Monique Stanton: Advancing Equity in Michigan
This week we’re joined by Monique Stanton to discuss what changes need to be made in Michigan to address inequity and substantively improve lives in our state.

Monique Stanton, President and CEO of the Michigan League for Public Policy (MLPP), is committed to social justice, advancing equity in Michigan, and promoting the well-being of our communities. She has dedicated much of her career to public advocacy and improving the lives and circumstances of those facing tremendous barriers. With inequities increasing due to COVID-19, Monique’s work is more important than ever.

She joins us this week to talk about the pressing issues Michiganders face, advancing equity in an age of polarization, and why MLPP is her dream job.
