For the first time in the nation’s history, a statewide system will alert residents of missing Black youths, beginning Jan. 1. California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 673, also known as the “Ebony Alert,” into law Sunday. The legislation enables the California Highway Patrol to authorize alerts announced on the changeable message signs along freeways if a vehicle is involved in a missing person incident. The CHP can also contact media and use social media to disseminate a bulletin.
The Congressional Black Caucus also released a report in 2020 showing that 40% of all sex trafficking victims were Black and 57.5% of all juvenile prostitution arrests are of Black children. The bill received support from several advocacy groups, including the NAACP’s California Hawaii State Conference. “It’s actually a historic bill,” conference President Rick Callender said in a Zoom call Wednesday morning.
