SAFETY MATTERS RESPONSE NETWORK launched THE 2011-2012 "SATURDAY TALK" series.
The goal of each SATURDAY TALK is to address a theme around the Main Issue for the Public Square - To PROACTIVELY address from the neighborhood-level, engagement around the recent and ongoing "revolts/protests in violence" led by youth-teens-young adults - with a 2012 Milwaukee Safety Matters Diversity Conference in mind.
The discourse is in two-parts:
-- An "Introduction" by Facilitators.
-- "Case Learning" for solution-building by all stakeholders present, especially assigned participants - those traditionally and by design left out of wealth-building and quality of life for sustainability.
