Northern Michigan E3 is a local non-profit organization whose mission is to make the Northern Michigan region an area that celebrates and welcomes diversity and equality for all residents and visitors. This celebration and culture of acceptance will enhance the overall environment and opportunities for Black, Indigenous, and all people of color (BIPOC) in Northern Michigan. In addition, this will improve the economic and cultural stability of the region for years to come. This anti-racism task force is led by BIPOC local community members who organized the June 6, 2020 Solidarity with Black Lives Matter rally at the Traverse City Open Space.

Here at Northern Michigan E3, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2020. Northern Michigan E3’s purpose is to eradicate racism and build a regional movement toward racial justice and collective liberation through engagement, education, and elevation that is BIPOC-led and BIPOC-centered.
