CALL TO ACTION! Send this message to [email protected] ! -------- Without the backing of the government agency and funding proposed in SB 1403 and SB1331, what are the next steps in getting restitution or land back for victims of racially motivated eminent domain? How will the California government ensure that SB 1050 becomes a reality? When will you meet with Where Is My Land to discuss your plan of action? -------- SB 1050 is making progress, but without SB 1403 and SB 1331 on the plate, there is still work for us to do. We need the community to rally and ensure reparative justice for Californians impacted by racially-motivated eminent domain! #ReparationsNow #RestorativeJustice #ReparativeJustice #BlackLandBack #SB1050 #SB1403 #ReparativeJusticeNews #SB1331

Yesterday, the city of Los Angeles revealed a first draft of a report titled "An Examination of African American Experiences in Los Angeles." The report not only provided relevant statistics, surveys, and historical information to make the case for reparations, but it also recommended policies to be enacted to help close the wealth gap between Black and white Los Angeles residents. The report will be delivered to Los Angeles City Council later in the fall, where we will see if the council's bite can match the report's bark. #ReparativeJustice #RestorativeJustice #ReparationsNow #WhereIsMyLand #BlackLandBack #LosAngeles

Unfortunately, this is an argument we are still hearing in 2024. Very little has been done to help Black America recover from slavery and its residual harms, so how can we be expected to move on? Especially when much of the same harm is still being perpetuated today? #ReparationsNow #RestorativeJustice #ReparativeJustice #BlackLandBack #WhereIsMyLand #PrisonReform

Unfortunately, the 1919 Chicago Riots were neither the first nor the last atrocity committed against Black Americans during the Red Summer. Over a thousand Black Chicagoans were forced to abandon their homes after Black neighborhoods had been pillaged and their homes had been burned to the ground. #BlackLandBack #ReparationsNow #RestorativeJustice #ReparativeJustice #WhereIsMyLand #RedSummer #1919 #Chicago #RaceRiot

Today we are commemorating Haiti's battle for independence! Haiti became the first Black nation in the West after slaves revolted and overthrew colonizers from France and Spain, ending slavery in what was once the most profitable plantation island for Europeans. Sadly, European nations and the United States exacted their revenge for another century, in the form of reparations paid from Haiti to France, and isolationism from Western nations which stunted the developing nation's economy. #BlackLandBack #WhereIsMyLand #HaitianIndependence #BlackHistory #Haiti

Another obstacle to Black land ownership and generational wealth is property devaluation. Take a look at the findings of this 2018 study which analyzed the average value of properties in white and Black communities. This is why we must fight the system that destroys high-value Black communities, and win back valuable land that has been stolen from Black families! #BlackLandBack #ReparationsNow #ReparativeJustice #RestorativeJustice #WhereIsMyLand

On August 15, three reparations bills authored by CA Senator Steven Bradford passed through the Assembly Appropriations Committee, meaning they will now advance to the floor for a full vote. If they pass on the floor, CA gov. Gavin Newsom will have the opportunity to sign them into action. Steven Bradford has worked closely with community advocates in crafting these bills. WIML has worked directly with Bradford in crafting SB 1050, which passed Appropriations alongside SB 1331 and SB 1403. #ReparationsNow #RestorativeJustice #ReparativeJustice #BlackLandBack #WhereIsMyLand #SB1050

Washington D.C. was home to the first large-scale attack by white supremacists during the Red Summer of 1919. Likely because of its proximity to the capitol, details of the violence that occurred here have been heavily censored, and photographic evidence is scarce. The incident was followed by even more brutal displays of violence in Chicago, IL and Elaine, AK just weeks later. #ReparationsNow #RestorativeJustice #ReparativeJustice #WhereIsMyLand #RedSummer
