Sheng Thao Oakland councilmember and council president pro tem Sheng Thao held a press conference this week to announce she is running for mayor in the November 2022 election “My values, commitment to service, and drive to make a difference are rooted in where I come from,” said Thao, the daughter of Hmong refugee, quoted on KRON. “As a Councilmember, I’m inspired every day about the chance to make change for those who need it most. And I’ve shown it’s possible to be both progressive and effective at City Hall.”

Among those who endorsed Thao at the Wednesday press conference were California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Assemblymember Mia Bonta, former Councilmember Dick Spees, and the Alameda Labor Council.

Thao represents District 4 on the City Council. She is the first Hmong American woman to be elected to a city council in California history.

Thao explained that she grew up in Stockton, the seventh of 10 children.

“For a time, we lived in public housing. I grew up with real fear of not having a stable home,” said Thao, speaking to KTVU. “I know what it means to live paycheck to paycheck, to not have a job, to escape a really bad domestic violence relationship, and being homeless with my baby living in our car, couch surfing,” she said Thao, who considers herself a progressive.

She said that being a single mom has helped develop her as the person she has become.

She attended Merritt College and graduated from UC Berkeley.

She started in the city as an intern to chief of staff for city councilmember Rebecca Kaplan, who also supports her campaign.

“I managed multiple city budgets, fought for affordable housing, helped small businesses open and helped get guns off the street,” said Thao.

Council Establishes Task Force to End Racially Inequitable Employment on City Construction Projects

By Ken Epstein The Oakland City Council is taking steps to implement a new report calling for the end of racially inequitable employment on construction projects by setting up a task force that is expected to come up with proposals to require steadily increasing equity in hiring for building projects that are funded by city money.

The report comes in the wake of the building trade unions’ request for a citywide Project Labor Agreement (PLA) that

would guarantee that most city construction jobs would go to members of their unions.

The council’s policy goal is to produce equity in city-funded construction employment.

Of the unions that reported, 2% of current union members are female, and 5% are Black.

Established by a unanimous vote of Council members at their October 5 meeting, the task force will be composed of members of the building trades and those who have been excluded from the unions and good-paying construction

jobs, as well as representatives of agencies and community organizations that have a stake in the outcome of these discussions.

The task force is scheduled to meet for about three months and to report back to the City Council in January with its conclusions or to inform the Council how it is progressing.

Meetings of the task force will be open to the public.

The work of the task force will not be easy. Participants Continued on Page 10

Marty Waukazoo graduated from Black Hills State University and moved to Oakland in 1973. In 1982, he became the

Crime And Homelessness Reach an All-Time High; Residents Want to Know What Can Be Done About It

Greg McConnell

By Paul Cobb Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of interviews with Greg McConnell who commissioned David Binder Research (President Obama’s polling firm) to find out the issues Oakland voters are concerned with.

Sixty-six percent (66%) of Oakland residents feel that the quality of their lives has gotten worse over the past few years.

Sixty-three percent (63%) feel that Oakland is headed in the wrong direction.

These depressing findings were recorded in a poll conducted by the Jobs and Housing Coalition (JHC) between October 16 and 18. They mark an alltime high in negative responses when Oakland residents are asked how they feel about the quality of their lives in Oakland and the direction of the city.

Negative opinion has reached a new high over the last 10 years according to David Binder Re-

search.

This trend has been steadily rising since 2015, however, the trend erupted in a 10-point leap in negative responses – from 53% to 63% - since last June.

The three most pressing issues that Oakland residents cited were homelessness and crime, which were virtually tied, and the cost of housing/rents which came in third place. No other issue was reported as a doubledigit concern.

“It would be foolish to overlook the obvious,” said Greg McConnell, president and CEO of JHC. “People believe their quality of life is sinking, and the city is headed in the wrong direction. We cannot ignore those feelings or dress them up to make them go away. So, our options are either to surrender the city to the current trend of negaContinued on Page 10

Gov. Newsom Lauds Saturday Passage of Learning Black History Year-Round Freedom Summer, A Turning Point $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure and Jobs Act in The Civil Rights Movement

By Bay City News Service

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statement lauding the passage last Saturday of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act bill package, saying the bill will help create quality jobs for Californians and support the modernization of state infrastructure.

The bipartisan infrastructure legislation is a significant element of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda and its passage is a win for the president. The legislation includes funding for roads, bridges, broadband internet access and other projects.

“President Biden understands the need to build a climate-resilient future, and the infrastructure package passed by Congress builds on California’s unprecedented investments to maintain and modernize the state,” the governor said in a statement.

“This historic infrastructure package stands to accelerate investments in our clean transportation infrastructure, help mitigate some of the worst impacts of climate change and accelerate new projects that will create thousands of jobs,” the governor said.

According to the governor’s office, California expects to receive: • $25.3 billion for federal-aid highway apportioned programs

and $4.2 billion for bridge replacement and repairs over five years • $9.45 billion over five years to improve public transportation options across the state • $384 million over five years to support the expansion of an EV charging network in the state and the opportunity to apply for the $2.5 billion in grant funding dedicated to EV charging • A minimum of $100 million to help provide broadband coverage across the state • $84 million over five years to protect against wildfires and $40 million to protect against cyberattacks • $3.5 billion over five years to improve water infrastructure across the state and ensure clean, safe drinking water for California communities • $1.5 billion for infrastructure development for airports over five years

It was 1964 and the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing. Three years before, unforgettable history had been made: Freedom Riders (groups of white and African American civil rights activists who participated in Freedom Rides) traveled via bus throughout the segregated South fighting Jim Crow laws; and Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963. What took place then was called “progress.”

Still, the South remained segregated, especially at polling places. Blacks were abused, attacked, threatened, and some were killed when at-

In June 1964 around 800 white, mainly middle-class northern students travelled to Mississippi to spend the summer working alongside veteran Black activists. It was a bold and creative attempt to advance the cause of civil rights and to force decisive action from the federal government. Courtesy of heroesofthecivilrightsmovement.org/chapter/freedom-summer

tempting to exercise their right to vote.

Devices used to deter voters included literacy tests and poll taxes, a fee that must be paid

by Blacks in order to vote. And Mississippi led the pack, boasting the lowest number of Black registered voters: less than 7% of those who were eligible.

These issues led to a 1964 voter registration drive aimed at increasing the number of registered Black voters in Mississippi. It was called Freedom Summer, also dubbed the Mississippi Summer Project.

The project was organized by civil rights groups such as the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and run by the local Council of Federated Organizations. More than 700 volunteers (mostly white) joined Mississippi Blacks in the fight against voter intimidation and discrimination.

They, too, were met with the same level of violence, all perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan alongside some local and state law enforcement officers. Reports from the press drew international attention to America’s racist treatment of its Black citizens.

As the summer grew hotter, the violence escalated.

Michael Schwerner and

Andrew Goodman, white students from New York, and James Chaney, a Black man from Meridian, Miss., arrived in Philadelphia, Miss., on June 15. There, the trio was tasked to investigate a church burning. The arson was not resolved, and the three men had been kidnapped.

Six weeks later, their bodies were recovered: beaten and lynched by a Klan mob.

Public outcry mounted as the hunt for their killers began. Schwerner, Goodman, and Chaney became nationally known. The press dubbed the crime “the Freedom Summer murders.”

Distrust crept in between white and Black volunteers and staff. There were 17,000 Blacks in Mississippi that summer attempting to register to vote. Sadly, only 1,200 were successful. Still, progress was made.

The project established 40plus Freedom Schools serving 3,000 adults and children to read. National attention spurred by the press convinced then-president Lyndon B. Johnson and Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, squashing segregation in public places and banning all employment discrimination.

Oakland’s Two Star Market to Host 19th Annual Thanksgiving Community Celebration

By Clifford L. Williams

Oakland’s Two Star Market, located at 2020 MacArthur Blvd., off Fruitvale Avenue, is gearing up for its 19th annual Thanksgiving Community Celebration to be held Thursday, Nov. 25, 2021, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Oakland’s local community and residents from neighboring cities will join in the fun and festivities during the Market’s afternoon food fest that has fed residents from as far away as Vallejo and Fremont.

Two Star’s manager Farouq Alawdi, said the market is ready to feed anyone and everyone during the afternoon celebration and feast that will include a menu of smoked turkey, chicken kabobs, pizza, Hispanic delicacies, side dishes and desserts to the 1,000 guests expected to attend. Families with two or more family members will be able to take additional dinners home with them.

“We’ve been funding and providing these hot dinners for the past 18 years” Alawdi said.

“It’s our way of giving back to the community because without them, we wouldn’t be here. The community has helped to sustain our business since we first opened in 1983 and this is our way of thanking the community for their help to sustain our business.

“This year, we will come back to normal, with tables un-

der a tent in the parking lot,” Alawdi said. “The spacious seating will allow attendees to enjoy the full buffet-style servings, while also adhering to mandated social-distancing protocols and guidelines set forth by health officials.”

The annual Thanksgiving meal will be slightly modified because of the COVID pandemic which determines how large groups of people can gather and celebrate. For those vaccinated,

Congresswoman Barbara Lee Applauds Passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill

By Sean Ryan

Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13), senior member of the House Appropriations and Budget Committees, released the following statement applauding the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill and remarked on the path forward for the Build Back Better Act on November 5: “… I supported the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill on the House floor and voted in favor of a path forward for the Build Back Better Act. America’s crumbling infrastructure is in desperate need of investment, and after months of long negotiations, we have finally delivered the good paying jobs and improvements to our roads, bridges, and transportation that this country so desperately needs.

Rep. Barbara Lee

“Now, our focus remains on passing the Build Back Better Act — President Biden’s economic agenda. We are on the cusp of making transformational investments in families across the country through measures like paid family leave, the care economy, housing, climate action,

immigration reform, and much more. I have worked for months in good faith with my Democratic colleagues and President Biden to deliver real relief “for the people,” especially for communities of color.

“I will continue working around the clock with my colleagues to make good on our promise to build back better and bolder for our communities.

Per our agreement with our colleagues, I am confident that we will soon pass the Build Back Better Act, send it to the Senate for approval, and get it signed by the president right away. We must deliver for our communities. It is long overdue.”

Sean Ryan is the communications director in Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s press office.

it is requested they show proof of their vaccination. Otherwise, masks should be worn at all times when they are not eating. Masks will be provided for those who need them.

Two Star’s in-house SmOakRing Smokehouse eatery will assist in smoking 20 turkeys. Other local eateries making contributions include Dimond’s Vegetarian Pizzeria and the La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant, who will partner

with Two Star to make the event possible.

“We have a wonderful community here in Oakland and our event draws people from all over the Bay Area,” Alawdi said. “We are looking for volunteers to help with serving the throngs of people we are expecting. Volunteers should bring their own aprons and oven mittens. Volunteers interested in working in the kitchen to help cook and serve should sign up at

Blacks Among 21 New Staffers on Cal Would You Pressure Your Kid’s Coach Attorney General Bonta’s Exec Team to Apologize for Winning By 106-0?

Opinion

By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media

California Attorney General Rob Bonta last week announced the appointment of his executive team. Included are three African American attorneys with a range of administrative and litigation experience in the private and public sectors.

Venus D. Johnson now serves as chief deputy attorney general; Damon M. Brown was named special assistant attorney general, and Amy C. Alley is the policy director of the Office of Legislative Affairs.

The trio joins 18 other members of the California Department of Justice’s top personnel who will be setting the standards and determining the direction of the state’s law enforcement apparatus and criminal justice system.

Johnson will oversee the Divisions of Legal Affairs, Law Enforcement, Operations, Policy, and Technology. She will also preside over the Office of Solicitor General Opinion Unit, Equal Employment Rights and Resolution Office, and the Office of Program Oversight and Accountability.

With over 15 years of legal, law enforcement, and criminal justice experience, Johnson has served in senior staff roles in the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office, with the City of Oakland, and at the California Department of Justice.

She recently served as chief assistant district attorney for District Attorney Diana Becton, where she managed the overall administration of the Contra Costa District Attorney’s office. Her duties included overseeing the general

operations, budget, and personnel decisions of all units within the office and serving as the district attorney in Becton’s absence.

Johnson also served as associate attorney general in the executive office of former Attorney General Kamala D. Harris where she oversaw Harris’ executive team and operated as a senior legal and policy advisor.

“Venus is a dedicated public servant who is committed to the fair and equal administration of justice,” Harris said after selecting Johnson for the Attorney General’s cabinet in 2013.

Prior to this role, Johnson was deputy attorney general/ legislative advocate for former California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris and deputy district attorney for Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley. Johnson earned a

Juris Doctor from the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law, and her Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Loyola Marymount University.

Brown will serve as a legal and policy advisor on civil rights. He has over 15 years of experience working with some of the most prestigious private law firms in California where he represented a diverse client base of public agencies and private businesses in a range of civil matters, including labor and employment, class action litigation, and constitutional and civil rights litigation.

Coaches push the athletes they train to put their all into mastering the mental and physical aspects of their sport, preparing them to edge out competitors and perform at the height of their abilities.

But there are real-life situations, it seems, when attaining excellence proves to be too much — or maybe just not good enough.

This seems to have been the case October 29 when an impressive shut-out victory for Inglewood High School in Los Angeles County ended up turning into a bitter crosstown game of guilt, blame and grievances.

That day, Inglewood High football coach and former Cleveland Browns defensive back Mil’Von James led his team to a 106-0 victory over rivals Morningside High School.

Since that shellacking, education authorities have blasted James and Inglewood High for being too focused on winning that they failed to exhibit a spirit of compassion and sportsmanship.

The California Interscholastic Federation - Southern Section (CIF-SS), the governing body of high school athletics in the state, released a scathing statement regarding the wide margin of the game’s final score.

“The CIF Southern Section expects that all athletic contests are to be conducted under the strictest code of good sportsmanship. “We expect coaches, players, officials, administrators and students to adhere to the Six Pillars of Character — Trustworthiness, Respect, Respon-

sibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship,” CIF-SS fired off in a statement.

“A score of 106-0 does not represent these ideals,” the statement continued. “The CIF-SS condemns, in the strongest terms, results such as these. It is our expectation that the Inglewood administration will work towards putting in place an action plan so that an event such as this does not repeat itself.”

James, 38, said it was not his intention to degrade or demoralize the Morningside High team.

“I apologized for the way things turned out,” James said.

During the game, he benched his defensive starters after the second quarter and most of his other frontline players in the second half. But Inglewood continued to run up the score on its hapless opponent.

Anyone who knows James personally would know — and can attest to the fact — that his intent was never to bring shame to the game that he loves.

Coaches like James who have played college and pro

football understand the fierce competitiveness it requires for young people to succeed when pursuing careers as professional athletes. They train their students to be warriors, to dominate their opponents. Varsity sports is the highest level of competition in high school.

Today, the advancement of training techniques and yearround coaching and development increases the likelihood that schools with the resources will outperform schools with sports programs that are underfunded or under-supported.

Since he became coach at Inglewood High three seasons ago, James has taken the team from a losing streak to being nearly undefeated. During that time, the team has moved from CIF-SS Division 13 to Division 2.

Inglewood student athletes have advantages in coaching and preparation that Morningside and many other schools do not.

James was a star on the football squad at Fremont High School in Los Angeles where he graduated in 2003. In college, he first played for the Continued on page 8

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,

The Communities You Are Trying to Erase

See Instructions To Bidders, Article 3 - “Submittals Prior To Opening Bid.” This procedure does not apply where products or services have been limited by specific designation per Public Contract Code Section 3400 (c).

This is a public works contract. Prevailing wages are required on this contract. The prevailing wage rates are available on the Internet at http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm.

A copy of the prevailing wage rates is on file and available for inspection by any interested party on request at the District’s Specifications and Engineering Support Section. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. All Contractors bidding on a public works project and all Subcontractors of any tier shall be registered with the State Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code. As provided in Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, the Contractor may substitute securities for monies withheld by the District to ensure performance of the work.

It is mandatory that all of the following contractors who intend to submit a bid or proposal for District Projects, fully complete the District’s prequalification questionnaire, provide all materials requested therein, and be approved by the District to be on the final prequalified contractors list. If a contractor has been prequalified by the District within the past three (3) years, that contractor may complete the District’s “renewal” prequalification questionnaire for a total of three (3) years. The District will notify contractors of their three (3) year anniversary date in the contractor’s prequalification letter.

This prequalification requirement applies to the following contractors: 

A contractor with an A, B, C-4, C-7, C-10, C-16, C-20, C-34, C-36, C-38, C-42, C-43, and/or C-46 license(s) that intends to bid as a contractor (prime contractor) directly to the District for design-bid-build and lease-leaseback projects.

A contractor with a C-4, C-7, C-10, C-16, C-20, C-34, C-36, C-38, C-42, C-43, and/or C-46 license(s) that intends to submit proposals as a first-tier subcontractor to a general contractor (prime contractor) that is bidding directly to the District for design-bid-build and lease-leaseback projects.

Contractors must complete the District’s form. No other prequalification documents submitted by a contractor will meet the District’s requirements and all forms must be submitted on the most recent respective forms. Certified Local/Small Local Resident Business Enterprise contractors shall be prequalified pursuant to the District’s Prequalification for Prospective Certified Local/Small Local Resident Bidders.

No Cuts to Head Start!

By Councilmembers Bas, Fife, Kaplan, and Thao

On Sept. 1, the Oakland City Council passed the resolution we introduced; providing funding to restore Head Start services in Oakland, which had been proposed for closure.

With our resolution, we ensured that three Head Start Centers would remain open to serve children and families of color by providing stability to the mostly women of color workers who have been serving our community for generations.

We took timely action in order to prevent layoffs and cuts from taking place by calling for an urgent council meeting and vote prior to the date of the planned closures However, we are concerned to hear from community partners and labor that council directives are not being followed and that these centers may still see cuts. Head Start is an essential service for our community.

The loss of Head Start programs undermines both the quality of life and future of the children who participate in them. Furthermore, the closure of this essential service can have devastating and long-lasting economic impacts on the parents and caregivers’ who benefit from them.

We also know that these cuts disproportionately harm mothers, low-income residents, and communities of color, and that

Wenefrett Cecelia Phillips Watson, 100

Opinion

these specific cuts proposed would disproportionately impact African American and Immigrant communities and workers. We must and will continue to insist that our council directive be fully implemented.

We found the funding, took preventive actions to keep these centers open and are asking for confirmation that our directives are being followed.

We want to ensure that in the planning for the coming years, our city staff will work to ensure that these vital services remain, address retention of workers, professional development and hire the additional

staff necessary to meet the increased demand for childcare.

In order to provide the best quality of care and work environment, we must retain and improve the physical locations we have, as they have gone through significant work to be certified as Head Start centers. It is imperative that our staff research and identify incoming federal and state dollars for early education that could be leveraged to improve worker wages and center infrastructure.

We have our work cut out for us, a plan to improve our Head Start program requires that we engage everyone impacted by it in a strategic and transparent process. This will ensure we protect and strengthen equitable access for all.

Councilmembers Sheng Thao, Rebecca Kaplan, Nikki Bas, and Carroll Fife.

The Head Start membership is overwhelmingly Black women and people of color who have dedicated their lives to this work and this program. They should have a seat at the table in crafting what improvements need to be made and how they would be put in place.

We recognize, as has been acknowledged by many others, that the economic crisis facing our communities is falling disproportionately on Black women and women of color, who are further disparately impacted when childcare is not available and are also disparately impacted as workers.

And thus, we wish to make clear that there should not be layoffs, and that the planned reorganization needs to be paused to take into account the Council’s vote not to cut centers, direction to provide for expansion, and to ensure upcoming budget actions must reflect protecting our Head Start program-

ming.

Thus, we propose: • No cuts of services to Oakland’s Head Starts and that staff take input from current Head Start staff to improve the program; • That the administration shall return to Council with a budget to fully retain City of Oakland’s Head Start programming, including pursuing newly available federal funds if possible. No later than the May Budget Revise; • That no layoffs shall take place; • And a pause in the job specification revision. (Some of the reorganization should be different since we aren’t closing centers, and some of the current reorganization does not match the concerns from the Federal government.)

Sincerely, Council members Nikki Bas, Carroll Fife, Rebecca Kaplan, and Shen Thao

Oakland Latino Chamber of Commerce November Mixer

By Post Staff

On Tuesday, November 2, the Oakland Latino Chamber of Commerce held its first inperson mixer in nearly two years, and, not surprisingly, the turnout was excellent.

The event was held at Oakland’s newest nightclub, Que Rico, which is owned by OLCC Board Director Valentino Carrillo and located at 381 15th St. in downtown Oakland. The mixer attracted over 50 attendees from a diverse cross-section of Oakland’s business, political and community spectrum.

Generous complimentary snacks, drinks, and lively music went a long way in creating a fun atmosphere combining business/networking with a party.

Oakland’s ethnic chambers were all well represented, demonstrating the mutual respect and support these local groups have for each other. The Oak-

must design proposals that undo the historic job discrimination that dominates the construction industry, which has long been protected by the building trades unions nationally and locally.

“The City of Oakland’s commitment to embed ‘fair and just’ into all the city does calls for reframing of building trades agreements to address the historical exclusion of Black, indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and women from building trade union membership and employment,” stated a report submitted to the City Council by Darlene Flynn, director of the city’s Department of Race and Equity.

“It will require a completely redesigned approach that assigns shared responsibilities to begin to reverse over 150 years of exclusionary history and its impacts,” the report said.

In her verbal report to Council members, Flynn said

she become active with the NAACP, the Urban League, and she eventually ran for City Council.

tivity or turn things around.”

The question now, asked McConnell, is how do we turn things around? “The last thing we need are big speeches and proclamations. You fix big problems by focusing on the small parts. My recommendation is to get government working more effectively.”

“Oakland must start doing the small things well,” explained McConnell. “Take the homeless crisis for example. This problem will not be solved with lofty speeches. Addressing mental health and addiction issues must be done one day and one issue at a time. No one gets sober overnight. They build one day on another until they have 24 hours, then 30 days, then years.”

The same is true with shelter

for the unhoused. Oakland will not build thousands of housing units in a day. They chip away at the problem by building new units every day until we have a sufficient supply. “Doing little things well will impact the big things greatly,” McConnell continued.

“There will always be big political decisions like whether to fund or defund police, but to make a city better, it’s what we do every day that will make a difference and improve life in Oakland”, said McConnell. “If we operate government like government is supposed to operate and if government focuses on small things day by day, resident negativity, depression, and pessimism will fade away.”
