State House, Room 10

Deliberations in the US House of Representatives on legislation that would create a Commission to study and develop reparations proposals (HR.40) have reached a fever pitch. A bill has been introduced in Vermont that would establish a task force to study and consider a State apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery. Vermont law makers remain largely silent on the matter. We're advancing the discussion. Is the appointment of a task force to examine an apology and reparations the appropriate solution? What are the hopes and fears of community and policy makers surrounding the prospect of such task force? There is allot to discuss and we'll bring representatives from community, policy makers, clergy and activists together for that discussion.

H.478 https://bit.ly/2WZtvUa is recommended for review prior to attending.

The Legislative Series was created to provide a forum to educate community members and gain their perspectives while informing legislator's decisions on policy, the Series will run throughout the legislative session and all forums will be conducted in room 10 in the Statehouse, from 5:30 PM till 7:30 PM.
