Truth, Justice, Healing

Working together to create a just and truthful society that acknowledges and seeks to heal from the racial wounds of the past,

from slavery and the many forms of racism it spawned.

We in the U.S. are concerned about the impact of many harmful actions and threats of more: Banned Books. Cancellation of DEI programs at colleges and corporations. Threats to teaching the true history of our country in schools (which is so integral to the principles of CTTT). Election results showing political winds blowing hard in ways that will harm the most vulnerable and marginalized among us.

The work of Coming to the Table and all our members and affiliates has never been more important.

“Coming to the Table has opened for me a whole new way of seeing our country’s fraught history and our collective responsibility in overcoming it. Helping ensure CTTT is financially sustainable is the most important personal contribution I can make to healing the divisions in our nation. Even though my monthly contribution is small, it shows my commitment to the work and may inspire others to give.”

“I love that I’m helping realize Martin Luther King’s dream of the descendants of the enslaved sitting down at the table of brotherhood with the descendants of enslavers. Every day is a Civil Rights day because of CTTT.”

“To create the country we want for our children and grandchildren, a country of life, liberty and equity for everyone, we need to support the organizations that give us leadership, resources, encouragement and a community of like-minded people doing the hard work of change together. That’s what CTTT gives me. In return, do what I’ve done and take the work out of giving back – set up an auto-donation so you never have to think about making payments again.”

“We have all seen during the past few years in the United States the ugly emergence of white nationalism and the ensuing entrenchment around white supremacy. More than ever, CTTT stands as a beacon for honest and responsible conversation about the difficult history of slavery that all Americans have inherited. This organization is highly worthy of our protection and financial support.”

Rev. David Pettee
Arlington, Massachusetts

“As a descendant of enslavers, Coming to the Table has provided me with invaluable support on this journey to repair the historical harms of slavery in the United States. I would not have continued the hard work of both uncovering the truths of my family history and the excavation of my own racism and privilege without the support of people in both my local Coming to the Table group and the two National Gatherings I have attended. Because all this work is ongoing, I auto-donate monthly to Coming to the Table.”
