HOUSE RESOLUTION TWENTY FIVE BY
SOME REMEMBER GONZALEZ RELATIVE
TO SAYS THEIR SHOP AS DAY.
GONZALEZ THANK YOU MISTER
SPEAKER.
AS CHAIR OF THE LATINO CAUCUS I
RISE TO ASK YOUR SUPPORT OF HR
TWENTY FIVE WHICH IT KNOWLEDGE'S
THE LIFE AND LEGACY ASSESSOR
EACH CHAVEZ.
SENSOR CHAVEZ WAS ONE OF THE
GREATEST LABOR LEADERS OF OUR
GENERATION OR MAYBE THE
GENERATION BEFORE OURS FOR SOME
OF US.
CENTER TRAVIS IS WIFE SIR IT'S
AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE HOW ONE
PERSON CAN HAVE SUCH A HUGE
IMPACT ON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE'S
LIVES.
I APPRECIATE THAT THANK YOU.
MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND --
I LIKE MANY OF YOU ATTENDED A
NUMBER OF EVENTS IN HONOR SAYS
OR CHAVEZ.
AND I ALWAYS ENJOY THESE EVENTS.
BUT SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT WE
SANITIZE HISTORY IN A WAY THAT
FITS OUR OWN LIKING.
AND SO WE HEAR ABOUT SAYS ARE
CHAVEZ BEING A GREAT EDUCATIONAL
LEADER A CIVIL RIGHTS ICON.
SOMEBODY WHO CARED ABOUT ANIMALS
IN THE ENVIRONMENT WHILE ALL
THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE.
MAKE NO MISTAKE.
FIRST IN FOUR MONTHS CENTER
TRAVIS WAS A LABOR LEADER.
HIS ENTIRE GOAL OF ORGANIZING
WAS TO PROTECT WORKERS.
AND NOT JUST ANY WORKERS THE
MOST VULNERABLE WORKERS IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND IN OUR NATION.
WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF DEBATES ON
FARMWORKERS ON THIS FLOOR SINCE
I'VE BEEN HERE.
AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS A PRETTY
HISTORY WE LIKE TO TALK ABOUT.
BECAUSE FARMWORKERS IN FACT DID
COME.
FROM PLANTATIONS IN SLAVERY.
IN EVOLVED INTO A PAID A
PROFESSION ALTHOUGH HISTORICALLY
IN HERE IN THE UNITED STATES
OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA.
THEY ARE NOT TREATED EQUALLY.
IN MOST STATES THEY STILL DON'T
HAVE THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO
MINIMUM WAGE.
BUT HERE IN CALIFORNIA WE'VE
DONE BETTER AND WE'VE DONE
BETTER BECAUSE OF THE WORK
ASSESSOR CHAVEZ IN STARTING THE
UNITED FARM WORKERS IN THE EARLY
NINETEEN SIXTIES.
OF HIS COALITION BUILDING WITH
FILIPINO FARM WORKER LEADERS TO
STRIKE AND DEMANDS MORE IN.
NINETEEN SIXTY FIVE TO THE
CREATION OF THE A. R. B. IN.
NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE TO THE
DEMAND THAT MINIMUM WAGE APPLY
TO FARMWORKERS IN JUST A FEW
YEARS AGO ON THIS FLOOR.
THE FINAL DEMAND AFTER FORTY
YEARS TO ENSURE THAT FARMWORKERS
FINALLY AND THIS YEAR WE'RE
FINALLY SEEING THE RESULT OF
THIS WELL ACTUALLY GET.
OVER TIME AFTER AN EIGHT HOUR
DAY LIKE EVERY OTHER WORKER.
TODAY I ASK THAT YOU HONOR
THAT'S OUR JOB AS NOT JUST AS
SOMEBODY WHO WHO IS GREAT.
IN THE HISTORY BOOKS BECAUSE HE
SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THE CROSS
SEXUALITY OF OUR PROGRESSIVE
MOVEMENT.
BUT BECAUSE HE FOUGHT FOR
WORKERS AND WE STILL NEED THAT
KIND OF FIGHT TODAY.
ALTHOUGH NOT ALL WORKERS IN THE
SAME POSITION AS FARMWORKERS WE
HAVE FAR TOO MANY IN CALIFORNIA.
THAT STILL DON'T ENJOY THE SAME
RIGHTS AS YOU AND I THE RIGHT TO
MINIMUM WAGE AND OVERTIME.
THE RIGHT TO FEET PAID FAMILY
LEAVE OR SICK DAYS.
THE RIGHT TO WORKERS
COMPENSATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE SO THAT FIGHT
CONTINUES TODAY.
AND MY FAVORITE QUOTE MY
FAVORITE QUOTE FROM SAYS HER
CHAVEZ.
IS ONE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HONORING
SOMEBODY SOMETHING WE ALL ARE.
WILLING TO DO.
AND DOING SOMETHING.
HE SAID TALK IS CHEAP.
IT'S THE WAY WE ORGANIZE AND USE
OUR LIVES EVERY DAY.
THAT TELLS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
[inaudible]
WELL.
I BELIEVE IN WORKERS AND SO IT'S
AN HONOR TO STAND TODAY. TO
HIGHLIGHT.
A MAN.
AN ICON.
WHO ALSO BELIEVED IN WORKERS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE?
MR MEDINA YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE JEWISH
CAUCUS.

TWENTY FIVE SAYS ARE CHAVEZ WAS
A HUMAN RIGHTS LEADER WHO
BROUGHT DIGNITY TO THE LABOR
FORCE.
ON CALIFORNIA FARMS.
HE EMPOWERED AN ENTIRE
NONVIOLENT MOVEMENT THAT STOOD
FOR EQUALITY AND JUSTICE.
SAYS ARE CHAVEZ WAS ALSO AN
INSPIRATION TO THE JEWISH
COMMUNITY.
AT THE RISE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS
ERA.
THE OPPRESSION OF LET YOU KNOW
FARMWORKERS VIOLATED JEWISH LAW.
AND JEWISH VALUES.
FOLLOWING THE WORDS OF THE TORAH
THOU SHALL NOT OPPRESS.
JEWS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
STOOD BESIDE SAYS A CHAVEZ AND
THE LABOR MOVEMENT.
IN SOLIDARITY ORTHODOX RABBIS
DECLARED THE GRAPES THAT CAME
FROM FARMS OF EXPLOITED LABOR TO
BE -- SHACK OR UNCLEAN.
THIS MORNING I HEARD THE STORY
FROM MARC GROSSMAN WHO WORK WAS
SAYS OUR JOB IS FOR FIVE DOLLARS
A WEEK.
MARC GROSSMAN TELLS THE STORY
THAT SAYS SARS WIFE HELEN WAS
OPENING UP LETTERS.
WITH HER SISTER.
AND AS THEY OPEN THE LETTERS
THEY NOTICED THAT MANY OF THE OF
THE LETTERS WRITTEN WITH THE
CHECKS.
DONATED TO THE UNITED FARM
WORKERS.
THE SISTER SAID ALL HAVE THE
SAME NAME.
RE BE.
HELLO AND HOW TO CORRECT HER
SISTER AND SAY THAT'S NOT RE BE
THAT'S RABBI.
ALL THOSE CHECKS COMING FROM
RABBIS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
RABBI JOSEPH BLASIER EXECUTIVE
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CENTRAL
CONFERENCE OF AMERICAN RABBIS AT
THE TIME SAID THAT AMERICAN JEWS
SHOULD NOT BY TABLE GRAPES.
SO THEY ARE KOSHER.
TELL THE PEOPLE WHO STOOP AND
SQUAT AND GO THROUGH ALL KINDS
OF HELP.
OUT THERE IN THE FIELDS WERE
TREATED RIGHT.
THOSE GRAPES ARE NOT KOSHER.
ACTIVE IS DRIVEN BY JUDAISM'S
TEACHING OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

ECONOMIC EQUALITY TO MIGRANT

I HAD THE HONOR AND THE
PRIVILEGE TO MARCH WAS SAYS A

BLACK CAUCUS WE'RE HONORED TO
HONOR CESA CHAVEZ ON HIS DAY.
A DAY THAT WE THINK IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE
MLK DAY IN TERMS OF PROVIDING IT
INDIVIDUALS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY.
TO WORK HARD TO BRING CHANGE.
WITH KNOWLEDGE ACESSO CHAVEZ FOR
WHAT HE GAVE US WHICH WAS
COURAGE.
COURTESY BEYOND THE CURRENT SUCH
CIRCUMSTANCES AND TO ENVISION A
WORLD THAT DID NOT EXIST AT THE
TIME.
IT TOOK COURAGE TO SACRIFICE HIS
OWN LIFE HIS OWN CAREER. FOR
THOSE WHO STOOD A NEED FOR
PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE POOR
AND POWERLESS AND SOME FOLKS
EYES AT TO TREMENDOUS COURAGE.
IT TOOK COURAGE TO LIVE ONE'S
COMMITMENT TO HELP THOSE
INDIVIDUALS TO ACHIEVE WHAT WAS
NECESSARY IN THE FEELS.
AND TO GIVE THEM A LEADER AND A
VOICE THAT WAS UNAFRAID.
AND OBVIOUSLY TOOK COURAGE TO
WALK WITH DELIVERANCE AND SIMPLY
TAKE ACTIONS WERE ACTION WAS
NEEDED.
MY ANGELO SAYS THAT IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY LIVE OUT
THE VALUES OF YOUR LIFE WITHOUT
COURAGE.
BECAUSE WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE IN
IT WILL TAKE COURAGE TO
IMPLEMENT THAT ON A CONSISTENT
BASIS.
YOU I'M PROUD TO STAND A DAY
BECAUSE I'M PROBABLY ONE OF THE
FEW ALONG WITH MY COLLEAGUES.
WHO ACTUALLY REMEMBER CESA
CHAVEZ?
REMEMBER THE GREAT STRIKE AND
REMEMBER THE MOVEMENT.
MY ROOMMATE AT THE TIME.
WAS A YOUNG LATINO FROM BUT SOME
SAN BERNADINO.
WHO DID NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WANTED
TO DO WITH HER LIFE BUT SHE WAS
PERSISTENT ABOUT GOING TO SCHOOL?
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOKED UP
AND IRENE WAS GONE.
SHE HAD GONE TO THE GRADE STRIKE.
SHE'D BEEN A STUDENT FOR TWO
YEARS AT UCLA.
AND THOUGHT IT WAS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT FOR HER TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE TO BASICALLY
CHALLENGE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND
THAT INSPIRED ALL OF US BECAUSE
WE WERE YOU KNOW COMFORTABLE
SOMEWHAT COMFORTABLE POOR
STUDENTS AT UCLA IN THE DORM.
AND KIND OF A DISTANCE FROM THE
GREAT STRIKE.
AND I READ LESS.
IN THE MIDDLE OF HER JUNIOR YEAR.
TO GO INTO WORK IN THE GREAT IN
IN THE FEELS.
IT CHANGED HER LIFE.
AND IT REALLY CHANGED HOURS
BECAUSE WE REALIZE OF IRENE IS
OUT THERE FIGHTING WE COULD NOT
BE SITTING HERE IN WESTWOOD
EATING GRAPES.
WE HAVE TO FIGHT IN WHATEVER
CAPACITY WE CAN'T BECAUSE IT WAS
SO IMPORTANT TO HER.
THAT SHE WAS THERE THAT SHE WAS
INVOLVED AND IT INSPIRED HER
THAT SHE BECAME EVENTUALLY END
UP CAME BACK TO SCHOOL.
GOT A DEGREE WENT TO LAW SCHOOL
AND BECAME EIGHT AN ATTORNEY
WITH THE LATINO MOVEMENTS THAT
WITH THEIR IT BECOMES EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT THAT WE LOOK AT THIS
BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT.
A COMFORTABLE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO
MAKE CHANGE.
PEOPLE MAY TREMENDOUS SACRIFICES
IN THE PERSONAL LIVES AND I'M
SURE THEY WERE PROBABLY GO TO
SAID THIS WON'T MATTER.
THIS WON'T COUNT YOU ARE WASTING
YOUR TIME.
AND YET SHE FOUND IT IMPORTANT
AS WELL AS THOUSANDS OF COLLEGE
STUDENTS TO GET INVOLVED IN TO
TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT
WAS THERE.
I WANT TO CHALLENGE US TODAY AS
WE THINK ABOUT OUR COMFORTABLE
SITUATION THAT WE LIVE IN.
THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY
INDIVIDUALS WHETHER WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN OUR STREETS WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT VIOLENCE IN OUR STREETS
WILL EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLICE
OFFICERS IN US.
AND THE USE OF LETHAL FORCE THE
QUESTION BECOMES DO WE HAVE THE
COURAGE TO CHALLENGE THE SYSTEM
THAT EXISTS. TO FIGHT AGAINST
THE SYSTEM THAT PEOPLE HAVE
BECOME VERY COMFORTABLE WITH.
YET HAS RESULTED IN VERY
NEGATIVE AND I THINK ABOUT THAT
ALL THE TIME EVERY TIME WHEN
WE'RE ON THIS FLOOR WE ARE
MAKING IMPORTANT DECISIONS ABOUT
OUR LIVES AND WE CELEBRATE THE
PAST WE'VE CONSTANTLY CELEBRATE
THE PAST.
WITHOUT REALIZING THAT EVERY DAY
WE ARE RIDING THE PAST.
WE'RE WRITING HISTORY FOR THE
DAY THAT WILL BE THE PAST FOR
TOMORROW AND THE QUESTION
BECOMES TO ALL OF US WHAT WILL
OUR CHILDREN SAY ABOUT US WHEN
WE ARE GONE.
WELL THEY TALK ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES WE FACE AND THE

THE CLERK READ.
HOUSE RESOLUTION TWENTY SEVEN BY
SEVEN NUMBER BERMAN RELATIVE TO
THE TWENTY TWENTY DECENNIAL
CENSUS.
MR BERMAN YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES.
TODAY WE ARE ONLY ONE YEAR OUT
FROM SENT TO STAY.
TWENTY TWENTY AND HR TWENTY
SEVEN RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE
OF ENSURING A COMPLETE AND
ACCURATE COUNT IN THE TWENTY
TWENTY CENSUS.
BEGINNING A YEAR FROM NOW THE
UNITED STATES CENSUS BUREAU WILL
BEGIN THE ONCE A DECADE PROCESS
OF COUNTING EVERY PERSON IN THE
COUNTRY.
IT IS NOT HYPERBOLE TO SAY THAT
THE TWENTY TWENTY CENSUS WILL
SHAPE CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE FOR
DECADES.
IT WILL AFFECT FUNDING AND
POLICY DECISIONS THAT IMPACT
EACH AND EVERYONE OF THE
COMMUNITIES WE REPRESENT.
CENSUS DATA IS USED TO DETERMINE
THE NUMBER OF SEATS EACH STATE
HAS IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.
AND IT IS TEN TO DISTRIBUTE
HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN FEDERAL FUNDING.
UNDER ACCOUNT COULD THREATEN AT
LEAST ONE OF CALIFORNIA SEATS IN
THE U. S. HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.
AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OUR
STATE SHARE OF FEDERAL FUNDS FOR
EDUCATION.
HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE AND
OTHER VITAL SERVICES.
WITH MUCH TO LOSE IT IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT EVERY
RESIDENT IN CALIFORNIA IS
COUNTED IN THE TWENTY TWENTY
CENSUS.
ACCORDINGLY OUR STATE IS MADE AN
UNPRECEDENTED INVESTMENT IN
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH AND WE'RE
ORGANIZING EARLIER THAN EVER
BEFORE.
WITH BETTER COORDINATION.
BUT FOR ALL OF OUR EFFORTS THE
CHALLENGES TO A COMPLETE COUNTER
GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE.
THE STAKES ARE TOO HIGH AND
THERE ARE NO DO OVERS.
WITH THREE HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE
DAYS AGO I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL
OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO
ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGING THE MOST
VULNERABLE AND HARD TO COUNT --
POPULATIONS WHOSE PARTICIPATION
IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS IN
SECURING A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE
COUNT OF ALL CALIFORNIANS.
BUT EACH OF US HAS A ROLE TO
PLAY.
WE ARE ALSO TRUSTED MESSENGERS
AND WE NEED TO GET WORD OUT
ABOUT THE CENSUS AND WHY
PARTICIPATION IS SO IMPORTANT.
THERE WILL BE MANY OPPORTUNITIES
FOR EACH OF US TO ENGAGE IN THE
COMING YEAR AND I ENCOURAGE ALL
OF YOU TO DO SO.
YOU CAN START TODAY BY JOINING
ME IN SUPPORTING HR TWENTY SEVEN
AS WE KICK OFF THE YEAR LEADING

CAUCUS TO SUPPORT HR.
TWENTY SEVEN AND ITS MESSAGE OF
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DICE ENELE
CENSUS.
CALIFORNIA'S EFFORTS IS
IMPORTANT TO EVERY PERSON IN OUR
STATE BUT OUR EFFORTS TO REACH A
COMPLETE COUNT ARE ESPECIALLY
CRITICAL FOR COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR WHERE THERE IS A HISTORY
OF UNTER CAM UNDER COUNTING
CALIFORNIANS.
BOTH CITIZENS AND UNDOCUMENTED.
CALIFORNIA'S POOR PERFORMANCE IN
THE NINETEEN NINETY CENSUS
RESULTED IN AN UNDERCOUNT OF
SOME EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN
THOUSAND PERSONS.
COSTING OUR STATE BILLIONS IN
FEDERAL FUNDS OVER THE OVER THE
SUCCEEDING TEN YEARS AND A VERY
MALE MAY HAVE EVEN COST US A
SEAT IN CONGRESS.
SOME STONE EFFORTS IN
200-020-0010 CENSUS PROVED OUR
ACCOUNTS.
IMPROVED OUR ACCOUNTS BUT STILL
RESULT IN UNDER COUNTING INCOMES
CONSIDERATE.
COMMISERATE SKEWS ME LOTS OF
FEDERAL RESOURCES.
THE TWENTY TWENTY SINCE THIS
WILL BE QUICKLY UPON THIS AND I
AM PROUD TO SERVE WITH CHAIRMAN
BERMAN ON THE ASSEMBLY SELECT
COMMITTEE ON THE CENSUS.
CREATED AFTER GOVERNOR BROWN
ISSUED HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER
ESTABLISHING THE CALIFORNIA
COMPLETE COUNT IT COMMITTEE LAST
APRIL.
IT'S OUR STATE EARLIEST EFFORT
TODAY.
THROUGH SCHOOL BASED OUT REACH
PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND EXPANDED
MULTI LINGUAL MULTI MEDIA
CAMPAIGN.
IT IS MY GREAT HOPE THAT WE WILL
COUNT EVERY PERSON IN CALIFORNIA.
TO PROTECT OUR FIFTY THREE SEATS
IN THE U. S. CONGRESS HAVE
ACCURATE REPRESENTATION IN STATE
AND CONGRESSIONAL LIKE IT'S
LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS.
AND RECEIVE A FAIR SHARE
RESOURCES FROM FEDERAL SPENDING
PROGRAMS.
THANK YOU MISTER BERMAN FOR

RENTERS PEOPLE LIVING CLOSE TO
ARE AT THE POVERTY LINE.
IN CHILDREN YOUNGER IN THE AGE
OF FIVE THE AFRICAN AMERICAN
COMMUNITY AND COMMITTEES OF
COLOR HAVE LONG BEEN UNDER
COUNTED IN PRIOR.
A CENSUS THIS IS WHY WE A
COMPLETE ACCURATE COUNT OF OUR
OF OUR STATE'S POPULATION AND
ACCURATE COUNT NOT ONLY
DETERMINES THE APPROPRIATE
NUMBER OF CONGRESSIONAL SEATS
BUT HOW MUCH MONEY CALIFORNIA
RECEIVES.
FOR EDUCATION PROGRAMS HEALTH
CARE PROGRAMS -- PROGRAMS THAT
MONITOR DISCRIMINATION IMPLEMENT
CIVIL RIGHTS AND REMEMBER FEWER
FEDERAL DOLLARS.
AS OF AS OF OUR IMPROPER CENSUS
MEANS MORE PRESSURE ON OUR STATE
