After being reassured that Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would not be ‘bending the law to meet a personal preference,’ GOP Senator Susan Collins of Maine said Wednesday that she will vote in favor of making her the first Black woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

The New York Times reported that Collins made the announcement the day after she had a second, private meeting with Jackson on Tuesday.

“There can be no question that she is qualified to be a Supreme Court justice,” said Collins, citing Judge Jackson’s “breadth of experience as a law clerk, attorney in private practice, federal public defender,

At this time, Collins is the only Republican senator who will break rank with fellow Re-

Let the Voters Vote! Citizens Should Decide on Proposal to Build New Ballpark for Oakland A’s

Voters should be given the opportunity to decide whether this is the right time to spend hundreds of millions of dollars of public funds on billionaire John Fisher’s privately owned luxury project.

For the past several years, the Oakland A’s have pursued building a new stadium. A strong contingent of Oakland residents wants the stadium to be built at the existing Oakland Coliseum site. For decades, the Coliseum was home to the A’s, Raiders, and Warriors. Each of

these teams had great success, sellout crowds, and championship seasons at the Coliseum site.

They also argue that the Coliseum site is shovel-ready, accessible by public transportation, and bordered by two major freeways. It does not have the huge infrastructure costs, estimated at over $800 million, that Howard Terminal requires. But the A’s reject the Coliseum site without good

Danaj was arraigned on March 9 and his next court date is April 6.

While in his position as Fremont City Manager, Danaj had unsuccessfully attempted to force

Councilmember Sheng Thao with her mom Chua.

By Sheng Thao

My mom fled her home country of Laos during the secret war in the early 1970s when genocide was being perpetrated against our people — the Hmong people.

She lost her first husband, a soldier, to the war. And when she finally escaped, she was a widowed mother of a 1-yearold, and also eight months pregnant.

During her escape, my mother was shot in the arm, and being the fighter that she is, she was going to do whatever she could to make sure her children would make it out safe.

My father and mother met in a refugee camp in Thailand before they immigrated to the United States. It was there that my mother changed her name to Chua, which translates to “wind.”

They settled in Stockton,

California, in 1979. They didn’t have much, but they raised me and my nine siblings with a strong foundation of love, a focus on family values, and a commitment to supporting the community.

Covid’s Crippling Effects on Learning Black History Year-Round the Farmers Market Scene Lily Ann Granderson, the Midnight Teacher A Closer Look at the Grand Lake Farmers Market

By Ayo Thomas

Many craftspeople whose livelihoods depend on public gatherings like a farmer’s market have experienced severe drops in revenue since the pandemic shutdown started in early 2020.

California is seeing an uneven recovery, according to Vegetable Growers News.

A survey of several vendors at the Grand Lake Market in Oakland revealed the farmer’s market vendors aren’t particularly worried about the new mask protocols.

Several vendors at the Grand Lake Market said most outdoor markets including this one did not close during the lockdown with an exception at the height of the pandemic.

Despite the possible emergence of new COVID-19 variants, co-owner CJ Camacho of Go Nutz for the People says, “Being in an outside environment I feel that it should be more choice related.” Sweet Treats Body Care owner Amber Fletcher had a similar take, saying, “A lot of people are very against the masks and a lot of people are very pro mask but I think it’s really good to have it be optional.”

While COVID-19 may not affect the safety of the market, the profit deficits have been a big issue for some vendors. Because the pandemic has made many people wary of leaving

by Southern plantation owners throughout the antebellum period. An extension of the slave codes, forcing illiteracy was a tactic used to dehumanize and control enslaved Blacks. Under Mississippi law, a white person could serve up to a year in prison as “penalty for teaching a slave to read.”

Despite attempts to keep enslaved people from learning, Blacks would develop strategies to educate themselves.

The pioneering educator helped many to escape slavery because they learned to forge freedom passes.

But the news eventually leaked to local authorities.

Even so, neither Lilly nor her students were arrested. It was discovered that although laws existed prohibiting whites and free Blacks from educating slaves, there were none against a slave teaching another slave.

In 1863, Union troops occupied Natchez. With them came missionaries from the North to establish schools for the enslaved. They had no idea that Granderson had already been educating Blacks. They were surprised to learn that she, too, was a slave. As a freedwoman, she was hired as a teacher by the American Missionary Association.

then that allowed me to navigate relationships in a different way,” she said. “So, I’m not really talking from what I think.

I’m really talking from what I know, from my own personal experience, and I’d love to try this and see if it works successfully at a macro level as it did for me on a micro one.”

In an interview with Post News Group, Wilson provided her views on the root causes of domestic violence and proposed several viable solutions.

“When you subject people to a lack of human dignity, when people don’t have their

basic needs met, that begets a lot of different types of negative behaviors,” she said.

She attributed the causes of domestic violence to how the capitalist system sometimes devalues Black people, and Black women in particular — both of which, from her view, are rooted in slavery. Black women were a commodity, and Black men were vulnerable because they could not protect Black women and were slaughtered when they attempted to, she said.

Fast-forward to 2022 and the “same type of socioeconomic structure exists today as it did then. Black poverty is high. Black unemployment is high. Black folks still are fewer as far as home ownership,” she added.

With that month-to-month struggle for sustenance paired with the lack of options to support people’s needs, “people tend to implode upon each other,” Wilson said.

She said when she thinks about solutions to domestic violence, she thinks about how to detach from the system that wants to manipulate and capitalize on Black people, how to gain deeper knowledge of self and how to create new pathways of life and livelihood.

Some solutions she offered included: tackling poverty and the socioeconomic structure by creating an economy within the Black community and ‘buying Black;’ supporting underfunded grassroots organizations that are grounded in the community; establishing programs and vocational training for children and the community; engaging in agriculture and urban farming; building infrastructure and offering support services.

Related to the solution on economics, she said Black people must learn to “leverage our allies in support of our goals,” even if those allies aren’t Black. She explained that others could and are willing to give resources, but she is an advocate for Black people setting their own agenda.

Wilson especially noted the importance of mastering self, Continued on page 8

California Assembly Approves Constitutional Amendment Abolishing “Involuntary Servitude”

By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media

Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 3, the California Abolition Act, has one more hurdle to clear before voters can approve or reject it in the General Election in November.

The state Assembly voted 59-0 to approve the legislation on March 21, which would amend the Constitution of California to end involuntary servitude in the state. Should the Senate vote in favor of ACA 3 before the end of June of this year, it will go to the voters for a final decision.

Article 1, Section 6 of the California Constitution currently allows the practice of involuntary servitude as a means of punishing crime.

Sen. Sydney Kamlager (DLos Angeles), who authored ACA 3 in 2020 while serving in the Assembly, says involuntary servitude is a euphemism for forced labor, a practice she says is much more nefarious and is comparable to slavery.

Kamlager formally announced the bill on the grounds of the State Capitol in March 2021.

“In our great state of California — often touted as one of the most progressive states in the country — this cannot stand,” said Kamlager. “By removing this language from our Constitution, we are moving our state into the 21st century and taking steps to ensure that no Californian is ever put in a position of involuntary servitude again. Dissolving these remnants of slavery and racial inequality is more important than ever before.”

The 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution was ratified in 1865. It prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude with one exception: if involuntary servitude was imposed as punishment for a crime.

After the U.S. Civil War and continuing through the early 1940s, incarcerated individuals were “leased out” to plantation owners and manufacturers as cheap labor. This system, called “convict leasing,” was later replaced by “chain gangs.”

Article I, Section 6 of the California Constitution, contains the same prohibitions on slavery and involuntary servitude and the same exception for involuntary servitude as punishment for crime.

California’s incarcerated people have no practical ability to refuse to work.

Samual Nathaniel Brown, for example, who contributed to writing ACA 3, was incarcerated at California State Prison, Los Angeles County.

Brown says he was forced to sanitize the cells of other incarcerated people infected with COVID-19 while wearing Per-

sonal Protective Equipment (PPE) that was inadequate.

Brown told California Black Media if he had refused that assignment, he would have been written up for insubordination by prison guards, which would have jeopardized his chances of an early release.

Brown was released from prison in December 2021 after serving a 24-year sentence.

“People need to know that California for so long has been the largest plantation state in the nation. Mass incarceration looms large here,” Brown said.

“This is not the Deep South.

Forced labor is big business here. Taking (involuntary servitude language) off the books will make the modern-day Black Codes ineffective. It will no longer feed the machine as it once did all the way back to 1865.”

Jamilia Land is a member of the Anti-Violence Safety and Accountability Project (ASAP), an organization that advocates for prisoners’ rights.

She told California Black Media (CBM) that she applauded the Assembly’s vote to move ACA 3 forward, but she is disappointed that none of the orga-

nizations that support or sponsor the legislation received “notification for participation” when it was up for a vote.

“We just want to get this thing right and with integrity.

There was a large coalition that helped make this happen,” Land said. “It’s important that Samuel Brown, my husband, who co-wrote ACA 3’s language, and the coalitions get the recognition they deserve.”

Max Parthas, the co-director of the Abolish Slavery National Network (ASNN), says 12 states prohibit enslavement and involuntary servitude but some “exceptions for criminal punishment remain,” he added.

ASNN is a national coalition fighting to “abolish constitutional slavery and involuntary servitude in all forms, for all people.” It supports repealing and replacing the 13th Amendment with language that fully prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude.

“Nine states permit involuntary servitude as a criminal punishment and the State of California is one of them,” Parthas said. “We’re not talking about illegal slavery. We are talking about legalized, statesponsored slavery. To see that ACA 3 is being approached is inspiring to myself and all the other states across the country working towards the same goal.”

Three states have voted to abolish slavery and involuntary servitude — Colorado, Utah, and Nebraska — and in all three cases the initiative was bipartisan and placed on the ballot by a unanimous vote of legislators, Parthas told CBM. To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

Padilla Optimistic About Judge Jackson’s Significant Moment in American History

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

California’s junior United States Sen. Alex Padilla says he is as excited as he is honored to be serving on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary as he and his colleagues conduct hearings to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman nominated to the United States Supreme Court in the judicial branch’s 233-year history.

On Feb. 25, President Joe Biden nominated Jackson, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, to become the 116th justice on the highest court in the nation.

If Jackson is confirmed, she will replace Justice Stephen Breyer, one of her mentors, who announced his retirement in January.

“I’m honored to be sharing in this historic and significant moment in our nation’s history,” Padilla told California Black Media (CBM) in a telephone interview.

The first Latino to represent California in the upper house of the United States Congress, Padilla spoke with CBM while taking a short break from a daylong hearing March 23. During that session, lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans cross examined Jackson.

“I am optimistic about Judge Jackson’s confirmation process. She is an outstanding nominee. She has the qualifications, and she has the experience,” Padilla continued. “If she is confirmed, she will bring a much-needed perspective to the Supreme Court.”

In January 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom nominated Padilla to replace current Vice President Kamala Harris in the United States Senate. Before that, he served as Secretary of State of California for six years.

California’s junior United States Sen. Alex Padilla (left) says he is as excited as he is honored to be serving on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary as he and his colleagues conduct hearings to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman nominated to the United States Supreme Court.

Jackson met with Padilla at his office at the U.S. Capitol prior to her confirmation hearings last week.

“I’m impressed by Judge Jackson’s commitment to the rule of law, her long record of public service, and her clear understanding of how the law affects people’s everyday lives,” Padilla said after that meeting.

Because of the even 50-50 split of Democrats and Republicans currently elected to the United States Senate, no one party has a majority of members on any committee. So, there are six members from both parties serving on the Committee on the Judiciary.

Padilla says the upcoming vote on Jackson presents an opportunity for members of the Committee on the Judiciary — and the Senate, more broadly — to put the extreme partisan-

ship and rancor that has characterized the U.S. Congress in recent years behind them.

California’s senior Sen. Dianne Feinstein, also a Democrat, serves on the committee as well.

Last week, some Republican members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary were questioned in the media about the truthfulness of some of their claims about Jackson and the overall nature and tenor of their questioning during the hearings.

For example, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) portrayed Jackson as soft on sex offenders, calling up sentences she handed down in seven cases.

“Judge Jackson’s views on this matter are not only mainstream; they are correct in my view. Undoubtedly, Jackson — a progressive who worked as a criminal-defense lawyer — is

more sympathetic to criminals than I am,” wrote Andrew McCarthy, a senior fellow at the conservative National Review Institute, disagreeing with Hawley’s assertion.

“If I were a judge, I’m sure I’d impose at least marginally more severe sentences than she has. (Contrary to Hawley’s suggestion, however, she appears to have followed the guidelines, at the low end of the sentencing range, as most judges do.),” McCarthy continued.

Charlie Savage, the New York Times Legal Policy and National Security correspondent wrote, “Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, ripped into Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Monday during her Supreme Court confirmation hearing, tying the nominee to a wide range of conservative grievances. But the lawmaker’s accusations appeared to often be based on quotes taken out of context.”

Savage examined statements and accusations Blackburn made about Jackson on a range of issues, including parental rights, critical race theory, transgender athletes and criminal sentencing.

Before serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals, Jackson was a federal judge on the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia and Vice Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission.

She has also worked in private practice and as a clerk at the U.S. Supreme Court.

An alumna of Harvard College, where she studied government, and Harvard Law School, where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review, Jackson graduated from Palmetto Senior High School in Florida’s Miami-Dade County, where she grew up.

Jackson is close to her parents, Johnny and Ellery Brown

Newsom’s Gas Relief Plan Would Send Over $9 Billion in Direct Payments to Californians

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed an $11 billion relief package to assist Californians struggling with the skyrocketing costs of gas, food and other commodities.

The plan includes a mix of direct payments to individuals; suspension of public transportation fares tax rebates; and support for state, county and municipal programs that align with the governor’s goal to make California a zero-emissions state by 2035.

The State will provide about $9 billion in funding to cover $400 direct payments to car owners whose vehicles are registered in the state — with a limit of two rebates per person.

The payments will be sent to car owners on debit cards.

“We’re taking immediate action to get money directly into the pockets of Californians who are facing higher gas prices as a direct result of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,” said Newsom.

“But this package is also focused on protecting people from volatile gas prices and advancing clean transportation — providing three months of free public transportation, fasttracking electric vehicle incentives and charging stations, and new funding for local biking and walking projects,” he added.

The plan includes nearly $500 million in funding for clean transportation alternatives and supporting pedestrian and bicycle-rider safety programs.

Shortly after Newsom announced his plan, Republicans slammed it, calling it “out of touch,” pointing out oversights and explaining why they think their proposal is better.

Last week, California Assembly Republicans introduced legislation that would temporarily suspend the state’s 51-cent-per-gallon gas tax.

Democrats unanimously voted against the bill 40-18, arguing that, if the legislation passed, funding would be taken away from important transportation

projects without a guarantee from gas stations that they would lower prices.

“You can’t make this stuff up,” tweeted Assembly Republican leader James Gallagher, whose district includes Yuba County and other Sacramento Valley counties, including all of Glenn and Tehama and parts of Butte and Colusa.

“I’m losing count…is this now the 5th plan from Capitol Democrats in the past couple of weeks? Why not take #50centsoffnow?” Gallagher’s tweet continued.

Gallagher also found fault with the governor’s plan for providing relief to people who own electric vehicles and leaving out military personnel who live and serve in California but whose cars may not be registered in the state.

California has the highest number of active-duty military personnel in the country.

Assemblymember Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) said, “Corrupt politicians will always prefer ‘rebates’ to actual tax relief because that keeps them in charge of who gets the money and when it’s delivered.”

Kiley, who refers to Assembly Democrats as “the Supermajority,” said the Republican proposal to cut the gas tax “entirely” wouldn’t cost the state “any loss of funding for roads.”

“That money would be backfilled from the state’s general fund, and we are said to have a $45 billion — maybe as high as $60 billion surplus right now,” Kiley told “The Issue Is,” a Fox 11 Los Angeles news show that covers “the most controversial and interesting issues impacting California.”

Newsom says his plan, which could go into effect by July after the state Assembly and Senate approve it, would bring relief to tens of millions of Californians.

“This direct relief is on top of the $10-plus billion we have distributed over the last year with the Golden State Stimulus,” said Newsom. “All told, close to $20 billion in direct tax relief here in the state of California.”

Jackson is married to surgeon Patrick Graves Jackson, who she met in college. The couple has two daughters. One of them, attending her mom’s hearings last week, was captured in photos watching the proceedings in rapt attention, beaming with pride.

“We know that progress

doesn’t come easily. Breaking barriers and being the first means not just significant opportunity, but also tremendous responsibility,” said Padilla in his opening statement last week when the hearings began.

“But Judge Jackson, I also know that you are equipped with a tremendous record of experience and accomplishment, and you are ready to blaze this trail,” Padilla continued. “Judge Jackson, even before your next opinion or dissent, your appearance before us today already begins a new chapter in our nation’s history.”

THE POST, March 30 - April 5, 2022, Page 6

Oakland Seeks More Community Chaplains; New Classes to Start in June Two weeks ago, the Pastors of Oakland completed training of 11 Community Chaplains to assist the Oakland Police Department in helping families in the first throes of trauma after life-changing incidents ranging from car accidents to assault and battery, domestic violence and sudden, tragic death.

Pastors of Oakland President Phyllis Scott and OPD Chief LeRonne Armstrong are hoping to have 30 community chaplains by the end of the year.

New classes are scheduled to start in June. For more information on how to become a volunteer chaplain, please call Pastor Phyllis Scott at (510) 688-7437 or send an e-mail to tolemsecretary@gmail.com.

Below, in their own words, the new graduates share their reasons for becoming community chaplains: Christin Dale, Esq. I am a California-based attorney. My reasons to pursue Pastor Phyllis Scott’s chaplaincy training are three-fold. My first reason stems from my childhood. I grew up in a predominantly African American neighborhood in Davenport, Iowa. My neighborhood was a low-income, high crime area. Like many of my neighbors, I regularly attended the local church where its community gave me an incredible sense of inclusion, support, and sense of belonging to something greater than myself. When I moved to the East Bay, I felt a similar sense of community.

My second reason for pursuing the chaplaincy program is service. I have been gifted with the tools to serve this commu-

Christin Dale, Esq.

nity, both as a chaplain and an attorney. As a lawyer, I assist those overcoming various legal challenges. As a chaplain, I help those who are forced to deal with overwhelming trauma while making an effort to prevent others from enduring such pain. In both of these capacities, I provide my services to those I feel most connected to and identify with, the marginalized Oakland community.

Finally, I believe in Pastor Scott’s vision of hope for advancing and healing the Oakland community. Pastor Scott has made it her mission to uplift Oakland, to be on the front lines in responding to violent crimes so the community knows there are people offering support and actively taking steps to prevent violent crimes from reoccurring, not just from one day to the next but from one generation to the next. Pastor Scott’s chaplaincy program couldn’t come soon enough for Oakland. I couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity to serve and promote this vision for the people of Oakland.

Rev. Antoné Hicks I became an Oakland Chaplain because I want to serve the

Oakland community. I was born and raised in Oakland and currently serve as a City of Oakland employee.

Violence was prevalent in the neighborhood where I grew up and resources were scarce. I know firsthand some of the difficulties families face in their daily lives. I also know firsthand the community bond that exists in Oakland. I am forever grateful for the people in my community who shared their time, love, and resources with me. I want to be a resource for someone else in need.

Serving as an Oakland Community Chaplain allows me the opportunity to be present for people who need help and might not know how to ask or don’t believe they are worthy of receiving. When I was struggling, I didn’t know how to ask for help, but members of my community saw my need and helped me.

Lastly, I want to share my faith by way of service. I want to fellowship with my community not just in the good times but in the difficult times as well.

It is my honor and privilege to serve as an Oakland Community Chaplain.

bullet in her arm, a woman who was not given a fair opportunity to succeed in a new world that she did not choose, and yet, she continuously learned how to adapt and survive.

Through her persistence, she ensured that all of her children were given all the opportunities that she was never afforded.

That persistence is why I am able to be here today standing

up for those without a voice.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Nomination Signals a Special Moment in U.S. History Continued from page 1

voice of a mother conveying the personal, collective, and spiritual importance of struggle, endurance, and faith.

Written by a Black man, the poem reveals the struggles that a Black woman has to endure while climbing toward a higher goal.

No doubt, the splinters and tacks that describe the torn-up boards of this ‘stair,’ are racism, classism, and sexism. No doubt these boards have arrows that attack the integrity of the individual when certain Senate panel members attempt to weaponize Jackson’s record by implying that there was “dark money” behind Jackson’s nomination.

Dark money is secret, undisclosed funding that can be used to “buy” favoritism without the source of money being revealed.

Still another senator, Marsha Blackburn, fiercely attacked Jackson by saying she has a hidden agenda for wanting to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

Although Jackson has been previously vetted three times, no political weapon aimed at her has penetrated her impeccable record.

Jackson said “While I am on the subject of gratitude,

I must also pause to reaffirm my thanks to God, for it is faith that sustains me at this moment.”

In those three words “at this moment,” Jackson illustrated the theological term kairos.

Without doubt, God has an interest in this process, and I firmly believe that Jackson’s nomination and imminent confirmation is in the hands of God. God’s timing is situational, part of a journey that God has established, and which will come to fruition at an exact moment when the old structure is interrupted with a new event.

God fixes the time in minutes and seconds and only God has total control. Biden and others are mere instruments as agents of a change that has been preordained. The Senate confirms and the president seals the confirmation by speaking it into existence.

Kairos, a Greek term for ‘time’ signifies a special, critical point in human history when God’s will and purposes are carried out.

In this last decade, we have been witnesses to three major historical events where African Americans were elevated; Barack Hussein Obama, (African name) became the first

Black man to be elected twice to serve as president of the United States. Kamala Harris is first Black/Indian woman elected vice president of the United States, and now Ketanji Brown Jackson is on the verge of being confirmed the first Black, female U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

The connection of African names is no accident, or coincidence; God is reminding us of the power of Africa. Jackson’s opening remarks for her confirmation hearing ended with these words: “to inspire future generations and to ensure liberty and justice for all.”

In final consideration, God uses generations to run this race as if it were a relay. Each generation passes the baton to the next. Jackson said she stands on the shoulders of the Honorable Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman to become a federal judge.

Though we all shall decrease, the next generation of little girls will increase, and they’re going to stand on my shoulders, your shoulders. Finally, let us run this race with patience, perseverance, and faith. What we don’t finish, someone else will.

Rep. Barbara Lee Speaks at U.N. Commemoration Of Abolition of Slavery, Transatlantic Slave Trade Continued from page 1

unique honor of addressing you on this important occasion as both a Member of Congress and one of this year’s United States Congressional Delegates to the United Nations General Assembly.

As we commemorate the abolition of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, let us reflect on the profound words of self-emancipated enslaved person, abolitionist, orator, global luminary, and diplomat, Frederick Douglass.

“Abolition of slavery,” he said, “had been the deepest desire and great labor of my life.”

These words prompt our remembrance of the victims and descendants of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade.

“The transatlantic slave trade forced millions of people from their homes, families, societies, and countries, and subjected them to exploitation and dehumanization, creating a global enterprise of unparalleled wealth for Western nations and fueling the global economy. Chattel slavery remains an immoral and indelible stain on the history of the United States, the Western hemisphere, and the collective chronicle of our inhumanity.

“We acknowledge the myriad atrocities of slavery, and continue to grapple with the racial, ethnic, gender, economic, social, and political hierarchies it created. And yes, we must honor the victims of slavery by dismantling its institutional remnants, such as racism, discrimination, economic inequity, marginalization, and systematic underdevelopment.

“The United States must address the multidimensional legacies of slavery through an unprecedented commitment to racial equity, justice, and in-

clusion within our borders and throughout our global affairs.

“We have demonstrated our commitment nationally through a government-wide approach to addressing systemic inequity. Today, the President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, will sign the Emmett Till Antilynching Act of 2022, recently passed by the United States Congress.

“It has been over 120 years since Congress’ first attempt to criminalize the horrendous act of lynching and yes, today, it will be finally made a federal hate crime.

“Members of both House and Senate have supported legislation that acknowledges and address the remnants of our racialized past stemming from the institution of chattel slavery.

“Legislation like H. Con. Res. 19, urging the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation; H.R. 40, a Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals

for African Americans; and H.R. 1280, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act are all examples of how Congress is grappling with the need for systemic change and redress.

“And last year, President Biden signed into law, making Juneteenth — that’s June 19th — a national holiday. It was on this day in 1865, that Union soldiers arrived in Texas to announce that Black people were free. Now, this was two-anda-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This announcement was made in Galveston, Texas, which is the home of my grandfather and my great-grandmother.

“Now on the global stage, we championed the establishment of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent and supported the International Independent Expert Mechanism to Advance Racial Justice and Equality in Law Enforcement.

BART’s Projected Fiscal Cliff Extended to Mid-2025 After Latest Allocation of Federal Relief Funds

By Eli Walsh, Bay City News Foundation

BART will be able to maintain its current service level through at least mid-2025 due to federal emergency funds, even if its ridership remains flat, according to the transit agency’s budget officials.

While the transit agency’s long-term financial outlook remains bleak, on March 25 BART budget officials said that a recent allocation of $271 million in federal relief funding will push the agency’s projected fiscal cliff from mid2024 to September 2025.

BART has received some $1.5 billion in federal relief funds since the COVID-19 pandemic began. BART budget officials said last month that the agency was using

roughly $25 million per month from that relief funding pool to maintain its current operating schedule and staff size.

“Though this one-time funding will not solve our long-

term ongoing financial deficit...we do want to emphasize how grateful we are for this continued and necessary financial support,” BART Budget Director Chris Simi told the

agency’s Board of Directors.

While BART’s weekend ridership has begun to reach half of its pre-pandemic levels, weekday ridership has continued to hover around 30-35% as Bay Area residents continue working remotely, impacting the agency’s fare revenue.

BART officials project ridership to return to just 70% of its pre-pandemic levels by the 2026-2027 fiscal year.

As a result, the agency is projected to face annual deficits ranging between $112 million and $174 million at the end of the decade and at the start of the 2030s.

“A $112 million deficit in (fiscal year 2026) cannot be closed without some form of service cuts or impacts to our capital program,” Simi said.

“It’s simply too high a percentage of our budget to trim back.”

Simi said the agency intends to reduce its projected deficits for the 2026 fiscal year and beyond by roughly $23 million per year via targeted spending reductions and potential revenue increases, although where that revenue may come from remains up in the air.

BART officials said last month they have begun the exploratory phase of putting a revenue-generating ballot measure in front of voters in the coming years, most likely in November 2024.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission has also considered a funding measure that would support transit agencies in all nine Bay Area counties.

BART officials also plan to move to a two-year budget process in response to the financial instability, arguing that

presenting a two-year budget outlook each year will enable the board to make better financial decisions.

Board Director Rebecca Saltzman said she hopes the agency can expand service during “off-peak” hours in its upcoming budget for the 20222023 fiscal year, citing that the return of weekend ridership has outpaced weekdays.

“I’ve gotten a lot of constituent complaints about this — people trying to get to the airport, people trying to get to an event and they’re just finding that the service isn’t enough and they feel like they don’t want to take BART on weekends or at night,” she said.

BART budget officials are expected to issue their preliminary budget memo for the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years this week.

Biden Proposes $200M for Healing Domestic Violence: Silicon Valley BART Project “It Has to Be Heart Stuff’

By Bay City News

President Joe Biden has earmarked an additional $200 million for the Silicon Valley BART Extension Phase II in his upcoming proposed budget, a spokesperson for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority announced on Monday.

The project will extend BART alignment from the North San Jose Berryessa station through Downtown San Jose to Santa Clara, adding four more stations and six

more miles of track, the agency said.

This will be the third allocation of funds for the project after the Federal Transit Authority authorized $125 million in 2019 and another $100 million in 2021.

Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, praised the announcement Monday.

“We know that traffic will only get worse throughout Cal-

ifornia, particularly in Los Angeles and the Bay Area,” she said in a statement. “We also know that removing cars from our roads is one of the best ways to reduce carbon emissions. By funding these two projects, we’re helping reduce traffic, lower emissions and broaden economic opportunity for residents.”

Phase II is estimated to carry 54,600 passengers each weekday to destinations throughout the Bay Area by 2040, according to the VTA announcement.

bringing up Biblical figures like Jesus as examples.

“They had done self-mastery, and they had learned universal law. And they knew how to walk in the world so they could be creative energies,” she said.

She recalled a course she took offered by Dr. Ishmael Tetteh, a spiritual teacher from Ghana, on “soul processing.”

Students were asked to make a timeline of their entire lives.

Tetteh labeled the painful parts of their lives as “cud,” which is partially digested food that a cow continues to chew on.

“Those painful experiences are like cud in our spirit, and we continue to chew on them.

And, he said, the goal of this life/soul processing is to break apart those cud patches and then redefine them in a way that serves you,” Wilson said.

She said as Black people in America, “all of us have trauma” that needs to be unpacked.

Another solution she proposed was to create spaces that are culturally authentic where Black people can heal together.

But she said the first step is unpacking the pain that fuels the violence.

“Oftentimes that means you have to move people away from each other so that they can do their own healing,” she said, because “it’s hard to heal with people who have harmed you.”

Necessary infrastructure to her means access to safe houses and community-based intervention.

“If it’s a mom and kids, where do we put them while we work out the situation? And with the man who’s doing it, how do we get them into a situation where they can do some anger management rather than criminalize everything?” she questioned.

When Wilson experienced domestic violence, a woman she had been close to helped her out.

“She talked to me and she was the person who made space for my healing. She let me stay with her for a while.

And so, fast-forward, years go by, I get my act together. And I think about her, and I go back to her and I’m like, ‘I don’t know how to thank you for what you did for me,’” Wilson recalled.

“And she was like, ‘Girl, what you don’t get is that it’s not even about me.’ She’s like, ‘The only reason that I am here to do this for you is because there was some woman who did it for me.’ And she said, ‘So you don’t owe me anything.’

She said, “What you owe is you got to step up and do it for someone else when you see a need.’”

Wilson says she lives her life trying to hold true to that advice.

“And I think we have to proceed with that kind of heart in order to really heal people. It can’t just be tactical stuff. It has to be human stuff. It has to be heart stuff,” she said.

been filed by ROGER FOX in the Superior Court of California, County of ALAMEDA. The Petition for Probate requests that ROGER FOX be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on APRIL 25, 2022 at 2:00 P.M. in Dept. 201 Room N/A located at 2120 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAY, BERKELEY, CA 94704.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account

as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 663 GRIZZLY PEAK BOULEVARD, BERKELEY, CA 94708 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to 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 $804,267.07 (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 www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000449-17-2.

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 CA08000449-17-2 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.

The Eagle Rock project Project would contribute significantly to local air pollution, would significantly increase carbon emissions, noise, and the level of particulate matter and diesel exhaust in West water pollution.

“Our common goal can be to reduce emissions at the Port, for example by switching to zero-emission electric trucks and equipment.”

vironmental review, the Port Commission has abandoned its obligation to protect our public interests in the shoreline and our air.”

Port officials were notified by the California Attorney General’s Office, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and the California Air Resources Board that the environmental studies for this project are fatally flawed. Nevertheless, the Port’s decision has been to move ahead with the project.

In 2017, WOEIP brought a complaint under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act against the Port for its longstanding pattern of environmentally racist practices. In response, the Port implemented a Public Engagement Plan designed to build communication and trust between the community and the Port. However, although community groups engage in ongoing discussions with the Port, they claim their input has not led to any meaningful change in the Port’s operations.

“The Port’s actions are those of a bad neighbor,” said Gordon. “The people of West Oakland should not have to go to court to protect their health. If the Port wanted to be a responsible neighbor, they would try to mitigate the public health impacts of this project. Instead, they have left us with no other option than to fight a legal battle to protect the public health of the people in our community.”

After a first vote failed, the California Task Force to Study and Develop Reparations Proposals for African Americans decided that lineage will determine who will be eligible for reparations.

During the first session of the eighth, two-day meeting, five members of the task force voted in favor of lineage over race as the determining factor for compensation. Four members said no 90 minutes after the first vote failed.

The measure needed a twothirds majority of the task force’s votes for ratification.

“The Ayes have it and the motion carries,” task force chairperson Kamilah Moore said following the vote. “So, the community eligibility will be based on lineage determined by an individual being African American, the descendant of a (person enslaved as chattel) or descendant of a freeBlack person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century.”

Task Force members Moore, vice-chair Amos Brown, pastor of Third Baptist Church in San Francisco, and president of his local NAACP branch; University of California-Berkeley professor Jovan Scott Lewis; and San Diego City Councilwoman Monica Montgomery-Steppe voted in favor of the lineage qualifier.

Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) broke the tie. He abstained from the process during the first round of voting, which ended up with four in favor, three against lineage, and two abstentions, the other being attorney Don Tamaki.

Tamaki, Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles), Los Angeles-based attorney Lisa Holder, and LoyolaMarymount professor Cheryl Grills, voted in favor of race.

In February, the Task Force voted 5-4 to postpone the vote on whether race or lineage would be the determinant to have more time to listen to experts and weigh the requirements.

During the March 29 meeting, members listened to 11 genealogy experts’ perspectives and insights on the eligibility considerations before the vote.

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, who authored the legislation establishing the task force, Assembly Bill (AB) 3121 in 2020 while serving in the Assembly, presented to the panel in January. She argued that compensation should be limited to African Americans who are de-

www.norcal-ncnw.org

scendants of Africans enslaved in the United States.

“Reparations are designed to repair and heal the damages done to Africans for 400 years who (suffered) through Jim Crow (laws),” Weber said in January.

“Reparations are for those who are descendants of slavery. Their ties are permanently severed from their homeland and their ability to return to Africa is almost impossible. We are truly Americans.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 3121 into law in 2020. The task force is charged with study-

ing slavery and its lingering effects on African Americans with a “special consideration” for descendants of persons enslaved in the United States, the bill language instructs.

AB 3121 also requires members to recommend what compensation should be, who should receive it, and how it should be paid. A panel of economists contracted by the task force will give their input on the financial aspects of compensation and impacts.

ibility of these historic coins.

Recognizes the significance of the American Women Quarters (AWQ) Program to the communities we serve, the collective is acting to make sure communities are aware of these significant coins and that they are readily available at local financial institutions.

Included in the collective are: the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce; the Women’s Council of Associated Real Property Brokers; the Oakland Chapter of the NAACP; Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA); the International Longshore Warehouse Union, Local 10; the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, National Black MBA Association; 100 Black Men of the Bay Area and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. Oakland/Bay Area Chapter.

The U.S. Mint has begun shipments of the first coins in the AWQ)Program, starting with the one honoring the late

writer, Maya Angelou.

Authorized by the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, the U.S.Mint implemented the new fouryear program after the law was signed into law last year. The bipartisan legislation was introduced by Congresswoman Barbara Lee along with Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH) and Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Deb Fischer (R-NE).

Maya Angelou’s writing and activism inspired countless Americans and her legacy helped fuel greater fairness and understanding across our nation.

This coin will ensure generations of Americans learn about Maya Angelou’s books and poetry that spoke to the lived experience of Black women. Coin and currency document history, but to date, the contributions of many women have been disregarded. Circulating coins dedicated to celebrating American women and their contributions to American history is important and must be underscored.

Judiciary Committee Hearings Enough; Ketanji Brown Jackson Should Be on the Supreme Court

By Emil Guillermo

Watching four days of the Judiciary Committee Hearings on Ketanji Brown Jackson, I discovered we shared a few things.

We were both debaters in high school. And we both did OO (Original Oratory) in the NFL. Football? No, National Forensics League. We both went to Harvard, too, though I was there 15 years earlier.

On the first day of the hearings, I was struck by the introduction given by one of her college roommates, Lisa Fairfax, now a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

Fairfax talked about meeting Jackson in her freshman year.

“Those first moments when you wonder if you belong,” Fairfax said. “She’s the friend that made sure we all did.”

Fairfax went on: “She was the role model who makes you believe in what she said,

Opinion

Ketanji Brown Jackson ‘You can do it and here’s how.’

And she showed us how, by the power of her example of hard work, preparation and excellence that transforms the seemingly impossible into the achievable.”

I wish I had that kind of college friend in my time in Cambridge. When I needed a pep talk, the best I got was, “Come on, Emil, let’s get a pizza.”

On Day 3 of the hearings, Jackson called herself, “a Black

justification, prompting many residents to believe that their objection is really based on not wanting to have a baseball park in a Black neighborhood.

The A’s have set their sights on Howard Terminal, located in West Oakland’s industrial zone, and the heart of the Port of Oakland. Many critics complain that building at Howard Terminal would threaten the viability of the Port of Oakland, and goodpaying union jobs.

These complaints were validated when the Seaport Planning Advisory Committee (SPAC) — a committee of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) — said that it was inappropriate to transition lands that are essential for maritime purposes to private use. To support their position, they stated that under the law, if maritime property is needed for current or future maritime use, it cannot be transferred to private non-maritime use.

As well, the International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union (ILWU), Oakland’s largely Black union at the port, convened a work stoppage to protest giving valuable port land to the A’s because it could lead to the loss of hundreds of union jobs, and disrupt port activities at a time where the entire nation is reeling from supply chain issues.

Nobody wants to lose the A’s, but Oakland taxpayers are still smarting from the $200 million debt they will be paying until 2026 for Oakland Coliseum renovations in the 1990s, when Oakland lured the Raiders back from Los Angeles.

When the Raiders asked the city to close a $400 million funding gap for additional renovations at the Coliseum in 2015, Mayor Libby Schaaf said no way. In 2015, she told SFGate “we could spend (that money) on police, parks and libraries”.

Oakland’s need to address citywide problems is even more dire now than it was seven years ago. How then, can the city consider spending twice as much public money today than was unthinkable seven years ago?

This is one of the most divisive issues Oakland will face. It puts the needs of the city against the desires of a wealthy busi-

woman [and]lucky inheritor of the civil rights dream.”

With humility, she sounded like she understood the journey all people of color are on.

“I do consider myself having been born in 1970 to be the first generation to benefit from the Civil Rights Movement,” Jackson said. “From the legacy of all of the work of so many people that went into changing the laws of this country so that people like me could have an opportunity to be sitting here before you today.”

That was said before more of the onslaught from Senators Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley, Republicans all.

And if you watched it all like I did, you felt the impact of each attack.

So, when Democratic Sen. Cory Booker took his turn on Day 3, he provided reassuring comfort.

“You have earned this spot,” he said to Jackson, perhaps to

help to ward off any self-doubt or a sense of “imposter syndrome” thoughts that may be lurking. “You are worthy. You are a great American.”

Booker was just warming up. As one of the last five senators to question Jackson, he was bringing it home. And it worked. Because I found I could totally relate to Jackson.

If you have experienced even the most minor transgression because of race in America, you know. Did you see yourself as she sat in the committee chamber? I did.

“There is a love in this country that is extraordinary,” Booker said to Jackson. Booker then referenced the racial segregation laws affecting Jackson’s family, as well as the laws that would have prevented her own marriage to a white man.

nessman to build luxury housing and a baseball field at a location that will hurt workers and the Port.

Councilmember Noel Gallo is also concerned about the cost and impact of the proposed project to the city and its residents. On March 24, he introduced legislation to require the A’s to provide the City Council with a full and complete economic analysis of the benefits and risks associated with the project. He insisted that this analysis be presented at a public City Council meeting, so the information will be available to all Oakland residents.

We think that Councilmembers Fife’s and Gallo’s proposals are complementary. Every member of the Council should support Councilmember Fife’s call to let the voters decide whether to use public funds to help build the baseball stadium and luxury condominiums at Howard Terminal. They should also support Councilmember Gallo’s legislation requesting a full and complete publicly disclosed economic analysis.

Some opponents argue that this is too complex an issue for the voters to consider. That is wrong for many reasons, but the two most important are these.

Oakland voters have considered and voted on major financial issues in many elections. More importantly, if the voters are smart enough to elect a mayor and City Council members, they are smart enough to evaluate whether it is appropriate to spend public funds on a billionaire’s folly when the city has so many other needs.

We urge the voters of Oakland to demand that the City Council place the question of whether to spend public funds on baseball and luxury housing before the voters on the November 2022 ballot.

We also urge the City Council to schedule a public meeting for a full and complete economic analysis of the benefits and risks of the project to the city. If the City Council refuses to do so, the voters should assess whether people running for office, who refuse to let the voters vote, should be elected.

Thank you, Councilmembers Fife and Gallo, for bringing these issues to the attention of the voters.

Let the voter’s vote.

Burglary at Offices of OCCUR Longtime Community Organization

By Post Staff

For the first time in OCCUR’s 65 years in operation, its offices were burglarized on Wednesday March 23, 2022.

That morning Post News Group employee Brenda Hudson alerted OCCUR’s Executive Director Sondra Alexander that a burglary had taken place at the OCCUR office.

When Alexander arrived at the office, the floors, normally clutter-free, were strewn with paper. Her desk drawer and those of associates were pulled out, and their contents rifled through.

Besides OCCUR, the Post News Group offices, which are located in the same building were also burglarized and vandalized.

Reports from both organizations were filed with the Oakland Police Department, which is still investigating the crimes. “There was this moment of sheer disbelief,” said Alexander upon discovering the break-in. “And then a variety of emotions ranging from confusion, fear, and tremendous anger

that our personal and professional spaces and property had been invaded and violated,” she said. “Why would anyone want to do this?”

OCCUR’s Enduring Relevance Alexander’s questions are especially poignant in light of OCCUR’s objectives and relevance in Oakland for decades. Founded to provide economic opportunities for low-income people of color in Oakland, the organization has continuously implemented programs that have made profound enhancements to neighborhoods in

most need.

The David E. Glover Emerging Technology Center located in East Oakland is a perfect example.

The facility is an extensive technological training center for residents of all ages.

Founded in 1987, the Center makes it possible for anyone seeking knowledge to be trained in computer skills and receive early-stage access to coding, artificial intelligence, programming, and other marketable skills.

It is crucial that Oakland’s most marginalized residents acquire these skills to compete and succeed.

“With the ramping up of our capacity-building programs, OCCUR is not letting the burglary derail us,” said Charla Montgomery, OCCUR’s program consultant. “Now more than ever, it is important that OCCUR reaches as many communities as possible and all those committed to positive change throughout the Bay Area.”

Despite Oakland’s everchanging demographics, which is vividly apparent in dwindling Black residency

and homeownership, school closures, and an unprecedented homelessness crisis OCCUR remains committed.

Organizational and neighborhood leaders across the city and the greater Bay Area know how vital OCCUR has been and continues to be for marginalized communities.

Whether it be the minigrant program for Oakland small businesses, or the capacity building/development resources for nonprofits and faith-based organizations, OCCUR has been an ever-present stalwart supporter.

Today, Alexander and the entire OCCUR team are focusing on doing what they and their predecessors started 65 years ago: That is being a catalyst for bringing together neighborhood residents, merchants, and government to strengthen the economic development potential of emerging communities.

With the shock of the burglary also comes a determination to continue and to carry on, and OCCUR looks forward to providing the

We Must Act Now to Avoid an Eviction Crisis

By Nate Miley

Mask mandates have been lifted, in-person events have begun to return, and national unemployment has rebounded significantly. No one can predict the future. But we can see that Gov. Gavin Newsom and local health officials are beginning to plan for the next stage of living with COVID-19.

Here in Alameda County, we are confronted by the daily reality that in addition to the COVID-19 crisis, we are also amid a housing crisis — and facing a daunting cliff.

In August 2020, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors extended the COVID-19 eviction moratorium to allow residents to shelter-in-place, regardless of income status, during the crisis.

From the very beginning, I abstained from supporting this ordinance in favor of a voucher system which I felt would prevent situations where tenants and landlords are now pitted against each other. The ordinance prohibits almost all evictions in the County and allows tenants 12 months to repay back rent.

This moratorium was intended to limit the impacts on low-income renters and prevent thousands of residents from falling into homelessness.

This ordinance is tied to the local health emergency. When the Alameda County Health Care state of emergency is lifted it will trigger the expiration of the moratorium on evictions in 60 days.

Whether that time comes sooner or later, we need to be ready. The question we must ask is what do we do next?

Now we must act to avoid a wave of evictions of low-income tenants when the moratorium comes to an end. We also know that property owners have struggled to meet mortgage and property tax demands on rental properties and wrestled against foreclosing institutions.

We need to act now to help people remain housed and keep rental properties in Alameda County.

I call on my fellow Supervisors to join me in pursuing these main approaches.

First, is to urge the Federal government to provide additional resources to support renters and

property owners. The pandemic isn’t over and the need in Alameda County remains great.

Alameda County’s rental assistance fund has received over 12,000 applications requesting over $200 million in aid. We should identify new ways, including a voucher system, to ensure that the funds flow directly to those who need the help most.

Second, is to prepare our local courts to be flooded with cases.

We must seek additional funding from the State to allow for eviction proceedings to move forward when needed.

Cases have been brought to my office’s attention where seniors rent out a room in their homes and now fear for their health and safety at the hands of their tenant — or small property owners who face financial ruin. Currently, the courts have no capacity to hear these urgent requests.

My office has received numerous complaints from property owners renting to individuals fully capable of paying rent, who have refused to do so. This gives tenants a bad name. Pandemic protections were enacted to support the most vulnerable residents in our community who were struggling. Tenants who CAN pay rent and are withholding it are taking advantage of — and putting — at risk these very protections.

I think it is essential for all stakeholders to work on these solutions and seek additional ones. I am more than willing to facilitate those discussions.

Together, we can ensure that those who can pay rent, pay their rent. And those who can’t, especially the extremely low-income, get the help they need to avoid an eviction crisis.

Capt. Fred ‘Freddie’ Bobbitt Continued from page 1

Bobbitt passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 21, 2022, and was honored by the Fremont Police Department, elected officials, and the community during a 2,000-person Memorial Service, along with a 4-mile-long law enforcement funeral procession.

Bobbitt’s family members said that in September 2020, Danaj attempted to use his position to force Bobbitt out of the Fremont Police Department in retaliation for Bobbitt’s calls to investigate Danaj for corruption.

On April 26, 2021, at a Town Hall meeting held by Bobbitt’s supporters to prevent Bobbitt from being forced out, it was revealed that Danaj had been cited for a domestic incident earlier that month.

On Sept. 15, 2021, Danaj was arrested in San Francisco and cited again in a separate domestic violence incident.

On Sept. 30, 2021, Danaj abruptly resigned as Fremont City Manager. Many believe that the Fremont City Council may have forced Danaj out after being informed of his numerous criminal incidents, as well as the mounting pressure from Bobbitt’s supporters to investigate Danaj for misusing his position.

In a new set of criminal charges, Danaj was arraigned on March 9, 2022, charged with Felony Embezzlement 504 PC, and Felony Misap-

propriation of Public Funds 424 PC. During Danaj’s tenure in Fremont, Bobbitt had challenged Danaj on his mischaracterization of the Police Department and the police union, which some have alleged to have been among the issues that led to the two-year conflict between the two city officials.

In February 2022, the Fremont City Council received a briefing on a binding arbitration decision that ruled in Bobbitt’s favor, which clearly established that Danaj and others had retaliated against Bobbitt.

In September of 2020, Danaj had attempted to push Bobbitt to resign by offering him his full pension, plus a cash payout of approximately $99,900, which is slightly under the $100,000 limit that would have required the City Council’s approval.

After Bobbitt refused to resign, Danaj had Bobbitt removed as the Commander of Patrol, reassigned him to the Animal Shelter, and placed him on a Performance Improvement Plan. The binding arbitration ruling required the City to reinstate Bobbitt as Commander of Patrol and invalidate the Performance Improvement Plan.
