    Next Week, CaliforniaVoters Could Get Rid of Cash

    Bail Statewide

    Are You and Your ChildStruggling wit Math?

    By Quinci LeGardye | California Black Media

    As cities across Cali-fornia take a closer look at unfair practices in the criminal justice system, Proposition 25 offers a statewide policy that could aid their efforts: getting rid of cash bail. The ballot measure, which is based on SB 10, a bill former Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law two years ago, would re-place cash bail with risk assessments for suspects awaiting trial. Currently California uses a cash bail system that allows suspects to pay a cash bond to be released from jail with the promise to return to court for trial, at which point the cash bond is repaid. If Prop 25 pass-

    es, cash bail would be replaced with a risk as-sessment system that categorizes suspects as low risk, medium risk, or high risk, with sus-pects for misdemeanors exempt from needing a risk assessment. Under the new system, suspects who are cat-egorized as low risk and likely to appear in court – and are also a low risk to society -- would be released from jail before trial, and those deemed high risk would remain in jail. The state Judicial Council would decide what the risk assessment tools would be, with the proposition mandating that “tools shall be dem-onstrated by scientific

    research to be accurate and reliable.” The California Leg-islature approved SB 10 during the 2018 ses-sion, and former Gov. Jerry Brown signed it into law on Aug. 28 that same year. The next day, opponents filed a refer-endum to overturn the bill, which prevented the law from being sched-uled to take effect in 2019. Opponents gath-ered enough support to move it to a 2020 ballot initiative, which means the decision to overturn or uphold Prop 25 now falls to voters on Elec-tion Day next week.

    Commentary: Voting Yes on Prop 16 Will Help Close the

    K-12 Black Student Academic Achievement Gap

    Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego) speaking at a press conference about Prop 209 with lawmakers and community organization leaders at

    the State Capitol March 10, 2020.

    On November 3, voters will determine the fate of Proposition 16. If ap-proved, it will repeal the ban on affirmative action written into the Califor-nia Constitution after voters approved Propo-sition 209 in 1996. The Constitution reads, “The state shall not dis-criminate against or grant preferential treat-ment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public em-ployment, public educa-tion, or public contract-ing.” The campaign behind Prop 209 purposely omitted the phrase “ban affirmative action” in the

    ballot language because voter polls indicated that if it was used, support for the initiative dropped below 50%. California is among just nine states outlaw-ing affirmative action policies and programs in public education and government offices. Prop 209 halted all of the state’s affirmative action programs to in-crease representation of racial, gender and ethnic groups that have histori-cally been discriminated against in access to pub-lic education, jobs, and business opportunities.

    Judge Denies Uber and Lyft Appeal;Companies’ Last Chance on Prop 22Falls to Voters

    The legal push-and-pull over whether ride-hailing company drivers in California will main-tain their status as inde-pendent contractors or become W-2 employees continued last week. On October 22, the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco upheld the injunction issued against Uber and Lyft last August that those companies’ app-based drivers are employees. In its ruling, the court said there was an “over-whelming likelihood” that Uber and Lyft are violating AB 5. The law that has driven a wedge between opponents and supporters across the

    ballot measure, which Uber and Lyft are spon-soring, the gig economy companies will be able to continue classifying their employees as inde-pendent contractors. The injunction resulted from a lawsuit that Cali-fornia Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed in May in conjunction with the city attorneys of San Francisco, Los Ange-les and San Diego. The suit argued that Uber and Lyft violated AB 5 by classifying drivers as independent contractors after AB 5 took effect in January. To continue, visit www.

    wssnews.com. those hiring firms must provide all worker ben-efits to employees that

    California’s labor laws mandate. If voters approve the

    state requires that em-ployers classify workers who meet certain criteria

    as employees instead of independent contrac-tors. It also states that

    California Dem Party African American Caucus Endorses “Pro-Black” Propositions

    The California Demo-cratic Party African American Caucus (CD-PAAC) hosted press conferences at four loca-tions across the state to call on Black Califor-nians to support what that group has deemed as the “pro-Black” prop-ositions on this Novem-ber’s ballot. The news conferences were held in metropoli-tan areas with some of the largest numbers of African American voters in the state -- Los Ange-les, Oakland, San Diego and Sacramento -- on Thursday, Oct. 22. The initiatives the CDPAAC has endorsed are: Prop 15 (split roll tax), Prop

    16 (repeal of Prop 209); Prop. 17 (restoring vot-ing rights for ex-prison-ers); and Prop 21 (rent control). “We will be express-ing our support for pro-Black ballot initiatives. We will also be speak-ing specifically to the benefits the initiatives will have on the Black community,” said Kim-berly Ellis who ran for chair of the California Democratic Party in 2019 and is a former re-cording secretary of the CDPAAC. She was in Oakland speaking with California Black Media by phone. The CDPAAC’s Black women leaders who led

    the effort also used the political event to criti-cize what they describe as attempts by some “bad actors” within the African American com-munity to undermine initiatives that could im-prove the lives of Afri-can Americans. Kendra Lewis, vice chair of the CDPAAC, called out the California - Hawaii National Asso-ciation for the Advance-ment of Colored People (NAACP), saying that group is one of the de-tractors whose positions on ballot measures go against African Ameri-can interests.
