Mayor Schaaf Releases Racial Disparity Study in Response to Black Community and Press Demands By Post Staff
When Mayor Libby Schaaf heard that a press conference was called for 10:00 a.m. Tuesday by a group of Black business and community leaders organized by the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce (OAACC), she hur-
riedly released the Race and Gender Disparity Study at the request of a local TV station by 11:00 a.m. OAACC called the press conference to support Councilmember Loren Taylor’s demand that the study, which was delivered to the city administration in February, be
released. The 2017 Race & Gender Disparity Study was conducted and prepared by Mason Tillman Associates. The results of the study are not expected to be a surprise – showing significant disparities facing African American contractors. Oakland’s 2018 Equity Indi-
cators Report found significant disparities in prime contracting between African Americans and their white counterparts, stating that, “white contractors received an average of $1,059,209 per contract which was 11.87 times the average of Continued on Page 10
Oakland City Council Members Call on Gov. Newsom to Select Barbara Lee to Replace Kamala Harris in U.S. Senate By Kimberly Jones
Oakland City Councilmembers Rebecca Kaplan, Noel Gallo, and Sheng Thao wrote an open letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday encouraging him to appoint Congresswoman Barbara Lee to the United States Senate as California’s representative. At the same time, Latinx leaders are urging the governor to break the glass ceiling and place a Latinx person in Harris’ seat, asserting among other things, that Latinx make up 40% of California’s population. The letter from Kaplan, Gallo and Thao tells Newsom that Lee has shown, both with her words and with her actions, a deep commitment to justice and a willingness to uplift truth and justice. “Lee is an experienced member of the Congress

and can easily transition into the U.S. Senate at a difficult time in history. We are living in a time that has shown that we
must recognize and honor the leadership of Black women,” the letter read. “We need someone who is
unafraid to confront wrongdoing and injustice, who can effectively build coalitions, and can help ensure that everyone in our communities has a voice and is respected in our nation’s decision-making process,” the councilmembers wrote. Kaplan is pleased to join together with others who are also similarly urging that Barbara Lee be selected as California’s next senator, including Cori Bush, the newly elected congresswoman from Missouri and Aimee Allison, Newsweek columnist and Founder of She the People. Bush, a nurse and former activist in the Black Lives Matter movement after Michael Brown was killed six years ago in Ferguson, Mo., has been calling for Lee to achieve high-
If you watched Monday Night Football last night, not only were you treated to Tom Brady catching a glorious L at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams but for the first time in the history of the NFL, we were treated to an all-Black officiating crew. Lead by OG-triple-OG Jerome Boger, who’s got 17 years in the game, the rest of the crew was rounded out by umpire Barry Anderson, side judge Anthony Jeffries, line judge Carl Johnson, down judge Julian Mapp, field judge Dale Shaw and back judge Greg Steed. It’s safe to assume our ancestors were proud. NBC News reports that when the officiating crew was put together last week, Troy Vincent, the NFL’s Executive Vice President of Football Op-

of Black officials to the game, their exemplary performance, and to the power of inclusion that is the hallmark of this great game.”
Linda Thomas-Greenfield has been tapped by Presidentelect Biden to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Her appointment is subject to confirmation by the U.S. Senate. Biden introduced her by saying: “America is back. Multilateralism is back. Diplomacy is back.” Thomas-Greenfield was born in Baker, Louisiana in 1952 and was the 18th Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs under Presidents Obama and Trump from 2013 to 2017. Prior to that she served as Director General of the United States Foreign Service and United States Ambassador to Liberia. Thomas-Greenfield com-
pleted her undergraduate education at Louisiana State University (at the same time as white Supremist/KKK leader David Duke) and her graduate degree at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She taught political science before joining the Foreign Service and serving for 35 years. Thomas-Greenfield was a volunteer member of the Biden presidential transition Agency Review Team. Thomas Greenfield said of her nomination via her Twitter account: “[i]n my thirty-five years in the Foreign Services across the world, I put a Cajun spin on it. I call it Gumbo diplomacy. Wherever I was posted, I’d invite people of all walks then make homemade gumbo. That’s how you break down barriers, connect, and see each other as humans.”

I don’t know about the hallmark, but let me mind my business. I will say that Vincent is at least partly correct, considering that out of 121 officials, the NFL currently has four Black referees and 40 Black game officials—which is a much higher dose of melanin than it has in its executive roles, coaching ranks, or other positions on prominence. “I am proud of my heritage and excited about my participation in this historic game,” Boger said in a statement. “The opportunity to work with a great group of Black officials and exhibit our proficiency in executing our assignment is something I am really looking forward to.” Some additional littleknown facts about last night were that not only was the officiating crew Blackity-Black, Continued on Page 10

Treva Reid, District 7, and Carroll Fife, District 3, are the two new City Councilmembers elected in November pledging to use the power and resources of local government to help Oaklanders turn a corner on the multiple, intertwined poverty-fueled crises that impact the city. Among the issues their top priorities for 2021 are rampant homelessness and housing insecurity for many thousands more. Reid, who is new to public office, formerly worked as a staff member for Assemblymember (now State Senator) Nancy Skinner. She notes that official homeless rates have increased by almost 50% from 2017-2019 and that 70% of those unhoused and unsheltered in Oakland are Black and primarily Black men. “My goals are strategic community-driven approaches to addressing some of the
challenges before us,” she said. “Many families can’t pay the rent, have been forced out of the market, and many homeowners are worried about losing their homes to predatory actors much like in the past recession….We must actually implement and fund policies that reflect that Black lives really matter,” Reid said. Below are some of her proposed solutions: • Examine the budget to reallocate funding to produce, protect, and preserve affordable housing; prioritize the use of public land and increase the Housing Trust Fund. •Fully utilize the three hotels leased in partnership with Alameda County and the state. Also, secure funding to purchase underutilized hotels and convert vacant property to provide housing. • Remove barriers and enforce policies to ensure resiContinued on Page 10

Newsom Issues Month-Long Learning Black History Year-Round Stay-At-Home Curfew Order Queen Califia: California Namesake or Legend? By Eli Walsh Bay City News Foundation
Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a month-long stay-at-home order Thursday intended to reduce nighttime gatherings and limit the spread of the coronavirus. The order will require nonessential work and gatherings to stop from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in counties assigned to the “purple” tier, the most-restrictive tier in the state’s pandemic reopening system. A total of 41 counties are in the purple tier as of Monday, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, Sonoma, Solano, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. According to Newsom, the order will begin Saturday and

Newsom first floated the possibility of a curfew order on Monday when the state moved more than two dozen counties into the purple tier due to rising coronavirus case rates and hospitalizations across the state. Dr. Mark Ghaly, secretary of the state’s Health and Human Services Department, said the state chose to issue a curfew to prevent the need for further, even tighter restrictions. “We’ve seen in the past that COVID goes from zero to 60 mph very quickly,” he said during a briefing on the new stayat-home order, adding that “all tools are on the table.” Ghaly suggested that issuing a curfew would discourage state residents engaging in higher-risk, late-night activiContinued on page 8

Some poets and professors of medieval literature recognize Queen Califia as a part of California’s early history; a woman who ruled an island nation where gold was the only metal. She’s been romanticized in the prose of great writers such as Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo, who, in 1500, wrote about a mythical island named California, populated by Black women with “beautiful and robust bodies … without a single man among them” in his novel “Las Sergas de Esplandián” (The Adventures of Esplandián). Montalvo’s island is named for its queen, Califia. In it, she is described as a Moor and a pagan. Califia’s mission is to develop an army of women warriors. Together, riding on griffins, they join a Muslim battle against Christians defending Constantinople. But

the army only meets defeat. Despite the Amazonian army’s inability to conquer, Queen Califia remains a true legend in the hearts of many. In time, Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés, a fan of romance novels, would name the state of California for the Amazon queen. According to historian John William Templeton, “Califia is

a part of California history, and she also reinforces the fact that when Cortes named this place California, he had 300 Black people with him.” Templeton served as curator of the Queen Califia exhibit assembled by the African American Historical and Cultural Society Museum in San Francisco in 2004. He described the exhibit as a “part of a larger story that Africans were seen by Europeans as being culturally advanced in the 15th century. Even Columbus had a Black navigator.” Yet, there are still some who subscribe to the theory claimed in historical documents that California was named for the Latin word Calida Fornax, meaning “hot furnace” or kali forno, an indigenous phrase meaning “high mountains.” The90origin100of the state’s name 75 being tied to Queen Califia, a Moor, for them is no more than a rumor.

Cal NAACP Announces New Leader to Replace Outgoing Pres. Alice Huffman By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media
Effective December 1, Alice Huffman will no longer serve as president of the CaliforniaHawaii State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) due to “health concerns,” she told California Black Media. Rick Callender, former president of the San Jose-Silicon Valley NAACP and current CEO of the Santa Clara Water District, has been appointed to the position and will assume duties the day Huffman’s term expires. In a written statement, Huffman first alerted the organization’s executive members of her intentions to vacate the office she has led for over two decades. “Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your president since 1999. It has been a pleasure to serve with you, but all good things must come to an end. Due to health concerns, I tender my resignation as president effective Dec. 1, 2020,” Huffman stated in her letter to members of the executive committee. Huffman, who isn’t shy about sharing trials she has overcome in her life --- including that she is a high school dropout -- leaves the position of president after most recently being an outspoken supporter of multiple California 2020 election ballot initiatives, among them: Prop. 15, Prop. 21, Prop. 22 and Prop. 25. The initiatives, most of them avidly backed or hotly contested by voters and policy makers, focused on a range of issues. From amending the state’s property tax system (Prop. 15)

and rent control (Prop. 21) to the reclassification, under the state’s labor law, of app-based drivers and an increase to the minimum wage (Prop. 22), the initiatives put Huffman in the crosshairs of groups that opposed her positions. She sometimes found herself at odds with powerful African American political organizations, including the California Democratic Party Black Caucus on some of her positions. In a written statement issued November 20, Callender said he looks forward to filling the position left by his mentor, Huffman. “Huffman has been one of the strongest NAACP leaders in the country and has truly accomplished a lot for African Americans and people of color in California, Hawaii, and across the nation,” Callender said. “She leaves very
big shoes to fill, and I look forward to leading the CaliforniaHawaii State Conference of the NAACP starting December 1. It has been a true honor to serve as her vice president on her leadership team for 19 years.” Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the largest and oldest civil rights organization in the country. There are more than 2,200 units and branches across the nation. The NAACP states that its mission is to “secure the political, educational, social and economic equality of rights in an effort to eliminate racebased discrimination.” It also works to ensure the health and well-being of all persons of color, its website says. Huffman was elected president of the California-Hawaii NAACP Conference in 1999 and has won eight-consecutive Continued on page 8

Women Leaders on Sen. Harris Replacement: CSU Board Votes to Place Burden of Ethnic “One Is Not Enough, Zero Is Unacceptable.” Studies Requirement on Community Colleges By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media
The California Democratic Party Black Caucus (CDP Black Caucus) joined hands with other women organizations this past weekend. Their goal: to turn up the pressure on California Gov. Gavin Newsom to appoint a Black woman to replace outgoing Sen. Kamala Harris in the U.S. Senate. During the virtual “Keep The Seat” news conference, which representatives from the National Organization for Women (NOW) and Black Women United (BWU) attended, the organizers explained why Gov. Newsom should appoint a Black woman. They also gave reasons why he should narrow his options to U.S. Representatives Karen Bass (D-CA-37) and Barbara Lee (D-CA-13). “This is a pivotal time in California history. I hope together we can bend the moral arc of history towards justice, together, by ensuring that the most underrepresented and marginalized community retain a significant representation in California by appointing a Black woman to replace Kamala Harris,” said Taisha Brown, chairperson of the CDP Black Caucus. Brown continued, “Our call is for all of you to join us in saying to Gavin Newsom, our governor, that we are not going to accept anything but a Black woman. I think it’s critical that we emphasize that.” Currently there are three African Americans serving in the United States Senate. Two of them are men (Cory Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey, and Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina). Harris, the junior Senator from California, is the only African

American woman with a seat in the upper house of the United States Congress. But with Harris’s imminent ascendency to the Vice Presidency of the United States, there will be no African American woman in the US Senate after Jan. 20, 2021. In response, the CDP Black Caucus has put out a call to action under the slogan “One is not enough, and zero is unacceptable.” “We have a Thanksgiving message for Gov. Gavin Newsom. Our goal is to have 250 every day until Thanksgiving. We need you to speak up. Make a call and let Gov. Newsom know that Black women have been the backbone of the Democratic Party as voters, organizers, and we deserve representation in the United States Senate,” said Kendra Lewis, a representative for the CDP Black Caucus. Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University Long Beach, was also one of the “Keep The Seat” speakers. Karenga, who is also the founder of the annual spiritual and cultural celebration Kwanzaa, said he “stands strong” with the CDP Black Caucus’s push to keep a Black woman from California in the U.S. Senate. “First of all, no one is more qualified than the two women mentioned -- Bass and Lee. It’s not a gift. It’s recognition over-
due. It’s also a service to the Democratic party. Black women have been the backbone of this party. So, it is debt owed to them,” he said. Over the weekend, several top women Democratic Party donors in California also urged Newsom to select a woman of color. About 150 of them have placed a letter in full-page ads in two newspapers -- the LA Times in Southern California and the San Francisco Chronicle in Northern California -making their request known to Newsom. “Women of color are the core drivers of electoral progress in our country, and their voices should be heard in the nation’s highest governing body. California is fortunate to have a strong pipeline of women of color in elected office who are prepared to serve; as Californians and political supporters, we look forward to you selecting one of them,” the letter read. The California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) and other Black leaders in the state have also called on Gov. Newsom to fill the seat with an African American woman. The CLBC members also sent a letter to Gov. Newsom making their case for why Bass and Lee should be at the top of his shortlist of candidates. They cited the women’s lengthy legislative experience Continued on page 8

California State University took another step toward requiring students to take an ethnic studies class as part of their lower-division coursework, a move that would also have significant implications for the state’s 115 degree-granting community colleges. During the 23-campus system’s Board of Trustees meeting on November 20, the educational policy committee voted 9-2 to make a minor amendment to a policy approved in July that would have required students to take a course in ethnic studies or a class with a social justice component. To comply with AB 1460, a new law requiring students to take a class in ethnic studies, the amended policy stipulates that students must complete the requirement by taking a class in one of four ethnic studies disciplines: Native American studies, African American studies, Asian American studies or Latina and Latino studies. A class deemed to have a social justice component that falls outside those disciplines would not fulfill the requirement. The Board did not make revisions to the policy requested by faculty, who want greater control over implementing the new requirement. Faculty groups called on the Board to establish that the class could be fulfilled as either an upper- or lower-division course, but the trustees did not take that step on Novemeber 17. Now, students are likely to be required to complete the class in the first half of their coursework. Because many students take those lower-division classes at community college before receiving an associate degree and transferring to CSU as part of a
Alison Wrynn, CSU’s associate vice chancellor of academic programs.
specialized pathway, it would shift the responsibility to community colleges to offer ethnic studies to those students. That would be a significant financial burden to those colleges, many of which don’t currently offer any ethnic studies classes. The CSU chancellor’s office says it is still finalizing the implementation plan for the new class and has not officially determined that it will be a lower-division class. However, Michael Uhlenkamp, a spokesman for the chancellor’s office, said in a statement to EdSource that “it is our preference to have the requirement be a lower-level” requirement. “We are hoping to have that guidance to share with the campuses in the next few weeks,” he added. CSU faculty groups want individual campuses to have greater flexibility over how to implement the requirement and do not want to restrict students to taking the class in their lower-division coursework. CSU’s Academic Senate, the official body representing faculty on system-wide issues, last week passed a resolution urging the Board of Trustees and the chancellor’s office to revise the proposal and establish that the requirement could be met as an
upper- or lower-division class. The chancellor’s office argues that it would not make sense to give campuses autonomy for implementing AB 1460. “Unlike a campus requirement, a system requirement must be consistent across the 23 campuses,” Alison Wrynn, CSU’s associate vice chancellor of academic programs, said during the meeting. If the class is indeed implemented as a lower-division requirement, it would create significant costs for the state’s community colleges that offer associate degrees. Students who transfer to a CSU campus from community college as part of the Associate Degree for Transfer pathway are required to complete those requirements at community college. About 14,000 students transferred to a CSU campus on that pathway this fall. Aisha Lowe, the community college system’s vice-chancellor of educational services and support, previously told EdSource that it would cost up to $45 million in new spending for the system to offer the required courses to those students. Most of that spending would be to hire new faculty. Lowe estimated that about 40 colleges currently do not offer any ethnic studies classes, and said that those that do will likely need to offer more of those classes to satisfy all students. The law goes into effect beginning with students graduating from CSU in 2025. That means that students who enter college next fall will be the first class subjected to the requirement. For those students to be able to complete the requirement by their second year of college, the community college system would need to have the ethnic studies classes available by Fall 2022.

Contra Costa County Declares Newsom Issues Month-Long Racism a Public Health Crisis Stay-At-Home Curfew Order By Post Staff
During a virtual meeting on Nov. 10, the Contra Costa County board of supervisors declared racism a health crisis and unanimously approved establishing an office of “racial equity and social justice.” Board Chair Candace Anderson acknowledged that COVID-19 disproportionately affects Black and Latinx folks and that these disparities existed prior to the pandemic. Supervisor John Gioia said “[a] perfect example occurred to me. Many years ago, the health department found a higher rate of breast cancer among . . . {Black} women in various age groups. As a result of that, the health department initiated a program to address that and found it was really about earlier screenings.” Gioia and Supervisor Federal Glover have raised $250,000 from community groups to help budget the “racial equity and social justice” office. Glover said: “[t]he killings

we have seen take place over the years – and the death of George Floyd – have brought to the attention of a nation the racism and inequities that take place within ou - - - justice system.” Glover added: “[i]t’s important we take a strong look at what’s taken place with our employment her at the county level, and to maybe be a light and to show people we are the leaders, that we are making a
difference in society as a whole because it’s very reflective of our demographics here in Contra Costa.” No date has been given when the office will launch with three staff members, the resolution states it’s mission is to “eliminate inequity, harm, discrimination and bias”. The office will cultivate an “ecosystem rooted in belonging, mutuality, equity and justice.” The resolution also states: [t]he need to change is urgent . . . . And the opportunity for change is now.” The city of Oakland established a Department of Race and Equity in 2016, San Francisco established the Office of Racial Equity in 2019 and on November 4, the city of Martinez established the Anti-Racism and Discrimination and Pro-Inclusion and Diversity Task Force. The full resolution can be found on our website at the end of this story: PostNewsGroup. com.

ties like going to a taproom or restaurant, even with restrictions limiting seating to only outdoors. Preventing such actions, he said, could save the lives of people who may be more vulnerable to developing serious complications from contracting the virus. “Maybe you’re a worker who’s out at night with a group of friends, outdoors even, and you contract COVID and then you go the next day to work and it is passed on, maybe not the next day but a day or two later, to a vulnerable resident in a congregate care facility,” he said. “Exactly the situation we
want to avoid.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently endorsed the potential use of a curfew to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Fauci, asked about the potential of a curfew on Tuesday while receiving an award from San Jose State University, said conditions can vary from county to county and city to city, but that he supported the general premise. “You don’t like to be very prescriptive,” he said. “But, sometimes when you’re dealing with the seriousness of the
situation right now, I leave it up to the good judgment of the leaders of your states and your cities to make that (decision).” Ghaly said the state’s decision to issue the month-long curfew had more to do with the state’s current surge in cases rather than the potential for large gatherings during Thanksgiving and other upcoming holidays. “In many ways, the days and weeks to come will be different than in years past,” he said. “And, in order for us to do the best we can with controlling this virus, we’re going to have to keep our guard up, make some tough choices.”
In a written statement, explained her decision in full detail to California Black Media on November 20. She revealed that stepping down is a decision that she has been grappling with for over a year now.
“With the victory at the top of the ticket to securing our African American leaders in the state of California, I can say ‘mission accomplished’ and now take a well-deserved rest,” she said.

“California” remains a subject of great debate. The myth of Queen Califia was once a secret held by poets and some rebels. But this changed during Disneyland’s 2001 renovation. In its California Adventure Park, a mural depicting Califia was painted. Inside the park’s theater, “Golden Dreams,” a brief wide-screen film, presents actress Whoopi Goldberg’s voice as Califia, the queen of California. After this exposure, Queen Califia, for many, became a symbol to the new multicul-
tural California. Despite the debate over the origin of the name “California,” Queen Califia remains important as a symbol, her spirit echoing in modern-day paintings, sculptures and films. A seven-foot-high panel of Califia with her Amazons stands at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco. A depiction of Califia, “The Naming of California,” graces the fourth floor in the Senate Rules Committee Hearing Chamber in Sacramento. Califia’s influence remains and cannot be denied.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee,
beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 9390772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-0805. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective 1/1/2021 you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 2020-0805 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Stay Home for the Holidays: Gov. Newsom Tightens COVID-19 Rules By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media
As COVID-19 case numbers climb, California has imposed tighter restrictions and ordered a ordered a statewide mask mandate, while advising residents to stay home. Out of the 58 California counties, 41 are now at the state’s most restrictive, or purple, tier, including Alameda, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties. On November 20, the governor announced a curfew between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. in 41 counties. It will affect more than 90% of Californians, but he stopped short of reissuing a statewide shelter-in-place order. “The virus is spreading at a pace we haven’t seen since the start of this pandemic and the next several days and weeks will be critical to stop the surge. We are sounding the alarm,” Newsom said in a statement. “It is crucial that we act to decrease transmission and slow hospitalizations before the death count surges.” Earlier in the week, Newsom announced a stricter mandate that requires wearing a mask “statewide at all times when outside of the home” by everyone over age two. The new restrictions are in response to the recent COVID-19 case surge, the “fastest increase we’ve seen since the start of the pandemic,” according to Newsom. Nationwide, COVID-19 cases hit 12 million on November 21, an increase of nearly 1 million over the previous week. More than 250,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 so far. “Every age group, every racial demographic, in every part of the state we are seeing case rates increase and positivity rates increase as well. It is no longer concentrated

in just a handful of counties. We are seeing community spread broadly throughout the state of California,” Newsom said during a news briefing Monday. Public health and government officials have recently shifted their messaging to warning the public about the spread of COVID-19 in the winter months, as families consider whether to gather for the holidays. On November 13, Newsom issued a travel advisory warning to California residents discouraging travel out of the state for any nonessential reason, including the Thanksgiving holiday, and recommending a 14-day quarantine for anyone who does travel. Newsom also shared the number of current COVID-19 hospitalizations in California, which has climbed 48% over the past two weeks to reach 3,800 as of November 15. Of those, more than 1,000 people were in intensive care. Black and Brown communities including East Oakland and East Los Angeles are still hotspots – and the case numbers are climbing. Dr. Beverly Tambe is a primary doctor at Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital in East Los Angeles who recently appeared in a USA Facts Ad to talk about the realities of treating patients during the COVID-19
pandemic. In a conversation with California Black Media, Tambe spoke about the struggles of treating a virus whose full impact healthcare professionals have yet to determine. Over the past nine months of treating COVID-19 patients, Tambe has seen a variety of situations with her patients. They range from those who recover in a couple of days, to those who were previously admitted to the hospital at the beginning of the pandemic and still come in for outpatient treatment for decreased lung or heart function. She emphasizes that the effects of COVID-19 vary from patient to patient. “We have a standardized treatment regimen for patients that come into the hospital, depending on the severity. We’ve got a whole algorithm that we follow, but even with the algorithm and these treatments, some patients get better and some just don’t. We have patients that we’re doing everything for and they’re not getting better,” she said. Tambe also shared her concerns about the upcoming winter season and whether case numbers will continue to increase. She recommended against gathering in large groups. She also emphasized that people at least take the basic safety
precautions, including wearing a mask and washing their
hands regularly, to protect themselves and those around

them. “There’s a 14-day incubation period with the disease. So even though you feel fine, one day you could travel or meet in a large group, and still be carrying the disease.

Organizations Ask Oakland Rent Board to Reid and Fife Pledge Action in Strengthen Tenant Protection Regulations 2021 on Housing, Homelessness By Zack Haber
A coalition of 10 different organizations have asked Oakland’s Rent Adjustment Program (RAP) to amend proposed regulations to the Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO) in an effort to make replacing vacating roommates and filling extra space in rental units easier for tenants. “In Oakland, tenants already have one-to-one replacement rights,” said Jackie Zaneri, a tenant attorney with ACCE Action, a grassroots organization that is leading the push to amend current proposed TPO regulations. “So if you have three roommates, and one of them moves out, you already have the right to bring in someone else. In practice, this right was difficult to enforce because there were not very good rules about when your landlord could just reject a new person.” But City Council has amended the TPO recently. On July 14, 2020, they approved additional language in the Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance that made it easier for tenants to accept new housemates or roommates. The new language states that “a landlord shall not en-
Tenants living in The Vulcan Lofts, an artist live / work near Fruitvale that has over 200 rental units, say that many who live there are not recognized by their landlord as tenants, which makes needed repairs and maintenance difficult or impossible to secure.

deavor to recover possession of a rental unit if the landlord has unreasonably refused a written request by the tenant to add such occupant(s) to the unit.” Other language the Council added specified that landlords cannot reject the written request to add occupants based on “the proposed additional occupant’s lack of creditworthiness, if that person will not be legally obligated to pay some or all of the
rent to the landlord.” The language helps most tenants in their ability to take in new roommates without those roommates having to prove creditworthiness to their landlord. It protects tenants who want to pool money together and have one tenant pay rent as well as people who want to take in family members or friends who are unemployed.
Taylor called for the release of the study and the immediate implementation of remedies to address the identified disparities, especially those included in his Local Business Empowerment Through Contracting (LBETC) legislation which will be considered by the City Council on December 15. Developers Michael Baines and Alan Dones said the City’s failure to release and implement the remedies needed to advance Black businesses was “adversely impacting the health and wealth of the Black community” George Holland, Sr., Oakland’s NAACP president said, “We need the City Council to receive the Race and Gender Disparity Study to have documentary evidence of what we all know is obvious, there has been racial and gender bias in
the awarding of Oakland City contracts.” NAACP Oakland Secretary Antoinette Clark said A “The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. We have been dealing with these kinds of issues of discrimination for many years. What is crucial in rectifying the disparity issue to create equity, is accuracy and content. Having ALL information that is pertinent to rectify the issue. Thus, we ask that the report be released.” Adams announced that her organization and members of the group would continue to monitor the city’s progress on their implementation plans to remedy the racial disparities. According to Oakland Post Publisher Paul Cobb, who
There are some exceptions, such as units not covered under Just Cause and tenants who have already signed on to lease terms that prevent adding new roommates. For many Oakland tenants, newly added language also allows them to add tenants beyond just replacing roommates, allowing for adding roommates to the total already living in a rental unit as long as that total does not exceed capacity limits set by the Council. These capacity limits are: “two persons in a studio unit, three persons in a one-bedroom unit, four persons in a two-bedroom unit, six persons in a three-bedroom unit, eight persons in a four-bedroom unit; or, the maximum number permitted under state law and/ or local codes.” Oakland’s Rent Adjustment Program has created proposed regulations to determine how the newly added language will be enforced, but ACCE, along with tenant unions and organizations that advocate for tenant rights, are calling for the proposed regulations to be changed to protect tenants more.

Mayor Schaaf Releases Racial Disparity Study Continued from page 1
African American contractors ($89,191).” Cathy Adams, president of the OAACC, who recently received national acclaim for raising more than $1 million to support Black businesses that have been adversely impacted by the COVID19 pandemic, now realizes that her leadership has enlarged her organization’s role and advocacy as a “trusted messenger” that can spark a positive movement for business and employment advances for Blacks, women-owned businesses and other ethnic business organizations. Adams invoked the memory of the late civil rights leaders U.S. Rep. John Lewis, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mississippi’s Fannie Lou Hamer before she introduced Taylor.
spoke at the press conference, “Mayor Schaaf appears to be trying to spruce up her credentials on the race and equity issues to win favor from Gov. Gavin Newsom since the successful run of Sen. Kamala Harris as vice president will create a vacancy for her seat.” Cobb further asserted that Schaaf was trying to avoid the same embarrassment scenario that plagued former Mayor Pete Buttigieg when the Black community in South Bend, Ind., challenged his record on racial disparity. Between KGO TV’s request and the OAACC, Schaaf, who had previously diverted attention from the City Council’s calls for the release of the study, hastily released the study to avoid negative media scrutiny, Cobb said.

er office since July, actually wishing she could be president. In a column on November 18, Allison said: “Over the course of her career, she has built a strong and consistent record and brought together people from different ideologies, socioeconomic and racial backgrounds,” Allison wrote. Local Latinx leaders in Southern California held a press conference on Novem-
ber 19 saying there are many qualified Latinx for Newsom to choose from, including State Attorney General Becerra who replaced Harris when she was elected to the U.S. Senate. Chula Vista Mayor Mary Salas is one of the local leaders who spoke on Thursday in hopes of swaying Newsom in favor of a Latino senator. “It’s only through having representation that represents the demographics of this state
that we will get equity,” Salas said. Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez voiced similar sentiments. “We are a larger group than any other demographic in California. But even with those numbers we have never held the title of U.S. Senator in California, despite the fact that California itself used to be Mexico,” Gonzalez said. “You think of a place where a Latino or Latina should represent the
state in Washington D.C., it’s definitely California.” Similar calls to action were held in Fresno and Sacramento, and more are planned in Los Angeles and San Jose.

Three California Black Women-Owned Businesses Get Boosts from Facebook Investments By Tanu Henry California Black Media
Facebook is making investments in different efforts to address the gathering storm of social and economic problems facing America, particularly the ones hitting African Americans with unequal force. Through two communityfocused initiatives, the Menlo Park-based tech company is shoring up three California businesses owned by Black women with mentoring and promotional opportunities. “COVID-19 is impacting all businesses. But Black businesses are closing at a faster rate than all other businesses,” said Erica Woods, State Public Policy manager at Facebook. Woods was forthcoming about the company’s new #BuyBlack-

Friday campaign. According to Woods, #BuyBlackFriday is Facebook’s “holiday program that redirects the energy of Black Friday to encourage consumers to sup-
port Black-owned businesses throughout the holiday season.” Woods says the campaign features 60 Black-owned businesses from around the United States. Two of them are based
in California -- both owned by Black women in the Los Angeles Area: Amethyst Soul Home, which makes scented candles and Gracemade, a clothing and accessory company. “I am elated for the opportunity for more people to experience SouLuxe Amber Noirscented coconut wax candles and fill their homes with a sultry fusion of warm amber, sandalwood, jasmine and mandarin,” scents said Jillene Williams, owner of Amethyst Soul Home. Jasmine Rennie, who owns Gracemade, says she’s excited that more women – not only in California, but around the world – are being introduced to her “faith-driven” brand that designs modest but fashion-forward apparel, including a bestselling jumpsuit. “A lot of women want clothes

dents with criminal records can access secure permanent housing. • Change restrictive zoning to allow churches and places of worship to build low-income homes and affordable units on their property. • Expedite completion of 25 tiny homes being prepared to house young adults in District 7. • More city-owned land for RV parking/shelter locations • Pass and enforce laws to protect tenants from illegal evictions and advocate for programs to prevent homeowners from foreclosures. • Launch the City of Oakland’s NOFA (Notice of Available Funding) to help fund a pipeline of new multifamily affordable housing. • Advocate for tax abatements, increased federal and state funding for permanent subsidized low-income housing and affordable homeownership programs. While new to the City Council, Fife has spent years at council meetings and organizing in neighborhoods, demanding affordable housing, fighting against displacement and pressuring banks and corporations to block housing foreclosures. She is the director of the Oakland office for the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE). She recently won national attention as a leader with Moms 4 Housing, a group of women who occupied a vacant home in West Oakland last year that was owned by a real estate investment firm. “In order to halt the tsunami of homelessness that is sweeping Oakland and other areas, we need to keep people from becoming homeless in the first place,” she said. “Once they become homeless, it’s a lot harder to get them into adequate housing. This means stronger local and state laws protecting renters, “pushing back against companies that are trying to get as much money as they can” from their properties. The community has to demand to protect renters after the moratorium on rents expire, she said. People are going to need protections to keep from losing their homes. “In the 2008 crisis, we saw what happened. We can’t let that happen again,” Fife said. “Homeowners became renters, and many renters became homeless. The banks were bailed out. People need a bailout to prevent homelessness,” she said. Recently, West Coast political leaders signed a letter calling for a federal bailout. ACCE was part of that. The city needs a tough public land policy, Fife believes. “There should not be any sale of public land to private developers, unless it is to house the homeless,” she said. “There should also be an audit of every empty space of and every empty parcel of public land so everyone can shelter in place,” she said. “That’s what is right for our overall health and safety during this public health crisis. Fife pointed out that Oakland is the largest city in the county but does not receive from the county the investment that it needs in terms of resources, programs and funding. If we understand that “housing is a human right,” said Fife, “we must understand” that housing can no longer be sold as an unregulated commodity or traded by speculators. “Speculations hurt residents,” Fife said in an interview on KQED FM “Speculation harms entire communities and entire neighborhoods. When people are engaged in buying up residential property for the sole purpose of flipping it and making as much money as they can, then that leaves out an entire group of individuals who cannot compete in that type of market.”

but so is every coordinator on the Tampa Bay Bucs. While the Rams played a key role in reintegrating the league in 1946, according to USA Today: “Tampa Bay is the first team in league history with three Black coordinators in Todd Bowles (defense), Byron Leftwich (offense) and Keith Armstrong (special teams), in addition to two female assistant coaches on Bruce Arians’ staff in Lori Locust (assistant defensive line) and Maral Javadifar (assistant strength and conditioning). “The Rams were the first NFL team to reintegrate in 1946 after a 12-year color ban, signing running back Kenny Washington and receiver Woodie Strode, which coincided with the Cleveland Browns, then of the All-American Conference, adding fullback Marion Motley and guard Bill Willis.” The only thing missing from the game was collard greens in the concession stands. As much as I hate that we’re still celebrating firsts for our people in 2020, shoutout to Boger and the rest of the crew for continuing the legacy of Burl Toler—the first Black official in any major sport, who was hired by the NFL in 1965—by making history Monday night. Editor’s Note: Burl Toler attended the University of San Francisco as did Aaron Elton Pointer, the second Black official in the NFL and a sibling of the Pointer sisters that don’t reveal too much but are still trendy, stylish and beautiful. This program will help us reach so many of them and provide the clothing that fits their lifestyles,” Rennie said. Facebook is inviting all Black businesses across the country to use the hashtag #BuyBlackFriday to support their businesses, beginning now and particularly the day after Thanksgiving when the holiday shopping season unofficially kicks off. Gracemade and Amethyst Soul Home will both be featured on a show as well on the digital platform’s Black Voices page. “Small businesses are the backbone of our products,” Woods said. “So many busi-
nesses have used our platforms to connect with their audiences. We found that the pandemic was closing doors, that impacts us as well. So, we want to support businesses and make sure that they flourish and grow.” Earlier this month, the biggest social media platform in the world also announced that it has invited the African Americanowned Black Voice News in Riverside as well as 19 other local news publishers from around the United States to participate in the Facebook Journalism Project Sustainability Accelerator Program.
