We invite you to join us in this effort to heal racism. Acknowledging that an apology is just the start of undoing the racism that continues to devastate many communities of color in the United States and elsewhere, we invite people of European descent to join us by adding your signatures to this statement, if our words resonate with you. If you would like to be listed as a signer, email us with your name, town, and state, and your country if you are outside the U.S. (If the link above doesn't work, you can use your email program to write to us at email@massslaveryapology.org.) What will we do with our statement - and your signatures? While this is still evolving, we are using the statement as a tool to educate other white people about racism, white privilege, and reparations. We believe that the more signatures are listed, the more weight the statement will carry. We hope you will share this website with your lists or acquaintances who might be interested.
