Having Our Say on Howard Terminal Commentary

By Greg Hodge

Voters in a democracy should always get the final say. A recent poll indicates that 76% of those asked believed that the voter’s should have been allowed to weigh in on whether public dollars should be spent on the Howard Terminal project that would create a new home for the Oakland A’s.

12,000 people signed a petition to encourage our City Council to put the question to the voters as to whether any public monies — local, state or federal — should be used to build the stadium, affordable housing or to finance infrastructure in an around the Howard Terminal site. The City Council rejected this reasonable request, and it makes us wonder, “Why?” Why would the Mayor and the City Council be reluctant to hear from the voters, even if it was a “non-binding” vote? A representative democracy requires that we listen to the will of the people.

Abortion — A Theological Issue

and Christian Responses

By Rev. Dr. Martha C. Taylor

We are living in a world where controversial, complex issues, disagreements, debates, misunderstandings are looming large. There are controversies on gun control, vaccines, living wages, Black lives matter, animal rights, religious freedom, health care, white supremacy, voting rights, Trump, Ukraine War, Covid spreading, mass killings and the congressional January 6th sedition hearings, to name a few.

In an earth-shattering decision on June 24, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.

Justice Alito wrote “Abortion presents a profound moral issue on which Americans hold sharply conflicting views.

Some believe fervently that a human person comes into being at conception and that abortion ends an innocent life. Others feel just as strongly that any regulation of abortion invades a woman’s right to control her own body and prevents women from achieving full equality.

Still others in a third group think that abortion should be allowed under some, but not all circumstances, and those within this group hold a variety of views about the particular restrictions that should be imposed. The Court’s decision held that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion, and going forward, abortion rights will be determined by each state. In. other words, abortion does not automatically become illegal nationwide, however in states that ban abortion, it could result in a felony and doctors could face prison time.

The abortion debate has

profound implications on how theological views are preached and taught in individual churches, homes including seminaries. The pews are split; some say abortion is murder, while others say, the woman has a right to control her body.

This leads to the question; how does your faith shape your position on abortion? What Bible passages do you cite to justify your position?

Some profess to preach and teach a prophetic liberating gospel, yet when it comes to the theological and moral issue of abortion, they take a stance Continued on Page 8

Oakland City Council Deals Blow to Emerald New Deal – How Dare They Deny Rejects Plan to Bring $160M Into Black, Brown Communities Our Right to Vote on Public Funds

By Post Staff

By Kitty Epstein

On July 5, the City Council rejected the request of Oakland voters to place a measure on the 2022 ballot to allow them to weigh in on whether the city should spend public funds on infrastructure for billionaire A’s owner John Fisher’s privately owned baseball stadium and luxury condominium project at Howard Terminal.

Along with 800 likely voters, 76% of us said ‘yes’ to a survey by a nationally acclaimed polling firm that asked if we wanted to be heard before the City spent public money on infrastructure and other costs associated with the A’s development project. We followed that by getting 12,000 signatures on petitions sent directly to the Council demanding they place the question on the Nov. 8, 2022, ballot.

But the Council folded under the bully tactics and rejected the ballot question with several phony excuses, including: · Money for the A’s is not coming out of the general fund · The project is too complicated for the voters to understand · There is no deal yet, so it is premature to ask voters their opinion The voters never asked to weigh in on whether the A’s should be allowed at Howard Terminal. They only wanted to give an advisory vote on whether the City should

spend $1 billion of public infrastructure funds for a privately owned ballpark and luxury condominium complex.

More than 100 speakers told the Council that public funds include money from the city, the county, the state, and the federal government.

These are dollars that should not be committed to a ballpark and luxury condos when Oakland has surging homelessness and public safety emergencies.

In the end, the City Council gave in to construction unions who want to build the ballpark and luxury condos and they bent their collective knee to the A’s owner who doesn’t care about Oakland. By siding with billionaire Fisher and the unions, the Council let their own constituents down.

Two brave Councilmembers — Noel Gallo and Carroll Fife — favored the public’s right to vote. Councilmembers Dan Kalb, Niki Fortunato Bas, Sheng Thao, Loren Taylor, and Treva Reid Continued on Page 8

The Oakland City Council voted Tuesday to deny placing the community-driven Emerald New Deal (END) on the upcoming November ballot. The proposed ballot measure was designed to funnel 100% of the city’s cannabis tax revenue to Black and Brown communities in East and West Oakland.

According to councilmembers Noel Gallo, Treva Reid and Loren Taylor, who all supported it, Noel Gallo END’s plan would help repair the damage caused by the War on Drugs. Gallo, who grew up in Oakland, also urged the Council to make a serious commitment to supporting jobs, affordable housing and support for the formerly incarcerated residents.

Despite all councilmembers claiming to be progressive and supportive of the Black and Brown community, only three of them voted in support of this community-led initiative.

“No” votes came from Councilmembers Sheng Thao and Carroll Fife, while Dan Kalb and Nikki Fortunato Bas abstained.

In a response to the City Council’s denial of the Emerald New Deal proposal the supporters held a press conference at City Hall to express their frustration. Over the next 20 years, the Emerald New Deal, funded by an estimated $160 million in cannabis taxes, could have improved the lives of thousands of Oakland residents by supporting affordable housing, re-entry services,

workforce development, and other restitution efforts.

“This temporary setback does not mean our work is done,” declared Taylor during Wednesday’s press conference. “There is no excuse for rejecting the Emerald New Deal except a desire to maintain the status quo and keep Black people oppressed. Having a pool of $160 million in cannabis tax revenue over the next 20 years could have healed a lot of lives, housed a lot of people, and righted a lot of wrongs — especially in the Black community.”

One community group supporting the amendment is Emerald New Deal Healing And Reparations Measure or END HARM. “The END HARM community coalition’s call to action will rise beyond the five Council votes needed to advance the Emerald New Deal ballot measure,” said Councilmember Treva Reid, who represents Continued on Page 8

Alameda County Awards $4 Million Learning Black History Year-Round Former Slave Bridget “Biddy” Mason, in Grants for Licensed Early Los Angeles Real Estate Mogul Care & Education Providers The Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved the distribution of $4 million in one-time federal relief grants to support local Early Care and Education (ECE) system needs and infrastructure made possible by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

“The COVID pandemic has highlighted the critical role of childcare in the United States and especially in Alameda County. Childcare is a key economic driver for families, employers, and communities to thrive,” said Supervisor Keith Carson, president of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.

To apply for grants, licensed childcare providers will be required to complete a general County online application to verify they are currently active, licensed and providing care.

Applications are available in the County’s threshold languages.

(FCC) and center-based licensed programs will qualify for a minimum award of $3,350 and small licensed FCC’s will qualify for a minimum award of $2,350.

“While the ECE field has shown tremendous creativity and resilience to keep their doors open to support children and families, they have also been severely impacted by the challenges of COVID-19 and struggle to keep their doors open,” said Andrea Ford, interim agency director for the Alameda County Social Services Agency.

“Childcare keeps Alameda County working and these awards are one step to supporting equity and social justice in a field where the workforce is held predominantly by women of color,” said Ford.

The state of California joined the Union in 1850 as a free state. But after spending five years enslaved there, Bridget “Biddy” Mason (1818–1891) challenged her owner, Robert Smith, for her freedom.

In 1856, a Los Angeles district judge approved Mason’s Bridget ‘Biddy’ Mason had petition, a ruling that freed Mamade her living as a nurse and son and 13 members of her fammidwife.

Mason organized what is now the oldest African American church in Los Angeles: First A.M.E. Church. She used her wealth to give back to and support the entire community, donating to numerous charities, feeding and sheltering the poor, visiting prisoners, and was instrumental in founding an elementary school for Black children.

At the time of her death in 1891, Mason had amassed a fortune of $300,000 (approximately $6 million today), making her the “richest colored woman west of the Mississippi.” She was buried in an unmarked grave in Evergreen Cemetery.

In 1988, the mayor of Los Angeles and members of the church she founded held a ceremony, during which time her grave was marked with a tombstone. More importantly, Mason left a legacy of perseverance, compassion, and triumph.

Alameda County Childcare Measure Upheld in Court

By Zaidee Stavely EdSource

A sales tax measure that would provide more subsi-

dized childcare and preschool for low-income children in Alameda County was upheld by the Alameda County Superior

First Five CEO Kristin Spanos.

Court July 7.

Measure C was passed by 64% of voters in March 2020 but was contested in court.

Plaintiffs argued that California law requires a 66% vote for local governments to raise taxes for a specific purpose, like childcare. Local officials have argued that only a simple majority is needed if a tax measure was put on the ballot by voters, and not by the local government.

The measure added a half percent sales tax on local purchases — 50 cents for every $100 — to raise an estimated $30 million a year for pediatric health care and an estimated $120 million a year for improving childcare workers’ wages and increasing the number of subsidized childcare and preschool slots for low-income children.

The tax is being collected but is not being spent, while the case goes through the courts.

Plaintiffs have a 60-day window to appeal the deciContinued on page 7

you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

California Ed Chief Tony Thurmond’s Equity Initiatives Gain National Recognition

By Joe W. Bowers Jr. California Black Media

California is the winner of the 2022 Frank Newman Award for State Innovation.

The nation’s preeminent education award for innovation, it recognizes a state for enacting reforms or implementing programs that go beyond marginal or incremental changes to improve student outcomes on a large scale.

According to the Education Commission of the States, California is being recognized for “its coordinated approach to educating all students from preschool to postsecondary, with explicit attention toward whole-child supports and services, as well as its historic financial investments to ensure educational equity.”

In his press release announcing the win, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said, “This is an incredible honor, and while the work continues, we’re proud of this national recognition that shows how California is improving educational outcomes for its students, closing equity gaps, and transforming education for students from pre-kindergarten to adulthood.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose administration has made funding public education a priority, acknowledged receiving the award by saying, “California is transforming education from pre-kindergarten through to college and beyond, empowering students and families with more supports, more choices, and more opportuni-

ties. This award recognizes the hard work that’s gone into this transformative change by leaders throughout the state … and the winners here are California’s kids and parents.”

The Newman Award announcement coincided with school districts finalizing their 2022-23 budgets which were due at their County Office of Education by June 30. Their budgets are bolstered by the highest level of funding in state history for all K-12 education programs — $128.6 billion is being allocated. Per pupil spending is $22,893 an all-time high.

The award recognized California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) as one of the nation’s most equitable formulas. LCFF allocates more resources to school districts educating low-income students. In this year’s state budget, school districts are receiving a $9.0 billion increase in ongoing LCFF funding, a 13% base increase over 2021-22 rates.

The award noted that in the last two years, California has approved increases to the LCFF allowing school districts to add more teachers, counselors, paraprofessionals, and other student support providers.

A letter nominating the state for the award read, “… [W]e believe there is no other state doing as much to advance educational equity for its neediest students as California is doing today.”

Since taking office in 2019, Thurmond has championed and created initiatives taking

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond

into consideration the unique needs of California’s students.

In order to achieve equity and transformative change he has promoted mental health programs, community schools, literacy, expanded learning programs, professional development, anti-racism training, and universal schools and universal meals programs.

Thurmond told California Black Media (CBM) that, “Starting out my goal was to figure out how to support Black students wherever they are in the state.” His Task Force on Closing the Achievement Gap has been the source of a number of recommendations advancing equity for all students.

Task Force recommendations include: Supporting literacy as a strategy for closing the gap.

In 2021 Thurmond launched a campaign committed to ensuring all students read by third

majority of assistance went to very low-income households.

Homelessness prevented, public health protected, families stabilized.”

While rent is on the rise in the Sacramento area, Poplar said she has not raised rent on her tenants because she “knows the tenants can’t afford it.”

She also said that her taxes

go up every year.

“Anyone who isn’t paying rent is getting evicted after COVID-19 is over,” said Poplar. “If I don’t catch up with everything I need to catch up with, my bills, I’m going to lose what I’ve worked so hard for in the last 17 years.”

She said that she’s worried the banks will take her and her husband’s property if they can-

not continue to afford it due to pandemic-related income loss.

“I would lose everything,” said Poplar.

According to reports, the lawsuit related to the court’s decision to uphold the rent payment law was filed by Better Housing for Long Beach and they are considering appealing to the Supreme Court.

school subsidies from the state would receive additional money to cover more of their enrollment costs.

An estimated 3,300 teachers and assistant teachers would receive classes, coaching and higher compensation.

“As the named administrator of Measure C’s childcare funds, First 5 Alameda County stands ready

to move the initiative forward,” said Kristin Spanos, chief executive officer of First 5 Alameda County in a statement. “As a society, we have failed to fully fund early care and education (ECE) for decades to the detriment of providers, the workforce,

grade by 2026. This effort includes securing funds for literacy supports and school libraries as well as for family engagement supports for literacy. This year’s budget includes $250

million to be spent over 5 years to hire literacy coaches and reading specialists for low-income elementary schools, and to implement evidence-based literacy strategies for preschool through third grade students and their families.

Diversifying the teacher workforce. Thurmond developed and sponsored AB 520 (Mike Gipson, D-Carson), which called for expanding male educators of color. This bill was embedded into the 2021 budget which allocated $350 million in residency grants for teacher preparation programs with an emphasis on diversifying the teacher workforce. $184 million in new funding for teacher residencies is included in the 2022-23 budget and eligibility is expanded to include counselors.

and align its immediate County COVID-19 response to support the ECE field.

Led by the Alameda County Social Services Agency, partner agencies include Alameda County Early Care & Education Planning Council, Alameda County Office of Education, Alameda County Public Health, BANANAS, Community Child Care Council (4Cs) of Alameda County, First 5 Alameda County (F5AC) and Hively. The goal is to ensure the grants funding reaches most if not all licensed ECE providers throughout the County.

The pandemic continues its impact on the ECE system.

Nationally, nearly half of childcare providers closed at the beginning of the pandemic, and while many have reopened, data shows that, “86% are serving significantly fewer children than they were prior to the pandemic; on average, enrollment is down by 67%. Two out of five childcare providers are certain that they will close permanently without additional public assistance.”

“Alameda County tremendously values the local ECE field and is honored to provide some relief as we collectively work towards the long road to recovery,” said Ford.

Supporters of “Involuntary Servitude” Bill Calif. Senate Rejected Vow to Bring It Back 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).

Kamlager said involuntary servitude “is a euphemism for forced labor” and the language should be removed entirely from the state’s constitution.

On June 23, the state Senate rejected the amendment to ban the language with a 21-6 vote.

Without the input of 13 Senators that did not cast a vote, ACA 3 was seven ballots shy of passage.

“The CA State Senate just reaffirmed its commitment to keeping slavery and involuntary servitude in the state’s constitution,” Kamlager tweeted after the measure failed to pass.

The Legislature is now on summer recess until the first week of August.

Steve Glazer (D-Orinda),

the lone Democrat that voted against the amendment on June 23, inferred that ACA 3 raises the question of “whether or not California should require felons in state or local jails prisons to work.” He brought forth the notion based on information he received from the state’s Department of Finance (DOF).

The DOF estimated that the amendment would burden California taxpayers with $1.5 billion annually in wages to prisoners, DOF analyst Aaron Edwards told the Senate Appropriations Committee on June 16.

Samuel Nathaniel Brown, a member of the Anti-Violence Safety and Accountability Project (ASAP), an organization that advocates for prisoners’ rights, said the Senate “messed up” when it failed to remove the language from California’s Constitution.

Brown helped author ACA 3 while he was in prison. He was released in December 2021 after serving a 24-year sentence.

“The people in California want to end slavery now. Two

and families.”

“The pandemic has made the challenges even more acute and worsened inequities that have harmed low-income and families of color for too long,” Spanos continued. “These public resources are needed now

more than ever to support and strengthen our county’s early childhood system, particularly with an equity lens.

“First 5 is proud to partner with the early care and education field and community in support of children and families,” Spanos said.

Senators took it upon themselves to deny the people an opportunity to vote on ACA3 and many people are disappointed and upset,” Brown said. “We will now return more educated, agitated, concentrated, and dedicated. We will eradicate the overt vestiges of white supremacy that taint our constitution, weaken our system of rehabilitation, and undermine public safety.”

ACA 3 is connected to the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans’ Interim Report that was submitted to the California Legislature on June 1.

The report examines the ongoing and compounding harms experienced by African Americans as a result of slavery and its lingering effects on American society today. It also provides a remedy to those harms, including its support for ACA 3.

“This effort was uniquely personal to me,” Kamlager stated. “I will continue to fight to speak the truth about our history so that we can learn from it and be better. That is democracy.”

Understanding What Happened on Jan. 6

By Emil Guillermo

Opinion

That James Webb Telescope is so amazing.

NASA pointed it into the darkness of space, and suddenly saw the truth — stars and galaxies we never knew existed.

At the speed of light, that’s a look back 13 billion years.

I wish all of America could see more clearly right here on Earth, just about Jan. 6, 2021.

It doesn’t take a telescope.

You just need to keep watching the Jan. 6 Select Committee hearings.

If you think all that is nonsense for government nerds, consider the statement of Rep. Bennie Thompson, (D-Mississippi) the chair of the Jan. 6 Select Committee.

He knows how important it is especially for the African American community.

“I am from a part of the country where had it not been for the federal government and the Constitution, my parents and many more Americans like them would have continued to be treated as second-class citizens,” Thompson said. “The freedom to be able to vote without harassment, travel in relative safety, and dine and seat where you choose is be-

cause we have a government that looks over the wellbeing of its citizens.”

And that, Thompson said, did not happen on Jan. 6, 2022, on Trump’s watch.

“It was an attack on our country,” Thompson said. “An attack on our democracy, on our Constitution. A sitting president with a violent mob trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power from one president to another. It still makes my blood boil to think of it.”

Yours should be boiling, too.

If you were hesitant to call Jan. 6 a planned coup, just watch the July 12 hearing. There’s more corroborating testimony from people in Trump’s inner circle like White House Counsel Pat Cipollone who knew what happened from December of 2020 leading up to Jan. 6.

The story is not good for our democracy. Trump knew he lost the election but kept searching for ways to hold on to power. Things became “unhinged” at a Dec. 18, 2020, meeting when Trump personal advisors Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Michael Flynn (a.k.a. the “crazy ones”) suggested everything from foreign election interference to voting machine fraud to a massive ral-

community organizer who believes that the people’s voices should be heard!”

END HARM’s goal is to register 5,000 returning family members to vote in the November election. “We need to register and express the power to affect policy for the People!” said Reed.

Emerald New Deal supporters announced that they will continue to fight to get placed on the ballot.

Councilmembers Taylor and Reid joined community advocates Deacon Hellen Harvey, Gamila Abdelhahim, and John Jones III, to demonstrate their full support of END HARM charter amendment. They note that the War on Drugs, which, in Oakland, led to over 12,655 individual arrests for cannabis offenses between 1995 and 2015 with 77% of those incarcerated being Black and 15% being LatinX. Supporters of END HARM anticipate more than $12 million being allocated to support social equity investments, including but not limited to: * Reentry programs and support for the formerly incarcer-

ly with the most rabid Trump supporters.

Cipollone suggested conceding the loss. The argument was loud, but the normal Trump loyalists lost.

Then Trump tweeted: “Big protest in D.C, on January 6th.

Be there. Will be wild.”

Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D/ Fla) called it a “siren call.” The Asian American member of Congress shared how she was the only member of the committee “who was not blessed to be born American.” She was born in Vietnam, from where her family fled a communist government and was rescued by the U.S. Navy and given sanctuary in America.

She noted how decades later she was serving as a congresswoman and under attack on Jan. 6.

It was another moment of context from an Asian American perspective that let us know that every American is a stakeholder in these hearings.

Murphy also read text messages that Trump’s former campaign manager Brad Parscale wrote on Jan. 6.

“This is about Trump pushing for uncertainty in our country, a sitting president asking for a civil war,” Parscale texted to Katrina Pierson. “I feel guilty for helping him win.”

When Pierson tried to re-

lieve him of blame, Parscale texted: “Yeah, but a woman is dead, and yeah, if I was Trump and I knew my rhetoric killed someone…”

When Pierson again pushed back, Parscale insisted it was the rhetoric that killed her.

People of color know the acts of a killing mob, and this hearing featured the testimony of repentant rioters.

Jason Van Tatenhove, a former propagandist for the nationalist group, “The Oathkeepers,” warned that the country is “exceedingly lucky that more bloodshed did not happen because the potential was there from the start.” And it could get worse if Trump wins again.

Stephen Ayres, a Jan. 6 rioter who went to D.C. because he felt called by Trump, testified he feels lied to. He said Jan. 6 changed his life for the worse.

He lost his job, and nearly his house. He warned Americans who still believe the ‘Big Lie’ to “take the (horse) blinders off.”

Doesn’t take a telescope to see how close a failed coup imperiled our democracy on Jan. 6.

ated; * Community-based mental health services; * Affordable and transitional housing access; and, * Workforce development and training. * Cannabis Equity Program participants (business owners impacted by the war on drugs) Reid said that END grew out of community organizing in Sobrante Park in District 7, which has a population of 65,000 people, 80% of which are Black and Brown neighbors struggling under the weight of decades of racism, disparities, inequities, and disinvestment.

“As national support rises for the decriminalization of cannabis use we must ensure the Cannabis Business Tax revenue is dedicated to benefitting historically impacted Black and Brown communities,” Reid said.

The Emerald New Deal is already endorsed by more than 40 local organizations, including the Black Cultural Zone, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Urban Strategies Council, Spiritwurx and West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project.

Community advocates who are leading the effort to mobilize city wide support, emphasize how significant the impact will be on Oaklanders who are healing from the War on Drugs.

“The Emerald New Deal is an historic ordinance that will fulfill some of the promises made when we first legalized marijuana and established the cannabis program. We are doing this not just for those who have suffered, but also for those who continue to deal with the effects of broken families and trauma, and for our future generations,” said Gamila Abdelhahim. “We now turn to all other City Council representatives, and ask them to acknowledge the harm that has been caused, be in this monumental moment with us, and vote to lift our future generations.”

Community organizer John Jones III asserted, “As it relates to the War on Drugs, it is not enough to simply acknowledge and/or apologize, but rather provide restitution and reparations for the harm inflicted upon the Black and Brown community” “…Now that marijuana is legalized, it is only right that the very system that over-criminalized cannabis usage in certain areas, gives back to those same communities,” said Taylor. “I am grateful for Councilmembers Reid and Gallo who agree and have joined me in uplifting this legislation. I look forward to seeing the transformational impact it has on our community.”

Oakland City Council Deals Blow to Emerald New Deal – Rejects Plan to Bring $160M Into Black, Brown Communities District 7. “The community will remain actively involved with us to organize and mobilize support to overcome the racially inequitable impacts of the War on Drugs and decades of devastating outcomes in East and West Oakland communities Reid said city leaders must increase targeted and intentional measures to restore communities from the “crippling effect of disinvestment, systemic injustice, and racial disparities. City Council must prioritize well-funded measures that help to deliver a just, equitable, and resilient recovery for all Oaklanders.”

END HARM organizer Charles Reed is a returning family member who saw a need in his community but left his “first fight of shaping public policy” battered and bruised from baseless accusations.

“For me, this was an education in Oakland politics,” Reed continued. “Now, I understand why normal people steer clear of politics. The thing is ... I’m not a normal person, I’m a

ignored the pleas of their constituents and voted against placing an advisory vote on the ballot.

As an extremely disappointed voter who participated in the poll and one of the 12,000 who signed petitions supporting a right to vote, I want to make sure all Oaklanders know who let them down and what they can do about it.

Councilmembers Thao, Taylor and Reid are running for Mayor. Councilmember Bas is running for re-election. These people think voters cannot be trusted to advise on whether public money should be spent on the A’s, but they want those same voters to elect them to office.

Councilmember Fife pointed out the duplicity of their position. She said the public will have their say in November one way or another. “Even if this (ballot vote) doesn’t move forward today, it will be in front of the Oakland voters in November, in the form of who they vote for, for re-election.”

I respect some important actions taken by the Council this year on issues like the business tax. However, if they can’t stand up to the construction trades leadership who are predominately white and right-wing billionaire Fisher on this critical Oakland matter, what other negative actions will they take on similar projects and on requests from their constituents?

This fight is far from over. If Oakland City Council members continue in their refusal to allow voters to a say in agreeing to a bad deal, the voters always have the right to overturn the Council’s action by referendum vote. That is even more likely now that the Council has added insult to injury by rejecting the right to vote and bending their knees to the whims of the A’s owner.

$18 — $29 per hour, but when you factor in a short commute to work, there are additional savings to factor in as well, such as no tolls, little gas, and your time.”

These career fairs are part of the Postal Service’s Delivering for America plan. The plan includes creating a stable and empowered workforce, especially for associates who are not yet in career positions. In addition, it expands training and long-term career development programs, offers safety improvements, and establishes an Executive Diversity Council to advance a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Applicants should bring two (2) valid forms of I.D. to the job fair. Fingerprinting will be done on site. In addition, applicants for carrier and other driving positions must have a valid state driver’s license, a safe driving record, and two years of unsupervised experience driving passenger cars or larger vehicles. The driving must have taken place in the U.S. or its possessions or territories or in U.S. military installations worldwide.

To assist potential applicants, USPS personnel will be on-site to provide detailed information about the positions and answer questions. Applications are accepted online only at www.usps. com/careers.

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and be able to pass

Abortion – A Theological Issue and Christian Responses Continued from page 1

that they will not make a comment in public. This raises the question of who really speaks for the church. Can bishops, pastors, lay ministers, elders, and Sunday School teachers be expected to reflect the thinking of the membership? Does the membership dictate what can be preached? In the words of a well-known pastor, do we just deal with the sweet now and now, and not the nasty now and now? I believe he got it right. Are you a prophet who will speak on difficult sensitive subjects, or do you skirt them in favor of not upsetting the pews with realities that may be painful to some?

We must deal with moral sensitive issues without injuring the freedom of women. I believe the question of whether the church should be involved in social and political issues is not that difficult. The more difficult is why it should be involved and how, and more importantly using scripture to justify their position. What about those who take scripture as a means of justifying their position on moral issues. History informs us that enslaved women were forced to have sex with their slave masters as a means of birthing more slaves; the slave owners used the scripture, “slaves obey your masters.”

With regards to abortion, some declare that God said abortion is murder, though they cannot find a thread of evidence in the bible to back their statement and rely on the commandment “thou shalt not kill.” Some pastors have interpreted scripture to say, God does not want a woman preaching or teaching. Some pastors are taking scripture out of context on the pretext that the Lord is speaking, when it is highly possible their interpretation is a misinterpretation. This all suggests that people sometimes appeal to the Bible and other religious sources in selective and self-serving ways; they come to the Bible with their previously held moral assumptions and seek to find something in the Bible to justify them.

The Bible does not talk explicitly about abortion, pro or con in any kind of way. It’s just not there.

Overturning Roe assumes that some life, some bodies, are worth more than others — that some bodies can and should be restricted, controlled and used at will.

In the coming months as states create new abortion restrictions, the same kind of underground movement of women searching for safe abortions most likely will become a reality again. Will Christians accompany these women? Or, will the loudest Christian response to abortion continue to be the Religious Right, shouting from their place of privilege, piety and power? Dr. Obery Hendricks, biblical scholar and activist reminds us, “some Black Christians can be some of the most religiously conservative people in America.”

Continue to pray for Brittney Grimes, our daughter, sister, friend.

Having Our Say on Howard Terminal Continued from page 1

bond measures to finance improvements at Lake Merritt — just to name a few examples.

Some argued that it would be confusing for voters. Some argued that the extra time required would delay the project to the point that it might not happen.

When the San Francisco Giants franchise wanted to build what became AT&T park, the question was put to San Francisco voters.

During the fall of 1996, an initiative was on the ballot introducing a new stadium to be located in the China Basin/South Beach part of the city. Voters in San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Jose all rejected measures to help finance the construction of a new stadium, likely recalling the controversy surrounding Candlestick Park. The new owner bought the team with the hope of keeping the team in SF; eventually finding a way to finance construction privately.

As part of the financing of the new stadium, the Giants received a $10 million tax abatement, and $80 million worth of infrastructures upgrades were installed by the city to serve the new stadium.

This included the 280N ramp that landed adjacent to the stadium, as well as extending MUNI train lines to the front door of the stadium.

The point is that voters were asked, and elected officials were compelled to listen.

Why are most of our city council elected representatives afraid to hear from those whom they represent on this “once in a generation project”? Is it because most Oaklanders have a different set of priorities? Is it because residents are more interested in making improvements in our pothole ridden streets, investing in more public safety interventions and other elements that make up our city’s economic and social infrastructure? Is it because many believe that the Oakland Coliseum and arena provide an ideal opportunity for redeveloping a critical part of East Oakland while keeping a major sports franchise in Oakland?

Lots of questions remain about the proposed project. How many units of desperately needed affordable housing will be built and who pays for them? What sustained economic benefits will go to the residents of Oakland while MLB owners make their profits? What jobs and small business opportunities, beyond the initial construction, will remain once the project is built? What will happen with the Oakland Coliseum and will the investment group there receive the same enthusiastic support that the A’s owners have enjoyed from some of our elected officials and baseball fans?

There are some who are afraid to hear the will of the voters.

The voters will get the final say at the ballot box in November on who they believe represents their best interests. There is one thing we know for sure — the voters of Oakland are not in a mood to get played.
