A local non-profit known as Rid Racism Milwaukee is honoring four women in the metro Milwaukee area with a "Spotlight Award" for the work they do to advance racial equity. Rid Racism is a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to building allies and dismantling all forms of racism.
The winners are Erica Turner, executive director of Bridge the Divide; Jasmine Roberson, a youth organizer with Leaders Igniting Transformation; Camille Mays, founder and co-director of Peace Garden Project MKE; and Lynne Woehrle, co-founder of Tosa Together.
All four of the winners expressed gratitude for the honor and say it feels good to be recognized for their work.
