About wibailoutpeople

We are a part of the national Bail Out The People movement which formed in 2008 to fight against the bailouts to the banks. Since then we have been in numerous fights against poverty, racism and war. We demand that the people be bailed out not the banks, a moratorium on all foreclosures, a federal jobs program now and other demands. We have been participating in the Wisconsin people's uprising, Bloombergville in NYC and numerous other people's actions.

SIGN PETITION: UW Milwaukee cut ties with Milwaukee PD, No ‘detention centers’ on campus!


https://bit.ly/305JpRV

To Whom It Concerns,

It has come to our attention that campus is working with the local police department to use the campus as a holding area during the protests against police brutality. As alumni and community members of UW-Milwaukee, we chose UW Milwaukee because of the diversity and acceptance that was touted during our time on campus. It is with anger and shame that we learned that our school Is not upholding the very values they boast.
Innovation, leadership, and collaboration that fosters learning through education, scholarship and research, and public service.
Opportunities for open inquiry to support the positive transformation of individuals (students, faculty, and staff), institutions, and communities.
A caring, compassionate, and collegial community characterized by mutual respect and safety.
Diversity in all of its definitions, including who we are, how we think, and what we do.
Ethical behavior, based on integrity, accountability, and responsibility
Transparent and inclusive decision making.
Stewardship of resources that promote sustainability, prosperity, and equity for all in the local and global communities.
Pride in our institution, our unique qualities, and our vital role.
We have kept our school afloat while you have sold your students and community out. You have not been transparent or a community leader, and we need that to change. We demand that UW-Milwaukee cut ties with Milwaukee PD and no longer use our campus as a jail. Until UW-Milwaukee sees fit to live up to their values, we as alumni will no longer be sending money and will actively encourage prospective students to go elsewhere until the system learns to value black lives.

Milwaukee African-American Civic Engagement Roundtable Demands for a NEW BEGINNING, #DefundThePolice

African-American Civic Engagement Roundtable Shares a List of Some of Our Current Demands

“You cannot judge a victim by the way they fight back. The Black community is being choked and we are fighting for their lives.” Morathi Adams, The Movement for Black Lives and Freedom, Inc

MILWAUKEE, WI — The African-American Roundtable is committed to action for justice on behalf of individuals (both past and present) who have lost their lives at the hands of police violence. The events that have transpired in Milwaukee over the past week have been a display of community pain and frustration toward unfair policing practices and systemic racism. The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the aftermath of the ongoing protests across the nation have been unfortunate, and revealing. His death has reignited the conversation around policing in America which has yet to be resolved. Unfortunately, there have been recent cases, like Joel Acevedo’s murder, locally that mirror the tragedy that has sparked national unrest.

“We’re going through the consequence of white supremacy not being addressed, racism not being addressed, divestment from communities not being addressed,” said Markasa Tucker, Director of the African American Roundtable. “So much more has not been addressed that people shouldn’t expect any other response, referring to the protests and when looting occurs.”

Thanks to the over 65 respected organizations and leaders in Wisconsin who signed on. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
