Kamilah Moore noted that while half of the reparations bills were passed, this is both a success due to the recommendations by the taskforce and a setback as other valuable bills did not pass, highlighting the mixed nature of progress.
The reparations taskforce worked for two years compiling evidence and drafting recommendations, demonstrating a significant effort to address historical injustices faced by Black Californians, yet legislative outcomes were less than complete.
The passage of six out of fourteen priority reparations bills is a historic milestone, signaling a shift in the legislative landscape, but also underscores the ongoing challenges and complexities surrounding the fight for comprehensive reparative justice.
Moore emphasizes the need for continued commitment to the reparations initiative and the critical role of upcoming elections in shaping future opportunities for reparations legislation and broader systemic change.
