Milwaukee's Infant Report and Empty Cradle

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - January 22-24, 2010,

Lakisha Stinson and her daughter, Rashyia, who was born last month and is healthy, live in a Milwaukee neighborhood where the rate at which African-American babies die is worse than Botswana.

Crocker Stephenson - Journal Sentinel, and the City of Milwaukee released telling points about the status of "infant mortality" in Milwaukee. Since the reports say that we have a lot to do, let's get to it.

It is another, ALL HANDS on DECK, WE, Not Me Action Initiative Action.

Take a look at both reports and view the video at the bottom to arm yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, school, teacher, principal, care giver and the immediate world of your interest in making a difference in the present and future of Milwaukee.
