Summary
Blood Equity names the measure of loss and labor extracted from ADOS lives—and the equity thereby owed. It is a spiritual and material claim: repair rooted in record.
Key Ideas
- Evidence in the Record: the Scroll documents the debt; survival proves the theft.
- Moral & Civic Grounds: covenantal justice and public restitution interlock.
- Symbol to Praxis: wearing the line is testimony; organizing is remedy.
- Non-Substitution: generic “minority” remedies do not satisfy lineage-specific claims.
Blood Equity is not a metaphor. It is a ledger.
Practice
- Maintain community archives quantifying loss and contribution.
- Support lineage-specific policy and legal efforts for repair.
- Educate congregations and families on covenantal justice.
- Carry the Witness as a visible claim—symbol with substance.
