Fighting for the California MENA Inclusion Bill #CountMENAinCA

#CountMENAinCA

#CountMENAInCA is a campaign led by the CA MENA Civil Rights Coalition to pass AB 2763, commonly referred to as the California MENA Inclusion Act. The California MENA Inclusion Act would finally make the State of California have a distinct MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) category for all data throughout the state.

Armenian-American Action Network recommends the State of California to create a distinct ethnic minimum reporting category labeled Middle East or North African (MENA) and require the new standard to be available to Californians across all state forms, public and private, to identify with their respective ethnic background.

AB 2763 was introduced on February 16, 2024. Read the bill here.

AAAN co-chairs the CA MENA Civil Rights Coalition with Arab American Civic Council. Read the full #CountMENAinCA campaign website here.
