Join in Helping to Continue the Work of Reparations in Los Angeles
June 3, 2024
The work of helping to make reparations real for LA County residents is up for a vote this Tuesday June 4 at the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell has presented a motion that calls for LA County to produce a framework for reparations, issue an apology to Black residents and their ancestors and descendants, and provide targeted support for economic empowerment and wealth-building, including technical assistance to access grant and loan funding. In honor of Juneteenth, Supervisor Mitchell’s motion also calls for a day of free access to County museums and beaches for those who have been harmed and continue to be impacted by systemic racism. Here is a link to view the full motion.
