Acquiring and maintaining wealth becomes a racial issue when inheritance is interrupted - through unlawful seizure of lands, loss of property during refugee resettlement, disparity in compensation for land involved in eminent domain, or other circumstances that cause families of color to move.

Save the date for Sunday, January 28 at 11:45 a.m. to hear about potential remedies as Rev. Lou Bender, Leon Oman, and other Anti-Racism Task Force members share information and lead discussion about reparations. Included will be review of a legislative proposal in Minnesota to create a large Indian Recovery Fund through a small fee when land is bought and sold (deed tax) - something for which Central members will soon be able to advocate. If time permits, we will also do some brainstorming of other economic justice actions we can be involved in, as inspired by Pastor Chris's Adult Faith Formation talk earlier in the month.

The January 28 discussion will be held in the meeting lounge upstairs with a Zoom hybrid option available. Stay tuned to the eConnect for further details.
