Reparations Ambassadors are white and non-Black people committed to taking on the burden of learning about reparations, talking to others about reparations, and raising funds to repair harm done to the Black community so that it does not fall on Black people alone. These funds will go into a public "Community Repair Fund" to serve as direct cash payments.
