Mayor Butts makes Clippers deal in Inglewood official
By Brea Mitchell, Staff Writer
At last week’s “IAACC Black Business Monthly Mixer”, which is hosted by the Inglewood Airport Area Chamber of Commerce, Mayor James Butts made the impromptu
announcement that the Los Angeles Clippers have officially sealed the deal to call Inglewood their new home. Construction on the new facility will begin this summer, 2021, and is projected to be completed in time for
Basketball and Entertainment Center’, and will be located just south of SoFi Stadium. It will also include a practice facility, sports medicine clinic, team offices, retail space, and a large outdoor plaza. This won’t be the only property on the block for Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. Last year, Ballmer completed the purchase of The Forum amidst relentless legal battles with The Forum’s then-owner, Madison Square Garden Company. In 2018, Madison Square Garden Company filed several lawsuits to prevent Ballmer from building his new Clippers arena so close to The Forum. The company saw the project as direct competition to The Forum, due to the fact that Ballmer was planning to also use the new arena for concerts and entertainment space– The Forum’s bread and butter. But the legal battles ended when Steve Ballmer purchased The Forum from Madison Square Garden Company for $400 million in cash. Now, with both The Forum and the 2024-25 NBA season. The Clippers IBEC under the ownership of Steve are currently in the middle of a 10-year Ballmer, both spaces will host concerts lease at Staples Center, which will end and entertainment, but only one will after the 2023-24 season. be home to the LA Clippers. The 18,000-seat arena will be named ‘IBEC’, short for ‘Inglewood
Five Ways to Make Sure Our Votes Count in the Upcoming Recall Election By Edward Henderson | California Black Media
For African Americans, the right to vote was won by the passion, sacrifice and bravery of many who came before us. It is our responsibility to make sure we are doing everything in our power to ensure that our vote counts in every election held at the local, state or national level. Here are five tips to make sure that our voices are heard (and our votes are counted) in the upcoming gubernatorial recall election.

Run, Karen, Run: Why Rep. Karen Bass Should Be L.A.’s First Woman Mayor By Jasmyne A. Cannick | Special to California Black Media
I can describe the leading crop of declared candidates angling to lead the second largest -- and one of America’s more liberal and progressive leaning cities -- in two words: White and male. So, when rumors hinted at a possible mayoral bid by Congresswoman Karen Bass, I thought to myself, now things just got interesting. While the beloved Democratic Congresswoman, who served as the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and authored the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021, hasn’t officially declared her candidacy for mayor, the rumors alone have already overshadowed her would-be opponents and given Angelenos hope for an alternative to the candidates they’ve been presented with thus far. Of the current mayoral candidates, one doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell after he spent his eight-year tenure as city attorney prosecuting the protestors and the homeless for everything from smelling bad to sleeping on the sidewalk while covering up the LAPD’s misconduct and hiding body camera footage at taxpayers’ expense. And speaking of the LAPD, one candidate is a former cop, and they aren’t too popular these days. In addition, his approach to dealing with L.A.’s unhoused crisis has been opposite of how most voters want to see their elected leaders deal with the problem.

The possible entrance of Bass, who has been one of the few politicians I can say didn’t do a Jekyll and Hyde after being sworn into office, has been the most welcomed news since President Biden announced he’s sending Mayor Eric Garcetti to India. Who we elected is who we got with Bass -- a compassionate, thoughtful and bold leader on important issues. Bass, like most female candidates who run for office, would definitely bring a different and I believe more thoughtful perspective and approach to L.A.’s longstanding and chronic issues, including our city’s chaotic unhoused crisis. In the past few elections, Angelenos have made it clear that they want leadership at all levels who will provide services to the unhoused, such as housing, mental health treatment, drug treatment and job training to help get them permanently off the streets and back on their feet. No longer is the criminalization of the homeless an acceptable solution to our city’s crisis. But as exciting as a Mayor Bass would be, it’s a long way from bended knee to the altar -- and she hasn’t even officially declared she’s going to run. Councilwoman Jan Perry who ran for mayor in 2013, says today she is less concerned about whether or not voters vote for a woman because she is female. “Plenty of women have run for mayor who were viable candidates but couldn’t compete because they couldn’t raise the money needed to get their message to voters,” said Perry. “We live in an expensive media market where we are deeply affected by candidates who are on television versus candidates who just put out a lot of mail. I learned that firsthand in 2012. Television works. Media works. Social media works too.” Given how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted voting nationwide, to Perry’s point, candidates who can afford traditional and digital media in the upcoming mayoral election will have a better chance of reaching prospective voters. Perry estimates that in 2021, to run for mayor candidates will need to raise north of $5 million, money that has traditionally been much easier for male candidates to raise than female. The fact is: men still have an easier path to the top while women have to do more to prove our worth. But raising the money is half the battle, the other half is getting the votes. In 2021, it isn’t enough to be the candidate with the largest war chest -just ask former Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey. As progressive, liberal and “hip” as Angelenos like to consider themselves, that hasn’t always been reflected in our choice of elected officials and nowhere is that more apparent than in the city hall, where in our city’s nearly two-hundred-year history we have never ever not once elected a woman as mayor.
But there’s hope. According to the 2018 Women in Leadership Pew Research Poll, “the public sees female leaders as having an advantage. In both business and politics, majorities say women are better than men when it comes to being compassionate and empathetic, and substantial shares say women are better at working out compromises and standing up for what they believe in. Similarly, more adults say female political leaders do a better job serving as role models for children and maintaining a tone of civility and respect.” Maybe 2022 will be the year we finally join many other parts of the civilized world in electing a woman to lead our city. And let’s be clear. Bass isn’t just any woman, she’s a Black woman. Angelenos haven’t elected a Black woman in 20 years since they elected Jan Perry to the city council. At the last Census count, Whites and Latinos still made up the majority of the population in Los Angeles, followed by Asians, with Blacks coming in just under 9 %. Will voters in Los Angeles show up in real life with the same level of energy they give to Black women
on social media? Because a Bass candidacy would definitely put to test L.A.’s self-proclaimed love of Black women. In addition to Bass, Perry, who served as General Manager of the Los Angeles Economic & Workforce Development Department until 2018, says she’s been asked to run for city controller in 2022. If both women were to run and win their respective races, it would be a first for a city that hasn’t elected a Black woman since 2001. The field for mayoral candidates is still far from being defined as both Council President Nury Martinez and recently elected councilmember Kevin dè Leon are rumored to be seriously considering mayoral bids. For now, a Karen Bass for L.A. Mayor campaign is far from definite but certainly exciting in a city where voters are looking for someone to lead with compassion and audacity on the homelessness crisis. I say run Karen, run.

Health and Safety COVID-19 Testing Program In our efforts to prioritize health and safety, onsite weekly COVID-19 testing began on Wednesday, August 25, 2021 for staff and students through our partnerships with testing laboratories. This component of our mitigation strategy will add another layer of protection against the spread of COVID-19. The details of the testing program are as follows: Parents/Guardians who wish to have their child participate must complete an Online Registration by visiting https:// sunriselab-ca.labsvc.net/ patientportal/ to opt into the testing program.
Unvaccinated Employees are required to complete this registration. This is a one-time registration, which includes the consent required to participate in the testing program. Parents/Guardians may opt-out their students at any time. There is no cost to participate in this program. Parents/Guardians will be asked to input their child’s health insurance information, if applicable, but they will not be billed or charged a copayment. Our COVID-19 testing teams will visit each site once per week. A team will visit each classroom and call small groups of 3-5 students at a time into the hallway to perform a cheek swab PCR test. Participating employees will be tested concurrently. We anticipate that the process will take 30-60 seconds per participant by the third week of implementation. Participants will receive direct notification of their results via email within 24 hours. Please click here to access additional information about COVID-19 testing, vaccination clinics and more!

Much is at stake in the California Recall Election. Do not sit this out. By Brea Mitchell, Staff Writer
It was an eerie evening on March 19, 2020 when California Governor Gavin Newsom approached the podium on our television screens to announce that, in the state of California, human lives would be placed above all else while an unfamiliar, aggressive, and deadly virus wreaked havoc in America from coast to coast. Governor Newsom’s press conference, which gained national attention, officially set into place a statewide stay-at-home order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. California was the first to do so, and other states soon followed suit. It was the brand-new, early days of the pandemic; the gut-wrenching period of time when refrigerated trailers were stationed outside of New York City hospitals, stocked with dead bodies. As America entered the dark days of death and destruction at the hands of a deadly, highly-contagious virus, Governor Newsom rose to the occasion. Fast forward to nearly 18 months later, California has set the tone nationwide in nearly every pandemic precaution and state government legislation initiative, such as padded stimulus checks, eviction moratorium extensions (Newsom’s signing of SB 91 enacted the strongest renter protections in the nation), home access to free
Wi-Fi for low-income families as kids pivoted to online learning and many parents worked from home, vaccination mandates among government workers, health care workers, and now as California schools reopen for the Fall semester, vaccination mandates for teachers and staff, as well. And while there certainly isn’t a single governor who has done everything perfectly over the past 18 months, one thing that we can say is that from the very beginning of this pandemic, we’ve seen Governor Newsom consistently putting the lives of people, families, our children– first. He’s recognized the tragedy and devastation of this virus, he has taken it seriously, and he’s legislatively brought aid to Californians during times when many other governors around the country left their own constituents high and dry. There’s now a loud and outnumbered demographic in deep-blue-California who are doing everything possible to remove the progressive governor. The dangerous part about this recall election is that if complacent, uninterested, presumptuous Californians don’t participate, things could very well go awry. Awry to what extent, exactly? The Republican front runner on the Continued on page 7
of 25.19, beating his previous personal best. “It feels pretty surreal. I’m really excited to watch the playback, that was a personal best for me. I just knew I had to come and leave it all in the pool, and it feels good,” said Hill. The race was a nail biter, and it was Hill’s exceptionally strong finish
that pushed him through to victory. Afterwards, he spoke to media about his thoughts toward the very end of the race. “Just fricking go. Just go, move the arms as fast as I can, kick the legs as fast as I can, keep my butt and my core tight, head down. Oh, shoot, I’ve got to take a breath, I’m running out of air. Take that real quick, get the head back down, finish strong,” Hill reflected. He did indeed finish strong. Hill’s previous 50-meter freestyle personal best time was 26.10. His Paralympic debut was the perfect stage to top it. “When I touched the wall, I was scared to turn around. I knew it was tight. I could hear the people celebrating next to me and I heard one of the coaches yell out my name, and I knew it was safe to turn around then,” said Hill.

Sports & Entertainment Analysis: Rams’ initial 53-man roster for 2021
By Stu Jackson, The Rams
The Rams reduced their roster to the 53-man limit on Aug. 31. Here’s a position-by-position look at Los Angeles’ first 53-man roster of the 2021 season. Italicized names = rookies QUARTERBACKS (3): Matthew Stafford, John Wolford, Bryce Perkins For the first time since heading into the 2018 season, the Rams elected to carry three quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster. Perkins’ inclusion speaks to his performance not only in the preseason, but also the last year-plus as a member of Los Angeles’ practice squad. Also of significance compared to last year’s initial 53: Having reserves with live game experience. Wolford appeared in his first NFL game last year and also started a playoff game, while Perkins saw extensive action across each of the Rams’ three preseason games this year. RUNNING BACKS (3): Darrell Henderson Jr., Sony Michel, Jake Funk With Akers sustaining a torn Achilles prior to training camp and being placed on the Reserve/NonFootball Injury list, Henderson is the lead back, with Michel’s physical presence complementing Henderson and the rest of the group. Funk makes the roster after overcoming two ACL injuries in college and getting drafted in the seventh-round. Xavier Jones was Waived/Injured. WIDE RECEIVERS (6): Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, DeSean Jackson, Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell, Ben Skowronek The wide receiver room looks a little bit different from last year’s initial ensemble. Woods, Kupp and Jefferson return, with newcomer Jackson and rookies Atwell and Skowronek rounding out the group. Woods and Kupp enter their fifth season working together. Atwell brings speed that has also made him valuable as a punt returner, while Skowronek, as general manager Les Snead said this spring after he was drafted, brings a different “genre” the group doesn’t have at 6-foot-3 and 224 pounds. TIGHT ENDS (4): Tyler Higbee, Johnny Mundt, Brycen Hopkins, Jacob Harris Similar to last year, the Rams elected to keep four tight ends on their initial 53-man roster. Higbee posted 44 receptions for 521 yards and a careerbest five touchdowns, while Mundt’s blocking made him a valuable asset in the run game. Hopkins mainly contributed on special teams when he saw action last year. Harris continues to learn the position after playing wide receiver in college. OFFENSIVE LINE (9): Andrew Whitworth, David Edwards,
Brian Allen, Austin Corbett, Rob Havenstein, Joe Noteboom, Bobby Evans, Tremayne Anchrum Jr., Alaric Jackson This year’s group of offensive linemen has plenty of game experience, whether it’s starting (Whitworth, Edwards, Allen, Corbett, Havenstein, Noteboom, Evans) or special teams duty (Anchrum). Jackson is the only undrafted free agent to make the nitial 53-man roster. Note: Coleman Shelton was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday and does not count toward the limit until activated. DEFENSIVE LINE (7): A’Shawn Robinson, Aaron Donald, Sebastian Joseph-Day, Greg Gaines, Michael Hoecht, Jonah Wiliams, Bobby Brown III The Rams’ defensive line looks different this year with the departures of Michael Brockers and Morgan Fox. Robinson, Donald, Joseph-Day and Gaines return, with Hoecht and Williams – after strong preseasons this year and spending last year on their practice squad – rounding out the group along with rookie Bobby Brown III. OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS (5): Leonard Floyd, Justin Hollins, Ogbo Okoronkwo, Terrell Lewis, Chris Garrett The Rams go with five edge defenders initially year, highlighted by seventh-round pick Chris Garrett making the rotation. Hollins was brought on last year because of his versatility – he had been learning both inside linebacker and outside linebacker while with the Broncos – and will be at outside linebacker this year. Rams head coach Sean McVay said after Tuesday’s practice that Okoronkwo (shoulder stinger) being placed on short-term injured reserve this week is a “probable yes.” INSIDE LINEBACKERS (4): Troy Reeder, Kenny Young, Travin Howard, Ernest Jones Reeder, Young and Howard return with starting experience. Jones had a solid preseason which included getting experience as defensive signal-caller.
CORNERBACKS (4): Jalen Ramsey, Darious Williams, David Long Jr., Robert Rochell After initially carrying six cornerbacks last year, the Rams start with four this year. Long is expected to take on a bigger role this season following Troy Hill’s departure. SAFETIES (6): Taylor Rapp, Nick Scott, Terrell Burgess, Jordan Fuller, J.R. Reed, JuJu Hughes The Rams’ offseason roster had lots of depth at safety, and they go with a six-man group of Rapp, Scott,
Burgess, Fuller and Reed. Rapp and Fuller both have starting experience. Scott has been a long-time special teams contributor and is capable of stepping up when needed. Burgess saw time on both defense and special teams as a rookie in 2020 and gives L.A.’s secondary options with his versatile background. Reed makes the initial 53-man after getting signed to the Rams’ practice squad in September last year and eventually getting signed to the active roster in early December. Hughes appeared in 12 games last year – primarily on special teams – after beginning the 2020 season on their practice squad. SPECIALISTS (2): Matt Gay (kicker), Matthew Orzech (long snapper) Gay enters his first full season with the Rams after arriving in L.A. in mid-November 2020. Orzech beat out Steven Wirtel to succeed Jake McQuaide as the Rams’ next longsnapper. Note: Johnny Hekker remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list but was allowed to be at Tuesday morning’s practice.

Gov. Newsom Praises Economy, Second Stimulus Payments as Rivals Step Up Attacks
Aldon Thomas Stiles | California Black Media
Californians are scheduled to start receiving their second stimulus payment on Sept. 1, two weeks before California’s gubernatorial recall election. All California households that receive the state’s earned income tax credit qualify for the one-time payments. The state has provided a detailed guide, that readers can access here, as to who qualifies for these payments and how much residents can expect. Gov. Newsom praised the support
being provided to Californians last week that he says is being funded from federal recovery assistance and the state’s budget surplus. “Round 2 of Golden State Stimulus checks start to go out this week! Two out of three Californians are eligible for $600 or more -- we’re putting money directly back into the pockets of those that need it most,” the governor tweeted. But his Republican opponents running to replace him in the recall election continued to rail against the governor’s leadership on issues other than the economy, including homelessness, housing affordability, taxes and what they view as his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week, the San Francisco Chronicle and NBC’s Sacramento affiliate KCRA hosted a debate featuring four of the candidates vying to replace Newsom: Republicans
Kevin Falconer, former mayor of San Diego, Assemblymember Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin),and businessman John Cox and Democrat and real estate investor Kevin Paffrath . “This state is a mismanaged mess. His pandemic management was an inconsistent disaster,” Cox said, referring to Gov. Newsom during the debate. “We don’t have water. We live in fear of fires. Crime is rising. Housing prices are out of sight,” added the businessman who supports expanding oil and gas exploration in California. “Taxes are out of sight. The homeless problem has only gotten worse. We’ve got to stop with these politicians and celebrities and get a businessman in there.” The disbursement total for the second round of Golden State Stimulus payments (or GSS II) will be about $12 billion and is funded by California’s $100 billion California Comeback
Plan budget. California currently has the largest economy in the country and a budget surplus of $75.7 billion, according to the governor. $276 million, or .4%, of the surplus is being used to fund the recall election. Gov. Newsom boasted about the budget surplus and the upcoming stimulus checks in an announcement last week. “I am incredibly proud of California’s economic recovery. Close to an $80 billion operating surplus and that’s afforded us an opportunity to do something no other state in U.S. history has ever done. And that’s provide over $12 billion of tax rebates.” In this round of stimulus payments, California residents with one or more dependents could be eligible to receive $1,100. Undocumented immigrants who pay taxes and earn below $75,000 a year will also receive the payments.

recall election ballot is Larry Elder, a Los Angeles-based conservative radio host. Throughout Elder’s longtime media career, here’s what he’s already proven himself to be: Anti-science, anti-women, anti-labor unions, a climate change denier, a staunch Donald Trump supporter, a COVID-19 misinformation spreader– the list goes on. He’s on record saying “women exaggerate the problem of sexism”, and in 2017 tweeted that women who
participated in the Women’s March were too unattractive to be sexually assaulted. Additionally, the Los Angeles Police Department recently confirmed that they are investigating domestic violence accusations made by Elder’s former fiancé, who recently spoke out about him brandishing a weapon during their 2015 breakup. Larry Elder’s abhorrent character traits, behavior, and legislative stances are everything that California is not, and that California takes pride in not being. And it would be self-sabotaging and nonsensical to place our state into the hands of someone who has consistently minimized the threat of this pandemic, which has already taken the lives of more than 65 thousand Californians. We deserve a leader who is for the people, strives for equity and wellbeing, believes in science, protects the environment, is willing to do what’s necessary to beat this pandemic, and values the truth. Californians deserve the exact opposite of a Larry Elder. But if we don’t do our part by showing up to vote, Larry Elder is exactly who we’ll get. Do not underestimate the significance of your vote in this recall election– or in any election, ever.
