Dayvon Love, Director of Public Policy at Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle (LBS), joins the show to discuss Governor Wes Moore’s veto of Maryland’s Reparations Study Bill (SB 587). The bill would have created a commission to develop a concrete roadmap for reparations for slavery and other historic and ongoing forms of systemic racism. Love explains why the veto blocks the only process designed to produce actionable proposals—from land and property acquisition to investment in Black-owned financial institutions—and why it undermines meaningful steps toward Black self-determination. He also breaks down the ongoing effort to override the veto and why building political pressure from a grassroots movement is essential to advancing the fight for reparations. #breakthroughnews
