April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time to stand with survivors, raise awareness, and commit to ending sexual violence in our communities. We have a responsibility to believe survivors, to support them, and to work toward a future where everyone feels safe. However, meaningful change takes all of us. If you or someone you know is experiencing sexual violence, please contact emergency help. You can also contact @MkeCoDHHS as part of our No Wrong Door model of care, where DHHS staff can help point you in the right direction to get the help you need. Let’s keep working together to support our community and create a safer, stronger, and healthier Milwaukee County for all.

Happy Easter, Milwaukee County! 🐰

We know older adults and seniors need access to hot meals and nutritious foods like everyone else. That’s why Milwaukee County Aging Services coordinates the Dine-Out Program that promotes independent living for older adults through offering affordable meals at local restaurants. Our program has become very popular, attracting hundreds of new senior diners each year. Today, we welcomed a new Dine-Out location to our network: An Ox Café, a beloved restaurant on Milwaukee’s northwest side that specializes in Lao and Thai cuisines. Thank you to the team at An Ox Café for opening their doors for local seniors to enjoy an affordable meal, socialize with their neighbors, and maintain their independence. I’m always proud to support local businesses, who in turn support our residents and our community.

In Milwaukee County, we know that the climate crisis is a real, pressing threat to our environment, our economy, our health, and our quality of life. Unfortunately, the Trump administration has rolled back numerous climate programs, policies, and investments that could have devastating consequences on every Wisconsinite. That’s why today at the Urban Ecology Center, I signed legislation with Chairwoman Marcelia Nicholson-Bovell to uphold Milwaukee County’s commitment to promote clean energy and combat climate change in Wisconsin. At a time when federal leadership is stepping back, Milwaukee County is stepping forward. We are standing with science and facts, and we are committed to taking action toward eliminating greenhouse gases. Looking ahead, my administration will continue working to promote environmental sustainability, mitigate the climate crisis, and build a bright, healthy future for every person in Milwaukee County.

April is National Fair Housing Month, a time to reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every resident of Milwaukee County has access to safe, quality, and affordable housing. I recognize that rising housing costs are on the minds of Milwaukeeans every day, but my administration is taking steps to address this crisis. Since I took office, we have committed nearly $50 million toward the development of affordable housing, particularly in our suburban municipalities—because working families need affordable housing everywhere. Looking ahead, I'm committed to expanding fair access to safe, quality, and affordable housing in every corner of our community. Let’s keep working together to build a healthier future—one where fair and affordable housing is a reality in neighborhoods across Milwaukee County.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, a time to honor the courage, resilience, and contributions of transgender people in our communities, and to affirm the simple truth that everyone deserves to live with dignity, safety, and opportunity. I believe visibility matters. Transgender people are part of our everyday community. But too often, transgender individuals face discrimination, violence, and fear for simply being who they are. That’s why I will always stand with our transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ neighbors as we continue the march for justice, equity, and belonging for all. Today and every day, we honor the strength, courage, and humanity of transgender and nonbinary individuals and reaffirm that they are visible, celebrated, and valued. 🏳️‍⚧️

Today, March 31, Milwaukee County recognizes Worker Justice Day, affirming the right to fair treatment, safe conditions, and equitable opportunities for every worker. This holiday is a time to reflect on the enduring impact of the Labor Movement and the Farmworkers’ Movement that reshaped workplaces, expanded opportunities, and advanced dignity, fairness, and respect for workers across our nation. Worker Justice Day is both a moment of recognition and a call to action. It reminds us that the pursuit of equity in the workplace is ongoing and that each of us plays a role in creating environments where all individuals are respected, protected, and empowered. As Milwaukee County recognizes this day, we reaffirm our commitment to upholding the dignity, safety, and rights of all and continuing the work of building a more just, inclusive, and prosperous community.

Here in Milwaukee County, March 31 will always stand as a powerful reminder of the movement for worker dignity, fairness, and justice that has shaped our nation. This observance will honor the workers and laborers whose dedication supports our economy, our neighborhoods, and our way of life.
