The Reparations Advisory Commission was established in 2021 as a Blue-Ribbon Task Force. The Commission is composed of local leading voices in activism, academia, law, and racial justice. The Commission’s work is centered on LA’s jurisdiction since the City’s 1925 Charter, and has five objectives:
- Develop and recommend on the format and goals of reparations for Black Angelenos
- Seek opportunities to fund the reparations
- Identify an academic partner to assist in the formal process of developing the program
- Maintain an active relationship with community-based organizations and key stakeholders
- Engage relevant experts to inform the development of the program
