COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
This film is inspired by reparation projects emerging in communities around the country. It is our hope that Acts of Reparation will move those already doing the work of repair to learn about the engagement of others, and motivate those new to the work to get involved.

PINK HOUSE POP UP
REPARATIVE GENEALOGY WORKSHOPS
WHO ARE YOUR ANCESTORS?
Inspired by Selina’s story, we are bringing Pink House Pop-Up Reparative Genealogy Workshops to under-resourced Black communities across the country. In partnership with local history keepers and community leaders, we share tools and pathways to help individuals and families discover, preserve and share their histories and stories.
WHAT'S IN YOUR ATTIC?
The initiative also invites white community members to research and share their family histories and make their records available, so that Black people can find and learn about their ancestors.
If you would like to RECEIVE or GIFT a subscription to Ancestry.com to support Black families engaging in reparative genealogy, please respond here.
Genealogy toolkit - a document with instructions, best practices and links - is coming soon.


CIRCLES OF PRACTICE
Inspired by Macky’s story, Circles of Practice invite white folks to join in small groups to story-tell, support, challenge and take action toward local and national reparations initiatives. These circles provide an opportunity for participants to explore the essential question of the film: What does reparations mean to me?
Guided by a counsel of Black and indigenous organizers, this initiative is intended to support small groups of white folks to reflect and take action on repair and reparations and grow the numbers of white people committed to the work of healing historic injury and to provide companionship and accountability for individuals who want to deepen their commitment to action towards repair and reparations.

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
We will highlight and direct you to support Black-women led projects and organizations that support Black communities:
-
To reclaim our histories by accessing pathways and tools to discover, preserve and share our heritage.
-
To tell our stories of Black histories (past), of Black lives today (present), and of Black people in the future (Afrofuturist storytelling).
-
To support entrepreneurs who want to create the world we ALL want to live in.
-
To support healers who share the recipes, remedies, practices and care needed for us to thrive in this world.
We will continue to add people and organizations from the cities we visit. Please keep an eye out for updates to ways you can support HERE.
