Tomorrow (September 13, 2016) at CSU, Bakersfield the California State Assembly Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color will hold a legislative hearing between 1 - 3 pm at the Walter S. Stiern library (pictured below).

The rationale for the hearing is pretty simple. With California fast becoming a “minority” dominant state, the California state legislature determined they need to take a look at some of the challenges that we see with Latinos and Blacks in California, especially since they are incarcerated at a disproportionate rate in California. The Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color (BMOC) has been tasked with looking at these challenges.
The committee has held hearings across the state over the past 6 years and, as I understand it, this is the first hearing on the status of BMOC they are holding in California's Central Valley. Assemblymember Rob Bonta (18th AD) is co-chairing the committee this year with Reginald B. Jones-Sawyer, Sr. (59th AD). Assemblymember Rudy Salas is scheduled to be in attendance as well.
