FORWARD LATINO LAUNCHES FAITH-BASED
THE LORD KNOWS WHEN WE LOOK AWAY CAMPAIGN
Non-Profit launches website, billboard and more!

Franklin, WI – The National President of Forward Latino, a national nonprofit, nonpartisan service and advocacy organization headquartered in Franklin, Wisconsin, formally launched its “The Lord Knows When We Look Away” campaign this morning to remind all Christians of the intersection between their faith and the treatment of immigrants.

Statement by National President Darryl Morin:
“This morning, on behalf of our members, affiliates, and staff, people united by faith and conscience, we announce the launch of our 'The Lord Knows When We Look Away' campaign.

Rooted in a truth shared across faith traditions, this campaign affirms that every human life is sacred and every person is endowed by God with inherent dignity. Our sacred texts call us to see one another not as strangers, but as neighbors; not as problems to be managed, but as lives to be protected and cherished.

That responsibility does not end at birth, nor is it diminished by age, nationality, or circumstance. We are called to protect both life and the God-given dignity present in every person from the moment of conception, regardless of where that life began.

Moved by faith and guided by conscience, we are bringing this message to the web, social media, billboards, and beyond, to bear witness, speak truth with compassion, and remind all
people of faith that the Lord knows when we look away.”

Let’s help catch hit-and-run driver who severely injured a 30-year-old woman on Forest Home near Lincoln

Statement of Alderperson JoCasta Zamarripa
January 10, 2026

On December 30, 2025 at approximately 10:30 p.m., a driver hit and severely injured Yamaris Santiago, 30, as she was walking back to her vehicle after ordering food from a truck near Forest Home and Lincoln. The driver was speeding and just took off after striking Yamaris.

Yamaris, the mother of a four-year-old son, is in the hospital and has had at least one surgery to address a broken pelvis. She faces weeks of hospitalization, possible additional surgery and treatment, and a very long road to recovery.

This reckless and criminal act by the driver is not acceptable, and Milwaukee Police are asking for the public’s help to find the driver and the vehicle. I am asking anyone with information on this incident to please contact Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360, or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414)224-Tips or P3 Tips App.

Let’s come together to bring justice for Yamaris and her family.

Unámonos para atrapar al conductor que se dio a la fuga e hirió gravemente a mujer de 30 años sobre la Forest Home, cerca de la Lincoln

Declaración de la Concejal JoCasta Zamarripa
Enero 10, 2026


El 30 de diciembre del 2025, aproximadamente a las 10:30 de la noche, un conductor atropelló e hirió gravemente a Yamaris Santiago de 30 años, cuando regresaba a su vehículo después de ordenar su comida en un camión cerca de la Forest Home y la Lincoln. El conductor iba a exceso de velocidad y se dio a la fuga después de atropellar a Yamaris.

Yamaris, madre de un niño de cuatro años; se encuentra hospitalizada y ha sido operada por lo menos una vez para tratar la fractura de pelvis. Ella enfrenta semanas de hospitalización, posible cirugía y tratamiento adicionales, así como un camino muy largo hacia la recuperación.

Este acto irresponsable y criminal por parte del conductor no es aceptable, y la Policía de Milwaukee solicita la ayuda del público para encontrar al conductor y al vehículo. Pido a todas las personas que tengan información sobre este incidente, se comuniquen con la Policía de Milwaukee al (414) 935-7360, o con Crime Stoppers para permanecer en el anonimato al (414) 224-Tips o a través de la aplicación P3 Tips.

Giving blood has been part of my life since I was a junior in high school—about 22 years ago. I’m happy to continue that routine today along with many of our amazing city employees.

I want to thank the Versiti Blood Center for making this possible. Donating is the kind of small act that goes a long way and it’s something almost anyone can do. One blood donation can save up to three lives. That’s powerful.

So Milwaukee, just a small reminder: how you show up for your community has impact and power. A small act can lift immeasurable weight off of our neighbors and our most vulnerable.
