Reparations in Los Angeles

Join in Helping to Continue the Work of Reparations in Los Angeles

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.
