Dear John --

Last weekend’s SOUL TALK, hosted with the California Democratic Party (CDP) African American caucus and attended by leaders, organizers, and community members from across California, was truly honest, genuine and at times, heartbreaking.

Over the course of the two hours, we listened, learned, chatted, and celebrated the Black leaders across our state who are on the frontlines of the fight against systemic racism, police brutality, and a never-ending stream of tragedy.

Filmmakers, organizers, psychologists, lawmakers and elected officials all shared their reactions to the killing of George Floyd and to this moment in history.

It was a powerful discussion, and we’ll be having more of them in the coming months, alongside a commitment to further integrating racial justice and anti-racism into every element of the California Democratic Party.
