CNP Position on a Racial Justice Committee Recommendation Before the 227th General Assembly

Written By Amy Cerniglia

CNP is sharing recommendations on key items of business coming before the 227th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) from the Racial Justice Committee (RAC).

RAC-02 — Task Force to Review Implementation of Black Women and Girls Report

Approve

  • Calls for a task force to review whether the directives of the 2022 Black Women and Girls Task Force report have been implemented as the Assembly directed. The 2022 report devoted attention to the plight of Black trans and queer women and named the extraordinary risks they face.

  • Accountability for approved Assembly actions is a basic matter of integrity and good governance; unimplemented actions warrant understanding why and correcting course. Denominational leadership’s recent transitions and limited bandwidth should not be resolved by neglecting the most vulnerable.

  • Racial justice is inseparable from LGBTQIA+ justice.
