What’s on the agenda for Jan 2023? Well, for one: Tax Law Considerations!
The task force has invited three tax law experts to provide expert testimony on the intersection between reparations and tax.

“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. ✊🏾💪🏾

California has undertaken the nation’s most sweeping effort yet to explore some concrete restitution to Black citizens to address the enduring economic effects of slavery and racism. #CRTF #ReparationsNow

Spent a while working on a story about the history of Allensworth and Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park...
Here's a lil 🧵 on the background + images that didn't make it into the final story.
It started with listening to California's #reparations task force #CRTF🛤️

Last October @terrancedean provided expert testimony to the task force. He talked about Allensworth.
"In essence, it was a shining example of Black self-sufficiency and prosperity," he said.

Then I kept hearing state Sen. @SteveBradford mention Allensworth. And I was wondering... what is the deal?
I dug into some history.
