Pressley, Advocates Call Congress to Advance Transformative Reparative Justice Agenda

Published | Video Starts at 04:30

Where harm and injury has occurred, we have done this as a government. We just simply have not done it for black Americans. And that is why We are fighting for comprehensive reparative justice legislation, legislation that provides real wraparound support for our communities and begins to deliberately close the gaps that were deliberately created. So we call on Congress to act to meet this moment with the urgency demands to help build a future grounded not in denials, but but in repair, in redress. (04:30–04:47)
