Is Rochester ready to finalize a plan for reparations? Mayor Lovely Warren said on Friday that she wants to see reparations for Black residents and residents of color who have long suffered from the multi-generational impact of redlining and economic dispossession. How would this work?
Last week, the RASE Commission released its own report and recommendations for action, but two members of the commission dissented, because they wanted to see a recommendation for reparations. We've invited them to join us, to explain how they think this could be done. We've also invited Rochester's two mayoral candidates to join us.
Confirmed guests:
- Damond Wilson, RASE Commissioner and member of Spiritus Christi Prison Outreach
- Danielle Ponder, RASE Commissioner and attorney
- Malik Evans, candidate for Rochester Mayor
Note: Mayor Lovely Warren was unable to join the conversation.
