In memory and support for Banko Brown
Last week, an armed security officer took the life of a member of the Young Women’s Freedom Center Family. Banko Brown was beloved by a big community. He was brilliant and made everyone laugh. Though he was shy, he made friends easily and connected deeply with others. Banko had been a part of the Young Women’s Freedom Center since he was just 12 years old and worked as a Community Organizer, advocating for the rights of other young people in San Francisco at the time of his death.
On Thursday, April 27, Banko Brown was shot and killed by an armed security officer at Walgreens in San Francisco. He was only 24 years old.
The Young Women’s Freedom Center created a GoFundMe fundraiser to hold Banko’s family and community in love and support. If you can, please donate to support Banko’s family in providing a service that honors his life and legacy and cover transportation and other costs during this devastating and tragic time.

Nathen Avelar, a leader for Power California Action and a third generation Merced resident, called on local and state leaders to stop the housing crisis our communities in the Central Valley, and across California, are facing, by prioritizing “working people and our families over the corporate housing groups that continue to earn record-breaking profits and drive up costs for renters and homeowners alike, making housing more unaffordable for everyone.” The Homelessness Prevention Act (SB 567), currently with the judiciary committee in Sacramento, would limit rent hikes and make it harder for landlords to evict people without just cause.
“By investing in our youngest residents, we can ensure that the California economy stays strong and continues to provide opportunities for all residents.” In the face of climate change, political polarization, and threats to democracy and basic rights, there is one bright spot in the midst of ominous data and disturbing headlines: beginning in 2019, the number of children in poverty in California fell by 42%. But with many federal pandemic policies and emergency protections going away, California must keep investing in programs benefiting our children if we are to sustain this progress. Shimica Gaskins, President and CEO of GRACE/End Child Poverty CA and Ted Lempert, president of Children Now, share recommendations for the highest-return investments we can make to reduce child poverty right now from the End Poverty in California campaign’s policy agenda in a piece for Capitol Weekly.
