#Reparations4Health
Closing keynote by @KamilahVMoore,: Indigenous African human beings were stripped of self-determination and chattel slavery vestiges remain. Family separation, police brutality, lack of generational wealth are only a sampling of the harms perpetrated. #Reparations4Health
"Negligence is intentional" ~Saskia VannJames, of @MACONSUMERS, advocating for reparatory justice policies within #Cambridge, including a restitution fund to address racial inequities from the War on Drugs + a Racial Justice and Equity commission @FXBHarvard#reparations4health
Dr. Mary Bassett: “We must bring the idea of reparations into spaces where it hasn’t been taken seriously. Slowly it will no longer seem like such a far-fetched idea. We must do it for the sake of national cohesion and the sake of our health.” #Reparations4Health
