The state of California needs rent control! No more slumlords getting away with over charging for outdated rental units.
Prop 21 amends state law to allow local governments to establish rent control on residential properties over 15 years old. Allows local limits on annual rent increases to differ from current statewide limit. Allows rent increases in rent-controlled properties of up to 15 percent over three years at start of new tenancy (above any increase allowed by local ordinance). Exempts individuals who own no more than two homes from new rent-control policies. In accordance with California law, prohibits rent control from violating landlords’ right to fair financial return. - Source: BallotPedia
California is one of three states that require persons convicted of felonies to complete their prison and parole sentences before regaining the right to vote.
As of 2020, 19 states allowed people convicted of felonies, but who were on parole, to vote. Seventeen of these states did not allow people to vote while imprisoned. Two—Maine and Vermont—allow people who are imprisoned to vote.
The remaining 28 states had additional disqualifications—compared to California—for people convicted of felonies. Eighteen disqualified people who were imprisoned, on parole, or on probation. Seven prohibited people convicted of certain felonies from ever regaining the right to vote. In Iowa, Kentucky, and Virginia, people convicted of felonies never regain the right to vote, although their governors can issue orders to restore voting rights to individuals or groups - Source: BallotPedia
Prop 16 summary: Permits government decision-making policies to consider race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin to address diversity by repealing article I, section 31, of the California Constitution, which was added by Proposition 209 in 1996.
Proposition 209 generally prohibits state and local governments from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, individuals or groups on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, education, or contracting.
Does not alter other state and federal laws guaranteeing equal protection and prohibiting unlawful discrimination.

Sorry To Bother You
This weeks film highlight is “Sorry to Bother You”. A film that portrays the ways in which Black folx are force to code switch in professional spaces.
“When Black people can be killed for simply being themselves, code-switching presents a form of self-protection.
Instead, we should be teaching Black children – and all children from communities unconstrained by standard English – to love their most natural forms of expression. Rather than criticizing code-switching, we should criticize the conditions under which it occurs. After all, for Black people, loving ourselves means loving the way we express ourselves to each other – cool in a way only Black people can be cool.” - AT McWilliams, The Guardian, 2018
