The Denver City Council rep thinks the city should collect 'extra taxes from white-led businesses' and give the money to Black- and brown-owned businesses.
Added CdeBaca:"Instead of a BID collecting extra taxation from Black and brown businesses that are struggling, you could be collecting those extra taxes from white-led businesses all over the city and redistributing them to Black- and brown-owned businesses, who are not part of the BID, or are simply just Black or brown owned. And that’s one way to give back in the business form fashion.
Taking on Denver's Basic Income Project — which is supposed to give basic income to individuals experiencing homelessness or financial strife with the goal of"building a healthier society," according to the official website — CdeBaca said the project could be an important way to"return a check to an individual in an ongoing fashion" if it were actually focused on helping people get reparations.
"This once again shows just how difficult it is to be a progressive woman of color in politics. Nevertheless, she will continue being the voice of the people and delivering for District 9 just as she’s done the past four years," the statement continues.after she was unable to attend multiple meetings organized by Black leaders. Longtime political consultant John Bailey blasted her for being a"no show" for two runoff candidate forums he hosted with the Black community.
