Community Engagement and Activation

Community Connections & Support for the National Reparations Movement

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

Grounded in 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 and its ongoing legacy, denial of Constitutional rights, and other institutional systems that have caused harm.
  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 reparative models that demonstrate Reparations in Action and provide a reparative framework for individuals, corporations, and foundations to make charitable contributions as transfers of wealth to support Reparations in real time.
  4. Increase awareness, support, belief and action among Americans for Reparations for Black American descendants, providing pathways to participate in actionable programs that will support a Federal Reparations Program.

HOW THIS PROGRAM AIDS THE NATIONAL REPARATIONS MOVEMENT:

From engagement to activation, RepGen’s CEA Program builds, one room at a time, connections and community and provides meaningful support of all Americans in the larger Reparations Movement.

In small and large rooms, engaging and mobilizing interested Americans, these gatherings build Reparations supporters. While CEA activities often focus on activating white people to support Reparations, all 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 see how everyday citizens can support repair right now by making a charitable contribution as part of a reparative transfer of wealth and by 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 35 million white Americans already support Reparations.

 

HOW IT WORKS

For more than 400 years, Black People descendants of enslaved people shouldered the majority of the physical and emotional labor in the movement for Reparations. We must increase and organize the broad support necessary to pass a Federal Reparations Program. RepGen’s CEA Program holds house meetings (in person and virtual), community presentations, workshops and trainings, and uses newsletters, social media, and more to engage and move Americans 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 a 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 charitable 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, organizing more CEA events to effectively mobilize support for a Federal Reparations Act.

Support community gatherings that power the reparations movement.
