CLRJ logo 500 x 500.jpgCalifornia's communities of color helped give a Obama a record victory. They helped defeat the Right on Pro-prison Prop 6 and anti-abortion Prop 4. Yet the passage of Prop 9 and the controversy around Proposition 8 show there is still work to be done. To help take stock of successes and challenges, Manuel Criollo hosts a roundtable discussion with 3 LA leaders: Rocio Cordoba, Director of California Latinas for Reproductive Justice; Greg Akili, Obama campaign coordinator for Southern California; and Shiu-Ming Cheer, attorney with the South Asian Network.
