Kev txom nyem hauv Milwaukee
Raws li US Census Bureau cov ntaub ntawv, Milwaukee muaj qhov thib ob qhov kev txom nyem siab tshaj plaws ntawm 50 lub nroog uas muaj neeg nyob hauv Tebchaws Meskas, nrog 24.6% ntawm lub nroog nyob hauv kev txom nyem.
Hinton tau hais tias "Milwaukee yeej tsis tau tsim cov chav nruab nrab muaj zog tiag tiag," "Raws dua li tsim lub tswv yim ua lag luam zoo li ntau lwm lub nroog, peb tau tsim lub tswv yim ua haujlwm. Yog li thaum cov hauj lwm tawm mus, ntau tus neeg tsuas yog cov nyiaj tau los ua tau. "
Conor Williams, tus kws tshuaj ntsuam xyuas txoj cai tswjfwm ntawm Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Ncaj Ncees Hauv Zej Zog, tau hais tias deindustrialization uas tshwm sim nyob rau xyoo 1970 tseem yog qhov tseem ceeb rau kev txom nyem hauv Milwaukee.
Raws li nyob rau hauv ntau ntawm Midwest thiab lwm thaj chaw, qhov hollowing tawm ntawm kev ua haujlwm tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo tau tshwm sim.
Nws tau hais tias "Muaj ntau tsev neeg thiab cov tib neeg poob lawv txoj kev lag luam hauv lub sijhawm ntawd thiab tau tawm tsam kom nrhiav tau dua," nws hais. "Thiab tib neeg muaj lub tswv yim tias tsis muaj dab tsi uas lawv ua tau."

Txoj kev khiav dim txoj kev txom nyem
Raws li Abra Fortson, tsoomfwv txoj haujlwm thiab tus thawj saib xyuas kev txhawb nqa rau Social Development Commission, lub koom haum tau pom cov teeb meem uas ua rau tib neeg nyob hauv kev txom nyem. Ib tug yog kev txawj ntse dissonance.
Fortson tau hais tias "Tib neeg muaj kev ntshai ntawm kev tsiv tawm ntawm kev txom nyem," Fortson hais. "Lawv tsis xav ua kom zoo dhau los lossis khwv tau nyiaj ntau dhau vim tias lawv yuav poob lawv cov txiaj ntsig tseem ceeb thiab qhov kev ntshai ntawm kev poob cov cuab yeej ua rau lawv tsis xav ua tiav."
Polnitz thiab Thompson tau hais tias kev ntshai ntawm qhov tshwm sim ntawm kev sim kuj yog vim li cas cov neeg uas tawm tsam tsis tas yuav ncav cuag kev pab lawv xav tau.
Thompson hais ntxiv tias "Ntau lub sijhawm ntev mus nrhiav kev pab yuav ua rau tib neeg cov menyuam raug tshem tawm ntawm lawv lub tsev," "Yog li kom tsis txhob poob lawv cov menyuam, tib neeg tsis ncav cuag, thiab yog li tam sim no peb muaj cov neeg uas xaiv cia li mus yam tsis muaj."
Lwm qhov teeb meem yog "isms," kev ntxub ntxaug thiab kev ntseeg raws li kev xav thiab kev tsis paub.
Fortson tau hais tias "Peb tuaj yeem tham txog redlining nyob rau xyoo 60s thiab nws cov nyhuv kav ntev rau cov neeg ntawm cov xim hauv Milwaukee," Fortson hais. "Los yog peb tuaj yeem tham txog cov lus ceeb toom tsis ntev los no ntawm redlining lossis nqe gouging tawm tsam (Dub, Hauv paus txawm thiab lwm tus neeg xim) cov tswv tsev."
Redlining cuam tshuam txog kev txwv nyiaj txiag thiab lwm yam kev pabcuam rau cov neeg nyob hauv ib cheeb tsam raws li lawv haiv neeg lossis haiv neeg.
Kev raug mob kuj yog ib qho teeb meem.
Hinton tau hais tias "Qhov kev paub dhau los ntawm kev txom nyem yog qhov txaus ntshai heev, thiab nws muaj kev cuam tshuam loj rau lub hlwb ntawm cov neeg loj hlob los ntawm cov neeg pluag," Hinton tau hais. "Tib neeg tau tsim cov txuj ci uas yuav ua li cas kom dim ntawm kev txom nyem tab sis tsis txhob tawm ntawm kev txom nyem."
Qhov teeb meem kawg yog cov txheej txheem thiab cov cai.
Fortson hais tias "Cov kab ke thiab cov cai tsis tu ncua ua rau tib neeg ua tsis tau," “Thaum lub sijhawm nyiaj txiag los ntawm Milwaukee lawv yeej tsis nyob qhov twg cov neeg xav tau txoj haujlwm feem ntau tuaj yeem ncav cuag lawv. Qhov ntawd yog qhov system-fail. "
Xav tau: Ib qho kev qhia dav dav
Raws li Brown, cov koom haum pabcuam kev noj qab haus huv tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kev phom sij ntau dua li qhov zoo.
Brown tau hais txog lub sijhawm uas nws siv sijhawm zoo vim nws yuav tsum tau mus rau lub koom haum pabcuam kev pabcuam pejxeem.
Brown tau hais tias "Kuv tau siv dab tsi tuaj yeem ua haujlwm puv hnub hauv chaw ua haujlwm vim tias lub koom haum kev sib txuas lus tsis meej," Brown hais.
Brown tau hais tias "Tam sim no raws li ib tus neeg uas twb dhau los ntawm nyiaj txiag, kuv poob haujlwm, uas txhais tau hais tias nyiaj txiag, tau txais kev pab, thiab nws tsuas yog xav tias tsis muaj leej twg saib xyuas," Brown hais.
Brown tau hais tias yog cov koom haum pabcuam kev sib raug zoo tsuas yog pob tshab ntau dua txog cov kev xav tau thiab lub sijhawm rau kev thov thiab tau txais kev pabcuam, tib neeg yuav zoo dua.
Brown hais tias "Nws yog kev poob siab thaum cov kev pab cuam tsis tuaj yeem pab koj," Brown hais. “Tab sis nws yooj yim dua rau tsuas yog tsis lees paub kuv qhov kev pab dua li kom kuv tos kev pab kuv yuav tsis tau txais. Tsawg kawg yog thaum kuv paub tias kuv tsis tau txais kev pab, kuv tuaj yeem npaj tau. "
Raws li Hinton, qhov kev txom nyem uas peb pom tam sim no tau tsim los ntawm ntau tiam neeg ntawm cov txheej txheem thiab cov cai tsim los cuam tshuam rau qee tus neeg thiab cov zej zog.
Nws tau hais tias "Qhov no yog xyoo thiab xyoo ntawm kev txias zoo li," nws hais. "Tam sim no, peb muaj ntau tus neeg uas txaus siab rau kev pab cuam rau kev sib raug zoo dua li mus rau kev vam meej rau lawv tus kheej."
Kev nkag siab tias kev txom nyem tsis yog kev xaiv
Hinton hais tias tib yam uas yuav hloov kev txom nyem yog kom tib neeg to taub nws.
Nws tau hais tias "Peb cov zej zog tsis paub txog," nws hais. “Lawv tsis nkag siab qhov lawv tab tom ntsib, yog li lawv tsis lees paub. Peb yuav tsis pom qhov hloov pauv yam tsis muaj kev lees paub. "
Raws li Thompson, ib feem ntawm kev nkag siab txog kev txom nyem yog kev nkag siab lub siab ntawm cov neeg uas tau ntsib nws.
Nws tau hais tias "Feem ntau cov neeg txom nyem niaj hnub no tau yug los rau hauv kev txom nyem," nws hais. "Thiab thaum koj yug los rau hauv kev txom nyem koj ua haujlwm los ntawm lwm lub lens los ntawm ib tus neeg uas tsis yog."
Nws hais tias nws tsis yog ib qho yooj yim lub tswv yim kom khiav tawm vim qee cov neeg tsis tau ntsib txoj sia yam tsis muaj tsoomfwv pab kev nyab xeeb.
Nws tau hais tias "Thaum kuv pib ua nyiaj tau zoo thiab tsis tsim nyog tau txais nyiaj muas noj, kuv xav tias kuv lub neej dhau mus," nws hais. "Koj paub, zoo li kuv yuav ua li cas, kuv yuav pub kuv cov menyuam li cas?"
Hinton tau hais tias kev nkag siab txoj hauv kev uas txhua yam no ua haujlwm kom ib tus neeg nyob hauv kev txom nyem tsim kev nkag siab.
Nws tau hais tias "Yog tias koj nyob hauv qee qhov chaw ntawm lub nroog no, koj tsis muaj zaub mov zoo, kev saib xyuas kev noj qab haus huv, kev kawm zoo rau koj cov menyuam, vaj tsev zoo lossis kev ua haujlwm nrog cov nyiaj tau los txhawb nqa lub neej," nws hais. "Thiab tom qab ntawd koj ua khub nrog kev ntshai ntawm kev ua tiav, kev ntxub ntxaug, cov tswv cuab uas ua phem thiab tsis paub."
Thompson tau hais tias qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws kom nkag siab yog tias kev txom nyem tsis yog kev xaiv.
“Tsis muaj leej twg xav ua neeg pluag. Tib neeg tsuas yog ua haujlwm nrog txhais tes uas lawv tau daws, "nws hais.

"Tam sim no, Teb Chaws Asmeskas cov peev txheej kev ywj pheej tab tom ua haujlwm ntawm nws qhov phem tshaj vim nws tau siv tib neeg."
Nws hais tias txoj hauv kev zoo tshaj plaws los txo kev txom nyem yog kev nqis peev rau tib neeg peev.

Raws li Williams, vim tias cov neeg txom nyem tau ceev nrooj sim them cov nqi, lawv tsis tau nqis peev rau lawv tus kheej.
"Kev cob qhia them nyiaj tso cai rau tib neeg los nqis peev rau lawv tus kheej," nws hais. "Thaum koj tuaj yeem nqis peev rau koj tus kheej, koj tuaj yeem pab nyiaj txiag thiab ua tau zoo."
Hinton hais tias kev kawm yog qhov tseem ceeb.
"Keeb kwm qhia peb txog vim li cas peb nyob qhov twg," nws hais. "Yog tias koj tuaj yeem nkag siab tias koj tuaj ntawm no li cas, koj tuaj yeem ua qhov zoo tshaj plaws kom tsis txhob nyob ntawm no dua."
