It all goes back to the practice that came to be known as redlining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1930s, as the country was recovering from the Great Depression, the federal government wanted to encourage homeownership in cities that had suffered from waves of foreclosures. So it established the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC), to refinance mortgages at risk of default. As part of that effort, HOLC created maps of cities, to identify which neighborhoods were good investments and which were bad investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOLC assigned each neighborhood a grade, according to the \"favorable\" and \"detrimental\" influences in the neighborhood. The presence of minority communities was among the so-called detrimental influences. Take Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood, for instance. A 1937 HOLC map of the area indicated these so-called detrimental influences: \"Odors from industries. Predominance of foreign inhabitants. Infiltration of Negroes and Orientals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648730\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 614px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11648730 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"1008\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut.jpg 614w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-160x263.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-240x394.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-375x616.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29302_Oakland-Area-Map-D15-ad0122-qut-520x854.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An \"area description\" of an Oakland neighborhood, produced by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in 1937. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the University of Maryland T-RACES project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fruitvale and other neighborhoods given low grades were colored red on the maps, which spawned the term \"redlining.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These neighborhoods were denied access to credit because the federal government refused to guarantee mortgages and other loans that were being made in these neighborhoods,\" said Carolina Reid, an assistant professor of city and regional planning at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, said Reid, had a profound and lasting impact. \"The policy of redlining helped facilitate the disinvestment and the growing poverty in neighborhoods like Fruitvale,\" Reid said. \"Because we saw white flight to the suburbs and then we saw families that were remaining not being able to access credit to buy a home or to invest in a small business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1960s and '70s, activists raged about the decline of cities and the influence of discriminatory lending practices. That led to the passage of a number of laws, including the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRA doesn't specifically outlaw redlining or discrimination against borrowers on the basis of race. Instead, it mandates that banks offer loans and other financial services to all communities where they do business, including low- and moderate-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the CRA, banks are encouraged to work with local community groups to find opportunities for loans or investments that can actually help a struggling community. In Oakland, the nonprofit Unity Council has taken on that role. With investment from banks, the Unity Council built Fruitvale Village, the transit village next to the Fruitvale BART Station. It includes 47 units of housing, restaurants, businesses and a bank branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of investing in projects like Fruitvale Village, banks get credit for complying with the Community Reinvestment Act. And because of CRA, banks now see places like Fruitvale as good investments, says Chris Iglesias, CEO of the Unity Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn't necessarily out of the goodness of their heart. But I think this has become a much more viable option for them, under this program, and we've taken advantage of that,\" Iglesias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investment from banks didn't just help build Fruitvale Village. It helps the Unity Council fund community services for people who live in the neighborhood, like a health clinic, job training and Head Start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silvia Guzman's three kids came through the Head Start program. She first learned about it when she was just 16 years old, with a young daughter at home. A family advocate approached her mother after church one Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My mom came home and she told me, and I said I don't think we need child care,\" Guzman recalled recently while standing outside the Head Start classroom. \"And she says, 'No honey, this is not child care. You know, this is school-oriented. They will teach her, they will guide her, she will learn her numbers, she will learn how to write.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648737\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11648737\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29303_IMG_8744-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Silvia Guzman serves on the board of the Unity Council, a Community Development Corporation that built Fruitvale Village in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Brian Watt/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She enrolled her daughter, Gloria, in Head Start.

That led to the passage of a number of laws, including the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRA doesn't specifically outlaw redlining or discrimination against borrowers on the basis of race. Instead, it mandates that banks offer loans and other financial services to all communities where they do business, including low- and moderate-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the CRA, banks are encouraged to work with local community groups to find opportunities for loans or investments that can actually help a struggling community. In Oakland, the nonprofit Unity Council has taken on that role. With investment from banks, the Unity Council built Fruitvale Village, the transit village next to the Fruitvale BART Station. It includes 47 units of housing, restaurants, businesses and a bank branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of investing in projects like Fruitvale Village, banks get credit for complying with the Community Reinvestment Act. And because of CRA, banks now see places like Fruitvale as good investments, says Chris Iglesias, CEO of the Unity Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn't necessarily out of the goodness of their heart. But I think this has become a much more viable option for them, under this program, and we've taken advantage of that,\" Iglesias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investment from banks didn't just help build Fruitvale Village. It helps the Unity Council fund community services for people who live in the neighborhood, like a health clinic, job training and Head Start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silvia Guzman's three kids came through the Head Start program. She first learned about it when she was just 16 years old, with a young daughter at home. A family advocate approached her mother after church one Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My mom came home and she told me, and I said I don't think we need child care,\" Guzman recalled recently while standing outside the Head Start classroom. \"And she says, 'No honey, this is not child care.

But if any succeed, the implications are profound: The state is already spending hundreds of millions of dollars to shore up coastlines, protect infrastructure and retrofit roads and bridges in response to rising seas. And if companies are persuaded to drill and refine less oil, California has a much better chance of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions on the schedule it has set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Richmond, plaintiffs include the cities of Imperial Beach, Oakland, Santa Cruz and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case_downloads/climate_change/2017-09-19complaintforpublicnuisance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco,\u003c/a> and the counties of Marin, San Mateo and Santa Cruz.

Asked whether the state would join the cities and counties or consider filing its own suit against the oil companies, the Justice Department declined to comment about potential future action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city-county suits began six months ago when Imperial Beach, in southern San Diego County, sued a handful of oil companies. Richmond, surrounded on three sides by water and imperiled by rising seas, joined the fight Jan. 22. Its city council voted unanimously to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs2.law.columbia.edu/climate-change-litigation/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/case-documents/2018/20180122_docket-C18-00055_complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sue\u003c/a> 29 oil producers, even if it meant taking on Chevron, whose tax payments -- $45 million in 2016 -- account for 25 percent of the city’s general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are a pretty important corporate citizen,” Richmond Mayor Tom Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, “we are a waterfront city -- Richmond has 32 miles of shoreline on the bay. Part of our city is vulnerable to sea-level rise: our transportation systems, neighborhoods and commercial areas, and thousands of acres of waterfront park.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those vulnerable venues is Chevron’s refinery, which sits at the edge of San Francisco Bay.

Literally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employing the legal strategy that brought states major payouts from tobacco companies decades ago, the plaintiffs are demanding that oil interests begin writing checks to protect Californians against rising seas, crippling drought and harmful air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal viability of the lawsuits is unclear; the cases are in early stages. But if any succeed, the implications are profound: The state is already spending hundreds of millions of dollars to shore up coastlines, protect infrastructure and retrofit roads and bridges in response to rising seas. And if companies are persuaded to drill and refine less oil, California has a much better chance of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions on the schedule it has set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Richmond, plaintiffs include the cities of Imperial Beach, Oakland, Santa Cruz and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case_downloads/climate_change/2017-09-19complaintforpublicnuisance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco,\u003c/a> and the counties of Marin, San Mateo and Santa Cruz.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Sonia Lee is a special education teacher who lives in Oakland. She shared the following story as part of\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/06/i-dont-feel-safe-at-work-your-metoo-stories/\"> KQED's survey about sexual harassment \u003c/a>in California. The California Report Magazine is airing some of these first-person stories as part of a series called \"#UsToo.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was my first year as a special education teacher. I was already very stressed about knowing all the laws and doing everything correctly, and the administrator that I worked for, he was a bully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt like I was walking on eggshells with him. He wanted me to know that he had control over me. So any e-mails I sent, I had to cc him on, any phone calls that I got went through him first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time that I really felt uncomfortable was when I was just leaving my classroom one day, and I was in the hallway. He came up behind me and gave me a massage on my shoulders and just said, \"Oh you shouldn't be working so late...you're putting in a lot of hours.\" And [he] was just massaging my shoulders, and I just thought, 'This is really uncomfortable, and it's not appropriate. But does this mean that I'm on his good side? Will this really make my life here at work easier?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another time, he pulled me into his office one morning and asked me about my underwear: if I wear thongs or underwear. That was really the tipping point for me to go to my union representative. When I asked my union if I could file [a complaint] anonymously, they said I couldn't because if I wanted to proceed with it my name would be shared. So I didn't file anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was really fearful of him and how he could make my work life harder. And he was already making it so stressful for me. I was getting hives all over my body just from stress and anxiety. After I left that school, the next year the teachers had come together and filed a complaint against that principal.

She shared the following story as part of\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/06/i-dont-feel-safe-at-work-your-metoo-stories/\"> KQED's survey about sexual harassment \u003c/a>in California. The California Report Magazine is airing some of these first-person stories as part of a series called \"#UsToo.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was my first year as a special education teacher. I was already very stressed about knowing all the laws and doing everything correctly, and the administrator that I worked for, he was a bully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt like I was walking on eggshells with him. He wanted me to know that he had control over me. So any e-mails I sent, I had to cc him on, any phone calls that I got went through him first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time that I really felt uncomfortable was when I was just leaving my classroom one day, and I was in the hallway. He came up behind me and gave me a massage on my shoulders and just said, \"Oh you shouldn't be working so late...you're putting in a lot of hours.\" And [he] was just massaging my shoulders, and I just thought, 'This is really uncomfortable, and it's not appropriate. But does this mean that I'm on his good side? Will this really make my life here at work easier?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another time, he pulled me into his office one morning and asked me about my underwear: if I wear thongs or underwear. That was really the tipping point for me to go to my union representative. When I asked my union if I could file [a complaint] anonymously, they said I couldn't because if I wanted to proceed with it my name would be shared. So I didn't file anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Linda Grant has lived in East Oakland most of her life. In the early 1980s, she went to Elmhurst Middle School (now Elmhurst Community Prep) on 98th Avenue and Cherry Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We stayed on the football field all day selling weed to one another,\" says Grant. \"Selling dollar joints, $5 bags of weed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant is 48 years old now. She's a mother of six and a grandmother of two. And she's still operating in the underground weed economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it's inevitable that she has had some run-ins with the Oakland Police Department, like in 1994 when she was in front of Lockwood Gardens Village, a housing project on 65th Avenue in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just remember, like, they saying, 'Yeah, you going to jail for a long time for this weed,' \" says Grant. \"The police officer was like, 'You can kiss your kids goodbye, you are going to jail for such a long time. You aren't going to see sunlight again.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/11/PerryOaklandWeedIncubator.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/PotPlants-1920x1280.jpg\" Title=\"For Oakland’s Black Weed Entrepreneurs, It’s Not a Level Playing Field\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being black and getting arrested for cannabis isn't uncommon in Oakland. In 2015, \u003ca href=\"https://beta.oaklandca.gov/documents/equity-analysis-and-proposed-medical-cannabis-ordinance-amendments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">77 percent\u003c/a> of those arrested for cannabis-related crimes were black, although just one-third of the city's population was black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certain communities have been policed for the same activities because we know that white people use drugs and sell drugs at approximately the same rate that black and brown people do, but they don't get jailed at the same rate,\" says Darlene Flynn of Oakland's Department of Race and Equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now the city is trying to right that wrong through the\u003ca href=\"https://beta.oaklandca.gov/news/2017/city-of-oakland-releases-medical-cannabis-permit-applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Equity Cannabis Permit Program,\u003c/a> which started in May. Through the program, the city will give permits to weed entrepreneurs who want to enter Oakland's legal weed economy when it becomes legal to sell recreational cannabis in California next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it will give priority to people who have been arrested and convicted for cannabis within city limits after Nov. 5, 1996. (This is the date when medical marijuana became legalized in California.) It will also give priority to those who, like Grant, have lived in neighborhoods with the highest number of marijuana-related arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn says the city is trying to counteract another inequity. While East and West Oakland have been disproportionately policed for weed, other neighborhoods have benefited from the city's embrace of medical marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Literally those neighborhoods are in another geographic part of the city where we have a concentration of people who are not people of color,\" says Flynn. She says in those neighborhoods, such as downtown Oakland, universities like Oaksterdam and marijuana workshops have been allowed to run openly without any repercussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But moving from the underground to the legal market may not be easy for Oakland's equity applicants. More than 100 qualified people have started the application process. But the city says it has yet to issue any permits, in part because there are a lot of loopholes to jump through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"svpaT4nTwtKyFnhm8fTAL5pZSPnVt9Jx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant says she still needs to get a business license, lease a legitimate workspace and show that her income is low enough to qualify. Applicants must make less than $53,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want tax returns and stuff like that. I don't have no receipts from selling weed.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being black and getting arrested for cannabis isn't uncommon in Oakland. In 2015, \u003ca href=\"https://beta.oaklandca.gov/documents/equity-analysis-and-proposed-medical-cannabis-ordinance-amendments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">77 percent\u003c/a> of those arrested for cannabis-related crimes were black, although just one-third of the city's population was black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certain communities have been policed for the same activities because we know that white people use drugs and sell drugs at approximately the same rate that black and brown people do, but they don't get jailed at the same rate,\" says Darlene Flynn of Oakland's Department of Race and Equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now the city is trying to right that wrong through the\u003ca href=\"https://beta.oaklandca.gov/news/2017/city-of-oakland-releases-medical-cannabis-permit-applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Equity Cannabis Permit Program,\u003c/a> which started in May. Through the program, the city will give permits to weed entrepreneurs who want to enter Oakland's legal weed economy when it becomes legal to sell recreational cannabis in California next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it will give priority to people who have been arrested and convicted for cannabis within city limits after Nov. 5, 1996. (This is the date when medical marijuana became legalized in California.) It will also give priority to those who, like Grant, have lived in neighborhoods with the highest number of marijuana-related arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn says the city is trying to counteract another inequity. While East and West Oakland have been disproportionately policed for weed, other neighborhoods have benefited from the city's embrace of medical marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Literally those neighborhoods are in another geographic part of the city where we have a concentration of people who are not people of color,\" says Flynn. She says in those neighborhoods, such as downtown Oakland, universities like Oaksterdam and marijuana workshops have been allowed to run openly without any repercussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But moving from the underground to the legal market may not be easy for Oakland's equity applicants. More than 100 qualified people have started the application process. But the city says it has yet to issue any permits, in part because there are a lot of loopholes to jump through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant says she still needs to get a business license, lease a legitimate workspace and show that her income is low enough to qualify. Applicants must make less than $53,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want tax returns and stuff like that. I don't have no receipts from selling weed. I haven’t worked legally,\" says Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Anthony is a local medical cannabis lawyer. He says that it's hard for people with little money to start any kind of business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have no money, they have no access to land, they don’t have commercial property and they don’t have startup capital,\" says Anthony. \"It’s a very, very difficult task, and I’m not sure how the city is going to solve all those problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Grant is determined to make her dream come true.
