OAKLAND — Amid an ongoing gun violence crisis that culminated in the city’s sixth mass shooting of the year last weekend, community leaders are pushing Alameda County to invest $100 million of federal pandemic recovery funds in Black neighborhoods to support mental health resources, rental assistance and small businesses.

Speaking from Lake Merritt on Thursday — where a mass shooting on Juneteenth left one young man dead  and seven more people injured — East Bay leaders and community members lamented the traumatic effects of gun violence ravaging Oakland and called on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to focus recovery efforts in East and West Oakland and Fruitvale, among other neighborhoods.
