A lot of municipalities have been taking the issue of reparations seriously. In 2023, the San Francisco Budget and Appropriations Committee approved a $50 million advance to open an “Office of Reparations.” This is after the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voiced enthusiastic support for a plan to make a $5 million lump-sum payment to each eligible black person, as well as the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years, and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family.

In 2024, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called for half a million dollars for reparations to reduce violent crime. (Chicago had 54 shootings over Labor Day weekend and eight fatalities.)

Cori Bush introduced a resolution for $14 trillion to be paid to descendants of slaves nationwide. The entire U.S. GDP was $25 trillion in 2022, so where will the $14 trillion come from? Easy — cutting back on the defense budget and foreign aid, she said.
