A bill would fund inclusivity messaging in states with anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Closing the economic and racial wealth gap to homeownership. Sac State free adult summer series “Celebrating Diversity: Telling Stories that Haven’t Been Told.”

Inclusivity bill

California State Senate Pro Tempore Toni Atkins (D- San Diego) discusses authoring SB 447, legislation called the BRIDGE Project– which stands for “Building and Reinforcing Inclusive, Diverse, Gender-Supportive Equality.” The bill wants to amend a previous law banning taxpayer-funded travel to states with anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Pro Tem Atkins argues the 2016 law had unintended consequences and further isolated LGBTQ+ members in those states. SB 447 would lift the travel ban and create a donation-driven fund for inclusive messaging and help members of the LGBTQ+ community feel less isolated.
