On June 19, 2019, the African-American Roundtable and 45 community partners launched LiberateMKE, a campaign to invest $25 million into the community programs that advance community safety and well-being, and divest $25 million from the Milwaukee Police Department. Over the summer of 2019, LiberateMKE surveyed over 1,100 people across the city of Milwaukee, in every aldermanic district, to see how residents really want the city to spend their money. Survey results point to three main areas Milwaukee residents want the city to invest in instead of the police department:

  • Community-based violence prevention efforts that do not involve law enforcement
  • Sustainable jobs for young people ages 16-24
  • Affordable quality housing.
