In recognition of National Reentry Month, the Alameda County Social Services Agency (ACSSA), in partnership with the Oakland Private Industry Council, Alameda County Probation Department, and the Alameda County Workforce Development Board, is hosting a Fair Chance Job and Resource Fair on Wed., April 26, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at RingCentral Coliseum, 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland.
To date, there are more than 75 employers and community-based organizations confirmed to participate in assisting the formerly incarcerated population to find employment.
The job fair organizers anticipate that there will be more than 1,000 registered job seekers.
The objective of the job fair is to provide local businesses with the opportunity to meet highly skilled, but often overlooked, candidates face-to-face and offer jobs on the spot!!!
Candidates who receive a contingent offer and pass employer pre-screening requirements will have the opportunity to “Ring the Bell,” signifying “I got the job!!” This small but powerful act has been added to motivate, inspire and create excitement to drive the momentum of the event.
There will also be on-site drug screening, assistance with California state IDs, live scan fingerprinting, music, stylists, barbers, and more. This event is open to all job seekers. For more information, please contact Rochelle Baxter Green, ACSSA by email-rbgreen@acgov.org.

DA Pamela Price has charged Elias Nathaniel Jimenez, 22, and co-defendant Maria Rosalia Martinez, 43, with multiple felonies for an alleged freeway shooting in the City of Hayward.
Both defendants are charged with one count of attempted murder, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, an additional count of shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, and possession of a large capacity magazine, among other charges. In addition, Jimenez is charged with two special allegations: use of a firearm and use of a loaded unregistered firearm.
The criminal complaint alleges that on or about Aug. 6, Jimenez and Martinez shot into another vehicle that was occupied by an adult and an underage passenger traveling on Interstate 880.
“These allegations involve shooting from a moving vehicle at another car driving on the freeway, which is beyond dangerous,” said Price. “The charges, which include enhancements, reflect the seriousness of these alleged crimes and my commitment to hold those accountable who use guns in our community for such senseless and violent acts.”
If convicted and sentenced of all charges, Jimenez faces a maximum of 23 years and 9 months in state prison while Martinez faces a maximum of 13 years and 2 months in state prison. Both defendants are scheduled to appear for a bail hearing on August 27 in Department 112 at the Wiley Manuel Courthouse.
