📣 Your voice matters!

The City of Milwaukee is making important decisions about next year's budget, and your input can help shape the future of our neighborhoods.

We encourage residents to attend a City Budget Hearing to share what matters most to you—from safe, quality housing and neighborhood improvements to city services and community investments.

Together, we can advocate for stronger, healthier neighborhoods across Milwaukee.

See the flyer below for hearing dates, times, and locations. We hope to see you there!

A strong city budget means stronger neighborhoods.

The City of Milwaukee Budget Hearings are your opportunity to speak up for the investments our neighborhoods need—from home repairs and healthy housing to strong code enforcement, neighborhood revitalization, and resources that help families stay safely in their homes.

Reclaiming Our Neighborhoods (RON) encourages residents, partners, and community advocates to attend one of the Budget Hearings on July 29 or 30. When residents share their experiences and priorities, our elected leaders are better equipped to make decisions that strengthen Milwaukee's neighborhoods.

📅 July 29 & 30
📍 North Side & South Side Budget Hearings (see flyer for locations and times)

Your voice can help shape a healthier, safer, and more vibrant Milwaukee.
