MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Marina Dimitrijevic is proud to announce she has been endorsed by Citizen Action of Wisconsin.
“Marina Dimitrijevic, more than any other candidate, understands that responding boldly to the climate crisis is a moral necessity that promises huge economic benefits to the working people of Milwaukee,” said Robert Kraig, Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. “The era of deindustrialization and inequality that began in the 1970s has been devastating to Milwaukee, turning one of the most prosperous cities in America to a city with some of the worst economic and racial disparities. Milwaukee has a tremendous opportunity to make the economic changes needed to prevent a climate catastrophe and for the first time in decades create thousands of good union jobs for Black, Brown, and white workers locked in the low wage economy.”
“Citizen Action has always been a force for fighting economic, racial and environmental justice and I’m honored to have their endorsement,” added Alderwoman Dimitrijevic. “I know they share my vision for transforming Milwaukee into a place where everyone can thrive. The status quo simply isn’t acceptable anymore.”
