LiberateMKE - African American Roundtable
LiberateMKE started a campaign that involved having authentic conversations with residents to find out what a liberated Milwaukee would look like to them. We want to build meaningful relationships to bring about community change.
Over the last five years the police budget has grown by over $70 million and every other city department has seen little to no growth. We know that instead of police, we could invest in programs that address the root causes of poverty and violence, like jobs, public health and housing.
We surveyed a variety of residents including students and elders at meetings and community events throughout the city asking where they would like to see monies allocated. Area residents lifted up included youth employment and transportation, economic opportunity through job training and financial literacy, and non-police violence prevention projects such as violence interrupter programs.
LiberateMKE is a campaign driven by the African-American Roundtable.
The African-American Roundtable (AART) is a coalition led by and serving the African-American community in Milwaukee. AART exists to empower and organize our community to transform policies so we can thrive and live at our greatest potential.
We collaborate and support our partners and allies to show power, amplify each others’ voices, nurture leadership, promote racial equity and accessibility, and pass policies to radically change the lives of African-Americans in Milwaukee.
The Africa American Roundtable focuses on improving the quality of life for Black people in the City of Milwaukee while engaging residents in local civics. Our campaigns will specifically increase civic participation and knowledge, continue the work of advancing and supporting violence prevention work while developing Black leaders/leadership.
