LBPD interfered peaceful protesters by blocking Pine Ave. About 30 LBPD officers formed skirmish lines to prevent protesters from walking through. Beyond the officers were an estimated 17 LBPD vehicles. Protesters continued to keep it peaceful by sitting, kneeling or standing in place.

The protest against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death by the Minneapolis Police Department was organized with the intention of being peaceful. And it was peaceful, until the

cops interfered.

Initially the peaceful protest was scheduled to begin at 3pm. on Sunday, May 31 in front of the Long Beach Police Department Headquarters at 400 West Broadway in downtown Long Beach.

However, when the city found out, they sent out crews overnight to set up what appeared to be the Grand-Prix barriers, all around the perimeter of the downtown

LBPD station.

More than 3,000 people marched through the streets of downtown Long Beach, calling out police brutality and remembering George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, two black individuals who were killed by police.

With trash bags and brooms in hand, Long Beach residents filed down the streets of downtown at 7am to clean up the aftermath of last night’s looting.

The protest, which began peacefully, escalated as looters

took advantage of the disorder.

Businesses around downtown bore broken windows, some filled with merchandise strewn across the floor.

Protests erupted all over the country this week after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin asphyxiated

him by kneeling on his neck. Cities across the country have been faced with vandalism and looting that intensified at nightfall.

In an attempt to help business owners affected by the damage, the Downtown Long Beach Alliance organized a cleanup effort.

In hospital settings that are dominated by white health care providers, the complaints and concerns of black people and other women of color are often dismissed as dramatics. People of color can also find similar issues with white doulas.

The dismissal of potentially deadly problems reported by black women to doctors and nurses are thought to contribute to a pregnancy related mortality rate that is double to triple that of white women, as found by a CDC report.

“These disparities are devastating for families and communities and we must work to eliminate them,” Emily Petersen, M.D., medical officer at CDC’s Division of Reproductive Health and lead author of the CDC report, said in a press release.

“There is an urgent need to identify and evaluate the complex factors contributing to these disparities and to design interventions that will reduce preventable pregnancy-related deaths.”

There were 1,059 pregnancy related deaths reported in California between 2002 and 2007, according to The California Pregnancy-Assosee DOULAS page 8

SH City Council considers raising taxes during budget workshop

Reserve funds will help cover COVID-19 revenue shortfall, but long-term ‘structural deficit’ continues to threaten Signal Hill finances, officials say.

Anita W. Harris Staff Writer

The Signal Hill City Council conducted its annual public budgeting workshop on May 28, reviewing the City’s preliminary budget for the next two fiscal years starting on July 1.

A final 2020-2022 budget will be up for council approval on June 23 and will include other expenses the council discussed related to the police department, community services and consulting costs for assessing the cannabis industry and increasing the sales-tax rate through a ballot measure.

TAX EXTENSION?

Shin-Heydorn informed the council in a memo introducing next year’s budget.

The City will need to draw on its reserve funds to help cover a $2 million shortfall in next year’s 2020-2021 budget because of reduced revenue projections and higher expenses, Deputy Finance Director Sharon del Rosario said during the workshop.

The budget projects lower sales-tax revenue based on decreased auto and restaurant sales due to COVID-19-related closures, del Rosario said. The City also projects lower property-tax revenue due to potential delinquencies.

“Sales tax represents the largest of our revenue sources at 65%,” del Rosario said. “Property tax is at 10%” The City is conservatively assuming a longer economic rebound period, del Rosario said, projecting a total revenue of $20.1 million for the next year and $22.1 million in expenses.

The following year’s 2021-2022 budget shows a similar imbalance of $1.8 million. ​ “We are in uncharted territory with regard to the current economic landscape,” del Rosario said.

To make up next year’s budget shortfall, each municipal department reduced its projected expenses line-by-line to cut $700,000, del Rosario said. However, higher insurance obligations of $600,000 offset most of those potential savings.

The City was able to further reduce its expense budget by $1.1 million by cutting employee-related costs, including furloughing workers, freezing new hires, and reducing cost-of-living adjustments and health benefits, del Rosario said.

The City will transfer $880,000 from its reserves to its operating fund to cover the remaining budget imbalance, mostly drawing $760,000 from its “rainy day” Economic Uncertainty Fund–

which reduces that reserve by 16%– and two insurance funds.

Though those funds are being used to balance the budget and also pay for infrastructure improvements, del Rosario said the City is in good financial shape in terms of reserves.

“The Economic Uncertainty [Fund] with the General Fund ‘unassigned’ balance makes up 72% of operating expenditures, which still meets our strategic target of 50%,” del Rosario said.

However, insurance payments, pensions and other obligated costs continue to increase, del Rosario added.

The State’s mandated hourly-rate increase to $14 per hour as of Jan. 1, 2021 is among those costs, as are city-service costs that increase annually according to the contract, such as for street sweeping, trash collection and landscaping, del Rosario said.

She added that premiums for liability, property and workers-compensation insurance are also expected to increase by 17% or $1.9 million. And because CalPERS pension costs are partially covered by market investments, which have been affected by the recent downturn, the City’s

portion of those costs may increase.

The City’s unfunded accrued-liability (UAL)– the difference between projected pension-plan benefits and its assets’ current market value– is also increasing over time, del Rosario said.

All those obligations are creating a longer-term budget imbalance, with expenses projected to outpace revenue over the next five years, continued a trend that began four years ago, del Rosario said.

“We are headed toward a future structural deficit, which has now been amplified by the impact of COVID-19,” she said.

Increasing revenue To help make up the revenue shortfall, the council discussed adding a ¾-cent increase to Signal Hill’s current sales-tax rate as a ballot measure. If more than half of Signal Hill voters approve, the city’s sales tax would increase from its current rate of 9.5% to 10.25%, the highest allowed under State law.

Signal Hill currently gets 1% of its current 9.5% sales tax, Shin-Heydorn said. If approved, see SH COUNCIL page 4

LETTERS, EMAILS, WEBSITE COMMENTS AND STATEMENTS

No Curfews for COVID? The cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as the whole county of LA enacted curfews this week in response to the protests against police brutality and the murder of George Floyd. Officials claimed the curfews were set to protect people and property that were being hurt and damaged once the protests turned violent.

Although I would very much like to address the protests, I will try to stick to the curfews.

The first curfew in Long Beach was enacted on Sunday, May 31 prior to the escalation of aggression in downtown. Officials claimed it was to keep people safe from any violence and to try to prevent looting, but we all know what it was about. They wanted to arrest protesters and curtail our first amendment rights to free speech.

The sequence of events of that night were documented live on Twitter, and the documentation proves that the LBPD purposely cornered protesters and prevented them from leaving before the curfew hit. They purposely tried to keep protesters outside past curfew so they could arrest them.

Over the next few days, curfews were continually enacted and heavily enforced. People were not allowed to travel outside, with few exceptions, and bus routes were shut down extraordinarily early. At some point, Long Beach Police Chief Luna stated that curfews were “voluntary,” but if caught outside you would be subject to fine or arrest. How can anything be voluntary if there is a risk of penalization? A contradictory statement if I ever heard one, but I digress. The guise behind the curfews is public safety. But where was this concern for public safety when the pandemic hit? When infection rates were climbing at alarming rates in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and all of LA County, where was this hammer-like authority to preserve the “health and safety” of our communities?

When low-income, black and brown communities were being hit with the highest rates of infection, where was Mayor Garcia with his concern for our well-being? Infection rates continue to rise in ALL of Los Angeles County, includ-

ing our very own Long Beach.

Yet, Garcia and Long Beach City Council moved forward with plans last week to re-open more and more businesses, without a real regard for the health and safety of those populations who have been hit the hardest. This was due to their overwhelming concern for the economy.

However, when their actions and their authorities were called into question, Garcia, Garcetti, and all of LA County were swift in shutting down entire cities well before regular business hours and for several days straight. Where was this kind of intervention when we needed it most? It was virtually non-existent. When infection rates were at their worst, people continued to gather outside at all hours with no masks and no concern for social distancing.

When the panic hit our region, grocery stores were ransacked and essential, but underpaid (minimum wage), workers were left to try and maintain order on their own. Intervention was minimal, vague, and left largely to interpretation. When the City of Long Beach decided to enact and enforce their curfew on Sunday afternoon in the midst of a protest advocating for black lives, they made one thing very clear to the rest of us: the need to protect property is more important than the need to protect our lives.

I am a Long Beach native. I have lived here my entire life.

When my family first immigrated to the U.S. from Guatemala two generations ago, they made their new lives in this city. We have strong roots in Long Beach and we care very much about our people, but I am greatly disappointed in how inadequately Mayor Garcia and the whole of Long Beach City Council have addressed the concerns of the people. From a severe deficit of affordable housing to a gross misspending of public funds, Robert Garcia has proven himself time and again to be against the interests of his constituents, and I for one have had enough.

Comments in response to the Long Beach City Council Cancellation via Instagram “Lame, they couldn’t do a zoom? Or do they need more time to make up an excuse for their failure” @Thizzhorsey “Garcia has a history of silencing those who try to speak out against him. They’re afraid and are finding any and every way to suppress black voices and POC activism.” @engaged.communitylb “‘Everything happening’ is a bit vague. What is preventing this? Just say it.”

Property over people Dear Editor and to whom else it may concern: I am NOT voiceless in this country. I am ignored in this country. I am judged, discriminated against, and oppressed in this country. I do not need people to speak up for me. I have a voice of my own and I will use it to speak up for myself. I honor those who stand with me for change within the Black community across America.

I have been black in America for 28 years of my life. I have been followed around the store in a mall. I have been ignored on multiple occasions, in different restaurants, waiting for service, waiting for refills, waiting for my food. I’ve been told that a store is out of my price range and I would be better off at Walmart. I have been stared at by the cops in a public park, as I walk to my car. My very existence has been threatened for simply being a black student in America.

I have seen movie, after movie, after movie, depicting the “history” of race that generations before me fought to eradicate. That black men, once strangers, are now notorious because of the way they died by the hands of police officers that are still walking around with their freedom.

Meanwhile, my people are tossed and lost in the criminal system, many for non-violent offenses, and left there to be treated as the new slaves. My tears are endless. My fears are ever growing that my black friends and family may never make it home again.

My anger grows because for YEARS this has been our reality, and we’ve been thrown every excuse in the book! It’s time to remind the world, that THIS STRUGGLE has been our struggle since we were forcibly sold and brought to this country! I speak up, so that my kids don’t have to feel nervous and scared when they see the police. So that they don’t have to worry about making themselves assimilate into the dominant culture of society to feel accepted by their friends. So that we don’t have to have the talk about why I may not come home one day, about why we are being treated as threats in public, about why kids are making fun of their hair or their skin tones, about why another black man, black woman, were murdered by the hands of the police.

I am tired of feeling hopeless, feeling tired, feeling disgusted by the way my community is treated in a place we call home! Our time is NOW! Enough is enough. My friend’s lives matter! My family’s lives matter.! MY LIFE MATTERS! And until America changes the systematic racism to match the backbone of this country; equality and democracy for all, we will not stop marching, we will not stop fighting, we will not rest until we are given what we are owed!

Briana Hicks Former Long Beach Resident

Irresponsible LB government Dear Editor, The irresponsible lack of decisiveness by Mayor Garcia and LBPD Chief Luna is directly responsible for many Long Beach businesses being looted and destroyed. How can they claim that they weren’t aware of the possibilities when they put in extreme measures to keep City Hall and the police department building safe with barriers?!

Even though the Sheriff of Los Angeles County proclaimed a curfew at 6pm. on Sunday night, Garcia and Luna dilly-dallied around to an 8pm. curfew. How many businesses could have been saved?!

They could have limited the protest demonstration time, or engaged in substantial pre-planning, or called in mutual aid and the National Guard as backup much earlier, or punctured the tires of getaway vehicles and confiscated them, or exercised a myriad of other measures available to them. Instead, when the inevitable violence and looting evolved, the well-paid police force just stood by and watched all the while proclaiming an empty victory.

This, people, is your taxpayer dollars NOT at work. Remember that at the voting polls next Nov. Diana Lejins Long Beach Resident

Long Beach City Council cancels weekly council meeting in the wake of weekend protests

continued from page 1

Daniel Green Production Manager

In response to the looting incidents across Long Beach on Sunday, May 31, the Long Beach City Council decided to postpone its weekly meeting.

The councilmembers discussed the cancellation late Monday evening and decided to resume the meeting on Tuesday, June 9.

In an e-mail response to the Signal Tribune, Ed Kamlan of the City’s Joint Information Center stated that the “June 2 City Council meeting was canceled to allow the City team to focus on issues associated with the civil unrest.”

He also added that the items

community back together to recover and show solidarity for our local businesses that were vandalized last night,” Long Beach Alliance communications manager Samantha Mehlinger said.

“We stand with the protestors, the peaceful protestors. Absolutely behind them and what they’re trying to accomplish, but we condemn the outside elements that came in yesterday to hijack that message and vandalize our downtown. “ With the help of the city’s public works program, they distributed gloves, brooms and trash bags to volunteers. By 7:30am, five waves of volunteers had been directed to different areas of downtown.

Robert McClain was one of those volunteers. He didn’t attend the protests, but drove down to Long Beach from Lakewood to help clean up.

“I saw how ugly it was last night and just wanted to help out in any way I could,” McClain said while sweeping broken glass from a window. “You feel kind of useless when you’re at home watching it.”

Many volunteers expressed similar sentiments. Though many of those cleaning didn’t attend the protests themselves, they wanted to contribute to the cleanup effort.

“I think protests are important for people to show solidarity with those directly affected and indirectly affected,” Lauryn Westbrook, a black Long Beach resident, said. “This is my community and of course I don’t want to see it destroyed or damaged, but obviously people don’t want to see their people losing their lives, so it’s kind of a price that is paid when we’re living in a system that’s really messed up.”

Marie Deary is a black business owner who owns a wealth management office on Long Beach Boulevard. When she saw that vandalism and looting had begun, she came downtown to check on her business.

“I just think it’s sad. It’s anger and it’s not knowing how to channel that anger into something positive,” Deary said. “The level of destruction, it’s unbelievable.”

Deary has owned businesses in Long Beach for over a decade, including multiple bookstores in downtown Long Beach. She said that she’s scared for her fellow Long Beach business owners, especially after the financial strain caused by the outbreak of COVID-19.

“We as business owners put all our life into that business. We put everything, and we may not even have insurance,” Deary said. “We

for this week would likely be part of the meeting agenda for the June 9 meeting.

The looting that occurred on Sunday was separate from the peaceful protests that were organized after the death of George Floyd, an unresisting black man who was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department on May 25.

One of the districts hit hardest by the vandalism was District One, in the downtown Long Beach area, which is represented by Latina Councilmember Mary Zendejas.

In a phone interview with the Signal Tribune, Zendejas confirmed that councilmembers see LB Council page 8

had to close our businesses for COVID-19, and now is the time when we’re thinking ‘Oh god, yes we’re going to open up now,” and then they have to deal with this.”

As volunteers picked up broken glass and debris, garbage bags piled up along the corners of streets. Mario Gonzalez, who moved to Long Beach a week ago, teamed up with two other volunteers and loaded a pickup truck with trash bags.

“I understand both sides,” Gonzalez said as he loaded trash bags into the back of a garbage truck.

“I understand why people are frustrated. I’ve been discriminated against myself. But you know what, there’s a way to do things peacefully. They say the pen is stronger than the sword.”

While some blame the protestors for the looting, others believe that looters belong to a separate category.

“The protest is one thing. The people who vandalize, these are not the protestors,” Deary said. “Because the protestors are good people. They are just angry at things and they want to see change. But this is not the work of protestors. You can’t put it in the same category.”

the increase could generate an additional $4 million to $5 million per year, she said.​ Shin-Heydorn noted that Long Beach and most other surrounding cities have salestax rates of 10.25%. Only Commerce and Downey have lower rates, at 10% each.

The council agreed to add an additional $70,000 to next year’s budget to hire a communications consultant to educate residents on the measure. It also agreed to budget $20,000 to pay Los Angeles County to hold a place on the ballot for the measure. Both expenses will come out of the city’s Economic Development Reserve, Shin-Heydorn said.

She told the council that according to a city survey earlier this year, about 60% of Signal Hill residents said they would approve such a ballot measure. Residents were most interested in the funds being used to maintain streets, sidewalks and park facilities, she added.

The council also agreed to budget an additional $40,000 for a consultant to assess the revenue impact of allowing cannabis businesses to operate in the city. That expense

will also come out of the Economic Development Reserve, Shin-Heydorn said.

Councilmember Edward Wilson, who noted that he works for a cannabis cultivator in Long Beach, said that since retail sales have been increasingly moving online, raising the sales-tax rate may not generate enough income for the city.

“It will provide a bump for us for a few years, but ultimately we still need to diversify our revenue base,” he said.

All council members agreed to budget the cannabis-consultant expense except Vice Mayor Tina Hansen.

The public will have an opportunity to comment on the updated budget at the council’s June 23 meeting before it votes to implement the budget on July 1.

The next regular Signal Hill City Council meeting will take place virtually Tuesday, June 9 at 7pm. For information on accessing and participating in the meeting, visit the council’s webpage.

We are open for take-out and dine-in.

Chestnut, to Cherry Avenue and came back on Ocean, chanting Floyd’s last words, “I can’t breathe,” before Derek Chauvin, former officer for the Minneapolis Police Department, caused Floyd to die due to asphyxiation, by kneeling on his neck for almost nine minutes.

At the intersection on Ocean Boulevard and Alamitos, almost everybody took a knee and had a powerful moment of silence in solidarity.

Due to the massive amount of protesters, many broke off into smaller groups, some continuing to march back to Broadway, others stopping to refuel amidst the 80-plus degree weather. Many community members were waiting on the sidelines with water and snacks to provide the protesters with.

They marched through traffic on Ocean Boulevard and Long Beach Boulevard where multiple cars honked in solidarity.

Around this time is when an emergency alert notified residents that an 8pm curfew was now being implemented by the City as a state of emergency was declared.

On the intersection of Pine Avenue and 3rd Street it was a different story. About 30 Long Beach Police Department officers formed skirmish lines to prevent protesters from walking through.

Beyond the officers were an estimated 17 LBPD vehicles. Protesters continued to keep it peaceful by sitting, kneeling or standing in place. The time was around 5:30pm It was then that another emergency alert went out stating that the curfew was now moved to 6:00pm.

The police intercom delivered a message, “I am a police officer for the City of Long Beach, I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly and in the name of the people of the state of California I command those assembled to immediately disperse which means to break up this assembly and leave the area. If you do not do so, you may be arrested or subject to police action. Police action could include the use of force which may result in serious injury…This force may include but is not limited to the use of impact weapons, the deployment of an electronic control device or chemical agent, or a bite from a police dog”.

The protesters continued to wait until after 6pm when the LBPD began moving towards them, warning them that if they didn’t disperse, they would be arrested.

LBPD eventually drove them out.

At the same time, looters began hitting several businesses in The Pike Outlets and the City Place Shopping Center. Many peaceful protesters ran to create human barricades to prevent the looters from breaking into the businesses but they were not able to protect all.

Meanwhile LBPD had blocked in protesters on Pine Avenue and 3rd Street from all directions, North, West, South and East.

The protesters remained largely peaceful, other than some individuals in the crowd who let off fireworks aimed at officers.

The protesters yelled at them to stop, that this was supposed to be peaceful protest.

A black man stood with his child on his shoulders in front of the police, although they did not shoot them, multiple cops had their guns raised at them. An important note, not all LBPD had body cameras on them.

Tensions grew higher as people from the condo buildings upstairs on the corner began throwing objects down, some hitting the peaceful protesters, others almost hitting police. Protesters attempted to keep the peace by blocking objects thrown at LBPD by the ill-intent individuals by using their signs.

LBPD began shooting towards the general direction where objects were thrown from by individuals who had different intentions than the peaceful protesters frown what the Signal Tribune witnessed specifically occur at Pine Ave. and Broadway around 6pm on Sunday, May 31. Police

were shooting rubber bullets. The cops were also carrying handguns and batons but those were not shot at the time and location where the Signal Tribune was located at.

One of the rubber bullets almost hit one of our reporters, Kristen Farrah Naeem.

Reporter Adolfo Guzman-Lopez, with KPCC, was struck in the neck by one of the rubber bullets. He is okay as of Monday, June 1, as his windpipe was not damaged.

Being that we witnessed members of the media not being exempt from harm, the Signal Tribune attempted to find safer ground as we were narrowly missed by a firework thrown at us by an individual with ill-intent, causing even more police to shoot into the crowd.

As more LBPD vehicles and officers began boxing everyone in, many made a run towards the alleys by the Promenade to get to 3rd Street. It was here where another skirmish line had been formed by police officers being backed up by 10 cop cars and an LBPD SWAT team vehicle.

The Signal Tribune had used its own transportation but the vehicle was behind the skirmish line, with police not allowing anyone to pass them. An LBPD officer brought out his K-9 and began approaching us so we found higher ground at the top floor of parking structure C along with other civilians.

The motorcade of police vehicles along with the SWAT vehicle continued to go down 3rd Street to Pine Avenue where the rest of

the peace protesters remained.

LBPD then began making movement towards the top floor where we were. With the skirmish lines and motorcade having passed our vehicle we decided to make a run for the car.

It was now around 7:30pm, driving by the City Place Shopping Center, looters were breaking into multiple businesses in the Promenade including Jean Machine, Mark Schneider Fine Jewelry, Sally’s Beauty Supply and more.

It is important to note that many of the looters were from cities outside of Long Beach.

There were no LBPD in sight, instead it was multiple protesters and Long Beach locals who attempted to stop the out-of-town looters and drive them out. Other local business owners stood in front of their businesses to defend them. Although many businesses boarded up their spaces for protection, looters tore of the boards and continued to break in.

The locals and the protesters were not able to stop it all. Looters ran out of stores into awaiting cars, speeding with their vehicles onto the sidewalk to get through traffic as it was announced that mutual police aid from surrounding cities and the sheriff’s department were on their way. The speeding combined with people in the street and the traffic jams causing multiple minor car crash-

es.

At this time it was around 8pm, multiple mom and pop shops around the city were now being looted in neighborhoods including Cambodia Town, Wrigley, Bixby Knolls, California Heights, the North side and more.

The National Guard troops were called in for assistance and about 75 arrests were made that day. Structural fires and stabbings were reported throughout the night as ambulances and fire engine sirens wailed until daytime Monday, June 1.

While most mainstream and big broadcast media mainly showcased the break-ins and grouped the looters and the peaceful protesters into one group, it is important to remember that the peaceful protesters were separate from the looters and in actuality attempted to prevent them from robbing while the police were busy boxing in the protesters on Pine Ave. The same peaceful protesters, along with hundreds of community members, had gathered by early Monday morning to clean up areas in Long Beach that had been destroyed.

A GoFundMe’s has been created by localist group The Daily Diddi to help rebuild Long Beach, raising over $20,000 as of publishing time.

LB Council continued from page 4

decided to postpone the meeting due to the lack of uncertainty that followed Sunday’s events.

In the aftermath of the protests, Zendejas’ office received a wave of phone calls from residents who were unhappy with what happened, including those who attended the protests.

“I had a lot of people calling me from my district who were protesting [and] were so upset about what happened afterward because they felt that this beautiful protest was overshadowed by the bad things that happened later on that night,” Zendejas said.

To aid small businesses that were affected by the looting, Zendejas is working within her district to find ways to allocate grants and loans for businesses, hoping the Council can find a way to help as well.

“I really hope that we can help businesses that were looted and that we can work with our police department to ensure that we learn from this,” Zendejas said. “So, that we can move forward from this and not let this happen in our city and better prepared for anything like this in the future.”

ciated Mortality Review Report from 2002 to 2007, paid for in part by the California Department of Public Health. Pregnancy related deaths refer to deaths that occur during pregnancy or within one year of giving birth, regardless of cause.

Although black people account for only 5% of California’s population, they made up 21% of the pregnancy related deaths reported in the state.

With the risk of dying due to pregnancy or birth being significantly higher for Black, Native American and Alaskan Native women in the US, some are turning to birth doulas of the same cultural background to act as both a guide and advocate for them during their birthing plan. Locally, the Long Beach based Birth Workers of Color Collective is connecting clients to doulas whose practices and backgrounds resonate with them culturally.

A doula is someone trained to provide both physical and emotional support during pregnancy, birth and afterwards. Their role can include guiding mothers in labor through breathing exercises, recommending body positions to shorten labor, teaching lactation techniques and much more. “This collective was formed in response to the birth and health disparities that people of color face during pregnancy,� Birth Worker of Color co-founder Stevie Merino told the Signal Tribune, “the lack of representation of doulas/birthworkers of color in the mainstream doula community, and the appropriation of traditions around pregnancy/ birth/postpartum. The mission of this collective of birth workers is to reclaim our medicine, share our knowledge with our community, and heal. Together, we are bringing unique skills, resources and experiences to our work as birth workers, healers and people of color.�

To make doula care available to individuals of different economic standing, the Birth Workers of Color Collective charges clients on a sliding scale.

The Maternal CARE Act was introduced to the senate by California Senator Kamala D. Harris in 2018 to provide grant money to train healthcare workers, especially those involved in pregnancy and birth, against implicit bias. “Pervasive racial bias against

black women and unequal treatment of black women exist in the health care system,� the Maternal CARE Act states, “often resulting in inadequate treatment for pain and dismissal of cultural norms with respect to health.

A 2016 study by University of Virginia researchers found that white medical students and residents often believed biological myths about racial differences in patients, including that black patients have less-sensitive nerve endings and thicker skin than their white counterparts. Providers, however, are not consistently required to undergo implicit bias, cultural competency, or empathy training.�

The Maternal CARE Act was read twice to the senate and then recommended to the Committee on Finance. This was the last recorded action on the bill, and was recorded on August 22, 2018.

Long Beach’s black babies have also been reported as dying within the first year of life at higher rates than babies of other races in the city. According to a Community Health Assessment by the City of Long Beach’s Health and Human Services Department in July 2013, black babies in Long Beach died at a higher rate than Asian and Hispanic babies every year from 1998 to 2008. The mortality rate for black babies under one year old was also higher than both the state of California’s and the city of Long Beach’s average during this time period.

Long Beach’s infant mortality rate for the general population was 4.7 deaths per 1000 live births between 2003 and 2004.

This was even lower than the state of California’s average of 5.3 infant deaths per 1000 live births.

In contrast, the highest rate of infant mortality in Long Beach’s black community during the 10 year period occurred during this same time period. By the end of 2004, an average of 11.2 black infants per 1000 live births died before their first birthday in the city that year.

Black mothers were also recorded as having a higher rate of premature babies every year between 1998 and 2018.

With the additional hazards black mothers and their babies face during pregnancy, a doula that relates and empathizes with them can be an important resource.

The Birthworkers of Color Collective has been providing doula training to and for people of color since 2017. The Long Beach doula collective has trained over 100 doulas since then. All its members attend training provided by the collective, to ensure all members have the same foundational knowledge. This training is augmented by each individual doula’s approach, unique experiences, skills and traditions.

Roles similar to that of doula have been part of multiple cultures’ birthing traditions for thousands of years.

However, due to hospital restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, expectant mothers now have to choose between having either their partner or doula present with them during labor. Hospitals across LA County are only allowing mothers in delivery rooms to have one guest, and doulas are not considered part of the medical staff. “Some of our doulas have switched predominately to virtual support,� Merino said, “and others have decided to stop offering services altogether as many potential clients would prefer in person support and hospital policies are forcing them to not have thatSPRINGTIME option. A few of our doulas who are still supporting in perSAVINGS son have actually had clients intentionally choose to have them Lock in your price at the birth, rather than a famibefore May 10th.

ly member or partner, because of the educational & advocacy component and navigating the hospitals during this time.�

Some hospitals are also requiring that even doulas who attend a birth as a guest produce certification of some sort, despite there currently being no standard certification program or regulating body for doulas. “Our doulas are just as equipped, just as skilled, and just as trained as certified doulas,�

Merino told the Signal Tribune, “the only thing that is different is a piece of paper. Unlike many trainings that offer certification— our doulas have access to continued mentorship, education, and monthly meetings/skill building, and they have an entire community of birthworkers to turn to— one can argue that they may be even more equipped in many instances. So the question is who are these requirements for? Who do they benefit? Who are they harming? People of color and marginalized communities experience the most disparities and many especially in recent years have become more disgruntled at the medical industrial complex leading them to seek alternatives to care and

doula support. We know from research that having care providers/support that look like us can drastically improve our health outcomes—if doulas of color are the ones experiencing the most barriers from these new, possibly long term policies past the pandemic, birthing people of color will again be the most impacted.�

Doulas belonging to the Birthworkers of Color Collective can provide support and services for all pregnancy outcomes including birth, loss, abortion, miscarriage and more. The collective also provides childbirth education, postpartum and lactation services, as well as different healing and traditional modalities.
