Jerusalem Mission Community Church Serves

An Early Thanksgiving Dinner to Community

By Darlene L. Williams Contributing Writer (BAKERSFIELD, CA.)— Thursday, November 25, 2021, Jerusalem Mission Community Church(JMCC) served an early Thanksgiving dinner to the southeast community of Bakersfield. The dinner began at 12:00 noon and was expected to conclude whenever the last meal was served.

Every year around Thanksgiving about five of us women get together at the church and start to prepare the meal two days in advance, Cleo Stancil, organizer and JMCC Mission President, stated. Last year we served about 350 people, she said.

The event was expected to match or even exceed those served the previous year.

Several tables and chairs were set up in the large parking lot of the church. As the aromatic smells floated through the air, passers-by began arriving to enquire about the event. Favorable weather allowed attendees to dine out under the beautiful sunny blue skies and feast on savory: turkey and dressing, green beans, corn, spaghetti, potato salad, rolls, peach cobbler, various cakes and cold drinks.

Get Booster Shot; Celebrate Thanksgiving Holiday Safely Aldon Thomas Stiles California Black Media Golden State Public health officials are recommending that Californians take COVID-19 booster shots to prevent a resurgence of the disease and to celebrate the holidays safely with their loved ones.

“It’s not too late to get it,” said Dr. Mark Ghaly, Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Department, referring to the COVID-19 booster shot.

He was speaking at a vaccine clinic in Los Angeles County last week.

“Get that added protection for the Thanksgiving gatherings you may attend,” he said.

Last week, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine boosters for

all adults in the United States.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC followed with an endorsement of the booster vaccine, recommending it for people over age 50, and anyone18 and older who is at higher risk.

The CDC loosened the language for all other adults, saying anyone over age 18 “may” take the shot.

California officials say the booster shots are plenty and available throughout the state.

“If you think you will benefit from getting a booster shot, I encourage you,” said Ghaly. “Supplies are available. There are many sites across the state – thousands in fact.”

On Saturday, the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup completed a separate review of the

federal government’s approval process for the booster shots and also recommended that “individuals 18 or older who have completed their primary vaccination series,” take the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna boosters.

California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington state came together last year and created the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup. The group, made up of scientists, medical professionals and public health experts, is charged with reviewing COVID-19 vaccine safety.

Over the last two weeks, COVID-19 infections across the United States have increased at a rate of nearly 33 %, according to the CDC. Continued on page A9

Kyle Rittenhouse Found Not Guilty of All Charges Kyle Rittenhouse Judge Bruce Schroeder (Photo Credit: Kenosha News)

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent Kyle Rittenhouse escaped punishment in the shooting deaths of two men during the unrest that followed the 2020 police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The jury deliberated for about four days, before issuing unanimous verdicts on all counts.

The jury considered five charges against the now 18-year-old: First-degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon – or that Rittenhouse recklessly caused the death of Rosenbaum under circumstances that showed utter disregard for human life.

First-degree recklessly endangering safety, use of a dangerous weapon – or that Rittenhouse recklessly

endangered the safety of Richard McGinniss — a journalist with the conservative Daily Caller — under circumstances that show utter disregard for human life.

First-degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon – or that Rittenhouse did cause the death of Huber, with intent to kill him.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – A man was critically hurt when his wife drove over him twice as he tried to dislodge a bowling ball that had been thrown in front of their car on Saturday.

The couple ran over the bowling ball around 3 p.m.

Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri, and the ball became lodged under their car, Kansas City Police spokeswoman Donna Drake said. Later in the day, a suspect went to a police station and admitted to throwing a bowling ball in front of a moving car.

After they stopped, the 25-year-old man crawled under the vehicle to try to remove the ball. Then a suspect approached the vehicle and tried to grab the 25-year-old woman’s purse while the man was trying to reach the bowling ball, according to the Kansas City Star.

During a struggle over the purse, the woman pressed her foot on the gas pedal and heard a yell from under the car, which had rolled over her husband.

Police said the woman then put the car in reverse and rolled over her husband a second time. As the man cried out, the suspect fled without the purse.

The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition, but he was in stable condition Saturday night. His name has not been released.

Man Beats Pet Store Customer with Dog Bone

LAS VEGAS (AP) – A man has been accused of beating another customer over the head with a dog bone during a quarrel over a Las Vegas pet store’s mask policy, according to authorities.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said 22-year-old Juan Hamilton was arrested on a warrant after the Nov. 8 incident that left the unidentified victim with a skull fracture.

Court records show Hamilton was still being held on a $5,000 bond on suspicion of attempted murder, battery, abuse of an older person resulting in substantial bodily harm and burglary of a business.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal also reported that witnesses told police Hamilton was in line behind another man when the two began arguing over the PetSmart store’s mask mandate.

Witnesses said Hamilton left the store before returning and allegedly beating the victim over the head with a bone.

PetSmart employees helped detectives identify Hamilton because he was a regular at the store.

Hamilton told police he hadn’t been to the store for several months and then asked for a lawyer.

It was unclear Sunday if Hamilton had a attorney yet who can speak on his behalf about the case.

If Hamilton is released from jail, court records indicate he’ll be required to avoid all PetSmart stores.

Will a $1.67 Billion Federal Perk for Local Media Help the Black Press?

Edward Henderson California Black Media A provision in President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better plan will benefit community news publishers across the United States by providing a tax credit that rewards local news organizations for employing journalists.

But some Black newspaper publishers in California -and across the country -- say, although the proposal, valued at $1.67 billion, is rooted in good intentions, it will not benefit their businesses.

“My first reaction was to applaud. This would be the first time a president has put forth a plan that acknowledges we even exist,” said Dr. John Warren, publisher of the San Diego Voice & Viewpoint, the city’s largest Black newspaper. “Congress passed the Preservation Act in 1970, but that didn’t protect us from the losses we saw a few decades later.”

Warren points out that the tax credit is not a big event for businesses that have losses.

“You would have to get a gain to benefit. Most of our papers are not making profits, at least not substantially, due to the pandemic and other factors,” said Warren. “I think it could have been better done if there were bids -- bids for public work jobs, etc, to be advertised in community newspapers. I would consider that something meaningful and sustainable. “ Nationwide, there are less than 5,000 community newspapers, according to Warren. Of that number, Black papers account for less than 200.

“At one point we had about 600 papers in the country,” Warren said, referring to Black-owned and operated publications.

The bill provides a credit of up to $25,000 to defray employment taxes in the first year, and $15,000 in the next four years, for each employee.

Supporters say the provision will create an incentive for some publishers to hire or retain local reporters. The tax credit would amount to around $1.67 billion over 10 years.

On Friday, the United States House of Representatives voted to approve the Build Back Better act with 220-213 vote along party lines. The bill is now headed to the U.S.

Senate where lawmakers are expected to make a number of amendments after Thanksgiving.

The provision was briefly dropped from the plan; however, it was restored after a ground swell of support from mainstream community news agencies.

The new draft strengthened important details surrounding the inclusion of public and commercial broadcasters to receive compensation as well as stronger rules to screen out political advocacy groups. There will also be limits on how much a single corporation can receive.

Steven Waldman, president and co-founder of Report for America told Poynter that “this is a huge step forward for a strong, local press — and for the communities they serve.”

Conservative opponents of the provision have called the measure a “media bailout” and believe that the federal support would create biases in the way news is covered.

Waldman, who has helped lead the drive for the tax credit, believes the funding will support different kinds of news outlets.

“This approach is a simple, content neutral, nonpartisan, First Amendment friendly way to save local news,” Waldman told CNN Business. “It’s focused on the core problem — that the collapse of the business models has led to a shortage of local reporters. This focuses on helping newsrooms to retain or hire local journalists.”

Lisa Collins, publisher of LA Focus, an African American-serving newspaper based in Los Angeles said she was excited when she heard about the measure. But as she read more details, she was not convinced the provision would help her publication.

Collins says she mainly relies on a team of freelancers and contractors. Many of them are not seeking fulltime employment and the costs to transition them to W-2 employees would be prohibitive for her.

“Initiatives like this, I observe, work better when the people they are intended to benefit are included in coming up with the concept and how it will work.” said Collins.

“Nobody included our publications in the conversation.

No one invited us to the table.”

Components of the Build Back Better plan include efforts to reduce the cost of childcare. Namely, a provision that will deliver two years of free preschool for every 3 and

4-year-old in America. It also provides more than 35 million families a tax cut by expanding the federal Child Tax Credit. Funding for efforts to address climate change that would cut greenhouse gas pollution, reduce consumer energy costs and advance environmental justice is a central component of the plan. The act also includes money to expand affordable healthcare and housing tax credits.

“This bill is just the first step. We will continue to address the many challenges faced by millions across America,” said U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA-13). “I urge my Senate colleagues to act swiftly to pass this legislation -- which will create good paying union jobs, address racial and economic inequality, and reduce poverty. I look forward to sending this legislation to President Biden for his signature.”

Slavery Remembrance Day Resolution Reintroduced repeating the horrors of slavery.”

Sen. Warren stated that the horrors of slavery can never be forgotten.

“We must acknowledge the dangers and dehumanization that enslaved people faced, and honor those who led the long fight for abolition and justice,” the senator asserted.

“Today, the legacy of slavery still has pervasive impacts on the descendants of enslaved individuals in institutionalized racism, police brutality, mass incarceration, and in other forms. Representative Al Green and I are introducing this legislation to establish August 20 as Slavery Remembrance Day — an important step to ensure we never forget this stain on our country’s history.”

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent Congressman Al Green (D-Texas) and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have introduced a joint resolution to designate August 20th as Slavery Remembrance Day. “I am privileged and proud to cosponsor this resolution with the Honorable Senator Elizabeth Warren,” Congressman Green stated in a news release.

“She has a rich history of standing up for those who are not in a position to stand up for themselves. I look forward to working with her and passing this historic legislation.”

The congressman said the legacy of slavery, which he called “our nation’s seminal sin,” continues casting its shadow across America today.

“It fuels invidious discrimination even in the most unsuspecting of places and perpetuates attempts at sanitizing oppressive history in our classrooms,” Congressman Al Green stated.

“Currently, we have remembrance days for the

Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11. Enshrining such events not only in our collective memories, but also among our official, collective observances, serves to remind us of atrocities that have occurred and must never be repeated.

As an immoral institution, slavery is no exception.”

Congressman Al Green continued: “This resolution proposes August 20th be designated as Slavery Remembrance Day because on that day in 1619, the first slave ship arrived on the shores of the English-speaking American colonies. This annual reminder is necessary because it teaches persons to denounce oppression while simultaneously exemplifying why it should be denounced.

“However, efforts to teach about the suffering of enslaved persons are being fought by states like Texas with its recent bill to curb how race and the history of racism are taught in schools. The Texas bill is dangerous because it limits teaching by excluding any mention of historic individuals who challenged the discriminatory status quo, such as Harriett Tubman (Araminta Ross) and John Brown. We must remember the history of slavery to avoid

His attorneys filed an emergency request to stop the execution, asserting that the state’s lethal injection procedures pose a serious and substantial risk of severe suffering and pain.

They noted the October execution of John Grant, whom they said convulsed and vomited as the state put him to death.

Earlier, Oklahoma’s Pardon and Parole Board voted 3-1 to recommend that the governor commute Jones’ sentence to life in prison.

Several of the board members reportedly stated that they had doubts about the evidence in the case.

Actress Viola Davis produced a documentary in 2018 that included Kardashian, and several athletes who urged the governor to commute Jones’ sentence.

As Stitt’s decision came down, a large crowd that gathered in the state Capitol roared their approval.

Oklahoma Governor Commutes Julius Jones’ Death Sentence

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt issued a last-minute decision to commute the death sentence of Julius Jones, a condemned inmate whom Kim Kardashian and others had advocated for clemency.

“After prayerful consideration and reviewing materials presented by all sides of this case, I have determined to commute Julius Jones’ sentence to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole,” Stitt said in a news release.

Kardashian joined Jones’ family for months in calling on Stitt to commute the sentence, noting that evidence appears to point to his innocence.

‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’

Captures $44 Million in Theaters

By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer Busting ghosts is still a fairly lucrative business after almost 40 years.

Heading into Thanksgiving weekend, the latest attempt to revive “Ghostbusters” drew a sizable audience to theaters, while the awards darling “King Richard,” like most dramas in the pandemic era, is struggling.

With a reverence for nostalgia and a few high-profile cameos in its arsenal, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” opened

above industry expectations with $44 million in ticket sales from 4,315 locations, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Sony movie is playing exclusively in theaters.

“Afterlife’s” first weekend is actually trailing that of Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters” with Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, which had a $46 million opening in June 2016. Aside from the somewhat unpredictable pandemicera moviegoing habits, the crucial difference is that “Afterlife” cost about half as much to make.

The weekend’s other high-profile offering didn’t fare

as well. “King Richard,” the well-reviewed drama starring Will Smith as the father of tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams, earned $5.7 million from 3,302 locations, missing its modest expectations by almost half. The Warner Bros. film was released simultaneously on HBO Max and in theaters.

Although traditional blockbusters have managed to draw decent audiences, dramas have disproportionately struggled during the pandemic. Most have debuted in the $3 million range. One of the more successful launches was

the Aretha Franklin biopic “Respect,” which opened to $8.8 million.

Meanwhile, in limited release from A24, Mike Mills’ “C’mon C’mon” had one of the best limited platform debuts since February 2020 with $134,447 from 5 screens.

The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as man looking after his 9-year-old nephew.

Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway Honors Slain Rapper Young Dolph

By ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) _ Friends and associates of slain rapper Young Dolph handed out Thanksgiving turkeys at a neighborhood church Friday in Memphis, Tennessee, two days after he was gunned down in broad daylight inside his favorite bakery.

Known for acts of charity in his hometown, the hiphop artist and label owner had helped organize the event at St. James Missionary Baptist Church and was going to participate before he was fatally shot Wednesday.

Undaunted, members of his music label, Paper Route Empire, along with church volunteers and community activists, distributed dozens of turkeys, stuffing mix and cranberry sauce _ and said “happy Thanksgiving” _ to people driving past the church.

It was the type of event Young Dolph, who grew up in the Castalia neighborhood where the church is located, has been organizing for years, often without the reporters and cameras present Friday. Before the event, volunteers spoke quietly among themselves or sat in solemn reflection as his music played outside the church on the sunny afternoon.

Label employee Bee Bee Jones, 38, helped hand out the food, honoring his friend of 30 years.

“When I hear his music, I just break down,” said Jones, who spoke with a reporter while sitting on the rear

bumper of a U-Haul truck full of 300 turkeys. “The truth in all of it, and where he came from, that's what really gets to me sometimes. This is what he would want us to do right here, still keep on giving. He came from nothing, but he wanted to make sure everybody got some.”

Police on Friday kept searching for suspects in the killing, which shook Memphis and shocked the entertainment world. Police have released photos taken from surveillance video that shows two men exiting a white Mercedes and shooting Young Dolph before fleeing.

The killing of Young Dolph, 36, whose real name was Adolph Thornton Jr., intensified cries against violence in the Memphis area, which has seen high-profile shootings at a K-8 school, a post office and a grocery store in the past two months.

This year, 255 killings have been committed in the city of Memphis, already surpassing the 244 slayings last year, the Memphis Police Department reported. That's in addition to thousands of gun-related incidents reported through this past September.

In a statement about Young Dolph's killing, Shelby County Health Department Director Dr. Michelle Taylor called gun violence in Memphis an epidemic.

“The key to addressing the endless cycle of shootings and retaliatory shootings in our community is to heal the generational trauma that makes violence appear to be the

only solution to conflict,” Taylor said.

Some community leaders have expressed frustration that so many attempts to address gun-related crime _ community meetings, efforts to add police officers, increased crime prevention funding, days of remembrance for murder victims, working with former gang members to intervene in disputes _ have not worked.

Van Turner, president of the local NAACP branch and a father of two, said he talked with his boys about the shooting. Turner plans to host a forum next week to discuss strategies to curb gun violence.

“I'm sort of torn, because people say we always do these things and nothing happens,” Turner said. “But then, if we don't do anything, what happens? Nothing. But that doesn't mean we stop. If we don't do anything, we will have given up.”

The Rev. Jason Lawrence Turner, senior pastor of the historic Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church, has been working on addressing gun crime and mentoring young people in Memphis. He said it's time for a “course correction.”

“It's going to take a collaboration of government agencies, certainly churches, and the citizenry, to do our part to divert these instances of violence,” the pastor said.

“And, as well, to instill a greater responsibility in the community so that, when there are instances like this, it's

not the responsibility for those in the community to take justice into their own hands.”

His church, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, has established mentoring programs for girls and boys in middle school and high school. The church also has adopted three schools to provide an avenue for children to talk about their problems and deal with bullying and other threats.

“It's not all on law enforcement,” Turner said. “Law enforcement shows up after a crime has been committed.

We have a responsibility to keep these crimes from being committed.”

Like Jones _ the record label associate _ and other longtime friends, Sheena Crawford called Young Dolph by his childhood nickname, Mane Mane.

She fondly remembers playing with him and his sisters in the neighborhood where their grandparents lived, near St. James church. He liked to play basketball and he was a relatively quiet child, Crawford said.

As she grieves, Crawford also remains frustrated at the lack of progress in the fight against gun violence.

“My anxiety is just up through the roof,” she said.

“When I leave out my door, I'm scared something is going to happen to me, or something is going to happen to my kids. It doesn't make any sense.”

Investigators Exonerate Men Convicted in the 1965 Assassination of Malcolm X

Ed Ford, World Telegram staff photographer – Library of Congress. (New York World-Telegram & Sun Collection via wikimedia commons)

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent Two of the men found guilty of the assassination of Malcolm X are expected to have their convictions thrown out on Thursday, the Manhattan district attorney, and lawyers for the two men said, according to the New York Times.

The stunning reversal recasts history and reopens the case of the slaying of Malcolm X, who died in a hail of gunfire at the old Audubon Theater in New York’s Harlem area.

The exoneration of the two men, Muhammad A. Aziz, and Khalil Islam, represents a “remarkable acknowledgment of grave errors made in a case of towering importance: the 1965 murder of one of America’s most influential Black leaders in the fight against racism,” the Times reported.

The newspaper noted that a 22-month investigation

conducted jointly by the Manhattan district attorney’s office and lawyers for the two men found that prosecutors and two of the nation’s premier law enforcement agencies — the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New York Police Department — had withheld key evidence that, had it been turned over, would likely have led to the men’s acquittal.

The two men, known at the time of the killing as Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson, spent decades in prison for the murder, which took place on Feb. 21, 1965, when three men opened fire inside a crowded ballroom at the Audubon Ballroom in Manhattan as Malcolm X was starting to speak.

Earlier this year, the civil rights leader’s daughters formally requested that authorities reopen the murder investigation because of new evidence.

“Any evidence that provides greater insight into the

truth behind that terrible tragedy should be thoroughly investigated,” said Ilyasah Shabazz, one of Malcolm X’s six daughters.

Shabazz and her family cited a deathbed letter of confession from a man who was a policeman at the time of the 1965 killing, alleging New York police and the FBI conspired in the murder.

Raymond Wood wrote his responsibility was to ensure Malcolm X’s security team were arrested days before he was shot dead in Manhattan, the daughters stated.

The men convicted were all members of the Nation of Islam and were each sentenced to life in prison.

At the time of his death, Malcolm X had separated himself from the Nation of Islam.

Assassins gunned him down at the age of 39.

Groveland Four Cleared of 1949 False Rape Allegations

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent A judge in Florida has finally exonerated the “Groveland Four,” the African American men falsely accused of raping a white teenager in 1949.

“Wow, it’s been a long time coming,” Gerald Threat, the nephew of Walter Irvin, stated in a news conference following the judge’s ruling on Monday, November 22.

“This Thanksgiving, we can have an entirely different atmosphere without this hanging over our head,” Irvin stated.

Carol Greenlee, the daughter of Charles Greenlee, said, “My father was a caring, loving, compassionate person that did not rape anybody.”

Administrative Judge Heidi Davis dismissed the indictments of Ernest Thomas and Samuel Shepherd, both fatally shot not long after the false allegation made by Norma Padget, who was 17 at the time.

Judge Davis then set aside the convictions and sentences of Charles Greenlee and Walter Irvin.

The men who became known as the Groveland Four ranged from 16 to 26 at the time.

“We followed the evidence to see where it led us, and it led us to this moment,” state attorney Bill Gladson remarked during the news conference.

Following the 1949 accusation, the Ku Klux set fire to numerous Black neighborhoods in the town of Groveland.

The Klan reportedly shot Thomas more than 400 times, killing him. They beat false confessions out of Greenlee, Irvin, and Shepherd.

An all-white jury convicted the men, but legendary NAACP attorney Thurgood Marshall successfully fought for a new trial.

Lake County Sheriff Willis McCall shot and killed Shepherd, claiming he attempted to escape.

During the retrial, jurors still returned a guilty verdict, but Greenlee and Irvin were given life sentences instead of the death penalty.

Officials granted Irvin his release from the state prison in 1968. He died one year later of a heart attack at age 39.

Charles Greenlee, the last surviving member of the Groveland Four, was released on parole in 1962 and moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

He died on April 18, 2012, at 78.

Independent investigations determined that all four were innocent, and in 2017, the state issued an apology to their families.

In 2019, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis granted the men pardons, but family members continued their fight to clear their names fully.

$0 Covered California Health Plans Available

Get the Gift of Health Coverage This Holiday Season There is no better gift that people can have than good health, which is especially important during this age of the COVID-19 pandemic. And California’s Obamacare health care exchange, Covered California, is urging African Americans -- disproportionately impacted by the COVID virus – to gift themselves with good health coverage and enroll in brand-name health plans that often cost less than $10 and even $0 per month.

“This year, in the midst of a global health crisis and recession, having access to quality health care is paramount,” said Peter V. Lee, Covered California’s Executive Director. “And the good news is that having health coverage is now more affordable than ever before. During this holiday season, what better way to show a loved one that you care than by giving the gift of health.”

Covered California’s open enrollment period officially began in November and runs three months through Jan. 31. A recordhigh number of 1.6 million consumers are currently enrolled in Covered California health plans and are receiving federal and state financial help to afford their health coverage. This record enrollment has been driven by the increased financial help included in the American Rescue Plan, which is the landmark federal law passed earlier this year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recession it has sparked.

Long-standing systemic health and social inequities make many people of color still at increased risk of getting sick, being hospitalized, and dying from COVID-19, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Additionally, people of color – specifically African

We believe that part of addressing the disparities exposed by the pandemic is by effectively reaching out to enroll all Californians into comprehensive health plans.”

An estimated 1.1 million Californians are without health insurance today and eligible for financial help. Many of them can get free health coverage through Medi-Cal or can get major financial help to purchase a name-brand health plan through Covered California -- dramatically lowering their monthly health care costs. Covered California estimates about 940,000 Californians of those1.1 million people who are uninsured, can get comprehensive health coverage at no monthly premium, either through Medi-Cal or Covered California.

Even for those not eligible for a $0 monthly premium, many Californians will be able to get significant savings on their health coverage. In California, the vast majority of those getting financial help could get quality, name-brand health plans for less than $10.

“Affordability is the number one issue for consumers, and the financial help available through Covered California helps Americans-- have much higher incidences of chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure, according to a recent report by the Commonwealth Fund. “Health insurance can have a

bring the cost of coverage within reach,” Lee said.

Covered California is currently working with 12 health insurance carriers statewide for the 2022 health coverage year, and nearly all Californians will have two or more choices of health insurers in their local areas to choose from.

Consumers will need to sign up by Dec. 31 in order to have their health coverage begin on Jan. 1, and they can quickly and easily find out if they qualify for financial help and see the health coverage options in their area by visiting CoveredCA.com. They just need to enter their household income, ZIP code, household size and the number of people who need coverage and their ages into the calculator on Covered California’s homepage. In addition to visiting CoveredCA.com, those interested in learning more about their health coverage options can also: • Get free and confidential assistance, in a variety of languages, from a certified enroller.

• Have a certified enroller call them and help them for free.

Jerusalem Mission Community Church Serves An Early Thanksgiving Dinner to Community Continued from page A1

Volunteer, Ms. Mae stated, “I live in this neighborhood and I’m not doing anything, so I came out to help today.”

About 20 volunteers from JMCC and other churches came out to help serve meals to anyone who opted to stay and dine out in the church parking lot, while others transported meals to the homeless in various parks throughout the city and surrounding community.

The southeast Bakersfield church, located on Cottonwood Road, is not a novice when it comes to the ministry of serving others in the community. For the past six years they have cooked, served, and transported meals to those who could not physically come to the church to partake in the festivities.

JMCC does not only serve the community during the holiday season, but they serve meals and participate in other forms of ministry throughout the year to help the community and those in need.

JMCC, Pastor Freddie Thomas II, explained, “The church is not just here for the spiritual needs, but for the natural as well, because, oftentimes; the community is always in need of something. The government or governing body can only do so much, they’re limited when it comes to funding, or politics, or there’s always something that (Photo Credit: Carrington Prichett) possibly gets in the way that limits what they can do for the people.” a daily basis.

Get Booster Shot; Celebrate Thanksgiving Holiday Safely Continued from page A1

Officials are encouraging people who took both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least six months ago to get their boosters now. People who took the one-shot Johnson & Johnson primary dose at least two months ago, should also schedule their booster shot.

“COVID-19 boosters are available to all Californians

18 [and over]! Walk-in clinics are open statewide with no appointment necessary - like this mobile clinic in Avenal.

Find a clinic or pharmacy near you and get yours today,” the governor’s office chimed in on Twitter.

Newsom has pushed hard for the vaccine booster since he received his last month.

“Great news for the rest of the country. The holidays are here — make sure to keep your immunity up and protect yourself and your loved ones. Get your booster,” Newsom tweeted on Nov. 18 According to Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, the booster shots are being administered under an “emergency

use authorization.”
