Learning Reports from our first Cohort
When the Cultivating Repair Catalyst Initiative (CRCI) launched in December 2023, it carried an ambitious vision: to nurture a vibrant ecosystem of healing and repair that addresses the enduring legacies of slavery and colonialism in the United States. More than 700 organizations applied for a ten-organization cohort — a powerful reminder of just how vast, dynamic, and under-resourced this work is nationwide.
