DECLARES THAT THE LEGISLATURE
SUPPORT A REDUCTION TO THE
THRESHOLD FOR TAX EXEMPT BOND
FINANCING AND URGED THE PASSAGE
OF THE FEDERAL AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CREDIT IMPROVEMENT ACT
OF 2023. THE TAX REFORM OF 1986
ESTABLISHED THE LOW INCOME
HOUSING TAX CREDIT, THIS TAX
CREDIT HAS BECOME AN EXTREMELY
EFFECTIVE TOOL TO HELP IN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FINANCING. A
MAJORITY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IS DEPENDENT ON LOW INCOME
HOUSING TAX CREDITS, COUPLED
WITH TAX EXEMPT PRIVATE ACTIVITY
, BAND FINANCING, AND FOR MORE
THAN 30 YEARS, THE HOUSING TAX
CREDIT HAS BEEN A MODEL PUBLIC
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
FINANCING NEARLY 3.5 MILLION
APARTMENTS SINCE 1986 AND
PROVIDING APPROXIMATELY 8
MILLION DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES.
AND INDIVIDUALS WITH HOMES THAT
THEY CAN AFFORD. HOWEVER THE L I
H T C REQUIREMENTS MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
TAX CREDITS TO BE USED BECAUSE
OF THE EXISTING HIGH FINANCING
THRESHOLD LOWERING BOND
FINANCING THRESHOLD FROM 50%
COULD PRODUCE OR PRESERVE OVER A
MILLION ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE
RENTAL HOMES OVER THE NEXT 10
YEARS, AND IT FREES UP 93

BOTH A TIME TO REFLECT AND
REJOICE AND ALL OF THE WORK THAT
TOOK PLACE TO REACH THIS POINT.
AS WELL AS A REMINDER THAT TRUE
EQUALITY IS NOT ACCOMPLISHED
OVERNIGHT. WHILE THERE MAY HAVE
BEEN GREAT STRIDES TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS THE
HISTORY AND APPLY TO BLACK
AMERICANS, WE AS A SOCIETAL
COLLECTIVE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY
TO GO JUNE 19TH IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE ALL
COMMUNITIES SO THAT WE MAY NOT
REPEAT THE INJUSTICES AND ABUSES
COMMITTED IN THE PAST,
ESPECIALLY AT A TIME WHEN OTHER
STATES ARE PASSING POLICIES THAT
SYSTEMATICALLY ERASED OUR
HISTORY AND LAWS THAT ARE
REMINISCENT OF THE JIM CROW.
SOUTH MEMBERS TODAY MARKS 158
YEARS OF FREEDOM CELEBRATIONS
BUT ALSO 100 AND 58 YEARS OF
STRUGGLE, DETERMINATION AND
PERSEVERANCE, PERSEVERANCE
DESPITE THE ODDS, LET US NEVER
FORGET OR IGNORE THE HOLIDAY OF

AMERICANS SAID SCALE OF FREEDOM
FOR 3/5 TO A WHOLE. THANK YOU,
MR JONES, SAWYER AND ASSEMBLYMAN
BONTA. YOU RECOGNIZE THAT YOUR

RISE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LATINO LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS AND THE LEGISLATIVE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS IN SUPPORT OF
ASSEMBLY. CURRENT RESOLUTION
CURRENT CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 94
TO HONOR AND CELEBRATE
JUNETEENTH. JUNETEENTH MARKS THE
DATE THAT THE LAST PEOPLE WHO
WERE ENSLAVED IN THE U. S
LEARNED THEY WERE FREE IN 18 65.
THIS YEAR MARKS THE 158TH
ANNIVERSARY OF ITS RECOGNITION
AND SECOND ANNIVERSARY AS A
FEDERAL HOLIDAY. THIS IS NOT
SIMPLY A SYMBOLIC GESTURE, BUT
AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE LEGACY
OF ENSLAVEMENT AND REMEMBRANCE
THAT FREEDOM AND JUSTICE HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN DELAYED FOR THE
BLACK COMMUNITIES. JUNETEENTH
COMMEMORATES THE EMANCIPATION OF
ENSLAVED PEOPLE. IT IS ALSO A
TIME FOR BLACK LATINOS IN THE US
TO CELEBRATE THE EMANCIPATION OF
ALL PEOPLE IN THE AMERICAS.
JUNETEENTH IS A TRANSNATIONAL
COMMEMORATION OF BLACK AMERICAN
LIBERATION, DEMONSTRATING HOW
BEAUTIFUL AND BROAD THE AFRICAN
DIASPORA IS. IN FACT, CALIFORNIA
HAS A SECOND LARGEST NUMBER OF
BLACK LATINOS. 237,006. MILLION
PEOPLE IDENTIFYING AS BLACK
LATINOS IN THE US BLACK LATINOS
HAVE ENDURED MANY OF THE SAME
INJUSTICES THAT AFRICAN
AMERICANS HAVE ENDURED IN THIS
COUNTRY THROUGH VIOLENT
INSTITUTIONS. WE CAN ALSO NEVER
FORGET THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF
BLACK WOMEN AS A WHOLE. AND THAT
THEY'VE LED IN THE STRUGGLE FOR
LIBERATION. WE CANNOT IGNORE THE
FACT. THAT RACISM STILL EXISTS
AND HAS BEEN INTERTWINED IN OUR
HISTORY WITH THE FIGHT AGAINST
SEXISM. WOMEN OUR MOTHERS OUR
GRANDMOTHERS CARRY WITH THEM
THIS HISTORY OF RACISM AND
SEXISM AND REMIND US OF HOW
PRECIOUS AND HARD FOUGHT OUR
FREEDOMS OUR FREEDOMS LIKE THE
RIGHT TO VOTE, THE RIGHT TO
MARRY, WHO WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT
TO ATTEND THE SCHOOLS OF OUR
CHOICE AND THE RIGHT FOR ME A
BLACK LATINA EVEN TO HOLD THIS
OFFICE. WE ARE STILL FIGHTING
FOR THE BASIC RIGHTS FOR WOMEN
LIKE BLACK WOMEN TO HAVE PAY
EQUITY BLACK WOMEN WERE STILL
EARNING 58% OF WHAT NON HISPANIC
WHITE MEN HAVE EARNED SINCE
2020. JUNETEENTH PROMPTS US ALL
TO SELF REFLECT ON HOW FAR WE
HAVE COME THAT CONTINUED WORK
NEEDED TO PUSH FOR CULTURAL
AWARENESS AND THE NEED TO
ERADICATE SYSTEMS OF RACISM AND
INEQUITY IN OUR SOCIETY MEMBERS.
I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
REFLECT ON THIS AS WE CELEBRATE
JUNETEENTH TODAY ON THE FLOOR,
OTHERS ARE DEALING WITH
TRAGEDIES THAT OCCURRED DURING
OUR JUNETEENTH CELEBRATIONS OVER
THIS WEEKEND VIOLENCE YET AGAIN
INTERRUPTED OUR CELEBRATIONS.
INCLUDING OUR FAMILIES IN SAN
DIEGO, WILLOWBROOK, ILLINOIS.
AND CONTINUES TO BE YET ANOTHER
FIGHT FOR LIBERATION THAT WE
MUST FIGHT. AGAINST EVEN STILL
TODAY. WE MUST CONTINUE THIS
FIGHT IN OUR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE
OUR LIBERATION IS PARAMOUNT. WE
MUST CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR EQUAL
JUSTICE FOR LIBERATION OF ALL
PEOPLE AND FOR THE COMMEMORATION
AND RECOGNITION OF ALL MEMBERS,
I ASK YOU TO RISE AND SUPPORT.
OF A CR 94. THANK YOU, MISS
BENTO AND A SUMMARY COLORADO.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF THE
ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF A CR 94. WHICH
RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
JUNE T HISTORIC ROLE OF AFRICAN
AMERICANS IN THE UNITED STATES,
THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND A API
COMMUNITIES HAVE LONG WORKED
TOGETHER TO COMBAT HATE AND
RACISM. FREDERICK DOUGLASS, DR
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR REVEREND
JESSE JACKSON, BUT A FEW
EXAMPLES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN
LEADERS WHO HAVE LENT THEIR
VOICE TO THE AAPI COMMUNITY
COORDINATED A COORDINATED ACTION
OF API AND AFRICAN AMERICANS
LEAD THE REPEAL OF THE EMERGENCY
DETENTION ACT IN 1950 THAT
UNFAIRLY TARGETED JAPANESE
AMERICANS FOLLOWING WORLD WAR
TWO. THE FIRST COLLEGE OF ETHNIC
STUDIES IN THE NATION WAS
FOUNDED HERE IN CALIFORNIA AS A
DIRECT RESULT OF STRIKES BY THE
THIRD WORLD LIBERATION FRONT
HISTORIC COALITION BETWEEN
AFRICAN AMERICAN ÁP I AND LATINO
STUDENTS. INSTANCES LIKE THESE
SHOW THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WHEN
WE MOVED TOGETHER. AND
JUNETEENTH REMINDS US THAT EVEN
WHEN WE ARE GIVEN FREEDOM THAT
FREEDOM IS MEANINGLESS IF WE DO
NOT KNOW THAT WE ARE FREE. AND
THAT WE MUST CALL OUT THE
OPPRESSORS. WHO KEPT FREE BLACK
FAMILIES FROM KNOWING OF THEIR
FREEDOM. THIS RESOLUTION REMINDS
US TO CELEBRATE THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN
CHAMPIONING THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL
RIGHTS FOR ALL OF US THAT HAS
PAVED THE WAY HAS PAVED THE PATH
FOR ALL MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
. HOWEVER IF WE ONLY JOIN IN
CELEBRATION WITH THE BLACK
COMMUNITY, BUT ARE ABSENT WHEN
THEY REQUIRE OUR ALLY, SHIP AND
SOLIDARITY THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING
SHORT OF OUR OBLIGATION. TO OUR
AFRICAN AMERICAN BROTHERS AND
SISTERS OPENLY OFTEN REFERRED TO
AS THE GRANDMOTHER OF JUNE, 13TH
SAID THAT SHE HOPES THAT GIUNTI
WILL NOT JUST BE ABOUT FESTIVALS
BUT THAT IT WILL BE ABOUT
UPLIFTING EACH OTHER. SO ON A
PERSONAL NOTE, I SAY YES. WE
SHOULD ATTEND FESTIVALS, POST ON
SOCIAL MEDIA AND PASS IMPORTANT
RESOLUTIONS LIKE A CR 94. BUT OF
ALL THOSE, BUT ALL OF THOSE
ACTIONS RING HOLLOW IF WE DON'T
STAND WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY
ON REFORMING OUR CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM IF WE DON'T STAND
WITH OUR BLACK FAMILIES TO
UPLIFT THEIR ECONOMIC AND
ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES IF WE
DON'T STAND WITH BLACK FAMILIES
WHEN THEY DEMAND REPARATIONS FOR
THE PAIN AND SUFFERING INFLICTED
, WHICH IMPACTS THEM TO THIS
DAY. THANK YOU. AND ON BEHALF OF
THE API LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT ON A CR 94. THANK YOU,
MR CHOLERA. ANDERSON MEMBERS OF
HER YOU RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS TODAY I RISE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE LGBT Q CAUCUS IN
SUPPORT OF A CR 94, WHICH
RECOGNIZES AND COMMEMORATES JUNE
19TH AS JUNETEENTH IN CALIFORNIA
AND HISTORIC DATE ON WHICH THE
LAST ENSLAVED BLACK AMERICANS
WERE FREED. ENSLAVED BLACK
AMERICANS IN TEXAS WERE NOT MADE
WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THEIR
FREEDOM UNTIL JUNE. 19TH 18 65 2
YEARS AFTER THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATIONS READING. IN 20,
2300 AND 50/8 ANNIVERSARY OF
JUNETEENTH. WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CRITICALLY
EXAMINE OUR COUNTRY'S SHAMEFUL
HISTORY OF SLAVERY AND ENGAGE IN
MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION ON HOW
THIS HISTORY CONTINUES TO IMPACT
US TODAY. WITHOUT THE NATIONAL
AND STATEWIDE RECOGNITION OF
JUNETEENTH. WE CANNOT PROUDLY
CLAIMED THE VALUES OF LIBERTY
AND FREEDOM. NOT WHEN THE SAME
VALUES WERE DELAYED AND DENIED
TO ENSLAVED BLACK AMERICANS 158
YEARS AGO, AND NOT WHEN LIBERTY
AND FREEDOM ARE CONTINUOUSLY
DENIED TO BLACK AMERICANS TODAY
AS A MEMBER OF THE LGBTQ CAUCUS
, I MUST ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW L
G B T Q. PLUS BLACK AMERICANS
ARE THE CORNERSTONES OF OUR
COMMUNITY. THEY WERE THE DRIVING
FORCE BEHIND THE FIRST PRIDES
THEY ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR
COMMUNITIES CULTURE AND THEY ARE
COURAGEOUS ADVOCATES AND
OUTSPOKEN ACTIVISTS. HOWEVER L G
B T Q. PLUS BLACK AMERICANS ARE
ALSO THE MOST VULNERABLE AND
UNPROTECTED MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY, AS MANY OF US KNOW.
BLACK TRENDS. WOMEN FACE HIGH
RATES OF FATAL VIOLENCE BLACK
LGBT Q. PLUS YOUTH ARE AT THE
HIGHER RATES OF HOMELESSNESS,
WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN EXACERBATED
BY THE COVID PANDEMIC. L G B T L
G B T Q PLUS PEOPLE SCORE LOW ON
ALMOST EVERY MEASURE OF
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELL BEING
HIGH RATES OF HOMELESSNESS,
POVERTY, SCHOOL DROPOUT, SUICIDE
IDEATION, SUBSTANCE USE AND
MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AND
ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM. AND WE ALSO KNOW
THAT MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY
WHO FACE MULTIPLE BASES OF
DISCRIMINATION AND HATE
IMMIGRANTS, WOMEN PEOPLE LIVING
WITH HIV AND MEMBERS OF
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR ARE AT THE
BOTTOM OF THESE MEASURES IS IT
IS WITH THIS IN MIND THAT THE L
G B T Q CAUCUS MEMBERS AND I AIM
TO AMPLIFY THE VOICES AND
ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF BLACK LGBT
Q. PLUS AMERICANS. THE
RECOGNITION OF JUNETEENTH IS A
STEP TOWARDS ENSURING THAT BLACK
AMERICAN HISTORY IS REMEMBERED
AS AMERICAN HISTORY. THANK YOU
AND I URGE YOUR I VOTE ON A CR
94. THANK YOU, MR SEAVER.
SUMMARY GIBSON YOU RECOGNIZED ON
THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
LOS ANGELES FOR BRINGING THIS A
CR 94 BEFORE US IS INTRODUCED BY
THE LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS OR
RECOGNIZED JUNE 19TH AS
JUNETEENTH. I WANT TO START OFF
BY QUOTING, UM, THE DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE THAT WAS SIGNED
INTO LAW IN 17 76. WE HOLD THESE
TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT THAT
ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. LET
ME STOP. THERE. UM LIFE, LIBERTY
AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. I
STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY BECAUSE
THESE WORDS DO NOT HOLD TRUE
AROUND UNTIL JUNE. 19TH 18 65
PEOPLE OFTEN MISUNDERSTAND WHEN
SLAVERY UM IN THE UNITED STATES
ACTUALLY ENDED. PRESIDENT
LINCOLN ISSUED THE EXECUTIVE
ORDER KNOWN AS THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION. ON SEPTEMBER THE
22ND 18 62, WHICH DECLARES THAT
ENSLAVED PEOPLE WOULD BE FREE AS
OF JANUARY. THE 1ST 18 63. THE
PROCLAMATION DID NOT TRULY GO
INTO EFFECT UNTIL COURSE, JUNE
19TH 18 65 WHEN THE UNION TROOPS
ARRIVING TO GALVESTON'S I MAY BE
THE ONLY PERSON THIS FLOOR WHOSE
FAMILY IS STILL IN GALVESTON'S
TEXAS. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER, UH
, WE CALL HER MAMA BIRD WHO
ACTUALLY WAS A CHILD, UM, IN
SLAVERY, BORN INTO SLAVERY IN
GALVESTON'S TEXAS, AND THEN NOT
TO MENTION MY AUNTS AND MY
UNCLES. AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT
GALVESTON'S GALVESTON'S UM,
STILL HOLDS TRUE TO WHERE MY
FAMILY WAS ORIGINATED. WHEN WE
FOLLOW THE 13TH AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION, ABOLISH, ABOLISH
SLAVERY, WHICH RATIFIED WAS
RATIFIED. DECEMBER THE 6TH 18 65
. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
REMEMBER HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF
THIS HOLIDAY. IT'S NOT ABOUT
PARTIES. IS NOT ABOUT GETTING A
DAY OFF. IT'S NOT ABOUT JUST,
YOU KNOW, CRUISING AND HAVING A
GOOD TIME ON THIS DAY OFF, BUT
IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE
NEVER GO BACK TO THE DARK TIMES
THAT AMERICAN SLAVE BLACK PEOPLE
IN THIS COUNTRY AND LET ME ALSO
SAY THIS. IT'S NOT A PHYSICAL
ENSLAVEMENT. LET'S NOT GET IT
TWISTED. IT'S NOT ENOUGH
PHYSICAL ENSLAVEMENT, BUT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT ENSLAVEMENT IN
TERMS OF NOT HAVING RESOURCES IN
COMMUNITIES HAVING HEALTH
DISPARITIES, GUN VIOLENCE, GANG
VIOLENCE, IT'S ABOUT NOT EVEN
BEING ABLE TO GET JOBS.
RESOURCES THAT HELP UPLIFT THE
PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN ENSLAVED IN
THIS COUNTRY. AND SO WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT REMOVING THE LIMITS,
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT REMOVING
THE LIMITS ALL ACROSS THE BOARD
SO THAT THIS THAT THE AFRICAN
AMERICANS CAN LIVE THE TRUE
MEANING OF BEING HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
MOVE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND
COME TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. I WAS
BORN AND RAISED RIGHT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA IN THESE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, BUT IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE NOT JUST LOOK
AT THIS DAY IS JUST AN ORDINARY
DAY. BUT IT HAS PURPOSE. IT HAS
SIGNIFICANCE, AND I RAISED MY
VOICE IN THIS SPACE AND THINK
THE LEGISLATE LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS FOR ONE, MAKING SURE THAT
WHEN WE DO POLICIES THAT
JUNETEENTH IS IN THE FOREFRONT
OF OUR MINDS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
RESOURCES THAT THIS IS IN THE
FOREFRONT OF OUR MINDS, MAKING
SURE THAT WE NEVER FORGET JUST
LIKE WE DO OUR BROTHERS WHO WHO
DURING THE GENOCIDE WHEN IT
COMES DOWN TO ARMENIAN BROTHERS
AND SISTERS, OUR JEWISH BROTHERS
AND SISTERS, MAKING SURE WE
NEVER FORGET, BUT ALSO MAKING
SURE WE NEVER HAD TO GO BACK. TO
A TIME THAT AMERICA WAS BAD TO
PEOPLE AND ENSLAVE A PEOPLE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK WHAT I VOTE ON
A CR 94. THANK YOU, MR GIBSON
AND SUMMER RAMOS. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. TODAY I
RISE ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
NATIVE AMERICAN LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS TO SUPPORT AND ASK FOR AN
I VOTE ON A CR 94, WHICH
RECOGNIZES JUNE 19TH AS
JUNETEENTH DAY. IT IS A DAY FOR
US TO CELEBRATE THE MANY
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND
CONTRIBUTIONS OF AFRICAN
AMERICANS IN OUR NATIONAL
HISTORY. IT IS ALSO A TIME TO
REFLECT ON THE POWER OF
RESILIENCY AND STRENGTH AS THEY
OVERCAME BEING TORN FROM THEIR
HOMELANDS AND THEN DENIED THE
RIGHTS CALLED OUT BY THE THOMAS
JEFFREY BY THOMAS JEFFERSON AND
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
AS JEFFERSON HIMSELF, A SLAVE
OWNER SAID. INDEED I TREMBLE
FROM MY COUNTRY WHEN I REFLECT
THAT GOD IS JUST THAT IS,
JUSTICE CANNOT SLEEP FOREVER.
THIS IS A DAY A DAY THAT WE COME
TOGETHER TODAY AS WE CELEBRATE
THE END OF SLAVERY IN THE UNITED
STATES IN A NEW FEDERAL HOLIDAY,
BUT IT'S ALSO EVERY DAY EVERY
DAY THAT RECONCILIATION HAS TO
HAPPEN, AND TRUTH HAS TO COME
OUT. TRUTH HAS TO COME OUT AND
THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENTS.
TRUTH HAS TO COME OUT IN THE
HISTORY OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
NATION. THE TRUTH AND THE
RESILIENCY OF PEOPLE NEEDS TO
COME OUT IN EVERYDAY WALKS THAT
FACES OUR PEOPLE TODAY. HEY.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT. NOT JUST
ONE DAY BUT EVERY DAY TO MAKE
SURE THAT PEOPLE PEOPLE STAND
HERE AS EQUAL AND TO MAKE SURE
THEIR VOICES ARE BEING HEARD NOT
JUST BACK IN TIME. BUT TODAY AND
IN THE FUTURE, I URGE OR I VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR OBAMA'S AND I SAID
MEMBER LOWENTHAL YOU RECOGNIZED
ON THE RESOLUTION. HMM. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. AND MEMBERS ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE JEWISH CAUCUS. I
RISE IN VERY STRONG SUPPORT OF A
CR 94. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK AND
ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE CAUCUS,
WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO THANK OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES FOR
BRINGING FORWARD THIS IMPORTANT
MEASURE TODAY WE RECOGNIZE AND
CELEBRATE THE LIBERATION OF
AFRICAN AMERICAN SLAVES AT THE
END OF THE CIVIL WAR, THE DAY
WHEN THE LAST SLAVES WERE FREED
IN AMERICA, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
WE REJOICE AND REFLECT ON THIS
HISTORICAL MILESTONE. AND
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS WAS ONLY THE
FIRST STEP TOWARDS EQUALITY AND
JUSTICE. THE SLAVES OF
GALVESTON'S TEXAS HAD TO WAIT
MORE THAN TWO YEARS AFTER
LINCOLN'S DECREE TO RECEIVE WORD
THAT THEY WERE FREED. WE CAN
ONLY IMAGINE WHAT MANY OF THE
SLAVES FELT ANXIOUSLY WAITING
FOR THE NEWS OF THEIR FREEDOM.
DESPITE THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION AND THE
RATIFICATION OF THE 13TH
AMENDMENT. THE STRUGGLE FOR
EQUALITY FOR FORMER SLAVES,
THEIR DESCENDANTS AND AFRICAN
AMERICANS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
HAS PROVEN LONG AND HARD. WHILE
WE CELEBRATE OUR HARD FOUGHT
VICTORIES, WE MUST RECOGNIZE THE
DISCRIMINATION THAT STILL EXISTS
IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AS WE
COMMEMORATE JUNETEENTH. WE MUST
BE COGNIZANT THAT THE CONTINUED
NEED TO COMBAT RACISM, HATE AND
INTOLERANCE. OUR LEGACY MUST BE
ONE THAT SEEKS EQUALITY FOR
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY
MISTREATED AND WHO CONTINUE TO
YEARN FOR JUSTICE. THE JEWISH
PEOPLE SAY LADOR BORRADOR, WHICH
ACTUALLY MEANS FROM GENERATION
TO GENERATION TO RECOGNIZE THE
ROLE WE PLAY IN SHAPING THE
FUTURE, JUST AS WEIRD SHAPED BY
THE PAST, AND SO WHILE WE
CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH AS A
PIVOTAL MOMENT IN HISTORY, WE
COMMIT TO CONTINUED WORK TO
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OUR
CHILDREN. AND OUR CHILDREN'S
CHILDREN IN THAT SPIRIT AND ON
BEHALF OF THE JEWISH CARCASS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE
ON A CR 94. THANK YOU, MR
LOWENTHAL AND A SEVEN WOMAN
WALDRON YOU RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. MHM THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION, 94. COMMEMORATING
JUNETEENTH. THIS RESOLUTION IN
CALIFORNIA LAW RECOGNIZES THE
GOVERNMENT REQUIRES THE GOVERNOR
TO PROCLAIM THIS DAY AS
JUNETEENTH NATIONAL FREEDOM DAY
A DAY OF OBSERVANCE TO URGE ALL
CALIFORNIANS TO HONOR AND
REFLECT ON THE SIGNIFICANT ROLE
THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE
PLAYED IN THE HISTORY OF THE
UNITED STATES. AND ALSO REFLECT
ON THE BARRIERS AND SUFFERING
THAT OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN
BRETHREN HAVE ENDURED. BUT AS MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID THE
RECOGNITION IN THE WORK MUST
CONTINUE TO ACHIEVE TRUE
EQUALITY. ALL PEOPLE IN OUR
NATION MUST LOOK FORWARD AND
WORK TOWARD A HOPEFUL, UNIFIED
FUTURE. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
MY VOTE. THANK YOU, MISS WALDRON
AND SEE NO OTHER MEMBERS WISHING
TO SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION, MR
JONES. SAWYER YOU MAY CLOSE.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. FOR ME.
THIS IS, UM EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL.
UM. I SUBMITTED A B 16 55
INTRODUCED IT. JANUARY 14TH 2022
ON MY BIRTHDAY. AS A DESCENDANT
OF A CIVIL RIGHTS LEGEND. IT IS.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE DO
NOT FORGET THE STRUGGLES OF
AFRICAN AMERICANS. IT NEVER
ENDED IN 17 70 70 76 DIDN'T END
IN 18 63 OR 18 65. WE REMEMBER
SO WE DO NOT REPEAT. NOT TO HATE
AMERICA. BUT TO ENSURE WE NEVER
AGAIN MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.
AGAIN. JUNETEENTH REMINDS US
THAT SLAVERY TAKES MANY FORMS.
LIKE OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM. TWO YEARS OR TWO
CENTURIES. INJUSTICE IS
INJUSTICE AND SLAVERY IS
SLAVERY. WHETHER YOU WEAR A
WHITE CLOTH AT NIGHT. OR CLEAR
PLASTIC CLOTH. DURING THE DAY.
RACISM IS RACISM. INJUSTICE
INJUSTICE AND OPPRESSION IS
IMPRESSION. TEXANS DID NOT WANT
AFRICAN AMERICANS AND NO, THEY
WERE FREE TO REASON WITH FEAR.
THROUGH THAT BLACK PEOPLE WOULD
DEMAND EQUALITY AND SPEAK OUT
AGAINST INJUSTICE FOR THAT WE
WOULD INTEGRATE FREE THAT WE
WOULD INTERMARRY. THEY USED. THE
FEAR OF INCARCERATION TO KEEP US
DOWN. BUT THE THING THEY FEAR
THE MOST IS ONE DAY WE WOULD
LEGISLATE. LUZ RIVAS ALL BLACK.
JURY AND ALL BLACK JUDGES. FEAR
OF BLACK BUSINESSES, FREEDOM,
BLACK TEACHERS, DOCTORS, LAWYERS
, ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS.
REALLY? FEAR OF AN ALL BLACK
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. WE DID
ONE BETTER ON JUNE TEAM. MOSTLY
BLACK. BROWN. L G B T Q PLUS
WOMEN PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE.
HAPPY JUNETEENTH. ALL YOUR FEARS
ARE COMING TRUE. THANK YOU, MR

DECLARED ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND
BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH TO BRING
LIGHT TO THIS DEBILITATING
DISEASE AND THE NEED TO INCREASE
EFFORTS TO COMBAT ITS HUMAN AND
ECONOMIC COST. AND THIS WEEK ON
THE SUMMER SOLSTICE JUNE 21ST
2023 YOU RECOGNIZE THE LONGEST
DAY WITH PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
COMING TOGETHER TO ENSURE THE
STRENGTH PASSION AND ENDURANCE
OF PEOPLE FACING ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE, WITH A DAY OF ACTIVITY
AND ADVOCACY, CALIFORNIA IS HOME
TO NEARLY 700,000 RESIDENTS
WITHIN ALZHEIMER'S DIAGNOSIS,
BUT THIS NUMBER DOESN'T REFLECT
THE ADDITIONAL 1,120,000 FAMILY
GIVERS, CAREGIVERS. WHO PROVIDE
A STAGGERING 884 MILLION HOURS
OF CARE. TO ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS
AS WE HAVE JUST VOTED OUT OF
BUDGET. LET ME PUT THIS UNPAID
CAREGIVING INTO REAL DOLLARS.
THE UNPAID FAMILY CARE GIVEN TO
ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS SAVES THE
STATE A WHOPPING $18 BILLION A
YEAR. WE ALL KNOW THE DATA
PROJECTED FOR AGING STATE BY THE
END OF THIS DECADE, 25% OF OUR
STATE'S POPULATION WILL BE OVER
THE AGE OF 60. AGE IS THE
GREATEST RISK FACTOR FOR
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, WHICH HAS
NO KNOWN CAUSE CURE OR
PREVENTION. AND DPH PROJECTS
THAT WHILE THE POPULATION WILL
GROW BY 16% BY 2040, THOSE
LIVING WILL ALZHEIMER'S WILL
INCREASE BY 127. COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR WILL SEE THE GREATEST
INCREASES. AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE
TO HIGHLIGHT HOW
UNDERREPRESENTED AREAS IN THE
STATE WILL FEEL. THIS IMPACT.
PROPER DIAGNOSIS LEADS TO BETTER
OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS AND THOSE
WHO CARE FOR THEM. AS A
PRACTICING PHYSICIAN. I HAVE
SEEN THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF
ALZHEIMER'S ON MY PATIENTS AND
THEIR LOVED ONES HIGHLIGHTING
PAST DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES WITHIN
MINORITY POPULATIONS AND
RECOGNIZING GEOGRAPHIC
DISPARITIES WILL BRING US CLOSER
TO PROVIDING THE CARE AND

THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
IN CALIFORNIA WITH THOSE BEING
DIET DIET, THOSE BEING DIAGNOSED
AVERAGING 4 TO 8 YEARS OF LIFE
BEYOND DIAGNOSIS. CALIFORNIA HAS
MADE GREAT STRIDES IN IMPROVING
THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND SUPPORT
FOR INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH
ALZHEIMER'S AND THEIR FAMILIES
IN 1984, THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE DEVELOPED THE
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE PROGRAM,
CREATING A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
STATE DEPARTMENT'S NONPROFITS
AND OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM. BY
UTILIZING OUR ĐỨC SYSTEM
CALIFORNIA HAS DEVELOPED A
NETWORK OF CARE THROUGHOUT THE
STATE THAT LEADS IN CLINICAL
TRIALS AND RESEARCH ON APRIL
20/8 OF THIS YEAR. THE
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE PROGRAM
AWARDED OVER $4 MILLION TO LOCAL
HEALTH DEPARTMENT AS PART OF THE
HEALTHY BRAIN INITIATIVE.
DESPITE THE PROGRESS WE HAVE
MADE PEOPLE DIAGNOSED WITH
ALZHEIMER'S, AND THEIR
CAREGIVERS STILL NEED MORE
SUPPORT. PLEASE JOIN ME. ALSO IN
SUPPORTING A CR 64 AND
RECOGNIZING JUNE AS ALMA
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND BRAIN
AWARENESS. AWARENESS MONTH.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS DIXON

RECOGNIZED ON THE RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR SPEAKER
MEMBERS FEBRUARY 20TH 2021. MY
DAUGHTER, BLAKE. SUSIE WAS BORN
AND THAT YEAR JULY 2021 MY
MOTHER IN LAW, SUSIE SUSAN RIP
CHECK PASS AWAY FROM A VERY LONG
BATTLE. WITH ALZHEIMER'S OVER 10
YEARS ACTUALLY, UM, AND IT WAS
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID,
AND WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SEE HER
AS MUCH. SHE LIVED IN A HOME AT
THAT TIME, AND YOU KNOW IT WAS
OBVIOUSLY CRUSHING, BUT I DO
FEEL YOU KNOW, AFTER THE
SUFFERING SHE WENT THROUGH, I'M
YOU KNOW, SHE'S SHE'S FREE NOW,
BUT WE OBVIOUSLY MISSED HER AND
THERE'S A LOT MORE WE CAN DO ON
ALZHEIMER'S. IT'S A IT'S NOT
ONLY PAINFUL FOR THE PERSON
GOING THROUGH IT, BUT IT'S
OBVIOUSLY PAINFUL FOR THE
FAMILIES THAT HAVE TO AH, YOU
KNOW, ENDURE IT FOR A DECADE OR
MORE. SO WITH THAT I LOOK
FORWARD TO SUPPORTING A CR 64
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING IT
AND, UH, ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO
SUPPORTING LEGISLATION AND THE
FUTURE ON THIS MATTER. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR PATTERSON AND
ASSEMBLYWOMAN STORIA YOU
RECOGNIZED ON THE RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF A C 64. AND I
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
THE CENTRAL VALLEY FROM KERN
COUNTY ASSEMBLY WOMAN, DR BAINES
FOR BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION
FORWARD. I RISE AS A DAUGHTER OF
SOMEONE THAT IS LIVING WITH
ALZHEIMER'S, UM, EIGHT YEARS
AGO, MY MOTHER AT THE EARLY AGE
OF 55 WAS DIAGNOSED WITH EARLY
ONSET OF DEMENTIA. AND SO I AM
LIVING AS A DAUGHTER. SEEN MY
FATHER BEING MY MOTHER'S MAIN
CAREGIVER WHO HAD TO RETIRE
EARLY AT THE EARLY AGE OF 60.
TWO OR 61, WHERE HE COULD HAVE
STILL KEPT WORKING, BUT HAD TO
RETIRE BECAUSE HE HAD TO PROVIDE
24 7 CARE TO MY MOM. UM THIS IS
NOT AN EASY DISEASE TO DEAL WITH
. UM I MY MOM HAS LOST THE
ABILITY TO SPEAK TO SAY OUR NAME
. SHE RECOGNIZES US, UM AND YOU
KNOW, STILL DANCES TO THE MUSIC
THAT SHE RECOGNIZES, BUT IT'S A
VERY SAD DISEASE. AND SO I HOPE
THAT THIS LEGISLATURE AND AS I
GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
HERE THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO
ADVANCE THE INVESTMENTS AS AS A
YOU KNOW AS IT IMPACTS
COMMUNITIES AND FAMILIES ACROSS
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
FAMILIES IN RURAL CALIFORNIA,
YOU KNOW MY MOM LIVES IN LINDSAY
, CALIFORNIA, THE NEAREST
LOCATION TO GET SOME OF THIS
CARE WITH UCSF ALZHEIMER'S
MEMORY CARE CENTER IS ALL THE
WAY IN FRESNO, WHICH IS 60
MINUTES, UM, OF TRAVEL, SO WHEN
IT COMES TO RESOURCES AND
ACCESSING THE TYPE OF CARE THAT
MY MOM DESERVES, IT IS VERY,
VERY FAR AWAY. AND SO I HOPE
THAT WE'RE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
PUSH OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND
THAT US, CALIFORNIA JUST LIKE WE
LEAVE THE WAY IN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT WE ALSO
LEAVE THE WAY AND MAKING SURE
THAT WE'RE TAKING CARE OF NOT
JUST THE FAMILIES THAT ARE
BEARING THE BRUNT OF THE CARE,
BUT THOSE THAT ARE LIVING WITH
ALZHEIMER'S LIKE MY MOTHER WHO
DESERVE TO HAVE DIGNITY. UH, AS
SOMEONE THAT TOILED IN THE
FIELDS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEYS
SHE DESERVES TO HAVE THE BEST
QUALITY OF CARE. UM YOU KNOW,
WITH THE YEARS THAT SHE HAS
REMAINING, SO I WANTED TO SHARE
THAT PERSONAL STORY BECAUSE THIS
IS IMPACTING OUR FAMILY AS WE
SPEAK. UM AND I HOPE THAT OTHERS
THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS
ISSUE ALSO HAVE OTHER SUPPORTS,
AND THAT CAN LEAN ON EACH OTHER
BECAUSE IT IS A VERY, VERY TOUGH
DISEASE TO DEAL WITH. SO THANK
YOU SO MUCH, ASSEMBLYWOMAN DR
BAINES FOR PUTTING THIS
RESOLUTION FORWARD. I STRONGLY
ASK ALL OF YOU TO SUPPORT THIS
AND THAT WE WORK TOGETHER ON
OTHER EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT
FOLKS LIKE MY FAMILY THAT LIVES

DURING COVID DURING COVID 19
PANDEMIC. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING
WITH ALZHEIMER'S IN CALIFORNIA
AND NUMBER OF PROJECTS TO DOUBLE
BY 2040. WITH ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE BEING THE NUMBER FOUR
