New Staff Announcement - Welcome Zach Ehmann!
After finishing his degree in Critical Theory and Social Justice from Occidental College in Los Angeles, Zach moved to Milwaukee with a mind to put theory into practice through two years of service in AmeriCorps. He is most interested in how system design can be used to rectify social inequities on a material on social level. He spends a fair bit of time thinking about Whiteness and capitalism but has not yet forgotten how to laugh. In his free time, Zach likes to explore Milwaukee, go to shows, and watch animals do animal things. He is excited to learn new skills and put them to use for change as a part of the ICA team!
