Operationalizing Justice: How to Make Reparations a Reality Now

Posted by Leigh Morrison | Apr 29, 2021 | Features, Operationalizing Justice, Recent Posts | 0

Supporting reparations requires circumventing these “distancing” barriers by unlearning capitalist, individualist mindsets into which most of us in the U.S. have been deeply socialized. It is incumbent upon us to take action as individuals and organizations to prove that reparations are possible and to address harm in our communities where our representatives fail to do so. People continue to be harmed every day as a result of collective inaction on reparations, and we have the power to change this. Reparations is as real as you make it.

The corporate leaders who spoke out against voter suppression this month do not deserve pats on the back.

We’ve all heard it. For some of us it may prompt curiosity; others feel a familiar sense of dread, or even trauma set in when they hear it. I’m talking about the infamous, “Okay, but let’s play ‘devil’s advocate’ for a moment….” Here’s the thing: we desperately need people to play devil’s advocate. “Provocateur.” By all means, step into this role; think outside the box; push the boundaries! Just please, hear me out when I say, you’re likely doing it wrong.
