Thank you for supporting the CWCRC. On October 27, 2023, we submitted budget recommendations to include reparations in the 2024 Chicago Budget to achieve a Robust Reparations plan including a fully funded commission, Office of the Descendants of Enslaved Africans and a new Slavery Era Disclosure and Redress Ordinance

Mayor Brandon Johnson Makes a historic announcement for Reparations during the Juneteenth Ceremony

 

On June 17, 2024 during the City of Chicago's Juneteenth Flag Raising Celebration, Mayor Brandon Johnson made the nation news when he took two very important steps towards advancing reparations in Chicago. First, he signed an Executive Order to establish a Reparation Task Force. And, secondly and perhaps the largest achievement in Chicago Reparations to date, he issued a formal apology for the city's involvement in chattel slavery.

This is a historical moment, Mayor Johnson's apology officially qualifies as one of the five components of reparations - SATISFACTION.
