Reparations Learning Labs, MN Interfaith Power & Light, October 11 - February 14

October 2, 2023

Join Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light for their Reparations Learning Labs! Learn more on their website!


MNIPL’s Reparations Learning Labs support a community of doers who are committed to repairing the harms of colonization through action.

These monthly sessions will help people who are ready to move beyond reading and discussion into doing.

Being a part of these labs invites us into our commitment to the forever work of decolonizing ourselves and our communities.


Here's how the sessions work: 

  • We start with a topic of conversation about potential concrete actions towards reparations in our own lives
  • We dig into how that approach would feel for participants in their work or communities
  • We collaboratively create a practical toolkit that we can take with us into our work and communities

Ideally, folks will come to all four sessions, but people can also come for just one or two. All sessions will take place on Zoom.


Before you sign up, there's a couple things to know:

The events are free to attend, but we're asking folks to commit to taking action in order to participate. You can either donate to support our BIPOC Reparations Advisory Table or share our Reparations Learning Tables with a friend or neighbor.

We also recommend that you watch our Reparation Learning Tables videos before you come - these are a primer on what reparations are, why they're important, and how to make a commitment to change.


Who are these sessions for?

These sessions are designed specifically for white folks of faith who are ready to move past learning about the problem into doing something about it.

You may be just starting out, stuck in your journey after trying stuff that hasn't worked as expected, or coming back to this intentional work.

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color who are interested in this work are also welcome!


Sign up now!

All the sessions will be over Zoom. We'd love for you to join us for all four sessions, but if you can only make one or two, that's great, too!

These sessions will not be recorded, so make sure you sign up!
