Eleven mayors, including two in California, announced today their commitment to support federal reparations legislation and establish pilot programs for Black residents in their cities as part of a new nationwide coalition.

The mayors of Los Angeles and Sacramento will join nine other mayors, from cities as populous as Denver to tiny Tullahassee, Okla., one of the oldest surviving Black towns in the West, on the Mayors Organized for Reparations & Equity coalition.

The Los Angeles mayor and Black members of the city council will also convene a seven-member Reparations Advisory Committee, which will recommend the goals and format of a reparations pilot program in Los Angeles and make suggestions on how to pay for it.
