Assemblywoman Shirley Weber speaks at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., on June 10, 2020. While in the Assembly Weber authored legislation creating the first-in-the-nation task force in California to study and recommend reparations for African Americans. California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022, that would have granted more time for the reparations task force to complete its work at at Weber's request. The Coalition for a Just and Equitable California and other organizations sent a letter to Newsom saying the extension would send a demoralizing message to African Americans waiting for restitution.
