Private Control Threatens Milwaukee's Drinking Water
On June 15, 2009, Campaign Against Violence / WI League of Young Voters and many other organizations protested against water privatization of Milwaukee's water system. Milwaukee officials are considering a risky and expensive way to balance the city's budget: They want to lease your drinking water system. in this scenario, a corporation would pay the city an upfront fee for the right to control your water for nearly a century. Despite the city's intentions, the proposal is no silver bullet for budgetary shortfalls, and it could hurt your pocketbook and your water service. http://www.wisn.com/news/19761798/detail.html Join Making Milwaukee Green Coalition Today!

Homicides Down: Non-Violent Lifestyles Preferred
Milwaukee, WI - Homicides decreased from 105 in 2007 to 71 in 2008. Of course, no homicides would be the perfect
picture as opposed to the lowest in 23 years; I think it is definitely an
improvement well worth mentioning. What
were some of the contributing factors to these decreasing numbers? As a member
of Campaign Against Violence (CAV) I want to take it a step further and begin
to critically look at the contributing factors so that we can maintain a definite
decline in total homicides for 2009. Read More!
