FBANC Congratulates Rob Bonta on his Nomination as California's Attorney General

FBANC is so proud to announce that Rob Bonta has been nominated as California’s newest Attorney General. Thank you to Governor Newsom for such a historic nomination. Mr. Bonta will be the first Filipino American to serve as California’s principal legal officer. FBANC, along with five Filipinx affinity bar associations and the National Filipino American Lawyers Association, supported Mr. Bonta for the position back in December 7, 2020. We commend Governor Newsom on his commitment to the Asian American Pacific Islander community and on nominating an individual whose roots are planted in social justice movements, which have historically advanced the rights of Filipinos in California.

Thank you to Mr. Bonta for making your announcement at the I-Hotel in San Francisco and for honoring the struggles of the Filipinx activists, civil rights heroes, and farm workers in our fight for justice in California.
