Focus: Re-defining, Re-branding and Un-trapping Milwaukeeans of
Concentrated Poverty – replacing it with a BOTTOM-UP Recovery for a NEW Middle
Class.
Population: Over half-million people.
Target Audience: Milwaukeeans, especially African American, other
People of Color, Work-Challenged (un-, under-employed; un-, under-skilled,
retirees; re-entry – those from incarceration, war and retirement. Our hidden
talent focus includes the "disabled").
Over the last fifty (50) years, African Americans have had an increase
in poverty that has "trapped" the hopes-aspirations-goals-wealth
building of many African American families of:
- The Silent Generation - 1923 - 1940's
- Generation X - Baby Boomers - 1040's -
- Generation Y/Millennial - 1970/80 - 2000
- Generation Z/Net - 1995 - 2010
MPA seeks reform, immediate change with OPERATION Re-boot. It is the Action arm of All Hands on Deck, WE, Not Me
Initiative-Plan-Program.
To ensure that public policy making always include
a blueprint of the infrastructure of neighborhood-level strategic planning and decision making by residential and
commercial stakeholders.
To stimulate necessary changes for discovery of
"hidden talent", "emerging and culturally diverse stagnant
markets", to support transparency and accountability of those
elected-appointed-hired-volunteered that facilitate government funds. To work
as a change agent for the 3-Phase public school Education and Technology Trifecta;
and, to help ensure that ECP/Enduring Concentrated Poverty is not the
"brand" and reason for lack of success in the City of Milwaukee.
