A Fund for the Reparations Movement: Building a Culture of Repair
Channel: SOCAP Global
Date: 2023-07-21

Following the enthusiastic response to Liberation Ventures’ SOCAP22 workshop, Reimagining Reparations, we continued this critical conversation online. 

While the issue of reparations has gained considerable momentum, many define reparations narrowly, as cash payments relegated to the public sector and only benefitting Black people.

Liberation Ventures thinks differently. Their organization is building a multiracial democracy that works for everyone by making racial repair a reality in the U.S.

Reparations for slavery and its legacy is not just about money or policy; reparations are comprehensive repairs and require shifting narratives and, ultimately, culture. Building a culture of repair across sectors benefits not just Black people but catalyzes a truly multiracial democracy – for all of us.

On Tuesday, June 6, 2023, Aria Florant of Liberation Ventures and Christiaan Vorkink of True Ventures joined SOCAP Global’s Michelle Arevalo-Carpenter for a virtual conversation to discuss Liberation Ventures’ work and growth, how SOCAP22 propelled its mission, and how others can build their understanding and make progress. 

Learn how to apply Liberation Ventures’ framework for racial repair to their organization and impact in the world.
