"As Mayor of the City of Lansing, I am committed to continuing to work toward racial equity," Andy Schor said.
"We must all work together to ensure that no one is left behind or treated differently based upon race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other distinguishing characteristics. The city must lead by example through a diverse workforce that is both trusted and representative of our residents."

A task of this group will be to provide recommendations on handling any disparities or the lack of participation of minorities in employment or other aspects of city government.
