SUMMARY:Reparations Conversation/UU Princeton on Zoom Oct. 29 7 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:Racial Justice Program: The Case for Reparations to Descendants of Enslaved People \n Have you been wondering what Reparations are all about? The ACLU believes the issue of reparations should be seriously considered by all Americans and some institutions have already taken action. Last year\, the Princeton Theological Seminary announced it had pledged to spend $27 million reparation on scholarships and other initiatives to address its historical ties to slavery\, in what appears to be the biggest effort of its kind. \nThe UU Congregation of Princeton Racial Justice Task Force has invited local attorney and activist\, Caroline Clarke\, Esq.\, to give her presentation with time for Q&A: \nDate and Time: Thursday\, October 29\, 2020 at 7 pm on zoom: \nPlease register in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJItcO2gpjssHNz23c1dpPKH43ByguyYI8re  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.  The program is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Racial Justice Speaker Series:  Brandon McKoy
DESCRIPTION:“America Will Be: Fulfilling our Nation’s Promise Through Targeted & Equitable Policy” \nCome hear New Jersey Policy Perspective’s President Brandon McKoy explain the impact of centuries of racism on federal\, state and local policy. This legacy racism has created implicit and explicit bias in our government policy and programs that keep many people vulnerable and disengaged. We have the opportunity to change the paradigm through government policy and budgeting that support equity and inclusion for all. This program is sponsored by the Racial Justice Ministry of UUCWC and is open to the public.

SUMMARY:“Drivers’ Licenses for the Undocumented”      by Alejandro Jaramillo
DESCRIPTION:Currently there is a proposed state law: it would create two types of driver’s; licenses: one compliant with the federal Real ID Act\, and one strictly for driving that would be issued to immigrants without legal status\, certain senior citizens and others who lack documentation. The proposed bill would allow immigrants living in the country without legal status to acquire a state driver’s license. The data would be confidential and not shared outside the state agency. Meanwhile\, more than half a million immigrants live in fear of being deported and separated from their families for driving a car in New Jersey. \nAlvaro works with Cosecha New Jersey\, which is a state chapter of a nationwide group which advocates for immigrants’ rights.

SUMMARY:“Value to the Soul: Voting Rights as a Human Right”      Ron Pierce\, NJ Institute for Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 8:45 am for coffee/tea and bagels. Dialogs begin at 9 am.\nOur Dialog series provides a forum for intellectual pursuit and rational thought as integral to our spiritual journeys at UUCMC. We welcome suggestions for speakers and topics. The series runs from October through May. \nThe right to vote preserves all other rights; it protects from a tyrannical system of government. Generationally silencing communities of color with a variety of techniques has led to segregated schools\, segregated housing\, segregated neighborhoods and segregated houses of worship. If we take away peoples’ voices\, we remove their ability to be productive and they become bargaining chips as they did in the eighties and nineties as Get Tough on Crime rhetoric led to more oppressive laws with greater sanctions to gain a few extra votes\, at the expense of the human dignity of those we would not allow a voice. \nRon was incarcerated for 30 years. Through the NJ Step program\, he earned college credits\, and after parole\, received a Justice Studies degree from Rutgers. The New Jersey Institute for Social Justice employs him as the Democracy and Justice Fellow. He has a passion to help lower the recidivism rate by working to change policies that create barriers formerly incarcerated individuals encounter while trying to reenter society. He has written articles\, co-written a play\, and has spoken in many places.

SUMMARY:NJ Spotlight Roundtable: Affordable Housing in New Jersey: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:More than 250 New Jersey municipalities have finalized with the courts and housing advocates plans that detail how many affordable homes they are allotting within their borders and where these units could be built. \nNot all of the proposed developments will happen. Towns are not obligated to build all the housing\, they simply need to allow for its construction. It’s not clear how many may be built as there is no longer a state agency overseeing the process. \nThis year\, for the first time in more than a decade\, a New Jersey governor has proposed depositing the full amount of fees received — about $60 million — into the state Affordable Housing Trust Fund in recognition of the need for more affordable housing. \nAt this NJ Spotlight roundtable experts will look briefly at the history of the affordable housing issue in New Jersey — from the Mount Laurel decisions to the current court process — and dive deeply into: \n\nWhere we are today regarding the state’s need for more affordable homes\nHow many more municipalities need to draft plans and how many units are planned?\nHow many homes are actually likely to be built? Where and when? Who’s going to pay for them?\nWhat are the prospects of the state retaking control of the process?\n\nAttendees may submit questions for consideration in advance of the event as part of the registration process. \nOpening remarks: \nPeter Reinhart\, Director\, Kislak Real Estate Institute\, Monmouth University \nPanelists: \nStaci Berger\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, Housing and Community Development Network of NJ \nChristiana Foglio\, Founder and Chief Executive Officer\, Community Investment Strategies \nAssemblywoman Holly T. Schepisi\, Assistant Republican Leader\, Member Joint Committee on Housing Affordability\, Member Joint Committee on Economic Justice and Equal Employment Opportunity\, Member Housing and Community Development Committee \nKevin Walsh\, Executive Director\, Fair Share Housing Center \nAdditional panelist to be named. \nModerator: \nColleen O’Dea\, Editor at Large\, NJ Spotlight
