Greater Together Milwaukee

Greater Together is a nonprofit organization that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion in Milwaukee's creative occupations.

Sixty years ago, the United States Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision stripped away constitutional sanctions for segregation by race, made equal opportunity in education the law of the land and legally challenged segregation in all aspects of life.

Sixty years later, however, we are witnessing a tragic return to the circumstances that inspired those great efforts of our forefathers. Nowhere, perhaps, is it more pronounced than in metropolitan Milwaukee, where our neighborhoods remain some of the most segregated and impoverished in America.

These heartbreaking statistics were the driving force behind the Greater Together Coalition.

MISSION
Inspire creative industry professionals to use their talent to design a more diverse and reflective future.
VISION
A creative industry where everyone can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.
GOAL
Unlock the promise of Greater Milwaukee by unleashing the promise in us all.
STRATEGY
Inspire members of Milwaukee’s Creative Industries will take a leadership role in creating just and fair inclusion into the industry so that all can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.
  • Start within our organizations, industries, businesses and the work we do every day
  • Create campaigns that increase awareness and deeper understanding of the issues of racial inequity
  • Explore approaches to positive change for others to follow
  • Inspire the pursuit of a creative career within communities of color that are under represented in creative industries.
  • Support research and create tools that help others drive change

We are sponsored by AIGA Wisconsin. We are the originators of the Greater Together Challenge, a radically open competition of ideas focused on dismantling segregation in Greater Milwaukee.
