Posted by: News_Desk on 05/11/2021 04:15 PM
Oakland, CA... California Attorney General Rob Bonta today launched the Racial Justice Bureau (Bureau) within the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and announced plans for a virtual convening against hate crime with California’s Big City Mayors. Together, the Bureau and virtual convening are a part of the state’s newest efforts to lead the development of strategies to address bias and hate at their roots and to strengthen responses to hate crime in California. The Bureau will initially bring six new attorneys and a supervising deputy attorney general to DOJ's Civil Rights Enforcement Section to help tackle some of California's most pressing racial and social justice issues head on. Given the recent reported rise in hate crimes and incidents against members of the Asian Pacific Islander community in particular, Attorney General Bonta is recommitting DOJ to further engaging with communities across the state to identify pathways for better serving the needs of all those facing hate.

Angels Camp, CA...One of the greatest joys we have had in the 16+ years of The Pine Tree is covering our local parades, events & especially the Frog Jump! It combines Gold Rush history, Americana & Small town fun in a great string of events culminating with the Internarial Frog Jump Finals on Sunday . It is also reliably the one weekend each year that Calaveras is a national and international news event to see if Rosie the Ribiter's world record will hold for another year. After a long covid year the frogs are rested and ready to go and if the Jr. Jump was any indicator then the Frog Jump finals this coming Sunday will be hopping. We have photos, video & results below. As the winners Leila & her Frog Pink Flower qualified for the Frog Jump Finals on Sunday!
