Reparations for Black and indigenous people are a critical step toward counterbalancing the devastating financial impacts of white supremacy. Join Tompkins County SURJ for an evening at Cinemapolis to learn about reparations in general, a success story from Evanston Illinois, and local efforts around wealth redistribution.
Admission is free! (Donations welcome.) The agenda for the evening entails:
A panel discussion with organizers and partners of the RWW campaign about reparations and local efforts to redistribute wealth to support racial justice goals.
A short video about Tompkins County SURJ's Redistributing White Wealth campaign, featuring our partner organizations.
A showing of The Big Payback, a documentary about the successful campaign to compensate descendants of enslaved Africans in Evanston, Illinois (1h 28m).
