Through this collection of 11 chapters written by experts in their field, Runnymede Trust calls for redistribution, repair, and the creation of a renewed alternative. It asserts that it’s not a call for a cash payment from wealthy elites, or for philanthropic gestures that fail to confront structural harm, but an opportunity to radically redesign our political and economic systems in a way that benefits all, and addresses the many global crises we are facing.

The report’s aim was not only to destigmatise the conversation around reparations, but offer a proactive way to bring this conversation to life. Covering areas including wealth divisions, aid, drug policy and reparatory justice, education policy, climate justice, death, and proposals for a National Commission on Reparative Justice, Runnymede Trust shows how reparations can move beyond a divisive abstract idea.
