On June 1, 2021 the new California Reparations Task Force held its first meeting. The event marked a historic first both for California and the nation as the nine-member Task Force begins work to develop Reparations proposals for African American U.S. Slavery descendants. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill (AB 3121) creating the Task Force in 2020. The Task Force has until June 2023 to complete its work.

Chris Lodgson & Kim Mims members of the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California (CJEC), will provide us with the progress of the Task Force and talk with us about their expectations for the Task Force. Join us for our next episode and witness history in action.
