Inland Empire Community Fridge opens fir st refrigerator in Colton

By Annakai Hayakawa Geshlider

I

n October, a new organization called Inland Empire Community Fridges opened its first fridge in Colton. For the past three months, volunteers have been stocking the fridge with free fresh food for anyone who needs it.

The Colton fridge is part of the global trend of community fridges that have blossomed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Community fridges are usually installed and managed by volunteers, who oversee donations and make sure the food doesn’t go bad. The basic idea: Take what you need, give what you don’t.

UC Riverside seniors Jessica Espinoza and Josh Dunlap started Inland Empire Community Fridges in October. They are pictured here at the “Really Really Free Market” in Riverside’s Fairmount Park in early December, a mutual aid event they host monthly with other local groups.

The fridges are now popular throughout the globe — including in Egypt, Lebanon, Thailand, Colombia, Spain, India, and the United Kingdom. Freedge, an organization that promotes community fridges, has documented their presence on every continent except Antarctica. According to Freedge’s online database, there are community fridges in nearly half the states in the U.S. There are currently over 69 community fridges operating in the five boroughs of New York. Los Angeles Community Fridges — a mutual aid network of businesses, organizations, and individuals — now sustains 18 community fridges across the city.

The community fridge movement originated in Berlin in 2014, when the volunteer organization Foodsharing began redistributing food to community fridges that would have otherwise gone to waste.

The Colton Community Fridge, located behind the Iglesia Bautista Rayos de Luz, at the corner of La Cadena and L Street in South Colton.

Motivated by the global trend, UC Riverside dance major Jessica Espinoza wanted to start a fridge in the Inland Empire.

“The L.A. community and the New York community really inspired me,” said Espinoza.

“I’ve seen a lot of homelessness around here, and as someone too that is a student, that is in need of food,” she saw the need for a Fridge, cont. on next pg.

Page A2 • Jan. 14, 2021 • Inland Empire Community Newspapers • Colton Courier Fridge community fridge. Espinoza contacted her friend and fellow dance major, Josh Dunlap. “I said ‘Hey, is there a fridge out here in the I.E.?”

Dunlap had also been wanting to start up a community fridge. Together, the two formed Inland Empire Community Fridges. The group currently runs one fridge in Colton, and has plans to open fridges in Riverside and other cities throughout the Inland Empire.

Individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families, stop by to pick up food from the fridge.

“One man walks six miles everyday to get sandwiches from the fridge,” said Dunlap. “From Riverside. It’s kind of heartwarming that it’s happening, and it’s heartbreaking at the same time.”

Dunlap and Espinoza are currently searching for a host in Riverside, where they say there is great need.

Around 20 people per day use the Colton Community Fridge.

During one week, “we went through 80 sandwiches and 80 water bottles,” said Espinoza. On a particularly busy day, 25 sandwiches were taken within two days.

The role of community fridges is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic, Espinoza says, which has hindered food access and employment. The Inland Empire Community Collaborative reports that due to the pandemic, food insecurity in the I.E. has broken previous records. “Food insecure” means a lack of access to enough nutritious food to survive.

There are over 400,000 people living in the I.E. who are food insecure, according to the antihunger organization Feeding America Riverside/San Bernardino.

In order to install the first fridge, Dunlap and Espinoza visited potential hosts in multiple cities.

They needed to find a host with a few square feet of private property where the fridge could be plugged in. Using donations from their GoFundMe online fundraiser, Inland Empire Community Fridges would cover electricity and food costs.

Still, securing a spot for the first fridge was not easy. “Before we got a yes, there were 80 people saying no,” said Dunlap. “They would go into this long rant about how the homeless are dirty, how they don’t want them around.

There was a lot of hate.”

After a week of asking around, Espinoza and Dunlap were glad to find a willing host, a local auto shop owner. After the fridge operated on the shop’s property for a week, a group of police arrived.

“They said they were going to confiscate [the fridge] because it was two inches onto public property,” said Dunlap.

When the shop owner agreed to find a different spot for the fridge, a policeman began questioning the owner’s immigration status.

Dunlap explained that the shop owner felt he could not safely continue to host the fridge. “[The fridge] was in the alley; it was not bothering anybody,” said Espinoza. She says she knows there will be people who won’t like the idea of a community fridge. “That’s something that we discussed. We’re gonna have to face that challenge. We have to make sure that with every move, we are doing it with love, compassion, and that it is for the com-

munity.”

But Dunlap and Espinoza were determined to find a permanent home for the fridge. After removing the fridge from its original site, Dunlap walked along La Cadena Avenue in South Colton looking for a new host. “Josh literally was taking the fridge with him everywhere, door to door,” said Espinoza. Dunlap came upon the Iglesia Bautista Rayos de Luz, a church at the corner of La Cadena and L. “The pastor just happened to be out in his backyard,” said Dunlap.

“I randomly asked him [if he would host the fridge], ’cause I was asking everybody.”

Pastor Robert Cruz did not have to think twice. “I said, ‘say no more. Bring it,’” the pastor recalled. “If it’s to help people, I’m in.”

Since then, the fridge has been located behind the Iglesia Bautista Rayos de Luz, on L Street at La Cadena. Pastor Robert already ran his own food pantry out of the church, so he felt a community fridge would fit in well.

Since installing the fridge at the church, operations have been smooth. The fridge is open during daylight hours. Every day, Espinoza, Dunlap, or their volunteers visit the fridge. They fill it with freshly-made sandwiches, fruits and vegetables, and snacks like yogurt and cheese. Kids stop by for juice. There are water bottles and condiments available for the taking.

Pastor Robert enjoys sitting in the church garden, greeting those who stop by to donate and pick up food from the fridge. He chats with regulars and newcomers alike. “One day, I was sitting here, and a guy came by and said, ‘The sandwiches in that fridge are so good!’” the pastor recalled. “I said, ‘You want another one?’”

On Thanksgiving, Pastor Robert said, families stopped by for plates of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes prepared by volunteers.

Since the opening of the Colton fridge, volunteer energy has been high. Volunteers respond to requests on IE Community Fridges’ Instagram, or sign up through an online form.

“We really couldn’t have done this without the community,” said Espinoza. “From getting the fridges, to painting them, to what it is now. Whenever we ask, ‘the fridge needs some love,’ there are so many people willing to do that.”

For Espinoza and Dunlap, health protocols are crucial for managing the fridge. This is especially important for ensuring the health of community members without health insurance, Espinoza added.

Volunteers are directed in how to safely prepare food, wear masks, and wash and sanitize hands. Volunteers label food with the date that it is placed in the fridge, to prevent it from going bad.

Despite the backlash and difficulties Espinoza and Dunlap faced for wanting to start community fridges, the two friends are clear on their goal. “It’s all about giving to our people, and feeding each other,” said Espinoza. “We don’t discriminate who we feed.

As long as the food is going out there, for people who really need it.” *** At first, not many people knew about the Colton fridge. To get the word out, Espinoza and Dunlap

decided to put on events. In cities such as Riverside, “there’s so much need, but we haven’t been able to find a host,” said Dunlap.

Until they install a fridge in Riverside, Espinoza and Dunlap host community events to provide food and spread the word about the Colton fridge.

One Saturday in mid-December, Inland Empire Community Fridges teamed up with a handful of fellow local mutual aid groups to host the second “Really Really Free Market.” At the socially-distanced event in Riverside’s Fairmount, picnic tables held bagged lunches, plates of hot pasta, canned goods, granola bars, and fruit. There were stations with clothing, shoes, and hygiene kits containing masks, hand sanitizer, and soap. Everything was free.

Throughout the afternoon, individuals and families stopped by the Really Really Free Market to pick up supplies. Because some folks don’t have convenient transportation, said Espinoza, it can be impactful to pick up many supplies all at once.

Espinoza said around 15 people contacted IE Community Fridges on Instagram to help out with the event. To prepare, seven people volunteered to make sandwiches.

“It’s a little bit scary, coming out and doing events like this during COVID,” said Dunlap. “That’s a risk I’m willing to take, because I know that people still need the daily food.” Inland Empire Community Fridges teamed up with Riverside Food Not Bombs, Communit.IE, and the San Bernardino Brown Berets to put on the Really Really Free Market.

At the event was Steve Fuji, a member of Riverside Food Not Bombs, a volunteer movement with chapters across the globe.

Since its founding in 1980, Food Not Bombs has been redistributing food that would otherwise be thrown out.

“There’s no reason for people to go hungry in this country when there’s so much food being wasted,” said Fuji. “The amazing thing is how easily available food donations are. You just have to go ask for it in the right places.”

One of those places is an upscale Italian deli in nearby Canyon Crest, which Fuji says bakes more than it can sell in a day. At the Really Really Free Market, Fuji and fellow volunteers offered extra bread from the deli. They also served containers of hot pasta they prepared themselves. *** What’s next for Inland Empire Community Fridges?

“We’re excited to try to get more fridges out there in the I.E.,” said Espinoza. We wanna make sure we’re doing the best that we can to keep [the Colton] fridge working — what works and what doesn’t work — before we get another fridge.”

Thanks to donations, IE Community Fridges has purchased two additional fridges, which will hopefully be installed in other cities soon.

Ideally, future fridges will be installed within bus access. “Anyone who’s willing to let us put [a fridge] on private property and plug it in can host a fridge,” says Dunlap. “That’s basically it.” IE Community Fridges will cover electricity costs using donations, and volunteers will oversee each fridge’s operations. “[Fundraising] has been slow, but steady,” said Dunlap. “We get regular funds, we get people do-

Obituar y Steven R. Noriega March 12, 1967 – January 3, 2021

S

teven was a long time resident of Colton, spent many years in Arcadia, and his last chapter in Yucaipa. Steven died on January 3, 2021 at Redlands Community Hospital due to COVID-19 with additional underlying issues. He loved music and his dogs Rocky (deceased) and Milo.

Steven was a devoted son, fun loving uncle, good friend, and the favorite brother. He always had a smile on his face, a listening ear, and was always willing to shoot the breeze no matter what time of the day of it was. He also really loved listening to music. His favorites being Old School Funk, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Selena.

Steven was born at St. Bernardine Medical Center in San Bernardino on March 12, 1967.

He attended Alice Birney Elementary School in Colton, and attended Cajon High School in San Bernardino. Steven spent several decades working as a medical biller. He was always dedicated to his job and sometimes found it hard to have to bill families for their invoices because he always felt bad for them. He had a huge heart.

Steven is survived by his mother nating food. And many of our prep volunteers buy their own supplies, so it’s been enough.” When they don’t have enough, Espinoza says, she and Dunlap donate as much as they can from their own pockets.

While Dunlap has done community work in the past, his work with IE Community Fridges is his first major collaboration with others. Originally from Northern California, Espinoza has organized for years. She says because some of her family members have experienced homelessness, and as a student herself is on a tight budget, she understands the need to feed people in her community.

Right now, the best way to support the work of Inland Empire Community Fridge is through donations of money and food. The money goes toward purchasing food and electricity for the Colton fridge and future fridges, as well as for hand sanitizer and gloves for volunteers.

Newsom rolls out Califor nia state budget, prioritizing education, vaccinations

C

alifornia Governor Gavin Newsom rolled out the 2021-22 state budget Jan. 8, a $227 billion proposal which prioritizes vaccinations, re-opening schools safely, support for small businesses, and direct cash payments for low-income people.

“Our budget reflects the realities of a pandemic-induced recession which has exacerbated decadeslong inequalities,” said Newsom.

“Income disparities have come to the fore, and our budget addresses those disparities.”

He noted that — even amid the pandemic — the state’s wealthy residents and blue-chip companies have thrived, bringing in unexpected revenue to the state’s coffers.

“Folks at the top are doing pretty damn well. But I don’t begrudge that success, I admire and respect it,” he said, adding that the budget reflects the need to re-calibrate the additional revenue into support for residents of the state hardest hit by the pandemic.

Addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor has proposed $372 million for vaccine distribution. Newsom noted that California currently has 2.5 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and will have delivered more than 1 million shots by Jan. 15. The state will roll out in-language PSAs Jan. 10 to inform diverse audiences about the benefits of getting vaccinated and how to do so.

Another $473 million has been set aside for contact tracing and testing.

$575 million has been proposed to help small businesses recover via grants of $5,000 to $25,000: small business owners can learn more about the program and apply online at covid19.ca.gov. Applications are due by Jan. 13.

Earlier in the week, the Governor rolled out the “Golden State Stimulus” proposal, a $5 billion plan to distribute $600 cash payments to 4 million low-income residents of the state using the architecture of the California Earned Income Tax Credit program. State lawmakers have already called for direct payments to be expanded, stating that $600 is too small a sum to support those who have lost their incomes amid the pandemic.

The state also plans to distribute $2.6 billion to renters to help with past-due rent, but Newsom said the state had not yet established a framework for how the funds would be distributed.

Newsom said one of his top priorities was safely opening schools as soon as possible, and has earmarked $90 billion for K-14 education, the highest amount in state history. $2 billion of that amount is for immediate action in returning students to in-person education. An additional $4.6 billion is budgeted to expand summer school, and before and afterschool programs, reflecting the reality of the state’s parents who are now working longer hours to sustain their households. Newsom said a greater level of funding has been set aside for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth.

“We have our eye on equality.

Kids are falling through the cracks,” he said. $400 million has been earmarked for Early Childhood Education, and $1.5 billion has been set aside for special education. Newsom noted that he was a special education student.

Another $786 million has been budgeted for UCs and CSUs: the former will receive $425 million, while the latter will receive $361 million. Of that amount, $100 million has been set aside to meet students’ basic needs such as food and housing, and another $30 million is dedicated to on-campus mental health programs. $250 million will support an expansion of the state’s college financial aid programs. The governor fervently stated his opposition to tuition increases.

undreds of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. last Wednesday, Jan. 6 following a speech the President delivered that can be construed as inciting the violence, telling supporters at a rally prior to the breach to “fight like hell” and to “take back our country.” The violence was a failed effort to disrupt the Electoral College vote count during a joint session of Congress and prevent the formalization of President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. It was hours later when the National Guard was allowed entry to the Capitol building to disperse the crowd.

Rep. Pete Aguilar, Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gomez Reyes and Assemblymember James D. Ramos issued statements condemning last week’s attack.

Rep. Aguilar: My staff and I are safe after a violent mob stormed the Capitol building (Wednesday).

These violent extremists—encouraged by President Trump’s lies about the election—attempted to undermine American Democracy by terrorizing lawmakers, law enforcement and employees working in the Capitol. I swore an oath to protect the Constitution

from enemies both foreign and domestic and I will not be deterred. I will continue to carry out my Constitutional obligation to certify the results of a free and fair election.

Majority Leader Reyes: Empty apologies after inciting a mob to breach the walls of our nation’s Capitol, are too little, too late.

Five people are dead. Countless are injured. And the sacred center of our nation’s democracy has been left scarred.

The events that unfolded in our nation’s Capitol when a proTrump mob stormed through the doors and scaled the walls, was a sad day for our democracy and a direct result of years of misinformation, poisonous ideology and a constant drumbeat of lies regarding our electoral system.

The direct assault on our democracy was witnessed by Americans and the whole world in disbelief.

But what has defined us and what will continue to define us is our resolve to move forward and work towards a more perfect union. The hallmarks of our democratic system are free and fair elections and the peaceful transition of power regardless of the election outcome. The forces of division and

Consequences to attack We c a l l e d f o r B i a n c o ’ s on Capitol must be severe What happened at the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday was an utter desecration of this country’s democratic processes and democracy by thousands of Trump supporters who breached the hallowed building that had only been attacked once in history, in 1814. Acts such as this cannot be allowed to stand.

The attempted coup was to prevent elected officials from performing their constitutional duty of counting electoral votes and confirming Joe Biden our next president. Rioters chanted “Stop the Steal” and “Hang Mike Pence,” as they overpowered their way into the National Statuary Hall while elected officials hurried to safety.

The violence was a result of months of lies purported by the president and his press secretary that insisted the election was somehow stolen from him as a result of widespread fraud in the election process. He incited the mob with seditious rhetoric mere hours before the riot, calling his supporters to march to the Capitol, “fight like hell,” and to “take back our country.”

Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani even went so far as to animatedly propose “Let’s have a trial by combat!” A robust call for violence.

Several ring leaders from last week’s act of domestic terrorism have been arrested, and should face the full extent of the law. If not, it will only serve to embolden the already combustible nature of these extremists who are planning multiple attacks at state capitols around

the country prior to Biden’s inauguration. For them, the fact that they were able to breach the Capitol is deemed a success.

If consequences are not swift and severe, it will act as a precedent, signalling events such as this assault on democracy is permissible. President Trump must be held accountable for inciting insurrection with his monthslong litany of lies that the election was corrupted. Many Republican elected officials who participated in the rigorous repeating of those lies questioning the legitimacy of the election, and those who continued to support overturning the electoral votes in the hours following the horrific breach should also be held accountable.

They all participated in a conspiracy to undermine public confidence in the democratic process, to question Joe Biden’s victory in an effort to keep a despot in office.

Is this the new Republican Party? A party that will endeavor to suppress voting and question the legitimacy of votes should it not be in their favor? This goes against all that is democratic. All that is American.

Is this the beginning or the end of a divided America? Consequences must be swift and severe that sends a message that insurrection, misinformation and an unchecked president will not be tolerated in this country.

resignation, here’s why:

On December 19, 2020, at 12:27 PM, we called for Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco's resignation following the murder of Ernie "Teddy" Serrano at the hands of his deputies at a Stater Brothers in Jurupa Valley, CA. After trotting around the national circuit, visiting right-wing news networks, and using his influence to advocate for the continued neglect of Riverside County public health orders, Bianco responded to us with, "I waited to respond until I knew all the facts. Acute Methamphetamine intoxication resulting in a heart attack is not even close to murder. You should be ashamed of yourselves for a community action organization to misrepresent such a tragedy. I'll wait for the retraction".

However, the elected Sheriff's actions to insulate their department from being held accountable to the community in the aftermath of the outrage following the murder of Ernie Serrano makes our demand more urgent than ever. We reaffirm our request for Sheriff Bianco's resignation. His dereliction of duty and ongoing gross negligence of leadership has led to ongoing deaths and use of force lawsuits costing Riverside County taxpayers $9.7 million in 2018. In fact, the city of Jurupa Valley would be better served by ending its contract with the Riverside County Sheriff's department and developing a locally controlled agency. An agency that protects residents while reflecting the community's diversity. The city of Jurupa Valley, which already struggles to breathe clean air, should invest their tax dollars for adequate public safety, not choked and asphyxiated by Bianco's deputies.

For months, community activists have repeatedly told the County of Riverside Board of Supervisors to consider how systemic racism leads to disproportionate impacts on Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) communities.

Still, it fell on deaf ears at board meetings and the community listening sessions, where these concerns were swept under the rug to be forgotten. We remember vividly, Chairman V. Manuel Perez, District 5, made a motion on May 25 for the county sheriff's department to review its policies and report back to the board. It failed to get a second, and today, another family is in mourning due to this negligence. The same Sheriff refusing to hold a review of his department's policy for accountability is claiming no wrong-doing before the end of an investigation on a death at the hands of his deputies.

Plainly, the systems that roll back water quality regulations for corporate interests, place warehouses in our communities, and dirty trucks next to our schools to pollute our children's lungs - are the same systems that have allowed COVID-19 to kill BIPOC communities at a higher rate. As it stands, the Inland Empire is one of the hottest zones of the pandemic in California. From the top 50 districts with the highest rates of COVID-19 cases, "about half of them were in the Inland Empire, including Riverside," showing the lethal consequences of Sheriff Bianco's failure to enforce any guidelines.

It is this very system that takes the lives of Black and Brown people in broad daylight —whether it's a carotid choke that killed George Floyd or a blue glove pressing against Serrano's neck— it is this same system that tells our communities it has no regard for our lungs or our lives.

In the Inland Empire, breathing is a luxury considering the impacts of COVID-19 are exacerbated when combined with exposure to particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5).

Sheriff Bianco ignores the science and tells us not to listen to the advice of experts. He is now telling us that Ernie died due to his lungs' size leading to a heart attack, but

he did not mention the moments of the body-worn camera that shows Ernie's chest being pressed aggressively against the cashier stand. Bianco purposely omits the deputies' inaction as Ernie begs, through pain and fear, to be let go as they continue to smash his lungs onto the counter with little regard for his comfort.

Racism is not only centered on acts of aggression or direct violence, but it is codified in policy and the systems that manifest slow and silent harm to marginalized communities. The same communities grieving Ernie Serrano do not get breaks; instead, their suffrage is commodified and underlined with industry's egregiousness. As deputies' batons are beating them, they're also being robbed by greedy corporations.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Sheriff Bianco has shown himself to care more for political theatrics than the lives of the same communities he is elected to serve. Like anyone else, a sheriff has to be held accountable for the criminal neglect of black and brown lives that constitutes the dismal state of affairs here in the Inland Region. The systemic racism that insulates the few's actions from the demands of the many must end. As residents of the Inland Empire, we demand the resignation of Sheriff Bianco.

Kneeling with protestors during Black Lives Matter protests in downtown Riverside was a good photo opportunity, but justifying the brutal beating of Ernie Serrano is, in Sheriff Bianco's own words, typical "do as I say, not as I do" behavior. We need to eradicate racism in the environment and the justice system.

Inlandia and Riverside Art Museum present Around the World First Sundays

nlandia Institute and the Riverside Art Museum are pleased to announce a delightful new First Sundays storytelling and puppetry series from Around the World with Karen & Nicole. Our “Wintering into Spring” schedule began January 3 and continues through May 2.

Master puppeteer Nicole Cloeren joins beloved storyteller Karen Rae Kraut for a powerful mix of interactive storytelling and puppetry. Karen’s stories and Nicole’s puppets will open your eyes to new ways of interpreting the world – and open your hearts to a powerful form of play.

Our Sunday, January 3, event, “Look Back and See,” is now available for viewing on the Inlandia Institute YouTube channel: https://tinyurl.com/InlandiaYouTube. In this folktale from Tanzania, Karen and Nicole invite the audience into a village that has always been in darkness – and really needs some light! Messengers are sent to buy some dawn, but the results are disappointing until help arrives in an unexpected way.

Our upcoming Sunday, February 2, offering is a tale from Japan called “Hats for the Jizos.” In this heartwarming traditional kamishibai (paper theatre) story, an old man has an act of generosity mysteriously and richly rewarded. Kamishibai is a form of

street theater that was beloved in Japan during the Great Depression of the 1930s and after World War II. Its popularity faded as television took its place. RSVP: tinyurl.com/aroundtheworldstory5 Sunday, March 7, brings “Heart Full of Turquoise” from the Pueblo People of the American Southwest. In this story, a medicine woman must protect her people from starvation when a giant tries to rob them of all the food they have carefully harvested for the winter.

RSVP: tinyurl.com/aroundtheworldstory6 Join us on Sunday, April 4, for another tale from Japan, “Tasty Baby Belly Buttons.” Discover how the Watermelon Princess, a little girl born from a watermelon, along with her animal companions, helps babies keep their belly buttons when the dreaded Oni try to steal them.

RSVP: tinyurl.com/aroundtheworldstory7

And finally, on Sunday, May 2, our Wintering into Spring lineup concludes with “The Fifth Sun” an Aztec creation story from Mexico.

For four consecutive tries, the Aztec gods have failed to put the sun and moon up in the sky. Will they succeed with the fifth sun?

RSVP: tinyurl.com/aroundtheworldstory8 Karen Rae Kraut has been blending story, song and creative movement in schools, libraries, museums, and theaters from California to East Tennessee since 1990. She has toured for the Smithsonian, and was commissioned by the McCallum Theatre to create a storyteller’s version of Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

Karen’s CD, Cooler Water Cora and Other Stories, is the winner of an iParenting Media Award for Audio Excellence and a National Parenting Publications Honors

Award. She has performed for Riverside’s First Sundays program since its inception in 1997.

Nicole Cloeren is the founder of Puppets a la Carte, where she uses puppets and techniques of improvisation to create a space of surprise

and wonder in which we can all learn from one another. She is a resident artist at Riverside Studios, has performed with puppets at numerous indoor, outdoor, and online events around Southern California, and loves partnering with other artists.
