In November, New Yorkers will have the opportunity to vote for three measures intended to address structural racism and persistent inequality. These ballot initiatives were proposed by the City's Racial Justice Commission and would change the City Charter by including a statement of values to guide government and commitment to justice and equity, establishing and maintaining an office of equity, and adopting a true cost of living measure. If the proposals pass, they'll provide new tools to promote equity and justice for all New Yorkers. They’ll bring new power, access, and opportunity to BIPOC residents. And they’ll create lasting capacity and accountability to achieve racial equity over the decades to come. Join members of the Racial justice Commission and other racial justice leaders to discuss the measures and their anticipated impacts.
Speakers Include:
● Jennifer Jones Austin, Chair, Racial Justice Commission; President, FPWA
● Henry Garrido, Vice-Chair, Racial Justice Commission; Executive Director, DC37
● Darrick Hamilton, Commissioner, Racial Justice Commission; Founder and Director, Institute for Race, Power and Political Economy at The New School
● Melanie Hart, Senior Vice President for Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice and Chief Diversity Officer, The New School
● Sideya Sherman, Commissioner, Mayor's Office of Equity
● Sam Stanton, Deputy Director of Policy and Legal Counsel, Racial Justice Commission
Moderated By: Richard R. Buery, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, The Robin Hood Foundation
