Beginning 2021, the San Francisco Bay View National Black Newspaper is introducing our new fellowship program, the SF Bay View Black Media Fellowship! Every 6 months, we work with one student photojournalist or journalist with a stipend of $10,000 each and give them space to practice on the ground, live journalism and hone their unique voices.
This summer, we are working with Tashi Jones, a dynamic freshman at San Francisco State University originally from Stockton. Tashi is a photojournalism major and comes equipped with a lifetime of engaging in the struggle for Black liberation. Please contribute below to fund Tashi along with the next generation of emerging young Black leaders, freedom fighters and servants of the people in Black media.
Black truckers shut down multi-million-dollar UCSF job site for 4.5 hours
May 13, 2021
The UCSF job site at Mariposa and Illinois has only one way in or out, so it was easy for five Black-owned big rigs to block it for 4.5 hours! Here is Michael Gregory’s HVYW8 Trucking rig, one of several vehicles in his fleet. You don’t acquire rigs like these without knowing your business as well or better than anyone. Blacks in construction excel, so they know that racism is the only excuse for locking them out, for fearing their competition, so it’s only fair: You lock us out; we shut you down. This shutdown prompted the vice president of Clark Construction to call the Black truckers from Washington, D.C., with the only excuse he could think of, “We didn’t know you all were here.” The Black community has lost billions in earnings since the lockout began in 1998. The lockout of Blacks from construction is largely responsible for driving most of San Francisco’s Black population out
Earth Day 2021 in San Francisco!
April 28, 2021
On this Earth Day, April 22, 2020, more than 120 fired up Hunters Point and Treasure Island residents and supporters gathered in front of San Francisco City Hall to call for real environmental and social change that comes from the people in the wake of complete disinvestment and neglect of our Black communities by city leaders. But we also came together to acknowledge, learn about and celebrate the amazing work of people and organizations like Dr. Ahimsa Sumchai, Greenaction, Hunters Point Mothers and Fathers Committee, Arieann Harrison, Elaine Brown, Dr. Aude Bouagnon, Ms. Margaret from West Oakland, investigative reporter Carol Harvey, Gloria Berry, attorneys Stanley Goff and Charles Bonner, Literacy for Environmental Justice and many more. – Photo: Griffin Jones
A call for solidarity with Haiti
A call for solidarity with Haiti
April 23, 2021
by Haiti Action Committee
This statement, written by Haiti Action Committee and signed by over 60 organizations, commemorates the 10th anniversary of the return to Haiti of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and First Lady Mildred Aristide. It calls for support of the resistance by the Haitian people to the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Jovenel Moise and provides concrete ways for progressive-minded people to take action in solidarity with Haiti.
Ten years ago on March 18, 2011, former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, his wife and colleague Mildred Trouillot Aristide and their two children returned from forced exile in South Africa. Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of Port-au-Prince and poured into the courtyard of their home to greet them, seeing in their return a renewal of hope for a democratic and just Haiti.
