Information Session: The Reparation Initiative

JOIN US FOR THE INAUGURAL PRESENTATION

The Reparation Initiative of The Justice League of Greater Kalamazoo MI

The Justice League of Greater Kalamazoo Michigan exists to repair the breach caused by the historical damage of slavery and its aftermath. In the spirit of repentance for the sin of racism, we seek to build relationships and facilitate reparations between houses of worship and collaborative partners to increase wealth gap equity for African Americans in the Greater Kalamazoo Area.

Two opportunities to learn about the Justice League of Greater Kalamazoo and how you can participate in this reparation initiative:

KALAMAZOO FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 321 W. South Street, Kalamazoo MI on Sunday, April 26 at 6:00 PM (Light meal provided)

ABOUT THIS WORK Since April 2024, people from predominantly white churches have been meeting to create a reparations initiative in Kalamazoo. Our work builds on the model of the Justice League of Greater Lansing. This presentation will educate congregations on the harms of racism and the necessity of repairing the breach through reparations.
