A major reparations advocate has a seat on Joe Biden's transition team. Baradaran is an outspoken advocate of reparations for black Americans, both as a means of correcting "white supremacy" and closing the racial wealth gap. Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) dodged questions about reparations throughout the 2020 cycle. "Dear Kamala, Reparations or go home," she wrote in June 2019. "Biden just dodged that reparations question like a much nimbler and younger man," she said in December 2019, referencing a Democratic primary debate.
