OCCUPY BERNIE GRANT ARTS CENTRE TOTTENHAM FOR REPARATIONS NOW HARINGEY

In the summer of 2025, the African Diaspora Equity and Justice Alliance (ADEJA) is set to host an unprecedented event at the open public area outside the Bernie Grant Arts Centre (BGAC). Inspired by the Occupy movement, this Reparation Summer Camp will offer a vibrant, 24-hour space for discussions, talks, and artistic expressions centered around Black and Mixed-Black reparation themes, history, arts, health, music, local community, food, and drink. The event is free of charge, ensuring accessibility for all members of the community. This article delves into the details of this groundbreaking initiative, its inspirations, and its potential impact on the community and beyond.

The African Diaspora Equity and Justice Alliance (ADEJA) is an organization dedicated to advancing the well-being, empowerment, unity, and pursuit of historical reparatory justice for Black Africans, the Black African diaspora, and the Mixed-Black diaspora. ADEJA's mission is grounded in an evidence-based approach to reparation claims, ensuring that justice is served on a case-by-case basis.

• Historical Reparatory Justice: Addressing historical injustices faced by Black and Mixed-Black communities.
• Empowerment and Unity: Promoting unity and empowerment within the Black and Mixed-Black diaspora.
• Community Engagement: Facilitating open discussions and cultural events that foster community solidarity.
• Educational Initiatives: Providing platforms for learning about Black history, arts, and health.

The Bernie Grant Arts Centre (BGAC), located in Tottenham, London, is a focal point for artistic and cultural expression, particularly within the Black community. Named after Bernie Grant, one of the UK's first Black MPs, the centre stands as a testament to his legacy and commitment to social justice.

• Art Galleries and Exhibition Spaces: Showcasing works by local and international Black artists.
• Theatre and Performance Spaces: Hosting a variety of performances, from theatre to music and dance.
• Community Workshops and Events: Offering workshops and events that engage the local community in cultural and educational activities.
• Café and Meeting Spaces: Providing a welcoming environment for community gatherings and discussions.

The Occupy movement, which began in 2011 with Occupy Wall Street, sought to address economic inequality and the undue influence of corporations on government. It utilized public spaces to create forums for discussion and activism, inspiring movements worldwide.

• Nonviolent Protest: Engaging in peaceful demonstrations to draw attention to social issues.
• Public Space Utilization: Using public areas as sites for assembly and dialogue.
• Inclusivity and Participation: Encouraging broad participation and inclusive decision-making processes.
• Raising Awareness: Highlighting systemic issues and advocating for structural change.

The Tottenham riots of 2011, triggered by the police shooting of Mark Duggan, were a significant moment in London's recent history, highlighting deep-seated issues of racial inequality and police violence.

• Mark Duggan: A Black man whose death at the hands of the police sparked the riots.
• PC Keith Blakelock: A police officer killed during the 1985 Broadwater Farm riot, another instance of community unrest in Tottenham.
• Community Impact: Both incidents underscore the tensions between law enforcement and the Black community, as well as the ongoing struggle for justice and equity.

The Reparation Summer Camp at BGAC aims to create an inclusive space for discussions and cultural events focused on Black and Mixed-Black reparations. Key activities include:

• Discussion Forums: Open forums for discussing reparation themes, history, and community issues.
• Art Exhibitions: Showcasing artworks that reflect the experiences and histories of Black and Mixed-Black communities.
• Health and Wellness Workshops: Offering sessions on physical and mental health tailored to the needs of the community.
• Music and Performances: Featuring performances by local artists that celebrate Black culture and heritage.
• Community Meals: Providing food and drink, fostering a sense of community and shared experience.

One of the core principles of the Reparation Summer Camp is accessibility. By hosting events in the open public area outside BGAC, ADEJA ensures that financial barriers do not prevent community participation. This approach aligns with the organization's commitment to inclusivity and justice.

Participants are encouraged to bring tents and camp outside BGAC, creating a continuous presence and a dynamic environment for engagement. This setup allows for spontaneous interactions and ongoing discussions, mirroring the communal spirit of the Occupy movement.

Leading up to the summer camp, ADEJA hosts weekly meetings outside BGAC, following a Speakers Corner format. These meetings serve as planning sessions for the camp and provide a platform for ongoing discussions on Black and Mixed-Black reparation themes.

• Open Discussions: Encouraging community members to voice their ideas and concerns.
• Planning Sessions: Coordinating the logistics and activities for the summer camp.
• Guest Speakers: Featuring experts on topics related to reparations, history, and community health.
• Cultural Performances: Showcasing local talent and fostering cultural expression.

• Non-Tradeable Assets: Assets of cultural significance, including sacred cultural items, dedicated to cultural restoration and preservation.

ADEJA serves as a clearinghouse for all entities that classify themselves as IC3 Black or part IC3 Black.

Member entities are encouraged to contribute to ADEJA's mission through reparations, evidence-based claims, and support for the restoration of cultural identity.

ADEJA Black Social Credit System: Promoting Black Betterment

ADEJA, the African Diaspora Equity and Justice Alliance, has implemented a comprehensive Black social credit system to incentivize and recognize actions that contribute to the betterment of the IC3 Black community. This system aims to foster a sense of unity, empowerment, and reparatory justice, aligning with ADEJA's mission to create a Black African Autonomous Entity for Empowerment and Reparatory Justice.

The Black Social credit is a system that evaluates and scores individuals based on their behaviors, actions, and contributions to society. In the case of ADEJA, the Black social credit system is designed to gauge the level of commitment and contribution of individuals towards Black Betterment. It encompasses various aspects of life, including family values, economic participation, and health-related activities.

1. Ancestry (5%) - A1: The number of identifiable IC3 Black people in one's ancestry. This aspect represents the historical and familial roots of an individual within the Black community.
2. Associations (5%) - A2: Black Family values and sexual relationships. This factor emphasizes the significance of family values and interpersonal connections within the Black community.
3. Appearance (5%) - A3: Black phenotype. Focuses on the observable physical characteristics that contribute to one's identity as a member of the Black community.
4. Actions (80%) - A4: The Black person practicing Black Betterment. This is the most substantial category, comprising the majority (80%) of the Social Credit system. It emphasizes the actions and efforts of individuals toward the improvement and progress of the Black community.
5. Amino Acids (5%) - A5: Black genetics. Recognizes the role of genetics, specifically amino acids, in contributing to the unique characteristics of Black individuals.

These six aspects collectively make up the criteria for the Black Social Credit system, with a significant emphasis on individual actions (Actions - 80%) aimed at the betterment of the Black community.

ADEJA aims to establish a transformative platform that addresses historical inequities, fosters international collaboration, and paves the way for shared prosperity, empowering Black Africans, the Black African diaspora, and the Mixed-Black diaspora while seeking reparatory justice by 9 November 2025 (9/11).

ADEJA exists only to start serving "melanated justice" from a new entity after 9 November 2025 (9/11). The name of the melanated entity has not been decided as yet. The aim is to start processing the first reparation claim after 9 November 2025 (9/11).

In conclusion, the classification systems used by the UK, such as IC codes for racial and ethnic categories, underscore the complexities of racial identities. Implementing similar standardized systems in international organizations could potentially improve efforts to combat racism, promote racial equity, and deliver reparatory justice. ADEJA's mission is aligned with these goals, aiming to create a fair and just society for Black and Mixed-Black communities worldwide.
