Announcing our programming for the 11th anniversary of Reparations WON!

Connecting our past, present, and future, the Chicago Torture Justice Memorials Foundation is proud to announce this year’s anniversary events. This year is not only a commemoration; it is a declaration that justice continues to grow despite what we collectively face today. This year, we commit to rooting ourselves in the historic passage of reparations legislation in Chicago, rising through community action and collective care of our community, and standing in power at the groundbreaking for the Chicago Torture Justice Memorial. We’ve made history before, and we will make it again this year!

In 2026, we will gather to remember our milestones, serve our neighbors in the Washington Park neighborhood, feed our people, clean and protect our shared spaces, and break ground on a lasting memorial that will tell a local story and help advance reparations efforts nationally. This memorial and its programming will serve as proof that reparations for anti-Black violence are both achievable and transformative. This message could not be more poignant as our communities are fighting against fascist state entities that threaten our existence and histories daily.
