Join MLO At The California Reparations Task Force Meeting

September 24, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

California Science Center 700 Exposition Park Drive
Los Angeles, 90037 United States
Description

Reparations for African Americans are on the table in the State of California and we want you to join the conversation. Assembly Bill 3121 (AB 3121) was enacted on September 30, 2020 and establishes the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans (Task Force or Reparations Task Force). On Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24, from 9am to 5pm, the Task Force will hold meetings to provide updates and receive public comments about reparations.

We invite you to spend Saturday morning with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Mu Lambda Omega Chapter from 9am to 12pm to learn more about reparations. We will attend the task force meeting during public comment, then grab lunch to debrief and discuss the role of task forces in government.
