Good morning, Racine.

The Racine Community Foundation awarded grants to 23 local nonprofits to support community projects—details on funding amounts and specific programs were not provided.

Union Grove leaders launched a new community garden and public market after a Facebook post three years ago and leased nearly 1/4 acre at the west end of Leider Park for $1 a year.

The nonprofit group seeks community support through fundraising and volunteer efforts—hosting market events on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. through September—with plans to add educational programs and local partnerships.

Washington Park High School will screen the documentary 'CYCLE' (about the 2019 police killing of Ty'Rese West in Mount Pleasant) on July 19.

A recent report shows that getting a record expunged in Wisconsin is very hard because only people under 25 for certain non-violent crimes who complete all probation steps can apply (about 2,000 cases are cleared each year).

The report also explains that the pardon process is more straightforward but still takes up to two years for a decision.
