A proposed "Ebony Alert" system, similar to an Amber or Silver alert, would inform people of missing Black children and young women. The plan aims to bring attention to these often overlooked groups.

Black women and girls are at increased risk of harm and make up a disproportionate percentage of all missing people.

Although Black women and girls make up just 13 percent of the female U.S. population, they account for 35 percent of all missing women in 2020. “Ebony Alerts” would help ensure resources to California’s Black women and girls.
