We are past the point of symbolic gestures. Reparations, Not Rhetoric is a call to action, a manifesto for collective liberation, and a direct challenge to the systems that have stolen, silenced, and commodified our lives for centuries. This book is for those who understand that justice is not charity. It is repair. It is return. It is reckoning.
Written through the lens of a disabled, autistic, trans, and fiercely anti-oppressive activist, this work is unapologetic and urgent. It dismantles the false comfort of performative allyship and demands real accountability from systems, policies, and individuals.
Whether you are a social worker, organizer, student, or someone trying to understand what real justice looks like, this book is for you. Use it. Share it. Let it light a fire under your commitment to change.
