@Kerritweetz_ @SandyDarity @cathyjcohen @Kerritweetz_: Because #SSJForReparations wants to dilute ADOS reparative justice demands by turning it into an AllLivesMatter movement!!!
I'm late to this, but: reparations aim to restore morally obligatory social relations (e.g., equality, respect) where past wrongdoing has disrupted or prevented such relations. Reparations typically involve both apology and material compensation #SSJForReparations (1/5)
Let's get started with a quick warm-up question. What are reparations?
#SSJForReparations
Sorry I missed this! We were having a parallel gathering (https://t.co/s499b36Fve). But elsewhere it was raised that we at #HBCUs should see those institutions as part of #Reparations claims and our work there as part of the struggle. #SSJForReparations
We need a collective "check" for programs that impact whole communities rather than an individual check approach, I think. #SSJForReparations
Join the ForTruth&Reparations Campaign that looks at spirituality and healing - moving beyond reparations as a transaction. Reparations is long term & necessarily grassroots. Take The Pledge! – FOR Truth & Reparations #ForReparations #SSJForReparations https://t.co/8oAmheYuBR

A7 cont: reach out to folks who are interested in (or are already doing) reparations work=, and generate collective labors that push our conversations and praxis around reparations further, wider, constantly, constantly, constantly...#SSJForReparations
@ScholarsForSJ We want forums in the fall and research projects at campuses around the country this summer and we want to invite folks to a conventing in the fall/ winter of 2019. Stay tuned. #SSJForReparations @ScholarsForSJ
A7: commune with others, in whatever context it is possible and convenient (school, religious community, friendship group, whatever!); use folks on this chat to build reading and viewing lists (essays, books, films, poems, etc)... #SSJForReparations
Last question, everyone!
Q7. What can and should other folks do? #SSJForReparations
@ScholarsForSJ @Students4GU272 last Sunday meeting before the April 11 vote @Georgetown on a "new GU272 legacy, for in the absence of innovative leadership, innovative leadership creates itself." #SSJForReparations #gu272
A5: this also opens up the opportunity for intersectionality to be misused. So...
"Let's open reparations to ppl who aren't Black because Black ppl aren't the only ones oppressed and we want to be intersectional" <------ That's not intersectionality.
#SSJForReparations
Q5. Does a reparations framework focus exclusively on Black people or can it be used to highlight the condition of other communities? #SSJForReparations

A6: in addition to what @cathyjcohen @BarbaraRansby @AdomGetachew have already tweeted, i say we can easily put reparations on the agenda of every national scholarly organization that is represented in this twitter community.#SSJForReparations
Q6. What is SSJ panning to do to further this campaign? #SSJForReparations
#SSJForReparations Can students & faculty come together to do summer research on slavery, displacement & racism and then hold campus forums in the fall? @BYP_100 @USStudents @BlackLawStudent @AfAmUcla @afroshedoc @ASALH @BlkPerspectives @AfricanaUPenn
Thanks to our moderator and everyone for participating in the Scholars for Social Justice chat on Reparations in Higher Education #SSJForReparations
A5: Black people.
The primary principle- the first step in reparations, is realizing that Black people can and should have a reparations effort just for us.
If you didn't wanna share the oppression, dont try to share the restoration.
