“People can look at the national news and feel so disempowered...our goal is to make people feel like you don't have to have access to your congressperson to make a real difference,’ said Rangel. “A little bit of work can go a long way at the local level.”
What we are watching/listening to: Bridge the City Podcast.
Bridge the City spoke at Newaukee’s Near West Side “Building Tomorrow” event on the importance of civic engagement, independent media, and empowering yourself at the local level. Building Tomorrow is “a new innovation series showcasing what colleges, companies, and communities are doing to build Milwaukee’s future”.
Bridge the City is proud to be featured in the 707Hub's annual report which highlights our participation in the Business Bootcamp & Brewed Ideas Challenge.
