3. Black Educators Caucus: Wee chalk your walk: Saturday, June 27

The Black Educators Caucus is hosting a Wee Chalk Your Walk from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 27. The event is part of the Black Lives Matter movement in which participants will chalk the streets and sidewalks with messages of solidarity. The plan is to start at Wick Field, 4929 W.

In the meantime, people are asked to maintain social distancing, wear a mask, avoid gathering and only touch what they are going to purchase.

5. Free home rehab process and resources workshop: Saturday, June 27

Take Root Milwaukee is hosting a free online workshop for current and potential homeowners from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 27.
