Guarding the Promise of Reparative Justice
AR1870 helped shepherd into law the nation's only current lineage-based reparations study — and now oversees its implementation.
Public funds were allocated. A historic study was authorized. Oversight now determines whether the outcome reflects its original intent. Stand with us as we monitor the Reparations Study Group and ensure it delivers the integrity, accuracy, and accountability our ancestors — and our future — deserve.
Defend the Promise
The study was won through hard-fought advocacy. It must remain open and accountable to the community it was designed to serve.
Protect the Process
Leaders should carry the will of the people forward — not stand in the way of progress. We are watching, and we are on record.
Your Voice Counts
Add your name to ensure reparative justice stays on course. Public accountability starts with the community demanding it.
