0:17

From KQED. Good

0:19

morning. This is the California Report. I'm

0:21

Madi Bolaño since San Francisco, and here

0:24

are your state headlines. A

0:26

bill requiring an official apology for

0:28

the role of California state government

0:30

in advancing slavery is moving closer

0:33

to passage after approval in the

0:35

state assembly. The apology was a

0:37

key recommendation from a task force

0:39

that spent years studying ideas for

0:41

reparations for black Californians. Assemblymember

0:44

Reggie Jones Sawyer, a Democrat from

0:46

Los Angeles, said that early state

0:48

laws allowed enslavers to capture

0:51

black Californians and re-enslave them

0:53

in the South. Even

0:55

though our state entered the union as a

0:57

free state, every branch of government

0:59

has had a hand in perpetrating the oppression

1:01

of black folks. The bill now

1:03

heads to the Senate for approval, and

1:06

advocates for a large self-governed homeless

1:08

encampment in Sacramento are trying to

1:10

stop the city from closing it.

1:12

Cap Radio's Chris Nichols explains how

1:14

they're pushing back. Who are

1:17

we? Camp Resolution! What do we want?

1:20

House it! Residents of Camp

1:22

Resolution and their supporters marched to

1:24

Sacramento City Hall this week. They

1:27

demanded the city drop its plans

1:29

to evict people from the tight-knit

1:31

community. One year ago,

1:33

the city formally recognized the camp.

1:35

It even signed a first-of-its-kind lease,

1:38

allowing residents to run the camp

1:40

on city property. Now,

1:42

the city wants the 50 or so

1:44

residents out. California Homeless Union Attorney Anthony

1:46

Prince. Camp Resolution is a beacon of

1:48

struggle, a beacon of hope, a beacon

1:50

of organization. And if they think they're

1:53

going to shut down that light, that

1:55

bright light of hope, struggle, and organization,

1:57

they got another thing coming. soil

2:00

a camp resolution is contaminated

2:02

and that residents have refused

2:04

an alternate site. But

2:07

camp supporters point to a line

2:09

in the lease saying the agreement

2:11

would be renewed until all residents

2:13

have permanent housing. Here's resident Donald

2:15

Cooper. What we need is housing.

2:18

Fair housing, affordable housing. Prince, the

2:20

homeless union attorney, filed a lawsuit

2:22

on behalf of the camp this

2:24

week saying the city has

2:27

no grounds to terminate the lease.
