City of Oakland Pays $12K+ per month - Race & Equity Consultant


"Dante James, who heads the Office of Equity and Human Rights in Portland, Ore., will steer the City of Oakland's new department on Race & Equity until permanent employees can be found, with a salary of $12,250 a month.  The Oakland City Council voted unanimously in June to grant the new agency $467,000 each year in perpetuity, approving an ordinance to ensure its annual funding. The city is kicking in another $150,000 to get it started. Eventually a director and program analyst designated for the agency will be hired and they will be expected to train other city employees to understand how racism is entrenched in government and society.."
