The Legislative Black Caucus (LBC) will host the first in a series of Town Hall meetings to convene African-Americans throughout California to listen to the issues important in each region. Also in attendance will be the Chair of the Legislative Black Caucus, Assemblymember Mervyn Dymally.

It all begins tonight February 9th at 6:00 p.m. at the Behavioral Health Resource Center, 850 East Foothill Boulevard, Rialto from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

There are only 6 African-Americans in the state Legislature and all of them are from Los Angeles County. Karen Bass, Vice-Chair of the LBC, Assemblymember of the 47th district, and the only Black female in the State Legislature explained “we are launching a statewide effort to make sure African Americans participate in developing a public policy agenda.”

The LBC will develop a statewide initiative and a report called “The State of Black California.” Future Town Hall meetings will take place in the regions of the largest concentrations of African Americans including Sacramento, The Bay Area, San Diego and Los Angeles.
