As a broad and ambitious policy endeavor that seeks to fundamentally address current inequities while redressing past injustices, it should be common sense that discussion of the Green New Deal should be perpetually in dialogue with the movement for reparations. In their fullest articulations, the Green New Deal and reparations each seek to fundamentally change our society in ways that are deeply intertwined.

To stimulate and further this conversation, the next Creation Justice Webinar will be on the Green New Deal and Reparations. Our three guest panelists with be Congresswoman Barbara Lee, 350.org’s Tamara Toles O’Laughlin, and the UCC’s Rev. Sekinah Hamlin. You are invited to register now for this event on August 5th.
