On August 31, 2024, the California Legislative Black Caucus and Governor Gavin Newsom allowed AB 1315 — the California American Freedmen Affairs Agency Act — to die, amended into irrelevance, and buried under another study. Emend The Mass Media Group was in the room. They documented everything. And on June 19, 2026 — Juneteenth — they are releasing what they saw.
Reparations Now! II: The Betrayal is the sequel to the 2023 documentary Reparations Now!, which followed the historic California reparations task force and is currently streaming free on Tubi. The second film turns the lens on what happened next: the legislative session that became a case study in political betrayal, institutional anti-Blackness, and the gap between what Black voters are promised and what they actually receive.
