Community Listening Session [Alumni Edition Feat: Diya Mark]

Listen to the latest episode as we get serious about a topic that is in the news and an issue that effects us all; Immigration. What is happening when people are being locked up in cages , violated and operated from their children trying to enter America. What is being done locally in Milwaukee and who can you call for more information or support? How real is what is being shared in social media about different families and individuals right here in our city? Activists , artists and educators are weighing in and we wanted to capture some of the conversation for our Community Listening Session during All Day MKE - An event focused on collaboration and uplifting public art and city wide youth projects. This year with our partners at Milwaukee Art Museum we once again unveiled their summer project and this year.....They created quite a stir of controversy with their bus mural design depicting ICE agents breaking up families arresting children and even had a "what to do if stopped by ICE" list on the side of a public transit bus. We will revisit that more soon as well!
Comment , share and please continue talking about these VERY important matters!
