U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee Calls for Gun Violence Protection in Visit to Oakland’s Youth Alive!

By Sarah Clemens

U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D13) met with members of Oakland violence prevention program Youth ALIVE! (YA!) on June 3, 2022, a few days before she spoke about the impact of guns on the House floor in Washington, D.C. Lee toured YA!, one of several local projects that receive federal funding, as National Gun Violence Awareness Month kicked off. The meeting at 3300 Elm St. occurred less than two weeks after the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which attracted worldwide attention and brought new focus to gun control conversations. While the visit mainly focused on Lee introducing herself to the staff and touring the building, the recent shooting was not far from anyone’s mind. In America, school shootings have become common — 27 have happened this year alone. The amount of guns in the U.S. is significant, with the Pew Research Center estimating in 2021 that 1 in 4 U.S. adults live in a household with one. They happen so often that think pieces about the public becoming “desensitized to murder” exist in abundance. And gun law reforms are rare and far between. While the House passed a significant gun control bill on June 8, 2022, its chances of becoming law are slim, considering its lack of bipartisan support. It passed just barely, by an almost exact

party line of ​​223-204. Lee was one of those in support of the Protecting Our Kids Act, a strong legislative package that would save lives across the nation as well as protect East Bay communities from gun violence. It includes common-sense gun safety measures that will crack down on illegal gun trafficking, keep weapons of war out of the hands of teenagers, strengthen safe gun storage, restrict access to untraceable “ghost guns” and more. Lee told YA! staff, who were concerned about the surge of gun violence in Oakland, that

she believes we’ll be living in a period marked by gun violence for some time. While speaking with a few of the program’s clients, she stated that while progress toward an anti-gun future is important, so is “getting through that first phase.” When asked by the Post how long it might take until serious gun reform happens, Lee said, “hopefully not as long as it’s taken just to get to this point.” Lee elaborated, “I want to see a full ban on assault weapons, I want all steps taken to address the problem.” Lee’s concern was reflected

in her remarks to Congress on Thursday. “Gun violence is responsible for more than 32,000 deaths each year. This is a heartbreaking moment for so many of us. This is a public health crisis in our country. It’s an epidemic. The victims of Buffalo and Uvalde, Tulsa, and other mass shootings, they — they deserve more than our thoughts and our prayers. “Last week, I met with young gun violence survivors in my district. They spoke powerfully about the cycle of violence and easy access to guns, especially ghost guns. And they talked about the trauma endured by themselves, their families, and their communities…This bill responds to their call by raising the age for purchase of certain firearms.” A recent poll by the Washington Post found that 62% of Americans agree with Lee, and support banning semiautomatic weapons such as the infamous AR-15s. However, this general support does not equate to bipartisan support. Only 31% of Republicans said the same, and only 29% favored tougher gun laws in general. Despite this clear divide, Lee said she “wasn’t pessimistic” about potential reform. “Because we know what should be done, but we have to see this as a political struggle and hold members of congress accountable.” Rep. Barbara Lee’s press office and Youth ALIVE! web site contributed to this report.

Letter to City Council: Let Voters Decide If They Want to Give Billions to a Billionaire

Editor’s Note: The Oakland Post received the following open letter signed by many local residents: City officials are proposing that Oakland spend almost $1 billion of our state, federal and local tax dollars for a private stadium and real estate development on public land at Howard Terminal. Meanwhile, Oakland is struggling with homelessness, keeping schools open, maintaining our roads, improving our Port, adequately paying City employees and more. Oakland voters should have a say in how our public funds are spent. Councilmembers, please place “Public Financ-

If The City Council Won’t Vote For You, Don’t Vote For Them By Paul Cobb Publisher

The voters of Oakland demand the right to vote on whether the City of Oakland should spend a billion dollars of public money on a privately owned baseball stadium and luxury condominiums at Howard Terminal. We agree. If City Councilmembers want the voters to support them in upcoming elections, they must support the voters’ demand for a public vote on Howard Terminal now. In an April 6, 2022, poll of 800 registered voters, 76% said they want to vote on whether the City Council should spend public funds on Oakland A’s privately owned baseball stadium and luxury condominium complex. District 3 Councilmem-

Opinion

ber Carroll Fife followed that poll with a Town Hall meeting where the vast majority of attendees voiced their support for a ballot measure and demanded that the City Council place the issue of public spending before the voters. As of this writing, thousands of voters have delivered petitions demanding the right to vote and we are told thousands more petitions are on the way. District 5 Councilmember Noel Gallo has heard the demands of Oakland voters and he is scheduling a hearing before the Council to place public spending on the ballot. We urge the Council to act. If they do not, we urge the voters to ask themselves “If Councilmembers do not support our right to vote, why should we vote for them?” Oakland faces many crises

including homelessness, public safety, school closures, and the loss of existing union jobs at Howard Terminal. Homelessness is such an urgent crisis that the City Council declared a local emergency just this week. How can we even consider spending public funds on a baseball stadium and luxury condos in these times of crisis? The voters demand a right to be heard and the City Council has a moral and ethical obligation to place the matter on the ballot. We are told that there are two major obstacles to a vote. The A’s say that if they don’t get their way they will take to the highway and leave, and Oakland will lose its last sports team. With people dying on the streets and crime at an all-time high, and since the A’s, who are co-owners of the Coliseum, have not signed a cooperation agreement with the new com-

munity-based ownership group that wants to launch a fast-track housing and jobs redevelopment plan for the very low-income residents and homeless population — who now live in the shadow of the Coliseum — it’s no wonder that some city and county taxpayers give a care if the A’s threaten to leave. And the number of homeless dwellers now exceed the number of fans who attend the games. When you poll those barely surviving with their monthly general assistance checks from Alameda County, which is selling its half-ownership interest in the Coliseum to the A’s, then it’s no wonder that some city and county taxpayers give a care if the A’s threaten to leave: They want the county’s equity stake to help build truly affordable housing now.

Learning Black History Year-Round

Opal Lee, the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” By Tamara Shiloh

Juneteenth, known as the “second Independence Day,” celebrates the freedom of enslaved people in the U.S. at the end of the Civil War. The name references the holiday by combining the month and day (June 19). It was on June 19, 1865, when U.S. troops arriving in Galveston, Texas, alerted the enslaved people that they had been free since Jan. 1, 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The decree, issued about halfway into the Civil War, freed those enslaved in most of the states in what was then the Confederacy and also allowed Black men to serve in the Union Army. The addition of more than 200,000 Black troops was significant in the defeat of the Confederacy in April of 1865 but the news didn’t reach Texas until two months later. Texas wasn’t the only state that held ‘freedom’ festivals as slavery ended, but unlike Juneteenth, the other celebrations faded out. In Texas, however, the observance, also known as ‘the colored people’s fourth of July,” remained strong, becoming a state holiday in 1980. During the Great Migration, Black Texans brought the observance to other cities across the country with sizeable Black populations and Juneteenth enjoyed a resurgence with festivals small and large. Still, it wasn’t until June 17, 2021, that President Joe Biden signed Senate Bill S. 475 to set aside Juneteenth as the 11th federal holiday. But this effort did not start

Opal Lee. Courtesy of the Juneteenth Legacy Project. with Biden. Decades before the signing, Opal Lee (1926–), a retired teacher and community activist, began campaigning to make Juneteenth a national holiday. In 2016, she started the Opal’s Walk to Wash., D.C., walking 2.5 miles in different areas of the country. That led to Lee, dubbed the grandmother of Juneteenth, eventually delivering Congress a petition with 1.5 million signatures. Lee said that she decided to “walk from Fort Worth to Washington D.C., doing two and a half miles in the morning and two and a half in the afternoon to symbolize that in Texas, the enslaved didn’t know they were free for two and a half years after everybody else.” The oldest of three children of Mattie and Otis Flake, Opal was born in Marshall, Texas. The family relocated to Fort Worth, Texas, when Opal was about age 10. They later settled in Terrell Heights, then a mostly white area. It was a home, Lee said, that her “mom had it fixed up so nice.” Terror struck the family on June 19, 1939, when 500 white

rioters vandalized and burned down their home. Recalling the incident years later, Lee recalled on an episode of the Oprah Daily show that certain people “didn’t want us in that neighborhood, and they tore that place apart and burned the furniture … The fact that it happened on the 19th day of June has spurred me to make people understand that Juneteenth is not just a festival.” Lee first learned about Juneteenth while living in Marshall. “We would go to the fairgrounds for the festival. Everybody would have such a good time. There were sack races, food, dominoes, all kinds of things. When we got to Fort Worth, not so much. People celebrated with their families.” Lee attended Fort Worth’s first Black high school, I.M. Terrell, graduating in 1943 at age 16. She married and had four children but divorced after five years. She later earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Wiley College in Marshall, and a master’s degree in counseling Continued on page 3

Are You a Nonprofit Leader? You Probably Domestic Violence Orgs: Gov., Lawmakers Must Need Technical Assistance Support Add Prevention Funding to Final Budget By Charla Montgomery

Non-profit leaders are usually so caught up in the day-today effort to deliver services to the community that they are often unaware of help they really need: In this case, technical support. Savvy in most areas to fulfill their duties, the offer of help for technical assistance can seem to be just one more thing added to an already full plate. A technical assistance expert can help you navigate through many nonprofit challenges from organizational development through establishing the most effective and sound programming. I have worked in the nonprofit industry for over 10 years and have provided technical assistance to many small nonprofit leaders/administrators. I’ve learned that besides their usual duties, the average executive director (ED) would be wise to keep two things in mind: No. 1, analysis and No. 2, evaluation. In my opinion, these two processes are key practices needed to achieve impactful and longterm community development as well as organizational success. Leaders must periodically allow time to examine internally and externally what’s being done, how it’s being done and if what’s being done is effective. There are many tried and true methods for analyzing and evaluating, but how do you know which methods will work best for your organization and result in the most efficiently executed and community beneficial outcomes? This is where technical assistance can really help nonprofit leaders. What Kind Technical Assistance Do You Need? Let me start by giving you an

Charla Montgomery

example. Let’s say you have a few amazing ideas about how to alleviate a number of major economic barriers for the clients you serve but are not sure which idea would be most effective or be the best method for executing the idea. his would be the time to rely on your background in strategic planning, program development, evaluation and project management, right? Well, what if your background in these areas is not as solid as they could be or perhaps you are only familiar with the areas in theory? You have to ask yourself the million-dollar question, “do I really know everything I should to implement these program ideas and produce the most impactful outcome?” That’s where technical assistance comes in. Many technical assistance

experts have learned over time through experience. They are familiar with various setbacks, poor planning calamities, testing theories, learning from negative results and achieving more wins than losses. The good news for you is you don’t need to be an expert; you just need access to them. Technical assistance resources are plentiful and are encouraged by most funders. In fact, some funders provide grant awards to cover technical assistance costs. Here are just a few primary business areas where you can receive technical assistance support. • Administration/Operations • Program Development • Project Management • Fund Development • Human Resources • Marketing/Promotions • Strategic Planning • Client Development All nonprofits, even those with active, experienced board members and staff could use expertise in these areas to some degree. Remember, even in the nonprofit world “it takes a village” to successfully serve a village. Next: Advice on how to best select your technical assistance advisor.

and guidance from North Texas State University. Lee worked as an educator for the Fort Worth Independent School District for 15 years and a home school counselor for nine years before retiring in 1977. “Each of us can make a difference,” Lee said about the lessons one can learn from her life. “It doesn’t have to be anything spectacular … You can do an act of kindness every single solitary day because it’s needed.” Inspire your children to appreciate Juneteenth.

Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom released his May Revise of the state budget. Included in the whopping $300.6 billion budget proposal are generous allocations to fund initiatives in health, higher education, public safety, and other areas. However, California-based domestic and sexual violence prevention organizations say they are “disappointed” that Newsom did not honor their request for $40.5 million in funding for domestic and sexual violence prevention. Now, as the governor’s office and Legislature hammer out details of the final budget, The California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (The Partnership) sent out a press release critical of Newsom’s budget plan. “Domestic and sexual violence are not inevitable and can be prevented with long-term initiatives that educate and equip Californians to change unacceptable social norms and systems that perpetuate violence,” The Partnership’s statement read. The domestic violence advocates say their plan includes $15 million that would go toward ongoing funding for prevention programs and an additional $25.5 million for “under-resourced and over-represented communities to support culturally specific responses, innovations, and holistic approaches to end violence for future generations.” The advocates are now calling on leadership and members of the Legislature to ensure a comprehensive approach to addressing sexual violence and domestic violence is included in the final budget that will be released June 15. Eric Morrison-Smith, executive director of the ‘Alliance for

Boys and Men of Color,’ is part of a network of organizations coming together to fight for funding to keep preventative programming initiatives alive. “Everyone deserves healthy and safe relationships and that builds healthy and safe communities,” said Morrison-Smith. “We believe it is necessary to move towards restorative justice,

AMERICANS FOR NONSMOKERS’ RIGHTS

BIG CITIES HEALTH COALITION

PROTECT KIDS. ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY. SAVE LIVES. THE FDA HAS OUR FULL SUPPORT TO PROHIBIT MENTHOL CIGARETTES AND FLAVORED CIGARS. For decades, Big Tobacco has targeted Black Americans, kids and other communities with menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, profiting at the expense of lives and health. By advancing rules to prohibit these flavored tobacco products, the FDA is taking historic action to save lives and protect future generations from addiction. This lifesaving policy must be finalized and implemented without delay.

Protect Yourself: Black Women’s Group Encourages Youth to Get COVID Shot By Edward Henderson, California Black Media

Black women leaders in California want to raise COVID vaccine awareness among young people across the state as the number of infections creeps back up. Last week, Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA), a statewide political advocacy organization, hosted a town hall meeting via Zoom organized to engage youth through their Young Enough to Know Campaign. The effort is aimed at educating young people and their families about the importance of being vaccinated to protect themselves against COVID-19. Vashone Huff, co-director of BWOPA’s Black & Vaxxed campaign, opened the town hall with a welcome message and stated the purpose of the gathering. “We are focusing and engaging elementary, middle school, high school and college students in conversation and highlighting the voices and lives of those that are not too young to know about the impacts of COVID as well as the actions they can take to advocate and protect themselves and their families,” said Huff. Experts say there are many factors that contribute to this number including the short time the vaccine has been available for youth. Last week, 19 California counties were recategorized as “medium risk” from “low risk,” based on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) three-level ranking system for tracking COVID hospitalization rates. Thirty-three of California’s 58 counties are now ranked in the “medium risk” category, accounting for more than 75% of the state’s population, according to numbers compiled by the California Department of Public Health. BWOPA says that is one reason the organization is working to encourage Black and Brown communities to fight the stigma surrounding the vaccine and encourage youth to become fully

vaccinated. At the beginning of the event, Huff introduced the hosts of the town hall: Lady Ray of iHeart Radio and Tyler Baty, a 7th grade student and athlete at St. Leo the Great Catholic School in Oakland. Baty, an accomplished student athlete and orator said it is important for kids his age to remain safe and continue to wear masks in public places. He also shared that many of his friends had come down with COVID and he wants more youth and their parents to take the vaccine seriously. BWOPA wants young people to know that children ages 5-11 are eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, and kids 12 and older are now eligible for boosters. Patricia-Blue Pharr, 11, shared her experience contracting COVID while at a summer camp last year. Pharr said she began to feel sick shortly after she arrived at the camp and had to return home. “It just goes to show that COVID can spread really quickly. That’s why you have to be very careful,” said Pharr. “I had a lot of doctor’s appointments and had to stay home and not have contact with anybody. Anytime I wanted to eat, I had to take it to my room and eat it by myself. I couldn’t even sit on my porch, which was really upsetting.” Angela Sou, program manager for the Youth Engagement Program of the state’s Vaccinate All 58 Campaign, followed Pharr and shared her support for BWOPA and its efforts. Vaccinate All 58 partners with BWOPA to providing funding

for outreach and engagement within communities disproportionately affected by barriers to healthcare and information. “These projects nurture a culture of trust, engagement, buy in and civic engagement. We want to make the conversations surrounding COVID-19 more accessible and collaborative,” said Sou. According to BWOPA, hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are 11 times higher in unvaccinated children than fully vaccinated ones. Across the United States, COVID hospitalizations for children are on par with the numbers for adults. Oakland City Councilmember Treva Reid (District 7) also spoke at the town hall, offering encouragement to the youth attending and sharing a message to the people as they prepare for a safe summer. “As people are going back to their daily activities people are not wearing masks,” said Reid. “Be sure to get involved in these conversations and influencing people in your family and communities. You are young enough to know, you are young enough to advocate as we all work to come through Covid and love each other through it all.” Other speakers included Dr. Norlisa Cooper of BWOPA, Jessica King and Aldane Waters, who helped produce a public service announcement aimed toward youth and their parents about the importance of wearing masks, staying socially distant and becoming fully vaccinated.

African American water experts are joining state officials calling on Californians to conserve as much water as possible in preparation for an abnormally dry summer ahead. California is in year three of a drought that scientists have called the driest in the history of the state. “Look at your usage. Make it a family project,” said Dale Hunter, a respected African American water expert in Sacramento. Last week, the State Water Resources Control Board voted to ban the watering of

“non-functional” turf to combat California’s drought as state officials estimate that water supplies may decrease by 20% due to rising heat. This statewide ban will apply to the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors. “California is facing a drought crisis and every local water agency and Californian needs to step up on conservation efforts,” Gov. Gavin

Newsom said in a statement. “I am hopeful the measures enacted by the State Water Board will lead to a reduction of water use across the state.” Hunter says conservation is urgent. “This is the state saying, ‘folks this is serious. We are encouraging all locals to come up with a conservation plan,’” he added. Following state official calls for water use reduction last year, Californians’ water use increased by about 19% this year, according to the governor’s office.

members and planned by family members. To register, call 510-697-8533. The event will also feature Dr. Aaron Chapman, psychiatrist, and medical director for Alameda County Behavioral Health Services. He will discuss the role of psychiatric care and devote considerable time to answer audience questions in depth and followed by a panel of speakers who will describe the process for filing a complaint against a service provider. “We see a lot of people with mental illness being incarcerated at Santa Rita jail,” said Margot Dashiell, chairwoman of the AAFOP Steering Committee. “Forty-eight percent of those incarcerated in the jail’s mental health unit are African American, yet African Americans constitute only 9% of the County population. Involuntary hospitalization is also at a disproportionate rate at John

George Mental Health facility. “If we can help families recognize the symptoms and what resources are available, families could recognize symptoms early on, and serious challenges could be averted,” she said. “Homelessness has exacerbated the problem and we’re witnessing an increase in suicides at an alarming rate. We offer family education and a resource support center virtually due to COVID-19.” AAFOP was designed to help families who have loved ones suffering from mental illness with resources and coping skills. For the past five years, AAFOP’s fiscal sponsor and home has been the Mental Health Association of Alameda County, with funding from Alameda County Behavioral Health Services. Traditionally, psychiatry programs, master’s degree and Ph.D. psychology programs did not recognize the importance of families in helping loved ones

who are ill or addicted. In fact, it was once the common view in textbooks and training programs that mental illness resulted from poor parenting. Reversing old ideas and practices, Alameda County Behavioral Health designated funds from California’s Mental Health Services Act to AAFOP to encourage family members to actively engage in the treatment process for loved ones. Many agencies and service providers today still do not actively encourage family participation in the treatment process. AAFOP encourages continual learning and the importance of self-care in the face of stressful conditions. As such, it encourages attendees to join Family Education Resource Center’s AAFOP which meets virtually on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. To receive a link for the support group, call 510-746-1700.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR QUALIFIED MINORITY CONTRACTORS?

Program Milestones 18 Small Local Contractors 12 Trade-Specific Consultants (Estimating, Accounting, Legal, Marketing, Business Development) 10-Week Project Management Courses Trade Specific Courses Community Outreach Events Software Purchases/Training

MENTOR MENTEE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PROGRAM FUNDED BY THE CITY OF OAKLAND

Total Estimates Compiled: 43 Total Estimates Submitted: 43 Amount of Total Estimates Submitted: $17.7M Amount of Total Estimates Awarded (Thru April): $8.2M Average Revenue Increase of Participating Contractors: 9.2%

Program Need The construction industry presents a particular set of problems for small minority contractors, namely, technical and administrative training and support that results in capacity-building and longevity. The Construction Resource Center created the Mentor Mentee Supportive Services Program funded by the City of Oakland. These efforts were led by Rebecca Kaplan and her Team who amended the City budget to allow for this pilot program to take place. The program started in September 2021 and runs through September 2022. The goal is to provide the much-needed one-on-one technical assistance to City of Oakland Local and/or Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) construction contractors. As a result, the access gap is decreased, and these small contractors are poised to work with the City of Oakland, other organizations and municipalities throughout the Greater Bay Area.

Community Impact & Program Effectiveness All 18 contractor participants along with the 12 local Consultants have had a favorable impact on their business. Internal processes are more efficient, staff are trained on industry standards and software and revenue has increased as additional contracts are being awarded. Contractors and Consultants have indicated through their monthly performance reports that the program is just what was needed as small businesses need on-going support tailored to their needs as well as accessibility to subject matter experts that typically are outside of their reach based on cost. "This program is just what we needed" - J. Arellano "I have never seen a program so dedicated to everyones success" - B. Khufu

Sustainability Program Services The 18 eligible contractors who are currently participating, underwent a pre-screening process, acquired a customized Action Plan that evolves with their needs, participated in a Program Orientation, and are assigned to the 12 trade expert Consultants, such as Edward M. Lai, Esq., Tonma, Lowe Consulting, and Barkwood Digital. Consultants provide one-on-one assistance with Accounting, Administrative Set-up, Estimating, Legal, Marketing, Social Media, Software Training, Social Media, Tax Prep/Resolution, and MORE.

The success of the program is due to the collaborative approach by the City of Oakland and CRC along with the dedication of its program participants and Consultants. To that end, we are hoping the City is dedicated to funding additional years of the program to help sustain the participants beyond the year of success they are witnessing. These contractors are certified SLEB, DBE, MBE and/or Disabled Vets. If you would like to know more about the qualifications of our participants for future partnerships, go to our website to schedule a meeting and/or a phone call.

U.S. Rep. Garamendi’s Absence from Suisun Forum Raises Voters Concerns By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media

Congressman John Garamendi (D-Walnut Grove), a member of the United States House of Representatives, has been representing California’s Third Congressional District for nearly 10 years. But now he is running for re-election to represent California’s new eighth Congressional District, which covers areas in Solano and North Contra Costa counties. Recently, Democratic voters held a candidate forum in the redrawn Eighth District, an area with about 740,000 constituents. Garamendi was a no-show, prompting some residents to raise concerns about his candidacy. “It is important to know that if you’re going to represent me, I have to be important to you, I have to be a value to you and I have to know that you know that my vote is strong and powerful,” said Jay King, president and CEO of the California Black Chamber of Commerce. King was the moderator of the forum hosted by the Community Democratic Club in Suisun City. Three other candidates -- Democrat Demnlus Johnson, Republican Rudy Recile and Democrat Cheryl

Sudduth -- participated in the forum. Garamendi was reportedly out of the country the day the panel discussion was scheduled. Rutsch’s team says he was hoping to participate virtually but an in-person appearance was the only option organizers gave the candidates to attend. Garamendi, 77, who has served in Congress since 2009, faces a tough crop of challengers in an electoral area that the California Redistricting Commission specifically redrew to ensure minority representation in an area that has become increasingly diverse. Garamendi, who is white, lives in nearby Walnut Grove, which is in District 3. In addition to Johnson, Recile, and Sudduth, two more candidates are also contesting in the June 7 Primary election: Democrat Christopher Riley and Democrat Edwin Rutsch. The top two vote-getters in the primary will qualify to run in the General Election on Nov. 8, 2022. Calvin Harrell Jr., president of the Community Democratic Club of Solano County, commended the three candidates for showing up and sharing their backgrounds and platforms while offering solutions.

Voters’ Approval of Rob Bonta, Rejection of Chesa Boudin Highlight California’s Primary By Emil Guillermo

Don’t be fooled. The story on the California primary is the emergence of Alameda County’s Rob Bonta as a statewide leader. Bonta, the attorney general appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in March of 2021, easily won his primary race with 54.8% of the vote and will face Republican Nathan Hochman, who finished second with 18.3%. A little over a year as the state’s top cop, Filipino American Bonta got just what he needed — a vote of confidence statewide. Now he appears headed for a win in November’s general election as hot button issues like assault weapons/gun control, abortion, are all in his social justice wheelhouse. More importantly, his political career arc seems to be rising, too, as everyone who has held the job prior (notably Kamala Harris) has been destined for a

Opinion

major D.C. role. The only question in the primary was: Would the whole state accept Bonta after such a short time on the job? We now know the answer is ‘yes.’ And that was what I’d call the big story about the California primary. A close second would be the primary as a general test of democracy. Look at the facts. I’m paying over $6 for a gallon of gas, am concerned over record inflation, general economic inequity, plus the lack of attention to public health amidst a pandemic, climate change, prospects of greater global conflicts, not to mention racism. Oh, and gun violence. How about you? Think you should vote if you get a chance? That’s why it’s a bit of a headscratcher that in a time when American democracy is being

held up with unwaxed dental floss used as baling wire, Californians didn’t seem excited enough to show up to vote. Democracy could have used some moral support. Or at least a sense that democracy is seen as a solution. But apparently that’s not how most people see things. It is so easy to vote in California these days too. I got my permanent vote by mail ballot and sent it off before I left for a jaunt eastward. But as I stayed up to see the other results come in from the Golden State, I was appalled at the turnout. Just 14% before Election Day itself when people could show up in person or drop off ballots. And now it appears it will be well under 30% (maybe even closer to 20% when all is said and done. Compare that to the gubernatorial recall of last year, with a turnout nearing 40%. I think recalls are a misuse of democracy and a disruptive nuisance. It’s like getting brain surgery when all you need is a

Tylenol. I’d rather see politicians and voters work out their differences within their term and then face getting voted out, rather than seeking an instant nuclear divorce. But this is the kind of contentiousness that seems to bring out the voters. A recall has become the way to put a politician on trial with voters as judge, jury and executioner. It also draws people to the polls and this time around San Franciscans got the benefit of the modern voter magnet. Chesa Boudin was billed as a progressive district attorney and seemed suited to a liberal city like San Francisco. The problem was idealistic views on incarceration, drug rehabilitation and sentencing sound better than the reality. Voters saw the city in disarray with a drug and homelessness problem, smash-and-grab shoplifting crimes, and suddenly all the high-minded ideas had lost their appeal.

Reparations Supporters: All Black Americans Should Read Calif. Task Force First Report By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media

One year to the day since making its historic debut, the California Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans delivered its anticipated interim report to the California Legislature. Responding to the release, Black reparations activists are encouraging Black Californians to read the report and share their reactions with the task force during a series of upcoming listening sessions scheduled both in Northern and Southern California. “This process is all about you and this is about Black America,” said Tiffany Quarles, co-founder of the National Assembly of American Slavery Descendants - Los Angeles (NAASD-LA). “These listening sessions are a way to tell your story and to let the task force know what your ideas, thoughts, and other recommendations should be put in

forums.” The report, compiled by the California Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Enforcement Section (DOJCRE), is over 500 pages long. Some task force members are calling the document the most expansive analysis of the Black community since the Kerner Commission report was released 54 years ago. “It has been an honor and a privilege to supervise the re-

lease of this monumental interim report,” task force chair Kamilah Moore told California Black Media (CBM) in a statement. “A year-long effort, this 500-plus page report chronicles the harms against the African American community, starting with the transatlantic slave trade, the institution of U.S. chattel slavery, Emancipation and the broken promise of Reconstruction, genocidal Jim Crow, to contemporary harms.”

The report is based on hearings, expert testimonies, and evidence accumulated since the task force first convened on June 1, 2021. It establishes how California laws and policies have disproportionately and negatively affected African Americans. “This interim report is a historic step by the State of California to acknowledge the insidious effects of slavery and ongoing systemic discrimination, recognize the state’s failings, and move toward rectifying the harm,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta. “I commend the Reparations Task Force for their commitment to this effort and for being a model for partners across the nation.” The report contains 13 chapters, including an introduction. The subjects the chapters cover include discussions about chattel slavery in America, racial terror, and political disenfranchisement. It documents historical injustices Black Americans...

U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Challenge to Oakland’s Tenant Relocation Assistance Law

By Zoe M. Savitsk

On June 6, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to Oakland’s Uniform Residential Tenant Relocation Ordinance. The Court’s denial of the petition requesting review means that Oakland’s victories in the lower courts will stand — affirming a critical component of Oakland’s comprehensive tenant protections and affirming that local governments can successfully defend progressive policies against coordinated attacks by the conservative legal movement. This case, Ballinger v. City of Oakland, began in 2018 when local landlords evicted their tenants in order to move back in, and paid the tenants the reloca-

tion assistance required under Oakland’s local laws. Calling the relocation payment “ransom,” Barbara J. Parker. the plaintiffs Twitter photo. c h a l l e n g e d Oakland’s ordinance, claiming it was unconstitutional on several grounds, including that the City was “taking” their property and that the payment was an unlawful “seizure” of their money. In 2019, the federal District Court for the Northern District of California agreed with the City that every one of the plaintiffs’ claims should be dismissed, as no law supports their theories. The Ninth Cir-

cuit Court of Appeals agreed, upholding the dismissals earlier this year in an opinion confirming that Oakland’s ordinance is constitutional, and is consistent with many other types of lawful government regulation, from requiring corporations to pay to clean up hazardous waste to monetary assessments on tobacco companies. This challenge to Oakland’s tenant protections is not an isolated case; it is part of a longstanding, and growing, nationwide campaign against progressive policy and policymakers who seek to balance the scales by providing protections for historically and currently marginalized communities. The plaintiffs in this matter were represented by the Pacific

Legal Foundation (PLF), which is funded and guided by major corporate interests such as ExxonMobil and the tobacco industry, and by conservative foundations financed by right-wing billionaires such as the Koch brothers and the Scaife family. PLF has been involved in innumerable challenges to governments’ ability to protect vulnerable tenants from eviction and discrimination, raise money via taxation, and much more. “This is an important and just victory for the City of Oakland — and for tenants’ rights,” said City Attorney Barbara J. Parker. “By refusing to consider overturning the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court...

Oakland group. Trade unions say their members will get a lot of jobs building a new stadium and luxury condos. They could have the same jobs, without the huge costs and public spending, if a stadium and housing were built at the Coliseum by a baseball team that truly cared about Oakland. Many residents and organizations have asked the Post to host Town Hall meetings to

help hold our officials accountable for the costs of the new stadium. We will publish articles on how to link the future housing relief for homeless as a requirement for the A’s to get the approval of Howard Terminal and why the original injunction was filed by the city attorney. The voters of Oakland hold the key. They should send a clear and unequivocal message to the Council: “Support our

right to vote on public spending or don’t expect us to vote for you.” We urge voters to contact your Councilmembers and demand they vote to place public spending on the November 2022 ballot.

California Primary 2022: Black Candidates Advance to the November General Elections Continued from page 1

7.

The top two vote-getters in the primaries regardless of political affiliation advance to the November election — whether one candidate receives the majority of the votes cast in the primary election. Only candidates running for State Superintendent of Public Instruction or candidates for voter-nominated offices in special elections can win outright by getting a majority of the vote (over 50 %) in the primary election. County elections officials will be conducting the semifinal official canvass of votes at least every two hours until completed and providing the results to the Secretary of State. Below is a list of statewide races and Black candidates running. Governor - Gavin Newsom (D) is projected to advance to the November General election and will face Brian Dahle (R). Black candidates failing to advance were Shawn Collins (R) in 6th place, Major Williams (R) in 8th place, Woodrow “Woody” Sanders III (No Party Preference) in 23rd place and Serge Fiankan (No Party Preference) in 26th place. Lt. Governor - Angela E. Underwood Jacobs (R) is in

second place and should advance to face incumbent Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis in November. Secretary of State - Incumbent Dr. Shirley Weber (D) the only Black candidate in the contest is leading by a wide margin over six opponents. State Controller - Malia Cohen (D) the first African American woman to serve on the board of Equalization is running in second place behind Lanhee Chen (R). Superintendent of Public Instruction - Incumbent Tony Thurmond has an overwhelming lead over his six opponents. He is below the 50% majority to win outright. Ainye E. Long, the other Black candidate is in second place but has a very narrow lead over the 3rd place and 4th place candidates. California Insurance Commissioner - Incumbent Ricardo Lara (D) leads his eight challengers. His Black opponents are Vinson Eugene Allen (D) in 5th place, Jasper “Jay” Jackson (D) in 7th place and Veronika Fimbres (Green Party) running 8th.

Help For Non-Profits, Faith Groups Facing New Challenges During Pandemic Continued from page 1

ning: Using Technology to Build Programs, Change Lives, Get Funded,” nonprofit and faith-based leaders will learn how to combine classic program planning techniques with new technological platforms to “repair the breach.” Local experts Carmen Bogan, MBA, The Bogan Group, and Ellora Diehl, MBA, The Diehl Group, will explain how faith-based and nonprofit leaders can use their methods to expand an organization’s reach, increase funding, stretch resources, and more, through planning and technology. According to Bogan, organizations across the board are seeing indications that they need to reimagine how they approach programming. “Not knowing or even providing any hands-on services to the people you’re preaching to on YouTube or Facebook is a symptom,” Bogan said. “For faiths, this means fewer or no baptisms, lower tithes, declines in service attendance, and ultimately, a weakened faiths community. That’s not true ministry. But we have an opportunity — right now.” Diehl, an expert in the tech industry, says the same is true of all nonprofit organizations. “We can’t get around it. We live in a technology-driven age that’s continually evolving, and as a society, we’re not turn-

ing back,” she said. “If we lag in keeping up, we lose touch with individuals we need to draw closer, like our youth, volunteers and those who are in dire need of services.” “The fix for all of this is right in front of our faces,” Bogan said. Participants in this training will learn: * How to design hybrid programming to rebuild ministries and enhance and increase nonprofit services * The connection between technology and social justice * What new, user-friendly tech tools help with data collection, website presence and social media impact * How hybrid program planning leads to more relevant programming * What new fund development tech tools can increase income and enhance fund diversification * How to connect with who’s out there listening – or needs to be listening Please join us for this informative workshop.
