FIND OUT BELOW ABOUT SOME OF OUR EVENTS
The Champaign-Urbana Reparations Coalition meets at 6:30PM on the third Thursday of every month at New Covenant Fellowship, 124 W. White St. in Champaign.
The CU Reparations Coalition often collaborates with State Representative Carol Ammons, shown on the right, to develop and support legislation for racial justice. In 2024, Dr. Jeff Trask (center) and Dr. LaKisha David (L) were also in Springfield, IL, for a lobbying day. We are grateful to Representative Ammons for being an especially committed and powerful champion for reparations.
