Community campaign • Reparatory justice
Build a community mandate for lawful community acquisition, protection or durable community stewardship of the Bernie Grant Arts Centre—and for a renewed African Reparations Movement capable of advancing reparatory justice.
Two connected objectives
Build an evidenced community mandate to pursue lawful acquisition, protection or durable community stewardship of the Bernie Grant Arts Centre.
The campaign does not state that a purchase has been completed, that a binding right to purchase has been established, or that an authorised sale price has been agreed.
Develop a democratic and accountable institution capable of constructing and delivering reparatory justice for Black and Mixed-Black people.
Governance, beneficiary rules, forms of repair, eligibility and future financial arrangements remain matters for lawful institutional development.

Important legal and practical limits
The campaign uses the pledge as a practical expression of possible community support. No money is taken when the pledge is recorded, and every pledge remains voluntary, conditional and revocable.
The visual identity of this site draws on The Black Pledge: deep forest tones, warm gold, intergenerational imagery and the idea that a pledge should be understood, recorded and controlled by the person making it.
Public petition
Support the campaign for the future of the Bernie Grant Arts Centre and the development of the African Reparations Movement UK. The petition and anonymous pledge are separate forms of support.
