U.S. Must Do Better to Help Migrant Children at Southern Border, Barbara Lee Says By Keith Burbank Bay City News
“We must do better” at helping migrant children coming alone to America’s southern border, Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, said following a trip she made late last week to immigrant facilities in Texas. Lee made the trip to Texas as part of a congressional delegation that toured at least two facilities, including the Carrizo Springs Ofand the El Paso Border Patrol Central Processing Center. “This is a heartbreaking situation that requires a long-term solution as well as urgent action to reunite families,” said Lee, who added that children arriving at our border alone are experiencmatic ordeal. “In the El Paso facility, I saw a young girl, about six years old, reunite with an older brother, about 10 years old,” Lee said. “When they saw each other, they ran to each other and embraced, both of them crying.” Lee committed to advocating for more money for social services -- such as counseling and education at the facilities -- and to ensuring that federal development dollars strengthen economies and further democracy, so that children don’t have to “People come to the United States seeking a better life,” Lee said. “Immigration has made this country what it is. We must provide just and fair treatment for those seeking a better life in our country.” Lee is on the House Appropriations Committee and chairs the Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs.

Rev. Dr Robert Lacy was born on Nov. 27, 1932, in Vicksburg, Miss. He left this world on March 28, 2021. He was 88 years old. His early education began in a church house called Mt. Ararat Missionary Baptist Church in Vicksburg, Mississippi. He started kindergarten in 1937, graduated Bowman High School in May 1947 (age 15). The fall of 1947, he entered Alcorn State University, where he earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Education. His academic promotions were accelerated through his personal intellect and the guidance of a popular businessman who owned portions of city industry in Vicksburg. The dawn of 1951, he traveled to California and decided to advance academically by enrolling in evening courses at Merritt College. Because of the union strike that year, he was able to take a full course

Acting at a public meeting, Oakland’s state overseers recently blocked a Reparations for Black Students resolution that would have protected neighborhood schools from being permanently closed. Under state control since 2003, the school district has already closed about 20 schools under the guidance of the state acting through the Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team (FCMAT) and a state trustee.

Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas
Nikki Fortunato Bas hopes to position Oakland to thrive, not just survive. “It’s not enough to go back to where we were,” Bas said,
referring to pre-pandemic times when even then many in Oakland were hurting. She thinks the council can position the city for a strong economic recovery and she has at least one idea to help do that. Bas’ idea is a progressive business tax, which could raise tens of millions of dollars by applying a higher tax rate on larger businesses. Currently, Oakland’s busimom-and-pop businesses pay the same tax rate as Whole Foods Market, which is owned by online retail giant Amazon. Under a progressive tax, Whole Continued on Page 8

District’s state overseers have mostly operated behind the scenes to enforce their dictates since they took over the district nearly 20 years ago. But last week, the state Trustee Chris Learned sent shock waves through the school community when he came to a public board meeting to announce that he would “stay” or block any motion of the board that halts or puts a temporary moratorium on permanent closing of Oakland schools The state, acting through the Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team (FCMAT) and the state Trustee, has pushed for austerity budgets, with annual cuts to programs in the city’s classrooms and closing as many as 20 schools since the state takeover in 2003. Many activists who back the Reparations for Black Students policy told the Post that the overseers were forced to appear in public because of the huge pressure the board and administration were feeling from hundreds of students and community members in the

But they are furious the about the refusal to pass the part of the resolution stopping school closures. “There is no justice if you Continued on Page 8

Blacks Employed by City File Bias Complaint: Rep. Barbara Lee Reminds Biden ‘San Francisco Should be Ashamed,’ They Say That Clinton, Obama, Harris and By Kiki
On March 15, 2021, the Black Employees Alliance and the Coalition Against Antiwith the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) based on public records data from 2012 to 2020 and alleged disparities in discipline, pay and raises. The groups also alerted the City of San Francisco’s Ethics Commission. San Francisco’s city employee workforce is 36,000 and Black people make up 12% of that, approximately 4,320 Black city employees. The Black Employee Alliance has 410 members. Based on the data, the complaint also alleged that there were pay and bonus disparities

between white and Asian managers and Black managers The data showed that Black city employees were the subject of 21% of the discipline and corrective actions.
Based on the allegations, the groups also wrote a letter to San Francisco Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and other city department heads stating that “San Francisco should be ashamed.” Jessica Brown, a Black Employees Alliance leader told the San Francisco Chronicle: “[i] t’s an injustice. We really want the city to move into action.” The city has acknowledged the racial gaps in discipline and pay, but says those are in the past and are being addressed. A March of 2020 report published by the San Francisco Chronicle said “that Black employees held lower-paying jobs, were less likely to be promoted, and were more frequently disci-
ties in raises that the Black Employees Alliance alleges in their complaint. Next steps are a meeting in May with the Alliance and the state to determine whether DFEH will accept the complaint for investigation. “We have a lot of work to do, but it is very valid that Black employees are paid less in certain roles, and not promoted proportionally and that they are the subject of disproportionate disciplinary action by city departments. This has to change. . . . “ Board of Supervisors President Shamann Walton said in a statement in response to the complaint. The San Francisco Chronicle, thegrio.com, and missionlocal.org were sources for this report.

an entrepreneurial characteristic…. Also in 1951, the spirit of God developed an entrepreneurial characteristic that led to Dr. Lacy opening a maintenance business in 1955, followed by Nationwide Restaurant, which served soul food cuisine, in 1957, and a fabric business in Oakland and Berkeley in 1958 until 1975. “My ultimate desire is to remain steadfast in the service….” Dr. Lacy had accepted his calling to preach at 11 years old. Beginning in 1951, he would serve faithfully for 23 years as an ordained deacon at St. John Missionary Baptist Church under the pastoring of the late Dr. C.J. Anderson. In February of 1975, Dr. Lacy founded St. Andrew Missionary Baptist Church at 2624 West St. in Oakland. At the same location, in September, 1978, he organized St. Andrew Private School, K-12th grades. The fall of 2001, he organized the Theological and Academic University at the site of the church as well.
Pastor Lacy made sure of his ministry of pastoring under the auspices of the Holy Spirit. His anointed ministry involved the preaching and teaching gospel, baptizing, praying the prayer of broadcasting and telecasting the Word of the Lord, performing marriages and personal counseling for families, children, and marriages. After 46 years as pastor of St. Andrew Missionary Baptist Church a healer, counselor, friend, husband, father, grandfather, principal of the private school and president of the Theological University, he leaves us in body, not in spirit. Dr. Robert Lacy was preceded in his passing by his parents, Isaac and Emma Lacy and siblings Isac, Emma and Leroy. He leaves to celebrate his life – The St. Andrew Church Family, a host of family, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Senators Call For Mass Vaccination Sites In Oakland, LA To Stay Open Past April 11 By Bay City News
California’s two U.S. senators said Wednesday they have requested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency work with local and state governments to keep mass COVID-19 vaccination sites open in Oakland and Los Angeles past their plannedApril 11 end date. In a letter to acting FEMA Administrator Bob Fenton, Sens. Dianne Feinstein andAlex Padilla asked for the sites at the Oakland Coliseum and California State University Los Angeles to stay open, saying they have both have been administering more than 7,500 doses per day, bolstering regional capacity.
Feinstein and Padilla called for FEMA “to provide the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and the counties of Alameda and Los Angeles with financial and logistical support so they can take over operations, and that the federal government continues to send the sites direct shipments of vaccine doses.” With California planning to make all residents 16 and older eligible for the vaccine next month, “we believe this is precisely the time when mass vaccination sites, like the ones in Oakland and Los Angeles, are needed. It would be counterproductive to close them before the vast majority of the population is vaccinated,” the senators wrote.

a different manner. Landlords who have a tenant or tenants who qualify for the program can apply and, if approved through the State Rental Assistance Program, receive 80% of unpaid rent accrued between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021. To receive the 80% rent reimbursement money, landlords must agree to waive the other 20% their tenants owe. If a tenant’s landlord chooses not to apply through the State Rental Assistance Program, tenants can apply themselves and still receive 25% of rent money owed during that same period. By then paying that 25% to their landlord, tenants will

Buttigieg Tried Weed, Too
By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media
Evidently, President Joe Biden administration has a zero-tolerance policy for the use of marijuana and for employees who may have experimented with it in their pasts. Several White House staffers were reportedly suspended, put on probation, or asked to resign after honestly disclosing past cannabis use. Responding to the White House in a letter, a faction of lawmakers, including Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA-13), asked the administration to “rectify instances” or “clarify its employment suitability policies” regarding marijuana. “Those in the upper ranks of your administration won’t face consequences for their cannabis use, and nor should they, but the same standard should be applied across the administration,” the letter read. “Repercussions for cannabis use have always been unequal and those with the most power have always faced the fewest consequences. We ask that you don’t allow that pattern to continue within your administration.” Led by the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, Lee and 29 other members of Congress signed on to the letter, including Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon), Don Beyer (D-Virginia), Mondaire Jones (DNew York), and Jared Huffman (D-California). A total of six members of California’s congressional delegation are among the letter’s signees. House to remove cannabis use as and apply its security clearance policies with consistency and fairness. The letter was written in earnest and alluded to the fact that former presidents Clinton and Obama admitted to trying cannabis. So did Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Vice President Kamala Harris is also on the record revealing that she too once smoked marijuana. Harris made the admission during a segment on the Breakfast Club radio show when she was on the campaign trail as a presidential candidate. “I have (smoked marijuana). And I inhaled. I did inhale,” Harris said on the radio program hosted by DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne tha God. “I think it gives a lot of people joy. And we need more joy in the world.” Harris also said that she supported legalizing marijuana at the federal level in 2019. The White House has condismissed for past marijuana use. Under federal laws, cannabis is illegal.
Congresswoman Barbara Lee
White House press secretary on March 19 through her Twitter account. She also reported that the White House updated its plan of action. “We announced a few weeks ago that the White House had worked with the Secret Service to update the policies to ensure that past marijuana use wouldn’t automatically disqualify staff from serving in the White House,” Psaki stated. “As a result, more people will serve who would not have in the past with the same level of recent drug use. The bottom line is this: of the hundreds of people started working at the White House are no longer employed as a result of this policy. In their letter to Biden dated March 26, the lawmakers noted that cannabis is legal for either medical or adult use in 36 states. In addition, the letter stated that “more than 50% of the adult population” have used cannabis during their lifetimes. “That includes former presicials,” the letter said. Since it started polling marijuana issues and policies in 1969, a Gallup poll showed 68%of Americans support legalization. The Drug Policy Alliance, a nonpromotes drug policy reform legislation, wants Biden to remove cannabis from the schedule of controlled substances. The Congressional Cannabis Caucus is making the request, too. “While we work to deschedule cannabis legislatively, your administration should act within its power to stop legitimizing unfair cannabis laws,” the lawmakers wrote to Biden. “You have previously expressed your commitment to decriminalizing cannabis in acknowledgment that a cannabis conviction or even the stigma of cannabis use can ruin lives and prevent people from voting, gaining employment, and contributing to society. You can meet this moment and help end our failed punitive policy of cannabis prohibition.”
Homelessness, Housing, Public Safety Top City Council Budget Priorities

Foods would pay more tax on each dollar of sales than smaller stores would. The progressive tax legislation went before the council last year and fell one vote short of passing. She hopes it will get through the council this time and make it on the 2022 ballot. “I think it will make a huge difference in terms of providing a stronger revenue base,” she said. Councilmembers didn’t discuss what services, if any, may adding revenue may alleviate the need to cut services. Councilmembers are also looking at how they might reallocate money from police to other services, Bas said. Of the $192 million expected from the American Rescue Plan, $44 million will be used to cover a current budget shortfall with the balance going to the 2021-23 budget.
The process to create a balanced 2021-23 budget started Tuesday and must be approved in June.
