What We're Doing

As we gear up for the inaugural Truth and Conciliation Junetenth Summit (June 16-18, 2021), each week we are revealing our phenomenal presenters who will join us. Our first distinguished guest is Mark Charles, a former 2020 candidate for U.S. President. 

Mark Charles is a speaker, writer, and consultant. The son of an American woman (of Dutch heritage) and a Navajo man, Mark teaches the complexities of American history regarding race, culture, and Christendom in order to help forge a path of healing and conciliation for the nation. In 2012, Mark hosted a public reading at the US Capitol of the buried apology to Native peoples in the 2010 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill given by the 111th Congress. He is the co-author of the book, Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery, and he authors the blog Reflections from the Hogan. He is a co-founder of the Would Jesus Eat Frybread? college-conference series and has served on the boards of the Christian Reformed Church of North America and the Christian Community Development Association. In 2020, Mark ran as an independent candidate for the presidency of the United States, advocating for a Truth and Conciliation Commission – a formal and national dialogue on issues of race, gender, and class.

This inaugural summit seeks to lay a foundation for a national narrative shift towards conciliation in the United States. Additionally, it will provide attendees with tools for truth telling, unlearning, and accountability for building an anti-racist society. Foci for the summit includes discussions on formations of structural racism within the shaping of Democracy, the law/government, faith/religion, housing, education, medicine/healthcare, wealth building, as well as land possession and environment.

Just two months shy of the first anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act by 8 votes. It is one of the first times in history that mass reform in policing across the country has been considered and prepared to move out of the House of Representatives. While it still needs to be considered by the Senate to ever become law, Americans plagued by violence and lack of accountability in policing are witnessing growth in momentum for structural reform. But will reform be enough?

Whether to reform as opposed to dismantling to build fresh and new are questions at the heart of conciliatory work and practice. And we want to probe these kinds of questions with you. To commemorate the first anniversary of the Truth and Conciliation Commission, we are hosting a virtual Juneteenth Summit (June 16-18, 2021) and invite you to participate. We are gathering anti-racism practitioners, grassroots organizers, and like-minded movement builders from across the nation to lay a foundation for a national narrative shift towards conciliation in the United States. Additionally, we will provide attendees with tools for truth-telling, unlearning, and accountability for building an anti-racist society. So please, save the dates!

Share with your family, neighbors, and larger community the need for a federal Truth and Conciliation Commission led by and for the people. No one else needs ever to become another hashtag of mourning because of deeply rooted and systemic racism. It’s past time that we tell the truth and begin the work of building a conciliatory future.
