Common Ground Of Southeastern Wisconsin

Transforming Lives. Strengthening Communities

Mission

Common Ground is a new broad-based organization in Southeast Wisconsin. Their leaders and members come from diverse racial, ethnic, religious, cultural and political backgrounds. What they share in common is the desire to achieve positive changes in our community.

Common Ground exists to build and support an organization to address Greater Milwaukee’s critical social issues in an effective, non-partisan way. This organization spent their first year listening to over 1,400 people discuss their concerns including health care, education, jobs and economic development, crime, mental health, youth activities, immigration and housing. Common Ground has prioritized these areas of concern for research, which is now underway. They’ve also been conducting Leadership Institutes to teach volunteers the basics of organizing. For current events and programs from this organization, visit our Events Section.
