Reparations Telethon 2025

The 7th Annual Giving Tuesday Reparations Telethon is a fundraiser for the African People's Education and Defense Fund and the Reparations Investment Company. The APEDF mission is to defend the human and civil rights of the African community and end the disparities faced by African people. APEDF's work in North St. Louis includes the Black Power Blueprint, transforming North St. Louis through renovation, economic development and political power by and for the Black community. Since 2017, the Black Power Blueprint has purchased abandoned, dilapidated buildings, initiating a rapid process of restoration or demolition and re-allocation of land to create community-generated, self-reliance programs that uplift the residents and engage them socially, politically and economically in the future of their community.

A newly launched joint program of APEDF and Black Star Industries, the Reparations Investment Company renovates properties in north St. Louis for the purpose of contributing to sustainable economic development, affordable housing and property ownership. RIC is recruiting investors, donors, contractors, realtors and volunteers to support Black community-led revitalization of properties for sale or rental, rebuilding the Northside and generating resources for Black community economic self-reliance programs. Donate to support the installation of a new roof on the first Reparations Investment Company property! Join this dynamic new initiative to support genuine development in a once-thriving community left to deteriorate by decades of deliberate city policy. Stand in solidarity with the African community reclaiming power over their neighborhoods!
