our nation’s CDFIs and MDIs. I would like to thank Senator Warner for his advocacy for my legislation on the Senate side and his commitment to this issue. “For decades, I have worked to help our nation’s minority depository Continued on page 2

The food is greatly needed because everything is kind of shut down and grocery stores now are being a breeding ground for COVID, so if have to try to get it when you can.” Anderson said that she got up early to arrive in line at 6:30 am.

CDFIs and MDIs are critical sources of capital and investment for our nation’s low-income communities and for communities of color and they need additional resources and tools to help them to support the communities they serve. “After big banks funneled Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds to their large business clients in the first round of the program, I fought to ensure that MDIs and CDFIs had a meaningful opportunity to participate and provide funds to low- and moderate-income communities and communities of color, which have been hit the hardest by the pandemic and its economic impacts. The $12 billion in funding in this bill will allow CDFIs and MDIs to continue to support those communities and help them to recover from this crisis. “I am also very pleased that this bill contains additional direct stimulus payments for families and individuals and funding for unemployment insurance, as I have advocated for. While more relief is needed, the funding in this bill is absolutely critical.”

Inglewood family celebrates COVID Christmas
By Francis Taylor, Senior Correspondent
Inglewood residents Cesar and Ingrid Gonzalez are looking forward to a Merry COVID-19 Christmas with their four children Michelle, age 12, Angel, 10, Angelina, six, and Damian, age three, even though it will not be the same as previous years. Because of Ingrid’s disability there just is not as much money available to shower the family with the number of gifts that they enjoyed in the past. Ingrid was employed at Randy’s Donuts and was an expert donut maker until she suffered a disabling injury to her wrist which caused her to lose her job in October, 2019. The $375 she receives in disability payments each week does not compare to her full time employment earnings but she has already managed to place one gift under the living room Christmas tree for each family member. “All of my children believe in Santa Claus,” she said, “and I am sure that he will come to our house with a gift for all of them on Christmas Day.” This Christmas will be much different from previous ones in the Gonzalez’ household. “When I was working I was able to buy computers, electronic tablets, video games, clothes and other gifts,” Ingrid said. “COVID-19 has changed everything and the children
understand that I am not working at the present time and that they are not expecting lots of toys and gifts.” Being home during the Pandemic, the family has grown even closer as the children are at home all day with Mom doing their school work. Inglewood Unified schools are closed indefinitely and throughout the day the children are on their individual computer
completing their remote learning assignments. Damian, the youngest child is entertained with educational videos and television programs while his older siblings are doing their work. “The children do not miss being in school,” Ingrid said. “They enjoy being at home with their brothers and sisters, having lunch together and occasionally going outside to get some exercise.
They know that when they have completed their school work they are free to do whatever they want.” This year Ingrid plans to make preparing the family’s Christmas meal a family affair. “The meal will include chicken and pork tamales, turkey ham, sweet potatoes, noodles, cake and salad,” she said. “My children love to help and I look forward to making this year’s Christmas meal a very special one.” Another difference for the Gonzalez family this Christmas is the fact that Ingrid’s father, Francisco, is visiting from Miami and will remain in Inglewood through the beginning of the New Year. It is his first visit to California and the first opportunity for him to meet and spend time with his grandchildren. “My children love their Grandpa,” Ingrid said, “and his visit and the time he is spending with them is more precious than any gift they could possibly receive. This COVID-19 Inglewood Christmas is different,” she concluded, “but it will also be one of the most memorable for me and my family.”

Sports & Entertainment Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey named to 2021 Pro Bowl
By Stu Jackson, therams.com
Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald and cornerback Jalen Ramsey have been named to the 2021 Pro Bowl. Both players were also Pro Bowl selections last season. For Donald, it marks his seventhconsecutive Pro Bowl nod, which means he’s been chosen for the distinction in every year of his NFL career so far. Per Sportradar research, he is just the third player in franchise history to begin their career with 7 or more straight Pro Bowl nods, joining
Merlin Olsen (14) and Les Richter (8). Donald is currently tied with Saints defensive end Trey Hendrickson for the NFL lead in sacks with 12.5 – his fourth-straight season with doubledigit sacks – and has also made 38 total tackles, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup through 14 games. For Ramsey, it’s his fourth-straight Pro Bowl selection – the No. 5 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft has been chosen every year since 2017. He has produced 37 total tackles, four pass
The NFC playoff picture entering Week 16, and what’s at stake for the Rams By Stu Jackson, therams.com
The Rams are still in the playoff picture by way of the top wild card spot (No. 5 seed) despite Sunday’s loss to the Jets. However, a big road game against the Seahawks this weekend looms with division and playoff implications. Here is a look at the NFC playoff picture heading into Week 16: 1. Green Bay Packers (11-3): A 24-16 win over the Panthers and the Chiefs’ 32-29 victory over the Saints fortified the Packers’ hold of the top seed in the conference. 2. New Orleans Saints (10-4): The return of starting quarterback Drew Brees wasn’t enough for New Orleans to overcome the absence of star wide receiver Michael Thomas in a narrow 32-29 loss to top AFC seed Kansas City. Thomas was placed on injured reserve on Saturday due to a lingering ankle
injury but is expected to be close to full strength by the start of the playoffs, according to multiple reports. 3. Seattle Seahawks (10-4): Although it led by 17 early in the third quarter, Seattle had to survive a fourth-quarter rally by Washington to come away with a 20-15 victory at FedExField. The win clinched a playoff berth for the Seahawks and, along with the Rams’ loss to the Jets, also moved them into first place in the NFC West and the NFC’s No. 3 seed. 4. Washington Football Team (68): Despite Sunday’s loss to Seattle, Washington still held on to first place in the NFC East thanks to the Cleveland Browns defeating the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. 5. Los Angeles Rams (9-5): Sunday’s 23-20 loss to the Jets knocked the Rams Continued on page 7

The NFL announced when fan voting opened on Nov. 17 that the 2021 Pro Bowl will be conducted virtually via EA SPORTS’ Madden NFL 21 video game as a result of the in-person all-star game – originally scheduled to be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Jan. 31, 2021 – being cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. According to that news release, “EA SPORTS and the NFL will create a week-long series of matchups featuring
celebrities, NFL legends, current players and streamers playing as the official Pro Bowl rosters in Madden NFL 21.” Those matchups will culminate with a virtual Pro Bowl game being played with 2021 Pro Bowl players facing off within Madden NFL 21.

Joey Bosa and Keenan Allen Earn Pro Bowl Honors IT Sports Wire
The National Football League today announced Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen and defensive end Joey Bosa were named 2021 Pro
Bowlers. Bosa was designated as a starter for the AFC. The Chargers signed both players to multi-year extensions this offseason. Allen continued his run of excellence, hauling in 100 passes for 992 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns this
season. The Pro Bowl selection marks the fourth of his career — all coming in the last four seasons — tying for the most by a wide receiver in team history. Allen became the fourth player in NFL history to eclipse 95 receptions in four consecutive seasons, doing so in each of his all-star campaigns. The eighth-year wide receiver set the all-time record with 624 receptions through the first 100 games of his career. Allen also tied for the fewest games (96) to reach 600 receptions in NFL history and posted his sixth career game with 13-plus catches, the most in league annals. Bosa earns the third all-star honor of his career, entering Week 16 with his 27 quarterback hits and 15 tackles for loss each ranking No. 2 in the AFC despite Continued on page 7

The Lion Queen Homeless During A Pandemic
BUPPIE | BUSINESS Prudential Financial Inc. completes Whitney Houston mural
By Michelle Lyons, Columnist
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, statistics show that homelessness in Los Angeles County has risen by up to 16%. Government regulations have caused most of the homelessness during this pandemic. Not only did restrictions increase unemployment which increased homelessness, but restrictions limited the capacities of homeless shelters. The Salvation Armies, The Rescue Missions and other shelters have not been taking in new clients because of social distancing guidelines; therefore, many more people are living on the streets. According to the Long Beach Rescue Mission, “There has also been an increase in women homelessness because domestic violence has increased over the last 9 months.” One of these women is Candace Garnett. She is 30 years old and she has been living out of her car for the past 7 months after having a fight with her aunt. Garnett has been suffering from anger management issues and depression for the past four years because Child Services took her one-year-old son (who is now 5 years old). “Mother is the name of God in the lips and hearts of little children. What they did to me was not right. I was suffering from postpartum and needed help, but instead of helping me they made me more depressed and angrier by taking my son,” she said. Garnett was homeless one other time in her life in 2009. She said homelessness during Covid-19 is much different. “Homelessness during Covid is much worst. It sucks being homeless now. Ten years ago, I was homeless, but not a bum. Unfortunately, since everything is closed I cannot even shower. I have not showered in over a week. Last time when I was homeless I could at least shower at a gym or a homeless shelter. Now, all the shelters are full, and all the gyms are closed. It feels like everything is shut down,” she said. Garnett has been using her time to focus less on herself and more on others. She has been volunteering at the YWCA. “Being at the YWCA makes me feel like I am not alone. They have been so helpful, and I am grateful. I just want to get myself together so I can get my son back, but it’s really hard and Covid has made it harder.” The Long Beach Rescue Mission (LBRM) has a women’s house that houses women like Garnett, but presently, they are at limitedcapacity because of the social distancing guidelines. “It makes you think about the trade-off of shutting down the entire city. Was it worth it if homelessness increased by 16%, hundreds of businesses filed bankruptcy and depression and anxiety increased by millions? It will take years for us to recover from this pandemic. I don’t know the statistics, but I can’t help to think if our politicians had to miss paychecks or be homeless for the past 9 months if they would have handled this differently,” said Garnett. “It’s scary as heck sleeping in my car and being a woman. But I am grateful for my car because I see so many people sleeping on the street. Hopefully, one of the Rescue Missions will be able to take me in soon,” said Garnett.

down to second place in the NFC West and prevented them from clinching a playoff spot. Up next for Los Angeles: A road game at Seattle with another shot at securing that playoff berth, with both teams also vying for the division title. 6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-5): The Bucs defeated the Falcons 31-27 via a 17-point comeback to earn their second-straight win and remain in contention for a wild card spot. While Tampa Bay’s record is identical to Los Angeles, L.A. owns the top wild card spot due to head-to-head tiebreaker (Week 11). 7. Arizona Cardinals (8-6): The Cardinals also won their second consecutive game and maintained control of their wild card slot thanks to a 33-26 win over the Eagles. In the hunt: Chicago Bears (7-7); Minnesota Vikings (6-8); New York Giants (5-9); Dallas Cowboys (5-9); Philadelphia Eagles (4-9-1). What’s on the line for the Rams in Week 16: A win over the Seahawks would clinch a playoff spot and move the Rams back into first place in the division via division record tiebreaker (Los Angeles would be 3-2, Seattle 2-3). The Rams can also clinch a playoff spot with a Cardinals win or tie over the 49ers or a Bears loss or tie to the Jaguars.

He has a team-best 7.5 sacks on the year and is just 2.5 shy of reaching 50 for his career. The Ohio State product turned in the best performance of his career in Week 12, setting single-game career highs with nine tackles (eight solo), three sacks, six tackles for loss, five quarterback hits, a fumble recovery and a pass defensed. He became just the second player to post three sacks, five tackles for loss, five QB hits and recover a fumble since tackles for loss became a stat in 2008.
