Arena Dubbed to be a Nov.3 Voting Location

Alameda County voters can cast their ballot or drop off a completed ballot from Oct. 31-Nov. 3

By ACGOV.News

The Oakland Athletics and Alameda County announced that the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena will serve as an Accessible Voting Location (AVL) in the 2020 General Election.

Alameda County voters can cast their ballot at the Coliseum site beginning Saturday, Oct. 31 through Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 3. In addition to in-person voting in the Oakland Arena, the Coliseum site will offer Will Call voting, curbside voting, and drive-thru drop stops for those who prefer to drop off their completed, signed and sealed mail-in ballot.

Voting will be safe and convenient. The Coliseum AVL will follow all CDC and public

California Gov. Newsom Signs Reparations Bill Into Law Senator Skinner Recommends

By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed the state’s historic reparations bill into law. Assembly Bill (AB) 3121, authored by Assemblymember Shirley Weber (DSan Diego), who is chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, moves descendants of enslaved Americans one step closer to getting restitution for centuries of free labor and legal discrimination that followed it, supporters say.

But Black Californians who may qualify for reparations payments, should not expect a check any time soon for the ills of slavery. AB 3121, titled “The Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans,” would create a nine-member

West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (WOEIP) to Receive $180,000 Grant From San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority

By Kiki

The Shoreline Leadership Academy via the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (WOEIP) is poised to receive up to $180,000 from the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority.

Staff’s recommendation for the grant will be voted on by the Board virtually on Oct. 2, 2020.

In the history of the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority, the board has always voted in favor of the staff recommendations.

The San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority allocates funds for shoreline restoration projects raised by 2016’s Measure AA parcel tax.

Margaret Gordon

The Shoreline Leadership Academy “will educate a cohort of local residents about environmental and social issues along the Oakland shoreline and host a community-led planning process in which the cohort of residents will help to develop shoreline restoration projects in Alameda

County.”

Co-founded by and is codirected by Margaret Gordon, WOEIP is a “resident-led, community-based environmental justice organization dedicated to achieving healthy homes, healthy jobs, and healthy neighborhoods for all who live, work, learn and play in West Oakland.

WOEIP previously hosted a similar program that educated participants on topics related to air pollution and air quality regulation, and how to advocate successfully for community health.

WOEIP has decades of experience advocating for environmental justice for local communities, and the Shoreline Leadership Academy project has support from community representatives

who participated in the East Oakland Neighborhood Initiative and helped develop the Oakland Equitable Climate Action Plan.”

The Shoreline Leadership Academy will be a six-month program, with participants meeting two days a month – one day consisting of educational training, and the second day consisting of community planning. The outcome of this training will be the creation of community-led, implementable shoreline restoration projects.

“The overall project has the following objectives: • Recruit a cohort of 18 residents from economically disadvantaged communities living on or near the shoreline in Oakland to participate in the Shoreline Leadership Academy, ” the web site says.

an Early Voting Strategy

From Senator Skinner’s Office

This year, for the first time, all registered voters in California will receive a ballot in the mail. Unlike past years when vote-by-mail ballots had to be requested, this year every voter will get a ballot delivered to our mailbox. Expect to receive your ballot soon, because our county election officials will be mailing out ballots beginning today Senator Skinner announced that ballots are being mailed starting Thursday, Oct. 1 to keep residents safe and minimize the spread of COVID-19.

She said eligible voters can vote as soon as they receive their ballot.

Just fill it out, using blue or black ink, and put it in the return envelope.

Be sure to sign your name on the back and seal the envelope.

Then put it in the mailbox.

No stamps are necessary.

If you choose not to mail in your ballot through the U.S. Postal Service, you can: Drop off your completed, signed ballot at one of the official drop box locations.

For a list of Alameda County locations visit: https://www. acgov.org/rovapps/maps/ballotdropbox_map.htm You can also drop off your ballot at any polling place on Election Day Skinner says it’s a good idea to fill out your ballot early and mail it or drop it off in one of the official drop boxes. Getting your ballot in early will ensure

Senator Nancy Skinner

that your ballot is among those counted by Election Night.

If you haven’t registered to vote yet, or you have moved, it is not too late to register! You can register to vote at https:// www.acgov.org/rovapps/maps/ ballotdropbox_map.htm.

If you are newly registering, the deadline to register online is Oct. 19, but you can register in person through Election Day. If you just need to change your address or want to check your registration status, visit: ttps:// voterstatus.sos.ca.gov As our county elections officials have advised, it is safer and more convenient to complete your ballot in advance and mail it or drop it into one of the official drop boxes. However, if you really prefer to vote in person, please do not discard your mail-in ballot. Instead, bring it with you to your polling station on Election Day, Nov. 3. Bringing your ballot with you to your polling place will show that you have not yet voted and will make it easier for you to vote in person.

Learning Black History Year-Round

Dr. George Grant Teeing Up for Golf

Harpist Destiny Muhammad Expands Horizons With OAACC Relief Grant From OAACC

Earlier this month, the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce announced the distribution of funds under its Resiliency Relief Grant program for Black businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

OAACC asked recipients to

share their experiences.

Destiny Muhammad, whose company, Harpist from the ’Hood, stopped immediately because of the shutdown, said the grant came “right on time. During this time of COVID-19/ Shelter in Place, the OAACC Grant assisted me in securing some much needed education and software necessary to

provide virtual music experiences to longstanding and new clientele, upgrade my composition skills and begin learning the art of Content Creation and Curation.

Muhammad says her company creates and curates jazz and jazz-inspired content for live and virtual experiences. “We also are available for virtual and onsite recording sessions, collaborations and private engagements.”

Always upbeat, the harpist describes her current situation via text as “unapologetically GRATEFUL! Health is great and the lights are still on! (LOL) When COVID hit, all of our contracted events were canceled. Now we’re beginning to receive calls and e-mails to do virtual events and pre-record content for semi-live events.”

To upgrade her services she has previously been providing, she is enrolled in subscription-based technology workshops so she can better serve her clients with ondemand, pre-recorded videos.

Most recently, she completed and received a Certificate of Attendance from the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz Webinar Series’ With those improvements she can “continue to stay relevant with my clientele, continue to provide excellent service that is engaging, inspiring and adds value to their brands.”

We have great memories when we think of golf.

The young Tiger Woods coming on the scene as the youngest and only Black golfer to break most of golf’s recorded victories. And, Charlie Sifford, the first African American pro golfer to play in the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA).

However, one of the most notable accomplishments in golf for an African American is the golf tee created by African American, Dr. George Franklin Grant.

Imagine having to carry around dirt so that before you hit the ball you had to prepare a small mound of dirt to elevate it. Not a pleasing thought. You can thank Grant for that innovative idea.

George Franklin Grant was born in Oswego, N.Y., in 1847.

After a dispute with his father, he left home. However, this would prove to be the move that would catapult his life towards success. His dental career began by running errands and addicting a dentist in his hometown.

Wanting more in life, Grant chose Boston as his next destination. At age 21 he enrolled in Harvard Dental School, the first university-based dental program in the nation. Grant graduated with honors in 1870

Dr. George Franklin Grant. Photo courtesy of twitter.com

making him the second African American to earn a degree in dentistry.

He was hired by the Harvard Dental School, and this would be where his innovative skills would evolve. He received international acclaim for the development of inserts for patients with cleft palates.

His next move was opening his own dental practice.

Grant loved to play golf and his daughter Frances would caddie for him at times. He lived and played in the Boston suburb of Arlington Heights, where he built a meadow course next to his country home. As much as he loved playing golf, he hated the messy and unsanitary process of teeing up the

ball by pinching moist sand to make a tee. Doing that 18 times every time he played was annoying enough for him to come up with an invention that would forever have an impact on the game.

On Dec. 12, 1899, Grant received a U.S. patent No. 638,920, the world’s first patent for a golf tee – a wooden spike with a flexible rubber peg for the ball. Because his invention only reached a small audience, it would be decades before he was recognized for it. In 1991, nearly a century after his patent, the United States Golf Association finally gave Grant recognition for his contribution to the game of golf.

Alameda County Launches Online Portal Designed Specifically for Older Adults

The Age Friendly Council is a cross-sector group that includes community partners, advocacy and stakeholder groups, and County staff who bring a coordinated approach to policy and system changes that will enhance the overall well-being of older adults living in Alameda County.

Polls in the Pandemic: What Every California Voter Should Know Before Election Day

By Quinci LeGardye, California Black Media

This November’s general election is set to be historic and not just because of the presidential race at a time when the American electorate is unusually polarized.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous changes have been made to the voting process. Mail-in ballots are available for all California voters for the first time in history, and the state has also pledged to make safe in-person voting available.

In a press conference earlier this month with Ethnic Media Services, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla spoke about the state’s new voting procedures, and how his office is working to ensure that all communities are able to vote safely.

“In my role as Secretary of State, I also serve as California’s Chief Elections Officer.

We work in partnership with all 58 counties in California to administer elections. Usually, we want to make sure elections are accessible and secure. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, we also need to make sure that the voting experience is one that is safe and protects health for both the voters and election workers,” Padilla said.

Eligible Californians can register to vote online up until the deadline of Oct. 19, 2020.

After that date, the only option is same-day voter registration in person, either during early voting or on Election Day. Voters who use same-day voter registration receive provisional ballots so they can still vote in the election.

verify their registration status.

The simple act of verifying your registration status will ensure that you are an active registered voter and will receive your ballot this November.”

This year, every registered voter will be sent a vote-bymail ballot, and all ballots postmarked by Election Day -- and received within 17 days following Election Day -- will be counted. The ballots will be sent out starting the first week of October. Voters who want to drop California Secretary of off their ballot in-person can do State Alex Padilla.

from COVID-19. The guidance asks voters to wear a face mask, bring a pen to avoid touching high-contact surfaces, use hand sanitizer after touching doors or voting equipment, and keep a distance of two- arms’ length from other people.

Though the state is encouraging voters to vote by mail, Padilla acknowledged that some voters will prefer to go in person, possibly to receive help voting or to use accessible voting machines. Padilla’s recommendation is to vote as early as possible, in order to avoid any delays.

“We encourage people to go the first day that in-person voting is available. Yes, you have until Tuesday, November 3, but the more people that we can encourage to vote early, whether it’s by mail or in person, we hope helps keep the lines shorter on Election Day, making that a safer experience for voters and poll workers alike,” Padilla said.

The official websites for checking voter status, registering to vote and tracking ballots are VoterStatus.sos.ca.gov and WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov

Bill Would Allow Real-World Test of Mental Health Alternative to Policing

By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media

In the wake of recent calls to shift responsibility for nonviolent intervention away from police departments, lawmakers and community advocates around California are calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign AB 2054, also known as the CRISES Act. CRISES is an acronym for Community Response Initia-

tive to Strengthen Emergency Systems.

AB 2054 calls for the authorization of a pilot grant program that would allow community-based organizations instead of the police to respond in emergency situations, including incidents requiring mental health intervention, which often involve people experiencing homelessness.

Free, Rapid Result COVID-19 Tests Coming to Oakland International Airport Results will be available on the spot or through CityHealth’s web portal. CityHealth is HIPPA complaint, airport officials said.

“The Port of Oakland is everyone’s port and OAK has been the people’s airport since 1927,” Bryant Francis, Port of Oakland director of aviation, said in a statement.

All Oakland airport employees including tenant airlines,

concessionaires and ground handlers, can be tested. The public can also get tested by scheduling a time through CityHealth’s website at https:// bayareacovid19testing.com.

People who present a current, official Oakland International Airport security credential can get tested from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily by appointment.

Oakland airport officials encourage travelers planning to

go to Hawaii under the state’s pre-travel testing program to use the free rapid-result testing at Oakland International before their trip.

Under the program, which begins Oct. 15, travelers who enter Hawaii and provide written proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of their final leg of departure will not have to quarantine for 14 days when they arrive.

Black Caucus Member Concerned About How Much Ban of Gas-Powered Cars Will Cost Low Income Families

By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media

Assemblymember Jim Cooper (D-Sacramento), who is a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus, says he supports Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order issued last week that phases out gasoline-powered vehicles.

The directive requires all new passenger vehicles sold in California to have zero-emission engines by the year 2035.

But Cooper, who is the chair of the Assembly’s Budget Subcommittee No. 4 on State Administration, has some concerns about how the mandate will affect low-income families.

Newsom says his vision is to replace gasoline-powered vehicles with electric vehicles (EV) on California’s highways and surface roads.

“The EVs pictured in today’s signing of the EO (executive order) cost more than $50k each. How will my constituents afford an EV? They can’t. They currently drive 11-year-old vehicles,” Cooper tweeted on Sept. 23.

To comply with the governor’s executive order, the Air Resources Board is also expected to develop regulations to mandate that all operations of medium and heavy-duty vehicles be 100% zero-emission by 2045, where feasible.

Trucks that tow freight will have to become compliant by 2035.

Recently, Cooper, who represents California’s 9th Assembly District, wrote a two-page letter to leaders of

Assemblymember Jim Cooper, (D-Elk Grove).

environmental organizations, calling out racism and the lack of diversity.

Prominent environmental organizations in the state, including the Sierra Club California (SCC), the California League of Conservation Voters (CLCV), the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and Environment California, “from their leaders to their funders, are nearly all white,” Cooper said. “(And they) attempt to trade on race issues by branding their efforts as: ‘environmental justice’ — for which they do not apologize,” Cooper wrote in the letter dated Aug. 3.

Now, the assemblymember is directing his concern to the high costs of EVs and how their unaffordability will be a burden to lower-income, workingclass Californians.

“I, too, believe we must cut emissions to combat climate change. That’s why I’ve run bills to increase rebates for low-income residents to buy EV’s. But we know @AirRe-

sources regs benefit the welloff, not my constituents,” Cooper tweeted.

Newsom’s said his action will “aggressively” move the state further away from its dependence on climate changecausing fossil fuels and, at the same time, retain and create jobs, which will spur economic growth.

The transportation industry is responsible for more than half of all of California’s carbon pollution, 80% of smog-forming pollution, and 95% of toxic diesel emissions. Communities in the Los Angeles Basin and Central Valley see some of the dirtiest and most toxic air in the country, the governor pointed out in a written statement.

“This is the most impactful step our state can take to fight climate change,” Newsom said. “For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe. Californians shouldn’t have to worry if our cars are giving our kids asthma.

Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse -- and create more days filled with smoky air. Cars shouldn’t melt glaciers or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines.”

In February 2019, the energy foundation reported that the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) quantified Californians’ exposure to dangerous air pollution.

UCS’s findings revealed that particulate matter, known as PM2.5, disproportionately affects people of color and low-income communities in California. PM2.5 is created by automobiles, trucks, and buses.

African Americans are, on average, exposed to 18% higher PM2.5 concentrations than the average Californian, the report stated. White Californians have an average exposure that is 17% percent lower than the average for the state.

“Exposure to PM2.5 (particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) is linked to increased illness and death, primarily from heart and lung diseases,” the Energy Foundation reported. “These particles are small - 20 times smaller than the diameter of fine human hair - so they can penetrate deeply in the lungs, and the smallest particles can even enter into the bloodstream.”

The governor’s executive order also sets new health and safety standards that protect workers and communities from the impacts of oil extraction.

However, it does not prevent Californians from owning gasoline-powered cars or selling them on the used car market, Newsom says.

By the time the new rule goes into effect, zero-emission vehicles, the governor’s office stated, will almost certainly be cheaper and better than the fossil fuel-powered cars that dominate roadways now.

The upfront cost of electric vehicles are projected to reach parity with conventional vehicles within a few years, and the cost of owning the car – both in maintenance and how much it costs to power the car mile for a mile – is far less than a fossilfuel burning vehicle, the governor’s office stated.

public welfare and safeguarding jobs and economic vitality within the unincorporated County, while also preventing further spread of the virus; and The adoption of this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety. Social distancing and stay-at-home orders are expected to remain in force for the foreseeable future, threatening loss of employment to more residents and loss of income; and This ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment) and pursuant to Section 15378, which defines a “project” under CEQA (the ordinance is not a “project” because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment). SECTION II The Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda ordains as follows: The uncodified Alameda County Ordinance Code is hereby amended to add the following urgency ordinance: A TEMPORARY LIMIT ON CHARGES BY THIRD-PARTY FOOD DELIVERY SERVICES Definitions. For purposes of this order, the following definitions apply: “Covered Establishment” means a restaurant, delicatessen, bakery, coffee shop, or other eat-in or carry-out service of processed or prepared and readyto-eat food or beverages that offers, in a single commercial transaction over the internet, whether directly or through a Third-Party Food Delivery Service, the sale and same-day delivery of food to customers from one or more retail locations within the unincorporated area of Alameda County.

“Online Order” means an order placed by a customer through a platform provided by a ThirdParty Food Delivery Service for delivery or pickup within the unincorporated area of Alameda County. “Purchase Price” means the menu price of an online order minus any applicable coupon or promotional discount provided to the customer by the Covered Establishment through the ThirdParty Food Delivery Service. Such term excludes taxes, gratuities and any other fees that may make up the total cost to the customer of an online order. “Third-Party Food Delivery Service” means any website, mobile application or other internet service that offers or arranges for the sale of food and beverages prepared by, and the same-day delivery or sameday pickup of food and beverages from a Covered Establishment.

Prohibitions. It shall be unlawful for a Third-Party Food Delivery Service to charge a Covered Establishment a fee per online order for the use of its services that totals more than fifteen percent (15%) of the purchase price of such online order. It shall be unlawful for a Third-Party Food Delivery Service to charge a customer any Purchase Price for a food or beverage item that is higher than the price set by the Covered Establishment on the Third-Party Food Delivery Service or, if no price is set by the Covered Establishment on the Third-Party Food Delivery Service, the price listed on the Covered Establishment’s own menu. It shall be unlawful for a Third-Party Food Delivery Service to retain any portion of amounts designated as a tip or gratuity.

Any tip or gratuity shall be paid by the Third-Party Delivery Service, in its entirety, to the person delivering the food or beverages.

Documentation. Each receipt generated by the Third-Party Food Delivery Service for either the customer or the Covered Establishment shall clearly state the fees charged, the gratuities paid and any discounts offered by the Covered Establishment.

Excess Charge. If a Third-Party Food Delivery Service charges a Covered Establishment fees that violate this ordinance, the Covered Establishment shall provide written notice to the Third-Party Food Delivery Service requesting a refund and that the refund be paid within seven (7) calendar days of the written notice. If the Third-Party Food Delivery Service does not provide the refund requested after seven days or the Third-Party Food Delivery Service continues to charge fees in violation of this ordinance after the initial notice and seven-day cure period, a Covered Establishment may enforce this ordinance by means of a civil action seeking damages and injunctive relief. Enforcement . A violation of this ordinance shall subject the violator to the following: An action in the Superior Court of the State of California to recover all actual damages resulting from such violation. Reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by a court to a plaintiff that prevails in an action against a Third-Party Food Delivery Service. If plaintiff fails to prevail against a ThirdParty Food Delivery Service, a court may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the Third-Party Food Delivery Service upon a determination by the court that the plaintiff’s action was frivolous. A civil action alleging a violation of any provision of this ordinance shall commence only after the following requirements have been met: Written notice is provided to the Third-Party Food Delivery Service of the provisions of the article alleged to have been violated and the facts to support the alleged violation; and The Third-Party Food Delivery Service is provided seven (7) calendar days from the date of the written notice to cure any alleged violation. Duration.

This ordinance shall be in effect until (a) sixty days after the County of Alameda Local Health Emergency is lifted or (b) the Board of Supervisors otherwise terminates this ordinance. For purposes of clarity, restoration of indoor dining at restaurants in the unincorporated area of the County does not terminate the prohibitions in this ordinance.

Limitations. This ordinance is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or benefits, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the County of Alameda, its departments, officers, or employees. SECTION III Pursuant to Government Code Section 25123, subdivision (d), this measure is declared to be an urgency ordinance, to take effect and be in force immediately upon its passage and before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after its passage it shall be published once with the names of the members voting for an against the same in the Inter-City Express, a newspaper published

The Board of Supervisors hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each and every subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof not declared invalid or unconstitutional, without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.

ORDINANCE NO. O-2020-49 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY LIMIT OF FIFTEEN PERCENT (15%) ON CHARGES BY THIRDPARTY FOOD DELIVERY SERVICES TO RESTAURANTS IN UNINCORPORATED ALAMEDA COUNTY DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS SECTION I In enacting this ordinance, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda, State of California makes the following findings: On March 1, 2020, County of Alameda Interim Health Officer (“Health Officer”) declared a local health emergency due to the threat posed by a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and on March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency to exist within the State due to the threat posed

by COVID-19; and On March 5, 2020, the Health Officer renewed the declaration of a local health emergency due to COVID-19 and on March 10, 2020, this Board adopted a Resolution ratifying the Declaration of a Local Health Emergency related to COVID-19; and On March 16, 2020, the Health Officer issued an emergency order directing all individuals living in the County to shelter at their place of residence except for certain essential services and activities effective on March 17, 2020, which was extended through multiple orders including and order issued on May 18, 2020 that the shelter in place continue in effect until it is rescinded, superseded, or amended in writing by the Health Officer (collectively, together with any extensions, the Shelter in Place Order); and The Shelter in Place Order during this emergency has been issued because of the propensity of the virus to spread person-toperson. To reduce the spread of the virus and protect the public health, the Shelter in Place Order currently prohibits restaurants throughout the County from offering dine-in service; and Restricting restaurants to takeout and delivery offerings, with limited outdoor dining and decreased capacity, has placed a sudden and severe financial strain on many restaurants, particularly those that are small businesses operating on thin margins, adding to financial pressures in the industry that predate the COVID-19 crisis; and It is in the public interest to take immediate action to maximize restaurant revenue from takeout and delivery orders that, with the exception of limited dining options, are currently one of the primary sources of revenue for these businesses to enable restaurants to survive this crisis and remain as sources of employment and neighborhood vitality in the unincorporated area of the County; and As restaurants return to modified, lower capacity restaurant service, it is unclear how restaurants will fare, as restaurants must create new, physically distanced dining areas and implement increased training and sanitation measures.

It is also unclear how quickly restaurant patrons will return to on-site restaurant dining and restaurants may continue to see a significant loss of revenue for an ongoing period of time; and Many consumers use third-party applications and websites to place orders with restaurants for delivery and takeout, and these third-party platforms charge restaurants fees; many third party delivery service platforms have increased the fees they are charging during the Shelter in Place Orders, resulting in restaurants paying higher perorder fees; and Restaurants, and particularly restaurants that are small businesses with few locations, have limited bargaining power to negotiate lower fees with third-party platforms particularly with the additional financial stress brough by COVID-19; and Capping the per-order fees at fifteen percent (15%) will accomplish the legitimate public purpose of easing the financial burden on struggling restaurants during this crisis while not unduly burdening third-party platforms; and Limiting the perorder fees at fifteen percent 15% will accomplish the legitimate public purpose of safeguarding the continued operation of local restaurants during the period of emergency, the limit is consistent with similar fee limits other California cities and counties that have already adopted as reasonable emergency regulations; and The 15% limit is temporary in nature and only intended to promote stability and safe and healthy operations within the restaurant industry during the COVID-19 crisis, and to prevent avoidable business closures thereby serving the public peace, health, safety, and

Alameda County Launches Online Portal Designed Specifically for Older Adults Continued from page 2

fosters healthy aging. “Connecting seniors with the services they may need is more critical than ever during the COVID-19 emergency,� said Lori Cox, director of the SSA. “What this site also does is connect seniors with information and opportunities to take action and contribute their talents, which benefits the whole community.�

The website follows industry standard accessibility guidelines and offers: * A central portal for resources available to Alameda County’s older adults and their caregivers * Information about Countywide age-friendly efforts, like the Age-Friendly Council,

city-specific services and updates from the World Health Organization/AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities and the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) * Policy and planning resources including current data relevant to older adults, reports, and in-depth issue guides on special topics * Volunteer opportunities * COVID-19 resources for older adults... and more “Alameda County has proudly joined the World Health Organization’s global network of age-friendly communities. This website helps to make that vision a reality, said Colleen Chawla, director of the HCSA. The Age-Friendly County

website provides residents with easy and user-friendly access to the support services they need. Alameda County’s efforts to improve the County’s livability for people of all ages, while maintaining a specific focus on information that impacts older adults’ lives, was the driving force behind the site’s creation.

The County welcomes residents of all ages to visit agefriendly.acgov.org for themselves or for the older adults in their lives who may benefit from the information and resources provided on the site.

Sylvia Soublet is the Public Affairs Director for the Alameda County Social Services Agency.

only 11 seconds long before she was shot 11 times. “That law enforcement agency didn’t show up to serve and protect that day. That law enforcement agency showed up and murdered my mother, who was in a mental health crisis. They took one look at her, put up a bias, and said this woman is a threat to society and it’s my call to kill her,�

McKelvie said.

Advocates also spoke about the community groups that have already been providing human crisis response in the state, such as Mental Health First in Sacramento, and their need for more funding. “This is community response to community crisis, and we are already doing this.

We are on the ground. There are grassroots organizations like my own, but we are running these programs on shoestring budgets, out of the generous hearts of volunteers, because we’re clear that we’re tired of our community members dying,� said Cat Brooks, co-founder of the Anti PoliceTerror Project.

Lateefah Simon, Bay Area Rapid Transportation (BART) Board Director echoed that the community groups already doing the work need more funding. “AB 2054 is truly a love letter to possibility, an idea that

communities can keep one another safe. That local community-based organizations and trained professionals in selected communities, if given the resources and the opportunity, can become an additional force to create safety,� she said.

Gov. Newsom has until Sept. 30 to sign AB 2054, and other bills the State Legislature has passed this year. If not, they automatically become law.

OWH Studios Reopens to Train Videographers Thanks to OAACC Resilience Relief Grant

By Bishop J.E.Watkins

It is obvious in this day and time that anyone with a phone can make a video. But, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so easy to parlay that ability into a viable job or career.

And thanks to the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce Resiliency Relief Grant, OWH Studios, Inc., will be able to continue its Television/Broadcast Digital Arts Media Training Program for at-risk students, young adults, returning veterans and senior citizens provides access to state-of-the-art, professionalgrade video recording equipment, which has lead participants to viable employment.

Non-profits such as OWH Studios are important to the community that fills a void as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;quiet-stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that makes a difference in all lives.

But all of that came to a screeching halt in March with the shelter-in-place order brought on by COVID-19.

Since then, all scheduled video/communication had to be cancelled. Studio rental was prevented due to distancing and SIP requirements.

OWH STUDIOS INC. is grateful to have been a recipient of the OAACC Resiliency Relief Grant. This award helped tremendously to sustain their overhead and infrastructure and provide breathing room to restructure their programs and move forward in compliance with rules and regulations as a result of this last six months pandemic culture.

The program was founded

by Bishop J.E. Watkins in 2006 and relocated to the National Historic Landmark Liberty Hall/Marcus Garvey Building in 2009. Erected in 1877 and located in West Oakland at 1483-85 8th St., it has been the home of several historic organizations, such as the Black Panther Party, The Black Pullman Porters, and USO to Black Servicemen during WWII and the Korean Conflict.

KPFA Presents Webinar Featuring Frank Wilderson, Author of Widely Acclaimed Book ‘Afropessimism’

By Ken Preston

Hosted by Davey D, KPFA Radio 94.1 FM will present an Eventbrite webinar called “Afropessimism” featuring author and professor Frank Wilderson III on Oct. 6, 2020, at 7:00 p.m.

In the tradition of Edward Said’s “Orientalism” and Franz Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks,” Wilderson’s “Afropessimism” is a brilliant account of the experience of being Black.

The Black radical tradition has drawn upon the term as a way to acknowledge the power, depth, and vitality of the resilience and radical imagination of people of African descent.

A seminal work that strikingly combines groundbreaking philosophy with searing flights of memoir, Afropessimism presents the dynamic principles of an increasingly influential Intellectual movement that theorizes blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery.

Rather than interpreting slavery through a Marxist framework of class oppression, Wilderson demonstrates that the social construct of slavery, as seen through pervasive, anti-Black subjugation

and violence, is hardly a relic of the past but an almost necessary force in our civilization today, and that Black struggles cannot be conflated with the experiences of any other oppressed group.

In exceptionally clear prose, Wilderson juxtaposes his own seemingly idyllic upbringing in mid-century Minneapolis, Minn., with the harsh reality he would later encounter, whether in radicalized, late 1960s Berkeley or in the slums of Soweto.

Following in the rich literary tradition of works by W.E.B. DuBois, Malcolm X and James Baldwin, “Afropessimism” reverberates with wisdom and

painful clarity.

A professor and chair of African American Studies and a core faculty member of the Culture &amp; Theory Ph.D. Program at UC Irvine, Wilderson is an award-winning writer whose books include “Incognegro: A Memoir of Exile and Apartheid; and Red, White, &amp; Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms.”

He spent more than five years in South Africa, where he was one of two Americans to hold elected office in the African National Congress during the apartheid era. He also was a cadre in the underground.

His literary awards include the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Award for Creative Nonfiction; The American Book Award; The Maya Angelou Award for Best Fiction Portraying the Black Experience in America; and a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship.

Wilderson was educated at Dartmouth College (A.B Government and Philosophy), Columbia University (MFA/Fiction Writing), and UC Berkeley (PhD/Rhetoric).

Davey D is a nationally recognized journalist, adjunct professor, Hip Hop historian, syn-

dicated talk show host, radio programmer, producer, DJ and media and community activist. Originally from the Bronx, N.Y., Davey D’s been down with Hip Hop since 1977. A graduate of U.C. Berkeley, Davey D is the co-founder and host of many of the most cited Hip Hop radio and online news

journalism projects.

Oakland Post Endorses City Council Candidates Continued from page 1

Panelists directed their questions to several of the deep concerns of local residents that are covered regularly in the pages of the Oakland Post. One issue was whether the candidates support real estate developer John Fisher’s proposal to buy the Oakland Coliseum property in East Oakland and take over Port of Oakland public property in West Oakland to build high-end luxury condominiums, a mall and a baseball stadium .

Candidates were asked if they have a comprehensive plan for housing Oakland residents including the homeless and the housing insecure.

Finally, panelists wanted to know the candidates’ comprehensive plan to resolve the city’s decades long police crisis: excessive overtime and cost overruns and inability to comply with federal court racial justice requirements.

Here are the Post endorse-

ments.

Council member at Lage: Rebecca Kaplan, has supported many of the issues that are of particular importance to the African American community and people of color throughout this city.

Her leadership has been crucial on housing and tenant rights, police reform and an end to racial profiling, to improved air quality and toxics cleanup.

Her efforts have earned her the respect of many and the hostility of a few.

Kaplan is accessible and responsive to input. Her opponent has no experience in public office and sometimes seems confused by the issues.

District 1: Dan Kalb has served on the City Council since 2013. He has worked hard to create a strong police commission to oversee the Oakland Police Department.

He has also collaborated with fellow councilmembers to

create policies for affordable housing and tenant protections.

People in his district have raised that they do not find Kalb accessible. We hope that is something he will change.

District 3: Carroll Fife is a candidate who represents real reform in city government and has programs and a track record of working for practical, systemic changes in housing, jobs, racial justice, health and public safety.

Though she has never held or run for public office before, she is well known for her work in the neighborhoods and at City Council by staff and elected officials for years of work on behalf of the community on many of the most important issues in Oakland.
