The People's Archive: Seeding Repair & Revolution

​Kinfolk Tech and The Laundromat Project are excited to present The People's Archive: Seeding Repair & Revolution. This teach-in session will have a unique hybrid experience of in-person and virtual attendance. Information for in-person attendance can be found at the end of this event description.

​Inspired by Fannie Lou Hamer—sharecropper, organizer, co-founder of the Freedom Farm Cooperative, and tireless advocate for economic justice—this session will examine reparations not as compensation for the past but as an investment in radical futures. Hamer understood that political rights without economic power meant continued subjugation, that land and resources were the foundation of true freedom, and that Black people deserved not just a seat at the table but ownership of the means of survival and self-determination.

​This session is also inspired by Kinfolk's "Zones of Imagination" of Reparations and Radical Futures.

​Reparations

​Holding powerful institutions accountable for historical and ongoing harms, while working toward generational healing and restoration for communities that have experienced systematic oppression.

​Radical Futures

​Envisions sustainable, liberatory futures for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and queer communities, moving beyond traditional power structures to imagine new worlds grounded in lived experiences.

​ASL interpretation will be available for this event.
