California Legislative Black Caucus

The brutal assault of a young Black student in her @RialtoUSD middle school classroom in Colton, CA is sickening. We demand accountability.

It doesn’t matter who is in the White House… We keep pushing forward. latimes.com/california/sto…

Black History is Our History! 🖤✊🏿❤️ State Supt. @TonyThurmond highlighted the significant impact of the AP African American Studies course at a press conference hosted by the @CABlackCaucus and @CollegeBoard today at the State Capitol.

If Trump truly possessed any semblance of "common sense," then we would be focusing on finding the cause of this incident rather than continually denigrating American citizens.

As citizens grieve, Trump sows division over unity. Diversity initiatives were created to rectify long-standing practices of excluding non-whites from public life. Attempting to blame DEI for this tragedy is another example of misguided hatred of those who do not look like you.

The California Legislative Black Caucus stands ready to protect our people. We will continue to fight for justice, equity, and the well-being of our communities. (4/4)

Additionally, eliminating environmental justice initiatives disproportionately impacts Black communities living near heavy industry and polluted areas. It is crucial to recognize the detrimental effects of these policies and advocate for change. (3/4)

Trump’s policies will have significant and harmful effects on Black communities. The rollback of diversity, equity, & inclusion initiatives undermines efforts to address historic systemic inequalities. (1/4)

Attempting to stop funding for essential services—healthcare, food programs, etc—jeopardizes the wellbeing of countless Black families. Efforts to freeze services for critical programs further exacerbates the challenges faced by many marginalized communities. (2/4)

I had the honor of joining the San Diego Lunar New Year Festival today, celebrating the incredible individuals who’ve made such an impact on the Little Saigon community. It was also great meeting new friends along the way. Happy Lunar New Year!

It’s always a pleasure to join @CABlackCaucus at their annual MLK Jr. Day Breakfast Celebration! Dr. King’s legacy of equality and justice for all communities targeted by unwarranted hate is one that lives on today. #MLKJrDay

Today on his born day I’m reminded Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?”

Honored to attend the @CABlackCaucus MLK Jr. Breakfast Celebration celebrating Black leadership and community impact. Grateful for the opportunity to thank CLBC members, constitutional officers, sponsors, and staff for their dedication to equity and opportunity. #EquityInAction

Honored to join the @CABlackCaucus this morning to remember the legacy of Dr. MLK Jr.. In the photo below are @cassidyjdenny, Dr. Nkiruka Ohaegbu, Dr. @DawnteEarlyWest, and Leah Barros & Delilah Clay who have just launched their new firm Barros, Clay and Associates! @DrWeber4CA reminded us that MLK’s last book asked “Where Do We Go From Here”, her answer: Forward. #MLK #SD8 #California

The CLBC stands in strong condemnation of the despicable comments made by @AlvaradoGil2026. Comparing @SenGonzalez33 to the KKK is dangerous, detestable, and downright dirty. Apologize and do better, respectfully.
