This new interactive map tracks reparations initiatives and movement partners, demonstrating the scope, power, and success of the local reparations movement.
Organizations and campaigns included on the map are diverse across liable institutions, harm areas and more, but share a common goal of advancing reparations.
U.S. Reparations Monthly Brief
Together with African American Redress Network, FirstRepair hosts monthly national and regional strategy sessions. These have become vital channels of information sharing, requests and responses for assistance, and critical networks. Each month, we provide a summary of activity in the local reparations movement.
Research & resources
The Transatlantic Slave Trade is the foundation of sustained disparate conditions in the Black community throughout the United States. Over 400 years after the first Africans were enslaved in America and over 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the Black community remains incredibly resilient, yet disenfranchised, underserved, over-policed and generally oppressed by institutions and systems operating today. The various resources below provide an overview of the injustices faced by Blacks in America, both historically and today, and reparative actions being taken to deliver “real justice” to the Black
community.
