In this powerful episode, Teig Whaley-Smith, chief alliance executive of the Community Development Alliance (CDA), unveils his mission to advance racial equity by providing quality, affordable homeownership for Black and Latino Milwaukeeans. Join us as we delve into his data-driven approach and collaborative strategies that are reshaping the city's housing landscape.Whaley-Smith's passion for making Milwaukee the best place on planet earth stems from his upbringing in a multiracial family and sense of urgency around fighting for housing issues out of what he calls “love, and not white guilt.”Tune in to learn more about how the CDA is uniting diverse stakeholders, combating predatory landlord practices and empowering homebuyers with down payment assistance.Episode Highlights:10:19 - What's really important in a planning process is that you do talk to people to get their stories as a form of data and that qualitative data, and then also matching that with the quantitative data that is out there. So, we use a process called GARE, the Government Alliance on Race and Equity to develop our plan, and they have a tool that prompts you to ask some really important questions because the reality is there's no such thing as a racially neutral policy.14:29 - There was a sense that we should be building 1500-square foot homes because that's what's being built in the suburbs and otherwise. If you actually talked with residents, they just want a stable place to live that they can call their own. It turns out that the average home in city in Milwaukee is a thousand square feet. If we continue to develop strategies that are building houses that are too big and too expensive, we will never have an impact on racial equity. 23:22 - In the racial equity world, those terms actually mean something different because an ally is somebody that supports you and supports your ideas in theory, as long as it doesn't cost them anything. An accomplice is when you are willing to put something on the line to say, "I'm willing to give something up to do something that you've asked me to do."Connect with Becky Dubin JenkinsLinkedInConnect with Teig Whaley-SmithLinkedInGuest Bio:Teig Whaley-Smith's spassion is building and leading collaborative teams to make Milwaukee the best place on planet earth. He believes that for Milwaukee to achieve its full potential, there needs to be a focus on the people and neighborhoods that have been left out of the larger political, social, and economic systems. Whaley-Smith was raised and continues to live in the Sherman Park neighborhood and is a proud Milwaukee Public Schools alumnus and parent.In 2022, Whaley-Smith was named the Chief Alliance Executive for the Community Development Alliance (CDA). CDA is an affiliation of community development funders and practitioner in the Milwaukee Area that led Milwaukee's first Collective Affordable Housing Plan, with the goal of advancing racial equity by providing a quality affordable home for every Milwaukeean. The plan lays out a transformative road map to support 32,000 new Black and Latino homeowners, and 32,000 homes for families making less than $15 per hour. CDA continues to successfully bring together funders and partners to implement the innovative approaches within the plan. Prior to joining CDA, Whaley-Smith served as the chief operating officer of Milwaukee County where he managed a $1.2 billion annual budget, serving one million residents. He supported the expansion of mental health services, the...

On this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Marsha Guthrie, Deputy Director of Race Forward's Government Alliance on Race and Equity's Network Strategies, and Dr. Maria Cole, co-founder of Common Purpose, come together to share their experiences organizing in Florida for free and honest public education. We begin with a powerful testimony from a student that has been directly impacted by the targeting of AP African American studies in the Florida school system, and then Marsha and Dr. Cole talk about the “summer of action” that launched a local effort to fight the weaponization of curriculum and education –– the consequences of which are being felt across the nation every single day. In the backdrop of Florida Governor Desantis' latest efforts in targeting statewide curriculum in public schools and higher education, Marsha and Dr. Cole talk about the importance of organizing deliberately, the implementation of strategies that create a visibility of the groups being affected, and building power through local elections and partnerships with elected officials. *This episode is being released just weeks after President Biden issued his second executive order mandating racial equity across the federal government.

https://youtu.be/5uqGBlcxbNo Special-interest legislation is inherent in the very nature of government. On the free market, the network of voluntary exchanges, all activity is based on individual liberty and results in mutually beneficial outcomes. The competitive profit and loss mechanism incentivizes individuals to produce goods and services that consumers desire. However, the government, the legitimated monopoly of power, lacks this mechanism and produces outcomes that are harmful to society. The incentive structure is different: unlike the Invisible Hand of the market, individuals that control the coercive Visible  Hand are encouraged to pass legislation that benefits themselves at the expense of others. The stronger the government, the more lucrative the rewards. To control the government machinery is to control the levers of cronyism.   Patrick Newman, Ph.D., Cronyism: Liberty vs. Power in America, 1607 - 1849 (Auburn, AL: Mises Institute, 2021) p. 13 Book discussed: Cronyism: Liberty versus Power in Early America, 1607–1849 Dr. Newman on Twitter Dr. Patrick Newman, a Fellow of the Mises Institute, is assistant professor of economics at Florida Southern College and a Fellow of its Center for Free Enterprise.

Robyn studied architect, civil engineering, and city and regional planning, and today she  is the Long Range Planning & Sustainability Manager at the City of West Hollywood. Robyn notes that building genuine, long-lasting relationships within and across industries and communities is the key to meaningful, district-scale sustainability work. “Transformation is happening at the local government level,” she says, “and it's so important for us to learn about what's working. That's why the networks and relationships are so valuable.” She attributes the growth of sustainability activity at the local level (even when it's not called that) to the thought leadership shared via those networks, such as the Government Alliance on Race and Equity and the Urban Sustainability Directors Network. At the moment, Robyn is working on a Climate Action & Adaptation Plan that centers equity and addresses the drought and heat that is ahead for the community of West Hollywood. And she is thinking a lot about the gnarly problem of decarbonization of existing buildings, which is a challenge facing communities of every scale.

www.commsolutionsmnm.com- In a previous episode, we discussed a group called the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE). After their collaborating with GARE, the city of Golden Valley came up with a racial equity plan. This is the trendy thing to do in many cities across the nation, including in Minnesota. Equity is a hot buzzword being pushed by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Association of Development Organizations (MADO). It is listed all throughout the Met Council's Thrive MSP 2040 plan and MADO's DevelopMN 2019 plan, and is working its way into local comprehensive plans. Books like White Fragility have really hurt this nation, because they feed into the false white privilege dogma that finds its origins in cultural Marxism's critical race theory. These people are out to make all white people into one of two kinds of racists: 1) those that admit it, throw themselves on the mercy of the woke, and become virulent antiracists themselves, or 2) Those who refuse or are too daft to acknowledge their racism. This second group needs to made to recognize their racism, according to the first group. Golden Valley created the Rising Tides Task Force out of their equity plan. Their purpose is to drive equity across the city. They are hiring a racial equity coordinator to a six-figure salary. The want to change city services, staff/elected official/volunteers, events, and opportunities to be more culturally sensitive. It's important to see what Golden Valley is doing here, so that you are prepared to recognize it in your own city. Also, our favorite ex-mayor is running for school board in District 281.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 44 °F, and today you can expect cooler highs in the 50s and a cloudy sky. I know it’s only Thursday, but this weekend’s weather looks amazing.Water coolerThe Mayor announced that his budget, which drops tomorrow, will include “$32 million for the paving of roads and maintenance and placement of sidewalks.” Breaking down the paving portion: $15 million of that will come from Richmond’s local share of the new regional transportation money and $15 million will “come out of the city’s coffers.” That’s a lot of money for paving, but, to be honest, a lot of Richmond’s roads are in pretty bad shape. I think what I’d like to see, if we’re going to invest tens of millions of dollars into paving streets, is an equitable prioritization of where we pave. Take the pavement conditions map and then overlay the red lining map, the racial dot map, the life expectancy map—there’s tons of data out there—and figure out which neighborhoods to pave first. Not just the neighborhoods who complain the most, or the neighborhoods with the most cars, or the neighborhoods with the most traffic—but the neighborhoods where, due to systemic racism, we’ve spent the last century ignoring. As for sidewalks, they don’t state it explicitly, but $32 million - $30 million for paving = $2 million for fixing and installing sidewalks. There are TONS of new sidewalk needs, particularly on Richmond’s Southside. Again, if it were me, I’d equitably prioritize this money and spend the vast, vast majority of it in the 8th and 9th Districts. And because I can’t not: 1) All of this paving is a huge opportunity to stripe bike lanes everywhere, and 2) The more people we get out of cars and onto their bikes or taking the bus or walking around, the less often we’ll need to pave our streets.Oh, hey, related: City Council’s Education and Human Services committee will meet today and consider RES. 2020-R013, which would request that the Mayor put $221,770 in the budget for racial equity training and an equity survey. Richmond is part of the Government Alliance on Race and Equity, and this money would pay for those folks to train City leadership and staff as well as set up an internal Core Equity Team that “will pilot a racial equity tool within the City, utilize data to develop and track racial equity strategies and action plan.” The funds would also go towards an equity survey of current City policy. To me, this seems like money well spent—as long as the recommendations that come out of this process are implemented and taken seriously. Richmond loves a study, but doesn’t necessary love doing things with the results of a study. Sounds like the training and survey will take about six months, so, assuming this ends up in the budget, lets check back later this year and see how things have progressed.Justin Mattingly at the Richmond Times-Dispatch says the General Assembly has agreed to give localities control of their Confederate monuments

When we talk about race equity in city government, we're talking about city services, policies, and practices that work for everyone in a community, regardless of their race. Cities — even smaller ones and/or those in Greater Minnesota — have an opportunity to lead in this work. Hear Gordon Goodwin, Midwest region project manager with the Government Alliance on Race and Equity, discuss his recent work with a cohort of Minnesota cities. The group has worked on using race equity analysis to begin to address unintentional biases in everyday practices. Willmar Mayor Marv Calvin, a participant in the cohort, shares examples of his city's race equity efforts and lessons he's learned as Willmar strives to be a welcoming community for all.

As we head into the holidays and many of us prepare to enjoy family, friends, and fellowship, what better time to take a look back at 2018 in Spartanburg? It's a year that saw the completion of the largest historic renovation in Downtown Spartanburg's history, cap-stoning yet another year of unprecedented growth in our city center. It's a year that saw leadership changes for City Government, with two new City Council members and a new City Manager. It's a year when the City's commitment to equity and fairness received a vocal boost, with the groundbreaking of a new Dr. T.K. Gregg Community Center, the launch of a new master planning process for the Highland neighborhood, and the City's decision to join the Government Alliance on Race and Equity. This week on the podcast, we're taking a look back at all of that and a lot more of what 2018 brought to Spartanburg and offer a peek at some of what the next year will hold for us. Listen below for more!
