Equity in the City of Monroe

Creating an equitable and inclusive community is greatly affected by decisions that are made by elected officials and staff at City Hall which includes the Monroe Police Department.  Planning for social equity means recognizing practices and policies that have had a disparate impact on certain communities and actively working with affected residents to create better communities for all. The Monroe Equity Community works with City partners and leaders to ensure Monroe has equitable municipal policies and laws.

ADVOCACY

As a collaborative, we use our privileges, our platforms, and our positions to support one another in the work of creating equity, inclusion, diversity, and belonging in our community. If you have experienced a situation that you need to talk through, have identified an equity issue that you would like to start working to change, or if you have witnessed racism, homophobia, transphobia, or other forms of marginalization of people by our city government, in schools, or out in the community but fear retaliation from co-workers or peers, please email us or fill out this form.

​If you are in physical danger or an emergency situation, call 911.
