Assemblywoman Shirley Weber speaks at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., on June 10, 2020. While in the Assembly Weber authored legislation creating the first-in-the-nation task force in California to study and recommend reparations for African Americans. California Gov.

The Coalition for a Just and Equitable California and other organizations sent a letter to Newsom saying the extension would send a demoralizing message to African Americans waiting for restitution.
