Democrat lawmakers introduce bill to protect African diaspora council

The African Diaspora Council Act is being introduced by California Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove with lead co-sponsor and fellow Californian Sara Jacobs, who is the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa. They said the bill would codify the year-old council and help prevent a future Trump presidency from dismantling or shifting resources away from African affairs or diaspora issues.
