About this Event …
The Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference, Council on Communities of Color presents the latest installment of its ongoing micro-summit series. Now called "The Movement Summit" series, this new discussion will be: "Reparations: What Would That Look Like? Exploring a Justice Strategy and Policy Framework."
Movement Summits are being produced all year in partnership with the B|E Note. The Summits are a unique convening of state and local policy makers, experts and thinkers in search of equitable governing solutions. This panel will take place via Zoom on Friday, June 18th, 10am - 11am ET.
The program on "Reparations" unpacks the most recent conversations around the movement to provide broad financial and institutional restitution for Black communities in America. Experts and policymakers will discuss the concept of reparations as workable policy, the costs of such a program, and what implementation would look like if it were to become a reality. The panelists will also discuss what role the movement for reparations plays in the overall push for equity.
Join us for this important discussion. Panelists will offer expert insights, guidance and strategy.
Registrants will receive a Zoom access link upon registration. Audience members will be able to ask questions by chat. Audience members are encouraged to discuss and share the panel on social media at #MovementSummit.
