Washington, DC – Tomorrow Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) will join the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and faith leaders for the CBC Day of Prayer on Capitol Hill. Milwaukee Inner-City Congregations Allied for Hope (MICAH) will host a corresponding Day of Prayer in Milwaukee. 

 

“Each day, poverty and income inequality threaten to further divide this nation into the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots,’” said Rep. Moore. “Approximately four in ten Milwaukee children live in poverty. What’s more, the poverty disparity between the city of Milwaukee and its suburbs is one of the highest in the nation. I hope those in Milwaukee, and our brothers and sisters across America, will join me to build awareness around this scourge inflicting our communities.” 

 

Please contact the MICAH office at 414-264-0805 with any questions. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please click here.
