This article is to impress upon you, the VOTER in Milwaukee, that it is time for
our Charter Officers to LOOK-LIKE the majority population of the City of
Milwaukee. They are African American and People of Color. Why?

Besides creating a model of EQUITY for All that will lay the foundation to break
the high bar of POVERTY, here are some additional reasons:

1. Removal of "INSTITUTIONAL discrimination" that has marginalized African

Americans for decades and trapped generations through segregation, bigotry,
prejudicial laws, lack of hiring, lack of education attainment, use of mandated
funding resources, incarceration and TAXATION WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION.

2. We have NOT had the leadership for Smart Growth to INCLUDE the largest
urban city in Wisconsin - Milwaukee.

3. The City of Milwaukee resident population brings mega federal funding

annually through “special funding” i.e., CDBG-Community Development Block
Grant, education, transportation, housing, healthcare, employment, people of Color
business development, and attaching federal funding brought by People of Color
for quality of life and economic development based on the population from Census
data. The funding is given/sent to Caucasians and their cronies with NO approval
of the constituents and NO guarantees – paybacks - for Milwaukeeans.

It has created an oligarchy of 7 counties (the Milwaukee 7) that dictate the

"monopoly-oligopoly" policies in the city hall of Milwaukee as well as the county
site of Milwaukee.

4. Milwaukeeans are brutalized, bullied, profiled and sent to prison by HARSH

laws designed to incarcerate African Americans. Wisconsin has the largest
INCARCERATION population. TRUTH & SENTENCING law was put in
place to incarcerate African Americans and boost the Industrial Complex.

5. Laws denying civil rights of citizens INCARCERATED – including the right to

VOTE.

6. The federal funding is parsed out and given to outsiders who live in
neighboring cities-villages, even from other states while its majority residential
stakeholders are mired in Enduring Concentrated Poverty (a classification given
in 2008 by the Federal Reserve and Brookings Institution) and “institutional
racism-bigotry”.

Milwaukee is the largest city (604,110 - 2019) in Wisconsin with majority of

People of Color and the largest race of color is African American.

It is the 21st Century, the year 2020; we Must MOVE the NEEDLE for
Inclusiveness starting with NEW Charter officers of Color on APRIL 7, 2020.
