    Today, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark victory for justice in America. This act ended legal discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This was made possible by the relentless efforts of civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will continue to honor the sacrifices of those who fought for this act by making sure we vote. Your vote matters. Get out and vote. #CivilRightsAct #60thAnniversary #ShiftTheCulture #MLKLegacy #JusticeMatters

    Sacramento, you sure know your stuff when it comes to pronouns. In California, using someone’s pronouns isn’t just about respect. There are protections under the law!     Except for a few circumstances like recordkeeping, people have the right to be called by their chosen name and pronouns at work. It doesn’t matter if they’ve been legally changed or not.     If a job must use your legal name for recordkeeping purposes, they should still make every effort to use your chosen name and pronouns on things like your nametag, work email, a shift schedule, or work ID card.   If someone is disrespecting your pronouns, we can help, including through CA vs Hate! Our care coordinators can help find the best resource for you, whether it’s mental health counseling or filing a complaint with CRD.     There’s support for you and it’s free! Click the link in our bio to learn more about CA vs Hate and CRD. ⬇️ CA vs Hate: cavshate.org CRD resources: bit.ly/3KVTGGO   * * *   Accessibility: Monica (she/they) from the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), with braided brown hair, heart shaped sunglasses, jeans with a red and white shirt stands in front the State Capitol holding a pink microphone. Monica then starts interviewing Sacramento Pride attendees, asking for their pronouns. After asking for their pronouns, Monica starts quizzing attendees about worker rights at work. While one attendee is thinking, math equations and a retro computer loading graphic appear on the screen with suspenseful music. When Monica reveals the answer, one of the attendees is shocked, and flashes with glitter and hearts appear with the “wow” anime sound. Later, another attendee asks Monica what someone could do if their pronouns aren’t used at work. While Monica is thinking, a time transition from SpongeBob appears saying “a few moments later” and Monica appears again, sharing information about California Versus Hate. Please refer to the closed captioning for a transcript of their conversations!
