Lee Highlights Funding for California Child Care Providers to Support Working Families

By Alex Katz

On Tuesday, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA13) today highlighted $3,756,521,773 in funding available for California child care providers to open safely, keep workers on the payroll and lower costs for hardworking families.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has created a child care crisis on top of a public health crisis,” said Lee. “Child care providers are almost entirely women and 40% are people of color. Providing relief to help keep child care centers and schools open is critical for our students, parents, educators, and care providers, and is essential to support our country’s economic recovery and build back better.

I’m pleased to see this funding come through for families and childcare providers in the East Bay and across our state.”

The funding comes as part of two programs Lee advocated for within the American Rescue Plan: $2,313,166,479 from the child care stabilization fund to help child care providers to reopen or stay open, provide safe and healthy learning environments, keep workers on payroll, and provide mental Continued on Page 10

San Francisco Mayor London Breed, the Oakland Police Department (OPD) and the Greenlining Institute President and CEO Debra Gore-Mann issued statements in reaction to Tuesday’s triple guilty verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, ex-Minneapolis police officer for killing George Floyd in May, 2020.

Mayor London Breed’s statement: “This verdict does not bring back the life of George Floyd.

It can’t replace the years of his life that were robbed from him, nor the life experiences and memories that would have been made with his friends and family. What this verdict does reflect is that the tide is turning in this country, although still too slowly, toward accountability and justice.

Almost 11 months ago, the world watched as Officer Derek Chauvin kept his knee on the back of George Floyd’s neck. He kept it there for eight minutes and 46 seconds, but it felt like an eternity. The systemic injustice from hundreds of years of racism and mistreat-

ment of Black Americans was put into plain view on video, and the country and the world erupted in protest.

While we’re now months removed from the height of those protests, the need for action is as critical as ever. This is about more than prosecuting the officer who killed George Floyd, though that is an important step. It’s about fundamentally restructuring how policing is done to move away from the

use of excessive force. It’s about shifting responses to non-violent calls away from an automatic police response to something better equipped to handle the situation. It’s about reinvesting in communities in which years of systematic disinvestment has made it nearly impossible for people to thrive.

It’s about changing who we are as a country.

That’s what we’re trying to do in San Francisco. Our Street

A Diverse Jury Delivers Justice for George Floyd Opinion

By Emil Guillermo

All-white jury?

There’s no more feared phrase among civil rights lawyers.

But that’s not what Minnesota gave us in the Derek Chauvin trial.

The jury that decided the fate of the white former police officer who had his knee on George Floyd’s neck was more diverse than the Minnesota county where the trial was held.

And that means the odds of getting justice were probably a lot higher than anyone could have imagined.

And right up to when the verdict was read the anxiety level was so high, people all over the country were fearful.

This case was really the Peo-

ple vs. the Cops.

Leave it to diversity.

Minnesota’s Hennepin County has 1.3 million people, according to Census data from 2019. The racial breakdown is 74.2% are white, 13.8% black, 7.5% Asian, 7% Latino, 3.3% biracial, 1.1% Native American.

How much lower would your anxiety level be with a 12-member jury that had only nine white people?

Not much.

But again, praise diversity.

The Chauvin jury included six whites -- two male, four female. And there were four Black people (three of whom are male, plus a 60-year-old black woman).

The remaining two jurors were multi-racial.

But now, what’s in their heads?

The questionnaires all the potential jurors filled out asked about policing, protests and criminal justice. the selected was a white man in his 20s, who was the only juror who said he had not seen the cell-phone video of Chauvin with his knee on Floyd’s neck.

The man, a chemist, said in his questionnaire, “I rely on facts and logic and what’s in front of me.”

To me that sounded like a guy who might want to see some evidence again. That in-

dicated to me the potential for a long deliberation and not a quick one.

One of the Black jury members, in his 30s, said he had not seen the cell-phone video in its entirety. In his questionnaire he said he didn’t believe Chauvin “set out to murder anyone,” but noticed how three officers on the scene stood by and didn’t take action.

It seemed to reflect a balanced, open-minded jury that could deliberate on the truth.

The prosecution skillfully framed its case around the cellphone video we have all seen, the 9:29-long video of Chauvin with a knee to the neck of Floyd. “You can believe your eyes,” said attorney Jerry Blackwell in the opening. In closing, his prosecuting partner, Steve Schleicher, said it again and added, “This wasn’t Continued on Page 10

Crisis Response Teams, consisting of paramedics and behavioral health specialists, are now often the first responders to non-violent 911 calls relating to mental health and sub-

stance use.

Our Dream Keeper Initiative is redirecting $120 million to improve the lives of Black youth and their families through investments in everything from housing, to healthcare, to workforce training and guaranteed income. And our sustained, multi-year efforts to reform our police department has resulted in a 57% reduction in instances of use of force and a 45% decrease in officerinvolved shootings since 2016.

While this tragedy can never be undone, what we can do is finally make real change in the name of George Floyd. Nothing we can do will bring him back, but we can do the work to prevent others from facing his fate in the future. That is the work we need to do. It’s ongoing, it’s challenging, but if we are committed, we can make Continued on Page 10

“One of the challenges we are facing is trying to understand who really is in control, who really has power in our school district: There are forces behind the scenes that are definitely exerting power,” she said, and our communities need a “plan for getting out of their control so we can get back on track so Oakland students can thrive.”

Reopening School:

Learning Black History Year-Round

Key to Bouncing Back is Being Back

By Dr. Margaret Fortune

Reopening school after a year of being in a COVID-19 closure is hard. But I can tell you firsthand, after having reopened my schools on April 5, there is nothing better than seeing students and teachers in classrooms again. The key to bouncing back is being back.

What planning goes into reopening and what does it really mean for families?

I lead a K-12 public school system of nearly 2,300 students, nine schools and about 300 employees across three cities and two counties in California. My students are 64% Black, 25% Latino and 78% low income.

We have been very attentive to the needs of our students, and enrollment has gone up during the pandemic, not down.

We have a 96% attendance rate and 94% of our students who were enrolled on the first day of

Opinion

school are still enrolled.

This is a high rate of student persistence at a time when the narrative for many large urban school systems is scores of students gone missing. While large urban schools dominate the headlines, small school systems like mine, with under 5,000 average daily attendance, make up two-thirds of the school districts in California.

It was good that Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature

gave guidance for schools to reopen by April 1. At Fortune School, we surveyed parents and found 53% wanted to return their children to in-person learning. That’s up from 46% who asked to return in November 2020 when we had plans to reopen but couldn’t because infection rates increased.

As I talk to educators from other states, I am learning that California stayed shuttered for an unusually long time. Was it politics or public health that kept schools closed for so long?

I’m not sure.

What I do know is that while our buildings were closed to students, my schools put every safety measure in place from expensive, hospital-grade air filtration systems to plexiglass barriers. Our staff got vaccinated, has ongoing access to surveillance testing, and we have systems for contact tracing.

On reopening day, a long line of cars wrapped around the corner for morning drop-off.

Crews of educators checked kids’ temperatures at the car door and welcomed them to their pre-assigned, small pod of classmates with whom they will spend the rest of the school year.

Inside a typical classroom we can fit 10 students and two teachers socially distanced six feet apart.

With this configuration, we are able to offer school inperson five days a week from 7:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. The Centers for Disease Control guidance about desks being 3 feet apart came too late to be implemented this school year, but could be a game-changer for the fall.

Currently, schools are required to offer families the option for distance learning.

Newsom has said he expects California to be re-opened by June 15, allowing schools to be back to full in-person instrucContinued on page 7

John McHenry Boatwright: Operatic Bass-Baritone

By Tamara Shiloh

It was in the sanctuary of St. James A.M.E. Church in Tennille, Ga. that John McHenry Boatwright (1928–1994) developed a passion for music.

He was seven years old at the time and a natural piano player.

Boatwright was youngest son of Levi and Lillie Boatwright. His father was a switchman in Tennille’s rail yards.

He found himself out of work when the Great Depression struck in 1929. Boatwright’s mother helped to support the family by working as a cook in a private home.

The people around young Boatwright who’d experienced his gift knew that his talent would go unrecognized if he stayed in the South. So, his older sister invited him to live with her. By age 12, he’d abandoned familiar surroundings for opportunities in Boston.

As time progressed, his talent exploded. Young Boatwright would soon face the conundrum of finishing high school or playing jazz music.

His choice was the latter, yet he wouldn’t allow his education to suffer. He completed his high school studies at night.

He later attended the New England Conservatory of Music. To afford the tuition fees, he worked as a cab driver, elevator operator, and at other odd jobs. Throughout those times, Boatwright focused on developing and training his voice.

Near the end of his studies there, voice became his major.

In order to support these lessons, he tutored other students in the art of singing. Boatwright received a bachelor’s of music degree in 1950 and a bachelor of music in voice in 1954 from the conservatory.

After his 1956 debut in Boston, he sang the lead role in Clarence Cameron White’s “Ouanga,” presented by the National Negro Opera Foundation at the Metropolitan Opera House. In 1958, he made his operatic debut with the New England Opera Theater in the role of Arkel in Debussy’s “Pelleas et Melisande.” His

As a member of the Hamburg Opera in Germany, he sang the lead in the 1967 premiere of Gunther Schuller’s Visitation. In 1969, he took part in the premiere performance of Dave Brubeck’s “The Gates of Justice.”

Making numerous appearances as a recitalist, he sang for several presidents at the White House.

Teachers, District Reach Tentative Agreement for 2021-22 School Year OAKLAND (BCN)

The Oakland teachers union and the city’s school district have reached a tentative agreement for full in-person instruction for the 2021-22 school year, district officials said Monday.

Under the agreement, which needs ratification by the union and approval by the school board, the school year would begin on Aug. 9 following public health guidelines, district officials said in a brief announcement.

A letter announcing the agreement was signed by Oakland Unified School District Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell and Oakland Education Association President Keith Brown.

Last week, the district and union announced they were at an impasse over issues related to reopening and had asked the state Public Employment Relations Board to appoint a mediator. On Monday, a district spokesman said the issues had

Keith Brown been resolved.

In-person instruction in the district resumed Monday for Oakland students in prekindergarten through grade 6 -- and “priority students” in higher grades -- whose families had opted in.

Wells Fargo Invests in 5 Additional Black-Owned Banks Based in Jackson, Mississippi, HOPE serves Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. · On March 25, Wells Fargo was one of several U.S. banks and payment technology companies named as investors in Greenwood, the digital banking platform for Black and Latino individuals and business owners, as part of Greenwood’s $40 million of Series A

By Edith Rocío Robles

Wells Fargo has invested in 11 Minority Depository Institutions in 2021 as part of a $50 million pledge and a commitment to foster economic growth in Black and African American communities On Tuesday, Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) announced equity investments in five African American Minority Depository Institutions, or MDIs, as part of its March 2020 pledge to invest up to $50 million in Blackowned banks.

As part of the equity capital investment, Wells Fargo is also offering access to a dedicated relationship team that can work with each MDI on financial, technological, and product development strategies to help each institution strengthen and grow.

“The country’s MDIs are vital to minority communities, but over the last two decades, many have declined or have closed. The capital investment we are announcing is important, but it’s our relationship approach that will make the difference in their futures. We want to be a partner to these important institutions and, in turn, have a positive effect on local communities,” said William Daley, vice chairman of Public Affairs at Wells Fargo.

Tuesday’s announcement includes investments in the following institutions: · Carver State Bank in Savannah, Ga. · Citizens Trust Bank in Atlanta, Ga. · First Independence Bank in Detroit, Mich. · Liberty Bank in New Orleans, La. · Unity National Bank in Houston, Texas These investments follow

William Daley, vice chairman of Public Affairs at Wells Fargo.

Cynthia N. Day, president and CEO of Citizens Trust Bank.

Wells Fargo’s Feb. 8, 2021, announcement regarding its investments in six African American MDIs and takes the Company’s total investment to 11 MDIs to date.

In addition, Wells Fargo will be making its nationwide ATM network available for customers of these 11 MDIs to use without incurring fees.

“Guided by our founding principles to promote financial stability and equality for all communities, Citizens Trust Bank is proud to partner with Wells Fargo in expanding these efforts. The partnership enhances our ability to deploy more capital in our markets and beyond. We appreciate Wells Fargo for its commitment and alliance in providing solutions to the very important challenge of addressing inequalities that disproportionately impact communities of color,” said Cynthia N. Day, president and CEO of Citizens Trust Bank.

Wells Fargo’s financial commitments are in the form of critical equity capital, which is foundational to the MDIs’ ability to expand lending and deposit-taking capacity in their communities.

The investments, primarily

non-voting positions, are designed to enable the banks to maintain their MDI status.

Wells Fargo is also supporting each MDI’s development through a banking relationship in the form of a single touchpoint coverage model that will help them access Wells Fargo’s expertise and pursue strategic priorities like entering new markets, expanding locations, designing new products and hiring staff to support loan growth.

Wells Fargo’s financial commitment announced Tuesday complements additional initiatives that aim to serve all of our customers and communities: · On March 30, Wells Fargo closed on a $5 million patient capital loan to Hope Enterprise Corporation (HOPE), a 501(c)(3) and a certified Community Development Financial Institution that is dedicated to strengthening communities, building assets, and improving lives in the Delta and other economically distressed areas of the Deep South. HOPE plans to use the funds as secondary capital for its credit union, providing financial services to underserved markets and people in the Deep South.

funding. Greenwood is partnering with FDIC-insured banks to give customers the ability to spend and save securely and will feature best-in-class online banking services, innovative ways to support minority-owned banks, and give-back programs focused on Black and Latino causes and businesses.

In the 10 years spanning

2009 to 2018, Wells Fargo was the No. 1 financier of home loans to African Americans and originated more mortgages to help Black home buyers purchase homes than the four other largest bank lenders combined.

Edith Rocío Robles is the assistant vice president of Corporate Communications for Wells Fargo Community Banking, Bay Area Region.

Free First 5 California Kit Remains Essential to New Parents, Especially Now Kit Enters Digital Age with Online Version of Resource-Packed California Parent Guide Sacramento – In 2001, First 5 California debuted its informative and resourcepacked Kit for New Parents to millions of families and caregivers throughout the state. However, many parents of young children, especially families from underresourced neighborhoods, are not aware of this free and valuable tool.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents of children under the age of 5 who face barriers of literacy, poverty or disability experience difficulty accessing valuable information and resources that are essential during this time,” said First 5 California Executive Director Camille Maben. “The Kit for New Parents fills that gap by delivering essential parenting resources right to their doors.”

The Kit contains everything from practical advice and parenting tips to child development and finding child care information. It

also includes information about health and safety best practices during the current global pandemic. The Kit’s contents include: • California Parent Guide • What to Do When Your Child Gets Sick book • Numbers Touch and Feel children’s board book • California Poison Control brochure and magnet • Colorful, reusable First 5 California “Talk. Read. Sing.” tote bag First 5 California developed the Kit as an innovative evidence-based approach to reach new families with information about parenting practices and community resources. Over the years, it has evolved with technology and the needs of parents and is continuously updated to

include information relevant to today’s families and childcare providers. For example, the California Parent Guide is now available online at parentguide.first5california. com for parents to access with their smartphones and mobile devices.

Parents and organizations can receive the physical Kit by visiting First 5 California’s ordering page at https:// apps.ccfc.ca.gov/First5ParentingKits or by contacting their local First 5 county commission.

To date, First 5 California has distributed more than 5 million Kits for New Parents, including approximately 145,000 in 2020. To learn more about First 5 California, visit ccfc.ca.gov.

USS Oakland Comes to Life: California Bill Aims to End Homelessness Ship Brings New Spirit to City Continued from page 3

By Conway Jones

The USS OAKLAND (LCS 24) was commissioned at Berth 22, the Port of Oakland, Saturday, April 17, 2021. This is the third U.S. Navy ship to bear the name of Oakland.

Oakland city officials, Navy leaders and representatives from the shipbuilding community gathered in a socially distanced audience for a ceremony that was broadcast live.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf gave the welcoming remarks.

“We could not be more proud to have this ship carry the name of our beloved city,” said Schaaf. “It is such an honor to have this ship named for Oakland, California.”

OAKLAND. Acting Secretary of the Navy, the honorable Thomas W. Harker, delivered the ceremony’s principal address.

In a lighter moment, Harker said, “It is a great pleasure for me to be home in California and to be back in Oakland after many years. I got to row in the Oakland Estuary (as a member of Cal’s rowing team (UC Berkeley) and have some of this water that is behind us splash up on me for some of that time.”

Congresswoman Barbara Lee expressed her comments in a letter that was published in

the USS OAKLAND’s Commissioning program book.

“I am so proud that your ship will fly a coat of arms bearing images of an oak tree and Lake Merritt, symbols of our communities’ strength, beauty, and resiliency,” said Lee. “Your unique capabilities will play a vital role in our national security for decades to come,” her published remarks continued.

students in-person and online simultaneously. It’s not sustainable.

The governor is on the right track providing strong guidance to public schools, backed by the authority of the state and funding to implement his expectations. He should keep it up. I’ve spoken to plenty of students and

teachers who are definitely glad to be back.

ary of 2020 were Black.

AB 816 would also provide a governor-appointed homelessness inspector general.

Transitioning from homelessness to another housing-related issue, transportation, Assembly Bill (AB) 1401 would prohibit local governments from imposing or enforcing minimum parking requirements on residential developments if the development is within walking distance of public transit.

As it currently stands, there are cities where the law mandates there be a certain amount of parking spaces for housing units or other residential properties.

These parking space requirements take up space that some experts believe could be utilized for affordable housing.

For example, in San Diego,

there must be at least one parking space per bedroom or housing unit by law, which could cost up to $90,000 per space.

That was until the San Diego City Council voted to remove these parking requirements on March 4.

AB 1401, which Assemblymembers Laura Friedman (D-Glendale), Alex Lee (DSan Jose), Nancy Skinner (DBerkeley) and Scott Weiner (D-San Francisco) co-sponsored, would make that mandate statewide.

In the upper house of the state Legislature, Senate Bill (SB) 15 would incentivize local governments, through grants, to rezone idle building sites intended for retail or commercial projects to instead be used for housing.

The bill also goes into detail about how cities would qualify for the grants.

“In order to be eligible for a grant, the bill would require a local government, among other things, to apply to the department for an allocation of grant funds and provide documentation that it has met specified requirements, including certain labor-related requirements,” the bill reads.

“The bill would make the allocation of these grants subject to appropriation by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act or other statute.”

There is no doubt that California’s housing crisis is dire, justifying these bills, and the many others, being presented to handle this behemoth. While a house is not always a home, a roof is always a blessing, and it is the hope of many that sweeping legislation might go a long way in securing that blessing for more Californians.

keep their lights on and serve their communities during this trying time.”

The California Legislature recently approved this latest round of funding in the relief program administered by the California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), part of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).

Since the initial launch of the funding rounds, more than 40,000 businesses in all areas of the state have been awarded funding. More than 350,000 grant applications have been successfully submitted, and 87% of selected applicants represent underserved and disadvantaged

small businesses. According to the governor’s office, demand for grant funding has far surpassed supply, and this latest round of financing presents one more opportunity for eligible companies to receive relief that will help keep their doors open.

“I was so glad to finally see that our company had been selected for a business grant in the third round of the CA Relief grant program,” said Pleshette Robertson, founder, CEO and chief editor of Sac Cultural Hub, a print and digital magazine that serves a largely African American readership across Northern California.

“I was getting so discouraged but was jumping for joy when I received the e-mail notifica-

California’s Clean Energy Future:

It’s about time.

Time-of-Use rate plans are powering our state’s clean energy goals.

Time-of-Use rate plans charge different prices depending on the time of day.

Time-of-Use rate plans offer lower prices for 19 hours of the day — before 4 pm and after 9 pm — when cleaner energy is more readily available.

By making small changes — like turning off lights you aren’t using after 4 pm or turning on appliances like dishwashers and washing machines right before you go to bed — you can take advantage of lower energy prices while using cleaner energy.

To learn more about Time-of-Use, visit pge.com/touinfo.

tion,” Robertson continued.

“My business was hit hard by this COVID-19 pandemic, and the grant was a huge help for contributing towards meeting payroll and our monthly office lease. As a Black-owned, woman-owned business, it has been difficult meeting all operating expenses and keeping the business going.”

Grants, the state says, will not be issued on a first-come, firstserved basis. Instead, the selection of grantees will be based on the “program’s priorities.”

Double-Double Legacies? Next Black Caucus Why Barbara Lee Wore Members Expected to Be Familiar Names Tennis Shoes on January 6

By Aldon Thomas Stiles California Black Media

By Kiki

Last week, the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), a group comprised of African American elected officials serving in the state Legislature, was preparing to welcome its newest member, former La Mesa City Councilwoman Dr. Akilah Weber.

With a solid lead, the younger Weber, who is African American, declared victory in the 79th Assembly District race for the San Diego seat her mother, Dr. Shirley Weber, previously held for almost a decade, from 2012 to 2021.

After she is sworn in, Weber will be the newest member of the CLBC. Weber won with 51.97% of the vote out of a pool of five candidates. Marco Contreras, the only Republican running for the position, trailed her with 33.4% of the votes.

Gov. Gavin Newsom nominated the elder Weber to serve as Secretary of State in December, succeeding Sen. Alex Padilla (DCA), who is currently California’s junior Senator in the United States Congress.

“Can’t wait to have you in the CABlackCaucus,” Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), chair of the CLBC, said earlier this month when he heard Weber was leading the race in a special election held in April to replace her mother.

Last week, the CLBC also threw its support behind another woman of African descent who is also familiar to that body, Mia Bonta of Oakland. She could also join the group’s ranks in the next

couple of months.

Bonta, who is currently Alameda Unified School District president, announced her candidacy April 12 for the state Assembly seat in District 18 that her husband, Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), currently occupies. The district covers an East Bay area that includes the cities of San Leandro, Alameda and Oakland.

In March, Newsom appointed her husband, who is FilipinoAmerican, as the next California attorney general, pending Senate confirmation.

“The California Legislative Black Caucus proudly endorses Mia Bonta for Assembly,” said Bradford. “Diversity in leadership is critical to ensuring equity in policymaking, and as an Afro-Latina woman, Mia offers a perspective that has long been underrepresented in Sacramento.

Her experience advocating for children and families in her community and deep understanding of today’s policy issues would make Mia a valuable addition to the state Legislature. I and the Caucus will be working to make her success a reality.”

Weber says she wants to continue her mother’s legacy as she

works to ensure that “we build a better tomorrow that improves the future for all Californians.”

In her victory statement, Weber said, “Tonight’s win and these results are staggering; I am deeply honored and humbled by the faith that the voters have placed in me.

My campaign is focused on one mission: creating healthier communities for everyone who lives and works in the 79th district.”

Weber, a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, is expected to be sworn into the Assembly this month.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee joined a federal lawsuit on April 7 filed by the NAACP and Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson accusing Donald J. Trump, Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers of conspiring to incite a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, with the goal of preventing Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election.

The lawsuit, initially filed in February, alleges that by preventing Congress from carrying out its official duties, Trump, Giuliani and the hate groups directly violated the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act. NAACP president, Derrick Johnson says of Trump that he “ . . . meticulously organized [a] coup . . . that place[d] members of Congress and the integrity of our democracy in peril.”

A federal statute was passed after the Civil war to “combat violence from the Ku Klux Klan.” The law allows civil actions to be brought against

What Oakland’s Homeless Audit Says About Evictions, Policing, and Fire

By Zack Haber

On April 14, Oakland’s City Auditor Courtney Ruby released an audit of the city’s homeless encampment management interventions and activities for the fiscal years 2018-19 and 2019-2020. The 95-page report includes data and estimations about interventions, populations, costs, and availability of services related to homeless people and their communities.

Claiming that the city “lacked an effective strategy… and did not provide sufficient policy direction or adequate funding,” Ruby also included recommendations for better addressing homeless communities. Although the audit was vast in its analysis, this guide attempts to outline key points from the audit related only to evictions and hygiene services, police response and costs, and

These interventions are lumped together and lack individual data, meaning that the audit did not report precise data on how often the city provided trash pick-up to homeless communities.

In unity, we will move towards finding solutions for the safety of all people, notwithstanding your age, race, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability.

We stand as one community grieving and healing as we move towards finding real solutions to effect change as we seek to strengthen police and community relations.

We extend our deepest condolences to George Floyd’s family and all communities.

Greenlining Institute President and CEO Debra Gore-Mann:

“Today, we experienced a small measure of justice as Derek Chauvin was convicted and the killing of George Floyd was recognized as the criminal act it was. But we shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking that one conviction of one cop for a killing the whole world witnessed on video will change a fundamentally racist and dysfunctional system.

The whole law enforcement system must be rethought and rebuilt from the ground up so that there are no more George Floyds, Daunte Wrights and Adam Toledos. But even that is

just a start.

“Policing doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Systemic racism exists in policing because systemic racism exists in America.

We must fundamentally uproot the disease of racism in our society and create a transformative path forward.”

verdicts on all three complicated murder charges: seconddegree unintentional murder; third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

Trifecta.

To think Chauvin wanted to plead to at least 10 years, but former U.S. Attorney General William Barr wouldn’t approve it because there was fear

that 10 wouldn’t be seen as severe enough.

Now Chauvin, whose bail was revoked and sent back into custody, could get up to 40 years.

A triumph for the people.

And for diversity. A system so biased toward the cops was beaten.

It happens.

Savor it peacefully and think of others who have come up empty-handed in their quest for justice. Let this be an energizing reminder, how alive justice can make us all feel.

In Oakland, the state gave billionaire Eli Broad and his Broad Foundation full freedom to implement corporate strategies in the school district.

“no audits” of how they spent district money, he said. “OUSD partially emerged from state receivership in 2009, but it was $89 million in debt, much more than the original $37 million (in 2003).”

He said the state overseers are pushing a “replacement strategy” to close schools. “We are witnessing the removal of Black and Brown populations from the schools” and the city, he said.

He said the community should call on Gov. Gavin

Newsom, who is facing a recall and “is available to be pressured by all of us” to audit FCMAT. The community can make similar demands of Rob Bonta when he becomes state attorney general and also ask candidates for Bonta’s soon-to-be vacated Assembly seat to step up and fight for the independence of the local school district, he said.

California Elected Officials, Civic Leaders React to George Floyd Verdict

By Antonio Ray Harvey, Bo Tefu & Tanu Henry, California Black Media

“The hard truth,” Gov. Newsom said in an April 20 statement, “is that if George Floyd looked like me, he’d still be alive today.” Newsom made the remark after a Hennepin County jury found Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, 45, guilty in the murder of George Floyd.

The jury convicted Chauvin on two counts of murder, homicide and one of manslaughter, for pinning his knee on the neck of Floyd for nine minutes and 29 seconds on May 25, 2020.

The California governor joined other Golden State officials to speak out about the verdict and the enduring problems of police violence against unarmed citizens, particularly African American suspects.

“No conviction can repair the harm done to George Floyd and his family, but today’s verdict provides some accountability as we work to root out the racial injustice that haunts

our society,” the governor continued. “We must continue the work of fighting systemic racism and excessive use of force.
