What’s on the agenda for Jan 2023? Well, for one: Tax Law Considerations!

The task force has invited three tax law experts to provide expert testimony on the intersection between reparations and tax.

Timely considering this latest article from @business: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
One of the tax law experts the task force and members of the public will hear from is the formidable @GeorgetownLaw Law Professor, @DorothyABrown!

🧵 Excited to share updates on California’s 16 slavery/lineage based-reparations and racial equity bills aimed at addressing historical and ongoing injustices faced by descendants of slaves. These bills are a significant step towards reparatory justice. Let’s break them down: Image
2/ 📜 SB 1403: Establishes the California American Freedmen Affairs Agency to administer all future reparations, laying the foundation for a comprehensive reparations program.

SB 1403 passed on the Senate floor, and now heads to the Assembly!

3/ 📜 SB 1050: Provides restitution for Californians who lost homes or had their land taken without fair compensation due to racially-motivated use of eminent domain.

SB 1050 passed on the Senate floor, and now heads to the Assembly!

1/📊 In the latest August 2023 Berkeley IGS Poll, California voters were asked about their support for cash payments to descendants of slaves in California:

52% of “strong Democrats” were in favor, while 33% opposed.

92% of “strong Republicans” opposed, while 6% were in favor. Image
2/ A substantial 62% of respondents said they had heard about the California Reparations Task Force (CRTF), with 73% of Black respondents being aware of it. Notably, Republicans, property owners, higher education, & higher income groups were more likely to have heard about CRTF. Image
3/ Respondents were also asked about the state’s efforts to ensure fair chances for Black residents. Across counties, most believe the state is doing *too little* for Black residents, including white respondents.

My 3x great grand parents, Victor Theophile Haydel (1835-1924) and Marie Celeste Becnel (1840-1885) were both born enslaved on the @WhitPlantation. The couple who would become the ancestors of the African American Haydel family. #DESCENDANTChallenge @Participant @HGMedia
“Victor was the son of an enslaved woman (Anna), who was herself a mulatto. Victor was fathered by Antoine Haydel, the brother of Marie Azelie Haydel. Celeste was a daughter of Francoise, the enslaved cook of Marie, and was fathered by Florestan Becnel, Marie’s brother-in-law.”
“It is known that each of these men was married, and that refusing to engage in sexual relations with a white man was not an option available to either of these women.”

Honored to descend from such survivors: whitneyplantation.org/history/the-bi…

The Rise of the Lost Cause Myth (across U.S. + California):

“After Reconstruction ended, white southerners created the myth of the Confederate “Lost Cause” in order to downplay the horrors of enslavement and terrorize African Americans.”

#Reparations #ReparationsNow

(🧵⤵️) A crowd of European American Confederates gather around a to
“Southerners who opposed Black civil rights falsely argued that the Civil War had little to do with enslavement.

The Lost Cause myth claims that the Confederacy had fought a heroic war to save the southern way of life from being destroyed by the North.”

#ReparationsNow
“This untruthful history also claims that the Confederacy lost the Civil War only because the more populated, industrialized North overpowered white southerners, not because enslavement or the Confederate cause was wrong.”

The Destruction of Reconstruction:

“African Americans fought for and took advantage of many new legal rights during Reconstruction, but this time period of growing legal equality was short.”

A THREAD 🧵: 1/
“White supremacist terrorist groups, first the KKK and then later militias such as the White League of Louisiana and the Red Shirts of South Carolina, eventually overthrew the Reconstruction governments that Black and white Republicans had established together in the South.”

2/
“White southern Democrats, who wanted to keep African Americans working on plantations and out of politics, retook control of the southern states.”
