The members are set to serve indefinite terms, as they create a comprehensive reparations plan over the next two years, gathering input from the city's African American residents on prioritizing issues such as housing, education, violence prevention, workforce development, health care access, and food disparity, among others, according to Walton's office. "The appointments of this reparations advisory committee is an historical event, as I am unaware of any other legislated body in place to prioritize injustices and create a true reparations plan in a package for Black people," Walton said in a statement. Walton said he hopes the committee will "ensure that we not only improve outcomes for Black people in San Francisco, but also that we repair the damage of the past and make compensation tangible in order to overturn negative outcomes and create generational wealth."
