Resolves of the Executive Council

Resolved, That the Executive Council, meeting from June 8-11, 2020, adopts the Becoming Beloved Community Rapid-Response Grants as was created by The Presiding Officers' Advisory Group on Becoming Beloved Community Implementation, authorizing a special grant cycle to address systemic racism and racial violence in two urgent areas: the racial disparities laid bare by the coronavirus pandemic, which disproportionately affects People of Color in terms of health outcomes, access to testing and treatment, safe work environments, and more. At the same time, there is also the pandemic of ongoing violence directed against Black People and other People of Color, especially at the hands of law enforcement personnel in communities in the Americas and beyond.

The BBC Rapid Response grants would come out of Line 84, with a budget of $100,000.
