And again let’s make everyone clear what was done here was plainly awful. And it damaged the reparations discussion in immeasurable ways that are now very clear. #ados
There would be no crazed hollering in this room if I was present and not shut out of my own work product. They then used them to now spin REPARATIONS into an equity project for all. They just aren’t sharp enough to see it.

Newsom is basically saying he is opposed to reparations. The #ab3121 panel was a waste of time & the recommendations don’t even make sense. They can stop no need for 2024. “Gov. Gavin Newsom Will Not Support Cash Reparations But ‘Supports Recommendations’” californiaglobe.com/articles/gov-g…
When Newsom says he supports recommendations he is saying he believes this is reparations. And this is what he supports. >>> “….other more social changes were recommended including removing racial bias and discriminatory practices in standardized testing, declaring election day… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
As I told you back in March this California #ab3121 reparations recommendation would not make sense when released. Now it’s up to $1.2 million for someone 71 years old. Thus randomly breaking this down by age. This elementary calculation isn’t proper form for lineal reparations.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 
This was how #ab3121 came to be a bill.

“Hampton, VA. Slab-town: After the Civil War, African Americans lived in large, segregated refugee camps like Slabtown because there was nowhere else for them to go. Hospitals, dispensaries, and military camps were unable to serve the masses of enslaved people…” #ReparationsNow
“Escaped and abandoned formerly enslaved people settled near or within the Union Army’s military camps and battle lines. The camps did not have adequate sanitation, nutrition, or medical care. One out of every four African Americans who lived in the camps died.(1864) #Reparations
For past 4 yrs volunteer community organizers of @cjecofficial @NAASDLA put in thousands of hours of work to produce what you now know as #AB3121 & #SB189. We consulted legal, legislative and policy experts. We gathered input from dozens of listening sessions throughout CA.✊🏾💪🏾
We worked closely w/ Dr. Weber, Dr. Darity and a multitude of state and local elected officials. We even brought @icecube into the process.
We amended #AB3121, got it passed into law and, defeated an attempt to change the eligibility intent of the statute. #LineageVote ✊🏾💪🏾

We conducted surveys and produced countless pieces of marketing content directed at raising awareness in the CA #Freedmen community about #Reparations efforts in the state.
Everything we have done was to inform our people and bring them/ their input into the process. ✊🏾💪🏾
