In 2023 the California Reparations Task Force completed a 1,000+ page report on the horrific history and effects of slavery in the state of California, a stain on our nation that to this day has had dramatic repercussions for the descendants of the people America enslaved. As part of their report, the Task Force also offered over 100 common-sense recommendations for reparative legislation that could start to right this immeasurable wrong.

In 2024, some brave California legislators finally proposed 19 bills that -- if passed -- would begin to make reparations a reality in our state, and would make California the first state to do so! All other states’ eyes are on California watching to see if we’re successful, and to determine whether they too will pick up the fight. Will faith community rise to the occasion to ensure Reparations legislation is finally enacted?

Beginning in 2024, Clergy & Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE) is organizing faith community across SoCal to support this landmark, life-changing, grossly overdue reparative legislation. Currently we are setting up presentations featuring Kamilah V. Moore, the Chair of the CA Reparations Task Force, to discuss the report, their recommendations, and what's at stake. (Please let us know if you'd like to set one up for your denomination!) We urge clergy and lay leaders throughout the state to mobilize their congregants and community to demand their legislators pass these crucial bills.

Are you an anti-racist of faith who wants to make Reparations a reality?! Then please sign-up below to get involved!
