My friend, a low income woman who lives with tremendous pain found out today that her little income from State and Federal government will be cut, due to a technicality. I gave up awhile back knowing how government monies to low income people works, but do know that it is becoming harder and harder to get and there is less and less given. My friend is struggling, despite her pain and illness, to live independently and be a less burden on society by staying independent and getting the help she needs is getting harder and harder. I referred her once again to some advocacy groups, but even some of them are reluctant to help unless they can get some income from it.

What is happening to my friend is happening to poor and people in need, especially African Americans throughout the city. I got an email from a local Peace and Justice group of how they plan to form small discussion groups of 15 persons to discuss over the next year or so the issue of racial segregation in Milwaukee. We do not need more talk but we need some actions on racism in Milwaukee.

The rims are still up at the park across the street and Society of St. Vincent de Paul still has not got the 3.2 million dollar bank loan to create a thrift store in the suburbs where it is not needed instead of in North Central Milwaukee where it is really needed. I consider these battles against racism worth the struggle. But most, even some really good and dear persons, are just willing to talk, discuss and listen to ideas of how to help the poor or racially segregated. But to do something is another story.

One friend warned me about repercussions for my involvement is keeping the rims (code word for African Americans) in the park. I guess I am a little worried about vandalism to my property but to a guy who has been fired from his job, banned from a major institution, kicked out of university and loss a degree, arrested, jailed and imprisoned, suffered stigma and marginalization for peace and justice issues what more can people do?

I am not bragging or feeling invincible but once you suffer poverty, stigma or marginalization you can live easier without being afraid. Now if I could only figure out how to stop making it harder and harder for poor and marginalized to survive in society? Making it easy for poor and marginalized to live life is not easy.
