Toward Fair Cures: Diversity in Stem Cell Research

In 2004, Californians passed Proposition 71 with an overwhelming support from the state's minority communities. Called the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act, it would invest $3 BILLION into stem cell research and development with the promise of cures and an estimated 22,000 jobs for the biotechnology industry. Nearly 4 years later and with a $15 billion budget deficit, questions remain about how California will incorporate its diverse communities into their $3 billion economic development program.

This video is an outreach piece produced by the Greenlining Institute to inform voters of issues of diversity in stem cell research. 2 other pieces were produced that provide more in-depth information about diversity issues and economic implications of stem cell research.
