Investigations & Current Activities
Mandate
IC3CSI (a department of The Reparation Nation Limited) conducts independent investigations into suspect anti-Black racist activity across finance, policing, employment, housing, education, health, media, and civic spaces. We document patterns, preserve evidence, and prepare cases for remedy through policy change, civil action, regulatory escalation, and community safeguarding.
These pages are holding-stage materials. We do not collect personal data here.
What We Investigate
- Direct discrimination, harassment, hostile environment, or failure to make reasonable adjustments.
- Institutional practices with disparate impact on IC3/IC6 people.
- Financial harms: bank account closures, algorithmic bias, unfair lending, fraud-related denials.
- Public-sector conduct: policing practices, education exclusions, social care decisions.
- Media & platform harms: profiling, demonetisation, shadow bans, biased moderation.
Current Activities
- Active case triage and evidence preservation.
- Dossiers and timelines for selected matters under the IC3CSI Investigation Plan.
- Engagement with regulators, ombuds, and local authorities where appropriate.
- Community briefings and know‑your‑rights materials.
