January 7th, 7:00 PM - Reparations Consensus Meeting Q&A, on Zoom. Please register here. At this members-only event, the Reparations Consensus Study facilitators will preview the questions, give some background information, and allow plenty of time for members to talk, ask questions and think about the consensus process.

January 12th, 1:30-3:30 - Reparations Consensus Meeting, Jones Library Woodbury Room. This members-only event is the one and only reparations consensus meeting for the Amherst League. Come and deliberate with the group about reparations and the LWV.

The LWVMA has prepared a Study Guide on Reparations with Consensus Questions. A local committee is in the process of meeting to discuss the best way to help our Amherst members prepare for the consensus meetings which will be held in the new year. You will be hearing from them soon. In the meantime, you can look at the materials.
