ROBERTS DAY, WHICH IS A DAY OF
CELEBRATION, RENEWAL AND
COMMITMENT TO EQUAL ACCESS FOR
PEOPLE OF ALL ABILITIES, OFTEN
CALLED THE FATHER OF THE LIVING
INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT, AND
ROBERTS WAS BORN ON JANUARY 23RD
1939 AND CONTRACTED POLIO AT THE
AGE OF 14, WHICH WOULD LEFT HIM
WITH SIGNIFICANT RESPIRATORY
MUSCLE AND LIMB WEAKNESS, WHICH
CAUSED HIM TO USE A WHEELCHAIR
FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. WHEN A
HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
THREATENED TO DENY HIM HIS
DIPLOMA ON THE GROUNDS OF NON
COMPLETION OF DRIVER'S EDUCATION
AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION, AND
ROBERTS FOUGHT BACK AND THAT
BATTLE AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
LED HIM TO A LIFE OF ACTIVISM.
NOT ONLY DID HE GRADUATE HIGH
SCHOOL, HE EVENTUALLY BECAME THE
FIRST STUDENT USING A WHEELCHAIR
TO ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA. IT SUCCESSFULLY SUED
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO BE
ADMITTED AND CONVINCE THE
UNIVERSITY EXCEPT MORE STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES WHEN DISABLED
STUDENTS STARTED TO ARRIVE ON
CAMPUS, THEY JOINED WITH THAT TO
ESTABLISH THE DISABLED STUDENT
UNION. HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
ESTABLISHING THE FIRST CENTER
FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING IN
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA AND IS
SPECIAL ONE OF A KIND WHEELCHAIR
NOW RESTS IN HIS MEMORY AT THIS
SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM. HIS LEGACY
LIVES ON AND IS AN INSPIRATION
TO THE MANY DIFFERENTLY ABLED
PEOPLE WHO FIGHT FOR THEIR
RIGHTS AND EQUAL ACCESS IN OUR
STATE TODAY. HERE WITH US TODAY
IS HIS DEAR FRIEND, A DISABILITY

MOVING ON TO FILE ITEM 111 A CR
125 BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PELLERIN
, THE CLERK WILL READ SIMPLY
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 125 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PELLERIN AND
OTHERS RELATIVE TO NATIONAL
HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS
MONTH. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
PELLERIN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU. MR SPEAKER REMEMBERS
I RISE TO PRESENT A CR 1 TO 5 IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR COLLEAGUES
FROM STOCKTON'S, WHICH WILL
DESIGNATE THE MONTH OF JANUARY
2024 AS NATIONAL HUMAN
TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS A CRIME
THAT INVOLVES THE USE OF
COERCION TO RECRUIT AND HARBOR A
PERSON FOR THEIR FORCED LABOR OR
COMMERCIAL SEXUAL EXPLOITATION.
TRAFFICKERS WILL OFTEN USE
VIOLENCE, FRAUDULENT EMPLOYMENT
AGENCIES AND FAKE PROMISES OF
EDUCATION AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES
TO TRICK, COERCE AND DECEIVE
THEIR VICTIMS. THIS HEINOUS
CRIME CAN COME IN MANY FORMS.
VICTIMS OF LABOR TRAFFICKING ARE
OFTEN FORCED TO WORK IN
FACTORIES ON CONSTRUCTION SITES
ARE IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR
WITHOUT PAY OR WITH AN
INADEQUATE SALARY, LIVING IN
FEAR OF VIOLENCE AND OFTEN IN
INHUMANE CONDITIONS. VICTIMS OF
SEX TRAFFICKING FREQUENTLY WORK
IN INDUSTRIES WHERE THEY ARE
COERCED TO PERFORM SEX ACTS FOR
MONEY, SUCH AS ILLICIT MASSAGE
BUSINESS OR FOR ADULT
ENTERTAINMENT. ADDITIONALLY
ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WHO
WAS FORCED OR COARSE TO EXCHANGE
SEX FOR ANYTHING OF VALUE IS
ALSO A VICTIM OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING. TRAFFICKERS EMPLOY
A VARIETY OF CONTROL TACTICS,
MOST COMMONLY, INCLUDING
PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE AND
THREATS, ISOLATION FROM FRIENDS
AND FAMILY AND ECONOMIC ABUSE.
THEY MAKE PROMISES AIMED AT
ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THEIR
TARGET TO IMPOSE CONTROL. AS A
RESULT, VICTIMS BECOME TRAPPED
AND FEAR, LEAVING FOR A MYRIAD
OF REASONS, INCLUDING
PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA, SHAME,
EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT OR PHYSICAL
THREATS TO THEMSELVES OR THEIR
FAMILY. HUMAN TRAFFICKING REALLY
CONFORMS TO THE STEREOTYPICAL
IMAGE OF KIDNAPPING. INSTEAD IT
FREQUENTLY OCCURS THROUGH
DISCRETE NETWORKS AND
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS.
INDIVIDUALS FAMILIES AND
BUSINESSES WHO EXPLOIT OTHERS
OFTEN SEEM LEGITIMATE. IN FACT,
ACCORDING TO THE POLARIS PROJECT
, NONPROFIT, MANY PEOPLE AND
ACTIVE SEX TRUCKING TRAFFICKING
SITUATIONS DO NOT RECOGNIZE
THEMSELVES AS BEING VICTIMS
BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERTLY
GROOMED BY A TRAFFICKER TO
BELIEVE THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO
PARTICIPATE IN COMMERCIAL SEX OR
LABOR. THE STRATEGIC METHODS OF
HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR WHAT MAKES
IT SO DIFFICULT TO TRACK SO WE
MUST RECOGNIZE THAT PEOPLE OF
ALL GENDERS, AGES AND
BACKGROUNDS CAN BECOME VICTIMS
OF THIS CRIME, WHICH OCCURS IN
EVERY REGION OF THE WORLD.
MOREOVER ALL AGES GENDERS AND
BACKGROUNDS CAN BE HUMAN
TRAFFICKERS. WITH THAT WE MUST
ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT PEOPLE WHO
ARE EXPERIENCED TRAFFICKING ARE
OFTEN AMONG THE MOST SOCIALLY
AND ECONOMICALLY VULNERABLE.
MANY SURVIVORS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY RACIAL AND
ETHNIC MINORITIES, INDIGENOUS
POPULATIONS, WOMEN AND GIRLS,
MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY AND MIGRANTS, PEOPLE
WHO ARE MORE EXTREMELY
VULNERABLE TO EXPLOITATION DUE
TO SOCIAL, LEGAL AND CULTURAL
MARGINALIZATION. EVEN IF THEY
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO REPORT
THEIR SITUATION. VICTIMS OF
TRAFFICKING MAY NOT REPORT IT
FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION OR
VIOLENCE. HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS
AN AFFRONT TO HUMAN DIGNITY. AND
AS WE THINK ABOUT THIS HORRIFIC
CRIME IMPACTING PEOPLE LOCALLY
AND GLOBALLY IN OUR OWN
COMMUNITIES, WE MUST REMEMBER
THAT THIS IS THE SURVIVORS
STORY. AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO
LISTEN AND ACT. THAT IS WHY A CR
1 TO 5 EMPHASIZES THE ANTI
TRAFFICKING MOVEMENT AS A
MOVEMENT OF SURVIVORS. AND
STATES THAT HERE IN CALIFORNIA
WE ARE COMMITTED AND PARTNERING
WITH A LEARNING FROM SURVIVORS.
THE MANY ADVOCACY GROUPS WHO
GIVE THEIR INSIGHT INTO POLICY
SOLUTIONS. PROGRAMS LIKE RISING
WORLDWIDE SAFE AND SOUND. A
FIRST IN THE NATION SURVIVOR
CREATED AND LED TRAINING FOR
SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES TEACH
YOUTH EDUCATORS, COMMUNITY
MEMBERS HOW TO IDENTIFY HUMAN
TRAFFICKING, HOW TO PREVENT IT
AND HOW TO STAY SAFE. AND HOW TO
END IT. ONE OF THEIR PROJECTS IS
CREATING BRACELETS. SURVIVORS OF
HUMAN TRAFFICKING WILL CREATE
THESE SAFE AND SOUND BRACELETS.
I'M WORRYING ONE TODAY IN THERE,
HONOR. AND ALL OF YOU HAVE
RECEIVED A POSTER. I HOPE YOU
WILL PUT ON YOUR DOOR
PROCLAIMING JANUARY AS HUMAN
TRAFFICKING MONTH. A C R 125
WILL FURTHER EXPRESSED
CALIFORNIA'S COMMITMENT TO
COMBATING ALL FORMS OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING, SUPPORTING THE
RECOVERY AND EMPOWERMENT OF
VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS,
PROSECUTING OFFENDERS AND
RAISING COMMUNITY AWARENESS. AND
SOLIDARITY WITH SURVIVORS. AND
HUMAN TRAFFICKING LEADERS ON
THIS RESOLUTION. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CO
AUTHORSHIP OF A CR 125. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PELLERIN
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S VÆ VALLAPUDUA
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER MEMBERS. I'M PROUD TO
RISE TODAY, ENJOYING OFF THEIR
OF A C ARE 125 TO RECOGNIZE
JANUARY AS HUMAN TRAFFICKING
AWARENESS MONTH. AND I WANT TO
THANK ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO
JOINED US THIS MORNING OUT OF
THE WEST STEPS. WITH OUR
COALITION OF STAKEHOLDERS IN
RECOGNIZING NOBODY NEEDS TO BE,
UH, CONVINCED ON HOW HORRENDOUS
THIS CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY IS.
WHAT'S IMPERATIVE IS THAT WE
RECOGNIZE THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS
ISSUE AND COLLABORATION IT WILL
NEED BETWEEN STATE AND LOCAL
AGENCIES. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIPS. TO END HUMAN
TRAFFICKING TRAFFICKING ONCE AND
FOR ALL. IT REQUIRES A UNITED
FRONT BECAUSE VICTIMS HMM. BIG
BECAUSE FOR VICTIMS THIS VICIOUS
CYCLE CAN SEEM IMPOSSIBLE TO
ESCAPE FROM. THEY NEED SUPPORT
RESOURCES AND VIABLE PATHWAY TO
ECONOMIC STABILITY AND
OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL PULL
THEM OUT OF THIS. PULLED HIM OUT
OF THIS FOR GOOD. AND CRITICALLY
THE NEED OF EDUCATION. AH
VIGILANT AND AWARE SOCIETY THAT
CAN RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF
DANGER AND PROVIDE THE NEEDED
AND SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED. SO
THIS RESOLUTION AND DECLARATION
OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS
WILL ALWAYS BE A SORT OF A SOUR
ONE THAT WE FIND OURSELVES IN
NEED AND RECOGNIZING THIS, BUT
IT IS ALL MORE THAN IMPORTANT
THAT WE TAKE THIS MESSAGE AND
EXPAND IT BEYOND THESE CHAMBERS
SO THAT WE CAN PUT THE END OF
HUMAN TRAFFICKING. I THANK YOU
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I
VOTE TODAY. THANK YOU, MR V.
VALLAPUDUA ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
DAVIES. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. MEMBERS
TODAY I RISE IN SUPPORT OF A C R
125. HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS NOT
JUST A CRIME. IT'S A HEINOUS ACT
THAT ROBS SOMEONE OF THEIR
FREEDOM AND ABILITY TO MAKE
THEIR OWN DECISIONS.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS AN ISSUE
AND A BUSINESS IS ONLY GROWING.
THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE SELL 49% INCREASE AND
ARRESTS MADE FOR JOHN'S BETWEEN
2011 AND 2021. THIS IS JUST
WRONG. LAST YEAR, WE AS A
COLLECTIVE BODY REACHED A
BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT AND A
TREMENDOUS BILL KNOWN AS SB 14.
WE TRULY PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR
MOUTH IS WHEN IT CAME TO PUTTING
VICTIMS FIRST AS WE HONOR
NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING
AWARENESS MONTH, I HOPE AS WE
ARE ALL FINALIZING OUR
LEGISLATOR PACKAGES AND ARE
CONSIDERING BILLS ON THIS ISSUE
AREA. WE TRULY PUT VICTIMS FIRST
AND GO AFTER THE JOHNS AND THE
PINS DEPRAVED, THEIR VICTIMS FOR
SEXUAL AND MONETARY PURPOSES.
LET'S SHOW THE REST OF NATION,
CALIFORNIA WILL BRING DOWN THE
HAMMER WHEN IT COMES TO THESE
ABUSERS. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER,
AND I ASKED FOR AN I VOTE. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S DAVIES
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S REYES, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. AND I THANK MY
COLLEAGUE. I STAND IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF A CR 125. LAST WEEK,
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SPEAKING
ON A PANEL WITH OUR POLICE CHIEF
AND A NUMBER OF OTHER ADVOCATES.
AND WHAT WAS MOST INTERESTING IS
THE STATISTICS THAT WERE
PROVIDED AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE
THOSE WITH YOU ALL. DID YOU
KNOW? HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS AMONG
THE WORLD'S FASTEST GROWING
CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES AND IS
ESTIMATED TO BE A $150 BILLION A
YEAR GLOBAL INDUSTRY. DID YOU
KNOW THE UNITED STATES IS WIDELY
REGARDED AS A DESTINATION
COUNTRY FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
FEDERAL REPORTS HAVE ESTIMATED
THAT 14,500 TO 17,500 VICTIMS
ARE TRAFFICKED INTO THE UNITED
STATES ANNUALLY. ACCORDING TO
THE NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING
HOTLINE. CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF
THE LARGEST SITES OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING IN THE UNITED
STATES. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE MAKE
UP ONLY 1.1% OF THE UNITED
STATES POPULATION. YET THEY
ACCOUNT FOR NEARLY 25% OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING VICTIMS. 60% OF
YOUTH WHO WERE SEX TRAFFICKED
HAD INVOLVEMENT IN THE FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM. IN THE UNITED
STATES. 20% OF HOMELESS YOUTH
ARE LGBT QUÊ. AND 58% OF THEM
ARE EXPLOITED THROUGH SEX
TRAFFICKING. AND AS A PUBLIC
SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT, THE
NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING
HOTLINE IS 188837. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S

CIVIC PARTICIPATION, OPENING THE
PIPELINE TO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
AND FUTURE ELECTED OFFICE TO
INCLUDE MORE DIVERSE AND
INCLUSIVE VARIETY OF
CALIFORNIANS. AMENDMENTS HAVE
BEEN HAVE INCLUDED THE SUNSET OF

MY COMMITMENT THAT I WILL BE
ALIGNING A B 817 WITH ALL THE
TELECONFERENCING REQUIREMENTS
ESTABLISHED LAST YEAR IN SENATE
BILL 544. THAT APPLIED TO STATE
ADVISORY BODIES IN THE NEXT
HOUSE. MAYBE 817 ACHIEVES THIS
BY ALLOWING NON DECISION MAKING
ADVISORY ONLY BODIES AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL TO PARTICIPATE
REMOTELY WHILE MAINTAINING
PUBLIC ACCESS AND TRANSPARENCY
IN GOVERNANCE THROUGH REQUIRING
THE USE OF TWO WAY AUDIO VISUAL
TECHNOLOGY. FOR ALL MEETINGS,
UTILIZING THIS AUTHORITY. THE
GOAL IS TO BRING PARITY AMONG
THE NEW STATE STANDARDS FOR
ADVISORY BODIES AND FOR NON
DECISION MAKING ADVISORY BODIES.
A B 817 IS AN EQUITY AND
DIVERSITY MEASURE THAT WOULD
ENHANCE ATTENDANCE. INCREASED
TRANSPARENCY REDUCE COSTS.
FASTER BETTER ATTENDANCE AT
MEETINGS AND ACCOMMODATE
DISPROPORTIONATE HEALTH AND
SAFETY CHALLENGES FOR THOSE WITH
PHYSICAL OR ECONOMIC
LIMITATIONS. INCLUDING SENIORS,
PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES,
SINGLE PARENTS AND OR CARETAKERS

COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS

THANK YOU, SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I
RISE TODAY WITH A HEAVY HEART TO
ASK THAT WE ADJOURN IN THE
MEMORY OF LOI EDWARDS OF
OAKLAND. LLOYD EDWARDS WAS A
PIONEER, BREAKING THE COLOR LINE
AS A PERSON, A MIXED BLACK AND
NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTRY AND
OPENING DOORS TO HELP BUILD A
DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE
CALIFORNIA. HE CO FOUNDED THE
LOU EDWARDS GROUP WITH HIS WIFE,
CATHERINE LIU, WHO IS IN THE
GALLERY TODAY. HE PREFERRED TO
WORK BEHIND THE SCENES, BRINGING
HIS MEDIA SAVVY TO THE
SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION OF
CALIFORNIA BALLOT MEASURES
GENERATING OVER $42 BILLION IN
REVENUE FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. HIS WORK IS
ONE OF THE REASONS I SIT AS AN
ASSEMBLY WOMAN TODAY. HE BEGAN
HIS CAREER AS A BAY AREA
BROADCASTER, WRITER AND PRODUCER
, BREAKING THE COLOR BARRIER AT
KSFO RADIO IN SAN FRANCISCO,
COVERING LOCAL AND STATE
POLITICS. HE WENT ON TO OWN TO
MEDIA COMPANIES. QUÊ MPX RADIO
IN SAN FRANCISCO AND K F O X IN
SEATTLE. HE FOUNDED AND SERVED
AS CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF
FIRST ENTERPRISE, THE FIRST
BLACK OWNED INDEPENDENT BANK IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. AND SERVED
ON THE BOARD THAT CALIFORNIA
BANKERS ASSOCIATION LLOYD
BELIEVED IN GIVING BACK TO THE
COMMUNITY SERVING ON THE OAKLAND
ALAMEDA COUNTY COLISEUM BOARD,
THE BOARD OF KQED TELEVISION AND
AS CHAIRMAN OF KQED FM RADIO. HE
WAS REPEATEDLY HONORED FOR HIS
YEARS OF SERVICE BY THE CITY OF
OAKLAND, ALAMEDA COUNTY AND THE
STATE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE FOR
HIS MANY YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE
EAST BAY. HIS LEGACY IS NOT JUST
ABOUT HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. IT IS
ALSO ABOUT THE EXAMPLE, HE SAID,
AND HIS MENTORSHIP AND LIFTING
UP THOSE AROUND HIM. TODAY WE
REMEMBER LLOYD EDWARDS AS A MAN
WHO WAS DEVOTED TO THE LOVE OF
HIS LIFE. WITH CATHERINE AND
FAMILY BROKE BARRIERS THAT
NEEDED TO BE BROKEN AND
FAITHFULLY SERVED. THE OAKLAND
AREA COMMUNITY AND THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. IT WAS IT WAS AN
HONOR TO KNOW AND WORK WITH HIM.
HE WAS A DEAR FRIEND AND WILL BE
MISSED BY MANY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ORTEGA.
SOME REMEMBER PAPIN, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR ADJOURNMENT.
MEMORY THANK YOU SO MUCH. MR
SPEAKER. IT'S MY HONOR TO JOIN
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ORTEGA AND
HONORING AND MEMORIALIZING LLOYD
EDWARDS, A TRUE RENAISSANCE MAN,
A LIFELONG COMMITTED COMMUNITY
BOOSTER AND ASTUTE
BUSINESSPERSON AND AN AMAZING
MENTOR. AND AS SOMEONE MEMBER,
ORTEGA MENTIONED TRAILBLAZER
LLOYD EDWARDS HAS IMPACTED MANY
LIVES AND COMMUNITIES, NOT THE
LEAST OF WHICH IS MINE. UM,
BECAUSE OF MY WORK WITH THE LOU
EDWARDS GROUP, A POLITICAL
CONSULTING GROUP WHO HAVE RELIED
ON IN EVERY ELECTION I'VE EVER
PARTICIPATED IN, AND I'VE COME
IN FIRST IN EVERY ELECTION I'VE
EVER PARTICIPATED IN. SO THAT
OUGHT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING
ABOUT THEIR UM, THEIR EXPERTISE.
CERTAINLY, UM. AND I WILL SAY
THAT LLOYD IMPACTED THE LIVES OF
SO MANY AND SO MANY, I'M SURE HE
PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN BEEN
AWARE OF HAVING HAD A DIVERSE
CAREER IN MEDIA COMMUNITY
AFFAIRS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
HE BROKE NUMEROUS RACIAL
BARRIERS AS A PERSON OF MIXED
BLACK AND NATIVE AMERICAN
ANCESTRY AND HISTORY AND I WANT
TO HIGHLIGHT HIS FOUNDING OF THE
FIRST BLACK OWNED BANK BECAUSE
WE TALK A LOT ABOUT GENERATIONAL
WEALTH AND THE FACT THAT HE HAD
THE FISCAL SAVVY TO RECOGNIZE
THE IMPORT OF STARTING A BANK
CANNOT BE UNDERSCORED WHEN WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT PROMOTING
GENERATIONAL WEALTH. HE SHOULD
BE HONORED IN PERPETUITY IN MY
MIND FOR HIS EFFORTS IN THAT
REGARD, UM, SO IT'S BEEN A
PRIVILEGE TO HAVE WORKED WITH
THE LOU EDWARDS GROUP, AND I AM
JUST SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE LLOYD
EDWARDS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE ARE ALL
BETTER FOR HIS LIFELONG
COMMITMENT TO SERVICE. AND HIS
TRAILBLAZING LEGACY. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

EAST BAY COMMUNITY WHO BROKE
NUMEROUS RACIAL BARRIERS DURING
HIS DECADES OF WORK AND MEDIA
AND CIVIC LIFE AND MORE AND AS A
PERSON OF MIXED BLACK AND NATIVE
ANCESTRY, NATIVE AMERICAN
ANCESTRY. HE BROKE CEILINGS OPEN
DOORS FOR OTHERS IN INDUSTRIES
THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH. IT
WAS JUST THE FACT THAT HE
EXISTED AS A LEADER IN THE
COMMUNITY THAT DEMONSTRATED TO
OTHER PEOPLE. IF YOU SEE IT, YOU
CAN BE IT. UM AND I THINK THAT
WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF HIS
LEGACY. YOU KNOW, OAKLAND HAS
SUCH A RICH CULTURAL FABRIC. UH
AND HE WAS REALLY PIVOTAL IN
HELPING TO CREATE THAT AND
FASTER THAT AND IT'S SUCH AN
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY
IN THE EAST BAY. MUCH HAS BEEN
SAID ABOUT THE WORK THAT HE HAS
DONE SO I DON'T WANT TO BE
REPETITIVE. BUT I WAS TALKING TO
A FRIEND OF MINE, ZACH
WASSERMAN, WHO IS A LONGTIME
OAKLAND CIVIC LEADER AND HE SAID
, I REMEMBER LLOYD EDWARDS FROM
BOTH HIS TIME ON THE OAKLAND
CHAMBER BOARD AND HIS CIVIC
LEADERSHIP THROUGH THE BANK OF
OAKLAND. HE ALWAYS BROUGHT A
GENTLE WISDOM TO DISCUSSIONS. I
JUST LOVE THAT TERM, GENTLE
WISDOM. THAT TO ME REALLY
DEMONSTRATES TRUE LEADERSHIP
ABOUT WHO YOU ARE. HE HAD A
SMILE THAT MADE CONNECTIONS AND
A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE. HE WAS A
QUIET GIANT AND BRINGING BLACK
LEADERSHIP TO THE OAKLAND
BUSINESS COMMUNITY. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT WE
