Jun 16, 2023 | PDA News

This Sunday’s PDA Town Hall will celebrate Juneteenth, the profound resonance of the holiday in Black communities over the past century and a half, and the role of reparations in fulfilling the legacy and promise of Juneteenth. RSVP Now!

Rev. Robinson is a pastor, activist, former school board member, and community organizer, and a longtime PDA ally. He is the Founder and Community Pastor of the All Souls Movement based in Los Angeles, CA, an inclusive faith-based movement taking on social justice issues and doing community outreach.

Then, we will discuss Rep. Cori Bush’s brand new legislation, The Reparations Now Resolution, urging federal reparations to descendants of enslaved Black people and people of African descent. The resolution outlines the various forms those reparations should take, supports existing reparatory justice efforts such as H.R. 40 and H. Con. Res. 44, and provides further momentum to reparations efforts at the state and local levels.

CLICK HERE to RSVP Now for this week’s Town Hall.

We hope to see you!

In solidarity,

Alan Minsky for the PDA National Team
