1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men in the course of their lifetimes, according to the Center for Disease Control. Domestic violence ends in 30,000 deaths per year worldwide. Recent studies show that Black women are three times as likely as other ethnic and racial groups to experi-
ence lethal domestic violence, making it the leading cause of death for Black women, ages 15-25. In the months to come, we will take a solutions-oriented approach in our stories as we explore early signs of intimate partner abuse, new state laws to help survivors, impact of
religious ideology, same-sex partner abuse and more. Our writers will be reaching out to survivors, social workers, volunteers and faithbased leaders to get ideas on the latest policy and community practices to deal with what is nothing less than a scourge on family, mental and
emotional health. During this months-long campaign, the Post will also host two gatherings inviting the public to learn more about the impact of domestic violence. this series next week.

The Oakland City Council this week unanimously voted to kick off a program that uses teams of trained, unarmed civilian to de-escalate and resolve mental health crises and disorderly conduct complaints instead of sending police to those calls. The program, Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland (MACRO), will be operated by the Oakland Fire workers who are trained by experienced experts. The 18-month pilot program is already funded for $1.85 million, but the city will need

The district noted that campuses will operate at a limited capacity due to public health guidance to maintain physical distancing. “This is a critical step forward for our students, families and staff, as we all can now see the light at the end of the tunnel of this year-long ordeal,” said Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell, in statement included in the press release. “I want to express my deepest appreciation to our teachers for working so hard to get us to this point and supporting their students through distance learning.”

By Emil Guillermo
Pres. Joe Biden said that anti-Asian hate crimes were “un-American” and “must stop.” But I assure you, those in the current perp demographic suspected of anti-Asian hate crimes in America aren’t listening to Joe Biden. They may listen to Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson. Better known as H.E.R., the Black-Filipino singer-songwriter won a Grammy on Sunday for song of the year for the George Floyd-inspired protest song, “I Can’t Breathe.” She is the embodiment of the harmony that comes when we take a love interest in one another. From the awards stage, she gave a shout out to another Asian American—her Filipina mother. “I want to thank my mom,” H.E.R. said as she accepted the award. “I recorded this song myself in my bedroom at my mom’s house.” Then the Vallejo native spoke

And could there be a better messenger than a part-Asian, part-Black woman who just won for a Grammy for a song that called out for racial reckoning of our times?
then last week, he needed something more than that. Like a vaccine against racism. Ho died March 11, the latest victim in the rising number of anti-Asian hate crimes in the U.S. And it happened about the same time Biden was delivering his prime-time address to let Asian Americans – and the whole country – know that such racist acts will not be tolerated. That’s a whole lot better than the previous president who used the terms “China Virus” and “Kung Flu,” and modeled selfish, unempathetic behavior. But let’s face it. This is more than just about the virus. It’s about 21stcentury racism. It’s just too late for Ho, who died from head injuries suffered when he fell to the ground after being punched earlier in the week in a robbery attempt in Oakland. An African American suspect, Teaunte Bailey, 26, was arrested.
It’s the second fatal death in recent weeks involving an elderly Asian American in the Bay Area. In San Francisco, Vicha Ratanapakdee, 84, was pushed to the ground by a Black suspect, in a crime that was caught on video. Another incident last month in Oakland’s Chinatown, also caught on video, showed yet another elderly Asian man pushed to the ground, but not fatally, by a Black suspect. What gives? “Most people think in terms of racial opposition as being Black can Studies at San Francisco State University’s College of Ethnic Studies. “And the reality is, the ‘other’ includes Asians and that ‘other’ sets us in a position where we’re the targets of hatred from both Black and white.

As Recovery Checks Go Out, Beware Your 2021 Stimulus Cash: Differences Scammers, U.S. Officials Warns Between Your Federal and State Checks By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media

New rounds of COVID-19 stimulous checks are either incoming or have already reached the pockets of eligible Californians -- either through the federal American ResCommission (FTC) is warning the general public about an expected wave of fraud targeting peoples’ stimulus cash. Reports of fraud have risen throughout the country over the last year since the onset of the fraudsters target the public atlarge, a 2016 FTC report found that African Americans and Latinos are more likely to become victims of fraud than whites. The same report emphasized the importance of consumer education in Black and Brown communities, so that people can recognize fraud schemes before they lose money. The types of fraud are wide ranging, according to Jennifer Leach, director of the Division of Consumer and Business Education at the FTC. where people are pretending to be a government agency or your family member or somebody that you’re in love with. They sometimes have just enough information about you to make it feel like it’s real, or they try to threaten you and make it feel really urgent. They say that you’re going to lose your social security number if you don’t pay them, which is not going to happen, or that someone that you love is go-

Leach says, “A lot of people know a lot about scams, they really do, but people get embarsionals, they are really good at what they do. “ Talking about scams both helps protect you and your community.

The pandemic may have also caused the general public to become more susceptible to fraud, according to Leach, possibly due to heightened levels of stress and anxiety. “It’s hard to get the message about fraud across to people when they’re feeling alone or worried or just anxious about people they care about or their
Direct cash relief is coming to Californians soon. Both the state and federal government have begun issuing stimulus checks to Americans. The American Rescue Plan, which includes the third and largest round of federal COVID-19 stimulus of the pandemic so far, was signed into law by Pres. Joe Biden on March 12. According to several reports, direct deposits began hitting peoples’ bank accounts as early as March 14, with paper checks and pre-paid debit cards expected to follow soon. Low-income Californians can also expect a state-specheck, which will be distributed over the course of 2021. Though both stimulus payments are dispensed automatically, they do have big differences when it comes to For the federal stimulus payment, the full $1,400 amount will be distributed to individuals with an adjusted gross income less than $75,000, heads of households earning less than $112,500 and married couples earning less than $150,000. Payments will gradually lower for people earning more than those amounts, with the cutoffs for payments being $80,000 for individuals, $120,000 for heads of households and $160,000 for married couples. This stimulus round will also include an additional
$1,400 payment per dependent. Unlike previous rounds, this round will also include payments for dependents age 17 and above. The maximum amount possible is $5,600, for a couple with two adult children.
