n February 19, 2021, SB 710, the District Attorneys: Conflict of Interest legislation was introduced in the California legislature.

The bill, if successfully passed and signed into law, will require district attorneys across the state who have taken political donations from police unions, to recuse themselves from cases involving police officers or sheriff deputies—a conflict of interest that is of course, more than obvious.

(source: istock.com)

A Working Relationship It is understandable that district attorneys and police must work together due to the nature of their jobs. It is also understandable that prosecutors often rely on police as their primary witnesses and they work together often on a daily basis.

The problem or conflict in this regard is that district attorneys accept financial political support from unions or associations representing

“When district attorneys run for the office, they get political donations from a range of interests, including powerful, well-funded police unions who represent the cops the DAs will be called to prosecute in the event of officer abuse of force, corruption or other misconduct.”

- Eric Westervelt However, since the bill’s introduction on February 19, 2021 it has remained stalled in the Appropriations Committee of the state Assembly since last August, “held in committee and under submission.” What this means is that the bill’s author and committee members want to work on or discuss the bill further and to date, the bill remains stuck in the Appropriations Committee.

police officers and sheriff deputies.

In the meantime, many fighting for criminal justice reform believe district attorneys’ reliance on such campaign support impairs their ability to be objective when it comes to cases involving police officers which often becomes even more suspect because these same unions frequently provide legal defense for officers accused of the continued on page 18

Perris Valley’s “Mayor of Good Hope” Willie Lee Moses Will Soon Celebrate 100th Birthday Phyllis Kimber Wilcox | Staff

C

ivil rights and community activist Willie Lee Moses, known in the Perris community as the "Mayor of Good Hope," is celebrating her 100th birthday in February.

Moses has been active in Perris Valley since moving there in 1957. During an oral history interview with the Bridges that Carried Us Over Project Moses spoke about her life including the early years.

"I was born in the deep south, north Louisiana, [in a town named] Farmerville. … In those days, they didn't have all the fancy classes and all like they have now.”

Moses explained how she went from elementary all the way through high school at the same school and graduated valedictorian.

After high school she attended two years at an all Black college in Louisiana, located about 30 miles from where she lived.

And then, according to Moses, “World War II came.”

During the war she moved to the state of Washington where she married. “After I got married, I worked for an ammunition depot right outside of Seattle, and my husband worked at the Navy yard. We worked there for almost three years, and when the war was over, we took our savings and went back home to Louisiana."

Sometime afterward, Moses and her husband, the late Henry Moses would move to California. They lived in Los Angeles and later moved to the Willowbrook area–located between Los Angeles and Compton– where they purchased a home. Moses earned her real estate license, bought some land and built two stores and a laundromat.

Moving to Perris The move to Perris Valley occurred after Moses, affected by a chronic medical condition, believed a drier climate would improve her health. They bought land in the Perris Valley and became active in the community.

Moses has been instrumental in the growth of the area. She took a leadership role in various organizations and projects including updating

the city’s infrastructure, construction of an elementary school and community center as well as taking part in the first Human Relations Commission which as she noted, "facilitated dialogue and training for community leaders that helped move race relations forward in the community and schools."

Moses, who worked for the school district as the food service manager, honors the relationships she made there. 'Yeah. I served on a lot of different committees. . .because [getting to know people through] the school, it led out into other organizations. And that's how I got to be known in the county."

Moses served the citizens of Perris in various other ways including providing food baskets to seniors, clothing and shoes for children, and buying school lunches for students who could not afford it. Her commitment to the community was rewarded when Perris’ Moses-Schaffer continued on page 17 (Above) Civil Rights Activist Willie Lee Moses’ commitment to the community was rewarded when Perris’ Moses-Schaffer Community Center was co-named in her honor.

San Bernardino County Launches COVID-19 Treatment Page

n January 31, San Bernardino County launched a COVID-19 Treatments and Therapeutics webpage. The page offers residents a general overview of approved therapeutic treatments such as Evusheld, a pre-exposure treatment and oral antiviral pill.

According to David Wert, San Bernardino County Public Information Officer, the county does not refer residents for treatment or track availability. Residents who seek treatment options are encouraged to speak directly to their physicians and health care providers.

The Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Therapeutics Locator monitors public locations that have received shipments of COVID-19 therapeutics under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) authority. Those looking for treatment can view which locations have in stock a particular treatment, but may not directly contact the locations. COVID-19 treatments and

(source: fda.gov)

therapeutics require a prescription by a licensed and authorized provider.

Residents begin to receive free at-home COVID-19 tests via USPS This week U.S. households began receiving free COVID-19 testing kits delivered by USPS. The website, COVIDtests.gov, officially launched on January 19, allowing households to order four free at-home COVID-19 tests. According to the postal service, orders will ship between seven and 12 days.

There are some limitations to ordering the free testing kits such as only four tests are available for each residential household and there have been some reports from residents of apartment buildings with multiple units being told that tests have already been ordered through those addresses.

Council Members Calvin and Damon Appointed to 2022 Housing Policy Leadership Academy Drew Naté | Staff

S

an Bernardino City Council Members Kimberly Calvin and Damon L. Alexander were recently named to the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) 2022 Housing Policy Leadership Academy.

As the State legislation focuses on regional housing needs and market forces accelerate housing production, the SCAG Housing Policy Leadership Academy (HPLA) will expose emerging and established leaders to best practices in housing policy to increase the availability of affordable housing in their communities.

The five specific areas of the HPLA program include producing housing for all; preserving vulnerable housing, promoting equity and inclusion, protecting tenants and small landlords, and preventing displacement.

As community indicators have shown, the median monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment ($1,113) is not affordable to many lower wage occupations, including individuals working as retail salespersons, home health aides, and transportation and materials moving occupations.

In 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey’s 1-Year Estimates, found that in San Bernardino County, 46% of renting households pay 35% or more of their income on rent. This compares to 44% statewide and 39% nationwide.

The shortage of affordable housing in San Bernardino and the Inland Empire as whole has been attributed to this large gap in affordability for most low-wage workers and their families.

Less affordable rental housing restricts the ability of renters to save for a down payment on a home, and limits their ability to become homeowners.

Although the Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area has the least expensive rental housing in the Southern California region, the issue of the area’s housing wage has increased in recent years according to community indicators.

“With more developers looking at opportunities in San Bernardino, we are poised for growth.

We need to be sure that inclusionary and affordable housing is part of that growth,” Alexander, who represents San Bernardino’s seventh According to San Bernardino City ward, said in a press Councilmember Damon Alexander, with more developers looking at release.

Alexander went on opportunities in the area, it is poised for growth and leaders need to say, “The timing of to ensure that “inclusionary and this Academy could affordable housing” is part of that not be better, and we growth (image source: sbcity.org). look forward to being a part of it.”

During the Academy, program participants and issue experts from across the state and

region will examine housing issues from diverse perspectives and apply their learning to current policy challenges.

Discussions will examine solutions that consider both the physical and social aspects of a healthy housing ecosystem for all.

The Housing Policy Leadership Academy will consist of ten monthly sessions and runs through November.

SCAG is the nation's largest metropolitan planning organization, representing six southern California counties, 191 cities and more than 19 million residents.

conducted by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 9.6 percent or an estimated 11.8 million households across the U.S. have five or more people living in them. In California, that number is higher at 13.7 percent.

“In some limited cases, addresses may not be recognized as multi-family by USPS. This might result in an issue placing an order if another resident at your address has already ordered,” the website noted. Residents facing this issue can file a service request or call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777).

Orders can also be delivered to residential P.O. boxes and is available to every residential address in the U.S. including Puerto Rico, U.S. Territories and overseas military and diplomatic addresses (APO/FPO/DPO).

How to report at-home COVID-19 results As residents begin receiving at-home or over-the-counter COVID-19 tests, many are unsure of what to do with their results. At-home tests are self-tests that allow individuals to test themselves outside of a laboratory and receive results in under 20 minutes. These tests usually require an individual to take nose swabs or a cheek swab and test it.

The California Department of Public Health recommends that individuals report their positive test results. Some athome tests include instructions on how to report results or

To open the first discussion of 2022, Weber testified virtually in front of the nine-member panel. She said eligibility should be based on “the impact of slavery” on enslaved Black people and their descendants as opposed to “those who were never slaves.”

“Reparations is designed to repair and heal the damages done to Africans for 400 years and (suffered) through Jim Crow (laws),” Weber said.

“Recent immigrants do not share our common oppression at the same level. Reparations are for those of descendants of slavery. Their ties are permanently severed from their homeland and their ability to return to Africa is almost impossible. We are truly Americans.”

Weber is a central figure in California’s consideration of reparations Weber (D-San Diego) authored Assembly Bill (AB) 3120 which established the task force while serving in the Assembly before her appointment to be the state’s first African American Secretary of State in January 2021. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the state’s historic reparations bill into law in September 2020.

The great-granddaughter, granddaughter, and daughter of Black sharecroppers, Weber’s 20-minute testimony set the stage for the reparations meeting held on Jan. 27 and Jan. 28.

The sixth of 10-planned meetings, the agenda covered topics, including public health, mental health, technology, and physical health.

Gaining a better perspective To gain a better perspective on the issue of eligibility, Weber suggested that task force members listen to recordings made in the 1930s of former slaves. The slave narratives were recorded as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration

“When slavery ended, when slavery was no longer legal, they (the formerly enslaved) literally had nothing, nothing but the scalps on their backs,” Weber said. “They did not own any property, any equipment, they owned no land, they had no sense of direction, no place to sleep, or no place to stay. They had nothing.”

Weber explained that the call for reparations is because Black people provided free labor for over two centuries. When they were freed in 1865, an estimated 3.9 million formerly enslaved people had no shelter, workforce skills, education, or financial means to function in society.

A small portion of the enslaved that were working in the cotton and tobacco fields and in the “Big House” of the enslavers had options, but it kept them tied to slavery in one form or another.

“As a result [of freedom], most of them only had the skills of farming, which became

the foundation for the sharecropping system,” Weber said. “A few Africans who lived in the ‘Big House’ knew how to serve, iron clothes, and wait on individuals. They sat in the house and listened to those plans of sharecropping and knew it was another wave of slavery … a different kind of slavery. Those who had skills left. They went north [for better opportunities].”

Should Blacks who are not descendants of American slaves be entitled to reparations?

Task Force member Lisa Holder, a Los Angeles civil rights trial attorney, said Weber basically set the “framework” in terms of settling the eligibility issue. She pointed out that slavery was factually a “Western hemispheric economy” where Black people were also traded in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean islands.

“Don’t get me wrong, the impact of slavery was universal around the world,” Weber continued on page 17

Riverside and San Bernardino Counties Fail to Meet Deadline for Reducing Cannabis Convictions Drew Naté | Staff

​I

n 2016 California voters legalized the recreational use of cannabis and with this passing of legislation came the promise to create legal ways to lower marijuana-related convictions or reduce such convictions to a lesser charge.

Although a 2018 law was passed by legislators to help speed up the process and to help clear many Californians who are stuck with felonies, misdemeanors and other convictions on their records, the process has moved at a slow pace.

The Los Angeles Times has reported that “at least 34,000 marijuana records still have not been fully processed by the courts, according to an analysis of data provided by court officials throughout the state.”

The counties’ courts are held responsible for the slow processing of these records and while some counties have moved quicker to clear records, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties have moved rather slow.

While San Bernardino reportedly has about 5,400 cannabis cases remaining, Riverside County has an alleged backlog of approximately 21,000 cases.

Justice Department Deadline The Justice Department sent 191,055 potentially eligible marijuana cases to district attorneys for review with a deadline of July 1, 2020, to send cases to the courts for processing. While most counties followed through, California’s 2018, AB-1793 Cannabis Convictions: Resentencing law did not give California’s 58 superior courts a deadline to complete their end of the work which includes updating case records and transmitting them back to the Justice Department, which maintains the statewide criminal history database, and also responds to state background checks.

This slow process of clearing records

by Riverside and San Bernardino Counties specifically impacts members of the Black and Latino communities.

The California Department of Justice has urged prosecutors and courts to speed up the process of lowering marijuana-related convictions to a lesser charge (Source: California Department of Justice).

While national studies show marijuana usage is roughly the same among white, Black and Latino people, in 2015 in California, the marijuana arrest rates for Latinos were 1.4 times higher than white people, and Black Californians were arrested at a rate 3.5 times the rate of white people, according to a 2016 report by the Drug Policy Alliance.

The Inland Empire, in comparison to other counties, is amongst the lowest in regards to clearance rates in the state and the reason for these delays are not for lack of funding.

The courts received $16.83 million from the state budget to pay for the costs of processing records, such as staffing and development of information technology but no one is currently tracking where the funds are going.

Lives impacted by delays Some have pointed to the continued delay in clearing records of marijuana-related convictions highlights a pattern of racial

discrepancies when it comes to drug policies for people of color, especially for Black Californians, who for decades have had the highest arrest rates in the state.

The delays in clearing drug charges has affected those who are seeking employment, professional licensing, housing, loans, and in other instances in which background checks are required.

In December, the state Department of Justice sent out a bulletin urging prosecutors and courts to speed up the process.

California became the first state in the nation to offer automatic record clearance for marijuana convictions through its Assembly Bill 1793. The bill was supposed to clear thousands with past cannabis convictions, doing away with the need to file individual court petitions but because the process has varied by county, thousands are still waiting for their records to be cleared.

New “College Corps” Program Offers $10,000 to Students for Community Service Edward Henderson | California Black Media

O

n Jan. 18, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new $146 million work service program for college students that offers $10,000 stipends for college expenses to more than 6,000 students who participate in local community projects.

The effort called “Californians for All College Corps” requires students enrolled in the program to complete 450 hours of community service over the course of the school year to receive the funding.

“This is about forming stronger connections.

Things that have more meaning tend to things that are beyond yourself,” said Gov. Newsom at the kickoff of the event, which was streamed live on Zoom.

“You find a sense of self by finding a sense of responsibility and service to others,” the Governor said.

Josh Fryday, who serves as California’s Chief Service Officer, moderated the kickoff of the “College Corps” program. In 2019, Newsom appointed Fryday, a U.S. Navy Vet and former Mayor of Navato, to “lead service, volunteer and civic engagement efforts throughout California.”

“We see this program as what I like to call a win-win, win-win,” said Fryday, as he described how 45 colleges and universities across the state had partnered to implement the initiative that will start in the fall of 2022.

Creating a win-win “It’s a win for the student who helps them pay for college, gain valuable skills, social capital, and exposes them to different careers.

It’s a win for the University because it keeps students engaged, reduce their financial strain and reinforces the reality that universities are essential pillars of their community,” said Fryday.

“It’s a win for the community who will benefit by the critical service being performed by the College Core. And it’s a win for society

(source: adobestock.com)

which will benefit from a new generation of civic minded leaders,” he added.

Black and Latino Californians have the highest rates of student loan default and delinquency and owe an estimated $147 billion in college loan debt, according to the Governor’s office.

Universities across the state will collaborate with local government, community service organizations and non-profits, pairing College Corps fellows with causes that are priorities in their participating communities. Service opportunities will include initiatives around fighting climate change, solving economic disparities, assisting the state’s COVID-19 economic recovery, and more.

credits

toward

Students will receive credits towards graduation as well for their service. And since the program is state-funded, Dreamers will be allowed to participate – unlike Job Corps, a similar but federally funded service program that only accepts students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

College Corps is modeled on a pilot program started at San Jose State University last year.

Ian Chavez, a junior and Computer Science major was a participant in the Civil Action Pilot Program at San Jose State. He shared some of his experiences with the Zoom audience.

“I was able to join with a team of likeminded individuals with an intense diversity of cultures and majors. The San Jose State fellows are opening doors to people who may have never found their love for coding or other stem topics because of their circumstances,” continued on page 17

have automatic electronic reporting. If not, the department recommends that individuals share their positive test results with their health care provider in order to receive “appropriate medical care.”

Residents can also report their COVID-19 test results using the California CommunityBased At-Home Testing website. Reporting both negative and positive results is recommended to track COVID-19 rates across communities, with the results being reported to local California Health Departments.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends testing at least 5 days after your first exposure. The CDC also recommends that an individual conduct repeat testing if they believe their test gave them a false negative result or if they tested themselves too early in the infection stage. Repeat testing is when a person tests multiple times for COVID-19 or regular basis such as every few days.

approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday, January 31.

Initially given Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in December 2020 for individuals 18

years old and older, clinical trials for the vaccine concluded that the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine was 94 percent effective against the virus in people who received two doses and who were not previously infected.

According to the FDA, the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine rebranded under the name of Spikevax. Spikevax has the same formulation as the EUA Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and can be used interchangeably with the emergency use Moderna vaccine. Under EUA Moderna COVID-19 can be administered as a two-dose vaccine, given one month apart, and as a third dose for individuals 18 years old and older and those who are identified as immunocompromised.

The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine can be administered as a single booster, at least five months after receiving initial vaccines, to individuals who received different primary vaccines such as Pfizer-BioNTech or Janssen.

White House Praises California Model, Says Equity Is Critical in COVID Fight Aldon Thomas Stiles | California Black Media

L

ast week Dr. Cameron Webb, the White House COVID-19 Response Team’s Senior Policy Advisor for Equity, discussed with California Black Media (CBM) the importance of fairness in the country’s fight against COVID. He complimented California's pandemic response model.

“There has been a great model in California, which has always been a leader in some of these equitable initiatives,” Webb said.

He praised the work of Deputy Director for the California Department of Public Heath's (CDPH) Office of Health Equity Dr. Rohan C. Radhakrishna.

“Some of the work they've been doing on data collection in California had them tracking [COVID-19] across demographics in preparing to respond to the need. Without having the data, without knowing what the problems are, you can't find the solution.” Webb said.

California was among the first states to start tracking racial data to determine why the disease, based on early infection patterns, was disproportionately impacting Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans.

Although the rate of infections by race narrowed over time, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and California Department of Health data still show higher COVID death rates for African Americans than the general population.

Higher COVID-19 death rates among Blacks continues The COVID-19 death rate is 15% higher for Black Californians than the statewide average. Nationally, African Americans, account for 12 % of the country’s population,but make up about 14% of COVID-19 related deaths.

According to Webb, inequity in health care is one of the many challenges that need to be addressed as the country pushes to end the pandemic.

Just to address it head on, we have an inequitable health care system,” Webb told CBM. “We have a health care system that does not serve all communities in a way that's fair and that is rooted in systemic and structural dynamics that are themselves inequitable. We have inequitable risk factors, social risk, within communities.”

COVID-19 exposed deep rooted problems of inequity Webb said that the racial disparities that Americans have been struggling with during the COVID-19 pandemic continues to expose deeper, systemic problems.

"COVID-19 really just highlights those inherent inequities and it makes it much more urgent, I would say, for some folks to find a strategy and solution," Webb said.

During our interview, Webb provided an update on the state of the Black community during this pandemic.

"If you go back to 2021, back in late August, you actually saw that the rate of cases in the Black community was lower than the rate of cases in the White community," Webb said.

Omicron hit Black communities hard “And that was all through September, all through October, and through most of November until the very end of November when Omicron started to surge. That's when we saw the case rate jump up again in Black communities to be where it is now, which is at 1.6 times the White case rate,” he pointed out.

Webb said that vaccination rates in the Black community are improving.

"In the earliest days of the vaccination effort, we saw pretty wide gaps emerge between White adults and Black adults. But by September of 2021, those rates were equivalent," he said.

Webb pointed out that his team found that local communities around the country are taking steps to address racial disparities, too. However, challenges remain.

Continuing challenges "We still see some gaps in who has been boosted. We see some gaps in pediatric vaccination rates. We need to apply the same strategies that got our adult vaccination rates up to get kids vaccinated, and also to get more folks boosted," he said. “We're seeing communities take the lead on that, and we are being as supportive as we can from the federal side because we know that it works.”

According to Webb, income inequality, housing instability, food insecurity, and educational inequity all correlate with health outcomes.

All those factors, he said, contributed to communities of color facing disproportionate challenges during the pandemic. continued on page 18

he said. “If someone pursues a stem major and helps diversify the industry at the expense of several hours of my time, then I think that is an amazing exchange and so worthwhile.”

Chavez also participated in a service project where volunteers knit sock monkeys for the children of refugees settling in the Bay Area.

Chavez said he heard about the program during his freshman year in a service-learning course while living at home with his parents to help cut down the cost of his education. He credited the program for not only providing much-needed funds to make his education more affordable, but also lauded the experience for deepening his sense of civic responsibility and grounding him emotionally.

Chancellors from the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), California Community College (CCC) and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) systems spoke at the launch program. All of them committed to support and facilitate the launch of College Corps and each of them has committed to expanding the program in the future.

“The University of California is pleased to partner with Governor Newsom on this innovative program, which will help thousands of students pay for college while they give back to their communities,” said University of California President Michael V. Drake.

“Providing more pathways to a debt-free degree while empowering students to pursue serviceoriented career paths is a reflection of our shared commitment to access, affordability, and public service.”

Newsom pledged his continued support for the program and says he looks forward to seeing it serve the needs of more students and communities around California.

“We have 6,500 opportunities to create more Ians and expand to thousands more.

That’s exciting,” he said.

responded. “But many of those places have intact much more cultural relevance than we have. I’m dealing with what the United States’ responsibility is. If we decided to solve all the problems around the world, we’d probably get 50 cents each and that would be the end of it.”

Weber continued, “I think those in other countries should also be dealing with the countries that they come from (where) they put their labor in. We looked at the fact that we worked for free (in the U.S.) for over 100 years and built this nation. I am not in favor of opening this up to all folks. It gets too complicated.”

Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) asked Weber for her perspective on a comment Andrew Young, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. protégée, former Congressman, mayor of Atlanta and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, made to him. Young said some White people were enslaved and may be entitled to reparations, too.

Infrastructure As part of her involvement in helping update infrastructure in Perris Valley, Moses shared how they had to work on bringing gas to the area., “[W]e didn't have gas,” said Moses.

Adding, “First, we didn't have water. You had to go to…downtown Perris…and you could go haul water... " Human Relations Commission Moses worked to improve civil rights through her involvement with Perris Valley's first Human Relations Commission. The effort, according to Moses, received funding from University of California, Riverside.

"We’d have rallies to talk about diversity and all.” Moses explained noting how the participants were a mixed group, but she also recalled how some of the people involved, “learned nothing, because they didn't really want to learn. But some of the people were anxious and really worked hard at understanding."

Organizing through the church Moses was also active in democratic politics through her membership in the AME church.

"Well, we did a lot of voting and registering voters and things like that to bring people together. The church participated in it because they believed in working with everything to make things better. And being [that Perris was] a kind of new environment, everything was needed. So you could always find something that needed working on or with. [T]hat's how we accomplished a lot of things that other people didn't… because we would work together through the church."

Moses' many contributions to the community will be acknowledged at a celebration in her honor at the Riverside Moses Schaffer Community Center on Friday, February 18, 2022 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. For additional information or to RSVP, please contact Eleanor Moses at: willieleemoses@gmail.com or by calling (510) 290-4563.

Should descendants of whites who are enslaved be entitled to reparations?

“There were various levels of servitude that existed in this country but none as pervasive or upheld by law as it was for Africans in this country,” Weber said. “We were visible. If there was a White person who remained in slavery they’ve must have wanted to stay because they could have run away. I appreciate Andrew Young and his desire to be compassionate to the world but oftentimes our compassion has not served us well.”

AB 3121 charges the task force with studying the institution of slavery and its lingering effects on African Americans who are descendants of persons enslaved in the United States.

In addition, the task force will suggest appropriate compensation, rehabilitation, and restitution for African Americans.

By statute, the task force will issue its first report to the California legislature by June 1 of this year, which will be available to the public.

Putting an End, continued from page 3

inappropriate use of force or other illegal actions while on duty.

Roles and responsibilities The primary role of the District Attorney is to protect the community he or she is elected to serve. However, too often we witness more protection being given to accused officers–most who do not even live in the communities where they work–by local district attorneys, than the residents of the communities these district attorneys were elected to serve and protect.

Close relationships between district attorneys’ offices and the police has led criminologists, those who advocate for civil liberties, legislators, as well as families of those killed and injured by police, to call for an end to this conflict of interest.

In 1984 the California Supreme Court found in People v. Conner that a conflict of interest exists, “…whenever the circumstances of a case evidence a reasonable possibility that the DA’s office may not exercise its discretionary function in an even-handed manner. Thus, there is no need to determine whether a conflict is ‘actual’ or only gives an ‘appearance’ of conflict.”

From another perspective, although current guidelines are designed to ensure that prosecutors are disqualified whenever there is a conflict of

interest that would impede defendant’s right to a fair trial, there are no current guidelines in place to prevent conflicts of interests when it comes to a prosecutors’ ability to fairly investigate and prosecute a police officer who allegedly commits a crime while on duty. This remains a roadblock to justice for those abused by rogue officers, especially those in Black and Brown communities.

As noted in the draft, SB 710 “is intended to eliminate the conflict of interest between prosecutors and peace officers—whether real or perceived—to protect the integrity of the prosecutorial function, support the fair administration of justice, ensure equal justice for victims of police crimes, and build public trust in law enforcement.”

A call to action During the worst days of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the wake of the 2020 Uprising, governments, businesses, nonprofits and others were running over one another to express commitments to work toward greater equity.

But, nearly two years hence many priority issues remain unchanged including putting an end to the conflict of interest between district attorneys and police that has existed for generations.

The district attorneys and county sheriffs in both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties must all face the voters this year. Perhaps we should ask where they stand on this important measure.

Color of Change has launched a petition demanding the state legislature pass SB 710.

Follow this link to sign the petition or follow this link for information regarding how to contact your state legislators directly and demand this legislation move forward. It only takes a moment to let your voice be heard.

We should not leave it to others to act on our behalf. Martin Luther King Jr. taught that, “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable. Every step toward the goal of justice requires…the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”

And, as we have also learned over generations, concern and dedication in the ongoing movement for change also requires action.

Of course, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.

"They leave a significantly higher burden of chronic illness in communities of color which leads to higher risk of poor outcomes with COVID-19," Webb said.

Lastly, Webb described the White House's approach to inequity in health care.

"We can't solve all of the challenges that have developed in our society, in terms of structural inequity since 1619, but what we can say in the short term: 'what are the acute needs that we can address in a way that we can create workarounds to get more resources to the Black community and other hardest-hit communities; what are the medium term fixes that we need to offer to make sure these communities are more protected; and, finally, how do we change this system so that 5 to 10 years from now, my kids are not saying we have an inequitable health care system,'" Webb emphasized.
