  • 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.

    Evanston, IL

    On April 24, the Community Advisory on Public Safety Commission passed Statement 24-01, opposing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism, which the commission argues conflates criticism of Israeli government policy with antisemitic speech and threatens constitutionally protected civic discourse. The statement was prompted by accusations of antisemitism leveled against CAPS after it called for a US ceasefire resolution in Gaza, and it reaffirms CAPS's commitment to condemning actual antisemitism while defending the right to advocate for changes in US policy toward Israel without being labeled antisemitic. The resolution passed 6-0-0 and emphasizes that legitimate concerns about antisemitism must be distinguished from restrictions on free speech regarding government policies.
