BOWER: Good afternoon, than you for the 11 accommodation on the time. My name‟s Hugh Bower and I‟m 12 here, today, representing the Pasadena Mayor, Bill Bogard. 13 I‟ve submitted a letter to the Commission today, on the 14 Mayor‟ behalf, and would like to take a brief moment to 15 address the Commission directly. 16 Mayor Bogard is serving his fourth four-year term 17 as Pasadena‟s first directly elected mayor, and given 18 Mayor Bogard‟s experience it lends him a unique 19 perspective on the operation of local government and the 20 importance of the relationship between a city and elected 21 representatives at other levels of government. 22 So, the Mayor would like to convey that the 23 Commission‟s current tentative boundaries for the Assembly 24 district that includes Pasadena, Altadena, South Pasadena 25 recognizes the close ethnic, social, economic, educational CALIFORNIA REPORTING, LLC 173 52 Longwood Drive, San Rafael, CA 94901 (415) 457-4417 1 and cultural ties that bind these three communities. This 2 approach appears optimal for the area, keeping in mind the 3 goal of strengthening the democratic process. 4 As you consider options, please continue to 5 recognize, as does the tentative configuration, the 6 importance and the benefits of keeping these three 7 communities together. 8 The Commission -- we recognize the Commission has 9 difficult choices to make and we‟re convinced that the 10 current proposal not only complies with redistricting 11 guidelines, but protects the public interests in the 12 region. 13 And thank you and I think I‟d be considered a 14 friend. 15 CHAIRPERSON ANCHETA: Great, thank you. Thank 16 you. 17 Okay, so before we get into continuing with our 18 districts, a couple things. First of all, Ms. MACDONALD 19 and I were conferring earlier just about trying to make 20 sure we do stay on schedule. And what I‟ve asked her to 21 do is put together sort of an optimal order of districts 22 and then what we‟re going to do is impose some time limits 23 based on regions. 24 Now, again, we are going to try to accommodate 25 what we know are going to be harder districts to go CALIFORNIA REPORTING, LLC 174 52 Longwood Drive, San Rafael, CA 94901 (415) 457-4417 1 through, so we‟re certainly not going to short change 2 that. 3 As you can tell from our last discussion, although 4 we did spend a fair amount of time on the 5 Coachella/Imperial district, we‟re moving at a pretty good 6 clip on most of the districts. So, hopefully, that will 7 be the case for a large number of districts. 8 But we will have to, at some point, just given the 9 limits of time try to stay within the structure. And Ms. 10 MACDONALD and I will try to formalize that a little bit 11 later this afternoon. 12 Commissioner DiGuilio? 13 COMMISSIONER DI GUILIO: Yeah, I just had a quick 14 question. I know Mr. Wilcox had asked me at lunch, I just 15 had a question for Alex about -- that‟s coming up on the 16 Statewide Database is Congressional So Cal option two and 17 three. Is there actually a one or is there only going to 18 be just two and three? 19 MS. WOODS: I did not get to option one. So, 20 those -- 21 COMMISSIONER DI GUILIO: So, it‟s just going to be 22 two and three? 23 MS. WOODS: Those options are based on the options 24 that Nicole created for Los Angeles. So, option two is 25 using the boundaries from Los Angeles option two and CALIFORNIA REPORTING, LLC 175 52 Longwood Drive, San Rafael, CA 94901 (415) 457-4417 1 option three is using the boundaries from Los Angeles 2 option three. 3 COMMISSIONER DI GUILIO: Okay, so just we 4 shouldn‟t expect -- I think that was to clarify some 5 questions. So, right now there‟s no Congressional So Cal 6 option one, we‟re just working from the two and three, 7 which are still a lot of options. 8 MS. WOODS: Correct. Thank you. 9 COMMISSIONER DI GUILIO: Uh-huh. 10 CHAIRPERSON ANCHETA: Okay, Commissioner Filkins 11 Webber and then Blanco? 12 COMMISSIONER FILKINS WEBBER: In that regard, Ms. 13 Woods, I notice that in option two and option three there 14 isn‟t any change to the Congressional as to region two, so 15 you didn‟t anticipate that any other version, this would 16 still be stable because I don‟t think there was any 17 changes? 18 MS. WOODS: So, the only differences between 19 region -- or option two and option three is in Orange 20 County. 21 COMMISSIONER FILKINS WEBBER: Thank you. 22 MS. WOODS: The rest of the counties are the same. 23 COMMISSIONER FILKINS WEBBER: Thank you. 24 CHAIRPERSON ANCHETA: And we‟ll address those as 25 we get to them. CALIFORNIA REPORTING, LLC 176 52 Longwood Drive, San Rafael, CA 94901 (415) 457-4417 1 Commissioner Blanco? 2 COMMISSIONER BLANCO: No, I didn‟t have anything. 3 CHAIRPERSON ANCHETA: Okay. Okay, I‟m not sure if 4 Commissioner Forbes is -- but what I wanted to do, also, 5 just because we did have a few questions left over from 6 the session with Mr. Brown is to maybe spend about maybe 7 ten minutes or so, if there‟s any remaining questions, and 8 particularly -- well, regarding the memo. 9 As a reminder, we will be going into closed 10 session with Mr. Brown and Dr. Barreto, but that should be 11 limited to, you know, potential litigation issues. So, in 12 order to maintain the spirit of Bagley-Keene we want to 13 make sure that if it‟s a more general question, that it be 14 addressed in open session. 15 But we do want to get back to the line drawing so 16 if there are -- I think Commissioner Parvenu may have had 17 a question from earlier? 18 COMMISSIONER PARVENU: And Mr. Forbes, too, 19 Commissioner Forbes, but I‟ll begin. 20 Getting back to the memorandum, on page 1 it 21 stated in the second paragraph, “Section 2 likely requires 22 that the Commission creates several Latino majority 23 districts in Los Angeles County.” 24 It doesn‟t say it‟s absolutely required to. 25 What‟s missing here for me, or what‟s absent is a CALIFORNIA REPORTING, LLC 177 52 Longwood Drive, San Rafael, CA 94901 (415) 457-4417 1 discussion or framework within background of the extent of 2 cooperation that existed between Latino organizations and 3 African American organizations, which is evidenced by the 4 MALDEF maps, for example, which respects certain districts 5 to the west that were traditionally represented by African 6 American candidates.

  • I Am Submitting
    Citizens Redistricting Commission 901 P Street, Suite 154-A Sacramento, CA 95814 June 28, 2011 Dear Commission: I am submitting this written comment requesting that the California Citizens Redistricting Commission [hereinafter cited as Commission] modify its first draft for the State Senate Districts located within certain counties subject to the Section 5 preclearance requirement of the federal Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1973c (Monterey, Kings and Merced) and adjoining counties.1 At issue are the areas included within current Senate District 12, 15 and 16. The proposed Senate Districts may not meet the Section 5 and Section 2, 42 U.S.C. § 1973, standards of the federal Voting Rights Act. Under Section 5, a covered jurisdiction has the statutory duty to submit all changes affecting voting, including redistricting plans,2 and secure approval from the federal government. There are two procedures available to secure this approval. The submitting jurisdiction has the choice of pursuing one or the other and can also pursue both simultaneously. Under the first procedure, the covered jurisdiction can submit the proposed voting change to the United States Attorney General for approval or administrative preclearance. Under the second procedure, the covered jurisdiction can file an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking judicial preclearance. Under either procedure, the submitting jurisdiction has the statutory duty to demonstrate that the proposed change affecting voting does not have a discriminatory effect on minority voting strength and was not adopted pursuant to a discriminatory intent. With respect to the discriminatory effect prong of Section 5, the covered jurisdiction must prove that the proposed voting change does not result in a retrogression, or a worsening, of minority voting strength.

  • The Year 1960
    mike davis THE YEAR 1960 dward thompson famously characterized the 1950s as the ‘apathetic decade’ when people ‘looked to private solutions to public evils’. ‘Private ambitions’, he wrote, ‘have displaced social aspirations. And people have come to feel their griev- Eances as personal to themselves, and, similarly, the grievances of other people are felt to be the affair of other people. If a connection between the two is made, people tend to feel—in the prevailing apathy—that they are impotent to effect any change.’1 The year 1960 will always be remem- bered for the birth of a new social consciousness that repudiated this culture of moral apathy fed by resigned powerlessness. ‘Our political task’, wrote the veteran pacifist A. J. Muste at that time, ‘is precisely, in Martin Buber’s magnificent formulation, “to drive the ploughshare of the normative principle into the hard soil of political reality”.’ The method was direct action—nonviolent and determined. First behind the plough were Black students in the South, whose move- ment as it spread to a hundred cities and campuses would name itself the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (sncc). In North Carolina, the Greensboro lunch-counter February sit-ins began as quiet protests but soon became thunderclaps heralding the arrival of a new, uncom- promising generation on the frontline of the battle against segregation. The continuing eruption of student protest across the South reinvigor- ated the wounded movement led by Martin Luther King and was echoed in the North by picket lines, boycotts and the growth of the Congress of Racial Equality (core).2 Separately the Nation of Islam grew rapidly, and the powerful voice of Malcolm X began to be heard across the country.

As part of this process, the subcommittee sought to verify facts and clarify folklore surrounding the events of the eminent domain proceedings in Manhattan Beach in the 1920s. We compared the theses of Robert L. Brigham and Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson, as well as Dr. Jefferson’s book, “Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era” with other reports from that time, specifically newspaper articles and government records. This is by no means a final draft. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and a flood at the Los Angeles Hall of Records, we were unable to obtain documentation needed to clarify many claims.

As such, United States' history was largely the study of Americans' westward advance, and became the supposed critical factor in their political and social development. In reference to
