10/18 Tues 12 noon Vigil against Maximus profiting off of poverty in Milwaukee! Meet at 1304 S. 70th St. (by Greenfield).Help us stop privatized W-2 agencies from denying services to people in poverty! This vigil will help celebrate Casa Maria’s 45 year anniversary and the Welfare Warriors 25th Anniversary of fighting for Mothers and children. - Maximus committed $45 million in Medicaid fraud and was left unpunished
- Maximus illegally spent ½ million of your tax dollars on parties, concerts, promotional items, and on attempts to gain new welfare contracts in other states. This money was supposed to provide services for Wisconsin families in poverty!- Maximus has been sued for race and gender discrimination by its own workers. Their temp agency, MaxStaff, was shut down after being found guilty of gender discrimination.-Maximus illegally denies homeless families services like bus passes and quality job training classes. Join us! Wear a scary costume if you wish! For info call Casa Maria at 414-344-5745 or Welfare Warriors 414-342-6662
