Oakland community leaders and activists, port workers and environmental advocates joined City Councilmember Noel Gallo on the steps of City Hall this week to urge the City Council to allow the public to vote on the use of public funds for the A’s stadium and private real estate development at Howard Terminal. “We’re here to commit to the residents of Oakland that they must have a right to vote

on whether to spend over a billion public dollars (on the proposal) for the Oakland A’s to build a stadium and real estate development at Howard Terminal,” said Gallo, speaking at the media event Wednesday morning. “This is an unprecedented grab of public funds,” which could grow considerably because there seems to be no limit on the city’s liability for potential cost overruns, Gallo said. “We have to learn from our past experiences (with the

Raiders) to not make the same mistake again,” he said, The rally comes in anticipation of a July 5 City Council meeting that will consider a resolution to put an advisory vote on the November ballot on the use of public funds to support a privately owned stadium and real estate development at Howard Terminal at the Port of Oakland. At the Tuesday, July 5 meeting, the Council will discuss the

College by Northeastern University. The Coalition brought to light what they believe is the blatant miscarriage of justice that occurred due to perceived deception and actions of the Mills College president and

trustees. A protest took place on Mills’ campus on June 30. “The harm of this so-called ‘merger’ goes far beyond the Oakland community, the alumnae, and current students. It is a direct assault on the futures of women and the LGBTQIA+ community,” said Shay Franco-Clausen, a current student at Mills College. “Students are being defrauded and we demand to know why our contracts with the school are not being honored.” During the meeting with

The majority of Americans have not heard the name Norma McCorvey; however, we know her best by her pseudonym name, Jane Roe, a name given to protect her true identity in the Roe v Wade Abortion Supreme Court Case. In 1969, Roe wanted to abort her third pregnancy. Roe lived in Texas where abortions were illegal except to save the mother’s life. The attorneys for Roe argued that Texas law violated Roe’s constitutional rights and the rights of other women. The District Attorney argued that

Schaaf Seeks Post Retraction For Reporting Her support of School Closings on KQED By Ken Epstein

Ketanji Brown Jackson, 51, signs documents after she was sworn in at a simple ceremony on Thursday, June 30, 2022, as Chief Justice John Roberts looks on. Replacing one of her mentors, Justice Steven Breyer, who retired on the same day, Brown Jackson will assume duties with her swearing in, but her investiture to sit on the court will occur in the fall. While her husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, held both the family Bible and one donated to the Supreme Court in 1906, Brown Jackson took her oaths, making history as the first African American woman to serve on the highest court in the U.S. Photo by Fred Schilling, collection of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Office of Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf has demanded a retraction from Oakland Post, saying the newspaper was incorrect to characterize Schaaf as a supporter of permanently closing up to half of the public schools in Oakland. “She’s never held that position,” said Justin Berton, the mayor’s spokesperson, in an email to the Post. “As you know, knowingly publishing false information is not only unethical, it’s potentially actionable,” he wrote. Berton was responding to a sentence in an article in last week’s Post that said, “Schaaf,

longtime supporter of charter schools, has spoken forcefully in the media in Oakland Mayor favor of closLibby Schaaf. ing as many as half of the city’s public schools.” The Post’s comments on the mayor’s position was based on a Feb. 4, 2022, interview with KQED. At the time, the school district had just announced that it was closing 15 schools this year and next and was planning to close more in future years. The City Council took a Continued on Page 10

Texas laws made it a crime to perform or furnish the means for procuring an abortion. “The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where in 1973 Justice Harry Blackmun’s ruling blocked not just Texas’ abortion laws from being enforced, but all state laws that banned abortion early in pregnancy. In other words, the right to privacy in the U.S. Constitution extended to a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. With regard to the fetus, life occurs about 24 weeks of pregnancy. During President Trump’s tenure, three vacancies occurred on the U. S. Supreme Court, and he filed them all with conservative judges, that allowed him to stack the highest court in the land by flipping the balance to majority of conservatives decisions abortion. On June 24, 2022, The Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v Wade reversed the 50-year legal ruling ending federal abortion rights and remanded it to individual state rights. The re-

versal of the Roe v Wade case will adversely impact Black women more than other nonBlack women. The United States is no longer united. We are living in a divided country where some states will criminalize abortion while other states welcome a woman’s right to control her body. Janette McCarthy Wallace, General Counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), commented “There is no denying the fact that this is a direct attack on all women, and Black women stand to be disproportionately impacted by the court’s egregious assault on basic human rights.” Michelle Webb, Chief Communications Officer of the Black Women’s Health Imperative, said “we want to be clear: this decision harms all women. But it marks the beginning of a new public health crisis for Black women.” If more Black Continued on Page 10

Inflation Worries Grow as California Legislature Approves State Budget By Aldon Thomas Stiles and Edward Henderson, California Black Media

Diane Lanette Barkum is an in-home care provider and mom of three. She commutes about 40 minutes every workday between the Riverside County cities of Lake Elsinore, where she lives, and Moreno Valley, where she works. Over the last few months, Barkum says she has been stressed and scraping by, struggling to balance sharp increases in the cost of gas and food with making enough money to pay for other expenses. “What worries me most about rising prices is that they’ll continue to rise, making it more difficult for lowincome working parents to be able to support their families,”

she said. Terence Henry, who lives in Patterson in the Central Valley, used to drive 77 miles to the Bay Area to make deliveries as an independent contractor. He says the high cost of gas forced

him to give up the job late last year and opt for only making local runs. “It used to cost me about $50 each way to fill up the tank to get to Oakland, San Francisco and other cities,” he said. “It just was not worth it anymore. I was losing money.” Barkum says she hopes there is relief around the corner for people like her who are working hard, raising children and still unable to make ends meet. Barkum and Henry are not alone. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, a 27% of Californians say jobs, the economy and inflation are their top concern over housing costs and availability (12%) and homelessness (11%). Across the United States, the inflation rate is 8.6% -- up from 4.7% last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. And the American Automobile Association reports that the average price per gallon of regular gas in California has risen above $6. Several economists agree that the effects of inflation hit poor and working-class famiContinued on page 7

It was the early summer of 1980. More than 100 artists converged on an abandoned four-story building at Seventh Avenue and 41st Street in New York City that had once served as a massage parlor. Among those in the group was Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988). His work on exhibit was believed to have been his first painting on canvas. Although the exhibition, dubbed “The Times Square Show,” drew critical attention, it boosted 18-yearold Basquiat’s career as a painter. His contribution, a mural painted on a patch of wall, was described by Art in America as “a knockout combination of de Kooning and subway paint scribbles.” The path to that shuttered massage parlor and his rise to success during the 1980s as part of the Neo-expressionism movement were not without difficulty. Basquiat was born into a middle-class family in Brooklyn. His father, Gerard, a Haitian immigrant, was an accountant. His mother, Mathilde, was a homemaker. Despite her frequent hospital stays for depression, Mathilde spent countless hours in the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum with Jean-Michel, encouraging his interest in painting. Gerard, physically abusive, wasn’t involved in his son’s career. Biographies and films have chronicled the strained

relationship between the two, according to DNA Info. Basquiat often said that he “felt friendless and misunderstood.” After his parents separated, Gerard moved with his children to Brooklyn’s Boerum Hill neighborhood. When he was 7, Basquiat’s mother was diagnosed as mentally ill and was eventually institutionalized. This part of his life troubled him greatly. By age 17, Basquiat dropped out of high school. Gerard then threw him out of the house. He stayed with friends, slept in Washington Square Park, and lived in rundown hotels. It was then that he partnered with other graffiti artists and created the persona, SAMO, meaning “same old sh––.” For money, he panhandled and sold sweatshirts and postcards marked with his drawings. He got by on “cheap red wine and 15¢ bags of Cheetos.” Some family members though, dispute Basquiat’s accounts of his early life. With no formal training, Basquiat created work that

mixed graffiti and signs with the gestural and intuitive approach of Abstract Expressionist painting. He expressed his personal angst in highly stylized selfportraits. In the early ’80s, race entered his work for the first time as a reflection of a “growing consciousness of his own position within the New York art world.” His painting “The Death of Michael Stewart” commemorates the killing of the young Black artist by New York City Transit Police. “Black people are never really portrayed realistically…. I mean, not even portrayed in modern art enough,” Basquiat had said. Basquiat died of a drug overdose in 1988. Toward the end of his life, his works were selling around $25,000 to the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Earlier though, both museums had rejected his work.

Last week, Gov.

The State of California announced that it has selected Lendistry, a Black-led-and-operated financial firm in Los Angeles, to act as the intermediary charged with disbursing $500 million in COVID-19 grants to California small businesses and non-profits. The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), which operates under the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), says small businesses and non-profit organizations across California that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can begin submitting applications for relief grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The application process begins now and runs through Jan. 8, 2021. The governor and the Legislature first announced the program November 30.

Bay Area Medical Workers Share Views on COVID-19 Vaccine

By Clifford L. Williams

Thirty-seven-year-old Angela White of Oakland didn’t even flinch when she was administered the COVID-19 vaccine. “I don’t remember when the needle was inserted in my arm after the nurse said ‘you’re done’,” said White. “It was quick and painless.” White, an Emergency Medicine physician at Oakland’s Highland Hospital since 2016, is one of the few Black doctors working in Highland’s emergency room. She took the vaccine on December 18 and is looking forward to her second vaccine shot on Jan. 9, 2021. As of this writing, White has not experienced any major side effects. “There was a small muscle in my arm that was sore for a day but aside from that, I’ve felt pretty normal,” added

To not get the vaccine would be giving up an opportunity to protect ourselves, our health, and the health and livelihood of our friends and community.” “I think using the vaccine is another way of protecting me, in addition to wearing a mask and face shield at work, I also practice social distancing.

There are high hopes in the community for a newly energized school board as four new members set to take office in January pledging to disentangle the multiple crises facing the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), including shuttered classrooms and COVID-19 enforced distance learning, ongoing threats of austerity-driven budget cuts and state-enforced demands to close more neighborhood schools.

Time-of-Use rate plans charge different prices depending on the time of day. Time-of-Use rate plans offer lower prices for 19 hours of the day — before 4 pm and after 9 pm — when cleaner energy is more readily available. By making small changes — like turning off lights you aren’t using after 4 pm or turning on appliances like dishwashers and washing machines right before you go to bed — you can take advantage of lower energy prices while using cleaner energy.

George Henry White in 1900. White, who represented North Carolina, was the House’s only Black lawmaker at the time. Democrat Sen. Cory Booker and Republican Senator Tim Scott, both of whom are Black, introduced the legislation together this time around. “Although no legislation will reverse the pain and fear felt by those victims, their loved ones, and Black communities, this legislation is a necessary step America must take to heal from the racialized violence that has permeated its history,” Booker said in a statement on March 7.

Inflation Worries Grow as California Legislature Approves State Budget

Continued from page 2 lies the hardest. In Southern California, the inflation rate in Riverside and San Bernardino counties in the Inland Empire has risen to 9.4%, according to the UCLA Anderson School of Management. That number is among the highest of increases in the country. Last week, the California Legislature approved a record $300 billion-plus budget for the next fiscal year, the largest annual spending plan in the state’s history. The package includes a surplus of close to $100 billion dollars, half of which must be used to fund schools by law. Included in the budget are plans to spend the other half. So far, legislators have allotted $8 billion in rebates to taxpayers. Another $1.3 bil-

lion has been designated for grants to small business and non-profit organizations. Another $600 million has been specified for tax credits to the lowest-income Californians. While lawmakers – both Democrats and Republicans – and the governor’s office agree that addressing spiraling inflation is urgent, they have not reached agreement on how to provide relief to struggling families. Anthony York, Newsom’s senior advisor for communications, said in a statement that the governor still wants “more immediate, direct relief to help millions more families with rising gas, groceries and rent prices.” At the federal level, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell approved a three-quarter (0.75) percent-

age point rate hike -- the highest single percentage rate increase since 2008. “African American-owned businesses and families are experiencing the damaging effects of inflation including the current interest rate increase instituted by the Federal Reserve Board. “It is important for financial institutions to work with Black-owned businesses and their families to help navigate the rising cost of capital needed to operate and sustain all businesses,” said Timothy Alan Simon, board chair of the California African American Chamber of Commerce. By statute, Newsom has until June 30 to veto the legislators’ budget bill or sign it into law. If the governor approves the budget, it will take effect

July 1, the beginning of the 2022-23 fiscal year. However, negotiations are expected to continue through the end of August as lawmakers hammer out final details. During the public comment section of the Assembly Budget Committee hearing on June 13, Adrian Mohammed, an African American representative of the Bay Area Health Initiative spoke about the exclusion of a $500 million proposal to address Black housing and anti-displacement in the Bay Area in the budget the Legislature passed. “We believe that this is an incredibly timely and incredibly necessary ask and we ask that you continue to work with us to get this to come to fruition,” Mohammed told lawmakers. On June 15, Republican

leaders held a rally at the State Capitol blasting their Democratic colleagues for their inaction on addressing the high cost of gas. “Legislative Republicans are gathered here to remind Californians that it has been 100 days since the governor and the Democrats here in Sacramento promised California consumers relief on gas prices. One hundred days is far too long,” said Assemblymember James Gallagher (RYuba City). After 100 days, we are still waiting with no relief in sight. We need action now. We’ve been calling since January to suspend the gas tax.” Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego said the state’s wealth needs to work for hardworking Californians. She pointed to a provision in

the budget that provides $200 rebates to working families earning up to $250,000 a year and $125,000 for single filers. “We are focused on providing struggling families the relief they need to weather rising costs of fuel and groceries, investing ongoing funding in core programs and services, funding one-time infrastructure projects that will keep California moving for years to come,” she said. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) echoed Atkin’s optimism. “We share a firm belief that our state is strongest when it cares for the weakest among us,” said Rendon. “Our budget proposal continues to lay the groundwork with infrastructure and other investments for future prosperity.”

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: VERNA BROWN A Petition for Probate has been filed by PATRICIA ANN HOLMES in the Superior Court of California, County of ALAMEDA. The Petition for Probate requests that PATRICIA ANN HOLMES be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on JULY 11, 2022 at 9:45 A.M. in Dept. 202 Room N/A located at 2120 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAY, BERKELEY, CA 94704.

NOTICE

LEGALS TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. If the sale occurs after 1/1/2021, the sale may not be final until either 15 or 45 days after the sale date - see Notice to Tenant. Further, no TDUS can be issued until the sale is final. Your bid is subject to being over bid by the Tenant or “eligible bidder” after the sale and if your bid is over bid, your only remedy is to the refund of your actual bid amount without interest or payment of any other costs, expenses or funds of any kind or nature incurred by the initial successor bidder. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 9390772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 19-0184. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-0184 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

California Senate Gets Second Chance to Pass Prison Slavery Bill This Week By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media

On June 23, the California Senate rejected a constitutional amendment to remove language in the state Constitution that allows involuntary servitude as punishment to a crime with a 21-6 vote. The 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude with one exception: if involuntary servitude was imposed as punishment for a crime. The state of California is one of nine states in the country that permits involuntary servitude as a criminal punishment. Article I, section 6, of the California Constitution, describes the same prohibitions on slavery and involuntary servitude and the same exception for involuntary servitude as punishment for crime. The number of votes cast in favor of Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 3, the California Abolition Act, fell short of the two-thirds vote requirement needed to move the bill to the ballot for Californians to decide its fate in the November General Election. The Senate is expected to hold another floor vote on the legislation this week. Sen. Sydney Kamlager (DLos Angeles), who authored ACA 3 in 2021 while serving in the Assembly, said she focused the language in the bill on the slavery ban and vowed to bring it back for a vote when Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, asked her about it June 23. “The CA State Senate just reaffirmed its commitment to keeping slavery and involuntary servitude in the state’s constitution,” Kamlager tweeted. Jamilia Land, a member of the Anti-Violence Safety, and Accountability Project (ASAP), an organization that advocates for prisoners’ rights, said she remains committed to making sure slavery is struck out of the California constitution. “All we needed was 26 votes,” Land said. “But we have made amendments to ACA 3 on (June 24). Now it could either go back to the Senate on (June 27) or Thursday, June 30.” Five Republicans and one Democrat, Steve Glazer (DOrinda), voted against the amendment. He stated that the issue is

“certainly a question worthy of debate” and “can be addressed without a constitutional amendment.” “Slavery was an evil that will forever be a stain on the history of our great country. We eliminated it through the Civil War and the adoption of the 13th Amendment,” Glazer said in a June 23 statement. “Involuntary servitude – though lesser known – also had a shameful past. ACA 3 is not even about involuntary servitude – at least of the kind that was practiced 150 years ago. The question this measure raises is whether or not California should require felons in state or local jails prisons to work.” Glazer said that the Legislative Counsel’s office gave him a “simple amendment” that involuntary servitude would “not include any rehabilitative activity required of an incarcerated person,” including education, vocational training, or behavioral or substance abuse counseling. The Counsel also suggested that the amendment does not include any work tasks required of an incarcerated person that “generally benefit the residents of the facility in which the person is incarcerated, such as cooking, cleaning, grounds keeping, and laundry.” “Let’s adopt that amendment and then get back to work on the difficult challenge of making sure our prisons are run humanely, efficiently and in a way that leads to the rehabilitation of as many felons as pos-

president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, warned that the Supreme Court’s decision may be a precursor to other protections being overturned in the future. “Knowing this moment would come does not make it any less devastating. The Supreme Court has now officially given politicians permission to control what we do with our bodies, deciding that we can no longer be trusted to determine the course for our own lives,” she said. While the SCOTUS’ decision saddens Johnson, she is hopeful that the ruling will

mobilize people to make their voices heard and exercise their power to create change. “But in stripping away our rights, the Supreme Court and anti-abortion politicians have also unleashed a movement. We are a movement that will not compromise on our bodies, our dignity, or our freedom,” she said. “We are a movement that will show up at every town hall, every legislative session, and every ballot box to demand we are treated like equal citizens. We are a movement that will do what we can to get abortion care to people and people to abortion care.”

sible,” Glazer added. Kamlager says “involuntary servitude is a euphemism for forced labor” and the language should be stricken from the constitution. The state’s Department of Finance (DOF) estimated that the amendment would burden California taxpayers with $1.5 billion annually in wages to prisoners, DOF analyst Aaron Edwards told Senate the Appropriations Committee on June 16. “These are facts that we think would ultimately determine the outcome of future litigation and court decisions,” Edwards said. “The largest potential impact is to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, which currently employs around 65,000 incarcerated persons to support central prison operations such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry services.” Right before the Juneteenth holiday weekend, the appropriations committee sent ACA 3 to the Senate floor with a 5-0 majority vote after Kamlager refuted Edwards’ financial data. This country has been having “economic discussions for hundreds of years around slavery, involuntary servitude, and indentured servants” and enslavement still exists in the prison system, Kamlager said. She also added that a conflict was fought over the moral issue of slavery. “This bill does not talk

about economics. It’s a constitutional amendment,” Kamlager said. “The (DOF) is not talking about any of this in this grotesque analysis about why it makes more sense for the state of California to advocate for and allow involuntary servitude in prisons. I think (this conversation) is what led to the Civil War.” Three states have voted to abolish slavery and involuntary servitude — Colorado, Utah, and Nebraska — and in all three cases, the initiative was bipartisan and placed on the ballot by a unanimous vote of legislators, according to Max Parthas, the co-director of the Abolish Slavery National Network (ASNN). ACA 3 is already attached to a report that addresses the harms of slavery. The Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans issued its interim report to the California Legislature on June 1. The report included a set of preliminary recommendations for policies that the California Legislature could adopt to remedy those harms, including its support for ACA 3. It examines the ongoing and compounding harms experienced by African Americans as a result of slavery and its lingering effects on American society today. “One of the preliminary recommendations in our report was to support ACA 3,” said Los Angeles attorney Kamilah V. Moore, chairperson of Task Force. “The Task Force saw how that type of legislation aligns perfectly with the idea of reparations for African Americans.”

ers, according to a fact sheet released this month by the Public Policy institute of California (PPIC). In California, the digital divide is reflective of our economic and racial differences. The gaps, experts say, take on deeper significance at a time when the global coronavirus pandemic has exposed how economic inequality can impact people’s access to information and opportunity. The pandemic has altered the way most Americans live, incre asing our dependency on the internet for everything from keeping up with critical public safety information to learning, working, shopping and staying in touch with family and friends. “As going digital is a way of life, we are encouraged to see that overall internet adoption is increasing,” said Sunne Wright McPeak, president and CEO of the California Emerging Technology Fund (CEMT) in a statement. “Still, far too many Californians are up against a wall of poverty. From our work in education and telehealth, we know home internet is a catalyst for expanding opportunity for all Californians. It’s time for leadership from the highest levels of government and business to crush the wall of poverty,” McPeak emphasized. Founded by the leadership of the California Public Utilities Commission and based in Los Angeles, CEMT describes itself as a public benefit foundation. PPIC pulled much of the data used in its report from the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS). The numbers reveal that only 80% of Latino households and 83% of Black households reported having broadband in 2020 compared to 87% of white households. About 76% of households with annual income below $50,000 were less likely to report broadband access. Households with multiple users require additional bandwidth for reliable access to online instruction and videoconferencing. Both tools became a necessity for many families during the pandemic. And as companies and educational institutions continue to shift their policies to accommodate working and learning from home, the need for reliable and consistent high-speed internet access is expected to persist beyond COVID 19. The average household in California includes 2.7 people and 4.5 for households with school-aged children. The digital divide in K–12 education narrowed during the pandemic, but remote learning was still a challenge for many students.

After most schools and colleges switched to distance learning in spring 2020, educators, corporations and policymakers focused on narrowing the state’s longstanding digital divide by offering free or subsidized equipment and wi-fi service. But digital access is still considerably lower among students from low-income, Black and Latino households. Acknowledging that students of color lacked access to resources such as internet connectivity and devices, State Superintendent Tony Thurmond created a task force to close the digital divide for California students. Most California students spent the entire 2020–21 school year online. According to the April 2022 PPIC Statewide Survey, 44% of parents of schoolaged children -- especially low-income parents (55%) and parents without college degrees (51%) —believe their child suffered learning loss during the pandemic. Recognizing the urgency of the problem, both the federal government and the state government are taking steps to close the digital divide. California Senate Bill (SB) 156, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in 2021, provides $6 billion to expand broadband infrastructure and enhance internet access in unserved and underserved communities. The federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides at least $100 million to expand broadband infrastructure in California. In May 2021, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program, which offered a broadband discount of up to $50 per month. The EBB expired at the end of 2021 and was replaced by the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which offers long-term support for eligible households—but at a reduced amount of $30 per month. Most eligible households are not yet getting broadband subsidies. While the FCC estimates that at least 3.7 million California households are eligible, only 1.4 million had enrolled in the EBB or ACP as of April 2022.

Thousands Attend as 52nd Annual S.F. Black Women Will Suffer Harshest Pride Parade Returns After Pandemic Hiatus Consequences After the Overturn of Roe By Daisha Williams

San Francisco’s first Pride Parade since the COVID-19 pandemic happened on Sunday, June 26, 2022. The streets were filled with joy and color before the parade even started. Formally known as the San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration, the 52nd annual parade was an inclusive space attended by hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the parade route along Market street from Beale to 8th street. It was an all-day affair starting at 10:30 a.m. and going to 5:30 p.m. There was a float that was just Black people, as well as one for Latinx people. Though there didn’t appear to be equal representation of all of the identities within the LGBTQ+ community, most flags were seen at some point during the parade and even more within the crowd. There were people of all ages there. Mary, 60, attended Pride for the first time. When asked why she came, she said, “I’ve wanted to for years and it’s finally back and we weren’t out of town, which is the reason I haven’t in the past.” (Mary was referring to the fact that the celebration didn’t occur in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic.) In response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade two days before the pride event, many people in the parade carried signs protesting

this decision. Since the first Pride, which took place in New York on June 28, 1969, was a protest, the signs and attitude were fitting — especially since the overturning affects people in the LGBTQ+ community, an issue that hasn’t been as widely discussed. In his concurring opinion on June 24, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that the court should review other precedents, including the decision to legalize gay marriage, another decision that removed laws criminalizing gay sex as well as a decision allowing for the right to use contraception. Mina, a 16-year-old Black lesbian, said, “It terrifies me because our rights are next and before you know it, my right to marry someone of the same sex

will be gone.” Pride ended on a very different note than it began, causing organizers to end some events earlier than planned. At one stage near 8th and Market streets, a viewer sprayed the crowd with mace, causing a panicked crowd to scatter. Reports of a shooting turned out to be false, but fears caused minor stampedes and some shop owners locked their doors to keep themselves and patrons safe. People engaged in physical fights on Polk and Hayes streets in what police characterized as a brawl that led to some minor injuries. NBC4news, S.F. Gate and SFist contributed to this report.

The Supreme Court just dealt a devastating blow to reproductive rights. With its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, five Republican-appointed Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court swept away half a century of progress and eviscerated women’s rights and equality. After last month’s leaked opinion, we knew this moment could come, but that doesn’t make the news any easier to digest. For Black women in this country, the decision is especially devastating. Thirteen percent of American women are Black, but 38% of people receiving abortion care are Black. Abortion is necessary healthcare — and a lack of access can quite literally mean life or death for many Black women. This is especially true for Black women who have lower incomes, live in rural areas, and do not have access to health care because of systemic racism and discrimination. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, Black women are nearly three times more likely to die during childbirth than white women and are more likely to face maternal health issues. With new abortion restrictions and bans, these health outcomes are expected to get even worse: a 2021 Duke University study estimated the potential death toll following a total abortion ban and found a 33% increase in Black women who died due to pregnancy-related complications. The states that are already

moving to ban abortion are among those with the largest Black populations in the country. Consider Mississippi, the state with the highest percentage of Black residents in the nation, and one of the 13 states with a “trigger law” that ensured the decision would result in a nearimmediate ban on abortion access. Three other states with the highest proportion of Black residents — Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas — have these trigger laws in place, and many other states, especially in the South, are moving to severely restrict or outright ban abortion. The impact of new abortion bans and restrictions will be felt most acutely by poor and working-class Black women — Black women are significantly more likely to live in poverty compared to white women. For these women, the overturning of Roe won’t mean that abortions will end; it will mean that access to critical, potentially life-saving

healthcare will move hundreds of miles out of reach. It will mean time off of work (likely unpaid) and travel and childcare costs — expenses that may not be possible for women living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to simply put meals on the table. At a time like this, when daughters suddenly have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers, it is challenging to imagine a way forward. But the answer is to do everything we can to restore our rights and ensure every woman has access to the healthcare they need and deserve, a right afforded to them under our nation’s Constitution. To do that, we need to elect and elevate more Black women. Black women have been at the forefront of the fight to protect and expand reproductive rights — from members of Congress like Reps. Cori Bush, Ayanna Pressley, and Lauren Underwood, to our first Black woman Vice President Kamala Harris, to soon-to-be-seated Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. We must elect Stacey Abrams to lead the state of Georgia — one of the states that is now positioned to severely restrict — or overturn the right to access abortion care under the leadership of their current governor, Brian Kemp. And finally, we need to not only encourage, but throw our unwavering support behind more Black women from all across the country to run for office — women who personally To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

NNPA, Transformative Justice Coalition Announce National Campaign to Get 10 Million More Black Voters By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Correspondent

During the national convention marking the 195thanniversary celebration of the Black Press of America in New Orleans, leaders of both the National Newspaper Publishers Association and the Transformative Justice Coalition announced that they would utilize a multivehicle “votercade” campaign aimed at registering and mobilizing GOTV for 10 million more African Americans to vote in time for the 2022 midterms. NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., Richards, NNPA executive board members Janis Ware, Fran Farrer, Cheryl Smith, and Jackie Hampton, Arnwine and Jones helped spell out the effort at the close of their convention on June 25. They said individuals riding in new and COVID-safe tour buses would hit swing states ahead of the November elections to register and mobilize a Get Out The Vote (GOTV) campaign for 10 million new Black voters. Chavis said artists from Roc Nation, the company run by hip-hop magnate and business mogul Jay-Z, would accompany the votercade in some cities. Music superstar Stephanie

Chavis Jr., NNPA president and CEO; Karen Carter Richards, NNPA board chair and president of the Houston Forward Times; Cheryl Smith, NNPA national treasurer and publisher of the Texas Metro News; Janis Ware, NNPA vice chair and publisher of the Atlanta Voice.

Mills also pledged to “get on the bus with the Black Press and the Transformative Justice Coalition.” Chavis said he’s convinced other celebrities will also join the national GOTV campaign. “The first form of voter suppression is self-suppression,” Dr. Chavis asserted. “This last primary election showed that some of us were keeping ourselves from voting. There are 55 million unregistered Americans eligible to vote, and 10 million are African Americans,” Chavis continued. “What if those 10 million

were registered? We wouldn’t have worried about Donald Trump or the craziness of what the U.S. Supreme Court is doing now. Elections have consequences. The overturned Roe v. Wade, the overturned gun laws – are consequences of elections.” The votercade would help educate voters and explain what’s legal, among other things. “We’re calling on all 235 NNPA members,” Dr. Chavis said. “That call and response from our brothers and sisters are vital. It’s movement time, it is time Get-Out-The-Vote” he

declared further. “With the Transformative Justice Coalition, the NNPA will help move our people forward to get out this vote. In 2022, we will make the critical difference in the midterm elections in terms of increasing Black voter participation throughout the country.” Ahead of the all-important 2022 midterm elections, reports show that more than 55 million Americans remain unregistered to vote – and about 10 million are African AmeriTo read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

Will Cassidy Hutchinson Shame Republicans to Tell The Truth? Opinion

We got our fireworks early this week at the Jan. 6 Select Committee Hearings in Congress. And boy, did we need them. The hearings are intended to help us understand what really happened when a mob nearly prevented a presidential election from being certified. But we can’t get to that until someone has the courage to tell the truth. And it needed to be someone on the MAGA inside, like Cassidy Hutchinson, 25, a white female conservative Republican. You want to know what it was like on the day of Jan. 6

from within the White House? Hutchinson was in the West Wing, a top aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. And so, Hutchinson did what even her old boss has failed to do-- cooperate with the committee. At the hastily set up hearing this week, under oath, garbed in a white blazer, she was like a symbol of light. She had the courage to break the Trump code and speak out. We learned that the morning of the big rally on Jan. 6, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone told Hutchinson to “make sure we don’t go to the Capitol.” The consequences? Hutchinson said Cipollone

told her that “we’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen.” Hutchinson testified it wasn’t the first time Cipollone mentioned that going back to the Capitol would look like they were obstructing the Electoral College count or generally inciting a riot. But as the day of Jan. 6 evolved, Hutchinson said that Trump knew the crowd was violent and armed, and that once the rally attendees made it to the Capitol, Trump wanted to be there. Perhaps to admire his handiwork? Hutchinson testified about an incident after the rally in the presidential limo, “the Beast,” when Trump was told by Secret Service chief Bobby Engel that they were going back to the

she said. “I really feel for parents, students, teachers. We have been through so much trauma, and they have every right to feel distrustful and fearful about this decision. But I believe that it is different this time. “When you look at districts like Stockton, Fremont, San Jose, they serve roughly

the same number of students, about (33,000). But they do it in almost half the campuses, between 41 and 48 campuses in those three districts, whereas Oakland has EIGHTY CAMPUSES (Schaaf’s emphasis). “This is an opportunity to do better for our students, our educators, our families, and I trust this leader to deliver on

that promise in a way that has never happened before.” To review Mayor Schaaf’s remarks, go to the original interview at https://archive.org/details/ KQED_20220205_030000_ KQED_Newsroom/start/360/ end/420

is acting like a “corporate raider” who takes money out of the A’s instead of investing in his team. Instead of giving a billion dollars to Fisher’s private development, the city should be investing in building and maintaining public parks and other infrastructure needs, he said. Naomi Schiff, a housing activist, said, “The Howard Terminal deal keeps getting more expensive” for taxpayers. adding that the stadium at Howard Terminal would be built on a “inundation zone and liquification zone.” According to a news report from the Athletic the Oakland A’s have scored a major victory by receiving a 23-2 vote of

approval from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC)to remove the Howard Terminal’s Port Designation status. This vote will allow the A’s to move forward in their efforts to build a stadium at the foot of Market Street. The Athletic reported that, “If BCDC had decided not to remove port designation for the site — which includes 56 acres that the A’s want to develop with a $1 billion 35,000seat ballpark, 3,000 residential units, offices and retail spaces — the Howard Terminal project, and likely the chances that the A’s would remain in Oakland beyond 2024, would’ve been killed.”

The BCDC vote is not the final approval in the process because the A’s still need to go back to the BCDC to apply for a permit to build on the site. Mayor Schaaf said,“Today’s vote moves Oakland toward a more prosperous future. Our city has historically been overlooked for major economic development, but today that story about Oakland changes. I’m deeply grateful to the BCDC commissioners and every local resident – in Oakland and across our Bay Area region – who showed up to advocate for more affordable housing, more union jobs, and more public access to our waterfront.”

White House and not the Capitol. “I’m the f—ing president,” Trump said according to Hutchinson’s testimony. Then Trump tried to grab the wheel and physically threatened Engel. Is any of this activity criminal? Let the Justice Department decide. Our lower bar as Americans is to ask if this unhinged man is a person who should have ever been president. Before this week, two Black women emerged as the stars of the Jan. 6 Select Committee Hearings: former Georgia election worker Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, and her mother, Ruby Freeman, who was falsely accused by no less than Donald Trump himself of being a “vote scammer.” To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

Oakland Mayor Greets Old Friend at Lakefest

At Oakland’s Third Annual LakeFest celebration on June 25, 2022, Oakland Post Ambassador Jonathan ‘Fitness’ Jones ran into longtime friend and supporter Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. As Schaaf exited the stage after making remarks at an event touting Oakland culture through music, dance, fashion, food and more, she greeted Jones by demonstrating his highly acclaimed “breathing aerobics” technique. Both Oakland natives, Jones and Schaaf became acquainted when the mayor was an Oakland City Councilmember representing District 4. Back then Jones taught her his breathing/aerobics exercises at his fitness studio in the Laurel District, which the mayor has utilized ever since, and which has been an invaluable tool in contributing to her overall health and wellness. With over 30 years of experience in the health and fitness field, Jones is a member of the African American Sports & Entertainment Group and creator of Breathing Aerobics, a health and wellness company that specializes in teaching specific breathing exercises to improve overall health. He has taught Breathing Aerobics on major television and radio stations, which has earned him the moniker, “Guru of Breathing.” For more info on Breathing Aerobics go to www.breathingaerobics.com

women are forced to carry pregnancies to term, there will be a disproportionate increase in deaths of Black women in childbirth, according to a study published by Duke University Press. Texas Governor, Gregg Abbott stated “under no exceptions will abortions be allowed in Texas up to and including rape and incest; Texas leads the nation in rape cases. “ Using a hypothetical model, this could result in a 12-year-old girl being raped by her father, and the child would be the mother’s sister and daughter. Where do we go from here? We go to the polls in local areas and vote for people who will support your choice.

Professionals will be invited to discuss, the theology, sociology, political, and medical impact from the Roe v Wade abortion reversal.

are being pushed out right here in Oakland, too, by closing the institution that educates us,” said Cynthia Mahood Levin, president of the Coalition. “Closing a women’s college at the same time women’s rights are being violated by the Supreme Court is shameful.” According to documents submitted to Bonta by the Coalition, Mills College President Elizabeth Hillman and the Board of Trustees knowingly misrepresented Mills’ finances by claiming the college was insolvent in order to justify selling Mills. At the same time, Mills was accepting government funding because of its excellent financial ratings and continued to recruit students. “One of the most expensive schools in the country (Northeastern University) is moving into one of the state’s most underserved communities of color. Instead of educating women, people of color and LGBTQ students like Mills does now, they are being pushed out, their assets taken away, and Mills will be replaced with a token Institute to study how to help women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community. It’s total hypocrisy,” said Kieran Turan, vice president of the Save Mills Coalition. The Coalition asked Bonta to issue injunctive relief and investigate the impact on students and hold the school’s administration accountable for both civil and potentially criminal actions. The grassroots group plans to demand elected officials stand up for their constituents’ values - protecting women’s rights, the rights of women of color and LGBTQ communities, and their access to education at a women’s college. The Coalition continues to demand that Bonta take action to stop this acquisition in order to investigate the irrevocable damage done to students. Shoshanna Howard is the media coordinator for the Save Mills College Coalition.
