Bill > SCR89

This joint resolution affirms the California Legislature's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), a long-standing movement rooted in America's founding principles and civil rights history. The resolution emphasizes that DEI is essential for achieving the American Dream by promoting equal access to opportunities, fostering respect and belonging, and dismantling systemic inequities that have historically disadvantaged communities of color, indigenous peoples, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. It encourages local, state, and federal policymakers, educational institutions, and workplaces to adopt DEI principles that remove barriers and provide equitable opportunities while protecting freedom of expression. The resolution comes in response to recent attempts to prohibit DEI practices, which the legislators argue undermines civil rights progress and contradicts core democratic values. By passing this resolution, the California Legislature aims to reaffirm its support for inclusive policies that enable all individuals to fully participate in society and pursue their full potential, regardless of their background.
