ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE OR CHLORINE. HOUSE
RESOLUTION 26 BY ISLAMIYAH
MEMBER FRIEDMAN AND OTHERS
RELATIVE TO THE ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE. FRIEDMAN, YOU MAY OPEN
ON THE MEASURE. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I AM VERY
HONORED TO REPRESENT THE LARGEST
POPULATION OF ARMENIAN AMERICANS
OUTSIDE OF ARMENIA. TODAY IS A
VERY SOLEMN DAY FOR MY DISTRICT
AND FOR ARMENIANS AROUND THE
WORLD. IT BEGAN ON APRIL 24TH
1915 FOR EIGHT LONG, HORRIFIC
YEARS THE ARMENIAN NATION WAS
SUBJECTED TO A SYSTEMATIC AND
PREMEDITATED GENOCIDE AT THE
HANDS OF THE OTTOMAN TURKISH
EMPIRE AND THE REPUBLIC OF
TURKEY. THESE WERE FATHERS,
MOTHERS, HUSBANDS, WIVES,
SISTERS, BROTHERS, SONS AND
DAUGHTERS. ELDERLY ADULTS AND
CHILDREN. 1.5 MILLION ARMENIANS
WERE LOST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF SYRIANS, GREEKS AND OTHER
CHRISTIANS PERISHED IN ONE OF
THE MOST ATROCIOUS VIOLATIONS OF
HUMAN RIGHTS IN HISTORY. IN WHAT
WAS CONSIDERED TO BE THE VERY
FIRST GENOCIDE OF THE 20TH
CENTURY. 108 YEARS LATER. WE ARE
HERE ON THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR TO
REMEMBER THE LIVES LOST THE
HOPES THE DREAMS THE LOVES LOST
DURING THIS DARK CHAPTER OF OUR
SHARED HISTORY. WE THINK ALSO OF
THE LIVES NOT LIVED OF THE WHOLE
THAT REMAINS IN THE SOUL OF THE
ARMENIAN PEOPLE OF THE
SYMPHONIES NEVER WRITTEN. OF THE
CHILDREN NEVER BORN. I THINK
YOURS NEVER FOUND OF THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS NEVER MET. WE
PAY OUR SOLEMN TRIBUTES TO THE
VICTIMS OF THESE UNSPEAKABLE
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. AND
LET'S REMEMBER THAT WE ARE HERE
TO RENEW OUR ETERNAL VOW NEVER
TO ALLOW GENOCIDE TO HAPPEN ON
OUR WATCH. AS ELECTED LEADERS.
AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY. IT'S OUR
DUTY TO ENSURE THAT OUR NATION
AND OUR WORLD ALWAYS RECOGNIZED
GENOCIDES AS WELL AS THE
VICTIMS. DENYING ATROCITIES OR
REMAINING SILENT ONLY ENABLES
THE PERPETRATORS AND INVITES THE
CONTINUING REOCCURRENCE OF
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ARE
MODERN HISTORY IS SADLY FULL OF
EXAMPLES OF THE PERILS OF
SILENCE LESS THAN A DECADE AFTER
THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AS HITLER
DEVELOPED HIS PLANS FOR WHAT WAS
TO BECOME THE HOLOCAUST, HE
REASSURED HIS COMMANDERS THAT
THEY WOULD NOT FACE RETALIATION.
HE DECLARED, WHO, AFTER ALL
SPEAKS TODAY OF THE ANNIHILATION
OF THE ARMENIANS. NOW WE FEEL
THAT WE'VE COME A LONG WAY AND
FIGHTING FOR RECOGNITION AND
EDUCATION HERE IN CALIFORNIA OF
ALL GENOCIDES, AND CERTAINLY THE
ARMENIAN COMMUNITY HERE AT HOME
IN LOS ANGELES AND ACROSS
CALIFORNIA HAVE LED THE WORLD
AND GETTING COUNTRY AFTER NATION
TO RECOGNIZE THE ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE FOR WHAT? IT WAS A
PREMEDITATED GENOCIDE. BUT OUR
WORDS ARE EMPTY. IF WE DON'T
ALSO TAKE THE STEPS. WHEN MORE
VIOLENCE IS DIRECTED, AND MORE
HATRED IS DIRECTED AT ANY
POPULATION, INCLUDING TWO
ARMENIANS TODAY. HERE AT HOME IN
THE FORM OF HATE SPEECH AND
OVERSEAS IN ARMENIA. BECAUSE
EVEN TODAY, TURKEY AND ITS ALLY
AZERBAIJAN CONTINUE TO DENY THE
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. IN RECENT
WEEKS, TURKISH AND ABORIGINAL
LEADERSHIP HAVE MADE HINTS AT A
RACING ARMENIA FROM THE WORLD
MAP. SO WHILE THE ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE OCCURRED OVER A CENTURY
AGO, THE WOUNDS HAVE NOT HEALED.
JUSTICE HAS NOT BEEN SERVED.
REPARATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE.
AND INSTEAD GENOCIDAL ACTS ARE
OCCURRING TODAY. SINCE DECEMBER,
12TH THAT HISTORICALLY, ARMENIAN
PEOPLE OF ARTSAKH HAVE BEEN
LIVING UNDER A BLOCKADE BY
AZERBAIJAN BACKED BY TURKEY. THE
REGION'S 120,000. ARMENIANS HAVE
BEEN LIVING OFF RATION FOOD,
MEDICINE, ELECTRICITY AND GAS
FARMERS, WHO ARE SIMPLY WORKING
IN THEIR FIELDS ARE BEING SHOT
AT THEIR MACHINES ARE BEING
DAMAGED ALL TOWARDS THE GOAL OF
DENYING THE ARMENIANS THEIR
SOURCE OF FOOD AND INCOME. A
SLOW AND PAINFUL GENOCIDE.
MEMBERS OF FEW YEARS AGO, I HAD
THE HONOR OF VISITING ARTSAKH. I
WALKED THOSE GROUNDS AND FELT
WITH MYSELF. THE LIFEBLOOD OF
THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE RUNNING
THROUGH THAT LAND. I STOOD IN
THE MIDDLE OF CHURCHES THAT
DATED BACK TO THE FOURTH
CENTURY. THAT HAD ANCIENT
ARMENIAN WRITINGS ON THE WALL.
TODAY THOSE VERY SAME CHURCHES
ARE BEING STRIPPED. OF THEIR
CULTURAL IDENTITY STRIPPED OF
THOSE HISTORIC ARTIFACT SO
VALUABLE TO THE WHOLE WORLD IN A
KIND OF CULTURAL GENOCIDE THAT
IS OCCURRING ON OUR WATCH ALONG
WITH, OF COURSE, THE
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AND THE
MURDERS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN
THAT REGION, AND IT'S UP TO US
TO STAND UP AND SAY NO. JUST A
FEW WEEKS AGO, THIS BODY PASSED
A J. R ONE LED BY MY COLLEAGUE
FROM PASADENA, WHICH CONDEMNED
THE BLOCKADE THAT IS OCCURRING
RIGHT NOW AND URGED OUR FEDERAL
PARTNERS TO ACT TODAY. I ASKED
THAT WE RENEW OUR EFFORTS TO
REMEMBER THE GENOCIDE OF THE
PAST AND WORK TO PREVENT ANOTHER
ONE FROM OCCURRING ON OUR WATCH.
AS WE HAVE EACH ANNIVERSARY ON
THIS FLOOR, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE
PAIN THAT ECHOES STILL TODAY. WE
ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WHENEVER ONE
GROUP IS MARGINALIZED OR
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, WE ALL
HAVE A DUTY TO SPEAK UP AND TO
PUSH BACK AND TO FIGHT FOR
JUSTICE AND EQUALITY SO THAT NO
ONE WILL KNOW THE PAIN THAT OUR
ANCESTORS KNEW. OVER A CENTURY
LATER, WE ARE ALL STANDING ON
THEIR SHOULDERS TO BUILD A
BETTER COMMUNITY, A BETTER
CALIFORNIA AND A BETTER WORLD
FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THE
GENERATIONS TO COME WITH THAT. I
URGE YOU TO REAFFIRM OUR
HUMANITY AND OUR WILL TO STAND
WITH THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE AND
VOTE. AYE ON HR 26. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR FRIEDMAN AND
ASSEMBLYWOMAN REVIS. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK. THANK
YOU. MR SPEAKER. I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM GLENDALE

ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AS THE CHAIR
OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
DELEGATION. I'M PROUD TO STAND

AND CALIFORNIA'S ARMENIAN
COMMUNITY, MANY OF WHICH LIVE IN
L. A COUNTY. UM I STAND WITH
THEM TO COMMEMORATE THE SOMBER
EVENT THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF
ARMENIANS, SYRIANS AND GREEKS.
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS THE
SUFFERING THAT ARMENIANS HAD TO
ENDURE FOR NO FAULT OF THEIR
OWN. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO
REFLECT ON THIS TRAGEDY THAT
THIS COMMUNITY EXPERIENCED
MEMBERS TODAY. ARMENIANS OF
ARTSAKH ARE SUFFERING UNDER THE
HAND OF AZERBAIJAN. WE CANNOT
LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF, WHICH
IS WHY I'M ASKING YOU TO SUPPORT

ARMENIAN PEOPLE. AND AS THE ONLY
GREEK MEMBER OF THIS BODY WHOSE
PEOPLE SUFFERED FROM 400 YEARS
OF TURKISH RULE. I DO SO WITH A
LOT OF PASSION IN MY HEART. WE
ARE HERE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ONE
MILLION PEOPLE GUILTY OF NOTHING
EXCEPT BELONGING TO THE ARMENIAN
NATION WHO WERE MASSACRED AND
EXTERMINATED. PAST FAILURES TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE ATROCITIES HAVE
ONLY COMPOUNDED THE GRIEF OF
REMAINING SURVIVORS AND THEIR
FAMILIES, AND I LOVE WHAT THE
PRIEST SAID HERE TODAY. AND THAT
IS THAT ONLY BY RECOGNIZING THIS
GENOCIDE. CAN WE TRULY ALLOW
THOSE THAT WERE MASSACRED TO
REST IN PEACE? THE PASSAGE OF HR
26 WILL LAY THE FOUNDATION. WE
NEED TO HELP ARMENIANS IN
CALIFORNIA BEGIN TO HEAL AND TO
GROW. I WILL END BY QUOTING
FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA,
WHO SAID PEOPLES AND NATIONS
GROW STRONGER AND BUILD A MORE
JUST AND TOLERANT FUTURE BY
ACKNOWLEDGING AND RECOGNIZING
RECKONING. WITH PAINFUL ELEMENTS
OF THE PAST. I WANT TO THANK THE

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE NATIVE
AMERICAN CAUCUS. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF HR 26. THERE ARE MANY
IN PEOPLE GENOCIDE IS NOT A TERM
TO BE USED LIGHTLY. SPECIFICALLY
REFERS TO THE STATE SANCTIONED
ATTEMPT TO EXTERMINATE A GROUP
OF PEOPLE AND CAUSING SERIOUS
BODILY OR MENTAL HARM TO THE
MEMBERS OF THAT GROUP. AND
SEPARATION OF FAMILIES AND
PREVENTING BIRTHS. WE STAND
UNITED WITH OUR ROMANIAN

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S A VERB.
RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK ON THIS
MEASURE. GOOD MORNING. I RISE IN

THANK THE AUTHOR FROM GLENDALE.
I'M PROUD TO BE A CO AUTHOR OF
THIS BILL. UM AND I'M PROUD TO
REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY OF
LITTLE ARMENIA, WHICH IS PART OF
THE 51ST ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. UM
YOU KNOW TODAY IS ABOUT
REMEMBERING THE BRUTAL MURDER OF
1.5 MILLION ARMENIANS AND
EDUCATION. ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED
IN THE PAST IS THE GREATEST
ANTIDOTE TO PREVENTING BRUTALITY
AND GENOCIDE IN THE FUTURE. SO
ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF
THE 51ST DISTRICT, I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR AND FOR HER
LEADERSHIP ON THIS FOR HER
COMPASSION FOR THE STEPS SHE HAS

THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AND THE
CONDITIONS THAT PEOPLE IN
ARTSAKH ARE FACING NOW. AND WANT

AYE. VOTE ON HR. 26. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR SUBURB. AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JIM PATTERSON
RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK ON THE
MEASURE. THANK YOU. MR SPEAKER
MEMBERS RISE, ALSO IN STRONG
SUPPORT. OF HR 26. TODAY. ON
THIS FLOOR. WE ARE ALL
ARMENIANS. WE ARE REMEMBERING
THEM, NOT JUST AS THOSE WHO CAME
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE ARE
REMEMBERING THEM AS OUR FRIENDS
. OUR LOVED ONES OUR NEIGHBORS,
PEOPLE WE HAVE GROWN TO
APPRECIATE. OVER THE
GENERATIONS. PRESIDENT
CALIFORNIA HAS A LARGE ARMENIAN
POPULATION. AND BEING MAYOR OF
FRESNO FOR EIGHT YEARS. I HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT WITH SO
MANY OF MY ARMENIAN FRIENDS. AND
HEAR THE STORIES OF WHAT
HAPPENED TO THEIR FAMILIES. AND
THEIR GRANDPARENTS. THEIR
PARENTS. AND THEY CAME WITH THE
DIASPORA. TWO PLACES ACROSS OUR
COUNTRY. BUT THEY FOUND
THEMSELVES AS WELL. COMING TO
FRESNO, CALIFORNIA. AT FIRST,
THEY WERE NOT WELCOME. IN FACT,
THERE ARE PROPERTY DEEDS TODAY
THAT'S STILL S¼ YOU CAN SELL
YOUR PROPERTY TO ANYBODY. BUT
THEY LIST A BUNCH OF FOLKS AND
ARMENIANS ARE LISTED. BUT
RESILIENCY AND FAITH AND FAMILY
AND HARD WORK AND PERSISTENCE.
CAN PAY OFF. AND IT'S CERTAINLY
DID FOR MY ARMENIAN FRIENDS. THE
LITTLE KNOWN HISTORY OF FRESNO.
IS THAT MUCH OF THE CITY OF
FRESNO TODAY? IS BUILT UPON
PROPERTY. OWNED BY ARMENIANS. IF
YOU SEARCH THE. TOP DOGS OF
FRESNO STATE UNIVERSITY. YOU'RE
FINE. ARMENIAN NAMES REPLETE.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS IN GETTING
TO KNOW ARMENIANS. IS TO
UNDERSTAND THEIR RESILIENCE AND
HOW THEY DID NOT TAKE BEING A
VICTIM. TO MAKE THEM ACT LIKE
VICTIMS. THEY STOOD TALL. THEY
STOOD TOGETHER, THEIR FAITH MADE
THEM RESILIENT AND STRONG AS
WELL. AND HERE THEY ARE TODAY.
SIGNIFICANT LEADERS IN FRESNO. I
JUST SAY YOU CAN'T GET ELECTED
TO ANYTHING IN FRESNO,
CALIFORNIA IF YOU DON'T LOVE
APPRECIATE AND GET THE SUPPORT
OF ARMENIANS AND THAT IS SO EASY
TO DO. BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN
THE AMERICAN DREAM. THEY BELIEVE
IN FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY. THEY
BELIEVE IN FAITH AND FAMILY. AND
THEY SHARE THAT WITH OTHERS.
WHEN VIETNAM FELL. AND WHEN LAOS
FELL. CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
RECEIVED A LARGE INFLUX. OF
MANGA. WHO DO YOU THINK WE'RE

SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO FORGET
THIS. BUT I ALSO WANTED TO RISE
IN APPRECIATION. OF WHAT THE
ARMENIAN DIASPORA IN ITS
BEGINNING WAS A HEARTBREAK. AND
IT IS NOW TURNED INTO SOMETHING
THAT IS HEARTWARMING. THAT'S THE
GOOD NEWS OF ALL OF THIS. BUT WE
WILL NOT FORGET. WE WILL NOT
FORGIVE. AND AS WE ASK OURSELVES
HOW THEN? SHOULD WE ALL LIVE? WE
NEED TO BE THE WELCOMING HAND
THAT GRASPS ARE MEAN IAN
FRIENDS. WHEN NEW PEOPLE COME IN
OUR MIDST. WELCOME THEM, NOT

MASS MURDER AND FORCED MIGRATION
OF THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE BETWEEN
1915 AND 1917 AS A GENOCIDE.
THANKFULLY ALL 50 STATES, THE
UNITED STATES CONGRESS AND AS OF
2021, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES HAVE ALL
OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED THE
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. IT IS ONLY
RIGHT TO DO SO. THE STORIES OF
THE PERSECUTION RAPE KILLINGS
PERPETRATED AGAINST THE ARMENIAN
PEOPLE OR HEROIN AND
HEARTBREAKING UPWARDS OF 1.5
MILLION ARMENIANS WERE MURDERED
DURING THE GENOCIDE, AND MANY
SURVIVORS WERE NONETHELESS
SUBJECTED TO SYSTEMIC
DEPORTATION PLACEMENTS IN
CONCENTRATION CAMPS. THE
GENOCIDE WAS NOT ONLY AN ATTEMPT
TO DESTROY THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE.
BUT THE PURSUIT OF THE
DESTRUCTION OF ARMENIAN IDENTITY
IN ARMENIAN CULTURE. I KNOW THAT
MANY OF US IN THIS BODY ARE
PROUD THAT THE UNITED STATES IS
HOME TO THE THIRD LARGEST
POPULATION OF THE ARMENIAN
DISASTER DIASPORA. THE
PERSISTENCE OF THE ARMENIAN
PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
TODAY IN THE 21ST CENTURY IS
TRULY A TESTAMENT OF THEIR
RESILIENCE. WE'RE PROUD TO STAND

BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE
CITY OF GLENDALE. THAT I SHARE
WITH MY COLLEAGUE AND THE AUTHOR
OF THIS RUSSIAN RESOLUTION AND
IS HOME TO A THRIVING AND
ARMENIAN AMERICAN DIASPORA.
BETWEEN 1915 AND 1923 1.5
MILLION ARMENIANS WERE SUBJECT
TO A SYSTEMATIC AND PREMEDITATED
GENOCIDE BY THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
AND ITS SUCCESSOR STATE, THE
REPUBLIC OF TURKEY, WHO
ATTEMPTED TO ERASE THE PRESENCE
OF THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE FROM
THEIR HISTORIC HOMELANDS. THE
TURKISH GOVERNMENT PRESENTLY
MAINTAINS AN OFFICIAL POLICY. OF
DENIAL IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE
. WE CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO
ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY
IS INCLUSIVE OF ARMENIAN
AMERICAN HISTORY HOUSE
RESOLUTION 26 RECOGNIZES THE
ATTEMPTS TO ERASE THE PRESENCE
OF THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE THE LOSS
OF LIVES AND COMMENCE THE WORK
DONE BY EDUCATORS AND ADVOCATES
WHO TEACH US ALL ABOUT THE
EXPERIENCES. OF THE ARMENIAN
PEOPLE. I LIKE TO OFFER. TO
THOSE WATCHING REMARKS THAT I
MADE LAST YEAR IN PERSON AT A
COMMEMORATIVE EVENT IN GLENDALE.
MY REMARKS DERIVED FROM A LETTER
FROM JOHN ADAMS TO HIS WIFE,
ABIGAIL, ON MAY 12 17 80. AND
THIS LETTER HE WAS RAISING
AWARENESS TO OUR NATION'S
INDEPENDENCE. AND HE WROTE MY
DEAREST BELOVED THE GARDENS OF
VERSAILLES ARE BEAUTIFUL. AND I
WISH THAT I HAD THE TIME TO
WRITE THEM AND EXPLAIN THEM ALL
TO YOU. BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE I
MUST GET BACK TO WORK AND I MUST
GO STUDY POLITICS AND WAR SO
THAT OUR SONS HAVE THE RIGHT TO
STUDY MATHEMATICS AND PHILOSOPHY
SO THAT THEIR CHILDREN HAVE THE
LIBERTY. TO STUDY ART AND MUSIC.
THAT IS THE PROMISE OF THIS
NATION. THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU
COME FROM WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE,
WHAT LANGUAGE YOU SPEAK. THIS
NATION BELONGS TO ALL OF US. NOT
JUST A FEW, AND IT CLEARLY
BELONGS TO THE AMERICAN ARMENIAN
COMMUNITY WHO IS JUST TRYING TO
ENSURE THAT THE REST OF US KNOW
WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH AND
WHAT BRINGS THEM TO THESE
SHORES? THE ARMENIAN AMERICAN
POPULATION AND COMMUNITY HAS
CREATED AND BEEN A PART OF SO
MUCH SUCCESS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
SEE THEM THAT WE RECOGNIZE THEM
AND THEY WE INCLUDE THE ARMENIAN
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE AS PART OF
THE FABRIC OF THIS NATION. AND
WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR I VOTE ON HR 26.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CARILLO

WISHING TO SPEAK ON THE MEASURE.
ASSEMBLYWOMAN FRIEDMAN, YOU MAY
CLOSE MR SPEAKER. I WOULD LIKE
VERY MUCH TO THANK ALL OF THE
MEMBERS WHO SPOKE TODAY AND ALL
OF THE MEMBERS WHO ARE STANDING

COMMUNITY AND WITH THE COMMUNITY

CHAIR OF THE CALIFORNIA LATINO
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS, SUPPORTING
HOUSE RESOLUTION 14 ON BEHALF OF
THE WOMEN'S CARCASS FOR OUR
ANNUAL COMMEMORATION OF DENIM
DAY WE CELEBRATE DENIM DAY ON
THIS LAST WEDNESDAY OF APRIL,
WHICH IS ALSO SEXUAL ASSAULT
AWARENESS MONTH. WE HONOR THIS
MONTH BY ALSO WEARING TEAL EVERY
YEAR FOR DECADES. WE HAVE
DRESSED IN JEANS TO SYMBOLIZE,
UH, SYMBOLICALLY PROTEST AGAINST
THE ITALIAN SUPREME COURT CASE
THAT HELD THAT IS SURVIVORS.
MANNER OF DRESS COULD BE USED AS
EVIDENCE OF CONSENT IN A SEXUAL
ASSAULT CASE. WE POST ON SOCIAL
MEDIA PROCLAIMING THAT A
SURVIVOR'S MANNER OF DRESS SINCE
YOU NEVER SHOULD NEVER BE USED
AGAINST THEM WHEN SEEKING
JUSTICE, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL
2021 THAT THIS BODY PASSED MY
BILL ASSEMBLY BILL 939 FINALLY
MANIFESTING THE PROMISE OF DENIM
DAY BY PROHIBITING THE CLOTHING
A SURVIVOR WAS WEARING FROM
BEING USED AS EVIDENCE OF
CONSENT. IN A CRIMINAL SEXUAL
ASSAULT CASE IN CALIFORNIA. TO
EVER I HAVE CONSIDERED WHETHER
SURVIVORS MANNER OF DRESS AS
EVIDENCE OF CONSENT, WRONGLY
SCRUTINIZES THE ACTIONS OF THE
SURVIVOR AND SET OF PLACING THE
SCRUTINY WHERE IT TRULY BELONGS
ON THE ACTIONS OF THE
PERPETRATOR. SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
VIOLENCE IS THE MOST UNDER
REPORTED AND UNDER PROSECUTED
TYPE OF CRIME. WE MUST MAKE SURE
THAT SURVIVORS ARE NOT SUBJECTED
TO A JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT RE
VICTIMIZES AND RE TRAUMATIZES
THEM AND ENSURES THAT OUR
JUSTICE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO
PROTECT THEM. WHEN THEY SEEK
JUSTICE. FOR EVERY 1000
SURVIVORS IN THE UNITED STATES.
230 REPORT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT
PERPETRATED AGAINST THEM. ARE
THESE 230 SURVIVORS ONLY 80 HAVE
CASES THAT ARE TRIED. AND LESS
THAN. FIVE LESS THAN FIVE WILL
EVER SEE THEIR PERSECUTORS
SERVED TIME. WHEN WE TRIVIALIZE
SEXUAL ASSAULT, WE UPHOLD
STEREOTYPICAL BELIEFS THAT
SURVIVORS INVITE THESE CRIMES
PERPETRATED AGAINST THEM.
OUTFITS AND NEVER PROVIDE
CONSENT EVER FOR SEVERAL YEARS,
I HAVE DEDICATED MYSELF TO
ENSURE THAT WE HAVE TRAUMA IN
FOREIGN POLICIES FOR SEXUAL
ASSAULT SURVIVORS. MY COMMITMENT
CONTINUES TO BE UNWAVERING.
SURVIVORS NEED TRAUMA, INFORMED
POLICIES THAT DO NOT BLAME THEM
IN THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE. WE
MUST ALWAYS CONSIDER THE POWER
IMBALANCE THAT EXISTS BETWEEN A
SURVIVOR AND A PERPETRATOR. WE
MUST CONTINUE TO ELIMINATE
HARMFUL POLICIES. THAT ENABLED
VIOLENCE, SILENCE SURVIVORS AND
REDUCE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR
SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
MAY WE RISE TODAY AND EVERY DAY
TO ENSURE THAT WE EDUCATE PEOPLE
ON THE MISCONCEPTIONS THAT
SURROUND SEXUAL ASSAULT. BECAUSE
THERE IS NEVER AN EXCUSE NOR AN
INVITATION FOR RAPE. I WOULD
LIKE THE FIRST ROLE BE OPEN FOR
CO AUTHORS AND FOR THESE
REASONS, RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR
AN I VOTE ON HR 14. THANK YOU,
MR MONTI'S AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN

YOUR I VOTE FOR HR 14, WHICH
RECOGNIZES APRIL 26 AS DENIM DAY

THERE'S NEVER AN EXCUSE TO
COMMIT RAPE OR OTHER ACTS OF
VIOLENCE BASED ON GENDER. THESE
DEPLORABLE CRIMES ARE COMMITTED
AGAINST ALL GENDERS, ALL AGES
AND ALL CULTURAL AND ETHNIC
GROUPS. WE MUST END THE MYTHS,
STEREOTYPES AND PREJUDICE THAT
THESE CRIMES ARE INVITED BY
DRESS OR BEHAVIOR. THESE WE WILL
COMMEMORATE THE MISSING AND
MURDERED VICTIMS DURING THE
FIRST WEEK OF MAY. THE WEEKS
COMMEMORATION WILL BE
HIGHLIGHTED BY A CANDLELIGHT
VIGIL. UH, DURING THAT WEEK, THE
CAPITOL DOME WILL ALSO BE LIT

MEMBERS I RISE TODAY TO PRESENT
A B 9 50 FOR A BILL THAT WILL
ENSURE THAT A PARENT WHO IS
DILIGENTLY FOLLOWING ALL ASPECTS
OF THEIR CASE PLAN WILL NOT BE
DENIED REUNIFICATION SERVICES
SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE
TO PAY FOR REQUIREMENT THE COURT
HAS ORDERED TODAY, WHEN A CHILD
IS REMOVED FROM A PARENT'S CARE.
THE COURT MAY ORDER THE PARENTS
COMPLETED REQUIRE A VARIETY OF
REQUIREMENTS TO ASSIST AND
REHABILITATION. BEFORE THEY RE
UNIFIED WITH THE CHILD. HOWEVER
IN SOME PLACES PARENTS HAVE TO
BEAR THE COST OF THESE COURT
MANDATE MANDATED REQUIREMENTS,
WHICH CAN RUN FOR 52 WEEKS OR
MORE AND COST WELL BEYOND THE
MEANS OF IMPACTED PARENTS. IN
MANY CASES, PARENTS EVEN
COMPLETE THESE REQUIREMENTS. BUT
TONIGHT A CERTIFICATE OF
COMPLETION BECAUSE THEY HAVE
OUTSTANDING FEES. WHEN A PARENT
IS REFUSED REUNIFICATION
SERVICES OR LOSES THEIR PARENTAL
RIGHTS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT AFFORD TO PROVIDE PROOF
OF PAYMENT. WE'RE PUNISHING
POVERTY AND DELAYING FAMILY
REUNIFICATION. 89 54 WILL

THANK YOU MEMBERS. TODAY I RISE
TO ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY FOR
DEVOTED FATHER, GRANDFATHER AND
FORMER SACRAMENTO KINGS VICE
PRESIDENT GREG VAN DUSEN. SOME
OF YOU MAY KNOW THE KINGS HAVE
BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY, AND
MOST OF YOU KNOW, THEY ARE IN A
HECK OF A SERIES AGAINST THE
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. FOR THOSE
OF US WHO LIVE IN THE AREA WHERE
FILLED WITH SERIOUS PRIDE AT
THIS MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT, AND
IT'S ALL DUE IN NO SMALL PART TO
GREG VAN DUSEN. PRIOR TO 1985.
THE KINGS WERE THE KANSAS CITY
KINGS. THAT IS UNTIL GREG
DETERMINED THEY SHOULD BE HERE
IN SACRAMENTO, HE BECAME THE
INSTRUMENTAL FORCE WHO
FACILITATED AND PLANNED. THE
KING'S MOVE, BROKERED THE DEAL
TO BRING THEM TO SACRAMENTO AND
LED THE EFFORT TO BUILD THE THEN
NEW ARCO ARENA. WITHOUT GREG'S
WILLFUL DETERMINATION, IT'S
DOUBTFUL THERE WOULD BE A
SACRAMENTO KINGS THINK ABOUT
THAT FOR JUST A MOMENT. NO KINGS
, NO ARENA, NO EXCITEMENT
EMANATING THROUGH THE REGION
