Derreck Johnson Expands BlackOwned Project to Year-Round Campaign By Tanya Dennis

Derreck Johnson, founder of the Home of Chicken and seat last year, kicked off the the outset of Black History Month. Now he is heading up #BlackOwnedProject365, partnering with the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce, in the belief that Black excellence deserves attention year-round. In a Facebook post, Johnson said that when OAACC “President and CEO Cathy Black Owned Project, we hoped to create a platform to amplify the visibility of Black-led enterprises while honoring our rich history and contributions. “But we also recognize that addressing the racial wealth gap in Oakland and across the country will take more than a social media campaign. It will require all of us to work together to enContinued on Page 10

Brotherhood of Elders Network and the African American Latino Action Alliance. By Spencer Whitney

The Brotherhood of Elders Network and the African American Latino Action Alliance are joining forces to demand action against violence. Our organizations denounce violence against members of Asian American communities in San Francisco, Oakland and the greater Bay Area. We stand in solidarity with victims, sur-

vivors and families who have suffered loss and pain. These violent assaults have circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic even more painful. The African American, as well as Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese, elders and youth, are traumatized, afraid and outraged during a time when we are also experiencing disproportionate impacts of the

pandemic. These include mass unemployment, safety risks to frontline works, insecure housing, the shuttering of our local small businesses. We understand there is also a surge in anti-Asian racism. There has been an escalation of violence and other incidents against Asian American communities. The Stop AAPI Hate reporting center documented

Sydney Kamlager Succeeds Holly Mitchell as Calif. Senate’s Only Black Woman By Tanu Henry California Black Media

With that win, Kamlager, 48, becomes one of two African Americans in the State Senate -the other is Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Los Angeles) -- and the only Black woman in that legislative body, replacing former Sen. Holly Mitchell. Mitchell resigned from the Senate last November after she won a seat on the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. Winning two-thirds of the vote, Kamlager bested seven other hopefuls, including her closest contender Culver City Councilman Daniel Lee, who is also Af-

About 10.35% of all eligible voters in the district participated in the special election. “I woke up this morning to the next chapter -- and I am ready,” said Kamlager, who currently serves in the state Assembly. In her current role, Kamlager represents the 54th District, which includes Baldwin Hills and Ladera Heights. “Last night was our win,” she continued. “If you are Black, Brown, Asian, Native American, a woman, LGBT, a worker, a small business owner, a proud Continued on Page 10

2,808 hate incidents in 2020, with over 700 occurring in the Bay Area. Violence affects all of us in all of our communities. We must invest in long-term, community-centered solutions that create opportunities for crossracial healing that address underlying causes and create ways for all to thrive. Our strength is in unity, not division, and our histories and our futures are intertwined. This is why we are committed Islander, Indigenous, Latinx and African American communities for a long-term, shared vision and solutions to stop the violence in all of our communities. It is up to us to keep our communities accountable and to holistically respond to generational trauma and violence. It is up to us to imagine what real safety could look like for our people and to build the future we want to see – one that is grounded in accountability, justice and care for each other. We ask the leadership of the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and the others in the greater Bay Area, to immediately increase culturally Continued on Page 10

This shouldn’t be how we say hello ... or goodbye.

It’s our reality right now. But it won’t be if we do what it takes to beat COVID-19. Vaccines are here, but until enough of us are vaccinated, we all still need to wear our masks, stay at least six feet from others, and avoid indoor social gatherings. The more we slow the spread, the faster we’ll return to normal hellos … and fewer goodbyes. Learn more about vaccines and slowing the spread at cdc.gov/coronavirus

Asm. Sydney Kamlager-Dove Pushing Law to End ‘Slavery’ in California’s Prisons By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

For 24 years now, Samual Brown – who was convicted for attempted murder in Sacramento – has been serving time in California state prisons. Right now, he is at a correctional facility in Lancaster, a Los Angeles County town northeast of L.A. While in prison, Brown says he has evolved. In addition to earning an associate degree, Brown will be awarded his B.A. from CSU Los Angeles in the spring, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. Before moving to the Lancaster facility that currently houses him, Brown says he was serving his sentence at a maximum-security prison in New Folsom near Sacramento. That prison was notorious for its high homicide and suicide rates, Brown says. Responding to the death, violence and despair all around him there, Brown says he drafted the proposal for a successful intervention effort called the 10 P program. Since authorities implemented his plan, there have been fewer deaths at New Folsom. “At the core of the program is effectuating emotional literacy,” Brown told California Black Media on a phone call from California State Prison Los Angeles County. “We encourage the inmates to adopt pro-social behaviors and reclaim their narratives. We teach them how to address intergenerational trauma and adverse childhood experiences We prepare them to face the parole board.” But as an inmate, Brown says he is also forced to work. He has no say-so regarding his safety, or about how much he is paid, or the kinds of work he performs. Recently, the state

prison has assigned him to COVID-19 sanitation duties, paying him 55 cents per hour. “It’s unfortunate but this is true: the 13th amendment did not end slavery in the United States,” said Brown. “As long as there is forced labor and state constitutions that have conditions for ‘involuntary servitude,’ there is still slavery.” Brown says too many racist ideologies and practices from the old, slaveholding South survive today. They didn’t end, he argues, they transitioned. “It’s wrong to have private prison corporations that can of what is right or wrong but from it,” says Brown. “In prison, if you refuse to work, you get the modern-day equivalent of a whip on your back. You could get a ‘115,’ a disciplinary write-up that could prevent you from getting parole.” Assemblymember Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Los Angeles) agrees with Brown. The lawmaker is pushing legislation that would strike out the words “involuntary servitude” from the California Constitution. In January, Kamlager-Dove introduced ACA 3: The California Abolition Act. Kamlager-Dove who represents the 54th Assembly Dis-

trict -- which covers sections of Los Angeles County, including Ladera Heights and Baldwin Hills -- says she wants to build off the momentum of similar laws recently passed in Colorado, Nebraska and Utah. “As it currently reads, the Constitution of California prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude ‘except to punish crime,’” she said. “The California Abolition Act would remove such conditional language, abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude without exception.” Brown’s wife, Jamilia Land, who lives in Sacramento, is a member of the Abolish Slavery National Network (ASNN), an organization committed to ending all forms of slavery in the United States. She is also the co-founder of A.S.A.P, an organization that advocates for the mental health and wellbeing of children impacted by police or community violence. With Land’s input, Brown drafted the original language that appears in KamlagerDove’s bill. Along with other Sacramento community activists, the couple has worked closely with the AssemblyContinued on page 8

WE ARE ALL BETTER

TOGETHER Across the nation, the Black community is disproportionately affected by COVID-19 cases.

In California, Black residents are the 4th most affected group by COVID-19, making up 4% of all California cases. Historically known as advocates and providers, Black churches across the state are stepping up to bridge the gap between the government and free access to community-based testing. As leaders in the community, the church testing sites are exemplifying the way to properly engage the Black community in providing resources and reducing the spread of COVID-19.

Barbershop 2.0: The App That’s Putting Black Health in the Palm of Our Hands By Charlene Muhammad, California Black Media

Dr. Bill J. Releford, a Los Angeles County-based physician and founder of the Releford Foot and Ankle Institute in Inglewood, is putting Black health care into their own hands. Last week, he launched a high-tech digital tool that he hopes will save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic -and beyond. He also hopes it will turn around the troubling disparities that exist when it comes to the health of Black Americans. The “Barbershop 2.0,” Releford’s new app, allows users to access Black physicians from anywhere in the world. Dr. Releford says he is building on another project he launched in 2009, the Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program. With that initiative, he worked to screen 500,000 Black men for diabetes and high blood pressure in over 100 barbershops. Releford says during the development process, he has had to keep some of the features of his software program

Number two, we are launching the Black Barbershop Physician Network, where you can see a Black physician, on your phone in the comfort of your home. Health disparities have a number of driving factors. One

You’ll be able to see a Black physician on your phone, in the comfort of your home, using telemedicine.

Riley said she became homeless when her husband passed away shortly after listing himself as head of household of their section 8 housing and she got evicted. She lives in an RV at Union Point, where she and other residents in similar situations have access to bathrooms and water. Currently about 15 people live there.

a cease and desist order to the City ordering them to clear residents living at the park by February 12. On February 5, the City posted notices saying they intended to clear the park on February 9-11. On the eviction days, some residents living at the park decided not to leave.

The United Front Against Displacement (UFAD), supported them. Residents and activists built a barricade of debris and unwanted materials to slow the eviction effort, held signs, and chanted. “The City of Oakland was unable to fully implement closure of the park using the methods and resources that Oakland Public Works, Oakland Human Services, and the Oakland Police Dept. regularly use to complete such a closure due to ongoing demonstrations,” Karen communications director, told The Oakland Post in an e-mail about the attempted eviction. She added that the City is now “working with the individuals present to achieve a productive resolution,” and that BCDC had extended their deadline for the City to evict residents until March 12.
