Our Most-Read Stories of 2025: A Year of Reparative Capital in Action
2025 was a year that asked us to stretch further, speak louder, and root deeper into the work of repair.
It was a year when ideas long planted finally began to take hold—revealing the power of community-led finance, the urgency of economic justice, and the courage it takes to build something different in a system designed for extraction.
As we close this chapter, we're looking back at the stories that resonated most with our community—the pieces you read, shared, and returned to when you needed clarity, inspiration, or a reminder that another world is possible.
From defining what reparative capital really means to launching Fertile Ground LIVE in Chicago, from our rebrand to RUNWAY Roots to leading conversations at SOCAP26, these stories capture the evolution of our work and the movement we're building together.
Whether you're new to reparative finance or have been with us from the beginning, this collection offers a window into the ideas, practices, and values shaping our path forward. These aren't just blog posts—they're blueprints for liberation, invitations to imagine differently, and proof that when we center Black communities in the design of financial systems, transformation becomes inevitable.
