The City of Chicago is engaging Black residents to help shape the city's long-promised reparations plan, with a new campaign called Repair Chicago. The campaign includes public forums and a survey to examine the impacts of systemic discrimination. This comes as a class-action lawsuit is moving ahead against Evanston, which became the first municipality in the country to create a reparations program in 2019. The lawsuit alleges that the race-based eligibility requirement for reparations violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. The U.S. was one of three countries voted against a United Nations resolution supporting a call for a resolution affirming the need to address the historical wrongs of enslavement. The African Descent-Citizens Reparations Commission (ADCRC) released a report last month outlining inequality for Black residents in Illinois, highlighting how anti-Black racism and white supremacy has spread into housing, education, criminal justice, politics, and the economy.
