Oakland City Council President Rebecca Kaplan, who serves as Oakland’s Council Member At-Large, announced a bold, 13-point, “Agenda for Healthy Transition and a Just Recovery Plan.”
Kaplan is urging the council to take immediate action to ensure the timely launch and revised safe programming for Oakland’s summer jobs and summer food programs, stating: “We must ensure health protections for workers (which also prevents community spread among the public) including the provision of adequate protective equipment and protection from being forced to come to work when sick.
Provide expanded economic opportunity with safe health guidelines in our Youth Summer Jobs Programs and commit to youth involvement in a healthier future, including with the right to vote and civic engagement.
Expand access to community health clinics and job training in health care.
the Oakland City Council addressed the issues of Youth Summer Jobs Programs and Food Service Programs.
