Humans For Reparations is an initiative to get everyone talking about the H.R. 40 bill, the first step towards reparations for chattel slavery and its living legacy. Over 40 designers have created art that can be freely used to promote H.R. 40 and the ACLU's campaign.

#WeCantWait. We need a national reckoning with structural racism, in all its forms, which permeates every aspect of our society & creates separate conditions for Black and white life in the #US. Pass HR-40 NOW!

We can't wait. Congress needs to bring HR 40 to a full vote now.

In a historic move, the city of Asheville, North Carolina, voted unanimously this past week to approve a reparations resolution for Black residents and formally apologized for the role it played in slavery and implementing racist policies https://t.co/30gpZogSWf

We will continue to struggle with white supremacy in the United States until the government examines the impact of chattel slavery and its living legacy of institutional racism, and makes reparatory justice a reality.

"Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

Six years ago, Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote the article that brought the fight for reparations back to the forefront of public consciousness.

Why H.R. 40? The local government was complicit in the Tulsa Race Massacre, the systemic murder of +300 people in the thriving Black Wall Street.

"H.R. 40 is intended to create the framework for a national discussion on the enduring impact of slavery and its complex legacy to begin that necessary process of atonement." - Representative @JacksonLeeTX18

[ACLU @ACLU]

Since Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee re-introduced H.R. 40, the legislation and the concept of reparations is once again getting the attention it deserves.
