Democrat Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti has recently formed a group with 10 other mayors across the U.S. to push for reparations for slavery.<\/p>\n<p>Mayors Organized for Reparations and Equity (MORE) has claimed all issues facing black Americans today stem from slavery, hence the need for reparations. Garcetti announced reparations programs by MORE will be funded using both private and public funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me be clear, cities will never have the funds to pay for reparations on our own,\u201d he expressed. \u201cThis is a national conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are proud to launch Mayors Organized for Reparations and Equity and will address racial inequality by:  <\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Supporting H.R. 40 sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JacksonLeeTX18?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JacksonLeeTX18<\/a><br \/>\u2705 Forming a local committee of Black leaders to guide our work<br \/>\u2705 Launching a pilot reparations program <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3KIeDW7ywR\">https:\/\/t.co\/3KIeDW7ywR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MORE Mayors (@MoreMayors) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MoreMayors\/status\/1406037046754377728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Los Angeles already has $500 thousand in tax dollars allocated to its pilot reparations program. George Soros\u2019s Open Society Foundation has recently expressed their desire to invest even more.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 11 cities currently on board with MORE, five of them are in states that didn\u2019t contain any slaves at the time the Civil War began. Garcetti\u2019s home of California infamously became a free state in 1850 as a political counter to the recently admitted slave state of Texas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, alongside mayors from communities across our nation, we launched Mayors Organized for Reparations and Equity.

However, with additional funding from the likes of Soros as well as political pressure from mayors like Garcetti, reparations could follow the mayor\u2019s desires and go nationwide.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fmr-nfl-player-could-make-play-for-ga-senate\/\">Fmr.
