The Evolution of the East Metro Civic Alliance
The East Metro Civic Alliance (EMCA) was founded in August 2018 as the East Metro Urban League to continue the great work of the Saint Paul Urban League led by Willie Mae Wilson until her retirement in 2006 but was required to change the name to EMCA.
EMCA will be an expansion of the rich East Metro legacy for bringing diverse community leaders together to ensure equal opportunity for all.
The East Metro has evolved some of Minnesota’s greatest organizations and community leaders, and we intend to add to the legacy. Through collaborations and partnerships, we will work to achieve a greater quality of life in the East Metro.
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure equal opportunity for all so to sustain the East Metro Twin Cities as the best place to live, work and socialize in Minnesota.
Our Vision
In five years, the East Metro Civic Alliance will be the catalyst for policies, programs, and innovative collaborations working to expand multi-cultural understanding, socioeconomic development, and poverty eradication in Ramsey, Washington, and Dakota Counties.
