I wanted to put together a comprehensive list of Pete Buttigieg's work as Mayor to promote racial justice and equity. Please note that many of these items were achieved by or in conjunction with the team members, community leaders and citizens he has empowered to help build a more equitable society. It truly is a team effort. Please also note that, while these efforts have clearly been extensive, these are complex problems and often require solutions far beyond the reach of city government. South Bend has made some huge strides, yet, like every city, it clearly has a long way to go. But the main thing I think this list shows is how deeply its Mayor, government, and community cares about finding solutions.
Feel free to share this post or copy/paste it as needed. Please let me know if there's anything that's missing. Inspiration and a starting point for my research came from this twitter thread from Nicole Lockney and this twitter thread from RomanceWritersForPete.
