We are launching our fourth round of the Home Ownership Reparative Transfer (HORT) Program in Metro Detroit. Applicants are required to attend one of the seven virtual orientations between August 4-28.
This orientation will:
“Slavery didn’t end in 1865, it just evolved.” – Bryan Stevenson
Slavery and its vestiges harm our entire nation. Reparations are key to our healing and our democracy. We invite you to gather with others in this spirit for our Nat’l Monthly Virtual House Meetings. You’ll learn and get updates about our “reparations in action” approach, the broader reparations movement, and how you can make a difference. Each month we “Deep Dive” into a particular reparations topic, resource or skill of importance. See below for details and to register.
We’re thrilled that Lotte Lieb Dula, Co Founder of Reparations4Slavery (R4S), is joining us for Deep Dives into the many aspects of the racial wealth gap. In each session you’ll watch a video from Lotte’s new 15-module series, “Uncovering History, Walking the Path of Repair.” The videos give the historical overview and present day reality of racialized wealth inequality. You’ll learn about tools to further research the conditions in your own family and community.
“Repair requires that we investigate how wealth, land, and opportunity were accumulated through stolen labor and enforced exclusion. The legacies of slavery and Jim Crow persist — present in every policy, neighborhood, and net worth disparity. Transformation begins when we confront how these structures live within us, our families, and the places we call home”. – Reparations4Slavery.com
We welcome all who are reparations curious, ready or activated!
Continuing and expanding this work together – with love, care and resilience – is critical at this time. Please invite 2-3 others to register along with you.
