Lawmakers, doctors, business leaders and minority groups kicked off a statewide campaign Thursday to block the passage of a proposition on the Oct. 7 ballot that would ban the collection of racial information.
Nearly 300 people rallied in San Francisco to protest Proposition 54, which would keep state and local agencies from collecting, analyzing or applying racial and ethnic data.
