Mia Bonta

Congresswoman Barbara Lee Endorses Mia Bonta By Kiki Congresswoman Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, endorsed Mia Bonta for East Bay Assembly District 18, which includes the cities of Oakland, Alameda and San Leandro. The special election is being held because seat was vacated by her husband, Rob Bonta, who was appointed California Attorney General by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The remainder of Rob Bonta’s assembly term is through 2022. Lee tweeted “[l]et’s do this @MiaBonta! The Bay Area is lucky to have such cate.” Bonta thanked Lee via Twitter for her support. Lee also said of Bonta that she “ . . . will bring a progressive, social, economic and racial justice lens to our state legislature.” “She will stand up for communities that have been marginalized and underrepresented for too long. Mia is committed to addressing our community’s most pressing issues, such as homelessness, environmental justice, criminal justice reform, helping families and businesses recover from the pandemic, and reopening schools safely. Mia has a strong record of serving East Bay children and families,” Lee said. Mia Bonta is currently board president of the AlamShe is also endorsed by U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, Secretary

Oakland Trybe Food Giveaway a Success Through Comm-Unity By Richard Johnson

First and foremost, I thank the Most High for making the June 5 “A Day of Giving,” a food and necessity giveaway a success. It was quite amaz-

ing to see all the sectors of our Oakland communities come together to make this event a fruitful and worthwhile effort at Ralph Bunche School and de Fremery Park in West Oakland from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

It was a volunteer-inspired effort that I describe as ‘Comm-Unity,’ which simply means common unity because it matters not what part of town you’re from. Whether a volun-

What was remarkable was the participation of those who were formerly incarcerated. Some members of this segment of the community showed up with their families and children and showed out by volunteering along with businesspersons and clergymen to help feed needy families. The lines of vehicles stretched for more than oneand-a-half miles. More than 900 vehicles that had presented

the Post newspaper coupon or had registered at the website address were presented with boxes of food and supplies. More than 200 volunteers loaded each vehicle after giving each driver a choice of a selection of the 52 different food items and household cleaning supplies on various pallets. Deliveries were also made to some elderly residents who did not have vehicles. The remaining food and supplies were serve the needy.

Ramachandran: Why I’m Running for District 18 Assembly Race She is the Only Candidate Who Lives in Oakland in the District 18 Assembly Race By Janani Ramachandran Note: Janani Ramachandran is a social justice attorney. She has the sole endorsement of organizations rooted in Oakland, including ILWU, Oakland East Bay Democratic Club, Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club and Oakland Tenants Union. Oakland makes up 66% of Assembly District 18. Yet all the other major candidates live in Alameda or San Leandro. Our district has not had a representative from Oakland since the 1990s.

Artists Partner with State for “Your Actions Save Lives” Campaign By Bo Tefu California Black Media

More than 20 California artists partnered with the state for the “Your Actions Save Lives” campaign. The effort was created to uplift and celebrate the resilience of communities and encourage safe practices that stop the spread of COVID-19 as Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to reopen the state on June 15. The 14 original art projects included in the campaign range from murals, interactive exhibits, and live performances from artists based in communities highly impacted by the COVID-19, including Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton and San Diego. “The arts have an opportunity to be uplifting and healing to your emotions,” said Jessica Wimbley, an African American digital artist who collaborated with the state for an advertisement on an Oak Park billboard in Sacramento and a digital art display at Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento. “It’s been a breath of fresh air to work on this campaign. There’s been so much negativity and divisiveness that’s happening in the world that is heavy on the spirit,” said Wimbley. “It’s been transformative to work on this project,” she added. The state partnered with the Center at Sierra Health Foundation in Sacramento for the project which relies on the power of art to communicate the importance of health awareness in addition to getting vaccinated. “These accomplished artists are tapping into their culture and creativity to share empowering messages with communities that have been hard hit by COVID-19,” said Chet P. Hewitt, president and CEO of the Sierra Health Foundation. Four female artists, including Wimbley, have used the project to tap into their respective cultures to create powerful visual artworks that empower and inform their diverse communities. The interactive installation, ‘Benevolent Animals, Dangerous Animals,’ by Masako Miki located in Oakland’s Chinatown was inspired by Japanese folklore. Sunroop Kaur, a classical

Black Educators Discuss Education Equity Ahead of School Re-Opening This Fall By Joe W. Bowers Jr. California Black Media

The California Association of African-American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA) held their 13th annual professional development summit May 26 – 28th in San Diego. The theme for this year’s conference was, “Achieving an Equity Driven Education.” Co-hosted by the San Diego Jessica Wimbley, a Sacramento-based African American artist, uses her digital art to empower Black people to have agency in their own lives.

artist, whose Spring mural is located in Stockton was inspired by her Punjabi-Sikh heritage. In San Diego, the mural ‘Stop the Spread’ by Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio honors her Mexican heritage. Artistic performances and visual displays created by all the artists in the “Your Actions Save Lives” campaign have been exhibited since April and will continue until June this year. Masako Miki -- Oakland The interactive art installation ‘Benevolent Animals, Dangerous Animals’ by Miki was inspired by the idea of a treasure hunt throughout Chinatown in Oakland. The pandemic forced people to stay indoors, but the public art installation encourages people to explore different shops and restaurants while admiring the art. The artwork was inspired by shapeshifting animals in Japanese mythology. “I wanted to make this positive and uplifting because when need to have more positive images,” said Miki. The current reality of the panthat we need to have imagery that gives us the ability to envision something positive,” she said. In Japanese culture the tiger is a majestic animal that is fearless, she says. The cultural message in the artwork echoes notions of toughness. “Resiliency is our strength,” and the benevolent animals featured in the art are meant to encourage people to, “respect each other and have empathy together,” said Miki. Recent incidents of violence against Asians have fueled racial tension in America, in ad-

dition to the violence toward African Americans nationwide. Miki aspires to use her artwork to dispel stigmas related to COVID-19 about the Asian community. Sunroop Kaur -- Stockton Kaur, an artist of South Asian descent, aims to decolonize classical art by using people of color as the center of attention in her paintings. The large population of Punjabi Sikh immigrants in in Kaur’s artwork. Kaur is intentional about using people of color as the focal point in her ‘Spring’ mural located at JMP Restaurant Supply. “This mural is a visual celebration of my community and its resilience to not only survive in a foreign land but to thrive,” said Kaur. The mural draws from the idea of, “decentering whiteness within my work by using people of color” she said. Jessica Wimbley -- Sacramento Wimbley, a renowned African American artist, uses her digital art to empower Black people to have agency in their own lives. The Oak Park Billboard features Wimbley’s husband as the model. The representation of dark-skinned Black men is important when there have been many incidents of people dying in the media. “It’s really important to bring humanization to the representation of Black people in media. And focus on producing an agency, and empowerment,” she said. California Black Media’s coverage of COVID-19 is supported by the California Health Care Foundation.

School District, the conference was held in-person and virtually. For their safety, in-person participants were required to have been vaccinated or to have tested negative for COVID-19. According to Dr. Daryl Camp, CAAASA president and superintendent of the San trict, “CAAASA was one of the last organizations to host an inperson conference in 2020 and host an in-person conference in 2021.” CAAASA welcomed about 150 in-person attendees. About 600 other participants joined the conference online. Those attending were education practitioners, including school administrators, teachers, and staff; education researchers; policymakers; and community members inspired and motivated to learn ways to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for African American and other students of color by promoting equity and social justice and improved school climates. The conference theme, “Achieving an Equity Driven Education” acknowledges the need, “to ensure the next normal will achieve an equity driven education for students,” says Camp. “While the pandemic has presented many challenges,

it has also provided an opportunity to re-envision what an equity-driven education may look like for underserved students.” The conference was organized around seven goals: •Align strategies that promote access to excellence for boys and girls of color; •Utilize Social Emotional Learning (SEL) supports to address the impact of trauma and poverty on learning and academic achievement; •Use assessment data (Single Plan for Student Achievement SPSAs) and Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAP) as strategic and equity-driven tools to positively impact academic achievement; •Increase meaningful family engagement and identify strategies and resources to improve graduation rates and increase college readiness and access for students of color; •Provide strategies to ensure the safety and wellbeing of youth in school and the community, including issues such as violence, social justice concerns,

was divided into a total of six morning and afternoon plenary lectures and attendees had access to their choice of 55 seminars and workshops that supported the conference goals. The opening plenary was titled “National Health & Educational Concerns Due to the Impact of COVID-19.” The speakers were Dr. Robert Ross, president and CEO of The California Endowment; Dr. Theopia Jackson, president of the Association of Black Psychologists; and Dr. Nana Efua B. Afoh-Manin, founder of myCovidMD. They spoke about depression, anxiety, stress, isolation and the increasing number of Black students contemplating and committing suicide due to impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, among other factors. The afternoon plenary was “Black Girls Institute: Challenges & Crises Faced by Black Girls in Public Schools & Society.” It addressed issues related to how girls of color are bearing the brunt of policies and practices that diminish their opportunities and harm their potential. The panel was moderated by Dr. Sonjhia Lowery, Superintendent, Old Adobe Union School District.

Some Upbeat News for Black Businesses The Care First Resolution Passed Still Reeling From Pandemic Losses - Now It’s Time to Fund It By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media

Next week, after more than a year, California is expected to lift the majority of its COVID-19 related restrictions and reopen its economy at almost-full capacity. But as the state prepares for a long-anticipated comeback, many Black businessowners say enterprises across the state that African Americans own face an uphill road to recovery. “It’s a state of disrepair. They Tara Lynn Gray, director of the Business Advocate. Black-owned business operators who are struggling will need able to them, Gray told California Black Media (CBM) at a luncheon hosted by the California Black Chamber of Commerce in Sacramento. “(Black businesses) have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19,” Gray said. “Fortunately, the governor has stepped up and provided $2.5 billion dollars in relief funds to all small businesses with priority to the disadvantaged communities of color.” In February 2020, there were 1 million Black-owned businesses in operation around the United States, according to a University of California at Santa Cruz report. About six weeks later, after the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the number of Black business owners had dropped to 440,000, a 41%, reduction. Many of them had to shut down their businesses for good. During the same time, only 17% of white proprietors had to shut down their businesses, UC Santa Cruz research shows. Overall, nearly 4 million minor-

annual sales total close to $700 billion, shuttered because of COVID-19. But despite the grim statistics, a number of small business help available both at the state and federal levels for most businessowners. by Ethnic Media Services last month, speakers discussed how small businesses in California and around the country can emerge from this crisis, catch the wave of what seems to be a gathering economic boom, or conThe main objective of the nesses, particularly minority owned ones, connect to various sources of funding created to help them recover from the pandemic. The key is to apply for the money, said Everett Sands, CEO of Lendistry, a leading, Blackled Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and Community Development Entity (CDE) that is also a small business and commercial real estate lender. “Let’s make an assumption. If you are allowed to open, and you can open, then therefore you should be able to receive some type of revenue,” Sands said. “What we’ve learned about the

pandemic is that most opportunities are coming a second time. If you look at the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), it came a third time. But it is important for businesses to apply.” The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is a federal revenue replacement program designed to sustain small business jobs during the ongoing public health and economic crisis. May 31 was the last day for small business owners operating in lowincome neighborhoods to apply for the third round of PPP loans.

Daniel Rivers is a Black man with schizophrenia. During one of his bouts of homelessness, he broke into a car searching for refuge and ended up in Santa Rita, Alameda County’s jail. (Daniel’s name is changed for

dress the County’s crisis of racial inequity. Like Rivers, a disproportionate number of county residents who are pushed into the criminal legal system because of inadequate community-based mental health support are Black. Black people represent only 11% of Alameda County’s population, but make up 47% of the county’s homeless population, 48% of the Santa Rita jail mental health unit population, and constitute 53% of people who cycle in and out of both the criminal legal and hospital systems. Now that the Care First Resolution has passed, the Board of Supervisors needs to fund it. How much is needed? The County’s Behavioral Health

Rivers had previously cycled in and out of short-term detox facilities for three years before schizophrenia was even diagnosed. Because fragmented, short-term behavioral health treatment was all he had access to in the community, he was jailed for behavior related to his mental illness. In jail, his mental and physical health deteriorated. According to Rivers’ mother, his time in Santa Rita left him “traumatized and zombie-like.” Rivers is one of hundreds of incarcerated people with mental illness from Alameda County. As many as 44% of the people at Santa Rita and 42% of people sent to state prisons from the county have a mental illness, some of the highest proportions in the state. Mental health care at Santa Rita is woefully inadequate and its inadequacy is often used by neling more money into the jail. But no one heals in a cell. More funds for the jail have not prevented ongoing abuses and deaths. Last month, on the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed the Care First, Jail Last Resolution. Created by Decarcerate Alameda County, this policy prioritizes a continuum of care and services for people with mental illness who are at risk of incarceration. The goal of Care First is to address the County’s paucity of community-based mental health resources that push people like Rivers into incarceration. We hope that this policy will also ad-

sources to fund $50 million for mental health services proposed last year. The unhoused and jailed populations heavily overlap and $820 million is needed over the -

lessness in Alameda County. Last year, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Home Together Plan to begin to address that need, with $50 million allocated for 2021. While an important start to implementing the Care First policy, more is needed. Since the Board of Supervisors also just approved funding to design a mental health wing at the jail, advocacy is needed to make sure community-based resources, not cages, are the priority. If the Board of Supervisors believe that #BlackLivesMatter, then adequate funding to implement the Care First Resolution is a must.

and cleaning supplies to last for months. I pray that this approach of providing a sustainable amount of food that was inspired by the leadership of Mrs. Egypt Ina Marie King will shine as the beacon of hope, pride and promise before our God Almighty. Nothing is greater than the powers of God and when our hearts are focused on freely serving others, we then are giving praises to God. I thank Rev. Ken Chambers and the Interfaith Council of Alameda County (ICAC) for coordinating a pop-up, drop-in clinic in a tent to provide COVID-19 vaccination shots during our food give-away.

fact, OUSD has the highest percentage of charter schools out of any school district in the state). Oakland deserves a legislator who will prioritize winning immediate return of full local control of our schools to our residents as soon as possible. It takes a genuine understanding of the hardship and trauma that for Oakland’s youth at the State Legislature – something that I unequivocally vow to do. Tenant Protections Tenants comprise over 60% of our city’s residents. Thanks to decades of local activism, Oakland has one of the stron-

gest rent control ordinances in the state. However, our city’s hands are tied on many state laws that prevent tenants from being meaningfully protected. For example, the state law Costa Hawkins prevents Oakland from being able to expand rent control to units constructed after 1983 and to single-family homes. Having supported tenants facing eviction in Oakland in the course of my legal career – including during the pandemic – I’m acutely aware of the need for stronger statewide tenant protections to support our city. For example, despite Oakland City Council passing a resolution calling upon the State Legislature to repeal the Ellis Act, or at least suspend

these evictions during the pandemic, our legislature refused to act. As a tenant advocate who helped launch the coalition that spearheaded Ellis Act legislation, and as a tenant myself (if elected, I would be just 1 of 3 tenants, out of 120 state lawmakers), I would bring a tenants rights framework to our legislature to support the needs of Oakland tenants. Gun Violence Last year, nearly as many Black Oaklanders died from a It isn’t enough to just say we need tougher statewide gun control laws – California already has some of the strongest in the country. Oakland deserves a state

legislator who understands the root causes of this violence and the state action needed to address it – including more funding for community-based organizations that do meaningful prevention work, economic development and expanded career opportunities for our youth, and more broadly, treating gun violence as a public health crisis – all of which are pillars of my platform. This special election, vote for the only Oakland candidate on the ballot, a person who will take action based on the needs of our city, and work towards achieving economic, educational, racial, and environmental justice.

Myra Estrada Named City’s Youth Poet Laureate By Olivia Wynkoop, Bay City News Foundation

Myra Estrada of Oakland High School has been selected as Oakland’s Youth Poet Laureate. Estrada will receive a $5,000 scholarship and the opportunity to read her work in appearances throughout the year. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf made the announcement at an award ceremony last Friday. Estrada, 16, read two of her pieces at the ceremony, expressing her frustrations both as a woman and as a person of color in the era of social media activism. Both pieces touched on the ways she goes about life because of her identities, such as always carrying mace with her to feel safe, and pondering what it would be like to check “white” under the race question in application forms. “I’ll preach my wisdom ‘til the end of days. I am who I am and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Estrada concluded at the end of one of her writings.

Myra Estrada Estrada was among six other finalists in the competition who all submitted three writing pieces and were scored by a panel of judges based on their performance and an interview component, in which they were to demonstrate their leadership abilities. Aside from writing poetry, Estrada is involved in the Latino Honor Roll and an assortment of academic extracurriculars. “There is no talent, no voice, no power like Oakland youth,” Schaaf said. “That I know will always be the case.” The Oakland Youth Poet Laureate, which has been in existence for

10 years, is a program sponsored by Oakland Public Library Teen Services in an effort to amplify youth voices ages 13-18. Laureates and finalists in years prior went on to perform on local radio stations, festivals and other events. One even wrote a poem for a ceremony in London last year for the United Nations’ 75th anniversary of their charter. Sharon McKellar, supervising librarian for teen services, says that

the laureate program reminds the community of how important youth voices are. “It’s just to lift youth voices and their ideas around our community, about what our community should and can look like,” McKellar said. “They know a lot and they have a lot to say, and it’s pretty powerful and important stuff. This is a way of adding legitimacy and helping them be heard.”

Legislative Summary From State Senator Nancy Skinner By State Senator Nancy Skinner Here’s a brief summary of the bills I introduced this year that are still moving through the legislative process. All so far were passed by the state Senate and are now on their way to the Assembly: • SB 8 Extends Housing Crisis Act of 2019: The Housing Crisis Act helped expedite housing that meets local rules by asking local governments to process permits faster and not change the rules midstream. SB 8 extends the sunset on the Housing Crisis Act until 2030. • SB 16 Coming Clean on Police Records: Thanks to my 2018 bill, SB 1421, Californians now have access to a limited set of police misconduct records. SB 16 expands access engaged in biased or discriminatory behavior, unlawful arrests and searches, and excessive force. • SB 65 California Momnibus Act: California’s infant and maternal death rates, especially for families of color, persist at high rates. SB 65 expands preand postpartum services, such port, to reduce death rates and ensures data is collected to understand what’s causing these disparities. • SB 65 California Momnibus Act: California’s infant and maternal death rates, especially for families of color, persist at high rates. SB 65 expands preand postpartum services, such port, to reduce death rates and ensures data is collected to understand what’s causing these disparities. • SB 81 Judicial Guidelines for Sentencing Enhancements: California has over 160 enhancements that add time to a

Sen. Nancy Skinner. Photo courtesy of Nancy Skinner. prison sentence over and above the time required for the crime committed. SB 81 establishes parameters for judges to determine whether a sentence enhancement is needed to help ensure that sentences are the length the judge believes is necessary to protect public safety. • SB 262 Bail Reform: I’m a joint author of SB 262 to reform CA’s bail system so no one is kept in jail simply because they can’t afford bail. • SB 290 Clarifying CA’s Density Bonus Law: Allows low-income student housing and for-sale low- and moderfrom California’s Density Bonus law. • SB 354 Relative Placement: Reduces barriers that prevent children in foster care from being placed with relatives and extended family. And great news, the funding to support my bill, SB 364, Free School Meals for All, was included in the Legislature’s budget proposal, which means millions of our K-12 students will get a free meal at school. I invite you to follow me on Twitter @NancySkinnerCA and Facebook and to visit my Senate website for regular updates on the status of my legislation and information on the state budget.
