Three Lawsuits Challenge City of Oakland, A’s Over Proposed Real Estate Project at Port of Oakland By Ken Epstein

So far, three lawsuits have already been filed challenging efforts by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and John Fisher of the Oakland A’s to move full-steam ahead to win final approval for building a massive $12 billion private real estate project on public land at Howard Terminal at the Port of Oakland. Two lawsuits were filed on Friday, April 1. Observers say more lawsuits may be forth-

coming as those who are opposed to the project or have concerns about how the giveaway of public property and public funding are unfolding as Schaaf and the A’s corporation move forward while ignoring or marginalizing the concerns of port-related businesses and longshore workers, city residents and environmentalists. Ignoring hundreds of written concerns and many public comments, the Oakland Planning Commissioners — all appointed by Schaaf — unani-

mously passed the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on the project. The project has also been approved by Port Commissioners who were also appointed by the mayor. One lawsuit, which says the EIR does not meet legal environmental requirements, was filed on behalf of the East Oakland Stadium Alliance; Schnitzer Steel, a metal shredding facility; Pacific Merchant Shipping Association; the Har-

Area Women Against Rape (BAWAR), which she left to accept employment in June 2020 as the city’s new deputy chief of Violence Prevention in the Department of Violence Prevention. City Administrator Ed Reiskin strongly disagreed with the allegations and defended his staff against criticism. Participating in the meeting, Crain said her termination was not based on performance and was related to her push for equitable compensation in the DVP. Crain’s written complaint, the first step in filing a lawsuit, was presented to the City Council and Administration in a March 25 letter from Crain’s attorneys. “It’s important to look into

the claims being made in this matter so we avoid perpetuating a practice of diminishing talented, experienced women, particularly women of color, in leadership positions. It is International Women’s History Month and gender-equity should be the bare minimum of what we aspire to at the City of Oakland,” said Councilmember Carroll Fife. Councilmember at-large Rebecca Kaplan said, “It is essential to end all acts of discrimination by this administration — and these allegations of misconduct and pay disparity — and alleged retaliation — warrant a direct response, investigation, and remedy.

profound theologian, professor, author, scholar and much more. The majority of this article will draw from Dr. Cone’s seminal work “The Cross and the Lynching Tree.” Cone said, “The cross and the lynching tree are separated by nearly 2,000 years…. Despite the obvious similarities between Jesus’s death on a cross and the death of thousands of black men and women strung up to die on a tree, relatively few people have explored the symbolic connections…Both the cross and the lynching tree were symbols of terror, instruments of torture and execution. “Both Jesus and Blacks were publicly humiliated,

subjected to the utmost indignity…paraded, mocked, beat and spat upon for crowd entertainment,” he wrote. Cone’s work is motivated by a central question: how to reconcile the gospel message of liberation with the reality of Black oppression which is exemplified in “Strange Fruit,” the song about lynching recorded by Billie Holiday. This is the time of year, when we hear a number of songs about the Cross, such as “Jesus Keep me Near the Cross,” “I Know It Was the Blood,” “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?”

Councilmembers Call for Investigation of Termination of Oakland Department of Violence Prevention Administrator By Ken Epstein Members of the Oakland City Council and others are expressing concerns over what appears to be the abrupt termination of Dr. Sarai Crain from her position as deputy chief of Violence Prevention for the City of Oakland and have called for an investigation of Crain’s allegations of gender discrimination and retaliation for demanding equitable compensation. The concerns were raised Monday, March 28 at the Public Safety and Services Violence Prevention Oversight Commission (SSOC). In the meeting, the Commission Chair stated that there had been no conversation with the

Dr. Sarai Crain SSOC about the elimination of this position and that this matter would have to go before the City Council as the Commission has no jurisdictional authority to impact the decision. Crain is a violence prevention expert and anti-genderbased violence advocate. She was executive director of Bay

The president and judge embraced as they watched the Senate’s historic vote confirming the first Black woman to the nation’s highest court.

President Joe Biden celebrated Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate confirmation to the Supreme Court with her on Thursday, with emotional photos showing the two embracing as they watched the historic vote together from the White House. The Senate confirmed Jackson to the Supreme Court in a 53-47 vote, making her the first Black woman and former public defender to serve on the nation’s highest court. Her position on the court will also mark the first time in the court’s history that the majority of justices will not be white men. Jackson was nominated by Biden, who vowed since his presidential campaign that he would choose a Black woman for a seat on the Supreme Court.

Palm Sunday, April 10, 2022, is the beginning of Passion Week, also known as Holy Week. It marks the final week of Jesus’s earthly ministry culminating with Jesus’s journey to the cross on Good Friday. When Jesus came to Earth, he knew that he came to die. The Cross was a divine assignment. The Cross was the place where the execution of Jesus took place, though he was innocent. The Cross became synonymous with Crucifixion.

Paul Revere Williams (18941980) was an African American architect noted for his mastery of a variety of styles and building types and for his influence on the architectural landscape of Southern California. In more than 3,000 buildings over the course of five decades, mostly in and around Los Angeles, he introduced a sense of casual elegance that came to define the region’s architecture. His work became so popular with Hollywood royalty that he was known as the “architect to the stars.” Williams, the second of two children, was born in 1894, shortly after his parents moved to Los Angeles from Memphis, Tenn. Both his parents died by the time he was four years old, and Williams was reared by a family friend while his brother lived with a different family. Because his foster mother quickly recognized his talent, Williams received a solid education and followed his dream to become an architect, though there were few African American architects at the time. His architectural aspirations remained uppermost in his thoughts. He attended the Los Angeles atelier of the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design (1913–16) and was certified as an architect in 1915. While attending a program for architectural engineering at the University of Southern California from 1916-1919, he took a series of low-paying jobs at several architectural firms to learn as much as he could. He learned about landscape

architecture while working with Wilbur D. Cook and got his first taste of designing on a palatial scale at the firm of Reginald D. Johnson. From 1920 to 1922, he worked for John C. Austin (with whom he later collaborated), turning his attention to designs for large public buildings. In 1921, Williams received a license to practice architecture in California and accepted his first commission from Louis Cass, a white, former high school classmate. A year later, at age 28, Williams founded his own business, Paul R. Williams and Associates, and in 1923 he became the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects. He later was licensed to practice in Wash., D.C. (1936), New York (1948), Tennessee (1960), and Nevada (1964). His designs for suburban and country estates incorporated Mediterranean, Spanish Revival, and English Tudor themes, a blend of styles that strongly appealed to California residents at mid-century.

elements, his houses were impeccably designed down to the smallest detail, and they were airy, sun-filled, and graceful. As Williams’ reputation grew, he received commissions to design houses for such Hollywood stars as Lon Chaney, Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, Bill (‘Bojangles’) Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall and Anthony Quinn. Among his many remarkable buildings are the opulent Saks Fifth Avenue building in Beverly Hills and the flying saucer–shaped Theme Building at the Los Angeles International Airport (as co-designer). He also oversaw additions to the Beverly Hills Hotel in the 1950s. In addition to stores, public housing, hotels, and restaurants, he designed showrooms, churches, and schools. After 1950, when Modernism and its most-predominant architectural manifestation, the International Style, began to hold sway, Williams was seen as an architect of traditional (that is, old-fashioned) designs. His gift for accommodating eclectic tastes while obeying sound design principles was seen as a drawback. But public taste eventually came full circle, and Williams-designed homes, especially, were again in demand in the early 21st century. Williams wrote a number of articles, notably “I Am a Negro” (1937) for The American Magazine, and two books, “The Small Home of Tomorrow” (1945) and “New Homes for Today” (1946). In 1953, he was awarded the NAACP Spingarn Medal. Many awards and honors followed, both during and after his lifetime.

Job growth was very strong last month nationally and may be equally as strong in the Bay Area when the numbers are released later this month, a labor economist said on April 1. The U.S. added 431,000 jobs in March, according to a report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with changes widespread among industries. The manufacturing sector added 38,000 jobs while leisure and hospitality added 112,000. Wage growth among all workers has also been strong, but inflation is stronger,

eating away purchasing power. Still, inflation offers a bit of a positive aspect. “It is a sign that demand is strong,” said Amar Mann, a supervisory economist with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Annual inflation is running at 7.9%, while wages grew at a 5.6%. That’s solid wage growth, Mann said, but shows that prices are growing faster than wages, Mann said. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, is at 6.4%, said economist Matt Insco, also with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Energy costs rose by 25.6% while gasoline alone is up 38%. U.S. President Joseph Biden authorized the release of millions of gallons of oil from the nation’s reserves to try to lower gas prices. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat and California representative, lauded her party’s efforts following the release of the job numbers. “The March jobs report shows that Democrats’ economic strategy continues to power a strong jobs recovery, with Americans coming off the sidelines and getting back to work,” Pelosi said in a statement. “Since President Biden took office, our nation has created 7.9 million new jobs - including nearly half a million manufacturing jobs - and slashed the unemployment rate to near pre-pandemic levels at 3.6 percent with the help of our American Rescue Plan,” Pelosi said. “At the same time American workers’ wages are on the rise, especially among lower wage earners.” Continued on page 9

Community Celebrates Lifetime Achievements of Former Berkeley Mayor Gus Newport By Ken Epstein

A large crowd turned out March 28, to pay tribute to Eugene “Gus” Newport, former Berkeley mayor and a grassroots leader with a long history of activism in the Civil Rights Movement and the struggle for human rights in the U.S. and globally that has continued up to the present. Newport’s friend and fellow activist, actor Danny Glover, hosted the event. Some of the speakers were in-person while others appeared live on a large monitor behind the stage at the Freight and Salvage. Among those who honored Newport were Angela Davis, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and singer Holly Near. Newport’s son, who was present, and his daughter who livestreamed from Atlanta, spoke lovingly of their father. His wife, Katherine Kasch, was also there. The event was a fundraiser for the Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA). Newport was a founding member of the alliance and served for years as chair of MECA’s board. MECA founder Barbara Lubin also spoke at the celebration. Newport, who is now in his mid-80s, was born in Rochester, N.Y. While living there, he was leader of the Monroe County Nonpartisan Political League, where he worked with Malcolm X to defend nine Black Muslims who were attacked and arrested during a worship service. Moving to New York City, he was mentored by Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell and Malcolm X, helping him found the Organization of African American Unity. Newport served as mayor of Berkeley from 1979 to 1986. He was one of the first U.S. mayors to ride in a Gay Free-

dom Day Parade in 1979. Under his leadership, Berkeley became the first city to divest from companies that supported apartheid in South Africa. More recently, he traveled around the country to support Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. Newport has supported human rights around the world and within the U.S. He: • Traveled to war zones in solidarity with the people of El Salvador; • Worked for Palestinian liberation; • Headed the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative in Boston, creating a national model for a neighborhood run “by and for the people;” • Helped oversee the rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina; • Mentored young activists; • Served on the faculty of UC Berkeley, MIT and Yale; • Serves on the National Council of Elders, an organization of key social justice activists over 65; • Received the 2019 Khalil Gibran Spirit of Humanity Award from the Arab American Institute Foundation.

Last week, a gripping photograph of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing splashed television screens and social media feeds alike. The photograph shows Jackson’s daughter, Leila, gazing admiringly at her mother with a beaming smile as Jackson gave remarks at one of her confirmation hearings last week. The photograph was quickly dubbed “iconic” by social media users and news organizations alike. The woman behind the camera happened to be an Oakland native, Sarahbeth Maney. Maney, a 2019 graduate of San Francisco State University, is currently a photography fellow at the New York Times covering politics in Washington, DC. Her previous work has appeared in The Washington Post, TIME Magazine, CNN, and other major news organizations. Most recently, Maney received grant funding from the Pulitzer Center to document a story about pregnancy and housing insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, she’s receiving national media attention for her latest work on the Jackson hearings. Maney, who is Black and Latinx, earned a bachelor’s in photojournalism from SFSU. while in school, she interned at local Bay Area news organizations the San Francisco Chronicle and the S.F. Examiner. Her personal photography work focuses on education, disability, and other issues impacting Black and brown communities, accord-

ing to her website. She has documented stories including the Black Lives Matter Movement in the Bay Area, the case of Nia Wilson, the 18-year-old Black teenager who was fatally stabbed on BART in 2019, and California wildfires. As a journalist, Maney says, she aims “to further representation within the industry and portray each story as honestly as it exists.” And that’s exactly what she did when she captured her shining photo of Leila Jackson. “Whenever I’m making photographs, I look for things that make me feel something,” Maney told KQED in a recent interview. “I have this thing that, I don’t shoot what it looks like, I shoot what it feels like. And so that’s what

I went in with the goal of doing.” Maney went on to describe how the photo came about. From the top of the steps on the side of the room, she said, “I had a really good view of the family members sitting in the front row. And during that time, there were senators making comments to Judge Jackson and mostly comments of praise and admiration of her. I immediately looked towards her daughter, who was seated behind her, and I noticed this expression. And it was one of just pure admiration for her mother — and excitement.” “It really made me feel just a sense of pride to be in the

room and share that moment as well, as a Black woman,” Maney continued. Maney says she is the first ever Black photography fellow at the New York Times as well as the fellowship program’s first fellow in Washington DC. As it happens, she told KQED, this was the third time she applied to the fellowship program. And this time she got it. “So it’s really been an honor to be here, and document what’s happening on Capitol Hill and in the White House… It’s just a very exciting moment for me to be able to do this work.”

NCNW in Forefront of Fight Against COVID-19 Noha Aboelata

BLACK MENTAL HEALTH: Part 1

Daryle Allums

Oakland Frontline Healers Launching Black Mental Health Initiative By Tanya Dennis

April 2020, Oakland Black nonprofits and medical doctors formed a collaborative organization entitled Oakland Frontline Healers (OFH) to address the COVID-19 pandemic and its detrimental effects in the Black community. Oakland Frontline Healers ran toward the problem, providing PPE, testing, vaccines and services. Committed to providing the best knowledge and service, OFH member Umoja Health stopped giving the Johnson and Johnson vaccine because of its lack of efficacy after 60 days. “We are unapologetically Black in all that we do,” says Daryle Allums, founder of OFH. “We are from the hood and for the hood, committed to healing our people during stressful times and hardships.” As Oakland Frontline Healer members distributed food, housing vouchers, COVID-19 home test kits and other living essentials, reports of escalating violence and mental health episodes caused members to assess their next frontline mission. Black Mental Health won overwhelmingly. “We got youngsters out here wilding out, and we can’t let the police be the only solution,” says Allums, adding that “We’re also addressing violence. Soon Oakland will see

more of Adamika Village and Men of Influence’s Credible Messengers patrolling the flatlands.” OFH members have been meeting with the Bay Area Association of Black Psychologists, and with the aid of Dr. Noha Aboelata of ROOTS, are creating holistic approaches to bringing solid, ethnically sensitive mental health services with fast response. As usual, securing funding is the number one obstacle, number two is finding enough qualified practioners. Dr Aboelata mused that “Developing a training program for more Black service providers is something we must consider.” OFH hopes to establish two African American healing hubs, in West and East Oakland. They are also working on a larger center that will take years because of its complexity and scope, being led by the Association of Black Psychologists. The Black Mental Health Coalition project will address needs of people not on the County of Alameda’s radar. “Currently the only place the County offers mental evaluations is in Santa Rita jail, and to be seen by a therapist, your illness must be severe. That profile misses 75% of Black people that could use some help with their stress or crisis. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome is real, and COVID-19 has exacerbated the problem,” says, Tanya Dennis, lead facilitator of OFH. “There are few places for

Black folks to go when they’re in crisis, and available services are hard to access. When in crisis, people must trust the person offering assistance, and in the Black community its usually a person who doesn’t look like them. Despite best of intentions, not everyone can relate to our experience with America,” says Dr. Tony Jackson of Pranamind and President of the Bay Area Association of Black Psychologists. “There’s unspent money at the State and County level, and Federal money is also available,” says Dennis. “We’re approaching these agencies for funding, but our first step is getting community support. Black folks can do that by telling us what they need.” Dennis is requesting the public go to the OFH website and fill out their Black Mind survey, so leaders know what authentic, relevant service looks like. When the coalition presents to the County, State and Feds the Black collective voice must be heard. United, African Americans can get what has so long been denied, mental health care culturally sensitive and restorative. Go to Oaklandfrontlinehealers.org to take the survey and opportunity to tell your story. Interview with Karyn Tribble, Alameda County Behavorial Health and Dr. Noha Aboelata https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=wi-HZz_OVDo

collaborative courts, focusing on specific problem-solving solutions for offenders have already been established in a number of counties across the state. Teiahsha Bankhead, executive director of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY) said the courts work. “In some counties these courts have demonstrated very positive outcomes. They are most successful in communities that are not obsessed with over-policing and harsh punishment,” said Bankhead. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lawrence G. Brown, who has extensive experience with cases that come through these types of courts, asserted that the model has been helpful in his community. “In our three mental health treatment courts in Sacramento, which serve between 150200 participants at any given time, it would be a conservative estimate that well over half of those coming into our courts are either homeless or have housing instability,” said

Brown. “Based on our experience, if a person can be connected to meaningful treatment services, coupled with judicial oversight, there can be a profound impact on recidivism and hospitalizations,” he continued. Rhonda Smith, executive director of the California Black Health Network, is pleased to see the gap that CARE Court is closing but she is concerned about people the criminal justice program might miss. “If someone doesn’t pass the screening test, what happens to that person? What kind of safety net is there for them?” Smith asked. Bankhead believes CARE Court is a necessary measure in a society that has been rethinking crime and punishment. “In a humane, civil society members take into consideration disabling health considerations without punishing people for consequences of illnesses beyond their control,” Bankhead points out.

California’s New CARE Court Offers Justice Option for Substance Abusers, Mentally Ill By Aldon Thomas Stiles, California Black Media

Over the last two months, Gov. Gavin Newsom has met with some of the state’s counties to promote CARE Court. CARE Court — the acronym stands for Community, Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment — is a mental health framework the state created to help people who are suffering from mental illness and substance use disorder by providing alternatives to arrests and jail if they have runins with the law. Newsom announced the initiative at a press conference in San Jose last month. At the event, the governor said the new statewide initiative will receive funding from his administration’s multi-year mental health budget proposal totaling nearly $10 billion per year in behavioral health programs and services. “CARE Court is about meeting people where they are and acting with compassion to support the thousands of Californians living on our streets with severe mental health and substance use disorders,” said Newsom. “We are taking action to break the pattern that leaves people without hope and cycling repeatedly through homelessness and incarceration. This is a new approach to stabilize people with the hardest-to-treat behavioral health conditions.” Similar programs, called

Given that their mission is to lead, advocate for, and empower women and children in communities of color, it is not surprising that the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) is leading the charge to save lives and championing the fight against COVID-19. The 10 Northern California Region sections of NCNW (Alameda County, East Bay Area, East Oakland-Hayward, East Palo Alto, Fairfield/Vacaville/ Suisun, Golden Gate, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Clara County, and Vallejo) are partners in the Good Health WINs (Women’s Immunization Networks). Through their active participation in Good Health WINs, the NorCal sections are working to reduce health disparities, increase vaccination opportunities, vaccination education and identify the drivers of vaccine hesitancy. The NorCal Region has hosted a number of educational webinars aimed at furthering

the message that vaccines save lives. Their partnerships with both public and community healthcare providers include the West Oakland Health Council; Touro University Cares; Kaiser Permanente; UC Davis, La Familia; San Francisco African American Faith-Based Coalition; Vaccinate Solano; Sutter Health; and the California Department of Public Health, to host COVID-19 testing and vaccine clinics throughout Northern California. As recognized and trusted messengers, NCNW is joined in their efforts to champion good health in communities of color by national partners that include the National PanHellenic Council (NPHC), the Continental Societies, the Links, Phi Delta Kappa, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Council, National Black Nurses Association, Swing Phi Swing Social Fellowship, Vaccinate Your Family, Women’s Missionary Society of the AME Church, and others. NCNW is one of the oldest

and largest African American Women’s organizations. Its membership, some 2,000,000 strong, is largely comprised of community-based and campus sections, and more than 30 national women’s organizations. NCNW was founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, an influential educator and social activist. The organization was led by the iconic Dr. Dorothy Height for more than 50 years. Dr. Thelma Daly is the current NCNW national president and James Ella James is the president of the NorCal Region. NCNW’s programs address critical concerns known as “Four for the Future” and promotes focused education on science, technology, engineering and math; encourages entrepreneurship, financial literacy and economic stability; educates women about good health and HIV/AIDS; promotes civic engagement and advocates for sound public policy and social justice.

California’s New CARE Court Offers Justice Option for Substance Abusers, Mentally Ill Continued from page 5

“A CARE Court should result in lower costs for custodial care of people who have caused harm as additional resources and treatment alternatives will mean fewer people serving time in county jails and state prisons for charges that are essentially health violations,” continued Bankhead. While the U.S. accounts for 5% of the world’s population, it accounts for almost 25% of the world’s prisoners, accord-

ing to the American Psychological Association. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Black people make up almost 40% of the nation’s incarcerated population, although they comprise only 13% of the population. In California, the imprisonment rate of Black men alone is almost 10 times higher than the rate for white men, according to numbers provided by the Public Policy Institute of California.

“Because of the disproportionate incarceration of Black, Indigenous and other people of color we would expect overall reductions in incarceration rates with accompanying improvements in community health and wellbeing,” said Bankhead. “In CARE Court the criminalization of young Black men and women will hopefully be eliminated, shifted and lifted as seriously mentally ill people of color will be evaluated more

comprehensively for mental illness and offered real support, treatment, alternatives and opportunities to heal,” she continued. Experts estimate that about 10% to 25% of the nation’s prison population suffer from severe mental illness and 42% struggle with substance addiction. According to California Health Policy Strategies, open mental health cases in California increased by 42% between

2009 and 2019. During that period, the yearly average of daily intakes of open mental health cases increased by 62%. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimated in 2015 that 45% of the nation’s homeless population suffered from mental illness. “There’s nothing compassionate about continuing to allow the current cycle of homelessness and incarceration to continue. My Administration

will continue hosting CARE Court roundtables across the state listening to impacted Californians and stakeholders about their experiences and needs,” Newsom said.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1164 GLEN AVENUE, 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 held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $604,276.25 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. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 094902-CA. 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 Web site.

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.

OCCUR, S.F. Foundation Offer Business Plan Race and the Presidential Workshop for Faith-Based or Non-Profit Entities Elections in France By Shy Alderman

By Kitty Kelly Epstein

France is having presidential elections next week, and unfortunately there are few good guys running. But organizers from the working class neighborhoods are having an impact, and the one candidate who speaks up for the Black and Brown working class is gaining in the polls. The most right-wing candidate has actually proposed that no citizen of the country should be allowed to have a Muslim name. And the “center” candidate, current president Emmanuel Macron, has attacked public services by reducing access to hospital care; reducing the number of schoolteachers and rendering the diplomas of kids in poor communities worth less than the diplomas of those in wealthier communities. He has helped the rich economically while proposing to cut unemployment benefits for the working class. A big part of the reason for such bad choices for elected office, I would argue, is that the French Left has largely ignored the issue of race, leaving Muslim people, Black people and anti-racist whites with no place to go. The French don’t have the same knee-jerk, McCarthy-era anti-communist reactions as Americans. In fact, as Lyon teacher and organizer Abdelkader told my radio audience last week, French people

More than 30,000 supporters attend a rally in Toulouse, a town the size of Oakland, to support presidential candidate Jean Luc Melanchon, who has started to criticize Islamophobia and racism.

think of communists and socialists as being “closer to the people.” Nevertheless, the Left’s political platforms do not address the concerns of non-white French people who suffer from stereotyping, police abuse and new laws that constrain their lives in myriad ways. A French Muslim woman, also interviewed on my radio show, talked about being forced to remove her hijab (a head scarf worn by many Muslim women) before she entered her workplace every day. French society permits this type of discrimination. The Left-wing candidates, by and large, have little to say about discrimination. The one exception, Jean Luc Melanchon, has started to criticize Islamophobia and racism, and is now supported by a collective of organizers from the Quartier Populaire (what we would call the ’hood in the U.S.). The Quartier Populaire organizers, who generally do not participate in presidential politics, have now found the situation so desperate that they have

decided to take a chance on Melanchon. They are not naive about the possible result. Previously, Macron himself also appeared in the 2017 election vowing not to attack religions freedom but he has done so. The Quartier Populaire organizers have been effective. On Sunday, 25,000 people showed up in support of Melanchon in Toulouse, a city the size of Oakland. Though it is unlikely that Melanchon will win they are hoping that this new alliance will lead to support by Melanchon and others for candidates from the ’hood being elected to other offices. Greater solidarity between U.S. and French Black, Muslim, and anti-racist activists could help. The platform of the French organizers and a list of their supporters is here on Twitter @Onsenmele2022.

ie “The Burning Bed” starring Farrah Fawcett. In the movie, after nearly a decade of abuse, Fawcett’s character Francine Hughes douses gasoline over her sleeping husband and lights their bed on fire. “They don’t think about that some families actually want to stay together, that some families actually want help for every-

body. And for us, whether the family decides to stay together or not, we know that services and support and trauma work needs to be done with both the perpetrator and the survivors so those are the kinds of things that we’re advocating for,” said Brooks.

OCCUR and San Francisco Foundation’s FAITHS Program are pleased to present the second workshop in the 2022 A Model Built on Faith Capacity-Building Series. This virtual training, “Creating Your One Page Business Plan” for faith-based and nonprofit organizations, will be held on April 14, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Business plans are no longer a tool just for corporations. In this session, instructor Toni Nell, Strategic Planning & Execution Expert with ‘One Page Business Plan®,’ will teach participants how, in just one page, to define

their organization’s mission, vision, express who they are in service, define success, and develop simple strategies for moving their organizations forward. This session is appropriate for nonprofit and faith-based organization leaders, advocates, managers, board members, and others. Participants who complete the April 14 training and would like to further their skills on this topic will have the opportunity to participate in subsequent trainings on April 20, May 18, and June 15, through scheduled trainings through The Nehemiah Project. The final document generated through this process can serve as a guide for organization leaders

to align and hone their more indepth strategic planning efforts. This valuable training has been made available to all OCCUR

partners and the Bay Area nonprofit and faith-based community thanks to generous funding from San Francisco Foundation’s FAITHS Program.

Don’t Criminalize Domestic Violence Survivors, Advocates Say Continued from page 6

Indigenous women. “They don’t call anyone because they don’t want the police to kill them. They don’t want the police to kill their partners. They don’t want to go to jail,” said Brooks. The tragedy helped propel her into activism and advocacy. Now, the Anti Police-Terror Project is on the verge of releasing its model for responding to interpersonal violence without police, she told California Black Media. Members have worked closely with many organizations on the frontlines doing domestic violence work, because it must be a local solution, said Brooks. The organization provides principles and structures, but ultimately, the community must come together, identify where the safe house is, who the trauma responders are going to be, who are going to deal with the perpetrator in a way that’s not violent, and force accountability, without involving law enforcement, she explained. According to Brooks, the Anti Police-Terror Project does a lot of propaganda and talking to the community, and they have found it interesting that mainstream media’s portrayal of abusers is like the 1984 mov-

Mann said by most measures the things we’re seeing nationally we are seeing in the Bay Area. The country is about 1 million jobs shy of where it was pre-pandemic while that number is about 100,000 in the Bay Area. Before the pandemic, jobs numbered 2,507,000 in the Bay Area, compared with the most current figure of 2,402,000, Mann said.

Three Lawsuits Challenge City of Oakland, A’s Over Proposed Real Estate Project at Port of Oakland Continued from page 1

bor Trucking Association; California Trucking Association; and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), which represents dockworkers. Several of these organizations have criticized city officials and the Oakland A’s corporation for refusing to meet with them to negotiate or even inform them about the project proposal. A spokesperson for the East Oakland Stadium Alliance said the A’s and the City have failed to disclose the negative impacts that the project will have on businesses at the Port and surrounding communities. “The A’s proposal to build a stadium and luxury condominiums, office and retail development will cause major disruptions and impacts to both the surrounding community and the operations of the Port, yet the EIR did not fully address these concerns or mitigate

these well-known issues,” said Mike Jacob, speaking for the Stadium Alliance to KRON4. “It is simply not proper to ignore or defer analysis or mitigation of so many of the significant impacts identified in the more than 400 comments submitted by community and supply chain stakeholders, and as a result our only alternative is to pursue legal recourse,” Jacob said. The second lawsuit was filed by Union Pacific Railroad, raising concerns about environmental and public safety risks. In a statement to the San Francisco Chronicle, Robynn Tysver, a spokesperson for Union Pacific, said the company has “serious safety concerns” about the project because, if built, it would be near “two busy railyards and a busy passenger rail station.” “Union Pacific believes developing the Howard Terminal

without removing rail, vehicle and pedestrian conflicts will exacerbate roadway congestion and create significant safety risks for the public and our employees,” said Tysver. “We are asking that the Oakland A’s and City of Oakland go back and diligently study a gradeseparated access plan to properly mitigate the risks.” A third lawsuit against the EIR was filed on April 4 by the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority. The Capitol Corridor runs 30 weekday and 22 weekend passenger trains weekly on Union Pacific tracks. Union Pacific runs 15 freight trains per day and Amtrak passenger trains. Responding to the lawsuits, Dave Kaval, president of the A’s, said, “This is just absolutely crazy that these lawsuits are even possible. We are going to prosecute this and defend it and do what we can to demonstrate our project is going to be

a huge net benefit,” he said in an interview with the Chronicle. Kaval was dismissive of the Union Pacific lawsuit, saying the current railway situation at the Port is “completely untenable.” “One of the key parts of this project is maintaining railroad safety,” Kaval said. “Our project is going to do so much to make Jack London Square safer.” Of the first lawsuit filed against the EIR, Kaval said, “We think they should drop the lawsuit. It’s an odd way to use an environmental law to prevent the environmental review from being completed.” He said he and city staff were both concerned about the lawsuit. “We are disappointed collectively about this,” he said.

Councilmembers Call for Investigation of Termination of Oakland Department of Violence Prevention Administrator Continued from page 1

the decisions that are the subject of this alleged misconduct never came to the City Council, and since the City Council voted to fund a deputy chief of Violence Prevention, and never authorized eliminating that position, I urge that we schedule this issue to Council directly, and that we take action to undo inappropriate actions, and take further steps to ensure that race and gender discrimination are not tolerated.” Said Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas, “Every day, not just during Women’s History Month, it’s absolutely urgent to ensure pay equity and a workplace free from gender discrimination. These claims

are deeply troubling and must be investigated and resolved immediately. Dr. Sarai Crain is a well-respected advocate against gender-based violence. Her departure has been deeply felt by those of us working to end human trafficking, which is centered in my district in the San Antonio neighborhood. Having championed last year’s investment in expanding the Department of Violence Prevention, I want to ensure we have strong leadership to implement Oakland’s vision for community healing and safety.” According to Council President Pro Tem Sheng Thao, “These allegations are incredibly serious and must be inves-

tigated thoroughly. The gender pay gap is very real and persistent in this country. In Oakland, of all places, one of the most progressive, forwardingthinking cities in America, it is unconscionable that this discriminatory practice would be allowed to go on. We must do all that we can to ensure equal pay for equal work. Equity is an Oakland value. Equity is an American value. It is my hope that this matter can be settled quickly and Dr. Crain can return to the critical work of violence prevention in Oakland.” The letter from Crain’s attorney is demanding that Dr. Crain be reinstated or receive one year’s salary and an equal amount for emotional distress,

totaling $268,104. However, if the city fails to “settle this matter expeditiously,” Dr. Crain will bring a lawsuit against the city for Equal and Fair Pay Act wage loss, gender discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Within months, Crain’s supervisor Guillermo Cespedes told her that “DVP would not work with the Oakland Police Department due to political issues and continuously interfered with her work,” according to the letter, which also said that her supervisor made “homophobic comments” and other offensive statements.

Black Experience in U.S. Parallels Jesus’ Undeserved Persecution, Death, Liberation Theology Scholars Say Continued from page 1

We recall that it was April 4, 1968, when Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated. We know there was pain and suffering on the cross. Simone of Cyrene, a Black man, carried the cross for Jesus, leaving his DNA, our blood, on the Cross. Like Jesus, we know the meaning of the suffering servant. “The Cross and the Lynching Tree” is worthy of mention during this time given the signing of the Emmitt Till AntiLynching Act. On March 29, the Honorable Congresswoman Barbara Lee stood before the United Nations and spoke on the abolition of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. “It has been over 120 years since Congress first attempt to criminalize the horrendous act of lynching,” she said, noting that President

Biden would sign the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act., making it a federal hate crime. Young Emmitt was only 14 years of age, visiting from Chicago, innocent of the Jim Crow culture in Mississippi. Epitomizing white supremacy, Till’s lynching was brutal and inhumane, carried out simply because he was accused of whistling at a white woman. I said ‘accused,’ not guilty. Clenora Hudson-Weems remarked that his horrifying death in 1955 made Till the sacrificial lamb of the Civil Rights Movement. The sacrifices and indignities have never stopped. I reflect on the brutality of the murders at Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina when a white boy attended Bible Study with the Black congregation on June

17, 2015. After Bible Study, Dylan Roof gunned down nine congregants. After his arrest, the police bought the 15-yearold a hamburger before he was booked because he said he was hungry. Dylan later wrote in a journal; it was all worth it. What a difference in the treatment of Till and Roof. Ketanji Brown Jackson recently weathered hours and hours of indignities at hearings to determine her fitness to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. The questions and comments by extreme right-wing Republicans were tantamount to ridicule and insults to humiliate and degrade her intelligence. The attacks on her personhood were a form of public, high-profile lynching. The exception was that the brilliant Jackson-Brown outwitted the

bullies with her deep intellect. Cone reminds us that the white lynchers of Blacks in America were not regarded as criminals; like Jesus, Blacks were the criminals and insurrectionists making a connection with the Cross and the Lynching Tree. During this upcoming Passion Week, we reflect on the journey that Jesus made to the Cross for our salvation, the brutality, the death, and ultimately the Resurrection. The Cross is a constant reminder that the world is filled with contradictions, many lynching trees. If we don’t know the truth about our past, we don’t have a keen sense of who we are, the injustices we have been confronted with and the accomplishments we have made in the face of adversities.

Harvard’s Numbers Show Drop in Black, Latinx Admissions By Emil Guillermo

Those in Higher Ed are anticipating the Supreme Court’s review of a lawsuit filed by some Asian Americans specifically recruited by anti-affirmative action legal groups hell-bent on ending racial preferences in college admissions, particularly at Harvard. The end of affirmative action would make it harder to achieve fairness if one could not identify underrepresented ethnic applicants. But the way the Supreme Court is composed, it looks like affirmative action is dead. And not just at Harvard, but everywhere.

Opinion

It also comes at a time when the policy is still necessary. The latest numbers for the incoming Class of 2026 show Asian Americans grew once again to 27.8%, up from 27.2%. African Americans saw a decrease. The new admits were 15.5% of the class, down from 18%. Latinx were at 12.6%, down from 13.3%. Native Americans were at 2.9%, more than twice the previous year’s 1.2%. Native Hawaiians increased from 0.8% from 0.6%. Overall, the incoming admits are in keeping with the societal trend of minorities making up the majority, as the

entire class is 59.6% Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color (BIPOC), and around 40% white. But just as Harvard becomes more diverse, the school has also become more exclusive with its acceptance rate at a record low 3.19%. Overall, 61,220 students applied to Harvard, an increase from 57, 435. That means 1,954 applicants got offers of admission. And 59,266 got rejections. I provide the numbers to give context. The Asian Americans are the largest percentage among BIPOC and they are suing? In the meantime, the decreases in the Black and Latinx populations should be more

alarming, especially if these are coming when race can be used in admissions. What more if race was banned? Would we get double-digit decreases? Ted Cruz Is Neither a Woman Nor an Asian At the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, you’ll recall how Sen. Ted Cruz (RTX) engaged in some strange hypotheticals about race and gender. “Under the modern leftist sensibilities, if I decide right now that I’m a woman, then apparently I’m a woman,” said Cruz, who is definitely not a woman, but used it to argue if he could sue for discrimination.

State’s Poor People’s Campaign Honors MLK on 54th Anniversary of Assassination By Ken Epstein

In a call for an end to U.S. wars abroad and for justice at home, people came together in Oakland and another two dozen cities around California on Monday, April 4, to commemorate the 54th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King Jr. with a participatory reading of King’s profound and historic Riverside Church speech, “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.” The Oakland reading, held in Oscar Grant Plaza in front of Oakland City Hall, was hosted by the Western States Legal Foundation, a mobilizing partner with the California Poor People’s Campaign. Speakers at the Oakland event included former Oakland City Councilmember Wilson Riles Jr.; Nell Myhand, a California Poor People’s Campaign Co-Chair; Jacqueline Cabasso and Phyllis Olin of the Western States Legal Foundation; and Patricia St. Onge, founder and

a partner at Seven Generations Consulting and Coaching. On April 4, 1967, exactly one year before his tragic assassination, Dr. King. gave a prophetic speech at Riverside Church in New York City that still stands today as a profound indictment of the United States’ murderous foreign policy and a call for justice for Black, poor and other marginalized people in this country. In his speech, Dr. King said: “I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin...we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
