Gavin Newsom embraced reparations at first. Now he's slow rolling them calmatters.org/commentary/20…
My daily prayer is that Black🇺🇸 collectively wakes up and unapologetically advocates with unwavering focus for a radical redistribution of wealth, before it's too late.

For those of us who have ancestors that were formally enslaved & emancipated in the USA, our justice claim is based on our lineage & our genealogy
It will not be a race-based claim
It will not be a DNA-based claim
If you're focused on advancing our claim, don't waste time there

SB 437 became law last year, requiring CSU to study genealogy verification for reparations for Black Americans descended from U.S. chattel slavery.
The October 1 deadline came and went with no report. But thanks to pressure from @cjecofficial ,CSU finally released a status update.
They’ve selected Sacramento State, Cal State Long Beach, and San Diego State to conduct the research, with Sacramento State leading.
Let’s be clear: We didn’t believe another study was necessary in the first place. But if you’re going to do it, GET IT DONE!
LEAP, CJEC, and our coalition partners will be watching every step. We’re not letting CSU off the hook. Our community has waited long enough. No more delays!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
FINALLY, here is the #SB437 CSU Study Report that was due on 10/1.
Tl;dr Summary:
"No research projects have been completed, and no findings or recommendations are available at this time." 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

Sometimes we question? Why cover things like this. Then we think about our ancestors who were enslaved. 👉🏿 youtu.be/EKOe90TofwY
To succeed, we must be able to distinguish *real* grassroots from astroturf.
“Separate the wheat from the chaff”
Not everyone is who they claim or feign to be.
Study history.
Watch actions.
LISTEN TO LANGUAGE.
Use your discernment.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS FAMILY
RUBY BRIGES IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLDER THAN ME - I WAS ALIVE WHEN THIS HAPPENED - NOT THAT LONG AGO
THEY PUT A BLACK DOLL IN A COFFIN TO TERROR*ZE A SIX-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHOSE ONLY "CRIME" WAS WALKING INTO A WHITE SCHOOL.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The photo shows a Nov. 23, 1960, mock funeral protest at Louisiana's State Capitol in Baton Rouge for Judge J. Skelly Wright, not an incident at Ruby Bridges' New Orleans school. Bridges has described a similar taunt outside her school.

Our 2026 Candidate Forum was an overwhelming success! Thank you to everyone who came out and participated!
As American Freedmen, we must be intentional about vetting candidates, asking tough questions, and holding them accountable. Our votes cannot be taken for granted. We need to know where candidates stand on issues that directly impact our community, especially lineage-based reparations, and whether they have a real agenda to address our needs.
This is why forums like these matter. Political engagement is about more than showing up on Election Day. It’s about making sure those seeking to represent us understand our history, our priorities, and our expectations.
Special thanks to our co-sponsors, @cjecofficial, @CABWHP, and @CalMatters, for helping make this event a success!

I’m not gonna lie, Nithya is winning me over with her Black agenda for LA, especially on reparations. Karen Bass inherited Garcetti’s Reparations Advisory Commission, and I haven’t seen anything come out of it. As a Black Angeleno, I want to see action.

Across the country, Black families are grieving loved ones who were found hanging. Many of these deaths were quickly ruled suicides, while families continued asking questions that reportedly went unanswered. Now, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund is calling on the United Nations to step in and investigate. These families aren't asking for much. They want thorough investigations and the truth about what happened to their loved ones.

“I watched an officer come from the inside of Walmart, not knowing what’s going on, and run out with guns drawn. Five officers with guns drawn at a car with two women and a baby.”
