Advocate... Author... Curator of the 40 Acres and a Mule Tour, 1-Day and 2-Day Experience: ReparationsSunday.info/event…

Atlanta, GA
A great step in the direction of reparations would be a wealth tax, and that will definitely be on the ballot in 2028. Doubt either of eventual nominees will advocate for it openly, although it’s possible AOC would show openness to it.

Being American is a condition. When an immigrant comes to America and becomes a citizen, they become a US citizen without being American, because they have no ancestry to the conditions of Americans: no Jim Crow, no Civil War, no Vietnam War, no Great Depression, no slavery, no other wars before 1965, no ancestry to the founding of America, and no other historical wars before 1965 and the 1900s.

OMB is taking public comments on proposed changes to the 2030 Census, including eliminating racial/ethnic categories all together . Democrats could change this in 2028 if they win—but don’t wait. Submit your comment by Oct. 13, 2026: federalregister.gov/document…

Sacramento, we’re coming back! 🌱 Join us Sunday, October 11 for another free, hands-on READ Roots 2 genealogy and family history workshop about discovering where we come from and what our history means for where we are, and where we're going.

And the workshop is just the beginning! Afterwards, you're invited to continue with us into a free 6-week Reparations training journey where we learn more about Reparations and reparative justice, how government and policy work, and — most importantly — put that learning into action in our communities. All while you continue discovering your family history. Whether you know a lot about your family history and Reparations, or are just getting started, there’s a place for you. 📍 HAIRitage Barbershop 1620 Broadway, Sacramento 🕐 1:00–4:00 PM Know your lineage.

It says, "This new synthesis took as its foil the very different vision of freedom and the American future taking shape in the antebellum South—a vision that regarded Black slavery as the necessary foundation for white freedom"... theunpopulist.net/p/is-wage-… #LaborDay #TamaraShealey

These counties are killing record retrieval to help protect a Freedmen Cemetery in Georgia. We are not raising enough money to support the records we need. We keep asking for donations because much of the work we are doing costs money. If you support our work, donate in the comments.
🚨Old Neal / O’Neal A.M.E. Church Cemetery Status Update🚨 FRFT and AFLF have prepared records-preservation notices and institutional inquiries concerning the Old Neal / O’Neal A.M.E. Church Cemetery matter in Hampton / Henry County, Georgia. We are requesting preservation of public records, permits, surveys, cemetery-boundary materials, development records, contractor records, utility records, inspection materials, communications, maps, plats, parcel records, and related evidence connected to the cemetery area. This is about protecting the record, identifying the proper responsible parties, and making sure the history and burial ground are not ignored, scattered, altered, or erased ———————————————————————- Support the American Freedmen Legal Fund with a donation.

It takes resources... For the 2nd year I hosted my birthday to fundraise for #ReparationsSunday however, this year there were many who thought I should have canceled. Read what happened and why I didn't. youtu.be/_hrjEEZOj5k?is=edG1… #Reparations #Freedmen #FBA #ADOS #TamaraShealey

We received a few donations, but we are nowhere near the $800 we need to obtain these records. I just received this letter from Stafford County about the Freedmen Potomac Cemetery; they gave a data center authorizations to develop near it, disturbing our ancestors’ graves. I am not an influencer, but I hope showing you what AFLF/FRFT is going up against makes you want to donate. No matter the size, we have to get these records. Click the link in the comments to donate.
FRFT/AFLF cannot do this alone. We cannot fight this erasure of our Freedmen Cemeteries without records. We need all hands on deck on donations.

🚨Georgia Cemetery Preservation Review Begins🚨 FRFT has executed a Mutual NCNDA with Honor Thy Roots Cemetery Preservation Inc. for a Georgia cemetery preservation review and possible Freedmen Historical Marker pathway. This protects confidential records, project relationships, and non-public materials while FRFT continues its independent public-record review, genealogy verification pathway, and preservation planning. ————————————————————- Support the American Freedmen Legal Fund with a donation.

I hate raising money on a daily as much as you all hate seeing it on my timeline. At the end of the day, this work we are doing is a business to support our advocacy work for our people. Thanks to everyone who has setup weekly and monthly donations. Over the past 7 days, we tried reaching 100 donors to do the same, but no one engaged during this campaign. I have almost 17,000 followers. 1% is 170 possible donors at $25 each that we were requesting. This would be $4,250 a month. This would be a sweet spot for operations and expenses for AFLF. If you believe you can support our work, donate or sponsor. I put the links in the comments.

Families came together in Sacramento to trace their lineage, uncover family stories, map health history, and strengthen the foundation for future generations and Reparations. This free event kicked off last month during Juneteenth week, followed by weeks of (also free) Reparations and genealogy training, which continue to this day... Reparations Education And Development = R.E.A.D From Sacramento to Oakland, Los Angeles, New York, and Ohio, more people are reclaiming their history to empower a better future for themselves, their families, and community. 🌱 Our lineage. 🌱 Our health. 🌱 Our power. This is only the beginning. BIG LOVE to the family and colleagues @CABWHP @AmericanRedress @EtmMedia and others for another ✊🏾🔥free genealogy, Reparations education, and family history workshop! @cjecofficial #READRoots #Genealogy #Reparations #AmericanFreedmen #foundational
