What is ReRAN?
The Reconstruction Era Reparation Act Now or ReRAN was created in 2023 by Black Chicagoans because of losing their homes due to the increase of county and city property taxes. Our solution is a demand that Black Chicagoans pay NO Property Taxes as a part of Reparations.
The Reconstruction Era Reparation Act Now or ReRAN was created in 2023 by Black Chicagoans. ReRAN founders were fed up with so many Black people in the city losing their homes due to the increase of county and city property taxes.
According to Illinoisanswers.org, "In 2021, the housing equity advocacy group studied the 1,400 tax sale evictions enforced by the county sheriff over the last decade. More than 90% of evictions took place in neighborhoods where Black or Brown people make up the majority of residents. More than 70% of those evicted every year as a result of the tax sale process are Black" (2022).
We know one way to build generational wealth is through owning real estate. Historically, high taxes, along with other discriminatory housing practices, have hindered Black Chicagoans from maintaining home ownership, and subsequently, obstructed economic advancement. This program will shield Black Chicagoans from displacement by helping them keep their homes to pass down to their children and grandchildren. ReRAN is not a substitute for reparations. Rather, it is a start and support for reparations for Black Chicagoans and ultimately all Black People in the United States.
The upcoming elections in 2024 are key to the future of ReRAN as we will seek to gain support from incumbents and newly seeking elected officials to make ReRAN a policy.
The goal is to identify political officials and vote for those who will support and promote this policy as a part of their political agendas. Once elected, we, the citizens, must hold these elected officials accountable.
As a part of or in support of reparations for Black Chicagoans, we want Black Chicagoans to PAY NO PROPERTY TAXES
