The year 2024, a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, involved and is expected to involve several major events in California.
Protests against the Israel–Hamas war amplified in 2024 after an occupation protest at Columbia University, including at California universities.
Demographics
[edit]The population of California on January 1, 2024, was estimated to be 39,128,186, according to the California Department of Finance. The population increased by 67,024 from 2023, the first rise in population since 2020. The Los Angeles Times attributed the increase to changes in domestic migration across states, a decrease in deaths to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, and U.S. president Joe Biden's immigration policies.[1]
Conflicts
[edit]Pro-Palestinian protests occurred at California universities. In April, California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt closed its campus for the remainder of the semester.[2]
Culture
[edit]Architecture
[edit]The May Lee State Office Complex, the largest office complex in the state, opened in Sacramento in May.[3]
Media
[edit]The Los Angeles Times reduced its newsroom by twenty percent in an effort to reduce losses.[4]
Sports
[edit]In the 2023 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams advanced to the Wild Card playoffs and the San Francisco 49ers advanced to the divisional playoffs. The Rams lost to the Detroit Lions 24–23, securing the Lions's first playoff win since 1992.[5] In the NFC Championship Game, the 49ers defeated the Lions 34–33, allowing the 49ers to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII.[6] The Chiefs defeated the 49ers 25–22, becoming the first team to consecutively win the Super Bowl since the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX.[7]
In March, Ippei Mizuhara, the interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, was accused of using Ohtani's funds to place bets with a bookmaker who is the subject of a federal investigation.[8]
Economy
[edit]Significant layoffs in the technology sector as a consequence of growth during the COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2024. In January, Unity Technologies laid off 1,800 employees—or a quarter of its workforce,[9] Amazon's live streaming service Twitch laid off 500 employees—or 35% of its workforce,[10] and Google laid off hundreds of employees in its engineering, voice assistant, and hardware divisions that month.[11]
Environment and weather
[edit]A heat wave in the Western United States that began in July resulted in several fatalities, record temperatures, and wildfires. According to Fremont city officials, temperatures incurred a fish die-off in Lake Elizabeth.[12]
Health
[edit]The COVID-19 pandemic continued for a fourth year in California. In January, the California Department of Public Health revised its guidance to allow children who test positive for COVID-19 to return to school[13] and reduced the timespan for isolation.[14] A sublineage of COVID-19, FLiRT, contributed to an increase in COVID-19 cases in May.[15] According to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California had "very high" coronavirus levels in wastewater in July.[16]
Politics and law
[edit]National politics
[edit]In December 2023, California secretary of state Shirley Weber ruled that Donald Trump was eligible to be on the ballot in the 2024 presidential election.[17] In July 2024, Joe Biden, the president of the United States since 2021, concluded his presidential campaign, endorsing Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States since 2021 and a former California attorney general.[18]
Law
[edit]A law prohibiting the concealed carry of firearms in most public places took effect on January 1, 2024, after the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit paused an injunction District Court for the Central District of California judge Cormac J. Carney implemented in December 2023.[19] The Ninth Circuit ruled on January 7 that the law could not proceed.[20]
