The Oakland Board of Education has backed off on closing some schools and pushed the bulk of school closings to the end of next school year in a seeming attempt to blunt the mounting protests against school closures, which over the last week have mushroomed into school walkouts and strikes at affected schools, a hunger strike at Westlake Middle, opposition from City Council members and growing angry demands for action by Gov. Newsom and other state officials.

Passed by a 4-2 school board vote Tuesday night, the final amended list of school closures and mergers includes two schools this year Parker Elementary School in East Oakland and Community Day School, which serves some of the students who have some of the greatest educational needs.

The students will be trans-

In addition to the complete closures, La Escuelita will lose its grades 6, 7 and 8, and New Highland Academy will be merged with Rise Community.

Five schools will be closed at the end of next year: Korematsu Discovery Academy and

Horace Mann Elementary, as well as three schools that were postponed from this year —Brookfield Elementary, Grass Valley Elementary and Carl Munck Elementary.

The meeting started with greetings from Congresswoman Barbara Lee, followed by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta and ended with a report from civil rights attorney Pamela Price on the upcoming Alameda County District Attorney election.

Lee kicked off the Club’s celebration by sharing her memories and reflections about Hon. Shirley Chisholm.

Since Chisholm became the

first Black woman elected to Congress, there have only been 20 Black women elected to Congress in the history of this country. According to Lee, Chisholm had deep ties to the Bay Area and had also attended Lee’s victory party when she won her election in 1996.

Lee also shared information about a video project she has been working on to celebrate the accomplishments of Dr. Ralph Continued on Page 12

Libby Schaaf connected to Fisher through funding of her education nonprofit, Oakland Promise; she calls for closing schools

By Ken Epstein How does real estate development at the Port connect to closing schools? Some political observers say ongoing attempts to displace residents and ‘whiten’ Oakland has two components: one is the snatching of public funds and property to build luxury housing as Oakland A’s owner John Fisher is doing at the Port.

The other part is removing the neighborhood schools attended by generations of Oakland residents and replacing them with charter schools and private schools designed to appeal to more affluent newcomers.

Significant potential allies for school communities fighting closures may be the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and other labor unions at the Port of Oakland, which are under threat from conservative bil-

lionaire Fisher’s stadium/real estate project that seeks to take over public land at the Port of Oakland, potentially fatally disrupting the port’s functioning.

Fisher has strong connections to local politicians. Mayor Libby Schaaf, an outspoken leader pushing for the Oakland A’s Port real estate project, also publicly backs the closing of Oakland schools.

She is a charter school supporter

and has significant connections to Fisher, who, along with other charter school billionaires, helps fund Schaaf’s pet nonprofit project, Oakland Promise.

Fisher is not only a baseball team owner, he is also a charter school tycoon. He and his mother Doris Fisher are leaders in the national effort to charterize school districts. According to the Knowledge is Power Program website,

Fisher is on the board of directors of KIPP schools, which has charter schools across and the country and a network of 17 charters in Northern California, including a school in West Oakland and another in downtown Oakland.

KIPP’s office in this region is at 1000 Broadway, the same building where the school district has its headquarters.

Who is John Fisher? Politically, he is very conservative. According to Wiki, In 2019, it was revealed that Fisher, together with his mother Doris F. Fisher, as well as brothers William S. Fisher and Robert J. Fisher, had donated nearly $9 million to a dark money group that opposed Barack Obama in the 2012 election.”

Beijing’s Winter Olympics? An African American Diplomat Speaks Out for the Uyghurs in China

By Emil Guillermo

Elana Meyers Taylor, an African American and four-time Olympic bobsledder, missed out on the honor of being the U.S. flag-bearer at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing last week.

After testing positive for COVID-19, she was forced into isolation. But by Monday she was cleared to compete in her events.

COVID-19 hangs over these games in China like a dense cloud. But it’s not the only cloud.

The other involves China’s treatment of the Uyghurs.

Pronounced “Wee-ger,”

Opinion

they are a centuries-old Turkic people of Central Asia, but have been annexed as part of western China for a fraction of that time. Uyghurs are often referred to as Uyghur Muslims, and that should be your clue.

In a country viewed as homogenous as China, there are actually more than 50 ethnic minorities. The ones that stick out are the Uyghur Muslims.

Uyghurs’ movements in their home area, the Chinese province of Xinjiang, are restricted. What they do. What they say. How they pray.

The Chinese have subjected them to a forced assimilation

into the Chinese mainstream.

It’s really the systematic erasure of Uyghur culture.

Human rights advocates would say it earns China the gold medal in oppression.

It’s the reason U.S. President Joe Biden isn’t attending the Olympics. The U.S. has joined other countries in declaring a diplomatic boycott.

And the leading voice in defense of the Uyghurs’ human rights? An African American, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. “Uyghurs are being tortured,” Thomas-Greenfield said recently on CNN. “And Uyghurs are the victims of human rights violations by the Chinese, and we have to keep that front and center.”

Mind you, as harsh and direct as those words were, ThomasGreenfield from Louisiana, is being diplomatic. Makes you wonder just how bad it is for the Uyghurs.

The term ‘genocide’ is often used.

The Journal of Genocide Research in 2020 said many at first doubted the word should be used at all. But as British scholar Jo Smith Finley said, “More have shifted closer to this position, and others beyond our discipline have joined in.”

Genocide.

By Post Staff Pamela Moses, a Black Lives Matter activist in Memphis, Tennessee, was sentenced to six years in prison for attempting to register to vote.

Both her conviction last fall and her sentence on Feb. 4 have been met with furor by Black leaders and political progressives.

Janai Nelson, the associate director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, told NBC News it was another level of voter suppression aimed at breaking democracy in the U.S. today.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee Recognizes Learning Black History Year-Round National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day The Harlem Renaissance: A Cultural Awakening

By Alex Katz

On Monday, Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus Co-Chair Congresswoman Barbara Lee reintroduced a resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, which has been observed on February 7 each year since 1999.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS prevention, care, and education within Black communities. It is a day to commemorate the impact of the disease on their health and social needs, and the work that remains in overcoming structural barriers to HIV prevention and treatment for Black Americans.

“While HIV/AIDS affect people of all backgrounds, Black Americans have a higher rate of new HIV diagnoses,” said Rep. Barbara Lee. “In 2018, despite comprising just 13% of America’s population, African Americans represented 42% of all people living with HIV. After 40 years of combating this disease, we know that we cannot end this epidemic without addressing the racial injustice that prevents Black communities from receiving the medical care they deserve.

“I am proud to reintroduce this important resolution to increase awareness, spark conversations, highlight the work to reduce HIV in Black or African American communities, and show support for people with and vulnerable to HIV in these communities.”

Background In 1998, Congress and the Clinton administration created the National Minority AIDS Initiative to help coordinate funding, build capacity, and provide

prevention, care, and treatment services within the African American, Hispanic, Asian Pacific Islander, and Native American communities.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day was founded the following year by five national organizations to provide capacity-building assistance to Black communities and organizations.

In the years since, the National Minority AIDS Initiative has assisted with leadership development of community-based organizations (CBOs), established provider networks, built community prevention infrastructure, promoted technical assistance among CBOs, and raised awareness among African-American communities.

Goals of the National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day Resolution (H.Res. 911): a. Continue the NBHAAD legacy of increasing awareness, sparking conversations, and highlighting the work being done to reduce HIV in Black communities in the U.S.; b. Commend the work of AIDS service organizations, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, health care providers, community health centers, and health

departments that are providing effective, evidence-based, prevention, treatment, care, and support services to people living with and vulnerable to HIV/ AIDS; c. Support effective and comprehensive HIV prevention education programs to promote the early identification of HIV through voluntary routine testing, and to connect those in need to clinically and culturally appropriate care and treatment as early as possible; d. Support appropriate funding for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, research, and housing, including community-based approaches to fight stigma, discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia; and e. Encourage comprehensive prevention, treatment, and care strategies that empower public health workers, educators, faith leaders, and other stakeholders to engage their communities to help decrease violence, discrimination, and stigma toward individuals who disclose their sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status.

The resolution is co-sponsored by Representatives Danny K. Davis, Terri A. Sewell, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Madeleine Dean, Gwen Moore, Joyce Beatty, Don Bacon, Dina Titus, Sheila Jackson Lee, Karen Bass, David N. Cicilline, Donald M. Payne, Jr., Tony Cardenas, Nikema Williams, Adam Smith, John B.

The 1920s was a decade of general liberation. Change was taking place throughout pockets of Black America, and New York City’s Harlem was at the helm.

It was there that Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong flooded nightclubs with the sounds of jazz. Literary talents including Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston, and Willis Richardson penned poetry and prose and stage plays reflecting the Black experience.

Augusta Savage created sculptures and opened doors for other Black artists. She would later establish the Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts and become one of Harlem’s most influential teachers.

The likes of Paul Robeson, Ethel Waters, and Florence Mills brought talent to the stages of theaters in Harlem and beyond.

Publishing houses, particularly Alfred A. Knopf, Harcourt Brace, and Boni & Liveright, opened their doors to Black authors. The African American experience was being documented, sparking the birth of new literary traditions.

Harlem’s streets bustled around the clock as its population swelled. A movement was on the rise. A cohort of talented African Americans was finally being noticed. The Harlem Renaissance, described by some historians as “the golden age in African American culture,” was in full swing.

Meanwhile, significant cultural activity was brewing in

Washington DC, Chicago, and Boston.

While the renaissance was not confined to Harlem, it was a magnet for intellect and talent and served as the symbolic capital of this cultural awakening.

During the 1880s, Harlem had been a neighborhood for upperclass Whites. By the early 1900s, overdevelopment led to empty buildings. Owners were losing money and had to fill them. This meant renting to Blacks.

A few middle-class Black families from the Black Bohemia neighborhood moved to Harlem. Others quickly followed. From unskilled laborers to the educated middle-class, Harlem at that time boasted the largest concentration of Blacks

in the world. All along, angry White residents fought back but failed, eventually deserting the area. This population shift would lead to a Black Pride movement.

The Harlem Renaissance was a phase of a larger New Negro movement that emerged in the early 20th century. The New Negro Movement of the 1920s promoted a renewed sense of racial pride, cultural self-expression, economic independence, and progressive politics. But this pride in and control over how the Black experience was represented began to fizzle out with the stock market crash of 1929 and The Great Depression.

In 1933, when Prohibition ended, White patrons no longer sought out the illegal alcohol in Harlem’s clubs. This forced many entrepreneurs and other residents to look for work as the population continued to increase. The Harlem Race Riot of 1935 broke out following rumors of the arrest and beating of a young shoplifter. This was the death of the golden age.

The Harlem Renaissance changed how America and the world viewed African American culture. It was a time of optimism and revitalization, and its impact remains alive today.

Councilman Dan Kalb said the critical element in the framework is to “ensure that no coal or coke will be loaded, unloaded, transferred between any mode of transportation, including without limitation between or among a motor vehicle, ship or train at the West Gateway.”

The city is working to finalize details of a settlement to resolve lawsuits regarding the 66-year ground lease of the West Gateway parcel of the former army base for a bulk commodity terminal.

“I recognize that much more work remains to be done in partnership with the community, experts and the Port to continue in the fight to reduce harmful emissions in Oakland and beyond,” Kalb said.

California’s Black Women Leaders Talk Politics, Health, Economics and More

By Charlene Muhammad, California Black Media

Hundreds of African American women, professionals from different backgrounds and all corners of the Golden State, came together January 31 to discuss a range of issues important to Black women in California.

California Black Women’s Collective, California Black Media and Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA) organized the event to release and discuss the findings of a report titled “The State of Black Women in California 2022 and Beyond: Essays from Black Women Thought Leaders.”

“Our speakers are …. experts on the issues that are important to Black Women and the Black community,” Kellie Todd Griffin, convener of the California Black Women’s Collective told the virtual audience. More than 700 people registered for the event.

There are nearly 1.1 million Black women in Califor-

nia. However, according to the report, more than 75% of Black households in the state are headed by single Black mothers and 80% of Black households have Black women breadwinners.

The report’s authors say the data in their study is significant for shining a light on the needs of Black women, which is critical to uplifting the Black community. The goal of the State of Black Women in California report is to focus on strategic and collaborative ways on the

needs and concerns of Black women and girls in California, they explain.

The forum had four panel discussions, each one centered on the major themes of the report, which were: Political Participation; Work and Family; Health and Wellness; Employment and Earning; Poverty and Opportunity; Organizational Spotlight; Education; Violence and Safety; and Black Women and Aging. Authors who contributed to the study each spent time diving into the details of

their essays.

The discussion was comoderated by Regina Wilson, executive director of California Black Media and Shakari Byerly of Evitarus.

Kristin McGuire, executive director of the Young Invincibles, wrote “The Power of Next.” Her essay highlighted the need to focus on young women leaders.

Oakland’s COVID Data Show Racial Disparities in 2021 Deaths

By Zack Haber

Data from a recent records request show that the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau attributed 314 deaths in Oakland to the COVID-19 virus in 2021.

Some studies and reporting have suggested that available information on total COVID-19 deaths, especially when it relies on coroners, tend to be

undercounts. Still, unlike data listed by the Alameda County Public Health Department, the coroner’s bureau recorded the race, gender, and age of Oaklanders who died of the virus, as well as the dates on which these deaths occurred.

The coroner’s data show Black people of all ages, along with Latinx people under 65, Continued on page 8

Bay Area Leaders Receive Prestigious 2022 Star Jones Encourages Heart Health in Go Red for Women Day Event James Irvine Foundation Leadership Awards

By Carla Thomas

Oakland Roots Community Health Center’s Dr. Noha Aboelata and DeVone Boggan of Richmond’s Advance Peace are among six winners of this year’s James Irvine Foundation Leadership Awards.

Each year, Irvine’s Leadership Awards recognize innovative leaders whose breakthrough solutions to critical state challenges improve lives, create opportunity, and contribute to a better California.

In addition to spotlighting exemplary leaders whose work benefits the people of California, The James Irvine Foundation provides each recipient’s organization with a grant of $250,000 to support their work.

To learn more about the Leadership Awards, which were announced in San Francisco on February 7, please visit IrvineAwards.org Founder and CEO of Roots, Dr. Aboelata received the award for addressing the root causes of health disparities and improving outcomes for people impacted by systemic inequities.

As a family practice physician and later Chief Medical Officer at Oakland’s Native American Health Center, Dr. Aboelata found the standard

15-minute patient visits insufficient to address the full range of her patients’ issues.

So, in 2008, she founded Roots Community Health Center (Roots) to provide whole health care to those who lacked safety net services and access to traditional support systems — primarily African American men, including those re-entering society from prison — to help facilitate their journey toward self-sufficiency.

Roots has since expanded to serve women and children and provides primary care, navigation services, and employment opportunities to individuals and families in Alameda and Santa Clara counties. Roots’ active clientele exceeds 10,000 — 89% African American, evenly split between men and women, and largely Medi-Cal recipients.

“It takes a lot more than a doctor and an exam room to bring health to our community,” Aboelata said.

DeVone Boggan, founder and CEO of Advance Peace, received the award for creating healthy, safe, and just com-

munities by transforming the lives of individuals at the center of gun violence.

In 2010, Boggan launched the “Peacemaker Fellowship” support group for African American males involved in gun violence but avoided imprisonment. The model is based on Boggan’s conviction that participants are products of their toxic environments and capable of changing their lives, a theory that is supported by outcome data.

Between 2012 and 2019, firearm assaults in Richmond dropped by 85% and homicides were down 65% compared to the eight years prior to launching the program.

In 2016, Boggan spun off the Peacemaker Fellowship® into a non-profit, Advance Peace, which has supported the model’s implementation in Richmond, Stockton, Sacramento, Fresno, Salinas, and Woodland.

“Every one of our Fellows on day one of their fellowship should be in jail. Not only are Continued on page 8

DON’T GUESS. GET THE TEST!

Representing the American Heart Association as an ambassador, Star Jones came through the Bay Area to tape a panel discussion on heart health.

With February as American Heart Health month and Friday, February 5 as Go Red for Women Day, Jones was excited to promote a cause close to her own heart.

“I’m celebrating being a survivor and thriver,” said Jones, an attorney, broadcaster and author who vividly recalls how 12 years ago she initially dismissed symptoms and upon testing was admitted to the hospital.

Jones had ignored the signs of shortness of breath, fatigue, intense heart palpitations, and sudden lightheadedness.

“By the time I did see my doctors and underwent testing, my doctor admitted me that day, and removed a liter of fluid from my heart,” Jones said at the event hosted by the Oakland chapter of the American Heart Association at 426 17th St. “I was then informed that I had critical heart disease, and the aortic valve needed to be fixed or I’d face an entire transplant in three years.”

Jones opted for the surgery and was successfully rehabbed in three months. She lost 160 pounds and changed her lifestyle. “I eat less and move more,” she said. With her new mantra Jones went back to her life of tennis, and her busy broadcasting and legal career.

“I was living a great life, but I was morbidly obese. I’m proud to say I never looked back and have sustained a 140-pound weight loss.”

Jones, famous for being one of the first hosts of the morning talk show “The View,” had always believed her career in

“One in three women die of heart disease: it is a woman’s greatest health threat. Black women are 240% more hospitalized than other groups.

So, it is important to keep track of your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and body mass index.”

Jones is so committed to heart health that she sports red clothing the entire month of February. “It is an honor to represent Star Jones wearing red during Go Red the American Heart for Women Day in support of American Association’s heart Heart Health Month.

Former Black Panther Party Headquarters Could Be Turned into Apartments

By Brandon Patterson

The former North Oakland headquarters of the Black Panther Party could be converted into apartments under a new proposal from the building’s current owner, a plan that has drawn consternation from community members about the implications of tearing down the historic site while receiving mixed reactions from former members of the BPP. Kim Cloud, who has owned the building since 1996 and currently runs a bakery out of it, is proposing to convert the building into a five-story, 20-unit apartment building and said at an online hearing of the Landmark Preservation Advisory board on Monday that his aim is to create more housing in Oakland.

He has the backing of Fredrika Newton, the widow of BPP co-founder Huey Newton. Yet, other former BBP members voiced concern at the meeting or to the media in the past week.

The advisory board voted to allow the proposal to go through the standard city review process on Monday, while requiring Cloud and his development partners to do a deeper historical analysis of the property than the one they presented at the meeting and develop added proposals for how to preserve BPP history at the site if their redevelopment plan gets approved by the city.

“The concerns I hear from the community and staff and folks on this board is that it’s just not quite there,” board member Chris Andrews said on Monday, referring to Cloud’s team’s preservation proposal.

The development plan made

waves on social media last week after a picture of the notice of the plan posted in the window of Cloud’s bakery began circulating online. Commenters on Instagram raised concerns about the role of gentrification in bringing an end to the historic site, located at 5616-5626 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, and opponents of the plan voiced similar concerns at Monday’s hearing.

The proposal would create 18 units of market-rate housing while reserving just two units for low-income residents. And while the building has already been significantly altered since the days of the BPP, memorabilia commemorating the history of the site, including copies of the original BPP newspaper and the organization’s famous Ten Point plan, currently hang on the wall in the bakery.

Cloud has worked collabora-

tively with former BPP members to preserve the history of the party at the site. But a historical analysis conducted on behalf of his development team determined that the building itself does not qualify for historic preservation since the only current marker of the site’s history is the “impermanent” display of memorabilia on the bakery’s wall.

Fredrika Newton read a statement in support of the proposal at Monday’s meeting, noting that an agreement between the Huey P. Newton Foundation and Cloud ensured that the BPP’s history would be preserved there. “[We] believe the appropriate path forward is to support a Black and Oakland-owned redevelopment that will simultaneously welcome us to expanding our footprint at the site.”

But other former BPP mem-

process leading up to their own tree-planting event, including how to calculate their schools’ paper usage. To reach their goal of planting 295 saplings, students at O’Dowd and Tech are reaching out to residents to order the saplings and allow volunteers to plant the saplings in the residents’ yards on March 26.

The sapling-ordering pro-

cess has already begun and will stop on February 26 to have enough time for the saplings to be delivered. The sapling choices include Newtown Pippin Apple, Benton/Skeena Cherry, and Picual Olive.

Students are now also recruiting community volunteers to help plant saplings on the day of the event.

Safety protocols for COVID-19 will be in place as TreePlenish has created specific guidelines to protect both the residents of the community as well as the volunteers for the event.

Residents of the community can help support the event starting now! They can order a sapling to be planted in their

yard or sign up to volunteer to plant saplings on the day of the event.

The more residents who request saplings, the faster the students are able to reach their goal. If residents are unable to order a sapling or volunteer their time, they can also make a monetary contribution on the Tree-Plenish website to help support future tree-planting events.

Together with students from Bishop O’Dowd and Oakland Tech, Tree-Plenish hopes to drive Oakland towards a sustainable future.

Bishop O’Dowd, Oakland Tech Students Take Up Green Cause With Tree-Planting Event

By Ava Stern and Mary Lee

Two local schools are taking up a cause that will help make Oakland greener.

In partnership with TreePlenish, over 450 schools, including Bishop O’Dowd and Oakland Tech, began work last month to help build sustainable communities through youth engagement. March 26 is the date of the mass tree-planting event, and the two schools are now raising funds to reach their goal of planting 295 saplings on March 26 to offset their schools’ paper usage during one academic year.

should be in jail. Not only are they active, but they have also been engaged as a habitual shooter,” Boggan said. “Advance Peace builds trust with each Fellow through goodwill, love, and engagement and helps them identify and achieve their goals.”

When Brandon Smith and Royal Ramey were released from prison, they couldn’t find firefighting jobs even though they had been trained at a fire camp while incarcerated.

As California’s fire seasons become longer and more intense, The California Department of Forestry and Fire Pro-

tection (Cal Fire) reports that they need more firefighters.

But the men and women who were trained while incarcerated couldn’t get jobs.

Smith and Ramey pushed past the barriers most Fire Camp alumni face, which include stigma, parole limitations, childcare, access to transportation, financial limitations and a criminal record hindering their ability to obtain the emergency medical technician (EMT) license required for the job.

They enrolled in a fire academy to be retrained and became wildland firefighters nearly two years after their release and were later inspired to

found The Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program in 2015 to help their peers navigate the complicated hiring process to become firefighters.

FFRP recruits incarcerated firefighters from fire camps and provides individuals — primarily formerly incarcerated men and women of color — with on-the-job training, re-entry support, and connections to firefighting careers.

To date, Smith and Ramey have trained and provided career support to more than 3,000 currently and formerly incarcerated individuals.

Oakland’s COVID Data Show Racial Disparities in 2021 Deaths

Continued from page 3

died at a rate disproportionately high when compared to their percentage of the population.

Of the 314 total Oakland residents the coroner’s bureau recorded as dying of COVID-19 in 2021, they listed 106 of them, or about 33.8%, as Black. This is a disproportionately high rate of deaths when compared to data from the 2020 census, which counted Black people as representing 23.8% of Oakland’s population.

Using the same two data sets, Latinx people accounted for 88, or about 28% of these deaths, while representing 27% of the population. White people accounted for 57, or about 18.2% of these deaths, while white people not also listed as Latinx represented about 28.3% of the population.

Asian people made up 42, or about 13.3% of these deaths while representing 15.5% of the population. One Native American, along with three Pacific

Islanders were listed as having died of COVID-19. Two people were listed as mixed race, while about 6.5% of the deaths had no race listed.

Like elsewhere in the country and around the world, older people died of COVID-19 in Oakland at a higher rate than younger people in 2021. Oakland residents younger than 40 made up eight, or about 2.5% of the total deaths recorded.

Residents older than 90 made up 36, or about 11.5% of the total deaths. People 65 and older made up 213, or about 67.8% of the total deaths.

People under 65 represented a total of 101, or about 32.2%, of COVID deaths last year in Oakland. Latinx people accounted for about 45 of these deaths, a figure that is disproportionately high compared to their share of the population. Black people accounted for about 31 of these deaths, which is also disproportionately high. White people accounted for about eight of these

deaths. Asian people accounted for about five of these deaths.

By the middle of April, everyone in California who was 16 and older was eligible to book an appointment to receive COVID-19 vaccines.

After this point, COVID deaths in Oakland declined dramatically. From May through December 2021, the coroner recorded 125 COVID deaths in Oakland. In comparison, January and February alone saw 157 deaths.

While deaths of all races declined, the proportion of COVID deaths of Black people compared to the rest of the population rose. Black people made up 57, or about 45.2% of the COVID deaths in 2021 from May through December. Latinx people made up 24, or 19.2% of these deaths. White people made up 20, or 16% of these deaths. Asian people made up 12, or 9.6% of these deaths.

bers have expressed resistance.

“Consulting us is the best thing, whether it’s yea or nay,” Katherine Campbell, who was active in the BPP in San Francisco and Oakland, told The Oaklandside, “We didn’t know if we were going to live to tell the story, but we did, and we’re here.”

Another former party member, Saturu Ned, raised concern

about access to the new housing for low-income residents.

“Someone has a right to look at what’s going to benefit them and their family,” said Ned, “but also we need to look at the community.”

“When we did housing, it was housing according to income.”

2/9/22 CNS-3553508# OAKLAND POST ORDINANCE NO.O-2022-9 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR ANIMAL SERVICES UNIT OF THE ALAMEDA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE The Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda ordains as follows: SECTION I The Board of Supervisors makes and adopts the following findings in support of this ordinance: Senate Bill 573 added Sections 31108.3 and 31752.1 to the Food and Agricultural Code, relating to animals. These amendments require that all dogs and cats redeemed or adopted from a public animal control agency or shelter be microchipped. Although the County’s animal control shelter adopted microchipping as standard practice long before SB 573, this new statutory requirement imposes a new required operating cost for the Sheriff’s Office Animal Services Unit. Sections 54985 and 54986 of the California Government Code prescribe the process for the adoption of fees. Section 54986(b) states: “Any action by a Board of Supervisors to levy a new fee or charge or to approve an increase in an existing fee or charge pursuant to Section 54985 shall be taken only by ordinance.”

The Animal Services Unit charges fees to inject a microchip into the animal. The County of Alameda has previously adopted an Animal Shelter Fee Schedule for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office on July 1, 2016. That schedule does not include microchipping.

The Animal Services Unit has determined that a $10 fee per microchip will recover no more than the costs associated with the service. It is necessary to adopt an amended Animal Shelter Fee Schedule in order to recover full costs incurred in providing the services. SECTION II The Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda hereby approves and adopts this Ordinance allowing the Animal Services Unit to charge a $10 fee per microchip.

SECTION III This ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after the date of passage and before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after its passage it shall be published once with the names of the members of Board of Supervisors voting for and against the same in the newspaper published in the County of Alameda. Adopted by majority vote of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda, State of California on the 25th day of January, 2022, by the following called vote: AYES: Supervisors Brown, Haubert, Miley, Valle & President Carson – 5 NOES: None EXCUSED: None ____________________ ______________ Keith Carson PRESIDENT, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS County of Alameda, State of California ATTEST: Approved as to Form Donna R.

Additionally, employers can review their current leave policies to ensure that they are meeting the current and future needs of their staff.”

Dr. Colette Harris Mathews, founder/principal DEIB Consultant at Harris Mathews Consulting wrote about the challenges Black women face

becoming the most educated group in America. Her essay is entitled, “Education’s Part in the Disruption of Success for Black Women.”

“The journey to college is mythical for most Black girls in California. Our nation has a long history of racial trauma and discriminatory behavior toward Black students. The urgency of closing the pay and wealth gap makes Black girls’ path to college particularly alarming due to the role Black women often play in being the primary breadwinner in Black households,” she wrote.

Black girls are further challenged with disproportionate punishments while in school.

“For Black girls, the highest suspension disparity was also in early childhood education where they are 3.56 times more likely to be suspended than the

statewide average for this age demographic,” she explained.

Carlene Davis spoke about the needs of aging Black women. Her essay written with Kiara Pruitt is titled, “Enhancing the Experience of Growing Older for Black Women in the Golden State.” They brought their lived experiences to the creation of Sistahs Aging with Grace & Elegance (SageSistahs).

“From a health perspective … it is important to note that Black women are … disproportionately impacted by the intersectional issues of Alzheimer’s/other dementias and family caregiving,” they wrote.

In California, according to the report, the population aged 60 years and over is growing at three times the rate of the population overall and, by 2026,

the number of Californians over the age of 65 is expected to increase by 2.1 million (as compared to an increase of approximately 500,000 for those 25-64 years old).

“We may find ourselves not only having to make room in our hearts but also in our emp-

ty spare rooms for our sister friends in crisis,” she told the audience. “We must plan and prepare for full lives that can turn frail at a moment’s notice.”

pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $574,594.97 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000539-21-1.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000539-21-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Sickle Cell Clinical Trial Aims to Cure Disease By Correcting Patient’s Mutated Gene Benioff Children’s Oakland Receives $17M in Grants to Launch 4-Year Study Using CRISPR to Eradicate Sickle Cell Mutation

By Lorna Fernandes

UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland has received the largest research trial grant in its history to launch an innovative clinical trial that aims to cure sickle cell disease.

The study, which plans to enroll its first patient by the middle of 2022, will use CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology on patients’ own blood stem cells to correct the mutated gene that causes the debilitating disorder.

Benioff Oakland researchers have received $17 million to support the 4-year trial, in two grants of $8.4 million from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) and $8.6 million from the NIH Cure Sickle Cell Initiative, supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

This trial is the first to apply CRISPR-Cas9 technology in humans using a non-viral therapy to correct the mutation that causes sickle cell disease and is part of a UC research consortium led by UCSF with UCLA and UC Berkeley.

Researchers are recruiting patients for treatment in Oakland and Los Angeles, beginning with up to six adults with sickle cell disease. If found to be safe and effective, it will expand to enroll three adolescents ages 12 to 17 years old.

Seven patients are expected to be treated in Oakland and two at UCLA. It is the first time clinical researchers have attempted to correct a harmful beta-globin gene mutation in a patient’s own cells with non-virally delivered CRISPR gene-correction tools, according to Mark

Walters, MD, a professor of pediatrics at UCSF and principal investigator of the clinical trial and gene editing project.

“This therapy has the potential to transform sickle cell disease care by producing an accessible, curative treatment that is safer than the current therapy of stem cell transplant from a healthy bone marrow donor,” Walters said. “If this is successfully applied in young patients, it has the potential to prevent irreversible complications of the disease.”

Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder that affects the structure and function of hemoglobin, reduces the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen efficiently, and progresses to a chronic vascular disease that affects approximately 100,000 Americans and millions worldwide, with a disproportionate effect on the Black community.

This clinical study continues BCH Oakland’s commitment to treating and finding a cure for sickle cell disease. The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Disease Center was created at the hospital in 1973 to provide expert diagnosis, treatment and long-term health management for children and adults with sickle cell disease.

Now known as the BCH Oakland Sickle Cell Center of Excellence, it is recognized as having one of the largest and most comprehensive sickle cell programs in the Western United States.

This trial will combine CRISPR technology developed at Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) — a joint UC Berkeley-UCSF initiative founded by Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna — with

cure that is not just safe and effective, but one that is affordable by to those who need it most,” Doudna said. “There have been a lot of promising developments in recent years with CRISPR-based therapies for sickle cell and other genetic diseases, but it’s essential that we have studies like this that can help us create truly accessible cures.”

As part of its legacy, BCH Oakland was recognized for establishing the first not-forprofit sibling donor cord blood bank, leading to children being cured of sickle cell disease and other blood diseases.

Among its many accomplishments in treating sickle Brooklyn Haynes (right), who has been treated for sickle cell at BCH Oakland hospital since birth, is looking forward to a possible cure. Photo courtesy of UCSF.

UCLA’s expertise in genetic analysis and cell manufacturing, as well as its clinical excellence in the field, and nearly 50 years of expertise at Benioff Children’s Oakland in sickle cell care, including cord blood and marrow transplantation, and gene therapy.

“The use of CRISPR gene editing to fix the mutation causing sickle cell disease in each patient’s own bloodforming stem cells required the development of new methods to produce more than 100 million cells per patient that are gene-corrected, healthy and pure,” said Donald Kohn, MD, medical director of the UCLA Human Gene and Cell Therapy Facility. “Previous research studies were limited to producing ½ to 2 million genetically corrected cells, so this represents a significant increase in scale.”

The disease is caused by a single-letter change, or mutation, in human DNA. This trial will use CRISPR genome editing to correct this mutation directly. The project team from UCSF, the IGI, and UCLA have developed CRISPR_SCD001, a patient-specific blood stem cell therapy that has been modified by a CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease to stimulate repair of the sickle mutation.

In the current trial, the patient’s blood stem cells will be extracted and sent to UCLA’s gene manufacturing lab to be processed using electrical pulses that create temporary pores in their membranes.

These pores allow the CRISPR-Cas9 platform to enter the cells and travel to the nucleus, where it corrects the sickle cell mutation before the cells are reintroduced to the patient.

“The goal is to develop a

cell disease, BCH Oakland scientists studied and received FDA approval for the drug Voxelotor to improve hemoglobin levels and reduce anemia and hemolysis in sickle cell patients.

Going forward, the UCSF research team is hoping to use expanded resources under development in the UCSF Living Therapeutics Initiative as this new treatment is expanded, including the potential to manufacture the investigational cell therapy product at UCSF.

California College of the Arts Staff Union Black Women in Politics Kick off Strikes, Citing Unfair Labor Practices Oakland East Bay Democratic

By Zack Haber

The staff union at California College of the Arts (CCA), a small, private college founded in 1907, engaged in a four-day strike and protest. They’re accusing the school of unfair labor practices that include stalling contract negotiations in an effort to withhold pay increases and benefits.

“We have a unionized workplace now,” said SEIU 1021 chapter President Matt Kennedy, who’s worked in the tech department of the college for 10 years. “CCA needs to acknowledge that. It’s taking forever to come to an agreement because they aren’t.”

The protests featured rallies, teach-ins, group art-making projects and daily pickets that started Feb. 8 and end on Feb. 12. The actions took place on the school’s San Francisco campus every day except Wednesday, when the protest moved to the school’s Oakland campus. Around 200 people, including union members and their supporters, showed up each day to the pickets.

In interviews with this reporter, Kennedy, along with three other current or former workers at CCA, all accused the school of bargaining in bad faith.

“CCA has been stonewalling and dragging their feet,” said Kēhau Lyons, an aca-

maintaining our ongoing commitment to student financial aid and a financially sustainable future.”

On Sept. 27 of last year, National Labor Relations Board Regional Director Valerie Hardy-Mahoney sided with the union by issuing a Complaint and Notice of Hearing stating that CCA had “been failing and refusing to bargain collectively and in good faith with the union.” In that same document, she also proposed new bargaining guidelines for the college to follow going forward.

CCA is currently offering a 2% wage increase to all staff in the union. Workers interviewed for this article see that raise as inadequate and stressed that their most important request while bargaining has been “raising the floor” for staff salaries. To pay the expenses needed to live in the Bay Area, staff said, they want a minimum wage of $55,000.

Kennedy said salary records show 40% of CCA staff makes less than $55,000 per year, and 10% make between $36,000 and $45,000. For many workers, the 2% increase would fall short of providing the minimum salary.

CCA workers point to salaries at the administrative level,

demic advisor who’s worked at CCA for about two and a half years and has been observing the bargaining sessions. “The management side just doesn’t want to get this completed.”

CCA’s staff successfully voted to unionize with SEIU 1021 in April of 2019. Since then, staff members say they have not received any raises outside of those required by law. While contract negotiations started October 2019, CCA’s staff is still working without a union contract. A study by Bloomberg Law based on National Labor Relations Board data shows that, between 2004 and the first half of 2021, the average amount of time it took em-

ployers and unions to agree on a first contract was a little over one year and one month. The union and CCA’s negotiations have, thus far, taken over two years and four months.

In an email, CCA Director of Communications Daniel Owens-Hill, disagreed with staff who accused the college of stalling negotiations.

“CCA remains ready and willing to negotiate as frequently as needed to achieve a fair and mutually beneficial collective bargaining agreement,” Owens-Hill wrote.

“The college has a comprehensive proposal on the table that provides wage increases for our valued staff while also

Bunche Academy and Dewey Academy will no longer be moved to the Westlake campus.

In addition, Manzanita Community School will no longer be merged with Fruitvale Elementary School.

The Oakland Post requested a statement on the closings from OUSD but by press time has not received one.

Under state control since 2003, school communities continually fought against school closings and consolidations, though nothing as massive as the current level of protests.

With the state-funded Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team (FCMAT) always

threatening in the background, the district has already closed about 20 schools in 19 years and is under pressure to close, sell and lease as many as 40 more.

Backing the closures, Mayor Libby Schaaf, who is closely aligned with charter school privatizers and real estate developers, said in an interview Feb. 4 on KQED television that the district could stand to close as many as half of the city’s public schools, adding, “This is an opportunity to do better for our students, for our educators, our families.”

Among the protests taking place at schools in the past two weeks were a mass rally and march downtown of teach-

ers and community groups, a parent strike at La Escuelita, a protest at Brookfield, a hunger strike and student walkouts at Westlake Middle, a mass rally against school closings at Prescott, a strike at Grass Valley and a strike and a town hall meeting at Parker.

The teachers’ union is considering a rolling strike, meaning that schools would take turns striking for a week at a time. On Monday, a union meeting overwhelming endorsed a strike motion.

Said Keith Brown, president of the teachers union, in a media statement: “Students, families, educa-

Doris Fisher, worth $2.6 billion, has “focused much of her wealth and resources on building charter schools. She and her late husband Donald donated more than $70 million” to KIPP schools, building the operation “into the largest network of charter schools in the country, with 200 schools serving 80,000 students in 20 states,” according to an article in the website Capital & Main in 2016.

Doris Fisher was listed in 2016 “as the second-largest political donor in California by the Sacramento Bee — and nearly all of her money now goes to promoting

pro-charter school candidates and organizations,” according to Capital & Main. “While often labeled a Republican, she gives to Democrats and Republicans alike, just as long as they’re supportive of the charter school movement.”

Some of the financial connections between Oakland Promise — Schaaf’s nonprofit — to Fisher and other charter school billionaires are documented in Oakland Promise’s 2018 annual report.

Donations to Oakland Promise in 2018 by Fisher and Fisherowned organizations include between $50,000-$100,000 from

the Oakland Athletics, between $10,000-$25,000 from the Fisher Family and between $10,000$25,000 from the Silicon Schools Fund.

Other charter school billionaires supporting Oakland Promise in 2018 were Arthur Rock, between $1 million-$3 million; Rogers Family Foundation, between $100,000- $1 million; Reed Hastings of Hastings Fund at Silicon Valley, between $100,000-$1 million A locally based pro- charter

education camps. It qualifies as the largest mass internment of an ethnic-religious minority since World War II. China calls the camps vocational training. But survivors of the detentions say they were prisoners, some subjected to torture, rape, and beatings.

And then when people “graduate” from their indoctrination, they are sent to forced labor assignments with Western companies like Adidas, Amazon, Apple, and Google.

Some are calling it a form of slavery.

The lucky ones have fled the country in the Uyghur diaspora. In the U.S., there are about 250,000 Uyghur Americans who are able to keep their language and culture intact.

But many haven’t been able to contact family and friends for years.

China is using the 2022 games as a propaganda tool of Olympic proportions. It even had the lone Uyghur athlete, Dinigeer Yilamujiang, a crosscountry skier, light the torch.

But then wouldn’t let her speak to the media.

So, all is good in China? We should know better.

And all this because the Uyghurs are Muslim and seen by China as terrorist threats to the state.

Nothing sporting about any of that. Enjoy athletes like Elana Meyers Taylor. But heed the words of Linda ThomasGreenfield.

She can see through Beijing’s Olympic rings. She’s fighting for the Uyghers.

Club’s Black History Month Event Continued from page 1

Bunche who was the first Black person to earn a PhD in political science from an American university in 1934. He became an internationally recognized diplomat who served at the United Nations for decades, successfully handling difficult diplomatic assignments around the world.

Bunche was the first Black person or person of African descent to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950.

A committed sponsor of House Resolution 40 (H.R.40), Lee talked about the bill to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the effects of slavery and subsequent racial and economic discrimination against African Americans, the impact of these forces on living African Americans, and make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies.

California Assemblywoman Mia Bonta followed Lee with a report on the crisis facing the Oakland Unified School District and her efforts to help resolve it. She shared her efforts to pass legislation for re-entry services to help reduce the numbers of people returning to prison. She is also working on legislation to change the California Penal Code to allow public access to police records in civilian review boards.

Civil rights attorney Pamela Price updated the Club on the Alameda County District Attorney election coming up in June 2022.

Price noted that the Alameda County Santa Rita Jail is the fifthlargest county jail in the United States, and that a Black person

here is 20 times more likely to be incarcerated than a white person.

She shared the racial statistics and the explosive increase in the number of Black women incarcerated in California. She also shared statistical data from the Alameda County D.A.’s 20192020 budget report.

Price shared the colorful history of civil rights attorney Bob Treuhaft, who ran for District Attorney against J. Francis Coakley in 1966. That race for was the last time prior to Price’s run in 2018 that voters had more than one choice for D.A. In Price’ recounting, she described the close relationships Treuhaft had with the late Supervisor John George and Dr. Maya Angelou.

In fact, his law partner, Doris Brin Walker, worked on the defense team to free Angela Davis in 1972.

As a candidate for D.A. in the June 7 primary, Price also shared some of her proposed solutions to address the racial, gender and economic disparities in the Alameda County criminal justice system, the corruption in the D.A.’s office, and her vision to increase accountability and public safety.

The Oakland East Bay Democratic Club (OEBDC) was founded in the 1940s to establish Black political self determination by organizing grassroots coalitions of African Americans.

Today’s Club leaders remain committed to the original vision while maintaining a vibrant multi cultural identity and advocating for political engagement of every resident of East Oakland.

The Club is one of several legacy clubs chartered by the Alameda County Democratic Party.

Voting Error Leads to 6-Year Prison Sentence for Black Woman in Tennessee

a voting error,” Nelson’s tweet said. “Meanwhile, white individuals who are known to have committed blatant voter fraud have only received probation.

There are two criminal justice systems in America.”

Referring to it as a ‘paper case,’ Josh Spickler, executive director of an advocacy group called Just City, wondered why it was prosecuted at all considering the spike in violent crime in Memphis.

“Elected officials have used incredible amounts of resources in a time when there’s a backlog in this justice system unlike any we’ve seen before.

They use resources to try…(to) convict this woman for trying to vote,” he told the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Moses, a former felon who wanted to run for mayor in 2019, tried to register to vote but was denied.

Believing that the denial was linked to miscalculating the terms of her sentence, Moses approached the department of corrections, where an official filled out the voter registration application for her, and then the county election commission signed off on her application.

What Moses didn’t know was, that under Tennessee law, her right to vote had been permanently revoked after her arrest in 2015 when she agreed to a felony plea deal because she couldn’t afford a $500,000 bond. “They never mentioned anything about not voting, being able to vote…none of that,” Moses said.

Moses would pay dearly for what she didn’t know because once the error on her voter registration application was discovered, the election commission, as was routine, notified the district attorney’s

office.

What was not routine was that Moses would then face charges of perjury and falsifying an election document. This time, Moses refused to plead guilty because she didn’t believe she had done anything wrong.

District Attorney Amy Weirich, a Republican, has been touting the success of her case, gaining nationwide attention by conservative pundits. “What we had proved, we presented to that jury, and they listened to the evidence. They listened to the facts. They applied their common sense, and they returned the verdict of guilty,” she said in a statement to WREG, a Memphis TV station.

In last November’s trial, Moses’ defense showed that the errors were made by government authorities, but the jury and the judge believed that Moses had knowingly attempted to subvert the law.

“I did not falsify anything,” Moses said at her sentencing hearing. “All I did was try to get my rights to vote back the way the people at the election commission told me and the way the clerk did.”

Judge Mark Ward wasn’t having it.

“You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation,” said Ward, who would consider granting her probation after she serves nine months.

Moses’ lawyer, Bede Anyanwu, told the Washington Post her client would appeal.

“This case is one about the disparity in sentencing and punishment — and one that shouldn’t have happened.”
