The event was hosted online as a PRALER voter education initiative asking the key question: What is in it for us? Can independent candidates be relevant to community reparatory initiatives. With the increasing fascism and backlash against Reparations organising, the genocidal escalations across Afrika, to Palestine and the Global South, and increasing hostility to already marginalized communities, the hustings brought together candidates to share their perspectives on Reparatory Justice, education, community regeneration and the importance of challenging all spaces to continue to organise against genocide for reparatory justice. Candidates also challenged the failures of the current Parliamentary options and their complicity in neocolonial violence around the world. The hustings builds on the legacy of campaigns for Reparatory Justice and key formations like the Stop the Maangamizi: We Charge Genocide/Ecocide Campaign championing the demand for an All Party Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry for Truth and Reparatory Justice (APPCITARJ) which has led to Islington, Bristol City, and Lambeth Council all pass council-wide Reparations Motions. The INOSAAR-GAP in Oxford will continue to amplify the struggles for Reparatory Justice and for educational repairs within and outside Oxford and the UK. This is a critical year for global politics with a significant amount of the Global population going to elections often marred by corruption, violence, and the tactics of marginalization of communities. We are grateful to the host and participants: Nandita Lali - Tottenham Scott Ainslie - Streatham & Croydon North Jabu Nala-Hartley - Oxford.
We extend our support to Jabu Nala-Hartley organising and campaigning in Oxford whose contributions to defending and supporting the community have advanced key issues of representation and education in the community.
