There’s a powerful and growing faith-based reparations movement in Minnesota. As white men for racial justice, the Minnesota chapter of WMRJ wants to work with other reparations activists and organizations to find out how they can be of service to the exciting reparations movements led by BIPOC. Their plan is for a hybrid experience (based at a Twin Cities location and online) that will serve as a live resource mapping, listening and learning experience for everyone interested. The gathering point is George Floyd Square with a unifying chant:
“Down down deportations
Up up reparations”
