    KPFK Conversation Piece California Black Ecosystem Gubernatorial Forum

    California’s June 2 primary election is your first chance to shape what shows up on the November ballot. In California’s top-two primary system, the two candidates with the most votes—regardless of party—move forward to the general election. That means every vote matters now, not just in November. Today on Conversation Piece… California Black Power Network (CBPN), Congregations Organized for Prophetic Engagement (COPE), and more Black organizations across California held the Black Ecosystem Gubernatorial Forum, on the anniversary of the LA Uprisings on April 29th. All of the California governor candidates were invited to address specific policy demands of California’s Black community. We will hear this forum today on Conversation Piece which is not a debate, but is an accountability session with questions from our communities, placing the answers on public record, ensuring everyone knows this election matters.
