SUMMARY:Reparations Task Force
DESCRIPTION:This group examines Middle’s own history of colonization\, Indigenous exploitation\, and Black enslavement to help us think about how we can use the resources generated by white supremacy—from which we still benefit—to create a more just world. To create continuity in this work\, the group is closed to open membership. Interested parties can contact one of the co-chairs Anna Polovick Waggy to schedule a conversation.
