Action Conversation on Race: Reparations

The call for reparations in the United States by Black and Indigenous communities is not new. Financial compensation and land sovereignty are two kinds of reparations, but there are many other ways to address the harms caused by forced unpaid labor, land theft, violence, and racism. Panelists will review the history of reparations, clarify purpose, and offer contemporary examples.

The National Women’s History Month’s theme for 2024 celebrates “Women Who Advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” This timely theme recognizes those women who do the necessary work of eliminating bias and discrimination from our lives and institutions. Yet, more than 30 states have introduced bills banning or limiting DEI initiatives during their current legislative session. Join the conversation and show your support for our panel of advocates as they discuss the value of DEI.

Mutual Aid

Mutual aid is a practice wherein everyday people work together to meet the needs of those in their community. Racial justice groups like the Black Panther Party and Young Lords pioneered mutual aid by collectively sharing their skills and assets to offer community-led medical, food, housing, and educational assistance. Panelists discuss the decolonialist, antiracist, and anticapitalist roots of mutual aid as well as contemporary opportunities for action.
