Description: This event brings together a film screening and panel discussion to examine the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action as a living framework for reparatory justice. The session will revisit the DDPA’s core principles, obligations, instruments, and its relevance today. Linking global commitments to local struggle through a screening of the documentary short,
Pay Up, Get Out of the Way, the event will highlight evidence of government-sanctioned harm in Baltimore, a US city heavily targeted for racial repression. Panelists will discuss the idea of reparations as personhood and its implementation in reparative action and local, national, and international accountability.
