Asheville, North Carolina’s Community Reparations Commission finally released a list of recommendations it wants leaders to pursue, including a guaranteed income program and the establishment of a reparations accountability council.
The commission recently released its list of recommendations in four specific categories, one of which is a guaranteed income program. According to a document detailing the recommendation, this program would be“as a way to ensure basic needs are met for individuals with low-incomes and assets” in the form of monthly cash payments with “no strings attached” and “no work requirements.”
The council concluded that “Black People have been consistently and widely impoverished by discriminatory wages paid in every sector of the local economy regardless of credentials and experience” and have “experienced disproportionate unemployment rates and reduced opportunities to fully participate in the local job market.”
The council is also recommending additional support to existing neighborhoods to “empower historically African-American communities” in the form of grants. Minimum funds should be, according to the council, at least $250,000 per community.
