ABOUT NVCFA
“A Life of Volunteerism is a Life Well Lived.”
The National Volunteer Council on Freedmen Affairs (NVCFA) is a principal team of thought leaders in a national coalition of grassroots reparative justice activists who advocate for lineage-based reparations for American Freedmen (descendants of persons enslaved in the United States of America.) We also push for a robust legislative Black Agenda which includes substantial reforms in the areas of education, housing, healthcare, human services, civil rights, restorative and reparative justice.
