The Redress Movement will work with local communities to research and document the history of racial housing segregation in the area. We will organize alongside local activists and provide resources for research, and the assistance of a trained researcher.
We will share our popular education resources that have been developed and created to have conversations across the racial divide. We will work collaboratively with communities to build the public will for changes to redress and remedy the multigenerational impact of segregation.
Finally, we will move people into non-violent action campaigns to win reforms that significantly improve the lives of African American families. The goal is to move large numbers of local people into effective action to win reforms that have specific, significant, and scalable impact and establish a model for what can be done across the country.
