    The document summarizes notes from a small group discussion on issues of land, work, and freedom as they relate to racial inequities. Key topics discussed include the historical restriction of black people's access to land through practices like redlining and racial covenants; the loss of black wealth through predatory loans and the mortgage crisis; the links between gentrification and police violence; and the criminalization of conditions of work that maintain the precarity of black communities. The group also discussed the ongoing struggle for freedom from oppression and the ability to determine one's own destiny in the face of systemic racism and capitalism's efforts to present itself as post-racial.
