As members of Milwaukee’s Common Council met Tuesday to discern solutions about the city’s lead water issues, a group of demonstrators interrupted the session with a peaceful but pointed protest.
Members of the Black Panthers made their case by offering what they said was untreated water to Common Council members. As cited by TODAY’S TMJ4’s Shaun Gallagher:
The Black Panthers of Milwaukee are at today’s Common Council meeting to protest issues with Lead Laterals. They offer water with lead to the council members. Until something is done, they promise to disrupt events until something is done. pic.twitter.com/MOV6QeBZhg
