After Rapper Launches Anti-Mask, AntiVaccine Rant, Black Doctors Speak Out NNPA NEWSWIRE — Even after over 635,000 have died in the U.S. as a result of the coronavirus, some celebrities have continued to loudly protest against the advice of doctors and other medical professionals. Over 4.5 million around the world have died as a result of the pandemic. By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor In a culture that worships celebrities and amplif ies their words and actions, the coronavirus pandemic has presented an opportunity for some to apply and others to confuse. Even after over 635,000 have died in the U.S. as a result of the coronavirus, some celebrities have continued to loudly protest against the advice of doctors and other medical professionals. Over 4.5 million around the world have died as a result of the pandemic. This week, anti-mask and antivaxxer celebrity Eric Clapton wrote a song entitled “This Has Got to Stop” to express his dissatisfaction regarding gover nment mandates on masks. “I’m used to being free,” Clapton sings in his new track. A week before Clapton’s song dropped, rapper Busta Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor Smith, had something to say on COVID on August 24. “It’s called the God-given right of freedom, right? No human being is supposed to tell you that you can’t even breathe freely. F*** your mask… some of y’all might feel differently,
but f*** your mask,” he said. His comments went viral and so did the reaction against them. On Roland Martin Unfiltered, the daily digital broadcast hosted by Martin, three Black doctors were featured to comment on what the rapper said and anti-vaxxer efforts in general. “A throat doctor later discovered
that there were polyps in his throat, restricting 90% of his breathing and he had to have emergency surgery.” <—You’d think Busta Rhymes would be more concerned about a virus that attacks your respiratory system given his history. Dumb ass,” wrote Reecie Colbert from her popular Twitter account @BlackWomenViews.
“Confirmed: Busta Rhymes is better when he’s rapping too fast for us to really understand what he’s saying,” wrote Brandon Kyle Scott on twitter. Then came the medical professionals. “It angers me, and it vexes my soul when I hear entertainers and other people who have mass followings say ignorant things such

as Busta Rhymes. I was telling my students today about wearing a mask and getting vaccinated,” said Dr. Kristy McDowell on Roland Martin Unfiltered on August 24. “If you don’t get the vaccine you are gambling with your life,” she added. Dr. Joseph Graves, Jr. said, “It’s one thing to do stupid things that
put your own life at risk… It’s an entirely other thing when you take a public platform, and you use your celebrity to get up there to tell other people that it’s OK in the middle of the deadliest pandemic since 1918. Those people who die because they listened to a video.” Kellen Squire, a Virginia emergency room nurse, wrote on August 29, “It’s not any easier watching unvaccinated people die. I see people sardonically joke, play stupid games, etc. But they almost all understand the magnitude of their f***up… albeit way too late. The look in their eyes. There’s no peace — it’s just panic until the end.” Despite misinformation, political discord and political policy changes, 51 percent of the American population is vaccinated.

A few weeks ago, a coalition of Los Angeles leaders from different backgrounds released a report with a detailed blueprint for what racial equity should look like for African Americans. Although the document is focused on California’s largest city, it is packed with strategies and learnings on racial and economic justice, researchers say, that can be applied to other cities around their state and across the United States. Called the “No Going Back
LA report” and titled The Road to Racial Justice Runs Through Equity: Ending Anti-Black Racism in Los Angeles, the Committee for Greater LA’s (CGLA) Black Experience Action Team says the report is a direct call to action. It is a template, they say, from which the city’s legislators as well as business, philanthropy and community leaders can collaborate on an action plan focused on issues that can improve the lives of Black Angelenos.
“Intersectionality and the need for quality data across issues are two essential pieces of our analysis and vision in this report,” said Dr. Ange-Marie Hancock Alfaro, Dean’s Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Southern California. “The report proposes citywide policies that can have an impact on multiple issues facing our communities,” Alfaro continued. “We believe designing systems around the priorities of Black folks will create more equitable systems for all.” Topics covered in the report work to answer the key question: what does a Los Angeles free of anti-Black racism look like? Community leaders deliberated on this question over the span of eight months to determine how Black equity can create the anti-racist, progressive society that they envisioned.
The report determines that Black equity is based on the following principles: truth, strength, strategic disruption, and love. Alfaro explained that it is important to tell the truth, as difficult as this truth may be. In addition, she focused on the idea that all members of the community will need to come together to make the changes outlined in the report. By paying attention to what has worked in the past, what is working now, and what innovations lie ahead, the committee seeks to spotlight best practices for implementation of their roadmap over the next 25 years. Recently, the CGLA held a media briefing where key leaders discussed the intentions, findings, and goals of the report. Alfaro, who worked as the academic lead on the report, began by reviewing the report in detail. continued on page 4

U.S. Supreme Court Sounds Ready to Pay Student Athletes NNPA NEWSWIRE — The business of college sports, which includes millions in television contracts and sponsorships, resulting in a world of lucrative payouts for everyone other than the players, may have met its match at the U.S. Supreme Court.
The argument over whether “student athletes” should be paid has gone on for decades with the NCAA arguing that pay would mean the end of the “student” athlete. (Photo: iStockphoto / NNPA) athletes and colleges pay millions in salaries to coaches, college athletes remain unpaid. Under the NCAA’s rules, paid athletes become ineligible to play sports. The main plaintiff in the case is Shawne Alston, a former West Virginia University running back, who says he and other athletes were exploited. The business of college sports, which includes millions in television contracts and sponsorships, resulting in a world of lucrative payouts for everyone other than the players, may have met its match at the U.S. Supreme Court.

U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh called the NCAA’s practices “disturbing.” “The antitrust laws should not be a cover for exploitation of the student-athletes. To pay no salaries to the workers who are making the schools billions of dollars on the theory that consumers want the schools to pay their workers nothing,” he said, seems “entirely circular and even somewhat disturbing,” Kavanaugh said. On March 30 the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case of NCAA v. Alston, which is a class action case, first filed in 2014. The NCAA is an organization with over 1,000 member colleges and universities. As millions are made from the talent ion college

in California gave athletes a victory. It ruled that the NCAA could not limit income to athletes. “It just strikes me as odd that the coaches’ salaries have ballooned,” said Associate Justice Clarence Thomas. “They’re in the amateur ranks, as are the players,” Thomas added. “Why does the NCAA get to define what ‘pay’ is?” asked Justice Amy Coney Barrett. “Antitrust laws should not be a cover for exploitation of the studentathletes, so that is a concern, an overarching concern here,” added Associated Justice Kavanaugh. Judge Sam Alito went even further. Alito said athletes, “face training requirements that leave little time or energy for study,
constant pressure to put sports above study, pressure to drop out of hard majors and hard classes, really shockingly low graduation rates. Only a tiny percentage ever go on to make any money in professional sports.” “So, the argument is they are recruited, they’re used up, and then they’re cast aside without even a college degree. How can this be defended in the name of amateurism?” Alito added. If the questions and comments from members of the Court were a guide change could be coming soon. The argument over whether “student athletes” should be paid has gone on for decades with the NCAA arguing that pay would mean the end of the “student” athlete. But with the level of revenue that colleges and universities make from athlete performance it is becoming increasingly difficult to argue that arrangement is nothing more than big business that benefits from revenue from a never-ending unpaid workforce.

HIGHLAND, CA (August 30, 2021) – For the 22nd year, San Manuel Casino, in partnership with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians welcomed vendors, sponsorship partners, and team members to what has grown into a 3-day golf tournament in Orange County. After cancelling the annual event in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, more than 750 golfers were thrilled to partake in this annual event that benefitted seven nonprofit organizations from the Inland Empire, as well as Native American organizations in both Arizona and New Mexico. This year, San Manuel’s Strategic Philanthropy team and Tribal leadership selected seven deserving organizations with each organization receiving $50,000. The nonprofits selected represent education, healthcare, economic and community development and the preservation of cultural traditions in Indian country. The 2021 golf tournament charity recipients included Million Kids; Hopi Education Endowment Fund; Cruz Chacon Foundation; Mountain Meals on Wheels; Foothill Family Shelter; BLU
Educational Foundation, and the Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation. “Thanks to generous support of our tournament participants, we are again funding Native American non-profits with national reach, as well as groups focused on regional needs,” said San Manuel Tribal Secretary and Golf Committee Chair Audrey Martinez. “Together, we have raised more than $2 Million to benefit 45 nonprofits over these last two decades through the San Manuel Golf Tournament.” This event is made possible by the generosity of its participants, but especially the contributions of title sponsors Imagine This, Penta Construction and the Las Vegas Raiders. In addition to the Las Vegas Raiders, San Manuel also welcomed their sports partners from the LA Galaxy, LA Kings, Anaheim Ducks, LAFC and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Visit the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians website for more information about philanthropy or visit San Manuel Cares to learn how the Tribe creates change in communities through charitable giving.

Improve Your Tomorrow, California Volunteers and School Board Trustee at press conference announcing historic investment. SACRAMENTO, CA – Today, (8/31/21)California Volunteers, Office of the Governor announced a historic $1.6 million in state funds has been awarded to Improve Your Tomorrow (IYT) to support their mission of increasing the number of young men of color attending and graduating college. This investment was made possible through new funding made available by Governor Newsom’s unprecedented i nve st me nt i n s e r v ic e. “During times of great need, service has proven to be the answer to solve some of our state’s most pressing problems. As part of my Comeback Plan, we are funding service opportunities that uplift educational and economic opportunities for all Californians,” said Governor Gavin Newsom. “Today, we are continuing to build equity and opportunity for California’s young men of color by bringing people together through service.”
With the $1.6 million investment, IYT will work alongside school districts and universities to expand program offerings to 26 additional school sites in Stockton, Modesto, Sacramento, and Humboldt County for the fall of 2021. Extending services across these communities will allow IYT to serve and uplift 3,000 young men of color. This funding will create over 90 new AmeriCorps positions, which will be a total of 167 AmeriCorps year of service opportunities for college students to provide mentoring, tutoring, and youth development services in their community. AmeriCorps members serving through IYT receive a living stipend and scholarship up to $10,000. “Innovative organizations like IYT are using service as a strategy to improve educational outcomes in some of our most underserved areas,” said Chief Service Officer Josh Fryday. “Expanding the continued in next 2 columns
SACRAMENTO – At the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as Hurricane Ida makes landfall in Louisiana, Governor Gavin Newsom today approved the deployment of urban search and rescue (US&R) specialized personnel to the region to assist in life-saving disaster response. California maintains robust search and rescue resources within the state and the deployment does not draw from resources in use to combat wildfires. “As we manage the ongoing e me rge ncy r e s p on se t o wildfires and support impacted communities, California is carefully assessing and balancing resources to answer the call to aid our fellow Americans in a time of great need, as we have so often received support ourselves in recent years,” said Governor Newsom. Part of the National US&R Response System, administered in California by the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the Oakland-based California/FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force-4 will join with US&R Incident Support Specialists to assist with search
and rescue operations for Hurricane Ida, which is currently a strong Category 4 hurricane. The California/FEMA US&R Task Force being deployed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana today is based in the Oakland Fire Department, with participation from several surrounding fire agencies. The “Type 3” task force being deployed includes 35 members and 10 ground support personnel. These personnel are trained and equipped to provide water rescues and technical and canine search, rescue, medical and other specialized capabilities at the disaster. In total, FEMA has requested and deployed 15 Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces from other states to the Gulf Coast through the National Urban Search and Rescue Response System. Governor Newsom and Cal OES have also approved deployment of several Californiabased US&R Incident Support Team members to help coordinate search and rescue operations across the Gulf Coast hurricane impact zone.

Aguilar to Launch Community Project Funding Tour First Stop at San Bernardino International Airport State/Government/Business News San Bernardino, CA— On Wednesday, September 1st, Rep. Aguilar will kick off a tour to highlight federal funding needs for key community projects in the Inland Empire. The tour stops will feature projects for which Rep. Aguilar secured financial support in the House-passed fiscal year 2022 government funding bills. Aguilar is launching the tour to highlight the urgent need for the Senate to approve the funding to create good-paying jobs, expand access to affordable health care and housing, and support Inland Empire children and veterans. The tour’s first stop will be the San Bernardino International Airport. The House funding bills included $1,000,000 for the airport’s Runway Improvement Project. “I’m working to secure funding for these projects because the Inland Empire deserves real
federal investments. These types of investments create good-paying jobs, revitalize our infrastructure and help ensure families from our region have a chance to succeed. The San Bernardino International Airport is a potential engine for major economic growth in our region, and I’m proud to have advocated for funding that can help realize that potential,” said Aguilar. Of the ten projects submitted by Aguilar, seven were included for funding when the House passed H.R. 4502 on July 29, 2021. Funding for these projects will become available when the bill is signed into law. The bill is currently pending action in the Senate. Reporters interested in attending this or any other stop on the Community Projects tour should contact parker. dor rough@mail.house.gov.

Member of 90’s R&B Hit Group, Troop, Passes Away at 52 Lifestyle/Entertainment News
Reggie Warren -Instagram “Spread my wings and fly away…to a place that I long for…” Those are just a few of the lyrics from the number 1 ’90s hit song, “Spread My Wings” from the R&B group Troop. One of the group’s original members who sang that song, Reggie Warren, has died, TMZ has reported. He was 52. A rep for the group told TMZ that Reggie passed away Sunday at his home in Pasadena, surrounded by family. We’re
told he’s been dealing with health issues for a while now, and was even hospitalized for a couple months back in January. The rep said Reggie was released from the hospital Saturday with the anticipation he would die. Although initial reports are saying that his death is not COVID related, the family respectfully does not want to discuss an official cause until an autopsy can be performed. On the official Instagram
LA Leaders Draft Blueprint Showing What Equity Should Look Like for Black People...continued from page 1 Although she led on a deep dive of the report, Alfaro explained that the information included in the study is the product of the group’s 37-member Black Experience Action Team, a 14-member academic council, 10 community members with lived experiences, and several different focus groups. The celebration and recognition of all contributors reflected the objectives of the report itself. “It was critical to us that this effort delve deeply into many of our community’s aspirations and needs. It was particularly important to ensure we attended to the vast diversity in our community,” said April Verrett, President of Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Local 2015, and chair of the Black Experience Action Team (BEAT). “Across the seven major issues we cover, you will see specific ideas that address the needs of our LGBTQIA and gender-non-conforming family members, our immigrant family members, and our family members with intellectual and physical disabilities.” The report takes into account that one does not exist without influence of others. It reviews seven dimensions of experience through an intersectional lens. The committee outlines a comprehensive roadmap and recommendations for each of the following areas: Economics and Poverty Relief, Housing and Homelessness, Education & Youth Development, Mass Incarceration & Police Violence, Physical Health & Mental Wellbeing, Environmentally Safe & Healthy Neighborhoods, and Advocacy & Political Power. One of the key factors that differentiates this action plan from others, CGLA leaders say, is the focus on making the change accountable and working to ensure that the changes outlined meet the intentions of the report findings. Alfaro highlighted the Communal Accountability Metrics which reflect the standards community members believe are valuable to track each issue to rate efforts intended to eradicate
anti-Black racism in Los Angeles. Researchers say one question that guided the research process was: What do we want today’s Black 5-year-old to experience when they’re 15? When they are 30? In addition to Communal Accountability Metrics, the report includes visions within each of the seven dimensions. Those visions paint a picture of what culturally competent assistance and equitable social services look like. It also describes resources that can ensure pandemic learning loss has been addressed. By envisioning a multitude of goals for young Black people, the committee considers creating a LA free of anti-Black racism for themselves, their community, and the future of their city. Derek Steele, the Interim Executive Director, Social Justice Learning Institute, spoke following Hancock. He mentioned that the report is intentioned to serve as a mirror for the city of LA on areas that need improvement. Putting things in perspective Steele stated that we are in a “unique moment” in time that we are in across LA county, the state of California, the country, and even the world where racial equity is on the hearts and minds of so many across all classes and all sectors. “So many of us are beginning to take a stand on how to improve the conditions of those most impacted in our community. It’s time to be bold. It’s time to be transformative. And that is why this report is so crucial,” said Steele. The committee for greater LA illustrated their passion for their city through the curation of a comprehensive plan for change. This call to action reflects the community that it serves as well as hope for the future. By centering Black equity, leaders provide a new way to understand justice and inclusion. As April Verrett described in closing, this report was a labor of love for the members of No Going Back LA coalition. “This community has set a progressive and thorough example for the rest of California to emulate and implement,” she said.
account for the popular group, they shared a montage tribute honoring the late hitmaker. TROOP captioned the post, “Rest Well Reggie. Our brother has transitioned 🌹🌹🥵🥵🥺.” Reggie started out with TROOP, which stands for Total Respect Of Other People, when it first formed in the ’80s, alongside childhood friends Rodney Benford, John Harreld, Steve Russell and Allen McNeil. Russell paid tribute to his longtime collaborator in an IG post on Sunday, writing … “Job well done my brother I will see you on the other side🌹🌹😓😥😓😥😓RIP Reggie Warren. #DamnReggie.” The group of five signed to Atlantic Records and released their debut album in ’88, which saw a hit in their lead single ‘Mamacita.’ They’re more well-known for their 2nd album, ‘Attitude,’ though, which spawned two #1s in songs like “All I Do is Think of You” and “Spread My Wings.” Fan-favorite “Spread My
Wings” was released going into 1990 and the smash hit earned TROOP the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Souls Singles chart. Their songs and the group’s vocal ability had an effect on a number of today’s artists. Producer Hit-Boy, who took home a 2021 Grammy for Best Rap Album for producing Nas’ King’s Disease, dedicated his Grammy win to Warren. In a post, he shared on Instagram, Hit Boy wrote, “Bittersweet moment for me. I’m dedicating this year’s Grammy for best rap album to Reggie Warren from the legendary R&B group troop who sadly passed away today. I love my brothers Nas and Big Sean. We got more work to do 🏆 KINGS [sic] DISEASE!!!” Although they released their final album in 1998 with Mayday, Troop remained friendly, occasionally performing together and making appearances. Rest in peace Reggie.

“All of a Sudden!”...continued lightly. If you believe the Bible to be true, then what Paul wrote will come to pass. Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. “Likewise, as it was also in the days of Lot: [Luke 17:2630]. Suddenly, it will be at the door. An awful and terrifying experience of a fury and power that knows no mercy - A fury and power that gives no warning, offers no second chances and is without escape! [Matthew 24:2122; Luke 21:34-35; Isaiah 30:13]. But the great majority of people in this world have no clue, no concept of the devastating destruction that will soon be affecting this entire earth, what God calls the “Day of the Lord.” Listen, God has given us many examples in the Bible to warn us that He does not excuse, tolerate, or put up with sin. He punishes those who reject Him, hate Him, or ignore Him, whether it’s individuals, families, cities, countries, or the whole world. [Psalms 98:9]. The only difference from the old is that this time it will not be a flood, but fire. I tell you, in the not-too-distant future, all people living on earth will see the skies suddenly become dark – this is the sign of the end of this age, the sign right before the day of the Lord. [Acts 2:20]. Then the first trumpet will blast, signaling that God’s wrath has begun on earth. [Revelation 8:1-7]. “The day of the Lord is
near…” [Zephaniah 1.7, 14]. “ Woe, Woe, Woe to those who dwell on the earth.” [Revelation 8:13]. I tell you, the time when you can be saved is almost gone! The voice of mercy is growing weaker and weaker, while the voice of judgment is growing louder and louder. Don’t wait until its too late! “Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' "But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.” [Luke 13:25]. Times of intensity are on the way. Do not wait! Do not postpone the matter any longer! “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near” [Isaiah 55:6]. You have waited and lingered still refusing the Savior, all His warnings so patient, all His pleadings so kind; Thus, you ate fruit forbidden, you believed Satan’s promise; Thus, your heart has been hardened, sin has darkened your mind. Then how sad facing judgment, you’ll recall with no mercy that you tarried and lingered till the Spirit was gone; What reproaches and mourning, if when death finds you hopeless. You have tarried and lingered and have waited too long. “[If You Linger Too Long” by Dr. John R. Rice, 1895-1980]. Oh, how will they scoff and laugh at this message?

Another way to say thanks Lifestyle News The struggling employees of an eatery in Gainesville, FL that was hard hit by the coronavirus epidemic got a lift recently when a patron paid his $144.66 dinner tab, adding a $10,000 tip, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. W hen the unnamed philanthropist, his wife and son finished their meals he asked the owner of the Wahoo Seafood Grill if he would gather his staff so he could have a word with them. The diner thanked the
restaurant’s ten employees, informing them of the big tip each of them had earned -- $1,000 each. Shawn Shepherd, who owns the Wahoo Grill, took to Instagram to express his thanks, writing: "I'm not usually an emotional guy, but this really got me. I'm blown away. We're ALL blown away by his generosity. The last year and a half hasn't been easy on this industry. We're hurting and we're exhausted, but this incredible act of kindness has restored our faith in humanity."
“All of a Sudden!” By: Lou Yeboah
Lou Yeboah Unexpectedly, without warning, without notice, sudden destruction comes. [I Thessalonians 5:3]. I hear the prophets crying out, “She was plucked up in fury, she
was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.” [Ezekiel 19:12]. “Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of the furnace; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my fury upon you.” [Ezekiel 22:20-22].

Hel lo, my n a m e i s Desperate, and I’m dialing from the depths of despair! “Through God’s lovingkindness, God has given us this job to do. So, we do not give up. We have put away all things that are done in secret and in shame. We do not play with the Word of God or use it in a false way. Because we are telling the truth, we want your hearts to listen to us. God knows our desires.” – 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 (adapted) Though appreciating Paul’s words to the Corinthians, I still find myself asking the question of what to do you when you’re depressed, and you get down on your knees to pray, only to get up still depressed. What do I do when I’m constantly pressed on every side, persecuted, knocked down, perplexed, and in the depths of despair? Over the past year during staff check-ins with my Health & Wholeness Advocacy family of the UCC National Setting, I have watched those I care about face the challenges of life while dialing from the depths of despair. To help shoulder the pain we’ve offered words of comfort, joined each other in tears, prayed prayers of hopes, and shared messages offering our love and support to one another. Yet, with all the love and support we still found ourselves in the midst of, coming through or out of the storm only to face yet another. In searching for answers, the Spirit directed me to look at the spider for a practical demonstration of hope through the vicissitudes of life. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica and have become established in nearly every habitat. The spider – much like
our challenges – is no respecter of persons nor place. It sets up camp wherever and whenever it wants. When its web is being swatted, demolished, or even knocked for a loop, the spider in free fall will continue to produce silk while in the depths of despair. The spider knows that, if it can stay connected, there’s hope for a rebuild. Isaiah testified: “Thus says the Lord, ‘I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.’” (Isaiah 43:19, adapted) Every morning, God’s river of mercies flows fresh into us. And just like that my answer became clearer: I am to follow the example of the spider. Like the spider, I need to stay connected and continue to produce the substance that connects me to the Source and Giver of life. So, what’s the substance? The substance is my faith, and my faith is my evidence of those things that I’m hoping for. Before the foundations of the earth God created me and knew everything that I would face even before I would experience them and has predicted a way of escape or time of delivery. God never called me to a place that hasn’t been visited by God. Life happens, situations come, our bodies wear out. If I continue to press toward God, my spirit will grow in strength. “‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord.” (Zechariah 4:6, excerpted) Hold on Sarah, Amy, Rhina, Erica, Andrea and Mike. Hold on, my UCC family, the things we face today are getting us ready for the great things God is going to give us in the forever.

Outreach Worker For ‘Unhoused’ Just Got Her Shot-Fear Of Delta Variant Chips Away At Vaccine Hesitancy In California’s Rural North By Peter Schurmann, Ethnic Media Services CRESCENT CITY, Ca. – The last time Daphne CorteseLambert saw a doctor was when her daughter was born 27 years ago. The Executive Director of Mission Possible, which provides services to unhoused people in this remote part of California, Cortese-Lambert says she’s long relied on natural remedies to maintain her health. That changed in early August when the Delta variant of COVID-19 arrived in this region, some 300 miles north of San Francisco, where the number of cases and deaths is climbing even as vaccination rates remain among the lowest in the state. “As I’ve seen this pandemic come through, I see that I need to be a leader,” said CorteseLambert, standing outside the 52bed women’s shelter she operates in Crescent City. “I don’t want to be a part of the problem because of my own personal beliefs; I want to be part of the solution.” Sandwiched between sprawling redwood forests and the northern California coast, Del Norte and neighboring Humboldt counties were relatively unscathed during the first year of the pandemic. Case rates were low with deaths linked to the virus in the single digits. The region’s geographic isolation led many here to feel insulated from the worst impacts of the pandemic, adding to the general distrust around public messaging regarding vaccines and mask wearing. Then the numbers began to spike, with over 500 new cases reported just in the past two weeks in Del Norte, according to official statistics. The number of fatalities doubled from just 7 during the pandemic’s first year to 15 to date. Vaccination rates have started to climb as a result, going from a low of approximately 20% to 42% cu r rently. Seeing the effects of the
Daphne Cortese-Lambert of Crescent City, California receives the first dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine. The director of Mission Possible, which serves the area’s unhoused population, says the recent uptick on infections spurred her decision to get vaccinated. pandemic firsthand on friends and loved ones has begun to chip away at the fear and skepticism that prevented residents like Cortese-Lambert from getting vaccinated, though there is still an uphill battle when it comes to convincing others. Gesturing toward the forests, she described a near “total lack of concern about the pandemic” among the population she works with, many of them unhoused veterans entrenched in encampments tucked deep in the woods. “They think it’s something the government made up, and that it isn’t going to touch them. But the reality is that it has been touching them.” Amber Gensaw is a member of the Yurok tribe. She and her partner, Dustin, contracted Covid in July. While she was vaccinated and experienced mild symptoms, he was unvaccinated and struggled to recover. The experience moved him to get the vaccine. The latest Point in Time count puts the unhoused population of Del Norte at 250, but CorteseLambert says the figures are likely closer to between 500-600, as many refused to leave their encampments to participate in the official count. “I miss my older friends,”
says one man standing in line at a vaccination drive in the town of McKinleyville, about an hour south of Crescent City in Humboldt County. “At this stage, I don’t think I’m going to get sick, but I could be a carrier and I don’t want to give it to anyone else… that is one of the big points for me to get the shot.” When it comes to others on the street getting vaccinated, he says most people “don’t want it, and won’t get it.” According to Cor teseLambert, trust and relationships are key to reaching this and other communities in a region that like the rest of the state is growing more diverse. Much of Humboldt and Del Norte counties sit on Native American tribal lands, including the Yurok, Hoopa, Wiyot and Karuk tribes. Alongside these indigenous communities are a sizable Latinx population, which includes a seasonal influx of migrant farmworkers, as well as a small but deeply rooted Hmong population, many of them refugees from the Vietnam era. That diversity exists within a staunchly conservative and libertarian political culture, making Del Norte one of the continued on page 7

EDITORIAL National Alliance on Mental Illness Contra Costa (NAMI CC) has provided critical non-clinical supports to individuals and their families since its establishment over 30 years ago. However in the last seven months the work has been more intense as the agency became a subcontractor for the FEMA-funded CalHOPE Project administered by the California Department of Health Care Services and the California Mental Health Services Authority. NAMI CC is on board to provide culturally specific resources and emotional support to African A mer icans exper iencing challenges due to COVID-19. Through this effort to meet the critical needs of this often under-resourced but high-risk population, 16 part-time African American Crisis Counselors and three Administrators with diverse living experiences and a deep commitment to their community are readily available to respond to calls and chats. The challenges that African Americans have faced during this pandemic have been multifaceted and exacerbated by the social unrest due to senseless killings of unarmed black people at the hands of those in place to protect and serve. Executive Director Gigi R. Crowder has over the last 20 years demonstrated her passion for improving mental health outcomes for African Americans

She and the team have focused the bulk of their attention on outreach and offering lifesaving resources, prayer, and encouragement to equip the African American community across the state with the knowledge they need to make
informed decisions. We share accurate information about the importance of COVID-19 testing, getting vaccinated, taking advantage of resources and rejecting foolish misinformation. Through already established relationships, the NAMI CC CCP Project partnered with key

African American faith leaders, influencers and other cultural brokers from across California and hosted educational trainings to replace inaccurate information with truths about the pandemic and how African Americans in California should protect themselves. Our goal was to positively influence as much as possible the devastating impact of COVID, considering the history of this country, on this under-resourced and toooften neglected population. Gigi Crowder and her team of highly skilled and committed staff host tables at vaccination clinics. They work with county staff public health leaders to overcome vaccination hesitation without judgment by hosting town hall sessions. The primary daily focus is playing an essential role in assisting individuals from their community to take advantage of local and staff incentives, and resources such as rental and housing assistance, funeral service expenses reimbursements, childcare and other financial incentives. The African American CCP Program is working hard to lift up the word “hope” while adding a few others such as “faith”, “promise”, “trust” and “resilience” to ensure African Americans get through this with an improved sense of belonging.
reddest parts of California. A Trump 2024 banner hangs alongside Highway 101 as visitors enter Crescent City. Houawa Moua is president of the Hmong council in Crescent City and a conduit of information for the community, many of whom speak limited English. A father of two, Moua himself is not vaccinated, saying he wants to “wait and see what happens” before deciding, a position he has maintained even with full FDA approval of the Pfizer shot. A vaccination fair in McKinleyville, about 10 miles north of Eureka, drew members of the unhoused community, including this gentleman, who said the pandemic has increased the sense of isolation. But he acknowledges the vaccines have helped safeguard elders and allowed families to get back together, “important to keeping Hmong traditions going among younger generations.” The importance of protecting elders and continuing tradition – both threatened by covid – is echoed in tribal communities here, many of which sealed themselves off when the pandemic first hit in 2020. Amber Gensaw, a Yurok Tribal member, recalls it felt like the “first step to the world ending.” Like others in her community, she says the elders are repositories of tribal custom and memory and that it’s critical to ensure their safety. “The elders are the roots,” she says, drawing on trees as a metaphor for the tribe, “while adults are the
trunk, and youth are the fruit.” A diabetic and a new mother, Gensaw got vaccinated in March of this year, soon after vaccines were made available. Her partner, Dustin, did not. When the pair caught Covid in July, she weathered the illness with only minor symptoms. He ended up in bed for six days, struggling to breathe. That experience is what convinced him to get the jab. Still, the pair say they have friends and family – including Gensaw’s father – who are refusing to get vaccinated, with reasons running the gamut from fear of needles, to distrust of the science, to plain indifference. Countering that reticence, they add, requires patience, persistence, and personal connection. It’s late afternoon when CorteseLambert turns up at the Sutter Coast Hospital’s vaccination clinic for her shot. Joined by her daughter and a volunteer with Mission Possible the trio sits nervously waiting their turn. Mission Possible just received state funding to set up a mobile unit for the unhoused in the area, including $25 cash incentives for people who agree to sit and listen to information on the pandemic and vaccines. Additional incentives will be offered for those who agree to get the shot. “I think it’s really important for me to make this stand,” says Cortese-Lambert after receiving her first dose of the vaccine. “I have done a lot of soul searching and I am feeling very positive about taking this step forward.”
