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)
Trump, COVID and Needless Suffering
What is the president’s obligation to those sickened or killed by a virus he could have done far more to tame? By Danny Feingold
The current saga of Donald Trump and his struggle with COVID-19 raises a host of questions. Some of these are political, but others cut deeper, including this: What is the responsibility of leaders to limit the needless suffering of others? Neither the Constitution nor any acts of the courts or Congress compel a president to make the reduction of human suffering a priority. But the value of decency, and the expectation that power should be exercised for the common good, certainly do. Trump’s illness, and that of the growing number infected within his circle, could probably have been avoided with basic safety
measures. He will, and should, be judged for refusing to insist on such obvious precautions as mask wearing and social distancing. But what about the 7.4 million Americans who have contracted COVID-19, the more than 200,000 who have died? What was Trump’s obligation to those who have endured serious complications, or those who succumbed to the disease? Compassion for a president in the throes of sickness should not preclude a clear-eyed assessment of whether he has used the immense authority of his office to limit needless suffering. In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, Trump’s
failure to protect Americans from preventable pain and death will forever be intertwined with his legacy. The road not taken – strong federal leadership in testing, PPE production and distribution, contact tracing, mandatory use of masks and public education – traces the nation’s despair. And we should not forget that millions of Americans face the threat of the pandemic without health insurance. An estimated 5.4 million American workers lost their health insurance between February and May of this year. During the President’s first three years in office, while the Trump administration worked to undermine the
Affordable Care Act, the number of uninsured Americans increased by 2.3 million. The revelation contained in Bob Woodward’s book “Rage” that Trump understood the ravages of COVID-19 early on puts his inaction into stark relief. Since he cannot invoke ignorance, what is left to explain the toxic mixture of lies and denial that has defined the president’s response to the worst infectious disease outbreak since the flu of 1918? If it was political calculation, nothing could be more morally bankrupt. If it was a lack of empathy, we reach the same conclusion. And if it was an inability to rise to the challenge of shielding a nation
from intolerable anguish, then only a titanic ego would have precluded leaning on others to help mount a vigorous defense. In contemplating the inescapable fact that the president could have blunted the horror of COVID-19 but chose not to, another question emerges: Would he have acted differently had his own infection and illness come much earlier? There is no way to know, of course – but assuming Trump survives, his words and actions in the weeks to come will at least be telling. Will he finally acknowledge publicly that COVID-19, far from on the verge of disappearing, is a mortal threat to the country? Will he take
responsibility for the dereliction of duty that has defined his response to the pandemic? Will he express genuine sympathy for those who have suffered and died, and the mourning families left behind? Doing so, with no consideration for the political fallout, would not redeem Trump for the tragedy that has transpired on his watch. But it would save lives and serve as a warning to future presidents that spin, bravado and neglect are no substitute for leadership. Perhaps those who follow him will embrace this variation on the Hippocratic Oath: Do everything possible to prevent needless suffering, because the wellbeing of a nation depends on it.
Generation Lost: UC-Berkeley’s Missing Black Graduates Dr. Harry Edwards
In the mid-1960s, the University of California, Berkeley started its Educational Opportunity Program to target underrepresented applicants and combat this history of discrimination. Unsurprisingly, this program was a success and the number of Black freshmen continued to rise until 1996. That year,
Governor Pete Wilson and Black conservative Ward Connerly led an effort to repeal these education gains by passing Proposition 209. Prop. 209 prohibited public universities from considering race and ethnicity in admissions decisions, which has closed Berkeley’s doors to countless minority students. But Black
students were hit especially hard. After Prop. 209, Black freshman enrollment at Berkeley dropped from 258 to 126. The numbers at professional schools were even more troubling. For example, there was only 1 Black student among Berkeley Law’s 268 first-year students. The lack of Black students at Berkeley has not improved with time. Since Prop. 209 passed, the percentage of Black enrollees at Berkeley has only once reached 4%, and the percentage has hovered around 3% since 2007. Had the percentage of Black freshman stayed at pre-209 levels, there would have been
4,061 more Black enrollees since 1998 at Berkeley. This has also led to declining participation in science, technology, degree attainment, average wages, and the likelihood of earning higher wages throughout to the Black community. Meanwhile, a state auditor found that UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and UC San Diego admitted dozens unqualified students based on their connections to staff and donors since 2013. Each one of those admissions came at the expense of other qualified applicants, with most of the freshmen spots going to White applicants
from families making at least $150,000 per year. Specifically, the auditor scolded UC Berkeley because their admissions practices for the wealthy and well-connected “demonstrates that campus leadership has failed to establish a campus culture that values commitment to an admissions process based on fairness and applicants’ merits and achievements.” While Prop. 209 has hamstrung Berkeley’s ability to recruit Black students, public universities from 41 other states can still take race into account when making college admissions decisions. This is also true of private universities
that still consider race and ethnicity in their admissions policies to create avenues for Black applicants to access higher education. For example, Stanford’s Fall 2019 freshman class was 8% Black or African American. That percentage nearly triples Berkeley’s freshman class for last year. Those numbers are even worse when omitting student-athletes. C a l i fo r n i a’s b a n o n affirmative action perversely limits our top universities from enrolling promising minority students and forces those that continued on page 2

Gov. Newsom’s Nominee for State Supreme Would Be Third Black Justice on High Court Tanu Henry | California Black Media
Governor Newsom and Justice Jenkins On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom nominated Martin Jenkins, a San Francisco native, and a former prosecutor and judge, to the California Supreme Court. If confirmed, Jenkins, 66, would be the third African American to serve on the state’s highest court. The governor nominated Jenkins, who his peers describe as a moderate Democrat, to replace Justice Ming W. Chen, a Republican Gov. Pete Wilson appointed in 1996. Chen retired in August. “I am more excited about Martin Jenkins’ appointment than I was for my own,” says Judge Teri L. Jackson, who Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed last year Associate Justice of the First District Court of Appeal, Division Three, in San Francisco. Jackson, who also grew up in San Francisco, has known Jenkins most of her life. “I feel so lucky to have always had him as an older brother, mentor, confidante and friend. Now, the whole state of California will be lucky to have him -- we all can experience his brilliance
together, his commitment to justice, his sense of fairness and his collegial style. He always tries to seek common ground and the common good,” she said. “He will bring practical and intellectual analysis to our Supreme Court. And it will come with compassion, courage and dedication.” When Gov. Newsom announced Jenkins’ nomination, he hailed the jurist’s performance, reputation, character and temperament. “Justice Jenkins is widely respected among lawyers and jurists, active in his Oakland community and his faith, and is a decent man to his core,” Newsom said in a statement. “As a critical member of my senior leadership team, I’ve seen firsthand that Justice Jenkins possesses brilliance and humility in equal measure. The people of California could not ask for a better jurist or kinder person to take on this important responsibility.” Jenkins currently serves as Gov. Newsom’s judicial appointments secretary. In that role, Jenkins, who would be the first openly gay man
to serve on the California Supreme Court, worked with Regional Judicial Advisory Selection Committees to help the governor nominate 45 judges across the state from diverse backgrounds. On Monday, Jenkins reacted to the news of his appointment. “I am truly humbled and honored to be asked by the governor to continue serving the people of California on the Supreme Court,” Jenkins said following the governor’s announcement. “If confirmed, I will serve with the highest ethical standards that have guided me throughout my career, informed by the law and what I understand to be fair and just.” Jenkins began his legal career as a prosecutor for the Alameda County District Attorney office. After that, he held several positions in public and private practice, including trial attorney for Pacific Bell’s legal department in San Francisco; an attorney appointed by President Ronald Reagan with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of continued in last 3 columns
Gov. Newsom’s Nominee for State Supreme Would Be Third Black Justice on High Court...continued Justice; and judgeships on the Oakland Municipal Court and the Alameda County Superior Court. Before accepting his current role in the governor’s office, Jenkins served as an associate justice on the California Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, from 2008 to 20019. Before that, he was a federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District. President Bill Clinton appointed him to that position. Jenkins completed his undergraduate degree at Santa Clara University and earned his Juris Doctor at the University of San Francisco School of Law.
After college, he signed a contract to play in the NFL as a cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks, but he decided to go to law school instead. Jenkins, a devout Catholic, says he remembers working with his father as a kid cleaning offices and churches around San Francisco for extra money. His father was a custodian and clerk at Coit Tower, a historical landmark in San Francisco. His mother was a nurse. The other two African American justices who have served on the California Supreme Court are Justice Leondra Reid Kruger, who former Gov. Jerry Brown appointed in 2014,
and Justice Wiley William Manuel, who former Gov. Jerry Brown also appointed in 1977 during his first term. Jenkins’ nomination is pending approval by the State Bar’s Commission on Judicial Nominees and confirmation by the Commission on Judicial Appointments. The members of that commission are California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra and senior Presiding Justice of the state Court of Appeal J. Anthony Kline. As a Supreme Cou r t Justice, Jenkins would earn an annual salary of $261,949.
Generation Lost: UC-Berkeley’s Missing Black Graduates... continued from page 1 do enroll to jump through hoops just to get there. At the same time, it immeasurably strips the Black community of economic opportunity. Black taxpayers have continued supporting California’s public universities while receiving less and less for that investment. The effect of Prop. 209 is that Black students that have been able to succeed—often at underresourced K-12 schools—are then penalized in the college admissions process. This further compounds on the negative impact of the inequities these students are forced to confront and overcome just to graduate high school. According to the Economist, college graduates earn about $17,500 more annually than those with a high school diploma. The
economic losses on an individual level pale in comparison to the countless dollars in lost opportunities for Black businesses, decades-long deficits in educational opportunities for Black students, and nearly two generations of losses of Black business owners, lawyers, engineers, nurses, and doctors. The harm to Black communities in the Bay Area will be felt for decades as California has sent fewer students to the state’s flagship training ground for business and community leadership. Because of Prop. 209, the wealthy and wellconnected in California continue to control access to lucrative careers that are only accessibly to alumni from top universities, and they keep cherry-picking successors that look just like them.
Proposition 16 gives the next generation students a deserved and enhanced opportunity to achieve success in surmounting those inequities—and they, our universities, and this society would be much better off for it. We desperately need something new in California. Prop. 16 will begin to prove that our lives matter by taking back our hardwon rights to equal opportunities in jobs, business, housing, and college admissions for Black Californians. Prop. 16 is a key tool for expanding opportunities for young Black people, and we need your vote in November to make that opportunity a reality. Dr. Harry Edwards is a Professor Emeritus at U.C. Berkeley and founder of the Olympic Project for Human Rights.

What’s at Stake with Trump’s Supreme ACLU Proposition Endorsements for 2020 Election Court Nominee: Health Care and Civil addresses systemic racism housing crisis and rising numbers and gender discrimination. of people who are homeless. Rights By Ben Jealous
Ben Jealous Republicans’ rush to fill the vacant U.S. Supreme Court seat before the election is a terrible threat to Black people’s civil rights and the health of our communities. In her 27 years on the Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a champion of civil rights. During those same years, though, Republican presidents and senators moved the court further and further away from its duty to protect racial equity and the rights of working people. During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, we counted on the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the constitutional principle of equality under law. We have counted on federal courts to enforce the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights act, federal laws that finally put the force of law behind the idea that Black people are part of the Constitution’s “We, the people.” But the Supreme Court we have today is a long way from the Court that did away with legal segregation, a long way from the court that upheld civil rights laws that were won with the blood of Black people and our allies in the struggle for equality. Ginsburg was often a key vote in 5-4 decisions that protected civil rights. And as the right-wing took power, she was often a powerful prophetic voice dissenting from abominations like the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. As part of a political deal to help him win the White House, Trump turned over selection of judges to a hard-right legal movement that wants to reverse many of the social justice gains of the past century. Any Trump nominee would have been a threat to the causes for which Ginsburg devoted her life. Judge Amy Coney Barrett b el ieve s Oba m a ca r e is unconstitutional—and there’s a case coming before the Supreme Court just a week after the election that will give her and other rightwing justices a chance to destroy access to health care and legal protections for people, right in the middle of a pandemic. In a case that raises alarms about her commitment to racial equity, she voted to deny a hearing to a Black man who worked for
a company that assigned staff to different stores based on their race. If she is confirmed, our ability to count on federal courts to protect our rights will be diminished even further. Yet, this is Republicans’ top priority, just a month before Election Day, with many Americans already voting to turn out the president who is trying to create a Supreme Court that will protect his agenda long after he is gone. Here’s what Senate Republicans aren’t doing while they confirm every new judge, no matter how extreme or unqualified, President Trump sends their way: They aren’t dealing with the COVID crisis that is killing Black and brown people at a far higher rate than white people—and they aren’t providing relief for all the working people driven into economic crisis by the pandemic. They aren’t taking up the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which would bring back federal protections for voting rights that were once embraced by politicians from both parties. They aren’t acting on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which would bring greater accountability to law enforcement and protect people of color from racist and discriminatory policing. The push by Trump and Senate Republicans to pack the Supreme Court while ignoring the urgent needs of our community and our demands for justice is the ultimate evidence of how important this election is to America, especially to Black America. Do not sit this one out. Get registered. Make a plan to vote. And vote like our lives depend on it. 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.

YES on Prop 18 that would expand voting rights to 17-yearolds by allowing them to vote in primary or special elections if they will be 18 by the time of the next general election. NO on Prop 19 that would allow some property owners to carry their existing property tax rates to new homes anywhere in the state. It threatens funding for schools and essential services. NO on Prop 20 that would turn back a recent succession of reforms in our justice system and dramatically increase the number of people incarcerated in our prisons and jails. YES on Prop 21 that would allow local communities to institute or expand rent control to help deal with California’s
NO on Prop 22 that was written by app-based rideshare and delivery companies. It would deny drivers minimum wages, paid sick leave, and unemployment insurance. NO on Prop 24 that is a fake privacy law. Instead of increasing protections, it requires people to jump through more hoops and adds anti-privacy loopholes for big business. NO on Prop 25 that would eliminate money bail, but replace it with risk assessment tools that are racially and socioeconomically biased. It would also expand police agency f u nd i ng. YES on Measure J in L.A. County that would allocate at least 10% of existing locallycont rolled revenues for community investment and alternatives to incarceration.

Who’s Really Paying For That $10 Uber Ride? Surprise: It’s Your Driver by Sunita Sohrabji
Covered California for Small Business Announces a Record-Low Weighted Average Rate Change of 1.5 Percent for 2021...continued Table 1: Covered California for Small Business Average R ate Cha nge, by Yea r Year Rate Increase (Percentage) 2021 1.5 2020
From left to right: Dr. Veena Dubal, Professor of Law at the U.C. Hastings School of Law. Dr. Dubal; Dr. Alexandrea Ravenelle, Professor in Sociology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Roberto Moreno, driver for Uber and Lyft Gig economy workers, who now comprise more than onethird of the U.S. labor force, lost an estimated 75 percent of their income in the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gig economy workers comprise app-based drivers for ride-share and food delivery services, such as Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Instacart, and Postmates. They can also work through online platforms, such as TaskRabbit, Fiverr, and AirBnB. House-cleaners, gardeners, temp workers, and independent contractors are also categorized as gig workers. As the pandemic hit, demand for such services exponentially dropped, leaving workers with no money and no financial safety nets such as unemployment or savings. This emerging labor force is overwhelmingly made up of people of color and newer immigrants, who are largely underpaid, often below minimum wage. The Bureau of Labor Statistics noted in 2017 that 55 million people worked in the gig economy; that number is expected to grow to 43 percent of the U.S. labor pool. Veena Dubal, a professor of law at the University of California Hastings School of Law, characterized app-based driving as “one of the most dangerous jobs in America,” at an Oct. 2 briefing organized by Ethnic Media Services. She noted that drivers are grossly underpaid, have no health insurance, no sick or paid family leave, and no unemployment insurance. Drivers work more than 40 hours a week, and net about $10.17 an hour, according to data from the Economic Policy Institute. “This is a highly exploitative model that really lowers labor costs for companies and and cuts the ability of workers to
make a living,” said Dubal. “Right now, quite frankly, is not a good time to be a gig worker,” said Alexandrea Ravenelle, author of “Hustle and Gig,” at the briefing. “Gig workers are in jobs that carry a high risk of exposure to COVID because they are often working in close proximity with strangers, whether they are driving strangers in their personal cars or being asked to go into a stranger’s private home to do organizing or cleaning work,” said Ravenelle, a professor in Sociology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who is currently studying the impact of COVID-19 on gig workers in New York. Many gig workers who were eligible for unemployment chose not to take the benefit, fearing for their immigration status, said Ravenelle. Moreover, as unemployment levels hit historic highs during the initial onslaught of the pandemic, many former employees turned to the gig economy to make rent and feed their families as unemployment benefits were delayed. This created more competition for existing gig workers, she said. The sociologist said that gig workers are increasingly vulnerable to scammers amid the pandemic, who use baitand-switch techniques to lure people in, sometimes into sex work. “So it’s very much a scary Wild West out there for workers who are unemployed or underemployed during this pandemic,” said Ravenelle. She also predicted that the U.S. labor force would increasingly move towards the gig model, leaving workers without the health and financial protections of past generations. California voters will get a chance to weigh in on the gig
economy this November, with Proposition 22, a ballot measure which seeks to keep app-based drivers classified as independent contractors, and not employees. Last year, the California state Legislature passed AB5, a measure reclassifying almost all gig economy workers as employees who were eligible for at least minimum wage and health benefits. Last month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 2257 which stipulated that some independent contractors, including musicians and journalists, were exempt from AB5. Uber and Lyft fought back against AB5, continuing to classify their drivers as i ndependent cont ractors, in violation of the new law. In August, California Superior Court Judge Ethan Schulman ruled against the companies, citing them in violation of AB 5. He also ruled that drivers in California were owed billions of dollars in back wages, because they had been making less than minimum wage and were often losing money during the pandemic while demand was so low. Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Instacart, and Postmates have collectively spent more than $184 million on the Yes on 22 campaign, the most expensive ballot campaign in the state’s history. Almost 900,000 app-based drivers work California’s roads. “Prop. 22 is the most dangerous labor law that I’ve seen in in my lifetime, said Dubal of UC Hastings, who is an ardent opponent of the ballot initiative. App-based driving companies are currently unregulated, and huge lobbying efforts have allowed them to be free of enforcement of labor laws, she said.
Drivers only get paid for time in which a customer is in their care; they do not get paid for time driving to the pick-up point, nor for time waiting for a ride. Prop. 22 is also dangerous for consumers, said Dubal, since it limits the liability of companies. If a passenger gets into an accident while in a Lyft or Uber car, the company is not liable for medical expenses and the like. The liability falls to the driver, from whom it may be impossible to extract damages, she said, adding that this dis-incentivizes companies from making sure their drivers are safe to drive when they get on the road, creating hazardous environments for both drivers and passengers. If the measure passes, Dubal predicted other companies would use the model as a means to exploit labor. “We are considered free human capital,” stated Roberto Moreno, who has been driving for both Uber and Lyft since 2017. Drivers spend 60 to 80 hours a week on the roads, but 15 to 20 hours of that time is unpaid as they wait for rides. Moreover, the company will charge a customer, for example, a $55 fare, but pay the driver his cut of only a $40 fare, he alleged. Drivers also often have to drive long distances to pick up a small fare: they are not allowed to reject rides and don’t know the length of the ride until the passenger is in the car. Drivers are also not allowed to reject riders with low ratings, which may put them in hazardous situations with unruly passengers. “Right now we’re talking about drivers. But after November, if Prop. 22 passes, I believe we’re going to be talking about teachers, nurses, welders, and grocers. All of those people are going to be in the same boat,” predicted Moreno.

lower than national projected increases for larger employers. “Covered California for Small Business continues to meet the needs of employers and their employees across the state,” said Peter V. Lee, executive director of Covered California. “In addition to driving down premiums, we will be upgrading our platform to continue to provide small-business consumers with
even more value and choice.” This year’s rate change of 1.5 percent is lower than the recent projection of 5.0 percent that larger employers expect to see in 2021 (see Table 1: Covered California for Small Business Average Rate Change, by Year). The program’s five-year average rate change is 4.3 percent. “The sustained growth of Covered California for Small
Business is another example of how the Affordable Care Act continues to work for Californians,” Lee said. “The growth of Covered California for Small Business, coupled with only small rate changes, helps all small business employers and their employees by putting competitive pressure on plans across the state.” continued in next 2 columns

Covered California for Small Business will continue to offer five plans in 2021, including two preferred provider organization (PPO) plans from Blue Shield of California and Health Net, both offering their broadest provider networks, and two health maintenance organization (HMO) plans — which are provider- and hospital-based — from Kaiser Permanente and Blue Shield. The 2021 portfolio of health plans also includes Sharp Health Plan in San Diego and Oscar Health Plan of California, which will be offering coverage in Los Angeles
and Orange counties. In addition, Blue Shield will also provide HMO plans to residents of Fresno, Kings and Madera counties. Covered California for Small Business has experienced double-digit percentage growth in membership for six consecutive years. Currently, more than 62,000 individuals have insurance through Covered California for Small Business, representing a growth of approximately 7,000 individuals, or a 12.7 percent gain in membership over this time last year. “As we enter into open enrollment for the individual market with state subsidies again available, we want to be sure small-business owners know their options and opportunities with Covered California,” Lee said. The steady growth makes Covered California for Small Business one of the largest small-business health options programs in the nation. “Our weighted average rate change this year is again the lowest rate increase ever,” said Terri Convey, director of Covered California’s Outreach and Sales division. “We’ve been able to have low increases for the last five years, proving that our employee choice platform is working well for small businesses.” Just as in Covered California’s individual market, consumers may be able to limit increases in their rates, or perhaps even save money on their premiums, by shopping and switching to the lowestcost plan in the same metal tier. Businesses with up to 100 full-time equivalent employees can apply for health insurance coverage for their workers through Covered California for Small Business. Federal tax credits may be available to employers with 25 or fewer employees. Vi sit w w w.C ove r e d CA . com/forsmallbusiness/ for information on how to apply.

‘Millennials’: Kyle Massey, Keraun Harris, Philip Bolden, Aaron Grady, And Teresa Celeste To Star In New UMC Multi-Cam Comedy Lifestyle News
Los Angeles, CA (BlackNews. com) -- Millennials, the multicamera comedy series recently greenlit by the popular AMC Networks streaming service, UMC, has officially named its cast. Kyle Massey (That’s So Raven), Keraun Harris (viral social media star @KingKeraun), Philip Bolden (Are We There Yet?), Aaron Grady (Everybody Hates Chris), and Teresa Celeste (Tales, Wild N’ Out) will lead the cast of the new comedy series centered on the lives of four 20- something roommates and their neighbor across the hall as they navigate the chaos of being young, finding success, and finding themselves in the city of angels. Created
by Rugg Williams and Oren Williams with Bentley Kyle Evans serving as co-director, Millennials will kick off production this week. The series is currently slated to premiere in early 2021. Massey will play the role of Omar, a business student with dreams of taking over the corporate world; Harris will play Jaheem, a personal trainer who’s attractive clientele doubles as his pool of dating conquests; Bolden will play Travis, an insecure YouTuber who thrives off of public attention; Grady will play Todd, a college dropout who struggles with his sense of responsibility and remaining gainfully employed; and Celeste
will play Mercedes, an aspiring actress from Atlanta who often serves as the only voice of reason for guys. Rounding out the cast are Tanjareen Thomas (Famous in Love), comedian Buddy Lewis (Big Stan, Black Dynamite), Katherine Florence (social media inf luencer @katief lorence), and actor DeShaude Barner. Upon announcing the new series, Nikki Love, UMC’s VP of Development & Production stated, “UMC is continuously dedicated to delivering fresh and diverse storytelling that resonates and resembles the audience we serve.

WITNESS FOR JUSTICE #1015
By the People Sandy Sorensen Director, DC Office In his eulogy for the late Congressman John Lewis, former President Barack Obama remarked “Democracy is not automatic. It needs to be tended. You need to work at it.” It was an especially important reminder that in these challenging times for the democratic process, with so much uncertainty and so much in doubt, that now more than ever, we need to keep working at it. And we need to vote. It matters that we vote and that we protect the right of others to vote. That is not the starry-eyed idealist in me talking. It is the part of me that knows that no single thing we do brings about change, and that’s not a reason not to do it. It is the part of me that knows that we need to show up, whenever we can, in all the ways that we can. Because if we don’t show up, other interests will fill the void. In an essay posted online several years ago titled “The Ballot or the Bullet,” author and columnist William Rivers Pitt offered an important insight regarding the decline of voter participation and citizen engagement in the United States. He wrote, “Henry David Thoreau argued for nonparticipation in a broken system, but a system that has been broken by non-participation requires a different remedy. If we are to thrive, the democratic process requires the voices of all to form a robust, innovative public square of ideas, policy approaches, critiques, vision of the common good.
Yes, challenges to voting abound in 2020. There are critical, longterm democracy reform efforts that continue to face significant obstacles. Voter suppression and disenfranchisement have been present since the founding of the nation, and we will need to continue confront voter suppression in new forms in this election cycle. This year the COVID-19 pandemic presents even more challenges to the voting process. Still, our participation in the electoral process is more important than ever. It may require us to work a little harder, to act with more intention, to map our plan to vote and even have a plan B. Even in the midst of these challenges we can build an empowered electorate like never before if we vote and tend to the work of protecting and expanding voting access in the years to come. A lot about the upcoming 2020 elections will be different. The volume of mail-in voting this year will be higher than ever before. In-person voting will require extra safety preparations. We will need patience and a commitment to the peaceful transfer of power to ensure that all votes are counted. It will likely take time before we know the results. As President Obama reminded us, “Democracy is not automatic. We need to work at it.” Here is a place to start: Check your voter registration

self-discovery it takes to become a mature man in today’s society. As we work to elevate and expand our original series, we’re thrilled to add Millennials to our lineup.” Creators Rugg Williams and Oren Williams added, "Collaborating with UMC on our new series has been a thrill and we’re fortunate to work with a platform that allows African American content creators young and old to have their stories told. In a world where emotions are high, and tensions are at an ultimate boiling point, it’s awesome to be in a position to inject some laughter and positivity into viewers’ lives.” Follow Millen nials on Instagram at @MillennialsUMC
Make a plan to vote, whether it is by submitting a mail-in ballot, voting early or voting in person on Election Day. Seek out good information from credible sources. Sign up to be a poll worker and recruit others to be poll workers. Pledge to be in touch with 3 other voters, to encourage them in the voting process, especially new voters.

“Do Not Be Deceived…. The ONLY Vaccine That Will Cure the Pandemic and Any Other Disaster That Is Happening In The World Today is Repentance and Turning Back to God!” By: Lou Yeboah
Lou Yeboah
He is the ONLY One that has the cure for anything that we encounter. What man puts a period on, God puts a comma in those places because it's not over until He says it's over. So despite what we think, feel or believe, we need to remind ourselves that God is in control. When everything around us feels out of control, we can allow Scripture to prove to us that God has been, is, and will be sovereign over our lives and world. Nothing in nature happens outside of God’s providence. In Exodus, God clearly sent the plagues in Egypt. In Genesis, God sent the flood. When we read about Jonah, we see that God hurled a storm into the sea.
Understand that there is one God in heaven Who is King and Lord of all. There is one God in heaven to Whom EVERY entity in this universe is subject. The pandemic serves as a warning to us, a warning against disobedience, a warning against exerting our will against God’s, and a warning that assures us sin has consequences. God is trying to get our attention; He wants to heal our land, but we must turn to Him with all our heart and soul. For He says in [2 Chronicles 7:13-14]: If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; What can mere man do about it? Nothing! Nothing at all! Absolutely Nothing! Listen, disasters come upon nations for a reason. The Bible talks about famine, sword, and plagues [pestilences] as instruments of judgment upon a people. [Jeremiah 14:12]. God continued in next 2 columns

“Do Not Be Deceived…. The ONLY Vaccine That Will Cure the Pandemic and Any Other Disaster That Is Happening In The World Today is Repentance and Turning Back to God!”...continued uses disasters to discipline nations. Those who have a secular mind set might not believe such could happen in our modern and sophisticated society. Yet, the Bible is not governed by the beliefs of modern society. The Bible definitely teaches that God does and has used disasters to discipline and judge nations. [2Chronicles 6:26-27]. The Bible is clear that God punishes nations that fall into sin and refuse to repent. He has done it before and He is doing it now whether you believe it or not! What then is a Biblical response to disaster? “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” The emphasis is national and is directed to a nation not a people within a nation. Lot and his family acknowledged God but that did not save Sodom. God destroyed Sodom because of its sin despite the fact that Lot who lived there was righteous. Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah and that nation was spared. The whole nation repented as a people collectively from the top down. That is a true national repentance. National repentance, prayer, and reformation are required…. We as a nation the “United States of America,” need to repent of our national sins and to turn as a nation back to the God we have revolted from. Then an only then will we will see a national healing of our land when there is a national repentance of the people of our land. We have failed to respond to disaster properly. We have done many things to respond to our national disasters such as giving aide to the needy and providing
help to those who have suffered. All of this is to be commended. However, the great failure on the part of this nation, the “United States of America,” is that we have not acknowledged God in all of our disasters, we have not owned up to our sinfulness as a people, and we certainly have not repented of our sins. Because of our national failure to do these things, the disasters have continued to come year after year and they will continue to come in the future and may increase in number and degree. So if we are going to call on God to heal our land, to heal our nation, and to heal our human community, it is vital that we are also forthright in changing our wicked ways. Until we as a people own up to our national sins, and until we as a people repent of those sins, we can expect national disasters to continue. Besides, no nation that divorces itself from God can expect to survive as a nation. We cannot secularize the nation and expect God to bless us. The distress we are experiencing in our nation today can be addressed. It can be reversed. Our only hope is in repentance. We must individually and corporately as a people of God bow before our Maker and repent. [2 Chronicles 7:14]. “Yet even now,’ declares the LORD, ‘return to me with all your heart, with fasting… weeping, and…mourning; and rend your hearts….’ Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster” [Joel 2:12-27]. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. [John 16:4]
