On November 2020 election, California voters will decide Prop 16, a historical vote that can put affirmative action back to the state! Current California law prevents our elected leaders from taking targeted action to fight discrimination based on race and gender.
Voting “Yes” on Proposition 16 would reverse the ban on equal opportunity policies like affirmative action so that elected leaders can design programs that provide good jobs, better wages, and access to great schools for all Californians. California is one of the most diverse states in the country, immigrants, people of color communities should come and stand together to support the affirmative action vote that will reflect the strength of our diversity.
