We are a network of Black leaders building a land-based movement and committed to being in our full dignity as we raise the resources we need to plant the seeds of self-determination.
We no longer desire to acquire resources via the institutional pipeline that holds the bulk of financial resources in this country; instead, we ask that you apply to take part in our work.
In building Reparations Summer we’ve learned a lot, and we’d like to share more about our folks and our values while also setting a clear boundary that we will not perform or overshare to prove our funding worthiness to the white gaze.
To be able to receive, share, and witness the impact of reparations on another human being confirms what we all know: it matters. Reparations matter. People can live with repair, but the repair has to be heartfelt and really can’t just be a check. Reparations is not a surprise gift; it’s a long term adjustment to the soul.
