The Spatial Futures Initiative aims to be a potent catalyst and visionary policy hub for reparative spatial justice work in land and housing. Reparative spatial justice reimagines spaces to enable historically marginalized communities to reclaim their connection to land and obtain restitution for the long-standing impacts of racist policies and practices. In this expansive movement, PolicyLink is dedicated to connecting and elevating these diverse efforts.

Grounding Justice: Toward Reparative Spatial Futures in Land and Housing serves as an anchoring document for our work in reparative spatial justice. It is both a call to action and an open invitation for collaboration and discussion that embraces the conversations, tensions, and collective growth that this path demands. [link removed]

MEET THE FELLOWS
We are also proud to introduce the inaugural cohort of the Spatial Futures Fellows. The Spatial Futures Fellowship aims to support leaders that are visioning these futures — where all Black, Brown, and Indigenous people have a secure place to call home, the opportunity to repair their relationships with the land and gain restitution for centuries of racist policies that have denied them the ability to thrive for generations.

This coming year, the Spatial Futures Fellowship brings together 11 leaders from across the country who are working to advance reparative spatial justice in their communities:

Adrian Madriz - Miami, FL
Andre Strongbearheart Gaines - Grafton, MA
Anietie Ekanem - San Francisco, CA
Austen Smith - Louisville, KY
Cleo Davis - Portland, OR
Jessie Keel - Philadelphia, PA
Kawaipuna Kalipi - Kaunakakai, HI
Jocelyn Poe - Ithaca, NY
Sheena Cabal - Los Angeles, CA
Vickii Howell - Mobile, AL
Zyahna Bryant - Charlottesville, VA
