of millions of dollars and what has it gotten? it's gotten worse . we need a state of an emergency so we can get federal money and state money. >> some of the statistics. alameda county looked at included the high rent burden. 40% of those who are homeless have at least one permanent disability, 80 the maximum state disability benefit is just over $1,000 a month. yet the average studio apartment. in alameda county rents for over $1,500 a month. that gap forces many into homelessness, as does substance abuse. a second chance in newark runs a recovery shelter, and they say a state of emergency is long overdue. >> i think we're at the starting point of it with the state of emergency, but it will take a while for it to trickle down. somebody's waiting on their next meal. can't wait on red tape to eat in the east bay. >> i'm leslie brinkly, abc7 news. >> oakland activists are calling on the national naacp. they want

a harder look taken at the local oakland branch. >> they claim the oakland chapter is not aligned with the city's values. abc7 news reporter anzar hassan has details. >> former and current members of the oakland chapter of the naacp say it's time to break the silence. the oakland branch is currently using its position to hijack the legacy of the historic organization and using it as a weapon in a weapon against their opposite action. doug blackshire is one of the signatories of a letter sent to the national naacp. president about the oakland branch. the letter states our leadership is reverting to lies, fear mongering and tough on crime rhetoric that is targeted african americans. throughout our history in this country, evoking stereotypical narratives of black criminality. >> 400 years now we have our own people part of that. >> the group claims the oakland chapter is not representative of oakland's values or diversity. aligning itself instead with

right wing interest over progressive causes. they point to the recall effort of alameda county district attorney pamela price and supporting tax breaks that defund education in favor of tax breaks for big businesses. the naacp is a class based organization, and that's really the problem. >> so we have come here today to demand that they make a reverse on all of their positions except for the bringing back of chief armstrong. >> the group singled out two men, former alameda county assistant d.a. terry wiley, who lost to da price and former oakland city council member lauren taylor, who lost to mayor shengtao. >> these people are the losers. they lost the elections and now they are running the local chapter. >> in a statement to abc seven news. terry wiley, o is a member of the oakland chapter of the naacp, writes, i have no comment to accusations that are intended to distract everyone's attention from the rising number of retail thefts robbed alleys, carjackings, murderers, business

and everything turn around and maybe the politics will straighten out. i'm not going to hold my breath and he's not the only one trying to keep his head above water with the closures for this of the salmon and also the closures on the groundfish, the rockfish for us, my business is off over 90. >> i am struggling just to try and survive. >> captain william smith, otherwise known as captain smitty, specializes in taking small groups out to fish on his passenger carrying boat. but without salmon. he's pivoting to focus his tours instead on whale watching and ash spreading. >> this has been very difficult because with without the income of our passengers going, taking them out fishing, we're we we're down to scraping the bottom of the barrel here. just to try and meet our bare minimum expenses, just to try and survive. >> pillar point harbor is still open, but the only fish being

mission district mural ist whose work got tagged a few times as he was prepping. >> so, you know. >> yeah, it was. it was, yeah. >> have you ever reported it to police? >> no. >> no need. because once word got out that it was cervantez who was painting the mural, it became off limits to any tagger. the ones that just scribbled and tagged for the hell of it. >> those are the ones that are a problem. >> some call it infringing to impress. uh- carlos gonzalez is also a muralist and a former probation officer, for there's a bunch of knuckleheads who just don't care whatever this sign or name is typically only known to them. and while you might think that this is an eyesore, if enough people start recognize using this moniker in their minds, they have achieved some kind of notoriety or fame, especially after covid. >> i think a lot. i think there's like kind of like a like a loss of respect.

>> how did things get so bad for one during covid, the board of supervisors paused any kind of graffiti removal enforcement. and so when we had more than a year of not going to enforce, if we didn't have that stick with the carrot and stick, sometimes people would just let it sit on their building. >> and then you're right, more tags will come. another, another, another for property owners are the ones who have to pay to paint over the graffiti. >> this is an accident. so so you can't just. you can't just remove it. you have to replace the glass. >> so it's almost like a cat and mouse game. exactly where they tag it. you paint over it, they come. how much does it cost you? so the small glass like this one, just the square right here, if i'm going to replace it, it's a $300. police used surveillance video to help connect the tagger with his moniker and try to build a case. from there, they also catch a few taggers in the

act personally for graffiti tagging. >> i've written i've written a handful of arrest warrants based on about their aggregate numbers. i would say that's that's roughly not too many. well as a police department, our aggregate numbers between 60 or 70 people at this point for the year it's especially challenging since the department has a severe shortage of officers. i think it speaks to the good work of our officers because even under these demands, we're still arresting people, defacing someone's property with graffiti is a felony with a person facing jail time and a fine about a year ago. >> public works introduced a pilot program to remove and paint over public areas that affect small businesses at no cost to them. but they never anticipated getting so many calls to the 311 customer service center. >> where we're really seeing a difference are the requests that are coming in for graffiti on private property, and that's up

almost 74. so a really big spike there. >> graffiti and the act of tagging will never completely go away. but city officials insist there are ways to curtail it through community involved public works, for example, offers several volunteer programs to clean up neighborhoods. another idea is to encourage those who tag to express their art in designated public spaces. as cervantes was once a tagger who found a more creative and meaningful way to express his art. >> it's nice to discover something where you can point somebody in the right direction and then later on in life, they're successful artists. >> so what we heard from all the people in that report is that san francisco residents have to stop blaming the city or relying on city departments to do all the work when in fact, neighbors , they say, should get together to try to improve their streets again. san francisco's tarnished image will not improve until

that happens. as one neighborhood that has really changed, i've seen the change, the haight-ashbury, the neighbors, the businesses, all came together to try to make improve. it's amazing to see. >> right, right. that deters. yeah. >> stop blaming the city. >> you got to bring everybody together. absolutely. to fight this. liane thank you so much. sure >> abc seven held its annual operation save a life event at fire station four in san francisco today. fire departments from across the bay area were there to increase public awareness of fire and carbon monoxide safety partnerships with the home depot and kira have helped provide more than 45,000 free smoke alarms and more than 5000 co alarms in the bay area. abc seven news anchor karina nova and abc seven general manager tom sybrowsky took part helping announce another big donation from kira. we see that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. >> the gift that was given to us by kira home depot and in

partnership with abc seven is the gift of life. it's imperative that people get these for their occupancies, for their residents and yes, now there's no excuse for the children taking that few extra minutes when the time changes to replace batteries or not to put it off. >> when the you know, the smoke detector has been taken down, especially when it's being done, because maybe it sounded too much during a cooking problem. it's really important to make sure that you do that because when it's time, there's really no second chance you can check with your local fire department to get a free smoke or carbon monoxide alarm. >> you don't. those are for inside your house. you don't need a smoke detector for outside because all you have to do is look, this is your smoke detector. >> yeah, this, this and this. or when i'm not rubbing my eyes because of all the matter particulate matter that's in the air, it has gotten worse in the last few hours, andrea. >> it is really bad right now, kristen and larry, if you could

up our northerly wind tomorrow out of the north northeast. that downsloping wind is going to raise the fire danger here. so that is concerning. you can see the winds as we go hour by hour. tomorrow night, 7 p.m. we go into midnight thursday and notice 34 mile an hour winds coming out of the north. it's a very drying wind. that gusty wind continues into 5 a.m. thursday. the good news is these winds are not expected to be terribly strong and the humidity is not expected to be extremely low. so that's something to keep in mind. but that doesn't mean you don't stay aware, obviously stay aware in case there is a fire from our santa cruz camera . you can see it's a shaky view right now. smoky and hazy skies tonight and tomorrow, gusty in the hills. higher fire danger between tomorrow night and thursday and autumn arrives on friday at 1150 in the evening hour. by hour tomorrow morning, you will notice some low clouds. it's not going to be a solid deck of low clouds. and the clouds will clear quickly as those winds pick up your morning

>> i think i have made an impact so far. >> kate logan is stepping up and speaking out when it comes to the dangers of fentanyl. >> it's not talked about enough. so no bringing this club and i get all grade level participation, you know, my club sign up sheet filled out and first 20 minutes. >> kate is a senior at archie williams high school in san anselmo, where she started a chapter of project one life, a national teen run nonprofit charity, dedicated to increasing awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. among young adults. >> so i'll provide resources and just knowledge how to counteract an overdose if you see someone having an overdose. kate says she got involved after the death of her beloved uncle lance, who died from a fentanyl overdose in san francisco several years ago . that was life changing for me. so first i reached out to the national nonprofit project one life and essentially got involved right away.

>> now she's the lead of social media for the organization. marin county health and human services says on average, there's about one fatal overdose each week in the county and two non fatal overdoses each day in san francisco between january and july of this year, there were 473 total overdose deaths, 385 were related to fentanyl. >> i think the reason why i joined her club is just it's really prevalent for teens and especially for teens dealing with mental health issues. >> kate says she's getting lots of support, especially from her principal. >> i'm super proud of her and all the support she's getting from her classmates. and i just think the more education that we can provide for our students and the community, the better. >> kate says she'll keep spreading the word about synthetic opioid dangers. she hopes her uncle lance, would be proud. >> unfortunately, he lost that battle. but i think he'd be really proud of me taking action in san anselmo. >> cornell bernard, abc seven news. >> all right. good job there. another bay area tech company is

going public and can we avoid another government shutdown? >> the latest from washington, but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

we have to stand up to this naked aggression today. and deter other would be aggressors tomorrow. we seek to respond ably, manage the competition between our countries. china and russia taking center stage during president biden's speech at the un today. >> but on capitol hill, a potential government shutdown. >> all right, abc seven news political analyst jackie speier is joining us now with less than a couple of weeks away from the possibility of another shutdown, there's so much infighting that we're used to between the democrats and the republicans, but there's also infighting between the parties within the parties that complicate everything. >> it's really serious within the republican party right now. and there is a group of four, count them, four members on the republican side that are holding everyone hostage. and mccarthy is looking at losing his speakership. so he has tried to placate them for months now and they just want more. they're

like, you know, this this animal that just can't be fed enough. so i think there's going to be a shutdown really. and i think it's almost baked in at this point. and the ramifications for the public. well the ramifications are huge. but in terms of getting your social security check on time, that won't be impacted, getting your your actual pay. if you're a federal employee, you get you get that salary back after the shutdown is over where it's the most impactful is that our national parks, when we had a shutdown back in the trump administration, i mean there was so much anger about the closure of the national parks because weddings were taking place there and all of a sudden, at the very last minute, they were getting them yanked. >> is there any chance i mean, we've seen the can get kicked down the road a lot here. is that a possibility or do you really think that this is it so they could do it what's called a clean continuing resolution? >> the democrats would buy into

that immediately. and there's a group of moderate republicans that might do that. the question is, will the speaker make it appropriate to take up now, in the meantime, you've got the senate that's going to take a slew of bills and put it into an omnibus and ship it to the house s, take it or leave it and that may be when we're in the best position to get it taken care of. >> all right, jackie, can i get you a take on senate majority leader chuck schumer dropping the enforcement of the dress code rule? you know, you have some experience with regard to dress codes and well, actually, to show you how different it is in the house, for the longest time, women could not wear sleeveless dresses. >> so i led a campaign that was, you know, urging us to bear arms because we wanted to, certainly in the summer, to be able to wear sleeveless dresses. so now you can wear hoodies on the senate floor. it's kind of funny because it's always seen as the more decorous house. i mean,

decorum chamber and one that is, you know, a little more prim and proper. so this is a huge change. i don't know that i would have agreed to it myself. you would still be wearing that regardless. >> i'm sure. >> beautiful. no hoodies on, no hoodies here. all right. speaking of change and elections, this is your final appearance with us here at abc7. as a political analyst, i can only assume that kristen and i drove you out, but just like true enough with them, i'd rather run for office again. let's get it. but you are running for office again. >> i've decided to announce it here on abc7. that i'm going to run for the board of supervisors in san mateo county in what's called district one, which is going to be vacated by supervisor dave pine because he's up against term limits. so wow. so i'm going back to my roots full circle. we kind of thought you we knew you weren't going to stop with public service, but we didn't think it

was going to go the political route. >> again, maybe you talk about why step into the more local level when you've been on this federal stage? >> well, it's important to remember that all politics is local in the end. and there's a history of people in high positions that have then chosen to go down to the local level. jerry brown being probably the best example as governor, who then came to oakland to become the mayor. so i think there's lots of opportunities to do good work in san mateo county. i want to make sure that we continue to be a county that is held in high esteem because we work well together. and there's been some indications that that hasn't always been the case in the recent past. and i want to make sure we do do some really good things that relate to housing, making it affordable for the middle class has been hollowed out of san mateo county. it's just for the very poor, poor and the rich. the richest county in california, but home to 27,000 kids in poverty. >> well, we wish you the best of

luck. thank you. it's too soon for you to leave. you just got here. i know. former abc seven news political. maybe it was sandy that you just decided i can't i can't do it. >> i enjoyed being with you. it was a great experience and it's not an easy job what you do. >> please. thank you. please say that into your your your iso camera there the close up. >> but no, thank you so much. all right. >> well, we look forward to continuing the conversation in your next phase. yes. thank you. thank you as well. all right. all right. today on national voter registration day, this is very exciting. our own abc seven news reporter, loose pena became a us citizen. yep waving her flag there. here's video of her at the swearing in ceremony in san francisco. she registered to vote right after this. has been a permanent us resident or green card holder since she was 11 years old when she immigrated to the us with her parents from her native colombia. congratulations liz. >> you know, she brings a smile to every room that she enters. she has so much positive energy.

way, it's okay, sandy. >> there's no wrong way to do art. that's true. that's true. >> very true. there you go. and you look. >> you sell it for $10 million. all right. a new york restaurant got clever when coming up with its name. it's called thai food near me. yes you heard right. the restaurant is named after a common food search phrase used a lot by a person that sits next to me. the owners say the name is already pulled in. large crowds simply because people were looking for guess what? thai food near them. this is a great tie in to a story that kristen has. and i laugh at this every time. >> yeah. you know, our favorite bakery in san francisco with the amazing croissants rolling out bakery. right on the west side of the city. well, i literally was driving through golden gate park and i googled croissants near me because i felt like having a croissant and that's how i found him. but now i'm going to suggest that he change his name from rolling out bakery to croissants near me because i think anyone might get confused when they see it come up. >> no, i want an actual place near me, but it just keeps

coming up thai food near me. maybe what if he puts his name on like bruno's croissants near me or i don't know, some other. >> some other tag who's going to call him up to tell him? >> we have this suggestion for him. you do it, kristen. okay you will. all right. all right. but nonetheless, the new york restaurant is super clever. >> so smart. >> all right. how often do you think about the roman empire for apparently, for some men, it's a lot. a new trend on tiktok has users asking their fathers and boyfriends how often they think of the roman empire. and apparently many think about a daily or even more often than that. some think about it several times a day. what so far , the trend has racked up millions of views. ama did you ask your hubby if he thinks about the roman empire? >> okay, let me read. so how often do you think about the roman empire? him never. why do you ask me? i have to do the for it. for and then i send the information, the texts i get
