Reparations Salons

We host regular gatherings for the Philly reparations ecosystem to learn together, foster connections, and to provoke action towards systemic repair in Philadelphia.

We hear from one another about the seeds of reparations we are planting in our daily living and through collective inquiries.

We hear from one another about the seeds of reparations we are planting in our daily living and through collective inquiries. |

We come together to foster a culture of reparations.

We gather in a circle with tasty, locally-sourced foods to consider these questions and to hear from deep thinkers, poets, and teachers to stoke conversations as well as hear from one another what our reparationist dreams and experiments look like.

We gather in community to engage core questions such as:

  • What does reparations mean to you at this time?

  • What kind of transformation (community and societal) can reparations provoke?

  • What does it mean to heal on the levels of spirit, relationship, and resources?

  • What does the world reparations catalyzes look like?

“I experienced the Salon as a safe space and as an opportunity for me to learn about the diverse people committed to reparations work here in Philly.”
