November 29, 2025 Brunna Ramos and Flavia Quirino, People's Dispatch. Resist! Anti-Racism, Brazil, Feminism, International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women, Reparations

From all over the country and from more than 40 nations, Black women began to arrive in the federal capital last week for one of the most important political mobilizations of the decade. This new edition of the National Black Women’s March brought not only the symbolic weight of memory, but also the affirmation that the historical moment calls for more protagonism, more confrontation of institutional racism, more public policies, and more spaces in power for those who sustain the country and continue to be most affected by inequalities.

November 24, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Africa, Community of Caribbean States (CARICOM), Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Ghana, Pan Africanism, Reparations

Asserting the “inalienable right of Africans and people of African descent to full reparations” for “slavery, colonialism, apartheid, and systemic exploitation”, an international Pan-African conference on November 18 and 19 adopted the Accra Declaration on Reparatory Justice. Mandating the establishment of a “Pan-African Reparatory Justice Coordinating Committee” and laying out the next steps to be taken, the Accra declaration signalled “a new era of coordinated global action on reparatory justice,” said the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF). A global platform undertaking research, advocacy, and grassroots mobilization to strengthen the Pan-African movement, the PPF organized this event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the historic 5th Pan-African Congress in October 1945 in Manchester, England.

The Reparations Movement: Flourishing Amid Backlash

October 21, 2025 Peter Certo, Institute for Policy Studies. Organize! City Government, Racism, Reparations, State Legislatures

Across the United States, the demand for reparations has moved from the margins of debate to the center of local and state politics. While federal legislation has stalled for decades, cities like Evanston, Illinois, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as states like California, are pioneering concrete steps to repair the harms of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism. From housing initiatives and educational funds to community development projects, these efforts are reshaping how justice can be pursued in practice. In his new report for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung New York Office, author John Feffer examines the resurgence of the reparations movement at a time when national politics are marked by backlash and regression on civil rights.

How Displaced Black Families Won Reparations In Portland

August 2, 2025 Marianne Dhenin, Next City. Strategize! Displacement, Gentrification, Portland, Racism, Reparations

For decades, the Albina district in Portland, Oregon, was the center of the city’s Black community. Local musicians transformed the neighborhoods into a hotspot for the West Coast’s jazz, blues and soul music scenes, earning Albina the nickname “Jumptown” in the 1940s and ‘50s. Milestones in Oregon’s civil rights struggle grew out of meetings in Albina’s parks and gathering halls. It was residents of Albina who started a citywide tree-planting program responsible for many of Portland’s now-famous blooming cherry trees. But by the ‘70s, much of it was gone.

Iran Sets Conditions For US Nuclear Talks

July 31, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Strategize! Iran, Israel, Nuclear Talks, Reparations, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview published on 31 July that Tehran is seeking financial compensation for Israel’s war, an explanation on why Iran was attacked during negotiations, and security guarantees for any resumption of nuclear talks with Washington. Araghchi told the Financial Times (FT) that Iran will not accept going back to “business as usual” after Israel launched its unprovoked war on the country in mid-June. “They should explain why they attacked us in the middle of … negotiations, and they have to ensure that they are not going to repeat that [during future talks]. And they have to compensate [Iran for] the damage that they have done,” Araghchi added.

Tulsa Mayor Unveils Historic $105 Million Reparations Plan

June 3, 2025 Deon Osborne, The Black Wall Street Times. Create! Black Wall Street, Oklahoma, Reparations, Tulsa, Tulsa Massacre

Tulsa, Oklahoma – Exactly 104 years after Tulsa’s local government deputized white men to loot, bomb, burn, kill and kidnap Black residents of the Historic Greenwood District, the city’s first Black mayor announced the creation of a historic plan for reparations on Sunday. Inside the Greenwood Cultural Center on the first annual celebration of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Observance Day, newly elected Mayor Monroe Nichols announced the creation of a Greenwood Trust that will be used to collect $105 million to address racial disparities impacting Massacre survivors, descendants and the majority Black residents of north Tulsa.

Following Kamala’s Script, Maryland Governor Vetoes Reparations Bill

May 31, 2025 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Democrats, Elections, Maryland, Reparations

With his veto earlier this month of legislation to study reparations for the descendants of enslaved Africans, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a Democrat, signaled two things: first, he intends to seek his party’s nomination for the White House in 2028; and secondly, he plans to redeploy the discredited strategy of appealing to white voters by distancing his campaign from African Americans. If recent history is any guide, that dog won’t hunt for Moore, the nation’s lone African American governor, any more than it did for Kamala Harris in her presidential campaign last year or Hilary Clinton in 2016. Both Harris and Clinton cut their teeth as politicians with policies that the African American working class widely regarded as deeply racist; both lost to Donald Trump.

France Must Compensate Haiti

April 17, 2025 marked two centuries since one of the most unjust episodes in modern history: the forced collection of an illegitimate debt that France imposed on Haiti as a condition for recognizing its independence. On April 17, 1825, King Charles X signed an ordinance forcing the nascent republic to pay 150 million gold francs – equivalent to about USD 21 billion today – plunging the country into a cycle of poverty, dependence, and violence that continues to this day. Amid an unprecedented humanitarian and political crisis, social organizations, political parties, and human rights defenders from Latin America and the Caribbean have submitted letters to French embassies demanding historical reparations.

Haiti And The Global Movement For Reparations

April 13, 2025 Mildred Trouilot Aristide, Resumen English. Create! Debt, Foreign Intervention, Haiti, Reparations, Sovereignty

Since November 11th travel to and from Haiti has become difficult. A shooting at the capital’s airport triggered an immediate ban by the US government on all US flights. Our border with the Dominican Republic has been closed for over a year. International travel from Port-au-Prince involves either a 6-7 hour bus ride to Cape Haitian or a 40-minute helicopter shuttle that can run up to 2,500 US dollars. From there a local airline flies to Miami – at a significantly increased ticket price. The country is facing an extraordinary situation. The capital (and some provinces) are under siege by heavily armed paramilitary forces. They are responsible for an untold number of killings, kidnapping, rapes, acts of arson and pillage.

It Is Time To Reckon With The Reactionary Rantings Of ADOS/FBA

March 27, 2025 Jacqueline Luqman, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS), Foundational Black Americans (FBA), Pan Africanism, Reparations

We revolutionary Africans in the U.S. have to finally confront the internal contradiction that is the ADOS/FBA faction that has emerged and gained legitimacy and influence. Through the inexplicable support of noteworthy political figures like Dr. Cornel West, and despite the glaring, divisive, and deeply offensive contradictions in that movement, ADOS/FBA have become so influential that they have deeply confused and divided the already embattled Black masses with their counter-revolutionary, reactionary and racist ideology. American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) is a reparations movement that advocates exclusively for Black Americans descended from enslaved people in the U.S.

New Jersey’s Legislature Stalled Reparations Inquiry For Years

August 12, 2024 Kimberly Izar, Next City. Strategize! New Jersey (NJ), Reparations, Slavery, Systemic Racism

Shortly after the Ku Klux Klan marched through Newark, New Jersey, in the 1920s, large areas of the city and surrounding communities were redlined by the federal government as investment risks because Black people lived there. The discriminatory practice of redlining locked generations of Black families out of equitable access to jobs, housing, schools, and other wealth-building resources. Redlining built on the legacy of slavery and has since evolved into modern-day segregation, where racially diverse and low-income communities continue to have limited access to economic and public health opportunities.

World Court Opinion On Illegal Israeli Occupation Gives Tools To End Genocide

On July 18, 2024, the World Court (aka the International Court of Justice) issued an advisory opinion that found Israel to be an illegal occupation of Palestine and that the settlements must be dismantled, Palestinians must be allowed to return to their homes and they must be paid reparations. International human rights lawyer Francis Boyle talks to Clearing the FOG about how the court's opinion came about, what it means and how it can be used by activists in their communities to end the genocide in Palestine. Boyle explains why now is the time to escalate our actions and end the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine.

New Bill In Honduras Seeks To Rectify 1980s Human Rights Violations

June 3, 2024 Michael Fox, Resumen English. Create! History, Honduras, Human Rights, Reparations, State Violence

In Honduras, family members of the victims of state violence in the 1980s have been marching for 40 years to demand justice for the disappearance and death of their loved ones. Now, there’s a chance they may see reparations. An unprecedented bill that would provide compensation for the family members of the victims is working its way through Congress. In June 1981, Bertha Oliva was three months pregnant and had only been married for four months when she witnessed the kidnapping of her husband by the country’s death squad. “I was there when they took him away from me,” she said, adding, “I am a witness to the brutality. I am a survivor of that moment.”

Constant Killing

May 28, 2024 Nick Turse TomDispatch.com. Educate! Civilian Deaths, History, Pentagon, Reparations, US Imperialism

There are constants in this world — occurrences you can count on. Sunrises and sunsets. The tides. That, day by day, people will be born and others will die. Some of them will die in peace, but others, of course, in violence and agony. For hundreds of years, the U.S. military has been killing people. It’s been a constant of our history. Another constant has been American military personnel killing civilians, whether Native Americans, Filipinos, Nicaraguans, Haitians, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians, Yemenis, and on and on. And there’s something else that’s gone along with those killings: a lack of accountability for them.

The Axis Of Resistance: Like Seeds In The Soil

March 12, 2024 Hanna Eid, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Axis of Resistance, Gaza, Hezbollah, Infrastructure, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Reparations

While many articles written on Al Mayadeen and other platforms have exposed and highlighted the brutality of the Zionist occupiers and their American masters, I want to take this opportunity to expose the humanity and fraternal conduct of members of the Axis of Resistance throughout the history of this network of organizations seeking to liberate West Asia. It came to me to write this as I read Aurelie Daher’s masterful history book: Hezbollah: Mobilisation and Power. In this book, Daher shows that the first steps of resistance in Lebanon were not conducting military operations against the Zionists, but building bonds with the masses.
