Put an end to the toxic managerial racism that plagues the City of Grand Rapids. For years, residents and community organizations alike have cried out for change, stormed city commission meetings, rallied in the streets, drawing eyes and ears to the world-class community in moments of embarrassing blunder or weakness.

LINC Up is calling for the immediate and radical implementation of the policy and practice changes that residents have been demanding for years.
