pro-charter school billionaires or would like the district to continue the kind of draconian cuts that have become common in recent years. The Post-endorsed candidate from District 1, Thomas said she is committed to “stopping the charter school proliferation that is happening in Oakland.” With a career of 30 years in accounting, she said she hopes to use her skills to fight for financial transparency and stop the state and its agency, the Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team (FCMAT), from running roughshod over the school district.
Three District 5 Candidates By Michelle Snider
Incumbent Noel Gallo East Oakland native and District 5 incumbent Noel Gallo touts his Oakland public education with pride. He’s been holding his city council position since 2013 and before that, he served 20 years as a member of the Oakland Board of Education. In his time on the City Council, Gallo helped create the Police Commission and is committed to reducing the police department budget by 50%. He says he is committed to reimagining public safety and believes in providing a model of counseling for youth that is from the school level to street level as a form of violence prevention. Gallo supports affordable housing, currently working with the Unity Council to continue Phase 2 development for

She strongly stated that as a board member she would not vote to close schools because “it is hugely disruptive to parents, teachers and students.” The Post endorsement committee also supported Davis for his experience in education. However, he was equivocal on a number of issues. Rather than say there is a need to wrest control from the neoliberals in state government, he said, “The best antidote to FCMAT is getting our own financial house in order,” which is hard to do if the privatizers and their supporters are in charge. Gash, who was strongly endorsed for District 3, said she is opposed to closing schools and is determined to invest in education. “We have to stop defunding the schools and putting money in consulting costs. You have to have board members who will fight tooth and nail to make sure money that students’ need are not cut in half. They need to be given the maximum. “ She said that FCMAT officials, who are based in Bakersfield, “don’t value Oakland people and Oakland voices. They end up contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline.” The Post also endorsed Williams for District 3 school board. A San Francisco public school teacher who lives in Oakland, he said he would never vote to close a school. For District 5, the Post endorsed Mike Hutchinson.

Candidates for Oakland’s District 7 Share Their Platforms By Clifford L. Williams
Treva Reid
Reid is a former field representative for State Assemblyperson Nancy Skinner and she says her campaign is based on her passion to serve and to utilize her years of experienced leadership to help to move East Oakland forward as a fighter for more affordable housing, jobs and services alleviate the plight of our homeless encampments. She says she’s committed to a strategic process that will include the needs of and benefits East Oakland’s residents. “Our community must be heard. I believe it is prudent that you proactively meet them where they are in your approach to championing equitable outcomes,” she added. Reid’s campaign platform focuses on community vitality, ensuring housing stability, increasing career opportunities, economic development and ending gun violence. She says she’s ready to tackle the city’s most challenging police communityrelations issues and illegal trashing of neighborhoods with sound judgment, strategic planning and collaborative execution. Reid’s numerous endorsements include State Senator Nancy Skinner, Oakland Firefighters, Pastor Michael McBride of The Way Church and BWOPA (Black Women Organized for Political Action). She is the only candidate endorsed by the Alameda County Democratic Party. She is the daughter of City Councilmember Larry Reid. To learn more about Reid’s campaign, go to www.reidforoakland.com. Aaron Clay Clay is the CEO of renewable energy solar company Sunswarm Community Solar, and a teacher for the Oakland Unified School District. He believes Oakland and District 7 needs to be a more healthy and sustainable community that provides affordable housing for everyone. “A healthy community is a place where residents can afford to live, be comfortable and be safe in their home,” said Clay. “Instead, we see garbage on the ground, abandoned cars, and their community deteriorating. More attention needs to focus on eradicating the blight in our community.” “I’ve taught in East Oakland’s public schools and I’ve seen what those kids go through. Let’s get them on board and allow them to create a different vision for the community. I will also be a champion to our youth and seniors,” said Clay. “We also need jobs in East Oakland,” added Clay. “Establishing an economic-based green economy would be ideal because this area is the perfect place for it.

Vote Measure S 1 For Power to Police the Police
Is there any doubt that the community needs the power to police the police? For a hundred years and more the police have been able to do pretty much whatever they desired to Black and Brown people who have been at the receiving end of gross misconduct and outright brutality. Oakland made a big step toward changing that situation when voters approved Measure LL in 2016. That changed the City Charter and established a civilian police review commission that has real power. The Police Commission has done important work since it was created, including instituting a landmark stop and search policy for parolees and probationers. The Commission fired the police officers who killed a sleeping man. S 1 strengthens the commission’s ability to hold the Chief of Police accountable regarding compliance with federal orders related to racial discrimination.
Even though Measure LL was a good beginning, there is a need for stronger, independent civilian oversight of the police. Here’s how Measure S1 provides civilian oversight: 1. Creates a civilian Inspector General (IG) reporting to the Police Commission and not the Police Chief. The IG will have the power to see every detail of OPDs operations and recommend changes. 2. Allows the Police Commission to access all OPD documents and files. This is essential for officer discipline and policy making. Continued on Page 10

Young Activists Urge Black and Brown Learning Black History Year-Round Millennials, Generation Z-ers to Vote Partially Paralyzed in WWI, Horace Pippin Painted Black Life at War and Peace By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media
In an election year when a few votes in a handful of swing states will likely determine who will win the U.S. presidency, poll watchers are predicting that young people could be the deciding vote in several places. Across California, young voters are speaking out about the issues that concern them this election, and decisions that will affect their future. On Sept. 11, Power California, a civic engagement organization that encourages young people of color to participate in government, hosted their “Fight For Our Future Campaign Kick-Off.” Young activists from all corners of California spoke about issues coming up in the November election to launch the campaign, which aims to reach more than 150,000 California voters between the ages of 18 and 35 through virtual phone banking and texting. Ixchel Arista, a 15-year-old youth organizer with Oakland Kids First, advocated for Measure QQ, a ballot initiative in Oakland which will allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in school board elections. “Students feel the most impact as we spend most of our lives at school, yet have no say in decisions being made for our education. We need to be able to decide who is mak-

ing these impactful decisions,” said Arista. Annie Gonzalez, the actress known for her role as Lidia Solis on Netflix’s comedy-drama series “Gentefied,” hosted the virtual event. She addressed the struggles that young people of color are facing in the lead up to the election. According to Power California’s 2020 Youth Poll, 46 % of young people surveyed had difficulty buying food, household supplies or medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 67 % said their state government is not doing enough to address the impact of COVID-19. “Young people of color have been hit hard by these crises, and their needs and futures must be centered in this election, and always during the recovery, from young essential workers risking everything to take care of us to college students unsure about their future to everyday young people struggling to afford rent,” said Gonzalez. Kendrick Sampson, activist and actor known for his role as Nathan Campbell on HBO’s popular comedy-drama series “Insecure,” addressed the young people watching the event as well. He stressed the importance of activism and participation. “I’m inspired by all the young people. It’s what keeps me going and motivated, because y’all are leading the
movement across the country. Young people like yourselves are rising up and fueling movements for justice, from Black Lives Matter and calls to defund the police to climate change and immigrant rights,” Sampson said. “You are the leaders and the moral compass of our nation in every major movement for justice that has been true in our past, and it is still true today.” Tyler Okeke, a 19-year-old organizer with Power California, asked young people to sign a letter asking Gov. Gavin Newsom to endorse Proposition 15. The ballot measure would require commercial and industrial properties to be taxed at their market value. According to Ballotpedia, 40 % of the revenue generated will fund school districts and community colleges. “It will require decisive action from our elected leaders, especially leaders like Governor Newsom,” he said. “We need leaders who will put people over corporations and take steps to meet California’s most essential human needs while recognizing that young people are the central force of this future that we want for this state.” Early voting in California will begin Monday, Oct. 5. Registered voters will be able to either mail in or drop off their ballots from that day until the day before Election Day, Monday, Nov. 2.

A late bloomer in the art world, Horace Pippin (1888–1946) used his talent to heal many of his personal struggles: poverty, racism and an injury sustained in combat during World War I. In France, Pippin was shot in his right shoulder by a German sniper, causing limited range of motion in his arm. Art then became a part of years of rehabilitation. He spent hours struggling; projecting his recollection of combat and the horrors of war onto canvas. He would later rise quickly in the art world. Pippin’s interest in art developed during elementary school in West Chester, Pa., where he would often get into trouble with teachers for drifting away from his studies to sketch horses that competed at the race track. Yet he continued to draw, entering his work in a contest. “Draw Me—and win a prize!” read the magazine advertisement young Pippin had come across. He entered, winning prizes that included a box of crayons, watercolor paint and two brushes. All went to good use: He drew biblical pictures on handmade muslin doilies, selling them at a Sunday school festival. Around age 14, Pippin was working at a nearby farm, where he’d sketched a drawing of his employer taking a nap. The employer was so impressed that he offered to pay to send Pippin to art school. But Pippin’s mother had taken ill; he was her sole support. He turned it down. Later jobs included unloading coal, iron worker and junk dealer. By age 18, he’d become a porter at a neighborhood hotel. After his mother died, he moved to Paterson, N.J., where he took on a job loading crates of furniture. This exposure en-

abled Pippin to study various paintings, and led him to capture life and lived experiences through his own art.
While serving the military in France, Pippin’s regiment came under fire. He quickly sketched his front-line peers and the surroundings. These later became his early war paintings. Pippin was discharged from the military in 1919 with a partially paralyzed right arm. He’d said that he felt his “right arm was bound to me. I could not use it for anything.” Still, he began to paint by burning designs into wood panels with a red-hot poker. He would then paint in the outlined areas. He would later be described as a “self-taught painter of primiContinued on page 7
No on Prop 15: We Must Protect and Stimulate Black Enterprise By Jay King
Among the many crises facing the African American community today, Proposition 15 and the $11.5 billion in higher property taxes it will bring is one of the most irresponsible. As president of the California Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC), I am constantly looking for ways to advance opportunities for Black businesses and, at the same time, ensure that we all do our part to maintain the hard-fought economic prosperity that we have gained. The timing of Proposition 15 could not be worse. Black businesses in California are already on the brink of extinction, according to The Washington Post. Almost half of our African-American business owners are out of work, a far steeper decline than other racial groups, at 22%. We know that the insidious COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the senseless murders of our brothers and sisters has further exposed inequalities in our community. But I refuse to see us as victims. We have an opportunity

to protect Black enterprise with our voices and, ultimately, votes by opposing Proposition 15 on the November ballot. According to a recent study by the California State Conference of the NAACP, increasing taxes for business properties, as Proposition 15 proposes, will disproportionately hurt minority-owned businesses and speed up the gentrification of our communities. Unless Proposition 15 is defeated, the largest property tax increase in California history will serve as an accelerant in eradicating Black enterprise statewide. Continued on page 7

Congresswoman Barbara Lee Statement on the Passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg By Alex Katz
U.S. Representative Barbara Lee praised the accomplishments for of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday, Sept. 18, 2020, of complications of pancreatic cancer, which she had been battling courageously for some years. “Our country mourns the loss of a giant, an icon, and a warrior for democracy Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” Lee said on Monday in a statement. “In her nearly three decades of service on our nation’s highest court, she fundamentally changed life for women in America, and changed our entire nation for the better. Justice Ginsburg was a pioneer for reproductive rights, civil rights, and equal protection under the law. “Without her leadership and conviction, the world would be a different place for women, people of color, and other marginalized communities,” Lee said. “Her tenacious fight for gender equality in the face of powerful opposition, and her historic opinions and dissents on the bench, bent the arc of history towards justice. “As courageous as she was intelligent, her decency, her legal brilliance and her commitment to a democracy that serves all, rather than the few, make her a model for the next Supreme Court Associate Justice and for all justices that will follow her. This is a loss for an entire nation that was made greater by her life’s work. “My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and loved ones during this difficult time.” The public displays of re-
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
spect for RBG will stretch through Friday as her body will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol. Other women, including civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, have had their bodies displayed at the famed Rotunda. But RBG will be the first woman to ever lie in state, an honor reserved for 33 men before her. “Her passing is an incalculable loss for our democracy and for all who sacrifice and strive to build a better future for our children,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement. The rites carrying on through the end of the week and beyond could complicate President Donald Trump’s plans to quickly install a successor before Election Day despite her own dying wish that the decision is left to the next
Commander-In-Chief. Trump suggested Monday that he will wait until after Ginsburg’s funeral to name a potential successor. “We should wait until the services are over,” Trump said, apparently referring to funeral rites for Ginsburg. He also said he would name a nominee on Sept. 25 or Sept. 26, which would appear to be before any funeral. No details about Ginsburg’s funeral have yet been released but a small private service is expected to be held followed by a burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Her late husband, Martin Ginsburg, was buried at Arlington after his death in 2010. Alex Katz is district communications manager for Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s office.

DEAR BIG TOBACCO, WE ARE DYING. But you already know that. Smoking kills more African Americans than AIDS, drug and alcohol abuse, car crashes, and murder combined. And 70% of us who smoke use menthol cigarettes. That’s no coincidence. You’ve spent decades pushing menthols into Black communities with cheap prices and slick advertising. And the worst part is, you think you can keep getting away with it. You come after our brothers, sisters, parents, and friends. Now, we’re coming after you. We want you out of Black neighborhoods, because our lives are worth more than your bottom line.
We are people, not profit.
Signed,

No on Prop 15: We Must Protect and Stimulate Black Enterprise Painter Horace Pippin Continued from page 2
Further, the same study also finds that Proposition 15’s proposed provisions to “protect” minority businesses are utterly meaningless. Here’s why: Many small businesses, especially minority-owned businesses, do not own their stores, offices and shops. Instead, they rent their properties under what’s known as a “triple net” lease, meaning they are responsible for paying property taxes, building insurance and maintenance costs, in addition to the normal components such as rent and utilities. The truth is that Proposition 15 will mean skyrocketing property taxes and rents for small businesses
across California. Look up or down any street in our community. Small businesses have never faced more challenging times. Many are struggling to reopen after the COVID-19 shutdown. But, NOTHING in Proposition 15 prevents higher property taxes from being passed on to their tenants by increasing rent. Even worse, NOTHING in the initiative excludes small businesses from reassessment. Read the initiative for yourself here. Unfortunately, the news only gets worse for our community. Because these neighborhood small businesses will face higher costs, they have only a couple of viable alternatives.
The first option is to absorb Proposition 15’s massive tax hike but reduce staff – thereby cutting costs and killing jobs. This “solution” will increase unemployment in our community. The second “option” involves raising prices on consumers to pay for the steep tax hike. Ultimately, if this option is pursued, everything that we buy – food, drinks, groceries, clothes, gas, health care, day care and other services – will cost everyone more. Now is not the time to increase the cost of living, especially in our communities still struggling to come back. Experience has shown that
if something sounds too good to be true, it likely isn’t true. So, when Prop 15 proponents suggest that it’s feasible to raise $11.5 billion a year in property taxes—but that small businesses who compose the overwhelming majority of businesses in California won’t be hurt—alarm bells should go off. We need to protect and stimulate Black enterprise now more than ever. Voting NO on Proposition 15 is the first step toward keeping the hard-fought gains we have made as a community. Jay King is the President of The California Black Chamber of Commerce.

tive art … with a refined, contemporary sense of color and design.” Pippin’s work depicted the Black experience in America, according to some scholars, “without an assumption of inferiority or attitudes of protest or satire acquired in defense … but simply and literally from what was inside his head.” In the book “Horace Pippin: A Negro Painter in America,” author Selden Rodman wrote: “The act of painting for Pippin began as a catharsis, a means of ridding himself of the nightmarish encounters of war. When he depicted American troops, they were Negro
soldiers, members of his own division—himself.”

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CDS20-10310. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Oakland and Vallejo Performers Prominent in Emmys 2020 By Kiki
Zendaya, an Oakland native, made history as she became the youngest person to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama series at the 72nd Primetime Emmys awards, which was held virtually and aired on Sunday. Zendaya was born in Oakland on Sept. 1, 1996, and attended Oakland School for the Arts. She was a first-time Emmy nominee and her win was a surprise against last year’s winner Jodie Comer and other nominees Olivia Colman, Laura Linney, and Jennifer Aniston. Zendaya plays a 17-yearold drug addict and the narrator in “Euphoria” on HBO. In her acceptance speech Zendaya said “I know this feels like a really weird time to be celebrating, [b]ut I just want to say that there is hope in the young people out there.” Mahershala Ali, also born
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Zendaya
in Oakland, won for Outstanding Children’s Program as executive producer of the HBO documentary “We Are the Dream: The Kids of the Oakland MLK Oratorical Fest.” Ali attended St. Mary’s College of California in Mor-
aga. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who was raised in Oakland, won for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series in HBO’s “Watchmen.” He gave a shout out to West Oakland and dedicated
the award “to all of the Black women in my life.” It was his first Emmy and he won against Jim Parson, Dylan McDermott, Tituss Bergess, Jovan Adepo and Louis Gossett Jr. (the latter two are on the show with him. Abdul-Mateen has a dual
role in the show, as Regina King’s characters husband, and as “Doctor Manhattan.” He will also star as Black Panther co-founder Bobby Seale in “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which debuts on Netflix on October 16. And finally, Vallejo’s own H.E.R. played the piano, gui-
tar, and sang Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” during the “In Memoriam” segment. Notable Black performers mentioned who passed since the last Emmys include Naya Rivera, Jas Waters, John Witherspoon, Ja’Net Dubois, Diahann Carroll and Chadwick Boseman.
Police Group Places Gun Target State To Stop Accepting New on Image of Black Elected Official Unemployment Claims for
By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media
America is still healing from several violent murders of unarmed Black men and women at the hands of law enforcement officers across the country. But that climate in the country, volatile and fraught with distrust and disagreement, did not stop members of the California Correctional Peace Officer Association (CCPOA) from placing a gun target on the photo of a Black lawmaker in California. The CCPOA, in a two-minute political video, clearly displayed an image of a “crosshair” symbol over the face of State Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles) at the 1-minute-20-second mark of the clip, which was widely circulated before it was deleted. “From what I saw, there were no Black correctional officers in the video, no Black representation,” the Rev. Jonathan E.D. Moseley, president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Action Network, told California Black Media (CBM). “It was a despicable piece of propaganda. It was not just targeting elected officials, it targeted an elected Black official,” he continued.
Glen Stailey, a correctional officer and CCPOA’s state president, is specifically pointing his finger at the photo of Jones-Sawyer, which is covered by the crosshairs target symbol.
was “heartbreaking.” “This is hurtful and despicable,” she said. “At its best, this video shows a violation of the trust that we place in our law enforcement authorities. At its worst, this is a dangerously suggestive, racist, calculated and terrifying act perpetrated by people who should know better. These are people we count on to protect us – not to use symbols we all can identify to instill fear in us,” Huffman said. “An apology just doesn’t cut it.” After a slew of comments on Twitter and Facebook reacting to the video, most of them in opposition, the CCPOA deleted the video. “The CCPOA posted a video that showed we are ‘targeting’ several legislative districts,” Stailey said in a statement. “It would require a great stretch of the imagination to believe that we meant anything other than our clear intent, which was to demonstrate that we are mounting political campaigns against certain legislators. However, to put this controversy to rest, we are moving the video from our official channels and editing it.”
Glen Stailey, a correctional officer and CCPOA’s state president, posted the video on Facebook. CCPOA is supporting a candidate who is running against Jones-Sawyer in the November General Election. The crosshair symbol is commonly used figuratively to connote that someone or something is being targeted. Whether it’s a sniper, police officer, or a citizen practicing at a range, shooters rely on actual crosshairs in firearm viewfinders to mark the object of their impending gunfire, before they squeeze the trigger. “It is unconscionable that the president of a peace officer’s association would use such a scare tactic that could incite someone to take action and cause harm,” said JonesSawyer, who has asked the Assembly Sergeant-at-Arms
for additional security. He has also requested that California Attorney General Xavier Becerra investigate. In the video, Stailey is shown staring at a wall lined with photos. Other individuals are standing by him. He is specifically pointing his finger at the photo of Jones-Sawyer, which is covered by the crosshairs target symbol. “CCPOA is prepared to take the lead and speak the loudest. We are going to demand that the increased violence and assault on peace officers are addressed and the perpetrators are held accountable to the highest degree,” Stailey says in the video, pointing to Jones-Sawyer’s photo. Alice Huffman, president of the California-Hawaii branch To read the full story, go of the NAACP, watched the to postnewsgroup.com video. She told CBM that it
Those at high risk for flu complications include young children, pregnant women, people 65 years and older, and people with certain chronic health conditions. Anyone who is six months old or older should get a yearly flu vaccine. The CDC recommends getting vaccinated in September or October, but a flu shot anytime during the flu season can help protect you. Flu season in North America rarely begins before early October and usually lasts from December to March. In the past two years, the peak activity has occurred around mid-to-late February. Your body needs two weeks after a shot to develop a protective response to the influenza virus, so your best bet is to get vaccinated before the flu rate begins to climb. Workplaces and other settings that usually provide flu shots may not do so this season because of the challenges of maintaining social distancing. For more information on where you can get a flu vaccine, visit www.vaccinefinder.org. When going to get a flu shot, please practice everyday preventive actions and follow
the CDC’srecommendations for running essential errands. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or health department if they are following CDC’s vaccination pandemic guidance. Any vaccination location following CDC’s guidance should be a safe place for you to get a flu vaccine. Medicare Part B covers one flu shot per flu season per beneficiary. You pay nothing for a flu shot if your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider accepts Medicare payment for giving the shot. If you have a child over six months old who qualifies for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), you may also qualify for a flu vaccination at no cost to you. What’s the difference between flu and COVID-19? Influenza (flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they’re caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2) and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Because some symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are simi-
Seniors: Get Your Flu Shot This Fall – It’s Important! By Seema Verma
Getting vaccinated for the flu this fall is more important than ever. Not only will a flu shot help keep you and your family healthy, it can help reduce the strain on our healthcare system and keep hospital beds and other medical resources available for people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This is no ordinary flu season; it’s a flu season amid a pandemic. With two dangerous viruses going around at once, it’s time for us to protect our communities by getting the vaccine we already have: the flu vaccine. A flu shot won’t protect you against COVID-19, but it has many other important benefits. Flu vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of flu illness, hospitalization, and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there’s no evidence that a flu vaccination increases your risk of getting sick from a coronavirus, like the one that causes COVID-19.
lar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis. It is possible to have flu and COVID-19 at the same time. Health experts are still studying how common this can be. While it’s not possible to say with certainty what will happen in the fall and winter, CDC believes it’s likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both be spreading. CDC has developed a test that will check for A and B type seasonal flu viruses and SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This test will be used by U.S. public health laboratories. Testing for these viruses at the same time will give public health officials important information about how flu and COVID-19 are spreading and what preventive steps should be taken. So please protect yourself, your family, and your community by getting a flu shot this fall. Seema Verma is the administrator for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
2 Weeks to Address Backlog
By Eli Walsh Bay City News Foundation
Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that the state Economic Development Department will stop accepting new unemployment insurance applications for two weeks to determine how to reduce the state’s vast backlog of claims. The EDD temporarily halted accepting new claims on Saturday following the release of a report detailing why the agency has not been able to handle the influx of unemployment insurance applications since the novel coronavirus pandemic began. The report from the EDD Strike Team found a backlog of some 600,000 unfulfilled unemployment claims due in part to claims being flagged for manual procession rather than being processed through the state’s automated identification system. In addition, that backlog was growing by some 10,000 claims per day before the agency halted new applications. Newsom argued the claim processing issue is a result of the state’s aging technological systems, which he said his administration inherited and has been “trying to patch it together.” “This system is a 30-plusyear-old technological system,” Newsom said, adding that it needs to be upgraded or “frankly ... strewn to the wastebin of history.” The two-week pause in accepting new claims will allow the state to install a new identification system from the identity verification company ID.me, which is already used by the California Department of Motor Vehicles to confirm identities. Before the two-week pause began on Saturday, some 40 percent of unemployment claims were being sent to manual processing, which can take weeks or months to complete, according to the report. Newsom and state Government Operations Secretary Yolanda Richardson, who co-
chaired the strike team, said the new automated ID system would allow EDD to process around 90% of those stagnant claims in a matter of weeks. “This is about getting a check in their hand much faster,” Richardson said. The report was initially supposed to be released one week ago, but Newsom said the twoweek pause went into effect Saturday because “I didn’t want to wait another day to start this reset period to get this system back on its feet.” The ID.me system is expected to go live and begin processing claims Oct. 5, according to state officials. Once that happens, EDD Director Sharon Hilliard said the backlog is expected to be cleared by January. “But we’re making huge progress each and every day,” she said, adding that many backlogged claims are likely to be processed before then. Newsom said the two-week pause is not a silver bullet to fix years of technological issues and months of delayed claims, but is part of the state’s shortand long-term strategy to more efficiently help Californians. Part of that long-term strategy, he said, also centered on procuring more information technology experts to “bring modern and innovative thinking into our processes.” “We recognize the magnitude of the responsibility and the extraordinary challenge that we have in front of us,” Newsom said. “So we’ll be more transparent ... in real time over the course of weeks, not waiting months for the results of these efforts.”

Is Your Tap Water Safe to Drink? By Dale Hunter In Partnership with California Black Media

Is your tap water safe to drink? For a majority of Californians, the answer is “yes.� However, in some areas, especially rural and disadvantaged communities, the drinking water does not meet state and federal drinking water standards and regulations. California has some of the strictest water quality regulations in the nation, but there is no onesize-fits-all solution for communities with challenges meeting those regulations. The quality of your drinking water depends largely on where you live. For example, if you live in Stockton, the source of your drinking water may be from local groundwater wells or from the San Joaquin River Delta. Many Southern Californians drink water from the Colorado River. The source of your water supply dictates how much clean-up and treatment is required. The agency responsible for delivering the water to your home — which may be a city, special district or private company — will dictate whether that treatment occurs, and which process is used. The California African American Water Education Foundation (CAAWEF), in partnership with the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), is sponsoring a five-part series titled, “Is Your Water Safe to Drink.� Over the next two months, the series will examine and inform the African-American community about the current drinking water quality across our state. Community leaders, water quality experts and clean water advocates will offer their perspectives on the challenges to ensuring safe drinking water for all. In 2012, a California law declared that every person in the state has a right to clean, safe and afford-

able drinking water. Although that law did not appropriate any money or levy any taxes to fund its implementation, in 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 200, authored by Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel), to provide funding to achieve the goal of “safe drinking water in every California community and for every Californian.� The State Water Resources Control Board estimates that all drinking water funding sources combined will provide $496 million during the 2020-’21 fiscal year for drinking water solutions.

In this series, we hope to inform you about the water industry in California and about the safety of your water supply. Our goal is to motivate you to become engaged and active participants in influencing the decisions the state and companies make regarding the water you depend on to live and for so many other vital aspects of your life.

ORDINANCE NO. 2020-11 AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 3.59 TO TITLE 3 OF THE ALAMEDA COUNTY ORDINANCE CODE TO PROHIBIT THE SALE OF ELECTRONIC SMOKING DEVICES IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA THAT THE ALAMEDA COUNTY ORDINANCE CODE IS AMENDED AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1 Chapter 3.59 is added to Title 3 of the General Code of the County of Alameda, to read as follows: Chapter 3.59 - Prohibition on the Sale of Electronic Smoking Devices Section 3.59.005. Findings and Declaration The Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda ďŹ nds and declares that: A. Despite progress in reducing smoking, tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Tobacco kills more than 480,000 people in this country annually - more than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, illegal drugs, murder, and suicides combined. B. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates tobacco kills roughly 6 million people and causes over half a trillion dollars in economic damage each year. C. 5.6 million of today’s Americans who are younger than 18 are projected to die prematurely from a smoking-related illness. D. Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes) are the most commonly used tobacco product among youth in the United States: 1. Unlike traditional cigarette use that has steadily declined among youth, the U.S. has seen a surge in teen e-cigarettes use; in 2018, the Surgeon General issued an advisory on e-cigarette use among youth, declaring the growing problem an epidemic. 2. According to the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey, 5.3 million youth are current e-cigarette users in 2019 - an increase of over 3 million students since 2017. 3. Among U.S. high school students, e-cigarette use increased by 135 percent from 2017 to 2019, increasing from 11.7% to 27.5%; one in four U.S. high school students reported using e-cigarettes. Among middle school students, e-cigarette use more than tripled from 2017 to 2019, increasing from 3.3% to 10.5%. 4. In 2017 - 2018, over 1 in 4 (28%) San Lorenzo UniďŹ ed School District 11th graders and over 1 in 5 (21%) Castro Valley UniďŹ ed School District 11th graders reported using e-cigarettes. 5. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “The rise in e-cigarette use during 2017-2018 is likely because of the recent popularity of e-cigarettes shaped like a USB ash drive... these products can be used discreetly, have a high nicotine content, and come in avors that appeal to youths.â€? 6. In the U.S., adolescents are more likely than adults to use e-cigarettes. For every 1 adult smoker who switched to e-cigarettes, 80 youth initiate daily tobacco use through e-cigarettes. E. The widespread use of e-cigarettes by youth has signiďŹ cant public health consequences: 1. Mounting research shows that e-cigarettes are neither safe nor harmless: e-cigarette aerosol contains many of the same toxic chemicals found in cigarettes such as nicotine, formaldehyde and lead, which are known to cause cancer, birth defects and other health problems. The U.S. Surgeon General and CDC highlight that youth e-cigarette use can pose harm to respiratory health and brain development. 2. As stated by the U.S. Surgeon General, “Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine - the addictive drug in regular cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products. Nicotine exposure

during adolescence can harm the developing brain - which continues to develop until about age 25. Nicotine exposure during adolescence can impact learning, memory, and attention. Using nicotine in adolescence can also increase risk for future addiction to other drugs. In addition to nicotine, the aerosol that users inhale and exhale from e-cigarettes can potentially expose both themselves and bystanders, to other harmful substances, including heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and ultraďŹ ne particles that can be inhaled deeply into the lungs.â€? 3. The U.S. Surgeon General concluded: “The use of products containing nicotine poses dangers to youth, pregnant women, and fetuses. The use of products containing nicotine in any form among youth, including in e-cigarettes, is unsafe.â€? 4. Evidence from several longitudinal studies suggests that e-cigarette use is strongly associated with the use of other tobacco products among youth and young adults, including conventional cigarettes. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded in its 2018 report: “There is substantial evidence that e-cigarette use increases risk of ever using combustible tobacco cigarettes among youth and young adults.â€? 5. The 2018 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report concluded that “among youth and young adult e-cigarette users who ever used combustible tobacco cigarettes, there is moderate evidence that e-cigarette use increase the frequency and intensity of subsequent combustible tobacco cigarette smoking.â€? 6. In addition, there is a growing body of research concluding that there are signiďŹ cant health risks associated with e-cigarette use. For example, daily e-cigarette use is associated with increased odds of a heart attack. The American Lung Association has warned that the inhalation of harmful chemicals through vaping may cause irreversible lung damage and lung disease. 7. A December 2019 University of California San Francisco study found that people who smoke e-cigarettes face a signiďŹ cant risk of developing severe, chronic lung illnesses - such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema - that have long been associated with smoking combustible cigarettes. The study showed that people who use e-cigarettes in addition to smoking traditional tobacco triple their risk of chronic lung disease. 8. The California Department of Public Health issued a Health Advisory on November 5, 2019, informing the public about the imminent public health risks posed by vaping any product, including the use of e-cigarettes. 9. CDC continues to warn that any tobacco product use, including e-cigarettes, is unsafe, especially for youth, pregnant and breastfeeding women. F. Among high school students in all of Alameda County who purchased e-cigarettes, 69% reported buying them from the store themselves or from someone else; only 6.5% purchased online (2017-2018 California Student Tobacco Survey for Alameda County.) G. An April 2018 national survey of over 1,000 12 to 17-year-olds found that nearly three quarters (74%) of youth who used a particular brand of avor pods in the past 30 days reported that they obtained the device at a physical retain location; over half (52%) reported that they received the product from a social source, such as a friend or family member, while only 6% reported that they received the product through an online transaction. H. In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products issued more than 1,300 warning letters and ďŹ nes to tobacco retailers who illegally sold e-cigarette products to minors, including major national retail chains, tobacco specialty stores and online retailers. I. E-cigarettes are readily accessible in the unincorporated areas of Alameda County. In a 2019 observation survey of tobacco retailers within the unincorporated areas of Alameda County (n=72), 50% of stores surveyed sold avored electronic smoking devices. J. Marketing of e-cigarettes contributes to youth appeal: 1. The California Attorney General has stated the e-cigarette companies have targeted youth with their products. 2. E-cigarette companies have eectively used marketing strategies, including celebrity endorsements, slick magazine advertisements, social media campaigns, paid inuencers, and music sponsorships, to reach youth and young adults. A 2016 study found that 78.2% of middle and high school students - 20.5 million youth - had been exposed to e-cigarette advertisements from at least one source, an increase from 68.9% only two before, in 2014. 3. In 2019, the FDA warned a leading e-cigarette company for marketing unauthorized modiďŹ ed risk tobacco products, including claims to children and youth that e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes. 4. In 2017-2018, 44% of San Lorenzo UniďŹ ed School District 11th graders and 42% Castro Valley UniďŹ ed School District 11th graders perceived little to no harm in using e-cigarettes compared to smoking cigarettes. K. California law deďŹ nes tobacco products to include electronic smoking devices. No electronic smoking device is currently approved by the FDA as a smoking cessation product. L. To protect the public, especially youth, against the health risks created by tobacco products, Congress enacted the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (“Tobacco Control Actâ€?) in 2009. The Tobacco Control Act authorized the FDA to set national standards governing the manufacture of tobacco products, to limit levels of harmful components in tobacco products and to require manufacturers to disclose information and research relating to the products’ health eects. M. A central requirement of the Tobacco Control Acts is premarket review of all new tobacco products. SpeciďŹ cally, every “new tobacco productâ€? deďŹ ned to include any tobacco product not on the market in the U.S. as of February 15, 2007 must be authorized by the FDA for sale in the United States before it may enter the marketplace. A new tobacco product may not be marketed until the FDA has found that the product is: (1) appropriate for the protection of the public health upon review of a premarket tobacco application;
(2) substantially equivalent to a grandfathered product; or (3) exempt from substantial equivalence requirements. N. In determining whether the marketing of a tobacco product is appropriate for the protection of the public health, the FDA must consider the risks and beneďŹ ts of the product to the population as a whole, including users and nonusers of the product, and taking into account the increased or decreased likelihood that existing users of tobacco products will stop using tobacco products and the increased or decreased likelihood that those who do not use tobacco products will start using them. Where there is a lack of showing that permitting the sale of a tobacco product would be appropriate for the protection of the public health, the Tobacco Control Act requires that the FDA deny an application for premarket review. O. Virtually all e-cigarettes that are sold today entered the market after 2007, but have not been reviewed by the FDA to determine if they are appropriate for the public health. In May 2017, the FDA issued Guidance that, as a matter of the FDA’s enforcement discretion, purports to give e-cigarette manufacturers until August 8, 2022 to submit their application for premarket review of e-cigarettes that were on the market as of August 8, 2016. The Guidance further purports, as a matter of the FDA’s enforcement discretion, to allow unapproved products to stay on the market indeďŹ nitely, until such time as the FDA complies with its statutory duty to conduct a premarket review to determine whether a new tobacco product poses a risk to public health. In March 2019, the FDA issued Draft Guidance in which it considered moving the premarket application deadline up by one year for certain avored e-cigarette products. It is not known when, if ever, this narrow adjustment will become ďŹ nal or will take eect. P. The FDA has exercised its discretion to not initiate enforcement action for e-cigarettes that remain in the marketplace. Nevertheless, the Tobacco Control Act clearly requires every “new tobacco productâ€? - deďŹ ned to include any tobacco product not on the market in the U.S. as of February 15, 2007 - to be authorized by the FDA for sale in the United States before it may enter the marketplace. Therefore, given the enforcement void at the federal level and the major public health crisis stemming from the use of electronic smoking devices, particularly among youth, the County of Alameda deems it necessary and appropriate to adopt this Ordinance to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents. Section 3.59.010. Purpose and Intent It is the purpose and intent of the Board of Supervisors, in enacting this Chapter, to impose a Tobacco Retailing restriction by prohibiting the sale of Electronic Smoking Devises to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of residents within the unincorporated areas of the County of Alameda.

trict’s “budget crisis has been engineered for different political ends. This is all a part of an effort for other people to come into our school district and try to compel us to close our schools so the property can be sold off to charter schools and developers.” Post-endorsed candidate Molina in District 7 describes herself as someone who as a student, “attended Melrose Elementary School, Calvin Simmons Junior High School, and John C. Fremont High School. I come from a proud background of California pickers; my grandmother, father, aunt, and uncle worked in the fields of San Clemente and joined Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in the fight to get unionized. I was the first in the family to attend college at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB).” “Oakland public education needs less obscurity and more transparency. Families, teachers, students, and community stakeholders need to know how schools are spending and investing funds. School site parent-run organizations need to be provided with their school budget to see how the administration has expended every dollar of their child’s education,” she said. The Post also endorsed “Coach” Tapscott for District 7 school board. When the state took over the school district in 2003, the district was about $50 million in debt, he said. When the state receiver left, the district was $100 million in debt, an amount that still is not paid off. “If they generated that debt, they should pay for it,” Tapscott said. When they cut, they cut at the school sites, (but) we’re topheavy with upper and middle management. “I think there is a lot of waste going on,” he said “I think there
is a conspiracy, you have more privatization, keeping us in debt. The state controller, what is that person doing to monitor the money?” School board candidates and contact information District 1 • Austin Dannhaus; Austinforousd.com • Sam Davis; samdavisforoaklandschools.org • Stacy Thomas: stacyt@bayareabookkeepers.net District 3 • Maiya Edgerly; https://www.facebook.com/maiyaforoakland/ • Cherisse Gash; https://cherissegash.com • Mark Hurty; https://markforoakland.com • Maximo Santana; www.santanaforoakland2020.com • VanCedric Williams: http://www.vancedricwilliams.com District 5 • Mike Hutchinson; facebook.com/MikeHutchinson4SchoolBoard/posts/3366347680147982 • Leroy Gaines; https://www.leroygaines4oakland.net • Sheila Pope Lawrence; https://www.facebook.com/Sheila-Pope-Lawrence-for-OUSD-School-Board-Director-Area-5-104089071265774/ • Jorge Lerma; https://www.jorgeforoakland.com District 7 • Kristina Molina; http://votekristinamolina.com/donate/ • Ben Tapscott; coachtap@aol.com • Bronché Jerard Taylor; broncheworking@gmail.com • Clifford Thompson: https://clif4oaklandschools.org • Victor Valerio; https://www.facebook.com/OaklandValerio/

resulted in the creation of affordable housing. I co-sponsored an ordinance prohibiting consideration of criminal records of the formally incarcerated in rental housing applications. I secured over $1 million in various case settlements, during the pandemic to protect tenants. Parker on Climate Change I have not shied away from suing -and will continue to go after multinational corporations for damaging our environment such as Monsanto for contaminating waterways across the country with toxic chemicals. I am prosecuting a public nuisance lawsuit against companies such as Chevron and Exxon Mobil, for their role in global warming. I successfully sued a company for discharging massive amounts of dangerous dust potentially containing asbestos or other hazardous materials into West Oakland neighborhoods and the City’s storm water system. I continue the fight to stop handling and storage of coal at the former Oakland Army Base. Parker on Predatory Lending Practices I filed a lawsuit against Wells Fargo for predatory and racially discriminatory mortgage-lending practices against African American and Latinx borrowers in violation
of the federal Fair Housing Act. The federal Court of Appeals recently upheld Oakland’s right to proceed with our lawsuit that seeks to stop these predatory practices and to compensate Oakland for lost property taxes and other damages the City suffered as a result of the foreclosure crisis that resulted in part due to predatory lending practices. For more information go to http://www.parkerforoakland.com Ferran on Housing/ Homelessness Due to discriminatory lending and housing practices, those who inherit property are unable to benefit from an increase in equity that would allow them to maintain the property. About 70% of homeless people in Oakland are Black residents, and we must work with the unhoused community, homeless advocates, City staff, and councilmembers to provide real solutions. As City Attorney, I will work with councilmembers and City staff to make sure these policies are legal and enforced. We must also call on Alameda County to play a great role in providing mental health and housing solutions. The housing affordability crisis that requires regional and state-wide cooperation and solutions. As City At-
torney, I would encourage the City Council to encourage homeownership within Oakland by: (1) Establishing a dedicated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) attorney within the City Attorney’s Office; (2) Recommending amendments to the California Building Standards Code to the Building Standards Commission; (3) Reviewing and updating regulations affecting the Planning and Building Dept.; (4) Creating and implementing a faster Planning and Building Dept. permit process; (5) Streamlining the process for building accessory dwelling units (ADU’s); and by (6) Effective use of state density bonus rules for new housing. Ferran on Climate Change With the COVID 19 pandemic that is disproportionately hurting low-income communities of color, we are seeing the devastating consequence of climate change right before our eyes. I am running for Oakland City Attorney because I believe that we cannot sit idly by when corporations are diminishing the air quality. We must hold industrial polluters accountable. I will enforce the City’s Equitable Climate Action Plan (ECAP) and focus on creating good green jobs. I will be a visible, proactive, and progressive City Attorney, who will
work to expand our capacity to be more responsive to the needs of our communities, especially those victimized by environmental racism. Ferran on Predatory Lending Practices Housing is arguably the greatest civil rights issue of our time. Historically, the government has instituted barriers to homeownership and tenancy for Black families. Neighborhood associations, landlords and financial institutions have all played a role, by promoting racial laws and policies that discriminate against Black and brown homeowners seeking mortgage loans. The economic outcome of this pandemic is not certain so we must be pro-active and implement policies to prevent the same devastating effects to the Black community that occurred in the last subprime mortgage crisis. We must make it easier, not harder, to build more affordable housing. While being mindful of development’s impact on historically Black and Brown neighborhoods, which through the years have faced increasing gentrification, further displacing working-class people of color out of Oakland, I will work to involve community leaders and housing advocates can participate in the process.

urology and volunteers at the Berkeley Free Clinics. She puts high value on supporting teachers and education. She wants to decriminalize homelessness, sex work and drugs as she says on her website all three disproportionately affect people of color and create a revolving door of criminalization. Since 80% of calls to OPD are non-violent, Lopez-Meraz says reinvesting into the community from the money saved in the 50% decrease in OPD’s budget would make sense. She sees a great need for addressing mental health in the community so that police are not the first responders to mental health crises. On sheltering and housing issues, Lopez-Meraz holds a
Richard Santos Raya Long-time Bay Area resident
Richard Santos Raya has a background as a classroom educator and lawyer. He says he wants to connect with those who are looking to work on labor, racial, housing and economic justice. Regarding OPD, Raya says one of the first things that can be done is to curb police spending and police injustice is to address rampant overtime funding. A huge drain on city coffers, it also incentivizes police to make arrests near the end of their shift in order to rack up overtime pay. He also says malpractice or brutality cases should not be paid out of taxpayer money, instead possibly from the police pension fund. On homelessness, Raya says that in addition to the construction that has already been un-
dertaken and Tuff sheds, he believes Oakland needs to convert existing housing to deeply affordable housing. He says there should be a partnership with local land trusts and recommends removing housing from the unstable, untenable rental market into a more sustainable holding pattern. Small landlords need incentives to maintain their housing at below affordable rates. Raya does not support a new ballpark at the Oakland Port. He wants to keep the public land at Oakland Coliseum and says it’s important to retain the Oakland A’s at that site.

policies that are currently exercised by the federal judge that oversees the OPD—even after that federal oversight is done. 5. Allows the Commission to discipline officers if an investigation of misconduct
has gone on too long or doesn’t include body worn camera footage. The Police Commission’s accomplishments so far have been the work of volunteers, hobbled by many unmet needs.

straight-forward stance. If it’s vacant, take the property, repurpose vacant lots, warehouses, empty hotel rooms and vacant units using state emergency funding that is already available. She said the city creates policies with no real plan for execution. Lopez-Meraz does not support the project proposed to build 3,000 units of high-end housing and a ballpark on the Oakland Port property. She thinks more support should be placed in existing infrastructure and more should be done to boost business in East Oakland.

have the available warehouses zoned for light industrial which can be used for investments in creating local new jobs.“ For more information on Clay’s campaign, contact www. clay4d7.com. Bishop Robert (Bob) Jackson
Pastor of Acts Full Gospel Church in Oakland for more than 36 years, Jackson stressed his ideas for District 7 are based on what he has already been doing. “I have lived in East Oakland for more than 43 years working for the betterment of the community,” said Jackson. “I started the Men of Valor Academy which has helped thousands of formerly incarcerated men become successful and away from crime.” “I started the OK Program for boys 12 to18 years old; a food program, which feeds 300 individuals each week; the Acts Community Development Corporation, and the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce.” “First and foremost, I believe City Hall should address the issue of blight and illegal dumping in our community,” said Jackson. “The trash, debris and garbage in this community have been neglected far too long. It’s like a Third World country out here and the problem needs to be abated now. “I will also address the ‘drug stores’ we have in the community. I’m not talking about Walgreens or CVS; I’m talking about the young men who are selling drugs on our corners and streets. We need more police presence in our community to address these types of problems and we need faster response times from the police instead of two or three days later. The safety of our community is paramount.” To learn more about Bishop Jackson’s campaign, visit www. jacksonforeastoakland.com. Marchon Tatmon Government Affairs manager for the San Francisco Marin Food Bank, Tatmon said that there are a multitude of important issues facing resdients in District 7 and Oakland. Regarding COVID-19 Tatmon said, “In the midst of all of this, residents have also had to deal with finding and acquiring affordable housing; pushing for police reform; obtaining employment and sustaining equitable economic development,” said Tatmon. “I used to house our homeless neighbors and ran a winter shelter program,” Tatmon said. “I know what the unhoused people in this city have to go through. We need to find housing for the 4,000+ people who are currently living on the streets.” “We will also need to work with developers to ensure there’s enough affordable housing being constructed. There needs to be a healthy stock of affordable housing, while also providing wraparound services including mental health, drug addiction and information on financial literacy.” Tatmon also believes there needs to be a focus on police reform. “The Police Dept. needs to be defunded and the budget should be scrutinized by every line item so we can know where to pull monies from,” said Tatmon. “Presently, more that 20% of the city’s budget goes to the police but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s helping to reduce crime.” For more information on the Tatmon campaign, contact votemarchon@gmail.com. Marcie Hodge A former two-term Peralta Community College Trustee, and current executive director of the nonprofit, St. John’s Boys Home and St John Corinthian Care, Marcie Hodge noted that District 7 needs new leadership. “I’m in the residential care business and many residential program owners like me want to expand their businesses because we are interested in serving different populations,” said Hodge. “The unhoused includes many subgroups that must be considered for intensive support. We have a large population of individuals who have been released from state hospitals and many of them have mental disorders and need medical support.” “When elected as District 7’s City Council person, my first priority is to address the issue of blight,” said Hodge. “We need to clean up the streets and identify areas that are frequently used as dumping grounds. The issue of dumping needs to be eradicated and cameras should be installed”. “District 7 (residents) deserve to have an ability to work and play in a community where we don’t have to worry about always looking over our shoulder. I want our community to thrive.” For more information about the Hodge campaign, go to www. hodge4oakland2020.com.
