Today’s Race + Power newsletter focuses on the Land Back movement. First, Black land theft nationwide has displaced more than a million US families. A key part of reparations requires restoring land to the heirs of families affected. Next, from the NPQ series, Just Transition: Liberating Finance to Build a Better World, how do Black and Indigenous communities regain ownership of land? Then, in the San Francisco Bay area, a Native movement that started as land occupation to preserve burial grounds has grown into an Indigenous women-led land trust. Finally, there is no racial justice in the United States without land justice—how returning land brings healing and builds power.
