(2/7) Today Congress is holding a hearing on #HR40, a bill that would finally address America's original sin of slavery and establish a commission to study and develop proposals for reparations.
(3/7) It will take place in the US Capitol, the symbol of our democracy, which was built by enslaved people.

Continuing @hrw’s work on US policing, race & reparations, my colleagues will be in #Tulsa to celebrate #Juneteenth & to support a local effort to shine a light on the #TulsaRaceMassacre.

If you’re watching Tulsa this weekend, let this history guide you
If you would like to understand more about the #TulsaRaceMassacre - and why it’s so important today - here’s a thread for you...
“Renewed impetus has also come from Human Rights Watch which has added its advocacy muscle to the campaign. The organization has released a 72-page report that argues that reparations for the #TulsaRaceMassacre is a matter of international human rights.”

If elected, you/@GOP won't hold employers of these low wage jobs that don't provide good benefits or pensions accountable, you just want Blacks mad at Latinos. You don't support Reparations for Blacks, #Fightfor15 or closing the #RacialWealthGap. #BlackPolitics #BlackVote #ADOS
Those poultry jobs @jamestulp talked about don't fix the #WageGap

More Than Half of Black and Latino Workers Are Paid Less Than $15 an Hour

1. On #Reparations, the legit orgs to follow & support 👉🏿 ncobraonline.org & @ReparationsComm.

- @ministter

"There are external forces intent on sowing confusion to suppress the Black vote to favor the ascendancy of these reactionary forces."

- @ReparationsComm #HR40
2. Our struggle is a Pan-African struggle because we came from Africa. Reparations require healing. Reparations MUST include @ReparationsComm’s demand for “Right of Repatriation & Creation of an African Knowledge Program”

3. Reparations is not necessarily all about the Benjamins for individuals. Rather it’s about long-term reparatory financial investment in our communities.
