plans to hold a public engagement forum called\u00a0Repair Chicago\u00a0to \u201cgather lived experiences of harm of Black Chicagoans\u201d in an effort to provide reparations for black residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour experience is evidence, and we\u2019ve placed it at the center of our work,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cBy engaging directly with residents, we are grounding this work in the voices and lived realities of the people it is meant to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first event took place Tuesday, and two more events are scheduled through April.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson\u2019s office announced the Repair Chicago effort would involve \u201cbus tours, panel discussions, town halls and hearings,\u201d helping the task force members gather input for the administration\u2019s reparations study.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe community engagement process will gather input from Chicagoans across the city to better understand Black Chicagoans\u2019 experiences across generations and how systemic racism has shaped their lives, opportunities and well-being,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes two years after Johnson named his chief equity officer, Carla Kupe, to lead the reparations\u00a0task force with $500,000 in funding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image

committed against Black Chicagoans and their ancestors through the form of reparations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson\u2019s effort to implement reparations comes while the\u00a0city endures financial strains. Fox News Digital previously reported that Chicago, the nation\u2019s third-largest city, is facing a corporate fund budget gap of more than $1 billion, while its 2025 fiscal year is projected to close with a deficit of about $150 million with about two-fifths of the budget going toward debt service and pension costs.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Johnson said\u00a0in April the city was \u201cat a crossroads\u201d and had to \u201cessentially do more with less,\u201d while simultaneously slamming the Trump administration for reportedly threatening federal funding, calling it a \u201cdifferent scenario we weren\u2019t under before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chicago could follow several states and local municipalities looking to implement reparations to some degree. On the state level,\u00a0Illinois\u2019 reparations commission\u00a0released a report laying out what it called the state\u2019s history of harms against black residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Evanston, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, was the first to pay black residents in reparations to cover\u00a0housing\u00a0expenses. The program issues $25,000 direct cash payments to black residents and descendants of black residents who lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Many have proposed compensation to rectify historical harms to blacks. Some of these programs have\u00a0faced legal challenges\u00a0considering that they have race-based implications.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a San Francisco resident is claiming that the city\u2019s reparations fund is\u00a0dividing the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Johnson\u2019s office did not respond to\u00a0Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
