New Jersey senator and presidential candidate Cory Booker plans to introduce a bill that would explore reparations for descendants of slaves.
New Jersey senator and presidential candidate Cory Booker is set to introduce a Senate bill that would look into slavery reparations.
I am proud to introduce legislation that will finally address many of our country's policies—rooted in a history of slavery and white supremacy—that continue to erode Black communities, perpetuate racism and implicit bias, and widen the racial wealth gap.https://t.co/5x7bdfncbZBooker-Dawson: Will Cory Booker and Rosario Dawson wed? He says, 'I am hopeful, as is my mother'
Other candidates like Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Julián Castro voiced their support for reparations but offered few other details. I’ve been unapologetic in my belief that this can’t just be about acknowledging the past. It needs to be about actually confronting racist policy that persists right now in the present. Because if we don’t, we cannot guarantee that our future will be any different than our past. https://t.co/fn6oRG9y9B
Much of Booker's campaign has hinged on social justice issues, including legalizing marijuana and expunging criminal records for marijuana-related crimes. In February, Booker co-sponsored the Marijuana Justice Act, which would end the federal prohibition on marijuana.
