Thanks very much for excerpting that!
Reparations aren’t just a cash payment – the article lists five different aspects of reparations, and it’s very compatible with investing in Black communities. There’s debate iover who should be eligible but it’s not an unsolvable problem. And sure some people will use it as an excuse to declare racism’s over, but the same was true when Obama got elected … so that’s not a reason not to do it!
In terms of support in general, do you support the 1988 decision by the US to pay reparations to Japanese-Americans who had been sent to internment camps?
The House GOP leadership pulled both FISA bills!
Instead, a four-month extension is attached to the NDAA – unless it gets removed. Dozens of civil rights and racial justice groups oppose extending FISA in the NDAA.
If you agree, call your Senators TODAY and with a simple ask: “DO NOT put 702 in the NDAA.”.
(The Congressional switchboard is at (202) 224-3121, or you can use the Senate directory to find their direct number and web contact form.)
Thank you very much, that’s a great point – I’ll update the post to include it!
Well said, thanks!
