Second Reparation Salon
This May, Rough Drafts and repWorks present to you the second reparation salon. Building off the energy of the first salon, we further consider the ideas, emotions and energies of our community which inform conversations about repairing the harms of racial capitalism, colonialism, and chattel slavery. Music, poetry, performance and dialogue will assist our traversal through these challenging and multiplexed ideas.

Faith-Based Reparative Justice: A Tool for Racial Healing
Join faith leaders and congregants in an in-depth conference and intensive course to learn about the multiple dimensions of reparations and reparative justice. Discover how you can invite your congregation/temple/mosque deeply into this work in a multi-faith movement for reparations, with a vision for deep truth-telling, repair, and wealth redistribution with the faith community moving toward this work as a spiritual calling and moral imperative.
For white-majority congregations, how do we move towards healing and offering repair? For Black-majority congregations, how do we move towards healing and articulating reparations requests?
We will combine a democratically structured study and action oriented developmental path toward reparations with guest speakers from among the most powerful voices for faith-based reparations in the country. The goal of this conference is to equip participants with solid tools for moving their faith-based reparations organizing forward. Additionally, the conference will connect faith-based folks walking this same path so that they can continue to support one another in deepening and moving toward the deepest repair possible: relationally, spiritually, and through the transfer of resources.
Participants are encouraged to attend in teams of 2 to 5 from each faith community in order to become an organizing team within your congregation.
