9/23/2020 -- How to Implement Reparations in America

From the sponsors:

“With the majority of Americans now agreeing that anti-Black racism is an issue that needs to be addressed, it’s time for a serious conversation about reparations as one tangible way to root out systemic oppression. 

Join us on Wednesday, September 23, 2:00 PM EST as we discuss policy ideas to implement reparations. Should reparations be a community-based model that addresses systemic racism and economic inequities? Should funds be directed to individuals or communities? Who should be eligible? How will we measure the impact of reparations? After the discussion, stick around for a Q&A with the experts.

  • Moderator: Danielle Belton, editor-in-chief, The Root 

  • Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, chief, race, wealth and community, The National Community Reinvestment Coalition
