Serving the Greater East 22001100 For The Formerly Incarcerated SSeerrvviinngg TTh hee GGrreeaatteerr EEaasstt BBaayy The Resource Directory Includes: •Housing •Employment •Food Aid •Health Care •Identification •Information Services •Financial Assistance •Legal Assistance •Education/Training “Yesterday’s struggle, today’s win, tomorrow’s success” Dear Reader: When I became Mayor, members of this community stood together and said the City of Oakland must step up to take a leadership role in providing much-needed services for our reentry community. If we are going to reduce crime and violence in our city, we must support our reentry population in a substantive and comprehensive way. I am pleased that we have made significant progress in this effort. In the last two years, we have: • Hired a reentry specialist who facilitates a bi-weekly orientation on how to access City of Oakland jobs and other resources • Banned the box on our city applications • Partnered with state and local correctional facilities to better prepare the reentry population • Collaborated with Alameda County to identify jobs in Oakland and the surrounding communities This reentry resource guide builds upon the work done so far. It includes information about educational, employment and housing opportunities, so that our men and women reentering Oakland from correctional facilities have a road map to success. I encourage you to take advantage of the recommendations contained in this guide. Our fight cannot end here. We must continue to give the re-entry population a sense of dignity and we must make a collaborative effort to aide those who are making a gallant attempt to rebuild their lives. If you would like more information on the City of Oakland’s Prison Reentry Program, call Isaac Taggart at (510) 238-6905, or our Public Safety Coordinator Dorlista Reed at (510) 238-7535. Sincerely, Mayor Ron Dellums Community Re-Entry Service Provider’s Network (CRSPN) April 2009 Dear Reader: On behalf of the Community Reentry Service Provider’s Network (CRSPN), we are excited to present this Resource Directory for the formerly incarcerated. This important resource has been a 3-year project that started with a discussion about the challenges the formerly incarcerated face in finding comprehensive and accessible information on services in key areas of need such as housing, health care, and employment. Without funding but a lot of determination and a cooperative spirit, CRSPN took on the project and insisted on exploring ways to get it done. In 2008 with the help of the Mayor’s Office and his reentry specialist, in-kind support of the Oakland Private Industry Council and other CRSPN members, this Directory started to became a reality. We, as a community are faced with crime and violence and concerned about the recidivism that continues to contribute to the problem. With over 2300 reported crimes in Oakland in 2008 and a growing prison population of over 2 million in California, it is imperative that we make information on these needed services accessible and available. While the Directory will continue to change and get updated, we hope it will serve as a valuable framework to identify and share information on resources in the community that will give the formerly incarcerated the ability to gain access to necessary networks and services to support their reintegration into family and community life successfully. Please email any questions, changes to information or if you would like to be added as a resource in the one of the categories in this directory to: [email protected]. Sincerely, CRSPN Steering Committee Members HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY The Directory for the Formerly Incarcerated is arranged by general category. Under each subject heading, the organizations are listed in order according to the city. Some categories have been divided into sub- categories, for example; Housing – transitional housing, emergency shelters, family shelters etc. For each organization, the address, phone number, website, hours, services, requirements, and fees are provided. This directory is intended as a reference and aid to those who have been formerly incarcerated, homeless, and the general population that are in need of services that this directory offers. To find a specific category in a section you want to know about, use the list in the Table of Contents. The Contents, at the front of the book, lists the sections in the order in which they appear. Each organization in this directory begins on the numbered page listed. ~X~W~ TABLE OF CONTENTS HOUSING ………………………………………………………………………………………… I Berkeley …………………………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Fremont …………………………………………………………………………………………………… 3 Hayward …………………………………………………………………………………………………… 5 Livermore .………………………………………………………………………………………………… 10 Oakland .………………………………………………………………………………………………… 11 San Leandro .………………………………………………………………………………………………… 17 FOOD AID .………………………………………………………………………………………… II Berkeley ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 20 Fremont ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 25 Hayward ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 27 Newark ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 30 Oakland ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 31 San Leandro ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 40 Meals Calendar – Berkeley …………………………………………………………………………… 41 Meals Calendar – Oakland …………………………………………………………………………… 44 IDENTIFICATION …..………………………………………………………………………… III Alameda County …………………………………………………………………………………………… 45 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE …………………………………………………………………… IV Alameda County …………………………………………………………………………………………… 48 EDUCATION AND TRAINING ………………………………………………………………… V Berkeley ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 54 Fremont ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 56 Oakland ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 58 Vocational Schools …………………………………………………………………………………… 64 Correctional Education …………………………………………………………………………………… 72 Community Colleges …………………………………………………………………………………… 73 Adult Schools ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 74 Regional Occupational Programs (ROP)…………………………………………………………… 75 EMPLOYMENT ………………….……………………………………………………………… VI East Bay ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 76 One-Stop Career Centers …………………………………………………………………………… 85 Temp-Agencies ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 94 HEALTH CARE ………………….……………………………………………………………… VII Berkeley …………………………………………………………………………………………………96 Fremont ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 102 Oakland ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 104 Pleasanton ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 117 San Leandro ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 118 Planned Parenthood…………………………………………………………………………………………120 INFORMATION SERVICES .……………………………………………………………… VIII Berkeley ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 121 Hayward ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 122 Newark ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 124 Livermore ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 125 Child Support Services …………………………………………………………………………… 126 211 Information Referral …………………………………………………………………………… 127 Inmate Services …………………………………………………………………………………………… 128 Probation Departments ………………………………………………………………………………… 129 Parole Departments ……………………………………………………………………………………… 130 Libraries ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 131 LEGAL ASSISTANCE …...........……………………………………………………………… IX Berkeley ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 133 Fremont ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 136 Oakland ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 137 Union City ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 144 San Francisco ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 145 Words of Encouragement HOUSING Berkeley …………………………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Fremont …………………………………………………………………………………………………… 3 Hayward …………………………………………………………………………………………………… 5 Livermore ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 10 Oakland ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 11 San Leandro ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 17 ] ^ “Home is not where you live, but where they understand you.” ~ Christian Morgenstern I Berkeley Food & Housing Project To ease and end the crisis of homelessness in our community, the Berkeley Food and Housing Project provides emergency food and shelter, transitional housing and assistance, and long-term housing placement with support services to homeless individuals and families.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

    1 “I KNOW THAT WE THE NEW SLAVES”: AN ILLUSION OF LIFE ANALYSIS OF KANYE WEST’S YEEZUS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY MARGARET A. PARSON DR. KRISTEN MCCAULIFF - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2017 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: “I Know That We the New Slaves”: An Illusion of Life Analysis of Kanye West’s Yeezus. STUDENT: Margaret Parson DEGREE: Master of Arts COLLEGE: College of Communication Information and Media DATE: May 2017 PAGES: 108 This work utilizes an Illusion of Life method, developed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001) to analyze the 2013 album Yeezus by Kanye West. Through analyzing the lyrics of the album, several major arguments are made. First, Kanye West’s album Yeezus creates a new ethos to describe what it means to be a Black man in the United States. Additionally, West discusses race when looking at Black history as the foundation for this new ethos, through examples such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nina Simone’s rhetoric, references to racist cartoons and movies, and discussion of historical events such as apartheid. West also depicts race through lyrics about the imagined Black male experience in terms of education and capitalism. Second, the score of the album is ultimately categorized and charted according to the structures proposed by Sellnow and Sellnow (2001). Ultimately, I argue that Yeezus presents several unique sounds and emotions, as well as perceptions on Black life in America. 3 Table of Contents Chapter One

  • A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West's Twitter Practice
    The Life Of Kanye A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West’s Twitter Practice. 15.08.2016 Lund University M.Sc. in Media and Communications Studies Gloe Lucas 920721-T197 !1 ABSTRACT Celebrity Twitter use has recently been the subject of celebrity studies. Performing authenticity and intimacy as well as engaging interactively with followers are considered central characteristics of ‘micro-celebrity’ practice, which is widely considered to be extensively utilized by celebrities in their use of Twitter. Taking this framework suggested by celebrity studies as a point of departure, this thesis focuses on the case study of Kanye West, whose recent use of Twitter has been given much attention by celebrity news media due to his controversial tweets. In carrying out a content analysis of this case study’s tweets, this thesis aims to understand the way Kanye West is using Twitter, what strategies he is employing and how this links to the structural implications of celebrity. As the findings suggest, Kanye West employs two main strategies in his usage of Twitter: In his first strategy he uses Twitter as a tool to promote his celebrity commodity, increase his celebrity capital and create an elite network of fellow celebrities. The second strategy aims at creating an authentic and personal narrative that redefines and extends Kanye West’s celebrity persona. Within this second strategy, “stream-of-consciousness” writing was identified as a unique strategy employed by Kanye West in his Twitter practice. Keywords: Celebrity, Twitter, Micro-Celebrity, Authenticity, Intimacy, Performance. Number of words: 20.650 !2 Acknowledgements I hereby want to thank those that enabled and helped to create this paper.

  • Teratology Transformed: Uncertainty, Knowledge, and Cjonflict Over Environmental Etiologies of Birth Defects in Midcentury America
    Teratology Transformed: Uncertainty, Knowledge, and CJonflict over Environmental Etiologies of Birth Defects in Midcentury America TV Heather A. Dron DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History of Health. Sciences in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. SAN FRANCISCO Copyright 2016 by Heather Armstrong Dron ii Acknowledgements Portions of Chapter 1 were published in an edited volume prepared by the Western Humanities Review in 2015. iii Abstract This dissertation traces the academic institutionalization and evolving concerns of teratologists, who studied environmental causes of birth defects in midcentury America. The Teratology Society officially formed in 1960, with funds and organizational support from philanthropies such as the National Foundation (Later known as The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation). Teratologists, including Virginia Apgar, the well-known obstetric anesthesiologist and inventor of the Apgar Score, were soon embroiled in public concerns about pharmaceutically mediated birth defects. Teratologists acted as consultants to industry and government on pre-market reproductive toxicology testing for pharmaceuticals. However, animal tests seemed unable to clearly predict results in humans and required careful interpretation of dosage and animal species and strain responses. By the late 1960s, amidst the popular environmental movement, teratologists grappled with public claims that birth defects resulted from exposure to industrial pollutants in water or air, or from food additives, pesticides, and industrial waste or effluent. In a crowded field of professionals concerned with pharmaceutical or chemical exposures during pregnancy, teratologists proved adaptive and resilient. Despite influences from the environmental movement, teratologists at times tried to contain the substances and outcomes considered relevant and called for greater vetting of chemical claims, amidst rampant journalistic and public accusations about iatrogenic or industrial harm.
