ASSEMBLY. THIRD READING FILE
ITEMS ONE AND TWO SHALL BE

IS FILE ITEM THREE. I MISS
AGUIAR-CURRY HOUSE RESOLUTION
SIX. THE CORPORAL READ
RESOLUTION SIX BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S AGUIAR-CURRY
AND OTHERS RELATIVE TO
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. AND AS A
MEMBER AGUIAR-CURRY, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. GOOD MORNING AND
THANK YOU. MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS AS VICE CHAIR OF THE
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS. I
RISE TODAY TO PRESENT HOUSE
RESOLUTION SIX RECOGNIZING
JANUARY 22ND 2023 AS 1/50
ANNIVERSARY UM OF THE SUPREME
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
LANDMARK DECISION OF ROE V. WADE
WHICH AFFIRMED THAT EVERY. ONE
HAS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO
CONTROL THEIR OWN REPRODUCTION,
REPRODUCTIVE DECISIONS AND TO
DECIDE WHETHER TO CONTINUE A
PREGNANCY OR TO OBTAIN AN
ABORTION. IN 1965 PRIOR TO ROE
V. WADE DECISIONS, LACK OF
ACCESS TO SAFE AND LEGAL
ABORTIONS COST PREGNANT PEOPLE,
THEIR HEALTH AND THEIR LIVES.
ACCOUNTING FOR APPROXIMATELY 17%
OF ALL REPORTED DEATHS
ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREGNANCY AND
CHILDBIRTH, AND MANY WERE
SEVERELY INJURED AS A RESULT OF
UNSAFE ABORTION PROCEDURES. ROE
V. WADE WAS A VICTORY FOR PEOPLE
TO OWN THEIR OWN BODIES AND LAY
THE GROUNDWORK FOR FURTHER
REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL HEALTH
CARE POLICIES THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. BUT ON JOHN JUNE 24TH
2020 FOR ROE V. WADE WAS
OVERTURNED. BY 6 TO 3 VOTE OF
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
AND DOBBS VERSUS JACKSON WOMEN'S
HEALTH ORGANIZATION. MANY HERE
ON THIS FLOOR HAVE NEVER KNOWN A
TIME WITHOUT A RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
WITH ROE V. WADE OVERTURNED, 26
STATES ARE POISED TO BAN
ABORTION ACCESS IMPACTING 36
MILLION WOMEN AND EVEN MORE
PEOPLE WHO COULD BECOME
PREGNANT. A LACK OF ACCESS TO
SERVICES ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES. JUST PROPORTIONATELY
AFFECTS COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES. TRANS
AND OTHER MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT
HAVE THE MEANS TO TRAVEL FAR.
INCLUDING ACROSS THE STATE LINES
FOR AN ABORTION. FOLLOWING THE
DECISION TO OVERTURN ROE V. WADE
THE LEGISLATURE PASSED AND THE
GOVERNOR SIGNED A COMPREHENSIVE
PACKAGE OF LEGISLATION EXPANDING
, PROTECTING AND STRENGTHENING
ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
CARE, INCLUDING ABORTIONS FOR
ALL CALIFORNIANS AND PEOPLE
SEEKING SUCH CARE IN OUR STATE.
AND IN NOVEMBER CALIFORNIA
VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTED
PROPOSITION ONE AND THEN ACTED A
STATE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO
PROHIBIT THE STAY FROM
INTERFERING WITH AN INDIVIDUAL'S
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM IN THEIR
MOST INTIMATE DECISIONS, WHICH
INCLUDES THEIR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
TO CHOOSE TO HAVE AN ABORTION
AND THEIR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT. TO
CHOOSE OR REFUSE CONTRACEPTIVES.
UNTIL THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, THE UNITED STATES
, CONGRESS ENACT FEDERAL
LEGISLATION. THAT GUARANTEES
THAT GUARANTEES THE RIGHT TO
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM, INCLUDING
ABORTION AND CONTRACEPTION.
CALIFORNIA WILL HAVE TO BE THE
SAFE HAVEN FOR THOSE SEEKING AN
ABORTION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MEMBERS, AND I APPRECIATE THOSE
THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THEM
TO DO SO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MISS AGUIAR-CURRY AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CERVANTES, WHO
WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS TODAY. I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF HOUSE
RESOLUTION SIX ON BEHALF OF THE
LATINO CAUCUS AND THE L G B T Q
CAUCUS. I ALSO RISE AS A PROUD
CO WHAT THEY'RE OF THIS CRITICAL
RESOLUTION AND THANK OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM WINTER'S FOR
AUTHORING IT. TODAY BEFORE THE
EXTREME ACTIONS OF A RIGHT WING
REACTIONARY SUPREME COURT. WE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN CELEBRATING 50
YEARS OF ROE V. WADE PROVIDING
UNINTERRUPTED PROTECTIONS OF THE
RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND BURNING
PEOPLE TO HAVE AUTONOMY OVER
THEIR BODIES. UNFORTUNATELY LAST
YEAR WE SAW FIVE UNELECTED
ACTIVIST JUSTICES ON THE SUPREME
COURT, FOUR OF WHOM ARE MEN.
TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT TO MAKE THAT
DECISION FOR MILLIONS OF WOMEN
IN BIRTHING PEOPLE ACROSS
AMERICA. AS A MOTHER OF TRIPLETS
BY CHOICE. I KNOW THAT THE
DECISION OF WHETHER TO START A
FAMILY OR NOT, IS A DEEPLY
PERSONAL DECISION. THAT SHOULD
BE BETWEEN A FAMILY AND THEIR
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. AS WE
FEARED. THE BURDEN OF THIS
RECKLESS DECISION HAS FALLEN
DISPROPORTIONALLY ON PEOPLE WHO
HISTORICALLY FACE SYSTEMIC
BARRIERS. TO HEALTH CARE ACCESS.
INCLUDING BLACK LATINO
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, LGBTQ
COMMUNITIES. PEOPLE LIVING IN
RURAL COMMUNITIES. IMMIGRANTS.
PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDOCUMENTED
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND
WORKING PEOPLE WHO ARE
STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
MEMBERS EVERY PERSON. EVERY
PERSON DESERVES ACCESS TO
REPRODUCTIVE CARE WITHOUT FACING
OBSTACLES OR POLITICAL
INTERFERENCE. REGARDLESS OF
THEIR RACE, THEIR CREED NATIONAL
ORIGIN. SEXUAL ORIENTATION,
GENDER IDENTITY, GENDER
EXPRESSION OR GEOGRAPHIC
LOCATION OR INCOME. MAKE NO
MISTAKE. THE SUPREME COURT DID
NOT END ABORTIONS. IT'S SIMPLY
MADE THEM DANGEROUS AND 13
STATES THAT HAVE SINCE OUTLAWED
ABORTION RIGHTS. IN EFFECT, THE
COURT IS NOW FORCING MANY WOMEN
AND BURNING PEOPLE WITH A TOPIC
PREGNANCIES TO FACE PROSPECTS OF
DEATH. MEMBERS, MANY OF YOU
WE'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE TO BE TOLD BY A HEALTH CARE
PROVIDER. THAT YOU MAY HAVE AN
UP TOPIC PREGNANCY. I KNOW THOSE
WORDS. THOSE ARE THE WORDS THAT
I WAS TOLD. BEFORE THE BIRTH. MY
RAINBOW BABIES. THE COURT HAS
FORCED WOMEN IN BIRTHING PEOPLE
TO SUFFER PHYSICALLY.
PSYCHOLOGICALLY. AND EMOTIONAL
CONSEQUENCES OF UNWANTED
PREGNANCIES, EVEN IF IT MEANS
LOSING THEIR LIVES. AND IF YOU
THINK THE SUPREME COURT WILL
STOP AT THE TRAVESTY OF
OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE WE NEED
NOT LOOK FURTHER, THEN. READING
JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS'S
CONCURRING OPINION IN THAT HE
STATES HIS BELIEF THAT THE COURT
SHOULD REVISIT PRECEDENTS OF
PROTECTING OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS, INCLUDING MARRIAGE
EQUALITY. AS A MEMBER OF THE
CALIFORNIA LGBTQ CAUCUS. I AM
CONCERNED THAT THE RIGHT WING
ACTIVIST MAJORITY ON THE STREET
SUPREME COURT IS HELL BENT ON
TAKING AWAY THE RIGHTS OF OUR
LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY. AFTER
HAVING DONE THE SAME TO WOMEN IN
BURNING PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA.
THANKFULLY THIS LEGISLATURE AND
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA ACTED
LAST FALL TO APPROVE PROPOSITION
ONE AND OFFICIALLY ENSHRINED THE
RIGHT TO REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
AND CONTRACEPTION IN OUR STATE
CONSTITUTION. AS A RESULT, WE
MAY FEEL SAFE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA, BUT THE WORK IS NOT
DONE. WE CANNOT BECOME
COMPLACENT. THE PASSAGE OF
PROPOSITION ONE IN CALIFORNIA
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS FIGHT IS
OVER. THIS BATTLE MUST CONTINUE
UNTIL EVERY WOMAN IN BIRTHING
PERSON ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
THE STATE OF OUR UNION. REGAIN
AUTONOMY OVER THEIR BODY. REST
ASSURED THAT CALIFORNIA WILL NOT
STOP FIGHTING FOR THIS
FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM, AND NEITHER
WILL I. AND NEITHER WILL MEMBERS
OF THE LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S
CAUCUS. SO COLLEAGUES I STAND
PROUD TO RISE AND ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE ON HR SIX AND THANK OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM WINTERS. THANK
YOU, MR MONTES. AND REMEMBER,
BAUER CAN HEAR RECOGNIZED AT
YOUR DESK. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I RISE TODAY IN SUPPORT
OF HR SIX BECAUSE MY ENTIRE LIFE
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WALK INTO
MY PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE SO WHITE
WOMAN OF PRIVILEGE WITH
INCREDIBLE HEALTHCARE. AND HAVE
A CONVERSATION EVERY STEP OF THE
WAY. WHEN I WAS DECIDING WHEN
AND IF TO HAVE CHILDREN OF WHAT
THAT LOOKS LIKE. I TOO, LIKE MY
COLLEAGUE FACED IN ECTOPIC
PREGNANCY MISCARRIAGE. LIKE MANY
OF THE WOMEN ON THIS FLOOR, IT'S
NOT EASY. IT'S NOT EASY TO GET
PREGNANT. IT'S NOT EASY TO STAY
PREGNANT. IT'S NOT EASY TO BE
PREGNANT, AND IT'S NOT EASY TO
RAISE CHILDREN AS MANY OF YOU
KNOW. AND IF WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS AND
THE RIGHTS TO BE A THANA MUS.
THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO
DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR OWN
BODY TO OUR OWN FUTURE. WE KNOW
THAT IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST
EQUALIZERS OF WOMEN IN THE
WORKFORCE, THE ABILITY TO
CONTROL OUR OWN FUTURE. AND ALL
OF THAT HAS BEEN STRIPPED AWAY
FROM US BY THE SUPREME COURT. I
LOOK INTO THE EYES OF MY
DAUGHTER. AND I REALIZED THAT
WHEN IT'S TIME FOR HER TO LEAVE
HOME I'M GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A
REAL CONVERSATION OF WHERE SHE
SHOULD GO. BECAUSE IF SHE WALKS
INTO A HOSPITAL, IT NEEDS THE
CARE THAT I NEEDED OVER THE
COURSE OF MY LIFE. THERE ARE
PLACES IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE SHE
WILL NO LONGER GET THAT CARE.
THAT'S THE REALITY FACING WOMEN
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. MY DAUGHTER
IS PRIVILEGED. AND COULD COME
HOME IF GIVEN THE TIME, BUT
LET'S BE CLEAR. THERE ISN'T
ALWAYS THE TIME WHEN YOU NEED
THE CARE THAT SOME OF US REQUIRE
WHEN FACING A PREGNANCY. BUT THE
SILVER LINING OF ALL OF THIS. IS
IT? THE 26 STATES? WE THOUGHT
WOULD OVERTURN THE RIGHT TO
ABORTION. SLOWER THAN ANY OF US
EXPECTED BECAUSE THE PEOPLE
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY HAVE STOOD
UP. THEY STOOD UP TIME AND AGAIN
THROUGHOUT THE LAST YEAR TO
DEMAND THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO
CONTROL THEIR OWN BODIES. THEY
HAVE VOTED TO ENSURE THE RIGHT
TO ABORTION IS SACROSANCT IN
THEIR STATES. WE'VE SEEN COURTS
IN STATES WE NEVER EXPECTED IT'S
PROTECT THIS FUNDAMENTAL
FREEDOM. AND SO THE FIGHT
CONTINUES BECAUSE IT'S NOT OVER
. THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V. WADE
WAS NOT THE END. IT IS THE
BEGINNING OF THIS FIGHT BECAUSE
WE KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO NEED
THAT CONTROL AND LIKE OUR CHAIR
SAID WE PASSED A PACKAGE OF
BILLS LAST YEAR. THAT WAS THE
BEGINNING OF ENSURING THE
CALIFORNIA'S A REPRODUCTIVE
FREEDOM STATE FOR ALL, BUT
THERE'S MUCH MORE WORK TO BE
DONE. AND THERE WILL BE MORE
BILLS THIS YEAR, AND I HOPE THAT
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WILL
SUPPORT THEM, NO MATTER WHY YOU
SUPPORT THEM. BECAUSE PEOPLE
DESERVE THIS FREEDOM AND THIS
RIGHT AND TO CONTROL THEIR OWN
BODIES. AND THEIR OWN FUTURES.
BUT WE MUST CONTINUE TO REMEMBER
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN'T
AND WON'T LEAVE THEIR STATES.
AND WE HAVE INCREDIBLE
PHYSICIANS AND I MOSTLY STOOD UP
ACTUALLY TO SAY THIS. TO THANK
THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY. WHO HAVE NOT
STOPPED PROVIDING THE CARE THAT
WOMEN IN BIRTHING PEOPLE NEED.
THEY ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF
THIS. THEY ARE SEEING PATIENTS
EVERY DAY. THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT
IT MEANS TO TURN SOMEONE AWAY
WHEN THE CARE THEY WANT AND NEED
CANNOT BE PROVIDED. AND I KNOW
WE HAVE DOCTORS ON THE FLOOR
THAT UNDERSTAND THAT. AND NURSES
AND NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND NOW
PHARMACISTS, THANKS TO THE
RECENT DECISION TO ALLOW
PHARMACISTS TO PROVIDE MEDICATED
ABORTIONS. AND I WANT TO THANK
THEM. BECAUSE THEY'VE SHOWN UP
AT OUR DOORS ASKING FOR OUR HELP
TO PROTECT THEM THEIR LICENSES
AND THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE
CARE. AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO
AND SO I WANT THE WOMEN OF
CALIFORNIA. THE BIRTHING PEOPLE
HERE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO
KNOW THAT WE WILL CONTINUE IN
THIS FIGHT UNTIL THE DAY AGAIN
WHEN EVERY SINGLE PERSON ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY HAS ACCESS TO
ABORTION MORE SO THAN BEFORE ROE
WAS OVERTURNED IN THEIR OWN
COMMUNITIES WITH HEALTHCARE
PROVIDERS THAT CAN PROVIDE THEM
THE CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE
THEY DESERVE. THAT'S THE WORK WE
HAVE AHEAD OF US. AND I ASK THAT
WE ALL DO THAT WORK. IN ADDITION
TO SUPPORTING HR SIX THANK YOU,
MR BAUER. KANE. AND SEEING NO
OTHER MEMBERS WISHING TO BE
RECOGNIZED IN THIS RESOLUTION.
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER,
MISS AGUIAR CURRY, YOU MAY
CLOSE. YES. MR SPEAKER. I
REQUEST THE FIRST ROLL CALL TO
BE OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON HR SIX. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
MR AGUIAR-CURRY IN THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROLE THIS IS FOR
CO AUTHORS MEMBERS. IF YOU WISH
TO BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR,
PLEASE SIGNIFY BY PRESSING YOUR
VOTE BUTTON. AND IF YOU HAVE NOT
YET, PLEASE ACTIVATE YOUR VOTING
MECHANISM. ALL THOSE WISHING TO
BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR, PLEASE
SIGNIFY BY PRESSING YOUR BUTTON.
CLERK WILL CLOSE THE ROLE AND
THERE ARE 61 CO AUTHORS. AND
WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE COULD TAKE
A VOICE VOTE ON THIS MEASURE.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL
THOSE OPPOSED, SAY, NAY GUYS
HAVEN'T RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED.
MEMBERS WILL NOW BE MOVING TO A
GERMANS AND MEMORY. AND WE ASK
THAT YOU GIVE RESPECTFUL
ATTENTION TO THOSE GRANTED PRIOR
PERMISSION TO SPEAK ON AN
ADJOURNMENT IN MEMORY. AND IT'S
A MEMBER WICKS. YOU RECOGNIZE
THAT YOUR DESK FOR YOUR
ADJOURNMENT AND MEMORY? THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER AND GOOD MORNING
MEMBERS. GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS.
I RISE TO ADJOURN THE MEMORY OF
FRED ROSS JR. A LEGEND IN THE
LABOR MOVEMENT WHO PASSED AWAY
ON NOVEMBER 20TH AFTER A
COURAGEOUS BATTLE WITH CANCER.
FREDERICK GIBSON. ROSS WAS BORN
OCTOBER 14TH 1947 IN LONG BEACH
AND SPENT HIS EARLY YEARS IN LOS
ANGELES. HIS FATHER, THE
LEGENDARY LABOR ORGANIZER, FRED
ROSS SR. WORKED AT COMMUNITY
SERVICE ORGANIZATION ON BEHALF
OF LATINO CIVIL RIGHTS. HIS
MOTHER, FRANCES GIBSON, HAD BEEN
A ROSIE THE RIVETER AT AN OHIO
FACTORY IN WORLD WAR TWO. FRED
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE WAS AN
ORGANIZER. AMONG OTHER THINGS,
FRED HELPED DEVELOP AND WAS
KNOWN FOR WAS FAMOUS FOR REALLY
THE HOUSE MEETING CAMPAIGN
STRATEGY. THIS WAS A STRATEGY
THAT I USED FOR YEARS AS AN
ORGANIZER AND INCLUDING, AND THE
VICTORY OF MY 2018 ASSEMBLY RACE
. I HAD 239 HOUSE MEETINGS ON
THAT CAMPAIGN. HIS LIFE IS AN
ORGANIZER BEGAN WITH ANTI WAR
PROTESTS WHILE HE WAS ATTENDING
UC BERKELEY. DURING THE PEOPLE'S
PART CONFLICT IN 1969, HE CAME
TO THE AID OF A PROTESTER WHO
WAS BEING HARASSED BY POLICE AND
GOT ARRESTED ONE OF 39 TIMES IN
HIS LIFE AS AN ACTIVIST AND
ORGANIZER. AND WITH A RECORD
LIKE THAT, HE FIGURED HE NEEDED
A GOOD LAWYER. SO HE BECAME ONE
HE SPENT TWO YEARS AS A PUBLIC
DEFENDER IN SAN FRANCISCO BEFORE
GIVING UP LAW TO BECOME A FULL
TIME ORGANIZER. FRED'S
LEADERSHIP RAN DEEP IN
ORGANIZING CIRCLES AROUND THE
STATE AND IN THE NATION. HE
STARTED HIS WORK AT AN EARLY AGE
IN CALIFORNIA'S LET US FIELDS
ALONGSIDE CESAR CHAVEZ AND THE
UNITED FARM WORKERS MOVEMENT. HE
CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF A MARCH
FROM UNION SQUARE IN SAN
FRANCISCO, GO TO GALLO WINERY
HEADQUARTERS IN MODESTO. 110
MILES. SOME 20,000 PEOPLE
PARTICIPATED IN ALL OR PARTS OF
THE 1975 MARCH, AND THE EFFORT
LED GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN TO SIGN
THE AGRICULTURAL LABOR RELATIONS
ACT TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING FOR FARM
WORKERS. THAT CAMPAIGN STARTED
ROSS ON A 50 YEAR CAREER AS AN
ORGANIZER, THE ONLY JOB TITLE HE
WOULD EVER ACCEPT. HIS CAREER
CONTINUED WITH S E I U WHERE HE
ORGANIZED HOSPITAL WORKERS UNITE
HERE, WHERE HE SUPPORTED HOTEL
WORKERS. AND ULTIMATELY, THE VW
12 45, WHERE HE CHAMPION
ELECTRICAL WORKERS. FRED CHICK
WHAT HE LEARNED FROM LEADERS
LIKE CESAR CHAVEZ AND DOLORES
HUERTA AND HIS FATHER AND
BROUGHT THOSE LESSONS TO FIELD
CAMPAIGNS. HE UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY
HOW BEST TO PUT PRESSURE ON
EMPLOYERS, STATE GOVERNMENTS AND
CONGRESS TO ADVANCE OF VARIETY
OF CAUSES AND WHEN NECESSARY TO
HELP ELECT CANDIDATES
SYMPATHETIC TO THOSE CAUSES. HE
PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE IN
ELECTING NANCY PELOSI FOR
CONGRESS FOR FIRST TIME.
ORGANIZING THE GET OUT THE VOTE
EFFORT FOR HER CAMPAIGN WHEN SHE
RAN IN 1987. HE WENT ON TO JOIN
FORCES WITH HER AGAIN A DECADE
LATER AS HER DISTRICT DIRECTOR
IN OUR SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE. AND
HEARING OF HIS PASSING. NANCY
PELOSI REFLECTED ON HOW MUCH SHE
PERSONALLY BENEFITED FROM FRED'S
ORGANIZATIONAL MASTERY AND HIS
TRANSLATION OF POLICY GOALS INTO
EFFECTIVE POLITICAL ACTION. SHE
SAID, QUOTE WITHOUT HIS EARLY
SUPPORT AND BRILLIANT LEADERSHIP
, ORGANIZING THE GROUND
OPERATION OF MY FIRST CAMPAIGN,
I WOULD HAVE NEVER BECOME A
MEMBER OF CONGRESS. AS A YOUNG
ORGANIZER MYSELF. I CARRIED
AROUND A LITTLE BOOKLET CALLED
AXIOMS FOR ORGANIZERS. THIS IS A
BOOKLET OF ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES
THAT HIS FATHER HAD PUBLISHED.
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE
BEEN ORGANIZERS IN THE LABOR
MOVEMENT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
TALKING ABOUT, ACTUALLY GOT THIS
HANDED TO ME WHEN I WAS AN
ORGANIZER ON HOWARD DEAN'S
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN IOWA IN
2003, AND THEN I AM PART OF THIS
BOOKLET TO OTHER ORGANIZERS WHEN
I WAS AN ORGANIZER FOR BARACK
OBAMA'S FIELD EFFORTS FRED
REALLY EMBODIED THE WORK THAT
WAS IN THAT BOOKLET. HE KNEW
THAT THE DUTY OF THE ORGANIZER
TO PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH THE
OPPORTUNITY TO WORK FOR WHAT
THEY BELIEVE IN FRED UNDERSTOOD
THAT ORGANIZING IS PROVIDING
PEOPLE WITH THE OPPORTUNITY. TO
BECOME AWARE OF THEIR OWN
CAPABILITIES AND POTENTIAL, AND
HE INHERENTLY BELIEVED THAT
ORGANIZING IS ABOUT BUILDING
POWER FOR SOCIETAL CHANGE.
FRED'S LEGACY WILL LIVE ON IN
THE SPIRIT AND WORK OF
ORGANIZERS AROUND THE STATE AND
IN THIS NATION. FOR EVERY HOUSE
MEETING EVERY AGITATION EVERY
MOMENT OF GOOD TROUBLE. WE KNOW
FRED ROSS JR WILL BE A PART OF
US. I'M GRATEFUL FOR HIS EXAMPLE
TWO GENERATIONS OF ORGANIZERS
MYSELF INCLUDED PAST AND PRESENT
AND IT ASKED THAT WE ADJOURN IN
HIS MEMORY. THANK YOU, MISS
WICKS. AND AS I REMEMBER, KALRA
, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK
FOR YOUR ADJOURNMENT AND MEMORY.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE TO
ADJOURN IN MEMORY AND IN HONOR
OF THE LATE LILLIAN DENG, WHO
PASSED AWAY ON DECEMBER 8TH.
2022. BORN ON MAY 30TH 1959 AND
CAMBODIA. LILLIAN DANG SERVICES,
DISTINGUISHED COMMUNITY MEMBER
AND PARTNER OF COUNTLESS
ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING MANY
INCREDIBLE SOCIOECONOMIC,
CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS
COMMITTEES. FROM THE TIME SHE
FIRST ARRIVED IN THIS COUNTRY,
LILLIAN WORKED TIRELESSLY TO
ACHIEVE HER AMERICAN DREAM,
BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSWOMAN AND A DEVOTED
COMMUNITY LEADER. SHE WAS FLUENT
IN ENGLISH, VIETNAMESE MULTIPLE
DIALECTS OF CHINESE AND COME
HERE. HER LANGUAGE, FLUENCY AND
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING SKILLS
ALLOWED HER TO HOST AND CO HOST
MANY MAJOR CHARITABLE EVENTS
THAT POSITIVELY IMPACTED AND
TRANSFORM NOT JUST MY DISTRICT
BUT INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES AS
WELL. I HAD THE FORTUNE. TO KNOW
LILLIAN DURING HER LIFE AND HAD
THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH
HER ON MANY CHARITABLE EVENTS
DEDICATED TO SERVING THE
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN OUR
STATE. AND. SHE ALWAYS EXUDED
LOVE AND COMPASSION WITH THE
COMMUNITY. I THINK THIS WAS VERY
WELL EXEMPLIFIED ON JANUARY
15TH. IN SAN JOSE WHEN I JOINED
HER AND HER FAMILY'S AND FAMILY
AND FRIENDS AND CELEBRATING HER
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND LEGACY AT
THE CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE. AND
IT WAS SUCH A LOVING, BEAUTIFUL
EXPRESSION. OF NOT JUST SORROW.
OF COURSE, THERE WAS SORROW. BUT
OF JOY AND GRATITUDE. TO A WOMAN
THAT'S GOING TO LIVE FOREVER.
NOT JUST IN THE HEARTS AND
MEMORIES OF HER LOVED ONES AND
HER INCREDIBLE FAMILY, BUT HER
FAMILY EXTENDED FAR BEYOND HER
BLOOD RELATIVES. TO SO MANY OF
