@workingeastbay.bsky.social discussed how the holdup of the sale of Oakland Coliseum is delaying plans for community development and closing the budget gap. "The people of East Oakland have been let down over and over and over again." www.kqed.org/news/1203606...

The city’s latest revision to its deal comes amid protracted Alameda County talks for the other 50% stake. It will leave Oakland without a payout until at least the next fiscal year.

1/ 5 The Family and Medical Leave Act turns 32 this week, but much remains desired. 80% of Black mothers provide at least 40% of their household’s income. Yet, FMLA’s gaps leave them vulnerable when they need to use leave.  #PaidLeaveForAll

Faith has the ability to ground our movements in love, hope, and radical tradition. We commend Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for her courage in using her faith and her platform to speak truth to power.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
