AB 953 Demonstration: California Capitol Building
Activists have been standing vigil around the clock at California's Capitol building in Sacramento for over a week. The demonstration aims to urge Governor Jerry Brown to sign the bill, AB 953, into law. The bill would expand the definition of racial profiling and set protocol in place to help monitor and evaluate police interactions. The Governor has been resistant even though the bill has already passed through the legislature and proposes to enact recommendations provided by the federal government.
The efforts of activists, organizers, and community members paid off when Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 953 on the morning of Saturday, October 3rd.
