Wins

79th Assembly District

By Dr. John Warren Publisher

Secretary of State of California and only the fourth woman in the history of the

The 79th Assembly District seat in the California State Legislature will now be occupied by Dr. Akilah Weber. With over 300,000 registered voters in the district, there was only an 18.4 percent voter turnout. There were a total of 55,578 ballots cast. With 269 polling sites, only 1648 ballots were cast at those sites in total; 53,930 ballots were cast by mail. Weber, a Democrat, beat out four other opponents, one of whom was Republican, Marco Contreras, who got 18,428 votes compared to Weber’s 28,8834. Since Weber got 52.14 percent of the votes cast, there will be no runoff. The lowest number of votes went to Aeiramique Glass Blake, the only other African American on the ballot. She received 624 votes in total.

Dr. Alikah Weber, an obstetrician/ gynecologist physician at Rady Children’s Hospital, ran on a platform of the need for more doctors in the legislature during this health pandemic. She said there was only one other physician in the legislature. She replaced her mother, Dr. Shirley Weber, in the Assembly.

Dr. Shirley Weber resigned from her assembly position to become the first African American woman appointed

to Take Sides in Voting Rights Battle

Battlelines are being drawn across the country between those who oppose the voter suppression tactics exemplified by the Georgia legislature and voting and Civil Rights activists fighting against these draconian measures.

In the California Legislature, there are a few bills being proposed that aim to specify qualifications for those who take the oath to maintain public safety.

Last week, 72 Black executives signed an open letter challenging their corporate counterparts across the country to join the fight against a Republican-led campaign to pass a slate of laws that would restrict voting access in as many as 47 states.

Kenneth Chenault, managing director and chairman of General Catalyst, a venture capital company and former CEO of American Express, said in a CNBC interview that what he and his Black colleagues had heard from corporations was what he characterized as “general statements about their support for voting rights and against voter suppression.”

“But now we’re asking, put those words into action,” said Chenault, one of the organizers of the executive letter.

“Corporations have to stand up – there is no middle ground,” he and his colleagues said in the letter. “This is about all Americans having the right to vote.

But we need to recognize the special history of the denial of a right to vote for Black Americans. And we will not be silent.”

In interviews on CNN and CNBC, Chenault went further: “Fundamentally, if you can’t oppose this legislation – that’s the lifeblood for Black Americans, the right to vote. We can’t be silent, and corporate America can’t be

silent. And if they can’t speak out on this issue, what can they speak out on?” he said.

Corporations have been awakened.

Last Friday, April 2, executives from about 200 companies stepped up to support the effort to protect voting, not just in Georgia but in the other states trying to suppress and manipulate the vote.

The companies released a statement that said in part: “… our elections are not improved when lawmakers impose barriers that result in longer lines at the polls or that reduce access to secure ballot drop boxes … there are hundreds of bills threatening to make voting more difficult in dozens of states nationwide,” said the statement by ViacomCBS, Target, Salesforce, Dow, HP and Estee Lauder among others. “We call on elected leaders in every state See FORCED page 2

One such bill is Senate Bill (SB) 271, also known as the Sheriff Democracy and Diversity Act, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley).

It would allow any registered voter to be eligible to be voted county sheriff in California.

“We want to reimagine a sheriff’s department that is accountable to the community they are supposed to serve, and the only way that happens is if we the people have the ability to run a diverse group of candidates, candidates that are concerned with taking care of our communities and not dominating, incarcerating and dehumanizing them,” said Cat Brooks, executive director of the Justice Teams Network, an organization committed to eliminating “state violence.”

As it currently stands in California, only individuals who possess Peace Officer Standards and See BILLS page 2

When President Biden signed the country’s third federal COVID-19 stimulus package with direct payments to individuals into law on March 11, it extended the increased unemployment benefits that first went into effect with the CARES Act a year prior.

Supporters of the legislation say, with hundreds of thousands of new unemployment claims being filed

across the country, unemployment aid is still a necessary part of pandemic relief.

The American Rescue Plan Act extends both the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) and the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) programs through Sept. 6, 2021. In addition to these extensions, each recipient will get an extra $300 of Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) each week through Sept. 6.

ARTICLE CONTINUATION Bills: continued from page 1

Training (POST) certificates can run for the office. This requirement went into effect in 1989, making Michael Hennessey, the longest serving sheriff of San Francisco, the last civilian in California to be elected to the office in 1980.

“Since 1988, California voters have come to accept that only individuals with a law enforcement background can competently perform the job of a sheriff. SB 271 puts an end to that myth,” said Judge LaDoris Cordell, former Independent Police Auditor for the city of San Jose. Cordell went on to explain why she believes needing law enforcement experience to properly run the office of the county sheriff is a myth.

“In 2015, I chaired a Blue Ribbon commission that was convened to evaluate the county’s jails in the aftermath of the beating death of Michael Tyree, a mentally ill inmate who was beaten to death by three guards,” Cordell said. “What our commission found was a jail system that was horribly mismanaged. We also encountered tremendous resistance from the sheriff and her command staff to providing transparency into the jail operation … so much for law enforcement experience.”

In California’s long history, there has never been a Black person elected to the office of the county sheriff. Both Wiener and Cordell believe that SB 271 could change that.

“SB 271 returns our state to pre-1988 standards while also bringing us into the 21st century with a populace that is exhausted with the status quo and wants a voice and choice in who sits in one of the most powerful positions in our county,” Cordell said.

According to the text of the bill, “Many current Sheriffs lack mental health or de-escalation training. As recent COVID-19 outbreaks in our jails demonstrates, the skills Sheriffs need to protect public safety include strong management, leadership, and the ability to move quickly and make difficult decisions, rather than the ability to fire a weapon.”

SB 271 has passed the Senate’s Public Safety Committee with a 4-1 vote. It is now being reviewed by the Governance and Finance Committee. A hearing was been set for March 16.

In the lower house of the state Legislature,

Assemblymember Jim Cooper (D-Sacramento) is proposing Assembly Bill (AB) 60. It would disqualify individuals who have been subjected to a military tribunal for any offense that would have been a felony in California from becoming peace officers in the state.

“The bill would also disqualify any person who has been certified as a peace officer by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training and has had that certification revoked by the commission,” the bill’s text reads.

On March 17, AB 60 was referred to the Assembly committee on Public Safety. In the same vein, Assembly Bill (AB) 17, also introduced by Cooper, would disqualify an individual from serving as a peace officer if they have been discharged from the military for an offense that would have been a felony in California.

As it stands now, these conditions would not legally bar a person from being hired at a law enforcement agency.

“Existing law makes the personnel records of peace officers and custodial officers and specified other records confidential and limits the disclosure of those records except in investigations or proceedings concerning the conduct of peace officers or custodial officers, or an agency or department that employs those officers, conducted by a grand jury, a district attorney’s office or the Attorney General’s office,” the bill’s text reads.

Assembly Bill (AB) 89, introduced by Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D-Los Angeles), would increase the qualification standards to become a peace officer.

The Assembly Public Safety committee is currently reviewing AB 17. AB 89 would raise the minimum age to become a peace officer from 18 to 25, with the exception of individuals under 25 with advanced degrees.

AROUND TOWN

Messages are left on the plaza outside the Hennepin County Government Center Monday, April 5, 2021, in Minneapolis where the second week of testimony in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin continues.

Chauvin’s: continued from page 1

For many, it has brought back memories of the disturbing video of Floyd’s last moments as he gasped for breath with Chauvin’s knee on his neck. The video galvanized protests in cities across the U.S. and the world, as the words “Black Lives Matter” took hold.

“I had to mute the TV,’’ said Lisa Harris, 51, of Redford Township, just west of Detroit.

“Hearing Mr. Floyd continue to say he can’t breathe and call for his mother _ it was a lot. It’s been a lot to watch.”

Steven Thompson remembers closely watching the 2013 trial of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-yearold Trayvon Martin in Florida and feeling blindsided. Zimmerman, who identifies as Hispanic, was acquitted on all counts in the unarmed Black teen’s death, including second-degree murder.

“I didn’t expect that outcome,’’ Thompson, 35, said. “But I’m a lot less ignorant now.’’

apprehension, as she ponders what Floyd’s killing and the way the trial has unfolded so far says about America and its values.

Chauvin, 45, who was eventually fired from the police force, is accused of killing a handcuffed Floyd last May by pinning his knee on the 46-year-old Black man’s neck for 9 minutes, 29 seconds, as he lay facedown. Floyd had been accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a neighborhood market.

The first week of the trial has included emotional testimonies from several people who witnessed Floyd’s death: The young woman, a teenager at the time, who filmed Floyd’s last moments and told the courtroom she stays “up nights apologizing to George Floyd;’’ the 61-year-old man who sobbed on the stand, compelling the judge to order a 10-minute recess; the firefighter who begged officers to let her check Floyd’s pulse as he gasped for air, saying, “I was desperate to help.’’

The grief and trauma of these witnesses has been on full display, filling in details from new perspectives to create a fuller picture of the scene that people around the world watched over cellphone video last May.

Thompson is choosing not to watch the trial of Chauvin, the former Minneapolis officer charged with murder and manslaughter, even though he feels there is a strong case against him.

For Kyra Walker, it was enough to tune out and shut down Twitter one day.

“I definitely have a fear of being let down.

And instead of investing my time and energy into it now, knowing how these things go, I’d rather be pleasantly surprised,’’ the Los Angeles resident said.

Floyd’s death was traumatizing enough for Walker, but seeing conversations about the trial on Twitter this week brought back a flood of emotions she has grappled with over the course of the last year.

Marlene Gillings-Gayle said she had planned not to watch the trial to preserve her peace of mind. But she’s found herself watching almost all of it. She’s had to force herself to go outside and take walks, or risk watching the trial all day and feeling upset.

“I had a moment where I just felt broken and I started thinking about Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor and how in such a short time frame, it was like one Black death after the other, without a break,’’ she said. It has made her feel paranoid at times for her 11-year-old Black son anytime he leaves home.

The retired high school teacher who lives in New York City describes herself as a political person who likes to stay aware of current events and vocalize her opinions.

“I’m trying not to be pissed, because we’ve been here and done that too many times,’’ she said, referring to other police officers acquitted in the deaths of unarmed Black people. She’s watching the trial with

“I realized I just didn’t have it in me to watch all this,’’ she said.

The trial is only furthering the uneasiness many felt when the video of Chauvin pressing his knee to Floyd’s neck started to circulate online.

“It took me a while to watch it because I know what these videos are about. I know the ending already,’’ Thompson said.

The pressure on corporations has ratcheted up since Kemp signed into law a raft of measures that has significantly increased restrictions on Georgia voters. The laws restrict absentee and early voting and restricts the ability of African Americans and other people of color to vote.

Among the law’s provisions are the imposition of new limitations on ballot drop boxes that limits their widespread deployment and allows for them to be placed in voting sites; requires voters to submit their driver’s license or state ID number as part of their vote-by-mail application. If they have neither, they must submit a photocopy or electronic image of an acceptable form of

identification such as a passport); and criminalizing the act of providing food and/or water to voters waiting in line to vote.

But the most alarming part of the law, activists and advocates say, is the provision that gives state officials the authority to override county election board officials and allow Republicans to potentially disqualify voters in Democratic-dominated areas.

Kemp and his GOP counterparts have been defiant as criticism and actions against them increases. In addition to the prospective boycotts of Home Depot, Delta and Coca Cola, comes the announcement that Major League Baseball brass is moving the All-Star game to another venue this summer. According to one tourism official, the state stands to lose as much as $100 million because of what Kemp and other Republicans call “cancel culture.”

“I want to be clear, I will not be backing down from this fight,” he said at a press conference to strike back at his critics. “We will not be intimidated, and we will not be silenced. Major League Baseball, Coca Cola and Delta may be scared of Stacey Abrams, Joe Biden and the Left but I’m not …”

EDITORIAL/COMMENTARY/OPINION Black farmers get COVID Corporate America, relief they deserve Politics and You EDITORIAL

By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher

T h e Black Vo t e s Matter project in the State of Georgia has demonstrated once again the connection between politics and the dollar. This project has approached corporate America in the person of Coca Cola, Delta, Home Depot, UPS and others, demanding that they take a position against the voter suppression laws enacted by the Georgia legislature.

The idea is that corporate America funds elected officials, and those officials legislating against the public interest in terms of voting rights must not receive funding in terms of political contributions. We know that money is the life blood of politics; that withholding dollars from those legislating against voting rights represents a nuclear weapon that is capable of reversing voter suppression.

We know that 43 states now have more than 561 bills pending in their state legislatures to reverse and constrict voting rights. We know that the State of Texas is one such state and that corporate giants like AT&T, Pepsi and American Airlines, corporate giants in the state of Texas, are now speaking out against the state’s pending voter suppression laws. The reason Corporate America

is speaking out is that many remember that companies do not want boycotts or public demand that we not spend money with them. Black Votes Matter has placed a dollar value on voter suppression. More and more state legislators will have to choose between dollars or suppressing voter rights.

It would appear that each of us now can play a part in the fight against voter suppression. We know that it is the Republican members in control of state legislatures that have introduced these 560 bills aimed at limiting the right to vote through a variety of proposals. We must look at the state in which we live, look at the members pushing voter suppression bills and then bring pressure on those corporations such as AT&T, Delta, Dell, Pepsi, Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, Home Depot and others that depend on our dollars.

The nasty word, “boycott”, of corporations doing business in South Africa, ended South African apartheid and returned democracy to the people.

The politics of how we spend and who we spend our dollars with has now become as important as our right to vote. Each of us must examine what role we can play in making sure that those we spend with support our right to vote. So far. So good. Let’s keep up the pressure.

By Ben Jealous President of People For the American Way If you ever begin to doubt that elections matter, think about Black farmers.

The new COVID relief law takes significant steps to address decades of shameful discrimination against Black farmers by the federal government.

And that would not have happened without voters putting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House and giving Democrats a majority in the Senate.

discriminatory policies at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Farmers Home Administration lending agency abused Black farmers for decades.

Black farms were falsely classified as unproductive.

Farmers were unfairly denied loans that they were entitled to receive. The government stalled and buried their complaints about discrimination. Land was

ers continued into the 21st Century: one study found that from 2006 to 2016, the federal government was six times as likely to foreclose on a Black farmer as on a white one.

Money handed out by the Trump administration to survive the trade war he started, and to help farmers deal with the pandemic, mostly bypassed Black farmers. Last fall, Senators

Fewer Black farmers The discrimination is well-documented. So is its devastating impact on Black farming families. Consider a few statistics. One hundred years ago, there were more than 925,000 Black-run farms.

By 2017, that number had dropped by more than 95 percent.

Today less than two percent of farmers in the U.S. are Black, and 98 percent of farmland is owned by white landowners. Part of the problem is state laws that often force the sale of inherited farmland for pennies on the dollar. But this is not a problem confined to the Confederate states or the Jim Crow era.

This is largely a problem of intentional discrimination by employees of the federal government.

Decades of abuse Bigoted bureaucrats and

taken and given to white farmers. Senate Democrats reported recently that Black farmers in the South have lost more than 12 million acres of farmland since the 1950s.

In 1982, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission said that the Farmers Home Administration’s unresponsiveness “hindered the efforts of Black small farmers to remain a viable force in agriculture.” During the 1990s, many farmers were cut out of meaningful help they should have gotten from lawsuit settlements.

Official neglect and mistreatment of Black farm-

Cory Booker, Elizabeth War ren and Kirsten Gillibrand introduced the Justice for Black Farmers Act. It was designed to address and correct the discrimination that “caused Black farmers to lose millions of acres of farmland and robbed Black farmers and their families of hundreds of billions of dollars of inter-generational wealth.”

Keep it up And then the 2020 elections created powerful opportunities for Black farmers.

During the first week of the Biden-Harris admin-

istration, the Department of Agriculture halted debt collection and foreclosure for thousands of farmers behind in federal loan payments, many of them Black.

Newly elected Sen. Raphael Warno ck—thank you, Georgia voters —introduced the Emergency Relief for Farmers of Color Act, which became part of the COVID relief legislation known as the American Rescue Plan.

That measure, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden includes $10 billion to support agriculture. About half of that is set aside to help Black farmers through debt relief, education, training, and land acquisition. The law includes $4 billion in direct aid to get farmers out of debt.

And it includes $1 billion to create and fund a commission to deal with the longstanding discrimination and inequity in USDA programs. These long-overdue steps toward reversing generations of wrongdoing are not just the result of a single election. They are the fruit of decades of organizing

by Black farmers and their advocates to document and challenge racist discrimination and injustice. And to get Black people and their allies to vote.

Organizing and elections can change the world.

Together we are making— and remaking—history.

Teacher Hesitancy Led to Safer School Reopening Plans

By Joe W. Bowers Jr. California Black Media

A year ago, K-12 education was closed across California as part of an effort to mitigate the spread of the COVID -19 virus. At that time, it was assumed that children could be a primary driver of the virus like they are Influenza A. It took a few months, but health officials determined that COVID -19 is not a pediatric driven pandemic.

Young kids can get the virus, but they are not significant transmitters.

Many school districts including Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified have recently announced plans to make in-person instruction available to students who want it. President Biden has been pushing for all K-8 schools to open by May 1 which is the 100th day of his administration. As part of the push to safely reopen schools the Biden administration is allocating about $125 Billion for K-12 education as part of the American Rescue Plan.

Students and parents are anxious for schools to safely open for in-person instruction. In general, Black and Latino children have struggled more academically than their Asian and White peers.

Keeping up with schoolwork has been complicated by not having access to technology and reliable internet. Concentrating on studies has been more difficult when they live in communities that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19.

For many families remote learning created a childcare crisis, forcing some parents to leave their jobs.

Many parents became frustrated with balancing jobs and supervising their children’s lessons.

The power to restart in-class instruction is vested in local school boards. It’s their responsibility to develop a plan for the safe opening of their schools relying on direction from the governor and

Legislature and following safety protocols provided by the CDC and state and local public health directives.

Black and Latino parents, while wanting their children to return to school, have experienced the inequitable impact of Covid-19

and are concerned about exposing their children to the virus in a school setting and bringing it home. While these parents understand their children are not faring well academically and mentally with distance learning they are not

willing to risk their safety.

Contributing to the unease that Black and Latino parents have about school reopening classrooms has been their children’s teachers expressing their hesitancy to returning to school without all teachers and staff having the opportunity to be vaccinated.

Studies show that transmission in schools appears to be primarily from teacher to teacher, then from teacher to student, but almost never from student to teacher. So vaccinating teachers is important to everyone’s school safety.

While the stance that the teachers took may have delayed in-school learning, Newsom decided that 10 % of vaccines a week would be reserved for teachers and other school staff. Although AB 86 and CDC guidelines have not included vaccinating teachers in the strategy for safe school reopening, school districts have included it as part

of their teacher union agreements.

In addition, regular testing of students and staff is another strategy being adopted by school districts to detect virus on campus before it can spread.

While zero risk of COVID-19 infection is not possible, results from hundreds of school districts opened across the county and the world show virtually no communal spread of the virus, if safety protocols are followed. By listening to the concerns expressed by teachers, school districts have made in-person instruction safer for students and given parents more confidence to send their kids back to school.

Public Forum Held on

Rise in Hate Crimes

By Cori Zaragoza Contributing Writer

On March 31st, the Humanity Movement held a virtual forum to discuss the recent rise in hate crimes experienced by marginalized groups across the city.

Moderating the forum were five top San Diego leaders: Executive Director for San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Z. Lopez; City Attorney, Mara Elliott; Deputy City Attorney, Jennifer Nelson; City Council President, Dr. Jen Campbell; and City Mayor Todd Gloria. For an hour and a half, the group listened and answered questions by

constituents, providing legal and even emotional counsel at times.

Bradley Machado, a caller, recalled his first of two experiences involving a hate crime. In March 2019 he was assaulted and called a derogatory slur while with his husband in Ocean Beach. He says his experience with the court system left him frustrated, since his assaulter was able to drop the charge of hate crime and only had to serve community service.

“I was very active in participating in the case. I showed up to every court scheduled

hearing he had and it just kept getting kicked down the road. We dealt with three different judges and I felt like I did absolutely everything I could,” said Machado. “That case was so clear cut [a hate crime], that if something like that is not prosecuted...then what else could I have possibly done? What will it take for [the courts] to believe that the motivation behind a violent crime was homophobia, or racism, or whatever else?” he said.

Another caller, John, was also a victim of two separate hate crimes. His story is much like Bradley

Machado’s. In 2020 he was chased, hit, and called a homophobic slur while walking through the heart of Hillcrest. Unlike Machado, however, John’s case was never recorded or even brought to court, despite the fact that he called the police and reported the incident that night. It wasn’t until he was the target of another similar crime in 2021 did he realize that the police officer never filed a report about the original 2020 incident.

“I had the detective follow up on that and he said there is no record of that...the biggest travesty of that was that I felt very unheard from that officer that came to take my report, he was very dismissive and said nothing was going to happen,” John said.

When asked by a different caller how they can convince marginalized groups to report hate crimes despite being historically ignored, Mayor Todd Gloria admitted

that it was a ‘tough but fair’ question. While not having a specific answer, he said he hopes the creation of the Office of Race and Equity can be the first step towards real change. The forum was touted as being about ‘general’ hate crimes related to the AAPI/Black communities, but there wasn’t much discussion of that beyond mentioning the intersectionality between BIPOC and the LGBT community.

CALIFORNIA COURT:

Sports organizations must protect athletes

By Brian Melley Associated Press Sports governing organizations such as those for swimming and gymnastics have a duty to protect young athletes from sexual and other abuse and can be legally liable if they don’t, the California Supreme Court ruled last Thursday.

In a case involving girls aspiring to be Olympians who were molested by their martial arts coach for years, the court held that USA Taekwondo could be held liable. But the court cleared the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee

from liability because it did not have a relationship with the coach or athletes.

The decision clarifies legal standards in California cases after numerous sex abuse scandals have rocked the highest levels of amateur sport since the doctor for USA Gymnastics was accused — and later convicted — of molesting scores of girls.

Attorney Stephen Estey, who represents the former taekwondo competitors, was disappointed the Olympic committee would not face liability and said the ruling could insulate other large

BUSINESS DIRECTORY

umbrella organizations such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which filed a brief supporting the USOPC. But Estey said the ruling would better protect young athletes from sexual abuse — from youth sports to college and the 61 national governing bodies for aspiring Olympians — by holding organizations responsible.

“The thing that’s been frustrating over the years is that these entities make money off the backs of all these athletes,” Estey said. “They make millions of dollars on these athletes, but they do nothing to protect them.

They want all the benefit and none of the burden.”

The ruling came in a Los Angeles lawsuit by three women taekwondo athletes who had been abused as minors for years by a coach who later went to prison.

The three won a $60 million judgment against convicted coach Marc Gitelman in 2017 but the trial court threw out claims against USA Taekwondo, the governing body for the sport, and the USOPC. The women appealed those dismissals, alleging USOPC and USA Taekwondo failed to protect them. An appellate court ruled that USA Taekwondo could be held liable, but not the USOPC because it did not have a close enough relationship with the

coach or the athletes.

The unanimous Supreme Court ruling upheld the lower appellate decision, which revives the claims against USA Taekwondo.

The suit was brought by Yasmin Brown, Kendra Gatt and Brianna Bordon. The Associated Press typically doesn’t publish names of sex abuse victims, but all three agreed to let their names be used publicly.

The three competed at a high level of the sport and at tournaments sanctioned by USOPC and USA Taekwondo.

Brown and Bordon said they were assaulted by Gitelman in Olympic Training Center dorms.

The women no longer compete in the sport, Estey said.

Gitelman, a top-ranked Las Vegas instructor known as “Master G,” was sentenced to more than four years in prison for sexually abusing the girls.

He abused the girls from 2007 to 2014, often after giving them alcohol in hotel rooms while traveling to competitions, the lawsuit said.

Although they were awarded $60 million after Gitelman failed to properly respond to the lawsuit filed in 2015, they have not received a dime, Estey said. He expects Gitelman will never be able to pay the money.

ARTICLE CONTINUATION Benefits: continued from cover

The maximum duration of PEUC benefits, which are paid to people who exhausted state benefits before finding employment, has been increased from 24 to 53 weeks. PUA benefits, which goes to those who are ineligible for state aid such as independent contractors, have been extended from up to 57 weeks to up to 86 weeks.

The American Rescue Plan also extended the Mixed Income Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) program, which was signed into law in December 2020 for workers who were earning both traditional W-2 and self-employment income before they became unemployed.

Unemployment Insurance (UI) recipients who qualify for MEUC will receive an extra $100 weekly through Sept. 6. To qualify for MEUC, claimants have to receive at least $1 per week from UI and have reported at least $5,000 in self-employment income in 2019.

The relief legislation also waives federal taxes on an

individual’s first $10,200 of unemployment benefits collected in 2020, or on the first $20,400 for a married couple’s joint tax return.

The tax break applies to individuals and married couples who made less than $150,000 in adjusted gross income in 2020. It also applies to benefits from both UI and PUA. The tax break does not apply to benefits paid out after Dec. 31, 2020.

For unemployment recipients who have already filed their 2020 taxes and paid taxes on their first $10,200 of benefits, the IRS announced Mar. 31 that they will automatically refund the difference beginning in May. Claimants do not have to send in an amended return.

In California, after a year of claim payment delays and other challenges including rampant fraud, the eyes of many in the Golden State are closely watching the Employment Development Department (EDD).

Concerned unemployed Californians and their advocates say they want to see whether there would be delays in updating the EDD processes to comply with the new provisions in

the American Rescue Plan, including the unemployment program extensions.

The end of their benefit year is coming up for many UI recipients.

On March 26, EDD announced details about the upcoming extensions.

The department verified that PUA and PEUC benefits for Californians will be automatically extended without the need to file new claims. The department also said that regular UI claimants whose benefits ran out within their benefit year will need to file a new claim, and that they will inform the claimants of their need to reapply through their online platform, mail or text message.

People on the FED-ED program, a California safety net that provides up to 20 weeks of benefit payments during times of high unemployment, is available to those who have used all their PEUC benefits. FED-ED recipients will have their benefits automatically extended as well.

On March 26, EDD also released their extended online dashboard with data on unemployment claims, claim payments

and call center activity, along with other data. The release complied with a recommendation from the California State Auditor.

Two audits have confirmed EDD’s mismanagement of claims during the COVID19 pandemic. As of April 4, there were over 150,000 unprocessed claims waiting in the department’s queue for over 21 days. The audit established that the delays were caused by EDD and that they were not awaiting claimant action.

"We are committed to delivering unemployment benefits to eligible Californians as quickly as possible and transparently reporting this information to the public.

This dashboard generally shows information about the historic volume of unemployment claims and benefits paid since the start of the pandemic,” says EDD Director Rita Saenz.

The d ashb o ard a ls o includes data on the number of claims filed and benefits paid each month since January 2020, a breakdown of demographics statewide and by county, and the number of unique callers and calls answered each week since Aug. 29, 2020.

COVID-19 UPDATES The 4-1-1 on Vaccines

By A.L. Haynes SDV&V Staff Let’s talk about vaccines.

There’s tons of information out there, and most of it reads like a textbook. With CoVid-19 vaccine stories filling the news and new strains of the virus appearing globally, a simple explanation is overdue.

What Vaccines Are...

And Aren’t

The most important thing to realize is that a vaccine is NOT a cure. A vaccine is something that teaches your body to fight a disease. It does this by showing your immune system what a disease looks like. There are three different categories of vaccines: whole-microbe, subunit, genetic/nucleic acid.

The Different Types of Vaccine

Whole-microbe vaccines are

the oldest types of vaccine.

There are three ways to create a whole-microbe vaccine: from dead viruses or bacteria, weak disease cells, or typically harmless bacteria to carry broken pieces of a harmful disease into the body. Whole-microbe vaccines are still used for a number of diseases today, including influenza (“the flu”), chickenpox, and measles. The immune system reads these vaccines as full diseases, so it fights harder.

This means fewer booster shots are needed. People with weak immune systems must be careful with any vaccine made from weakened diseases.

Associated Press It depends on the child’s age, but some teenagers could be rolling up their sleeves this April. The Pfizer vaccine already is cleared for use starting at age 16. That means some high schoolers could get in line for those shots whenever they become eligible in their area, either because of a medical condition or once availability opens up.

and meningitis, are of this type. This method cannot cause infection, but it takes longer for the body to learn to fight the disease. Booster shots are usually required at intervals down the road.

Genetic/Nucleic Acid vaccines are the newest way of creating vaccines. They use pieces of a disease’s DNA (called mRNA) to tell your body’s cells what to fight.

The mRNA is put in a molecule your cells absorb or shot into cells directly using a gene gun. The CoVid-19 vaccines are the first of this type to be approved, so it is unclear how many booster shots may be needed.

Subunit vaccines inject specific parts of a germ directly into the body. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most childhood vaccines, such as tetanus, whooping cough,

Pfizer and Moderna both have completed enrollment for studies of children ages 12 and older, and expect to release the data over the summer. If regulators clear the results, younger teens likewise could start getting vaccinated once supply allows. The Moderna vaccine is currently cleared for people 18 and older. Researchers

started with older children because they tend to respond to vaccines most similarly to adults. Testing even younger groups is more complex, because they may require a

different dose or have differing responses.

The Educational Cultural Complex (ECC) opened as a vaccination site with hundreds of people showing up and waiting in lines to be vaccinated. The Total Deliverance Worship Center, located at 28th and L Street, opened a walk-up and drive thru testing site. It was launched with visits from Dr. Wilma Wooten, San Diego County Public Health Officer. She was joined at this press conference by Bishop William A. Benson, Pastor of Total Deliverance Worship Center; Rev. Gerald Agee, Statewide Director for COVID-19, Tabernacle Community Development Corporation; as well as Rev. Judi Wortham of the same Community Development Corporation. The effort was to establish 150 church testing sites in the state by June 30th. This is an effort of the African American Community Empowerment Council seeking to create 30 of those 150 sites.

In addition, on Saturday, the Church of Hope International (COHI) was the location for the administration of 1000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which requires only one dose. The NAACP and a number of volunteers were on hand for both walk-up and drive thru vaccinations. According to Dr. Suzanne Offlalo and Mrs. Francine Maxwell, President of the NAACP, the event was such a success that at least 200 people were forwarded to the Jackie Robinson YMCA site of this week’s vaccine distribution. A number of Afrcan Americans indicated that they had been waiting for the Johnson & Johnson single dose. As teachers, students and children are added, things are beginning to look up for California, if people would only wear the mask and social distance just a little longer.

OG Easter Egg Drive-Thru Photos by Darrel Wheeler

By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer

The OG’s held their annual Easter celebration for the 11-and-under kids in the community of Southeast San Diego. The Northside parking lot of Mountain View Park was decorated with some very colorful Easter décor.

Participants of the Easter egg drive-thru celebration were able to stay in their cars and grab a goodie-bag full of treats provided by the OG organization.

“I always look forward to putting smiles on kids’ faces,” said the Easter Bunny, aka Michael Watkins. “We want the kids of our community to see people doing something positive and being kind to them, and that’s it’s ok to give,” he said. ”Whatever the Easter Bunny said, that’s how I feel about today’s event,” shared Tina Meals.

The OG leaders had to make adjustments in order to stay safe and continue their annual Easter Egg Hunt turned drive –thru and they did.

“We had to do some compromising to put this together. I think it could have been a bigger turnout but we had to make some last minute changes,” OG President Aaron Gibson shared. “This was definitely a challenging experience, however, we made it work if the kids were happy, so are we,” he said.

Vaccine misinformation could be deadly.

Verify and trust.

The age, condition, and health of a significant portion of the population of the county places it at risk for serious health complications, including death, from COVID-19.

22. This Order is issued to protect the public health as businesses are allowed to reopen by requiring businesses to implement procedures necessary to ensure their employees and customers comply with social distancing, sanitation and screening practices.

20. This Order is issued to prevent circumstances often present in gatherings that may exacerbate the spread of COVID-19, such as: 1) the increased likelihood that gatherings will attract people from a broad geographic area; 2) the prolonged time period in which large numbers of people are in close proximity; 3) the difficulty in tracing exposure when large numbers of people attend a single event or are at a single location; and 4) the inability to ensure that such persons follow adequate hygienic practices.

The CoVid Vaccines

CoVid-19 vaccines using a traditional, whole-microbe approach are Jansen/Johnson & Johnson’s and AstraZeneca’s. Johnson & Johnson’s is approved and available for use in the USA. AstraZeneca has not finished filing their approval request with the FDA.

Vaccine Cautions

• Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are two doses, but they can NEVER be mixed. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, refer them to the the Centers for Disease Control And Prevention’s (CDC’s) Contraindications page

The upcoming Novavax vaccine is a subunit type vaccine.

As of March, it was in Phase 3 of the four testing phases, and might be approved in the U.S.A. in May. Both the Pfizer/BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are genetic/nucleic acid types.

None of the CoVid-19 vaccines currently are approved for anyone under the age of 16. Testing for young age groups is happening now, and some may be approved before the start of the 20212022 school year. Testing is also still ongoing for pregnant women, and it is up to the individual whether or not to get the vaccine.
