 n Fund will host a fireside chat on Thursday\, March 7 at 2 PM ET with Jer
 emy Bearer-Friend and Alvin Velazquez\, (SEIU) moderated by Ericka Taylor 
 (Take On Wall Street and Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund). B
 earer-Friend authored a novel proposal for how to pay for reparations. His
  approach proposes capitalizing a multi-trillion dollar reparations fund w
 ith corporate equity in lieu of cash payments.\n\nJoin us as we explore th
 e important questions Bearer-Friend’s proposal raises about how to actua
 lly design the governance of the proposed reparations fund to maximize its
  benefits to its intended beneficiaries and prevent the fund from being co
 -opted by the financial industry to further its own interests. Velazquez w
 ill discuss experiences labor unions have had with pension funds\, and wha
 t lessons can be drawn from them to inform the design of a reparations fun
 d’s governance.\n\nSpeakers\n\nEricka Taylor\, Director of Popular Educa
