Juneteenth & Local 1000 Juneteenth is a federal holiday established by President Joseph Biden on June 17, 2021 in the United States when it was signed into law by President Biden on June 17, 2021. Governor Gavin Newsom refuses to establish an additional state paid holiday for Juneteenth while hypocritically discussing slave reparations. Juneteenth is the anniversary regarding June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared the end of slavery, two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. This delayed but noteworthy historical proclamation in Texas truly underscores the challenges in abolishing slavery across different regions of the country during the Civil War era. Some Americans believe these challenges are still present in today’s society. How does the celebration of Juneteenth reflect my presidency within Local 1000? Well in a brief summary it celebrates the dedication against injustice without losing hope for ALL Americans that unfortunately resulted a loss of over a million lives in a war that lasted 4 years from April 12, 1861 to May 26, 1865. It should be noted that the Revolutionary War lasted 8 years from April 19, 1775 through September 3, 1783. Local 1000 has been attempting independence as well from tyranny and suppression from politics aka SEIU. My fight against the insurrectionists led by Bill Hall is similar to President Abraham Lincoln fighting against President Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy. President Davis believed in the status quo of maintaining the southern way of life that was dependent on free enslaved African labor. He did not believe All Americans were equal whether in the public sector or in the private sphere. I as the Local 1000 President am fighting the status quo of “slave like” wages that is disguised as a living wage. However I must engage in a required revolutionary but courageous civil war in the courtroom that will test my determination and patience to obtain justice for 98k Local 1000 represented employees. Juneteenth is also about forgiveness. Our country is attempting to apologize to the descendants of the enslaved Africans by recognizing that not ALL slavery is equal. I can accept the future apology from Local 1000 for illegally removing me from office but I am not sure members who voted for me are quite so forgiving. Ironically this unforgiving spirit is shared by many Americans who are also not apologetic for slavery in our country. Speaking of forgiveness how does a person really ask forgiveness? Is slave reparations the only solution? If a person offended another person in public then the apology should be made in public by a sincere written and oral declaration. It appears that Governor Newsom is truly unapologetic for slavery because of his steadfast refusal to establish an additional state paid holiday in remembrance of Juneteenth. However he is not alone because Local 1000 refused to have this special day recognized as an additional state paid holiday like Christmas or Dr. King holidays are in its current illegal contract. In fact many State employees of all races worked today and did not refuse to work in honor of Juneteenth. This is related to the fact that I insured the Local 1000 staff had Juneteenth recognized as an additional paid holiday in their 2021 new contract along with a 14% pay increase over 3 years without using any of their personal time to cover today’s work hours! This is a brief comparison between Juneteenth and my presidency as the Local 1000 President.

December 28, 2022 The Local 1000 Status Quo Speakeasy! During the 14 years of Prohibition (1919 - 1933) alcohol was illegally sold at establishments in secrecy with patrons speaking softly to avoid bringing undue attention. People wanted to consume alcohol even though the 18th Amendment ratified by the states in January of 1919 banned the sale of alcohol aka “intoxicating liquors” during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. The states didn’t truly represent the will of the people in regards to alcohol consumption. The will of the people was finally recognized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the 21st Amendment was ratified in December of 1933 which repealed the 18th Amendment. Local 1000 is the modern day status quo “speakeasy” with the self-dealing and the selling of membership rights by a number (33) of Local 1000 Board of Directors in secret Board meetings with Directors voting quietly in secret with no accountability in silencing the voice of membership. However 33% of membership voted for and elected a new president, Richard Louis Brown, in 2021 to eliminate this Local 1000 status quo “speakeasy” and to lead the largest public sector union in California by obtaining substantial pay increases, and establishing bona fide contract enforcement while providing job security while under a signed contract! Many voters believe that President Brown was really first elected in 2018 but was not recognized as the winner. Together we must stop this 14 year plus status quo “speakeasy” behavior by some of the Local 1000 Board of Directors in their secretive efforts to illegally sell out membership while also engaging in self-dealing for their own selfish interests. By the way the TRIAL OF THE CENTURY is coming in 2023! Thanks for your support and cooperation, Richard Louis Brown Inspire the Impossible 7437 408-207-2339

December 21, 2022 The Fine Art of SELF-DEALING! Last night Local 1000 Board of Directors voted to indemnify the 42 Defendants in my lawsuit against these individuals! The cost is in excess of at $100K of member dues in addition to the $500K spent on Chris Katenzbach, Leon Dayan, Phil Andonian, Glen Rothner, and Kerianne Steele. These high priced attorneys are hired to help remove the duly elected Local 1000 President (me) from office and destroy democracy while protecting the political status quo and help preserve racism in our union.
