I am so honored to share that my @ucbsoj audio thesis, which I’ve been working on for the last year, is on @nprcodeswitch. It’s about a missing chapter of Japanese American history and the stories lost when one narrative comes to define an entire identity.

Here's that 🔥 @latimes piece from last July ICYMI:

"The CA gov't should provide reparations for its history of unjust policies toward African Americans — not because anyone alive today is personally to blame, but because it’s our political responsibility as democratic citizens."

-@Sacstate's Mark Brown

He references a @Erika_D_Smith piece (see below 👇👀) — which quotes Atty G. Fatheree:

“If the government does something wrong and they acknowledge that and then don’t do anything about it,” he said, “people lose faith in government — our elected officials and our institutions.”

Emotions are running high during public comment from the phone lines. The meetings is back on track now, but paused momentarily because of verbal dispute between two members of audience. Other members of the audience and Chair Moore jumped in to deescalate.

@alan_chazaro @oaklandrootssc has a proposal that might help fill the job gap created by the A's departure...they are hoping to build a soccer stadium near the Coliseum. 👀

In response to the rally, @ACSOSheriffs said in a statement that they too are frustrated by the continued deaths at the jail and are working to make the facility safer and to rebuild trust with the community.

[Annelise Finney @sharkfinney]

Members of the Care First Community Coalition rallied at Santa Rita Jail today calling the County to establish independent civilian oversight of the sheriff’s department—four people have died in the jail since the start of the year. @KQEDnews

[Annelise Finney @sharkfinney]

Alameda County has taken some steps towards making this happen.

In 2021, the county passed the Care First, Jails Last Resolution which commit the county to relying on healthcare to address mental illness instead of incarceration.
