Decatur, GA. — The ADOS Advocacy Foundation is thrilled to announce that we have officially reached a major fundraising milestone for our Justice for Generations campaign—a bold initiative to fund the creation of a comprehensive reparations bill for American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS).
This achievement is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our supporters, whose belief in the fight for lineage-based justice propels us forward. Your contributions have laid the groundwork for an historic effort to finally secure what is owed to the descendants of those who built this country with their labor, their lives, and their legacy.
While today we celebrate, we are clear-eyed about the work that lies ahead. Working to develop a robust, legally sound, and politically viable reparations bill is just the beginning. Your continued support and donations help fund:
- Policy Research and Legal Analysis – Building policy briefs, legal memos, and data-driven reports that arm us with unassailable arguments.
- Legislative Liaison Work – Supporting skilled lobbyists and government affairs staff dedicated to advancing our agenda with lawmakers.
- Communications and Media Outreach – Amplifying our message through strategic media, digital campaigns, and public relations.
- Travel and Accommodations – Enabling our team to meet legislators, attend critical hearings, and testify where needed.
- Compliance and Reporting – Maintaining full transparency and adherence to all lobbying laws and regulations.
- Grassroots Organizing and Coalition Building – Strengthening partnerships with allied organizations and empowering local advocates.
We are energized by your belief in our mission and will soon be sharing updates on the outcomes of our lobbying efforts, upcoming campaigns, and opportunities for continued engagement. Together, we are making history—and we’re just getting started.
On behalf of the ADOS Advocacy Foundation, I extend my deepest gratitude. Your support fuels a movement that demands justice not just for ourselves, but for generations to come.
In solidarity,
Yvette Carnell
President, ADOS Advocacy Foundation
