Sheriff Stands Down on Probate Eviction — Community Support Rally Sheriff Covers Porch Video Camera as Deputies Enter House with Guns Drawn
Part 1 By Tanya Dennis
What began as a long-running legal battle over the home she has lived in for 13 years escalated Tuesday into a dramatic confrontation between Zakiya Jendayi and Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies—a confrontation that has raised urgent questions about probate court decisions, due process and whether a pending bankruptcy filing should have halted the removal. Jendayi refused to leave her home Tuesday as approximately 15 to 19 deputies arrived to enforce a court order removing her from the property. The order followed a de-

she alleges are serious errors in the court record. Deputies noticed a Ring camera recording their actions and taped over the lens.
Adding to the controversy, Jendayi and her supporters state that opposing counsel, attorney Phillip Campbell, had the property placed in his name in October 2025 without notice to Jendayi. Campbell’s attorney, Alana Grice Conner, filed an opposition in connection with Jendayi’s bankruptcy case. Hours later, sheriff’s deputies arrived at Jendayi’s door. The confrontation was not simply about one woman refusing to leave her home. For Jendayi and her supporters, it represented the culmination of years of litigation and a larger fight over whether courts have the power to overturn the expressed wishes contained in a per-

Oakland Coliseum Project Opens Door for Small Businesses to Build Bigger

Courtesy photo. Part 3 By Carla Thomas As plans for the redevelopment of the Oakland Coliseum move forward, a key question is emerging alongside the vision for new buildings, entertainment and economic activity: Who will have the opportunity to build it? For the African American Sports & Entertainment Group (AASEG) and its financial partner Loop Capital, the answer could include a much larger role for Oakland’s small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. During a recent meeting with AASEG, Loop Capital and local construction and business leaders, participants discussed creating pathways that would allow smaller firms to move beyond traditional subcontracting roles, compete as prime contractors, secure larger portions of project work and ultimately become permanent fixtures within the new development.
Unlike many major developments where contracting discussions begin after large construction packages have already been established, the Coliseum conversation is engaging community early in the process. “We have an opportunity to start building capacity now, not after the contracts hit the street,” said Len Turner of the Construction Resource Center. “If we know what the opportunities are going to be, we can identify businesses, understand where their gaps are and start preparing them to successfully compete and perform.” Preparing companies to compete for larger contracts could include assistance with estimating, bonding, financing, workforce development, project management and contract administration. For some firms, the goal could be moving from a $500,000 subcontract to a multimillion-dollar prime contract. For others, success could mean transitioning from providing services during construction to operating restaurants, retail businesses or other enterprises inside the completed Coliseum development. Turner said the long-term measure of inclusion should extend beyond the number of businesses that receive contracts. “The real measure of success will be whether these businesses are stronger and more capable when this project is finished than when they started,” Turner said. That philosophy reflects a broader effort to address systemic disparities in public and private contracting. Oakland’s small and minority-owned businesses have historically faced barriers to capital access, bonding, along with being limited to smaller contracts.

Longtime BWOPA Member Brendalynn Goodall Appointed to California Workforce Development Board
Brendalynn Goodall. Courtesy photo. By California Black Media Gov. Gavin Newsom has appointed longtime Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA) member Brendalynn Goodall to the California Workforce Development Board. Goodall, an Oakland resident with decades of experience in public service, has held leadership positions focused on employment, aging services and assistance for underserved communities. “Brendalynn will be a great addition to this Board,” said Gay Plair Cobb, who served as former state Assemblyman Sandre Swanson’s alternate to the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB). “She understands that California’s non-profit organizations serve persons who have the most significant barriers to their labor market success and that the Board
should help these groups navigate the complicated requirements of state funding. “In other words, she will be a strong advocate for our most marginalized populations. Her voice is needed now, more than ever.” CWDB works with the governor to shape workforce policies, programs and investments designed to strengthen the state’s economy. It collaborates with employers, workers, labor organizations, educational institutions, community groups and California’s 45 local workforce development boards to expand access to quality jobs and respond to regional employment needs.

Arnold Perkins: At 85, a Life of Service, Faith and Giving Back
Dr. Arnold Perkins. Photo courtesy California Wellness Foundation. By Tanya Dennis The Post’s Healthy Aging Series addresses key components for healthy aging, mind, body and spirit. This article addresses the importance of having a strong spiritual or religious foundation.
As America’s population grows older, conversations about healthy aging often focus on diet, exercise and medical care. But for Dr. Arnold Xavier Cornelius Perkins, who will celebrate his 85th birthday next month, another ingredient has been equally impor-

tant: a spiritual foundation and a lifelong commitment to serving others. Perkins believes that health is not simply physical. It is emotional, mental and spiritual. And for much of his life, he says, his faith and philosophy of service have kept him vibrant, happy and connected to the world around him. “I am my brothers’ and sisters’ keeper,” Perkins said. “I am a ‘we’ person” and referenced the South African expression of ‘Ubuntu,’ which means ‘I am because we we all are.’ Born in Miami, Florida, Perkins came to California in 1954 with his family to attend a Seventh-day Adventist General Conference. His family ultimately
decided to remain in California, unwilling to return to the harsh racism of the segregated South. He grew up in Berkeley, attending Golden Gate Academy, Willard School and Berkeley High School before joining the Navy during the Vietnam War era. He later attended Merritt College when the Black Panther Party was emerging in Oakland, where he became involved as a volunteer for the Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He graduated from San Francisco State University and completed additional coursework at Cal State East Bay. His professional career became a remarkable journey through public service. Perkins served as

‘Eyes on Cuba’: A Conversation About Humanitarian Conditions Facing Cuba in Midst of Crippling U.S. Blockade
By Carla Thomas and Ken Epstein Community members gathered last weekend for an “Eyes on Cuba” conversation with two representatives of the Cuban embassy in the United States, focusing on the terrible suffering inflicted on the Cuban people by the intensified U.S. blockade and also discussing the historic connections between Black freedom movements in the U.S. and struggles for justice in Cuba. Held in downtown Oakland Saturday, Aug. 22, at the office of Oakland Rising, the event featured presentations by representatives of the Cuban embassy in Washington, D.C., First Secretary Sulia Páez Chacon and Second Secretary Gabriela Castillo, who spoke and answered questions about the harsh realities of conditions on the island, with a population of about 11 million, while also highlighting the his-
toric resilience and perseverance of the Cuban people. The gathering was presented in honor of the annual commemoration of Black August, a month of remembrance, education and reflection on Black resistance, political prisoners, liberation movements and the continuing pursuit of justice. For more than 60 years, Cuba has faced a blockade designed to cripple its economic growth and overthrow its government, going back to the 1959 revolution against the colonial regime imposed by the U.S. But the recently intensified blockade has cut off the island’s fuel supply, creating an energy and humanitarian crisis that is strangling the country. With the lack of oil supplied in the past by Venezuela and the U.S. threat of high tariffs on countries that dare to ship petroleum to Cuba, the impact on the water, sewage, Continued on page 2
Alameda County’s homeless coordinator, became a program officer with the San Francisco Foundation, headed a drug and alcohol program and ultimately served as director of the Alameda County Public Health Department for 12 years before retiring in 2006. But retirement did not mean stepping away from service. Perkins jokingly describes this stage of his life as being in “preferment,” doing what he pleases. What he pleases, however, is continuing to help people. He has worked with young people, served on San Quentin Prison’s warden advisory council, previously served on the Oakland Police Department Selection Commission and completed two terms as chair of the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Commission. He chaired the University of San
Francisco’s Helen Diller Stanley Comprehensive Cancer Center for 10 years and is now in his 11th year serving on the California Wellness Foundation board. Perkins even views a hereditary heart defect through the lens of his spiritual philosophy. “I have a hole in my heart, so I’m not physically perfect,” he said. “But I look at it as I have a hole because I pour my heart out to people.” That perspective may be one of his greatest lessons about healthy living. Perkins believes that kindness, compassion and community have a direct impact on a person’s emotional and spiritual well-being. “If I see an unsheltered relative, I’d give them that $20,” he said. “My responsibility is to take care.” Continued on page 8

Youth-Led Black August Event Brings Past to Present at East Oakland Boxing Association

By Jana Lang Propel Youth Reporter
The East Oakland Boxing Association (EOBA) and Youth Alive! came together on Aug. 21 to share with their community all that Black August means to them. Held at EOBA’s patio at 816 98th Ave. in Deep East Oakland, the two organizations hosted their second annual Black August Experience with a food tasting, financial literacy and mindfulness workshops, and voter registration with the League of Women Voters Oakland (LWV). Black August is known as a time to uphold the legacy of prisoners who protested their conditions by fasting, fighting and educating themselves on the economic and political circumstances that contributed to their incarceration. According to its website, “EOBA is a multi-service youth and community development hub that goes far beyond the ring. While rooted in the discipline of boxing, for nearly 40 years EOBA has also integrated robust programs in workforce development, food justice, afterschool enrichment, financial literacy, mentorship, and wellness.”
The mission of Youth Alive! Is to “break the cycle of violence, heal trauma, and uplift a thriving community of leaders, to save lives in Oakland and beyond” by serving “as mentors, youth leaders, counselors, case managers, intervention specialists and violence interrupters,” working “to help violently wounded people heal themselves and their community.” Through Coro California, another leadership organization serving young people across the state for 80 years, the young people gained a broader sense of Black August. EOBA Executive Director Dawna Williams spoke of how much she learned about Black August from the youth who created it all. “I let them educate me,” she said. Instead of talking about prison reform and mass incarceration, Williams and youth interns found that Black August meant so much more. “We would have done a disservice if we had just focused on who the people were and what their situation was…We tried to take their message from back in the day and make it relevant to the young people today. What do they need to know?” Youth interns created and
placed posters around the patio for participants to learn how traditional Black foodways, civic engagement, financial literacy, and the power of education are relevant to Black resistance today. An EOBA member described Black August with Youth ALIVE! as “a whole vibe. “This year we added the Fun Zone for the kids, because you really cannot go wrong with a Fun Zone. I also loved seeing everyone chillin’ in the outdoor lounge, catching some Vitamin D and just enjoying a Friday evening together.” The food tasting, a popular event from last year, featured Black traditional foods of blackeyed peas, johnny cakes and fried chicken. Led by Williams, the tasting included a talk about how these traditional foods were made and why they are forms of Black resilience. The “‘Plate of History’ was a favorite of the online writer’s. “Fun, educational, and did I mention delicious? Our Taste of History cook, Angela Southall, served up some good eats while connecting food to history and culture.” The writer also commended Continued on page 7

‘Eyes on Cuba’: A Conversation About Humanitarian Conditions Facing Cuba in Midst of Crippling U.S. Blockade
Continued from page 1 healthcare, food, and medical supplies have been devastating to the country, according to the speakers. “There are 100,000 patients now waiting for healthcare services,” said Chacon. “There are 32,000 pregnant women whose care has been disrupted. This is criminal and a collective punishment. This is genocide – if this blockade continues it will lead to a silent Gaza,” said Castillo. Organizers framed the conversation around humanitarian conditions, international solidarity and the importance of building connections among Black communities across national borders. The speakers shared that the country now experiences 1248-hour blackouts that impact transportation of goods, hospital services, even people’s sleeping patterns. “This is impacting the lifesaving (kidney) dialysis services, special needs kids lacking hearing aids, and even supplies crucial for fixing machinery such as ultrasound machines,” said Castillo. “Cuba is a Black country,” said Castillo. “Even if you are blondhaired and blue-eyed, your genetic heritage is African.” Cuba has long held a unique place in conversations about race, revolution and international Black solidarity. Its history has intersect-
ed with African liberation movements, anti-colonial struggles and debates about social equality throughout the Americas. “Eyes on Cuba” offered participants an opportunity to explore those connections while discussing the current crisis. “We have 7,000 containers of supplies already paid for by Cuba, but the companies now refuse to send the shipments for fear of U.S. sanctions on their countries,” said Chacon. Chacon and Castillo spoke of how the country rebuilt itself since the 1990s and created a healthcare and educational system so robust, that it rivals and even surpasses many so-called advanced countries. “We are from a generation born in crisis and we rebuilt, but today the pressure we are under is extraordinary,” said Chacon. Castillo explained that the relationship between Cuba and the U.S. government “has always been very complicated.” “(But) the relation between the people of Cuba and the people of the U.S. is something that we cherish, that we carry in our hearts, that is way older than the Cuban revolution itself: the cultural ties, the social ties, historical ties, the political ties. We’ve always had a lot in common.” Castillo said that blockade on Cuba is more than economic; it seeks to erase the people’s identity.
There are, she said, worldwide disinformation campaigns against Cuba and its people, “mainly centered in the lie that Cuba is a threat to the U.S. “ The mainstream media says that “Cuba is a country on the brink of collapse, that our government is not competent enough to run the economy,” she said. “But they almost never say that the root of everything is the blockade. They don’t say that despite the hard situation right now, the country is not paralyzed. We have reorganized the whole economy.” “For many young people, for Black people in Cuba as well, if it weren’t for the revolution, we wouldn’t be here,” said Castillo. “My grandmother from my father’s side when the revolution triumphed was 12 years old, and she was cleaning houses with her mom. She only had the possibility to study through elementary school. (After the revolution), she had the possibility to go to high school, and because of the revolution, she was able to study in the university and become a professional. I think that most of us in Cuba have the same story.” At the close of the event, speakers recommended that for more information, people can watch recently made documentaries on Cuba, “Teresita’s Dream” and “Cuba After Castro.” Local organizers will schedule follow-up discussions to plan solidarity actions.
Big City Mayors Ask for ‘Yes’ Vote on Housing Bond Measure; Conservatives Say ‘No’
Local and state officials gathered at the State Capitol on Aug. 18 to discuss Proposition 1, a statewide bond measure that would fund housing and homelessness programs. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee urged voters to approve the measure on the November ballot. Pictured to Lee’s right are Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland), Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty and Sen. Christopher Cabaldon (D-West Sacramento). CBM photo by Antonio Ray Harvey. By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media On Aug. 19, a bipartisan coalition of mayors from California’s largest cities gathered at the State Capitol to urge voters to approve Proposition (Prop) 1, an $11.25 billion housing and veterans bond measure on the November ballot. Also known as the Veterans and Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2026, Prop 1 would provide state funding for local affordable housing projects. Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty said cities need the measure’s support to address California’s housing crisis. “Without help from the state and this ballot measure, we can’t do our jobs in cities across California. We need this measure to do our jobs,” said McCarty, a former member of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC). “We need Prop 1 for the future of California, addressing the issues of this generation, and housing affordability for all levels of income throughout California,” McCarty added. The mayors said their jurisdic-
tions lack the substantial subsidies needed to move shovel-ready affordable housing projects forward and help address the state’s homelessness crisis. The coalition included Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. The city leaders were joined by Sens. Bob Archuleta (D-Pico Rivera) and Christopher Cabaldon (D-West Sacramento), as well as Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland). Supporters say the measure would help finance the construction of 40,000 affordable housing units statewide. “In Fresno, more than 1 of 5 residents live in poverty. That’s nearly twice the state average,” Dyer said. “We need more affordable housing at every income level to include single-and multi-family dwelling units.” Prop 1 would authorize $11.25 billion in general obligation bonds. Of that amount, $10 billion would support affordable housing and homeownership programs and be repaid from the state’s General
Fund. The measure would allocate $7.2 billion to build, acquire or rehabilitate rental housing through low-interest loans. Another $1.1 billion would support homeownership loan programs for low-and moderate-income households. Prop 1 would also provide $500 million for housing infrastructure projects; $450 million for farmworker housing grants and loans; $350 million for student housing at University of California and California State University campuses; $200 million in housing grants for Native American tribes; and $200 million for local government pilot programs aimed at lowering housing costs. An additional $1.25 billion would go to the CalVet Home Loan Program to help veterans purchase homes. Lee said the measure would provide critical statewide funding to complete much-needed affordable housing and permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness, building on a housing bond voters approved in 2018.

Gov. Newsom Signs Law Shielding Immigration Aid Workers From Doxing Threats
By Antonio Harvey California Black Media
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Aug. 22 designed to protect immigration service providers and humanitarian volunteers from targeted harassment, doxing and violence. Authored by Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland), Assembly Bill (AB) 2624, the Privacy for Immigration Support Services Providers Act, establishes an address confidentiality program modeled after California’s Safe at Home program. “AB 2624 is fundamentally about freedom -- the freedom from fear that lets our immigrant service providers do their jobs, and the freedom of the press to do their jobs without ever being conflated with the doxing this bill actually targets,” Bonta stated. “Those two freedoms were never in tension. Right now, our immigrant service providers are living in fear because of extremists looking to demonize the work that they do and the populations they serve.” Bonta and other proponents of the law say an increase in death threats, online abuse and anti-immigrant vigilante activity has made address confidentiality essential to protecting aid workers. Beginning Oct. 1, 2027, eligible immigration service providers, employees and vol-

unteers who face documented threats will be able to apply through Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber’s office to use a substitute address. Doxing has also affected state lawmakers. In August 2024, Assemblymember Lori D. Wilson (D-Suisun City), a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus, had private information published online without her permission. “I’m proud that with the signing of this bill, California is rejecting that, even when people try to make us feel that the political cost of supporting immigrant communities is too high,” Bonta stated. Sen. Tony Strickland (R-
Huntington Beach) opposed the legislation, calling it the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” Strickland said he is concerned the law violates the First Amendment and could chill free speech, investigative reporting and public accountability. Shirley is a conservative YouTube content creator, social media influencer and self-described independent journalist. He gained national political attention in late 2025 and 2026 after publishing viral videos alleging widespread fraud in government-funded programs. After Newsom signed the measure, Strickland argued that it threatens citizens and independent journalists seeking to
expose government waste and fraud. “I spoke out against it earlier this week. I’m concerned it could have a chilling effect on investigative journalism and protected speech. The law allows at least $4,000 in damages for certain violations,” Strickland posted on X the day Newsom signed the bill. Established in 1998, California’s Safe at Home program protects survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking, child abduction and elder or dependent adult abuse. It has since been expanded to cover reproductive health care and gender-affirming care providers. Bonta said AB 2624 extends a similar framework to another group of Californians facing comparable threats. Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, testified before the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee about her experience being doxed. “It happened to me and happened to a family member. They were looking for me and ended up in my mother’s home,” Salas said. “There are so many of my colleagues where individuals have shown up to their homes, who have been threatened, and this is not just our organization, but many others.”

Sheriff’s Deputies Ignore Bankruptcy Filing ...
Continued from page 1 she characterizes as false, while she contends that others were legally erroneous. Bean’s judgment in Jendayi’s case, Hamlin v. Jendayi, was later upheld on appeal, a development that Jendayi and her supporters say only deepened their concerns about whether the underlying record received meaningful review. Tuesday’s events brought those concerns from the courtroom to her doorstep. After covering the lens of Jendayi’s security camera, deputies broke the lock on the front door and entered the residence after she did not respond. Fearing for her safety, Jendayi had retreated to her bedroom. She later emerged nude with her hands raised as an officer entered the home with his gun drawn while other deputies remained outside and on the porch. Officers reportedly stated that their legal department had determined that the bankruptcy filing did not protect Jendayi from eviction. Deputy Sheriff S. White #2198 of the Court Services/Civil Unit showed a Post reporter what appeared to be incomplete bankruptcy documents that suggested the case had been dismissed. However, when the reporter independently accessed the bankruptcy docket, two additional entries reflected future hearing dates. The significance and legal effect of those docket entries remain matters for the bankruptcy court and other appropriate legal authorities to determine. Facing an officer with a gun drawn, Jendayi retreated back into her bedroom, locked the door and refused to come out, stating that she was suicidal. At approximately 6:30 p.m., an officer read a warning to Jendayi’s neighbors concerning law enforcement’s duty and response when a person is believed to be threatening to take their own life. The officers then left the premises. Adding another layer of legal
controversy to the confrontation, Jendayi and her supporters contend that the bankruptcy filing made before the attempted removal should have triggered protections against further collection or eviction activity. Questions surrounding the legal effect of the filing—and whether the Sheriff’s Office was legally permitted to proceed—are now expected to become central issues in the continuing dispute. Jendayi remained inside for some time after the officers left. Outside, neighbors gathered in growing numbers. Angry, alarmed and deeply engaged, they voiced support for Jendayi and began reaching out to Alameda County District 4 Supervisor Nate Miley, asking him to intervene while questions surrounding the bankruptcy filing and the actions of law enforcement are investigated. Although she remains in possession of her home for now, for Jendayi the events of Tuesday are only the latest chapter in a battle she says has exposed something much larger than the loss of her home. “The probate court is corrupt. It ignored Dr. Head’s wishes that were written into her will and trust, which made me the sole beneficiary of her home,” Jendayi said, referring to the trust established by Dr. Laura Dean Head upon her death in 2013, that made Jendayi executor of the estate. The trust was challenged by Head’s estranged sisters. Jendayi says she is not alone in her battle with the probate court. “Over 100 other Black families in Alameda County have lost their homes in probate court over the past decade. This is an injustice. Our homes are worth fighting for.” For background on the case: The Post News Group, “The Truth Is in the Transcripts,” Week of November 12–18, 2025.

Continued from page 1 For Perkins, giving does not deplete a person, it gives life back. “My life’s mission is to give,” he said. “And what I get back is life.” He knows firsthand that one person can change another person’s destiny. As a young man, Perkins stuttered and often fought because of the teasing and humiliation he experienced. A teacher, Jeff Tedisco, defended him and changed the direction of his life. “If it hadn’t been for him,” Perkins said, “I would have been in San Quentin.” Instead, Perkins now goes to Indaba Court, a restorative justice program, to help young people who have made wrong choices understand that they are part of a
larger community. “When they harm one person, they harm the community,” he said. His prescription for a vibrant life is simple: be understanding, be kind and remember that life is not all about you. “When we fold our arms, we can’t receive anything,” Perkins said. “But when we stretch out our arms and serve one another, we build community.” At nearly 85, Arnold Perkins continues to prove that a life rooted in faith, service and love may be one of the most powerful foundations for healthy aging.

Oakland Coliseum Project Opens Door ...
Continued from page 1 Association of Minority Contractors Northern California Chapter said the Coliseum redevelopment offers an opportunity to change that trajectory. Turner and Wagner are also members of a coalition of businesses led by Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce CEO Cathy Adams which is soon presenting plans to the City of Oakland that could also help lift minority and women-owned firms. “NAMC was born in Oakland fighting for minority contractors to have access,” Wagner said. “This cannot just be about checking a box. We want to see subcontractors become primes, small businesses become larger businesses and opportunities created that build generational wealth long after the construction is complete.” For James “Jim” Reynolds, Jr., president of Loop Capital, the potential to uplift local contractors and transform the area, are part of his plans. “When I met Ray and saw his commitment to the community, I knew this project would be a part of
his legacy,” said Reynolds. “When people of the community ask about opportunities, I know we will deliver opportunities to contractors and businesses for the long term.” AASEG and Loop Capital project 17,000 jobs will be generated. “We have a unique opportunity to not just develop the area, but change lives in Oakland,” said AASEG President Ray Bobbitt. As AASEG and Loop Capital successfully pair development with business growth, the impact could extend far beyond temporary construction jobs. “The ultimate legacy could include Oakland companies that entered the project as small subcontractors, grew into prime contractors and remained at the Coliseum as permanent vendors, operators and business owners,” said Post News Group Publisher Paul Cobb. In that scenario, redevelopment would not simply transform the property but realign who gets to own a piece of Oakland’s next economic chapter.

Opinion:
Why The March on Washington, 2026
By Dr. John E. Warren, Publisher San Diego Voice & Viewpoint Newspaper Chairman, NNPA Board of Directors
It is now 63 years since more than 250,000 people marched on Washington, D. C. for jobs, justice and the right to vote. That march was pivotal to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, both of which have produced changes that have touched the lives of each and every one of us. The Publisher of this newspaper was there at the Lincoln Memorial on that hot day in August of 1963 as people came by bus, train, car, horse and wagons, and on foot. Now, 63 years later, the struggle continues. Voting rights and civil rights are under attack. That’s not a surprise. What is necessary now
is that we must march and support those who are able to march in defense of all our rights now at stake. Those who can’t be there to march must support the ones who can. We can do that by ensuring that we are registered to vote as well as willing to march. This march, as it has been clearly stated by the organizers, is not about one election. This is about our reaching across generations to ensure that those who suffered and died for our rights did not do so in vain. Let’s make a commitment, right where we stand that we will be supportive; that we will not make this march a day of remembering a dream, but rather a step toward the final reality that we all deserve under this democracy that we say we live by and love. The struggle does indeed continue.

Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport welcomed Frontier Airlines back on Aug. 20, with a ribbon-cutting celebration marking the launch of new nonstop service between Oakland and Las Vegas. The celebration, held in Terminal 1, highlighted Frontier’s return to the East Bay airport after last serving OAK in 2023. The airline’s new Las Vegas service expands travel choices for Bay Area passengers headed to one of the airport’s most popular destinations. The new route is scheduled to operate 11 times weekly, including daily service, strengthening connections between Oakland and Las Vegas for both leisure and business travelers. The inaugural celebration brought together elected officials, airport executives and Frontier Airlines leadership. Participants included U.S. Representative Lateefah Simon (D-CA-12), Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, Port of Oakland Board President Stephanie Dominguez Walton, Port of Oakland Executive Director Kristi McKenney and Frontier Airlines Vice President of Public and Consumer Affairs Tyri Squyres. “We’re excited to restart our service in Oakland,” said Squyres. “The early reaction and response have been great.” “I’m so glad to have Frontier back,” said McKenney. “I appreciate the partnership we have. We work on it every day with our airlines, community, and our leadership. As your public agency, that’s what we’re here for; to create jobs and opportunities for our community.” Dominguez Walton also chimed in. “Today we are celebrating the inaugural flight from OAK to Las Vegas on Frontier Airlines. Oakland is the best way to and from the Bay,” she said.
Squyres highlighted the economic impact. “Oakland is a critical gateway for the Bay Area moving nearly 10 million travelers each year. OAK is driving local and regional growth keeping the City of Oakland moving forward, moving ahead and also competitive,” she said. “Expanding travel opportunities means not only more options for residents but also opening more high-quality jobs. And when travelers arrive through OAK, they directly support our neighborhoods, businesses, hotels, restaurants, and our cultural attractions.” Simon broke down what the airline’s reopening means to Oaklanders. “It’s the grandmother heading to the family reunion at a price she can afford. It’s the small business owner who gets to go to the industry tradeshow and be back by dinner. And it’s the family being able to come from Nevada to get excellent cancer care at our Children’s Hospital at a price they can afford,” she said. Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport serves as the primary airport for much of the East Bay and provides connections to the region through highways and BART. Operated by the Port of Oakland, the airport is part of a broader transportation and economic network that also includes the Oakland seaport and approximately 20 miles of East Bay waterfront. According to the Port of Oakland, its operations and business partners support nearly 100,000 regional jobs and generates nearly $175 billion in economic impact. Simon also emphasized the flights’ potential to create wellpaying jobs in the local community. “More flights means more work for real people in the community, in East Oakland. We know aviation work is steady, and it pays well. It’s work that brings in good labor jobs and prevailing wages.”
