UBLAC Milwaukee

UBLAC is Uplifting Black Liberation and Community. Through outreach and collaboration, UBLAC will help individuals foster understanding about liberation through knowledge and application in order to generate independent living and thinking.

UBLAC, Uplifting Black Liberation and Community is a coalition led by Black Women, Queer, and Trans* folx working towards Black liberation with people of African heritage in Milwaukee to give the tools necessary.

We formed in August 2016 after Sylville Smith was murdered by a former Milwaukee Police Officer. We saw there was a lack of organizing in our city during the Sherman Park Unrest and wanted to help fill that gap and void in our city.

Our mission:
Uplifting Black Liberation and Black Community will equip, connect, and educate Black communities with resources and opportunities that will help provide a sustainable environment free from oppressive systems. This begins by using education about potential impact on the community, and how to heal from post-traumatic slave syndrome.

Core Values:
Black Community, Sustainability, Inclusion, Justice, Dedication, Accountability, Integrity, Collaboration, Self Empowerment, Love Education, Trust.
