Why this petition matters

Started by Simone Whatley

Our ancestors worked tirelessly, without compensation. As their descendants, we are here to pick up the check. It is time for justice and reparation through the passing of bill HR 414.

Bill HR 414 aims to address the long-standing issue of reparations for African Americans due to centuries of unpaid labor during slavery. This bill seeks not only monetary compensation but also exemption from taxes and housing benefits that will help level the playing field for generations affected by this historical injustice.

According to a study conducted by Harvard University, racial wealth disparities in America can be directly traced back to slavery and its aftermath (Harvard Gazette). This is a clear indication that our fight today is deeply rooted in our past.

The passage of this bill will serve as an acknowledgment from our government about the historical injustices committed against African Americans and their descendants. It's not just about money; it's about recognition, respect, and rectification.

We urge you all to stand with us in this fight for reparation. Sign this petition now! Let's make our voices heard until Bill HR 414 is passed into law the time is now!!
