  • City of Evanston Local Reparations

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    In December 2020, the City of Evanston's Reparations Subcommittee recommended that the City Council discuss a proposed restorative housing program as part of the city's local reparations initiative. The proposal drew on N'COBRA and NAARC definitions of reparations as a process of repairing and restoring communities harmed by institutional injustice, emphasizing that remedies must be defined by those who suffered the harm and managed through independent structures. The city had established the Reparations Fund in November 2019 with $10 million in funding from a 3% Municipal Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax, tasking the Reparations Subcommittee with conducting a feasibility study on housing assistance programs and economic development opportunities for Black residents to address historical wealth and opportunity gaps.

  • Resolution 126-R-19, “Establishing the City of Evanston Reparations Fund and the Reparations Subcommittee.

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    On November 14, 2019, Evanston established a dedicated reparations fund for African American residents by directing all revenue from the city's adult use cannabis tax (capped at 3% of gross receipts) into a separate municipal account, with the Chief Financial Officer authorized to manage these funds. The resolution followed the City Council's September 2019 approval of the Equity & Empowerment Commission's recommendations and a subcommittee feasibility study focused on housing assistance and economic development programs for African American residents and entrepreneurs. The fund also permits donations from outside organizations, corporations, and individuals.
