California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that provides
grant funding to nonprofit organizations at risk from hate-inspired
violence.
AB-1548, partially catalyzed by the deadly shooting at a synagogue in
Poway, California, in April, establishes the California State Nonprofit
Security Grant Program, which provides grants up to $200,000 for
security guards, reinforced doors, alarm systems and other measures to
protect “high risk” nonprofits.
The bill was introduced by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, the vice
chair of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus. In a statement
Friday, Gabriel welcomed the signing of the law, saying it “sends a
powerful message that California stands firmly with those targeted by
hate.” The Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California also welcomed
the law.

LOL. What a waste, they can't blame this one on a "White supremacist".
