Michelle Obama at virtual DNC: Vote 'like our lives depend on it'

Michelle Obama called Joe Biden a “profoundly decent man” who will “tell the truth and trust science" in her Monday night, August 17, 2020, convention speech, seeking to draw a sharp contrast between President Donald Trump and her husband’s two-term vice president.

Despite the pandemic closing up restaurants, some kids are still exercising their entrepreneurial skills over the summer tradition by running their own lemonade stand. This stand is run by Sakajha Smiley and her 4 year-old daughter, Royah. The mother and daughter team sold lemonade and snacks out of this stand they built together, located in front of the Lisbon Terrace Apartments, near 27th and Lisbon. To observe safety guidelines they offered curb-side service, and utilized face masks and gloves to serve.

Washington football team hires first Black president in NFL history For the first time in league history, an NFL team has a Black president. On Monday, Auguts 17, 2020, the Washington football organization welcomed Jason Wright, a 38-year-old former NFL running back, to a role "responsible for leading the organization's business divisions, including operations, finance, sales, and marketing," according to a new release from the franchise. Wright spent seven years -from 2004 to 2011 -- in the backfield for four teams: the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals. Following his retirement as a player, the former Northwestern Wildcat went on to earn his MBA from the University of Chicago. "If I could custom design a leader for this important time in our history, it would be Jason," said Washington team owner Daniel Synder. "His experience as a former player, coupled with his busi-

Jason Wright ness acumen, gives him a perspective that is unrivaled in the league." Last month the Washington football franchise announced the retirement of the Redskins team name, a decision that followed what the organization called a "thorough review" that came "in light of events in the country and feedback from

our community." In May, the killing of George Floyd -- an unarmed Black man -set off a national response, resulting in coast-to-coast protests and a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Three months later, the football team from Washington is without its oft-criticized, racially insensitive moniker, and with a Black president for the first time ever. "The transformation of the Washington Football Team is happening across all aspects of the organization -from football to operations to branding to culture -- and will make us a truly modern and aspirational franchise," Wright said of his appointment. At 38, Wright is the youngest team president in NFL history, and only the fourth former player to assume the role. A year ago, Washington finished 3-13, with an 0-6 record in the NFC East, and missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.

We are WINCONSIN! values that will forever remain in the words, “we the people”, is to elect real leadership – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

We learned our lesson in 2016, my friends. So I challenge all of us this November to turn our proud Wisconsin into a solid blue WINCONSIN! Reflecting back to November of 2016 is painful for all of us. What we’ve endured for over three and a half years since – stuffing children in cages, glorifying white supremacists, stripping away healthcare coverage, gutting the Post Office, abandoning protections for young people trying to pay back their way-too-high student loans, ripping up environmental regulations to protect our planet, “fake news”, snatching hard-earned money out of workers’ pockets to hand billionaires bigger tax breaks on a silver platter, attacking peaceful protestors with our own National Guard, denying science in the middle of a worldwide pandemic… the emotional toll is truly indescribable. 4:30AM each day pushes me for all that America can be. The only way to right the But it’s this toll, this urgent to fight harder and rise higher than ever before in my life ship, begin to heal our naneed, that wakes me up at – for you, for Wisconsin, and tion, and restore our shared

I have been blessed to know Joe Biden, and I can honestly tell you he cares. He puts people first, not profits. His values are unwavering, and when you listen to him tell of how he grew up and his earlier years, you hear those values come through in his stories. Joe has not had it easy, just like most of us have worked through tough times. He is one of the most empathetic, perceptive, and responsive people I’ve ever met. We need Joe Biden to be our next President and put our nation back on the pathway to progress now more than ever. As the first Black woman to represent Wisconsin in Congress, I am elated that we have the opportunity to make history once again by electing the first Black woman to be our next Vice President, Kamala Harris. I know Kamala Harris – she’s a fighter who we can trust to

stand up for the backbone of our nation – each and every one of us. She knows what’s at stake and is not afraid to take on powerful interests – Kamala puts people first. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris leading us on the path to restoring our democracy and unifying our nation, we must all do our part and make our voices heard this November. The path to victory runs straight through Wisconsin, and while this year’s virtual Democratic National Convention is taking “place” in our beloved Milwaukee, we need every American, from sea to shining sea, to get engaged and participate in our democratic process. Together, we are WINCONSIN!

tian Nutritionists (RDN) and trained WIC breastfeeding peer counselors plays a crucial role in helping mothers navigate the winding roads on their journey.

August has been designated as Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The national breastfeeding campaign, “WIC Breastfeeding Support: Learn Together, Grow Together" centers around a mother’s journey while considering and initiating providing breastmilk for her baby. The goal along the journey is to ensure mothers are given support, encouragement and resources. Breastmilk is nature’s perfect food for giving all infants a healthy start in life. WIC acknowledges that not all

breastfeeding journeys will be smooth, and some mothers will have challenges along the way. The WIC breastfeeding support team which consists of Registered Dieti-

Milwaukee Health Services, Inc. (MHSI) provides WIC services for families at their MLK Heritage Health Center location. One of the cornerstone programs to highlight this month involved the role of their WIC breastfeeding peer counselor, Johnna Tidwell. Success along the journey comes in many ways but most recently by way of written feedback from a mother who initially had concerns about exclu-

Five BIG Reasons Why You Should Fill Out Your Census Form.

Help Your Community Thrive. Does your neighborhood have a lot of traffic congestion, elderly people living alone or over crowded schools? Census numbers can help your community work out public improvement strategies.

Non-profit organizations use census numbers to estimate the number of potential volunteers in communities across the nation.

Help Wanted

Lady Adienne's Beauty & Barber Salon is Now Hiring Stylists and Barbers. Build your clientele in a relaxed setting. Chair Rental is $150.00 a week. Salon is conveniently located in the Rear of the Packard Avenue Mall in Cudahy, 5656 S. Packard Avenue, Suite 11. CALL: 414-635-4405.

The questions asked represent the best balance between your community’s needs and our commitment to reduce the time and effort it takes you to fill out the form.

There Is Still Time To Fill Out The 2020 Census. This Is Why It's So Important!

Get Help in Times of Need. Many 911 emergency systems are based on maps developed for the last census. Census information helps health providers predict the spread of disease through communities with children or elderly people. When floods, tornadoes or earthquakes hit, the census tells rescuers how many people will need their help.

When Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992, census information aided the rescue effort by providing estimates of the number of people in each block.

Make Government Work for You. It’s a good way to tell our leaders who we are and what we need. The numbers are used to help determine the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars in federal and state funds. We’re talking hospitals, highways, stadiums and school lunch programs.

Using census numbers to support their request for a new community center, senior citizens in one New England community successfully argued their case before county commissioners.

Reduce Risk for American Business. Because census numbers help industry reduce financial risk and locate potential markets, businesses are able to produce the products you want.

“All the Basic Facts You Need to Know to Start a New Business,” a publication of the Massachusetts Department of Commerce, shows small businesses how to use census numbers to determine the marketability of new products.

Help Yourself and Your Family. Individual records are held confidential for 72 years, but you can request a certificate from past censuses that can be used as proof to establish your age, residence or relationship, information that could help you qualify for a pension, establish citizenship or obtain an inheritance. In 2072, your great-grandchildren may want to use census information to research family history. Right now, your children may be using census information to do their homework.

Because we’ve had a census every 10 years since 1790, we know how far America has come.
