<p>On Wednesday, California Governor <a class=" xil3i" tabindex="0" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/gavinnewsom/">#GavinNewsom</a> signed a law that will allow the state to pay slavery reparations of some kind to Black Californians, especially those who are descendants of slaves.</p>
<p>While the law does not state a specific payment method or amount, it allows for a nine-member task force to assemble and make recommendations on how reparations would be provided, such as through compensation or restitution.</p>
<p>Along with possible reparations, the task force will be allowed to make recommendations on eliminating state laws and policies that perpetuate discrimination and on issuing a formal apology “for the perpetration of gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity on African slaves and their descendants,” according to <a class="notranslate" tabindex="0" href="https://www.instagram.com/sacramentobee/">@sacramentobee</a>.</p>
<p>The task force will also be asked to compile a report on the impact that slavery and systemic racism has impacted African-Americans.</p>
<p><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/reparations-proposal-for-african-americans-passes-the-california-assembly-heads-to-senate/">As previously stated</a>, Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Black woman from San Diego responsible for the proposal, said the study would reiterate California’s history of abetting slavery, even as it joined the union as a “free state” in 1850. “The discriminatory practices of the past echo into the everyday lives of today’s Californians,” said Weber, who leads the Legislative Black Caucus.</p>
<p>Governor Gavin Newsom passed another law, on Wednesday. With over 3,000 emails and a relentless campaign, <a class=" xil3i" tabindex="0" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/jayz/">#JayZ</a> and <a class=" xil3i" tabindex="0" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/meekmill/">#MeekMill</a>’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks to REFORM Alliance, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new bill—AB 1950–into law that has a major impact on the state’s probation system.</p>
<p>The newly signed law limits adult probation sentences to a maximum of 1 year for misdemeanor, and 2 years for felony offenses, according to <a class="notranslate" tabindex="0" href="https://www.instagram.com/tmztv/">@tmztv</a>.</p>
<p>“I want to thank Governor Newsom for his leadership in signing AB 1950, the most transformative probation bill in this country to date,” JAY-Z said in a statement. “This is a first step that I hope introduces a wave of much needed change throughout the country,&#8221; Jay-Z stated.</p>
<p>Roomies, what do you think about these new laws?</p>
