What is the Coalition of the Willing?
The Coalition of the Willing is E5's network of individuals, institutions, and partner organizations. To be of the Coalition is to commit: (i) a financial stake of any size, (ii) four convenings per year, (iii) eight hours of presence at the work, and (iv) introduce two others to what we are building.
What is Restitution 246?
Restitution 246 is E5's disciplined research framework for calculating wage-loss and opportunity-loss for American chattel slavery. We apply the Craemer (2015) wage-hour methodology. This is one research lane of the reparations question — not the whole road. The framework is open and auditable.
Is E5 a political organization?
No. E5 is a 501(c)(3) think tank. We publish research and build institutions. Per IRS regulations, we do not endorse political candidates, contribute to campaigns, or engage in political campaign intervention. Our research speaks for itself.

What programs does E5 run?
Three flagship programs: McCartney Academy (Black-centered K–12), FarmBlock (cooperative urban agriculture), and Block to the Boardroom (civic leadership pipeline). Additional programs include the Restitution 246 research framework, Innovation Lab, and First Offering store.
What makes E5 different?
E5 is built to be a sovereign institution — not a program, not a charity, not a grant-chaser. We build infrastructure that outlasts funding cycles. We operate agentic-first (AI agents under human direction). We publish all research openly. We are Black-first: built by and for the lineage.
Can I volunteer?
Yes. The Coalition welcomes volunteers with skills in legal, technical, research, or community work. Eight hours of presence is the covenant. Apply via our Coalition Application page.
Where is E5 based?
E5 Enclave Incorporated is founded and based in Liberty City, Miami, Florida. Our work extends from Liberty City to the nation.
