Imagine More: Racial Justice Begins with Us Series: Session 1: Eliminating the Racial Wealth Gap and Ending Poverty
CNJG is pleased to join The Fund for New Jersey and partners in this virtual series.
IMAGINE MORE: Racial Justice Begins with Us brings together one of the largest and most diverse lineups of New Jersey organizations and voices from across the ideological spectrum to develop an action plan for racial justice and reparations. Participants include national thought leaders, philanthropic and community-based organizations, policy advocates, jurists, and local activists who have been directly impacted by injustice. Through a series of 6 events, we will educate the public on reparations and how remedying racial injustice will create a more stable and prosperous future for all of New Jersey.
This is the first installment in the IMAGINE MORE: Racial Justice Begins with Us virtual series. This session will explore the roots of the racial wealth gap and outline reparative strategies to ensure that every New Jerseyan can prosper.
