On Tuesday, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) voted to pass H.R.1843, the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which aims to combat the rise in Anti-Asian hate crimes since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the U.S. grapples with VID-19, the Asian-American

community is also facing an alarming rise in anti-Asian violent attacks and discrimination. Since March 2020, Stop AAPI Hate has documented over 6,600 incidents of antiAsian violence and verbal attacks against the Asian American community.

West Oakland Black Women in Food Business Share the Wealth

by Creating a Culinary Collective

Learning Black History Year-Round

Track and Field Olympic Champion Wilma Rudolph: Lightning Fast!

By Tamara Shiloh

By Kiki

A group of Black women who own food businesses are rising from the devastation of the pandemic by sharing a commercial kitchen in West Oakland.

The Black Culinary Collective (BCC) is led by Chef Reign Free, owner of Red Door Catering, which opened in 2006.

Red Door Catering has a 5,000-square-foot kitchen space. During the pandemic Free’s catering business fell and her business was damaged during the protests.

Free also knew other Black

chefs who didn’t have the money to rent commercial kitchen space during the pandemic.

And so, she applied to and received $50,000 from the Oakland Black Business Fund, which, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, is “an or-

ganization that aims to address Black entrepreneurs’ historical lack of access to capital, to help members join the collective rent-free.”

The collective currently has four members (Teas With Meaning, Baby Bean Pie, Pound Business, and Final Sauce) and is looking for six more. The members will share the kitchen, sell their goods to the public on-site, and collaborate on projects. Members will also receive consultations, mentoring and advice on their food businesses.

BCC hopes to open in August and will be located at 2925 Adeline St. Free continues to raise funds to help collective members have up to a year in the collective rent-free.

“It’s important for the people who work in the food and beverage industry to not only know how to cook, but to understand the history and the that came before us,” Free told the Oakland Post. “We are doing our part to change the narrative of excellence being categorized as an exception for black makers.

“The companies that are a part of the collective have esContinued on page 8

As a child she was told that she would “never walk again.”

Number 17 of 22 children, she was born prematurely and contracted infantile paralysis at age 4. This left her with a twisted left leg and there was no cure.

But to the family of Wilma Glodean Rudolph (1940–1994), those words were nonsensical.

Nothing, they thought, would stop young Rudolph from walking.

Together, family members cared for and supported Rudolph. They would remove her brace and massage her injured leg. By age 6, she began to hop.

By age 8 she could move around with a leg brace. After surviving bouts of polio and scarlet fever, her prognosis was gloomy. “My doctor told me I would never walk again,” Rudolph had said.

“My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.”

By age 11, Rudolph, who dreamed of becoming an athlete, often played outdoors. She began to play basketball with the neighborhood kids. Soon, Rudolph was transitioning into a natural athlete. In high school she broke records and led her team to the state championship, and was nominated All-American in basketball. But a chance meeting with a college coach would take Rudolph in another direction. ma’s passion, and like basketball, she was a natural. Her rise was astonishing. While still in high school she was competing

on the collegiate level.

At age 16, Wilma competed in the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia, bringing home a bronze medal in the 4x100 relay, and later entered the 1960 summer Olympics in pursuit of the gold.

Her athletic performance in Rome earned her the title of one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century. She won three gold medals and broke at least three world records, becoming win three gold medals in track

game.

At the height of her dream of becoming an international track hem, Tenn.–born Rudolph was dubbed “the fastest woman in the world.” She took advantage of the spotlight and media attention and used her platform to shed light on social issues. A heroic homecoming was held for the new Olympic champion, yet Rudolph refused to attend because the gathering was segregated. She never again competed in the Olympic Games.

Rudolph won the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year award in 1961 and retired in 1962. She then enrolled in Tennessee State University and completed her degree becoming a teacher and a commentator. She continued her involvement in sports, working at community centers throughout the country.

During a 1995 interview, Rudolph said of her illness: “I never once thought that I would not walk because I was surrounded by people who were positive about it.” And that positive attitude was the backbone of success throughout her life.

Rudolph died of a brain tumor in 1994.

Gov. Newsom Plans to Invest in Black and Brown Communities with California Comeback Plan

By Bo Tefu, California Black Media

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a $100 billion economic recovery plan to support small businesses and public schools, as well as Black and Brown families that were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We here to make sure we’re there for the most vulnerable who were impacted by this pandemic and that’s lowincome individuals disproportionately represented in the Latino and African American communities,” Newsom said on May 14.

The California Comeback Plan includes a $12 billion state tax rebate and additional funds for stimulus checks and rent relief programs. Although the state expanded stimulus checks to middle-class famirecognize that Black and Brown communities were the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Newsom says his plan includes targeted investments in diverse communities to promote health equity, secure housing, a holistic education system, and public safety.

“Operating surpluses are not the new norm, we’re not naive about that,” Newsom said. “That’s why we want to practices by building up our reserves and our resiliency, across the spectrum, and use one-time money for one-time purposes,” he said.

The plan proposes the following key investments in Black and Brown communiwill address major challenges accelerated by COVID-19.

Broadly, they include support for small businesses; improving access to healthcare; investments in vocational education; expanding affordable housing and housing assistance programs; increased enhancing worker protection, and more.

The state has also allocated $8.1 billion in stimulus funds for families including middleclass families earning less than $75,000 in annual household income. Based on the recent expansion, two-thirds of people in California will receive $600 stimulus checks and families with children will receive an additional $500.

The proposed plan will provide $5.2 billion in rent relief for low-income renters to pay back 100% of their rent from previous months. The funds also include $2 billion for unpaid utility bills and legal assistance for tenants across the state.

The homeless crisis is one of the many persisting problems in California the governor’s Republican opponents say have propelled them to launch a recall effort.

Newsom’s plan will invest $12 billion to address homelessness by building 46,000 housing units thus expanding Project Homekey, a California grant program that funds counties and cities to acquire hotel rooms as housing for people

who are unhoused.

Recall efforts have raised questions about accountability measures to keep track of govlessness. However, Newsom emphasized that the state is working to provide accountability measures to ensure that local governments are spending money effectively.

Small businesses will receive $4 billion in direct grants as part of a relief program to help rehire workers displaced by the pandemic. The budget allocates $35 million for the California Dream Fund with $10,000 grants for small businesses serving Black and Brown communities including immigrant populations. Approximately $1 billion will be set aside for job creation and youth employment opportunities to promote economic resilience in Black and Brown communities.

“We want to invest in our small businesses that are really the backbone of our economic recovery,” said Newsom.

Advocates for racial and health equity shared concerns about the limited access to healthcare for vulnerable populations in Black and Brown communities. The state plans to expand Medi-Cal to people 60 years and older irrespective of their immigration status. Medi-Cal will also cover services offered by doulas and community health workers who work primarily with Black and Brown patients.

A total of $70 million will be allotted for educational programs and language services, including $50 million for new graduate medical programs and $20 million to eliminate language barriers in health programs.

Ronald Coleman, the managing director of policy for the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network, said that Newsom should expand Medi-Cal coverage for all undocumented immigrants.

Health advocates emphasized that the governor missed an opportunity to properly invest in racial equity within the healthcare system and public health. All Black and Brown from the federal government resources through the American rescue plan, and the $22 billion state surplus.

“It’s mind-boggling to us that the governor did not take

the opportunity to do more to invest in communities of color, particularly related to health equity, to ensure that we can reduce healthcare disparities while improving health outcomes in our communities,” said Coleman.

The racial justice movement also intersects with health equity during the pandemic since the majority of essential workers are Black and Brown people.

“Black communities have been hit harder as it relates to

those who’ve gotten sick from the coronavirus, those who’ve lost their jobs from coronavirus, and also those who’ve lost their lives,” he said.

Coleman noted that another proposal missing from the California Comeback Plan is the California Health Equity Fund.

The Public Health Institute partnered with several communitybased organizations requesting $180 million to implement strategies for policy, systems, and environmental change that will mitigate the health and social impacts of COVID-19.

Newsom announced the highest level of funding ever for public education to transform K-12 education and doubled down on funding for state colleges and universities. The state aims to create universal transitional kindergarten for all children. An additional $3.3 billion is included for student teachers in high-needs schools.

Additional funds will be allocated to summer and afterschool programs to take care of vulnerable students from underserved communities. A lump sum of $4 billion will be to treat behavioral health issues for minors and young adults between the ages of 0 to 25 years.

may not like it, but it would be good for California’s kids and for Assembly Minority Leader Marie Waldron, (R-Escondido) said Newsom’s proposal, “does nothing to lower the cost of living for hard-working Californians.”

“This budget will do some temporary good, but it fails to seriously address any of the long-term structural problems facing the state,” she said Across the aisle, Sen. Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles), the only African American woman in the California Senate, took to Twitter to highlight some of the highlights of the governor’s budget she called her “top takeaways.” They include: $300 million for public hospitals; investments in the arts; and $12 billion to address homelessness.

The plan also funds a number of Green initiatives. Among them are a $3.2 billion investment in clean transportation and another $400 million over three years for a clean car vehicle rebate program for individuals.

“We’re heartened by much of what Gov. Newsom has proposed,” said Greenlining Institute President and CEO Debra GoreMann. The Oakland-based Greenlining Institute is an environmental public policy and research organization.

“Now it’s up to the Legislature to build on this foundation, using both the budget and pending legislation to build a truly just economy in California,” said Gore-Mann. “The budget affects all of us, so we urge everyone to contact their legislators and push them to seize this opportunity to pass a just, equitable budget.”

Rusty Hicks, chair of the California Democratic Party, threw his support behind the governor.

“As Democrats work to create equitable solutions that meet the moment, the California Democratic Party commends Governor Newsom for centering our recovery around those who need it the most,” he said.

Betty Yee, California State Controller, praised the governor’s budget for prioritizing communities hit hardest by COVID. “Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement of California’s economic recovery plan demonstrates how Democratic leaders across the state are working to ensure every person builds back stronger,” she said.

Rent Relief in California: Understanding the State’s Program and How You Can Apply

By Gustavo F. Velasquez, Tunua Thrash-Ntuk, Special to California Black Media Partners

Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, paying rent has become a real struggle for millions of Californians. But help is available to renters and landlords through the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program.

Based on income level, ceive assistance with unpaid rent and utilities and with future payments.

Funding comes from the $2.6 billion in federal emergency rental assistance provided to support both state and local rent relief programs in California. The CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program isn’t the sole resource for rent relief for California renters and landlords; many cities and counties are either currently administering their own rent relief programs – or launching one soon.

Cities and counties with populations greater than 200,000 are employing one of three rent relief options: option A) the state-administered CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program; option B) a local city- or county-administered program using the same eligibility criteria as option A; and option C) a local city-or county-administered program using different eligibility criteria, in some cases, in combination with a portion administered by the state.

While the programs vary, the goals are the same: Keep people housed and provide quick assistance to those at the highest risk of eviction.

To simplify access to rent relief programs in California, the state launched HousingIsKey.com. The website directs renters and landlords to the programs that they may qualify for based on where they live. After applicants provide the address of their rental property (landlords) or their residents (renters), they are sent to a website where they can review eligibility criteria and complete an application.

Recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom is Misguided, Dangerous

By Cheryl Brown, Shirley Krohn and Dr. Marty Lynch, California Black Media Partners

Applicants can also call the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Call Center (833-430-2122) to find out which program to apply for and get help in a variety of languages.

Who’s eligible for the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Program Renters who have suffered a financial hardship because of COVID-19 and are behind on rent or utilities (or need help paying upcoming bills) are eligible to apply. They must have an Area Median Income (AMI) below 80% for the county they live in (this amount is calculated for the applicant during the application process). Either a renter or a landlord can initiate an application, online or through the call center, and both are encouraged to participate to maximize the amount of assistance received. The state’s program is prioritizing applications from households at the highest risk of eviction – those under 50% of the Area Median Income.

Landlords participating in the program receive 80% of an eligible tenant’s unpaid rent accrued between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, if they agree to waive the remaining 20% of unpaid rent.

Renters whose landlords choose not to participate in the program can apply directly, and receive 25% of unpaid rent accrued between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, which can help protect them from eviction under SB 91 if they pay that 25% directly to their landlords.

Renters can also apply to receive financial assistance

with future rent. They may also qualify for assistance with unpaid or future utility payments.

Applicant information is kept private. Renter’s information will not be shared with the landlord, and vice versa. Applicants may be eligible to participate in the program regardless of immigration status and proof of citizenship is not required.

Rent relief assistance does not count as earned income and will not interfere with eligibility for any other state benefit assistance programs such as CalFresh.

The CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program is supported through a $3 million public education and outreach campaign, which includes radio, digital media, out-ofhome, and print advertising. Thousands of statewide community-based organizations, trade and industry groups and businesses have been enlisted to assist with outreach to communities most in need. The state has also allocated $24 million to support on-the-ground organizations to work directly with applicants in communities throughout the state. To make an appointment with a local organization, applicants are encouraged to call 833-687-0967.

Gustavo F. Velasquez is director of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and Tunua ThrashNtuk is executive director at the Los Angeles Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LA LISC).

As senior citizens we want to commend Gov. Gavin Newsom for making us a central part of his “California for all” agenda.

He recognizes that California’s population is aging rapidly. According to the California Department of Finance, in just 10 years, our state’s population will have nearly doubled with as many older adults as in 2010. This shift will be felt by all of us -- young and old alike, while impacting our economy, our families, and our communities. His plan prepares us to meet the needs of this growing population.

From a senior citizen’s perspective, the attempt to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom is particularly misguided and even California’s history, we have a governor who has prioritized the needs of our aging population.

In June of 2019, Newsom signed Executive Order N-1419, calling for the creation and development of the California Master Plan for Aging, providing a roadmap for coordinated, system-wide change that equitably uplifts older adults, people with disabilities, and

Commentary their family caregivers. In this time of urgent need, the Master Plan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to boldly advance solutions over the next 10 years.

Over the years, our aging population has suffered greatly from the lack of attention to their needs - whether it’s poverty, lack of access to affordable housing, lack of transportation alternatives, lack of access to affordable in-home care, food insecurity, or workforce shortages.

Negative stereotypes and fear of aging have historically pushed aging issues into the background of societal discourse. The COVID-19 standing systemic problems that have been neglected for years. We know this to be true across the country, with other states facing similar challenges.

California’s Master Plan has the potential to re-imagine aging, affecting how society thinks about, plans for, and responds with equity and inclusion to the needs of a diverse aging population that has often been forgotten. Many said it would be impossible to accomplish in California, but today there is hope for meaningful reform, because of Newsom.

The Scan Foundation has

documented that Newsom has put his money where his mouth is, including in this year’s budget the funding needed for many of the programs targeting aging adults. the Master Plan provides a critical template for a better life for all Californians to age with dignity and justice. The Master Plan enables older Californians to age well at home.

With innovative solutions to address isolation and loneliness, it enriches all of our communities.

Recalling Newsom is grounded in misguided political animosity. Our state needs real, bold leadership. This is no time to jeopardize progress for older Californians by recalling the only governor who has recognized this issue and taken action. Older Californians should reject this recall.

It distracts us from the necessary work at-hand.

“I’m not just a score,” Romeo, a 17- year old Filipino American student told me this week on the phone. She was one of the students who had been asked to testify to the UC regents about the ized tests.

Last Friday, the major barrier to Romeo’s hopes and dreams was removed. In a historic settlement, the UC Regents agreed they would eliminate the SAT and the ACT from admissions and scholarship decisions through 2025. standardized tests were unfair

Opinion last year, but let COVID-19 be the excuse to put a temporary halt on the tests only through 2022.

The settlement now bans the test for another three years.

The suit should allow for a greater diversity of students of all backgrounds, but especially Black, Latinx, and Asian groups from less wealthy communities.

“I’m thrilled and so happy to hear the news,” Romeo told me.

The tests had put enormous pressure on her life, creating anxiety and self-doubt.

“Coming from a low-income household and a community that is constantly overlooked, I have always felt like I wouldn’t attain success,” she said. “I always based my perceptions and my entire life thought process on these scores. I believed if my score wasn’t good enough, then I wasn’t good enough.”

Romeo immigrated to the U.S. with her family from the Philip-

community volunteer with Little Manila Rising.

She also isn’t ambitious for a corporate life that would force her to leave her home. Instead, Romeo is ambitious for her community. Perhaps that is a quality turing, as Romeo prepares to apply to UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC Davis, where admissions will consider her uniqueness rather than her relative value to a madeup standard.

That makes the settlement make an assumption or observa- good news for all young people tion of me that they think is true out by that thing that has long based on a number.”

Romeo said she wanted colleges to see her for who she is and crutch--the SAT. Students like Rain now have a what her true potential represents.

In Stockton, Romeo has over- chance to stand out and be seen, come a lot. She’s a star student not by a number, but for who they (weighted GPA around 4.3) in a are.

“There’s more to me than what is seen on that piece of paper, and the number that score represents,” Romeo said. “I don’t

these tragedies. I will continue working with my colleagues in the Tri-Caucus to demand accountability for these attacks and ensure the safety of our communities.”

This legislation, among many things, would create a position at the Department of Justice to facilitate expedited review of COVID-19 hate crimes, require the Attorney General to issue guidance for the creation of online reporting mechanisms and the collection of disaggregated data, and direct federal agencies to work with community-based organizations to raise awareness of hate crimes during the pandemic.
