NJ was known as the “slave state of the North,” but too many believe it never happened here.
Slavery shaped every aspect of NJ.
That’s why we created the first-of-its-kind NJ Reparations Council.
We aren’t afraid to say #reparations.

The New Jersey Reparations Council’s ultimate goal is not only to repair the enduring harm to Black people from slavery and its enduring impact, but also to answer this foundational question:
What kind of reparative system does New Jersey need to build and invest in for Black people here to finally be free? To thrive? To win?
I am convinced that every movement for racial justice requires fierce and independent advocates to lift their voices when it is not safe, palatable or politically expedient for others to do so.
I am also convinced that the New Jersey Reparations Council, building on a decades-long fight in this state, will help move the issue of reparations from unsafe, unpalatable and impossible to inevitable and conventional wisdom.
