There is no better time than now to demand reparations. While we honor the bravery in Black August, we should also demand solutions to the problem of white supremacy.

Reparations are about the need and demand for an overdue repair of the historical and ongoing damage to descendants of Africans enslaved in the United States. For our folks, this is about never forgetting the experiences of our ancestors.

When systems of white supremacy go unaddressed, we end up with various forms of harm against Black people.

The lack of accountability on the U.S. government's part is why we're still seeing policies that are quite literally made to hold Black people down.

We've said it many times before: Black Lives Mattering is the minimum. We deserve to thrive, not just survive. Sign the petition demanding reparations from the government >>
