Faith Leaders Call for Accountability Over Negligence, Deaths at Santa Rita Jail

Report: A’s Could Get to Use Howard Terminal for Stadium By Keith Burbank Bay City News
A key Bay Area commission may reverse a setback dealt to the Oakland A’s plans to build a new waterfront ballpark. Staff for the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission said in a report released Monday that the land where the A’s propose to build the ballpark is not needed by the Port of Oakland. That announcement could reverse a setback in March when the commission’s Seaport Planning Advisory Committee recommended the land be maintained for maritime use. The report released Monday is a preliminary recommendation on the land known as Charles P. Howard Terminal. The commission is expected to decide June 30 whether to accept the recommendation. Monday’s “report is great news for Oakland and our region,” Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said in a statement. “The best use of a dormant Howard Terminal is to convert it into a thriving waterfront ballpark neighborhood.” Port of Oakland officials also agreed with the recommendation. “This is an important step that will allow the Port of Oakland, City of Oakland and the A’s to continue making progress on the proposed project’s
economic and community benefits potential to transform the Oakland waterfront,” port officials said in a statement Tuesday. “The Port Commissioners will be able to move forward with planning efforts at the Howard property and the integration of Jack London Square into the project,” port officials added. An affirmative vote by the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission next month would be a key step toward a new A’s ballpark in Oakland. Such a vote would remove Continued on Page 10
Alameda County’s Santa Rita jail, run by Sheriff Gregory Ahern, has been the target of multiple lawsuits over jail conditions and has had the most in-custody deaths in Northern California: at least 58 in-custody deaths since 2014, including 19 suicides. We lift up the names of the two most recent to die in Santa Rita - Marcos Garibay and Larry Roberson. Their families are among many who have been given conflicting and incomplete information about their deaths by the sheriff. A demonstration is planned for Tuesday May 24 at 11:30 a.m. at the Board of Supervisors

on Oak and 12th streets in Oakland to protest a culture of death at the jail and this dysfunctional incarceration system. Join us in our call for accountability. The U.S. Justice Department recently found our county jail violates Constitutional rights and subjects the 40% of persons in custody who need mental health services to “unlawful harm.” The sheriff has also evaded a county ban on collaboration of local law enforcement with ICE.

“Whose City? Our City!” – Teachers and Port Workers Strike to Stop Corporate Privatizers By Ken Epstein
In a show of growing strength, Oakland teachers and longshore workers held simultaneous one-day strikes and rallies together on April 29 to stop billionaires and corporations, backed by elected Democrats, who seek to gentrify the city by closing as many as half of Oakland’s public schools and giving away public funds and public land to build a $12-billion luxury real estate project and baseball stadium at the Port.
Fife: Emergency Homeless Intervention Could House 1,000 at Army Base Parcels
Special to The Post
At the May 3 special meeting of the Oakland City Council, members approved a resolution introduced by Councilmember Carroll Fife directing the City Administrator to study the feasibility of establishing an emergency homeless intervention site to house 1,000 individuals at the North Gateway Parcel located at the former Oakland Army Base. According to the resolution, the findings must be returned to the Council no later than the first Council meeting of June. Over 40 constituents emailed the City Council in support of the resolution. Many shared being appalled at the state of homelessness in the City and urged the City Administrator to treat it as the emergency crisis that it is. Several constituents called into the meeting including residents currently living near Custom Alloy Scrap Sales (CASS) and California Waste Solutions

A Reflection on Motherhood Rev. Dr. Martha C. Taylor
M other ’s Day is a very special day in all communities. It’s that time of year when the sale of Hallmark cards quadruples, teleflorists spike the price of flowers and See’s Candies hires extra workers. Even with a reservation, restaurants make you wait in long lines. Mother’s Day is a time set aside to show the one you call ‘mother’ special appreciation with gestures of love. African Americans embrace motherhood in unique ways. There are biological mothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, and guardians. We have enduring terms for ‘mother’ such as Madea, Mama. The strength of
mothers come in all sizes. Big Mama can be short, 4’5” and is still be called Big Mama. Lil’ Mama can be 5’9”, and still be called Little Mama. It is not unusual, for grandmothers to be first responders and caregivers for their grandchildren. For the most part, mothers are brave, courageous, and will stand by their children through thick and thin, regardless of whether they are successful, or even those who have fallen by the wayside. Christian mothers have a strong belief in God –somehow, God will make a way out of no way. Even when going through trials and tribulations Christian mothers will be singing – “Troubles don’t last always.” Mother’s Day also brings a mixture of happy and hurt feelContinued on Page 10

Critical Race Theory: An Academic Concept, Not a Threat To Children By Daisha Williams
Since late 2020, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been at the center of furious controversies. Despite all the heated arguments, many people still do not understand what Critical Race Theory is. Sometimes viewing it as part of vast conspiracy, right wing politicians and parents have often claimed CRT teaches children to hate White people. Today CR is still an important topic of discussion. The theory was brought up in Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings when Republican senators attempted to discredit Jackson claiming she was a proponent of CRT being taught in K-12 schools. Critical Race Theory was first developed in the 1970s and ‘80s, soon after the Civil Rights Movement. The phrase was coined by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, an activist and professor at UCLA Law and Columbia Law school. As an academic and legal framework, CRT was intended for graduate students. The subject is more multifaceted than most in the media have made it out to be and is far too complex to be taught in K-12 schools. A major aspect of CRT is that it rejects the idea of “color-blindness,” acknowledging that racism is more than individual prejudice and is instead systemic. CRT teaches that racism is something deeply embedded in the United States legal system due to centuries of race-based

oppression. According to the New York Times, Crenshaw said, “[CRT] is a way of seeing, attending to, accounting for, tracing and analyzing the ways that race is produced, the ways that racial inequality is facilitated, and the ways that our history has created these inequalities that now can be almost effortlessly reproduced unless we attend to the existence of these inequalities.” CRT has become a catch-all for all topics regarding race, inequality, White privilege, and oppression. Opposition to the law graduate theory has been distorted into a movement that created outrage and evolved into attempts to justify banning books about anti-racism in K-12 schools. This movement began with one right-wing PR person who spread misinformation through outlets like Fox News and galvanized White parents to protest. Many parents reacted similarly to one parent who wrote an essay about an all-girls private school named Brearley, which had created discussions surrounding anti-racism. In
the essay the parent wrote, “Brearley, by adopting critical race theory, is advocating the abhorrent viewpoint that Blacks should forever be regarded as helpless victims, and are incapable of success regardless of their skills, talents, or hard work. What Brearley is teaching our children is precisely the true and correct definition of racism.” Brearley, and other schools in this country are not adopting CRT in their curriculums. They are bringing conversations about race into the classroom, straying away from White-washed versions of history that has neglected true American history for decades. Unfortunately, to people who aren’t educated on these matters, the Brearly parent’s arguments and fears seem justified. Many of the “concerned parents” that were featured on Fox News were people manipulating the facts for their own political agendas. Grievances like these were dramatized by Fox News and are magnified through social media until they became a part of mainstream media.
It was during a health careers summer program at the University of Michigan that Alexa Irene Canady (b. 1950) decided to pursue medicine. Her undergraduate degree was in zoology, but she was convinced that continuing her studies at the university’s medical school was what she wanted. It was the “summer after my junior year,” Canady was quoted as saying. “I worked in Dr. Bloom’s lab in genetics and attended a genetic counseling clinic. I fell in love with medicine.” And she never regretted her decision. Her initial interest was internal medicine. After being introduced to neurosurgery, she changed her path. But not everyone supported her decision. Some of Canady’s advisors attempted to discourage her from following through on her plans. She experienced difficulties in obtaining an internship. But those roadblocks didn’t impede her dream. After graduating cum laude from medical school (1975), she joined Yale-New Haven Hospital in Bridgeport, Conn., as a surgical intern. When her internship ended, she moved on to the University of Minnesota. There she served as a resident of the university’s department of neurosurgery,

making her the first Black female neurosurgery resident in the United States. When her residency ended, she became the first Black female neurosurgeon. “The greatest challenge I faced in becoming a neurosurgeon was believing it was possible,” Canady is famously quoted. But the road to success was not without challenges. Canady admits that she came close to dropping out of college because “I had a crisis of confidence.” But knowing there was a chance to win a minority scholarship in medicine, “it was an instant connection.” Despite her qualifications and high GPA, she could not escape prejudices and micro-aggressive comments. On her first day at Yale-New Haven, Canady recalls tending to a patient when a hospital ad-
ministrator passed by and commented: “Oh, you must be our new equal-opportunity package.” The tables turned when a few years later at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, her fellow physicians voted her one of the top residents. During her 22-year career as a neurosurgeon, Canady worked with young patients facing life-threatening illnesses, gunshot wounds, head trauma, hydrocephaly, and other brain injuries or diseases. Most were age 10 or younger. Canady shares that her biggest career obstacle was convincing the neurosurgery chairman that she was “not a risk to drop out or be fired, a disaster in a program where there are only one or two residents per year. I was the first African American woman [in the department]. Along with that, my other greatest obstacle was convincing myself that someone would give me a chance to work as a neurosurgeon.” She admits that she was worried that “because I [am] a Black woman, any practice opportunities would be limited. By being patient-centered, the practice’s growth was exponential.” Read more about Canady’s journey to overcoming racial prejudice, patriarchy, and sexism in “Dr Alexa Irene Canady: The Incredible Story of the First Black Woman to Become a Neurosurgeon” by Isabel Carson.
Black GOP Candidates Tap Into Voter Frustrations in 2022 Election Cycle
By Tanu Henry, California Black Media
There are 12 Black Republicans running in statewide races across California this election year. Come June 7, when the primaries are held, many of them – already longshots without local or statewide political experience – will likely be eliminated from competing in the November general elections. Either way it goes, some of the Black Republican candidates California Black Media (CBM) has spoken with say they have already made a difference. They entered their races to represent Californians who are frustrated with the policies coming out of the Democratic-run Legislature in Sacramento and their ideas and opposition on problems from homelessness and affordable housing to education and the environment have already begun to influence political conversations at the state, county

and municipal levels across California. “I really think 2020 woke up a lot of people to get involved in legislation -- find out how a lot of things work,” said Pastor Brian Hawkins, a San Diego native and San Jacinto city councilmember who is a Black Republican candidate running to defeat U.S. Congressman Raul Ruiz. Ruiz is a Democrat representing California’s 36th Congressional District but due to
redistricting is running to represent the 25th Congressional District. “People are starting to question political motives, people are questioning the education system, the model that’s been the same for hundreds of years. So, I think people are hungry for something different and this gives us an opportunity,” he said. Recently, CBM spoke with another Black Republican candidate Shawn Collins who is running for governor. Critics say Collins’ attempt to become governor is ambitious because he is barely known in the state’s political circles and last week the California Republican Party endorsed another candidate, former California State Senate Minority Leader Brian Dahle (R-Bieber), for governor. But Collins, 41, an attorney, father, and U.S. Navy veteran who lives in Orange County, says his message is connecting with people. “I tell people that California’s problems are so big right now, they transcend politics,” he said. “And what I mean by that is there are certain issues in this state right now that impact you whether you’re a Democrat or Republican.” Last week, Collins spoke with CBM about his decision to run for governor of California.

California Agencies Say They Want More Black Californians to Access Jobs, Training By Aldon Thomas Stiles, California Black Media
Last week, the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board, and the Riverside County Workforce Development Board held a summit at the March Field Air Museum in Riverside to discuss persistent employment and labor challenges. The main challenge, they say, is achieving equity. “A vital component for the equitable economic and sustainable future of California will be determined on the vision and strategic investments in fast-growing regions like the Inland Empire,” said Angelo Farooq, chairman of the California Workforce Development Board. “We are proud of the multitude of High Road apprenticeship grants for employers/ workers that our board has been making in the region and its continued impact to support quality jobs for the local economy,” Farooq added. Equity has become a national buzzword. But what does it mean when it comes to labor and employment? The state says it aims to make that definition clear and make it work for all Californians, particularly African Americans. “Inclusive and equitable. Let’s talk about those two words because I love them and I hate them,” said the event’s keynote speaker Secretary Natalie Palugyai of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency. “I hate them because they get watered down and thrown around, and people really don’t even know what they’re talking about anymore and when people throw

those words out, I want to know exactly what they mean because if they don’t mean something behind it, we’re actually not going to get to those lofty goals.” Palugyai provided her own definition for what these goals should look like. “Getting people in the door, that’s equity,” said Palugyai. “If I have an African American population and they aren’t participating in my program, but they represent 10% of my region, what am I doing?” Palugyai said that the state, traditionally, has not invested in these efforts in an equitable way. “Let’s just be really frank about this; economic development, state investments, infrastructure, [and] workforce training and development has been done the same way for a long time and what has really changed?” Palugyai asked the room full of workforce officials and sponsors.
The summit panel consisted of workforce representatives from the state and both Inland Empire counties, as well as community leaders throughout the region. They all spoke about the importance of equity while acknowledging the systemic challenges they’ve faced in that pursuit. The Economic Policy Institute, and other sources tracking job data, say Black unemployment in California remains higher than the statewide average. At the state level, the California Labor & Workforce Development Agency wants regional offices to maintain some independence to help encourage participation from the Black community. “We haven’t been great at outreach,” Palugyai admitted. “During COVID, we learned that the only proper way to do Continued on page 5

CEO of Oakland A’s Addresses Community Concerns By Tanya Dennis

Looming Fire Season Inspires Climate Change Solutions By Daisha Williams
Climate change is affecting the Bay Area and greater Northern California in ways that have become more obvious yearafter-year. One of the most noticeable examples is the fire season. Every year, from the summer months into late fall extreme wildfires occur throughout California causing the air quality levels in the Bay Area to worsen. This year the fire season may come sooner than usual due to the recent dry weather. “We have a record of 33 days. 33 consecutive days, which is the longest we’ve ever gone without precipitation during December through February,” said Scientist Andrew Schwartz at UC Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snow Lab according to NBC Bay Area. Record breaking temperatures has also been increasing the past few years. NBC uses the data of a Berkeley weather station to support this. In the last decade the station recorded an average of 15 days per year where the temperature exceeded 85 degrees, with some years having as many as 30 days. Previously that average was only 5 days.
Oakland’s sea level have risen 8 inches over the last 100 years, according to ClimateChangeResources.org. Sea levels rising can cause wetland flooding, destructive erosion, lost habitat for fish, birds, and plants, as well as other harmful effects to the ecosystem. There is a plan to address climate change in the Oakland area. Oakland’s Equitable Climate Action Plan (ECAP) was passed in July of 2020. The plan is intended to result in cleaner air, more green jobs, resilient communities, better economic security, all while minimizing the contribution to climate change. The City Council also adopted a 2045 Carbon Neutrality Goal which calls for a cut down in Oakland’s greenhouse gas emissions and “deep decarbonization.” The EPAC plan can be viewed on Oakland’s website. The committee for this plan includes 13 members and 2 alternates that were appointed by Oakland Mayor Libby Shaft. They have had thirteen meetings, the most recent one being a special meeting. This meeting was on August 14, 2020. Audio recordings, notes, as well as agendas for all of their meetings can be found on their website.
Oakland A’s President David Kaval was surprised to learn that concerns expressed by the original designers of the Howard Terminal had all but been ignored by city and business leaders who are pressing to build a new stadium and housing at the site and has vowed to investigate. Amid the flurry of lawsuits, protests and community concerns regarding the City of Oakland and Oakland A’s stadium project at the Port of Oakland, the most worrisome issue was posed by Frederick Jordan, CEO of FEJA, the engineers that designed the Howard Terminal. According to Jordan, the Environmental Impact Report reveals what he described as a lack of information regarding safety with the quay wall that supports Howard Terminal, where the largest cranes in North America operate. The terminal also provides a turning basin for ships as large as high-rise buildings. Kaval wonders why there has been no response to Jordan’s concerns, despite the fact that Jordan reaching out to the City, the A’s and

the Port last year. “It is problematic to me that Jordan was never contacted, and I don’t have an answer why he wasn’t, but I’ll investigate,” Kaval said. “The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers are making an assessment, and one of the key concessions on the table is 10 acres of land to be set aside to accommodate these large container ships.” When informed of Kaval’s response, Jordan expressed relief. “I feel assured knowing the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is making an assessment, as they cannot be bought nor influenced.” Kaval also indicated that the SSA terminals and the Old America Seaport at the Oakland Army Base can be utilized for the larger

As part of a commitment made by Indigenous students to support urban Indigenous communities Mills College in Oakland, CA hosted the Biennial Powwow on Sunday, April 3, 2022. Supported by the Bay Area’s Native community, attending events like these can be a great way to support the Indigenous community. “Just staying a while and not rushing off, joining the circle,” said Prishni Murillo when asked how Non-Native people can remain respectful and supportiv. Murillo is an Indegeneous woman and mother who is active in the community. She attends powwows regularly

candidates are running in 37 of the elections. That’s 25.5% of the races. Blacks make up 5.8% of California’s population. In nine of the contests more than one Black candidate is competing. Party affiliations represented are: 36 Democrat, 11 Republican, four No-Party Preference, two Nonpartisan, one Green and one Peace and Freedom. In six statewide contests, 12 Black candidates are on the ballot. Two candidates are incumbents. One is Dr. Shirley Weber, who was appointed California’s first Black SOS by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021, replacing California’s current junior U.S. Sen Alex Padilla. This will be the first time Weber has run for office statewide.
gentrification and displacement, with $50 million going towards displacement, money to help local homeowners renovate their homes, including 35% of housing construction for low-income citizens. Our mix of grants and loans will help keep people in their homes and retain the cultural relevance of the neighborhood.” Kaval indicated that despite opponents’ concerns of gentrification, he believes it will happen naturally if not for the money this project will generate to retain the existing culture. “Good-paying jobs will help people maintain and stay in their homes.” Kaval said he understands that the A’s parallel process of courting two cities simultaneously appears disingenuous to the public. “We’ve been in Oakland for 55 years and we want to stay here but we must be realistic. We’re spending $2 million a month to keep this project going and we’re running out of time, and still have not got approval. The League is putting pressure on us, our lease is through in 2024, and these projects take time. We hope something comes to fruition and we have a resolution this summer.”
edgement. A land acknowledgement is a formal statement recognizing the fact that the land currently being used was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples. The goal of the recognition is to create mindful awareness of indigenous history within the United States. A section of the powwow was set aside to honor Dr. Melinda Micco. Micco is Seminole, Choctaw, a Creek activist, filmmaker, and author. She has published many articles including “Tribal Re-Creations: Buffalo Child Long Lance and Black Seminole Narratives,” in Vol. 16 of Literary Studies East and West (Summer, 1999). The film project that she is currently working on is titled Every Step A Prayer: Refinery Corridor Healing Walks. Indegenous independent artist Rhonda “Honey” DuVall also performed. Her inspirational music is a mix of Hip Hop and Soul. To learn more about her, visit her website voiceofhoney.com “Our powwow Committee
is dedicated to continuing Indigenous culture and traditions at Mills and in the larger Indigenous communities,” said event organizers according to Oaklandside.org Many similar events are coming up including the 28th Annual Suscol Intertribal Powwow on October 1-2nd in Napa, CA, and the 13th annual Annual SIR Pow Wow on June 24-26th in Susanville, CA. More local ones include the 10th anniversary Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits (BAAITS) Powwow.

California ’22 Primary Election: Black Candidates Running for Statewide Office
On June 7, California will conduct a primary election -the first opportunity for voters to elect candidates in newly drawn districts based on the 2020 U.S. census. Registered voters will automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot no later than May 9, with the option to return it to a secure drop box, or vote in-person up to 10 days before the election for those living in Voter’s Choice Act (VCA) counties. For those not registered to vote, same day registration is possible up until 8 p.m. on Election Day. The candidates running to fill eight statewide constitutional offices (governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state (SOS), attorney general, controller, state superintendent of public instruction, insurance commissioner and treasurer) and one California U.S. Senate seat will be listed on all primary ballots. The primaries for the four positions on the Board of Equalization, the 52 U.S. Congressional, 80 State Assembly, and 20 State Senate seats are listed based on district. There are 40 State Senators. They serve staggered fouryear terms. Twenty of them representing even-numbered districts are up for election this year. Statewide, there are 145 elections being held to fill these state and federal offices. California Black Media (CBM) reports that 55 Black
containers. Also, 30 acres of the outer Port area will be dedicated for the same purpose so that the community concerns on the project negatively impacting Chinatown, Fruitvale and the Lower Bottoms are addressed. “Trucks are currently going through the neighborhood to get to Howard terminal,” Kaval said. “Enforcement of established truck staging areas that are not in people’s neighborhoods must occur, and the ballpark project is going to force the Port and the City to build those areas out, which probably won’t happen if this project doesn’t go forward. “We’ve worked closely with the City for four years to address the concerns of the public because the last thing we want is to repeat the mistakes of past sports entities in Oakland when they left the City,” Kaval said. Another important concern for Kaval is race and equity-based jobs and opportunities. “We’ve worked with the city to establish critical criteria to address internal staffing at the A’s to assure diversity, small business support and minority hiring. Our baseline report addressed the glaring need of countering
The other is Tony Thurmond, California’s second Black State Superintendent of Public Instruction. He was elected in 2018 in a close contest. There are no Black candidates on the ballot running for attorney general or treasurer. Governor Running for re-election as the state’s chief executive officer, Newsom faces 25 other candidates on the ballot. Four of those candidates are Black. Shawn Collins is a Republican, an attorney, and a Navy combat veteran. He says, “We can and will make California the best place to start a small business, give parents a real voice in their children’s educations, and bring compassion and law and order together to end the human tragedies on our
streets.” Serge Fiankan is an entrepreneur and has a No Party Preference designation. He says, “As your governor, I will change the status quo and address the real problems we are facing with measurable actions.” Woodrow “Woody” Sanders III is an entrepreneur/director/engineer and has a No Party Preference designation. Sander’s passion is for restoring California’s “crown as the best state in the union.” Major Williams is a Republican Businessman. He ran as write-in candidate during Gov. Newsom’s recall election and received 8,965 votes. His campaign slogan is, “It’s time to think major.” Lt. Governor Incumbent Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is running against a field of seven candidates. Angela E. Underwood Jacobs is a Black Republican businesswoman/deputy mayor running against her. Jacobs was the first African American woman elected to serve on the Lancaster City Council. Secretary of State Shirley Weber has six opponents for SOS. Before her appointment, Weber served four terms as an Assemblymember representing California’s 79th Assembly District. She is committed to making California the national leader in running inclusive, trustworthy, and transparent elections – expanding the franchise to more of our citizens, ensuring election seContinued on page 9

outreach is through community organizations that are connected to the people we’re trying to serve. The old ways of us doing it are just not cutting it anymore.” She brought up an example of the state supporting regional equity efforts: the Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF) which would provide aid to counties based on their needs following the COVID-19 pandemic. “You want outreach from the people who look like you that are probably going to understand you more,” Palugyai said. In Riverside County, these challenges are prevalent, according to Leslie Trainor, deputy director of the Riverside County Workforce Development Centers. However, she reports that they have been working on said challenges. “One of the things we did was look at the numbers of the customers that we’re serving because we wanted to make sure that we were at least serving the number of African Americans in proportion to the number of African Americans in the general population of Riverside County and we are in fact serving a slightly higher percentage,” said Trainor. She admitted there are “systemic issues to tackle.” Patrick Ellis, chairman of the Riverside County Workforce Development Board, emphasizes that just getting Black people jobs is not enough to solve the problem. “I don’t think we can achieve equity if we don’t pay a lot of attention to job quality,” said Ellis. “We have a lot of poor people in California, and we have a lot of poor people in the Inland Empire. Most poor people work, often more than one job.” Trainor said that the Riverside County Workforce Development Centers can offer help with upskilling, resume updating, mock interviews, and job searches but some people are not aware of these services. Because of this, Riverside County Workforce Development Centers are looking to connect with the Black community through Black-led community-based organizations, as is the plan for the state’s workforce development programs. The state and the two Inland Empire counties plan to make this summit an annual event.

conversation. It has been edited for concision and clarity. CBM: Why are you running for Governor? COLLINS: My primary motivation is my family -- my wife, and my four young children. I’m genuinely concerned about my children being able to start lives and develop careers here in California because the state has become so anti-business. The governor’s race excites me because I track our K through 12 education. California is ranked 40 out of 50 states. How is that possible? This is the fifth-largest economy in the world. We have a budget of over $300 billion. We have a surplus of over $31 billion and our teachers are some of the highest paid in all of America. You have to ask: why is our public education system so bad? How do we fix it? It is one of the first things I’ll focus on when I become governor. The Hoover Institute has been tracking this program in Dallas – in the community that I grew up in, actually. They incentivize highperforming teachers in other school districts to come to lower income communities and try to make an impact. They say, “right now only two out of 10 kids are reading at their grade level. If you can get that up to four out of 10, there’s $50,000 attached to that.” It’s in its second year right now and test scores have already dramatically improved. CBM: What do you think about the growing school choice movement that a lot of conservatives support? COLLINS: I’ve always been an advocate of school choice because it puts pressure on the school district to perform. If they don’t perform, their schools will lose funding. CBM: What gives you the confidence that you as a Republican can win in California, one of the most Democratic states in the country? COLLINS: Well, I’ll start with my background. You know, first of all, I’m not
LEGALS creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: DAVID COSSOCK A Petition for Probate has been filed by DOUGLAS E. LOVEDAY in the Superior Court of California, County of ALAMEDA. The Petition for Probate requests that DOUGLAS E. LOVEDAY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. 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 JUNE 1, 2022 at 9:45 A.M. in Dept. 202 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
your traditional Republican. They’ve never seen any Republican candidate like me. And what I mean by that is I was not born into the Republican Party. You’re looking at a person that grew up in a very Democrat household. My dad was an electrician, and he was a single father because my parents divorced when I was three years old. My mom gave my dad primary custody because she was very intimidated by having to raise two young boys by herself. CBM: How do you convince Black and other minority voters to support your candidacy? COLLINS: I grew up in difficult circumstances, so I understand the hurt that average Californians are feeling right now. I can use that personal experience to implement policy that will make substantial changes to individuals’ lives. CBM: How is your plan for tackling homelessness better than what Democrats have done? COLLINS: Democrats have thrown $13 billion at the problem over the past five years,

and it’s gotten worse. We have to stop this “housing first” policy. The assumption is that if you can provide a home for every single homeless person in the state of California -- which is in excess of 160,000 at this point -- the security of a home will somehow transform them. When you look at the breakdown of our homeless population in the state, roughly a third are homeless because of life circumstances, meaning they lost their job, or some type of catastrophic economic event. That’s one-third. The other two-thirds are drug addicted or mentally ill. So, if you’re talking about a housing option for that one-third, OK, you’re on the right track. My policy would be to have more drug addiction and mental health services. If the drug addict or the mentally ill person says, “I don’t want your help,” then we have to implement tough love. You have to accept the help or go to jail, but you can’t live on the street because that’s not compassion. CBM: Public safety is a big issue right now. A lot of conser-

Black Mental Health, Part 4
Spearitwurx, a Healing Leader in the Black Community By Tanya Dennis
April 20th, Spearitwurx, an Oakland-based organization co-created by husband-andwife team, Sizwe AndrewsAbakah and Mizan AlkebulanAbakah, MPH, launched the “I am Because We Are” Cultural Healing campaign to bring awareness to the need for culturally-based healing throughout the nation. This campaign will highlight Sizwe’s Radical Healing Music as they release the video “Plant Medicine” that will be released via youtube.com/SpearOfTheNationMusic. They also have “I am Because We Are” Affirmation Cards. These cards are part of a Wellness Box available for purchase on their website: www.speariwturx.com. Spearitwurx’s mission is to inspire intergenerational wellness & racial healing. The Abakah’s “create experiences to transform lives” through cultural events, conferences, professional development workshops, and intergenerational wellness coaching for schools, organizations, businesses, and governments. Sizwe says that, “Our focus has transformed since our inception in 2004. We began as a labor of love, facilitating gender-specific healing circles for youth in West Oakland. In 2006, we opened an independent Black school called Spearitwurx School of Science & Culture. In 2008, we closed our school and integrated our direct service work into public schools and organizations. After working with many different organizations, we decided to build Spearitwurx full-time in 2016. We expanded our consulting services and began to integrate our art into our offerings. In 2019, we coordinated our 1st Annual Powerful Parent Conference for Black and Brown Families. That same year, we expanded our flagship program, the Experience Sankofa Project (ESP)- a living museum of African History and brought it to Youth Uprising, the “Life is Living Festival”, and Stanford University. With great momentum, we opened the Spearitwurx Center

of Culture & Wellness as the semi-permanent home for ESP in Feb 2020. Two weeks later, COVID shut everything down. Since then, we have worked virtually, consulting for organizations and government agencies to dismantle racism and support artist activism.” Over the past year, Spearitwurx has worked with OUSD to support community listening sessions to inform the implementation of the Reparations for Black Students and Families resolution, as well as facilitate a series of healing centered anti-racist education for four OUSD Middle Schools. They co-coordinated the Bese Saka Capacity building Initiative for eighteen Bayaarea Black led organizations with the Brotherhood of Elders, and are are active partners with the Black Cultural Zone Collaborative where they co-lead the Arts & Culture workgroup. They host free Mindful Movement sessions every first & third Sunday at the BCZ’s Akoma Market in Liberation Park (73rd & Foothill) at 11am to support community mental health to build stress resilience. Says Mizan, “We believe deeply in the concept of Ubuntu or “ I am because we are”. We all have a role to play in bringing about liberation. We understand that racial justice and social transformation occur at three levels: Personal, interpersonal, and institu-
tional: Personal transformation focuses on our values, experiences, aspirations, and identity. Who are we and what do we value? For Black folks in America, we must undo the layers of internalized white supremacy that block us from our fullest expression of ourselves. Our Interpersonal transformation shifts relationships from transactional to transformative which cultivates our highest expression of humanity. We must build trust for our Movement to progress, and to create collaborative, not competitive, interactions to not impede our collective progress. As we grow personally and interpersonal, we must create institutional transformation that focuses on dismantling policies of inequity and shifting resources to improve community sustainability. We want to be sure that Black-led organizations, as well as businesses, organizations, and governments that serve Black families, do not perpetuate oppressive and toxic practices. Rather, let’s create ways of operating that align with our highest values, so that we thrive, expressing our best selves, while supporting the needs of the masses of people.” For more information go to: www.spearitwurx.com or IG: @SpearitwurxOakland or email: spearitwurx@gmail. com

curity and empowering voters to make informed decisions. She is the only Black candidate running for SOS. State Controller State Controller Betty Yee is termed out this year. Among six candidates running to replace her is Malia Cohen the first African American woman to serve on the Board of Equalization. Cohen wants to make sure the tax code is fair, that people understand tax incentives are out there to benefit the working class. “I am running because I am committed to equity, empowerment, hope and opportunity for all Californians,” Cohen told CBM. Superintendent of Public Instruction There are six candidates running to replace incumbent Tony Thurmond as State Superintendent of Public Instruction. As the chief of K-12 education in the state, Thurmond was instrumental in marshalling the efforts of the Department of Education to help school districts deal with systemic inequities that the pandemic put a spotlight light on. He is running to achieve his vision that by 2026 all California students will be literate by third grade. For Thurmond,
Black student achievement and student achievement in general have been major priorities. Among his challengers is Black public and charter schoolteacher Ainye E. Long. California Insurance Commissioner Incumbent Ricardo Lara has eight challengers vying to be the next insurance commissioner. Three of his opponents are Black. Veronika Fimbres is a transgender nurse running as the Green Party candidate. Fimbres, a Black Navy veteran, has pledged to use the bully pulpit that would come from being insurance commissioner to push for universal health care in the state. Jasper “Jay” Jackson is a paralegal running as a Democrat. His goal is to deliver transparent and speedy services to the people of California. Vinson Eugene Allen is a medical doctor and businessman running as a Democrat. Allen says, “I will personally address consumer issues and work with insurance carriers for a fair solution to disputes.” U.S. Senator The office of U.S. Senate will have two separate contests on the June 7 ballot. One contest is the regular election for the full six-year term be-
ginning January 3, 2023. The other contest is a special vacancy election, to complete the unexpired Senate term of Vice President Kamala Harris. Sen. Alex Padilla, who was chosen by Gov. Newsom to replace Harris will be competing in both contests. In the fullterm contest, he faces 22 opponents. Five are Black. And in the special vacancy contest he has seven opponents. Two are Black. Black candidates in the full-term US Senate race are: Akinyemi Agbede a mathematician and Democrat; Myron L. Hall podiatric physician and Republican; Daphne Bradford, an education consultant and No Party Preference candidate; Deon D. Jenkins also has a No Ballot Designation and No Party Preference; and John Thompson Parker, a social justice advocate representing the Peace and Freedom Party. Candidates Hall and Bradford are also running in the partial/ unexpired term contest. In the June 7 primary election, the two candidates receiving the most votes advance to the general election. If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (at least 50% plus 1), a general election must still be held.
Rally Calling for Change in Child Welfare System in Sacramento on May 11 By Tanya Dennis
There are over 58,000 children in California who are on welfare or probation supervised placement within the child welfare system. Michelle Chan, founder and director of California Families Rise is organizing a “Families Resist” rally in Sacramento on May 11, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. on the state Capitol steps. The purpose of the Families Resist Rally is to bring child welfare and family court system-impacted families together in racial, reproductive, and poverty justice movements to disrupt, dismantle, reform, and transform the child protection system in California. The keynote speaker will be District 54 Assemblymember Isaac Bryan is the author of AB 1686, a bill that proposes to reduce the number of child support referrals made to pay for children’s cost of foster care. A Los Angeles Democrat, Bryan is an advocate for poor, underfunded communities as well as the working class. California Families Rise was founded in 2021, evolving out of a parents’ rights activist group that Chan started in 2017 called Parents Against CPS Corruption. Chan is a child welfare system-impacted mother who was a nursing student and homemaker before her own child protection case. Her parents’ rights activism grew organically out of what she saw as an unmet need from the commu-
Michelle Chan nity, Chan notes that, “The family policing system in the United States aka Child Protective Services or CPS, has waged war on Black, indigenous and poor families, a population especially vulnerable and overrepresented in “the system.” CPS breaks apart families, and punishes marginalized people, Chan says, also pointing out that “The system is rooted in a history of state sanctioned racial violence. … In practice, the family regulation system shatters the lives of both children and adults by exposing families to longlasting generational trauma, negatively impacting both the physical and mental health of all involved.” Nationwide, Black children account for 14% of the population but represent nearly 25% of CPS cases, and approximately 50% of indigenous children will experience a child welfare investigation before they turn 18. “Poverty is the single most
important predictor of placement in foster care and the amount of time spent there,” Chan said. As with other judicial systems, the system lacks accountability, transparency and oversight and the results are families are too often unnecessarily destroyed and children place in foster and group homes where conditions are worse than in the homes they were removed from, Chan asserts. “Children should be protected and supported by the government by providing services to keep families together instead of assuming parent inability to care,” Chan said. “We believe in empowering families across California, and that is why we are introducing a family bill of rights, to protect our children and their futures. “My greatest hope is that this rally will help to decriminalize and destigmatize family custody issues, whether be it from CPS, Family, or Probate court,” Chan said. “Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor families are especially vulnerable because they often do not have the resources to fight back. I am hoping that on May 11, the families will unite to put an end to this madness once and for all.” For more register for the rally or for more information go to: www.familiesresist.com The Families Resist handbook is the set of demands: https:// familiesresist.com/familiesresist-handbook

supplemental funding through LCFF. “This is not the first time this bill has been introduced. It was previously introduced by my mother, Dr. Shirley Weber, who is now our Secretary of State,” Weber said. “Although we did
not get everything that we wanted, our persistence will ensure this time we will get it passed. We fought hard to make sure we got this hearing.” The language in AB 2774 states that the subgroup identified for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, based on the 2018-19 the
California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) scores “shall be included within the ‘unduplicated’ pupil count until its scores equal or exceeds the highest performing subgroup (Asians).”

A Reflection on Motherhood
“I look forward to reviewing the findings of the report, resolving some of the discrepancies that have been shared, and addressing how the site could still accommodate temporary housing ahead of and concurrent to this development. We need accommodations now.” The June report is expected to be returned by the mid-cycle budget allocation, which will be a revealing moment indicating City of Oakland’s commitment to finding effective solutions to the homelessness crisis. This report comes from the
Our hearts grieve especially for mothers who are imprisoned; they decorate their prison walls with pictures of their children. Songwriter-rapper Tupac Shakur wrote musical lyrics about his mother who struggled to raise him through poverty. Shirley Caesar, a famous gospel singer, wrote the song “No Charge” in response to the little boy who was going to charge his mother for doing chores around the house. The lyrics to the song “I’ll Always Love My Mama,” by the R&B group The Intruders, is a Black man’s testimony on the love of Mother. “She’s my favorite girl, (You only get one, you only get one, yeah) She brought me in this world. – She taught me little things like ‘Say hello’ and ‘thank you’ and ‘please’ while scrubbing those floors on her bended knees.” A walk back in history is a reminder of the horrific experiences Black mothers endured that started in the Middle Passage during the Atlantic Slave Trade era and continues in many ways. The auction block, a place where enslaved African people were treated as material where families were torn apart and sold to the highest bidder. Black women were forced to be slave breeders to keep the slave industry alive. Children grew up motherless while being forced to toil and labor under the yoke of slavery. But through it all, there is a strong belief within most Black mothers that God has not abandoned them. The hand of God elevated Black mothers from slave pits to the White House when Michelle Obama, became First Lady of America. The bond and love between Michelle and her mother was so strong that Marian Shields Robinson retired early to live in the White House to be close to her grandchildren. Michelle and Mother Robinson wanted the sense of normalcy a genuine Black grandma could bring to the everyday life of her grandchildren. The love of grandmothers runs deep in Black families. The only earthly DNA connected to Jesus came from an unwed teenager whom God chose to be the mother of Jesus. Thirty-three years later, Mary stood at the foot of the Cross and watched the crucifixion of her son, Jesus. And lastly, Mary is not the only one to see the light go out of her child’s eyes. Thousands of Black mothers have endured the crucifixion of their young sons and daughters through police brutality. Every Mother is special in some way. Happy Mother’s Day.
School District must honor their agreements – there must be engagement with family and community before taking any actions to close schools. The actions of the majority of the school board have been very disrespectful to parents and the community. We are encouraged by the powerful support for the one-day strike. But it’s only the beginning of the movement to fund our schools and save our schools from closure.” OEA representatives voted at a union meeting this week to “stand in solidarity with ILWU Local 10 and to support their fight to save the Port of Oakland. It’s a continuation of the longtime solidarity between educators of Oakland and longshore workers,” Brown said. “There’s been tremendous support from parents, community and labor in this fight to save our schools, shown by numbers coming out for rallies,” Brown continued. “We need to continue to build from that momentum, to reach out to the faith community and others to organize and educate. We need to work in the November elections to elect school board members who will work with
parents and stakeholders, not run from the community and not hide from the community, not close our neighborhood schools.” Trent Willis, immediate past president of ILWU Local 10 and a leader of S.L.A.P., said the fight to stop privatization of the Port of Oakland is a survival issue for longshore workers. “We have no choice but to oppose the stadium. We’re fighting for our lives,” he said. With only $1 billion of the $12 billion Howard Terminal project designated to build the stadium, Willis said, “This is a real estate deal masquerading as a stadium project. It’s a slick gimmick. Just having the stadium there would be a nightmare for cargo, pedestrians, the rails, transportation. The costs (to the public) would be astronomical to make it safe for people to travel through that area.” He said he liked Councilmember Carroll Fife’s proposal for allowing Oakland voters to decide whether they want to use public funds to build the Port project. People in Oakland “don’t want to spend public money on building the stadium.” Strike actions began early

ings. For many, Mother’s Day is a reminder that mother is no longer here. In some cases, a mother’s only child has died. One mother told me this would be the first year without her son who passed away last year from COVID-19. The death of a child does not mean you are not a mother anymore. Some mothers are doing double duty raising their grandchildren. Some men, as single parents, have assumed the role of both father and mother. All mothers are not “mothers of the church” wearing white dresses, big hats with special reserved seats. Still others have assumed the role of mother through adoption or by extended family. The population of homeless mothers has significantly increased. Some are living with children in broken down automobiles trying to make ends meet for their family while the system professes to be doing a study of their plight. Some mothers are in convalescent homes, many tucked away out of eyesight of the family. Still others are blessed to have family visits.

begin. The report is intended to resolve these discrepancies and put on record a clear construction timeline. This development would still allow most of the site to be used ahead of CASS’s development plans which are expected to be shared in the June report. In response, District 3 Councilmember Carroll Fife said, “It adds insult to injury that this parcel has been vacant for over a decade and it is only now that the public is being told that CWS will soon begin development.

dents. The OEA called the one-day Unfair Labor Practices strike to protest the district’s unilateral decision to close schools this year and next year without consulting the affected school communities The union says this violates a 2019 strike settlement agreement. Seventy-five percent of voting members voted in favor of the strike, and 94% of union members honored the picket lines. Trying to have the strike declared “illegal,” the school district asked the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) for an injunction, but the request was denied. The district asked families to keep their children home from school that Friday. The ILWU shut down the Port of Oakland’s day shift that Friday with a stop-work meeting, which is allowed under the union contract. Later in the afternoon, community members at Port terminals shut down the night shift as longshore workers refused to cross picket lines. OEA President Keith Brown told the Oakland Post, “The reason why educators were forced to take this action is because the Oakland Unified

56 acres from Port land and “would not detract from the region’s capability to meet the projected growth in cargo,” the report says and is a key argument for relinquishing the land to the Oakland A’s. Based on a variety of input, the Oakland A’s have “demonstrated that the cargo forecast can be met with existing terminals,” the report says. The referenced terminals include not just the ones at the Port of Oakland but around the region including, among others, Benicia and Redwood City. But dock workers maintain that the Port needs Howard Terminal to thrive. “It is a nexus between the port cargo area, ILWU (International Longshore and Ware-
house Union) training area, and ship turn-around,” Trent Willis, past president of the ILWU Local 10, said in a statement. “It is critical to keeping trucks off of the streets of West Oakland and is next to a fully functioning industrial railroad.” Monday’s preliminary recommendation is a step toward a new A’s ballpark, but the team has more hurdles to jump. The team is facing two lawsuits, one by the Union Pacific Railroad Company and another by the East Oakland Stadium Alliance, a coalition of marine, port and transportation interests. Both lawsuits are challenging the certification of the ballpark’s environmental impact report, another important part of process to approve the project.
Friday morning with OEA members picketing at school sites throughout the city. Teachers were joined on the picket lines by students and families as well as community members and school workers in AFSCME and SEIU 1021. At a mid-day event, hundreds of teachers and supporters held a “Save Our Schools” block party at Lake Merritt with interactive activities and warm solidarity, along with a lot of education on how school closures and privatization negatively impact Black students and other students of color. A joint rally of teachers, port workers and community members took place at 2:00 p.m. in Oscar Grant Plaza in front of Oakland City Hall, followed by a short march down Broadway to rally in front of the school district headquarters at 1000 Broadway. At 4:30 p.m., members of the community went to the Port to shut down work on the night shift. An election forum sponsored by S.L.A.P. on Saturday asked candidates for mayor, board of supervisors and county superintendent of schools where they stood on the issues of school closings and privatization of the Port.
SBA and PayPal Conduct Workshops for Minority Businesses By Post Staff A group of distinguished individuals joined the Small Business Association (SBA) and PayPal for a round-table discussion with California business leaders on small business growth as National Small Business Week kicked off in San Francisco on May 2. “What a good start of National Small Business Week (NSBW) to have been joined by SBA Administrator Isabella Castillas Guzman,” said Cathy Adams, president of the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce (OAACC). “It’s a great opportunity for all entrepreneurs.” For more than 50 years, the

Faith Leaders Call for Accountability Over Negligence, Deaths at Santa Rita Jail
Continued from page 1
The county continues to hemorrhage millions of taxpayer dollars on settlements and legal fees for this mismanagement - the most recent costing upwards of $300 million. The Alameda County Sheriff’s Department needs a major transformative intervention. Assembly Bill 1185, recently enacted by the California state Legislature, authorizes civilian oversight boards and a fulltime Inspector General with subpoena power to investigate sheriff’s departments and jails. Our communities can gain accountability for brutal practices by the sheriff and assist supervisors in exercising their legal and fiscal authority to oversee this county department. Sopath Mey, speaking for her Cambodian immigrant family, told us of her cousin Soto’s medical crisis and death in Santa Rita in January 2020: “To this day we don’t understand how he died in custody of the jail and the sheriff. Did he get medical care he needed? … Our family has no resources for an investigation … The sheriff is also the coroner, which raises serious questions. Independent oversight without conflict of interest could tell us learn what happened so we can have peace of mind.” A sheriff’s oversight coalition initiated by Faith In Action East Bay and Oakland’s Coalition for Police accountability including dozens of organizations and clergy of diverse faiths - ACLU of Northern California, Alameda County Public Health Commission, SEIU Local 1021, Oakland Education Association, Brotherhood of Elders, National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, and working closely with the League of Women Voters - researched essential principles for effective independent civilian oversight: - A community selection panel process that is open and transparent to create a representative oversight board insulated from politics and the sheriff’s influence. - Legal counsel for a civilian oversight board and inspector general that is fully independent of the County Counsel’s conflicts of interest representing the sheriff in lawsuits against the county. - A dedicated funding stream to ensure adequate staff of in-
vestigators working with an experienced, full-time inspector general. - Access to records and testimony, regular public meetings and reports to the community and the Board of Supervisors (BOS.) Elected officials - including the sheriff - must be held accountable. Civilian oversight with subpoena power can conduct independent investigations and recommend necessary change to the Board of Supervisors - who have the ultimate power of budgeting tax dollars. Working with a full-time inspector general, they will investigate jail deaths, in-custody conditions, conduct of the sheriff’s deputies and can help identify alternatives to the county’s current cruel and costly mass incarceration of individuals with mental health challenges. We must bring the sheriff’s operations into alignment with constitutional law enforcement, our community’s ethical values and the public trust.

Supreme Court Could Overturn Roe v. Wade By Brandon Patterson
A leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion on an abortion case the Court heard earlier this term indicated that the Court is poised to overturn the nearly 50-year-old precedent set by Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that affirmed a woman’s right to abortion nationwide. The draft opinion set off alarms nationwide, including in the Bay Area, where protesters rallied outside government buildings in Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose this week, as women’s rights advocates, Democratic elected officials, and pro-choice supporters prepared to push back against a potential overturning of Roe. The draft opinion was published first by DC-based news organization POLITICO. Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the leaked document in a published statement on Tuesday but said that the document did not represent the final decision of the Court. The Supreme Court issues its final opinions in outstanding cases in June, when the annual court term ends.
So a definitive decision from the court will be issued by then. An overturning of Roe would allow states to regulate abortion access without the oversight of federal courts. According to CNN, 13 states – all Republican-led, including Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi, have “trigger laws” on the books that would immediately limit abortion in access, often nearly completely banning it, if Roe is overturned. About another 13 states are likely to quickly pass legislation to limit abortion access if the decision is overturned, according to CNBC. The U.S. House has already passed legislation to codify the right to abortion care in federal law. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said the Senate will soon vote on the bill, according to NPR, but it is likely to be filibustered by Republicans. Progressive Democrats, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Oakland Rep. Barbara Lee, have called on the Senate to eliminate the filibuster in order to pass abortion legislation. President Biden, however, told reporters this week that he was “not prepared” to make a decision on whether he would support that, according to CNN.
