Ebony Alert for missing Black youth? A new California bill

A new bill hopes to address the lack of attention and resources given to Black youth who go missing in California. Senate Bill 673 would create an "Ebony Alert" notification system, similar to that of an Amber Alert, but it would be specifically for Black children and young Black women between the ages of 12 to 25. The bill would authorize law enforcement to request that an Ebony Alert be activated if that agency determines the alert would be an effective tool. Democratic State Sen. Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, introduced the bill.
