Join us on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 7:30 PM EST (6:30 PM CST · 4:30 PM PST) for the National Reparations Town Hall, streaming live from Historic Second Baptist Church in Evanston, Illinois. This special program is part of the Fifth Annual Symposium on Local & State Reparations and marks the sixth anniversary of Evanston’s historic local reparations initiative.

The town hall will bring together local leaders, community members, and national partners to reflect on Evanston’s progress and share updates from cities developing their own local reparations models.

Brought to you in part by the City of Evanston, the Reparations Stakeholders Authority Evanston (RSAE), the National African American Reparations Commission (NAARC), and FirstRepair.
