Every person’s journey to racial justice is different, and Joni Tedesco and Marie Lowry are no exception. Growing up just miles apart, Joni and Marie had different exposures to systemic racism and injustice—yet in 2025, they have come together as monthly financial contributors and House Meeting hosts to demonstrate the power of Reparations to promote healing and true repair in our communities. Read the full story on their engagement.
Lotte Lieb Dula’s journey to becoming a reparationist began abruptly—after she learned of her ancestors’ history of slaveholding, she felt compelled to pursue repair and healing using the advantages and skills accumulated over generations. Lotte’s findings set her on a path to self-discovery that would both upend her identity and allow her to both give and receive in her relationships with African American friends, colleagues, and reparationists—the foundation of true repair. Learn more about her journey and support of Reparations in Action.
In the mid-1800s, Dave the Potter produced durable pieces that brought wealth and notoriety to his enslavers and to Edgefield, South Carolina.

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.

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.
