Since it's getting darker earlier, The Police Department has seen an increase in bicyclists at night. Bike lights are required by Village Ordinance § 6-36 any time between 1/2 hour after sunset until 1/2 hour before sunrise. Bike lights and wearing reflective clothing make you more visible to motorists and can help prevent accidents. Also, be sure to follow these other bike safety tips:

• Whitefish Bay municipal ordinance allows those 12 years old and younger to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. When riding on the sidewalk, children need to be mindful of those walking on the sidewalks and of vehicles when approaching intersections.
• Be visible. If you can’t see the driver, they can’t see you.
• Be seen when stopped.
• Obey traffic laws, signs, and signals.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Ride on the road, bike lane, paved shoulder, or path.
• Enhance visibility with proper lighting.
• Wear a helmet.

Sue Ballew St Clair presents

How Racism Distorts the Human Spirit

CAPITA Productions will proceed with 

a musical performance

CAPITA Productions, which stands for “City at Peace in the Arts,” is a Milwaukee community theater nonprofit. Their goal is to draw from all areas of the community to foster multicultural awareness and racial harmony through community theater. Since its inception, CAPITA has worked to bring together people of diverse ages, races and backgrounds to provide an example of how the community can work together.

How Racism Distorts the Human Spirit: The focus of this presentation will be on racism and how it affects and harms the spirit of man - both Black and White - in America. Racism was embedded into the very foundation of America's beginning and therefore became an essential part of the development of its educational, religious, political and judicial systems, as well as housing and healthcare. It therefore became seeded into everyone born and raised in America. We will dive deeper into how this affects Blacks in this country, but also how it affects the spiritual health and well-being of Whites.

Sue Ballew St Clair has been a member of the Baha’i Faith since she was 19 years old and has served in many different capacities, including home front and international pioneering. She has a Master of Science degree in nursing and in international public health. She is focused on addressing the most vital and challenging issue (racism) in this country and the importance of centering the roles of people of African descent, the Pupil of the Eye, in the work of the Faith.

To register for this event, please choose one of these options: in-person or online participation, register by clicking here.

Questions and answers will follow the presentation. The event will also include information for further learning from our presenter and future events for CAPITA

Build an emergency kit! Consider unique needs of your family. Include supplies that might be needed by pets, older adults, and those with disabilities in the event of the emergency. Ready.gov/kit

Don’t forget to include: 

• Non-perishable food and water that can last several days
• Flashlights, radios, & extra batteries
