  • Reparations in California: Where Do We Go From Here? - Attorney Kamillah V. Moore

    Reparations in California: Where Do We Go From Here? - Attorney Kamillah V. Moore
    Dec 6 2024
    As we face uncertain paths in government, reparations has been a vigorous discussion in California. After a landmark 1100 page report composed by a select Reparations Task Force and supported by State Government, two critical reparations bills were to be voted on during the last Legislative Session in the State Capitol. Suddenly and with seemingly no explanation, the vote for those bills did not happen. It would seem that the California Legislative Black Caucus was disjointed. Activists groups like Coalition for a Just and Equitable California has been on the leading edge of community advocacy in this space.

    Now, as government evolves in its present post-election iteration, new leaders, legislative reset, and an unclear world view, Where do we go from here? We are glad to have attorney Kamillah V. Moore with us to discuss the reprations issue in California and reparative justice across the globe. Tap in

  • Black Men won't Vote?! Reparations Controversy?! Election concerns in SoCal?!

    Black Men won't Vote?! Reparations Controversy?! Election concerns in SoCal?!
    Oct 18 2024
    There is this narrative out there that says Black men will not vote for VP KLamala Harris because she is a woman. I have never heard any man speak like that. Brothas are looking at policy as far as I know... And then in California, the California Legislative Black Caucus botched reparations vote advanced after the historic and detailed report delivered by the Reparations Task Force. Some say the bills were flawed. OThers say the bills' author was acting alone - a lone wolf. OThers say the fiscal capacity to administer reparations was not there. Whatever the case, to the everyman, it looks really crazy that our black politicians cant even come together on reparations. But is that the case? What happened? THe people deserve to know.

    We are privileged to discuss these issues with Dr. Anthony Samad, Executive Director of theMervyn M. Dymally African American Political and Economic Institute at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Also joining us is the Controller of the California Democratic PArty and the Chair of the DSemocratic PArtyh WOmen's Caucus, Carolyn Fowler.

    This is informative and frank talk.
