Pulse of the Streets
There are not just two Americas… there are three, four, five, and six… it all depends who you are and where you come from. To some folks Milwaukee is the lakefront, fair trade coffee, and Harley. To others its street ball on courts with no nets, sanctifying soul searching 3 hour sermons on Sunday, and a real and deep anger that burns because other people’s privilege makes you invisible. To find out what folks really think and feel come to the Pulse of the Streets. Serving it straight up, NO CHASER for everyone to see, hear, experience, and ponder.
The resident's of the A.O. Smith/Tower Automotive neighborhood and everyone who feels personally connected to the site have decided it is time they build a united front for change in their neighborhood. They are researching Community Advisory Board models around the country with the hopes of creating their own board here in Milwaukee. The board will not be a 501c3, will be autonomous from any funding strings and will speak directly to the needs and the political concerns of the residents.
Residents who are interested in helping this effort should attend the next neighborhood meeting on May 10th, 2008 at the Center Street Library. (27th and Fond du Lac) at 10:15 AM.
This meeting is open to anyone who cares about what is happening in our city and believes that residents should have the opportunity to compete for the jobs our money creates!
