Reparations in Real Time

Repair the allocation while the value is being made.

Reparations in Real Time means institutional arrangements should recognize contribution and remedy extraction as value is produced, rather than permitting inequity to compound.

Historical reparations

Historical reparations address accumulated extraction, exclusion, violence, and dispossession.

Institutional remedy

Institutional remedy changes the systems that continue to reproduce harm.

Real-time repair

Real-time repair identifies contribution, exclusion, and harm early enough to alter the original allocation.

No collapse of concepts

These obligations are related but distinct. The platform preserves the distinctions for future policy work.
