2 morrow. 8.29.25 - Time TBD - Upon adjournment - CA Appropriations Suspense file hearing.👀... Which bills are going to make the chopping block and move to the Assembly Floor? https://t.co/AK93JF8nft
#SB515 authored by @cjecofficial will require all CA cities and counties disaggregate “Black/AA” in data collection and create a separate category for the descendants of persons enslaved in the US! #specificity#datamatters#YESonSB515 ✊🏾💪🏾🇺🇸
🚨 STOP SB 437! 🚨
California keeps stalling, and we’re done waiting. SB 437 wastes money on a CSU genealogy study we don’t need — while pushing Reparations back another 3–5 YEARS. That’s justice DENIED.
Family we need to support Dulan’s this place is really good everytime I go to la this is a family stop call to action

California is changing the way we collect data for Black Americans by starting to count descendants of the people who were freed from Chattel Slavery in the U.S. as the specific and distinct people we are, and not lumping us all into the "Black/African American" category, which makes it impossible to provide for the direct, timely, and targeted resources we need and, in reality, pay for with our own tax dollars, and have earned as a foundational population of the United States.
Here's how:
In 2024, due to the law we wrote @cjecofficial (SB 189, section 14, 2022), ALL California state agencies now have a specific category of data for descendants wherever data is collected for state employees. And the data is already coming in (more on that later).
Now, our new Senate Bill 515 (2025) will require EVERY CITY and EVERY COUNTY in California to do the same thing. One more step toward fixing a big problem: namely, if you can't see our community, you can't serve our community. And right now, we're completely invisible. We're ending this. Join us. Spread the word. Share. Stay alert. Follow

BREAKING NOW: California Republican Lawmaker Bill Essayli @billessayli and Coalition for a Just and Equitable California @cjecofficial Introduce Historic Bill to Establish California American Freedmen Affairs Agency!
Yes, you heard that right. California Republican lawmaker Bill Essayli, working closely with the grassroots, just introduced our bill to create a California American Freedmen Affairs Agency. The bill recognizes the historic contributions of the American citizens who've inherited the legal and political status known as American Freedmen and creates and empowers an Office of Freedmen Genealogy to immediately create and begin the process of identifying and verifying the status of American Freedmen in California, which will ultimately empower future state efforts to serve this foundational American population.
The text of the bill will be public shortly. Stay tuned. Read the Media Advisory below.

@cjecofficial@CABlackCaucus#lineagematters#CAReparations2025
Friday Feb 21st is the deadline to introduce new bills for 2025 #CAleg session. Last year, @CABlackCaucus committed to reintroduce a bill to establish #CAFAA after killing #SB1403. So far, they haven’t fulfilled that commitment.
5 days remain.
WHERE IS THE AGENCY BILL?!?! 👀🤷🏾♂️
Advocates raise your voices. Raw and unfiltered.
@CABlackCaucus bring forward the Freedmen Agency, the $12M reparations fund and the land back bills. Reveal your 10 year plan!
Yes, @cjecofficial is right...
@CABlackCaucus only has 7 days left to introduce the California American Freedmen Affairs Agency bill that they committed, publicly, in writing, to reintroduce after they blocked it last year.... 7 days left.
The clock is ticking...
