Alameda County Grand Jury Report Cites Probate Conservatorship Cries Out for Reform

Last week, the Alameda County Grand Jury released Probate Advocate Venus Gist its final report on the Alamsays “Alameda County needs eda County Probate Court and a radical transformation in the found numerous deficiencies way legal defense services are that have been criticized by probate reform groups for deprovided.”

The Grand Jury found that: • Probate Court staff is severely overworked and understaffed.

• The Public Defender’s office has no monitoring system to ascertain the service it renders to beneficiaries to assure their needs are addressed.

• Guardians are not provided

• There is no formal grievance process.

• Beneficiaries who are poor do not get the same level of service as those with means.

• Involuntary conservatorship can drain estates quickly because of lack of oversight.

The Grand Jury report has given hope to probate reform

advocates, who have been protesting these deficiencies for years with little or no success.

Spectrum Institute has been calling for Probate Court reform for eight years, especially in regard to beneficiaries with disabilities.

“The report of the Grand Jury sends a signal to the Alameda County Board of Su-

pervisors that the status quo of unnecessary and overreaching conservatorships must end,” said Spectrum Institute Director Tom Coleman. “In terms of the responsibility to stop conservatorship abuses, the buck stops with the Board of Supervisors.’

13-Year-Old Girl Becomes Youngest Person Accepted into Medical School

Rethinking Our Safety Commentary

By Greg Hodge

When National Night Out began 38 years ago, the organizers hoped to promote police-community partnerships in efforts to make neighborhoods safer. Coming up on Aug. 2, the event will bring Oaklanders together who long for camaraderie and connections.

Needless to say, in some communities — especially those comprised of folks of color — past and ongoing harm from policing continues to erode trust. Its origins as Indian constables, slave patrols, abuses of power, and subsequent failure to acknowledge such abuse may make it difficult for some to build meaningful cooperation.

The state-sponsored violence that killed George Floyd in 2020 and countless others is still too longstanding and fresh in our collective memories to ignore.

Like many things, we have reshaped the original purpose of National Night Out to serve our needs. For some, the event is an opportunity to connect with neighbors alongside those charged with protecting and serving us. Getting past the Continued on Page 10

Getting into medical school is no small feat, but imagine doing it at just 13 years old.

While most 13-year-olds are heading to high school, Alena Analeigh Wicker has made history by becoming the young-

est Black person — and the youngest person ever — to get accepted into medical school.

“Today I’m just grateful. I graduated high school last year at 12 years old and here I am one year later I’ve been accepted into Med School at 13,” Wicker wrote on Instagram last

week. “Statistics would have said I never would have made it. A little Black girl adopted from Fontana, California. I’ve worked so hard to reach my goals and live my dreams.”

Black Lives Don’t Matter to the Oakland City Council

By Elaine Brown, Former Black Panther leader

One minute ago, “Black Lives Mattered” to Oaklanders. Now we’ve fallen back into the comfort of not worrying about black people at all.

Tuesday’s debacle at the City Council meeting demonstrated that. Here was Rebecca Kaplan stating that the issue of racism against Blacks in the City’s contracting policies and practices exposed by the 2019 Race and Gender Disparity Study were not the point of the item recommending a language change in the contractor compliance order before them.

Yet racism involving Blacks

was the point!

The study revealed and documented that only Black contractors have been discrim-

inated against by the contracting policies and practices of the City of Oakland. The proposed language change would minimally alleviate this discrimination. But Kaplan’s motion dominated the matter and advised the Council that the issue was “local” contracting — as if there were enough Blacks left in Oakland to constitute a significant “local” population, the Black population having been reduced to only 23% of Oakland.

What was so galling was that those who opportunistically aligned themselves with Kaplan’s alternate proposal, and were ignorant of the proContinued on Page 10

With Hopes of Settlement Appearing to Be Over, Coal is Back on the Table in Oakland Will Coal Trains ‘reign supreme’ again through West Oakland?

By Paul Cobb

The battle over coal in Oakland rages on, with the developer of the Oversize Bulk Commodity Terminal — slated for construction at the former Oakland Army Base — announcing their plans to reopen litigation due the City’s failure to respond to settlement negotiations.

There was much fanfare in February when Oakland City Attorney Barbara Parker declared in a press release on Feb. 2, 2022, “having agreed to

the key terms of the settlement framework, the parties will immediately proceed to craft the terms of a settlement agreement …”

Mayor Libby Schaaf double downed the next day by announcing “the fight against coal in Oakland has been won,” in her Feb. 3, Weekly Newsletter.

But, the developer, Insight Terminal Solutions, told the court on July 13, 2022, that “by April 18, 2022, they had prepared and circulated a draft settlement agreement for review

and comment by the city,” but that the city never responded in good faith.

On July 27, Parker responded by restating “that the City of

Oakland agrees to a settlement framework to resolve lawsuits regarding the 66-year ground lease of the West Gateway of the Former Oakland Army Base for a Bulk Commodity Terminal,” This is the same statement she made in a February press release.

The problem then and now according to the developer is that the city has not actually engaged in good faith efforts to settle. That is why the developer’s announced that they have restarted legal proceedings and withdrawn from settlement discussions.

Wilson Riles was 73 years old when he was brutally arrested by Oakland police in 2019.

Wilson Riles Jr., Former City Council Member, Settles Police Brutality Lawsuit for $360,000

By Ken Epstein

The Oakland City Council has approved a $360,000 settlement with former City Councilmember Wilson Riles Jr., who filed a lawsuit alleging that the city and Oakland Police Department violated his civil rights for throwing him facedown to the ground and arresting him when he went to a city office to complain about a zoning issue.

A City Councilmember from 1979 to 1992, Riles was 73 when the incident occurred in 2019. He filed a federal lawsuit in 2020, represented by Oakland civil rights attorney Walter Riley.

Riles was arrested at the city’s Zoning Department as he expressed his frustration about the ongoing obstacles thrown in his path in a years-long dispute with staff of the city’s Planning Department over the use of a sweat lodge to conduct Native American ceremonies in the backyard of the house where he and his wife live in Oakland.

He said the arrest occurred after he told a Zoning Department employee that the building permit they wanted and other requirements they were demanding of him were not part of the building code. He Continued on Page 10

Blocking Change: City Council Ended the Emerald New Deal

By Richard Johnson

When the city council voted to end the hopes of the Emerald New Deal (END), which was designed to use some of the massive legal cannabis profits to give hope and a new beginning of support for many of those who were imprisoned for using cannabis when it was considered illegal, it became clear that some backdoor shenanigans have once again darkened the progression of bringing growth, prosperity, and new developments to the formerly incarcerated population.

This obvious gut punch clearly demonstrates that most of the City council members lack the fortitude to side with those returning home from prison.

Some of our elected officials are following an old pattern of political doublespeak by saying the right things about what

Liberian Presidential Candidate Tiawan Learning Black History Year-Round Marshall ‘Major’ Taylor, Superstar Gongloe Makes Visit to Bay Area

Cyclist Dubbed the ‘Black Cyclone’

By Uche J. Uwahemu

Liberian presidential candidate attorney Tiawan Saye Gongloe is making a tour of the United States to gather support for his vision of a corruptionfree Liberia.

Beginning May 12, Gongloe visited several cities across the U.S., touching base with centers of the Liberian Diaspora, including the Bay Area, where approximately 10,000 Liberians live.

Known as the ‘poor man’s lawyer’ because he has helped protect the rights of the poor and journalists, Gongloe has participated in several meetand-greets, Town Halls and high-level meetings with government officials, business and community leaders from Atlanta, Ga., to Columbus, Ohio, to Fargo, N.D., and Minneapolis, Minn.

The Oakland Post publisher Paul Cobb, Nigerian natives Uche Uwahemu, and Kayode Gbadebo sat down with Gongloe and some of his supporters at the Post’s downtown headquarters to discuss his vision for Liberia on July 13, 2022.

Friends of Gongloe Global, a group formed and dedicated to electing Gongloe to president of Liberia organized his California visit, which included a stop in Antioch. Group member and long-time Liberian civil rights activist Lovetta Tugbe could not contain her enthusiasm and support for Gongloe. “Attorney Gongloe exemplifies what a true public servant is about. He has for decades fought for all Liberians and has on many occasions almost paid with his life. He is the candidate for any Liberian that believes in freedom.”

For decades, Liberia has been plagued by corruption and insecurity. Gongloe sees no end to the suffering and lack of opportunities for the majority of the population. So, he was compelled to run for president.

Now 65, Gongloe has served the Liberian people in other official capacities, among them Minister of Labor and Solicitor General, resigning from his post in 2010.

According to Front Page Af-

By Tamara Shiloh

Liberian presidential candidate Tiawan Saye Gongloe at the Federal Building in Oakland holding the broom symbolizing his intent to sweep out corruption in his home country.

rica, “Gongloe has helped in drafting legislation for civil service reform, local government reform, forestry reform law, jury reform, anti-press laws, code of conduct for public officials, land authority act, whistle-blower and witness protection act.”

As a civil rights lawyer, he has devoted most of career to fighting for freedom of speech and equal rights for Liberian people.

He has fought to bring to justice the politicians and their supporters that engaged in human rights violations in Liberia.

In addition, he has represented victims of human rights abuses.

Challenging the status quo comes at a high cost and Gongloe has the battle scars to prove it. He has been arrested and imprisoned many times. The civil rights icon has worked with many international organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

In 2003, Gongloe was awarded the prestigious John Humphrey Freedom Award by the Canadian government.

As the next president of Liberia, Gongloe has unveiled a 10-point plan for “A Better Liberia Agenda” and a 12-point strategy to fight corruption in Liberia, which is chief among his plans. He believes fighting corruption in Liberia will be his biggest challenge due to the characters that he wants to purge.

He carries a tightly wrapped broom that represents his unwavering commitment to fight and sweep corruption out of Liberia. “From top to bottom, we must respect and abide by our Constitution. The president should not have the power to change the Constitution whenever she/he feels threatened or uncomfortable with the letter of the law.”

After corruption, Gongloe wants to address education.

“Access to quality education is a right, not a privilege,” he said.

In order for Liberian youth and the nation to compete in the global market, Gongloe will make both primary and secondary education free. As a nation, he wants to create economic opportunities for all Liberian and he is using this U.S. tour to meet with business leaders to discuss bilateral synergies.

Gongloe wants to re-establish a mutually beneficial relationship with the United States. He urged all Liberians across the globe to get involve and retake their country from corrupt politicians.

At the dawn of the 20th century, cycling was the most popular sport in both America and Europe. The races were brutal; competitors often turned to drugs and other stimulants to maintain the 60 mph pace required to stay on the tracks.

Still, cycling birthed one of sport’s first Black superstars: Marshall Walter Taylor (1878– 1932).

Born in Indianapolis, Ind., Taylor was a teen when he turned professional, and people took notice. Crossing the color line, he won several races on the world stage, earning the nickname the Black Cyclone. He became cycling’s world champion almost a decade before heavyweight Jack Johnson won his world title.

His crossing of the color line, however, was not without difficulties.

While competing the United States, Taylor often forced himself to ride ahead of white cyclists to avoid being boxed in or pulled or jostled from his bicycle at high speeds. Despite his earned fame, he was barred from races in the South where spectators threw ice and nails at him.

Taylor’s advisors suggested that he would be better off rac-

ing in Europe. There, some of the strongest riders in the world were competing and a Black athlete could ride without fear of racially motivated violence.

He rejected the idea, however, as the French held races on Sundays. “Never on Sundays,” Taylor insisted. But the money was good and European promoters were eager to bring him to their tracks. Promoters shifted events from Sundays to French national holidays, and in1902, Taylor dominated the European tour as the fastest cyclist in the world.

Taylor would compete for the rest of the decade, reportedly earning $30,000 a year. This made him one of the wealthiest athletes of his day, Black or white.

Eventually, the sport took its toll on his legs, pushing him to

retire in 1910. He then experienced a bad run with investments that piggybacked on the 1929 Wall Street crash. His earnings wiped out, his marriage ended.

Taylor spent the last years of his life in Chicago selling his autobiography door to door.

In it, he wrote: “I felt I had my day, and a wonderful day it was, too.” Sadly, despite his economic successes, after his death his body lay unclaimed in a morgue and was buried in a pauper’s grave in Chicago’s Mount Glenwood Cemetery.

After a small group of former racing stars learned about Taylor’s burial, they persuaded Frank Schwinn, owner of the Schwinn Bicycle Company, to pay to have Taylor’s remains exhumed and moved to a better location: the cemetery’s Memorial Garden of the Good Shepherd.

On it, a bronze tablet reads: “Worlds champion bicycle racer who came up the hard way—Without hatred in his heart—An honest, courageous and God-fearing, clean-living gentlemanly athlete. A credit to his race who always gave out his best—Gone but not forgotten.”

Read more about this world cycling champion and his courage and success against all odds in his autobiography “The Fastest Bicycle Rider in the World.”

What You Should Know About the New 9-8-8 Suicide Prevention Line

By Aldon Thomas Stiles, California Black Media

On July 16, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline hotline officially became the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

The service also launched a new quick dial hotline number for California residents. Californians can now call or text 9-8-8 any time of day, seven days a week, to reach trained counselors who can help with mental health or substance abuse crises.

Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services, a Los Angeles-based mental health services provider and a leader in whole-person mental health care and suicide prevention for nearly 80 years and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) were the two organizations central to implementing the new hotline.

The number “9-8-8 is now active across the United States.

This new, shorter phone number will make it easier for people to remember and access mental health crisis services,” the hotline’s website reads.

Formed in 2005 and led by SAMHSA, the hotline has over 200 crisis centers that callers are routed based on their area code.

THE POST, July 27-Aug. 2, 2022, Page 5

There was a time when Oakland was on the Move.

Those days seem to be gone!

The recent revelations about the saga of the Coal/No Coal Terminal shows how Oakland has lost its way. Where once it was on the move, today it is a city that seems to be unraveling.

When we last heard from Oakland city officials regarding the ongoing drama surrounding the litigation over the development of the Oakland Army Base property, the City Attorney, Barbara Parker, was declaring a victory that would resolve the lawsuits and deliver a no-coal solution.

On February 2nd, the City Attorney’s Office issued a press release stating that the relevant parties “agreed to a framework for settling two pending lawsuits,” that would eliminate the risk of coal shipments in Oakland and finally allow development of a major job producing terminal at the West Gateway to proceed.

Not to be outdone, in the rush to take her victory lap, Mayor Libby Schaaf’s Weekly Briefing on February 3rd triumphantly declared “The fight against coal in Oakland has been won!” calling it a “tremendous victory for the health of West Oaklanders.”

After spiking the football short of the goal line, neither the Mayor, the City Attorney nor anyone else made good on the promise to “immediately proceed to craft the terms of a settlement agreement and related documents.”

The city’s failure prompted the developers to declare settlement discussions dead and to file a motion to restart the litigation by reopening discovery. The case is now set for trial in April 2023.

According to the filing, “Plaintiffs prepared and circulated a draft settlement agreement for review and comment by the City” on April 18, 2022. But “while the City issued press releases about the settlement and sought media attention, the City never responded in good faith to Plaintiffs’ draft settlement agreement or engaged in any further discussion.” So, after quickly declaring victory and no doubt accepting congratulations from interested parties, city officials couldn’t be bothered to respond to draft settlement documents for almost three months!

The filing also accused the city of continuing to act in bad faith, saying that “continuing and expanding efforts to undermine the Terminal” continued “after the parties reached an agreement to settle.” So, not only couldn’t the city be bothered to respond to the settlement draft, but they also continued to work to undermine and injure their settlement counterparties.

Now, thanks to the city’s inaction on the settlement and their continuing efforts to thwart development of the terminal, the trial will move forward and likely result in the city maintaining its perfect record of futility as they have lost every single case in state and federal courts. The result will be that the developers will have the right to build their terminal and since the federal courts have already decided the issue, they will have the right to ship all commodities, including coal.

This pattern of incompetence shouldn’t come as a surprise to the voters, who have seen city officials manage to lose their beloved sports teams. Is there any greater condemnation of the current leadership than watching the Warriors celebrate their latest world championship with a parade in San Francisco, or seeing the Raiders make the playoffs for only the second time since 2002 while playing in Las Vegas?

City leadership has also managed to chase away businesses, large and small, and employers thanks to their pro tax policies, inability to provide a safe environment, and demonization of employers. According to the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, “Oakland, as part of the larger East Bay labor market, has the worst jobs recovery rate of any area in the region and across the country at 58.3.”

And how does the city respond? They propose a massive business tax increase that will assuredly chase away more employers. The current city leadership seems to be firmly dedicated to making Oakland less safe, less prosperous, and more bureaucratic, the citizens of Oakland be damned.

Moving forward with the settlement would have created hundreds of good paying jobs, brought development to the Army Base after years of litigation and eliminated the threat that coal would someday be shipped through Oakland. The construction of the terminal would have injected hundreds of millions of dollars into the community, and the operation of the facility would pay benefits for over six decades. But delivering for the citizens of Oakland isn’t the priority for current city leadership. These days they are focused on pushing their political agenda and raising their profile.

Some of us remember a better time, when city leaders like Jerry Brown built housing, raised incomes, created jobs, and delivered for the community. Back then Oakland was on the move. It attracted investment, population growth and provided great community benefits to its residents. If we want that kind of city leadership again, we need to throw out this latest group of ideological warriors.

They had a win in their hands, and they simply were too incompetent to take it.

George Henry White in 1900.

White, who represented North Carolina, was the House’s only Black lawmaker at the time. Democrat Sen. Cory Booker and Republican Senator Tim Scott, both of whom are Black, introduced the legislation together this time around.

“Although no legislation will reverse the pain and fear felt by those victims, their loved ones, and Black communities, this legislation is a necessary step America must take to heal from the racialized violence that has permeated its history,” Booker said in a statement on March 7.

Port of Oakland Resumes Full Operations Following a Shutdown By Truckers Over California’s Gig Worker Law

By Keith Burbank Bay City News

Marine terminals are open and operating again normally at the Port of Oakland following a shutdown by truckers over California’s gig worker law, port officials said July 25.

The terminals were operating freely on Saturday following the shutdown over Assembly Bill 5, which reclassified some independent contractors as employees. Some independent contractors have opposed the law because it limits the flexibility of their work arrangements.

The shutdown started a week ago on July 18. California adopted AB5 in 2018, and the U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal of the law by the California Trucking Association, a trade association, on June 30.

“The Port of Oakland has resumed full operations,” said port Executive Director Danny Wan. “We appreciate the independent truck drivers’ use of the designated Free Speech Zones, and we thank local law enforcement for their continued assistance.”

Wan is urging truckers to

voice their grievances with lawmakers instead of the port.

Oakland police and other law enforcement agencies are working to keep traffic at the port moving, port officials said.

Last week’s protests slowed the international movement of goods such as medical supplies,

farm products, car parts and livestock, according to the port.

Port spokesman Robert Bernardo said it will still likely take weeks to alleviate the backlog of goods at the port, resulting in further delays of product shipments.

Tens of thousands of jobs are

associated with the port’s maritime operations. The Port of Oakland also operates Oakland International Airport and manages a real estate portfolio.

The port’s maritime operations have an estimated economic impact in California of $56.6 billion.

What You Should Know About the New 9-8-8 Suicide Prevention Line

Continued from page 2 launched, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office tweeted “help is closer than you think” before tweeting the new number.

Aside from rhetoric promising a commitment to mental health, Newsom proposed $7.5 million for one-time startup costs and $6 million in ongoing funding for the 9-8-8 hotline.

In this year’s state budget $1.4 billion is proposed for mobile crisis teams to serve people with Medi-Cal health coverage The previous number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, (800) 273-8255, will still be available for an unspec-

ified amount of time.

Jennifer Christian-Herman, from Blue Shield of California, believes that the change to 9-88 is a “powerful indication of how seriously we’re taking suicide and mental health as a country.”

Christian-Herman said that the 9-8-8 phone/text line will “help save many lives.”

One of the goals of this quick-dial hotline number is to divert people in crisis to mental health specialists as opposed to going through the 9-1-1 emergency line and potentially dealing with responders who might not be

as equipped to address mental health related episodes.

California has alternative options for people suffering from a crisis but who do not feel like they are at the point of committing suicide.

One such alternative is California’s mental health “warm line.” Operated by CalHOPE and the Mental Health Association of San Francisco, the service is designed to assist people in non-emergency situations.

The peer-run warm line (Call 855-845-7415 to speak to a counselor) began in 2014 and has received over

185,000 calls since 2019, according to the Mental Health Association of San Francisco This organization is currently looking to secure annual funding for this program through 2027.

“We provide assistance via phone and web chat on a nondiscriminatory basis to anyone in need,” the organization’s website reads.

“Some concerns callers share are challenges with interpersonal relationships, anxiety, pain, depression, finances, alcohol/drug use, etc.”

COVID-19 in California: Study Finds Pandemic Lowered Life Expectancy of Black Californians Continued from page 2 helped perpetuate disparities for generations,” researchers stated in the study.

The study found that economic factors including the likelihood of Black and Latinx Californians working frontline jobs increased their exposure to the COVID-19 virus coupled with the increased need for them to attend work in person to financially survive the pandemic were possible contributors to the life expectancy decrease.

“Families of lower socioeconomic status are more vulnerable to economic instability and were less likely to access income support programs during the pandemic, raising concerns that the stresses brought on by the pandemic might have widened health gaps related to income and race and ethnicity,” the study reported.

As of July 11, only 68% of Black Californians have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and only 25 % of Black children in California have been vaccinated against the virus.

Government supported programs and additional funds allocated in the budget for Medi-Cal coverage for undocumented immigrants are a few steps that have been taken to combat some of these disparities.

BlackandVaxxed.org is a California statewide public awareness campaign designed to give the Black community the facts and insights necessary to make informed decisions about the COVID-19 vaccine. Created in partnership with the California Department of Health, the organization provides a compilation of workplace safety initiatives and vaccine related information on its website.

With a lively ribbon-cutting ceremony, entrepreneur Rita Forte launched an expansion of her marketing agency with a screen printing and embroidery production shop in East Oakland on July 9.

The Olive Street Agency had already begun printing apparel merchandise for nonprofit organizations, artists and other businesses.

Some of her clients include Tony Toni Tone, East Bay Rowing Club, Girls in Tech, ADOS, Third Culture Bakery, BWOPA, Oakland NCPCs and more.

“Being able to print shirts and embroider hats in-house is something that we’ve been wanting to do for a while. This scale up will help us to serve more folks and organizations and we’re excited to get to work,” Forte said.

Located at 5849 MacArthur Blvd., the Olive Street Agency also offers other marketing services such as graphic design and video content creation.

An East Oakland native and former radio Hip Hop DJ, Forte has owned her agency for 10 years. This new shop is the expansion of her services — now she will screen-print and embroider apparel orders, right in East Oakland. “This is a momentous occasion and an exciting time to have this opportunity to open up this shop.”

Reid said.

Taylor and Reid also presented Forte with a special recognition and commendation on behalf of the City of Oakland at the grand opening of the shop.

Longtime Attorney, Travel Agent Emma H. Pendergrass, 94

Emma H. Pendergrass, a devoted mother and sister, an outstanding attorney, inspirational educator, a consummate travel agent, leader, and friend to many, passed on July 17, 2022 in Oakland, California.

Born in Orangeburg, S.C., on June 1, 1928, Emma spent her formative years in South Carolina. She later lived in Washington, D.C., where she graduated from high school and college, earning a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Howard University. She also earned both a master’s and Ph.D. in Education.

Emma was a high school chemistry teacher and counselor in her early career, but an interest in law led her to attend law school at night. After graduating from law school and passing the bar exam on her first attempt, she established a successful law practice in Oakland, California, specializing in Family and Probate Law. She was an active participant in various bar associations and held leadership positions in the National Bar Association, Charles Houston Bar Association, California Association of Black Lawyers, Wiley Manuel Law Foundation, and Alameda

County Bar Association. She received numerous awards in recognition of her outstanding service in the law.

She applied her incomparable leadership skills to numerous social organizations, including Delta Sigma Theta Sorority where she was a member for over 50 years; The Links, Incorporated; The Carrousels, Incorporated; and C’est La Vie. A love of travel led Emma to establish Emma H. Pendergrass Travel Agency in 2009.

She organized numerous cruises and trips to worldwide destinations for colleagues and friends through 2020.

Emma was a role model of

excellence, determination, and courage. She lived her life with a spirit of kindness that touched all who knew her. Rejoicing in her life are her two sons, Bailey III and Gary Pendergrass, seven siblings, a host of other family members, and many dear friends.

A celebration of Emma’s life will be held on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022, at 11:00 a.m., preceded by a viewing from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., at Allen Temple Baptist Church, 8501 International Blvd, Oakland, CA. Masks are required.

There will be a viewing on Wednesday, August 3 from 11:00a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at Fouche’s Hudson Funeral Home, 3665 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA. Emma will be interred in Orangeburg, S.C. The Emma Pendergrass Memorial Scholarship has been established by the Charles Houston Bar Association.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made payable to Charles Houston Bar Institute, P.O. Box 1474, Oakland, California 94604 or online at donate@chbi.org. Please state the contribution is for the Emma Pendergrass Memorial Scholarship.

The Anti Police-Terror Project was formed by a hodge-podge of organizations led by community activist Tur-Ha Ak; nurse, Asantewaa Boykin; poet, Michael Walker, Tha Ghetto Prophet; and performer, organizer and activist Cat Brooks.

They were in the streets between Los Angeles and Oakland in 2010 training organizers on how to respond to police-resident encounters to ensure that the killing people of color ceased. Instead, they witnessed an increase.

According to Brooks, “We questioned what communities would look like if we did not call the police, and what we learned in the data was the only way to decrease the number of killings was to decrease police presence in our communities.”

Brooks said that the community’s demand for change stemmed from numerous atrocities perpetrated by the Oakland Police Department (OPD) where 11 Black men were killed in one year, and Celeste Guap reported in 2016 that she had been raped and trafficked by 14 law enforcement officers including OPD. Brooks added, “. . .and there was a definite shift against the police after they gunned down Yuvette Henderson in 2015 for shoplifting. I believe that was

part of what gave birth to the ‘Say Her Name’ movement.”

APTP, recognizing the need to create alternative responses, birthed their “Defund the Police” movement. “Even though our Defund the Police campaign drew a lot of negative responses, it was important for people to get together and say their names, to express their rage and talk about, not just the physical impact these killings were having on our emotional health, but the impact of them killing us one after another, and our lack of power to do anything about it.”

Redefining what public safety looked like, APTP engaged Oakland and Sacramento communities with de-escalation training, developing a mental health model that did not involve the police.

“We developed Mental Health First, a First Responders Program, Rapid Response Program, and a Jail Support Program. Our Mental Health First program is an assembly of doctors, nurses and people affected. As people learned about our services our phone began ringing off the hook, from people grateful to have a number to call other than 911.

“The problem is that there’s no place a Black person can go to get long-term care for mental issues. We’re building a clinic where we can hold people for longer than 24 hours.

Sometimes a person just needs a warm blanket, some food and

to be heard.”

About 40% of the City of Oakland’s general funds go to the police. APTP proposes that the police budget be cut in half and funds instead go to the community and provide 24/7 mental health services in Oakland.

APTP saw their desire for change come to fruition when Oakland adopted the MACRO program. The Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland (MACRO) program handles non-emergency and non-violent 911 calls.

APTP trains MACRO participants and pushed to establish a community advisory board. They work with Elliott Jones, director of MACRO, to replace services the police once provided. The MACRO model is grounded in empathetic service to the community while reducing responses by police.

APTP is continuing to build infrastructure and is looking to hire a statewide advocate to create policy to decriminalize people with mental health disabilities. APTP accepts no government money and is supported by the Akonodi and Rosenberg Foundations, California Endowment, and Lateefah Simon, a BART Board Director, among others.

THE POST, July 27-Aug. 2, 2022, Page 10

Wilson Riles Jr., Former City Are We About to See the Permanent Exclusion of Most Black People from Construction Jobs in Oakland? Council Member, Settles Police

For decades Black people in Oakland have obtained 9% or less of the work hours on publicly funded construction projects. So … for jobs that are paid for by all of our tax dollars, Black residents, who make up 23% of Oakland’s population, get only 9% of the relatively well-paid work doing construction.

How is that possible in this city that is believed by the world to be very progressive? Most of the work goes to members of the construction unions that have historically and currently excluded Black people through a complex set of membership requirements.

Nationally, only 7.2% of the carpenters’ union members are Black; 8.3% of the electricians’ union members and so on. The City of Oakland has done two very thorough reports of these racial equity issues. You can find this important information at the end of this story.

But the leadership of the con-

struction trades now insist that they should obtain an even larger portion of the construction hours and that this practice should be set in stone by something called a Project Labor Agreement. It is now being inaccurately called a “Community Workforce Agreement,” which is nonsense because it doesn’t help the community.

Why would progressive Oakland consider giving exclusive benefits to organizations that practice well-documented racial discrimination? At least one part of the reason is that the construction unions spend enormous amounts of money on Oakland elections. They were instrumental in former City Councilmember Desley Brooks’ defeat in District 6, for example, because they did not consider her sufficiently compliant with their demands.

The City Council established a task force to discuss the racial issues involved in construction and the possibility of a Project Labor

Agreement. The task force included some community members, including the publisher of the Oakland Post, and was mandated to address racial discrimination first.

The City rejected this proposal and began meeting with the building trades alone, saying that they would return with a proposed Project Labor Agreement, although there has been no demonstrated change in the racial exclusivity practiced by the construction trades.

This is outrageous on three levels: 1) These are the tax dollars of Black residents, as well as others.

2) The community’s interests in racial justice have not been resolved in any policy venue.

3) The community belongs at the table throughout whatever process takes place.

The usual arguments for labor/ employer negotiations do not apply. The construction unions are NOT city workers. If they were city employees, they would have both the rights (negotiations) and the responsibilities (non-discriminatory

Conserved involuntarily, Katherine Carter had to be ‘kidnapped’ from a long-term care facility by her daughter, Venus Gist, a ‘Shout Out Justice’ advocate.

Carter had been neglected to the degree that the facility had arranged hospice care. Risking arrest and prosecution, Gist “illegally” removed her mother from the facility. Katherine Carter lived an additional four years after being given 3 to 6 months to live.

“As both an advocate and a victim of the probate court, I think it’s exceptional that the Grand Jury of Alameda County has finally filed a report addressing the issues of conservatorship within the Public Guardian’s Office,” Gist said.

“Abusive conservatorships are occurring nationwide and seldom are public servants such as judges, attorneys, conservators, fiduciaries, etc. held accountable and convicted of criminal acts committed towards their clients … it’s rarely talked about, and families and caregivers are mostly blamed.”

“Alameda County needs a radical transformation in the way legal defense services are provided.” Gist said. “As things now stand, these services almost always result in a conservatorship being granted.

There are no trials. No appeals.

Less restrictive alternatives are not seriously explored,” she went on.

She agrees with Coleman that the board should hire an

outside firm to audit the public defender and “look seriously at adopting the Nevada model for legal defense services in Alameda County.”

To prevent abuses such as the Carter family encountered, the Grand Jury recommends that a neutral third-party entity be selected to conduct annual reviews of conservatorships to assess attorney compliance and determine compliance with probate rules.

The Grand Jury also recommended that attorneys take ongoing educational training in probate conservatorship and establish annual performance evaluations. They also recommend that a licensed health professional evaluate each client.

tractors who had moved to Antioch or Hayward, or even Sacramento, forced out of Oakland by the City’s urban “removal” programs — from BART to freeways to installation of big projects like the 7th Street Post Office, decimating the West Oakland Black population and magnificence of Seventh Street, once deemed “Harlem West” — offered them an opportunity to come back to Oakland to work.

Among the opponents were the selfish Blacks who exploited the word “local” to keep their brothers and sisters out. There were some Blacks who misunderstood the point, forgetting the City’s own Disparity Study.

And, there were others who behaved as provocateurs.

When I was in the leadership

of the Black Panther Party, we were keenly aware of how the FBI developed provocateurs to “disrupt, discredit or destroy” the Party. We documented how the FBI would buy a Negro for a few dollars to, for example, go to a meeting and disrupt discussion on an issue we were advocating by distracting everybody to engage in false arguments and become antagonistic with each other, pushing the real issue out of sight. Provocateurs would misrepresent who they were, shout, lie, but effectively shut down everything.We can all recall how just before Malcolm X was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom, somebody in the audience shouted out: “Take your hands out my pock-

et!” All eyes turned to look, as the assassin shot Malcolm dead.

His security chief, Gene Roberts, who was standing by his side, would, years later, reveal he had been an agent provocateur of the FBI. Which means we know how this works. It is a well-known aspect of our history. It is time we learned that history well enough to recognize when it is unfolding again in the present.

And we did, indeed, see it at City Hall on Tuesday.

The agenda item intended to support the needs of Black people was disrupted. But, as a people, we have always had our own agenda. Let’s get back to that.

When it comes to keeping us free from fear and intentional harm, we collectively debate the role of economic opportunity, availability of social services, mental health interventions, access to guns and the best uses of law enforcement.

In reality, all these tools are part of the solutions we seek.

This year, National Night Out will take on even great significance than in previous years. The stakes seem higher.

As we move forward, let’s take the opportunity to talk to our neighbors. I urge each of us to listen to all perspectives with an open heart, even when they might differ from our own.

This election season, take those perspectives into account when you choose candidates who must be equipped to build consensus and implement the best ideas to serve us all. Our safety depends on it.

hiring) of the city. Since they are not held responsible to include Black people in their organizations, they should not have the right to exclusive negotiations about anything I am hopeful, of course, that the City will reject the continuation and expansion of racial discrimination policies practiced by the leadership of the trades unions and will insist on the drastic changes necessary for Black people to obtain 23% of the work hours they are due by virtue of their proportion of the population and tax dollars contributed.

These two documents below provide information that is both illuminating and horrifying.

Grand Jury Report Cites Probate Conservatorship Cries Out for Reform Coleman suggested that the board should look to Nevada for solutions. “It should adopt a new system for providing legal defense services to seniors and people with disabilities who are targeted by these proceedings,” he said.

Recommendations from the Grand Jury are that the Alameda County Defender’s office transfer the responsibility of conservatorship to a separate agency with a contract specifying standards be met in order to receive funding from the County.

The Grand Jury is also advocating for a “Zealous Advocate,” a legal representative who assures that the desires of the conservatee are addressed.

found differences of “local” versus “Black” designation, was that their strong advocacy became a distraction allowing those who want to avoid emphasizing the exclusion of Blacks from livable wage jobs and careers a convenient way out of confronting a cure for racial neglect.

The most controversial language change proposed for the labor/contractor compliance ordinance was that prime or general contractors no longer had to be “headquartered” in Oakland. The change was that they simply had to have an office and “significant presence” in Oakland to be deemed a “Local Business Enterprise.” This one change offered Black con-

Coal is Back on the Table Continued from page 1

A trial date has been set for April 2023. Soon the parties will restart the costly process of conducting depositions and engaging in other discovery. Each day that goes by, it will become less likely that they will be willing to return to the negotiating table.

The city has not fared well in their prior attempts at lawsuits to prevent coal from being transported through the proposed terminal. The developer’s right to transport coal was confirmed by federal courts and the right to ship through the terminal no longer appears to be a legal question.

The city then attempted to prevent the construction of the terminal in state court by claiming that the lease agreement over the property was invalid because the developer did not timely obtain construction permits in the timeline stipulated by the development agreement.

The developer responds that it could not act because the city refused to issue permits for construction. Legal experts agree that the odds are in favor of the developer prevailing on this issue. If the developer wins in state court, the way will be paved for coal to be shipped through the terminal for the next 66 years.

A settlement and agreement by the developer not to ship coal was the last and guarantee that the city had to prevent coal from flowing through the terminal. But the city could not reach agreement and according to the developer demanded more.

The developer now says that due to the city’s inaction, the offer is no longer on the table. Maybe the city can bring the settlement back to life, but the odds against this are long and decrease each day that discovery, depositions and trial preparation go on.

For the ’developer’s perspective, read more on page 5.

Rethinking Our Safety “us vs. them” mentality will require all of us to embrace “the we.”

From abolitionists and reformers to those who do not question the status quo, we coexist as a community. As such, we seek out ways to transform systems that were never built to truly serve us.

Most Oaklanders, no matter where we live, are concerned about what keeps us safe at our homes, in our churches, in our cars, at our schools, and in our streets.

As Zach Norris, the previous executive director of the Ella Baker Center, says in the title of his book, “We Keep Us Safe.”

He, along with Van Jones and others, advocate for moving toward a safer future by embracing the politics of care and compassion and rejecting the politics of fear. Getting past the historic and contemporary trauma will be a difficult but necessary first step.

asked the employee to look at the building code, but the employee refused.

“I raised my voice and asked him to get a supervisor to talk to me,” he said. “That’s when they called the police. A Black man raising his voice should not be a threat to anyone in the city,” and is not a sufficient reason to call the police to have someone arrested, he said.

As he was leaving the office, Riles was arrested on charges of obstructing a public officer and battery of a police officer. However, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office declined to file charges.

The city’s settlement with Riles comes out of the millions of dollars the city set aside “to pay for bad police actions,” he said.

“I don’t believe this is justice. The city made a financial decision,” he said, figuring it was cheaper to settle than to hire outside lawyers and run the risk that Riles would win more at a trial.

“They are not going to look at their policy, they are not going to look at retraining their police officers, nor are they admitting they’ve done anything wrong,” said Riles.

Riles has a second state lawsuit against the city to demand relief from the city’s use of building code and an attempt to put a lien on his home to stop his sweat lodge. While many neighbors were supportive, officials acted on the complaints of one or two neighbors.

“They immediately assumed that we need to be shut down,” he said. “They came out here and looked for every kind of violation, including threatening property liens. The Zoning Department enforces these kind of class/race restrictions in this city, and they get away with it.”

“There’s a long history here,” Riles continued. “Reparations should be paid for the way Black people were forced out of West and East Oakland, often enforced by the Zoning Department.”

Blocking Change: City Council Ended the Emerald New Deal Continued from page 1

candidates to take credit for new ideas or to vote against a colleague’s solution because it boosts their image in the community of voters.

The Emerald New Deal (END) rejection by our elected officials will result in them being held accountable for their nonsupport of this initiative. For those council members who chose to abstain, these members as well did not have the heart to say “Yay” or “Nay”. To which refusing to take a stand one way or another says they did not support it without going on record itself.

How can anyone claim to be progressive; yet when it comes to showing it you fold like a cheap suit. Why wouldn’t they support these funds coming back into the city?

The poor and depressed communities continue to suffer simply because those with the power to effect change abandoned their responsibilities I am a returning reentry citizen volunteering with the Formally Incarcerated Giving Back organization. We are not politicians.

We are simple folks seeking to uplift our communities and support all measures designated to help address the blight, create new employment, stem the homeless crisis, address the drug and violence epidemic and much more.

With our efforts and support from the communities, we can create positive change in all areas of drastic need. All Oaklanders are frightened and worried for their safety during this recent upsurge in criminal behavior and violence, and we too, especially because we have paid our dues for committing crimes in the past, want to help empower and mobilize to create a new environment of support. We are urging voters to ask the city council to rethink the ending of the END plan because you must answer to the people at the polls.

The voters are not blind. They see the subterfuge with clear vision and to underestimate their sense of truth is to belittle them and their true concern. For they have the power. The formally incarcerated step up the march for support of END to promote unmitigated change.

I want to open the door for dialogue with those who did not commit to a YES vote. This is a call to action for a VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVE. The goal is to register as many Oaklanders as possible for the coming November votes. It is vital that we register as many returning formally incarcerated citizens as possible to impact the election. And in the spirit of democracy, we must hold everyone accountable to the will of the people. Voter registration is a must in this regard.

Wicker, who is currently a junior at Arizona State, has always been ahead of her time.

After graduating high school, she was able to complete more than half of her undergraduate requirements at Arizona State University (ASU) and Oakwood University in just one year.

Wicker grew up loving to build things and previously had dreams of building robots for NASA. However, after a trip to Jordan with The Brown STEM Girl foundation, she fell in love with biology and realized that wasn’t the route she wanted to go.

“It actually took one class in engineering for me to say this is kind of not where I wanted to go,” she told 12 News.” I think viral immunology really came from my passion for volunteering and going out there engaging with the world.”

Her goal?

“What I want from healthcare is to really show these underrepresented communities that we can help, that we can find cures for these viruses,” she added.
