Dear Community,
Congratulations again to the incoming board!
I hope that all take a moment to commemorate the important moments this month including Pride and Juneteenth! I am thankful for the activists and organizers across Los Angeles who are ensuring that sexual orientation, gender, and racial equality are embedded in the DNA of this city.
We have vacancies on the incoming board that you can apply for if you are a stakeholder! See our website to learn more about who qualifies and how to apply.
Lastly, it’d be a great treat to get to see many of you on June 27th at the board-sponsored 5K Run organized by the Northeast Business Association right as myself and other board members wrap up our service on the board and help bring in a return to in-person activities.
Have a wonderful June, Historic Highland Park!
Estrella Sainburg
HHPNC President

Happy Pride!
We are thankful for local non-profit organization The Wall Las Memorias Project who serves Latino, LGBTQ and other under-served populations through advocacy, education and building the next generation of leadership. They took the time earlier this year to help us understand how to support the LGBTQ+ population and recognize their identity on a day to day basis. We thank and commend organizations and leaders in Historic Highland Park working for greater inclusivity, rights, and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ population. We also invite stakeholders to join the LGBTQ+ alliance as a non-NC appointed member!

What to expect on June 15th |
|
Last week, the Cal/OSHA standards board recommended relaxing physical distancing and masking requirements for fully vaccinated workers, and other adjustments to align with the June 15 reopening. If the standards are approved by the Office of Administrative Law in the next 10 calendar days, the standards are expected to go into effect no later than June 15. The revised standards include the following:
- Face Coverings: Fully vaccinated workers without COVID-19 symptoms do not need to wear face coverings in a room where everyone else is fully vaccinated and not showing symptoms. In rooms where everyone is not vaccinated, face coverings continue to be required for everyone regardless of vaccination status. Both fully vaccinated and unvaccinated workers without symptoms do not need to wear face coverings outdoors except when working at “outdoor mega events” with over 10,000 attendees, which may include events or theme parks.
- Physical Distancing: When the revised standards take effect, employers can eliminate physical distancing and partitions/barriers for employees working indoors and at outdoor mega events if an employer provides respirators, such as N95s, to unvaccinated employees for voluntary use. After July 31, physical distancing and barriers are no longer required (except during outbreaks) provided all unvaccinated employees are offered respirators for voluntary use.
- Exclusion from the Workplace: Fully vaccinated workers who do not have COVID-19 symptoms no longer need to be excluded from the workplace after a close contact.
- Special Protections for Housing and Transportation: Special COVID-19 prevention measures that apply to employer-provided housing and transportation no longer apply if all occupants are fully vaccinated.
Employers will still be required to maintain a written COVID-19 Prevention Program with the following changes:
- Employers must review the California Department of Public Health’s Interim guidance for Ventilation, Filtration, and Air Quality in Indoor Environments.
- COVID-19 prevention training must now include information on how the vaccine is effective at preventing COVID-19 and protecting against both transmission and serious illness or death.

Celebrate Juneteenth - June 19, 2021 |
|
This Saturday we honor and acknowledge the historical struggles of the black community.
Juneteenth, June 19, is a Black American holiday to remember the day when word finally came in 1865 to slaves in Galveston, Texas, that slavery had been ended by President Abraham Lincoln’s Jan. 1, 1863 Emancipation Proclamation.
The annual celebration, also known as Jubilee Day, Freedom Day and African American Independence Day, is celebrated with family and community get-togethers, eating red-colored foods, like red velvet cake and strawberry soda, and sharing family history, music, singing and stories.
