SACRAMENTO – The California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) in a statement today called for greater diversity within the entire film industry, which will help to eliminate the disparity in the Oscars:

“Last year the Legislature gave the film industry millions of dollars in tax credits to ensure that they stay in California. Therefore, it should be expected that this industry reflects the diversity of our State at all levels,” stated Assemblymember Reginald Jones-Sawyer, Sr., Chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus.

Sacramento - The California Legislative Black Caucus is eager to work with the Governor to prioritize investments in our health care infrastructure, including the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science and the Martin Luther King Hospital's master site plan, and improving service delivery funding for the AIDS/HIV prevention. 

The California Legislative Black Caucus will also work with the administration to create an African American Advisory Committee to the State Board of Education to augment the Board's service to our students.
