As a field catalyst accelerating the movement working towards reparations for slavery and its legacies, Liberation Ventures mobilizes resources, spreads narratives, and strengthens movement capacity to make comprehensive reparations common sense and commonplace in our lifetime. Since 2021, Liberation Ventures has mobilized $14 million in grants to more than 50 movement partners across the country. Donate and support the movement here.
Ready to move from passive awareness of reparations to active support? The best place to start is in your own life! Join Liberation Ventures’ work to understand reparations through the lens of everyday repair. This campaign is an invitation to all Americans to practice repair in their daily lives – with stories, exercises, reading and listening suggestions to stay on track.
