As we bring another year to a close, I’m pleased to share this issue that reflects on our progress in 2024 and what we’ve accomplished together.
Meet Senator
Lola Smallwood-Cuevas
Welcome! I’m Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, and I’m honored to represent nearly one million residents in the 28th Senate District, one of California’s most diverse regions in Los Angeles. I spent more than two decades working as a labor organizer and civil rights activist before my election to the State Senate. It is my privilege to serve California’s residents by presenting legislation that will create a more equitable economy for working families.
Sincerely,

Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson), a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), says he supports Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal to expand the state’s Film and Television Tax Credit Program from its current $330 million annual budget allocation to $750 million. Gipson, who is chair of the Assembly Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism, says, historically, that tax credit has aimed to increase diversity, equity and inclusion, as outlined in SB 132. He’s counting on it to continue making diversity a priority.
