Oakland Voters Reject Spending Taxpayer Money for A’s Howard Terminal Project Two-thirds of voters would not support candidates who voted to spend taxpayer money on project

By Ken Epstein

A new poll of Oakland voters, conducted by a professional polling company, indicates that Oakland voters reject spending taxpayer money to build a new A’s stadium, retail and condominium project at Howard Terminal at the Port of Oakland.

Further, nearly two-thirds of voters say they would not support candidates for mayor or City Council who voted to spend taxpayer money for the Howard Terminal development.

The first question ­— without

being presented any additional information — was: “From what you’ve heard or read, do you support or oppose the Oakland City Council spending taxpayer money to help build a new A’s baseball stadium next to the port at Howard Termi-

nal.”

The results were 46% opposed, 37% in favor and 17% did not know.

Opposition was significantly higher among residents of Council districts 5 and 7, opposed by 56% to 36% in District 5 and 59% to 37% in District 7.

A’s fans — 53% of the electorate — supported using tax money 44% to 42%. Those who are not A’s fans were opposed to spending taxpayer money by 53% to 26%.

The results of the second question about who should pay community benefits was even

more strongly in opposition to taxpayers footing the bill for the A’s corporation.

Here is the question: “As part of any major corporate development or sports stadium plan, local governments in California make the creation of a Community Benefits Fund part of the deal. This is money paid by the developers to fund important projects that local citizens identify, including addressing homelessness, affordable housing, crime prevention, and education programs.

Comcast Announces Major Expansion of RISE Program to Include All Women-Owned Small Businesses Small Businesses Owned by Women — Regardless of Ethnicity — Now Invited to Apply for Comcast RISE Program Aimed at Helping Entrepreneurs Recover from COVID-19 Pandemic

By Adriana Arvizo and Maddie Moore

As of Sunday, Jan. 16, all women-owned businesses within Comcast’s California service area are eligible to apply for the Comcast RISE program.

This major expansion of Comcast RISE furthers efforts to advance digital equity and helps provide underrepresented small business owners with access to the digital tools and funding they need to thrive.

Of the Comcast RISE recipients named in the program’s first year, nearly 70% have been businesses owned by women of color, spurring Comcast to take a deeper look into the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs.

According to a study by the National Association of Women Business Owners, 42% of businesses in the U.S. are owned by women, with more than 1,800 new businesses being started every day. This is nearly five times the national average.

However, according to the

Judi Henderson, a RISE Investment Fund recipient and owner of Mannequin Madness in Oakland.

same study, women-owned businesses are growing at only half the rate of those owned by men, namely because women often face unique challenges when trying to access capital and other resources to help them succeed.

The Comcast RISE expansion to all women-owned businesses recognizes and seeks to help address these persistent inequities women continue to face in accessing the resources and funding that are critical to success.

“Women can sometimes be left out of conversations around funding and technology. If our

business isn’t technology-focused, we can find ourselves left out of finding ways technology can advance our business. But every small business can benefit from a technology upgrade, whether you are in the hair, food or mannequin industry,” said Judi Henderson, a RISE Investment Fund recipient and owner of Mannequin Madness in Oakland. “Comcast recognizes the many challenges women business-owners encounter and the RISE grant is helping put women at the forefront.”

Comcast RISE, which stands for Representation, Investment, Strength, and Empowerment, is

part of Project UP, and is accepting applications through June 17. Small businesses owned by people of color and women in California — in Comcast’s footprint — are encouraged to apply for the chance to receive consulting, media, and creative production services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or technology upgrades based on their specific needs from Comcast Business.

Additionally, Comcast California recently unveiled a new RISE Business Directory for laptops and mobile phones, highlighting nearly 300 small, diverse-owned California businesses that have received grants, marketing and technology services from the Comcast RISE program.

For more information and the applications to apply for either the grant program or marketing and technology services, visit www.ComcastRISE.com.

Adriana Arvizo and Maddie Moore are media representatives for Comcast and Fiona Hutton & Associates respectively.

On Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022, a coalition of community and business leaders held a press conference to call out the request by the City of Oakland’s Department of Transportation (DOT) to waive requirements that would ensure that small, local businesses get opportunities to bid for paving contracts worth up to $60 million.

The formal language to ‘Waive Further Advertising, Competitive Bidding, and The City’s Small-Very Small Local Business Enterprise Participation Requirement,’ essentially locks out minority contractors as well.

Sidney Poitier to Sydney Nycole: Local Artist Remembers Film Legend

By Sydney Nycole

The death of film legend Sidney Poitier had an emotional impact on all of those that appreciated African American excellence.

His image of grace, theatrical excellence, political activism and class inspired African American excellence in film and television. Poitier set the bar for the likes of Denzel Washington, Sam Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Blair Underwood and many others.

Moreover, it’s Sidney Poitier’s body of work and humility combined, that make him special. Our own Bay Area music artist, songwriter and philanthropist SydneyNycole, recalls her last visit with Sidney Poitier in Los Angeles: “Mr. Poitier was jokingly

Best known for having penned the historical adventure novels “The Three Musketeers” (1844) and “The Count of Monte Cristo,” (1846) Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) established himself as one of the most popular and prolific authors in France. He wrote essays, short stories, volumes of romantic novels, plays, and travelogues, many having been translated into more than 100 languages and adapted for numerous films. But Dumas’ own story begins with his father, Thomas-Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie.

Thomas-Alexandre adopted the Dumas name from his Haitian grandmother. He did so just prior to enlisting in Napoleon’s army.

He rose to the rank of general, the highest rank of any Black man in a European army. He would separate from the military after clashing with Napoleon Bonaparte over his Egyptian Campaign.

He left Egypt in 1799 traveling on what was known to be an unsound vessel. The ship’s troubles forced it to put aground in Naples, a city in southern Italy. There Thomas-Alexandre was arrested, thrown into a dungeon, and held for two years.

After his release, he returned to France. The following year, Alexandre was born. ThomasAlexandre died when his son was four.

Dumas’ mother, Marie Louise Labouret, took on several jobs to ensure that her son was educated.

He attended Abbé Grégoire’s school, but later quit to take a job

assisting a local notary. He held such a great interest in reading and books that he relocated to Paris at age 20 to immerse himself in literature. There he met the duc d’Orléans (later named King Louis Philippe) and began working for him as a scribe. It was then that Dumas dreamed of publishing his own works.

He wrote plays, both comedies and dramas. Scholars describe his writing as having a “heavy emphasis on plot; his primary skill as a writer consisted of his capacity to imagine and execute tales of breathtaking adventures that cause the reader to experience feelings of excitement.” Dumas’ style is often compared to that of

his contemporary and rival Victor Hugo.

It is estimated that all his published writings, if placed in one document, would span about 100,000 pages.

Dumas did well financially, but his spending rivaled his earnings. He spent much of his life in debt because of his extravagant lifestyle. He built a home in the country (France) himself (now a museum), but after two years of lavish living, financial difficulties forced him to sell. Another downfall was that he kept several mistresses.

Dumas married actress Ida Ferrier (1840) yet continued to have relationships with other women. According to scholar Claude Schopp, Dumas entertained about 40 women and fathered at least four children outside of the marriage.

To escape creditors, Dumas fled to Belgium, then to Russia.

Still, he published his work, including travel books on Russia.

He continued to take on mistresses, dating much younger women in his old age. He remained married to Ferrier until his death in 1870.

State’s Tax Credit For Renters May Increase Finally After More Than 40 Years

By Keith Burbank Bay City News

California’s tax credit for renters may increase to account for inflation after more than 40 years, according to state Sen. Steve Glazer’s office.

Glazer, D-Contra Costa, and co-authors this week introduced Senate Bill 843, which would increase the credit from $60 for single filers to $500. For single parents and couples, the credit will be $1,000 if the bill passes.

Renters are eligible if they are single and earn $43,533 or less or if they file jointly and earn $87,066 or less. Single parents would be eligible for the same credit as couples.

“We’ve treated renters like the doormat outside California’s economic recovery house,” Glazer said in a statement. “We cannot make an economic comeback without renters having their rightful place inside. Renters have waited 42 years for a modest level of fairness in our tax code. We can’t make them wait any longer.”

The bill has widespread bipartisan support with 43 co-authors. The credit has not been increased since 1979.

Almost 2.4 million renters could benefit from the credit, according to an estimate by the state’s Franchise Tax Board, which collects personal and corporate income taxes.

The renter’s tax credit was established in 1972 and has increased just once, in 1979.

Since then, median rent in the state has more than quintupled, according to Glazer’s office.

Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment in California now exceeds $1,500 and in San Francisco it averages more than $2,700.

Other Bay Area legislators who support the bill include state Sen. Dave Cortese, DSan Jose, Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-San Mateo, and state Sen. Josh Becker, D-Peninsula. Assemblyman Carlos Villapudua, D-Stockton, also supports the legislation.

Taxpayers will receive the full credit if it exceeds their total tax liability, according to Glazer’s office.

State Leaders Call for Teaching Native In Dr. King’s Honor, California Black American History, Culture in Schools Health Leaders Call for Urgent Action During COVID-19 Crisis State Superintendent of Advertorial

By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

African American health leaders joined Covered California to reflect on the life and legacy of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and with the final deadline in the current open enrollment period coming up, to urge Black Californians to sign up for comprehensive coverage through Covered California or MediCal. Doctors David Carlisle and Kim Rhoads, along with Rhonda Smith of the California Black Health Network, say Dr. King’s words on the injustice in healthcare are still profound today. Health inequities abound for Black Californians.

A recent report from the California Health Care Foundation highlighted that Black Californians have the shortest life expectancy – as well as the highest death rates among all racial and ethnic groups from breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer. According to the report, Black Californians also experienced the highest rates of infant mortality, maternal mortality, firstbirth cesareans, preterm births, and low-birthweight births.

Carlisle, Rhoads, and Smith joined Covered California to encourage Black Californians to get COVID-10 vaccinations and boosters and to sign up for affordable, quality health insurance coverage before open enrollment closes at the end of the month. The health leaders stressed that having access to quality health care is a means to help ensure health equity for Blacks Californians.

“Achieving health equity for African Americans is an important goal now more than ever,” said Carlisle, CEO and president of Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles. “It is essential that all populations have access to healthcare and the tools needed to face down this historic public health crisis. The only way to get through this is together. Widely available and affordable health coverage coupled with quality health care can help level the field for everyone, putting California in the best position to get on top of COVID-19 and be prepared for future challenges.”

The latest state data shows that COVID-19 vaccination rates among African Americans currently at 52 percent.

Increasing COVID-19 vaccination and booster rates and gaining access to quality health care is key to battling health care inequities, says Rhoads, associate professor of Epidemiology & Biostatistics and the director of the Office of Community Engagement at

Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D-Highland) want Californians to have a better understanding of the history and culture of California’s Native American people.

At the State Capitol last week, Thurmond joined Ramos, the only Native American serving in the Legislature as the lawmaker announced that he will introduce a bill encouraging school districts to collaborate with local tribes to increase knowledge about California Native Americans UC San Francisco. in their communities.

Assemblymember James Ramos ( D-San Bernardino) State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurman.

Ramos said a deeper understanding of Native American people and their sovereignty would help to get rid of enduring racist stereotypes and misperceptions stuck in the imaginations of some Californians.

Last fall, a teacher in the Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) in Southern California was placed on leave after a student shared a video of her mocking Native Americans while teaching math to students.

In the video, which was shared many times across the internet, the teacher was wearing a headdress made of paper feathers while explaining a math assignment. The student who captured the moment identifies as Native American.

“So few people understand the diversity of California’s first people,” Ramos stated.

“They speak different languages, use different musical instruments, practice different customs and traditions. Few know many tribes were wiped out or almost eliminated during the 1800s.”

More than 40,000 students are enrolled in RUSD schools.

About 80% of the district’s students identify as Black, Latino or another ethnic minority, and 46% of them are economically disadvantaged, according to U.S News and World Report.

“These behaviors are completely unacceptable and an offensive depiction of the vast and expansive Native American cultures and practices,” the school district said in a statement. “We are deeply committed to implementing inclusive practices and policies that honor the rich diversity of our district and the greater region. We will be working with our students, families, staff, and community to regain your trust” According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 630,000 people identify as American Indian and Alaska Native in California.

In combination with another race, the number of Native Americans increases to about 1.4 million people. Altogether, they make up 3.6% of all Californians, as compared to 1.9% ten years ago, the 2020 census reported.

Ramos said the legislation he plans to introduce will be the first step toward increasing student knowledge about the indigenous tribes residing in the state.

“We are fine-tuning language in the bill and will introduce it soon,” said Ramos.

“If we don’t do a better job at encouraging our schools and tribes to work together, we’ll see more classroom episodes such as the one we saw last October.”

Vice President Kamala Harris Marks MLK A Breast Cancer Survivor’s New Book Shares the Essential Role Day With Urgent Call for Voting Rights

By Tanya Christian

On Monday, as the world commemorated the enduring legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Vice President Kamala Harris used the occasion to call attention to voting rights. King motivated the masses to fight for the right to vote. Today, that civil right continues to be challenged.

“We must not give up and we must not give in. To truly honor the legacy of the man we celebrate today, we must continue to fight for the freedom to vote, for freedom for all,” Harris said virtually at an event hosted by Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Ga. The Biden-Harris administration has not minced words when addressing the voting rights legislation currently held up in the U.S. Senate.

Last week President Biden called for an end to the filibuster in order to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

“The United States Supreme Court, in recent years, has weakened the Voting Rights Act,” Biden said during a speech in Atlanta. “And now the defeated former president and his supporters use the Big Lie about the 2020 election to fuel torrent and torment and anti-voting laws— new laws designed to suppress your vote, to subvert our elections.”

Over the last year, more than a dozen states have passed voting

laws that would create obstacles for eligible American citizens to cast their ballots. Democrats have been aggressive in fighting these measures, highlighting the fact that Black Americans are often the ones affected by these controversial acts.

But while Democrats in the House were able to pass the legislation drafted to combat the restrictive laws, the measure is lacking the necessary support needed to become law.

“Dr. King pushed even as his character was maligned; he pushed even as his family’s life was threatened. He pushed even as his own life was in jeopardy,” Harris said on Monday. “He pushed for racial justice, for economic justice, and for the freedom that unlocks all others: the freedom to vote.”

The administration sees the stalling of this consequential act as a threat to our democracy. Harris said, “It is time for the United States Senate to do its job.”

How the Black Press Told the World About Emmet Till

By Brandon Patterson

The story of Emmet Till has made its way back into the news in recent weeks on the heels of a new TV miniseries and new developments at the federal level.

Earlier this month, the historical docuseries “Mothers of the Movement” premiered on ABC. And last week, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill to posthumously award Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie TillMobley, the Congressional Gold Medal.

Emmett Till’s story remains with us to this day, but lesser

known is the role of the Black press in bringing his story to light – and in so doing, helping to catalyze the modern Civil Rights

Movement.

One of the earliest news outlets to cover the Till story was the Chicago Defender, at the time one of the most influential Black weekly newspapers in the country, with two-thirds of its readership located outside the city, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The account of reporter Mattie Smith Colin, who covered the arrival of Till’s body at a local train station, captured the anguish of his mother as received her son. Then, Jet Magazine became the first news outlet to publish the gruesome photos of Till’s body at his funeral, which his mother insisted be open casContinued on page 9

That Optimism Plays in Healing

By Jazmine Denise Thompson, Ebony Magazine

When life’s greatest obstacles present themselves, Diversity & Inclusion Strategist Kimberly S. Reed says that, in many ways, optimism will help to determine your outcome.

Reed learned this lesson from her own mother after witnessing her battle with leukemia and had to quickly put those teachings to the test when she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer just three months after her mother’s passing.

Doctors would later learn that Reed’s Stage 2 cancer was actually Stage 4 after an anatomy scan revealed cancer on the tip of her liver. “We do not go through life untested,” Reed told Ebony magazine.

“We do not become the best version of who we are by going untested.”

When faced with one of the biggest tests of her life, Reed first tapped into the power of her lived experiences. Particularly, her mother’s cancer journey.

“The power of your rear view is so critical to our perspective of healing and growth,” says Reed. “I watched my mother gracefully walk to and through this disease with unyielding faith. Indescribable faith. She never took her eye off God. Even when I knew she didn’t feel well.”

Her mother’s experience provided her with a wealth of knowledge that would leave her well-equipped in her own cancer journey. “We did a lot of research around food when my mom was diagnosed. Everything that was cancer-cen-

tric I knew,” explains Reed.

In addition to using her mother’s faith as a model for how she would carry herself throughout her own illness, Reed did not discuss the fact that she was going through chemotherapy with those outside of her immediate circle and she turned to wigs to hide the hair loss caused by the treatment.

“Optimism, attitude, and how we view our circumstances is so important to our healing and how we tell our stories,” she explains. “It’s not the strongest people who survive or the most intelligent. It’s the people who respond most to change.”

The experience inspired Reed to pen the self-help book, “Optimists Always Win! Moving from Defeat to Life’s C-Suite.” On top of offering practical, actionable advice on combatting discouragement, 100% of the proceeds from sales go to cancer charities.

The golden nuggets offered by Reed address how to strike the delicate balance between resisting the urge

to succumb to toxic positivity by being in denial about your reality while also paying close attention to the way you discuss your circumstances.

“You can’t be in denial about your current reality. You must address issues keeping you away from your healing,” she advises. “Healing begins when you change the way you tell your story.

There’s a combination of optimism and realistic thinking that helps people to navigate through life.”

She also masterfully tears down lofty ideas about optimism while providing attainable steps about how we can all move forward in 2022 in a more optimistic way.

“Optimism helps us to view the world, other people and events in the most favorable light possible,” she shares. “It’s so closely linked to our resilience. Our inner voice can empower us or limit us. You learn optimism by finding purpose in your life.

When you’re filled with purpose, you’re better equipped to see the glass half full.”

CDU is the only historically Black college in California. It is also designated a “MinorityServing Institution” by the U.S. Office for Civil Rights.

Black Caucus Endorses Sen. Kamlager to Replace U.S. Rep. Karen Bass

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

The California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) has thrown its support behind one of its own.

Last week, Sen. Steve Bradford (D-Gardena) announced that the group of African American state legislators will endorse Sen. Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles) to succeed U.S. Rep. Karen Bass (DCA-37) in Congress.

Bass, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2011, announced in September that she is not seeking re-election to Congress to run for mayor of Los Angeles.

“Sydney Kamlager has spent her career prioritizing equity and access for Californians,” Bradford said, praising

his colleague, who is also vicechair of the CLBC. Bradford and Kamlager are the only two Black lawmakers serving in the California Senate. The other nine members of the CLBC are all members of the Assembly.

“She has a distinguished legislative record on criminal justice reform, health care

equity, environmental protections, and affordable housing,” Bradford continued, explaining the CLBC’s decision to support Kamlager.

For months now, people in California political circles have been speculating that Kamlager, 49, would enter the race to succeed Bass, but, until last week, she had neither denied nor confirmed the buzz around her candidacy.

“Yes, the rumors are true. I know, some think it’s the worst kept secret, but I felt it would be presumptuous to make a final decision before the lines of the district were finalized and wanted to make sure this was the right decision for me and my family,” she tweeted last week.

“I waited until the lines of District 37 were finalized be-

Kelly Lee, the city’s chief cultural officer, hopes that the statue will be more than just another piece of art.

“This traveling monument by sculptor Wesley Wofford represents Harriet Tubman’s courageous journey to free enslaved people,” Lee said.

“It beautifully illustrates her determination, despite the intense opposition, she faced.”

In celebration of the install-

ment of the statue, a slate of programming including exhibits, screenings of the movie, “Harriet,” and a birthday party for the esteemed abolitionist and activist will mark the occasion. Wofford will also participate in panel discussions.

Lee said the sculpture tells a specific story about Tubman, who led over 70 people to freedom from chattel slavery, but it also conveys a message about the quest for liberation “It’s also a universal story of what she represented and the determination that she had,” added Lee.

On Jan. 11, CDU officials say they discovered a bomb threat that had been e-mailed to a generic university e-mail address on Jan. 9.

The sender identified himself as a “Neo Nazi Fascist” and wrote: “…I will detonate all 3 of the Titanium Nitrate Sulfuric bombs. My reasoning … I want to show the Black Population what the White Man can do, we will take back our land!”

“The threat claimed that explosive devices had been planted on the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science campus in South Los Angeles. Out of an abundance of caution, CDU immediately closed the entire campus and notified authorities,” read a CDU statement.

CDU Campus Safety and local law enforcement completed a review of the grounds and facilities and determined that the campus is safe.

The campus reopened for operations Jan. 12, according to Jonathan Zaleski, CDU director of Communications.

Founded in 1966, CDU has trained more than 8,000 health care professionals, including doctors, nurses and public health specialists.

has spread around the nation, with cities and communities in California joining to mark that all-important milestone in the American journey to freedom.

In June last year, President Joe Biden proclaimed Juneteenth an official federal holiday. It is the first commemoration to become a national holiday since President Ronald Reagan declared Martin Luther King Jr. Day a holiday 39 years ago.

Juneteenth is now a paid state holiday in nine states, including Texas, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, Oregon, and Illinois.

“Juneteenth is an important and special annual celebration for Black culture, resilience, and achievement,” said Weber. “Designating this date as a paid state holiday mirrors the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.”

Citing COVID Safety Needs, Oakland High Teachers Limit Encounters With Students

In celebration of what would have been her 200th birthday, a statue of Harriet Tubman was unveiled in Philadelphia, WHYY reports.

Standing nine feet tall and made of bronze, “Harriet Tubman, The Journey to Freedom” was sculpted by North Carolina’s Wesley Wofford of Wofford Sculpture Studio and presented on the northeast corner of Philadelphia’s City Hall last Tuesday. The statue will remain there until the end of March when the city plans to honor the anniversary of her birth in March of 1822.

The statue depicts Tubman, who died in 1913, accompanied by a child who would be the last person she led to freedom. Eventually, she adopted the child.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said the statue has an important story to tell.

“Harriet Tubman’s incredible legacy of heroism, resilience, hope, and activism is a story we can all learn from as individuals as well as a community,” Kenney said. “The presence of stories like these

fore I officially launched my campaign for U.S. Congress,” she said in a statement.

In a special election last March, two-thirds of the voters in California’s 30th Senate District in Los Angeles County elected Kamlager to represent them in the upper house of the State Legislature.

Before that, Kamlager served in the State Assembly for three years, representing the 54th District, which includes Baldwin Hills and Ladera Heights. A former district director for former California State Sen. Holly Mitchell, who she succeeded, Kamlager was also a member of the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees from 2015 to 2018 and served as its president.

The Democratic Primary will be held on June 7.

Kamlager faces two chal-

the years.

“We are proud to partner with Covered California to ensure that healthcare coverage is available, affordable, and accessible to all,” Smith said. “We believe that healthcare is a right and not a privilege, and thanks to Covered California, we can provide a pathway to get more people insured and enroll them in the right plan that works for them.”

Covered California’s current open-enrollment period runs

through January 31. Enrollment in Medi-Cal is open year-round.

Due to concerns about COVID safety issues, many teachers at Oakland High School have been engaging in ‘work to rule,’ a labor action tactic where workers only do the tasks specified in their contract, since January 6.

“It means is we don’t do anything extra,” said Cole Margen who teaches history at the school.

Teachers at Oakland High have been keeping their doors closed to students before and after school, as well as during lunch and their lesson planning periods.

According to David Byrd, a music teacher and union site representative at Oakland High, over 40 teachers out of 89 in the school have come to meetings related to the action and have committed to ‘work to rule,’ but he suspects more teachers are involved. Throughout the school, teachers have hung flyers on their doors indicating their support that say “To encourage greater COVID safety on our site this teacher is working to rule!”

Typically, most teachers at Oakland High School (OHS) would welcome students into their classroom for extra academic help and/or to socialize during non-classroom hours, even though their contract doesn’t require them to do so.

English Immersion teacher Miles Murray thinks this extra work’s absence immediately becomes noticeable.

“There are extra hours we’re expected to work, and must work, in order to keep the school functioning,” said Murray. “We need to remind the public of that.”

While teachers interviewed for this article mentioned a variety of improved COVID safety measures they’d like to see OUSD implementing at OHS, they all stressed their demand for a safer environment for students to eat lunch, including more

tables for the large cafeteria and more outdoor dining facilities. They report that the lack of spaces to eat safely and comfortably has forced students to eat in unsafe places, like the hallways.

“When I do work to rule and hold the line by saying ‘you can’t lunch in my classroom,’” said English teacher Marika Iyer, “I hope to make it clear to the admin, district and the community that these are not safe conditions.”

“I’m not sure where to go and I don’t feel like there’s anywhere safe to eat,” said Trey Shanklin, an OHS senior. “If OUSD provided more outside eating options I would definitely be eating outside more than inside.”

In an e-mail to The Oakland Post, OUSD director of communications John Sasaki stated that the district had built “covered outdoor structures at numerous schools since the fall,” and that they plan to continue to do so, but supply chain issues have slowed the process at some schools.

“Whenever [the materials] come in, our staff quickly gets them installed,” he wrote. “That will happen soon at Oakland High School.”

But until the facilities are installed at their school, OHS teachers say they plan to con-

Kaiser Mental Health Therapists Strike for Racial Justice on MLK Day

Refusing to let Kaiser pay lip service to racial justice while failing to provide culturally responsive health care for communities of color, mental health clinicians at Kaiser Permanente’s Richmond and Oakland offices held a oneday strike on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Nearly 100 psychologists, social workers, addiction counselors and marriage and family therapists picketed outside Kaiser’s Oakland Medical Center at 3600 Broadway and marched through Downtown Oakland, chanting “Therapist!

Power!” on their way to a rally outside Kaiser’s corporate

headquarters in the Ordway Building at 1 Kaiser Plaza.

“This is my ‘bus boycott.’

This is my ‘sitting at the lunch counter’… This is what MLK would have done,” Sabrina Chaumette, a social worker, who is one of only five Black clinicians on Kaiser’s adult team in Oakland, told colleagues and allies during the rally.

Speaking on the picket line, Assemblymember Mia Bonta, D-Alameda, told the striking clinicians, “When you have people and workers here who want the dignity of celebrating the most sacred and important day in our country… I say, ‘be anti-racist, Kaiser.’”

Clinicians in Oakland and

Richmond voted nearly unanimously to strike after Kaiser executives broke their promise to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a paid holiday in 2022.

In response, Kaiser CEO Greg Adams announced that Kaiser will treat the King holiday as a paid holiday for all Kaiser employees in 2023, but Kaiser executives have still refused to work with clinicians to address structural racism within the HMO, which has resulted in the departure of clinicians of color, further depriving patients of culturally competent care.

Kaiser has rejected proposals aimed at improving recruitment of therapists of color and

Doctor Warning Public About Johnson & Johnson Vaccine

By Tanya Dennis

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently rendered a professional recommendation for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines over Johnson & Johnson shots, deciding with other countries to stop recommending J&J after recording blood clotting disorders in citizens who have taken the vaccine.

Dr. Kim Rhoads, associate professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at UCSF who also works with Umoja Health and member of Oakland Frontline Healers, made that same decision. In April of 2021 Rhoads learned that the J&J vaccine was associated not only with blood clots, but also incidents of Guillain Barre, a rare autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nervous system.

“Intentionally focused on saving the lives of Black folks” Dr. Kim, as she is known in the community, was never a fan of the J and J vaccine.

“The J&J was never up to par with Pfizer or Moderna,” says Kim. “Unfortunately, (members of) the Black community are avid fans of “one and done” versus the two shots required by Moderna and Pfizer. Now, studies show that J&J loses its efficacy after 60 days, which means after two months you should consider yourself part of the unvaccinated population.”

Dr. Kim received an advisory letter from the CDC last week stating that they recommend people who have taken the J& J vaccine not only take a second shot and booster, but that the second shot should be Pfizer or Moderna.

“There’s no problem switching from one to the other and I recommend Moderna” says Kim. “When studying the level of immunity achieved, Moderna is the gold standard, but Pfizer is not far behind.”

Dr. Kim’s major concern is

to whom the J&J vaccine has been distributed. Kim, who also serves the San Francisco community cites the San Francisco data that shows the majority of J& J vaccinations went to the homeless/unsheltered, the incarcerated and the Black community because of the one-shot protocol.

“Again, our most marginalized populations are the most unprotected against this virus.

It is vital we reach them again to protect and inform them.

These people think they’re safe when they’re not,” Kim said.

“Alameda County says 86%

of us have been vaccinated but with J&J losing efficacy after 60 days, we have to consider J&J people as unvaccinated making that 86% a false percentage.”

Kim encourages all people who received J&J to immediately get the Moderna or Pfizer shot including the booster saying, “Even if you get a second shot of J&J and the booster, it only gives you about half the protection you get with Moderna or Pfizer.”

With these considerations, Umoja Health will not administer the J&J vaccine.

But Alameda County authorities will continue to administer J&J shots to those who want them.

Neetu Balram, public information manager for Alameda County, says that “Alameda County-operated vaccine clinics will continue to offer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with the education necessary for an individual to make an informed decision including why the other available vaccines are recommended by the CDC. We respect residents’ choices and will administer the vaccine of their choosing.”

How the Black Press Told the World About Emmet Till

Continued from page 5

ket.

Reporter Simeon Booker and photographer David Jackson covered the story for Jet. Other Black news outlets, including the Defender, also later published the photos, though not a single mainstream white outlet did, according to the New York Times. The photos turned Till’s story into “the first great [national] media event of the civil rights movement,” according to historian David Halberstam, who chronicles the murder in his book “The Fifties.”

Later, Booker’s coverage of the Till murder trial for Jet helped bring the trial to a Black

and national audience. Other significant Black newspapers that covered the Till story included the Amsterdam News in New York City, which, by the 1960s, was the largest weekly community newspaper in the nation, the Pittsburgh Courier, and the Atlanta Constitution.

Coverage of Till’s story was notably different in Black news outlets compared to mainstream white papers. In the South, coverage was often sympathetic to Till’s murderers, notes researcher Michael Oby in a 2007 paper on the Till case.

bilingual therapists, as well as addressing structural racism within the organization.

“Kaiser pays a lot of lip service to racial justice, but when it comes to taking action, it’s always ‘wait till next year,’” said Chaumette, whose schedule is so overbooked that new patients must wait four months for an appointment. “If Kaiser can’t even keep its promise about honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, how can we trust that it will ever take action to address structural racism in its ranks?”

Besides Bonta, participating elected officials included Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley and Oakland City Council members Sheng Thao, Nikki Fortunato-Bas and Dan Kalb.

According to a 2019 report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Black adults in the U.S are significantly more likely than their white counterparts to report persistent symptoms of emotional distress,

such as sadness, hopelessness and feeling like everything is an effort. Despite the need for mental health care, the same report found only one in three Black adults receives it.

At Kaiser, a recent survey of more than 1,500 Kaiser employees represented by the National Union of Healthcare Workers found that 62% of non-white workers reported experiencing racism on the job and 37% of all workers surveyed reported witnessing racism toward their patients.

Additionally, 41% of all respondents reported having patients who struggled to access or maintain treatment because they could not be seen by a culturally-competent provider.

“We are living in a time of reckoning, a time when people of color are no longer content with the status quo,” said Jessica Dominguez, the founder and lead clinician at Kaiser Permanente’s La Clínica. “Because (the) status quo has never included people of color. Status quo is white su-

premacy.”

In response to claims from Kaiser that the clinicians were “weaponizing” the King holiday because they’re bargaining for a new contract, Dominguez said that “structural racism is baked into the Kaiser system.

“People of color don’t stop being people of color when negotiations are done,” Dominguez said. “Racism within the Kaiser system does not end when we ratify a contract.

These issues are deeply embedded in this system and will not simply go away. And it is not enough to denounce racism. We must be anti-racist…

We will not give up and we will not give in because mental health is a social justice issue.”

Matthew Artz works for the National Union of Healthcare Workers, a member-led movement representing 15,000 healthcare workers, including more than 4,000 Kaiser mental health clinicians in California and Hawaii.

Oakland Planning Commission Approves A’s Stadium Project Environmental Study

By Ken Epstein

Billionaire developer John Fisher’s goal of building a $1 billion baseball stadium as part of a $12 billion real estate project on public land at the Port of Oakland took a significant step forward this week as the Oakland Planning Commission unanimously approved city staff’s final Environmental Impact Report, despite widespread community concerns.

While a victory for Fisher and Mayor Libby Schaaf, who is an outspoken proponent of the development, the Planning Commission vote on Wednesday is only a recommendation.

The report will now go to the City Council, with a review expected to begin in February before a vote on approval.

City staff are still in the process of negotiating with the A’s corporation over the financial impacts and other issues that are part of a Development Agreement which ultimately must go to the City Council for approval.

While there were 227 attendees at the Zoom commission meeting, city staff had posted the wrong link to the meeting on the city’s Planning Commission webpage making it likely that many people were unable to watch or participate in the meeting.

Of the 53 public speakers at the meeting, 32 opposed approving the EIR, raising significant concerns about the impact of the project. Speakers included representatives of community organizations, spokespeople for major Port of Oakland busi-

proposed stadium.

Another speaker was Susan Ransom of SSA International, which handles 65% of the goods that go through the Port.

She said the final EIR report was “speculative” presenting a “misrepresentation of the facts about water safety and maritime impacts,” which city staff has failed to discuss with the Coast Guard.

Before the project is finally approved, the Council must consider the General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, the Development Agreement and the preliminary development plan.

Approvals are also necessary from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) and the State Lands Commission.

nesses and the ILWU, the union representing Port longshore workers.

In their unanimous vote in favor of the 3,500-page document, commissioners brushed aside residents’ concerns about the flaws and omissions in the report, as did Schaaf, who seemed exuberant in a press statement announcing the commission’s decision.

“Tonight’s Planning Commission recommendation to send the final Environmental Impact Report on to the City Council for certification is a huge win for our entire region and puts Oakland one step closer to building a landmark waterfront ballpark district with the highest environmental standards,” Schaff said.

One speaker who raised concerns was Nathan Landau, transportation planner for AC Transit.

“Unfortunately, there are still some very serious unanswered questions on how this (project) will affect the AC

Transit system,” he said. “We don’t see a document that addresses these things. (The City) needs to dig deeper and develop an adequate transportation system” to support the

Opinion

voting rights comes on the same week as MLK Day in America and serves as a reminder. Setbacks are all temporary, the fight is constant. The memory of Dr. King motivates us to stay true to the dream.

Vice President Kamala Harris had the best prescription moving forward: Expose the 50 Republicans in the Senate by name who failed to uphold your voting rights. And further expose Manchin and Sinema and any other Democrats who join them.

“I don’t think anyone should be absolved from the responsibility of preserving and protecting our democracy,” Harris told NBC News. “Especially when they took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.”

Voting rights was the issue in Selma. And it’s the issue now.

Biden called it Jim Crow 2.0.

Sadly, in 2022, the fight continues. There’s still much to overcome.

notes, “We are committed to ensuring Black businesses receive their fair share of City contracts.

“We were successful in our fight for the Disparity Study to be released.

We were successful in establishing a better L/SLBE policy. We will be successful in our fight to eliminate current contracting disparities,” Adams said (L/SLBE refers to Oakland’s Local and Small Local Business Enterprise program).

Reid stated “It is an honor to stand with you all today and agree that we have to unite our power to deliver votes that delivers for us, our communities and our City to ensure we have an equitable outcome for all.” She also indicated that she would vote against the

Gregory Hodge, candidate for Oakland mayor said, “Oakland’s physical and social infrastructure has deteriorated to the point of crisis. While we love our teams, we love our neighbors more. Paying their fair share is a tangible way for team owners to show that they love Oakland’s people more than making a profit.”

“What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander, the wise elders used to say.

Let’s expedite an authentic community-driven process to bring fresh development ideas to the Coliseum neighborhood as we have seen in the latest round of supporting the A’s in their Howard Terminal effort.

Our City’s administration owes that same level of expedience, efficiency and respect to AASEG (African American Sports and Entertainment Group).”

Loren Taylor, Oakland city councilman and candidate for mayor said, “Looking forward to having answers to questions addressed and answered before coming to council for a vote”

For a Democracy, the Fight for Voting Rights Never Ends

Because he was dreaming.

Joe Biden thought he could get Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to unite with 48 other Democrats to pass both the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The Freedom to Vote Act would make voting a federal holiday and make voting easier, not harder. It would also make sure the redistricting process would be fair and uniform and reflect population gains. Asian Americans and other people of color wouldn’t be left out by gerrymandering.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act simply restores the teeth of federal oversight to make sure states don’t pass harmful election laws that cut minorities out of the process. We’re trying to get back to the ideals of the original law.

Both bills prove that the threat to democracy is real.

Democracy is not an abstract ideal. You see it when you go to vote. And when you are stopped from casting a vote, that’s as real as it gets. You have been rendered voiceless and uncountable.

In a democracy, that shouldn’t happen. That’s why the proposed voting rights legislation should be a no-brainer.

In that Atlanta speech, Biden asked another no-brainer question: “Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?”

Do you want to be with a person of love, or one of hate?

Hard to believe in 2022 that’s still a hard question for some.

Biden needed to get around the Republicans’ certain filibuster intended to block the legislation. That would require all 50 Senate Democrats to vote to change the filibuster

rule.

And, of course, the same two people who blocked Biden on his baby “New Deal,” a.k.a.

“Build Back Better” plan are in the way: Manchin of West Virginia and Sinema of Arizona.

Sinema this time supplied the dagger to kill voting rights.

“While I continue to support these bills,” Sinema said, “I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country.”

But, of course, in signaling she would allow the Republicans to filibuster, Sinema was doing just that: worsening the “underlying disease of division infecting our country.”

It’s unclear what Sinema wants in negotiation — beyond the power of a presidential takedown.

But it leaves Biden celebrating his first year in office with a party he can’t unite when he needs it, and a country that grades him with an approval rating in the low 40s.

Further, the inability to pass

Taylor (District 6) and Treva Reid (District 7), (Sheng Thao, District 4,) who each addressed the importance of honoring the City’s commitment to distribute contracts in an equitable manner.

Oakland NAACP Chapter President George Holland noted that this item was ironically scheduled a day after MLK Day. “It is a shame that we are still fighting for the same things that Dr. King fought for nearly five decades ago. We will not concede the progress we have made and understand we have a long way to go.”

Councilmember Taylor’s office released a statement.

“If we were to approve this waiver without pushing for higher levels of participation from our local, small, and diverse contractors, it

would undermine the work that we have been doing over the past year. That is why I proudly stand with the community members calling for us to have a more concerted effort to seek out diverse contractors and will not support the requested waivers.”

Although unable to attend the press conference, Ed Dillard of the NAACP LIC stated, “Black contractors are taxpayers in Oakland and deserve work on City of Oakland funded projects. These Black contractors provide jobs for Oakland Black residents.”

Oakland Voters Reject Spending Taxpayer Money for A’s Howard Terminal Project Continued from page 1

posed $450 million Community Benefits Fund connected to the Howard Terminal Stadium project should be paid for? “a) By the A’s because the project is being built using taxpayer money, and the team should pay their fair share of community benefits like all other developers do. OR “b) By Oakland City taxpayers without any money from the A’s, because the waterfront development will create a new entertainment, work and residential destination while keeping the last professional team in Oakland.”

An overwhelming 81% to 15% said that the A’s should use their own money and not rely on taxpayer money to pay for the $450 million in proposed community benefits.

The next question asked was, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement: The City of Oakland should NOT spend over $800 million in taxpayer money to keep the A’s in Oakland when the city has other major needs like homelessness, affordable housing, and crime?”

The results: 69% agreed that the city should not spend over $800 million to keep the A’s in Oakland. Support for taxpayer spending drops from 37% to 27% when the “over $800 million” figure is presented.

In a separate poll question, 70% of Oakland voters said homelessness was one of their top two priority issues, followed by 60% who picked crime and 40% affordable housing. Only 5% said “losing pro sports teams” was a top problem.

Finally, voters were asked how this issue would impact their vote for mayor or City Council in this year’s elections.

The question: “After hearing this information, which of the following two candidates would you vote for in the next election for City Council or mayor in Oakland if their positions on other issues were the same? “a) Candidate A who voted FOR spending over $800 million in taxpayer money for infrastructure improvements to make the Howard Terminal baseball stadium a reality. OR “b) Candidate B who voted AGAINST spending any taxpayer money to support an A’s Stadium at Howard Terminal, even if the A’s may move out of Oakland. “ The results: Two-thirds (65%) said they support Candidate B, who voted against taxpayer money for the Howard Terminal Stadium, “even if the A’s may move out of Oakland.”

Support for Candidate A, who backed the spending of taxpayer money for the stadium stood at only 29%.

The poll, conducted by FrederickPolls, was released by the East Oakland Stadium Alliance. The sample size was 509 interviews of Oakland registered voters. The interviews were conducted Dec. 8-16, 2021. The margin of error was 4.4%. waiver.

Each organization echoed the sentiments expressed that the proposed waiver means a loss of opportunity, a loss of local businesses and a loss of jobs for Oaklanders.

District 3 Councilmember Carroll Fife motioned that the awards be rejected and sent back out to bid.

Councilmember Taylor seconded the motion with an amendment that the bidders be given until Friday, Jan.

21, 2022, to comply with the City’s L/SLBE requirements.

Council directed staff to work with the bidders to ensure that they comply with the City’s L/SLBE requirements in a unanimous vote with the motion as amended.
