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 with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance those of whom they suppress. —Fredrick Douglass (1849)
ELECTION 2020: Foreign Policy and America’s Standing in the World Are on the Ballot in 2020 NNPA NEWSWIRE —The political new tracker, ForeignPolicy.com, noted that U.S. foreign policy under Trump has been a disaster. “The lack of any significant U.S. response to the revelation that Russia has offered money to the Taliban for killing U.S. troops shines yet another ugly spotlight on the foreign policy of U.S. President Donald Trump – or, more precisely, the utter lack of one,” The website reported. By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia
(Photo: iStockphoto / NNPA) Presidential elections impact Americans’ lives in a wide array of ways. It’s widely maintained that the outcome of the 2020 contest between the incumbent, Donald Trump, and the Democratic Nominee, Joe Biden, will have long-term consequences for many in general and African Americans specifically. The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), the trade association of the more than 200 Black-owned newspapers and media companies in the United States, will examine potential election outcomes and consequences in six key areas: Education, Health Care, the Economy, Foreign Affairs, Employment, and Criminal Justice. Former President Barack Obama has remained mostly silent during his successor’s four years in office. However, as Election Day draws ever closer, Obama has surfaced at several highprofile rallies for Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden, including in Florida on Tuesday, October 27, 2020, where his speech touched on foreign policy. Obama cautioned that Trump has cowered to dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Chia’s Xi Jinping while carrying the water of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “You think he’s going to stand up to dictators? He thinks Lesley Stahl is a bully,” Obama proclaimed, referencing Trump’s decision to walk away from a “60 Minutes” interview because he thought the interviewer’s questions were too harsh. “Trump said that Putin of Russia, Xi of China, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea want
him to win. “We know,” Obama deadpanned. “That’s not a good thing. You shouldn’t brag about the fact that some of our greatest adversaries think they’d be better off with you in office.” The political new tracker, ForeignPolicy.com, noted that U.S. foreign policy under Trump has been a disaster. “The lack of any significant U.S. response to the revelation that Russia has offered money to the Taliban for killing U.S. troops shines yet another ugly spotlight on the foreign policy of U.S. President Donald Trump – or, more precisely, the utter lack of one,” The website reported. “Trump’s latest failure should remind American voters that his administration has failed on the most important global threats – not least the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. All these and other foreign-policy failures should be just as much at the center of the debate as to the crush of domestic policy concerns.” In a speech earlier this year at The Graduate Center at CUNY in New York, Biden laid out what he called his blueprint to repair the damage wrought by Trump and chart a fundamentally different American foreign policy course. “As president, I will advance the security, prosperity, and values of the United States by taking immediate steps to renew our own democracy and alliances, protect our economic future, and once more place America at the head of the table, leading the world to address the most urgent global challenges,” Biden declared.
“In a Biden administration, America will lead by example and rally the world to meet our common challenges that no one nation can face on its own, from climate change to nuclear proliferation, from great power aggression to transnational terrorism, from cyberwarfare to mass migration. “Donald Trump’s erratic policies and failure to uphold basic democratic principles have surrendered our position in the world, undermined our democratic alliances, weakened our ability to mobilize others to meet these challenges, and threatened our security and our future.” David Unger of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies wrote a white paper on “The Foreign Policy Legacy of Barack Obama.” Unger concluded that Obama earned many wins and some losses, and his second term ended with a “mixed but positive foreign policy legacy.” “America’s global standing is much improved from the waning days of the George W. Bush administration,” Unger wrote. “Obama’s most notable a ch ieve me nt s we re t he international agreement slowing Iran’s progress toward nuclear weapons capability and diplomatic normalization with Cuba.” “The Trump administration has launched an unprecedented barrage of sanctions against Cuba that has devastated the country’s precarious economy and shattered the détente brokered by former President Barack Obama,” noted screenwriters of the new documentary, “Belly of
the Beast: The War on Cuba.” “U.S. policy towards Cuba does not just impact people in Cuba – it could play a crucial role in deciding the next U.S. president. Trump has explained that he believes that his ‘tough’ policy against Cuba will help him win support among Latinos that will deliver him an electoral college victory in Florida, the country’s largest swing state,” the screenwriters observed. “The Trump administration’s Cold War-era rhetoric has revitalized the Cuban-American old guard and spurred on a new generation of hardliners in South Florida. Major media outlets have failed to report on his onslaught against the island, not to mention the money and interests driving it.” Before the New York Times revealed Trump’s secret bank account in China where he reportedly paid more than $186,000 in personal income tax over three years – compared to the $1,500 he paid in U.S. personal income taxes over 15 years – Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) lashed out at the president for accepting gifts from foreign adversaries. “Article One of the Constitution contains the Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits the president from receiving any gift of value without the consent of Congress,” Waters stated. “This president has never divested from any of his holdings and refused to place his assets in a blind trust. Funds from foreign governments continue to flow into this president’s personal accounts, in blatant violation of Article One.”
Black Employees Say Racism is Rife at Cal Air Resources Board Antonio Ray Harvey | California Black Media Mary Nichols, an influential California attorney known and respected in environmental policy circles across the United States, is finding herself at the center of racial storm brewing at home. Black employees say racism is widespread at the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the organization Nichols chairs. In September, African American employees hit CARB with a 13-page letter alleging that they have been experiencing racism – widespread, routine and systemic, they point out – at the air-pollution and climate agency. The “Concer ned Black Employees at CARB (CBE CARB),” the Black group that submitted the letter, says its members have been the target of cynical comments at the organization and that they have been excluded from promotions, and have had to face other atrocities because of the color of their skin. The letter details discriminatory hiring practices, incidents of intimidation, low representation of Black employees, and a general lack of support. CARB, the letter alleges, has a total of 1627 employees and only 73 of them are Black. Only one African American has held an executive position with the organization. “You will find a compilation of Black stories about our experiences at CARB along with messages we received from those experiences,” CBE CARB stated in the introduction of the document. Although these stories are first person accounts of experiences, we believe that most of them apply (or have applied) to all Black employees at some point and time at CARB.” The state of California charges CARB with protecting the public from the harmful effects of air pollution and developing programs and actions to fight climate change. Founded in 1967, the Sacramento-based organization also sets air quality standards, oversee automakers’ emissions compliance, conducts research on air pollution, measures reductions of air pollutants and promotes public health, among other functions. In July, Assemblymember Jim Cooper (D-Sacramento), who is African American, called out Nichols online after she posted a message that drew parallels between the lack of clean air the death of George Floyd. “How dare you use a dying man’s plea for help as a way to discuss your agenda. Have you no shame?” Cooper reacted to Nichols’ tweet. Floyd died when a Minneapolis police officer pinned his knee on the unarmed Black man’s neck for nearly nine minutes in late May. The shocking incident caught on video a bystander
caught was shared millions of time, sparking anti-Black racism protests across the globe. On June 1, Nichols posted, “‘I can’t breathe’ speaks to police violence, but it also applies to the struggle for clean air. Environmental racism is just one form of racism. It’s all toxic. Government needs to clean it up in word and deed.” Nichols later issued an apology via Twitter, stating “I apologize for speaking at the wrong time about the wrong topic. Racism comes in many forms and I believe we must fight every instance of it in our society.” Nichols has served on the CARB Board under Gov. Jerry Brown (1975–82 and 2010–18), Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (2007–2010), and Gov. Gavin Newsom (2019 – present). She also served as California’s Secretary for Natural Resources (1999–2003), appointed by Gov. Gray Davis. Her term under Newsom ends Dec. 31. There is speculation in Sacramento political circles that Nichols, 75, could be in line for a job as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency should Joe Biden win the presidency. Published reports say CARB’s Executive Director Richard Corey forwarded CBE CARB’s letter to the air CARB’s staff about a week after he obtained it. The 13page document is dated Sept. 4. CARB’s board, which the governor appoints and the Senate confirms, consists of 14 voting members with two lawmakers in non-voting roles. The board does not have any Asian American or African American members. “There is no doubt the letter eloquently describes a history of poor treatment, lost potential, and deep-seated pain,” Corey wrote in a memo to his staff, according to Politico. “But, when I consider the courage it took to write and submit the letter, I have a sense of optimism as I know that change begins with the ability to openly acknowledge and discuss issues.” CBE CARB also stated that its only intent is to “shine a light on areas where CARB can improve” and asked the air pollution and climate agency to move forward and be “part of the solution.” “Our intent in sharing this Letter and Action Plan is not to shame or belittle CARB, or to assign blame. We enjoy the work we do at CARB and want to do all we can to improve CARB for the future, and our future careers with the agency,” CBE CARB stated in conclusion of the letter.

Assemblymember Reyes Continues to Advocate for Seniors during the COVID-19 Pandemic Community News
San Bernardino - The senior population is growing in San Bernardino County and now, more than ever, identifying and solving issues they face is important to ensuring a respectable quality of life for them. Due to seniors being most vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic, Assemblymember Eloise Reyes coordinated an effort to provide seniors with resources they need. Committed to this task, Assemblymember Reyes held her 4th Annual Senior Advocacy Week from October 5th to the 9th; visiting 12 senior facilities. Partnering on the Senior Advocacy Week was UNITEEE, The Holy Land Church, California State Council on Developmental Disabilities, Autism Society, and IEHP. Through this collaboration over 1200 seniors were provided with Person Protective Equipment (PPE) including face-masks, N95 masks, hand sanitizer, face shields, and brochures with local and state resources for seniors. A senior from one of our visits stated, “the items were very nice and came in so handy especially the hand sanitizers and the box of 50 individual masks.” The mission of Senior Advocacy Week is to listen to the issues that are impacting seniors. For too long seniors have been without a voice in Sacramento and the Inland Empire. With over 200,000 seniors in San Bernardino County, they cannot be ignored any longer. Since being elected in 2016, Assemblymember Reyes has given seniors a voice to share policies that impact their quality of life, including income, lack of public transportation, unnecessary fees, lack of community spaces, and affordable housing. Senior Advocacy Week concluded with the Seniors Scam Stopper Town Hall with the California Department of Insurance (CDI) and the Department of Aging and Adult Services, where seniors were informed on how to protect themselves and their loved ones from scams. During the Seniors
Scam Stopper Townhall, Peter Meza, a CDI expert stated that, “about 70 percent of the wealth in the U.S. is within the senior citizen community which makes them a big target for scams involving unsuitable life insurance policies and annuities.” He further stated that, “there was an 85-year-old senior who was put into a life insurance plan that was not going to pay out for 20 years, so they would not begin to collect till they are 105 years old.” Stacey Hernández from the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services stressed the importance of not responding to unrecognized phone calls, text messages, and emails. She additionally advised that, “if you happen to be speaking with someone who seems legitimate and they insist on payment for the service they offer to be in the form of gift cards, money transfer, or cryptocurrency, then it is most likely a scam.” “I believe senior advocacy week has become something that our seniors look forward to each year. Our office knows that San Bernardino communities have different issues that have to be addressed, which why it is so important that we continue to talk to our seniors and ask them what they need. With that information we can continue to offer the services our seniors need and remain responsive to the other issues they may face,” said Assemblymember Reyes. Senior Advocacy Week allows Assemblymember Reyes to gain insight into the issues that are impacting seniors in the Inland Empire and to find public policy solutions to address them. Call our office at (909) 381-3238 for further details. Assemblymember Eloise Gómez Reyes represents Assembly District 47 which includes the cities of Fontana, Rialto, Colton, Grand Terrace, San Bernardino, and the unincorporated areas of Muscoy and Bloomington.
Superintendent Tony Thurmond Announces $420,000 in Grants to the Bridging the Digital Divide Fund to Benefit Students in Southern California...continued of the Future Foundation will address digital divide among tribal K-12 youth in San Diego County. SoCalGas’ portion of $320,000 will be split into five grants to separate organizations in Southern California for specific work to close the digital divide. SoCalGas and SDG&E are part of the Sempra Energy family of companies. The contribution to the Bridging the Digital Divide Fund, established at the Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation (CDE Foundation), suppor ts the Califor n ia Department of Education’s (CDE) Closing the Digital Divide Task Force. The COVID-19 pandemic forced an estimated 97 percent of California’s 6.2 million students to begin their school year in distance learning. The task force has been working since April on behalf of California’s most vulnerable students and families who continue to experience barriers to internet access and distance learning. “This is a difficult time for all of us, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated access issues to technology, placing additional strain and stress on some of our most underserved populations who still lack the basic tools to connect to their learning,” said Thurmond. “Through my Closing the Digital Divide Task Force, formed to secure devices and reduced-cost internet service, I have asked 100 of California’s top companies to step up and help close this gap. I commend SDG&E and SoCalGas for answering that call and for their investment toward lifting up every child, an example I hope others will follow.” “Both of our companies have a long history of supporting school and community programs that help underserved children overcome barriers to success. Now more than ever, our schools, teachers, and students need us to step up to help fill the gaps so no child is left behind, especially during this challenging time,” said Eugene “Mitch” Mitchell, vice president of state governmental affairs and external affairs for SDG&E and SoCalGas. The $100,000 Classroom of the Future grant was made through The San Diego Foundation’s COVID-19 Community Response Fund, which SDG&E seeded. SDG&E has contributed $2.5 million to the fund and has plans to donate another $500,000 in early 2021. The grant will address the digital divide among tribal K-12 youth in San Diego County by providing laptops and mobile hotspots. According to Classroom of the Future Foundation and the San Diego County Office of Education, there are more than
350 tribal students across several San Diego County school districts who are unable to fully participate in distance learning because they lack computers and/or internet connectivity. SoCalGas’ $320,000 in total grants will benefit five local organizations to help meet specific needs: Southeast Community Development Corporation will provide students from South Los Angeles with a Chromebook, earbuds, hotspots and tutoring. STEAM Coders will provide STEAM programming to more than 1,100 K-12 students enrolled in four schools located in Los Angeles, Inglewood, and Claremont and will provide 140 high-grade laptops with 120 hotspots. Southern California Indian Center will supply 100 laptops and hotspots to lowincome Native American children throughout Los Angeles County and Orange County. YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles will purchase equipment to extend their Wi-Fi access to the outside of each of their 26 branches. Community Coalition (South Los Angeles) will sponsor laptops, hotspots and Microsoft Office for students in Los Angeles Unified School District. Since April, the State Superintendent and his task force—in collaboration with the Governor’s Office, state lawmakers, and nonprofits such as the Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation—have been working to remove inequitable barriers to student access by working with internet service providers, tech companies, device manufacturers, and other groups to increase access to devices and internet connections. The CDE and task force have since partnered with a few major technology companies and internet service providers to put together programs to make it easier for schools to acquire necessary equipment and services for their students. LEAs are encouraged to start the process now as devices are in high demand across the country, and can view more information on that at the CDE Securing Devices and Connectivity for Students webpage. At the same time, the Governor’s Office and lawmakers included $5.3 billion in one-time funding in the state budget for schools to strengthen distance learning heading into the same year. These funds can be used immediately for purchasing needed technology, and more information can be found on the CDE’s Learning Loss Mitigation Funding webpage.

Erika D. Beck Appointed President of California State University, Northridge...continued University, Northridge (CSUN). Beck currently serves as president of California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI). “From the robust academic programs to inspirational athletic competition to the expansive opportunities for arts and culture, I am inspired by the impact that CSUN has in shaping the face of the San Fernando Valley and beyond,” said Beck. “While it is bittersweet to leave CSU Channel Islands where working together with faculty, staff, students and community we have made significant progress, I am thankful for this opportunity to join the talented CSUN faculty, staff and students to ensure that all Matadors rise.” While president of CSUCI, Beck championed the campus’ vision to become a national leader in providing equitable, affordable and transformative education. CSUCI placed at the top of many recent national rankings including those issued by U.S. News & World Report, Money and Washington Monthly. The campus’ four-year graduation rate for first-year students has also reached an all-time high and last year was recognized as one of nine institutions in the nation with the prestigious Seal of Excelencia for its accomplishments in facilitating LatinX student success. Beck was appointed to the CSUCI presidency in 2016. “In a short period of time, Dr. Beck has quickly steered CSUCI to unprecedented heights,” said
CSU Trustee Debra Farar, chair of the CSUN search committee. “Her extensive knowledge of the CSU and California ensures that she will build on the successful work of outgoing CSU N President Dianne Harrison.” Prior to her time at CSUCI, Beck served as the provost and executive vice president of Nevada State College (NSC) in Henderson, Nevada. Before her tenure as provost and executive vice president, she served as the dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, a faculty member in the psychology department, and chair of the Faculty Senate. Prior to her service at NSC, she served as a faculty fellow at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and a research associate at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Beck earned a bachelor’s in psychology and a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the University of California, San Diego. She is also “made in the CSU,” having earned her master’s in psychology from San Diego State University. Beck will assume her new role at CSUN on January 11, 2021. Following consultation with stakeholders at CSUCI and with board chair Lillian Kimbell, CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White will soon announce an interim appointment who will serve as campus president beginning early next year. The Board of Trustees anticipates launching a national search in the new year for Beck's successor at CSUCI.

Ford Law Career Academy Aims to Increase Diversity in the Legal Profession Business News
Alison Nelson, Ford counsel and program champion All-new educational concept aims to increase diversity in the law profession by making the pursuit of a legal education more appealing and welcoming to students of color Innovative elective high school curriculum was created by Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford Learning Institute and Ford Motor Company Fund Ford Law Career Academy pilot programs rolling out at two Detroit-area public charter schools – one later this year and another in fall 2021, with plans to scale to schools across the nation DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 14, 2020 – With the singular mission of bringing diversity to the practice of law, Ford Motor Company – with the support of
its philanthropic arm, Ford Motor Company Fund, and Henry Ford Learning Institute – has developed the Ford Law Career Academy. The four-year program is launching in two metro Detroit high schools with an innovative curriculum designed to excite, inspire and empower students of color to explore a law career. It fills a void for a legal-themed career academy that introduces high school students to law as a profession. “I’ve felt a responsibility to work toward diversity, inclusion and racial equality from the time I was just 8 years old, and that is the whole reason I went on to study law,” said Alison Nelson, Ford counsel and program champion. “I know what it means to have
strong mentors in my life, and I want that same experience for today’s students of color. As the proud product of Detroit public schools, the first kid in my family to graduate college and the first to become a lawyer, I want this generation of children of color to be the last of the firsts.” Ford Law Career Academy, created in cooperation with educators and Ford’s legal office, introduces students to a range of practice areas. It gives them the tools to take the first steps in developing the skills, mindset, knowledge and networking all lawyers need for success, while aiming to augment diverse representation within the field. Ford’s outside counsel will provide support through coaching, mentoring and internships. Ford is collaborating with two charter schools serving Detroitarea youth – Henry Ford Academy and University Preparatory Academy High School – to pilot the program. Students begin elective coursework as freshmen and progress through four years of learning that includes law theory, mock trials and field training with law firm partners. It culminates
with a senior thesis-type project, with graduates prepared to go on to a university to pursue a formal prelaw curriculum and then law school. Henry Ford Academy is launching a slightly modified program this academic year, while University Preparatory Academy High School will launch fall 2021. Right now, African Americans make up 13.4 percent of the U.S. population, but only 5 percent of lawyers are African American – the same as 10 years ago. With educational achievement directly correlated to economic empowerment, rounding the curve to improve economic status amongst African American communities has only gotten harder. “Our team wants to change that,” said Nelson. “As this country works through a long overdue reckoning on race, we believe now is the time to act, as the law is where so much of real change happens. Ford is aiming to make the law accessible, representative and welcoming to kids of color who may never have thought entering this field and working to be a changemaker continued in next 2 columns

Ford Law Career Academy Aims to Increase Diversity in the Legal Profession...continued was really an opt ion.” By creating greater access to law-related educational opportunities, Ford Law Career Academy is engaging in the ongoing fight for racial and social justice. Putting students of color on a path to economic empowerment will lower barriers to entry across the professional spectrum and lead to a more just society for all. Encouraging these students to become interested in and passionate about the law will fundamentally change the practice at all levels. More diverse racial, ethnic and cultural perspectives will ensure all voices are heard and that the Black experience in America
will matter in the eyes of the law. This pilot program is not the end goal. Ford is already working to identify additional high schools across the country to scale and replicate the program, with the goal of having a national presence as quickly as possible. “I want students of color to pursue the law profession,” said Nelson. “I want to see more of us influencing the law and improving communities through representation and inclusion. I want to help make that change. We should all want to.” For more i nfor mat ion regarding Ford, its products and Ford Motor Credit Company, please visit corporate.ford.com.
A Blueprint California’s Black Students Need: Educators Conference to Focus on Equity...continued from page 2 climb. The organization is holding its annual conference at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a blow to public school education in California and across the country. Public education policy experts warn that distance learning will likely increase the disturbing achievement gap that already exists between Black students and that of their peers of other ethnic groups. In California, nearly 68 percent of all African American perform below their grade level in English and language arts.

“Warning After Warning and You Still Insist on Doing it Your Way -Okay – Have It Your Way – But Remember...” By: Lou Yeboah
Lou Yeboah Every action has a reaction, and I tell you, “I Did It My Way” has severe consequences. You better know that you know! “All day long, I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” [Romans. 10: 21]. They “walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices.” [Isaiah 65: 2]. But I tell you, they will soon find out the danger in, “doing it their way.” In Genesis 27, four people sang that same old song, “I did it my way.” In the end they all came up empty and paid a high price for their selfishness. Listen, there is a real danger in the “I did it my way” philosophy. The lie of autonomy seduces us into thinking that we're independent creatures with the right to do whatever we want with the life that belongs to us. But listen to the song of Genesis 1:1 - "In the beginning, God..." That song is played to a radically different melody. If God was first, our lives have never belonged to us. You and I don't have the right to think, desire, act and speak as if it does. If God was, then
everything he declares is. That means the universe and everything in it must be seen and understood in a certain way – God's way. You know, the last thing Joshua did in the [Book of Judges] was tell the people, “You choose how you are going to live your life” and they did. They did it “their way” and what a mess they made of it. Over a 350 year period, they went through seven cycles. A cycle would start with the Israelite doing it their way. As a result, Israel would find herself in slavery. God would then send a leader-a judge-who would bring them out of captivity. Israel would follow for a while. But then another cycle would begin with “doing it their way.” Each cycle was worse than the one before. God would step in yet again, and for a while peace came over the land. But, overall, the spiraling down of the society continued. I tell you, the danger of “doing it your way” always lead to severe consequences. For Saul, disobedience in not following God’s instructions had severe consequences. In [1 Samuel 31] Saul was the Lord’s chosen king for the Israelite's. But rather than trusting that God knew best, Saul’s ego took first place in his heart. When it did, disobedience—doing things his way—became his undoing. Saul lost everything by losing sight of the only thing that mattered: his relationship with the one, true God. Don’t you do! For [Proverbs

Human Rights on the Ballot
Noel Andersen UCC & CWS Grassroots Coordinator for Immigrants' Rights With every day approaching November 3rd, it has felt increasingly true: this is a critical election and there will be tremendous implications from the results. Human rights issues including racial justice, LGBTQ rights, health care access, climate justice, Covid-19, and immigrants rights, are on our ballots this election. My work focuses on immigration and refugee issues. This administration has created an abundance of anti-immigrant policies, starting with terminating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) and ending Temporary Protective Status (TPS). DACA and TPS benefit over one million immigrants who have been in this country for decades and who are now in danger of being detained, deported and separated from their families if these programs are not saved. The Muslim ban has limited immigration from Muslimmajority countries and stoked increased discrimination against our Muslim siblings of faith. As Covid-19 ravages on, Black, indigenous, immigrant communities and people of color are disproportionately affected. Mass detention and mass incarceration continue to increase without accountability. There are bulldozers running through environmentally protected areas and Tohono O'odham sacred land to build a wall on the border. This administration has disregarded our own U.S. laws and congressional intent by shutting down the asylum program and slashing the refugee resettlement program by 80% with multiple attempts to ban refugees
and asylum seekers. The horrific family separation policy has left children waiting in dangerous peril in makeshift camps or shelters on the southern border. The ongoing attacks on hu m a n it a r i a n p r og r a m s illuminates the precarious nature of our own democracy, a vision that has never been fully realized for a nation that grapples with its original sins of slavery, genocide, and patriarchy. The same divisions that caused civil war continue to haunt our progress forward. The infrastructure around antiimmigrant nativism and the racial caste system were built into the architecture of this country. And now that this system of injustice has been exposed in new ways, there are new opportunities to raise consciousness and awareness. As new generations rise up to demand Black Lives Matter, Love is Love, and Sanctuary for All, we can still build towards a world where all people are recognized as God’s children and treated with dignity and equity. There is still hope. We cannot hold back; we must press forward in a bold and prophetic way. We must follow the voices of impacted leaders and remember the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s warning that “History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.” This quote is as relevant today as it was in 1959. As part of our faith, let us together raise our voices through continued in next 2 columns
14:12] tells us that, “There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way of death.” I tell you, “there are some dire consequences when you don’t do things God’s way. You lose out on the blessings that God has for you when you don’t do things God’s way. You lose out on the victory that God has for you when you don’t do things God’s way. Doors of opportunity will be shut in your face when you don’t do things God’s way. Sleep will leave your eyes and you won’t be able to get any rest when you don’t do things God’s way. You will find yourself disappointed, depressed, and sad when you don’t do things God’s way. You will find yourself in bondage and confused when you don’t do things God’s way. You will find yourself broke, disgusted and frustrated when you don’t do things God’s way. You will find yourself in a whole lot of trouble, you will find yourself in a whole lot of mess, and in a whole lot of unnecessary drama when you don’t do things God’s way. You will become weak, and despondent when you don’t do things God’s way. There will be no peace for you and no comfort for you when you don’t do things God’s way. There will be no joy for you and no happiness for you when you don’t do things God’s way. Not only will you mess yourself up when you don’t do things God’s way, but you will even cause your family, not to be
blessed when you don’t do things God’s way. Salvation and eternal life will be out of your reach when you don’t’ do things God’s way because salvation and eternal life is found in Jesus Christ.” “If you want to be blessed, you have to do things God’s way. If you want the victory, you have to do things God’s way. If you want to be successful and prosperous, you have to do things God’s way. If you want to be the head and not the tail, you got to do things God’s way. If you want to be blessed in the city and blessed in the field, you have to do things God’s way. If you want to be blessed going in and going out, you have to do things God’s way. If you want to be more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus, you have to do things God’s way. If you want deliverance, you must do things God’s way. If you want to be healed, you have to do things God’s way. If you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit, you have to do things God’s way. If you want your home and marriage to be blessed, you have to do things God’s way. If you want to be blessed on your job, at school, in your neighborhood, you have to do things God’s way. You ought to be committed in doing things God’s way.” [Proverbs 3:5-6,]. I tell you, wisdom is the principal thing, but in all your getting get an understanding.” [Proverbs 4:7]. “ Ref u se go o d a dv ice a nd wat ch you r pla n s fail...” [Proverbs 15:22-32].

St. Mary Medical Center awarded for excellence in specialties Healthgrades honors hospital among nation’s best for stroke care Health News APPLE VALLEY (Oct. 29, 2020) – St. Mary Medical Center was recognized recently by Healthgrades, a leading consumer health information site that named the Apple Valley hospital among the top hospitals in the nation for a variety of specialties. St. Mary received a total of 16 awards and recognitions, including its listing among America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Stroke Care. Healthgrades is a leading consumer resource for healt h i n for mat ion. The hospital also earned excellence awards for stroke care for the second straight year and pulmonary care for the third year in a row. Other honors include repeat five-star awards for exemplary care in neurosciences, treatment of pneumonia, gastrointestinal conditions and three areas of critical care: treatment of sepsis and diabetes emergencies, and for the first time, five stars for treatment of pulmonary embolism. “Our physicians and clinical teams continue to build upon our tradition of excellence and compassion,” said Randall Castillo, St. Mar y chief executive. “We are living through
extraordinary times, and day after day I’m overwhelmed with pride at our staff’s commitment to provide the best possible care for each and every patient.” Healthgrades’ analysis shows that patients treated at hospitals receiving 5-stars rating have a lower risk of dying and a lower risk of experiencing one or more complications during a hospital stay than if they were treated at hospitals receiving 1-star ratings in that procedure or condition. From 2017 through 2019, if all hospitals as a group performed similarly to hospitals receiving 5-stars as a group, on average, 218,785 lives could potentially have been saved and complications in 148,681 patients could potentially have been avoided. St. Mary, along with its 10 sister hospitals across Providence Southern California and the sevenstate Providence system, share expertise, innovation and research to consistently raise the level of excellence through the 51 hospitals. Each year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 32 of the most common inpatient continued in next 2 columns

M.D., chief medical officer, Healthgrades. “Consumers can feel confident knowing that hospitals that are recognized for their performance in specialty care provide high quality care and superior outcomes.”
Michael Beach: Playing the Characters You Love to Hate by Barry Anderson
(Photo credit: Instagram) The versatile, classicallytrained actor and performer Michael Beach has accumulated a great body of work from awardwinning movies to criticallyacclaimed TV shows, but for some reason, the super-talented actor has a knack for playing characters people love to hate. Beach first came to prominence as the charismatically unfaithful husband in Terry McMillan’s adapted novel, Waiting to Exhale (1995), and on the hit medical drama, ER (NBC, 1994-2009), playing a man who infects his exwife (Gloria Reuben) with HIV. Later in his career, he played the cheating husband in the beloved feature film, Soul Food (1997). He continues to act in both movies and TV like on the long-running NBC drama Third Watch and the award-winning movie, If Beale Street Could Talk. One of his latest project, Truth Be Told, is part of Apple TV+’s new string of original programming, with executive producer and star Octavia Spencer portraying Poppy Parnell, a true-crime investigative reporter and podcaster drawn to reexamine a case she played a pivotal role in years ago. This comes after a successful run on the hit TV series, The 100, where Michael, once again, played a bad guy, Pike. “That was one of the more enjoyable characters I’ve played,” explains Beach to BCR.com. “Because even though 99% of the fanbase see him as a bad guy — not just a bad guy, I think he’s the most hated character of that show, which is fine, I don’t mind — I have a lot of empathy for Pike and what he’s been through. I’ve been hated on social media but I don’t put much stock in it; I don’t argue with people on social media and it’s not my job, it’s not up to me to determine how people feel about a character that I play.” “I’m a pretty intense worker, but I love to have fun. Like I can’t just be intense like that all the time on the set. So I really do love joking around and having a decent time in between scenes.” “Obviously, if there are actors that don’t do that in-between takes, I don’t force my feelings on them. I let them be wherever they need to be, and I stay away from them needing to go through whatever process they go to.” On changing his body One noticeable change about Michael is his chiseled body. Now,
at age 57, he’s a self-proclaimed “gym-rat” and in the best shape of his life. His body even graced the pages of Men’s Fitness magazine. “Two years ago at age 55, I was surprised to learn that @ muscleandfitness was gonna put me on one of their pages. I started reading bodybuilding magazines in the 70s and even though my interest has ebbed and flowed over the decades I was psyched to be in a fitness magazine. I’m not specially trained or certified as a trainer and my knowledge is very limited about training and nutrition but I keep at it! I make strides forward and I make mistakes but I keep going.” “Here in 2020 I just started my #newyears2021 resolution to be the fittest I’ve ever been by far! I know it’ll take serious dedication, consistency and a quality diet but I’m calling myself out here on IG to give myself that added incentive to be accountable for doing what needs to be done in order to get what I want!” Another notewor t hy performance for Beach was his character in the film, If Beale Street Could Talk. A role that concerned him because of one particular scene. “Not just in today’s world and all that’s going on with the empowerment of women and the different kinds of abuse that have been going on in this business, for me to strike another woman on camera, and particularly for some of my past work in Waiting to Exhale, Soul Food, and even in E.R, I was concerned about how that would play. Oddly enough, I haven’t heard anything concerning that for those particular reasons. I think people are really connecting to the horror of the scene. It’s a movie about love, trying to understand what’s going on, people have an understanding of what Frank is going through and where he comes from. What was said was so mean and disgusting. I felt that in the room. Aunjanue Ellis was just fantastic in that scene.” “I just want to do a variety of things and sometimes it’s hard as a journeyman actor as I am. A lot of times you play very similar roles because that’s what they want to see you do.” “I’ve played a lot of good guys and bad guys. I’m always hoping I can do something beyond what I’ve done before.”

The Fight Isn’t Over – Congress Can Still Rescue The Census California’s Corporate Pipeline Needs A Refresh
by Sunita Sohrabji
“Without action from Congress, the Census Bureau is guaranteed to miss millions of people across every state,” says Vanita Gupta (above), President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights While all eyes are focused on the 2020 elections, the clock is still ticking on the 2020 Census. If Congress doesn’t act to extend the Dec. 31 deadline for the Census Bureau to submit its final data, leading civil rights advocates — who have been at the forefront of promoting a complete count — warn that the consequences will be felt for a decade. The Census Bureau itself has said it will not be able to deliver an accurate count by Dec. 31. It is charged with tabulating data from 150 million households within a shortened time span and fewer human resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The bottom line is that without action from Congress, the Census Bureau is guaranteed to miss millions of people across every state including people on rural and tribal lands,” said Vanita Gupta, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “Skewed data is going to hurt our communities for a decade in a lot of ways,” she said. Census data is used to apportion approximately $1.5 trillion in federal funding each year until the next Census in 2030. It is also used to apportion Congressional seats. Ending
tabulation on Dec. 31 means that the Trump administration will get to re-appor tion Congressional seats, no matter who wins the Presidential election. Gupta made her remarks at a press briefing following the Supreme Court’s decision that abruptly ended data collection on Oct. 15 and mandated that census data be tabulated by Dec. 31. The briefing was cosponsored by LCCR and EMS. Reps. Don Young (R-AK) and Congressman Ruben Gallego (DAZ) introduced HR 8250 in the House Sept. 14, seeking to extend the deadline for data collection to Oct. 31. That deadline passed without any action on the bill. The bill would also shift the deadline for tabulation to July 1, 2021. The bill now resides with the House Oversight and Reform committee. A similar bill was introduced Sept. 15 in the Senate by Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska). The Trump Administration, which earlier lost its battle to include a citizenship question on the nine-question poll, is now pushing to exclude undocumented people from the final population count used to reapportion
districts. The Supreme Court is set to hear the case Nov. 30. Marc Morial, CEO of the National Urban League, said: “The Supreme Court has aided, abetted, facilitated, and become willing co-conspirators in the administration’s effort to politically interfere with the Census and to cheat the American people out of their constitutional right to a representative government, and necessary federal funds.” “The Trump administration has made countless efforts to sabotage the census to erase historically undercounted communities, especially those which have b e e n d is prop or t ion at ely impacted by Covid-19,” said John Yang, executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice. “Make no mistake: the Trump administration h a s b e e n d el i b e r a t el y undermining the census for purely partisan political gain.” Referring to the Nov. 30 Supreme Court case, Yang said: “I’ve said it before and I will say it again today: the mandate of the United States Constitution says that all persons must be counted in the decennial. The same is true for the apportionment cou nt: t he Const it ut ion
expressly States all persons. It does not state just citizens.” Arturo Vargas, CEO of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials — NALEO — said Latinx people have never accurately counted in previous censuses. He challenged the Census Bureau’s assertion that 99 percent of people have been counted. “The Census Bureau may have touched 99 percent of the households on its address list, but we have no idea if everybody living in those households were counted.” He called for Congress to step in and allot more time to ensure an accurate count. “The work isn’t over. We will continue working with our partners to ensure that we do all we can to salvage this foundation of our democracy.” Morial said Blacks, especially in the South, have failed to reach the self-response rate of 68 percent. He predicted a historic undercount of the community. “The hard-working professional staff at the Census Bureau should not be continuously undermined by politics. Congress must provide the Census Bureau with the time it needs for an accurate count,” he said. Kevin Allis, CEO of the National Congress of American Indians also predicted a severe undercount of tribal communities, with self-response rates 25 percent lower than the national average. He added that federal resources critical to ensuring the economic well-being of native Americans would be incorrectly apportioned based on an inaccurate census count. Indian Country has seen infection rates almost four times the national average and hospitalization rates almost six times the national average. Decades of underfunding has meant that thousands of people living on tribal lands have not received the health care they need, said Allis.
Judge: People in Prison Can Receive $1,200 Stimulus Payments Quinci LeGardye | California Black Media The first round of economic impact payments funded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, has been opened to a new group of Americans. Incarcerated individuals can now apply to receive their stimulus payments of up to $1200. According to a June report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the IRS initially sent nearly 85,000 payments, totaling about $100 million, to incarcerated individuals. After the report raised concerns about the payments, the IRS decided that payments to incarcerated people were not allowed under the CARES Act and ordered that the payments sent should be returned. Then a class-action lawsuit was filed. Lawyers argued that denying the payments solely based on an individual’s incarcerated status was against the law. The language of the CARES Act does not explicitly say that incarcerated individuals cannot receive payments. On Sept. 24, Judge Phyllis Hamilton of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ordered the Treasury Department and the IRS to reverse the decision. The
previously rescinded stimulus payments now have to be returned to the incarcerated individuals. On Oct. 14, Hamilton also ordered the IRS to extend the deadline for incarcerated individuals covered by the lawsuit to file paperwork to receive the money to Nov. 4. People covered by the lawsuit who did not file a 2018 or 2019 tax return will have to submit a postmarked simplified Form 1040 paper return by Nov. 4 to receive the stimulus payment. The IRS also extended the
online deadline to register for a stimulus payment for people who don’t typically file a tax return to Nov. 21. According to the IRS website, the government is working on an appeal to the decision. “The government has filed an appeal and request to stay the preliminary injunction. Any updates regarding the appeal will be posted on this webpage,” the IRS states. Under the CARES Act, stimulus payments must be made by Dec. 31. People will
still have an opportunity to get the stimulus funds next year, but they won’t receive the money until they file their 2020 tax return. Information on how to help an incarcerated person file for a stimulus payment is available at caresactprisoncase.org. The website includes directions on where to mail the simplified return, as well as a sample Form 1040 with instructions on where to add the incarcerated individual’s personal corrections number to ensure payment is sent to the right place.

In 1996, California banned affirmative action by passing Proposition 209. Since then, the business community has struggled to make inroads in diversity and representation. Last month, Reuters reported that Wells Fargo’s CEO Charles Scharf said that “the unfortunate reality is that there is a very limited pool of black talent to recruit from.” The fact that the CEO of the country’s largest bank so easily admitted defeat when met with the thought of trying to find Black talent is a chilling realization in 2020. The truth is that California’s lack of Black representation in business started with Prop. 209. Companies often blame the lack of representation on “pipeline” issues, where there are not enough women or minorities with the educational or professional experiences needed to work in highly-competitive fields. However, the real problem is the narrow professional and social networks that these high-end professions draw from. Although California has an existing pipeline full of potential applicants, diverse candidates are too often kept out of the education and professional environments that prepare them for these jobs. And California’s ban on affirmative action has dispersed diverse talent in a way that can make it difficult for businesses to hire a representative workforce. Cont rar y to doubters, affirmative action is essential to promote equal opportunity for women and people of color. In a world without affirmative action, women and minorities are paid less, given fewer chances at top jobs, and denied the types of careermaking opportunities that White men use to climb the corporate ladder. But it doesn’t have to be this way. California can join the 41 other states that already have affirmative action as a tool to level the playing field by considering race and gender when making college admissions decisions that can springboard young people into coveted business roles. Without affirmative action, the lack of Black representation in the upper echelon of corporate leadership is startling. According to Institutional Shareholder Services, only 7.3% of the five highest-paid executives at financial companies in the Russell 3000 were racial or ethnic minorities. Heidrick & Struggles also reports that African Americans made up just 10% of new director appointments in the Fortune 500 last year. Black representation is even worse at technology companies. Bloomberg News reported that the portion of Black workers in America’s 8 largest tech companies sits at 3.1% in 2017. In 2016, the
U.S. government reported that Black people made up just 7% of high-tech jobs, and just 3% of Silicon Valley’s workforce. This leaves Black professionals in finance and tech with little support from peers, limited potential mentors, and few sponsors that provide careerchanging opportunities for advancement. To change the status quo, California has the chance to pass Proposition 16, which would reverse the state ban on equal opportunity programs. This would level the playing field for women and minorities, so elected leaders can design programs that provide good jobs, better wages, and access to better schools for all Californians. Some people fear that considering race as a factor in college admissions would lead to quotas that lock them out of top colleges and jobs. But the Supreme Court ruled racial quotas unconstitutional in 1978 and passing Prop. 16 won’t bring them back. We want to close these gaps the right way—not with unconstitutional quotas— by giving everyone a fair shot at success. That’s why Prop. 16 will be subject to monitoring by California’s Department of Justice to ensure that expanded opportunity doesn’t at the expense of unconstitutional discrimination. Prop. 16 will unleash new opportunities in higher education and business to give everyone a shot to succeed. Business leaders won’t be able to blame the pipeline for not having diverse leadership or workers, and we can finally have businesses that reflects California’s diverse communities. Some would have you believe that we can only heal the ills of our past by creating a colorblind society. But after 24 years under Prop. 209, it is now clear that curing a lack of opportunity from color-based discrimination is impossible without affirmatively acting to help the disenfranchised. The wealthy and well-connected in California continue to control access to lucrative careers, top universities, state contracts, and other opportunities for success, and they keep recruiting people just like them to replace join at the top. With Prop. 16, we can start to knock down the barriers to high-quality jobs in business and tech for Black people, so we can all rise together

Black Voters And The Case For Biden-Harris By Ben Jealous
Select National Results for African American, AAPI, Latino, American Indian and White Voters from the 2020 American Election Eve Poll Follow https://electioneve2020.com/ for full data and to track state-specific results when polls close in each state National/State News
My 104-year-old grandmother, Mamie Bland Todd, fought for civil rights her entire life. Now she and I are fighting to protect Black people and communities threatened by President Donald Trump and the people he has put in positions of power. We are working hard to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. There are many reasons for Black people to support Biden and Harris, an extraordinarily accomplished Black woman making a historic run for the White House. Here are a few of them. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Black people from every angle: we are more likely to get sick and more likely to die than white people. We are more likely to be suffering from the economic fallout of the pandemic, which has hit lower income workers especially hard. In response to the virus, Trump has denied, downplayed, and delayed. He mocks people who wear masks to protect their families and communities. He said the pandemic was governors’ responsibility and then he attacked governors who took it seriously. And even while cases are rising in 39 states and some hospitals are so full they have to turn away ambulances, Trump lies to the public and cusses at journalists for reporting on the virus. Joe Biden, in contrast, has done the right thing. By word and by example he has encouraged people to wear a mask. He has a nationwide plan that includes help for workers and small businesses suffering from Trump’s failures and widely available free testing. A BidenHarris administration will trust our top scientists, not insult them.
Biden would defend and improve the Affordable Care Act— Obamacare—which has helped millions of Black people get better access to health care. Trump? He’s urging the Supreme Court to abolish Obamacare and strip millions of vulnerable Americans of their health care coverage. While Trump encourages violent policing and supports right-wing vigilantes—and his supporters deny that systemic racism even exists—Biden and Harris have a criminal justice reform plan to cut down on incarceration rates, strengthen oversight of law enforcement, and increase rights and resources for formerly incarcerated people. Right-wing judges have not only gone along with right-wing voter suppression, they have encouraged it. When conservatives on the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act that my grandmother and so many Americans fought for, Republicans across the country—especially in the south where most Black people live— rushed to make voting harder. And they’re still doing that—even in the middle of the pandemic. Republicans in Florida imposed a new poll tax to keep formerly incarcerated people from voting— and Trump judges gave it their seal of approval. You can bet those are not the kind of judges Joe Biden and a Democratic-majority Senate would put on the courts. W hile Tr ump and his Republicans favor tax cuts for the richest people—who are actually getting richer during the pandemic while so many families are suffering—Biden has a plan that will boost economic growth by focusing
help where it’s needed most and by reducing racial inequities. That’s not what Trump and his allies in the Senate are doing. They’re blocking desperately needed help for workers and communities while ramming onto the Supreme Court another hard-right judge who they are counting on to help them win any election challenges, overturn the Affordable Care Act, and roll back civil rights protections. My grandmother spent her life carrying the torch that those before her had carried in their time. She championed racial equality and witnessed incredible gains in civil rights – the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, the passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act and many more. In this final season of her life, I will not allow the blood, sweat, tears, and love that she and so many others have poured into our community’s advancement be torn down. Please come alongside Mamie and me—or let us come alongside you. Make a plan. Vote. Ben Jealous serves as president of People For the American Way and People For the American Way Foundation. Jealous has decades of experience as a leader, coalition builder, campaigner for social justice and seasoned nonprofit executive. In 2008, he was chosen as the youngest-ever president and CEO of the NAACP. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and he has taught at Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania.

Construct approximately five miles of new multi-use recreational trails within the Harmon Canyon Preserve in the County of Ventura. The RTP provides funds to the states to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for non-motorized and motorized recreational trail uses. The federal Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act Authorization provides funding for the program. Eligible applicants include cities, counties, districts, state agencies, federal agencies, and non-profit
organizations with management responsibilities of public lands. The Office of Grants and Local Services for State Parks conducted a competitive review process and recommended these projects to receive the grants. Eligible nonmotorized projects include land acquisition for recreational trails and recreational trail corridors; and, development, or rehabilitation of trails, trailside, and trailhead facilities. The program requires a minimum 12 percent match derived from local sponsors and state funds. FHWA must approve project recommendations before State Parks can execute grant agreements with these local
agencies. Prior to forwarding these projects to FHWA, each recommended project must comply with the National Historical Preservation Act of 1966 (Section 106), National Environmental Policy Act and be listed on the State Transportation Improvement Plan. Compliance with these requirements can take up to nine months to complete. After the local sponsors complete the three federal requirements listed above, applications are sent to FHWA for its final review. There is a 30day final approval window once FHWA receives the applications from California State Parks.
