LISTEN to Episode #5: Don’t Fall for the “Okie- Doke”

The Milwaukee Bucks are one game away from winning the NBA Championship and that is worthy of celebration, however, they have not put an end to staggering economic disparities and racial segregation that we face in Milwaukee. During this week’s show, we discuss not being fooled into believing symbols equal solutions. We also take a look at where The City of Milwaukee plans to allocate the approximately $394.2 million in direct American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act assistance and dive into the hurdles of trying to reach our elected officials to say where we would like to see that money spent. JoAnna introduces the Movement Politics Academy launching this October for folks interested in running for office who want to see structural change in their community and our state.
