Happy Belated Kwanzaa, Senator Grothman

“Almost no black people today care about Kwanzaa,” stated WI State Senator Glenn Grothman.

It’s clear he understands nothing about Umoja, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa that means unity. His press release denouncing Kwanzaa in the new year was not supported by any valid or reliable research. His assertions were conjured up by his lack of cultural sensitivity toward people who share different beliefs than him.

Since State Senator Grothman doesn’t know what the tradition is all about, we’ve decided to brighten his day with a belated Kwanzaa card. Let’s uphold the seven principles of Kwanzaa – unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith – by sending him a special card today. Maybe our greeting card will inspire him to have a change of heart!

Sign the card today: bit.ly/HappyKwanzaa

City of Milwaukee & State of WI Take Steps to Restore Suspended Licenses

Although Wisconsin’s Voter ID law has been put on hold for the time being, the case has been appealed and is still in the courts, which means Wisconsin residents without photo ID could still lose their right to vote. Fortunately, the Governor’s Task Force on Minority Unemployment is working to reduce the number of people who have suspended driver’s licenses. The initiative is primarily aimed at helping unemployed people obtain a means of transportation, and has the added benefit of getting them the ID they’ll need to vote.

On Saturday, August 25th, the city will be hosting the first Driver’s License Recovery Session that will assist adult jobseekers that have a suspended driver’s license due to failure to pay fines in the City of Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Municipal Court, Department of Transportation, Goodwill Industries and other partners are teaming up to arrange payment plans to lift suspensions for those with non-moving violations only.

If you know someone in the city of Milwaukee who might qualify for this program, click here for the details!
