Priority Legislation
ACA 5 Weber California Act for Economic Prosperity (Opportunity for All)
ACA 5 removes Article I, section 31 from the California Constitution to be voted on by voters in the 2020 ballot. This measure would repeal the provisions enacted by the initiative, Proposition 209 in 1996, of the California Constitution prohibiting the state from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.
ACA 6 McCarty Free the Vote
This bill will restore voting rights to people serving a parole sentence. This constitutional amendment would affect a large population of Black Californians that are incarcerated. It will also play a huge role in changing the criminal justice system that heavily affects Black Californians.
AB 3121 Weber Reparations Task Force
AB 3121 will establish a Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans. This bill will also provide an in depth examination of the impacts of slavery in California in the broader sense and provide the State guidance on how to address the disparities born of a shameful history.
