The California legislature has now voted to strike these words from our state
constitution:

“The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.”

I’m speechless.
If you want to prevent this from being ratified by voters in November, San Diego Asian Americans for Equality is leading the fundraising campaign for the coalition opposing #ACA5.

Yes, this is real.

Assembly Constitutional Amendment 5 (“ACA5”) has only one clause: delete Section 31 from the California state constitution.

This is an example of the kind of policy, upheld by federal courts despite the equal protection clause of the federal constitution, that ACA5 is intended to allow and that we want to prevent happening in California: https://twitter.com/SteveMillerOC/status/1270941968294535168?s=20
