President's MessageHappy New Year and thank you for taking the time to view the MICAH website! For twenty years, MICAH has been building power with the aim to progressively impact the quality of life for greater MIlwaukee. Your support in this work has been critical to our success and we appreciate your steadfast efforts in the interest of justice!
The work of MICAH has created a legacy of justice and hope for many people in this community. We have cut and won issues that have helped people buy their own homes, attend better schools, and create safer neighborhoods. We have stood courageously and challenged systems to address the root of issues and not just bandage them. We believe that our efforts have created a better quality of life for thousands in this region.
In spite of our success, the mandate to continue our mission grows each day. Homicides and crime, Low performing schools, fewer employment opportunities that sustain families, investment in prisons and not people--all these factors are robbing ordinary citiens of hope. MICAH and our member congregations will continue to build the waste places and restore hope through the tool of organizing. As you take time to look through our website, please seek ways to get involved in our transformative vision for hope. We believe in a shared destiny—a destiny where we create flourishing communities of hope and opportunity. Individually, we can do a great deal to make a difference. But organized for collective power, we can accomplish much more and truly be the difference that we need in this community. In Solidarity, Rev. Louis E. Sibley, III
