Time of Reckoning presents the Policy Action Roundtable!

Centering Black led solutions & Accountability from government leaders

From December 2020 to May 2021, Time of Reckoning has hosted four critical community healing and policy action engagements that aim to illustrate to the nation what community-centered policy change can look like.

For our final forum in the series, we invite the Black community to join key policymakers in centering Black led solutions and accountability from government leaders. This session presents the opportunity to hear from Commissioner Rebecca Lucero, Commissioner John Harrington, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins and other leaders about their plans to usher in positive, systemic change that address the criminal justice system and its collateral consequences on the Black family.

Black community members, please join the event via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88907356110

About

Time of Reckoning is a series of community engagement and healing justice sessions that culminate in a Black-led town hall and policy action roundtable focusing on the criminal justice system and its collateral consequences. The culminating event will include local policy makers who have the power or influence to implement the recommendations brought forth by the community through this process.

Convened by the community and co-chaired by Dr. Brittany Lewis of Research in Action (RIA) and Dr. Joi Lewis of Joi Unlimited, this work was spurred by the murder of Mr. George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD). This process is an opportunity for true “radical re-imagining” of what is possible within our collective efforts to advance racial justice.
