California Transforms Oakland's Fruitvale Community With Cleanup Of Polluted Land For Affordable Housing

EAST OAKLAND, CA California's De- partment of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) today joined state partners, local leaders and community organizers to celebrate the ground- breaking of 75 new state-funded affordable homes in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood. The housing development at 2700 International Boulevard will include 22 apartments for for- merly homeless veterans.

This project is just one of several significant investments in affordable housing along the his- toric International Boulevard Corridor, the cen- ter of Oakland's Latino community.

"The transformation along International Bou- levard shows what is possible when environ- mental cleanup, affordable housing and com- munity leadership work together. For decades, these sites stood vacant because of pollution. Today, they are becoming homes and places of economic opportunity," DTSC Director Kath- erine Butler stated.

DTSC provided nearly $300,000 to The Uni- ty Council to plan the environmental cleanup of contamination left behind from prior uses, See "California Tra..." page 7

In San Bernardino County, Black babies are almost three times more likely to die before their first birthday than white babies. From 2018 to 2023, the number of babies born too early went up by more than 10%. Black mothers also have a higher chance of feeling sad or depressed during pregnancy, which can affect both mom and baby.

FIMR is a local group of doctors, nurses, community leaders, and neighbors. They work together to learn why some babies die and how to stop it from happening. They look at real cases (mom's and baby's information is kept private) and share ideas to help make care better for families.

The Supreme Court has done something remarkable. It has ruled that the Constitution means what it says. The Equal Protection Clause forbids racial discrimination. Apparently, this is controversial.

The Supreme Court has done something remarkable.

It has ruled that the Constitution means what it says. The Equal Protection Clause forbids racial discrimination. Apparently, this is controversial.

The court's decision striking down Louisiana's court-mandated congressional map has sent Demo- crats into theatrical fits of outrage. Chuck Schumer calls it a return to Jim Crow. Barack Obama says the court is abandoning its role in protecting minority rights. Kamala Harris warns of a grand conspiracy to suppress the Black vote.

But before accepting this narra- tive, it is worth asking a straight- forward question: if Democrats are so deeply concerned about Black Americans, why does their con-

cern so reliably align with their own electoral interests?

To understand what is actually at stake, one must be honest about history. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was not born from paranoia or partisan calculation. It was born from documented, systematic, le- gally enforced brutality against Black political participation across the Deep South. States deployed literacy tests designed to be failed. Poll taxes priced Black citizens out of the ballot box. Registrars turned away qualified Black applicants on technicalities invented on the spot. In some counties where Black resi- dents constituted a majority, vir- tually none appeared on the voter rolls. Those who pressed the mat- ter risked their livelihoods, their safety, and sometimes their lives.

jor elections coming up this year:

the state primary election on June 2, and the midterm election on No- vember 3.

To help make sure eligible state residents understand the voting process, the state has created re- sources to inform the public.

Shirley N. Weber, California's Secretary of State and chief elec- tions officer, has created a range of online tools to build confidence in the process.

"We are working to make sure that people can see what we do and so that people know that our voting is safe and secure. And that every registered voter has a right to vote in a safe place," said Weber in a conference on voting rights.

Online registrants will need a California driver's license, the last four digits of their social security num- ber and date of birth.

There is also a pre-registration for California residents 16 to 17 years old, which automatically registers them when they turn 18 years old. People without access to a com- puter can use paper forms which can be found at local libraries, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), post offices and even some government buildings.

DTSC is part of a statewide effort, led by Governor Gavin Newsom, to address homelessness and the need for affordable housing.

SAN DIEGO, CA--- Airman Apprentice Juan Jimenezbaez, a native of Riverside, California, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron Eight (HSC-8), at Naval Air Sta- tion North Island, California.

Jimenezbaez graduated from Hen- ry J. Kaiser High School in 2015. The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Riverside.

"Growing up, I always needed to be somewhere at a specific time, so I made it a habit to be there 15 minutes beforehand," Jimenezbaez said. "In the military, if you are on time, you're late. So it is always better to be early to prepare men- tally and physically. Back home, going to church, if you're not on time, you don't get a good seat, so it's best to be early."

Jimenezbaez joined the Navy one year ago. Today, Jimenezbaez

"I joined the Navy to better my life and my family's, and to make my kids proud of their father," Jimene zbaez said. "I have two children, and my wife is currently expecting. Before I joined, I was just working in warehouses. I didn't really have the time to further my education. I always wanted to join, but now that I am in, I have more resources to further my education and provide for my family. The Navy has al- lowed me the opportunity to bet- ter my family and myself. Being first-generation military, I have the opportunity to make everyone proud, especially my kids. I have been able to motivate my siblings, cousins and family to follow in my footsteps in joining the military."
