Why Community Unity Weekend Matters
Milwaukee families should not have to wait until a crisis to know where to go for healthcare, food, safety, or support. Community Unity Weekend creates one trusted space where residents can access resources, connect with organizations, and build stronger community ties.
This collaboration helps:
✔ Expand access to critical services
✔ Reduce barriers to care
✔ Strengthen community partnerships
✔ Increase visibility of resources
✔ Support healthier and safer neighborhoods
We ask all attendees to WEAR ORANGE to call for an end to gun violence in all of its forms.
