Leaders Who Attended the 1963 March on Washington Say Voting Was Also the 2020 March’s Focus By Post Staff
As the 2020 renewal of the 1963 March on Washington was taking place in the nation’s capital it was also observed in many communities around the country. Some of the original participants who live in Oakland are hopeful that the move-
ment for voting rights is continuing. Former Berkeley Mayor Gus Newport and former Oakland Private Industry Council Executive Director Gay Plair Cobb both attended the August 28, 1963, March on Wash ington for Jobs and Freedom. Newport had traveled all night
on a bus from his native Roch ester, N.Y., where he led the largest civil rights organiza tion and Cobb, an organizer at Queens College, had taken a bus at dawn from New York City. While on the steps of the Continued on Page 10
Nurse Icon, Ophelia Long Mourned By Martha Dawson
Ophelia Long, the fourth president of the National Black Nurses Association died on Aug. 16, 2020. Born on Dec. 5, 1940, Long was a nurse icon in her on own right. She served as chief executive officer at two major hospitals, the Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Hospital and the Alameda County Medical Center that was comprised of three locations. She made history by
becoming the first nurse to serve as the vice president of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN. Long held leadership positions within national organizations. She was the treasurer of the National Black Nurses Foundation and chairperson of the Black Congress of Health, Law and Economics that comprised 17 national associations. She served on the board of the Oakland NAACP Continued on Page 10

Historically, the right to vote hasn’t always been something that was guaranteed in this country. When the country was founded, only men had the right to vote. Minorities and women weren’t given a voice in such matters. In fact, there were acts of violence, including murder, that was waged against those who sought to exercise their right to vote. And, to this very day, efforts to dissuade people from trying to vote continues through a variety of suppression measures. These methods of suppression have many different forms such as redistricting, lost ballots, immigration issues, changing of polling times and places and many other subversive ways to foil the vote of the people. As we approach another election, voter suppression tactics are being amplified to quell and discount the fight for equal and fair voting. Already the noise has begun by those seeking to sway the election in their favor by using these malicious tactics, ploys and strategies, even criminal acts just to win. Even the U.S. Postal Service is now targeted and Continued on Page 10
Board of SuperMoms Rallies Outside Alameda County Headquarters to Demand ‘Homes Not Harm’ By Zack Haber
Moms 4 Housing, a coalition of support groups and about 150 local residents gathered outside the Alameda County administration building in downtown Oakland on Tuesday to participate in a rally called Board of SuperMoms Demands Homes Not Harm. “After voting to give this notoriously racist Sheriff’s Department a budget increase of over $100 million a year, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors has cancelled their meeting set for September 1st,” read a Facebook invitation calling for supporters to attend the rally, which took place from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. “We are in a crisis and this failure of leadership in unacceptable.” Moms 4 Housing and supporters arranged a table outside of the building at 1221 Oak St. and spoke in manner that emu-

lated and played with the style of a county meeting. Behind the table, support-
ers held signs painted in yellow, red and black. One sign outlined the four demands of
the Homes Not Harm agenda: Defunding the sheriff by 3050%; placing a moratorium on all evictions during the COVID-19 crisis; cancelling all rent and mortgage debt; and permanently banning law enforcement from carrying out evictions. While no current City Council members showed up to support the rally, Moms 4 Housing member Carroll Fife, who is running for office in District 3, as well as District 5 Council candidates Zoe Lopez-Meraz and Richard Santos Raya, were in attendance. “We live in a police state that puts capital over human life,” said Dominique Walker, a founding member of Moms 4 Housing who spoke at the rally. “The eviction of Mom’s house showed that.” Walker, along with several Continued on Page 10

Lake Merritt Residents Seek Solutions to Noise, Sideshows By Paul Cobb and Post Staff
Many of the antics around Lake Merritt are creating a dangerous and precarious situation for the neighborhood’s residents, including those that reside at 1200 Lakeshore. Late night partying and vehicular antics are not new to this area but have alarmingly increased with the onset of the pandemic. To be sure, everyone is sick and tired of being on lock down and not having the abil-
ity to socialize and enjoy their friends and neighbors. People want to get out. But residents say that is not the problem. On the streets around the Lake, people are participating in semi- sideshows, and performing dangerous doughnuts in the cul-de-sac and the streets right outside the buildings where people live. Residents report that people are playing loud music throughout the night that is sometimes so loud it shakes the glass of Continued on Page 10
Oakland Native and Business Owner Derreck Johnson Runs for City Council At-Large By Kiki
Derreck Johnson is a selfdescribed serial entrepreneur. He is the owner of the Home of Chicken and Waffles in Oakland. 70% of his employees are formerly incarcerated folk and he wants to put hope back into the citizens of Oakland. He notes that 47% of Black businesses in Oakland are failing as compared to 17% of white-owned businesses and he wants to help other business owners. Pre-pandemic this year he decided to become a firsttime candidate and run for the Oakland City Council at-large position against incumbent Rebecca Kaplan and Nancy Sidebotham. Johnson, Black, single, and openly gay, is a third-generation Oaklander, born in 1964 at Kaiser Oakland. He attended an HBCU, Fisk University, and is a proud member of one of the Divine Nine, Kappa Alpha Psi.

Starting at a Black Newspaper, Dana White is the First Black Woman to Run Communication at a Major Automaker
White carved out a pioneering career path that stretched from the Pentagon’s head office to Hyundai headquarters By Troy Schulz Zenger News As Hyundai North America’s first chief communications officer, Dana W. White knows what it is like to have two feet in two worlds. “Growing up I always knew about the power of communication, the power of words,” she said, talking about her childhood in Charlottesville, Virginia. “My grandfather, who was born in 1896, founded the oldest Black newspaper in the state. I used to cut ad sheets every month and write copy and process black-and-white photos [at the paper]. The entrepreneurial spirit runs deep in me and my family.” While the weekly Black newspaper, the CharlottesvilleAlbemarle Tribune, is gone, the family’s entrepreneurial spirit lives on. “The environment I grew up in, my family, was that there was never just a pot of gold waiting for me at the end of the tunnel,” she said.
Dana White poses for a photo inside Hyundai Motor America. (Carol Larsen/Zenger).
“It’s in my DNA – to make it happen for yourself.” Dr. Ben Chavis runs the trade group for African American newspaper publishers. “The National Newspapers Publishers Association salutes Hyundai for its decision to elevate an African-American woman leader to the position of Chief Communications Officer. In this year where the focus is on the empowerment of all women, Dana White represents and embodies the best

of Black America,” he told Zenger News of White. Dana White is no relation to the Ultimate Fighting Championship president with the same name. She studied hard in college, taking the toughest courses on purpose even if they were scheduled early in the morning and required long walks across Chicago wind-chilled campus. Those courses included learning to read, write and speak Mandarin, the mostly widely used of the Chinese-language dialects. She majored in Chinese history at the University of Chicago. White thought hard about her choices in what to study; she didn’t just take the most popular courses or the easiest ones to earn a top grade. Of course, she said there are no “easy” courses at the University of Chicago, which competes with the Ivy League for students. “At the time, nobody was thinking about China,” she said. “Everyone was terrified that Japan was taking over the world, but no one was thinking about this country of one billion people that was just sitting there, very quiet. I wanted to make sure I’d be employable for the next 50 years, find something that was valuable for the future. So, I decided to study Mandarin.” She applied for scholarships to study in China’s capital, Beijing, and later in South Korea’s capital, Seoul. This on-theground experience would later prove pivotal in her career.

Dana Canedy: A Change for the Publishing Industry By Tamara Shiloh
Nationwide protests against systemic racism have reached its arms into several industries, shaking them up. Add to the list: The nearly all-white publishing companies. According to a survey by Lee & Low Books, the number of Black people employed in the industry drags at about 5%, clearly not enough has been done to increase diversity. Disparities reach beyond hiring practices, however. The industry was also blasted for paying lower advances to Black authors including awardwinning Jesmyn Ward (fiction) and N.K. Jemisin (science fiction, fantasy), in spite of their proven literary successes. But an effort toward change is finally here, and history has again been made: Former New York Times journalist, and more recently administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes, Dana Canedy is the newly appointed publisher of Simon & Schuster. She is the first Black person to head a major publishing house. Born in 1965 in Indianapolis, Canedy has crafted her love of words and obsession with books into a successful career.

Even from a young age she knew she wanted to be a writer. “I’ve been writing since I was 12-years-old,” she told MPOR News. “And my mother asked me in high school, ‘If you don’t become a writer, what’s your Plan B?’ And I said, ‘There is no Plan B.’” After graduating from the University of Kentucky, Canedy worked as a police beat reporter at the West Palm Beach Post in Florida. She later became a reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer in Ohio, and moved on to the New York Times in 1996, where many of her stories focused on race relations. During her tenure there, she was also responsible for diversity and inclusion in the newsroom. She also worked as a na-
tional correspondent and as bureau chief for Florida, and authored the New York Times best-selling memoir “A Journal for Jordan: A Story of Love and Honor” in 2008. Canedy told PBS News Hour that at Simon & Schuster, she will have a comprehensive approach to diversity of all kinds. “I just need to get into the company and figure out where we need to go. And then I don’t think it’s enough, as a leader in this industry who happens to be a person of color, to just look at Simon & Schuster. I want to influence the entire publishing community … And you can check back with me in a year and hold me accountable.” Industries need to look at themselves, she said, publishing included. “And I, for many years, headed up diversity and inclusion initiatives at the New York Times as part of my portfolio as a senior manager there, a senior newsroom leader,” Canedy told PBS News Hour. “And so I have a lot of tools in my tool chest that I can call upon. But I think, for Simon & Schuster specifically, I don’t have the answers yet. I need to get—start the job, get in there, roll up my sleeves, and see what they’re doing and where there are opportunities for growth.”
Gov. Newsom Implements Color-Coded System to Guide California Reopening By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media
On August 28, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new framework for re-opening businesses in California counties shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The state will move away from the previous “watch list” system and use a new fourtiered classification system to determine which counties can open. Newsom said, “We wanted to make adjustments based upon the input we received from county health officers, input we received from experts, our own experience here in the state of California, to adjust the

PREPARING FOR A PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFF Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) is a statewide effort to prevent wildfires by proactively turning off power to communities when severe winds and dry weather conditions are forecast.

THE POST, Sept. 2-8, 2020, Page 5
Actress Wendy Raquel Robinson Tells Californians “Be Ready for Emergencies” By Tanu Henry California Black Media
Through all the chaos of the COVID-19 crisis, Wendy Raquel Robinson says she has managed to hold it all together. The actress, known for her roles in several films and television shows, says she has several reasons to be grateful, too. Among them is the return of “The Game.” On Aug. 15, Netflix began streaming the popular comedy-drama, which debuted in 2006 and aired on CW network until 2009. In 2011, BET began developing and airing the show until its series finale in 2015. Robinson played Tasha Mack in the series, the confident, funny and straight-shooting mother of the show’s star Malik Wright, portrayed by actor Hosea Chancez. In these days though, Robinson is also lending her image, voice and likeness to a statewide emergency preparedness awareness campaign called
Gov. Newsom Implements Color-Coded System Continued from page 2
its application but statewide in terms of its consequence.” The tiers are color-coded: yellow for minimal COVID-19 spread, orange for moderate spread, red for substantial spread, and purple for widespread COVID-19 transmission. Nearly all businesses in yellow counties are allowed to reopen indoor operations, as long as face-covering and physical distancing requirements are followed. In purple counties, nearly all businesses have to close or severely limit indoor operations. According to the state COVID-19 website, as of Aug. 30, the majority of counties in the state are widespread or purple. Within the new system, the color of the county is determined by the number of new daily coronavirus cases and the rate of positive tests. Counties that are considered widespread or purple have more than seven daily new cases per 100,000 residents or a higher than 8% positivity rate among those tested. Most businesses in widespread counties are allowed to remain open as long as they are outdoor only, including restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and places of worship. Bars and schools must remain closed, and non-essential offices must operate remotely. Rob Lapsley, president of the California Business Roundtable, released a statement responding to the state’s new COVID-19 reopening framework. “Unfortunately, [Gov. Newsom] has also sent a long-term signal to the business community that they will likely not be able to operate at a sustainable level until spring 2021 at the earliest. “As the rest of the country begins on a path to economic recovery, we are gravely concerned that California will see a wave of permanent job loss, especially since the Legislature has not passed any policies that will help businesses adapt to this ‘new normal,’” the statement read. According to the state website, COVID-19 data is reviewed weekly with tiers updated on Tuesdays. To move to a less restrictive tier, the county has to meet that tier’s requirements for two consecutive weeks. If a county’s new daily cases or testing positivity rate increases for two consecutive weeks, it will move to a more restrictive tier.
Listos, which means ‘ready’ in Spanish. It is a cause that is close to her heart because of her own experience. In 2007, an electrical fire caused by a power surge burned her Pasadena home to the ground. In the aftermath she had to deal with swarming insurance adjusters and the reality that it took three years to rebuild her house and she only had one year of coverage. The city of Pasadena also did not take responsibility for the fire. “It destroyed so many things I cherished. It uprooted my entire life. I lost my dog and I lost her car. Photos. Archival items from my career. Some of those things you cannot replace,” she said. Robinson says that’s why having a plan for when disaster strikes is always a good way to protect yourself and your family. “We have to make sure all of us — and everyone we love — are prepared for emergencies,” she said.
Actress Wendy Raquel Robinson
“Emergency preparedness is not government’s responsibility alone. Solutions can’t be top-down – they have to come from the bottom up,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom on Aug. 20 when he announced the state’s $50 million investment in the campaign. “We need more focus on
building resiliency within California’s most vulnerable communities for the destructive and deadly wildfires ahead,” the governor continued. “We’re empowering nonprofit organizations and emergency responders to work together to prepare for emergencies because California is
at its best when we look out for each other.” An ad featuring Robinson has been published in African American-owned newspapers across the state and she has recorded public service announcements for radio stations serving Black listeners in the Los Angeles area, where the largest number of African Americans in California live. Robinson’s voice and likeness will also appear in an animated video that will be published on internet and social media platforms targeting African Americans around the state. “It can be devastating,” said Robinson who has won NAACP Image Awards 11 times for her acting roles. “Now, I realize that taking steps to prepare for a disaster, natural or otherwise, that might happen to you -- and, yes, it does traumatize you -is not only smart. It is necessary.” Listos provides 5 steps to help Californians prepare for
emergencies. They are: make a plan; pack a go-bag with things you need; build a “stay box” for when you can’t leave; and help friends and neighbors get ready.” Besides the media public awareness campaign, some community-based organizations will lead efforts to reach out to African Americans centered in three disasterprone areas of the state where Californians with some of the lowest average household incomes live: Alameda, San Francisco and San Bernardino counties. The community-based partner organizations are: Building Resilient Communities (San Bernardino County); Community Health Action Network (San Bernardino County); the French American Church for the New Covenant (Alameda County); Ivoire Alliance (Alameda County); and Mother Brown’s Kitchen (San Francisco).

The tax administrator, thereafter, may issue and disseminate to such video service suppliers an administrative ruling identifying those components: (1) that are necessary for or common to the receipt, use or enjoyment of video service; or, (2) which currently are or historically have been included in a bundled rate for video service by a local distribution company. Charges for such components shall be subject to the tax of subsection A of this section. E. The tax imposed by this section shall be collected from the service user by the video service supplier, its billing agent, or a reseller of such services. In the case of video service, the service user shall be deemed to be the purchaser of the bulk video service (e.g., an apartment owner), unless such service is resold to individual users, in which case the service user shall be the ultimate purchaser of the video service. The amount of tax collected in one month shall be remitted by U.S. mail to the tax administrator postmarked on or before the last day of the following month or with the written approval of the tax administrator and at the option of the person required to collect and remit the tax, an estimated amount of tax billed in the previous month, shall be remitted by U.S. mail to the tax administrator, postmarked on or before the last day of each month or other date predicted on a formula based upon the payment pattern of the supplier’s customers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax administrator shall have the power to adopt at the tax administrator’s discretion a regulation permitting electronic remittance and/or reporting of the taxes collected. 2.12.100 – Reserved 2.12.110 Interest and penalty. A. Taxes collected from a service user that are not remitted to the tax administrator on or before the due dates provided in this chapter are delinquent and are subject to penalties and interest. Should the due date occur on a weekend or legal holiday, the tax remittance may be postmarked on the first regular working day following a Saturday/Sunday, or legal holiday. B. Any person who fails to remit taxes collected in the time required by this chapter shall pay a penalty of five percent of the amount of the tax, and if not remitted within ten working days after the date of delinquency, shall pay a total penalty of twenty (20) percent of the amount of tax owed. Such penalty shall attach to the amount of tax due and shall be paid by the person required to collect and remit the tax. C. Any person required to remit to the tax administrator delinquent taxes as required in this section, shall pay interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month, or portion thereof, on the amount of tax owed exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the tax first became delinquent until paid. Such interest shall attach to the amount of tax due and shall be paid by the person required to collect and remit the tax. D. When fraud or gross negligence in reporting and remitting tax collections is discovered, the tax administrator shall have power to impose the penalty and interest imposed by subsections B and C of this section upon the taxes owed. Such penalty and interest shall attach to the amount of tax due and shall be paid by the person required to collect and remit the tax. E. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections B and C of this section, no penalty or interest shall be applied if delinquencies are the result of natural disasters or other phenomena beyond the control of the person charged with collecting and remitting the tax, provided the person being delinquent notifies the tax administrator as soon as normal communication permits. 2.12.120 Actions to collect. Any tax, accrued penalty and interest, required to be paid by a service user under the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed a debt owed by the service user to the county. Any such tax collected from a service user, and accrued penalty and interest, which has not been remitted to the tax administrator shall be deemed a debt owed to the county by the person required to collect and remit. Any person owing money to the county under the provisions of this chapter shall be liable to an action brought in the name of the county for the recovery of such amount. 2.12.130 Duty to collect--Procedures. The duty to collect and remit the taxes imposed by this chapter shall be performed as follows: A. The tax shall be collected insofar as practicable at the same time as and along with the charges made in accordance with the regular billing practices of the service supplier. Where the amount paid by a service user to a service supplier is less than the full amount of the service charge and tax which has accrued for the billing period, such amount and any subsequent payments by a service user shall be applied to the utility charge first until such charge has been fully satisfied. Any remaining balance shall be applied to taxes due. In those cases where a service user has notified the service supplier of the service user’s refusal to pay the tax imposed on said energy charges Section 2.12.150 of this chapter shall apply. B. The duty to collect tax from a service user shall commence with the beginning of the first full regular billing period applicable to the service user where all charges normally included in such regular billing are subject to the provisions of this chapter. Where a person receives more than one billing, one or more being for different periods than another, the duty to collect shall arise separately for each billing. 2.12.140 Additional power and duties of tax administrator. A. The tax administrator shall have the power and duty, and is hereby directed to enforce each and all of the provisions of this chapter. B. The tax administrator shall have the power to adopt rules and regulations not inconsistent with provisions of this chapter for the purpose of carrying out and enforcing the payment, collection and remittance of the taxes herein imposed. A copy of such rules and regulations shall be kept on file in the tax administrator’s office. C. The tax administrator may make administrative agreements to vary the strict requirements of this chapter so that collection of any tax imposed may be made in conformance with the billing procedures of a particular service supplier so long as said agreements result in collection of the tax in conformance with the general purpose and scope of this chapter. A copy of each such agreement shall be kept on file in the tax administrator’s office. D. The tax administrator shall determine the eligibility of any person who asserts a right to exemption from the tax imposed by this chapter. The tax administrator shall provide the service supplier with the name of any person who the tax administrator determines is exempt from the tax imposed hereby, together with the address and account number to which service is supplied to any such exempt person. The tax administrator shall notify the service supplier of termination of any person’s right to exemption hereunder, or the change of any address to which service is supplied to any exempt person. E. The tax administrator shall provide notice to all service suppliers, at least ninety (90) days prior to any annexation or other change in the county’s boundaries. Said notice shall set forth the revised boundaries by street and address, along with a copy of the final annexation order from LAFCO.

2.12.150 Collection by tax administrator from service user. A. The tax administrator may collect from the service user the taxes not paid to the service supplier. B. Whenever the tax administrator determines that a service user has deliberately withheld the amount of the tax owed by the service user from the amounts remitted to a person required to collect the tax, or that a service user has refused to pay the amount of tax, such person may be relieved of the obligation to collect taxes due under this chapter from certain named service users for specified billing periods as set forth below. C. The service supplier shall provide the county with amounts refused and/or unpaid along with the names and addresses of the service users neglecting to pay the tax imposed under provisions of this chapter. Whenever the service user has failed to pay the amount of tax for a period of two or more billing periods, the service supplier shall be relieved of the obligation to collect the taxes billed. D. The tax administrator shall notify the service user that the tax administrator has assumed responsibility to collect the taxes due for the stated periods and demand payment of such taxes. The notice shall be served by handing it to the service user personally or by deposit of the notice in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid thereon, addressed to the service user at the address to which billing was made by the person required to collect the tax; or, should the service user’s address change, to the last known address. If a service user fails to remit the tax to the tax administrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of the service of the notice upon the service user, which shall be the date of mailing if service is not accomplished in person, a penalty of twenty-five (25) percent of the amount of the tax set forth in the notice shall be imposed, but not less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00). The penalty shall become part of the tax herein required to be paid. 2.12.160 Records. A. It shall be the duty of every person required to collect and remit to the county any tax imposed by this chapter to keep and preserve for a period of seven years all records as may be necessary to determine the amount of such tax as the person may have been liable for the remittance to the tax administrator, which records the tax administrator shall have the right to inspect at all reasonable times. B. On behalf of the county, the board of supervisors delegates to the tax administrator authority to issue an administrative subpoena to compel a person to deliver copies of all records deemed necessary by the tax administrator to establish compliance with this section, including the delivery of records in a common electronic format on readily available media if such records are kept electronically by the person in the usual and ordinary course of business. As an alternative to delivering the subpoenaed records to the tax administrator on or before the due date provided in the administrative subpoena, such person may provide access to such records outside the county on or before the due date, provided that such person shall reimburse the county for all reasonable travel expenses incurred by the county to inspect those records, including traveling, lodging, meals, and other similar expenses, but excluding the normal salary or hourly wages of those persons designated by the county to conduct the inspection. C. The tax administrator, or the tax administrator’s designated representative, may execute a non-disclosure agreement in a form approved by the county counsel to protect the confidentiality of customer information pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 7284.6 and 7284.7. The tax administrator, or the tax administrator designated representative, may request from a person providing transportation or distribution services of gas or electricity to service users within unincorporated areas of the county, a list of the names, billing and service addresses, quantities of gas or electricity delivered, and other pertinent information, of its transportation customers within unincorporated areas of the county pursuant to Section 6354(e) of the California Utilities Code. D. If a service supplier uses a billing agent or billing aggregator to bill, collect, and/or remit the tax, the service supplier shall: (i) provide the tax administrator the name, address and telephone number of each billing agent and billing aggregator currently authorized by the servicer supplier to bill, collect and/ or remit the tax to the county; and (ii) upon request of the tax administrator, deliver, or effect the delivery of, any information or records in the possession of each billing agent or billing aggregate that, in the opinion of the tax administrator, is necessary to verify the proper application, calculation, collection and/ or remittance of such tax to the county. E. If any person subject to the record-keeping under this section unreasonably denies the tax administrator, or the tax administrator’s designated representative, access to such records, or fails to produce the information requested in an administrative subpoena within the time specified, the tax administrator may impose a penalty of five hundred dollars ($500.00) on such person for each day following: i) the initial date that the person refuses to provide such assess; or ii) the due date for production of records as set forth in the administrative subpoena. This penalty shall be in addition to any other penalty imposed under this section. 2.12.170 Refunds. A. Whenever the amount of any tax, interest or penalty has been overpaid, paid more than once or erroneously or illegally collected or received by the tax collector under this chapter, it may be refunded as provided in this section. The party that paid the tax, interest, or penalty or that party’s guardian, collector, or conservator must file a claim for refund as described below. No other person may file the claim on behalf of the party that paid the tax, interest, or penalty. Such person must verify claim under penalty of perjury of the laws of the state of California. No other person, including an attorney or other representative, may sign the refund claim on behalf of the person who paid the tax or that person’s guardian, executor, or administrator. The claim must set forth the facts and legal theories under which the claimant believes he or she has a right to a refund. The facts and legal theories must be sufficiently detailed so that the basis of the claim may be understood and evaluated. B. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection A of this section, a service supplier may claim a refund, or take as credit against taxes remitted, the amount overpaid, paid more than once, or erroneously or illegally collected or received when it is established that the service user from whom the tax has been collected did not owe the tax. However, the previous sentence applies only if the person required to collect and remit has already refunded or credited to the service user the amount of the tax erroneously or illegally collected and for which the service supplier now seeks the refund. C. No refund shall be paid under the provisions of this section unless the claimant established the claimant’s right thereto by written records showing entitlement thereto. D. The period for filing a claim for refund shall be six months from the time the tax, interest, or penalty was paid; provided, however, that in no event shall the period to file such claim expire prior to the shortest period allowable for filing a tax refund claim under Title 1, Division 3.6, Part 3, Section 911.2 of the California Government Code or any successor provision, as amended from time to time. For purposes of this section, a claim shall be deemed to accrue on the date the tax was paid. Claims for refund shall be filed with the clerk or the board or supervisors on a form prescribed by the tax collector and shall describe all theories under which the claimant believes that the amounts paid should be refunded. E. The auditor may refund so much of the amount claimed as the tax collector recommends. If the tax collector does not recommend a refund of the entire amount claimed, the clerk shall set the claim for a hearing before the hearing officer created pursuant to Chapter 2.116 of the Alameda County Administrative Code. The hearing officer may increase or decrease the amount of fees, taxes, penalties or interest consistent with the requirements of this ordinance. F. Refunds under this section shall be entitled to interest from the date of payment to the date of refund at the county pool apportioned rate. For purposes of this subsection, “county pool apportioned rate” means the annualized rate of interest earned on the total amount of pooled idle funds from all accounts held by the county treasurer, in excess of the county treasurer’s administrative costs with respect to that amount, as of June 30 of the preceding fiscal year for which the refund is calculated. G. No lawsuit shall be commenced or maintained unless the person who paid the tax, interest, or penalty, or that person’s guardian, executor, or administrator has filed a claim for refund pursuant to this section and pursued their right to a hearing as described above. Any such lawsuit must be limited to the grounds for refund set forth in the claim for refund. H. Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, whenever a service supplier, pursuant to an order of the California Public Utilities Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction, makes a refund to service users of charges for past utility services, the taxes paid pursuant to this chapter on the amount of such refunded charges shall also be refunded to service users, and the service supplier shall be entitled to claim a credit for such refunded taxes against the amount of tax which is due upon the next monthly returns. I. In the event this chapter is repealed, the amounts of any refundable taxes will be borne by the county. 2.12.180 Termination or suspension of utility users tax. A. The service supplier shall, upon notification from the clerk of the board of supervisors, terminate or suspend collection of any utility user tax, commencing with the first full billing period that occurs after the effective date of such action by the board of supervisors. B. This chapter shall remain in effect only until June 30, 2033, and as of that date is repealed unless a later ordinance is adopted and approved by the voters prior to June 30, 2033 that either deletes or extends that date. 2.12.190 Limitations of tax. The tax shall not apply in any case where its application would be prohibited by the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, or the laws of the United States or the state of California. 2.12.200 Savings clause. If any provision of this tax is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. SECTION II This ordinance shall become effective only upon affirmative passage by a majority of the eligible voters at the election of November 3, 2020, pursuant to Article XIIIC, section 2 of the California Constitution; California Government Code section 53724; California Revenue & Taxation Code section 7284.2; California Elections Code section 9140; and other applicable law. Before the expiration of 15 days after its adoption by the Board of Supervisors, this ordinance shall be published once with the names of the members voting for and against the same in the Inter-City Express, a newspaper published in the County of Alameda.

Magic Johnson and Partners Raise $325 Million in COVID-19 Relief for Black Businesses By NewsOne
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson has put the focus on supporting Blackowned businesses that have been significantly impacted by the public health crisis. According to Black Enterprise, Johnson teamed up with Carver Federal Savings Bank and MBE Partners for the creation of a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) designed for minority and women-owned businesses. Black business owners have experienced several barriers when it comes to receiving federal aid. A report compiled
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York revealed that a mere 20% of PPP loans went to areas that had a high concentration of Black-owned businesses. Between the months of February and April, nearly 41% of Black-owned businesses shuttered due to financial woes that stemmed from the pandemic. Johnson hopes to reverse the trend. His company EquiTrust Life Insurance Co., MBE Partners and Carver Federal Savings Bank have secured a total of $325 million to provide loans for women and minorityled businesses, nonprofits and religious organizations. “When we launched the EquiTrust MBE PPP loan pro-
Legislature Approves Bill Giving Residents Priority for Foreclosed Homes By Bay City News Service
A bill ready for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature may help keep homes in the hands of residents if a foreclosure crisis occurs, according to the office of state Sen. Nancy Skinner, DBerkeley, who sponsored the legislation. SB 1079, titled “Homes for Homeowners, Not Corporations,” would give tenants, families, housing nonprofits and local governments first dibs on foreclosed properties before corporations. The bill modifies how foreclosed properties are sold at an auction. The bill would also give local governments the authority to fine firms or other owners of properties for leaving homes vacant or blighted instead of refurbishing, renting or selling them. Fines could be up to $2,000 a day. Skinner’s office said many

U.S. families lost their homes in the Great Recession of 2007-09 and Wall Street firms benefited by buying them. Home ownership took a nosedive in California between 2006 and 2012, when the number of owner-occupied homes fell by 320,000 and the number of rented single-family homes grew by 720,000, the senator’s office said. Skinner’s bill would prohibit sellers from bundling homes for sale to one buyer. Homes would have to be sold one at a time to give people who want to live in them a chance to buy them. Following the first bids at a foreclosure auction, tenants, families, nonprofits, community land trusts and local governments would have 45 days to top the highest bid for the home. The bill would apply to all homes with as many as four units and it would sunset in five years. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 30-9 and the Assembly by a vote of 49-17.

PG&E Conducting Line Inspections Using Drones & Helicopters
Flights will continue in North Bay through 2020 By PG&E
“PG&E” refers to Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation. ©2020 Pacific Gas and Electric Company. All rights reserved. Paid for by PG&E shareholders.
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is conducting its updated System Inspections program in Marin and Sonoma counties using drones and helicopters along electric transmission lines. The System Inspections Program accelerates inspection cycles beyond compliance regulations to align with wildfire risk. It’s one of many initiatives PG&E has undertaken to protect grid safety and reliability, with other measures including enhanced vegetation management and systemhardening. The program occurs on an ongoing basis to find and fix potential risks to the safety and reliability of the system. The company is prioritizing work in areas of extreme (Tier 3) and elevated (Tier 2) wildfire risk as defined by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) High Fire-Threat District Map. Equipment along electric transmission lines located in Tier 3 and Tier 2 areas will be evaluated more frequently, while infrastructure in non-high fire-threat areas will be inspected at least every six years. In 2020, the company plans to inspect more than 15,000 miles of its electric lines. That includes all lines in Tier 3 areas and one-third of all lines in Tier 2 areas. The company is also planning to inspect additional line miles in non-high fire-threat areas. The inspections will occur through the end of the year. PG&E has notified residential and business customers along several transmission lines throughout both counties of the drone and helicopter flights via postcards or automated phone calls. The inspection areas for the weeks of Aug. 31 and Sept. 7 are along lines that run through: •Marin County: San Rafael, Novato, Sausalito and Bolinas •Sonoma County: Petaluma, Lakeville, Fulton, Santa Rosa, Wind-
PG&E will be using drone models such as the Inspire, Mavic and Matrice (shown). sor, Healdsburg (Fitch Mountain), Sonoma, Boyes Hot Springs and Agua Caliente Inspectors are looking at all components of PG&E assets, including cross-arms, insulators and footings,
along with critical electrical components and equipment. Inspectors document findings through high-resolution images, which are reviewed by dedicated teams experienced in system maintenance, engineering, construction and maintenance planning to evaluate identified conditions. All the highest-priority conditions found through inspections will be promptly repaired or made safe. Repairs for all other conditions are scheduled for completion as Weather permitting and barring maintenance issues, flights will occur Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. through 6 p.m. over the next couple of months.
Morris Lee Moton, 78
Morris Lee Moton, 78, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2020, at home in Oakland, California. He was born July 1, 1942 in Jackson, Mississippi to Robert Vanila (RV) and Mattie Mae Moton. He was a 1960 graduate of Castlemont High School. Earning his Doctorate in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Southern California, he worked for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District as a Civil Engineer until he returned to Oakland. He returned in order to care of his mother, take over the family construction company and boarding care facility after the death of his father. He was confirmed at St. Louis Bertrand Catholic Church at an early age and lived a faithbased life. As a contractor he would take on young men wanting to learn the construction trade. He was predeceased by his parents, brother, Norris Herman and sister, Lorna Francine Moton (Mixon). He is survived

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

Board of SuperMoms Rallies Outside Alameda County Headquarters to Demand ‘Homes Not Harm’ Continued from page 1
other speakers referenced the militarized pre-dawn eviction on January 14 when the Alameda County Sheriff raided a speculator-owned property that had long been left vacant and kicked out unhoused Black mothers and children who had taken shelter inside. The sheriff’s officers used tanks, drones, a battering ram and assault rifles to enforce the eviction. Speakers pointed out that law enforcement terrorizes the same people that face housing insecurity and homelessness. Black Oakland resident Barbara Doss, of the Ella Baker Center, spoke of how guards at Santa Rita Jail killed her son,
Dejaun Armstrong, at age 23. But celebrating her son’s was difficult because the owners of her rented housing unit wanted to inspect it on the same day. After delaying the inspection, she said they sent her a threat that she would be evicted if she continued to delay the inspection. She characterized the housing in the area as “unfair” and shared fond memories of her son, who, starting at the age or 9, would feed unhoused residents in Oakland. “He would take food underneath the ramp down at 29th street and we would feed the homeless,” she said. “That was something he wanted to do, believe me, I didn’t push
him to do that. I love him for doing that.” Speakers pointed out how money used to harm and incarcerate people could be used to provide housing. Others spoke directly to the need to cancel rent and grassroots efforts to organize tenants. Members of Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice (CURYJ), the Anti PoliceTerror Project and Decarcerate Alameda County also spoke. Bay Area People’s Strike and Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) also hosted the rally. Tur-Ha Ak, of Community Ready Corps, spoke of the need for those fighting for housing justice and against the crimi-
nalization of dissent and police oppression to stand united with each other. Pointing at the county administration building, he repeatedly said “this is the same system that killed Martin and Malcolm,” and emphasized that though activists might have disagreements about tactics, they all need to unite against the criminalization of dissent. Fife spoke last. “We don’t have to reimagine policing,” Fife said. “Because we live and dream about our lives mattering every day. We have organizations that have been working on this for years. Some of my mentors and elders have been working on this for decades. We just have to do it.”
the street. Over a two hour Zoom session, Council Member Bas fielded comments from frustrated residents. She and city staff promised some solutions and further work on other issues. “You have our attention,” said Joe DeVries, from the city administrator’s office. On the issue of traffic violations and doughnuts in the cul-desac in front of the building, he and the Department of Transportation committed to install speed bumps. “We are going to speed that process up and cut through bureaucratic hurdles.” Residents were pleased until they received a follow-up email that said “speeding up the process” meant the speed bumps would be installed in the Summer of 2021. Residents are asking what they are
to do until then. Every day of delay is a day that residents feel their lives are threatened by dangerous drivers. Bas responded that the Department of Transportation would do what it can to finish the work sooner, but she added, there is a 19-case backlog of other speed bump projects. “These issues are more than an inconvenience, but are also health and life safety concerns, especially to elderly residents,” said Greg McConnell, a spokesman for the property. McConnell said he hopes to continue working with Bas to craft a slate of interim measures to mitigate dangerous driving until more permanent solutions can be put in place and to resolve other issues. Council Member Bas also promised to work with Public Works department officials to
increase the number of garbage cans and increase garbage pickups in the area. Other ideas in the works include the creation of a volunteer ambassador program manned by neighborhood residents to foster stewardship, clean up, and maintain great relations between neighbors and visitors to the lake. But the most vexing problem that remains unresolved is the late-night blaring music that disturbs the sleep and peace and quiet of residents of the apartment buildings that line the street across from the lake. “Lake Merritt is an Oakland treasure, and everyone has the right to enjoy it” said McConnell. “But waking people up at 2, 3 and 4 in the morning to loud music is not right. We look forward to coming up with solutions that work for everyone.”
Lake Merritt Now a Sideshow Venue Continued from page 1
apartment windows 18 floors above the street. These activities place senior citizens in danger of being hit by speeding cars and deprive residents and children of sleep at night. Now, residents who are on lock down like everyone else, complain that they suffer from sleepless nights and dangerous conditions when they walk across the street to the park. Last week, over 60 residents from 1200 Lakeshore and the neighborhood met with City Councilmember Nikki Fortunato Bas and city staff to voice their concerns and demand remedies to the pervasive problems that plague their neighborhood. They wanted to know what the Council Member and city staff was going to do about side shows, noise and garbage thrown into
Leaders Who Attended the 1963 March on Washington Continued from page 1
African American Museum and Library in Oakland earlier this week they recalled how a wave of people from all over the country had traveled to Washington, D.C. 57 years ago to voice their support for more jobs and equality. Both felt the accomplishments of the Civil Rights Movement—particularly the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965—has been profoundly undermined by the U.S. Supreme Court. They both said the U.S. Congress and the president should enact and sign legislation to restore the voting protections for minorities and vulnerable communities in some states. They also said the overt racism expressed by Pres. Donald Trump and his administration have caused regression in race relations. They marveled at the genius of leadership by Rev. Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis, A. Phillip Randolph, Bayard Rustin, Harry Belafonte, and Dorothy Height as they were able to bring the Congress of Racial Equality, Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee, Ur ban League, NAACP, Southern Christian Leadership Council, Interdenominational Faith Leaders, Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and many unions together to push for equality, fairness and opportunity.
Cobb and Newport, both former elected officials, said they now are actively organizing and counseling with the next generation of activists and political leaders. “The struggle continues,” said Newport. Now, young people across the country seek Newport’s counsel via zoom meetings. He reminds them that the tactic of marching in the 1960s was to achieve certain goals that the various organizations had determined before the marches took place. He counseled that, “Spontaneous marches also had their place, but failure to organize creates enemies because disruptors get the opportunity to cause harm to business owners who don’t deserve it.” Nevertheless, the key, Cobb said, is voting. “We know some people have lost faith.” She expressed the important historical context of the work done in the past would eventually lead to the election of the first Black president of the U.S. as being something worth remembering. “The challenge is to honor that history, remember it, not dismiss it,” she said. “Learn from it.” Both hoped that the recent 57th anniversary March on Washington led by Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and Martin Luther King III would inspire the communities of color to vote
in larger numbers than ever before. Sharpton announced the 2020 march with an altogether different rallying cry – police brutality - and yet voting became a common theme, just as it had been in 1963. The now-iconic photos of that day in 1963 illustrate a time profoundly different as organizers cope with the reality of the pandemic. With African Americans and other minorities suffering disproportionately from the effects of the COVID-19 virus, both in numbers who contract disease and succumb to it, restrictions were optimally put in place to protect attendees. All who entered the designated areas of the rally were given masks and temperatures were taken. The night before the march, the NAACP sponsored a ‘virtual’ March on Washington, which included speakers Sta cey Abrams, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Rev. Dr. Wil liam J. Barber II. The next day on the National Mall, speakers included Wanda Cooper-Jones, the mother of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man chased and shot to death while jogging in Glynn County, Georgia and Philonise Floyd, the brother of George Floyd, who died under the knee of a Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer. That choking death captured on video by a 17-year-old Black girl,
sparked a global reaction and outcry for justice. Floyd said, “I’m marching for George, for Breonna (Taylor), for Ah maud, for Jacob, for Pamela Turner, for Michael Brown -- Trayvon and anybody else who lost their lives.” Jacob Blake Sr., the father of Jacob Blake, who was shot in the back by police in Keno sha, WI, spoke to the crowd as well. “Every Black person in the United States is gonna stand up. We’re tired!” he said. “And we’re not taking it anymore, I ask everyone to stand up. No justice, no peace!” Letetra Wideman, Jacob Blake Jr.’s sister, said moving ly “We will not be a footstool to oppression. Black America, I hold you accountable. You must stand. You must fight, but not with violence and chaos -- with self-love.” Martin Luther King Jr.’s granddaughter, Yolanda Renee King spoke as did her father, Martin Luther King III, who closed out the rally. “We’re marching to overcome what my father called the triple evils of poverty, racism, and violence,” he said, listing challenges that disproportionately affect Black and Latino communities, including the coronavirus pandemic, unem ployment, police brutality and attacks on voting rights.” CBS News sources contributed to this report.
who are making these outlandish allegations have used mailin voting, without any concern. There are all sorts of measures in place to protect the integrity of the voting process, but because of the evil-minded intent of those who don’t want minorities to vote, extra precaution is a must at every step. Nothing can be taken for granted -- the stakes are entirely too high to allow malice to
win out over the people’s will. It behooves all to stay vigilant. With the COVID-19 virus hovering over a lot of voters, some fear going out to vote. Because some voters have limited mobility and access, those who are able should be willing to assist them. Remember, we’re all in this together and we should help in any way possible since every
vote counts. The Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed by Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson in response to the Civil Rights Movement’s demands and bloodshed under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and John Lewis, must be respected and restored because too much is at stake.
Voter Suppression is Real Continued from page 1
slowed down to jeopardize a fair counting. Another threat that is floated is to claim that the mail-in ballots will be stolen, lost or ignored, simply to undermine trust. Why is it that suddenly mailin voting is being considered unreliable, when, for decades it has never been a concern. Ironically, the very people

and was a pillar of the New Revelations Community Church in Oakland. Long helped to write policy with the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. She served on the National Institute of Health’s Black Health Providers Task Force on High Blood Pressure Education and Control, a multidisciplinary group of health providers tasked with developing strategies to educate patients and communities about high blood pressure. She raised money from Kaiser Permanente to help publish the Journal of the National Black Nurses Association and supported Los Angeles and Oakland scholarship programs. She also helped foreign educated nurses pass the National Council Licensure Examination. A philanthropist, art collector, educator, negotiator and mentor, most of all Long was a known for,” fighting for the underdog, securing health for the most vulnerable, fighting for students’ rights and women’s rights in schools of nursing and medicine, helping nurses to find and keep jobs. She is survived by her children Celeste, Camille, Crystal and Donald; brother Walter and grandchildren. She also leaves to mourn her close friends Dr. Linda Burnes Bolton, Dr. C. Alicia Georges and Dr. Betty Smith Williams; and, the Bay Area Black Nurses Association. Details of her homegoing celebration will be announced.

and justice. He wants to educate citizens about how their tax dollars are being used. He is concerned about the homeless situation which he finds “deplorable and heartbreaking” especially because 80% of that population is Black and a large number are members of the LBGTQ community. His business was forced to close on March 17, and he laid off employees reducing his staff from 42 to 9 as sales dropped and they were forced to convert to take out only. Deeply spiritual, Johnson had faith and worked with his landlord to reduce the rent of the unused dining space. He is also thankful for World Central Kitchen supported by Steph and Ayesha Curry, which has given him the ability to hire back 60% of his staff. He is concerned about the issues of affordability and folks being able to live in Oakland. He states he will bring his business and real-life experience to Oakland city politics. He thinks the notion of defunding the police is tantamount to dismantling the police and is the wrong message. Instead, he emphasizes the three R’s: 1. Reconstruct 2. Reform/Repurpose, and 3. Reimagine/Recruit Black and Brown officers. Johnson adds that the police should “serve and protect, not brutally victimize” and calls for immediate accountability and safety. He would like to see Midnight Basketball and other ways of engaging the community with the police. He embraces former President Obama’s 8cantwait.org noting that Oakland needs to implement “banning chokeholds and strangleholds, requiring a warning before shooting, and restricting shooting at moving vehicles.” On a personal note, Johnson has learned much from the discrimination faced by his best friend who is transgender. He uses those lessons to help guide him towards equity for all.
Stipend Encouraging COVID-19 Victims to Quarantine

working after testing positive for COVID-19. The Alameda County Social Services Agency (ACSSA), in partnership with the County’s Health Care Services (HCSA), and Auditor-Controller Agencies, launched the economic resiliency program on Aug. 24, 2020. Formerly referred to as the Pilot Stipend Program is funded, developed and unanimously approved by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 4, 2020. “Our communities told us they were having to make the difficult decision between isolating and losing two weeks’ worth of needed pay if they tested positive for COVID-19. No one should ever have to make this choice,” said Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan. “This program will allow COVID-19 positive individuals in our hardest-hit neighborhoods to maintain financial stability while keeping their communities safe from fur-
ther spread.” The Alameda County Social Services Agency in conjunction with the Health Care Services, Auditor-Controller Agencies and designated community health clinic partners, implemented the ARCH program to immediately begin providing services to eligible County residents. “The pilot is meant to provide funds to support individuals and families that need to isolate now for the health and safety of themselves and the community,” said Alameda County Administrator Susan Muranishi. “The County understands that sheltering in place while diagnosed with COVID-19 should not be a privilege to only those who can afford it.” The ARCH program targets COVID-19-positive residents living in designated high-risk neighborhoods that include: South Hayward, Ashland/Cherryland, East Oakland, West Oakland and Fruitvale/San Antonio.
