A Training on Reparations Frameworks
About this event
What would creating a Reparations Plan do for the communities we are a part of and/or impact? How can we focus on addressing institutional accountability and racial disparities directly, rather than talking around the solutions? This 4 hour training for institutional representatives will cover:
- Defining Reparations
- A History of Reparations within the United States
- Understanding Reparations Frameworks
- Deep Dive into Current Reparations Models
- Mapping Out Implementation
Facilitators will work with participants to clearly identify what reparations models would work as part of their organization's commitment to racial justice.
This event will be closed captioned.
