The #California #recall was referendum on #covidmandates. #Exitpoll found:
🦠#coronavirus was the most important issue
🦠Almost half find #GovNewsom’s policies #aboutright, 17% think they’re #notstrictenough!
🦠69% support #masks 4 students in schools
🦠2 to1 support #vaccinemandates as #publichealth responsibility over personal choice
#vaxxed
These #California #recallelection & #covid case results for this week literally map our political / healthcare organizing ahead.
Overlap between Republican counties & the #recall is not surprising BUT unfortunately the match with #covid19hotspots is predictable too.

Good Job! #Californians turned out strong to #stoptherepublicanrecall by nearly a 2 to 1 margin in #votebymail returns!
The GOP did slightly better in Election Day voting but as the remainder of late #mailin ballots come in #Democrats will gain again.

#stoptherepublicanrecall
While #Democrats outnumber the GOP in #California, I’ve seen several school & other progressive state measures go down after leading in the polls because of low voter turnout.
Right wing GOP radio host Larry Elder could be our governor with less than 30% of the vote if we are complacent.
Elder opposes:
☹️Abortion rights
☹️Minimum wages
🙁COVID mask & vaccination mandates
☹️Gun control
☹️Immigrant rights
☹️Blames #BLM for rising crime in bit.ly/3nj9iJE

#EmergencyCouncilMeeting today at 2:30pm to save #Oakland #HeadStartCenters. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82178789417
My e-comment:
As a former School Board /City Council Member I want to thank Councilwomen Kaplan, Bas, Fife & Thao for sponsoring this budget amendment. Over the years the City has stepped up to save & expand Headstart through political & economic crises because it is a good investment in our families and city:
• Headstart kids are more likely to graduate from high school, attend college, or receive post-secondary degrees, license, or certification
• Helps support parent skills and ability to work
It is outrageous that Administration planned to close the Franklin, Tassaforanga & Arroyo Viejo Headstart programs in some of our poorest neighborhoods without public hearings and almost no notice.
It makes no sense to dismantle these programs when it is very likely that federal infrastructure funds for preschool will be increased.
Thank you also for expanding space at #LincolnSquare. #Chinatown has historically the most crowded schools and facilities. More Headstart space is a positive step towards #UniversalPreschool for Oakland

#JUSTVOTE Most #California voters received our #recall #ballots a week ago.
#Democrats are in the majority but Republicans are counting on a low turnout. Many pollsters are predicting this will be a close election.
Before your #ballot gets covered by junk mail, please #vote. It literally takes a minute.
With 46 candidates, a conservative talk show host would become governor with about 20% of the vote if the recall passes. www.nytimes.com/2021/08/24/us/larry-elder-california-governor-recall.html

💔#Heartbroken in #Oakland. The #OaklandSymphony’s #Maestro #MichaelMorgan passed Thursday. bit.ly/37Z1owe
Michael not only made classical music accessible to our diverse city & nation, he integrated our international cultures into making our symphony a leading force.
Why I and so many loved him so deeply was for his work with our youth & influence on generations of musicians.
I met him in the fight to save #musicprograms in the #OaklandSchools. From that work we developed the #MUSE program that brings symphony musicians into the schools and gives more individual attention to gifted students. I will always remember visiting #PiedmontAvenueSchool near his home and finding him playing the piano with students. He told me with his impish smile that he liked to drop by for inspiration.
We can ensure that he plays on by donating to the MUSE, Youth Symphony and other community programs here: https://sforce.co/37Z4xw2

#DiaOakland is my favorite #Oakland #festival. I especially love the beauty & love of the altars or offrendas. In this year of #coronavirus the #community sharing is especially missed. Enjoy this slideshow from last year. Repost—Congratulations to #Oakland’s #UnityCouncil and #FruitvaleVillage merchants for hosting this years exciting #DiadelosMuertos. The theme for this year’s increasingly complex and beautiful #offrendas #altars was #LosAusentes (The Absent) paying respect to those who are no longer with us, whether they are loved ones who have passed away, homicides or members of this very community who have been #displaced due to #deportation, #gentrification, or #incarceration. #weloveoakland #oaklanddiversityatitsbest #dayofthedead
Nearly 4 years ago millions of #women led the #resistance agst #Trump. The vibrancy of that day ignited a unity that was a broad coalition.

Trump says he’s learned from having the #coronavirus. Don’t think he understands the lessons. But it’s #toolate for 212,000 Americans and too late for the American #economy. #TrumpLiesAmericansDie #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt #BidenHarris2020
#RuthBaderGinsburg 1933-2020 #Champion for #Equality ⚖️ Incredibly #sad today. Remembering her leadership in defining #womensrights and her unyielding strength in the #SCOTUS standing up for #justice. “...the greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view. So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today, but for tomorrow." Today we #mourn, tomorrow we #fight. #RIPRBG #notoriousrbg
