Solutions-focused equity project secures $100,000 grant

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel received $100,000 for a solutions-driven project called "Milwaukee’s Promise," (https://www.jsonline.com/in-depth/news/special-reports/2020/06/25/milwaukee-has-made-little-progress-toward-equity-how-can-change/3181671001/) led by reporter James E. Causey. This project, launched in June 2020, is focused on how to build a place where every life is valued regardless of skin color, which Causey says Milwaukee used to do to a much greater degree. The project also attracted support from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, which gave an additional grant to support the work of a Journal Sentinel photographer.
