Dear NCRC members and allies,
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the economic inequality built into the structure of our country. As the economic impact of the pandemic has disproportionately devastated Black wealth, the nationwide protests following the murder of George Floyd have helped carry calls for reparations to new ears. There is unprecedented energy behind the idea that the federal government should finally pay Black people what they are owed. We must seize this moment to push for reparations and start to undo the racist systems that suppress Black wealth.
This Just Economy Session will be a conversation between Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of the 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones and NCRC CEO Jesse Van Tol, facilitated by journalist Oscar Perry Abello, regarding what it would look like if we actually won reparations, and what other strategies are needed to create a just economy that repairs the harm caused by White supremacy.
