Fund for Reparations NOW!

We are so excited to be working with @ReparationsComm, @proctorconf, and the Elaine Legacy Center to begin a process of reparatory justice for the #ElaineMassacre on 1919 - one of the deadliest incidents of racial violence in US history! #reparations #ReparationsNOW

Today @coribush introduced a resolution supporting overdue reparations for Black Americans! The time is now for the US gov to apologize and enact reparations !#enactreparations #HR40 #Socialjustice #BlackLeaders #BlackLeaders #OwnUp #PayIn #better #ReparationsNow

We want to address @NPR reporter @JenniferLudden for their article on “why most Americans oppose reparations” from last week. There’s some important data that was left out of the article. Also, headlines are important for creating cultural rhetoric and this one was white centric.

Money can’t fix everything…AND reparations are so much deeper than just $$$! #Reparations & #ReparationsNOW! #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #Antiracism

Let’s keep the conversation going because Reparations are not only necessary, but entirely possible!#Reparations & #ReparationsNOW! #BlackLivesMatter #BLM

@BrownHist @KeishaBlain @BrownGradSchool Like bricks for example. We've begun to work with the Descendants of the Chattahoochee brick company. The bricks out of Atlanta were made by convict lease labor made possible by the 13th amendment. Just like slavery. Bricks. From the era that grew both Coca-Cola & Wells Fargo.

This country still owes black people. @ZerlinaMaxwell #Reparations #HR40 #TheBigPayback

Why isn't racial repair at the center of every spiritual and religious movement in this nation?

The U.S. government once set up a bank for formerly enslaved people to deposit their new earnings. It ended with one of the biggest robberies in American history — and its impact is still felt today.

True t’shuva: Catholic Church should make reparations to Canada’s Indigenous communities in the same manner as Germany In Jewish tradition, an apology is only part of the repentance process t’shuva. thestar.com/opinion/contri… via @torontostar

@juliaduin @Newsweek @JemarTisby @NCOBRA40 Thank you for sharing this story - so much good work is happening to create repair, and it's so valuable for the world to see it!

Please read my story (bit.ly/3OMBVZY) in @Newsweek on how churches are going ahead with #reparations ahead of the government. I quote @JemarTisby and @NCOBRA40 among others.

Reparations? Weary of the federal government to act, a growing number of religious groups are spearheading their own restitution programs for Black Americans #Echobox=1659275526-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsweek.com/2022/08/05/gro…

@Newsweek It's really exciting to see so much momentum from institutions to seek repair; we want to see more and bigger forms, but this is an exciting opportunity to build models, see what works, and create some actual healing across many communities. #ReparationsNOW

There is a groundswell of support for reparations - let's keep the ball rolling! #reparationsNOW abcnews.go.com/US/college-cam…

@EdCamp486 This momentum is so exciting!
