Dear 2024 Presidential hopeful,

I hope this message finds you well. As we approach the 2024 presidential election, it is crucial to address the pressing issue of African-American reparations and self-reparation initiatives, which have long been a symbol of the fight against historical injustices.

It's imperative to acknowledge that, to date, President Joe Biden has not pledged unequivocal support for African-American reparations. While he has recognized the historical injustices faced by the African American community, his stance on direct reparations has been measured. As we move forward, it is essential for the next presidential candidate to demonstrate a firm commitment to addressing this matter comprehensively.

In order to secure the African-American vote for the 2024 presidential election, we urge all candidates to openly support African-American reparations and self-reparation initiatives. These initiatives go beyond acknowledging past wrongs; they aim to actively redress historical injustices and empower the African American community economically, socially, and culturally.

We believe that supporting reparations and self-reparation initiatives aligns with the values of justice, equality, and the pursuit of a more inclusive society. By championing these causes, candidates can demonstrate a genuine commitment to rectifying the systemic issues that have disproportionately affected African Americans throughout history.

We kindly request that you, as a candidate for the presidency, publicly declare your support for African-American reparations and self-reparation initiatives. This commitment will not only resonate with the African-American community but also serve as a powerful testament to your dedication to fostering a more just and equitable nation.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. We look forward to seeing candidates take a bold stand for reparative justice and the well-being of all Americans.
