2023 CWCRC Community Meeting - City Council Updates /plans on Reparations

COME JOIN US at Malcolm X College, 1900 West Jackson Blvd on May 17, 2023, at 6:30 pm as the Conrad Worrill Community Reparations Commission, Reparations united, Community Leaders and City of Chicago Subcommittee on Reparations host our monthly community Town Hall meeting.

The purpose of this community meeting is to allow the CWCRC to continue its work educating and organizing the community and elected officials toward creating, passing and funding reparatory proposals for local reparation efforts.

Topic: We will discuss the City of Chicago reparations history, updates, 2023-24 plans which include mayor Elect Brandon Johnson' s, 1st 100 day robust plan for reparations, choosing a selection committee and the 37 Conrad Worrill Community Reparation Commissioners application process.

Mayor Elect Brandon Johnson's - 100 Day Robust Plan:

• a fully funded Reparations Commission of $10M dollars (one million dollar per year) for 10 years; And
• an Office for the Descendants Of The Enslaved Africans, (title is yet TBD).This office will be similar to the structure of Office
  a f New Americans; And
• immediately targeting funding for a Reparative Basic Income Program that will move Black youth, from an informal economy
  (indirectly linked often to violence and crime) to the formal economy. Where they can earn a living wage; And
  
• immediately introduce the Chicago Slavery Disclosure and Redress Ordinance, replacing the non-enforced ordinance that
  exist currently. The new Ordinance will make it mandatory for corporations and institutions with a history of racist harms
  against the Black community, to either contribute to the established Reparations Fund or fund a reparative project identified by the Chicago Reparations Commission.

CWCRC Commissioners:

The 37 Community Commissioners will oversee reparations issues, research, design, and implementation for Chicago's 77 communities. The Commissioner will present their territorial reports to be consolidate and used to further extend our supportive efforts with the City of Chicago Subcommittee on Reparations and the Mayor.

Each community will be represented by a member of that community to form subcommittees that roll up to the commission. This will allow a greater, more accurate consensus of facts and numbers to be collected in formulating a true and realistic plan, in addition to the implementation for African Descendants Reparations.

All Qualified*communities and its community members will be:

• Heard and Considered
• Represented Fair and Equitable
• Given the opportunity to receive reparations
• Extended the chance to Justify their Communities Involvement
• Able to Attend Educational Workshops and Field Trips
• Granted Access to specialized Corporate D.E.I. Training and Events

* Descendants of enslaved Africans
