My organizing partner and I are planning a community forum on reparations and we can't agree on whether to include opponents or focus on building consensus among supporters. She thinks platforming opposition legitimizes bad faith arguments, and I worry that preaching to the choir won't actually advance the conversation where it needs to happen.
More people experience this than they realize.
Activists must choose between expanding the conversation and protecting the community from having to repeatedly justify their right to redress.
“Where Are You with Reparations — the philosophical case?”
