SB 437 became law last year, requiring CSU to study genealogy verification for reparations for Black Americans descended from U.S. chattel slavery.
The October 1 deadline came and went with no report. But thanks to pressure from @cjecofficial ,CSU finally released a status update.
They’ve selected Sacramento State, Cal State Long Beach, and San Diego State to conduct the research, with Sacramento State leading.
Let’s be clear: We didn’t believe another study was necessary in the first place. But if you’re going to do it, GET IT DONE!
LEAP, CJEC, and our coalition partners will be watching every step. We’re not letting CSU off the hook. Our community has waited long enough. No more delays!

Ladies & Gentlemen,
FINALLY, here is the #SB437 CSU Study Report that was due on 10/1.
Tl;dr Summary:
"No research projects have been completed, and no findings or recommendations are available at this time." 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

Our 2026 Candidate Forum was an overwhelming success! Thank you to everyone who came out and participated!
As American Freedmen, we must be intentional about vetting candidates, asking tough questions, and holding them accountable. Our votes cannot be taken for granted. We need to know where candidates stand on issues that directly impact our community, especially lineage-based reparations, and whether they have a real agenda to address our needs.
This is why forums like these matter. Political engagement is about more than showing up on Election Day. It’s about making sure those seeking to represent us understand our history, our priorities, and our expectations.
Special thanks to our co-sponsors, @cjecofficial, @CABWHP, and @CalMatters, for helping make this event a success!

Since Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson are in the news again, their great grandson was Frederick Madison Roberts, who was the 1st Black person elected to the California State Legislature. He also introduced legislation that established UCLA.

President Trump needs to understand that Reparations isn’t proof that we hate America—it’s proof we love it enough to seek justice &healing. My faith isn’t in Trump though; it’s in God. Justice will come. America’s choice is whether to pursue it in a way that heals the nation.

Oakland, we’re coming back! 🌱
Join us Saturday October 10 for another free, hands-on genealogy and family history workshop about discovering where we come from and what our lineage means for where we’re going.
Come explore your family history, begin or grow your family tree, and learn how your lineage connects to Reparations, health, civic action, and building power in our communities.
And the workshop is just the beginning!
Afterwards, you're invited to continue with us into a free 6-week Reparations training journey where we learn more about Reparations and reparative justice, how government and policy work, and — most importantly — put that learning into action in our communities.
All while you continue discovering your family history.
Whether you know a lot about your lineage and Reparations, or are just getting started, there’s a place for you.
Know your lineage. Build your power. ✊🏿
Reserve your spot today! 👇🏿

10 of the first 12 US Presidents were slaveholders.
Lincoln didn’t believe in Emancipation.
Johnson didn’t believe in Civil Rights.
Trump doesn’t believe in Reparations…and that doesn’t change a thing.
We will not be deterred.
A Debt Is Owed. ✊🏾💪🏾🇺🇸
