Support state bill to officially recognize Middle Eastern and North African residents
Resolution Resolution No. 33-25
In Plain English
California currently groups Middle Eastern and North African residents under "white" in official data collection. Assembly Bill 91 would create a separate MENA category for state forms and statistics. Richmond has a significant MENA population that would gain better representation in government data if this bill passes.
