Alderwoman Coggs &Westcare's Kenneth B. ensure 5PNA has gunlocks for distribution

Good afternoon everyone,
AS we are all concerned about each other and what is occurring in the world causing us all to be on high alert, please note that Alderwoman Coggs and Westcare's Kenneth B. has provided gunlocks for 5PNA to partner and distribute the gunlocks. All we ask if that you fill out a survey that requests your zip code, age bracket , and you to keep the lock on the gun. It will provide think time for all and unwanted injuries. Keep the lock on the gun at all times even if you are allowed to carry. It will relax you, law enforcement and all others to keep promoting peace and think time to solve conflicts. Please inbox us to find out how to secure one of the locks. Keep in mind that Westcare will also have on hand.

Thanking you and keeping everyone in prayer during these turbulent times.

From Alderman Perez and Health Department

City of Milwaukee Health Department Requests Your Input

The City of Milwaukee Health Department has released a draft of the city’s first community-developed health improvement plan. Called the MKE Elevate Community Health Improvement Plan, the draft plan is the result of an extensive process to assess the health of city residents and hear directly from residents, agencies, and organizations about the most pressing health issues they feel a communitywide effort can address.

As a member of the Milwaukee Common Council Public Safety and Health Committee, Alderman Perez encourages you to review the draft plan and submit any comments, ideas, or feedback through September 30. If you represent an organization working on any of the identified issues, you are also encouraged to sign your organization up as a potential partner!
