Racial Justice 2020: Voting & Building Power for a Just Future
Date: February 19, 2020
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Event Description
With major primaries coming up, it’s important that voters who care about racial justice understand where the candidates stand on our issues. The next president must be willing to articulate a clear vision for racial justice that counters the conservative’s white identity agenda that is harming Black and Brown communities and that threatens to define the new decade. The Center for Urban and Racial Equity’s 2020 Racial Justice Presidential Scorecard encapsulates key components of this vision for equity and justice and tracks and scores the major candidates’ policy positions on voting rights, health care, education, reparations, environmental justice, criminal justice, immigration and other issues to help voters make an informed decision ahead of this year’s pivotal election. ? Join the South Florida People of Color and the Center for Urban and Racial Equity’s Dr. Judy Lubin for a dialogue on the presidential candidates stance on racial justice issues based on CURE’s Presidential Scorecard. A panel discussion will follow with Dwight Bullard, New Florida Majority, Jo Hanna “J” Thompson, National Black Women’s Justice Institute, Ruban Roberts, NAACP, Frances Menes, The Black Colliciaton and Moderated by Charlton Copeland, Professor of Law & Dean's Distinguished Scholar at UM. ? Wine bar by Robert Bourne Real Estate.
