can I do?” Well, if you visit our Rid Racism Milwaukee Facebook page Calendar of Events, you’ll find listings of 188 special events being offered in the Metro Milwaukee community between now and the end of summer. Some of these events are specifically focused
on issues related to racial justice, while others are simply a celebration of racial/cultural diversity. And the good news is that more than 90% of these events are FREE!</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">This issue of our newsletter offers just a sampling of those 188 events with a reminder that we can learn a lot and better connect with each other through art,
literature, film, dance, theater and music as well as cultural/ethnic festivals and community block parties. Want to become more engaged as a racial justice advocate? Check out some of these events and make an effort to get up, get out and get engaged.<br>
<br>
Be a little adventurous and explore communities beyond your own neighborhood. It’s summertime and there’s never a better time to get out and about – whether you’re drawn to a book discussion, salsa classes, a cultural festival, sampling a new ethnic restaurant
or joining a racial justice campaign.<br>
<br>
We’ve packed so many opportunities into this newsletter that we decided to group the events into categories to help you peruse and cruise through all the announcements to find programs of special interest to you.

of Rid Racism MKE, will be giving two free presentations based on the talks about segregation that have been packing venues from Shorewood to Waukesha to Milwaukee's Southside. If you haven’t yet heard this powerful presentation, we hope you can attend one
of these two programs in Mequon July 23 or Milwaukee Aug. 9!<br>
<br>
His presentation, tailored to each neighborhood or city where he speaks, examines the role played by national and local policies and social systems. These systems have promoted and maintained an artificial separation between white and black citizens – and other
residents of color. Finally, he explains how segregation negatively impacts the economic and social well-being of all the residents of this region. The talk is followed by a Q & A session.</span></span></p>

there were heartwrenching moments shared in the back of a police car between Castile's girlfriend and her daughter. The video released shows Diamond Reynolds with her four-year-old daughter. An emotional Reynolds is heard shouting an expletive, and her daughter
pleads with her to be quiet so that she won't "get shooted." Later, when Reynolds says she wishes she could take her handcuffs off, her daughter again implores: "No, please don’t, I don’t want you to get shooted."<br>
<br>
These pain-filled words "I Don't Want You To Get Shooted” will be the theme for our Second Annual Black Lives Matter event at Alice's Garden Urban Farm. Join us as we lift up community voices and concerns as we all struggle to find our way through the, too-often,
lack of justice and compassion in this nation for Black people.<br>

communications strategist for a discussion on the right messages to turn growing support for closing youth prisons into action. The presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, July 26 from 12 noon to 1 p.m. CDT. New research shows that a majority of people of
all backgrounds believe that youth prisons don’t work and are open to alternatives that are proven to work better – but as activists, we need to find the most effective way to convince them to take action and support juvenile justice reform in their communities
and states.</span></span></p>

August 19 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Milwaukee Public Library, 814 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee. Come learn about the ways that survivors of violence are criminalized for acts of survival and find out how you can take action against this violence.<br>
<br>
According to Survived & Punished, "For many survivors, the experiences of domestic violence, rape, and other forms of gender violence are bound up with systems of incarceration and police violence. According to the ACLU, nearly 60% of people in women’s prison
nationwide, and as many as 94% of some women’s prison populations, have a history of physical or sexual abuse before being incarcerated.<br>
<br>
Once incarcerated or detained, many women (including trans women) and trans & gender non-conforming people experience sexual violence from guards and others. Being controlled by police, prosecutors, judges, immigration enforcement, homeland security, detention
centers, and prisons is often integrated with the experience of domestic violence and sexual assault. This is especially true for Black, Native, and immigrant survivors."<br>

around the book, <em>The Third Reconstruction: How a Moral Movement is Overcoming the Division of Politics and Fear

<span style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>About the book</strong>:<br>
Over the summer of 2013, Rev. Dr. William Barber led more than 100,000 people in rallies across North Carolina to protest cuts to voting rights and the social safety net, implemented by the state’s conservative legislature. These protests came to be known as
Moral Mondays. Moral Mondays blossomed into the largest social movement the South has seen since the civil rights era and has since spread to other states, including Wisconsin.<br>
<br>
In <em>The Third Reconstruction</em>, Rev. Barber tells the story of how he helped lay the groundwork for the Moral Mondays movement and explores the unfulfilled promises of America’s multiethnic democracy. He draws on the lessons of history to offer a vision
of a new Reconstruction, one in which a diverse coalition of citizens—black and white, religious and secular, Northern and Southern—fight side-by-side for racial and economic justice for all Americans. The book is both a blueprint for activism and an inspiring
call to action from a highly effective grassroots organizer.<br>
<br>
<strong>About the book club discussion:</strong><br>
Please note that participants will need to order their own books and bring the book to each session. The first reading assignment is to read the Prologue and first THREE chapters to prepare for the first session on Sept. 7. Beverages and light snacks will be
provided. A one-time $15 donation (to be paid at the first session) is suggested to cover the cost of the meeting space and food for all three sessions.<br>
<br>
LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE! PLEASE BE SURE TO GET TICKETS TODAY!<br>
We hope that you will join the club. Get inspired to come together and take on the issues of racism that continue to haunt our city.</span></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif"><em>Hum If You Don't Know the Words
</em>is a perceptive and searing look at Apartheid-era South Africa, told through one unique family brought together by tragedy. Life under Apartheid has created a secure future for Robin Conrad, a ten-year-old white girl living with her parents in 1970s Johannesburg.
In the same nation but worlds apart, Beauty Mbali, a Xhosa woman in a rural village in the Bantu homeland of the Transkei, struggles to raise her children alone after her husband's death.<br>
<br>
Both lives have been built upon the division of race, and their meeting should never have occurred... until the Soweto Uprising, in which a protest by black students ignites racial conflict, alters the fault lines on which their society is built and shatters
their worlds when Robin's parents are left dead and Beauty's daughter goes missing.

<span style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Told through Beauty and Robin's alternating perspectives, the interwoven narratives create a rich and complex tapestry of the emotions and tensions at the heart
of Apartheid-era South Africa. Hum If You Don't Know the Words is a beautifully rendered look at loss, racism, and the creation of family. For more info: 414-446-8794 or email

<font face="arial, helvetica neue, helvetica, sans-serif">The SaintA Diversity Committee invites the public to view the documentary film MILWAUKEE 53206 on Tuesday, August 15 at 4:30 p.m. in the Franciscan Center at 3939 N. 88th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53222.
Through the voices of three 53206 residents, the film allows us to witness the human toll of mass incarceration, especially of African American men, on families and the community. With 62% of its adult men having spent time in prison, Milwaukee’s Zip code
53206 is a microcosm of the daily realities of those affected by mass incarceration in America. The film illuminates the story of people from across the United States who live with the daily effects of mass incarceration. More information about the film, including
its trailer, can be found at </font><a href="http://ridracism-mke.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bc3f38db2afccca1615f7d7ef&id=08fc448661&e=b541381f55" target="_blank" style="font-family:arial,"helvetica neue",helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:13px; word-wrap:break-word; color:#606060; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:underline">milwaukee53206.com</a><font face="arial, helvetica neue, helvetica, sans-serif">.
