Good morning, Oakland.

Oakland volunteers are invited by lottery to join a new Civic Assembly receiving $1,350 and additional supports (childcare, senior care, transportation) over three weekend sessions to develop recommendations for reducing vacant storefronts; city leaders and UC Berkeley’s Goldman School launched the initiative after sending letters to nearly 20,000 residents.

Since May 1, the CDC reported one to 10 cases of cyclosporiasis in California, a parasitic illness that can cause watery diarrhea and weight loss.

Health officials today advised residents to wash produce thoroughly and cook foods safely as the investigation continues.

Media psychologist Dr. Don Grant from Newport Healthcare told KTVU that Toy Story 5 mirrors a challenge Oakland families face as kids increasingly choose tech over traditional toys.

He advised parents to assess device use (what, where, and how) and set clear expectations at home.
