Sacramento, we’re coming back! 🌱

Join us Sunday, October 11 for another free, hands-on READ Roots 2 genealogy and family history workshop about discovering where we come from and what our history means for where we are, and where we're going.

Come explore your family history, begin or grow your family tree, and learn how your lineage connects to Reparations, health, civic action, and building power in our communities.

And the workshop is just the beginning!

Afterwards, you're invited to continue with us into a free 6-week Reparations training journey where we learn more about Reparations and reparative justice, how government and policy work, and — most importantly — put that learning into action in our communities. All while you continue discovering your family history.

Whether you know a lot about your family history and Reparations, or are just getting started, there’s a place for you.

📍 HAIRitage Barbershop
1620 Broadway, Sacramento
🕐 1:00–4:00 PM

Know your lineage. Build your power. ✊🏿

No time to wait. Reparations won’t move because we watched from the sidelines.

Get educated. Get active. Know your lineage. Organize your community. In your community. With your community.

Starting January 1, 2027, EVERY California city, county, and city-county must recognize descendants of persons enslaved in the United States as a distinct population by creating a new public employee data category for them.

We fought for this. We won this.
Now we build on it.

One more brick in the foundation.

On to the next one. CJEC - Coalition For A Just & Equitable California 💯✊🏾

The Reparations Question begins now.

If you're asking Californians to lead, Californians deserve to know your plan for implementing Reparations.

Over the coming months, we'll ask candidates for Governor and other statewide offices the same question—and we'll share their responses.

Reparations must be real.

Studies, apologies, government bureaus, and symbolism are not Reparations.

Real Reparations means:
• Cash Payments
• Financial & Tangible Assets
• Lineage-Based Eligibility

Clarity matters.

Reparations requires action.
