Reparative Review Dear Community, During this time, we wish you ease as we all process and struggle for a world free of violence. When we started this work in Ferguson, MO, almost a decade ago, our vision was a world free of state-sanctioned violence. We invited people to tell the truth because we knew the impact of stories about our lives heals and brings the sacred to our attention. Let us recognize the sacred and demand an end to war and violence. Join us in solidarity with Palestinians, Haitians, Sudanese, Congolese, and Israeli people who are standing up for peace, despite what their governments are doing. The people, united, will never be divided. Let's join in the abolition of war - in our hearts, minds, and national budgets. Repair, sometimes shortened from reparations, provides the first clue about what attention and recovery of the past might provide clarity in the present and the future.

The Sankofa bird is symbolic of going back to retrieve what was lost. We are reliving a past engulfed by war because our societies have refused to end colonialism. Love is the most powerful decolonial possibility. rue love requires us to never throw away human life, to believe in the possibility and sacredness of people and our planet. Let's walk together into the opening that telling the truth and engaging in reparations provide. In love and struggle,
