Who the movement is for

Why we need revolutionary reparative justice

It is for those fighting for justice from enslavement and colonialism, its legacies and system change and looking for a strategic political method.

• It is for people who want justice and reparations and who want to liberate and emancipate ourselves from the systemic and material legacies of enslavement and colonialism.
• It is for people who want to revolutionise society at a systemic, global political and economic level by ending capitalism, imperialism (and neo-colonialism) once and for all, in order to end the world’s longest war.
• It is for people fighting against racism, fascism, inequality, patriarchy, sexism, gender discrimination, climate change and so on, and who see these issues as connected, intrinsic, inseparable, and inevitable to oppressive capitalist and imperialist politics - whether through liberalism or conservatism.
• It is for people who want to link up with other radicals and revolutionaries in a strategic way, to build a global grassroots non-violent movement that focusses on campaigning for a singular and precise policy that is able to bring about system change.

It is for people who include:

• Reparations campaigners, Black Marxists, Pan-Afrikanists, Critical Race Theorists and scholars from the Black Radical Tradition
• Feminists, anti-imperialists and anti-capitalists, revolutionary socialists, Marxists and communists
• Non-violent anarchists, anti-racists and anti-fascists
• Land defenders, indigenous people and environmentalists
• Post-Developmentalists and systemic decolonisers
• Marginalised, land defenders, indigenous people and environmentalists
• Anti-war and peace activists
• For all workers of the world and allies demanding and seeking justice and systemic change

The movement for Revolutionary Reparations builds on existing radical and revolutionary approaches for global reparations and system change for the children of enslaved Africans, all colonised people, workers and humanity.
