New Report on Helping Black Children Thrive in Wisconsin

by | October 28, 2014

Home 9 Early Care and Education 9 New Report on Helping Black Children Thrive in Wisconsin ( Page 12 )

A new publication, Being Black is Not a Risk Factor, has been published by the Milwaukee Black Child Development Institute (BCDI).

Here is a summary from BCDI’s press release:
“Similar to the national report, the goal of the Wisconsin report is to provide data-rich information on how our children are doing, and to address the needs of state policymakers, principals, teachers, parents and others by highlighting successful programs and policies; identifying cutting-edge research about Black children’s strengths; and developing recommendations for a future research and policy agenda.”
I was pleased to provide one of the essays in the reports, focusing on the positive efforts of YoungStar and Milwaukee Succeeds.

Proposed Tax Cut Privileges Wealthiest 1%, Leaves Struggling Families Behind

Proposed Tax Cut Privileges Wealthiest 1%, Leaves Struggling Families Behind

Wisconsin can be a place where we all—regardless of race or place—have what we need to make ends meet. However, last week the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee voted for a tax cut that would aid in gutting supports for families. Letting Wisconsin’s wealthiest off the hook from paying what they owe means many struggling families are left behind, particularly children and families of color and those furthest from opportunity. We are calling on Governor Evers to stand up for everyday families and veto this tax cut for the wealthy few.
