READING FILE ASSEMBLY BILLS.
FILE NUMBER 56. A CR 106.
PELLERIN. EXCUSE ME. ONE OF SIX
SORRY. CLERK WILL READ. A SEMI
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 106 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PELLERIN AND
OTHERS RELATIVE TO SUICIDE
PREVENTION AWARENESS, MOTH
KILLER AND YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. HOW. I RISE TODAY TO
ASK FOR YOUR CO AUTHORSHIP.
YOU'RE I VOTE. AND YOUR VOICE.
FOR A CR 106, WHICH PROCLAIMS
SEPTEMBER SUICIDE PREVENTION
AWARENESS MONTH. AND THANK YOU
FOR WEARING YOUR PEN TODAY.
SUICIDE WAS NOT A TOPIC. I SPENT
MUCH TIME THINKING OR TALKING
ABOUT BEFORE NOVEMBER 19TH 2018.
WHEN MY HUSBAND OF 25 YEARS, TOM
THE FATHER. OF OUR TWO CHILDREN.
DIED BY SUICIDE. I AM MOTIVATED
TO SPEAK OPENLY AND PUBLICLY
ABOUT SUICIDE. AND MENTAL
CONDITIONS BECAUSE SUICIDE IS
PREVENTABLE AND MENTAL
CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED. EARLY
IN MY GRIEVING PROCESS. I WANT
TO TALK. I WENT TO A TALK ON
SUICIDE, AND THE SPEAKER
ENCOURAGED US TO PUT OUR GRIEF
TO WORK. THAT RESONATED WITH ME
. SO I JOINED A SUICIDE SUICIDE
SURVIVORS GROUP DID THE
OVERNIGHT WALK IN SAN FRANCISCO
TO RAISE MONEY AND AWARENESS FOR
SUICIDE PREVENTION STARTED A
FACEBOOK GROUP FOR SUICIDE
SURVIVORS AND JOINED THE LOCAL
LOCAL NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON
MENTAL ILLNESS BOARD. NAMI IS AN
INCREDIBLE ORGANIZATION,
PROVIDING EDUCATION AND SUPPORT
TO FAMILIES AND PEOPLE IN NEED.
THEY CERTAINLY HELPED ME A LOT.
I PARTICIPATED IN THEIR FAMILY
TO FAMILY PROGRAM, WHICH IS A
FREE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR
THOSE WITH A LOVED ONE WITH A
MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION. IF YOU
ARE A LOVED ONE IS HAVING
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS OR
EXPERIENCING A MENTAL CONDITION
. PLEASE REACH OUT TO NAMI. I
THEN RAN AND WAS ELECTED TO THIS
PRESTIGIOUS BODY BECAUSE I WANT
TO BE A VOICE AND A FACE FOR
SUICIDE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS
AS WELL AS MENTAL HEALTH. I'M
HONORED TO SERVE AS VICE CHAIR
OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
CALIFORNIA'S MENTAL HEALTH
CRISIS, WHICH IS CHAIRED BY MY
COLLEAGUE FROM MARINO VALLEY. I
KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO TALK
ABOUT SUICIDE AND OUR MENTAL
HEALTH. IN THE BEGINNING. IT WAS
VERY HARD FOR ME. BUT NOW AS MY
FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL ATTEST,
I DO IT OFTEN. I'VE LEARNED A
LOT ABOUT SUICIDE AND MY JOURNEY
AND I'M GRATEFUL TO MY CHILDREN
, FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO HAVE
SUPPORTED ME ON THIS PATH.
SUICIDE IS NOT A SELFISH ACT. IT
IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WHEN A
PERSON FEELS COMPLETELY OUT OF
HOPE. AND IS IN A VERY DARK
PLACE AND LOSES THEIR FEAR OF
DEATH. MY CHILDREN CANNOT SAY
THAT THEIR DAD DIED BY SUICIDE
IN THE BEGINNING BECAUSE IT WAS
TOO PAINFUL AND THE STIGMA TOO
PROFOUND. MY DAUGHTER ACTUALLY
TOLD FRIENDS THAT HER DAD DIED
OF A HEART ATTACK. IN FACT,
THAT'S NOT FAR FROM THE TRUTH.
AS HIS HEART WAS BROKEN. PLEASE
NOTICE I DID NOT SAY TOM
COMMITTED SUICIDE. SUICIDE IS
NOT A CRIME. IT IS THE RESULT OF
AN ILLNESS. WE DO NOT SAY
SOMEONE COMMITTED CANCER. WORDS
MATTER. SO PLEASE SAY DIED BY
SUICIDE OR TOOK THEIR OWN LIFE.
THE REALITY IS EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF US HAS STRUGGLED. HAS
FELT HOPELESS. IT HAS BEEN
DEPRESSED. ESPECIALLY DURING THE
LAST SEVERAL YEARS OF LIVING
THROUGH A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. YET
MANY OF US SILENTLY FIGHT OUR
OWN BATTLES. THE 988 EMERGENCY
MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINE THAT
LAUNCHED IN JULY. 2022 IS A
GREAT STEP TOWARD MEETING THE
NEEDS OF THOSE IN A MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS. EASY TO REMEMBER
NUMBER THAT YOU CAN CALL OR TEXT
THE GOAL NOW IS TO PROVIDE 24 7
EMERGENCY MOBILE MENTAL HEALTH
RESPONSE AND PROVIDE THE
ESSENTIAL TRAINED PROFESSIONALS
AND CARE FACILITIES NEEDED TO
TREAT THOSE IN A MENTAL HEALTH
CRISIS. SUICIDE IS THE SECOND
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR
PEOPLE AGES 25 TO 34. AND THE
THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
PRETEND TO 14 YEAR OLDS. SINCE
THE BEGINNING OF 2023, THERE HAS
BEEN AN AVERAGE OF 67 SUICIDES
PER DAY IN THE UNITED STATES.
THAT'S ONE EVERY 21 MINUTES. AND
CALIFORNIA. THE RATE OF SUICIDE
IS 10.4 PER 100,000 RESIDENTS.
AND FIREARMS WERE USED AND ONE
OUT OF THREE OF THOSE SUICIDES.
SUICIDE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE.
IT IMPACTS ALL PEOPLE OF ALL
AGES. GENDERS RACE, ETHNICITY,
INCOMES AND SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS.
BUT SUICIDE NUMBERS ARE HIGHER
FOR WHITE MALES VETERANS, PEOPLE
WHO LIVE IN RURAL AREAS. L G B T
Q YOUTH AND TRANSGENDER ADULTS,
MIDDLE AGED ADULTS AND TRIBAL
POPULATIONS. FACTORS THAT ARE
LINKED TO SUICIDE INCLUDES
SUBSTANCE MISUSE, JOB OR
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. RELATIONSHIP
PROBLEMS, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES AND OR EASY TO
ACCESS LETHAL MEANS.
ADDITIONALLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE
EXPERIENCED VIOLENCE INCLUDING
CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, LIKE
BULLYING AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE,
VIOLENCE HAVE A HIGHER SUICIDE
RISK. DEPRESSION IS THE LEADING
CAUSE OF SUICIDE. AND DEPRESSION
CAN BE TREATED WITH MEDICATION
AND THERAPY. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT
THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS AGREED
TO MY REQUEST TO POST THE 988
EMERGENCY MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINE
IN ALL PUBLIC BATHROOMS. WE NEED
TO MAKE IT EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND
REMOVE THE STIGMA. AS FOR ALL OF
YOU LISTENING TODAY, I REQUEST
THE FOLLOWING I WANT US ALL TO
RECOGNIZE THAT SUICIDE IS A
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS. I WANT ALL
WORKPLACES TO PROVIDE SUICIDE
PREVENTION AWARENESS TRAINING
FOR THEIR WORKERS. I WANT EACH
OF US TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE IN
OUR LIVES AND ASK THEM HOW THEY
ARE REALLY FEELING. AND IT'S
OKAY TO ASK SOMEONE IF THEY'RE
THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE. I WANT
PARENTS TO HAVE INFORMATION
ABOUT SUICIDE PREVENTION, AND I
ENCOURAGE THEM TO TALK TO THEIR
CHILDREN, OFTEN ABOUT THEIR
MENTAL HEALTH. WE DESPERATELY
NEED TO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELORS IN SCHOOLS, AND I
LOVE THE IDEA OF CREATING
WELLNESS CENTERS ON CAMPUSES. I
WANT EVERYONE TO ACCEPT. THAT WE
ALL HAVE A ROLE IN PREVENTING
SUICIDE. LEARNED THE WARNING
SIGNS, ASK THE DIFFICULT
QUESTIONS AND LET FAMILY FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBORS NO, THEY ARE NOT
ALONE. TALK TO THEM. LISTEN. YOU
DON'T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT, AND
IT MIGHT FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. LET
THEM KNOW THAT HELP IS
AVAILABLE. TELL THEM WHAT THEY
ARE EXPERIENCING IS TREATABLE
AND THAT SUICIDAL FEELINGS ARE
TEMPORARY. SUICIDE. IS FINAL.
AND ONE THING WE NEED MORE OF IN
THIS WORLD IS KINDNESS. PLEASE
BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER, EVEN TO
THOSE WHO ARE UNKIND TO YOU. YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
SOMEONE'S LIFE, SO SHARE A SMILE
OR A WAVE OF THE STRANGER. BE
POSITIVE, RESPECTFUL AND
CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS. IF YOU
WERE HAVING SUICIDAL THOUGHTS OR
A MENTAL HEALTH EPISODE, PLEASE
REACH OUT BY CALLING OR TEXTING
THE HOTLINE AT 988. I WANT
ANYONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT
SUICIDE TO KNOW THAT YOUR LIFE
MATTERS. YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
WILL NOT BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT
YOU. TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO
KNOWS. I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS
FINAL THOUGHT THAT CAME FROM A
FRIEND. WHEN PEOPLE DON'T WANT
TO LIVE. IT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT
THE WORLD WE'VE CREATED FOR ALL
OF US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
AND ATTENTION. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
JACKSON. YOU WERE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM
SPEAKER. I WOULD LIKE. TO
ASSOCIATE MY WORDS WITH MY DEAR
FRIEND FROM SANTA CRUZ. WHOSE
MORAL CLARITY AND WHOSE COURAGE
ON THIS ISSUE IS UNMATCHED. IT
IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE
UNDERSTAND THE FACTS. THE CENTER
FOR DISEASE CONTROL RELEASED IS
MOST RECENT DATA. PERTAINING TO
YOUTH WHEN IT COMES TO MENTAL
HEALTH. AND THEY OUTLINED THE
FOLLOWING. THAT IS SO IMPORTANT.
FEMALE STUDENTS WERE NEARLY
TWICE AS LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE
PERSISTENT FEELINGS OF SADNESS.
OR HOPELESSNESS. AND NEARLY
TWICE AS LIKELY TO ATTEMPT
SUICIDE DURING THE PAST YEAR
COMPARED TO THEIR MALE PEERS.
WITH NEARLY SIX AND 10 FILLING,
PERSISTENTLY SAD OR HOPELESS AND
MORE THAN ONE IN 10 ATTEMPTING
SUICIDE. L G B T Q. PLUS
STUDENTS WERE NEARLY FOUR TIMES
AS LIKELY AS THEIR HETEROSEXUAL
PEERS TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE DURING
THE PAST YEAR, WITH MORE THAN
TWO AND 10 REPORTING THIS
EXPERIENCE. ATTEMPTING SUICIDE
WAS HIGHER AMONG BLACK STUDENTS
THAN STUDENTS FROM OTHER GROUPS
AND INCREASED AMONG BLACK AND
WHITE STUDENTS FROM 2011 TO
2021. DURING MENTAL HEALTH
MONTH. UM WE MADE IT CLEAR AND
WE TRIED TO SET THE BAR HIGH. TO
UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS OUR MORAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO DO EVERYTHING
THAT WE CAN TO ADDRESS MENTAL
HEALTH. SO THAT WE CAN ALSO
ADDRESS SUICIDE. AND AT THAT
TIME I STATED THAT IF WE ASK
OURSELVES OFF, IF ALL IF WE ARE
DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN AH!
AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO SAY
NO. AND NOW TOWARDS THE END OF
THIS SESSION. WHEN WE CONTINUE
TO ASK OURSELVES ARE WE DOING
EVERYTHING THAT WE KNOW THAT WE
CAN DO? IN ORDER TO ADDRESS
MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE.
UNFORTUNATELY AGAIN, I MUST SAY
NO. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BILLS
THAT DIED. TO ADDRESS MENTAL
HEALTH THAT WAS BASED ON DATA.
THAT WAS BASED ON SCIENCE. BUT
UNFORTUNATELY AGAIN, WE ALLOWED
POLITICS TO GET INTO THE WAY. WE
WERE AFRAID TO STEP ON PEOPLE'S
TOES. WE HAVE FAILED THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA AND OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE. AND SO NEXT YEAR, WE'RE
GOING TO TRY AGAIN AND DO
AGGRESSIVE. RESEARCH BASED
SOLUTIONS. THE PROFESSIONALS
TOTALLY AGREE ON WE'RE GOING TO
TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR. BUT WE NEED
TO REMEMBER TIMES LIKE THIS.
WHERE WERE ALL SAD? AND THERE'S
NO ONE WHO WOULD DISAGREE HOW
IMPORTANT THIS ISSUE IS. WE NEED
TO CONTINUE TO FEEL THAT WAY
WHEN IT'S TIME TO DO THE REAL
WORK. AGAIN I WANT TO THANK MY
DEAR FRIEND FROM SANTA CRUZ, WHO
IT'S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE
TO WORK WITH ON THIS ISSUE. BUT
AGAIN, FOLKS WE SHOULD HAVE DONE
MORE, WE COULD HAVE DONE MORE.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. THANK
YOU. SO MANY MEMBER
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MATHIS YOU
RECOGNIZED. ME MOVE THIS
MICROPHONE SO I CAN FACE MOST OF
YOU. I WANT TO THANK OUR
COLLEAGUE. FIRST AND FOREMOST.
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND
OFFERING THIS I'VE SHARED
BEFORE. MY EXPERIENCE IS A
VETERAN. OF BEING ON THE PHONE.
TRAVELING HOURS TRYING TO KEEP
FRIENDS ON THE PHONE. BECAUSE
THEY WERE THERE. THAT THERE WERE
AT THAT POINT. I'VE SHARED
HOWEVER, LOST. MORE OF MY
FRIENDS, MY BATTLE BUDDIES. TWO
SUICIDE. THEN WE DID IN THE WAR.
I'VE SHARED AND JOKES, SOMETIMES
ABOUT WEARING MY 22 A DAY. BUT
WHAT I HAVE NOT SHARED. IT'S MY
OWN STORY. THIS MORNING, AN
OFFENSE I DID ON OPIOIDS JUST
HIT SAXBY. I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL
ALL TO READ IT. BECAUSE I'M
PISSED THAT OUR STATE IS STILL
DOING BUSINESS. WITH THE SAME
COMPANY. THAT PEDDLED OPIOIDS
AND GOT ALL OUR VETERANS HOOKED
ON THIS CRAP. WHEN WE GOT HOME.
I WAS ONE OF THEM. NO. I GOT A
PURPLE HEART. YOU KNOW, I WAS A
COMBAT. SOME OF YOU HAVE SHARED
YEAH. THEN WHEN I CAME HOME, I
CAME HOME TO NOTHING BUT MY CAR.
MY COUNSELOR IN THE RED. THE V A
. HANDED ME A COCKTAIL OF PILLS
. THERE'S A BAG OF PILLS. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I WAS 25
YEARS OLD. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE
BODY OF AN 85 YEAR OLD MAN.
HERE'S A BAG OF PILLS, SON.
THANK YOU. THAT COCKTAIL OF
OPIOIDS AND UPPERS AND DOUBTERS
THAT I WAS GIVEN. MESSED ME UP.
WITH ALL THE OTHER EMOTIONAL
DISTRESS OF BEING BACK.
WONDERING WHY. GOD LET ME LIVE
THROUGH THAT. TO COME HOME TO
WHAT I CAME HOME TO. AND I HAD
AN ATTEMPT. WHERE I TRIED TO
TAKE MY OWN LIFE. AND WHAT I
TOLD MY UNCLE ABOUT IT. HE MADE
SURE I GOT HELP. I WAS BLESSED
TO HAVE THE FAMILY AROUND ME
THAT OTHERS DON'T. WE HAVE AN
OPIOID EPIDEMIC STILL. OUR STATE
IS STILL GIVING MONEY TO THOSE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF MY
BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS, MY
BATTLE BUDDIES, THOSE WHO GAVE
EVERYTHING FOR OUR FREEDOM. IT'S
IMPORTANT. THAT WE TALKED ABOUT
SUICIDE. IT IS VITAL. BUT WE
HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE
DEPRESSION. IN THE OTHER THINGS
THAT LEAD INTO THE SUICIDE. THE
SELF MEDICATION THAT HAPPENS.
THEY'RE GETTING HOOKED ON
SUBSTANCES THAT HAPPENS. A LOT
OF US DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT IS
HAPPENING TO US. AT THE TIME
BECAUSE IT WAS PRESCRIBED. I
KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
COLLEAGUES. WE HAVE TO DO MORE.
AND IT'S NOT JUST PASSING MENTAL
HEALTH POLICIES AND ACCESS TO
COUNSELING. BUT IT'S ALSO
LOOKING DEEPER. INTO WHAT WE'RE
ALLOWING. ON THE STREETS. IT'S
GOING HARDER AFTER THINGS LIKE
FENTANYL. IT'S MAKING SURE AS
WE'RE DOING PRESCRIPTIONS AND
THINGS THAT THESE THINGS ARE
ACTUALLY LOOKED INTO AND CHECKED
INTO, AS WE FOUND OUT. WE
HAVEN'T WATCHED THE NETFLIX
SERIES PAINKILLER. I ENCOURAGE
YOU TO DO SO. WE HAVE TO DO
MORE. WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO
DO MORE. WE NEED TO TAKE THIS
TIME WE NEED TO TAKE THIS MONTH.
AS WE TALK ABOUT SUICIDE LOOK
INTO THE FACTORS. THAT GO INTO
IT. LOOK INTO THE POLICIES THAT
WE PUT IN PLACE. ASK YOURSELVES
WHY OR MORE MEN COMMITTING
SUICIDE. BECAUSE WE WERE GROWING
UP TO BE MACHISMO TO TAKE CARE
OF THINGS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE.
AND OUR ECONOMY IS SO UP. WE
FEEL LIKE WE CAN'T SO WHAT IS
OUR VALUE IF WE CAN'T PROVIDE.
WE HAVE TO REALLY SERIOUSLY, NOT
JUST TALKING ABOUT OH, WE NEED
TO MAKE SURE THERE'S MENTAL
HEALTH. LET THEM GET THERE. WHAT
ARE WE DOING? WHAT ARE THE
POLICIES THAT WE ARE PASSING? TO
MAKE CALIFORNIA BETTER SOCIETY
TO LIVE IN WHERE THE MENTAL
HEALTH OF EVERYBODY IS BETTER.
WHERE WE CAN FLOURISH WHERE WE
CAN THRIVE. WE CAN HAVE THAT
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. TO MAKE
ALL THE TROUBLES IN OUR LIFE
WORTHWHILE. I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL
TO DO THAT. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO
READ THIS ARTICLE. THAT I WROTE
ABOUT OPIOIDS. AND ACTUALLY TAKE
ACTION. DON'T JUST PANDER TO US.
ON MENTAL HEALTH. TAKE DECISIVE
ACTION. JOIN ME IN MAKING THIS
STATEMENT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT
HERE ISN'T GOING TO DO BUSINESS
WITH THOSE THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE
OF OUR VETERANS. AND GOT THEM
HOOKED. AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT
IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIMILAR
MEMBER MATHIS ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
POWDER JOE PATTERSON RECOGNIZED

WANTED TO THANK MY FRIEND FROM
SANTA CRUZ FOR AUTHORING. AH
THIS RESOLUTION. WE I WAS
ACTUALLY IN HER OFFICE, UH, FEW
MONTHS AGO. NOW I DON'T KNOW. IT
SEEMS LIKE A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT
WE WERE DISCUSSING SUICIDE, AND
I MADE THE MISTAKE OF MENTIONING
HOW, UM IN MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
WE HAD A, UH SOMEBODY COMMITTED
SUICIDE. AND SHE CORRECTED ME,
SHE SAID DIED BY SUICIDE. AND,
UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS WAS
40 YEARS AGO. AND I THINK ABOUT
WHAT'S HAPPENED AND WHAT'S
TRANSPIRED OVER THE LAST 40
YEARS, AND IF WE HAD MORE
AWARENESS AND MORE DISCUSSIONS
AND MORE HONESTY WITH EACH OTHER
ABOUT THIS ISSUE, UM YOU KNOW,
40 YEARS AGO, THINGS WOULD BE A
LOT DIFFERENT, BUT I ALSO THINK
ABOUT HOW IT'S IMPACTED MY
FAMILY OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS.

HONESTY ABOUT HER OWN PATH MAKES
EACH OF US STRONGER. AND OUR
COLLEAGUE MARINO VALLEY FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP IN THIS SPACE WHEN I
JOINED THIS ESTEEMED BODY FIVE
YEARS AGO, I THINK SENATOR
EDMUND WAS ONE OF THE FEW
MEMBERS ON THIS FLOOR WHO WAS
LASER FOCUSED ON THIS ISSUE. AND
OVER THE COURSE OF THOSE FIVE
YEARS, THINGS HAVE CHANGED ON
THIS FLOOR. AND MORE OF US ARE
INFESTED AND DEDICATED. AND ARE
MAKING THE CHANGE THAT IS NEEDED
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO LISTEN
THAT MORE IS NEEDED. BUT I WANT
TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WORK.
YOU HAVE DONE THE BRAVERY AND
VOTING FOR VERY HARD THINGS.
VOTING FOR A FEE BILL DURING THE
LARGEST SURPLUS IN CALIFORNIA
HISTORY TO GIVE PEOPLE ACCESS TO

IT BECAUSE EACH OF YOU HAD A
STORY. WHEN I SAT DOWN WITH EACH
OF YOU TO TALK EACH HAD A STORY
OF WHY THIS MATTERED. AND WHEN I
SPOKE THAT DAY TWO OF OUR
COLLEAGUES CAME UP AND HAD LOST
SOMEONE BY SUICIDE THAT WEEK. AS
WE PASSED THE 98 BILL. THIS
ISN'T EACH OF OUR LIVES AND IT
IS IN OUR CONSTITUENTS LIVES,

SENATOR PORTANTINO AND OTHERS
NAPOLI AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
DECLARING THE URGENCY THEIR APPS
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
REMEMBER THREE OF US YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER TODAY I'M PRESENTING SB
4 11 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
PORTANTINO. SB 4 11 WILL ENSURE
THAT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS CAN
CONTINUE SERVING THEIR
CONSTITUENTS THROUGH
TELECONFERENCE TELECONFERENCING
WITH APPROPRIATE GUARDRAILS FOR
THOSE OF MY COLLEAGUES, WHO ARE
NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS IN LOS
ANGELES, THEIR GRASSROOTS BOARDS
MADE UP OF VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE
ELECTED TO OFFICE BY ROUGHLY
40,000 MEMBERS OF THEIR LOCAL
COMMUNITY, AND THEY OPERATE AS
ADVISORY BODIES. RECEIVING NO
PAY FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION.
ANOTHER UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC OF
ALLAH'S NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS IS
THAT THERE ARE 99 OF THEM
MEETING REGULARLY, AND EACH OF
THESE HAS SUBCOMMITTEES THAT
MEET REGULARLY AS WELL DUE TO
THE COVID 19 PUBLIC HEALTH,
EMERGENCY AUDIO AND VIDEO
TELECONFERENCING WERE WIDELY
USED TO CONDUCT PUBLIC MEETINGS.
FOR THE LOS ANGELES NEIGHBORHOOD
COUNCILS. THIS ALLOWED THEM TO
REMAIN PRODUCTIVE AND RESPONSIVE
TO CONSTITUENT NEEDS IT
INCREASED PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
INCREASED THE POOL OF CANDIDATES
WHO WERE ABLE TO SERVE AND
PROTECTED THE HEALTH AND SAFETY
OF THE PUBLIC. THE TRANSITION
BACK TO IN PERSON MEETINGS HAS
BEEN ESPECIALLY HARD ON THE CITY
OF L, A AND THEIR INNOVATIVE
NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL SYSTEM DUE
TO ITS LARGE GEOGRAPHIC SIZE,
LARGE AND DIVERSE POPULATION.
TRAFFIC HAZARDS AND THE SHEER
NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS.
AND JUST THE LAST FEW MONTHS AS
NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS WERE
FORCED TO TRANSITION BACK TO IN
PERSON MEETINGS, NUMEROUS
COUNCILS HAVE HAD TO CANCEL
THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED
MEETINGS DUE TO THEIR INABILITY
TO ESTABLISH QUORUM. SOME HAVE
BEEN UNABLE TO SECURE LOCATION
FOR THEIR MEETINGS, AND OTHERS
HAVE BEEN A I HAVE SEEN A
DRASTIC DROP IN ATTENDANCE AS
THINGS STAND NOW, THIS IS SIMPLY
NOT TENABLE AND HAS ALREADY HAD
THE EFFECT OF REDUCING
CONSTITUENT PARTICIPATION IN
THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. SB 4 11
WILL ENSURE THE VITALITY AND
PRODUCTIVITY OF THESE IMPORTANT
ADVISORY BODIES. FOR THESE
REASONS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU.

FRIEDMAN. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. I RISE TODAY TO SPEAK
OF LAURA AND CARLTON, A
CONSTITUENT OF MINE. TRAGICALLY
AND VIOLENTLY TAKEN BEFORE HER
TIME. LARA CARLTON WAS A FORCE
SHE WAS A DEDICATED COMMUNITY
ACTIVIST, A FIERCE CHAMPION OF
THE TWO CITIES SHE CALLED HOME
STUDIO CITY IN MY DISTRICT, AND
LIKE ARROWHEAD, WHERE WE SHE SHE
HAD A VACATION CABIN. SHE WAS
ALSO A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.
MAGPIE WAS LAURA'S BABY. SHE'D
LEFT BEHIND HER LIFE AS AN
EXECUTIVE AT KENNETH COLE TO
OPEN HER OWN ECLECTIC CLOTHING
STORE THAT SHE AND HER FAMILY
WOULD REGULARLY CLOSED AND
CONVERT INTO A RELIEF CENTER,
WHERE THEY GAVE OUT FREE
SUPPLIES TO VICTIMS OF STORMS
AND WILDFIRES. THE RAINBOW FLAG
THAT HUNG IN HER STORE WINDOW
MEANT A LOT TO LAURA AND THE
LOCAL LGBT Q PLUS COMMUNITY. HER
STORE WAS FOR MANY A BASTION OF
SAFETY. UNTIL IT WASN'T. ONE
HATEFUL BIGOT WITH A GUN ENDED
LAURA'S LIFE. AFTER STRIPPING
THE PRIDE FLAG, A FLAG VERY MUCH
LIKE THE ONE THAT ADORNS MANY OF
OUR OUR DESKS HERE. THAT GUNMAN
LEFT HER TO COMMUNITIES, HER
HUSBAND AND HER NINE CHILDREN
REELING. THERE SHOULD BE NO
WORLD IN WHICH SUPPORTING THE
LGBTQ COMMUNITY SHOULD COST YOU
YOUR LIFE. AND YET WE LOST LARA.
MEMBERS WE LIVE IN A WORLD RIGHT
NOW, WHERE PEOPLE DISPLAYING
THIS FLAG OR VOICING SUPPORT FOR
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES VOICING
SUPPORT FOR THE MANY, MANY LGBT
Q. PLUS MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY
ARE REGULARLY DEMONIZED.
REGULARLY CALLED GROOMERS. AND
PREDATORS. USING THAT LANGUAGE
HAS A COST. TELLING PEOPLE THAT
THOSE WHO FLY THIS FLAG THAT
TEACHERS WHO WANT THEIR STUDENTS
TO UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLE'S
EXPERIENCES. OTHER PEOPLE'S
STORIES ARE HISTORY. TO LEARN
ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY, TO SEE THE
EXPERIENCES. AND THE IDENTITIES.
THAT PEOPLE ARE FREE TO EXPRESS.
THE GENDERS, SEXUAL
ORIENTATIONS. THAT THEY
POSSESSED THAT SEEING THAT IN
LIBRARIES. IN MEDIA THAT THAT IS
SOMEHOW WRONG, TELLING PEOPLE
THAT IT'S OKAY TO OPENLY BE
INTOLERANT AND HATEFUL WITHOUT
ANY PUSHBACK. TO SEE THAT HATRED
NORMALIZED TO THE POINT WHERE
PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN ARE
BEING PREYED ON IN SCHOOLS. BY
TEACHERS WHO ARE GAY OR
TRANSGENDER. THAT LEADS. SOME
PEOPLE TO VIOLENCE, EXCUSES FOR
SOME PEOPLE. THE ACTION OF
TAKING A GUN. AND DOING
SOMETHING HORRIFIC. AND THAT IS
WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE. LARA
LIVED HER LIFE FULL OF LOVE.
LOVE FOR HER FAMILY LOVE FOR HER
COMMUNITY. LOVE HER VICTIMS OF
STORMS AND VICTIMS OF WILDFIRES.
PEOPLE THAT SHE HAD NEVER MET
BEFORE. AND SHE EXPRESSED HER
LOVE FOR THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY AND REFUSED TO STAND
DOWN TO BE BIGOTS AND THAT COST
HER HER LIFE. WE ARE ALL
DIMINISHED AND LESS FOR HAVING
LOST LARA. MAY HER MEMORY BE A
BLESSING AND A GUIDING LIGHT FOR
US ALL. AND MAY WE ALL RECOMMIT
TO TOLERANCE. AND INCLUSION AND
LOVE. THANK YOU MEMBERS.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER LACKEY. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. ALL RIGHT. WELL,
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I ALSO
RISE TO REQUEST THAT WE
ADJOURNED THE MEMORY OF LAURA
AND CARLTON. AS WE HAVE LEARNED
SHE WAS A MOTHER, AN ADVOCATE
AND A DEEPLY COMPASSIONATE HUMAN
BEING. WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM
US ON FRIDAY. AUGUST 18TH. LARA
SHE WAS KNOWN BY HER FAMILY AND
FRIENDS BROUGHT JOY AND COMFORT.
COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS ACROSS
THREE YEARS SPENT IN THE FASHION
INDUSTRY. CULMINATING WITH HER
OPENING AND OPERATING HER OWN
SUCCESSFUL CLOSING CLOTHING
BUSINESS WITH LOCATIONS IN LAKE
ARROWHEAD AND STUDIO CITY. AS
LARGE DESCRIBED IT, HER
STOREFRONTS WERE ALL ABOUT
TACKLING EVERYDAY LIFE WITH
GRACE AND EASE AND CONTINUING TO
DREAM. HER LIFE AND CAREER WHERE
THE EMBODIMENT OF THOSE
PRINCIPLES SHE TRAVELED THE
WORLD WITH HER HUSBAND OF 28
YEARS. AND RAISED THEIR NINE
CHILDREN. BUT NEVER LOST THE
SIGHT OF CAUSES THAT MATTER TO
HER. THIS HATEFUL ACT THAT LED
TO THE LOSS OF LAURA'S LIFE. HAS
NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY. IT'S A
IT'S UNTHINKABLE. THAT
DISAGREEMENT OVER A PRIDE FLAG.
COULD EVER RESULT IN SUCH
PERMANENT LOSS. AND WE'RE ALL
DEVASTATED A DEEPLY SADDENED
THAT IT DID. WE ALL CONTINUE TO
MOURN HER PASSING. AND FEEL THE
WHOLE HER ABSENCE LEFT IN OUR
HEARTS. SHE IS SURVIVED BY HER
HUSBAND, BART, AND THEIR NINE
CHILDREN, NINE CHILDREN. SHE
WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED. AND I
JOINED EACH OF YOU. AS I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE
ADJOURN AND LAURA AND CARLTON'S
MEMORY. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MB MEMBER WARD.
YOU WERE RECOGNIZED. SPEAKER I
ALSO RISES THE VICE CHAIR OF OUR
LGBTQ CAUCUS WHO ADJOURNING THE
MEMORY OF LAURA AND COLTON. I
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FROM
GLENDALE AND THE HIGH DESERT AS
WELL FOR THEIR THOUGHTFUL WORDS.
HATEFUL LANGUAGE HAS
CONSEQUENCES. AND WE HAVE HEARD
SOME OF THAT PARTICULARLY IN OUR
DISCUSSIONS AND CERTAINLY IN
DISCUSSIONS AFFECTING OUR
BUSINESS AROUND HERE, AND
SOMETIMES THAT IS AMPLIFIED. AND
THAT GIVES PERMISSION FOR PEOPLE
TO ACT OUT ON THAT. AND SO IT'S
ONE THING IF WE PASS RESOLUTIONS
TO SAY WE'RE ALL ANTI HEAT AND
THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY MATCH
THAT UP. WITH THE ACTIONS THAT
WE TAKE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
LAUREAN CARLTON, AS YOU HEARD
WAS AN AMAZING CONTRIBUTED TO
HER COMMUNITY. AN AMAZING MOM, A
STRAIGHT ALLY. WHO DIDN'T BACK
DOWN TO THAT HEAT, AND IT COST
HER HER LIFE.
IT WAS PRETTY PIPE PROFILE. BUT
SHE WASN'T THE FIRST ONE AND SHE
WON'T BE THE LAST UNTIL OUR
WORDS. MATTER ACTIONS. IT WAS A
SENSELESS ACT OF VIOLENCE AND
HATE WHEN PEOPLE ACT LIKE ANTI
GAY AND ANTI TRANS RHETORIC
ISN'T DANGEROUS. CLEARLY THIS
AFFECTS US ALL. AND I WANT THEM
TO REMEMBER THIS TRAGEDY. THIS
ATTACKER HE ONLY NEEDED THE SITE
OF A RAINBOW FLAG. TO UNLEASH
SOMETHING INSIDE OF HIMSELF,
WHICH OF COURSE NEEDED TO BE
WORKED ON, BUT THAT WAS THE
TRIGGER. AND WHY DID THAT BECOME
THE TRIGGER? BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY
IT SHOULD BE A TRIGGER. IN THE
PAST. I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT LARA.
HER PRIDE FLAGS. OR SOMETHING
THAT SHE WAS PROUD OF, BECAUSE
SHE BELIEVED EVERYBODY SHOULD BE
A PART OF THE COMMUNITY. AND
BEYOND OUR LGBT BROTHERS AND
SISTERS. SHE WAS THERE FOR JUST
THIS FEBRUARY BLIZZARD BLIZZARD
THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR IT
AFFECTED HER MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY
AND HER HUSBAND. THEY WERE
PIVOTAL IN ORGANIZING A FREE
STORE TO PROVIDE FREE FOOD AND
SUPPLIES FOR FOUR MONTHS AFTER
THE BLIZZARD, SHE WAS A PILLAR.
SHE WAS A BRIGHT LIGHT OF
TOLERANCE AND ACCEPTANCE AND
SUPPORT FOR HER NINE CHILDREN.
WE LOST A REALLY NICE PERSON.
BECAUSE OF HATEFUL LANGUAGE. AND
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE
ADJOURN IN HER MEMORY TODAY.
