From December 4-9 2022 the United Nations launched the first meeting of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, a new body charged with guiding the UN in work to end racial discrimination and systemic racism and to develop concrete steps and action plans to further reparatory justice. Delegate Justin Hansford sees the Forum as a potential "instrument of liberation" that will require continued struggle by grassroots communities to push forward needed changes. Our Human Rights Cities Alliance is committed to working to support local actions that reinforce the Forum's work and engage cities and municipal officials in its transformative agenda.
- Address by Human Rights Cities Alliance Steering Committee member, Ms. Tiffany Roberts of the Southern Center for Human Rights to the Inaugural Meeting of the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, December 8, 2022 (~3 min.) This intervention includes an invitation on behalf of the U.S. Human Rights Cities Alliance Steering Committee to members of the Permanent Forum to attend the May 2022 Human Rights Cities Leadership Summit in Atlanta, where Black-led organizations will gather to explore ways to build upon and support the work of the Permanent Forum.
