Milwaukee Independent

Voices in Union: with Reggie Jackson and Maria Hamilton - is a weekly podcast that focuses on the African American Diaspora in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It connects local concerns to national trends on social justice, and educates the general population on the historical context of those issues. The program’s purpose is to build understanding, with a message of hope and reconciliation, and to offer underrepresented voices a platform to be heard. This episode includes a discussion about why communities of color have been adversely affected by severe weather over the winter - as a form of environmental racism, and how those affected suffer at the expense of affluent people, because financial gains have been a priority over family health.
