Beginning in January of this year, Luke Waldo was given the honor to share the work that we are doing in Milwaukee and across our state with our Strong Families, Thriving Children, Connected Communities initiative through a monthly column in the Milwaukee Independent.
The Milwaukee Independent is an award-winning and advertising-free daily news magazine that advocates for inclusive social understanding in Milwaukee by publishing positive news content that covers a wide range of topics as a catalyst for community development. With a heavy emphasis on photojournalism and analytical reporting to fulfill this mission, our editorial staff is focused to being translators and storytellers more than traditional news correspondents.
January’s column: Why the Root Causes of Child Neglect Have Overloaded Families in Milwaukee and Across the State
February’s column: How the Weight of Poverty and Systemic Failures are Overloading Families
April’s column: A Journey through India and its Lessons of Social Connectedness for Milwaukee
May’s column: Why Mandated Reporting is not Supporting Children and Families in Wisconsin
