Documentation Assistance for Descendants

Freedom Assembly, INC provides a specialized documentation assistance program aimed at helping Black Californians who are descendants of enslaved persons. This program addresses the challenge many face in obtaining historical documentation that traces their ancestry back to 1865. Securing such documents is essential for participating in upcoming reparations programs starting in August 2024, as outlined by the State of California. 

By facilitating access to vital records like birth certificates, coupled with affidavits but excluding sensitive information like social security numbers or driver's licenses, Freedom Assembly ensures that applicants can successfully claim their rightful benefits. If you or your family members need help navigating this process, contact us today to get started with your documentation.
