The Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act is designated S. 40/H.R. 40 for symbolic reasons. After the Civil War, former slaves were promised 40 acres and a mule—the first systematic attempt to provide a form of reparations. Introduced in Congress every year since 1989, H.R. 40 cleared committee for the first time in April of this year and is heading to the House floor.
Email your senators and representative and tell them to support the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act (S. 40/H.R. 40).
Going to school or returning home from an after-school job or visiting friends or going to a cookout or concert—or a playground—should not put students’ lives at risk. But sadly, in communities of color, this is the reality.
We demand that our elected leaders and those who swear an oath to protect and serve us respect our rights, no matter our race, background, or where we live. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (H.R. 1280) takes initial steps toward this goal and will help bring an end to police brutality, protect our civil rights and liberties, and change the culture of law enforcement agencies.
Email your senators and ask them to support the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
This bill establishes the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans.
