🚨 BREAKING: We’ve officially introduced
#AB2723 with California Assemblymember
@AsmTangipa — legislation focused exclusively on American Freedmen, the descendants of those enslaved and emancipated from U.S. chattel slavery.
AB 2723 establishes the California American Freedmen Affairs Division within the Secretary of State’s office, building durable genealogy and administrative infrastructure for American Freedmen residents across the state.
Clear documentation makes targeted resources possible — without confusion, delay, or duplication.
Our bill protects personal information, strictly prohibits involvement in law enforcement activity, and requires ongoing reporting and independent audits.
Importantly, our bill also formally recognizes this population as foundational to both American and California history and ensures that documentation and governance systems reflect that reality.
No study. No delay. No enforcement.
