I’ve met people from Waukesha who never go to Milwaukee. Never. And they’re proud of it. Absolutely ridiculous.

The amount of people living in Waukesha who are so proud to never step foot in Milwaukee or GASP at the fact that someone lives is in Milwaukee is nasty but NEVER surprising

the segregation is crazy, because why is the third ward getting a million dollar project but a few blocks over there are rotting empty lots, houses, roads, buildings and trash everywhere.

Milwaukee is literally apartheid and the suburbs are guilty of creating it. Anyway donate to Metcalfe Park Community Bridges, an amazing north side mutual aid group and nonprofit! Also a big fan of African American Roundtable. Common Ground and Voces de la Frontera are bigger but very effective imo

We as a community need to do more for the areas that are being forced into becoming food deserts. That’s one of the first things that comes to mind. Everyone should have a right to food. 🥹 thank you for posting this!!

from someone living in Milwaukee, City has some big issues. Extreme violence, heavy theft and car theft. City leadership doesn't seem to care since they know they just get auto-elected because there isn't really any competition.

There’s a reason why everyone is moving to Waukesha county. Milwaukee is Milwaukees problem. They voted that way.

I grew up and live in Brookfield and have a friend the same age who grew up like 20 minutes away in MKE proper. The difference in our upbringing and opportunities and how that has affected our lives is mind blowing

Speaking as someone who grew up in Mukwonago, Waukesha County has a deep moral rot I’m not sure it will ever get out of. An entire county of “I got mine” type people.

grew up in Waukesha county. and jeez, the ignorance in that area is astonishing. they act like Milwaukee is the worst place on planet earth, and yet all have opinions about what Milwaukee needs when they refuse to step foot there outside of Summerfest.

I keep water and snacks in my car for my drive through the north side from Tosa to Grafton to pick my kids up. I see at least 3-4 homeless people every single day on my route- the least I can do is share some water and food

I run a nonprofit out of Milwaukee called Mattie’s memory and we are overlooked all the time for grants and donations because we are in Milwaukee. It’s hard working and running what I do here but I won’t quit

Good job Katie this is soooooooo huge that you’re using your voice. The segregation in Milwaukee and Chicago and the lack of help for black and brown people is unforgivable.
