Community Engagement and Activation

Healing, repair and movement building through the creation of shared safe spaces where stories, truth, acknowledgement, and commitment occur.

Grounded in the elements of the United Nations principle of satisfaction, Reparation Generation (RepGen) provides forums that bring together rooms of Americans (virtual and in person) to:

  1. Center U.S. history, present-day inequity, and the harms caused by the institution of slavery, its ongoing legacy, and other institutional systems of racism to Black People in the U.S.
  2. Provide participants with forums, trainings, and support for acknowledging and apologizing for associated participation and/or benefit from these systems in a manner that is satisfactory to Black Americans.
  3. Educate about Reparations in Action and provide a reparative framework for individuals, corporations, and foundations to make transfers of wealth to support Reparations in real time.
  4. Increase awareness, support, and advocacy for Reparations and provide a community to participate in actionable programs that will support a Federal Reparations Program.

HOW THIS PROGRAM AIDS THE NATIONAL REPARATIONS MOVEMENT:

By gathering in small and large rooms, engaging and mobilizing these Reparations supporters and their networks, we increase support for the movement. While CEA activities often focus on activating white people to support Reparations, non-white people are welcome and regularly engage in our CEA activities. Creating effective multiracial spaces that support Reparations provides the National Reparations Movement with examples of collaboration and mutual support. Additionally, CEA activities provide a pathway for people to learn how everyday citizens can support Black Americans right now by making a reparative transfer of wealth and voicing their support for reparative justice.

 

Varying studies show between 15-20% of white Americans support a federal Reparations Program.

 

RepGen believes this means nearly 40 million white Americans already support Reparations.

 

HOW IT WORKS

For more than 400 years, Black People have borne the majority of the emotional and physical labor in the movement for Reparations. While we believe the Reparations movement must remain Black-led, we must increase broad support in order to pass a Federal Reparations Program. RepGen’s CEA Program holds house meetings (in person and virtual) and community presentations and uses newsletters, social media, and more to engage Americans in the ideas of repair, moving supporters from Reparations Curious to Reparations Activated. These CEA activities help folks “Meet RepGen,” exchange personal stories and learn about individual, corporate, and philanthropic support for Reparations in Action. From engagement to activation, RepGen’s CEA Program seeks to steward Americans into the larger Reparations movement.

KEY FINDINGS

  • Through CEA, RepGen has:
    • Engaged directly with hundreds of Americans.
    • Successfully secured significant financial support for programming and reparative transfers from individual contributors.
  • A majority of participants say their support for Reparations increased after engaging in a CEA activity.
  • CEA activities assist with building communication lists for future activation.

Program to Date & Key Findings

In Person House Meetings - Individual financial supporters of RepGen invite their network of Reparations Curious folks into their homes, cafes, and community and implement RepGen’s designed CEA program. These small meetings foster connection, engage attendees in truth-telling, and deepen individuals' engagement with the work of Reparations. At these meetings, we also share our “Reparations in action” approach and how it advances the broader Reparations movement. Virtual House Meetings - RepGen organizes bi-monthly virtual house meetings via Zoom with participants from across the country. This forum is designed for the Reparations Curious to engage in facilitated conversations that deepen commitment to reparative efforts. Virtual Learning Forums: Through video conferencing tools, RepGen organizes bi-monthly “Reparations Deep Dives” targeted at the Reparations Activated. These forums delve into a particular topic of importance related to RepGen’s work or the Reparations movement at large. Presentations/Panels/Speaking Opportunities - RepGen engages in opportunities to speak about our Reparations In Action approach to organizations and individuals for community gatherings, faith-based congregations, and more.

Future Iterations

RepGen intends to expand our capacity to organize more CEA events through increased staffing, community organizing, and developing new tools for organizations and communities to effectively mobilize support for a Federal Reparations Act.

Support community gatherings that power the reparations movement.
