Advocates renew push to launch reparations office in San Francisco

Historic reparations have been a headlining issue in San Francisco, but city leaders have balked at a proposal to create a reparations office at City Hall.

On Wednesday, groups were set to make a renewed push for the office during the city's budget hearing.

The Board of Supervisors in March voted unanimously to accept a draft resolution on a list of reparations, including cash payments to eligible Black residents. But recently the mayor and a budget appropriations committee voiced opposition to spending millions of dollars to create an office at City Hall.
