Dear %FIRSTNAME%,
When our city’s children head back to school, they carry big dreams, heavy expectations and voices that deserve to be heard.
Over the past few weeks, the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service has been on the ground capturing the heart of our neighborhoods. We listened to local kids share their authentic hopes and anxieties, and we interviewed dedicated educators to bring families actionable back-to-school advice.
When rising costs put a strain on local households, our education solutions reporter, Alex Klaus, tracked down vital community resources. We mapped out where to find free school supplies and captured the joy of community backpack giveaways at Indigenous Peoples’ Park.
Our commitment goes beyond reporting. Through our NNS Connects initiative, we went inside classrooms at Audubon Technology and Communication Center to mentor high schoolers, helping them build the confidence to produce their own video projects about the issues impacting their lives.
This deeply rooted, solutions-oriented journalism keeps Milwaukee connected and empowered. To keep this vital work going, we need a steady foundation of support we can rely on.
Please consider joining NNSustainers by becoming a monthly recurring donor today.
Whether it is $5, $10, or $25 a month, your recurring gift ensures that our reporters can continue to spotlight the stories, the struggles, and the triumphs of our neighborhoods all year long.
Will you help us give Milwaukee the newsroom it deserves?
Thank you for believing in our city and keeping our community’s stories shining.
Proceeding until apprehended,
Ron “Ronshine” Smith
Executive Director, Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
