| Description |
The Campaign for a Sustainable Milwaukee is a broad-based community effort to define and implement an alternative economic development plan for the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Unions, community organizations and political leaders are working together to create and retain family-supporting jobs, build healthy
communities and restore natural environments. |
| Goal / Mission |
Sustainable Milwaukee's four task forces address major priorities: jobs and training, credit, transportation and the environment, and education. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
Sustainable Milwaukee focused on wages and transit in 1997. One success, called the "dignity campaign," resulted in an increased number of care providers per nursing home care patient. |
