CA awaits approval on a Bill that focuses on missing Black youth and women, through an Ebony Alert system.

California State Senator Steven Bradford has proposed a bill that could help bring home black youth and young women up to the age of 25. The bill, SB 673, seeks to create the Ebony Alert, a safety alert that could bring attention to the epidemic of missing black women and girls.

The bill was introduced in March of this year and has since gained approval from state legislation. It has been supported by the California Hawaii State Conference of the NAACP, who called the increased number of missing black women and girls an “epidemic”. Senator Bradford also expressed the need for the bill, highlighting the need for the necessary “resources and attention” to bring black missing women and children back home safely.

Now, the bill is in the hands of Governor Gavin Newsom, who must sign it into law by October 14. So far, a spokesperson from Governor Newsom's office has released a statement that reads, “We don’t typically comment on pending legislation, and each bill will be evaluated on its merits.”

Senator Bradford has expressed his pride and excitement on social media, noting that the bill has passed with bipartisan support. He will now be awaiting a decision from the Governor to make the groundbreaking law official.

The Ebony Alert bill has the potential to save lives and bring attention to a much-needed issue. We will have to wait and see what the Governor's decision will be, but we can only hope that the bill will be signed into law.
