Senator Ochoa Bogh to speak at CFER Conference. Join us to hear from the Senator and other distinguished speakers!
California State Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh of Inland Empire will join us at CFER’s upcoming conference on July 24 and July 25 in Orange County. Senator Ochoa Bogh is a strong ally to CFER’s cause of equality. In 2020, when the Senator was a school board member at the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, she supported the No on 16 campaign to defend Prop. 209 and spoke passionately about the American Dream. During her tenure in the State Senate, notably as the Vice Chair of the Senate Education Committee, Senator Ochoa Bogh has consistently advocated for equal rights. Often, she is the lone voice of reason and sanity in committee hearings, speaking forcefully and eloquently against constitutional amendments to repeal Prop. 209. Most recently, the Senator voiced concerns against ACA 7 and debated its proponents during its committee hearing on June 3rd, 2026.

You are invited! Join CFER‘s conference to celebrate 30 years of Prop. 209
CFER has been fightingagainst race-based reparations since 2022, which is why we are so encouraged by the participation of the U.S. Department of Justice in a lawsuit against housing reparations in the Evanston, Illinois. We will proactively seek collaboration and support from the Federal Government to help expose and challenge various reparations schemes in California. As we continue to raise awareness on the importance of Prop. 209 and the attacks against it, notably ACA 7, CFER will host a panel discussion on reparations at our upcoming conference on July 24-25 in Orange County. CFER Executive Vice President Gail Professor will lead the discussion.

Another attack on Prop. 209 moves forward. Come to CFER’s July 24-25 conference to hear more!
If ACA 7 gets out of the State Legislature this year, Californians will have to decide on the 2028 state ballot whether or not we want to gut Prop. 209, once again. In light of ACA 7’s development in the State Senate, CFER is now restructuring this year’s conference program to incorporate much-needed discussions on pertinent topics in our agenda. In addition to our previously scheduled panels on federal policy reforms and local organizing, our conference will focus heavily on the state-level policy and legislative landscape surrounding Prop. 209.

Call the Senate Education Committee to oppose ACA 7!
ACA 7 – California’s latest attempt at repealing Prop. 209 (with its education provisions) is now at the State Senate Education Committee. The committee will hear and vote on ACA 7 on Wednesday, June 3rd. It is crucial that we voice our opposition against reenacting government preferences in education NOW!
