Nancy Sidebotham Runs for Oakland City Council At-Large

By Kiki This is the third in a series of three articles about the race for the Oakland City Council At-Large position.

The Oakland Post wrote about incumbent Rebecca Kaplan and Derreck Johnson in previous issues.

Nancy Sidebotham believes Oaklanders deserve better and wants voters to take back City Hall.

The owner of a tax business since 1973, Sidebotham is no stranger to running for office in Oakland.

She ran for District 6 six times, mayor once, and this will be the second run for the at-large City Council seat. She has yet to win.

She has been a member of the Community Policing Advisory, Neighborhood Watch, and Shop Oakland boards. She was involved in shutting down the Animal Shelter and getting one built.

Sidebotham’s top priority for Oakland is to have an outside audit performed and to find money for services just like the city of El Sobrante did.

Her second priority is to bridge work with the other Oakland City Council districts. She believes in representing the community and in asking the community what they want.

Born in Panama in 1945, Sidebotham is the daughter a banker. She moved to Oakland in 1964 and lives alone in Millsmont since her long-time partner, Vickie, passed in 2003.

Sidebotham’s views are straightforward and indicative of the work she wants to do in office.

She blames former Mayor Jerry Brown for gentrification in Oakland, but sees homelessness as a national problem and worsening in 2021 with the end of the COVID-19 protections.

She advocates using the Continued on Page 10

With six candidates running to represent District 3 for the Oakland City Council, Lynette Gibson McElhaney has her work cut out as an incumbent already in her second term. The other five candidates running are Carroll Fife, Seneca Scott, Meron Semedar, Alexus Taylor, and Faye Taylor. District 3 includes West Oakland, Downtown/Uptown, Jack London, Pill Hill/KONO, the Lake and the Port of Oakland Lynette was born in San Diego and self describes as “a child of Southern immigrants.”

She is married and currently lives in West Oakland. She attended UC Berkeley for her undergraduate work.

McElhaney was the first Black woman to be elected President of the Oakland City Council in 2015 during her first term.

She is the Chair of Oakland’s Finance Committee; sits on the East Bay Economic

Except for a few high – profile athletes who have spoken out on the racial injustices and demands for equality, the sports world has been somewhat marginalized on social issues.

But in today’s world the voices for change are being heard throughout the world and across every sport.

These sports icons are tired and truly fed-up with the constant indignities and incidents of torture and abuse that minorities and women face daily.

We are now witnessing a remarkable show of unity and power in football, baseball, hockey, tennis, soccer, track and filed and basketball ever since Colin Kaepernick took

Unnecessary Hysterectomies

By Kiki

Dawn Wooten is an LPN (licensed practical nurse). On Sept. 14, 2020, she along with Project South, Georgia Detention Watch, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, and South Georgia Immigrant Support Network filed a complaint on behalf of the detained immigrants at the Irwin County Detention Center (ICDC) which is operated by a private prison company, LaSalle Corrections.

The complaint was sent to the Inspector General, the Officer for Civil Rights and Civil

Grassroots Groups Distribute About 11,000 Masks to Unhoused Residents Over Weekend

By Zack Haber

Last weekend, as smoke continued to blow into Oakland from wildfires throughout California and Oregon, Mask Oakland, a queer- and trans-led community relief project that has responded to smoke crises in the Bay Area since 2017, collaborated with seven grassroots groups to distribute more than 11,000 K95 and N95 masks, mostly to people experiencing homelessness in Oakland.

The United Front Against Displacement (UFAD), a housing justice organization, and SMC Tenants Council, a tenants union, distributed around 1,200 of those masks.

“I definitely feel a sense of urgency when I see folks and know that they’re out there

for an unlimited amount of time,” said Jazmine Lopez, who works with UFAD. “It’s heartbreaking because I want to do more.”

UFAD started their work on Sept. 11 when a small group of volunteers distributed masks at 37MLK, a small unhoused community

at 37th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard where mostly elders live.

Then the group distributed masks to people living under several highway underpasses along MLK Boulevard and Telegraph Avenue. They ended the day’s work by distributing masks along and just west of Wood Street and between 18th and 26th streets in West Oakland.

On Saturday, about 20 people working with UFAD distributed masks again in the Wood street area. The Saturday distribution was part of the organization’s weekly workdays, which alternate between Saturdays and Sundays each week.

Wooten who is Black, has sickle cell anemia, children with asthmas and other underlying conditions, raised concerns to her employers about both the lack of protection against COVID-19 as well as detainees raising complaints to her that they had received hysterectomies that were not medically warranted.

Wooten was demoted from a full-time employee to a parttime on-call worker for her complaints.

U.S. Agencies Sent to Patrol Streets Learning Black History Year-Round in Portland Undermine Democracy Jane Matilda Bolin: Defying Expectations Opinion

By Richard Johnson, K-53293, 3.W.2.

San Quentin, CA 94974

What happened in Portland, Ore., is indeed a travesty of the highest order.

What was the justification for sending armed federal agents such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Dept. of Homeland Security to cities under the banner of federal protection of federal buildings, statues and national monuments?

I believe it was all just a pretext to attack pro-democracy advocates for justice, governors, mayors and supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Trump Administration also claims that the troops are being deployed to protect the citizens from crime and destruction. If that is the reason, where was this administration when Baltimore, Chicago and other cities were aflame from crime? Now, suddenly agents are needed to curb the violence.

Where was the government when young Blacks and other minorities were being routinely killed on the streets of America by rogue killer cops?

These questions must be

Richard Johnson

asked before simply assuming that the agents are there to serve and protect the people.

Who were they protecting when the president had peaceful protesters physically removed from Lafayette Square in Wash., D.C., so that he could have a photo op in front of that renowned and historical St. John’s Episcopal Church surrounded by some of his personnel?

Where were they when Black churches were being burned and when synagogues and mosques were also attacked and their members slaughtered while they were worshipping and observing their faiths?

And while peaceful demonstrators were being run over and killed by white supremacists, where were the federal agents to protect these lawabiding demonstrators?

These are some examples that shed light on the government’s true intent of sending federal agents across the nation

supposedly to safeguard the interests of democracy.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Law and order are a necessity, but when it is not administered justly then it becomes a hindrance to democracy and, in a pro-democratic society, it’s akin to tyranny and authoritarian rule like a dictatorship.

Crime in America isn’t new.

In fact, some would claim that it is the American way from its inception, true or not. But what is new is sending federal agents to many cities claiming their presence is needed to quell disturbances and crime resulting from protesters in the streets while most of them were exercising their constitutional rights.

Never in the history of this nation has this tactic been employed short of the riots of the 1960s, 1970s and most recently in the early 1990s. And those that were sent were national guards, not federal agents in plain clothes with unidentified and unmarked vehicles snatching people off the streets.

Everyone is alarmed at this point because these are acts of oppression and an abuse of unchecked power. Everybody must be held accountable for their actions from the lowest to the highest level.

Justice is further eroded while demoralization becomes the new order across the land.

When integrity is corrupted there’s no limits to decadence.

Kaiser Permanente Becomes First Carbon-Neutral Health System in the U.S.

By Jonathan Bair

Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest integrated, nonprofit health system, has become the first health care system in the United States to achieve carbonneutral status.

With its longstanding commitment to improving conditions that lead to poor health, Kaiser Permanente has prioritized sustainability to contribute to and catalyze a green future free of the extreme climate conditions currently harming so many Americans.

Announced on Monday, the move to carbon neutrality eliminates the organization’s

Greg A. Adams, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente.

800,000-ton annual carbon footprint, the equivalent of taking 175,000 cars off the road. The U.S. health care industry overall

is responsible for roughly 10% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions.

“As wildfires rage across the Western U.S., we can all see that the health impacts of climate change are not abstract or far in the future — they are here today, and they disproportionately impact the most vulnerable among us,” said Greg A. Adams, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente. “We must recognize, for example, that the pollution that leads to respiratory illnesses and is linked to higher mortality rates from COVID-19, disproportionately impacts Black and lowContinued on page 8

She broke down barriers, defined many firsts; made her own way despite discriminatory roadblocks, a lack of support, and steep criticism. And in doing so, Jane Matilda Bolin (1908–2007) became the first Black woman judge in the United States.

As a family court judge, the Poughkeepsie, N.Y.-born Bolin fought against racial discrimination within the system, advocated for children’s rights (specifically those of color).

The push toward such activism began at home.

Her father, Gaius Bolin, was an attorney with his own legal practice. The founding member of the local NAACP, he became the first Black president of the Dutchess County Bar Association.

The New York Times reported: Bolin loved her father’s law books. Crisis magazine, the NAACP’s official publication, printed photos of lynchings along with articles. Bolin, using the law, wanted to somehow get involved. In a 1978 letter she wrote: “It is easy to imagine how a young, protected child who sees portrayals of brutality is forever scarred and becomes determined to contribute in her own small way to social justice.”

As a young student, Bolin applied for enrollment at Vassar College. She was turned down because Vassar did not accept Black students. Instead, she attended Wellesley College. At age 16, she had become one of two Black freshmen admitted. Their presence being

Jane Matilda Bolin

unacceptable to the white students pushed them to move off campus. Still, Bolin graduated in the top 20 of her class.

Although Gaius Bolin had success as an attorney, law was not a field he encouraged his daughter to pursue.

“He was very opposed to the idea at first,” Bolin told the New York Times. “He assumed I’d be a schoolteacher. He didn’t think that women should hear the unpleasant things that lawyers have to hear.”

Gaius Bolin was not the only one who opposed his daughter’s legal ambitions, although he later gave her his full support. When Jane Bolin spoke to her guidance counselor at Wellesley, she was cautioned about the few opportunities the law presented to women, and “absolutely none for a colored one.”

Bolin went on to graduate from Yale Law School (1931), becoming the first Black wom-

an to do so. The following year, she passed the New York State Bar Examination.

After passing the bar, Bolin did a brief stint in her father’s law office. She moved on to the New York City Corporation Counsel’s Office. In 1933, she married Ralph E. Mizelle, an attorney. The couple practiced law together in New York City. When Mizelle died, she later married Walter Offutt Jr., a clergyman (died 1974).

In 1939, Bolin was appointed as a judge of the Domestic Relations Court. She served in that position for 40 years.

When she reached the mandatory retirement age of 70, she was forced to step down from the bench. Yet she remained active by tutoring public school children and reviewing disciplinary cases for the New York State Board of Regents.

“I’ve always done the kind of work I like,” she said.

The Key to Motivating Young Voters? Young Candidates

By Ben Jealous

One of the most exciting parts of this year’s Democratic National Convention for me was the keynote speech delivered collectively by a group of young progressive elected officials, many of them Black.

They showed us the potential for a promising future once we have gotten past the presidency of Donald Trump.

They also showed us how to get there. One way to make sure we remove Donald Trump from the White House and his enablers from Congress is to support exciting candidates at all levels who can energize Democratic voters—especially progressive young people— to vote.

The mass mobilization we have seen in the Black Lives Matter protests is an essential tool for turning energy into political will and bringing pres-

Ben Jealous sure on public officials. Ultimately, though, voting is the only tool we have for putting people who are committed to making the changes our country urgently needs into positions of power.

Many of the problems that have been with us for far longer than the current administration—including systemic inequity in health care, edu-

cation, housing, and policing-can and must be addressed at local and state levels.

That’s why transformational local candidates are a key to building progressive power and making progressive change. And getting elected and serving successfully in local office is often the first step to higher office.

Look at Virginia, where intense organizing over the past few election cycles turned the former capital of the Confederacy blue. Candidates from underrepresented communities—young people, people of color, women, immigrants, LGBTQ candidates—helped Democrats take control of both chambers of the state’s General Assembly. And that has meant the power to make huge changes for the people of Virginia— expanding access to health care, addressing gun violence, and more.

Opposition to President Trump helped drive change in Virginia and will motivate many people to get to the polls in November. But energy doesn’t come just from the top of the ticket. It runs both ways.

In fact, exciting local candidates can generate enthusiasm among people who might see national politics and candidates as far removed from their lives and concerns.

People For the American Way’s Next Up! project supports young candidates running at the state and local level, many of them from communities that have long been denied their fair share of political power. The enthusiasm for their candidacies can boost progressive prospects up and down the ballot.

There’s Arizona, for example, where Democrats have an excellent chance of picking up the U.S. Senate seat now Continued on page 8

The Black Cultural Zone (BCZ), in partnership with Oakland City Councilmember Loren Taylor, launched a weekly Sunday market on Sept. 6 in the heart of East Oakland in District 6.

The vibrant energy of the new Akoma Outdoor Market could be heard and felt well beyond the boundaries of the formerly vacant 56K-square-foot lot at the corner of 73 rd Avenue and Foothill Boulevard now reclaimed for community activation and liberation.

This market is named “Akoma” which means “heart” in Twi (a language spoken by the Ashanti in Ghana) because it is expected to bring new energy and life to the surrounding community by providing access to healthy foods, business oppor-

Congresswoman Lee Joins Senator Markey, Rep. Haaland, Grassroots Coalition in Announcing Economic Renewal Agenda Comprehensive “THRIVE Agenda” responds to ongoing crises of COVID-19, climate change, racial injustice, and economic inequity

By Alex Katz, Congresswoman Lee’s Office Rep. Barbara Lee joined several leaders in Congress and a coalition of grassroots groups, labor unions, and Black, Brown and Indigenous leaders from across the country to introduce a bold plan for economic renewal known as the Agenda to Transform, Heal, and Renew by Investing in a Vibrant Economy, or THRIVE Agenda.

Eighty members of Congress across both chambers have already endorsed the THRIVE resolution as original co-sponsors. THRIVE lays out the unifying principles necessary to build a society that enables dignified work; increased racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice; healthy communities; and a stable climate.

In the Senate the resolution is led by Senator Edward John Markey and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, both of Massachusetts, with support from Sen. Cory A. Booker and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) among others.

In the House of Representatives, the resolution is led by New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland with Rep. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna of California, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut with several others.

The THRIVE agenda is

built on eight pillars, which span from creating millions of good, safe jobs with access to unions to averting climate catastrophe while investing in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.

“The current COVID-19 crisis once again illustrates the legacy that racism and white supremacy has had in our country, and the desperate need to address the inequality that continues today,” said Congresswoman Barbara Lee. “We cannot change 400-yearold systems of oppression without a fight. This resolution is an important step in addressing the issues of economic inequality, climate change, and empowering workers.”

A new poll finds that the eight pillars of the THRIVE Agenda are broadly popular across the country. Additionally, a new economic analysis from the University of Massachusetts Amherst finds that a bold economic renewal plan, as outlined in the THRIVE Agenda, would create nearly 16 million new jobs.

Under this agenda, these 16 million new jobs would offer safe workplaces, familysustaining wages and benefits, and access to unions.

These workers would be part of a national agenda to de-

ploy clean and affordable public transit, replace lead pipes for clean water, expand wind and solar power, care for our children and the elderly, retrofit buildings to cut costs and pollution, expand manufacturing of clean technologies, restore our wetlands and forests, and grow food sustainably on family farms.

The THRIVE Agenda is supported by more than 200 national and local organizations, including the American Federation of Teachers, Center for American Progress, Church World Service, Climate Justice Alliance, Color of Change, Communications Workers of America, Green New Deal Network, Indigenous Environmental Network, League of Conservation Voters, Movement for Black Lives, People’s Action, Service Employees International Union, Sierra Club, Sunrise Movement, United We Dream.

“To meet this moment, we cannot accept short-term solutions that pretend our problems are siloed and don’t seek to transform the systems that harm Black people,” said Karissa Lewis, National Field director, Movement for Black Lives. “…We can’t address a pandemic that is ravaging Black and Brown people with-

out ensuring access to quality health care and the basic right of not living with or drinking toxic pollutants. Everything is connected, and we do ourselves a grave disservice by maintaining normality when momentum is on our side and the people are demanding more.”

“Indigenous peoples know that everything in life is connected and related,” agreed Tom BK Goldtooth, Executive Director, Indigenous Environmental Network. “The THRIVE Agenda addresses the climate crisis, racial injustice, mass unemployment, economic injustice and the global pandemic while recognizing the importance of recognition of our Indigenous and tribal sovereignty and treaty rights. Indigenous knowledge provides a path forward, acknowledging any form of economic recovery must respect the sacred relationship to Mother Earth, to assure nature and ecosystems are not viewed as capital in a carbon and conservation offset market system and THRIVE recognizes that.”

Farmers who want to learn organic production practices for California specialty crops can now get training at their convenience on their own computers.

The organic farming training is designed by the University of California Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, (UC SAREP) Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) and California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.

“This course includes information from the latest scientific research conducted by our University of California colleagues across the state, and boils it down into practical information for beginning or transitioning organic farmers of fruit, nuts, vegetables and other specialty crops,” said Sonja Brodt, UC SAREP academic coordinator for agriculture and environment.

The training program contains six learning modules: soil health, weed management, irrigation and water management, insect and mite pest management, disease management, and business management and marketing.

“We were able to draw on the expertise of 22 technical advisors, the majority of them from UC Cooperative Extension, UC campuses, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, to ensure the scientific accuracy of the information provided,” Brodt said.

The program provides a combination of written content, videos and do-it-yourself exercises that allow students to follow along at their own pace and test their grasp of the knowledge.

Farmers may read or view any parts of the course they choose, in any sequence. No certificate or credit is given at completion.

“While it was developed for California specialty crop farmers, the content is based on foundational principles that are relevant to all organic farmers and our hope is that growers across the U.S. find it to be a useful resource,” said Lauren Snyder, OFRF education and research program manager.

The organic farming training is free. To obtain a link to the training, submit a request at https://ofrf.org/beginning-farmertraining-program.

The District may schedule additional jobsite tours as needed.

6.

No photography by the tour attendees (Attendees) will be allowed. The District will take photographs, as requested by Attendees, restricted to the work zone. The District will release photographs to Attendees after the bid walk, pending review by District. All Attendees are required to have a photo ID and sign a confidentiality agreement not to share, sell, or publish photos.

Project information, including plans, specifications, plan holders list, bid results, etc., can be found at http://www.ebmud.com/current-construction-bids. The District will make its best efforts to include information provided by bidders obtaining plans and specifications, such as bidder’s names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, and email and website addresses, on the website plan holders list.

Prospective bidders may obtain the contract documents by either downloading the files from the District’s website or by requesting a hardcopy. Prospective bidders who download the documents from the website shall register online in order to be included on the Plan Holders List. Due to COVID-19, precautions are being taken to protect District employees and its customers. Instead of mailing out a hardcopy set of the Contract Documents, we will only be emailing the bid package (electronic copies of all forms required for submitting a bid) to requestors. Bidders shall print the forms out and submit their bid proposals via hardcopy. To request the bid package, prospective bidders shall visit the project website at Current Construction Bids at https://construction-bids.ebmud.com/ Request.aspx and submit a request through the “Request a Bid Set” link.

Proposals to perform the work shall be made on the forms and shall be submitted complete, including bid bond and list of subcontractors, in accordance with the requirements of the Specifications to be submitted with each Proposal.

Refer to Appendix C in the Specifications for details pertaining to sole source products specified by the District.

Bidders shall have an active Class A (General Engineering) license from the Contractors’ State License Board at the time of bid submission, which must remain valid throughout the duration of the contract. Refer to Article 19 of the Instruction to Bidders, Document 00 21 13.

A bidder’s bond for not less than 10% of the total bid dollar amount is required. Performance and payment bonds for not less than 100% of the contract price are required. As provided in Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, the Contractor may substitute securities for monies withheld by the District to ensure performance of the work.

In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 3400, the District has established a procedure which permits bidders to have their proposed unlisted “or equal” product or service submittals evaluated prior to the project bid opening. See Instructions To Bidders, Document 00 21 13, Article 3 - “Submittals Prior To Opening Bid.” This procedure does not apply where products or services have been limited by specific designation per Public Contract Code Section 3400 (c). The intent of the prequalification process is not for bidders to submit all of their proposed “or equal” products, but only those that would, if rejected, affect the bidder’s bid amount.

This is a public works contract. Prevailing wages are required on this contract. The prevailing wage rates are available on the Internet at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/DPreWageDetermination.htm. A copy of the prevailing wage rates is on file and available for inspection by any interested party on request at the District’s Wastewater Project and Construction Management Section. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

All Contractors bidding on a public works project and all Subcontractors of any tier shall be registered with the State Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code.

Official Name for the Concord Hill Regional Park Sought

By Godfrey Lee

The East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors is searching for a new name for the Park District’s 2,540 acre Concord Hills Regional Park that was acquired from the Navy earlier this year.

The Park includes a joint visitor center with the National Park Service highlighting the history of the Port Chicago, the Naval Magazine National Memorial, and the Diablo Valley. This is also the former site of the Concord Naval Weapons Station, and Port Chicago, when on July 17, 1944, over 5,000 tons of munitions at Port Chicago exploded, killing 320 mostly enlisted African American sailors, which accounted for a quarter of all African American deaths in World War II, and highlighted racial inequality within the Navy.

After the explosion, 50 sailors, eventually known as the Port Chicago 50, refused to return to load munitions because no safety measures had been implemented, and were sentenced to 15 years in prison.

They were released at the end of the war. A white lieutenant and later, Thurgood Marshall, defended these men at their trial. “This is not 50 men on trial for mutiny,�

Marshall said, “This is the Navy on trial for its whole vicious policy toward Negroes.�

Today, names are being sought for the naming of the Concord Hills Regional Park. One name is the “Thurgood Marshall Regional Park� to honor the life and work of the Supreme Court Justice who fought for the civil rights of both Native and African-Americans, especially the Port Chicago 50.

Climate change causes many conditions that drive poor health, including damaging extreme weather events such as wildfires, hurricanes, and droughts, increased rates of asthma and respiratory diseases, and the spread of infectious diseases such as malaria and Zika virus. “As physicians, climate change is absolutely in our lane — let’s educate ourselves, our patients, and our communities,� said Imelda Dacones, MD, president and CEO of Northwest Permanente Medical Group. “As a world, we will develop vaccines and effective medicines to treat the COVID-19 pandemic. Climate change, on the other hand, is a public health crisis where there will be no point of return if we don’t act today.�

Certified by the CarbonNeutral Protocol, the milestone comes as Kaiser Permanente has for decades embraced renewable energy and embedded sustainable practices throughout its business operations.

amenities that most neighborhoods in Oakland take for granted. At the same time, these same residents are fearful that improved amenities like banks, farmer’s markets, cafes, and sit-down restaurants will increase gentrification and displacement of long-term African American residents, family members and friends.

Taylor has pushed hard against the notion that East Oaklanders should settle for an either/or mentality. “In East Oakland we deserve nice things and we deserve to be able to stay in the town that we grew up in,� he said.

The Akoma Market is one of many initiatives he is pursuing to demonstrate development without displacement in East Oakland. “Centering our community is critical as we make investments, develop policies and implement programs to improve our part of the city.�

Members of the public are encouraged to come out to the weekly Akoma Outdoor Market between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. every Sunday through November 22 to shop, eat, learn, and play in a COVID-compliant environment where masks and social distancing is required.

The Key to Motivating Young Voters? Young Candidates

held by the appointed Republican senator Martha McSally.

We’re excited about supporting two local candidates; Whitney Walker and Jevin Hodge, both young Black people who are engaging their communities by challenging Republican incumbents on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.

How about Michigan, a battleground state that helped put Trump in the White House?

Chokwe Pitchford is generating excitement as a 21-year old Black man running to flip a seat in the state house.

Young voters have been going to the polls in higher numbers in recent elections. We must do everything in our power to keep that trend rising. If you know a young communityoriented person who ought to run for public office in the future, encourage them. We need their voices and energy to keep turning citizens and activists into voters.

And between now and November, do what you can to support young candidates who have stepped up. They are running in a year when public health restrictions make traditional campaigning harder and when disinformation and voter suppression campaigns are trying to keep Black people from voting. We can and will move this country toward a more just future—and we can’t let anyone convince us to take our eyes off that prize.

Fredericka McGee Offered and Rescinded Job Trump’s Barr Code! as Executive Director of California State Bar

By Kiki

Federicka McGee, a Black woman and former statehouse lawyer to five Assembly speakers, was offered the position of executive director with the California State Bar Association and that offer was rescinded.

McGee has not commented on the situation to the media.

She is currently the vice president of California Government Affairs and Operations for the American Beverage Association. In her work for the Assembly, “She shepherded significant public policy related to judicial diversity, mortgage foreclosure safety measures, legal representation for unaccompanied undocumented minors, 1st Amendment protections for on line reviews, and safeguards for victims of domestic violence,” her web profile says.

The situation was reported in the legal publication The Recorder.

According to The Recorder the president of the bar’s board of trustees called it an “evolving situation.”

Sometime in July McGee was offered the position of

AC Transit To Start Issuing Free Masks, Hand Sanitizer To Riders

executive director of the State Bar of California.

McGee, a 1991 graduate of the University of the Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law, was negotiating the terms of the employment contract when the board of trustees withdrew the offer of employment.

In an e-mail to The Recorder spokeswoman Teresa Ruano

said: “As you know, the executive director search is being conducted by the board of trustees, with their meetings about it in closed session, and held confidential as a personnel matter. For that reason, we won’t be commenting.”

Leah Wilson resigned from the executive director position in February and it has been vacant since that time.

Former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez was a reference for McGee to the Hawkins Company, a recruiter for the position.

According to The Recorder, McGee contacted Nunez to tell him the bar made her an offer and then contacted him again when she didn’t hear from the Board of Trustees or the recruiting firm. She contacted Nunez again to tell him that the offer had been rescinded.

The trustees met on Sept. 4 to discuss the executive director and the chief trial counsel positions. During a virtual

Zoom public comment session, viewers spent more than an hour endorsing McGee. Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego and leader of the California Legislative Black Caucus said “[w]e were concerned as we looked at this because we’ve had a tremendous experience with Mrs. McGee. We’re asking you to reconsider what has taken place.”

Board president Alan Steinbrecher acknowledged the comments and read a statement noting the bar’s commitment to diversity and that the two past executive directors, Contra Costa County Judy Johnson and Leah Wilson are Black women.

The trustees then went behind closed doors to discuss the two positions and made no comment.

The next scheduled meetings are for Sept. 24 and 25.

Turn Your Old Mattress Into Something New

By Eli Walsh Bay City News Foundation

The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District announced Monday that it will start issuing free face coverings and hand sanitizer to riders to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Offering personal protective equipment aboard its buses is part of AC Transit’s reNEW plan to maintain and protect the health of public transit passengers.

Three-ply face masks and hand sanitizer dispensers will be affixed on the rear door of most buses in AC Transit’s fleet between Tuesday and Oct. 16, according to agency officials.

“We have weathered earthquakes, social unrest, even a global recession through sound planning,” AC Transit Board President Joe Wallace said.

“Our reNEW Plan joins that tradition of planning excellence by demonstrating how AC Transit is working around the clock to restore full service and confidence, without compromising health and safety.”

Under the agency’s reNEW plan and Alameda County’s public health guidelines, AC Transit riders must maintain at least 6 feet of distance between each other. Bus capacity will also be capped to ensure riders can maintain their space.

Bus driver compartments will be encased in a protective Lexan glass shield to protect the health of drivers while onboard air filtration systems have been upgraded across the fleet, according to the agency.

Each bus in the agency’s fleet is cleaned each night, especially on high-touch surfaces like entry- and exit-way hand rails, pull cords and fare boxes.

AC Transit officials argued the reNEW plan builds on and surpasses the minimum safety standards for transit operators that were issued last month by a 30-member task force organized by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.

Information on the reNEW plan can be found at actransit. org/renew-covid19-actionplan.

From Solitary Confinement to the Stage: Singer Archie Williams Creates a New Life

Williams also had a music career at age 12, singing R&B at local nightclubs imitating Michael Jackson. But he also had his first brush with the law at that age when he attempted to steal a bicycle in Baton Rouge, La. He learned the roofing trade at 15, but at 18 he was working at a fish market. He broke into the house of his employer and was sentenced to a year in jail after a plea bargain.

Six months after his release, he was arrested again and charged with aggravated

burglary, attempted murder and aggravated rape despite having witnesses for his alibi (he was at home asleep). His trial lasted five days and he was quickly sentenced to life plus 80 years.

Louisiana State Prison, commonly called Angola for the plantation that once existed on the land and named for the preponderance of enslaved Africans who were from that nation was notorious for cruelty and harsh conditions both social and physical.

At Angola, Williams avoided

trouble by singing in the choir and forming a boxing program.

Six years after his arrival at Angola, Williams learned that a DNA test could prove his innocence. In 1995, after reviewing the court transcript that Williams had saved, the Innocence Project took his case.

DNA evidence was requested in 1996, but the state of Louisiana took 10 years to approve a law allowing prisoners such access.

The test of the rape kit in 2009 revealed that Williams DNA was not present, but since it didn’t reveal another possible rapist, Williams stayed in prison.

A fingerprint test led to another man who had been imprisoned for rape and had been caught two miles from where Williams’ accuser lived.

Williams was finally released in 2019, after spending 36 years in prison, 22 of them in solitary confinement.

Williams appears to be enjoying his time in California, comfortable with the precautions people are taking in the COVID-19 era. “Everybody’s wearing their mask, they stand their distance and everything. Even in the studio … if I have to pull off my mask to perform, they distance themselves.”

This report was based on stories published by The Peralta Citizen at Laney College and The Advocate.

workers.”

McElhaney has worked for affordable housing for 20 years. She authored Measure JJ in 2016 that expanded “just cause eviction” among other benefits.

In 2015 she was named by the San Francisco Business Times’ as one of the “most influential women in Bay Area business.”

Recently, The Oaklandside reported five current councilmembers are alleged to have accepted laundered money on a land deal, McElhaney being one of them along with Sheng Thao (not up for re-election), Rebecca Kaplan, Larry Reid (not seeking re-election) and Dan Kalb.

Previously McElhaney got a reduced fine from the Oak-

land Commission in 2018 from $8,625 to $2,550 for receiving a gift from a restricted source because of free services she got from an architect involving a government decision in which she had a financial interest.

McElhaney has faced severe family loss during her time in the city council. In December of 2015, she lost her 17-yearold grandson to non-police related gun violence near West Oakland Bart. In 2019 she lost her son in Los Angeles to nonpolice related gun violence.

During her tenure as city council member McElhaney has helped create the Department of Violence Prevention, “which seeks to implement community-focused and community lead strategies to drastically reduce homicides, do-

mestic violence, and the sexual exploitation of children.”

McElhaney is responsible along with Donald Lacy for the adoption of “Love Life” as Oakland’s Motto in 2017 in honor of Lacy’s 16-year-old daughter LoEshe (translation from Nigerian dialect is “love life” Lacy and others who were the victims of violence.

The hope was that by adopting the motto it would “send a clear message that honors residents who have lost their lives to gun violence and speak hope and healing to the communities of residents who are dedicated to living robust lives.”

The motto was added to “Welcome to Oakland” signs.

year.”

Mask Oakland also gave masks to SMC Tenants Council, who handed them out on Sunday. The tenants union gave out most of their 400 masks along the Wood street area and worked with a crew of about 20 people.

“The reason that we were out there is the same reason why we’re organizing as tenants,” said Emily Stone of SMC Tenants Council.

“Our leaders aren’t doing nearly enough to solve our problems and meet our very basic needs.”

Stone said SMC Tenants Council is fighting for more protections for tenants that are not yet available, like rent cancelation during the COVID-19 pandemic and added that “our unhoused

neighbors are dealing with lack of action from [our local leaders] more severely.”

Stone pointed out that resources are available to shelter people in hotel rooms through emergency powers available to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Alameda Councty Board of Supervisors and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf due to the declared state of emergency under COVID-19, but that hotel rooms still sit empty while people live on the street and are forced to inhale wildfire smoke.

While the state and Alameda County have set aside about 1,000 hotel rooms for unhoused people through Project Roomkey, their own current data shows about 25% of those rooms cur-

rently sit empty.

The City and the County have handed out masks to unhoused people, but far fewer than grassroots groups with no government funding.

Public Information Officer L. Autumn King said that the city has worked with the county and “provided over 6,500 masks within the last month.” Redwoods said Mask Oakland has handed our over 30,000 in the last month and is set to hand out about 54,000 after this upcoming weekend.

A Wood Street resident on Sunday who asked not to be named claimed all the masks he has received were from grassroots groups.

“Grassroots groups actually show up, whereas the city has not shown up,” he said.

He risked his career and paid the price for his beliefs and commitments to justice. Now many others are coming out of the shadows to be counted among the brave, and the righteous to take a crucial stand in the face of oppression.

Archie Williams had a run of bad luck that lasted almost 37 years.

Now the ex-convict, who was released from a Louisiana prison through the Innocence Project, is enrolled in Oakland’s Laney College and also a semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent. Last year, he performed at the Apollo Theater in New York.

Williams, 60, was visiting the campus during the summer when he happened upon the first tour conducted by ‘Restoring Our Communities,’ a program assisting students impacted by incarceration, and ended up enrolling to study piano and voice in the fall. On September 8, he was in Los Angeles at AGT’s studio for the second time, having made it past the first round singing “Love’s In Need of Love Today,” written by Stevie Wonder.

Wonder was so impressed with Williams’ performance that he is writing a song with and for Williams to perform. To add to his spurt of good luck, Williams has united with a 42-year-old daughter he didn’t know he had.

Williams seems astounded to be working with Wonder, who rose to fame at the age of 12.

Housing and homelessness are central issues for District 3.

On this issue, McElhaney touts her housing work and the “creation of a Proactive Rental Inspection service to ensure safe dwellings for families and their children and protect them for predatory landlords.”

She is on record as being in favor of “trailers, not tiny homes.”

On racial injustice and the effectiveness of policing she states that the city of Oakland is ten years behind in systems and IT development and needs to invest in that structure to better audit and allocate funding.

While face masks are widely available throughout Oakland, most are useless to protect against smoke.

Greenlining Institute California Proposition Endorsements: YES on Props. 15 & 16, NO on 22 “Racial Justice is on the Ballot in California this Year”

By Bruce Mirken, Greenlining Institute Media Relations Director

With California voters facing multiple ballot propositions that will greatly impact the state’s struggle to overcome systemic racism and inequality, The Greenlining Institute has released its endorsements on key California ballot propositions, focusing on those with direct racial equity implications.

“There is near-universal recognition that the anti-racist uprisings in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the racialized caste system that continues to exist,” said Greenlining Institute President and CEO Debra Gore-Mann. “There is an urgent cry for change and racial justice is literally on the ballot this year. California voters have a chance to take real steps toward justice – and to stop schemes that perpetuate the status quo of the privileged few.”

Greenlining’s positions: YES on Prop. 15: Make our property tax system fairer and boost funding available for schools and other vital needs in underserved communities.

YES on Prop. 16: Allow California to address our state’s sad history of discrimination by considering race, ethnicity and sex.

“Race-neutral” solutions can never fix problems rooted in racism.

YES on Prop. 17: Allow

persons convicted of felonies who are on parole to vote in California elections. California’s current felony disenfranchisement law is a remnant of an almost 150-year-old effort to keep Black and Brown citizens out of the voting booth.

NO on Prop. 19: Don’t create a new tax break that would primarily benefit wealthy homeowners.

NO on Prop. 20: Don’t return to old, failed “tough on crime” policies that would set criminal justice reform back for decades and hurt Black and Brown communities.

YES on Prop. 21: Allow cities to establish rent control on residential properties that are over 15 years old. Protect seniors, veterans, teachers and frontline workers who are particularly vulnerable to California’s affordable housing crisis.

NO on Prop. 22: Reject this deceptive effort by lucrative, app-based companies to deprive their workers of fundamental protections.

NO POSITION on Prop.

24: Greenlining believes in a future in which all are protected from data-driven discrimination regardless of whether or not we opt out of data collection. While Prop. 24 increases privacy protections in some areas, it does not go far enough to protect consumers.

Nancy Sidebotham Runs for Oakland City Council At-Large Continued from page 1

Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton as a resource for the homeless. The infrastructure is present for the unhoused community.

The Alameda County Social Services Dept. is ignoring Oakland and not providing needed services, she says, and expressed concerned about the developers taking money out of Oakland and the gang warfare.

On her website Nancy talks about “voters [taking] back City Hall. . . . Are you tired of the rhetoric, the continuous high taxes, the lack of jobs and business opportunities, the high crime rate?

Are you tired of being ignored by your elected officials?”

“The election is not about money, it’s about your vote and Oakland’s future! Most voters are trying to make ends meet while City Hall continues to tax you for services unseen. I understand how the City operates and what needs to be done to make Oakland once again a viable city.”

She adds that the last time Oakland was a viable city was when Henry Gardner was City Manager from 1981– 1993.

Black Nurse, Whistleblower Files Complaint About Conditions at ICE Facility

true, the appalling conditions described in the whistleblower complaint—including allegations of mass hysterectomies being performed on vulnerable immigrant women—are a staggering abuse of human rights. The DHS Inspector General must immediately investigate the allegations detailed in this complaint.”

Per the complaint: “[f]or years, detained immigrants at ICDC have reported human rights abuses including lack of medical and mental health care, due process violations, unsanitary living conditions and more. . . “ Project South had a report in 2017 title “Imprisoned Justice.”

Wooten added the quarantine procedures were not followed nor were social distancing, testing, cleaning and PPE procedures followed for

COVID-19.

As for the unnecessary hysterectomies, Wooten said “[e]verybody’s uterus cannot be that bad” and that one doctor in particular performed hysterectomies on every patient he saw. Detainees were questioning Wooten about the “uterus collector.”

There was also a general lack of medical care and respect for the detainees, most of whom were Latinx. Records and requests were destroyed or altered to cover up the abuses. Temperatures changed on charts would not show if patients had a fever.

The complaint concluded, that “due to the gravity of these violations and the continued negative impact on the health and safety of both detained immigrants and ICDC employees, we ask that you review this complaint in an expedited manner.”

Thegrio contributed to this report.
