The moment demands bold action to start reversing the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands, cure what ails our sick health care system, arrest climate catastrophe, and come to terms with chronic and systemic injustices in our society.
While there may be reasons to be reticent about passing the entire package, the bill includes a number of key provisions that warrant consideration in some form.
Republicans want 10 more years of gerrymandering. To do this they would hand all power to state Supreme Court.
The 2020 election in Wisconsin is over, the results are certified, and the outcome is clear: Joe Biden won the Badger State, and he will be the next President of the United States.

The data shows us that contrary to popular belief, there is little correlation between spending and student outcomes.
This past February, the state Assembly passed the CARES Act – a bill that will cut unnecessary red tape for PAs, allowing us to expand access to care. The state Senate was poised to pass the bill, too, but the public health crisis cut the legislative session short.
Report finds higher fatalities in state despite fewer accidents during pandemic; crashes often involve alcohol, speeding.
Throughout the months of the pandemic, Republican and Democratic rhetoric, Biden’s win and Trump’s preposterous recounts, protesters in Milwaukee have been marching and fighting for over 180 days with demands for equity, justice and human rights: for Black and Brown people and against police murder and corruption.
