Israel Zionist Government Genocide Funded By Billions Of Dollars Of U.S. Military Aid Is Called Sanctioned Mass Murder

All who voted to approve billions of dollars of U.S. military aid to the Israel Zionist government are complicit to commit mass murder and should be known as cold blooded murderers without a soul, especially those that stand by and do nothing to stop it.

By H. Nelson Goodson

April 29, 2024

U.S.A./Israel - In the U.S., if you knowingly provide any kind of payment or monetary aid including military weapons to anyone that results in a murder or mass murder, the heinous act is prosecuted as aiding and conspiracy to commit murder.

Then why aren't the majority of Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Congress including U.S. President Biden (D) who continue to provide billions of dollars of U.S. military aid to the Israel Zionist government charged with the genocide of thousands of Palestinians and children?

These are known cold blooded murderers and they are all complicit to mass murder/genocide today!

No one and government should be ever sanctioned to commit mass murder of unarmed civilians including children, it's an inhumane heinous act by those without a soul, especially those that stand by and do nothing to stop it nor condemn the murderous act. Eventually, judgement day will prevail one day against all those evil cold blooded mass murderers without a soul or conscious.

Why are they engaged in mass murder of unarmed Palestinian civilians and children in the GAZA?

The GAZA coast line has a rich gas reserve totalling billions of dollars, which Israel and the U.S. have vested interest not to share the natural gas energy resources with the Palestinians in the GAZA.

There are huge fields of oil and gas under the sea 22 miles off the coast of Gaza. It is worth an estimated $524 billion and belongs to Gaza and the Palestinians. (Quora dot com)

Trump is currently facing 91 criminal Indictments in multiple States.

VDLF is scheduled to initiate their annual May Day march and rally next Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. from the 1000 block of S. 5 Street and ending at the FISERV FORUM at the 400 block of W. Juneau Ave., where the Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention will take place from July 15-18, 2024.

Milwaukee local protest organizers and activist groups are reaching out nationally and inviting hundreds of thousands of Antifa protesters to Milwaukee in mid-July in order to stage peaceful protests during the 3-day Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention.

H. Nelson Goodson, a Civil Rights and Immigrant Rights Advocate, and a Southside Milwaukee resident says, "that any national political party is welcome in the City of Milwaukee, including Wisconsin when it has the best interests of the nation, but when a national political party engages in anti-immigrant prosecution, lies/spreads mistruths about people of color and especially promotes hate rhetoric propaganda to advance their own agenda by creating fear mongering and division in our diverse communities like what former U.S. President Donald J. Trump and his MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) cult and insurrectionist patriots (supremacists) are best known to do, they are definitely "Not Welcome" in Milwaukee."

The 3-day Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) National Convention is scheduled for July 15-18, 2024 at the Fiserv Forum (Baird Center) in Milwaukee.

Editor's note:

Intel from the Latino community at large indicates that many Milwaukee Latino activists and organizers are contemplating wearing Chihuahua masks as a unprecedented form to protest the anti-immigrant and hate rhetoric propaganda targeted at people of color by Trump and his MAGA cult.

Milwaukee Police Officer Marco A. López Reached Plea Agreement In Felony Fraud Case In Connection With The Death Of Keishon D. Thomas In 2022

López is scheduled for a plea/sentencing hearing on May 10.

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

April 22, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Last Tuesday, April 16, Marco A. López, 41, a Milwaukee Police Officer under full suspension has reached a plea agreement resolution with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office (MCDAO), according to Milwaukee County court records. A plea/sentencing hearing for López was scheduled for May 10th.

López is charged with one felony count for misconduct/office-fraud/record/statement (making false record entries) in connection with the in-custody death of Keishon D. Thomas, 20, at Milwaukee Police Department District Station 5 in 2022.

Police Officer López, if convicted is facing up to 3 years, 6 months in prison and could be fined up to $10,000, or both. Officer López has over 12 years of service with the department. 

According to the criminal complaint, Officer López was to check Keishon and other individuals (inmates) in custody at the District Station 5 every 15 minutes during his shift. Video surveillance footage from inside the station showed that López did not check on the inmates including Keishon at least 10 times who were in custody.

Officer López was found to have falsely logged 10 times in the cell block booking sheet that he in fact checked on the inmates that were locked up, when in fact video surveillance footage inside the police station showed he did not.

Another Milwaukee Police Officer Donald W. Krueger, 50, pleaded no contest in March 2024 and was convicted for one felony count of misconduct in office and fraud in connection with the February 2022 death of Thomas while in custody. Former Milwaukee Police Officer Krueger retired before the felony conviction.

Krueger's sentencing under a plea agreement with the MCDAO, he was fined $5,000 and will serve no prison time, according to court records.

According to the criminal complaint, Krueger neglected Keishon, who was confined at the Milwaukee Police District 5 Station. He neglected Keishon by failing to garner him medical attention, despite seeing Keishon dry heave multiple times, being informed Keishon had recently ingested multiple controlled substances, noting Keishon's profuse sweating, and stating he was going to call an ambulance, which Krueger never did. Keishon ultimately died in custody at the district station.

Milwaukee Police Plan To Shut Down S. Chávez Drive On Cinco de Mayo 2024 Weekend To Prevent Impromptu Mexican Flag Waving Cruising And Chaotic Crowds

Police tentative plan to shut down S. César E.  Chávez Drive during the Cinco de Mayo weekend celebrations to prevent gathering of chaotic crowds, impromptu Mexican flag waving, parading and cruising. 

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

April 20, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, April 19, 2024, the S. César E. Chávez Drive Bid 38 business owners and several Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) officers including Sergeant Guadalupe Ramirez Cervantes from the MPD District Station 2 met at the Cristo Rey Jesuit High School to discuss public safety measures during the impromptu Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the Southside of Milwaukee.

Sinai Mendoza-Zarate, the Executive Director of the S. César E. Chávez Drive Bid 38 says that the Bid 38 is working with police to make sure that this year's anticipated Cinco de Mayo impromptu flag waving, parading and cruising by the Chávez Bid 38 Corridor is safe for the community celebrating the historic event.

The tentative plan, police are planning to shut S. Chávez Drive from W. National Ave. to W. Greenfield Ave. after 5:00 p.m. during Saturday, May 4, 2024 and Sunday, May 5, 2024 to prevent a large gathering of vehicles with individuals engaged in impromptu flag waving, parading and cruising along the S. Chávez Drive business corridor. (YouTube video of police tentative plan at link: https://youtu.be/FOtKZzZnLQM)

Also, police will ask business owners with large parking lots on S. Chávez Drive to close them to prevent vehicles from parking.

Mexican food trucks will not be allowed on S. Chávez Drive after the street is shut down. The food trucks that usually park along S. Chávez Drive will need to move to side streets, according to police.

Victor Huyke, from El Conquistador Latino Newspaper and sponsor of the one-day Cinco de Mayo festival on Saturday, May 4 at the United Migrant Opportunity Services (UMOS) Corporate parking lot at the 2700 block of S. Chase Ave. told the attendees that on April 9, 2024, Milwaukee Police Captain Eric Pfeiffer alleged that the Cinco de Mayo festival at UMOS had a car show and that afterwards some violence occurred at S. Chávez Drive. Captain Peiffer wrote, "There were some concerns that stemmed from last year's event that we wish to address and avoid some of the violence that happened later that night on César Chávez. One of the things of concern was the car show on the lot at UMOS. As you know from past events, the car show acts as a catalyst for cruising problems after the festival is done. Even though these past violent events have happened off the UMOS grounds, there is no doubt that the vehicles at the car show were part of those problems later..."

Huyke told police and those at the Chávez Bid 38 meeting that last year, there was no car show at the UMOS Cinco de Mayo one-day festival and what happened at S. Chávez Dtive occurred on its own and police failed to neutralize the chaos ending with two shootings at W. Scott Street and S. 15 place and at the 1200 block of S. Chávez Drive in the Southside of Milwaukee.

This year, the Cinco de Mayo festival at UMOS will include a car show and contest, according to El Conquistador advertisement.

Huyke also stated, that in the last 50 years of doing the Cinco de Mayo festival by UMOS in the Southside, no problems were ever reported.

Police haven't released any information about how many citations were handed out and how many vehicle related infractions occurred in the Southside of Milwaukee last year during the Cinco de Mayo impromptu flag waving, parading and cruising event.

Last year, a 17-year-old male suspect shot an automatic handgun in the air, he was then shot by a Milwaukee police officer for failing to put down his weapon, arrested, charged and convicted. (Full article link: https://tinyurl.com/2vwkdywk)

The Chávez Bid 38 members say that they are working with police to make sure the Cinco de Mayo impromptu flag waving, parading and cruising next month doesn't turn into violence and chaos like last year and the tentative closure of S. Chávez Drive will provide public safety for those celebrating the Cinco de Mayo weekend.

The Chávez Bid 38 plans to work with Kevin Kuschel, the Executive Director of Clarke Square Neighborhood Initiative to have an organized Cinco de Mayo event on S. Chávez Drive in 2025.

Editor's note: Prior closures of S. Chávez Drive has only diverted the impromptu flag waving cruising to other Southside mainstream areas that include W. Lincoln Ave., S. 6 Street viaduct, S. 13, W. Historic Mitchell Street, W. Burnham and W. Pierce Streets. Also, police and the S. Chávez Drive Bid 38 and the Clarke Square Neighborhood Initiative haven't reached out to local Latino media to educate the community about the consequences of engaging in chaotic acts and reckless driving during the impromptu flag waving cruising in the Southside of Milwaukee. As Police Sgt. Ramirez Cervantes explained, that last year they had a lack of resources to handle the anticipated problems that come with unorganized parading and flag waving cruising. Sgt. Ramirez Cervantes says that this year, they received resources to manage any anticipated issue during the Cinco de Mayo impromptu flag waving parading.

The lack of Latinos in supervisor positions in the Milwaukee Police Department, for example having Hispanic police captains and Latino supervisors in the chain of command at MPD has become an issue of trying to reinvent the wheel to handle the same community issues dealing with reckless driving, chaotic crowd gatherings, public drinking (beer/alcohol) and shooting incidents in the community not associated with organized Mexican and Puerto Rican festivals in the Summer months.

Madison, Wisconsin - Deisy España, 21, has announced her candidacy to run as a Democrat for the Wisconsin State Assembly District 9. The Wisconsin Primary Election will take place on August 13, 2024 and the General Election will be held on November 5, 2024.

So far, no Republican candidate has officially announced their candidacy for the State Assembly District 9th, which has a majority Democrat voting base.

España in a press release says, "...as a member of Gen Z, a Latina, an organizer, and proud daughter of Mexican immigrants, I am excited to announce my candidacy for the 9th Assembly seat...Now with new maps, we have an opportunity to completely change the way the legislature looks and deliver the wins that our communities deserve. As the 9th District's representative I will fight for immigrant rights, to ensure we restore driver licenses for our undocumented community and continue to fight for in-state tuition and professional licenses for DACA recipients,"  said Deisy España. "I will push for the expansion of BadgerCare, the restoration of workers' rights, strong public schools, and other policies that will serve and advance working class families."

Facts: Wisconsin and Mexico have a trade agreement totalling more than $6.1B, which benefits Wisconsin with 92,500 jobs supported by trade with Mexico and 4,942 jobs supported by Mexican companies totalling 97,442 jobs. But today, the Wisconsin Republican/MAGA controlled legislature won't allow for Mexican nationals in the State to drive safe by allowing them to apply for driver licenses or permits.

Ald. Jóse G. Pérez, Re-elected Milwaukee Common Council President For A Second Term 2024-2028

Pérez was re-elected for a second term as the Milwaukee Common Council President.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

April 16, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Alderman from the 12th Aldermanic District Jóse G. Pérez, 55, was re-elected President of the Milwaukee Common Council for a second term. Ald. Pérez was first elected as alderman in 2012.

Ald. Pérez is the first Latino to serve as the President of the Milwaukee Common Council and re-elected to a second term in 2024.

Also, Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa from the 8th Aldermanic District was re-elected for a second term in office.

Both Ald. Pérez and Zamarripa show that they were elected to office by a majority of predominately Hispanic community in the Southside of Milwaukee, which has had a history of being stake holders in the City of Milwaukee who pay one of the highest tax generating revenues to the City in combined tax revenues.

Unfortunately, a previous press release with Common Council joint statement dated April 3, 2024 titled, "Diverse Common Council set to make history" failed to mention that Ald. Pérez and Ald. Zamarripa had been re-elected making history as well, nor did it mention the Latino community's existence in Milwaukee. On April 3, 2024, was the day in history in Milwaukee that City Hall failed to recognized that the Latino community actually existed and had re-elected two Latino alderpersons.

The press release mentioned of a diverse Common Council that included "eight African-American members and six women...Additionally, the 2024-2028 Council will have its most openly LGBTQ members ever serving (two)", but inadvertently several alderpersons including Ald. Mark Chambers Jr. who approved the press release failed to mention that Latino re-elected alderpersons were also making history.

To date, Ald. Chambers Jr. has not apologize publicly for failing to recognize the Latino community and its elected Latino alderpersons. (Full article and Chambers Jr. response when brought to his attention: https://tinyurl.com/3byh4b3w)

Manuel "Manny" Pérez Chirinos, Former Secretary Of The Wisconsin Department Of Workforce Development Changes Political Party Affiliation To Independent-Centrist-Moderate

Pérez Chirinos who was the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development in 2010 - 2011, and a well known Republican recently changed his political party affiliation to Independent-Centrist-Moderate, shortly after former U.S. President Trump allegedly took control of the Republican National Committee.

April 16, 2024

Maimi, Florida - On Tuesday, Manuel "Manny" Pérez Chirinos, 68, the former Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development confirmed to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that last month he changed his political party affiliation from Republican to Independent-Centrist-Moderate, which his personal Facebook page now indicates. His political affiliation changed shortly after two Trump MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters were elected to run the Republican National Convention (RNC), North Carolina Republican Party Chair Michael Whatley became the Chair of the RNC and Trump's daughter-in-law Laura Trump also became co-chair, who are both Trump loyalists and MAGA cult followers. (Pérez Chirinos Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/srcmannyperez)

Pérez Chirinos also confirmed to HNNUSA that he will not attend the Trump MAGA Cult (RNC 2024) Convention in Milwaukee this upcoming July 15th.

Apparently, Trump wants to cut both Social Security and Medicare, which is definitely not resonating well with the Conservative Republicans who will most likely not vote for Trump in November 2024. Trump's push to cut Social Security and Medicare will also keep a majority of independent, centric and moderate voters from voting for Trump. (Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden came out against Trump's agenda to cut Social Security and Medicare https://www.facebook.com/share/v/6FDmx3zs2kM615hN)

Pérez Chirinos in a letter to the Capitol Times dot com wrote in February 29, 2024, "The Republican base is sending a loud and clear message to the GOP establishment, namely, we are so angry at how you have managed the GOP that we will support an individual of the likes of Trump to curtail your hold over the GOP — despite Trump's obvious pitfalls and personality traits."

"Why is the Republican base angry at the GOP establishment? There are many causes, but here are a few: decreasing well-being of the middle class, legislating or attempting to dictate what a woman can do with her body regarding abortion, inability or rejection by the GOP to achieve comprehensive immigration reform and managed labor flows, lack of meaningful results achieved by USAID funding internationally, lack of meaningful ethnic diversity and leadership across the entire GOP organization, politicians who consistently lie and who are committed only to serve the interest of the establishment regardless of the interests of the Republican base, citizens or the nation to name a few."

Former Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett Was Not Authorized To Close 97% Of Election Polling Places In 2020, Act 124 Signed Into Law By Governor Tony Evers (D) Prevents Such Future Closures In Wisconsin

Act 124 (AB 298/SB 366) enacted on March 21, 2024 prohibits the future closure of any election polling places at any municipality without the majority approval of the local governing members-elect body and the local municipal clerk.

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

April 9, 2024

Madison, Wisconsin - Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed into law Act 124 and enacted on March 21, 2024, which prohibts any sole local elected official from deciding to close or move election polling places in a municipality unless it has a majority approval of the members-elect of the municipality and the municipal clerk. (https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2023/related/acts/124)

AB 298/SB 366 was sponsored by Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) after she and other candidates for public office, Wisconsin State Senator Lena Taylor (D-Milw) who was a candidate for Milwaukee Mayor, and Andrea A. Rodriguez-Strock who was running for Milwaukee County Supervisor experienced unprecedented closure of 97% of the City of Milwaukee election polling places in 2020 under the decision of former Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett who was not legally authorized to do so by State law regardless of any emergency including the COVID-19 pandemic. Only 5 election polling places were left open in the City of Milwaukee preventing thousands of eligible voting residents from getting to the polls and casting their vote for local and Milwaukee County candidates. 

According to Rep. Ortiz-Velez, Act 124 makes sure that not one single person would be able to close a substantial amount of polling location in an emergency declaration situation. It requires requiring approval by the governing body at the local level. It does not remove any of the current powers of the clerks to close individual polling locations under our current statutes. It creates a process that invites public input and requires someone to redirect people physically to new polling location, it requires notice of changing the polling places.

According to a memo from Kathie Bender-Olson, the Principle Attorney, Wisconsin Legislative Council in an email to Wisconsin State Senator Mark Spreitzer (D) in May 2023, she wrote"...State law does not authorize or address closing or consolidating polling places by any other entity or in any other situation. No explicit authority exists for the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), the Governor, the Department of Health Services (DHS), or a local health officer to consolidate and relocate a polling place, even during a state of emergency. State law does not authorize or address closing or consolidating polling places by any other entity or in any other situation. No explicit authority exists for the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), the Governor, the Department of Health Services (DHS), or a local health officer to consolidate and relocate a polling place, even during a state of emergency..." which included Milwaukee Mayor Barrett in 2020.

Also, Representative Ortiz-Velez sponsored AB 853/SB 822, which Governor Evers signed Act 126 into law and enacted on March 21, 2024 that would make it a State felony for anyone attempting to solicit votes through fraud from election officials (example: former U.S. President Donald J. Trump pressuring Georgia's Republican secretary of state to "find" enough votes to overturn Joe Biden's win in the state's Presidential election in 2020), adds Whistleblower protection for municipal clerks, county clerks, and election officials who witness and report election fraud or irregularities, battery against election officials and providing a penalty.

33-year-old Maxwell S. Anderson Being Held At Milwaukee County Jail As "Person Of Interest" In Alleged Connection With Severed Leg Found At Warnimont Park In Cudahy

Anderson is being held at the Milwaukee County jail pending possible criminal charges after he was taken into questioning as a person of interest by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office regarding a severed leg found in/near the water at Warnimont Park in Cudahy, Wisconsin.

April 8, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - A "Person of Interest" was taken into custody for questioning on April 4, 2024 at the 3100 block of S. 39 Street in alleged connection with a severed leg found in/near the water on April 2, 2024 at Warnimont Park in Cudahy, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.

Law enforcement sources say that Maxwell S. Anderson, 33, remains booked at the Milwaukee County jail, but his registration as a current inmate has not been posted in the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office inmate search website. 

Anderson has not been officially charged with any criminal charges connected to the unidentified severed leg found at Warnimont Park.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) and the Milwaukee Police Department are also investigating another case where a unidentified body part was found on April 5, 2024 near N. 31 St. and W. Walnut St. by the Galena Playground just one block away where a vehicle was torched belonging to a reported missing woman identified as Sade Carleena Robinson, 19, according to police.

On April 6, police and the MCSO was back in the area of N. 31 Street and W. Lisbon Ave. where another body part was located.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office hasn't confirmed, if the two body parts, a severed leg located in Cudahy and a second unidentified body part found near the Galena Playground in the Northside are actually connected to one body or multiple bodies. Police nor the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office have disclosed the ethnicity of the body parts found by authorities.

Update: On Tuesday,  April 9, 2024, Anderson appeared before a Milwaukee County court and the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office (MCDAO) requested an additional 72 hour hold for Anderson to wait for several blood stains results from the Wisconsin Crime lab recovered from a stairwell and comforter in Anderson's home. The motion by the MCDAO was granted.

Two Hispanic Alderpersons Were Not Included In Stats In Joint Statement By Diverse Milwaukee Common Council Members

A Milwaukee Common Council joint statement was released after the April 2, 2024 Spring General Election that failed to mention that two Hispanic Alderpersons were re-elected making history, which only mentioned more Black Alderpersons will join the Council, 6 women as Council members and two openly gay Alderpersons.

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

April 6, 2024

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On April 3, a Milwaukee Common Council joint statement was released that failed to include two current Hispanic Alderpersons, which were not worth mentioning in the stats by the joint Council members. Alderman Jóse G. Pérez, the Milwaukee Common Council President 2020-2024 and Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa were not included in the stats in the joint statement. However, Ald. Pérez was included in the joint statement and not Ald. Zamarripa.

Most likely, with 8 Black Alderpersons to he sworn on April 16, Ald. Pérez might not be re-elected as Common Council President. We will have to wait and see, if Pérez gets re-elected as President of the Common Council.

The joint statement mentioned that the Milwaukee Common Council will have 8 Black Alderpersons, 6 Council women members and 2 openly gay Council members, but no mention of 2 Hispanic Alderpersons that were re-elected.

Hopefully, the 15 Milwaukee Common Council members with the majority of 8 Black Alderpersons and having re-elected Cavalier Johnson, who is also Black as Mayor, the Northside of Milwaukee where the predominately Black population resides and the Southside of Milwaukee where the predominately Hispanic community resides will finally see more development (less gentrification causing Hispanic flight) and better job opportunities, cleaner streets and sidewalks, and street pot holds filled quickly as White privilege majority Aldermanic districts experience with better City services.

In 2014, Hispanics in the state of Wisconsin became a majority surpassing the Afro-American population.

Here's the press release email Milwaukee Common Council joint statement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 3, 2024 

Diverse Common Council set to make history

Statement from members of the Common Council: Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs, Alderman Mark Chambers, Jr., Alderwoman Andrea M. Pratt, Alderman Jonathan Brostoff, Alderman Robert J. Bauman, Alderwoman Larresa Taylor, Alderman Mark A. Borkowski, Alderman José G. Pérez, Alderman Scott Spiker, and Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic

Yesterday's Spring General Election proved to be historic for the Common Council. Once the three new members are sworn in on April 16, the Council will include eight African-American members and six women, both the most in the body's history.

This is significant in Milwaukee, which is a majority-minority city. It is wonderful to see that over time, the city and county leaders who represent the people continue to increasingly reflect the populations they serve.

Additionally, the 2024-2028 Council will have its most openly LGBTQ members ever serving (two).

Representation in major institutions, including government, is crucial. When a government is more representative of its people, it can more efficiently work to create inclusive policies and elevate a diverse set of role models for future generations.

Our city has made major strides in the areas of diversity and inclusion in recent years, and we thank all of our colleagues past, present and future for their work on those fronts. We are incredibly encouraged by the work we can continue to do moving forward as a body that will be historic in nature on several fronts.


In addition, posted in social media (Facebook):


City Hall comes out like Hispanics don't exist in the City of Milwaukee! We do reside in Milwaukee and pay taxes too, we also pay their salaries including their pensions!


WI: On April 3, 2024, was the day Milwaukee City Hall forgot to recognize and include 2 Hispanic re-elected Alderpersons in the stats of a joint statement by a diverse Milwaukee Common Council.


They recognized a majority of Black Alderpersons elected, 6 women as Council members and 2 openly gay Alderpersons, but no mention of any Latino re-elected Alderpersons...shame on City Hall for not recognizing that Hispanics have been vibrant stakeholders In the City of Milwaukee for decades and the 2 Latino voting age majority Aldermanic districts re-elected Alderman Jóse G. Pérez in the 12th Aldermanic District and Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa in the 8th Aldermanic District in the Southside of Milwaukee.


The predominately Hispanic community in the Southside of Milwaukee is one of the largest tax generating revenue contributors to the City of Milwaukee and City Hall just failed to mention and recognize that the Latino community had 2 Hispanic Alderpersons representing them. Smh


The mishap in the statement of the diverse joint Milwaukee Common Council dated April 3, 2024,  seems disregards that the Latino community in Milwaukee including throughout the state surpassed the Afro-American population in 2014 and do contribute millions of combined taxes to the State of Wisconsin  and the City of Milwaukee.


City Hall might want to exclude and recognize our Latino community and its tax contributions, its success in the 1970’s in bringing down the barriers of discrimination in higher education and in the hiring of Hispanics in the Milwaukee Police Department and Milwaukee Fire Department and at City Hall.


Just to let City Hall know, "¡Aquí Estamos y No Nos Vamos!"

On April 7, 2024, Ald. Mark Chambers Jr. responded to HNNUSA Article.

I’m fully aware of the press release because the request for additional signers was made available to ALL 15 Council Members. 

President Perez himself is a signer on the release because he understands the importance of the history that was made. Those who were not on the statement as a signer simply missed the deadline. 

The entire Council has fully embraced our Latino counterparts and the community in its entirety.

SHAME ON YOU for your FAILED attempt of sowing 
seeds of DIVISION amongst the Black and Brown community.

The intent of the release and your interpretation of it are DRASTICALLY different and we just may have to agree to disagree.

We will continue to work collectively as a Council to strengthen Milwaukee’s future.

Hope to see you on April 16th as we usher in a new era within the City Of Milwaukee.

Respectfully,

Ald. Mark Chambers Jr

In response:

Attn: Ald.Chambers,

So, you mentioned the press release was a diverse effort by some Milwaukee Common Council, but it seems you still failed to take some responsibility for not mentioning any Latino Alderpersons that were re-elected.

Shame on you and those that left our Latino Alderpersons from being mentioned. Unfortunately, you seemed to still not accept that Latinos/Hispanic Alderpersons were not included and you seemed to be okay with it.

Your response seems to be more about accepting exclusion, then inclusion and until you accept that our Latino Alderpersons were excluded from being counted, you don't seemed to abide by diversity.
