Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them and these will continue till they have resisted either with words or blows or words or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress.

Secretary Ben Carson’s Bus Tour Arrives In Riverside For Faith And Public-Private Partnerships Discussion Grove Church visit part of nationwide “Driving Affordable Housing Across America Bus Tour” Community News

RIVERSIDE—U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson today visited Riverside, California, as part of his “Driving Affordable Housing Across America Bus Tour.” Secretary Carson participated in a roundtable discussion about affordable housing and toured The Grove Village, which consists of four 600 square feet cottages on church property that have been renovated through business donations and volunteer efforts.

The units house families who were at risk of homelessness.

“The power of the faith-based community can be seen here, through the united effort to care for our vulnerable neighbors and provide a safe place to call home in the Grove Village,” Secretary Carson said. “As California experiences a homeless crisis and rising housing prices, churches are on the frontlines as places of refuge for those who need it most.

Thank you to these families for allowing me into their homes and to the Riverside Community for the compassion you have shown for all of God’s people.”

"God has called us to love all people and not only to love but to care for the most vulnerable,” said Tom Lance, Pastor Emeritus of Grove Church. “The Grove is committed to ‘Bring God Glory’ in all that we do and when churches and faith communities step out and do whatever they can to eliminate homelessness and care for all those involved we believe that brings God glory. We will do whatever we can to work with all those in Riverside who want to stand together and do what this great city has always done and that is ‘work together’ and continue making Riverside a place where everyone feels welcome, safe and has hope for the future."

“Secretary Carson and HUD are leading efforts to find innovative solutions to the housing and homeless crisis, and this led them to Riverside,” said City of Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey.

“We are proud to share the successes and the lessons learned from our first steps in the housing journey with the faithbased community. The Grove Village happened in spite of the

regulatory barriers that are inhibiting affordable housing development, and this success cannot be repeated unless these barriers are broken down.”

During the roundtable discussion with faith and community leaders, Secretary Carson announced a new proposed rule issued by the Department that would eliminate burdensome requirements that unfairly imposed unique regulatory burdens only on religious organizations. HUD’s proposed rule is part of the Administration’s effort to ensure that our Nation’s religious organizations are treated equally by the Federal government.

The “Driving Affordable Housing Across America Bus Tour” is a part of the work Secretary Carson is undertaking as the Chair of the White House Council on Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing established in June 2019.

The Council’s eight Federal member agencies are engaging with governments at all levels— State, local, and Tribal—and private-sector and non-profit stakeholders on ways to increase our country’s housing supply so more Americans have access to affordable housing.

Secretary Carson’s “Driving Affordable Housing Across America Bus Tour” will run through June 2020.

Jarrett Adams: Falsely Accused Man Re-enters Society as an Attorney By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor

Jarrett M. Adams was wrongfully convicted of sexual assault at age 17 and sentenced to 28 years in a maximum-security prison.

After serving nearly 10 years and filing multiple appeals, Jarrett was exonerated with the assistance of the Wisconsin Innocence Project. (Photo: jarrettadamslaw.com)

Jarrett Adams spent ten years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Adams was wrongfully convicted of sexual assault at age 17. He was then sentenced to 28 years in prison at a maximumsecurity prison. After filing numerous appeals Adams was exonerated with the assistance of the Wisconsin Innocence Project.

Adams would end up serving close to 10 years before finally being exonerated in 2007. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin denied Adams’ petition for exoneration, but on June 20, 2006 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit overturned the District

Court and vacated Adams’ conviction.

The Wisconsin Innocence Project filed a petition on Adams’s behalf asserting there was insufficient evidence to convict Adams and that Adams’ lawyer had been ineffective for failing to locate and call a relevant witness.

After his ordeal, Adams became active in the movement to assist those who have no resources to have their cases challenged and closely reviewed. After his false conviction and imprisonment, Adams earned a Juris Doctorate degree from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in May 2015.

On Wednesday, January 29,

2020, thirteen years after being exonerated, Adams was admitted to the Wisconsin State Bar. Adams was joined by Keith Findley, a co-founder of the Wisconsin Innocence Project at a ceremony celebrating his bar admission at the Wisconsin State Capitol.

Founded in 1992 by attorney Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld in New York, The Innocence Project was created to assemble legal experts and law students in an effort to examine and investigate questionable cases and overturn wrongful convictions.

As of November 17, 2019, the Innocence Project has worked on 189 successful DNA-based exonerations. The Innocence Project cites various studies estimating that between 2% and 5% of all prisoners in the U.S. are innocent.

Trump Administration Cuts Food Stamps for at Least 700,000 Americans

By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor

The work requirement rule change will cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. (Photo: iStockphoto / NNPA) The Trump Administration has finalized implementation of new work requirement rules that would cut food stamp benefits for 700,000 Americans. The average food stamp payout is $36 per month. Though the Trump Administration estimates that under 700,000 people will be impacted by their policy changes, the Urban Institute estimates that the new Trump Administration rule changes will cause 3.7 million poor people to lose food stamps.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Brandon Lipps, the deputy undersecretary for the USDA’s Food Nutrition and Consumer Services, spoke with

reporters for under 20 minutes regarding the changes. The rule changes will take effect on April 1, 2020.

The work requirement rule change will cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. There are over 40 million people in the U.S. living in poverty — 1 of every 7 Americans and 12 percent of the total population. In the U.S., 27 percent of African Americans live in poverty and 46 percent of African American children (under age 6) live in poverty, compared to 14.5 percent of white children.

Celebrating Black History Month 10 Ways to Support Black Entrepreneurship By: Michael Vallante, U.S. Small Business Administration’s Associate Administrator for the Office of Field Operations, overseeing the 68 district offices and nine Regional Administrators; and Regional Administrator for Region IX, overseeing the agency’s programs and services in California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii and Guam

During Black History Month, we celebrate the achievements of African Americans and recognize the central role they, as individuals and communities, contributed to U.S. history.

At the U.S. Small Business Administration, our role is to support entrepreneurs in achieving their dream of owning a business.

We celebrate the incredible contributions that Black businesses make to their local communities and the American economy. We hear from Black businesses of the socioeconomic and capital funding challenges with starting and expanding a business.

Our goal is to work with Black entrepreneurs to overcome these entrepreneurship challenges.

When an entrepreneur starts their own business, they create new jobs in the community. In fact, small businesses generate two of every three net new jobs and deliver essential goods and

services to our community.

Here are the top 10 resources that small business owners can utilize today to make their entrepreneurship dream a success: 10 SBA Resources for Entrepreneurs: 1. Funding: Starting or scaling up a business requires capital.

Our online Lender Match program connects entrepreneurs with financial institutions that provide business loans backed by the SBA. SBA-Guaranteed Loans can be used for most business purposes, including operating capital and financing equipment and other long-term fixed assets.

2. Business Plan Development: Small Business Development Centers offer free, one-on-one counseling, low-cost training services, market research and more.

3. Mentoring: SBA’s resources, such as SCORE provide free mentoring and education to business owners to learn from others who have been through the entrepreneurship journey. SCORE is a network of thousands of volunteer business counselors around the country who mentor and educate small business owners. SCORE provides free in-per-

“We’re taking action to reform our SNAP program in order to restore the dignity of work to a sizable segment of our population and be respectful of the taxpayers who fund the program. Americans are generous people who believe it is their responsibility to help their fellow citizens when they encounter a difficult stretch.

That’s the commitment behind SNAP, but, like other welfare programs, it was never intended to be a way of life,” Secretary Perdue told reporters.

“Trump has called people liars and maniacs, caged children, and cut food stamps, and tried to take away health

insurance and let people die.

But Republicans are outraged that a law professor used his son’s name in an analogy?,” wrote Rev. Dr. William Barber referring to an exchange at a Dec. 4th impeachment hearing and food stamp cuts. Barber has been focused on a new age “poor people’s campaign” mirrored on the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960s.

“This is cruel and disgraceful.

Donald Trump will happily give millions of dollars in tax breaks to his billionaire buddies—but he’s making it harder for struggling families to be able to eat. I’ll reverse this shameful policy,” wrote 2020 presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

The rule change would limit states and force them to restrict food stamp use to areas that have a 6 percent unemployment rate or higher.

The national unemployment rate in October was 3.6 percent.

Income inequality and cuts to poverty programs are likely to be an issue in the 2020 campaign.

4. Scaling Up their Business: SBA’s Emerging Leader’s program is a no-cost “mini MBA,” that assists entrepreneurs take their business to the next level.

We encourage entrepreneurs to reach out to their local SBA office to find where this program is being offered and apply.

5. Assistance to Woman Entrepreneurs: Black women are starting their own business at record rates. Women’s Business Centers assist women in starting and growing small businesses. They provide a full range of services for women entrepreneurs at all stages of planning, implementation and growth.

6. Support to Veterans with Starting their Own Business: Boots to Business is an entrepreneurial education and training program available to active duty service members (including National Guard and Reserve), veterans and their spouses in starting or growing their business.

7. Taking their Business to the International Market: Export Assistance Centers help small businesses entering the international marketplace. Entrepreneurs can learn how to export, participate in

foreign trade missions and trade shows, translate websites, and design marketing campaigns.

8. Accessing Government Contracts: The Mentor-Protégé Program is designed for small businesses to learn from an experienced government contractor.

Women-owned business certification helps provide a level playing field for women business owners, as the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses certified as womenowned.

9. Online Resources: SBA.gov includes online resources and information about upcoming webinars to assist entrepreneurs in overcoming common business challenges.

10. Local Support: SBA District Offices can connect you to local SBA resources, mentors and training. Visit www.SBA.gov for more information.

As the Regional Administrator for the Pacific Rim for SBA, and as Associate Administrator for the Office of Field Operations for our agency, SBA recognizes the contributions of the Black community, the job-creating entrepreneurs and their families for their daily sacrifice to keeping local economies thriving. We encourage you to reach out to SBA.

San Bernardino Valley College Instructor Involves Students in Regional Air Quality Improvement Effort SB Community News

The San Bernardino AMERICAN News Staff Samuel Martin Sr.-Founder

Dr. Todd Heibel is involving students in regional air quality improvement effort.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. Students are learning about what it takes to breathe easier at San Bernardino Valley College. In recent years, the campus has become more active with South Coast Air Quality Management District and is on track to address the academic side of an environmental justice issue.

environmental studies and sciences. Dr. Heibel began looking more deeply into local air quality impact about 15 years ago following class visits from Todd Warden, a representative from SCAQMD. Last year, the agency funded the air monitoring sensors, which were placed on several campus buildings. He said it also provides a unique opportunity for students to access technology across several disciplines.

Citizen scientists will also have a role to play in assisting SCQAMD. Through Geographic Information System (GIS), students will learn to assess air quality data, and analyze pollutants. The student-led effort will also collect data, partner with biology students, as well as any other students who want to participate.

"We're also going to have some of our geography students, physical geography, weather, and climate students, incorporate weather station data," Dr. Heibel said. "We do really want to be as interdisciplinary as possible."

Biology faculty are taking an interest in environmental studies.

Eventually, Heibel said the campus is looking to start an environmental studies program, which could be a companion piece to the programming.

Heibel has attended quarterly meetings with nonprofits, industry, and other community colleges, with a focus on environmental justice and partnerships. He feels the data can provide the foundation needed to lead to other academic enhancements and policy change. Through his classes, SCAQMD presentations engaged students on the agency's role in air quality, community partnerships, and the need to track bad air in the Inland area.

He said the GIS maps presented

by Warden were very compelling.

Students learned that the basin exceeds federal limits for particulate and ozone pollution numerous days per year, and the epicenter is here in the Inland Empire, particularly on the SBVC campus. "We can see what the wind speed was,

the direction, and temperature pressure, etc., on the days when the ozone, particulate matter was absolutely terrible. And, was it within legal limits?" he said.

Last year, SCAQMD sponsored a workshop in partnership with the SBVC campus that sparked great community dialogue, he said. In attendance were students, faculty, staff, administrators, and strong participation from local advocates, including the Sierra Club and CCAEJ founder and former director, Penny Newman.

Through SCAQMD, community meetings are regularly held in the area, along with local activist Mary Valdemar, an SBVC representative, who led discussions in the fight for clean air.

Exposure to the data may also lead students into adjacent lucrative fields of the future, to renewable energy, with several related components. The career potential is huge, including broad access to STEM, as well as other fields, such as the SBVC automotive program, which Heibel said is heavily invested in renewables.

"It's wonderful that we have pioneers on campus that say we can bring non-diesel power alternative fuels to the logistics industry. We're not enemies of the logistics industry, but can we do this in a cleaner, smarter way?"

The goal is to fully integrate the air sensors into the college curriculum, and get students to the place of data collecting, analyzing, mapping, publishing the data, and develop communication skills. The other benefit is they will gain valuable experience presenting the data at professional conferences.

Most of all, students are learning to be better citizens. He said the process is by students, and for students - and by extension - it's by the community, and for the community.

"What can we do to mitigate it locally? We're in the midst of this grand experiment of climate change. Part and parcel of that, our air quality is unacceptable," he said.

When Brooklynn Evans was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2015, the only thing on her mother’s mind was figuring out how to save her child’s life.

Tamisha McNeally, a Contra Costa resident, was soon met with the prognosis that her young daughter’s in-hospital treatment would last many months—six months to be exact.

To be there for her daughter, she was going to need significant time off work. Tamisha was familiar with Paid Family Leave (PFL)—having utilized the program in 2009 to bond with a newborn Brooklynn— and

immediately consulted her employers human resource department. Unfortunately, the heartbreak for Tamisha continued as her employer alerted her that she didn’t meet the criteria for jobprotected leave. California’s PFL program does not include guaranteed job protection, which makes Tamisha’s story a reality for nearly 25 percent of the state’s workforce, which forces many people are forced to choose between caring for their families and keeping their jobs.

My Story “My Secret Isn’t A Secret At All” Health/Fitness News

(photo credit: instagram.com/judymulatto) Ever notice that when you ask some people about weight loss, they give you this whole complicated story about this and that leaving you more confused as to what you knew beforehand?

That’s why we appreciate and honor Judy in this week’s weight loss transformation story. Judy is a straight shooter, who tells it like it is and gives no excuses for her weight loss, weight gain or anywhere in between.

Whatever she’s doing, it working–very well! Judy shares on her social media that she’s been able to keep her 70+ pound weight loss off for over three years. But don’t ask her how she did it, unless you want to know the truth.

On her blog she warns: “This is a post for people willing to be honest with themselves and make some REAL lifestyle changes.”

“I’m approached on a regular basis mostly via social media regarding my weight loss journey,” continues Judy.

“People ask me for my exact meal and exercise plans and want me to write them a step by step plan for how to do what I did. I won’t do it for a few reasons. One being that, until you’re truly ready to change your life, it won’t matter what tools I give you. Another being that my journey is unlike any other and yours will be too.”

“I’m beyond flattered and humbled by people gaining such inspiration from my success, but I feel like my mission is far greater than shoving meal plans you might or might not shop for and exercises you may or may not do, down your throats. The goal with losing weight shouldn’t be about fitting into a particular size or seeing a particular number in the scale. It shouldn’t be about eating 700 calories a day or depriving yourself of your favorite foods. It shouldn’t be about losing weight at all, actually. It should be about creating a healthier you and in turn, dropping unhealthy weight.”

“It’s often said that losing weight is 30% exercise and 70% diet. I believe it’s 100% exercise and 100% diet. To truly be successful, you can’t afford to only make good decisions 30% or 70% of the time. Don’t misconstrue this as making nothing but perfect decisions, but instead making conscious decisions. For example, if you’re having one of those days and have a sweet craving that only a Snickers will cure, choose that candy bar 100% conscious of what effect it will have on your goals.”

“Have I had a fuck-up free weight loss journey? Absolutely

(Photo credit: instagram.com/ judymulatto) not, but I will say my mindset has helped me keep 90% of my weight off for over 2 years WITH some major life changes. Vegetarianism was not a goal for me from the start, but little did I know, decisions I had been making for months prepared me for it. First to go was pork, then beef, chicken and fish were the last to go. I tirelessly researched vegetarian recipes and food alternatives to ensure my transition would be as painless as possible.

Preparedness is key.”

“The key to maintaining a good diet is simply using the knowledge you already have. We all know fried foods and dishes laden with butter, cheese, and fat are unhealthy. CUT THEM OUT. Sodas/sugary juices? CUT THEM OUT. Cookies, cakes, pies, etc? CUT THEM OUT. Now let me be frank, I have a ridiculous sweet tooth, so I will proudly grab a cookie if I give in to my cravings but I also give in with the knowledge that while that cookie may help my mood, it will not help my results. Remember what I said about conscious decisions?

That’s one I make on a regular

basis.”

“Your success with exercise will be a direct result of your work ethic and dedication to the process. You don’t have to go in the gym on your first day and run an 8 minute mile or be able to bench 200lbs. I vividly remember my first day at Powerhouse and 10 minutes into a workout on the elliptical, I literally felt like I was going to die and had no intentions on going back. My friend was paying a daily rate for me to come because my commitment wasn’t there yet. But I went back the following week.

Then a few days later, then the next day until I was faithfully going each day after work for an hour. Thatbuilt my strength from there. With countless apps and Instagram pages devoted to beginner and unconventional fitness, it’s not hard to run across an in home workout to give a try.

My favorite apps are MyFitnessPal (calorie tracker/ food diary), Freeletics (workout app featuring exercises that require little to no equipment) and I search Instagram on a regular for different exercises to keep my workouts fresh.”

“I never treated my journey as if there was a deadline or an end date. Instead I approached it as a lifestyle change. I knew the changes I made would require my attention and effort if I wanted to truly live a healthy life. Now I understand for some, the goals aren’t that deep and perhaps a bomb ass dress for a wedding coming up or a birthday outfit you’ve had your eye on is the goal. Even with that, your success will depend on the same factors I’ve outlined here.”

“My secret to success isn’t a secret at all. Stop making excuses, start making changes, and most importantly, hold yourself accountable.”

McGhee, who worked previously for the Association, the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health and one of the world's leading voluntary health organization brands, returns following notable career success in marketing and executive consultation.

"With this hire, the American Heart Association acquired the best of all

worlds. Katrina is a transformative brand strategist and innovator.

Everywhere she's gone she has created measurable value by unlocking insights to connect the dots that orchestrate authentic consumer brand experiences," said Nancy Brown, American Heart Association CEO. "Additionally, Katrina is uniquely qualified as an experienced marketing veteran with a proven track record of understanding the singular complexities and communications challenges of the nonprofit sector.

We're excited by the potential Katrina brings and how it will translate on behalf of the American Heart Association and its lifesaving mission."

In her new role, McGhee will serve as the American Heart Association's chief brand ambassador, responsible for enhancing brand relevance, promoting

the organization's mission, and communicating its rich, lifesaving content to consumers and stakeholders across the United States and around the world. She will lead the development and execution of integrated program marketing strategies and community outreach, consistent with the Association's long-term health impact and fundraising goals. She will also help ensure good stewardship through her attention to the most effective and efficient alignment of marketing and communications resources across the charitable enterprise.

McGhee is a global marketing executive with more than two decades of experience in leading brandbuilding for world-class social purpose organizations. She began her career with the American Heart Association as marketing director, where she created national social marketing programs such as Take Wellness to Heart, Cholesterol Low Down, Covering the Bases, and Choose to Move – a 13week physical activity program that more than 100,000 women completed to go from sedentary to active lifestyles. While with the Association, she also launched several multicultural marketing programs and developed public-private partnerships that generated millions of dollars in annual revenue.

McGhee later served as the executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, where she was responsible for global marketing, business development and cause

marketing along with oversight of more than 200 corporate partnerships, more than 140 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series events and more than $350 million in annual revenue.

Most recently, she worked as an independent consultant and launched the Loving on Me Career Success Academy, helping empower women to take charge of their health, lives and careers. She has also served as a business adviser to corporate executives in the areas of strategic planning, brand building, fundraising and career development, with an emphasis on transforming underserved communities and impacting the lives of women, children and minorities. McGhee is a noted speaker and the author of two books: "Loving on Me!: Lessons Learned on the Journey from MESS to MESSAGE" and "BE BOLD BE BRILLIANT BE YOU: Lessons from the CSuite to Accelerate Your Career."

"The American Heart Association is emphasizing transformational communications and marketing in order to make a difference, and also leveraging the organization's brand as its most valuable asset," said McGhee. "Few nonprofits enjoy both the scale and vision to go to market in the most relevant and contemporary ways. It is a privilege for me to be able to return to the American Heart Association and work again – literally – to save lives."

McGhee will operate from the American Heart Association's National Center in Dallas.

Your Cancer Survival Rate May Be A Matter Of Participating In Clinical Trials, Or Not Health/Fitness News

Research has shown that cancer patients in rural areas have lower survival rates than those in urban areas. For example, cancer death rates between 2011 and 2015 were 180 per 100,000 people in rural areas and 158 per 100,000 people in urban areas, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But in the new study, researchers found that the survival rate gap shrank when urban and rural cancer patients were all participants in clinical trials. A review of cancer clinical trials contends that the differences in survival rates between rural and urban cancer patients may be due to the kind of care they receive.

The study looked at nearly 37,000 cancer patients from across the United States who took part in phase 2 or phase 3 clinical trials between 1986 and 2012. The patients had any of 17 different types of cancer, including brain, breast, colon, leukemia, lung, lymphoma and ovarian and prostate tumors.

In the five years after enrollment in the trials, there was no significant difference in survival rates between rural and urban patients for all of the types of cancer except one.

Rural patients with estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative breast cancer didn’tlive as long as urban patients.

That may be due to a number of factors, such as timely access to follow-up chemotherapy after their first round of cancer treatment, according to the researchers, who are with SWOG, the international cancer clinical trials network funded by the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

“These findings were a surprise, since we thought we might find the same disparities others had found,” said study co-leader Joseph Unger. He is a SWOG biostatistician and health services researcher at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

“But clinical trials are a key difference here. In trials, patients are uniformly assessed, treated, and followed under a strict, guideline-driven protocol. This suggests that giving people with cancer access to uniform treatment strategies could help resolve the disparities in outcomes that we see between rural and urban patients,” Unger said in a SWOG news release.

“If people diagnosed with cancer, regardless of where they live, receive similar care and have similar outcomes, then a reasonable inference is that the best way to improve outcomes for rural patients is to improve their access to quality care,” Unger concluded.

Is Paid Family Leave Doing Enough To Protect All Californians?...continued from page 3 (caregiving) leave in California, an employee must have one year on the job, worked 1,250 hours in the year prior to leave, and work for a business with at least 50 employees. “In my orientation, PFL was never explained, so when the human resources representative questioned my tenure, I was lost. Understanding available options from the beginning would have allowed me to spend valuable time tending Brooklynn during the most stressful time in both of our lives,” said Tamisha.

PFL provides partial pay to employees who need to take time off from work to care for a seriously ill family member (child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner) or bond with a new child entering the family through birth, adoption, or foster care placement. Employers do not contribute a cent to PFL—the program is entirely funded by employees through their payroll deductions.

Since Tamisha had only been on the job for three months and was thus unprotected, she was ultimately laid off. As a single parent, Tamisha was faced with figuring out how she would pay her bills and take care of her daughter while she endured lifesaving treatments. Brooklynn needed her mother to dry her tears, calm her fears, and comfort her during those long days and nights in the hospital. She also needed her mother’s reassurance that she would be able to see again and walk again. The road

to recovery wasn’t easy.

Today, Tamisha and Brooklynn are survivors. Brooklynn is cancer-free and living life as a healthy 10-year-old. Tamisha still struggles to fully understand why there isn’t consideration for workers, no matter their tenure, to care for seriously ill family members or a newborn baby. The fact that PFL does not offer job protections for all workers contributing to PFL, particularly for single parents, seems to be a glaring oversight.

There is good news on the horizon, however. Governor Newsom is preparing to extend PFL benefits from six to eight weeks come July 2020 and has proposed extending job protection to all workers regardless of employer size.

“It’s scary to find yourself facing homelessness due to reasons beyond your control.

Your whole life changes when given a cancer diagnosis and it would be nice to not have to worry about how you will live and job security,” added Tamisha.

Tamisha wants to be clear that she was never looking for handouts. Her experience has simply made her an advocate of why PFL expansion is necessary in more areas than just providing additional leave time. Bringing her story to the forefront is important to other single parents faced with unforeseen situations that do not fit the typical PFL mold and she hopes to challenge California legislators to do better to support hard-working caregivers such as herself.

SBA Offers Disaster Assistance to California Small Businesses Economically Impacted by the Severe Storms and Flooding State/Government News SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering lowinterest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses economically impacted by the severe storms and flooding in San Bernardino County that occurred Nov. 27 Dec. 1, 2019, SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza announced today. SBA acted under its own authority to declare a disaster following a request received from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s designated representative, Mark S. Ghilarducci, director of the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services on Feb. 12, 2020.

The disaster declaration makes SBA assistance available in Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties in California; La Paz and Mojave counties in Arizona; and Clark County in Nevada.

“SBA is strongly committed to providing the most effective and customer-focused response possible to assist California small businesses with federal disaster loans. We will be swift in our efforts to help these small businesses recover from the financial impacts of this disaster,” said Administrator Carranza.

“Small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred,” said Director Tanya N. Garfield of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West.

“These loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact. Disaster loans can provide vital economic assistance to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing,” Garfield added.

Eligibility is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 3.875 percent for small businesses and 2.75 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years and are restricted to small businesses without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship.

The Inland Empire Small Business Development Center is offering free, personalized counseling to help affected businesses in their recovery.

Businesses may contact Vincent McCoy by emailing vmccoy@iesmallbusiness.com, calling (951) 781-2345 (office) or (951) 757-7086 (cell), or by visiting the Small Business Development Center at 603 N. Euclid Avenue, Ontario, CA, 91762, Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to call first for an appointment.

Applicants may apply online, receive additional disaster assistance information and download applications at https:// disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (800) 877-8339.

Completed applications should be mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

The deadline to apply for economic injury is Nov. 13, 2020.

Gayle King Blames CBS For Her Questions About Kobe Bryant’s Rape Case Local/National News

Nationwide — Journalist Gayle King is reportedly upset at her long-time employer, CBS News, for resurfacing and sharing a video clip of her provocative line of questions about Kobe Bryant’s sexual assault case from 2003, which has sparked a national outrage against her.

King, who is the host of CBS

This Morning, has come under fire from many Twitter users and celebrities including Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Ari Lennox after seeing the clip.

King addressed the issue through a video posted to her social media accounts, defending herself and blaming her home network, CBS News.

Soul Beach Music Festival Hosted

by Aruba Goes Platinum Celebrating 20 Years of Luminous Performances

“I know that if I had only seen the clip that you saw, I’d be extremely angry with me too,” she said. “I am mortified, I’m embarrassed and I am very angry.

Unbeknownst to me, my network put up a clip from a very wideranging interview — totally taken out of context — and when you see it that way, it’s very jarring.

It’s jarring to me. I didn’t even know anything about it.”

In the clip, King asked Leslie about Bryant’s sexual assault case which was eventually settled in 2005. During the interview, she says, “It’s been said that his legacy is complicated because of a sexual assault charge which was dismissed in 2003, 2004. Is it complicated for you, as a woman, as a WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) player?”

Leslie then responded, “It’s not complicated for me at all… I just

never see — have ever seen him being the kind of person that would be — do something to violate a woman or be aggressive in that way. That’s just not the person that I know.”

Bryant’s untimely death in a helicopter crash last month revived the issue of the 2003 sexual assault, but King claimed that “last thing I would want to do is disparage him (Bryant) at this particular time.”

Meanwhile, CBS said in a statement that King “conducted a thoughtful, wide-ranging interview” with Leslie but the clip that was posted “did not reflect the nature and tone of the full interview.” Their spokesperson added that they “are addressing the internal process that led to this and changes have already been made.”

“You Hypocrites…!...continued Up! For I am coming like a thief in the night, when you least expect it. {Revelation 16:15; Matthew 24:43; 1 Thessalonians 5:2].

Continuing things as you have, what willful ignorance!

Set thine house in order for thou shalt die and not live [Isaiah 38: 1-5].

Listen, God said to the prophet Ezekiel, “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore, hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me” [Ezekiel 3:17]. This demand of Jesus to repent goes to all the nations. It comes to you, whoever you are and wherever you are.

This is the demand of Jesus to every soul: The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near [Mark 1:15]. Repent!

The hour is urgent! Return to the Lord with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your hearts. Do not delay your decision. Immediate action is required! REPENT NOW; and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord” [Acts 3:19]. For “Now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation” [2

Corinthians 6:2].

Wars and rumors of war.

Famines. Pestilences.

Earthquakes. Persecution of followers of Christ.

Lawlessness. The Gospel of the Kingdom being preached throughout the world.

Jerusalem surrounded with armies and the “abomination of desolation.” Pay attention!

Understanding the signs of the end times is not just an intellectual exercise. They are warnings that are intended to motivate us to change. Discerning the times: A call to action! See the urgent need to repent, change and prepare for God return! Indeed, the fig tree is putting forth buds.”

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. [Revelation 1:3].

This day, I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death…

Now choose life, that you and your descendants may live. [Deuteronomy 30:19]

Witness For Justice #982 The up and coming animation film director and producer Lymond Ponder released his first official animated short film series, The Tales of Twilight Season 1 on Amazon Prime. Lymond is the grandson of Samuel Martin Sr, the man who started The American News Paper. In the 1990s before the American news paper evolved from paper to the internet, Lymond made entertaining hero based themes comic strips for the local community American news paper.

Today he reaches a milestone and produces something the whole world can view and be intrigued and entertained by. Lymond gathered his own voice actors, built and composed 3d assets, created his own CGI/3D world and brought to life his own written short stories. In the style of shows like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and Tales From the Darkside, Lymond made four episode short films each with different entire synopsis.

Most independent film makers in this competitive and wide film production world find it very challenging to get their work out there and known. It is a trending thing in the independent film production community to submit ones film projects to film festivals to better reach a wider audience, help awareness, and establish one self with other screen writers in community. However, Lymond has taken a more direct and ambitious approach of simply releasing his work and self

promoting it with Google ads and Facebook ads. The series can be viewed on Gumroad.com and AmazonPrime*. The trailer can be viewed on Youtube* and Vimeo.

We here at the American News wanted to take the time to congratulate Lymond’s work accomplishment and encourage readers and viewers like you to take a peak at what he has produced.

“You Hypocrites…!

By: Lou Yeboah

Lou Yeboah

“...You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, how is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time,” says the Lord! Tell me, “What Day is It? - What Hour is it?” I tell you, it is the Day of Preparation [2 Peter 3:8-12]. It is the hour of WATCHING! [Matthew 24:44]. Therefore, take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighted down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of

this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. [Luke 21:34]. For ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning [Mark 13:35]. Stir yourself and don’t be slothful. “Knowing the time, that NOW it is high time to awake out of sleep: for NOW is Your salvation nearer than when you first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light” [Romans 13:11-12]. “Behold, I come quickly!” [Revelation 22:7].

Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake (continued in next 2 columns)

Heaven on Earth Chris Davies Team Leader, Faith INFO (Faith Education, Innovation, and Formation) I believe that God is inviting us into visionary co-creation of worlds we do not yet know. I believe there are whispers of hope and moments that feel like fiction in the midst of the world that crushes us with a violent news cycle and puts people’s trauma on the front stage for games of politicking. I am seeking those moments in the midst of the preparation to move masses towards justice for all.

What would you have done if you were there?

What are you doing now?

These are questions of eschatology, questions of the end of days and heaven on earth, the Day that it is here but not yet, the work for our granddaughters, and our ancestors.

We are weaving in and out of time. History is overlapping itself and imploring, “What would you have done if you were there?” followed ever so closely with “What are you doing, now?”

In January, the leadership team of UCC Justice and Local Church Ministries went to Alabama. We walked through the Birmingham jails where Martin Luther King, Jr. was held (and where people are currently incarcerated). We walked through the Civil Rights Institute and the 16th St Baptist church where four girls, Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley (#saytheirnames) were murdered because of white rage.

We listened to those narratives, hearing a lingering question in the background: what would you have done if you were there?

We went down to Montgomery to the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice.

We spoke together about the clear line from the domestic slave trade of people of African descent

to the mass incarceration and the profit-driven industry of prison, the legal system, and policing.

Therein lies the present question: what are you doing, now?

This Black history month, I am aligning with the call for white folks to do our own work and to amplify the wisdom and work of leaders of color. What would you have done if you were there?

What are you doing now?

In the current time and place, how are we—how am I— acknowledging the systems, and the people who uphold them, profit from them, and witnessing them in silence? How do I show up and alongside whom? How am I moving resources and to what end do I put my energy? How do I—how do we—live in peace, knowing that people are still behind the wire?

The large-scale work can overwhelm me, but it’s usually not about the big actions and reactions. It’s about all the small actions, every day.

For a heaven on earth, a world beyond this one: gather the moments of hope. Imagine a world where all people are free. Find your own stake in the work, go internal and heal, take the time.

Resist the systems that are designed to keep poor people poor and imprisoned. Invite people into a collective story that is amplified by our voices, our participation, our prayers, our work together toward a just world for all. Hold the hope and help hold up the healing for collective liberation. This is the call.
