Dear Friend, Please join me on Wednesday evening for my African American town hall.
A lot has happened since Donald Trump has become president. In the past few months, we’ve seen exactly what the African American community has to lose. The truth of the matter is that we have decades of progress at stake.
I believe that in all of his regressive policies — on civil rights, health care, education, voting rights, environmental justice — the president is endangering our communities and cementing institutional racism.
It’s up to us to shed a light on these injustices.
Where: Phillip Reeder Performing Arts Center at Castlemont High School, 8601 MacArthur Blvd., Oakland, CA 94605
When: Wednesday, August 2nd, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Speakers: Congresswoman Barbara Lee, National Urban League President Marc Morial, and members of our community
Take care,
December 8, 2009 - "U.S. Agrees to Settle Lawsuit Brought by Native Americans for $3.4 Billion"
The United States federal government announced that it intends to pay $3.4 billion to settle claims that it has mismanaged the revenue in American Indian trust funds. In 2012, it finalized this settlement, ending one of the largest and most complicated class-action lawsuits ever brought against the United States. The lawsuit lasted 15 years in total and involved hundreds of thousands of land trust accounts that date back to the 19th century. Specialists in federal tribal law described the suit as one of the most important in the history of legal disputes involving the government's treatment of American Indians.
