🗽Today, we celebrate Juneteenth and a groundbreaking step towards racial justice in NY: Governor Hochul and state legislators have established a Reparations Commission to address the legacy of slavery and ongoing inequity. 🤝🏾 New Yorkers for Reparations (NY4R), a grassroots coalition building the movement for reparations in New York, is gathering signatures and rallying New Yorkers to ensure the commission's success. ➤ But the work has just begun. The Commission needs widespread support to counter MAGA Republican opposition, who seek to whitewash history and block progress. As the NY4R statement says: "Gov. Hochul and state legislators created this commission in response to the demands of New Yorkers across race and place who know reparations are urgent and necessary for making equality real for Black New Yorkers. And we know that the commissioners selected for the task embody the necessary expertise, experience, and values for giving us a roadmap to righting the wrongs of injustice in our state from its foundation.” Join us in taking action this Juneteenth – 📄 Read the full NY4R press release here: https://lnkd.in/dzTr9xMw ✍🏽 Sign NY4R's statement for New Yorkers supporting reparations in the press release 📢 Share this post to spread the word about New York’s historic opportunity for reparations. #Juneteenth #Reparations #RacialJustice #NewYork #NY4R #ReparationsNow #SupportReparations
