 In an advisory capacity the CWCRC will liaison with the  City of Chicago Reparations Subcommittee. It has been birthed to keep in line with the original goals. The research , data and finding of the Commission will be compiled into briefings, proposals and reports to aide the subcommittee on Reparations history, needs, and disparities caused to African Descendants.   

Our community commission that would be devoted to simultaneously exploring ways to close “the racial gaps in home ownership, educational funding, health care, [and] government contracts” and assist research and proposed findings to validate and/or assist the Alderman to annually report to the Mayor.  

The City of Chicago Reparations original proposal called for the commission to include  at least eight members from the “impacted community.” We will able to manage all the communities. CWCRC will be accepting applications for these member seats to join the commission soon.  The subcommittee “will work to right the wrongs of the past."
