<div><strong>Save the Free Press from MAGA Repression in the Trump Era! The San Francisco Bay View Needs Your Support!!</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The voices of resistance to our looming Donald Trump-style oligarchy must NOT be silenced! <strong>For nearly 50 years, The SF Bay View has centered stories featuring voices of the African Diaspora in San Francisco, nationwide, and around the world. </strong>Our acclaimed, award-winning reporting on all aspects of Black life, from street journalism and breaking news to emerging cultural figures and ongoing socio-political struggles, is more crucial now than it has ever been. As a movement newspaper, we’re not just about the headlines; we are about fundamentally changing systems of white supremacy and ensuring that the progress our nation has made in forging equality and justices for all will NOT be rolled back!

<div><strong>Our editor and social justice advocate extraordinaire, Mary Ratcliff, 85, is again attempting to retire — still locked in battle with cancer and exhausted by simultaneously caring for her beloved 92-year old husband and lifelong partner in activism, </strong><a href="https://sfstandard.com/know-your-neighbors/dr-willie-ratcliff-broke-racial-barriers-for-san-franciscos-black-workforce-and-journalists/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Willie Ratcliff</strong></a> <strong>, our publisher.</strong> She has valiantly <a href="https://80over80sf.org/80over80-stories/maryratcliff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fought the good fight</a> for decades, ensuring our print and digital editions offer fortitude for the fight, solace, support, joy, camaraderie, and shed light for the community on the issues impacting them. Despite her own struggles, she is determined to keep this beacon of hope shining. We are seeking a new editor-in-chief, and other staff to continue our vital work as an independent Black media stronghold and key part of the resistance to the MAGA agenda.

<div><strong>SF Bay View National Black Newspaper’s Impact</strong>

</div>

<div>Our Reach is global, not just local. Our award-winning features and investigative exposes are read on every continent. Our writers contribute from all over the world. We are invested in the political, socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural transformation of our society on a global scale. <strong>Here are a few examples of the power of our journalism and advocacy:</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Bay View brought in the new millennium with a series of stories about police brutality, a topic never before covered from the perspective of the Black victim. The Bay View’s leadership of the movement to bring the police officer to justice who murdered Oscar Grant in Oakland in 2009 was picked up by activists in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police murder of Mike Brown. And by 2020, millions were marching across the world demanding justice for George Floyd – all because a brave Black newspaper had the courage to tell the truth.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In 1989, California built a prison called Pelican Bay designed to be the toughest in the country, where men called the “worst of the worst” struggled to survive the torture of indefinite solitary confinement for as long as 46 years. Communicating through vents, they planned a hunger strike in 2011, inviting support from prisoners statewide. That first strike drew 6,600 participants, the second 12,000 and the third, in 2013, when their demands were finally met, 30,000, according to state records, the largest prison hunger strike in history. The organizers wrote dispatches published in the Bay View, the only coverage of the strikes. Later, at a meeting of the Corrections top brass, the blame was laid: “The Bay View newspaper caused the hunger strikes!” Mary Ratcliff calls that the proudest moment of her life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Just a few blocks from the Bay View’s office lies one of the dirtiest Superfund sites in the country, the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, where for decades the Navy tried to remove the radiation caused by exposure of ships to atomic bomb blasts and left behind a deadly toxic mess poisoning residents. For over 25 years, a Black woman doctor born and raised here has investigated, reported and warned in nearly every issue of the Bay View that redevelopment of the Shipyard must wait until it is clean, backing her findings with her first-in-the-nation community biomonitoring clinic measuring residents’ toxic “body burdens.” Lawsuits may cost the Navy and its contractors billions.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In 1995, the Bay View was credited with the election of San Francisco’s first mayor of African heritage, Willie Brown, despite a Black population of only 11% at the time. In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina flooded Black neighborhoods in New Orleans, the Bay View’s coverage was second only to the Times-Picayune, the city’s daily newspaper.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Both via digital media and in print, our newspaper unapologetically tells stories of daily life and ongoing struggles and triumphs, striving to represent the full spectrum of Black life.

</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The voices of Black San Franciscans are loud as ever, and the SF Bay View has been here, making space for their stories.</strong> The San Francisco Bay View is a Black-owned and run newspaper that centers the voices of our people in SF and nationwide, reporting on all aspects of Black life, from street journalism and breaking news to emerging cultural figures and ongoing socio-political struggles. As a movement newspaper, we’re not just about the headlines; we are about fundamentally changing systems of white supremacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>As the times change, so do we.</strong> It is time for a new editor – a new captain of the ship – to come aboard and steer the newspaper into its next phase of growth as an independent Black media stronghold in collaboration with our dedicated crew.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In building the future, we honor our past. </strong>In honor of our 30+ year publisher, Dr. Willie Ratcliff, we have founded the Dr. Ratcliff Editorial Fellowship to support an incoming editor – someone to fill the shoes of a true visionary and changemaker. On Friday, Sept. 16, we host a 90th birthday celebration and fellowship fundraiser launch for Willie and our future editor. <a href="https://youtu.be/Un1CtMXubZc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch the event’s livestream here</a>, and see Dr. Ratcliff’s vision come to life in Kevin Epps’ film “Dr. Willie’s Wisdom.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Have you heard of the SF Bay View National Black Newspaper?</strong> Do you know that one of the country’s largest Superfund sites is right here in Hunters Point, and is radiating toxic chemicals and killing our children?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Do you know the country’s first-of-its-kind community biomonitoring clinic testing our people’s body burdens is right here in Hunters Point, run by a doctor born and raised here?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Do you know about the historic 2011-13 Pelican Bay hunger strikes that successfully won a class action lawsuit and got prisoners out of the torture of indefinite solitary confinement? The SF Bay View’s series of articles persuaded upwards of 30,000 people to participate in the strikes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This online and print newspaper unapologetically tells our stories of daily life and ongoing struggles and triumphs, striving to represent the full spectrum of Black life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of the defining features that sets us above the rest is that we bring in the voices of prisoners to be a part of this change. Every month,15,000 print papers are distributed around the Bay Area, including 3,000 that are mailed nationally to people in prison.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Investments to fund this vision will help us fight for true lasting change for the People. Will you join us?</strong>

Such a young life taken from us so soon. Jace Young the heart and soul of our family has gained his wings. Who would have ever thought that a “Celebration” would turn into a “Tragedy”. While attending a birthday party on July 4th, 2020, Jace became a victim of a senseless violent crime in San Francisco, CA that ultimately cost him is life.  At the tender age of 6 years old, Jace was a very bright young man destined for greatness. The kid who could brighten up a room with his smile and his blue glasses will truly be missed. He had a love for technology and always wanting to be around all of his family and friends. One thing that you could always count on Jace for is to be honest, loving and caring! He gave us all that he could...all that GOD put him on earth to give us and now we are left to pick up the pieces. During this trying time, our family is asking for donations to help with  support for his mother and her other 3 children. With your help, his mother will be able to grieve and get the support for her and her children to make sense of their new normal. <br /><br />Please keep Jace and our family in your prayers.<br /><br /> <br />The Family of Jace Young
