$8 Million Coming To East Oakland Small Businesses Friday Morning Via CA Capital In The Community Act
Oakland, CA – Following the closure of nearly 500 local businesses since the start of the pandemic, the approved “California Capital in the Community Act” is set to deliver $8 million to East Oakland entrepreneurs. In celebration of this incredible win for East Oakland, State Senator Nany Skinner, District 6 Councilmember Loren Taylor, and ESO Ventures are providing checks to the first four businesses benefitting from the new capital program. Given the structural barriers many Black and Brown entrepreneurs face when pursuing traditional sources of capital, the increased funding into ESO and buildout of a loan program will make the dream of entrepreneurship more accessible.

Councilmember Loren Taylor, District 6

Note from Zennie62Media’s Zennie62 YouTube and Oakland News Now Today Blog SF Bay Area: : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
