Milwaukee, April 30: Dontre: One Year Anniversary of the Death of Dontre Hamilton

Calling all Community Members, activists, friends, and family to stand with us against injustice on our streets and in our communities.

April 30th will mark the 1 year anniversary since Dontre Hamilton was murdered by a Milwaukee Police Officer, for resting in a public park. This case has galvanized our city and allowed us to push for changes that will make our community’s safer, but the work is not done yet. Please join us for this event as we come together to honor the life of our fallen brother(s), but also gear up for a spring and summer of action in the name of justice. We are lifting up the names of our other brothers in Milwaukee/Madison as well (Derek Williams, Corey Stingley, Brandon Johnson, Darius Simmions, Tony Robinson, James Perry, etc) and paying tribute to their sacrifice.

They wanted us to go away. They wanted us to stop. They wanted us to be satisfied. But we are not, and we wont be until Black life is valued and respected in our city. We won’t be satisfied until the stigmas around mental health, and homeless are lifted from the veils or our city officials and community members. We won’t be satisfied until justice is synonymous with Milwaukee, and we have shaped this city to be a place where equality and equity are they way of life, not a unique experience for a select group of people. We will get justice! Please join us.

More details about the order of the event will come as we draw closer toward the event. Please help us out and invite your friends, your family, your organizations, and your community. We want the whole city to come out and stand with us. This is our fight for our city! Lets make some noise.
