Sometimes, the school bus arrived on time to pick up Ritu Narayan's children. Narayan's solution: She left her job to create Zum, an AI-backed electric school bus service that launched in 2015. It started as something of a self-funded Uber, chauffeuring kids to school with a fleet of vetted private drivers. Instead, the schools offered to enlist Zum as a privatized school bus fleet, with electric vehicles and tracking abilities. Narayan faced a turning point: Stick with her original vision, inspired by her mother, with its clear market and high demand?

More than 150 people packed an auditorium at Oakland’s La Escuelita Elementary School in anticipation of a resolution that one board member planned to introduce calling for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Many attendees wore the green, red, black and white colors of the Palestinian flag and carried signs demanding “Ceasefire Now!” and criticizing Israel’s bombing campaign.

Ten candidates will be on the November ballot for Oakland, California's mayoral race. 2022 General EmbedsIncumbent Mayor Libby Schaaf, a Democrat, is leaving office following two consecutive four-year terms, which is the maximum an Oakland mayor can serve. While Oakland's mayoral election is nonpartisan, the city has a history of electing Democrats and Democratic-leaning politicians to fill the mayoral position. Homicides in Oakland were up more than 50% in 2021, when the number of murders peaked at 100 for the first time in a decade. The nonpartisan election will be held using ranked-choice voting, which allows voters to rank up to three candidates, in order of preference, when marking their ballots.
