Dear John,

Once again, the anti-Blackness so entangled in the DNA of this country is
under a national spotlight as we mourn George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and far
too many others, whose lives were lost to the violence of police brutality.

We must and will continue to fight for racial and social justice, because
an equitable, just, and safe society can’t be achieved without centering
the most oppressed.

We must continue to fight for an economic system that doesn’t fail us,
deplete us, and put humanity in harm’s way to generate further wealth for
the few.

Over the last year, CJA members have worked in coalition to create a policy
framework [3] that centers the visionary and powerful solutions of
frontline communities who have faced the brunt of social injustices and
climate change impacts. We believe that any Green New Deal must center
Black, Brown, Indigenous and poor white communities for it to be effective.


Following a summit held in Detroit last summer [4] with 64 grassroots and
allied organizations and 80 leaders, the United Frontline Table (UFT) was
formed. The UFT continues to center frontline voices in national
conversations about Green New Deal organizing and policy interventions.

Today, we’re sharing this labor of love, expertise, and lived experience
with you as a tool to advocate for a Just Transition as the vehicle to a
Regenerative Economy. [5]

A PEOPLE’S ORIENTATION TO A REGENERATIVE ECONOMY: PROTECT, REPAIR, INVEST
AND TRANSFORM

We invite you to bring this orientation into your work and your lives. This
tool is for anyone who wants to create life-affirming and transformative
policy changes.

It articulates the necessary questions to ask [8] and steps to take– in
14 policy planks [9] and 80+ policy ideas - to achieve a world that values
and sustains our lives and relationships.

Over the summer and fall, we, along with other United Frontline Table
members, will engage in organizing work around the 14 POLICY PLANKS [9].
The planks will also be featured on our social media platforms and
websites. With your help amplifying, we can build momentum together for
vetted policy priorities we demand from decision makers, our community
members and each other.

RIGHT NOW, JUSTICE FOR BLACK COMMUNITIES [10] IS THE CLEAR FIRST STEP THAT
WE NEED TO ADVANCE RIGHT AWAY:

* End Mass Incarceration & Capital Punishment
* Make Reparations
* Reinstate Voting Rights
* Ensure Equitable Access to Housing, Jobs, Healthcare & Education
* Invest in Community-Governed Infrastructure
* Build Community Governance & Oversight of Local Institutions & Economies
* Divest from Extraction & Invest in Our People Starting with Defunding &
Demilitarizing Police

YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITIES ARE WELCOME TO JOIN THE REGENERATIVE ECONOMY. The
Protect, Repair, Invest and Transform framework puts us on a trajectory
toward collective justice, rooted in a living Regenerative Economy that is
intersectional—anti-racist and feminist. _PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY._ Over
the summer, our policy and organizing teams will continue to outreach and
invite our allies.

Let’s get back to healing and let’s get to building the new.

In solidarity,__
