Vice President Kamala Harris Flies to Europe Amid Fears of War By Post Staff
Vice President Kamala Harris
In what is largely seen as the biggest security risk between Russia and the United States since the Cold War, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris flew to Germany to engage in talks aimed to halt the looming invasion of Ukraine by Russia. It is her most difficult foreign relation issue she has faced in her tenure as vice president. She left on Thursday to meet with several European allies to nail down a unified response to
the Russian leader Vladimir Putin as doubts remain about his assurances that he has pulled back troops at Ukraine’s border. While Pres. Joe Biden remains stateside, Harris will attend the Munich Security Conference. On Friday, she is scheduled to meet the leaders of three Baltic states — Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania — in conjunction with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. On Saturday, she is expected to deliver a speech outlining the Biden Administration’s plans to halt
Russian aggression. Afterward, Harris is supposed to sit down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In a statement to the press, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Harris would “convey to the rest of the world again our ironclad commitment to our NATO allies, our commitment to defending the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and our commitment to putting in place severe economic consequences should Russia invade.”

The Oracle of Allen Temple at 90 By Paul Cobb
Teachers and members of school communities joined the ILWU Local 10 longshore workers who shut down the Port of Oakland and rallied Thursday at noon at Oakland City Hall to halt the takeover of public land at the Port land and the closure of schools to benefit billionaire charter school and real estate developers. Shown (L to R) are Marlo Johnson, ILWU Local 10; Parker Elementary School educators Denise Huffstutler and Hillary Chen, who were among a group from Parker that held a sick-out Thursday to oppose the closing of their school in June; Trent Willis, past president of ILWU Local 10; and Kira Allen, who spoke for hunger strikers at Westlake Middle School.

Longshore Workers Shut Down Port of Oakland, Rally to Save Port and Public Schools By Ken Epstein
Longshore workers, members of ILWU Local 10, shut down the Port of Oakland Thursday, rallying at Oakland City Hall at noon to show their determination to halt the giveaway of public land to billionaire John Fisher’s real estate project at the Port and to show solidarity with the fight of Oakland teachers and communities to save their schools from being closed and given away to privatizers.
Trent Willis, past president of Local 10, called on union members to organize and fight. “We know what we stand for: we stand for equality, we stand against privatization, we stand against gentrification,” he said. “Every generation has had their battle, and this is ours. When it’s time to throw down, we have to stand up.” The name of Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, when mentioned, was greeted by boos. Schaaf, who is viewed as an agent of privatizers like John Fisher,
also has spoken publicly in favor of closing as many as half of Oakland’s public schools. Melvin Mackay, ILWU Local 10 executive board member, emphasized that building of million-dollar condominiums is incompatible with the functioning of a 24/7 working port. “If they ever put residential on maritime land, we’re done,” he said. Said ILWU Local 10 member Linda Adams, “This is not about a ballpark. This is about prime real estate for billion-

A group of teachers and others from Parker Elementary School, which is one of the schools scheduled to be closed in June, held a sick-out and joined the City Hall rally.

To watch the Olympics is a moral dilemma. If you’re an ethnic minority in America, it’s hard not to support the U.S. diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The boycott is over China’s treatment of the Uyghur Muslim minority. As many as 3 million have been placed in reeducation camps and then put into forced labor. If it sounds like a form of slavery, it is. And all because the Uyghurs are Muslims, and Muslims are feared in China as terrorists. Still, U.S. athletes are al-

School District Prepares to Close Schools and Programs in June By Ken Epstein
Reflecting growing consensus throughout the city, the Oakland City Council voted unanimously this week to call on the state of California to halt school closures, supporting the growing fight of Oakland communities, families and teachers to oppose the state-sponsored plan to close as many as half of Oakland’s schools in the next few years. “I am proud the City of Oakland has joined the thousands of students, families, educators, and city leaders in demand-

Oakland Superintendent Explains School Closure
By OUSD Supt. Kyla Johnson-Trammell
This has been a difficult week for many people across the District, especially at schools that are being impacted by planned consolidation. The Board of Education voted (recently) to close seven schools, merge two others, and eliminate grades 6-8 at two K-8 schools. This is set to happen in two phases. Phase 1 will be enacted for the 2022-23 school year and includes two school closures, merger of two co-located schools on their shared campus, and one truncated 6-8 grade program. The remaining closures will take place prior to the 202324 school year, after a year of planning. I know these changes for our school communities are chal-

Learning Black History Year-Round
James Van Der Zee: Black Photographer Who Chronicled Harlem’s Heyday By Tamara Shiloh
James Van Der Zee (1886–1983) acquired his first camera at about age 14. He’d won it as a premium for selling pink and yellow silk sachets. He used the small box camera to photograph anyone who could sit long enough for a portrait. In a short time, he had taken hundreds of photos, making him the de facto town photographer. Each picture incorporated his own distinctive flair. Earlier though, Van Der Zee, born in Lenox, Massacxhusetts, had expressed an interest and talent in music and aspired to a career as a violinist. In 1906, he relocated to New York City with his father and brothers. Skillful at both the

piano and violin, he formed the group The Harlem Orchestra. Still, his heart was in photography. Around 1909, he found work as a darkroom assistant at a small department store
concession. Six years later, he relocated to Newark, New Jersey, where he worked as a darkroom assistant and then as a photographer in a portrait studio. That was his break, but in an unexpected way. He knew it was time to leave when he was told by his boss that no one wants his or her photo “taken by a Black man.” So, in 1916, he returned to Harlem and opened his own portrait studio at a music conservatory on 135th Street founded by his sister, Jennie Louise. VanDerZee was on the brink of becoming the most successful photographer in Harlem. Harlem’s population was booming and works of African American artists of all genres were being noticed. Uptown residents wanted portraits, and VanDerZee began to photograph schoolchildren, church groups, wedding couples, funerals, organized parades, and legendary figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Two years later, Van Der Zee opened the Guarantee Photo Studio in Harlem. Through photographs, he chronicled Harlem residents and their celebrations and continued for the next 40 years.

Pacific Gas & Electric is launching the first wave of a multibillion-dollar initiative to bury 10,000 miles of distribution lines in areas of high risk of wildfires in Northern and Central California. Officials with the utility giant made the announcement last week of the first wave, which aims to place nearly 3,600 miles of powerlines underground. The estimated cost is nearly $4 million per mile, officials said. The project is part of a wildfire mitigation plan to be submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission on Feb. 25. Transmission wires have been blamed for starting many wildfires around the state in recent years, including the Dixie Fire that started in July 2021 and burned nearly 1 million acres and destroyed more than 1,400 structures before it was contained in late October. Company officials said in November that the company would lose an estimated $1 billion from the fire and related lawsuits.

Civil Rights Leaders Slam Tesla After California Charges Automaker with Discrimination By Tanu Henry California Black Media
NAACP California-Hawaii Conference President Rick Callender says he supports the decision of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) to slap automaker Tesla Motors with a discrimination lawsuit. The complaint accuses the company of “systemic racial discrimination and harassment.” Callender says “racism is rampant” at the electric vehicle manufacturer’s plant in Fremont, an East Bay city located about 44 miles east of San Francisco. “We demand a racist free workplace. Business & Gov. orgs should know racist behavior is not tolerated in CA. Who thinks they should own a @Tesla now?” tweeted Callender after DFEH filed the lawsuit February 9. “Segregation at the Fremont factory, along with the absence of Black and/or African Americans in leadership roles, has left many complaints of rampant racism unchecked for years,” says the lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Alameda County. “As early as 2012, Black and/or African American Tesla workers have complained that Tesla production leads, supervisors, and managers constantly use the N-word and other racial slurs to refer to Black workers,” the complaint continues. “They have complained that swastikas, “KKK,” the N-word, and other racist writing are etched onto walls of restrooms, restroom stalls, lunch tables, and even factory machinery. They have complained that Black and/or African American workers are assigned to more physically demanding posts and the lowest-level con-
ceived hundreds of complaints from Tesla employees. “The facts of this case speak for themselves. DFEH will continue to take steps to keep workplaces free of harassment and racism,” he said. Tesla responded to the DFEH lawsuit in a blog post, calling the legal action “misguided” and stating that the claims date back to a period between 2015 and 2019. “The DFEH has decided to sue Tesla instead of constructively working with us. This is both unfair and counterproductive, especially because the allegations focus on events from years ago,” Tesla’s response reads. “Tesla strongly opposes all Rick Callender. president of California’s NAACP and Tes- forms of discrimination and hala CEO Elon Musk. rassment and has a dedicated Employee Relations team that tract roles, paid less, and more The lawsuit also alleges that, responds to and investigates all often terminated from employ- in the past, there have been few complaints,” the post continues.

As Mandates End, State, Counties Unmask with Caution By Aldon Thomas Stiles California Black Media
On Tuesday, February 15, the statewide indoor mask mandate for vaccinated Californians expires. As COVID-19 cases decline, public health officials say the state is easing restrictions in an effort to return the state to pre-pandemic normalcy. “Omicron has loosened its hold on California, vaccines for children under 5 are around the corner, and access to COVID-19 treatments is improving,” said Dr. Tomás J. Aragón, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). “With things moving in the right direction, we are making responsible modifications to COVID-19 prevention measures, while also continuing to develop a longer-term action plan for the state.” Vaccination rates are also increasing, both at the state and national levels. As of February 11, 64.3% of the U.S. population and 73.3%
of California’s eligible population have been fully vaccinated, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and California state health officials. “Unvaccinated people will still need to wear masks indoors,” tweeted Gov. Gavin Newsom last week. However, not all California’s counties will be following Newsom’s lead. During a press conference on February 9, Santa Clara County Health Officer and Public Health Director Dr. Sara Cody announced that the county will not be lifting mandates until officials there determine case rates, vaccinations, and hospitalizations are low enough to reopen. “Our case rates are 40% of what they were but we still have very high levels of community transmission, still higher than at any other point in the pandemic preomicron,” said Cody. “The risk of being exposed to Continued on page 10

Black Republicans Applaud Election There’s 99 Problems, School of James Gallagher as GOP Leader Closures Shouldn’t Be One By Tanu Henry California Black Media
Black Republicans in California are applauding the February 8 election of Assemblymember James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) as the new Minority Leader of the 19-member Assembly Republican Caucus. Gallagher,40, succeeds Marie Waldron (R-Valley Center), who led the caucus from 2018 until last week. “James has always been a measured leader. He’s a good man. I know him and his family. He’s the right man for the position,” said Tamika Hamilton, a Black Republican, U.S. Air Force veteran and candidate to represent California’s 6th Congressional District (in the San Diego area) in the U.S. House of Representatives. Hamilton praised Gallagher for his “common sense” approach to politics, adding that the lawmaker believes in building consensus around important issues. “He is always willing to work with the other side. If the Democrats have a good idea, and it works for people, he will roll with it,” said Hamilton. “I believe his vision for California includes everyone – not just for the party.” In an interview with California Black Media on February 11, Gallagher said his No. 1 goal is to improve quality of life for Californians. During his eight years serving in the Legislature, Gallagher says he has always found common ground with Democrats. “There are a lot of places where we are just not meeting the mark. One of those is afford-

ability. Costs continue to rise. It is harder to afford a house. Harder to afford rent. Our utility bills are going up. And a lot of that is due to policy, said Gallagher. “We have convoluted programs for affordable housing and the result is: We don’t get enough built.” Gallagher also criticized Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic leadership in both houses of the Legislature, pointing to climate programs with burdensome costs to companies and customers; rising crime rates in some part of the state; and billions spent on solving homelessness. “But we haven’t seen a lot of results,” he said. “We want to focus on better solutions we feel will empower people to have a better life. Some solutions are
bipartisan.” Before his election to the Assembly, Gallagher, an attorney, and rice farmer, served on the Sutter County Board of Supervisors from 2008 to 2014. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Political Science at UC Berkeley and his Juris Doctor at UC Davis. Gallagher is married and has five children. In the California Assembly, Democrats hold a super majority of 60 seats compared to Republicans, who only have 19 seats. There is one Independent. Among registered Black voters, about 73% are Democrats while about 5% are Republicans. About 20% of African American voters are Independents. There are no Black Republicans serving as state legislators
or among California’s delegations to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Hamilton says as Gallagher settles into his new role, he should acknowledge that the state GOP leadership has not done a good job of engaging Black Californians. “The party has made some major missteps when it comes to the Black community,” admits Hamilton. “We have to do a better job. But what have we gotten out of the Democrats besides performance and acting? They make us think they are doing the right thing. Gavin Newsom does this beautifully. But where is the action behind it? They have controlled this state for decades without a change in sight.” Hamilton says Democrats cannot continue to tout that California is the largest economy in the country when the middle class is “broke and struggling.” The morning after taking office, Gallagher hit the ground running, pushing legislation to end the state of emergency in California. “Average Californians are scratching their heads. Why are we still under a state of emergency?” he says. “We’ve been under a continuous state of emergency for just under two years. Here’s the problem: when there is a state of emergency, the Legislature has less power and the governor has power to essentially enact rules and executive orders as he sees fit. Those are rules that are established for everyone without zero public input.” Micah Grant, a Black Republican and trustee on the Natomas Unified School District Board, says Gallagher is a guy “whose feet have touched the earth.” Grant, who also serves Califor-
Opinion
By Renia Webb
“Mommy, why are schools closing? Why us?!” A question a 6-year-old second grader should never have to ask his mother. A question, no mother or parent should ever have to search for the answers to soothe the fears of her child. As a mother of four, it breaks my heart that our families are having to deal with OUSD adding yet another stressor to communities who are already living and trying to function in a constant state of trauma from generations of systemic racism. The 13 schools slated for closure is a direct attack on our Brown and Black communities who have already experienced red lining, divestment from social services, over policing, and the war on drugs. While incarceration and poverty continue to escalate in our communities, our students face higher rates of illiteracy, declining graduation rates, and lack of good jobs. We know that the path to bringing real equity and justice to East and West Oakland is by investing in our youth and the people who live there and yet these school closures nia Black Media’s board chairman, says that after the George Floyd riots when tempers were flaring and racial tensions were high, Gallagher joined a spirited community discussion in Sacramento with people of different races and backgrounds. He joined the conversation and took a lot of heat from the audience, but he left the people
are overwhelmingly impacting those very neighborhoods. Meanwhile the State of California, who is responsible for OUSD’s budget shortfall, has a $45 billion SURPLUS. Certainly if the legislature believes budgets are statements of values they will put their money where their mouth is and deliver for our students and families. And this is why I joined thousands of black and brown parents, students, educators, staff, and elected officials this weekend at marches and rallies demanding justice for our city and students. Inspired and ignited by Oakland’s activist roots, we knew that our voices were necessary in this fight for our babies. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle”, and I feel this fight is part of the same struggle he was in. A fight for racial justice. This is why I am urging Oaklanders to stand up for what is right and join us in this struggle to save our schools, demand justice and equity, and ensure our children have a fair shot and a bright future. in the room feeling like someone from state government had listened their concerns and was willing to address them. “James is a serious advocate for education reform – the kinds of reforms that will help Black children in California succeed. That’s the kind of leadership we need,” said Grant.

Looming Funding Faye Carol Holds ‘Dynamic’ Black History Month Concerts Sundays at Geoffrey’s Inner Circle Cuts Worry Schools The Dynamic Miss Faye Carol, in collaboration with world-renowned guest artists, is hosting a four-week concert series, “Faye and The Folks,” celebrating Black History Month every Sunday in February at Geoffrey’s Inner Circle. The first two Sundays featured saxophonist Rickey Woodard of the Ray Charles Band and vocalist Kenny Washington. This Sunday, February 20, the renowned Bay Area vocalist will perform with her all-star sextet, presenting an evening across the musical spectrum from jazz to blues to funk and beyond beginning at 6:00 p.m. Featured in the ensemble will be some of the greatest musicians of our time drummer Dennis Chambers, Berkeley-reared flautist Elena Pinderhughes, trumpeter Bill Ortiz, trombonist Steve Turre, bassist Essiet Essiet, and pianist Joe Warner. These incredible artists have shared the stage with Herbie Hancock, Santana, Parliament/Funkadelic, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, McCoy Tyner, Dizzy Gillespie, George Duke, and many more. The series will close out on February 27 at 6:00 p.m. as Faye Carol teams up with world-renowned pedal steel guitar virtuoso Robert Randolph for a stripped down and intimate night of roots music from the church to the blues and more. Presented in solo and duo pairings, this will be an historic night of roots music through the generations. The Dynamic Miss Faye Carol is known as an icon
it’s imperative that elected officials give the state’s children the first call on the treasury by making school funding stable. Senator Ben Allen, a Santa Monica Democrat, has a good idea to ensure predictable public school funding. SB 579 (Allen), would hold schools harmless from drops in enrollment for this school year and next. This bill is on a fast track. It sailed through the Senate (370) and as of the writing of this column is in the Assembly. We applaud Senator Allen for his amendment to include public charter schools in the bill as well. Funding for school districts has always been protected from drops in student enrollment from year to year, but not for public charter schools. Senator Allen’s bold action will keep all schools “whole” during a time when we are experiencing the traumatic impact of the pandemic. SB 830 introduced by Senator Anthony Portantino, a Democrat representing the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, is another piece of legislation that deals with how Continued on page 10

Some parents are opting to keep their children home which is beginning to cause a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism in schools. This is a huge problem for California public schools, because they rely on students’ average daily attendance for their state funding.

Biden Narrows Supreme Court List to Three Part 2 By Brandon Patterson
President Joe Biden will announce his historic pick for the Supreme Court, a Black woman, by the end of February, coinciding with the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month in March. She will be replacing Justice Stephen Breyer, who is stepping down at the end of June. Biden has narrowed his short list down to three potential nominees, including one from California. Here’s an update on the candidates. Ketanji Brown Jackson Jackson, 51, currently sits on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, considered the second-most powerful federal court in the nation, after being appointed to it by Biden just last year. She’s a two-time Harvard graduate with degrees from both Harvard College and Harvard Law and clerked for Justice Breyer early in her career. As a judge, she’s ruled on high-profile cases including a case involving subpoenas related to the Trump White House. Prior to becoming a judge, Jackson served as an assistant federal public defender and as vice chair of the US Sentencing Commission, where

she led the commission in reducing sentences for federal drug offenders. The Biden administration has been interested in appointing federal judges that buck the traditional mold, and this background in advocacy distinguishes Jackson from many current and former Supreme Court justices, many of whom have served as criminal prosecutors in the past. Leondra Kruger Kruger, 45, currently sits on the California Supreme Court and was the youngest person appointed to the court in 2014. She would be the youngest Supreme Court justice if appointed to the bench and the first person to rise from state court to the Supreme Court (skipping the federal bench) in more than 40 years, if confirmed. A native of South Pasadena, she is a Harvard graduate and was the first Black
woman editor of the Yale Law Journal. Kruger has extensive experience with the U.S. Supreme Court, having served as a clerk for the former Justice John Paul Stevens and serving as acting deputy solicitor general during the Obama Administration. She represented the government in 12 cases before the Supreme Court while at the Solicitor General’s office. And at the Department of Justice prior to that, she was awarded the Attorney Genera’s Award for Exceptional Service, the department’s highest award for employee performance, in 2013 and 2014. On the California Supreme Court, Kruger has authored notable opinions on police conduct and the Fourth Amendment. J. Michelle Childs Childs, 55, currently sits on South Carolina’s federal court.

medicine. The news of his statement spread rapidly through California, and the physicians backed out of the execution. Since then, prison authorities have not found any doctors willing to execute death row inmates in California.
Dr. Bristow’s action ended capital punishment in California. Governor Newsom’s statement that there would be no executions while he is governor put an official stamp on what was already a reality since the day Dr. Bristow spoke out on the subject.

ter schools from the fix. That means 690,657 of California’s public-school children would be left behind in the old funding scheme. That is unacceptable. It’s particularly problematic for Black students because their parents are more likely to choose public charter schools than other ethnic groups. That means that these students would be funded at a lower level than their counterparts in school districts. Senator Portantino should amend SB 830 to include public charter schools, so the bill is helpful to all of California’s publicschool children. As we continue to navigate through a pandemic where the
state’s response is heavily reliant on using a child’s school as the delivery system for education and public health, one lesson is abundantly clear: If we want schools to stay open, lawmakers must stabilize funding for all public schools — including charters. In a state that has a surplus of funding, it is critical that our elected officials prioritize fully funding all schools to protect us from further feeling the impact of the pandemic. Dr. Margaret Fortune is the President/CEO of Fortune School, a system of nine, K-12 public charter schools with over 2,300 students focused on closing the Black achievement gap by preparing students for college.
this year, and providing $6.1 billion in relief for California businesses, respectively. “As California continues to lead the nation’s economic recovery, today’s action deepens our commitment to supporting the workers and businesses that have sustained us all during this unprecedented pandemic and are driving our economy,” said Newsom. “We’re ensuring that workers have the time they need to take care of themselves and their loved ones, expanding our nation-leading small business relief grant program and supporting the businesses whose innovation and entrepreneurial spirit help make California the fifth-largest economy in the world,” he continued. Many private establishments across the state may continue mask requirements in their places of business but a majority of California’s counties have announced that they will be lifting mask mandates for vaccinated people, following the lead of the state. On Feb. 10, Newsom
signed Senate Bill (SB) 115, authorizing a $1.9 billion COVID-19 relief package to bolster the state’s ongoing emergency response. “California has led the nation’s fight against COVID-19 with a comprehensive response that has saved countless lives. As we emerge from the Omicron surge, we’re not letting our guard down,” said Newsom. “The COVID Emergency Response Package will ensure the state has the resources to continue tackling this challenge head-on, with funding to enhance our testing and vaccination efforts, support frontline workers, strengthen our health care systems and battle dangerous misinformation. I thank our legislative leaders for their continued commitment to protecting the health of our families and communities as we navigate the evolving pandemic,” the governor continued.

After Oakland Unified School District’s school board voted to shut down Community Day School at the end of the instructional year during a meeting on Feb. 8 and 9, the site’s staff and students are praising their school and speaking out against its closure. “Just the site alone is so healing,” said Administrative Assistant Sandra Backer as she sat at a table surrounded by trees and near colorful murals. “You can feel it.” Backer has worked at Community Day School since shortly after it opened in 2004. Since then, the small campus that sits in an area of East Oakland forested with Oak, Redwood, Bay Laurel and Eucalyptus trees has served as a temporary learning environment for middle and high schoolers who’ve been expelled from other schools. Backer says most students who

the district issued no expulsions, and the school now enrolls around 15 students, which allows for more individualized attention. “You get more help here compared to a regular school,” said Luis Martinez, a Community Day student. “It’s calmer. You get away from big crowds of people and everyone gets along.” (The name “Luis Martinez” is a pseudonym as this reporter is granting this student anonymity due to his status as a minor navigating a school discipline process.) “Coming to Community Day and experiencing this small class size is sometimes the first step in our students seeing they can be successful in school,” said English teacher Vernon ‘Trey’ Keeve III. “We’re also a staff that is constantly experimenting with new ways to get our students to express themselves.”
attend Community Day are able to clear their expulsion with OUSD and return to a traditional or alternative school. Community Day’s mission statement says they use a “therapeutic approach” by supporting students “academically, socially, and emotionally” both individually and in small
groups through “instruction, counseling and career exploration.” Enrollment depends on expulsion rates and has been low lately. Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the school had 39 students. But during last school year, when OUSD students were almost entirely in distance-learning,

Kaplan also brings her education and training, including a bachelor’s degree from MIT, a master’s in Urban and Environmental Policy (Tufts University) and J.D. from Stanford Law School. “The County governs major issues and controls substantial funding, including for social services, homelessness, public health and hospitals, and other vital community needs,” said a Kaplan. “The County also owns significant properties which could provide an opportunity to expand housing for all and other community revitalization.
“In addition, the County Supervisors get to serve on important regional boards controlling considerable resources, and impacting people’s lives, including the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), and more. I would be honored to serve the public in these important ways, and to work to build stronger communities together.” Some of the important projects Kaplan initiated in Oakland could also be strengthened through countywide coordination and support, such as the innovative civilian responder program, known as MACRO, which provides trained civilians, in the fire department, to respond to non-violent 911 calls for service, such as mental health and related issues.
This program has been widely recognized as an important step to save money and save lives and has received tens of millions of dollars in State funding. She has helped usher forward important community revitalization, affordable housing, and jobs programs, including through the use of public lands which also could be expanded. Kaplan worked together with County, State and Federal leaders to provide large scale COVID vaccination projects and community sites, and other supports, and would be dedicated to making sure the County expands on these efforts, as well as supporting work to provide improved access to healthy food, clean air, quality jobs, and more.

keep from falling. And skiing? I crashed on the bunny slopes. And that’s what makes Jackson’s story so revolutionary. She was able to make up for lost time as an adult, to where she rose up to be the best in the U.S. in the 500-meter speed skate. Jackson was a roller skater first and learned her form on the roller derby banked tracks before she turned to ice. The skills transferred. Before these games, Jackson was No. 1 in the U.S. But every moment is a new moment in speed skating. Catastrophic changes occur in an instant.
At the U.S. trials, Jackson slipped and fell. She didn’t make the team. The world’s No. 1 skater in the 500 meters failed to make the team. This would take an example of athletic affirmative action. Brittany Bowe, a veteran qualifier at the longer distances, also qualifed in the shorter 500 meters. When she saw Jackson needed some help, Bowe could sense the right thing to do. “Right after the race, I knew that if it came down to me relinquishing my spot for her to be named on the team, I would do that because she deserves it,” Bowe said. Jackson earned the right. “It was an honor to
give her that spot.” It’s the true meaning of affirmative action. Jackson qualified, were it not for a slip, but enabled because of an empathetic teammate who knew Jackson had the best chance for gold. Jackson skated the 500 meters in 37.04 seconds, just .08 seconds ahead of the silver medalist. Add Bowe’s gracious gesture, and you have the historic margin for Team America. Black History at Olympic speed. Pure gold. Emil Guillermo is a journalist and commentator. His talk show is on www.amok.com.

public hospitals, transportation connectivity, environmental justice, and expand affordable housing and cut homelessness, and grow economic opportunity for our community. Serving on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors could provide a vital opportunity to build a healthier and more vibrant future for our community. These experiences helped Kaplan make the decision to run for Alameda County’s Board of Supervisors District 3, which includes much of Oakland, along with Alameda, San Leandro and San Lorenzo. If elected, Rebecca Kaplan would become the first ever openly-LGBT Supervisor in Alameda County and would be the only woman now on the Board. She would bring experi-

Or get the ice time to practice speed skating? If you don’t see wintertime athletes who look like you, or if you can’t afford trips to the mountains, or the pricey special gear, what do you do?

nate OUSD’s outstanding state debt to prevent closures and amend state law to revise the Average Daily Attendance formula to remove penalizing schools when children are sick. “With California anticipating a $45.7 billion surplus for the 2022-23 fiscal year, eliminating OUSD’s remaining
state debt through state funding would require an infinitesimal amount, less than one fifteenth of a percent, of the State’s surplus,” said Kaplan. Looking at the history of state involvement in Oakland schools, Kaplan said, “Many years ago (in 2003), the State of California took over control of the Oakland public schools, which they claimed was for the
purpose of fixing the finances. “Sadly, the State officials controlling OUSD ran up debt, leaving the schools worse off financially. Now that California has a record-breaking budget surplus, it is all the more unjust that our youth and families should be made to suffer by cutting their schools, to pay off debt that was run up by State officials,” Kaplan concluded.
At the grassroots, there is growing pressure on Newsom to end his silence and take responsibility to end the decades of state control that have led to 21 schools being closed in the past 19 years and millions of dollars of budget cuts year after year.
want to share with you all that we are prepared — and preparing — to support affected students and families. To help our schools that will be closing at the end of the 202122 year, we have mapped out a timeline of next steps and supports that will be made available between now and the first day of school in August 2022. This year and next, we must be intentional and committed to ensuring that students at Parker, La Escuelita, and Community
Day School and their families have what they need to transition to new OUSD schools and other programs. Although the students at Rise Community School and New Highland Academy are on the same campus, the merging of those two schools will also be supported by our team to ensure a smooth transition for all involved. Here are some of the things our team is focused on implementing for our students and
families: Enrollment: Our goal is for families to have a personalized, warm, welcoming experience with the OUSD enrollment process and for all students to have placements for 2022-23 on March 10, the same notification date as all other families who are applying through the enrollment process to new schools for next year.

As someone who grew up in Oakland and OUSD schools, and as an educator who has spent more than two decades supporting the students and families of Oakland, the well-being and success of our students is always my number one priority. Given the timeline for Phase 1, we must work now to support our students through this change. So, in this message, I

As Keeve discussed Community Day, they sat in their classroom that had colorful student-made posters taped along walls with information and drawings about the authors whose books students were reading. Keeve, a writer themself, said they thought it was important for students to “know who they are reading,” in part because such knowledge could serve as inspiration. Choosing books students can relate to and providing supplemental information to make connections to students’ lives is crucial to Keeve. Recently, some students read “There There,” by Tommy Orange, which takes place in Oakland. Currently, some students are reading “Kindred” by Octavia Butler, whose narrative travels back and forth through time to address slavery in the United States. To connect “Kindred” to the present day, Keeve has been teaching students about
how origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to slave patrols. Community Day has an onsite therapist, Rachel Machtinger, through the Seneca Family of Agencies nonprofit, who students can voluntarily meet with. Seneca collaborates with the school beyond just Machtinger’s role by putting on events and shared meals at least once a month and creating behavioral reward systems instead of using punishment. “Community Day School students have histories of being excluded and pushed out of schools which are supposed to be welcoming of all kids,” said Machtinger. “We try to repair that by embracing students, loving them fully, and seeing their potential.” News of the school’s scheduled closure came suddenly, To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com
Enabling the Privatizers: The End Game is Finally Here By Jane Nylund
Opinion
Lest we all forget, a leaked 2015 report from the Los Angeles Unified School District revealed that Oakland would follow their example with a plan to double the number of charter schools in the district. Here was the plan: 50% of our kids into charter schools (https://capitalandmain.com/ oaklands-charter-school-tipping-point-0531). And now, it looks like that plan is coming to fruition. They are following the privatization playbook to the letter. When the well-paid accountants arrive and show a slide comparing OUSD to other districts of similar enrollments and socio-economic conditions, they make the simplistic assumption that OUSD has too many schools compared to the others. Here’s what they are really saying and what they really mean: Lesson 1: High poverty children don’t deserve smaller schools and class sizes anywhere in the state of California, unless it’s a charter. Lesson 2: It isn’t acceptable for a high-needs district to ap-
pear to have it “better” than the others with smaller schools. Smaller schools are meant for wealthy people. Lesson 3: Because we have no political will to invest in the other districts other similar size and composition, we need to continue to disinvest in Oakland instead, thus creating “equity” at the bottom. Nothing new, we’ve been doing that for years. See Lesson #1. Lesson 4: It’s OK to let Bill Gates experiment with small schools for our kids, until he becomes bored and pulls funding. Below is the equivalent amount of that purported “savings” that really isn’t: • Recent district office administrator salaries for two years. OUSD used to have 14 positions at $200K+; in 2020 they had 47; • Lease costs at 1000 Broadway, which is about $3 million a year; • Cost of a new school site kitchen. So, by closing all these schools, OUSD can now have the cost equivalent of a kitchen. Maybe.

of businesses and nonprofits statewide. “We passed legislation that gives everybody a vote-bymail ballot, and we’ve seen that it works” says Weber, sharing details about a major electoral policy change she has implemented as SOS. “We have to make sure that every eligible Californian not only gets the right to vote, but that they are registered to vote and that they show up.” On Jan. 24, California Black Media interviewed Weber at her Sacramento office. CBM: As an Assemblymember, you introduced groundbreaking legislation. What has the transition been like, moving from actively creating policy to settling into the administrative role of Secretary of State? SOS: It’s been interesting, to go from being a legislator where you share the responsibility of representing all Californians with 80 others in the Assembly and another 40 in the Senate.

In the Legislature, she introduced groundbreaking bills, including one of the strictest laws governing police use of deadly force in the country. It will protect Californians on “both sides of the badge,” she said, celebrating that legislation, which was supported by the California Police Chiefs Association. Weber introduced AB 3121, a bill that set up a committee called the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparations Proposals for African Americans. The group is charged with examining California’s involvement in slavery — and how California should compensate the descendants of enslaved Black Americans. As SOS, Weber is responsible for conducting elections in all 58 counties, managing the operations of the State Archives, and keeping a registry
