San Francisco's Last Call for Black LGBT Reparations Listening Session

The San Francisco African-American Reparations Task Force is nearing the end of its mission to bring justice to the Black community. With this, the task force is aiming to complete its report by June 2, 2023. The Task Force recognizes the strong voice that the Black LGBT community holds. Thus, several listening sessions have been held with the Black LGBT communities to ensure that their unique perspectives are accounted for in the report. The last listening session will be held on June 1, 2023, to kick off Pride Month.

Reparations for Black people have become an increasingly important topic in the United States due to the long history of systemic racism that has impacted the Black community. The questioning around what reparations will apply to the Black LGBT community has been posed. Although, the qualification process in reparations does have potential to account for Black LGBT community members and their experiences through healthcare, incarceration, education, access to capital, equity and equality, sexuality, and gender.






Further progress in including the Black LGBT community's perspective is being called for in the upcoming listening session. This session aims to keep Black LGBT issues at the forefront of the push for reparations. Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences and bring awareness to any unique issues that the Black LGBT community faces. Moreover, sharing the session and inviting other Black LGBT community members to the listening session will be an important way to increase the voice of the community.


The conversation that will be held about Black LGBT specific reparations in San Francisco will center on individuals who have lived, worked, or have family history in the city. The report will be based on Black-defined recommendations and finalized with support from outside groups. The premise of the session revolves around the goal of being able to include as many recommendations as possible in the final Reparations report before the deadline in June 2023.


This session will be held through Zoom at 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm PST on June 1, 2023, and any Black LGBT person can RSVP at https://bit.ly/black-lgbt-reparations-sf. San Francisco's recognition of all Black issues, including the specific needs of the Black LGBT community, highlights the importance of these discussions beyond reparations. It is vital for Black LGBT individuals to know that their voices are heard during this process.



As the deadline for San Francisco's Reparations report looms, the last reparations listening session aimed at the Black LGBT community will be held on June 1, 2023. It will give the Black LGBT community the opportunity to share their unique experiences and contribute to the final report. This report will serve as a source of justice for the Black community, addressing systemic racism and the issues caused by it. Now is the time to take action to ensure that the Black LGBT community's voice is heard, and recommendations are made to govern on their behalf. Your attendance and sharing of the event will play a significant role in ensuring that your collective recommendations are taken into account in the final Reparations report. Let us encourage each other to join hands and take action to drive change in our community's interest.



In conclusion, while the duelling prides in Los Angeles appear to be a sign of division, they signify something more critical - the community's need for inclusivity. The events are a chance for people to come together to celebrate their differences, their similarities, and their love for each other. It's essential that every segment of the community listens to each other's needs and works towards unity. Let's be inclusive, let's be supportive, and let's be proud.
