925 Verified Supporters of Reparative Citizenship So Far: Only 75 Signatures Away From Our First 1,000!
To the Founding 500 of the reparative citizenship movement and everyone who has joined since:
This petition is officially on fire.
We are now at 925 supporters. That means we are only 75 signatures away from our first major milestone of 1,000 signatures, and we are doing it well ahead of schedule.
The momentum is undeniable. This petition is still moving at well over 100 signatures per day, and the pace continues to accelerate. People understand what is at stake: Ghana’s citizenship and inclusion framework for the Historic Diaspora must be fair, transparent, accessible, restorative, and affordable.
The process must match the promise.
When we started this petition, little did we know that the reparative citizenship movement would become the issue uniting Black people throughout the world. What began as a demand for fairness in Ghana’s citizenship process has grown into something much larger: a clear call for repair, recognition, representation, and restored relationship between Ghana, the Historic Diaspora, and Black people everywhere.
This movement is showing that reparative citizenship is not just paperwork. It is about belonging. It is about justice. It is about history. It is about whether Ghana’s stated welcome to the Historic Diaspora will be matched by a fair, accessible, transparent, and restorative process in practice.
Pan-Afrikan Solidarity in Action
The most powerful part of this latest surge is who is standing together.
Since our last update, roughly 84% of the new signatures in the available petition data have come from Ghanaians in Ghana. Looking at both the listed locations and the names of recent signatories, the latest wave of the last few hundred is overwhelmingly Ghanaian.
That matters deeply.
This is Pan-Afrikan solidarity and unity in practice. This is no longer something anyone can use divide-and-conquer framing to dismiss as only a “Historic Diaspora issue.” Ghanaians and Historic Diasporans are standing together on the right side of history around one clear principle:
Reparative citizenship must be fair, accessible, transparent, and grounded in justice.
They are standing for repair.
They are standing for representation.
They are standing for justice.
They are standing for a Ghana-Historic Diaspora relationship that moves beyond symbolic language into real policy, real access, and real inclusion.
Media Momentum
The message is moving beyond the petition page.
The WSYP Sankɔfa Radio interview with Attorney Anthony Muhammad was a hugely successful and impactful follow-up to Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon’s earlier interview on Radio One’s Carl Nelson Show. These appearances are helping bring the issue before broader audiences and making it clear that this petition is not just gathering signatures. It is building a national and international conversation.
This petition is calling for real reform, including:
- Reviewing and suspending the prohibitive GHS 25,000 citizenship application fee
- Permanently removing DNA as an exclusionary barrier
- Ensuring Historic Diasporans have real, constituency-mandated representation
- Establishing a clear, year-round citizenship pathway
- Building a process grounded in reparative justice, not exclusion
