The SF Reparations Committee got input from Black San Franciscans in a listening session Sunday.

She added that, for her, it wasn’t just atonement for enslavement, but was also about unfulfilled government promises and decades of taxation without providing equal services. Conversation about potential forms of reparations ranged beyond financial compensation, and often focused on systematic and on-going solutions.
“And how can we sustain ourselves and move forward?” said Paula Farmer, of Glide’s Racial Justice group. “And that could be through education. That could be through health care. There are so many ways that reparations can make an impact on our community.”
