Why the 2020 Vote Matters More than Ever to African Americans

The Most Problematic “Fake News” Are Not Complete Falsehoods by Pilar Marrero

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia From left to right: Cameron Hickey, Program Director, Algorithmic Transparency at National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC); Jacquelyn Mason, Senior Investigative Researcher at First Draft; Jacobo Licona, Disinformation Research Lead at Equis Labs Disinformation, misinformation and hate speech, among other types of content, can lead to vote suppression and undermine democratic institutions. Experts offer tips on how to identify them.

Suppression efforts have continued, and, in 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated the federal government’s ability to block states’ voting restrictions. (Photo: iStockphoto / NNPA) Her father survived Jim Crow and saw the evolution of the vote in America, so Lex Scott speaks from a unique perspective when she champions African Americans’ historical significance casting their ballots. “When my father voted, his life was at risk,” remarked Scott, the president of the Black Lives Matter Utah Chapter. “Black people were also filled with many obstacles that prevented them from voting. Some had to be landowners; some had to be sponsored by white personnel,” Scott recalled. “Some had to pay fees. Some were tested. Many people died for that right. It is too important for us not to vote, and if we want to have a democracy, we need to participate in it. We can’t hope that situations will change. We have to be active in helping candidates get elected who will create that change.” The f ight for African Americans’ right to vote dates back to the late 1800s. Freed Blacks in New York briefly held the right to vote before the Civil War, and there were similar instances in other Northern states. “African American men were given the right to vote with the passage of the 15th amendment in 1870 as one of the Reconstruction Amendments after the Civil War, Brianna Mack, an assistant professor of politics and government at Ohio Wesleyan

University, wrote in an email to BlackPressUSA. “The Reconstruction era ended in 1877 with President Rutherford B. Hayes explicitly ending federal oversight of Southern states to fund public schools, establish charitable institutions, raise taxes, and fund public improvements to incorporate newly freed Blacks into the fabric of daily life as citizens and equal participants in America,” Mack noted. During Reconstruction, the Black vote’s influence materialized as African Americans won election to local, state, and national offices. “Black men won election to state legislatures and Congress indicating an impending drastic social change,” Mack added. “Starting in 1868, we see white supremacist groups, precursors to the Ku Klux Klan, use violence to suppress the Black vote, and fraud was rampant. Many congressional elections in the South were contested,” she continued. “Such tactics were used because white political leaders quickly realized that African Americans are independent political beings whose participation in elections can upset the ‘balance’ that previously existed without their involvement. These political leaders could not appeal to Black people and/or Black people were not responsive to their appeals because their appeals were rooted in the subjugation of the racial group i.e. for the foreseeable

future, southern Democrats would/could not count on Black support.” President Lyndon Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which reinforced the 15th amendment of nearly a century earlier. The Voting Rights Act outlawed discriminatory voting practices and effectively provided African Americans the right to cast ballots freely. Despite the 1965 law, Blacks were still denied the right to vote. In some cases, by violence and in many instances through suppression and misinformation tactics. One year after the Voting Rights Act, civil rights activist James Meredith was shot and wounded during a voter registration march between Tennessee and Mississippi. Undaunted, 4,000 African Americans registered to vote in Mississippi the day after the shooting as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Stokely Carmichael joined the march. Suppression efforts have continued, and, in 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated the federal government’s ability to block states’ voting restrictions. In doing so, the high court effectively struck down a significant part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has led to restrictive laws that have primarily affected African American voters. “In a general sense, the power of the vote is absolutely critical

to the creation and maintenance of an equal society, and that’s why ruling classes fought the concept of universal suffrage for so many years in Europe and the U.S.,” remarked Amber Dozier, the managing partner, and chief strategy officer of the ABCD & Company, a Rockville, Marylandbased marketing firm. “In the case of AfricanAmericans, voting is even more important because the laws of this nation have been historically designed in a way that leads to the de facto economic, cultural/ social, and political subjugation or African-Americans,” Dozier added. “The Constitution, a document that framed the legal and political essence of America, declared the African-Americans were threefifths of a White person – all for the purpose of amassing political power through the vote.” She concluded: “This demonstrates that the Black vote has power and has always been a commodity to those in power, even when we were deprived of that right. Voting gives citizens, the power to shape the laws that govern their lives. In a sociopolitical climate where there is vehement debate over the appropriateness of saying ‘Black lives matter.’ African-Americans must vote because our lives and the sanctity with which they are treated depends on it.”

Problematic content – what some call “fake news” — regarding the elections is spreading rapidly in the media environment, potentially laying the groundwork for chaos in this election season. And the most potentially damaging content, according to some experts on disinformation, doesn’t have to be patently false to have an impact. “That’s exactly why sometimes it’s so hard to identify,” said Cameron Hickey, a former journalist and program director of Algorithmic Transparency, a project of the National Conference on Citizenship ( NCOC). Hickey led off a recent EMS conference on disinformation. “It doesn’t matter exactly what form this problematic content is, if it’s misleading, it’s a problem,” Hickey said. “But the stuff that’s absolutely false and can easily be fact checked is not what I am talking about. It’s the murkier gray area Accord i ng to Hickey, problematic content includes disinformation (intentional), misinformation (unintentional), r umors, junk news, and conspiracies. Subject matter varies, he said, noting categories such as: Fear and manipulation: content that tries to make you feel scared or angry or self-righteous in order to change your behavior. Conspiracy theories: theories that reference the “deep state” or so-called “boogeymen” such as Bill Gates or George Soros. Missing Context: information that leaves out a key piece of the context to distort p e ople’s u nde r st a nd i ng. Pseudoscience: such as bogus cures for the Coronavirus or theories arguing that masks do “more harm than good” which have been disproven by science. Hate and dog whistles: divisive language or images designed to elicit a feeling but not to clarify an issue. Faulty Logic: logical fallacies and false equivalencies. Old: cont e nt t hat is out-dated and no longer relevant to the current topic. Q -A non conspiracy theory illustrates the worst

of problemat ic content. “It started very narrowly as a theory about the deep state and pedophilia, and then broadened to include a lot of different things,” Hickey said. “Some people refer to it as a cult, others even as a religion,” The conspiracy includes the idea that Democratic politicians, leaders and celebrities are pedophiles who drink children’s blood to remain young, that Donald Trump is the hero, and that “Q” himself is battling the deep state and the forces of evil, Hickey noted. He added that while pedophilia and child trafficking are real problems as underscored by recent cases involving the Catholic Church and Jeffrey Epstein, Q-Anon goes way beyond any reality. When asked to denounce Q-Anon in a presidential town hall, President Trump declined to do so. Both Facebook and Twitter recently eliminated Q-Anonrelated content and accounts. Another “problematic” type of content, according to Hickey, is the growing theme of “an impending civil war” that many predict will happen after the election. “My concern about this is that there is no reason to believe at the moment that there will be such violence. All the conversation is problematic because it amplifies the potential risk for violence.” Ideological hyperbole also qualifies as misinformation, H ickey s ays , s u ch a s referring to Republicans as “Nazis” and Democrats as “communists” or “socialists.” “These messages are being deployed constantly, not just in social media memes and social discourse but in the ads,” Hickey added. “We are no longer having conversations about the issues or the identities of the politicians running for office but exaggerating narrow bands of their perspective and amplifying them in ways that distort reality.” Some disinformation targets specific communities in different ways.

SoCalGas and The Laundry Truck LA Unveil New Equipment to Provide Free Laundry Services to Unhoused Angelenos Donations from SoCalGas help supply additional trailer to assist with personal care services Community News LOS ANGELES – October 22, 2020 – Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today partnered with The Laundry Truck LA (TLTLA) to unveil the organization’s newest trailer which will provide free mobile laundry services to unhoused individuals in the Greater Los Angeles area. The trailer is fully equipped with five sets of washers and dryers, a folding station, and a water heater. With the addition of the new trailer, TLTLA is expecting to complete over 10,000 loads of laundry by the end of 2020. The Laundry Truck LA is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free mobile laundry services for those in need throughout Los Angeles and is one of the first mobile laundry services in the country to serve the homeless population. With the help of additional sponsors and partners, TLTLA has successfully expanded their operations to meet growing demands. Earlier this year, Landi Renzo USA donated a converted CNG Ford F-250 pickup truck equipped with the company’s Eco Ready™ compressed natural gas (CNG) system to assist with TLTLA’s efforts. The addition of the truck will help TLTLA expand their reach to more people in need while reducing their environmental i mpact a nd lower i ng greenhouse gas emissions. TLTLA’s trailers offer services seven days a week, including night shifts, to unhoused individuals throughout Los Angeles County’s parks, recreation centers and specialized locations. These free laundry services are made available exclusively to individuals experiencing homelessness at designated locations. Accessible personal care services, like laundry, play a large part in helping improve the day-today livelihood, self-confidence, hygiene, and future opportunities for underserved populations. "We are proud to join with SoCalGas in launching this new truck,” said Councilmember Gil Cedillo. “As an early supporter of The Laundry Truck LA, we have been gratified to watch this organization grow, and reach more people experiencing homelessness

in our community. Clean clothing is something so many of us take for granted, but it is truly a human right and need for us all. They provide a great service to the homeless in Council District 1.” “Thanks to The Laundry Truck LA, many people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County have been able to wash and dry their clothes free of cost. That is why I proudly supported The Laundry Truck LA with a grant of $90,405, which made it possible for Laundry Truck LA to provide critical laundry services to residents of the Winter Shelter in Bassett Park,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis. “Access to laundry services is a simple way to give our unhoused neighbors selfconfidence and a sense of dignity.” “I look forward to having my clothes washed and folded every week. This is a great necessity, especially during this time of the coronavirus,” said TLTLA guest Daniel. “What I appreciate the most about The Laundry Truck and their services is their ability to treat all their guests like a human being, regardless of their situation or background.” Earlier this year, SoCalGas donated $25,000 to TLTLA to support rising demands for personal care and laundry services. “As an Angeleno myself, I am extremely proud to join forces with The Laundry Truck LA to provide much needed support and services to our unhoused neighbors throughout Los Angeles County,” said Andy Carrasco, vice president of strategy and engagement, and chief environmental officer at SoCalGas. “Our partnership with The Laundry Truck LA and Landi Renzo allows us to make a positive impact to our community and the environment.” “ Pe o pl e e x p e r ie n c i n g homelessness in LA have been hit hard by the pandemic, and the demand for our free mobile laundry services has never been higher,” said Jodie Dolan, founder of The Laundry Truck LA. “We are deeply grateful to SoCalGas and Landi Renzo for their incredible support and partnership.

Next Week, California Voters Could Get Rid of Cash Bail Statewide Quinci LeGardye | California Black Media

Publisher’s Corner

Clifton Harris Editor in Chief Investigative Reporter sbamericannews@gmail.com

Mary Martin-Harris / Editor Clifton B. Harris / Audio Engineering Editor Legal /Display Advertising (909) 889-7677 The San Bernardino American News was established May 6, 1969. A legally adjudicated newspaper of general circulation on September 30, 1971, case number 15313 by the Superior Court of San Bernardino County.

As cities across California take a closer look at unfair practices in the criminal justice system, Proposition 25 offers a statewide policy that could aid their efforts: getting rid of cash bail. The ballot measure, which is based on SB 10, a bill former Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law two years ago, would replace cash bail with risk assessments for suspects awaiting trial. Currently California uses a cash bail system that allows suspects to pay a cash bond to be released from jail with the promise to return to court for trial, at which point the cash bond is repaid. If Prop 25 passes, cash bail would be replaced with a risk assessment system that categorizes suspects as low risk, medium risk, or high risk, with suspects for misdemeanors exempt from needing a risk assessment. Under the new system, suspects who are categorized as low risk and likely to appear in court – and are also a low risk to society -would be released from jail before trial, and those deemed high risk would remain in jail. The state Judicial Council would decide what the risk assessment tools would be, with the proposition mandating that “tools shall be demonstrated by scientific research to be accurate and reliable.” The California Legislature approved SB 10 during the 2018 session, and former Gov. Jerry Brown signed it into law on Aug. 28 that same year. The next day, opponents filed a referendum to overturn the bill, which prevented the law from being scheduled to take effect in 2019. Opponents gathered enough support to move it to a 2020 ballot initiative, which means the decision to overturn or uphold Prop 25 now falls to voters on Election Day next week. Supporters of Prop 25 argue that the cash bail system is inherently unfair, where wealthy people can pay their way out of jail and poor people with the same likelihood to appear or not appear for trial have to stay imprisoned. They say that the risk assessment system will make public safety the guiding factor to determine which suspects have to stay in jail before trial. They also argue that they system will allow more poor people to go free before awaiting trial, which would save money for local jails. Supporters also argue that the cash bail system is deeply inequitable. They say that people who cannot afford bail are more likely to take a plea deal after months of sitting in jail while possibly losing their jobs and

homes. Those who can afford it, can avoid or minimize jail time and be less impacted by the implications of their arrest. Suppor ters include the California Democratic Party, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the California Medical Association -- as well as Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Congresswoman Karen Bass ( D - CA-37). “For years, Califor nia has proudly led the way on fundamental civil rights and criminal justice reform but, as we’ve witnessed firsthand across our country, there’s more we must do to root out racial inequity and structural bias and to embrace proven reforms that work. This November, state voters will once again have the opportunity to make California a national leader in the unfinished fight for equity and justice,” said Newsom. Opponents of Prop 25 argue that the risk assessment system could be potentially worse than cash bail, with a high possibility that racial profiling could be used in the assessment process. Also, they argue that implementing the system would be too expensive, as the proposition’s fiscal impact statement says it would cost “possibly in the mid hundreds of millions of dollars annually” for the new system. Opponents include the Republican Party of California, the ACLU of Southern California, the Califor nia Business Roundtable and the California Black Chamber of Commerce. Prop 25 is also opposed by the commercial bail bond industry, which would be disrupted if the proposition is passed. The American Bail Coalition organized the political action committee Californians Against the Reckless Bail Scheme that filed the veto referendum in 2018. Representatives of the bail industry argue that risk assessments are no better than cash bail, that they are potentially more costly and that more people who go free before trial may commit more crimes before trail. "This legislation is a reckless attempt at changing the state's bail system and is fundamentally bad for California. While we all agree that bail reform is necessary, this costly, reckless plan will use racially-biased computer algorithms to decide who gets stuck in jail and who goes free. That’s not right,” said Jeff Clayton, spokesperson for Californians Against the Reckless Bail Scheme.

The Most Problematic “Fake News” Are Not Complete Falsehoods...continued Draft, monitors disinformation aimed at the African American community. She singled out a picture of Democratic VicePresidential nominee Kamala Harris — a collage of images of all the black men she locked up and kept in prison past their release date — that went viral on social media. Harris’ record as a prosecutor is often attacked and it’s fair game, Mason noted, but the picture itself was fake. The photographs in the background were not identified and consisted of the same six images repeated time and again. “This is a clear disinformation tactic,” Mason said. Problematic content targeting LatinX communities varies according to the cultural nuances and demographics within each, according to disinformation expert Jacobo Licona of Equis Lab. “Many false narratives are co-opted and rapidly amplified in Spanish, which often goes largely unchecked on social media.” The sharing of information through closed (private) platforms like WhatsApp makes them hard to monitor, he added. “We have seen bad actors using

social media with the goal of suppressing the vote and depressing enthusiasm,” Licona said. The perceived threat of socialism and vote-by-mail attacks are two current examples. “We continue to see some bad actors spreading the idea that socialism is coming to America and they tailor them to their audiences by targeting people who come from Cuba and Venezuela,” Licona said. “This type of speech has been amplified by far-right accounts, and pro-Trump LatinX influencers connecting Biden with socialism and Castro’s Cuba or Maduro’s Venezuela.”. “We all have a role to play in reducing the impact of problematic content,” Hickey concluded. “I believe it’s our shared responsibility to monitor for content like that in our own feeds and track and engage others to be vigilant about it.” Responding negatively is usually not as effective as debunking the actual facts or sharing credible information that “insulates people” from being taken in by problematic content, he said.

“You Ingrates!”...continued

Witness For Justice#1018

On Bobbins, Geese, and Tomatoes Katie Adams Policy Advocate for Domestic Issues for the United Church of Christ Often, the chance to write for Witness for Justice is one I enjoy. Mostly I write dry(ish) policy briefs, and the chance to flex my sartorial and theological muscles in a less restrictive format is welcome. But right now, we’re in the middle of a global pandemic, on the verge of what could be a contested election, after a summer of civil uprising, and facing economic hardship as a result of the pandemic and our government’s failed response. How could I offer wisdom and guidance on these weighty matters? What insight could I have? Many mornings I wake up and immediately feel the heaviness of it all settle on me, like an unwelcome and smothering blanket (not a weighted blanket, which I hear are heavenly). Each day seems to unspool with an uneven thread. If you’ve ever threaded a sewing machine you know that if you don’t thread the bobbin just right, things will get tangled quickly. And right now, it feels like the bobbin of the world hasn’t been threaded right. I reached out to a small group of interfaith partners who have become dear friends. We connect to each other in the virtual space of group text, tenderly offering words of encouragement, cute puppy pictures, and uplifting poems. “Have a Mary Oliver” my friend quips, as she posts for the 100th time Mary Oliver’s life-giving poem “Wild Geese,” which reminds us that who we are is loved, no matter what, and we don’t have to pay penance for that. I show up in planning meetings, now conducted on Zoom with people's lives briefly glimpsed, an unmade bed (mine!), a kid

who is unexpectedly released from online school, soft kittens entranced by the computer glow, and disdain of the meeting agenda. We wrestle with how to show up, how to turn our lofty dreams into operationalized realities, each person touched by an earnest yearning to see a just world and overwhelmed with the enormity of the task. Our meetings do doubleduty: holding that faith aloft while being bogged down by the realities of our world. I make a tomato sandwich, grateful for the last of the summer tomatoes that held on until the first frost, a little piece of lingering summer and sunshine. Maybe it’s the grace of the tomato that makes me realize something for my Witness for Justice column: Sometimes showing up is all we can do. Making a choice and drawing a line in the sand that says I won’t be mired in hopelessness. I’m not at all sure that each choice I make is right; if anything, the impermanence and fragility of our world has become the surest thing in the universe. All I can say is I keep showing up, hoping that when I’m too tired to pray, my actions will be my prayers. So, dear reader. I’m asking for your grace today, to leave you with simple unfiligreed words and a request: That you keep showing up, with buckets of grace and compassion for yourself and for those you love. That as each day comes with its share of joys and sorrows, that you remember you don’t have to astonish or astound or prove your worth with perfection. You’re enough. You showing up is enough.

“You Ingrates!” By: Lou Yeboah

Lou Yeboah “After all I’ve done for you. I have loved you, with an everlasting love [Malachi 1:2], but instead of receiving Me with delight, you receive Me not. [John 1:11]. You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart people. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people; A people that provoketh Me to anger continually to My face'. [Isaiah 1:4-6; Jeremiah 7:1720 Jeremiah 25:7-11; Ezekiel 8:1719; Deuteronomy 31:29; 2 Kings 22:16-17 Hebrews 3:7-9, 12, 15]. You Ingrates! Don’t you know, that My grace is love which you do not deserve, but yet are given? Don’t you know, that it is My grace that is keeping you alive? [Ephesians 2:1-2]. Prostituting My grace. Taking My goodness for granted. [Romans 6:23]. Listen, and listen good. I WILL NOT allow you to become complacent or neglectful concerning Me. I WILL NOT allow you to take Me for granted. Think lightly of the riches of My kindness, tolerance, and patience, and repent quickly, before I bring My wrath upon you, for my patience is at its limit!”

[Romans 2:4-5; 2 Peter 3:8-10]. I want you to know that when God learned of how Israel had betrayed His love and taken His grace for granted, God became furious, and brought His wrath upon Israel. [2 Kings 17:18]. And before they had satisfied their craving, while the food was still in their mouths, the anger of God rose against them, and he killed the strongest of them and laid low the young men of Israel. [Psalms 78:31]. “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid! [Romans 6:2,15] Know that God’s long-suffering will eventually ends. It ended in the days of Noah [Genesis 6:8]. It ended for Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of Abraham. [Genesis 19:1-5]. And, it eventually will end for all of us. [2 Peter 3:10]. “One final appeal, and this is it! This is the final call, says the Lord. Repent before I bring My wrath upon you!” I admonish you to receive Him while you are able. He is a gracious and compassionate God, [Romans 2:4-5; 2 Peter 3:8-10], but He has His limits. For the Lord said in [Genesis 6:3] “My Spirit will not always strive with man. I will proceed no longer in this way, but pass and execute the sentence of condemnation on you...” No one is excluded from Jesus’ demand to repent..” All is included. Don’t delay! The need is urgent! [Acts 17:30]. For Jesus said, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise continued in next 2 columns

perish.” [Luke 13:3]. “The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here” [Matthew 12:41]. Jesus, is warning us of the judgment to come, and offering escape if we will repent. If we will not repent, Jesus has one word, “Woe unto you.” “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin” [Ezekiel 18:30; Acts 3:19]. The Bible commands it, our wickedness demands it, justice requires it, Christ preached it and God expects it. Don’t let the verdict be for you as it was for Israel. They saw all the evidence. They heard all the teaching. They saw the miracles. But they refused to repent. Know that, “If you do not obey Me [take Me for granted and treat Me neglectfully], and do not observe all these commandments, and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me [if you still take Me for granted and if you still neglect Me], then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit. ‘Then, if you [still take

Me for granted] and walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate. ‘And if by these things you [still take Me for granted] are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me, then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied. ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me [if you still are complacent and you continue to neglect Me and take Me for granted], but walk contrary to Me, then I also will walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. But, “If you turn your heart around; if you accept your guilt and change [repent], I will remember My covenant. [Leviticus 4-29; Deuteronomy 28]. They continue in their foolishness. [Proverbs 26:11]. Yet you have not listened to Me, declares the Lord, in order that you might provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands to your own harm. [Jeremiah 25:7]. Hear, O earth: behold, I am bring disaster on this people, the fruit of their plans, because they have not listed to My words, and as for My law, they have rejected it also. [Jeremiah 6:19].

Now, at age 40, she wants ever yone else to know their numbers too. Dealing with Advanced Prostate Cancer? Click here now In early 2016, Monica

revealed how she suffered from high blood pressure and the painful way she discovered it. “I used to have horrible, debilitating headaches. I could not move or get out of the bed. And sometimes it would hurt so bad that I would just pass out.” “W hen I went to the doctor, my blood pressure was 185,” says Monica. “So after being hospitalized for the same thing over and over again, I’ve learned to change some things. Number one, reduce stress. Then change from salty foods continued in next 2 columns

Monica at 40: “I Hurt So Bad, I Would Pass Out... continued” and salt (Monica loves seasoned salt) to more healthy alternatives and change from soda–I love some coca-cola–but now I just drink it in moderation.” This wasn’t the first health scare for the star. When she was just 18 years old and touring the country in support of her second album, she was performing in Washington, D.C., belting out the first portion of “Angel of Mine” when something strange happened. “Everything in front of me basically began to go from color to black-and-white, fading in and out,” she said. “I walked to the side of the stage to ask for help and collapsed into one of our staff people’s arms.” Over the next eight days, doctors struggled to trace the source of her problem. After multiple tests, and a few weeks, doctors finally found their answer. The diagnosis: a heart condition called mitral valve prolapse. In simple terms, the flap between the upper and lower chambers of her heart wasn’t closing properly. Having high blood pressure isn’t only a concern for older adults. The singer reminds millennials that it’s important for people of all ages to know their blood pressure. high blood pressure. You may feel totally fine and still have high blood pressure Left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack and heart failure, stroke, kidney failure; and permanently damage your heart, brain, eyes, and kidneys. What Your Blood Pressure Numbers Mean Your blood pressure numbers are a ratio of two numbers, systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number). According to the AHA, “The top number, which is also the higher of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats (when the heart muscle contracts).” The lower number on the bottom “measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats (when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood).” According to a new study, a startling 75 percent of black people in the United States develop high blood pressure by the age of 55. That’s a far higher rate than seen among either white men (55 percent) or white women (40 percent). “We started to see differences between blacks and whites by age 30,” said lead researcher S. Justin Thomas. “We need to start focusing on preventing hypertension [high blood pressure], particularly in blacks, at an early age,” he added. Thomas is an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s department of psychiatry. It isn’t known why black Americans are more prone to high blood pressure at an earlier age than white Americans, Thomas said. But he speculated that a combination of lifestyle and genetics may explain why. Thomas said preventing high blood pressure needs to start by getting kids to develop healt hy habit s. “I don’t think you can start too early,” he said. “It should start at elementary school. If kids are told frequently that this is important, they will adopt it.” High blood pressure can lead

to serious health problems over time, the researchers noted. Dr. Gregg Fonarow explained that high blood pressure “is a leading risk factor for heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney disease and premature c a r d i o v a s c u l a r d e a t h .” He is a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and was not involved with the new study. Black men and women in the study had twice the risk of high blood pressure than white men and women, even after adjusting for other differences, he added. “Prevention, awareness, treatment, and control of high blood pressure is essential, as cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, disability, hospitalizations and financial hardship,” Fonarow explained. For the study, Thomas and his colleagues collected data on nearly 3,900 young adults who were part of a heart disease risk study. The participants were enrolled in the study when they were 18 to 30 years old, and they didn’t have high blood pressure at the time. High blood pressure is defined as a systolic pressure (the upper number) of 130 mm Hg or higher and a diastolic pressure (the lower number) of 80 mm Hg or higher. T hese blood pressu re benchmarks were first released in 2017, replacing the previous def inition of high blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg. This lower threshold for defining high blood pressure means even more Americans will be diagnosed with high blood pressure at younger ages, Thomas said. Excess weight was the biggest risk factor for developing high blood pressure, regardless of sex or race, the researchers found. Blacks and whites who kept a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet were able to lower their risk for high blood pressure, the study findings showed. The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat or fat-free dairy, fish, poultry, beans, seeds and nuts, and low in red meat and salt. Dr. Byron Lee is director of electrophysiology laboratories and clinics at the University of California, San Francisco. He said that “in many ways, 55 is the new 65. Dealing with Advanced Prostate Cancer? Click here now We used to not worry about hypertension until we reached our mid-60s, but it’s clear now that many of us need to take action much sooner.” Lee pointed out that high blood pressure is a “modifiable risk factor for heart attack and stroke. And if we don’t act on it, we are missing a major opportunity to decrea se mor t alit y.” SOURCES: S.

Kelvin Hayden and Taraji P. Henson In 2018 Taraji P. Henson announced that she was engaged to Kelvin Hayden, years after they were spotted holding hands in Miami. Unfortunately wedding bells won’t be ringing for the couple after all. Henson, 50, has confirmed that she and 37 year-old former NFL player, Kelvin Hayden have ended their engagement. She was a part of New York City radio show's, “The Breakfast Club”, group discussion on trauma's impact on relationships adding “I’m dedicated to Black men, y’all. I just turned 50 and it just didn’t work out. And I tried. I was like, "Therapy. Let's do the therapy thing. But if you're both not on the same page with that, then you feel

like you're taking it on yourself. And that's not a fair position for anybody to play in a relationship.” “My happiness is not his responsibility and his happiness is not mine. We have to first learn how to make ourselves happy to make each other happy. “When one person is taking on the weight of the entire relationship, it's never going to work. "You have to show up, and, yes, you want to be understanding," she said. "But you can't lose yourself in that understanding. You have to still stand up for yourself and be there for yourself, but it's hard to do if the other person isn't doing that part either." The couple were scheduled to be married in June this year.

This competitive grant program funds facility acquisition, construction and/or renovation, equipment acquisition, and applicable program startup or expansion costs for crisis residential treatment facilities, crisis stabilization facilities, mobile crisis support teams, and family respite care. “Cases of children and youth in crisis have increased drastically in the past generation, and the current home schooling situation during the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the situation,” Treasurer Ma said. “We need to increase mental health crisis services, so these children and youth can get the help they need and reach their full potential.” The deadline for counties to apply for grants is Friday, January 29, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Non-profit corporations are also encouraged to contact their counties to apply jointly.

Mauritanian immigration rights activists Bakary Tandia and Houleye Thiam at a pre-Covid-19 demonstration. Fleeing persecution in Nigeria, arriving in the United States, Pastor Ben said he was immediately taken into detention. “I was told I would see the judge in two weeks,” the time stretched to “five years and two months only because I asked for asylum at the airport.” Pastor Ben was a panelist at “From Africa to Deportation: Black Africans Confront the U.S. Asylum System,” an Interfaith Immigration Coalition forum on challenges asylum seekers face in America. Co-hosted and moderated by Sylvie Bello, Cameroon American Council, and Jennie Guilfoyle, Immigration Justice Campaign, the event explored the reasons leading to the desperate journeys by those seeking relief from harsh and sometimes life-threatening scenarios. The forum exposed the disdain and

misery to which Africans are subjected in American prisons. As Guilfoyle noted, ICE’s technically termed detention facilities, “they’re really prisons.” She said they fuel “the deportation machinery” and are typically located in rural, remote areas that make it difficult to find available immigration attorneys, translators, or interpreters nearby. Detainees hail from across Africa, including Guinea, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and of late, Cameroon. Bello concurred. “They apply for asylum; they seek legal support and with almost no interpreters that are culturally sensitive and language appropriate for African languages and religions.” She contended that judges’ lack of empathy, unfamiliarity with local conditions that spur asylum requests, and impatience with the claimants are hallmarks

of the judicial process. Pastor Ben became a jailhouse lawyer, studied in the law library, learned Spanish and became familiar with other languages so he could help inmates: “Africans, Mexicans, Latinos – name it, different people from different countries… help them look for a lawyer and things like that.” As many immigration prison facilities are owned by for-profit companies, Pastor Ben said there is likely a correlation with the lengthy stays asylum seekers endure. From the start of the Trump Administration in 2017, ICE awarded contracts of $480 million to GEO and $331 million to CoreCivic — America’s two largest private prison corporations. Overcrowding puts detainees at high risk for nfectious disease transmission even while they endure poor food and an abysmal quality of medical care. “Being in that detention system, there is no human dignity,” Pastor been said. Guilfoyle said the Trump administration’s continuing dismantling of the asylum system makes it almost impossible to qualify for asylum. Given the politicization of ICE’s workforce and administration, solving these issues will require a reorientation “with justice and with dignity — which is very much missing right now,” she said.

“They are not criminals and should not be treated that way,” insisted Houleye Thiam, a social worker in Columbus, OH, and president of the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights in America. Ohio hosts the largest number of Mauritanian im migrants in A mer ica. According to Thiam, they fled a highly racialized society where the ruling minority of lighterhued Mauritanians, primarily of Arab descent, impose a secondclass citizenship upon the Black majority and even slavery on some. “Immigration is not often a choice,” Thiam stated. “When you leave parents, sometimes children, sometimes childhood friends, sometimes the country you know and love… When you leave all of that behind to try a whole new experience in a different country where you do not even speak the language… it’s because you’re running away from something bigger than yourself… Running away from a whole host of human rights abuse.” For Bello, solutions to the inequities Black African asylees face include revamping U.S. foreign policy. African asylees are often fleeing regimes that have “a lot of heavy militarization backed by the U.S. government.” She advocated supporting U.S. continued on page 7

Leading Organizations Urge Policymakers and Higher Education Leaders to Improve Higher Education Transfer Policies and Practice

Urgent action is needed to tackle the largest anticipated wave of students transferring due to COVID-19, economic­recession and sig­nificant racial justice implications National/State News WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Anticipating a larger-than-ever wave of students transferring across higher education institutions due to COVID-19 and the economic recession, today a diverse group of 25 policy, advocacy, research and institutional membership organizations issued a call to action to policymakers and higher education leaders to improve transfer policies. Highlighting the racial justice implications at stake, the organizations elevate the urgency of addressing practices and policies that result in credit loss. The signatories are all members of the Scaling Partners Network convened by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The organizations work together under the principle that greater connection and coordinated action will enable the higher education field to scale innovations faster, more efficiently and with deeper impact. "Calls for systemic change demand a hard look at practices and policies in higher education that continue to produce inequitable student outcomes by race and ethnicity," said Nyema Mitchell of JFF. "Among those that contribute most to inequity in postsecondary outcomes are transfer policies and practices."

Because they are most likely to begin in community college, Black, Latinx and Indigenous students are hardest hit by practices and policies that result in credit loss when they transfer (or contemplate doing so). Transfer student outcomes are deeply inequitable by income as well. Challenges with transfers in the higher education systems are primary drivers of serious inequities and injustices by income, race and ethnicity. "I understand how burdensome it can be to servicemen when courses don't apply and you lose time and benefits taking them over again," said Russell Otway, a father of two who served in the U.S. Navy. "Like many veterans managing injuries, my kids' learning and my online courses during the pandemic, when I hit roadblocks with applying credits, I can get discouraged." The call to action is particularly relevant because the national movements toward providing two free years of college and increasing dual enrollment for high school students could lead many more students to enter college with credits earned in community college. Four-year colleges and universities often refuse to apply credits earned at community colleges toward degree requirements.

"Ever yone engaged in delivering and setting policies for higher education should aspire to 100% of students' credits applying to a credential when they transfer," said Martha Ellis of the Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin. "To ensure we are ready for the coming wave of student mobility, policymakers and higher education leaders must be laser-focused on dismantling barriers to the applicability of all credits and verified learning." Scaling Partners Network members identified essential transfer actions informed by research and exemplary credit applicability practices. Actions for policy leaders include, among others: interrogating policies related to transfer with a racial equity lens; designing state aid to be portable when students transfer; and incentivizing institutions to develop, scale and sustain prog r a m s t hat promot e collaboration between institutions. Actions for higher education leaders include, among others: prioritizing transfer through disaggregating, analyzing and regularly distributing data from both sending and receiving institutions to community colleges to facilitate understanding of current student outcomes; developing tuition price

guarantees and scholarships for transfer students that replicate similar-situation students who began at the institution in their first year; and creating clear pathways for students by developing and formalizing robust dualadmissions agreements that map student pathways, build a sense of belonging for transfer students and guarantee applicability of credits upon transfer. "State and institutional policies and practices should recognize that traditional inequities are exacerbated in the current pandemic crisis," Scaling Partners members ref lected in the call to action. "We must focus on closing equity gaps that have taken on increased urgency as the health, education and workforce impacts of COVID-19 have disproportionately affected low-income communities and Black, Latinx and Indigenous populations." Scaling Partners Network member signatories to the transfer call to action include: Achieving the Dream (ATD) American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU)

African Asylum Seekers Face Shameful Treatment...continued from page 6 politicians who demand domestic policy reforms, as well. “The Muslim ban is the African ban,” she said, by way of example. “Travel bans for Africans have always been part of this immigration system which is based off a racialized anti-Black system that permeates throughout America.” D e c r y i ng t h e fo r c e d hysterectomies of 16 immigrant women in Georgia’s Irwin County Detention Center, Bello was heartened that nurse and whistleblower Dawn Wooten is African American. Bello lauded Rep Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, members of the Congressional Black Caucus and others who got involved in response to the story. “Black women have been all over this,” Bello said. She sees the racial reckoning in America intertwining the lives Black Africans and African Americans. Opal Tometi, a cofounder of Black Lives Matter, is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Bello said, adding that “one out of five Black babies born in America today has an African parent or grandparent.” “Why is it that immigration justice consistently fails to look at anti-Blackness within its system?” Bello asked. She described journeys by foot, car, bus, train, and plane, sometimes

through as many as eight countries to arrive at America’s southern border, “and then facing deportation and detention, and a lot of times facing death in the U.S. immigration system.” The South Georgia Immigration Network was among the entities that helped Pastor Ben to gain release from incarceration, but his case is pending. Meantime, he feeds the homeless, helps other detainees, and occasionally preaches. “I was released on supervision after the District Court ordered ICE to release me because of prolonged detention.” “An ICE officer told me that he would deport me. I asked him, ‘Why would you want to deport me when I fear for my life? If you send me back, I’m going to get killed.” “It really broke my heart that another fellow human being would know that death is waiting for you and they still want to force you and send you back there.” Khalil Abdullah is Contributing Editor for Ethnic Media Services. He joined New America Media as its first Director in the Washington D.C. office. He has also served as the Lead Facilitator and Editor of the Beat Within, Washington D.C. edition, and Managing Editor of the Washington Afro-American Newspaper.

PROP 23: Puts patient lives at risk. Nearly 80,000 Californians get dialysis treatments three days a week, four hours at a time to stay alive. Missing even one treatment increases the risk of death by 30%.

PROP 23: Disproportionately hurts people of color. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, African Americans are 3.5 times more likely to develop kidney failure and need dialysis treatment.

Prop 23 would impose costly, unnecessary new mandates that would increase dialysis clinic costs by hundreds of millions of dollars every year - putting many clinics at risk of closure.

Prop 23 hurts the poorest and most vulnerable individuals in our communities by reducing access to the care they need to stay alive.
