Pressure Increases on Gov. Newsom to Appoint Rep. Bass or Rep. Lee to Replace Sen. Harris By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media
A loud chorus of voices from across California and around the country are putting pressure on California Gov. Gavin Newsom to appoint Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA-37) or Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA-13) to fill the state’s U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. A coalition of community groups and organizers from Southern California have created a petition at Change.org titled “Let’s Keep the Seat.” It asks for support to keep a Black woman in Harris’ position and points out why that decision is important. “Currently, Kamala Harris is the only African American woman in the entire United States Senate and when her seat becomes vacant there will be no African American women in the U.S. Senate,” the petition

explains. The petition also highlights Bass’ and Lee’s experience. “Please sign the petition and join the movement to urge Gov. Gavin Newsom to replace Kamala Harris with either Congresswoman Karen Bass, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus or Congress-

woman Barbara Lee, both of whom are coalition builders with significant national and foreign policy experience,” it states. Democracy for America (DFA), a Left-leaning political action committee, also launched a grassroots effort last week calling on Newsom
to replace Harris with another progressive Black woman in the U.S. Senate. “In this year’s election, Black women helped make history by making Kamala Harris the first Black woman to be elected vice president. Today, Continued on Page 10
‘Smoakring Smoakhouse’ BBQ in Oakland’s Dimond District Will Offer Free Thanksgiving Dinners By Clifford L. Williams

Kaiser Permanente Supports COVID-19 Prevention Efforts Moms 4 Housing March to Protest Housing Auction For People Experiencing Homelessness In Oakland A $150,000 grant to Roots Community Health Center will provide more medical treatment; increase access to COVID-19 testing By Kerri Leedy
Kaiser Permanente is supporting efforts to provide more COVID-19 testing to people experiencing homelessness in Oakland and raising awareness about how to prevent further spread of the virus in the community. A $150,000 grant to Roots Community Health Center – a full-service primary care clinic headquartered in East Oakland – will enhance the center’s Oakland Street Team Outreach Medical Program or STOMPTM. Oakland STOMP provides medical treatment and outreach services to people experiencing chronic homelessness who don’t otherwise have access to medical care.
Dr. Noha Aboelata, Roots’ chief executive officer.
The Kaiser Permanente funding will add one an additional person to the Oakland STOMP team, which will allow the medical team to reach more individuals. The team consists of a physician, medical assistant/phlebotomist and outreach worker. The grant
will help the team provide more COVID-19 testing, flu vaccinations and hand out more supplies such as masks and hand sanitizer to help prevent community spread of COVID-19. Founded in 2008, Roots Community Health Center serves about 6,000 individuals a year in Oakland and offers a variety of medical and wraparound services for people without other access to health care. “It’s critical that we have this additional support for people who are unsheltered because there is so much more of a need now among our homeless population,” said Dr. Noha Aboelata, Roots’ chief executive officer. “To have our team supported with more materials
and more staffing is crucial to helping us do more COVID-19 education and linkages to services during this time of need.” Aboelata said the COVID-19 positivity rate is already high in East Oakland and is currently on the rise. Some of the most serious COVID outbreaks occur within congregate living settings such as shelters, Aboelata said. She added that the Kaiser Permanente funding will help provide the information and resources needed to contain some of the spread of the virus. This is one of 14 grants Kaiser Permanente recently awarded to nonprofits and government agencies that serve Continued on Page 10
Mayor Announces Affordable Housing Pilot Program for 12 New Teachers
By Post Staff
Continuing their movement for affordable housing, Moms 4 Housing led a march in the rain Tuesday to protest the twice-weekly foreclosure auction on the steps of the René C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland, marking the one-year anniversary of their bold seizure of a vacant, foreclosed property in West Oakland. No one showed up at the courthouse, meaning no homes were sold that day at the auction. Moms 4 Housing captured national headlines last year
when the four mothers occupied the West Oakland home. On January 14, Alameda County Sheriff’s dep- Carroll Fife uties carried out a militarized eviction. They used a battering ram to break into the house, arresting the four women. The district attorney decided not to press charges. Eventually, Wedgewood Properties, which owned the foreclosed home, agreed to sell it to the Continued on Page 10

The program currently serves 12 teachers and is not funded by public money. The pilot program was made possible by $150,000 in donations from the Community Development Finance nonprofit, Pritzker Foundation, Hellman Foundation, the California Endowment and
other philanthropic donors. While no funds are currently available to expand the program beyond the original handful of teachers, the goal is to raise money to expand the program to over 100 teachers in the next nine Continued on Page 10
Dr. Nicholas Moss, MD, MPH has accepted appointment as the County Health Officer. The appointment was approved by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors at Tuesday’s regular meeting. Moss has served as Interim Health Officer since July, when Gov. Gavin Newsom selected former Health Officer Dr. Erica Pan to serve at the state level. Moss has served as a leader in Alameda County’s COVID-19 response since January, overseeing many aspects from data reporting to
reopening policies. “Dr. Moss brings extensive knowledge in communicable disease and nearly 10 years of experience in leadership roles,” said Colleen Chawla, Alameda County Health Care Services Agency director. “His appointment provides deep knowledge of, and ongoing continuity in, our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.” Moss is an infectious disease medicine specialist and medical epidemiologist by training. He joined the agency in 2013 as the Public Health HIV STD Section director. He advanced Continued on Page 10

Georgia’s Black Voters Learning Black History Year-Round Can Make History Again Belinda Bennett: Diversity at the Helm By Ben Jealous
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris made a brilliant choice in opening her remarks at the Democratic presidential ticket’s victory celebration with a quote from civil rights icon and former Georgia congressman John Lewis, who wrote before he died, “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.” Lewis, who was nearly killed by racist police on the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, Ala., knew better than most of us that taking action to defend democracy can be dangerous. But he also knew, as Harris reminded us, that there is joy in the struggle. Brothers and sisters, de-

tions to take, more bridges to cross, more elections to win— right now, and right in John Lewis’s home state of Georgia. Georgia was in the rare position of having two U.S. senate races on the ballot in the same year. Both races had more than two candidates, and both races have now gone to runoff elections, according to Georgia law, because no candidate got over 50% of the vote. That means that on Jan. 5, 2021, —actually for early voters starting December 14— Georgia voters have the power to decide whether the U.S. Senate will have a majority willing to work with the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of the American people, or whether we’ll be stuck with a Republican majority led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who brags about turning the Senate into a graveyard for legislation coming from the House of Representatives. McConnell is the reason American families and small businesses suffering from the economic fallout of the pandemic have had no relief for months. McConnell is the reason Trump has been able to pack federal courts with the worst, most unqualified, most anti-civil rights judges we’ve seen in a long time. On the Democratic side, we have two Senate candidates we can be excited about. Rev. Rafael Warnock is the senior pastor of Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. and his father where pastors. Warnock has embraced the responsibilities that come with Continued on page 8
Cruise ships have always hired women in areas of passenger services. Positions on the bridge, however, were never even considered. Windstar Cruises, LLC, which operates a fleet of small luxury cruise ships, has set an example of true diversity with Belinda Bennett serving as the first Black woman cruise ship captain on the MSC Wind Star. Bennett, 45, is a British citizen and resides in Southampton, U.K. Her maiden voyage as captain was on Jan. 30, 2016, with 102 international crew aboard the 148-passenger Wind Star cruising in the Caribbean, according to the company’s web site. But her path to the helm was not without resistance. During a 2019 interview with Forbes, Bennett said that she’d had a “rough start.” When training as a cadet in South Tyneside (located in Northeast England), she sailed with chief officers “who made me work harder than the other guys … work later than the sailors. So, they would knock off for the day, and I would be left outside continuing to work until it got dark. It really was a make-or-break-you time, and me being me, I refused to be broken.” It was an experience she described to Travel Age West as “a culture shock.” On entering the academy, Bennett admitted that she was naïve to racism. Some 70-plus men and five women comprised Bennett’s class. “Some of those in charge were determined to break us,” she said. She would later be-

come the only woman to complete the course and enter the maritime industry. She briefly served as chief officer for private charter yacht SS Delphine, and Isle of Man Steam Packet ferries. But the yacht industry wasn’t ready to embrace diversity. Bennett told Forbes that after completing her master’s degree, she was “sat down by an agent in Antibes and told that finding a job in the yachting industry would be very hard because of three things: (1) I had a higher education than most captains at the time; (2) I was a woman; (3) I was Black.” Originally from the island of St. Helena (located in the South Atlantic between South America and Africa), Bennett developed a love for the ocean and spent most of her time on the water. In fact, the only way off St. Helena at that time was by
ship. By age 17, she worked on the RMS St. Helena. It was the only ship supporting the island, Bennett said, adding: “That’s when my adventures started.” Bennett never allowed others to impede her success or redirect her goals. “I am a very strong woman,” she said. “Being a woman, you have to work extra hard to prove yourself; even more than a man. Some men might not like that … I wanted to be captain, and so, I am.” Bennett joined Windstar Cruises as Second Officer at the Port of Monaco in September 2005, according to the company’s web site. Over her more than 13-year career, she has worked on a variety of Windstar ships, progressing to chief officer and now captain. In 2018, Bennett was awarded the Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service.

Here’s How Joe Biden Can Have Black America’s Back:
Select an Education Secretary Who Will Challenge Status Quo
By Dr. Margaret Fortune
“American educators, this is a great day for you. You will have one of your own in the White House,” said Joe Biden in a victory speech that hit all the right notes. Black America cheered along as President-elect Biden acknowledged that we stood up for him and he promised he would have our back. We celebrate the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as President-elect and Vice President-elect, period. But you don’t have to be Ice Cube to temper your enthusiasm with a healthy dose of realism when it comes to politicians making promises to Black folks. As a Black Democrat and a public charter school leader, I was left wondering, do Mr. Biden’s commitments to African Americans and educators apply to all of us? Union teachers know President-elect Biden was talking to them, because he has said as much. But, Biden has carefully avoided making any positive statements about alternatives to the status quo when it comes to American schools. He recently sat for an interview with Lily Eskelsen Garcia, past president of the National Education Association (NEA), where he cosigned her sentiments calling charter schools a “very misguided” reform. Black Democratic primary voters overwhelmingly disagree — nearly 90% support expanding access to more public school options, including charter schools. Texts and tweets flew around the country breaking news that after days of waiting with baited breath, Pennsylvania deliv-
Opinion
ered Biden the Electoral College votes to put him over the top to clutch the presidency. But while we celebrate, playing in the background is a voice cautioning, “Let’s be clear for the families and communities we care about, the struggle continues.” The wake-up call for white progressives in this moment is that Biden’s razor thin margins of victory in swing states give him a mandate not to lurch to the left, but to compromise and moderate. Nowhere is this more important than in Philadelphia, a city where Black voters broke for Biden and where about one in three public school students attend a charter school. Mr. Biden should listen to New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker who said, “Stop being dogmatic about public charter schools. We can’t dismiss good ideas because they don’t fit into neat ideological boxes or don’t personally affect some of the louder, more privileged voices in the party.” Having Black America’s back means Mr. Biden must lead the difficult conversation within the Democratic party to stand up for Black school children and hold his union allies accountable when they stand in the way of needed education reforms.
Regrettably, it appears Biden’s transition team is headed in the wrong direction. Union chiefs Eskelsen Garcia and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten are atop the list to head the U.S. Department of Education. That would be a disaster. Both would likely draw strong opposition from Republicans and centrist Democrats in the Senate on the basis of policy and politics. Plus, social justice advocates have raised legitimate questions about the NEA and AFT’s historical support for campus cops and their role in enabling the school-to-prison pipeline. At a time when America is ending policing in schools, Weingarten’s AFT represents parole, probation and corrections officers. These issues will surely percolate in the public discourse over Eskelsen Garcia and Weingarten. There are better choices for U.S. Education Secretary. Geoffrey Canada, founder of the Harlem Children’s Zone is frequently mentioned. Time magazine highlighted his cradle-to-career continuum of high-quality neighborhood schools and support services for disadvantaged children crediting Canada for providing the template for former Pres. Barack Obama’s Promise Neighborhood program. California Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, is the state capitol’s leading voice on education equity. Best known for her mix of social justice and education reform bills, Weber has charged hard to close achievement gaps since her days as president of the San Diego Unified
School Board and a professor at San Diego State University. California State Board of Education Pres. Linda Darling Hammond’s role heading education for Biden’s transition team could elevate the profile of Weber as a possible choice. Civil rights and education reform groups alike point to Dr. Sonya Brookins Santelis-
es, chief of Baltimore City Public Schools as a top pick. Mr. Biden should choose an Education Secretary who challenges the status quo. Black children need the President to have advisers who look at American schooling through a critical lens and are willing to push the envelope, rather than uphold a system already
proven to disadvantage millions of Black children across America. Dr. Margaret Fortune is the President/CEO of Fortune School, a network of K-12 public charter schools she founded to close the African American achievement gap in her hometown of Sacramento, CA.

Urgent Steps Are Necessary to Address Implicit Bias in Early Education COMMENTARY By Black Men for Educational Equity, Special to California Black Media Partners
The school-to-prison pipeline starts as early as preschool for our youngest Black learners. According to the U.S. Department of Education (20162017), Black children face issues with pre-school access and exclusion, and are prone to receive harsher discipline than non-Black students who display the same behavior. Statistics show that Black children are 15% of the K12th grade student population; however, they are 36% of students suspended at least once. Too many Black early learners are bounced around between multiple pre-schools or childcare programs like urban nomads. During the height of the George Floyd protests, a group of African American men with professional experience in education, policy, research and social work formed Black Men for Educational Equity (BMEE) to address implicit bias in early education. Over the last five months, BMEE examined the disparities and inequalities that exist in the system for young Black children and have created a plan of action for addressing these systemic issues. To combat this problem, BMEE is calling on the California Legislature to ensure that Black pre-schoolers are not excluded from important educational components and success through implicit bias and structural racism. Having access to quality pre-school, fair treatment in the classroom, and equal opportunity for success are all crucial components in helping our Black pre-school students

succeed now, and for generations to come. Too often, the three “B’s” predict a pre-schooler’s risk of expulsion: “big, Black and boy.” Black children are expelled at twice the rate of white children, particularly if they are bigger or taller than their peers.

Research reveals this is less about the physical characteristics of the child and more about what is going on in the teacher’s mind, than what the child is doing. Although there is great need in California for pre-school and childcare services, pre-school is not compulsory.

Pre-schools in California currently can exclude students prior to even attempting to teach them based on subjective behavioral expectations. These unfounded behavioral expectations are often fraught with implicit bias and hidden from research as providers are not required to track or report reasons for exclusion, expulsion, or suspension. It is tantamount to expulsion without any process or notice of rights, and contrary to longterm public policy. Young Black children, particularly Black boys, are too often victims of an education system that fails them and stifles their potential to succeed. While state legislators have made efforts to address pre-school accountability,
laws such as AB 752 by Assemblywoman Blanca Rubio (D-Baldwin Park), which proposes a series of interventions and referrals before expelling a child, there remains a hole the size of Mount Everest in California’s early learning accountability and teacher training system. Pre-school providers should collect and track data on rates of expulsion and suspension in early learning and preschool settings. At a minimum, four dominant categories should disaggregate the data. They are: sex, race, ethnicity, and disability status. Information could be housed locally and by the state. Preschool providers should also be required to provide due process before kicking a student
out. “California’s early learning and care system continues to suffer from historic and structural racism and sexism,” according to Dr. Mary Ann Dewan, Santa Clara County superintendent of schools. “Now that we know better, it’s time to do better.” “BMEE is here to shake up the system and not maintain the status quo,” said Khaim Morton, owner of KRM Strategies and a BMEE member. KRM strategies specializes in the advancement and application of comprehensive legislation and government affairs strategies. BMEE is a group of African-American men with professional experience in education, policy, research and social work.

SF Company, Oakland Unhoused Residents, End Year Long Land Dispute By Zack Haber
San Francisco’s GameChanger LLC and seven unhoused residents ended a dispute on Monday when residents agreed to leave a 1.5 acre tract of company owned land just west of Wood Street in West Oakland in exchange for accepting material or monetary concessions. Both sides agreed to each other’s terms after a year-long standoff that involved a court battle, law enforcement actions, several protests and civil disobedience. Over the last year, the United Front Against Displacement (UFAD), a grassroots group that organizes to prevent displacement, supported the residents during the standoff by organizing several protests and defensive actions. “We would have been mowed over if it wasn’t for the UFAD…and all the neighbors that came out of their houses to stand by us,” said Mavin Carter-Griffin, a resident in her

land for $1 a year to the City of Oakland which would then work with a nonprofit to create a Safe RV parking site where residents who lived in RVs could soon come back and live. An 18-month-long lease was written up, but not signed, as the City first wanted the land cleared. During the operation, Oakland Police Dept. officers also encouraged people living in tents and self-made homes to clear the area, although no formal eviction was declared. The UFAD and their supporters worked with the residents by organizing a protest during the operation to support them in their resistance. While the vast majority of residents left the tract during the operation, a small group of unhoused residents remained on the tract, resisting OPD officers who encouraged them to move.
mid-50s who agreed to move all of her belongings off the tract and onto Wood Street on Monday in exchange for a 40foot metal storage facility. Some roots of the dispute can be traced back to Nov. 5, and 6 of 2019. On those days the City of Oakland, using funds supplied by GameChanger for towing expenses, agreed to clear vehicles off the com-
pany’s land. Some of those vehicles were abandoned, while others served as homes for residents, off the company’s land. At the time, the dust-covered tract with dried grass and wild flowering fennel was densely packed with unhoused residents who lived in vehicles, To read the full story, go tents, or self-made structures.

Their politics don’t represent a narrow view of democracy, but an expansive view,” said Ridley-Thomas. CLBC members also sent a letter to Newsom. “The African American community has worked hard to elect the first African American Senator in the state,” Weber said. “Though we represent a small percentage of California’s population, our voting power demonstrates our ability to build strong coalitions across diverse communities. We are adamant that this position goes to an African Ameri-
can woman.” At noon on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020, the California Democratic Party Black Caucus is joining with other women organizations -- including the National Organization for Women NOW) and Black Women United (BWU) -- to hold a rally at the California State Capitol in Sacramento. At the event, they will be calling on the governor to appoint Lee or Bass. In 1998, Congresswoman Barbara Lee was elected to serve California’s 9th congressional district (now the 13th) in a special election. She serves on the Budget Committee and the Appropriations Committee, which oversees all federal government spend-

Re-elected to her sixth term on November 3, Bass serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs where she is the chair of the subcommittee on Africa, global health, global human rights, and international organizations. She is also a member of the House Judiciary Committee. Other groups in the state have urged the governor to appoint California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Secretary of State Alex Padilla, and Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, among others. Gov. Newsom can either decide to make an appointment to complete Harris’s term, which ends in 2023, or he can hold a special election.
steps to preserve affordable housing, prevent homelessness, and house vulnerable seniors in our Northern California communities including: •Since 2019, making impact investments of nearly $35 million to support the purchase of 37 properties in Northern California, ensuring that some 3,300 units of housing in those buildings remains affordable. •Partnering with the San Francisco Foundation, a trio of nonprofit agencies, and the City of Oakland to launch Keep Oakland Housed. The program
provides legal representation, emergency financial help, and supportive services to prevent Oakland residents from losing their housing and has served more than 3,000 households since its launch in 2018. •Partnering with Bay Area Community Services in 2019 to house 515 formerly homeless seniors with a chronic health condition or disability. •Investing $25 million in Project Homekey, a statewide initiative to turn underutilized hotels and motels across the state into interim and perma-
nent housing. “Kaiser Permanente recognizes stable housing is key to preventing the spread of COVID-19 among some of the most-vulnerable residents in our community,” said Ed Chan, senior vice president and area manager for Kaiser Permanente’s East Bay Service Area. “We are proud to support Roots Community Health Center as they increase access to medical care and expand COVID-19 testing among those experiencing chronic homelessness.”
able housing in Oakland is a good thing. (But) that’s a Band-Aid. Of course, it’s not enough.” He said teachers are not the only ones in Oakland who need affordable housing. “We really need to find solutions, not only for educators but other school employees, for our families and workingclass families in the city.” Urging officials to move forward with a democratic, transparent process, he said there could be something like a series of town hall meetings involving the whole community in developing responses to the crisis. Brown said he is hopeful that in the coming year, with a more progressive School Board and City Council, the City will address the housing crisis. Under the pilot “Teacher Residency Program,” each of the 12 teachers receive a $15,000 stipend for a year of student teaching if they commit to work in OUSD
for four years. Six of the teachers live at the Paloma Apartments in the Laurel District. Another student teacher instead receives a $1,500–a-month stipend. Five first- and second-year teachers receive a $500-month-stipend. The program is designed to support teachers of color who are working in hardto-recruit positions, such as special education, science, math and engineering. Of-

At the same time, they are wary that these concerns should not be used an excuse to close schools, sell school property and build market-rate condominiums.

To date, Alameda County has committed over $100 million into its health care services to address the public health crisis caused by COVID-19. In an effort to go beyond its statutory responsibilities, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors redirected $5 million in CARES Act funds to establish the Alameda County CARES grant program - launched this week - to aid small businesses in response to the economic, health, and safety impacts of the pandemic. The deadline to apply for the Alameda County CARES grant is Nov. 30, 2020 at 11:30 p.m. The program, administered by East Bay Economic Development Alliance (East Bay EDA), prioritizes grants for small, local, and emerging businesses within incorporated Alameda County. Grants are intended to assist businesses facing revenue losses and ongoing expenses for business impacts occurring between March 1, 2020, and December 30, 2020. “COVID has been devastating to so many sectors of our economy – particularly small businesses, which are the backbone of a thriving local community,” said District 5 Supervisor Keith Carson, who
District 5 Supervisor Keith Carson
also serves as chairman of East Bay EDA. “It is my hope that these grants will provide at least some relief to help our Alameda County businesses weather the storm a bit longer as we await a comprehensive national economic recovery plan from the incoming administration.” Eligible businesses can receive a one-time grant of $5,000. The grant does not require a matching contribution from the applicant and will not require repayment. Funds are limited and not everyone who applies is guaranteed to receive funding.

years. At present, a one-bedroom apartment in Oakland costs about $2,020 a month, about half of a beginner teacher’s salary, which is roughly $47,000 a year. “This teacher affordability pilot is addressing housing insecurity. It’s addressing the quality of teachers for our children, and it’s addressing the issue of teacher attraction and retention,” said r Schaaf, speaking at a press conference on Monday. OUSD Supt. Kyla Johnson-Trammel said, “As everyone knows, the Bay Area is one of the most expensive places in the country to live. For me, what this really represents is equity being operationalized and really understanding the root of what it takes to have a long-term commitment to having teachers of color in the district.” Brown said, “Anything that will help a few teachers be able to find afford-

We carefully prepare and take our time when cooking and serving our meals because we want our customers to come back for more.” “Our food is all about love for family, which includes my mom “Linda’s special potato salad,” and a (recipe for ribs) created by my late brother who passed in 2018,” added Carlos. “While growing up on 38th and Allendale, my family had to struggle, and people from this community helped us. This why it’s my responsibility to give back to the community and I feel blessed to be in a position to help others.” “This Thanksgiving, SmOakRing will be donating whole smoked briskets to people, as well as macaroni and cheese. And our Cheesecake Dreams, from my sister’s line of homemade desserts, will also be donated. We are delighted that 2 Star Market has welcomed us with open arms and made us one family.” Farouq Alawdi, manager of 2 Star Market, said he is excited to have SmOakRing help feed Oakland residents. “SmOakRing’s involvement in joining us this year is a tremendous support for our on-going annual celebration,” said Alawdi. “It is part of our fabric and dedication to the community who, without them, we wouldn’t be here. It’s our way of thanking the community for their support and for patronizing us. We look forward to doing this every year and the meals we provide on Thanksgiving are free so the only thing residents need to bring is an appetite.” For more information on the Community Celebration, contact 2 Star Market at 510-531-3576.
