Reparations - Approaching an Inflection Point

Increasing momentum behind diverse reparations programs is moving the issue toward a critical tipping point. RFL seeks to shift conversation around the Reparations paradigm using capital market innovation and multi-sector engagement. Through the following efforts, RFL aims to shift large-scale reparative action from a “zero-sum” to “win-win” proposition.

 

  • Broad and deep collection methods to maximize evidentiary foundation for repair initiatives

  • Cutting edge analysis methods to calculate multidimensional harm created by slavery and its downstream activities

  • Program and incentive design to maximize reparative impact of intervention(s)

  • 4. Innovative instrument and investment vehicle design that maximize transparency and minimize transaction costs

  • A nationwide index scoring multiple social, civic and economic participation indicators
