Subject: Indivisible Illinois State Call Hosted by Social Justice Alliance – Evanston Reparations
Evanston, Illinois has become the first U.S. city to pass legislation to pay Reparations to its Black residents for generations of damages and discrimination. With 62% of the country against paying Reparations and decades of unsuccessful attempts to get H.R.40 passed in Congress, many are asking “how did Evanston do it?” and most importantly “is it enough?.” Justin Marcoviche-Garnett of the Reparations Stakeholders Authority of Evanston and Kelly Bee of Indivisible IL 9 Antiracist Work Group and Indivisible REI Illinois, explores these topics along with the background of how we reached this historic moment. Join us to learn how Evanston is setting the template of what ’40 acres and a mule’ is today in the United States.
