Oakland Black Chamber of Commerce Center Stage At American Rescue Plan Meeting with Harris, Yellen By Sandra Varner

The Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce (OAACC), www.oaacc.org, joined more than 140 Black chamber presidents from across the nation, in a virtual conversation on February 5, with U.S. Vice Pres. Kamala Harris and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, to discuss the American Rescue Plan. Moderated by Ron Busby, president and CEO of U.S. Black Chambers, INC., the nearly hour-long exchange, placed emphasis squarely on

restoring the U.S. economy to full capacity, particularly Black-owned businesses, a sector hardest hit during the COVID19 health pandemic. One of four speakers, Cathy Adams, OAACC’s president and CEO, said of the chamber’s virtual seat at the table, “We addressed the urgency of keeping our local businesses latter is critical to help our businesses build back better, here in the Bay Area.” Adams also punctuated a critical area affecting the Af-

rican-American community more broadly, stating, “Vice President Harris encouraged all chamber leaders to reach out to our respective communities to get people vaccinated.” Locally, OAACC created an economic stimulus fund last summer to provide needBlack-owned businesses that did not receive federal funding or PPP monies.

LeRonne Armstrong is Oakland’s new police chief and he plans to utilize the knowledge and experiences he gained from his West Oakland birthplace to help him and his new executive team make some attitudinal and cultural changes about the tolerance for violence. He announced that reducing violent crime will be his administration’s uppermost focus. “The citizens of Oakland need to feel safe,” he said. Armstrong says his goal of reducing violent crime will not come at the expense of social justice because “we will be fully transparent, accountable and accessible.” He met with the Oakland series of regular press and media sessions to talk directly to the community. “I will not hide behind press releases.

Rep. Barbara Lee Announces Funding for COVID-19 Funeral Expenses By Alex Katz

Congresswoman Barbara Lee announced on Wednesday $2 billion in special Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds for families to afford proper funerals for their loved ones who passed away as a result of COVID-19. This program replicates the funding used for funeral assistance after Hurricane Katrina, and was inspired by legislation introduced by Congresswoman Lee and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY14) in May. This program will allow families to be reimbursed up to $7,000 for funeral expenses. The funds will be retroactive through the beginning of the pandemic, Jan. 20, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2020. “No one should struggle to afford a proper funeral for a loved one. During this time of unprecedented pain and economic hardship, it’s a moral imperative that the federal government step in and provide relief,” Lee said. “FEMA is authoContinued on Page 8

make sure that working people in the city and county have access to sick leave and are protected against layoffs,” he said. Brown will join executive secretary-treasurer of the labor council Elizabeth Ortega-Toro, who was re-elected to her position. “Under her leadership a strong labor movement has grown throughout the county,” he said. He said his election as president represents a vote of that teachers and their unions are providing in Oakland and throughout the country as they working people and particularly students and families of color are facing in schools, housing, living conditions and on the job.

Oakland Becomes Latest City to Pass Hazard Pay for Grocery Store Workers, Granting $5/hr Increase By Brandon Patterson

The Oakland City Council last week unanimously passed a measure requiring large supermarkets to give their employees an extra $5 an hour as hazard pay for working during the COVID-19 pandemic. The California Grocers Association, which represents grocery store owners, quickly sued the city a day later, arguing that many stores cannot afford the pay

raise and that stores would be forced to raise prices. Minimum wage in Oakland is currently $14.14 an hour – a skimpy wage for the expensive Bay Area. That means that grocery store workers making minimum wage will earn at least $19.19 an hour. Councilmembers said the increase in pay was necessary to compensate workers for risking their health to serve the public urging the COVID-19 pandemic. “The national reContinued on Page 8

Basketball Legend Nancy Lieberman Giving Back to the Black Community By Paul Cobb and Post Staff

Nancy Lieberman, Basketball Hall of Fame legend, is continuing her “Ladies First” mission on and off the basketball court. You may remember her nickname “Lady Magic” on the court at Virginia’s Old Dominion University, winning back- to-back national championships and two-time Player of the Year honors, before male Basketball Hall Of Fame Legend Earvin Johnson was nicknamed “Magic.” Lieberman, was the teenage girl playing at the famous New York City Rucker Park playground in Harlem in the early 1970s, with some of today’s must celebrated Basketball Hall of Fame legends. While playing with some of the most talented players in New York, the tough, Jewish red-head and the only female player on the court, never backed down from any challenge. It wasn’t just her athleticism that was impressive, but the fact that she was accepted and protected by people of color. This imprint on her life has

She is quick to admit that she was one grandparent away from food stamps and a protective colorful subculture of supporters, from choosing a lifestyle that could have been lifeless. Instead, Lieberman is known today as one of our most celebrated national sports icons that are making the impossible seem

Lieberman has a long list of “Ladies First” accomplishments. • She was the youngest basketball participant to win a medal in the Olympics, recipient of a U.S. Basketball League paycheck playing in a men’s professional basketball league • Head coach of Team Power in the BIG3 champions and Coach of the Year in 2018, a

So, today and for the last 30 years, Nancy Lieberman Charities has been making intentional efforts to support people of color and other under-resourced communities. Nancy Lieberman Charities has provided 70 Educational College Scholarships, 94 Dream Courts to teach life skills social etiquette to innercity kids, thousands of backto-school backpacks fully equipped with school supplies and iPads. She has distributed more than 70,000 medical supplies, food and clothing and other basics needs for deserving families. To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

This is something that is long overdue.” Albertsons Co., the company that owns Safeway, saw compared with the same period in 2019, according to a November 2020 report from the Brookings Institute.

TGrocery store workers spoke in support of the measure at the city council meeting where the measure was considered and ultimately passed. “Hazard pay means additional payment for performing a dangerous duty or work related to physical hardship. Grocery is a dangerous job today and physical suffering is pain and death,” Devin Ramos, a 23-year Safeway employee, said. “My work day puts me in a busy store close by to hundreds of customers every day, and I have no realistic way of socializing away while doing my job duties.

He’s optimistic that his new team of deputy chiefs and assistant chiefs will work with the community to make changes and to focus on reducing violent the monitor has allowed a new chief to appoint his own key personnel. He plans to announce a new deputy of Risk Management to meet the requirements of the federal monitor. Aware of growing questions about the mysteries of OPD’s budgeting, especially around overtime pay, Armstrong says “my job is to make sure that the community understands our needs and to make sure that there is accurate documentation. I will not back down.”

His commitment to stopping violence was evident as he talked of losing his 16-year-old brother when he was only 13. “And had a very sobering experience of meeting the person who killed my brother. Even though he said he was sorry I know that every homicide has meaning to every family and their extended families in our Black community. “We should not play politics with people’s lives. It is a misnomer to say or think that Blacks are OK with violence. Blacks want to live in safe communities, too. “I grew up during the crack epidemic and I watched some aggressive tactics, and when I was in charge of racial disparities in police stops, I put the focus on minimizing the stops for broken taillights to be available for 911 calls and violent crime.
