among us for their work to uplift communities. one honoree tells us what black joy means to them. >> joy is internalized. it comes from a part of your being that is connected to experience and so to be able to think of african americans coming together to celebrate the victory and the suffering as a part of who we are, is just a phenomenal idea and experience. >> you can experience that joy tomorrow with live entertainment and activities for the entire family. join zach fuentes, julian glover and ama daetz as we stream this parade live tomorrow starting at 1230. you can also watch it wherever you stream abc seven news for more details on that, you can head to our website, abc seven news.com/black joy parade. staying in the east bay saint james road in piedmont is back open after being shut down for a couple of hours because of a downed tree. a large tree you can see here alongside the road fell over yesterday afternoon.

people were asked to avoid the area while public works crews worked to remove this from the street. a federal judge paused a lawsuit impacting san francisco's ability to clear homeless encampments. that's while the supreme court decides a similar issue in oregon. a preliminary injunction is in place which prohibits san francisco from clearing homeless encampments unless it has enough shelter beds available. san francisco's city attorney says the pause keeps the city from wasting resources on a lawsuit that may be canceled in just a few months. in the south bay, a frightening incident in san jose shows just how dangerous power lines can be. it involved t men inside a cherry picker working on an apartnt building near the intersection of zanker road and vallejo. refighter say they were 40ft up when one of them hit his helmet on a high voltage power line. now that worker suffered severe burns to his upper body, but rescuers say his helmet likely saved his life. the lift could not be

lowered, so firefighters had to get the men down. both were taken to a hospital burn unit in a landmark move, 97% of cal state university students voted to create the largest student assistant union in the country. now it comes after years of battle for better treatment and benefits from the csu system. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains what it means for the students on a college campus. >> if the students are the blood and professors are the brain, student workers might be the heart by doing their part to keep everything going. but student assistants believe they haven't been part of that process. their pay is low, their hours are few, and they have no union to protect their rights. until now. >> today we had student assistants who work on 23 campuses at the cal state university system make e histor. we, um, you just heard the state officials here at the public employment relations board announced that the csu student assistants have overwhelmingly voted yes for our union.

far this year? you know we're doing great. >> we've had some nice breaks in between the storms with several inches of rain, and this is considered another nice break before we get back into it at the end of the week, where we're going to see it looks like at least an inch, maybe two inches of rain as we get into next weekend. but let's enjoy this weekend where we're beginning to see the start of a beautiful day out there. the sunrise 648. it sets at 557 and about two weeks away from from changing our clocks, and over three weeks away from the vernal equinox, which is when spring begins. so yes, looking at a light at the end of the tunnel, if you're kind of tired of long winter rain, but some of you like the rain and good for you, because it is coming back. looks like several systems actually 54, in san francisco, 47 in oakland with 48 in san jose, what have you here with 50 and half moon bay. and as we look out, live from mount tam, pretty view as well. the city lit up there. 45 santa rosa, 37, in petaluma. so

weather by 7:00, dropping. off into the upper 50s. starring. light out there. a little cooler for the black joy parade at 11:00. we'll be in the upper 50s, so more like average here by noontime. a mix of clouds and sun with low 60s to mid 60s by about 2:00 in the afternoon. so really a nice weekend today. the warmer day with numbers from the mid 60s. half moon bay and the winds on the light side. so a quick warm up out there for 70 in oakland this afternoon. that sun setting at 557. so getting a little bit later 70 in concord 72 in fremont santa rosa 73 was 74, in san jose. and this is a look at the rainfall accumulation through about seven days out. and you can see very preliminary. but this picks up over an inch to maybe two inches up in the north bay. so this will be modified and changed by the time we get closer overnight tonight clouds 50 and the accuweather seven day forecast. sunny warmer today. tomorrow. cloudier and cooler back to the

mid 60s. level one system monday. sunny on tuesday and wednesday and getting back into what looks like a rainy pattern late thursday. stephanie lisa. >> thank you. well, when we return, imagine putting groceries in a cart, then just walking out of the store. it's not stealing at this store on the peninsula. how the new futuristic smart carts work to make in-person shopping faster that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate."

joining the event, but one already backed out. drake's brewing company, which is based in the east bay, told the organizers just a few days ago they can't be there due to unforeseen circumstances. some suspect the a's might be behind the sudden cancellation, but the a's tell abc seven news they had nothing to do with it. and drake's isn't returning our request for a comment. >> they say the a's weren't involved or anything like that. but, you know, we've had another sponsor that was approached by the a's. um, and they denied their requests to not be involved. and they're still coming and they're still going to be here. >> this is the banner they already ordered and paid for. you can see drake's, but it turns out it might be a blessing in disguise because once they canceled, other breweries volunteered to be part of the event. >> the response was just unbelievable. you know, we had six beer vendors sign on. we had numerous other vendors that that weren't beer vendors. like, i want to get involved and we're like, well, we can't we don't have enough room. that's report is why festival organizers think this will be one of the largest oakland fan festivals in recent years. >> for months, the die hards have joined together to denounce the a's move to las vegas, while

slight chance of a shower as we get towards early monday. that level one system, more sunshine arrives tuesday and wednesday. we'll need it because as we get into late friday, that level one system brings light rain and then by that's thursday. but into friday we're getting into a rainy period with a system from the north bringing looks like a decent amount of rain and snow to the sierra nevada. so here we go again. if you're missing the rain, don't worry about it. it is coming back. >> it's the first time in a while we've had this break that we've been talking about that every saturday. sunday appears like we've been having these storms open the windows. >> get out there. >> yeah. enjoy it. well, a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. you can download the app now and start streaming in. up next, a historic first on the peninsula. we give you a look at the first ever african american museum in san mateo count
