Unite 4 Democracy presents 'Pack the Polls Car Parade'
On Saturday, October 24, 2020, Unite 4 Democracy hosted "Pack the Polls," a non-partisan event held in more than 20 communities across Wisconsin. The Milwaukee locations included Midtown Mall, 5700 Capitol Dr.; Washington Park, Corner of Lisbon Ave. and Lloyd St.; and Clinton Rose Senior Center, 3045 N. Dr. MLK, Jr. Dr. Volunteers, community organizations, like Souls to the Polls (pictured) and organizers took to the streets in their cars (the most "COVIDPhoto by Yvonne Kemp 19-safe" way) to promote early voting. Early voting reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission by spreading out the traffic at the polls and reducing concentration on election day. The car parade was led by the Building Unity Votemobile which made stops at early voting sites and parks. At each stop there were brief speeches from some of Milwaukee's pro-democracy champions; at the Midtown Mall stop, State Senator Lena Taylor (third from right) spoke about exercising your voting rights. There was also a grocery giveaway, free food, and music.

We resisted, now we must rise! By Congresswoman Gwen Moore With the election days away, I want to take a few minutes to refresh our memories on the utterly devastating and gut-wrenching journey President Donald J. Trump has taken the American people down for the last four years. Trump’s racist agenda was front and center before he ever became President when he began trafficking his nonsense birther conspiracy theory, called for the death penalty of wrongly convicted young Black men, known as the “Central Park Five,” and was sued for housing discrimination at his apartment buildings in the 1970’s. On the campaign trail, outspoken white supremacist David Duke endorsed Trump multiple times. He continues to pride himself on using hate and division as a campaign strategy. In the spring of 2017, not only did Trump encourage a crowd to assault protesters and journalists, his own taunts targeted a Black woman who claimed his supporters shouted racist and sexist slurs at her. Trump, of course, took zero responsibility.
Congresswoman Gwen Moore What’s more despicable is when he argued that the Nazis rallying in Charlottesville were “very fine people,” even after Heather Heyer, an innocent counter-protester, was violently killed. To this day, he will not condemn white supremacy. In January of 2018, Trump said in an outburst that several African, Central
An NCON Communications Publication
American, and Caribbean countries were “sh*tholes.” His entire campaign and presidency have been defined by an open embrace of white nationalism. He surrounds himself with leaders of the white nationalist movement, like Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Stephen Miller. He fueled divisiveness and hate. Then, he broke his
promises to working people. Trump campaigned on the pledge that he would represent hard-working families, but the first thing he did once elected was to give billionaires and millionaires a major tax cut on the backs of the same hard-working men and women he promised to protect. He launched an attack on Wisconsin’s working families with his reckless tariffs that forced Harley Davidson to ship production overseas, and his irrational trade war unfairly punished our dairy farmers and cheese producers. Making America “great again” doesn’t start with creating nightmares for our workers, businesses, and families. His bromance with dictators made our country an international joke. He cozied up to Vladimir Putin, Mohammad bin Salman, and we cannot forget his love letters with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, all while he turned his back on our key allies. If this all wasn’t horrible enough, Trump and his administration ripped children from their parent’s arms and locked them up in cages. Hundreds of these children still have not been reunited
with their parents. Trump allowed the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to expire, is dead-set on repealing our healthcare even during a pandemic by dismantling the Affordable Care Act through the U.S. Supreme Court, pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, and appointed grossly unfit Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary. Let’s not forget he appointed Brett Kavanaugh, a man accused of sexual abuse to the Supreme Court. And he sabotaged the United States Postal Service (USPS) with another horrible appointment, at the worst time, when millions are relying on the USPS to vote. There are too many tragedies to list. But throughout this entire nightmare, we stood together and fought back. We resisted. And now, we must rise up together and make our voices heard louder than ever before in our nation’s history. We must rise up and VOTE!

Someone had found her wallet on the train and mailed it to the address on her driver’s license.

will shown by this stranger. This past December, I was able to reciprocate that kindness. In Nashville, someone lost their wallet at the hotel and I was in possession of it. She was visiting Nashville as I was and I could only imagine her desperation. The next day, I waited in the lobby determined to stay there until I recognized the woman from her driver’s license photo. Fortunately, she returned retracing her steps. When I handed her the wallet, I said to her: “I hope this puts a smile on your face” and I shared the story of my daughter. That moment was heartwarming and brought tears to both of our eyes and we gave each other a hug. Sharing a smile, giving and sharing kindness and goodwill are all gifts to be shared and is something we all can do. I hope this series has inspired you to smile and be open to sharing kindness and spreading goodwill to others. You will be surprised by the difference you will make in someone’s life!

I shared at the beginning of this series that in February of this year, I was asked to appear in a commercial spot on WVTV Channel 18/My 24 as a marketing promo for the Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper. A friend texted me by the time I arrived at the studio with a comforting word of encouragement. His word of encouragement came in one word: “smile.” That text indeed put a smile on my face and has been the inspiration for this month’s series. In celebration of World Smile Day observed the first Friday in October, this month I have tied smiling to acts of kindness and spreading goodwill.

Eric S. Quivers, MD FAAP, FACC the burden on the health care delivery system such as emergency rooms, clinics and hospitals can be reduced. These very same health care providers have been on the frontline of treating patients with COVID-19 infections.
We are now surging in Wisconsin with COVID-19 infections. In certain parts of the state, the number of hospital beds available are few due to number of COVID-19 patients occupying the beds. The health care system is in great risk of being overwhelmed. The flu virus has a preventive treatment, the flu vaccine. This would go a long way towards protecting those who are putting their lives on the line for us, the frontline health care workers. If you are not sick with the flu, you are less likely to go to a clinic, emergency room or urgent care office where you can be exposed to someone with a COVID-19 infection. The infections share common symptoms such
as fever, cough, shortness of breath, tiredness, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, headache and rarely vomiting and diarrhea. Those with COVID-19 may have these symptoms, as well. Other symptoms that are more unique to a COVID-19 infection include a new loss of sense of smell or taste. More concerning symptoms include new onset confusion, sleepiness, constant pressure in the chest and bluish lips. If you have any of these symptoms seek medical advice immediately. Let us all do our part in protecting each other during these very uncertain times. The flu vaccine helps prevents the flu infection and practicing social distancing, good hand washing and wearing masks helps to stop the spread of both the coronavirus and the flu virus.
Seven things you can do to prevent breast cancer Breast cancer is the most common cancer among African American women. It is also the second leading cause of cancer deaths among African American women. Unfortunately, in recent years you have heard about friends and family who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The breast cancer incidence in Black women is lower than in white women. However, for women younger than 45, the incidence rate is higher among Black women than white women. It is very important that we practice good breast health. Self-breast exam When you begin menstru-

This ensures that your breasts are normal and the same around this time every month. The best places to check your breasts are in the shower or lying down on your bed or the floor.

Examination. This is a thorough examination of the entire breast and chest areas, including the areas above and below the collarbone and under each arm. The health care professional can teach you the correct techniques for performing your own self-breast examination. This is another reason why it is so absolutely necessary for you to have your exam ANNUALLY. Screening mammography It is recommended that you have a baseline mammogram around 35 years old. Not all physicians agree with that but some physicians err on the side of caution. Most insurance companies will completely cover a baseline mammogram. If you have a family history of breast cancer you may need to have your first mammogram between 30 and 35 years old. Otherwise, you need to have your mammogram annually starting at 40 years old. A mammogram is one moment of discomfort that could save your life. Ways to prevent cancer Breast health is important but there are some things that we can do to help prevent cancer. Here are 7 tips that will hopefully help you stay cancer-free. 1. Just say “no” to tobacco Everyone already knows that smoking can cause lung cancer. But did you know that secondhand smoke causes thousands of deaths due to lung cancer every year? 2. Let’s move! Former First Lady Michelle Obama started this (Continued on pg. 17)

OFFICE OF THE MILWAUKEE COUNTY ELECTION COMMISSION TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE Notice is hereby given of a general election to be held in the City of Milwaukee, on November 3, 2020, at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office and under the appropriate party or other designation, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, in the sample ballot below. INFORMATION TO VOTERS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identification and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter does not have acceptable photo identification, the voter may obtain a free photo ID for voting from the Division of Motor Vehicles. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence if the voter provides proof of residence. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth or machine and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice. Voting for President and Vice President A vote for candidates for President and Vice President is a vote for the presidential electors of those candidates. A write-in vote for President and Vice President must designate the name of a presidential candidate. A write-in vote for a candidate for President only will be counted. A write-in vote for a candidate for Vice President only will not be counted. Where Optical Scan Voting is Used The voter shall fill in the oval next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote and fill in the oval next to the write-in line. When voting for President and Vice President, the voter shall fill in the oval next to the set of candidates (ticket) for president and vice president for whom he or she intends to vote. To vote for a Presidential ticket that does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the names of persons of his or her choice in the spaces provided and fill in the oval next to the write-in lines. On referendum questions, the voter shall fill in the oval next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall fill in the oval next to “no” if opposed to the question. When using an electronic ballot marking device (“Automark” or “Express Vote”) to mark an optical scan ballot, the voter shall touch the screen at the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. When voting for President and Vice President, the voter shall touch the screen at the set of candidates (ticket) for president and vice president for whom he or she intends to vote. To vote for a Presidential ticket that does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the names of persons of his or her choice in the spaces provided. On referendum questions, the voter shall touch the screen at “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall touch the screen at “no” if opposed to the question. Spoiled Ballots If a voter spoils an optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election official who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After Voting the Ballot After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve so the marks do not show. The voter shall then insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system is used, the voter shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. The voter shall leave the polling place promptly. A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing, or understanding English, or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter.

Get your shots Get immunized to prevent certain types of cancer. Hepatitis B has been linked to liver cancer. Make certain you keep your immunizations up-to-date. 5. Avoid risky behaviors Practice safe sex by limiting your number of partners and using condoms. Some of the sexually transmitted infections can lead to a higher risk of different types of cancer. Do not share needles because of the high incidence of Hepatitis B, C, and
HIV, which all can lead to increase risk of liver cancer. If you have a drug problem seek help to stop. 6. Visit the doctor regularly Regular doctor visits will allow you to receive regular screening for various types of cancer. When cancer is caught early you increase your odds of curing your condition. Also, your doctor can help you to develop a plan to stay healthy. 7. Eat right Eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans will help you reduce your cancer risk. Fiber is especially important when preventing colon cancer. Obesity can increase your risk of cancer so try not to eat too many highfat foods. Please remind your girlfriends, sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, godmothers to check their breasts and get their mammograms. We need to decrease the number of black women dying of breast cancer. There are several ways to get a mammogram if you do not have insurance, so if you or someone you know have found a lump and do not have access to insurance, look for the nearest Mammo-van or mobile mammogram program.
