Event Purpose
The Global Circle for Reparations and Healing (GCRH) is convening a forum to introduce its mission, expand its cohort, and provide an overview of its six strategic working groups. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with GCRH's initiatives and explore avenues for collaboration and membership.

Who We Are
Established in 2021, GCRH is a coalition of organizations and individuals committed to reparations and healing for people of African descent worldwide. Our journey began when twenty-three organizations were selected by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation as part of its Equitable Recovery Grant Initiative. Recognizing the importance of unity, these organizations formed GCRH to amplify and support each other's work in the reparations movement.

The Global Circle for Reparations and Healing (GCRH) operates through six strategic working groups: Global Institutions, Structures & Economic Policy, Political Actors & Power Dynamics, Media & Narrative-Building, Partnerships and Movement Building, Interreligious Actors, and Inter and Intra-Community Healing.

Our Cohort
The Global Circle for Reparations and Healing is led by distinguished leaders committed to advancing reparatory justice and healing for people of African descent. Our co-conveners include Dr. Amara Enyia of Global Black and the Movement for Black Lives; Dr. Ron Daniels from the Institute of the Black World 21st Century and the National African American Reparations Commission, and Kamm Howard of Reparations United and the National African American Reparations Commission.

Call to Action
GCRH invites all Global African organizations and individuals engaged in reparatory justice efforts to join our global network. By uniting our efforts, we can advance an actionable reparations and healing agenda worldwide. Interested parties are encouraged to contact us through our website:
