Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation making California the first state in the country to create a separate alert system for missing women and children based on race.
The law, set to go into effect on Jan. 1, was passed unanimously by both chambers of California's legislature. According to the Black and Missing Foundation, cited by Bradford, 38% of missing children reported in the United States are black, and a recent human trafficking report found 40% of sex trafficking victims were black women.
The"Ebony Alert" allows law enforcement to tell State Highway Patrol to activate highway signs notifying motorists of a missing person if the investigating agency believes it would help find the child or young adult. Bradford also says it"encourages" media outlets to disseminate information about the missing person.
