And more violent clashes between police and College Protesters across the country. Latest on whats happening with schools in the bay area and the rest of california. Good evening, im Brian Hackney.

Crime victims and their loved ones gathered to share their own stories. Amanda hari reports from lake merritt. Reporter dozens of people gathered here to tell their stories about how crime has impacted their lives. The idea behind it is that when survivors speak, change happens. Healing but not healed, and i have to remind myself that thats okay. Reporter like this 15yearold. Ive been through, you know, emotional, physical abuse with my mother in the past. Reporter her mother was an alcoholic. She says she grew up in fear but now shes finally safe, living with her aunt, going to high school, and focussing on getting into a good college. One of her favorite hobbies is writing spoken word poetry. Survive for the day, but always thrive for tomorrow. Reporter she started writing and sharing her poems to help her process her trauma. At first it was a way to get my feelings out that i couldnt tell other people, but then it became something that was really dear to me. Reporter she says it was especially special sharing it during this healing vigil hosted by californians for safety and justice. Its nice to know, you know, im not alone. Other people have gone through the same thing, and were all healing together. Reporter her aunt is the east bay chapter coordinator for californians for safety and justice. She says she decided to host the event in oakland because of her connection with crime and the city. I chose oakland because its personal for me. When i was 16 my mom was murdered from Domestic Violence here on the streets of oakland, and then when i got old enough to have children, both of my kids fathers were murdered here on the streets of oakland. Reporter she says in addition to helping people heal on an individual level, the vigil called on city and state leaders to do what they can to help. Basically by more Trauma Recovery center, more funding in after school program, more funding geared towards helping individuals that have been through trauma be able to process what theyve been through and be able to start taking initiative to heal. Reporter she says she has a message for anyone who may be the victim of a crime or lost a loved one. It does get better. Ultimately, it does. You may not have that mindset right now. You may be going through a lot of hardships right now, but as long as you keep going, keep pushing through, focus on what your main goal is, it will get better. Reporter californians for safety and justice are continuing their fight beyond just this vent. They fight for criminal justice ereform all year round. Latest numbers from Oakland Police show crime was up 18 in 2023 in all categories. Cities saw spikes in crime during the pandemic, but unlike other cities, oaklands spike hasnt come down yet.

We see this every day. It doesnt cross our mind like, oh, this should not be happening here. Its like this is oakland, this is regular. Reporter High School Senior trang nguyen and many neighbors say its become normalized, sex workers walking in thongs and seethrough tops. My friend and i joke about it. Reporter they demand authorities to go after the pimps and johns. Since officers arent allowed by state law to arrest sex workers, officers are driving around to scare the johns away. A member of the board of supervisor, an assembly member, and the District Attorney all saying were going to partner and work with community because we know its going to take all of us, that hasnt happened before. Reporter Oakland Council president nicky for believes new partnerships will improve street conditions. We are committed to solutions. I have been committed in terms of the environment achanges. Reporter last year the city added barricades on a portion of east 15th street to stop illegal prostitution and neighbors say it worked. But it only pushed the sex workers back to international boulevard. Turn it off. Were on a public sidewalk. Turn it off. Thats really rude. Whats wrong with you . Reporter many families that live on International Say they feel like prisoners in their own homes. Children have to walk past the sex workers to get in and out. The city allows it to happen, and so the city and the county and everybody thats involved that has power to do something about this by not doing it, it is allowing the business to flourish. Reporter trang shared on stage that last year someone in a large van followed and tried to kidnap her while she was walking to a store in the afternoon. A Good Samaritan helped her, and they called the police. She believes the crime was related to sex trafficking. I cant walk around my neighborhood freely. Im always like looking behind me. I always have to bring a pepper spray. I have to buy a taser. Reporter elected leaders made promises at the event, but trang says talk is cheap, she believes in results. I know i was like not optimistic that this issue would get solved. Im just hoping it will get better. Reporter elected leaders are working to deploy new programs and it could take some time to see changes on the streets. San francisco tried to cut down on illegal sex work in the mission by putting up barriers on a part of cap street to keep solicitors from cruising.

Reporter last weekend people across the bay area gathered for ertd day events to help the planet, but on this day in danville, they gathered to help each other. Each year lindy sable has a special treat for her visitors. Yes, these are grandma sables cookies. Reporter but this year when she met her guests hello. Oh, hi, im lindy. Nice to meet you. Hi, thanks for coming. Oh, your son, great. Reporter she didnt have to bribe them. Thats because he and his son and lindys neighbor all volunteered to come over and help plant flowers in the backyard of her danville home. Its something the former Kindergarten Teacher has a hard time doing these days. I cant do it. No, i used to do all that stuff. Teach, work in the yard. As you see its a big yard, do all that, but no, im going to be 78 in a month, so, you know, i keep i try to keep going. Reporter the help comes court stoif danville senior center, which each year organizes this annual lend a hand day. Volunteers met in the morning to be assigned to homes of seniors who need a hand keeping up with their outdoor spaces. Much of the emphasis is on connecting young people with those of the older generation. You know, yard work can be overwhelming, especially all the wonderful rain weve had. The weeds grow high, the grass fwlo grows thick, these volunteers might be getting their first gardening experience. These are telderly. Theyve got disabilities. Its much easier for People Like Us to go out there and do it and help them when we can. Reporter back at lindys house, the 14yearold was already a veteran volunteer. Last year he signed up himself and his father to be part of the lend a hand service project. And i just saw it and signed up for it. Looked cool. Reporter why . Why do you enjoy doing this . Well, sometimes, like, i dont really have anything else to do, so if you can help someone, then you should do it, right . Reporter so you didnt have to drag him here, he dragged you . No, not necessarily. I think we like to have things do together, and it was a great part to be here, so. Reporter lindy spent her career teaching Young Children to work as a team, and she believes volunteering is especially important for a generation that often seems to lack strong connections with other people. Yes, we are missing that very much so. Reporter why do you think that is . Just because everybodys so business sichlt the kids are so programmed. They go to school and then they go to sports. And so we do need to take this time to look around and see whats needed in our community. Reporter theres a saying, the most important thing you can give someone besides your love is your labor. On lend a hand day, both gave a gift to each other, not to mention the cookies. Mmm, the cookies. Well, it was beautiful seeing those pictures, the green gardens, and the vibrant flowers. That was because of of the rain, but were not going to have any for a while . Always close with cookies. Oh, youre still on the cookies. The defining factor tomorrow, its not terribly strong, but its not going away, and its going to make it feel cooler than it otherwise would. Watch the screen light up around 4 00 tomorrow afternoon. And there you have it, those are 40mileanhour gusts along the coast, about 25mileanhour winds in the interior. Its not any stronger than today was. But it takes the temperatures look at the daytime highs, were still going back up to like low to mid70s for inland spots. Mid to upper 60s for most other locations. Thats just what the thermometer is going to read. When youre out there 3 00 in the afternoon and theres a 20mileanhour northerly breeze, its going make it feel cooler. So bottom line is tomorrow looks and feels just like today did. Theres not a whole lot of change. Its a pretty nice weekend, just a little cooler if youre in the breeze. Watch what happens when we transition forward. Look at the numbers. They were in the low 70s for tomorrow. By thursday theyre the low 80s. The rest of the bay is also climbing into the mid70s, and no wind. Or, you know, the usual onshore breeze through the golden gate. It shouldnt be too overwhelming. Theres a noticeable warmup coming. Its not really kicking in until like the second half of this week. So sunday, monday, going to feel a little then tuesday and wednesday the warming trend is going to kick in. Theres no rain in this discussion, so if we just use the long range models we can reasonably go out ten days with these. Nothing. Nothing shows up. Theres a system that might want to get here after that tenday period, but it wouldnt be worth chasing it that far down the models. If you look at what happens over the next ten days in terms of where its going to rain and where it is not, its going to rain everywhere else except for here where were being shielded as we go into early may. Were going stop tracking the possibility for pacific to throw storms our way as you get into may. Thats typically when they go away. And they dont come back for a while. Theres your sevenday forecast. Look at the warmup. Oakland, youre going up into the mid70s by the time we get to thursday. But san joses going to 82 by the end of the week. 72 by the weekend. There is a noticeable return to average daytime highs by next weekend. So if you like sunny and warm, the whole second half of this week is your thing. And then next weekends probably going to cool back down. Similar to today. Matt over to you. Thanks, darren. Giants are looking to get back to. 500. They had a chance at a second straight walkoff.
