Cambridge Racial Justice & Equity Commission
In September 2021, the city of Cambridge unanimously passed policy #183 to establish a Racial Justice & Equity Commission. This commission was established to research into the harm that was caused by way of chattel slavery of African people through the Transatlantic slave trade and War on Drugs in Cambridge, MA. 

Read more about the policy passing, as well as the passing of reparation funds (from the transatlantic slave trade), and the racial equity restitution fund from the War on Drugs:

Learn more about the policy here:
"Adequate, effective and prompt reparation is intended to promote justice by redressing gross violations of international human rights law or serious violations of international humanitarian law. Reparation should be proportional to the gravity of the violations and the harm suffered. In accordance with its domestic laws and international legal obligations, a State shall provide reparation to victims for acts or omissions which can be attributed to the State and constitute gross violations of international human rights law or serious violations of international humanitarian law. In cases where a person, a legal person, or other entity is found liable for reparation to a victim, such party should provide reparation to the victim or compensate the State if the State has already provided reparation to the victim."
There are five steps that must be met according to United Nations as part of reparations:
1. CESSATION, ASSURANCES AND GUARANTEES OF NON-REPETITION
2. RESTITUTION AND REPATRIATION
3. COMPENSATION
4. SATISFACTION
5. REHABILITATION
