News & Notes

On January 22, the members of the Milwaukee Common Council released this statement about the city's Know Your Rights website.

Last week, Community Advocates staff came together at the Baird Center for an all-staff event centered on reflection, gratitude, and care. The gathering served as a meaningful pause, reminding us that tending to our own well-being is not separate from our mission, but essential to it.
