Project

Milwaukee County recognizes that institutional racism plays a critical role in these inequities and disparities plaguing their community, and in 2022 formed its Office of Equity (OoE) to drive Milwaukee County’s efforts to shift its institutional power and dismantle racist policies and practices. The OoE will partner with a FUSE Executive Fellow for one year to increase coordination of the County’s ecosystem of equity initiatives and build enterprise-wide and regional capacity to strengthen the County’s internal and regional racial equity infrastructure.
