We educate about and facilitate Community Based Reparations where privileged folks return resources (reparations) and make amends for (micro)aggressions (generational, societal and personal) to marginalized folks through our organization. We are the bridge because interacting directly with privileged folks can be draining, emotional, triggering, performative and fake causing exulansis based fatigue.
Learn more about reparations.
We are creating a world that is accountable for past harms including slavery, colonialism, genocide, and other material, emotional, spiritual and moral abuses. We uplift faith-based, curative and ethically centered frameworks that demand accountability for the past and present world created by slavery.
We aim to create a culture of reparations that emerges from spiritual practice, transformative education and sustained action.
Join us to commemorate freedom. Freedom, storically refers to the largest event of emancipation of enslaved people in “Savannah, Georgia” after the Civil War. The event led to Field Order Fifteen (Forty Acres and a Mule), which was later revoked.
We believe reparations is a spiritual practice – join us in our efforts to create a culture of repair. #BeginWithReparations
We require all pale (white/European) folks in our community to GIVE reparations. As marginalized people we can not simply budget our way out of poverty. We need your ongoing support. If you are unable to meet our needs, remove yourself from our community. Because all you are doing is perpetuating harm. Which is problematic and dismissive.

Truth Telling
Learn the truth about colonization and chattel slavery. Learn your family and ethnic role in the economic conquest of oppression. Learn the current ways you contribute to anti-blackness. Share your story and truth with your peers who have similar identities as yours.
Take An Oath
Before you make a soul binding Oath. Get consent from a Buddy to hold you accountable on your journey. Choose an Oath that is obtainable over the next 1-5 years.
Oaths are
- action based solidarity measures
- move the collective whole towards liberation for all and utopia
- edge play. pushing towards the edges of or beyond your comforts (materially, emotionally, and physically)
- supported by peers with similar identities (Buddy)
- to be held with pride and spoken of openly
In a ceremonial way present your Oath to the Universe/Spiritual Realm binding yourself to a specific action(s) for up to 5 years.
If your Oath no longer serves you, it can be voided once one single large, edge pushing action (agreed upon with your Buddy) is completed. Then reflect with your Buddy on why your Oath did not serve you and what you can do to better use your life in service to marginalized folks.
