My #SB1348 will create a designation recognizing colleges & universities in CA that stand out for their commitments to serving Black students who are historically underrepresented on campuses. CA's "Black-Serving Institutions" will be a welcoming signal for prospective students.

I joined @ACLU_CalAction at the “State of Black Education CA Report Card.” 70 yrs after Brown v Board of Education, CA has declining enrollment & segregated schools. But I'm proud to see so many advocates, students, parents & educators working to close the opportunity gap.

Magical day at @LASchools ArtsFest! The #YouthLibertySquad received an award for the district for their arts advocacy and #ArtsJustice over the years. Students gifted @NickMelvoinBD4 art in appreciation for his support of arts and mental health in the district.
What a beautiful day of art and music on a beautiful day in Los Angeles! It was such a joy to see so many expressions of our students' brilliance at LAUSD's #ArtsFest 🎨🎶💃
Go Lindsey!
Decades of research demonstrate that minor interactions with law enforcement or the criminal legal systems can cause long-term harm to young people.
