Hope for the Inner City, Milwaukee
- This event has passed.
Description
How do we improve the socio-economic conditions of inner cities in North America? In a recent article written by Scott Calvert in the Wall Street Journal, Milwaukee was listed as one of four major cities that have experienced a return to murder rates not seen since the 1990’s – this happening while crime nationally is approaching an all-time low.
How are we to deal with a combination of sky-rocketing murder rates and vitriolic dialogue between those with opposing views? In this luncheon lecture Ismael Hernandez, of the Freedom and Virtue Institute, will discuss how fragile urban infrastructures are often vulnerable to patterns that impede human flourishing. As a solution, he presents an alternate vision for personal and communal uplift based on local entrepreneurial initiative.
We hope you are able to attend this free lunch event at the University Club of Milwaukee on Thursday, November 9th from 12:00pm – 1:30pm.
Join Ismael Hernandez and learn the seven principles of effective compassion. With his presentation “Hope for the Inner City”, you can adopt and learn a new narrative of human flourishing instead of poverty alleviation. Offering assets-based solutions, utilizing faithful witnesses instead of hired hands or “saviors”. Often, the poor don’t need to be told how to fish, they just need you to get out of their way to the pond! Let us show you how to empower them.
Free admission, join the conversation.
